A TENNESSEE DEER PARA Nashville Tenn
correspondent of the Rochester and Union Aduer-
tiser discourses as follows:
We have visited two estates near Nashville, both
of which are worthy of notice The first is that Of
Gen. Harding, q gentlemen of large hereditary
wealth, whose extensive lands are situated i've or
six miles from this city. l cannot now remember
how many acres he possesses; his park alone con-
tains 800 acres. We here saw between 200 and 300
deer, which on our approach displayed all their at
titudes and habits, and scampered away, feet and
graceful also heard of elk, between which and US
q magnificent buck of the same species kept moving
on guard, with such evident impotence, and with
such an ominous tossing of his long pointed antlers
that we took another direction were we'll con-
WINGED that these, his natural weapons of warfare,
were long enough and sharp enough to reach through
and beyond our carriage. His predecessor in the
patiarchial honors of the herd, we we're informed,
showed himself so combative and dangerous to Wis
itors that his horns were sawed off as precaution
of necessity; but either taking this mutilation to
heart or being unable any longer to maintain his
position against his younger competitors by force
the old fellow abdicated his throne and now passes
his days in retirement 1t was curious to notice
that while the deer proper all ran at approach
the female elks of closely kindred species, con-
sidered themselves safe while their male guardian
kept guard on line between them and MS In this
same park we came upon social gathering Of about
80 buffaloes consisting of bulls, COWS and calves
the juniors basking lazly in the sun, and the old
patriarchs chewing, their cuds with great gravity
and look of infinite wisdom.

HEALTH AND DIsEAsE-DlFFERENT KINDS OF MEAT
AS FooD.-The richer the meats used as food are in
soluble albumen, the poorer are they m fbrne and
fat the easily dgestble will they be, if other
constituents do not neutraze this property. Thus,
the flesh of pigeons and fowls is more digestible
than veal, and veal is more digestible than the
muscles of oxen sheep, and deer Horse flesh is,
doubtless very similar to the latter; and the Mon.
gols and Patagonians, and even some Christian ma.
tons in times of famine have proved its advantages
as a nutrment while recent investigations of the
French physicians have scientifically established
them. The quantity of fat places the muscles of
swine and geese among the most heavily digestible
meats while, on the contrary, most of the different
kinds of game owe their superiority to the small
proportion of fat they possess which distinguishes
them from the meat Of high-fed domestic ANIMALS.
The flesh of fishes according to their proportonately
small quantity Of fbrine and their abundance in
soluble albumen, might be supposed easily digesti
BILE; but the quantity of phosphorus fat renders
them difficult Of solution in the digestive juices. Of
the ntestines there is aliment more easily diges-
tible than the sweetbread of calves. A
On account of the formation Of acetic acid in the
external parts and of the less complete conguaton
of the interior, roast meat which does not contain
too much fat is easier of digestion than boiled Soft
boiled eggs are, on the whole dissolved in the
stomach with greater facility than hard ones; but
as dissolved albumen eongulated by the acdity of
the gastric juice, and is afterward dissolved again,
the process Of boiling the eggs hard if not carried
to excess does not materially interfere with their
digestbility. As all kinds Of flesh contain suffi-
cent proportion Of fat and salts to restore to the
human body the inorganic constituents Of the excre
tons and the transformed fats that kind Of flesh,
however, which contains the albuminous matters in
the greatest abundance is to be considered the most
nutritious Vension and beef are therefore more
nutritious than veal and veal more nutritious than

Beautiful and Useful Thoughts.

A little daughter, ten years old, lay on
her death-bed. 1t was hard to part with
the pet of the family; the golden hair,
the loving blue eyes, the bird-liko voice,
the truthful afectionate child How
could she be given up? Between this
child and her father there had always
existed, not a relationship, merely, but
the love of congenial natures. He fell
on his knees by his darling's bedside and
wept bitter tears. He strove to say, but
could not, "Thy will be donel" 1t was
conflict between grace and nature, such
as he had never before experienced. His
sobs disturbed the child, who had been
lying apparently unconscious. She opened
her eyes and looked very much distressed.
"Papa, dear papa" she said, at length.
"What, my darling?" answered her
father, striving for composure.
"Papa," she asked, in faint, broken
tones, show much--do cost you--every
year?"
Hush, dear, be quiet" he replied, in
great agitation, for he feared delirium
was coming on.
"But please--papa--how much do l
cost you?'
10 soothe her, he replied, though with
shaking voice "Well, dearest, per-
haps two hundred dollars. What then,
darling?"
because, papa, thought--maybe-
you would lay it out this year--in Bibles
for poor children--to remember me
by"
a beam of heavenly JOY glanced in the
fathers heart, the JOY of one noble, lov-
ing spirit, mingled with its like. Self
was forgotten - the sorrow Of parting,
the lonely future. Naught remained but
the mission of love, and thrill of graft
tude that in it he and his beloved were
co.workcrs.
81 will, my precious child" he replied,
kissing her brow with solemn tenderness.
"Yes," he added, after pause, 81 will
do it every year, as long as live. And
thus my Lillian shall yet speak, and draw
hundreds and thousands after her to
heaven"

