high prices, they will gradually give up
dairyiug and work into sheep, with the
expectation of making their fortunes
Ii wool aud mutton raising does not pay,
they sell their focks at great sacrifice
If hops are sixty cents pound, they,
invest in hop poles aud kilns for drying,
and expect sudden wealth. If when
in their yards, some in full bearing, the
prices fall off one half or more, they are
disgustcd, and ready to blow up their
yards. concluding the business will not
pay. There are men who are taking up
good thing little too late to make
money by it. The farmer cannot afford
this continual change. His business is
less speculative than any other. aud, at.
ter providing for the wants of his family
aud stock, he should give his attention
merely TO the production of few animals,
crops, or other products, on which he can
rely to raise money. Any branch OF
farm industry, steadily followed, will be
found profitable. Dairying, in a year OF
short grass, might not pay we'll. But
the years of drought are exceptions, and

MIXED RAcEs.-The principle is laid
down by many scientific men that crosses,
between distinct species prove inferior,
and either are infertile, as in the familiar
cases of the mule, or degenerate and dis
appear in limited number of generations;
while, in the case of mere varieties, the.
crossing produces progeny vitally supe-,
rior to either progenitol. 1t will be read
lily seen what would be the bearing of,
such law on the question of the unity,
of the human race. Ii the races of men
are separate species, mongrel races ought
to degenerate while they ought to be
hardy and potent if of single species
Agassiz, in his Journey in Brazil, strongly
asserts that the numerous mongrel races
between Spaniards, negroes, and Indians.
are far inferior in intelligence and moral
qualities to the pure races. The same is
asserted BY Darwin, who quotes Humboldt
to the same effect. DR.. Livingston quotes
a common saying in Africa, that ''God
made white men and negroes, but the
Devil made halfcasts. ."-Independent,

ROAD Laws AND MANNERS.

1t is commonly said that every one has
a right to half the road. This is practi-
Ically true, and comes about in this wise.
You and meet upon the road-our legal
rights are exactly equal and both have
right to go several ways without obstruc.
ton 30, popularly we say own half and
you half. The law steps in to facilitate
matters, aud directs each to turn towards
his right hand. This Is true whatever
the load or the team; for if one can drive
such team that another can pass him but
with difficulty, If at all, their rights are
no longer equal, This point becomes very
important in winter, for it is no joke to
turn your horse and all into the deep
snow, while your Deihgbor goes smoothly
along in the beaten path. No one has
right so to load his team as not to be able
to give up half the track to whoever de-
mands it.
A footman may choose the part which
pleases him or any portion of his right
hand half Of the way, and the team must
yield it to him. This is clearly 80 in
winter, and no man is obliged to go in the
snow for one or two horses. This is Law,
and the court awards i.
The first requirement of the road mau-
ners is good nature, and an accommoda-
ting spirit. Do to others as you would
have them do to you. Always be will
ing to yield more than half the space,
then you will be pretty sure to be equally
well treated. They who exact inches
will have inches exacted Of them. If
your neighbor has heavy load, consult
his convenience as far as possible; you may
sometimes be loaded. 1t has become
practical rule Of courtesy to turn for
heavy teams, especially in winter, and
when the roads are heavy. But remem-
Der it was favor, not your right, and
you have reciprocal duty to perform,
and one which, / am sorry to observe, is
not always borne in mind.
| When team comes up behind you,
that team has q right to a reasonable
space and opportunity to pass on-in fact,
to half the road for that purpose-and
your obstructipg him 10 his lawful desire
is both bad manners and bad law. IF
your load ia heavy, do the Dest you can.
In most cases the very least that can be
asked is that you should stop. This is
particular y SO in the winter, when it is
heavy tax on team to force it into trot
in deep snow, or deep mud, or frozen or
ruts-made necessary By your continuing
to move on.-Northcestern PresbytcTidn.

transported over the Louisville & New

set rumor afoat that a large delegation

tain hour. Rumor increasing as it few,
said that many eminent speakers we're

panied the expedition. Immense crowds
of enthusiastic Grant men repaired to the

Of gratitude, which is nothing but a duty
this virtue, this duty, are inherent in the
dog. We brand ingratitude, and yet all
men are ungrateful. 1t is vice which
commences in the cradle, and grows with

comes almost always the grand mover OF
human actions. The dog knows the
word virtue; that which We dignity by

and from the first moment he adopts you
as his master, you will find in him all
these qualities. He will love you with.
out calculation entering into his affec.
ton. His greatest happiness will be to
be near you; and should you be reduced
to beg your bread, not only will he aid
you in this difficult trade, but he would
not abandon you to follow even king In
to his palace. Your friends will quit you
in misfortune your wife perhaps will
forget her plighted troth; but your dog
will remain always near you. or if you
depart before him on the great voyage,
ne will accompany you to your last

and sometimes more, used freely Of milk

The butter used, they think, was not less
than four pounds week, making the

Their food consisted of meadow grass
