heaven knows-if indeed a
creature may be dignified by
the name Of Man, who can only
be so called in the sense of his
beng a few degrees higher
than the beasts of the field, and
many lower than angels. Yet
this poor soul was not without
his ambition. His highest aim
has been to attain the rank Of
cObbler; he could con ceive no
greater happiness, and his de.
sire was fulfilled. In the ser,
vice of7a harsh, parsimonious
master, in adark back room, he
cobbled, and wac content; but
he was doomed to lose even
this small qualification. His
eyesight gradually failed, and
be was compelled to give up
work. He yielded not only
without a murmur, but with
cheerfulness, being accustomed
to receive thankfully, but to
ask nothing. A few small
shopkeepers, out of compassion,
employed him on errands, and
by this means he picked up a
livelihood. In such circum-
stances it is difficult to per-
ceive any room for happiness
any 'loop.hole through which
hope, comfort, or Joy could en-.
ter. The poor cripple seemed
to have no heritage in the de,
lights of a beautiful world.
Yet to the very lowest there is
always aheaven at hand.
One bitter cold night he was
returning home. As he passed
under an archway he saw a
child seated upon a step, her
eyes closed, her face and hands
blue with cold. He bent over
her. For the first time in his
life, he recognized a link be.
tween himself and a fellow.
creature. She also was cold,
poor, and lonely. They we're
equally miserable. Seized by
a sudden impulse, he } lifted
her in his arms, and carried
her through the streets to
his wretched garret. Then
taking off his coat, he wrapped
heg in it, and commenced rub
bingthe icy hands and feet
After some time the child
opened her eyes, and from that
moment the strong bond be
tween them was sealed-forsver
She never left him. He
soon lavished upon her all the
devotion of an undying nature
In return, the poor little hea
then, who had never entered a
church In her life, thought
nothing on earth so worshipfu
as Tom, and adored no other
Deity. A new life had dawnet
upon them both, a great mine
of wealth had been opened
] They were no loRger poor
lonely, desolate. Call it infat-
uation, or what you will, it wa'
a wonderful power which coult
thus transform want into plenty
cold into warmth, comiortless
ness into luxury-one Of those
few inexplicable powers which
combat and conquer death.
4 1t can now be understood
what was the old mans despair
when the postmistress sent to-
him and proposed to adopt The
child. She had taken a fancy
to- the little thing, and hav'
ing learnt the destitute condi
tion, in which the two lived
never doubted her charitable
offer would be thankfully ac'
cepted. The old man could
not rejoice. He hastenet

UTILIZATION OF WASTE DAIRY PRODUCTS


Until very recently the hog has been al
most the only medium by which the dairy
man has converted the waste products of the
churn and cheese vat, into substances of COM
mercial value. This animal, whose propensity
for wallowing in the mire is well known, and
whose uncleauly habits are proverbial, is for
tunately possessed of an appetite for less
dainty food than most creatures. He is not
only the scaveDger of the farm, hut the con
verter of waste articles into those Of real
worth There are, however, grave objections
to keeping in the vicinity of cheese or but
ter factory sufficiently large number Of
hogs to eat the great amount of whey and
skim milk which is produced. Cleanleness
in everything, air included, is an essential
condition TO making prime butter and cheese;
and, as we all know, cleanliness is almost
incompatible with the pig stye. We cannot
prevent milk from absorbing odors ; and II
the stencil of the hog yard and not the frag-
rance of clover blossoms abounds, our but
ter and cheese viii suffer in consequence.
Apart from the fact that swine are useful
to convert into food substances that would
otherwise go to waste, question II it would
be economical for dairymen to keep them,
at least in large numbers. We are north OF
the latitude in which hogs are most profit