Good-by, Wales give ohr love to your

will be happy You have seen some
very sensible men in this country, Albert
Edward, and you must remember them;
you have seen nearly all of our snobs and
lick-spittles, and you will not remember
them. Nobody, beside such, expects you
will. You have heard that tune God sare

but you have persistently whistled Dirie's
Land. You have been very much squeezed
Albert Edward, and it will be good for
you. You have been rubbed against,
and it will make you bright. A great
many stories have been told about you,
Mr.. Wales, some of which are true and
some false. You have worn very good
clothes, but not handsome hat. You
have ridden about with some very good
horses, and you have received some of our
choicest varieties Of mud turtles to take
home. You have visited institutions
which you didn't care a snap about, and
you have danced with some Of the best
dressed old ladies to be found in America.
You like to dance, but you don't dance
Lancers very well. Still, you are pretty
clever fellow. IL you lived in this county
you would stand chance to be ruined,
Albert Edward. You would certainly
join fire company, and then you would
be sent to the Common Council, and then
you might bo elected to Congress, and
then you would lose all your self-rsspect,
aud you would be done. Reporters have
bothered you very much, you say, Albert
Edward. They have bribed your cham
bermaids, and bought up men of your
suite. You have been god-send in the
way of "items," Albert Edward, and in
behalf of the reporters Of Boston, ! bid
you an affsctionate farewell. Tch Diem
is played out on this side, Albert Edward
and you have taken home something Of
II PhVibs Upum. One thing TO your
credit, Albert Edward: You have paid
Your bills with remarkable promptncss
and you have done your tour in good
shape. You seemed to have any amount
Of money and you put it out freely
You have been going it, and now yot

THE LORDS PRAYER-AN AcRosTIC.
Our Lord aud King who reign'st enthroned on high
Father of Light Mysterious Deity!
Who art the great AM-the last, the first
Art righteous, holy, merciful and just
In realms of glory scenes where angels sing,
Hearen is the dwelling-place Of God our King
HaL0lred thy name, which doth all names transcend
BE thou adored, our great, Almighty Friend,
Thy glory shines beyond creations space
Named in the book Of justice and of grace;
Thy kingdom towers beyond thy starry skies;--
Kingdom satanic falls, but thine shall rise.
Come, let thine empire, o, thou Holy One,
Thy great and everlasting will be donel
wa God make known his will his power display?
BE il the work Of mortals TO obey.
Done is the great, the wondrous work Of love-
On Calvary's cross he died, but reigns above,
Earth bears the record in thy holy word.
As heaven adores thy love, let earth, o Lord;
II shines transcendent in the eternal Skies
Is praised in heaven-for man the Saviour dies.
In songs immortal, angels laud his name,
Hedren shouts with joy and saints his love proclaim
Gire us, oh Lord, our food, nor cease to give
Us proper food on which our souls may live.
This be our boon to-day, and days 10 come,
Day without end, in our eternal home;
Our needy souls supply from day to day,
Daily assist, and aid us when pray;
Bread though ask, yet, Lord thy blessing lend,
And make grateful when thy gifts descend.
Forgire our sins, which in destruction place
Us-the vile rebels Of n rebel race.
Our follies, fruits and trespasses forgive
Debts which nc'er can pay or thou receive.
As we, oh Lord, our neighbors' faults o'crlook,
We beg thou DIST blot ours from thy memory's book
Forgire enemies; extend thy grace
Our souls 10 save, cen Adams guilty race
Debtors 10 thee in gratitude and love,
And in that duty paid by saints above
Lead us from sin, and in thy mercy raise
Us from the temptcr and his helish ways;
Not in our own, but in Ills name who bled
Into thine ear we pour every need
TcmtdfiOH's s. fatal charms help Us to shun,
But may we conquer through thy cOnquering Son.
DeiiUcr us from all which can annoy
Us in this world, aud may souls dcstroy;-
From all calamities which men betide,
Fri and death, Oh turn our feet aside
For We are mortal worms and cleave to clay;
Thine 'ts to rule, and mOrtals to obey.
Is not thy mercy, Lord, forever freol
The whole creation knows no God but thee.
Kingdom and empire in thy presence fall;
The King Eternal reigns the King Of all.
POWer il with thee--to thee be glory given,
And be thy name adored by earth and heaven.
The praise of saints and angels is thy own.
Glory to thee the Everlasting One,
FOrsrer be thy triune name adored.
Amen! Hosanna! blessed be the Lord!
