THOUGHTS WHILE SEWING, BY AN OLD
MA1n

Men sow wild oats, and woman buttons.

down his throat.-Man's love is like the
moon, if 1t does not grow larger, it is Ger
tain 10 grow smaller.-A man may do good
by STEALTH" but as for his blushing TO find
it fame,' that's all nonscnse-Man shrinks
from cold meat. Does this arise from mans
innate presumption Of always ruling the
roast Y-Man takes woman will, dowry
IN the same way that he accepts the hamper
that brings him handsome present Of game
Men have two ways Of extipguishing the
flame of love-they either let it burn out
quietly, or they snuff it out by one blow
In dilemma, during the time a man has
been standing like fool, fumbling fer an
excuse, a woman will have invented ten
thousand.-Wives are often foolish enough
to sit up for their husbands, but you henr
OF few husbands who have the patience to
sit up for their wives.-How many men
are there who think they are making them
selves exceedingly popular when they are
only making themselves extremely ridicuI-
ous.-Aen have been pointed out TO me
who were said to be great thinkers.
have watched them, and found them very
great thinkers-men who evidently thought
Il great deal-but then it was evidently
about themsclves.-An old maids only
coulidant is her pillow. All her cares

waking, are confded TO its soft embrace
1t is the only depository and witness of the
tears that she. sometimes sheds over broken
hopes. Moro than this, it is confdant
that never moclIs-ncver Letrays her.

sion, when the famous DR.. Maxcy, Of South

PAT AND THE Welded PAIR.

Last month Gen. Sampson Dove, Of
Winepusa, married the darer of the Ameri-
can Keounsel (consuD 10 Dublin,. Miss
Jemima Fox. Did you ever see her; ;sstran.
ger?" "Never,"I said. "Well, that's a
cruel pity, for you would have seen a pee
Ter, tell you-a real corn.fed gal, and no
mistake. Just what Eve was, guess, when
she walked about the garden, and angels
came to see her-not so cverlastin' thin
and vapory, like sunbeams. Well, they
first went to Killarney ona wedding tower,
and after they had stared at the lovely place
till they hurt their eyes, they came down
here to see the Groves of Blarney, and what
not. Well, the G4eral didn't want folks
to know they were only just marricl, for
the people always run to the wiuders and
doors to look at bride, as if she was
bird that was only seen once in hundred
years. It's onconvenienL that's fact, and
it makes sensitive, minded gal
feel as awkward asa wrong boot. So says
the Gineral to Pat,' says he, "don't 60 and
tell folks we are only jus! married lie low
and keep dark, will youa that's a good
fellow Bcdad, neverf ear, yer honor; divil
much they'll get out. Of me, can. tell
you. Let me alone for tiat; can keep a
secret as we'll as ever praist in Ireland.
Well, for all that; they did stare, in way
that was caution to owls; and we'll they
might, for it amt often they saw such
gal as Miss Jemima, can tell sou though
the Irish gals warn't behind the doer when
beauty was given out-that's fact. At
last the Gineral sees something was in the
wind, above common, for tho folks looked
amazed in the house, and didn't seem half
pleased either. So says he, one day, 'Pat,'
says he, 4 hope you did not tell them we
were only just married, did you r Tell you
was just married, is it, yer honorY' said he
let me alone for that They were mighty
inquisitive about it, especially the master
he wanted to know all about it entirely.
Married, is it asnysl why, they amt married
at all, at all, the divil a parson ever said
grace over them9 ButI'll tell you what
says I, "if you won't repeat it to nobody,
they are goin' to be married in about
fortnight,for 1 heard them say SO this blessed
day, with my own ears If the Gineral
wasn't hopping mad, It amt no matter. In
haitian hour he and his wife were on board
the steamer for England, and Pat is in the
bed here yet from the kicking he got.-Du5-

EARLY FATTEN1nG OF AN1mAEs.

Inc philosophy of increase of fat in an-
'mals is, that the digested food not needed
to supply waste in the system, is laid up in
the form OF fat around the muscles, ready TO
be absorbed again into the circulation if
needed. Waste is induced by exercise. or
use Of the muscles, and also by comhns,;o,
in tho lungs, Of the digested food, TO SUD.
ply animal heat. Hence, the same amour;
of food given in warm weather VII, if
digested, afford greater surplus Of fat
than when fed in cold weather. Hogs or
other animals intended for fatter;ag should
be shut up this month, (Scptembcr.) Many
advocate making the size Of the fattening
pen so small that the animal will have but
just room to stand or lie While coufine-
nsent favors rest and disposition to fat
ten, ,'too close quarters are not healthful for
the animal, whici, needs moderate exercise
to promote digestion. The quality of the
flesh produced must be somewha. impaired
by any confinement that interfercs with the
health. The appetite may be kept up by
change of food, Of frequent supply of green
vegetables, such as corn, cabbage leaves,
pea,vines, and the refuse Of. the garden.
Cooked food digess much more easily than
raw, and is in a condition to yield more
nourishment, and is also better relishcd by
most kinds Of stock. Cleanliness in the
tattening pens should not be overlooked.
Although pigs proverbially are f|th;, they
are not really so; they do not delight in
the cffluvia Of their own droppings, rs any
one can see by noticing that they generally
appropriate one portion Of the pen 10 filth.
An occasional washing and SC rubbing with
soap'sand will conduce much to their thrift
all animals keep in condition more easily
when the skin is kept clean and healthy.
