Yes, James brought it home on Sat

oh, N--has got the paper, l re-
member now Of lending it to him.'
/ am very sorry for that; | think you

Don't N take a paper?' inquir-

NO
why not? he is, as he says, always
very fond of reading
Yes, but he seems to think himself
unable to take one
Unable. He is certainly as able as
we are. lie pays a much larger tax, and

lent article which desire very much to
read
Mrs. C was an excellent lady, and
probably possessed as liberal feelings as
her peace-loying husband; but she could
not believe it to be their duty to furnish
a free paper to their more wealthy and
coyetous ncighbor.
N had formerly taken paper; but
thinking it too expensive, 20 the no small
discontinue Of shis wife and little ones,
he had ordered its discontinuance. He,
however. dearly loved to read, and had,
for a year or more, been in the habit of
sending little joe on the disagreeable
errand of borrowing old papers from his
neighbors.
Mrs. - waited patiently through the
day, expecting to see little Joe" coming
with the paper, but the day passed, as
likewise did the evening, and no paper
came.
The next morning, after breakfast, she
was heard to say
well, John, the paper has not been
returned vet
EAh, indeed I guess neighbor N

Would it not be best, wife, to wait

before that time
sAs YOU think best was the reply.
They waited 4nul nearly dark, but no
paper made its appearance. James, a
smart lad of ten wears, was now instruct
ed to proceed to ueighbor Ms and
get the paper. He soon arrived and made
known his errand. He was very politely
informed that it was lent to R the
blacksmith. who lived half mile further
on. James, unwilling to return home
without it, Notwithstanding the latcness

smiths.

WHAT WAS GAINED BY Ir2-At the
end of five years strife the people of
Kansas bid fair to secure freedom for
their Territory and State. The same
power that repealed the Missouri Com.
promise and enacted Popular Sovereignty
could have maintained the Compromise
and prohibited Slavery. What then has
Kansas gained by Popular Sovereignty
Just .tfre gears strite-no,hing more or
less. What will any Territory gain by
II! A greater or less degree of strife.
Nothing else. The Ncacs says, if The De-
mocracy under the lead of Douglas sue.
coed, it will eiIccluaiIy crush out the
slavery agitation. They succeeded in the
organization OF Kansas, and the result
was five years of the fierces, kind of
slavery agitation in Congress and ou,
of II. The Congressional prohibitionists
succeeded IN the case of Oregon, and
slavery agitation was never heard or with
reference TO that Territory. Enough

WHY SoSTs DESTROY THEIR You've
A writer in the HonaeSteaH pives an ar
tcle on this subject, in. which he argues
very conclusively that 1" cos,iveness and
its accompanying evils are the main
causes of sowS destroying their Young :;
and proper food is the preventative and
cure He says, and the fact is patent to
thousands OF pIg-raisers. that sowS never
eat their pigs when running a. large, with
plenty of green food, as in autumn but
with hardly any exception, sous ittering
| early IN the spring are troubled with cos
tiveness, often severely. This causes ex-
treme restlessness, often almost frenzy,
| and the pains of labor increases it until
they destroy their young or any other iiv.
ing thing within their power
i" Green food is the cure" If sows
are confined in pens at any season, and
especially in early spring, they should
have daily supply of green food for
some weeks before littering. Potatoes,
sugar beets, carrots, parsnips, and such
like are excellent, and half a peck per
day is amply sufficient. If no roots are
TO be had, sulphur. Ca tablespoonful two
or three times a week, may be given in
their usual food, and charcoal is also BEN
eficial. Sows should not be moved from
pen to pen at this time, as it disturbs and
lrritates them, they should be put by them
selves at least a month before littering.
and used at all times with kindness and
due attention TO their wants.
Corn and cob meal, or corn unground,
Is bad food alone for sows heavy with
young. Sour milk, kitchen slop,and veg
etable food should be given with it, and
for all swine it is to be preferred. In
summer, with good clover pasture, will
do without grain, and ever farmer should
provide proper pasture for his swine.
We have before stated that sows could
be prevented from destroying their young
by giving them rum sufficient to make
them tipsey after liitering. The preven-
tative of green food would be far better
for the animal, as we'll as of permanent
benefit. Sometimes sows refuse to own
their young, acting perfectly Indifferent
to their welfare. We have found this
readily overcome by holding the sow, and
allowing the pigs to suck once after which
she gave no further trouble Country

