Usefulness Of Birds.

In many parts Of the country birds
seep to be decreasing from year to year.
Many farmers believe that birds are Of no
service, but rather an injury to crops.
The rising generation are delighted TO
find some mark at which to exercise thsir
shooting talent and SO the birds avs
slaughtered out of mere sport. IL is
question whether the country is pot great
ly the loser by this wantonpess. The
nupber of insects hurtful to vegetation,
which birds destroy during the year, il
immense. They doinestipable service in
orchards and gardens in ridding us Of
bugs and vermin, which, If left 10 breed
and accumulste, would often destroy whole
crops. The amount Of damage which
birds DO is very small. They may, il is
true, pick kernel here or there FROM tbs
grain crops, but this ought not to be be-
grpdged to such iDdeiatigable workers,
while cleaning the fields Of ippameFRhle
enemies to vegetation.
While in England, going upon tho
farms, we could not but note the difference
between the greater number of birds snd
kinds of game there than are found upoH

MIlKING.

DR.. Dadd gives the followin & directions
The FIRST process in the operation of mill
ing, is TO make the cow's acauaiRtapee;
fgfvc her to understand that the milkeI
approaches her with none other than
friendly intentions; for ifh he swears, scolds
or kic1,s her. she will give the mixer the
benefit of her heels, which in my opinion
he is justly entitled to.
Before commencing 10 milk the COW
she should be fed, or have some kind oi
fodder; in the enjoyment Of the mastica-
ton of the same, her attention is withdrawn
from the mixers operations; and the
milk is not "held up,"as. the saying is.
bu. is yielded freely
T he mixer should not sit 6ff at dis
sance like acoyard, but his left arm should
cone in contact With the leg of the cow,
so that she cannot kick. Before commenc-
ing to milk, the teats are to be washed
! with cold water in warm weather. and
EarA water in winter. ~
The best mixer is merciful man.
The uddcr and teats are highly organized
and very sensitive, and these facts should
be taken into consideration, especially
when milkit < u young COW, for the teats
are somctin excessively tender, and the
hard tuggirs and squeezing which many
poor sensitive creatures have to endure, at
the hands of some thoughtless, hard fsted
man, arc really distressing to witness.
A better mixer than a merciiul man is
woman. The principal part Of tbs
milking in private establishments, in lcs
eign countries, is done by wOmep; and il
the United States there are thousands o.
capable woman, cut es employment, wht
might be adyantag gcously employed. il
private dairy establishments, as milk
maids.
An iaaolent person-slow coach :
should meyer be suffered TO topch COW!
teat; the process, to say the least Of it, II
painful; therefore the best mixer is the
one that can abstract the milk in thu
quickest time.
Finally, milk the COW dry. The last
Of the milk is the most valuable, yet Mr
Hurry. up cannot fnd timO to attend to
this matter, consequently he loses thu
best Of the milk, aud actually ruins th'
Cow as mixer.

Attempt to sanotify the Stage.

Rev. Robert Ainsie. celebrated cler-
gymap in London, of the established
church, lately preached sermon to actors,
in which he said:
"Perseyere in the course you have en-
tered upon to purify and elevate the stage
! do not mean by this that you should ex-
clude fpp and folly, for the theatre is The
proper place for them. Your work in So
ciety is Of vast amount. If we'll done,
you may confer upon mankind a lasting
blessing. You may help to purify society
or fearfplly to co+rupt it, You have hu-
man life aud human passions of all past
time, as we'll as Of the present, to describe,
to depict, and great truths to apply to the
conscience. To somo your work may be
a parable like that of~Nathan TO David ;
but when, with the eloquence of the stage
and the power of the truth, you can say
with Nathan. III on art the man. you may
do in one night, with many conscienccs,
more than the pulpit can do in many
nights, where there is mp application TO the
mind or heart. of what is preached. II is
your purpose by your personal and private
conduct, by the uprightness and morality
Of your company of ACTORS, by your res
pect fer your audience, so to repress what
is offensive, SO to regulate the conduct of
a certain class Of play -goers, and so to ele-
vate your profession BY high literary and
histrionic representations of mep and their
MANNERS, that prejudiccs against yous pro
fession and your work may be lessened,
and that the stage may become what it
ought to be-a great teacher to instruct, a
reprover to purify, apd source of occa-
sional pleasure after the heavy. pressure af
the cares and labors of the day"

that amusements shou Id always be select

They should moi be- simple, pimless wan.

