WELCOME TO WAR.

hit peace or war, better, war! loud war by
land and by sea,
EsT with a thousand battles, and shaking q
bandred thrones,
Ter i trust II An enemy1s neet came yonder
round by the hill,
Aps the rushing battIe-bolt sang from the three
decker out OF the fOam-
That the smooth faced. snub-nOSed rogue
would leap from his counter and till,
And strike. II he could, were il but with his
cheating ysrd-vand, home.
Jrake 70 the higher aims of a land that has los,
for little her lust OF gold,
And love OF peace that was full OF wrongs
and shames,
0sITibe. hateful, monstrous, not 10 be told;
Ass hail once more 10 the banners Of battle UNI
rOlled
1hssgh many a light shall darken, and many
shall weep
For those that are crushed TO death in the clash
OF Earring arms,
Yst Gods just wrath shall be wreaked on a
giant liar;
And many a darkness into the light shall leap,
And shine in the sudden making of splendid
names,
And noble thought he freer under the SIM,
And the heart OF a people beat with one desire;
Fer the peace, that deemed no peace, is over
and done;
And now by the side OF the Black and the Baltic
deep.
And eathful-grinning mouths OF the fortress,
flames
Tie bIood-red blossom OF war with heat of fire.

The present is one of the most unfavor able
seasons for growing celery, owing to the pro-
longed drought, that we ever remember, and
the consequence is that it is ehort and poor
everywhere. 1t Is true that it has a couple of
weeks Vet to grow unless the weather shou Id
become unusually cold and continue dry. But
such as the crop may be, 1t is important that it
should be saved and put away in the best man
ner. 1t frequently does not keep well on ac-
count OF the way in which il is stored. Some
times ID withers, but oftener 1t rots. 1t is rec
commended by some that 1t should be preserved
In the rows where 1t grows, and that removal
always more or less Injuries it. This is partially
correct: Where the plant is grown in soil of a
rather dry nature, il may be kept well enough
In the row, especially up to the first of Feb
ruary; but We have never discovered that re-
moval Injuries it in the slightest degree.
We pursue two modes and find both to answer
well. The first Is 70 remove the celery to high
and dry ground, dig Q straight trench spade
deep, stand up a row OF plants singiy then three
inches Of soil, then another row, and so on until
mence another bed, and 80 on. The soil should
be packed in firmly and banked up, so that the
tops OF the celery are Just covered, then spank
ON rool,fashion to turn tho rain. Over this two
white boards, nailed together, should be
placed, as q security against moisture, or straw
can be bent over and secured at the bottom
With bean.poles. Celery put away thus care
fully, ought to keep till May. For remember, Il
as ardter, not frost, some sag, that rots cs.ery
Frost adds to its tenderness.
Another plan IL to sink barrels into the earth
SO that the tops are two or three inches below
the surface, then stand them compactly full Of
celery. without any SOIL put tight covers upon
them, 50 as TO exclude all moisture, and then a
couple OF inches OF soil. Bv this mode, some
which we adopt tor only portion of the crop, il
was kept well for the last four or i've years until
sllwas consumed, which wsA late in the spring.

We cut the following from one of our foreign
exchanges:
The reputation Of the Hampshire bacon is
owing entirely to the care with which it is cured.
The hogs, which are fatted on peas and barley
meal, are kept fasting for twenty-four hours at
least before they are killed; they are used a.
gently as possible in the act of killing, which Is
done by inserting long-pointed knife into the

hung up after the entrails have been removed,
and the next day, when the meat has become
quite cold IL 10 cut up into nitches. The spare e.
ribs are taken out and the bloody veins carefully
with small quantity Of saltpetre mixed with
IT. Sometimes a little brown sugar is added
which gives pleasant sweetness to the bacon
The fitches are laid on q low wooden table,
which has small raised border all round H.
The table slants a little, 30 as to let the brine

bitches are turned and salted every day; those
which are upperm0st are put under, and
IN three weeks they are ready to be hung
up TO dry. Smoking the bacon is no longer 50
common as II used to be, as simply drying

The nervous system Of sheep is comparatively
feeble, and We find that though not exempt
nearly always of facilitating character, such
as palsy; and those Of irritation, as tetanus,
spssms, &e., are extremely rare. Thus we find
that most of the severe diseases OF the sheep are
distinguished by want In tone, and in gensr al
this animal quickly sinks under the attack of
morbid agents. The digestive apparatus forms
so very important and pre-eminent a feature in
the animal economy Of sheep. consisting as il
does of a variety OF complex parts for the eIab-
Grafton Of the food, which do not exist in any
other animals, that we cannot be surprised that
It's organs should be those most susceptible to
dsease. Accordingly We find that such Is the
case-that the diseases of the digestive organs
are frequent, and both Of a mechanical and
chemical nature. We have both these arising
ment, from its too great dryness or too great
moisture, from its being too young and Iuru-
rant, or from being too old and withered, from
containing unwholesome or poisonous prinei-
pies, or the minute and invisible eggs of innu-
merable insects. Thus We find that diseases
connected with the digestive organs are more
numerous or more frequent than all the others
TO which sheep are liable.
Sheep are exposed throughout the year 10 the
vicissitudes OF the weather, from the effects of
which they are in great measure protected
by their woolly coverings; but standing some
times on a cold and wet soil, ana anon on dry
and warm surface, they are subject to the In
juries arising from these alterations, from the
effects Of standing for a long time on q vet sur
face, and the reaction which afterwards sue
ceeds from evaporation; diseases Of the feet are
therefore not unfrequent. Again, from the
same exposure they are subject to the attack of
flies and other vermin, which, particularly in
the summer months, prove a source OF great
annoyance, and require constant vigilance on
the part OF the shepherd. To these morbid
causes may be added the circumstance of sheep
being kept together often in large fiocks, and
thus more exposed TO the influence Of infectious
diseases than animals that are kept in a more
isolated state.
Such are the principal circumstances to which
useful to keep in mind the nature Of these
causes, and the peculiarites and constitutional
idiosyncrasies OF these animals, when treating
them for their different diseases.

RAIL ROAD.
Positively the last rail road meeting
will be hell at the Town School
House, on Saturday, December oath,
at 10 o'clock, A. NJ. The stock must
be raised by that time or our project
will have to be abandoned. Those
who have not as yet taken any stock,
and those who have not taken enough,
@illyet have a chance to do what is lib
eral. Forget the almighty dollar; do
not screen yourselves behind paitry
excuses; let not your more public
spirited neighborhoOd build up your
wealth and increase the value of your
broad acres. It is true every commu-
nifty must have its drones, but in this
natter there are too many. Where
loes the interested rea ier, living on
the line, stand. 1t depends upon you
who have done nothing to decide the
'ailroad question. Should the pro-
iect fail for want of stock, those who
could have taken and would not will
ave to bear the blame, and in the fu-
oure will be, as some one suggests,
marked men.
A verdant pair were married by the
magistrate in town, at 2 o'clock on
Sunday morning-fee-a peck of corn.
It appears the verdant one put in his
appearance without the necessary
document, was ordered to headquar-

and it was duly forthcoming. The
lappy pair, unable to read and think

ness being necessary, one was found,
but could only be induced to witness
the ceremony by promise of half of
the corn.
