How the Money Comes.

Queer John has sung how the money goes.
But how il CONES. who knowsi Who knows'
Why, every Yankee mothers son
Can tell you how ''the thing is done.
1t comes by honest toll and trade;
BY yielding sle,ige and driving spade,
And building ships. balloons and drums;
And that's the way the money comes.
How does Il comet Why, as II goes,
by spinning, weaving. knitting hose,
by stitching shirts and coats fOr Jews,
Erecting churches. renting pews,
And manufacturing boots and shoes;
For thumps, and twists, and cuts and hues,
And heads and hearts, tongues, lungs 4 thumbs
And that's the way the money comes
How does 1t GOMEZ The way is plain
by raising cotton, corn and cain;
By wind aud steam, lightning and rain;
by guiding ships across the main;
BY building bridges. roads and dams,
And sweeping streets and digging clans,
Aud whistles, HIS. and huns;
And that's the way the money comes.
The money eomes-how did l say!
Not always in an honest way:
II comes by tricks IS well as toll.
But how is thati Why, slick as oil,
by putting peas in coffee bags;
by swapping watches, knives and nags,
And peidling wooden clocks and plums;
And that's the way the money comes
How does Il eome,-wait. let me see,
II very seldom comes 10 me;
II comes by rule, guess, and scale,
Sometimes by riding on rail;
But oitener that's the way II goes
From silly bellies and fast young beaux;
II comes in big, nay, little sums,
Aye. that's the way the money comes

Fattcning Swino.

A common error in faitening swine Is delay
inc il until late in the season. The food Ia
ken into the system is required not only to
build up the tissues, but to furnish animal
beat. In warm weather hut little fuel for
food is needed for this purpose, and fat accu-
mulates readily; almost the whole food eat
en- will be exhausted in keeping the animal
warm-hence the policy Of commencing to
fatten early. One bushel Of corn fed inmild
weather will give better returns than two eS-
pended in mid winter. II is advisable to
keep over a stock Of old corn to feed with
until the harvest commences, and supply
can be taken from the field.
Every animal relishes variety OF food.
and fattening swine will turn with eagerness
from their accustomed feed of corn to MUNICH
pea vines. or green corn stalks. Their appe-
tites will be kept up by gratifying this natu-
raj desire. Ground feed Of rye and oats, or
oats and peas, to take the place OF corn oc-
casionally, will be beneficial; and there
should be a liberal allowance OF green food,
with all the dairy wash that can be spared.
Clear water is also essential, and should al-
ways be supplied to the pen.

Deep Flowing.

A recent English writer makes the fol-
lowing sensible remarks on deep culture -
"That land may be injured by deep culture
is a common but very erroneous opinion
Flowing down good earth and up bad, and
letting it remain in that position, must les
son fertility for time, but that is not deep
culture /; it is literally exchanging good earth
for bad. and is the reason why individuals
declare that they have injured their land by
deep plowing. Let the nature OF the land be
what 1t may, il can be raised to its greatest
fertility only by a sufficiently deep pulveriza-
ton and mixture of the ingredients. Where
the subsoil is Of good quality, and in many
places il Is setter than the soil, bring 1t up
at once to the surface. Where deep culture
is judiciously executed, in no cases does the
new earth lesson or destroy the fertility OF
the old on the contrary, they improve each
other, and constitute deeper and more pro-
duetive soil.

Message OF His Exce1leney President JEFF Davis.
Able Documenf.

Able Document.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 29.-Congress met at noon
TODAY The Presidents Message was received and
read He announced the ratification of the permanent
stitution by all the Confederate States and 1t now
only remains for elections to be held for the cholce OF
officers to administer the Government.
He saws that the declaration OF war against this Con
fderacv bv Abraham Lincoln rendered it necessary to
Congress that they might devise the necessary
measures for the defence of the country.
He then reviews at length the relations heretofore ex
listing between the States and the events which have re-
suited in the present warfare.
pgon be says that the crooked paths OF diplomacy can
scarcely furnish example of such en- utter want OF
courtesy candor and drecness the course OF the
United States government towards our Commissioners
The President incidentally refers to the prudent cau-
ton which was observed by the fleet of Charleston
during the bombardment of Fort Sumter, and pays
high Compliment to the South Caronans for their for
bearance BEFORE their beroism during and their mag
nanimity after tie bombardment.
He saws Commissioners have been sent to England,
France, Russia and Belgium to ask our recognition as
members of the family of nations and make treates OF
amty and commerce. He recommends the appointment
| of other diplomatic agents.
He says that the Confederacy, through Vice Presi-
dent Stephens, has con cluded Convention with Nlr-
ginia by which Virginia has united her powers and
fortunes with
he has satisfactory assurances that other Southern
States will unite their fortunes with ours and says
that the most OF the Executive departments are IN sue
cessfu operation.
The Postmaster General will soon be ready to assume
| the direction of postal affairs.
i In conclusion he congratulates the Confederacy On
the patriotic devotion exhibited by the people of the
Conlederacy. Men in high official capacity and social
position and wealth. serving in the volunteer ranks
The railway companies are liberal in their rates tor
the transportation of troops and supplies and profer
liberal terms for the transportation of mails and agree
receive compensation the bonds ofthe Conederacy
He says people thus united and resolved, cannot
fail of final success.
We feel, continues the message, that is just
and holy and protest soemnly in the face of man
kind, that desire peace at any sacrifice save that
our honor and independence We seek no conquest nc
aggrandzemcnt, and concessions from the free States
5 Ali we ask is to be let alone
That none shall attempt our subjugation by arms
This will and must resist to the direst extremity
The moment this pretenson is abandoned, the sword will
drop from grasp, and shall be ready to enter in
to treaties of amity and mutually beneficial
So long this pretension is maintained with firm
reliance that Divine Power which covers with it
protection the just cause, will continue to struggle
for inherent right to freedom and sefgovernment
