Raising Calves,

How l TREAT THEM "A calf that am
going to raise rcrer let it suck the COW. 1t
is much easier to learn it to drink without
than after suckng. have had calves drink
alone before they we're twelve hours old !;
and after the second day have but little
trouble with them, as they drink freely as if
10 good health. Besides the great advantage
of this, is, that when they ore turned with the
cows they never trouble them. neither have
/ to muzzle them to prevent their sucking, as
they know nothing about it.
WHAT I FEED TREM-For the first two
weeks / give them milk drawn from the mo-
tber; after that the cud comes, then l scad
a little bran or ground oats and corn, cake
meal &c. This mixture have about milk
warm, feeding them three times DAY, making
fresh each time, as they do not relish stale
food. They will coon eat O little hay :
clover is best If there is grass, tie them
ous for short time, and in six weeks may
be left run, and then slop gradually Stacked
off.
l consider march the best time to start
calves, as in April they can get little grass,
and by the following winter they have a good
beginning. SIxos.

rnE DEATH OF SENATOR DOUGLAS.

Judge Douglas was best known to the people
OF his country as United States Senator from lii.
nois. In that once illustrious body be achieved
bis preudest distinction. II was there he was
"The Little Giant" Impartial men of all par.
ties who are familiar with the Senate for a quar-.
tof Of century, say lha. he has had ns ,usl :r
that time as an offhand debater, and his moro
elaborate efforts were always most overwhelming
manifestations of forensic power. His great
trait OF character as statesman, was that he
always thought out his case for himself aud near.
ly always pursued his ohjec, by some original.
bold, and striking course. In debate he was ev.
or ready, and never at less for an expcdient.-
Indeed, his fertility of resource was wonderful,
and woe to the unfortunate adversary who, being
night as to the main question: would permit him
self to be drawn aside into ambush Of collate'
raj issues, for from that moment his defeat is GER
tain.
As statesman it is yet too easily to truly esti'
mate the character of Judge Douglas Even now,
men OF his own party are divided upon the
great measure with which, more than any other,
his name is identified. There are those who
believe that popular sovereignty" as developed
in the Nebraska bill, is the "cause Of all our
woes" while others are firmly of the conviction
that it saved the Union iu SO, so and 's6, and
that the terrible ordeal through which the country
is now passing is the consequence of the deserton
OF that principle into which portion of the De.
mocracy were driven by Tie domination of the
Southern oligarchs at Charleston.
Judge Douglas dies at a critical period for his
country. He had, in the present troubles, with
the instincs of patriot and with the sagacty of
statesman, espoused the cause of the Govern.
ment with all the fervor and energy of his nature.
Just at this juncture, when his boltness and
courage and dauntless resolution is most needed
bv his country, he is lost to her service through
the inscruable providence of God.
As was beautifully said by an ex.President, at
the funeral service of one who should have been
President, "the great heart of the country will
"throb heavily at the portals of his grave."-

Mr.. Fields, the Boston publisher, has won.

give the desired Information. 4 pompous
would-be wit, not long ago, thinking to puzzle

be had himself that morning written some
poetry, and be intended to submit it to Mr..
F., as Sou,bey's, and inquire u which of bis
poems the lines occurred. At the proper
moment, therefore, after the guests we're
seated he began :-"Friend Field, have
been much exercised Of late, trying to find
out 10 Sonthey's poems, his well-known lines,
running thus"-(repeating the lines he had
composed )-"can you tell us about what time
he wrote them ?" 81 do not remember to
have met with them BEFORE" replied Mr.. F.
"apd there were only two periods in Soutbey's
life when such lines could have possibly been
written by him." "When we're those 2" gee.
fully asked the witty qrestioner. "Some.
where" said Mr.. f., "about that early part ol
his existence when he was having the measles
aDd cutting his fret teeth or near the close
of his life, when his brain had softenst, and
he had fallen into idiocy. The versifcstion
belongs to the measles period, but the ex.
preston clearly betrays the idiotic one" The

about fifty or sixty, accordingly visited bis

window. and, after pHrley the reverend gen.
tleman himself appeared at the window He
was asked if be had uttered the traitorous
sentiments charged upon him. Ill said he
did make remark on hearing the news from

than from any motive of disloyalty. He said
he had always been Union man, and had al.
ways preached in favor Of the Union. He
was asked to show his flag, when he said be
mad only small one, which be exhibited.
Some one in the crowd advised him never to

TIE BEAUTY OF RELIGION. religion
beautiful Always 10 the child, the mai
den, the wife, the mother, religion shines with
holy, beuignant beauty of its own, which
nothing on earth can mar Never yet was
the female character perfect without the
steady faith of piety. Beauty, intellect,
wealth-they are like pitfalls, dark 10 the
brightest day, unless the divine light, unless
religion throws her soft beams around them,
to purify and exalt, making thrice glorious
that which seemed all loveliness before. Re.
lgion is very beautiful, 10 health or sickness
or wealth or poverty. We can never enter
the sick chamber of the good but soft music
seems TO float on the cir, and the burden OF
the song is, "Lo peace is here" Could we
look into the thousands of families to day
where discomfort fights sulenly with life, we
should find the chief cause Of unhsppiness, to
be want of religion 10 woman. Aud, in fell
oDs' cells, in places Of crime, misery destitu.
tiou, ignorance, we should behold, in oil its
terrible deformity, the fruit of rreIigion in
woman. Oh 4! religion bengnsnt maiesty,
high on thy throne thou sjttest, glorious Gnd
exalted. Not above the clouds, for earthly
clouds never come between them and the tru.
ly pious soul not beneath the clouds, for
above these is Heaven, opening the broad vis.
ia of exceeding beauty. Its gates are ths
spleudor of jasper and precious stones, with
which dewy light that neither flashes or bla.
zes but proceedeth steadily rom the throne of
God. Its towers bathed in refulgent glory,
ten times the brightness of the thousand suns,
yet soft undazzliug to the eye.
