'' An Old Lawyer.
An English paper Gays g The
longevity of great lawyers, and
tieir vitality at an advanced age,
often furnish q theme for wonder !.
and by the speech which he deliv,l
cred in the Hopse OF Peers last
night, Lord st. Ieonards he's add
ed another TO the list of achieve.
ments which we link with the ad.
vanced vears Of such men as Broup
ham and Lyndhurst. Lord ST
Leonards is eigbteight years Of
age. He is old enough to have
some, faint recollections Of the
French Revolution. When the
battle of Waterloo was fought he
was more than thirty years Of age (;
when the first reform bill was pass,
ed he was more than fifty; and by
time tho Corn Laws had been re-
pealed he was already an old man.
He has lived through the reigns Of
the first as well as the third Ma.
poleon. He has seen the admin.
istrations Of Pitt, liverpool, Port
land, Sidmouth, Canning. Grey,
Peel, Russell, Palmerston, Derby.
Disreali, and Gladstone. His mem.
ory extends over nearly the whole
ola most cventful century. And
yet, in spite of his exceptional age,
and of the hard work which he
had to endure when at the bar, he
last night spoke for fifty-five min
utes. His voice, IL is true, was
low, and his articulation somewhat
indistiDct, but he exhibited flashes
Of Ids old FIRE and vigor. The sub
ject of his speech was q protest
against the design lof the govern.

The p PARsNIp.-The aparsnip is
one OF the most valuable roots that
grow. In the island of Jersey Il
is used almost exclusively for fat
tening both cattle and swine. Ac.
cording to LeCoBteur, the weight
i of q good crop varies from thirteen
to twenty-seven~ tons per acre.
When parsnips are given to mich
cows, with q little hay, in winter
season, the butter is fonnd to be Of
as fne. color and excellent flavor
as when the animals are feeding in
| the best .pasturage. As parsnips
contain six per cent. more mucilage
than carrots, the difference may be
sufficient to account for the snpe-
rior fattening as well as bntfer.
making qualities of the parsnip.
In the fattening of cattle the pare
nipis found superior to the carrot,
performing the business with more
! expedition, and affording meat Of
exquisite and juicy favor; the an.
i imals eat it'wi,h much greediness
1 The result Of experiment shows
that not only in neat cattle, but in
the fattening of hogs and poultry,
the animals become fat much soon,
er, and are more healthy than when
fed with any other root or; yegeta
j BILE, and that. besides, the meat il
more sweet and deiicious. The
parsnip leaves being more bulky
than those of the carrot, may. be
mown of before taking the roots
and given to oxen, cows or horses
by which they viii be- greedily eat
en- Another thing in favor of the
! parsnip for this country, Is that the
frost does not injure them. They
may remain in the ground ,unti
spring, when they make splendid
feed, at o time when every other
kind of root or anything green j,
scarce Or, they may be slightly
buried, where they can be obtain
ed almost any time during Tho
! winter. sffs-pi .asAs~ sSss4dsg 80 r.ss