WHY so MUCH BEAUTY IN PoExyp!-
" Because " says Bayard Taylor, /" there
girls do not jump from infancy to young
iadyhood. They are not sen, from the
cradle to the parlor, to dress to sit still
and look pretty. No. they are treated as
children should be- During childhood
which extends through period of several
years they are plainly and losely dressed
and allowed to run, ronp and play in the
open air. They are not loaded down,
girded about, and oppressed every way
with countless frIlls and superabundant
fiounces, SO as to be admired for their oio-
thing. Nor are they rendered delicate or
dispeptic by continual stuffing candies and
sweet cakes, as are the majority of the
American children. Plain simple food,
free and various exercise, and an abun-
dance of sunshine during the whole Pc
riod Of childhood are the secrets Of beauty

a ASUsrERRASEAN OIL FoUSrAIN.-A
company of capitalists from Yankeedom.
in lS49, leased the Rock Oil Springs,
near TIusviIle, Penn, who did not begin
operations until May last, when they un-
dertook to bore for salt, or to find the
source of the oil, which is SO common
along the banks of Oil Creek. Last
week, at the depth of seventy-one feet
they struck fissure in the rock through
which they were boring, when to the sur
prise and Joy of every one, they found
they had tapped vein of OIL and water,
yielding four hundred gallons of pure oil
to every twentyfour hours.
The pump now IN use throws only five
gallons per minute of water and oil into a
large vat, when the oil rises from the top
and the water runs out from the bottom.
In few days they will have a pump Of
three times the capacity of the one now
in use, and then from ten 20 twelve hun
dred gallons of oil will be The daily yield.

SCIENCE OF MILKING Cows.-It is a
matter of great Importance that the milk
should be be drawn from the cows udder.
Careful experiments made in England
show, accurding to reports recently pub
lished, that L" the quantity of cream ob-
tanned from the last drawn cup from most
cows, exceeds that of the first in a pro-
portion of ten to one" Thus a person
who carelessl leaves but teacup full of
milk undrawn, loses in reality about as
much cream as would be afforded by four
or six pints al the eginning and loses,
too, that part of the cream which gives
the richness and high flavor to the butter.

There walked fend DER the glad green earth,
By the SIDE of the reaper death;
He dazzles alike with the glare of mirth,
Or quenches the light of the household hearth
With his foul and withering breath.
He stalketh abroad with his hydra head
And there gathereth in his bran
The falling foot and the strong mans tread
The restless living, and the ghastly dead,
And misery, want, and pain.
He nerves the of relentless hate
With the goblet's beaded foam,
He Turks in the hall of The rich and great,
In the beggar's moan, the palace gate
And curses the poor mans home.
He harters the wealth Of spotless name,
For the wine cups subtle glow,
And scathes the pinions of deathless fame,
Till they droop with their burhens guilt shame
Mid the curse of sin and woe.
And thsre coneth ever sorrowing WALL
In the path of his blighting tread
And childhood's checks grows wan and pale
And its heart is faint, and his footsteps fail,
For he grudgeth the poor their bread.
Grudgeth the poor their daily bread
And flleth the drunkards bowl
With want and woe-remorse and dread
With a nerveless hand and falling head,
And 4 on his deathless soul.
And beauty and manhood-love and mirth,
Still turn to the laughing wine,
Bat he bi ght d.home and the dagbened HEARTH
And the tears ofsorrowing ones of earth,
Lie deep in its gleam and shine.
And the iend still watcheth with tireless will,
For the swift and weary tread,
For he knoweth the wine wi III it's subtle Skill
Shall gatu e. alike the good and ill.,
