Economical Feeding Of Hogs in Summer
and Early Fall.

Farmers will find great economy in pas
turing their hogs during the summer and
fall. The best pasture is red clover, as it
keeps their bowels in healthy condition
but when that is not grown, any variety of
grass or green food will do. 1t should be
fed once a day on either slop or grain, even
if the quantity is very small, and the feed
ing should be at home, in the regular troughs
in the evening. This has a tendency to
keep up its familiarity with the family in
duces tameness and impresses the idea that
there is no place like home let it remain
there over night, sleep in its own bed and
return to the pasture field the next morn
ing. 1t should have access to water for
drink, and to shade, but not necessarily
water OF mud to wallow in shade is better.
The pasture should be sufficiently good so
that it can fill it.; stomach in a short time
and then lay by in the shade. 1t requires
but little exercise and too much will inter-
fere with its growth and taking on fat. If
it is disposed to root up the soil put ring
in its nose, The Chester Whites" if pro-
perly supplied with food, seldom resort to
roofing.
Hogs treated in this way will thrive and
grow in value at a very trifing expense
The salubrious atmosphere of the field has
4 salutary effect on their health. Give
plenty of salt, either in their food or other
wise. Keep the floor of their sleeping
apartments clean and sprinkle plaster (gyp-

The Drunkard'S Cure.

Some months ago, a gentleman adver-
tiscd that he had discovered sure specific
for the cure of drunkenness. He would
not divulge the secret of what compounds
he used. but furnished the medicine at so
much per bottle. He did not have so many
applicants for cure as he expected, consid-
ering the extent of the disease. In fact,
the more malignant cases did not seem anx-
ious for relief. They rather appeared to
enjoy their malady. \ few, however, placed
themselves under treatment, and some were
cured-whether by taking the medicine or
by not taking any strong drinks, we are
not prepared to say. One of the cured
ones had faith in the medicine, rigidly car
ried out the directions of the DOCTOR and
now has not the least taste for Intoxicating
drinks whereas, one year ago, he was an
inebriate, and could not get along with less
than a pint to quart of whisky per day.
He said that he had, at some trouble and
expense, procured the recipe for the prepar-
alton of the medicine, which he had pub
lishcd for the benefit of suffering humanity
1t is as follows: Sulphate of iron, five
grains peppermint water eleven drachms ;
spirit Of nutmeg, one drachm twice day.
This preparation acts as a tonic and Il slim
ulant and so partially supplies the place
of the accustomed liquor, and prevents
that absolute physical and moral prostra-
ton that follows a sudden breaking off
from the use of stimulating drinks. 1t is
to be taken in quantities equal to an ordi-
nary dram, and as often as the desire for
dram returns. Any druggist can prepare
the prescription.

A Luminous Toe.

A lady correspondent wrote to the BOs-
ton Transcript, that "upon retiring to rest,
the gas being out and the room quite dark,
the writer's attention was directed to her
foot, which was illuminated by light, which
upon examination, was found to be phos-
phorescent, and proceeded from the upper
side Of the fourth toe of the right foot
Upon rubbing it with the hand the light
increased and followed up the foot, the
fumes filling the room with a disagreeable
odor. This lasted some time, when the
foot was immersed in basin of water,
hoping to quench the light, but to no pur-
pose, for it continued beneath the surface
of the water, the fumes rising above. The
foot was taken out and wiped dry, but the
light still remained. A second immersion
of the foot followed and soap applied, with
the same result. No more experiments
were tried and after time it gradually
faded and disappeared. The time occupied
by the phenomenon was about three quar-
tiers Of an hour. The lady's husband sub
stimulates the above facts, as he also wit
messed them. Will some one please explain
the above, as the emitting of phosphorus
from a live body is new to the writer ?''
The whole circumstances of the case 90
to show the presence of phosphorus. We
have noticed like phenomenon, but there
is not the slightest necessity for supposing
that it was "emitted from the live body"

