Somewhere and at different times We

pie Of years ago we CHANGED again to
come across these, and fancying we
would publish all three together, we
have saved them in hopes of finding
the other--but i'm vain; the Upper Dog
would not again appear. At last hav-
ing an idea that our friend David Bar

the main barker was the author Of one
or more of these, we wrote asking Of

years ago, when. as member Of the

others, was jogging along towards
kendail's Mills. Me-. to institute new
Lodge there. noticed dog fight in
the quiet village Of Newport.-Grand
Master Chase, who was in the sleigh
with me. made the inquiry. which dog
in that fight went in for.-the upper
or under dog? From that idea | imme-
diately wrote the stanzas, The Under
Dog in the fight" which have been
copied so much since. The parodies,
The Upper Dog in the Fight" The
Outside Dog in the Fight" and The
Dog that Won't Fight at all" appeared
soon after; but l do not know who
wrote them. and have no copy of
them now The under Dog has been
so altered since it first went out from

PERMANENT FARMING There
are two kinds OF farming very opposite
in their character and result. The
one kind, is farming tor to-day, the
other is farming for the future. The
one. contemplates getting out of the
soil all il will produce and giving back
nothing in return, and carries the same
false system OF economy through
every department Of labor and hus-
bandry. Under this mistaken system
inadequate buildings are provided tor
the storing Of crops and the housing
Of cattle. insufficient fences mark the
enclosure of fields in which roam herds

hands command too high wages; AMI
in word, the farm is so managed, or
rather. mismanaged, that instead of
being home to rejoice the heart OF
the family, it is only an abiding place.
producing scarcely ameagrc liveli-
hood On the contrary. under the
system Of farming for the future, the
farmer ploughs, and plants, and ma
nures, with an eye to the permanent
and constant improvement OF his farm
and all Its adjuncts, and as a matter
Of course. to the improvement of his
own fortune. His farmhouse is a
model of neatness, comfort, and con-
venience his buildings are Of am
pie dimentions, and nicely arranged
for storing his crops and housing his
cattle. His barn-yard is so arranged
as to collect, return, and utilize the
juices Of the manure. His fields are
divided into suitable sizes, by high
and strong fences-and last, but not
least, his land is so titled that every
year brings him larger crops, and in
creased te.tility, while his family,
accustomed to thrift and management,
learn to practice and appreciate the
value Of system of doing things by
rule every thing in its proper time,
and thoroughly done.
These two pictures are briefly
presented a. the result Of the two sys-
tens named above.
