Milking Qualities.

Mr.. Dent, member of Parliament,
who is now Stewardo of Stock at the
Shows of the Royal Agricultural Soci-
ETY. in his reporton the Newcastle exhi-
bition, calls attention to the importace
of extending greater encouragement
to milking cattle, instead of making
the meat-producing qualities su-
preme. lie says -" it may be no
easy matter for the Society to offer
prizes which shall encourage the
milking properties of cattle, but /
think that both breeders and judges
have too much lost sight of this quail
ty in their desire to prodnce the ut
most symmetry of with early matu-
rity We may, indeed go further,
and as how many of our high-bred
COWS can rear their own calves
Aeautiful as were the classes of fe-
rale Short-horns at Newcastle, there
were not one amongst them that we
co uld expect to fill pail with milk.
And yet if we turn to the early histo-
ry of their race, we find Mr.. Bates
describing one of his early cows as
yielding for some months, on grass
alone, butter and milk to the value
of 60 Is. per week and of others
hespeaks as having the same prop
erty to less extent. | cannot
therefore, but think 1; that if our great
breeders had applied their energy
and skill to improve the families in
which these good qualities were uni
ted, we might have had Short-horns
mot, perhaps, so perfect in symme-
try-but of more useful character,
capable of producing plenty of milk
and butter, and likewise of breeding
calves, which would in due time, fill
the seekers stall to his satisfaction.

How a Soldier Died.

The following incident occurred at
CITY Point Hospital, few days since:
A chaplain Of the Christian Commits
sion, while moving through the long line
of sufferers, administering the consola-
ii nof the gospel, approached the bed
side off gallant fellow who was severely
wounded. His earthly march was end
ed but when the chaplain asked HIM if
he was prepared to die, he motioned for
pencil and paper, and witha tremulous
hand wrote 81 am prepared to 60 to
heaven; my trust in Jesus Christ is per-
fect"-and Immediately under these words
of assured victory over the grave, "Come,
rally round the flag, boys" The chap
lain took the paper, and standing up,
read it with loud voice just as he had
concluded, a soldier who had lost hand
sprang from his bed, and waving the mu-
tilated stump in the air, burst forth with
the glorious song his dying comrade had
suggested. The effect was electric. A
thousand voices took up the chorus, and
the place of suffering was made to fairly
rock with the thunder of melody. As
that vast soldier choir ceased singing.
the chaplain turned to iook upon the dying
brave, lie was just in time to catch the
last faint smile that fiekered across the
sunhurnt face, as the soul was waited on
the strains of that Union music to the
throne of liberty.