Who is Il Gentleman

A gentleman is not merely person ac-
quaintcd with the forms and etiquette of
life, easy and self possessed in society, able
to speak and act and move in the world
without awlwarlncss, and free from habits
which arc vulgar and in bad taste. \ gen
tlcman is something beyond this &: that
which lies at the root of every Christian
virtue. 1t is the thoughtful desire of doing
in every instance to others as he would that
others should do unto him. He is con-
stantly thinking, not indeed how he may
give pleasure to others for the mere sense
of pleasing. but how he can show respect
to others-how he may avoid hurting their
feelings. When he is in society he Scr,l-
puously ascertains the positions and rela-
lions of every one with whom he comes in
contact, that he may give to each his due
honor, his proper position. He studies how
he can abstain from any illusions which
may call up disagrceable or offensive as
ISOLATION. y gentleamn never alludes to,

ty he is placed. lie never assumes any

In Quiet Days.

The dying year grows strangely mild:
Now in the haZy autumn weather
My heart is like a happy child
And life and |, friends reconciled,
Go over the hills together.
My peaceful days run sweet and still
As waters slipping over sand,
Seeking the shadows of free will
To gather tender lights than fill
Days over-lavish hand.
The summer wood with music rings,
The sinners is q troubled breast;
am no more the bird that sings
But that which broods with folded wings
Upon its quiet nest.
Oh, fairest month of all the year!
Oh, sweetest days in life. they melt:
Within, without, is autumn cheer,
September there, September here,
So tranquil and so sweet.
Oft have I watched all night with grief,
All night with joy, and which is best
All, both were sharp, and both were brief
My heart was like a wind-blown leaf,
| give them both for rest.
Fair Quiet close to JOY allied,
But loving shadicr walks to keep,
By day is ever at my side;
And all night long with me abide
Peace and her sister Sleep.

(Which wuz Postmaster.

GB John w. Forney, in one of his
Occasional " letters to The Press, hits off
the Democratic party in the following man
ner:
The weakness of the Democratic party
consists in the fact that most of its intelli-
gent members are more than half inclined
to be Republicans. General Rosecrans
gave utterance to thoughts at work in mil
lion of other minds. He says, after de-
claring for universal suffrage and against
reputation, that he believes his views care
explicitly or inexplicitly held by three
fourths of our voting population"
What sort of cohesion can there be in
an organization so embarrassed? The lead
ers assert doctrines which the masses doubt
or deny. The South has one platform-the
North another. One side courts the color
ed vote-the other side condemns it, Pen
dleton declares for an unlimited paper cur
rency-Hoifman ignores it. Andrew John
son declares for repudiation-Chase against
it. And if these differences distress the
leaders, what must be the condition of the
rank and file? What intelligent Democrat
will not turn with disgust from warning
counsels and conflicting creeds? An Or
ganiZation to win must be unit in its ac-
ton and in its ideas. The one cannot exist
without the other.
The Republicans have one purpose and
one platform. They are the same in Ar
kansas and in Kansas, the same in Maine
and in Maryland, the same in Connecticut
and i'll California. General Rosecrans is
right. lie revealed the trouble in his own
mind and in doing so echoed the trouble in
many others. To such a pass is q great
party reduced by the refusal of its leaders
to accept the lessons of the times, to recog-
nize the changes i'll society, and to follow
the clear inspiration Of patriotic duty.

Feeding Rack for Sheep.

\ rack OF feeding box of convenient size
for use and for moving, may be made as
follows: For the posts, take piecs of any
good hard wood, 2 by q inches, six in
number; one for each corner, and for the
middle of the sides. For siding and ends,
take boards twelve feet in length, twelve
inches wide for the bottom, and eight
inches for the top. This will give you an
opening of ten inches for the heads of the
sheep if the posts are thirty inches in
length. But they can readily be made
little longer or shorter, according to the
size of the sheep you wish to keep. For
the bottom, take three narrow strips of
board, one at each end, and one in the mid
inches wide, running lengthwise through
the middle. This is for the bottom of tho
trough. Upon each side of this, put in a
board UPON a bevel, extending to the sides
of the box. This will make the bottom
dishing at the sides, and tight, for holding
grain, meal, roots, or any thing else you
wish to give them. This box may be made
with wooden pins, or nails, but the best
fastening is stout screws, about two and
half inches in length. In the moving about,
the boxes are subjected to q considerable
strain, and screws will be found the cheap
est in the end. Such box as this will ac-
commodate about twenty large sheep. 1t
is easily turned over and cleaned without
sweeping and readily put away for the
summer This kind of feeding apparatus
has been in use in this country for at least
forty years, and is, on the whole, the hand
lest continuance we have ever met WITH
1t will pay any man who keeps sheep to
have enough of these made to accommodate
his whole flock. In the common slovenly
way of feeding upon the ground, much
more fodder will be wasted. In the change
of the flock from the pastures to the yards,
care should be taken not to over-feed them
with grain at first. The quantity of meal,
grain or oil cake, may be gradually in
creased from handful up to a pound for
each sheep daily, beyond which quantity it
is not ordinarily profitable or safe to CO.
Too high feeding with meal or oily food
sometimes leads to sudden death, and the
butcher loses his mutton, and you lose
your professionalism 4Stoh Journal.