doct riue Of amusement, that Il should be
such as 10 contribute 20 the we'll being Of
the body. 1t is therefore imporssnt. ss-
pecislly in ciiies. that great provision
should be made for athletic sports Of every
kind. Boating is good. Riding and dris-
ing are good Gymnastics are good Va
rious games Of ball are goodsl Bowling
and billiards are good. And IL is dssira-
Bile that they should be put within the
reach Of those that live by the taxation Of
the brain. The vast multitude Of prcfes-
sional mem lawyers, physicians, teachers.
and above all, ministers Of the Gospel
ought to have an opportunity for cheerful,
exciting, physical exerrisr, -
Itis said that these things tend 10 bring
men into bad society. Ii is not Decesss-
rily so. 1t is true that man may john

that he will be in danger perpetually; bus
he ought not to. join such club, Itis
in the fact, not that yachting is bad bat
that the man makes bad choice. a man

many clubs under moral aud Christian in-
tluences that it shall be the fault of every
young man If he joins bad one.
And that Is true Of almost all athletic
games, of all gymnastic associations, &c
all clubs for ball playing, Of bowling al
'leys. And the time has come when, ifs
man goes to bad place. il is because he
chooses to associate with bad company.
lie may, IL he chooses, go to places that
are not bad. For there are some places
where man may. 90 and play. billiards,
and hot lose his reputation. The time has
come when gentlemen will ljaye this apd

economy; so that they shall not be obiig-
ed to go among professional gamblers TO

In cities, particularly, these athletic
sports furnish almost the only exercise,
aud more men break down and die for
want Of some such relaxation, than are cor
rupted by them even in their worst estates.

infatuation Of most Of its believers. We
have heard Of two cases in which married
people were severely exercised by The rev.
elations of mediums. In one, widow,
who prolessed to be inconsolable for the
loss of her husband, thought that she
would like to bold communications with
the dear departed, and sought a medium
for that purpose. The spirit announced
his appearance, and, after little conver-
sation, was asked if he was happy. Avery
was the prompt reply. Gas happy as when
you we're on ear;hY" "Yes." "Happier?'
"Yes." "To what stage. in the world Of
spirits have you arrived?" IL am in hell" !"
In the other case, wife who was firm

ed tho spirits many questions about her
private family affairs, all Of which were

ton and her hpshsn5's discontinue,

liebiu's Food for Infants.

The sufferings of an infant granchild ol
Professor I.iebig receptly led the great
chemist to investigate the subject of arti.
fetal food for infant children. The child
was pining away, Notwithstanding the care
that was taken in the preparation of arti-
fetal food from COWS milk, to supply thc
PLACE Of the natural food, Of which II vas
unfortunately deprived. During his in
vestigations DR.. Liobig found, FIRST, that
even the best cows milk is slightly acid
while the mothers milk is alkali and the
cows milk contains different proportions
Of constituents. so that to Get the same
noprishmept the child has to take more
aud waste more in order to get enough oI
the one kind Of substance it needs Sec
ond, that most artificial food, however care
fully prepared, is still more acid, and that
the -four is never chemically dissolved, and
that full twenty per cent. of u never Is di-
gestcd, and the whole taxes the digestive
system too severely. Third. that by mix
ing with the soluble parts Of one ounce q
wheat, and one ounce of malt, ten ounces
of milk and sixty drops 0: . solution con-
tanning eleven per cent. OF carbonate OF
poiassa, the nearest possible approach is
made to food containing the nutrtivc
qualities of the mothers milk. lie has
therefore, published tho following prescrip-
tion for the preparation of what he terms
rational food for infants. This is said to
be sweet, pleasant, requiring much less oI
it than of pure milk to satisfy them, while
il pourishes them far better. Il requires
no more sweetening, and should have nonG

the prescription;
