FATTENING PoULTRY--The London
Field states that poultry, properly fed, will
acquire all the fairness needful for market
ing purposes, in fortnight or three week,
at most. Their diet should be Indian, oat
or barley meal, scalded in milk or water
the former is the best, rs it will expedite
the fattening process. They should be fed
early in the morning, at noon, and also in
the evening just before going to roost. a
plentiful supply of pure fresh water -plen-
~ of gravel, sliced cabbage or turnip tops.
If the fowls arc required to be very fat,
some trimmings of fresh mutton suct may
be chopped up and scalded with their 9TH
err feed, or they may be boiled in milk alone
and poured over the meal. This renders
the flesh firmer than it otherwise would be,
When fit to kill, feeding should be stopped
for twelve hours or more, that the intes-
tines may become comparatively empty.

The clouds in many a windy rack
Are sailing East and West,
And sober suns are bringing back
The days love the best.
The poet, rs he will, may go
To Summer golden prime,
And set the roses in row
Along MS fragrant rhyme
But rs for me, sing the praise
OF fading flowers and trees,
For to my mind the sweetest days
OF all the year are these.
When stubbly hills aud hay skie,
Proclaim the harvest done,
And Labor wipes his brow, and lies
A-drenming in the sun
And idly hangs The s.,il,ron
Her broken silver stair,
And ghosts Of thistlcs, dead and gone,
Slide slow along the air
Where Nil is STILL unless pcrhap.
The cricket makes ado,
Or when the dry-billed heron snaps
Some brittle reed in two
Or sho0l-boy trnmples through tho burs
His tangled path TO keep,
Or ripe-mast, rustliug downward, stirs
The shadows from ;hcir sleep.

SENATOR DRAKE.

The debate In tho United States sen
ate has been quite spicy, which natu.
rally attracted an immense audience.
The new Senator from Missouri, Mr..
Drake, offered All Amendment To the
Supplement Reconstruction Bill, pro-
,iding that in all elections in the South
under II The voting should be by ballot
instead of rird aOcc. This Is right.
The South have always lorded il over
poor men by watching the polls 10
overawe them. No tyranical slave
holder has any right To cali in qucs-
ton the right, or know how poor men
vote. We say If the members of the
United States Senate votes this amend
ment down they will do very wrong.
They will destroy the safeg uard for the
protection of the poor Iuan.

Under tbs head VIC publish an ar
ticle ON the first page, which purports
to be in answer to little article OF
ours two weeks ago. The writer
thinks we are not placing very high
estimate upon the intelligence of the
people when we said these discussions
resulted In no good, but always in
harm: that the result was sectarianism,
and heart-burnings among the MEM
bership of the different branches of
the Christian church. Our experience
has fully demonstrated the truth of
this assertion. When discussions
were more common than nov n ser
mon could scarcely he preached W tn
out pitching into the doctrines Of 9TH
er branches Of the church; anu the ef-
feet produced by these differences and
sectarian jealousies, was infidelity on
the part Of outsiders. The universal
remark from this class was, How these
protested Christians quarrel. Indeed,
there was almost As bad state Of feel
ing between the membership Of the
various branches Of the church a there
Is now between the political parties.
Paul condemn these controversies;
and in referring 10 the result, he says,
"some are for Paul, some for Appollas,
some for Cephas none agree.
We have no objections TO ministers
preaching their peculiar doctrines on
human destiny, or upon any other
subject; but in doing this we think the
passions should not be stirred UP.
We think our estimate upon the
intelligence OF our people is higher
than that placed upon them by Vim