\ CURE FOR Low SPIRITs.-Exercise for
the body, occupation for the mind these
are the grand constituents of health and
happiness, the cardinal points upon which
everything turns. Motion seems to be
great preserving principle of nature, to
which even inanimate things are subject !;
for the winds, waves, the earth itself, are
restless, and the waving of trees shrubs,
and flowers is known to be an essential part
of their economy. A fixed rule of taking
several hours exercise every day, if posi-
bic, in the open air, if not, under cover
will be almost certain to secure one exemp-
ton from disease, as well as from attacks
of low spirits, ennui-that monster who is
ever waylaying the rich indolent.
"1hroao but a stone, the giant dies"
Low spirits cannot exist in the atmos-
phere of bodily and mental activity.

The Gentleman i'm Church.

The gentleman at church is known by
the following marks:
1. Comes in good season, so rs neither to
interrupt the pastor nor the congregation
by a late ARRIVAL.
2. Does not stop upon the steps or in the
portico, either to gap at the ladies, salute
friends, or display his colloquial powers.
3. Opens and shuts the door gently, and
walks deliberately and lightly up the aisle
or gallery stairs, and gets his seat as quiet
ly, and by making as few persons remove,
as possible.
4. Takes his place either in the back part
of the scat or steps out into the aisle when
any one wishes to pass in, and never thinks
of such thing as making people crowd
past him, willie keeping his place in the
seat.
). Is always attentive to strangers, and
gives up his seat to such; seeking another
for himself
6. Never thinks OF defiling the house of
God with tobacco spittlc, or annoying those
who sit near him by chewing that nauseous
weed in church
:. Never, unless i'll case of illness, gets
up or goes ont during the time of service.
But if necessity compel him to do so, goes
so quietly that his very manner is an apol-
ogy for the act.
s. Does not engage in conversation be-
fore the service.
8. Does not whisper, nor laugh, or cat
fruit in the house of God, or lounge in that
holy place.
10. Does not rush out of the church like
a trampling horse the moment benediction
is pronounced, but rctircs slowly, i'll a
noseless, quiet manner.
II. Does all he can, by precept and ex-
ample, to promote decorum in others, and
is ever ready to lend his aid to discounte-
nance all indccorum in the house of God.

Should you feel inclined to censure
Faults you may in others view,
Ask your own life, e'er you venture,
If that has not failings too.
Let not friendly vows be broken;
Rather strive friend to gain:
Many word in anger spoken
Finds its passage back again.
Do not, then, in idle pleasure,

Guard it us a valued treasure,
Sacred as your own good name.
Do not form opinions blindly,

\ BEAUTIFUL. RETRosPECT.-When the
summer day of youth is slowly wasting
away into the nightfall of age, and the
shadows of the past year grow deeper and
deeper as life wears to close, it is pleasant
to look back through the vistas of time up
on the joys and sorrows of early years. If
we have home to shelter, Or hearts to re-
.ioice with us, and friends who have been
gathering around our tireside, then the
rough places of our wayfarins will be worn
and smoothed away i'll the twilight of life,
while the bright sunny spots we have passed
through will grow brighter and more beau
tiful. Happy, indeed, are those whose in
tercoursc with the world has not changed
the course of their holer feeling, or broken
those musical cords of the heart whose vi
brations are SO mclodious so tender and SO
touching in the evening of age.
