A NEW RACE OF CATTLE.

According to Belgian journals, NJ. Du-
trone, one Of the most distinguished cat
tle-breeders OF France, has succeeded, af-
ter twenty years trial, in producing bo-
vine race without horns, which carried
the first prize at the great calle-.how Of
Poissyn, in 1854. A cow of this species,
which had been raised on the farm Of
the King of Belgium, near Brussels, was
killed latel ly in the latter town, in pres
ence Of the professors of the veterinary
school, and the surveyors of the public
slaughter house. The report Of these
gentlemen confirms the fact that the
quantity, both of suet aud meat. was much
more considerable than that of Ike ordl.

BY ALv!RA WILLIAMS.

When approach the shades of even,
And the stars above
D-ck the mighty arch of heaven
As with gems of love;
Then my spirit, ever free,
Holds comH union sweet with thee.
When the breeze is softly signing
Through each leaf-crown'd tree,
And the lingering sunbeams lying
On the scented lea;
Thoughts of thee do throng my breast
Robbing me of dark unrest.
IsI take nv morning ramble
Through the grassy lawn,
Climbing over brake and bramble
At the early dawn;
Every zephyr seems TO bring
Thy sweet voice, upon its wing.
Thoughts of thee dear one, shall guide M
All lifcs paths along
And thy geHtleness shah chide me,
When think of wrong
Ever shall thy memory be
Kept sacred trust by me.

KEEPING APPLEs.-Tf you want your
winter apples 10 keep we'll YOU must care
fully observe the four following things:
l. See that the surface or outside Of
your apples are perfectly free from mois-
ture before you store them away.
2. Avoid putting them in damp
place where moisture can have access to
them
3. Exclude them from the air by bury
ing them ip dry earth, the drer the bet
ter, or covering them in the cellar with
such earth.
4. Keep them in as cool a temperature
as possible, but SO as to avoid frost; for
heat, air and moisture are three active
agents that must, when acting in concert,
soon heat aud rot your apples. And the
sau,e is equally true of winter pears and
also OF all your root crops, such as cab
baee, carrots, parsnips, beets, turnips, po-
tatOes, etc.

this purpose is described as small and

year St. Petersburg has furnished Eng

the last fifty years, steel pens of various
kinds have been manufactured in Great
