H~nA Night !

Good Night
O swee nv love, the hour rd is i sto,s
The moon goes d Watch "a and wait.
AZ from shss S ny lips m asp sweet
The house is still, but DER the gloom,
or sfar-ht gardens, faint with bloum,
I lean out from my darkened room,
And only hear the roaming breeze
More softly in the lilac trees.
Somewh here beneath these gracious skies
My bOnny love a-dreaming lies,
With slumber brooding In her eyes,
Go seek her, happy wind so tree,
And kiss her folded hands for me.
Across this dome of silent air.
On ties of floating ether bear,
10 where she sleeps, my whispered prayer;
TIE day has brought the night forlcrn-
God keeps thee, little love, till dawn.

MISCELLANEOUS.

CROSSING BaEEDs.-A communica-
ton entitled Crossing Of Distinct
Breeds of Animals in a recent num-
Der Of your paper, suggests an inquiry,
moi wholly original with me, which L
would like to see answered, by some
one capable Of doing SO, in the columns
of your paper, and which is this /:
Can, bry crossing distinct breeds of ami
nah Of the same species, a type be
produced Ia CROSS which will possess
the power to perpetuate itself? De-
o Attorneys, etc, when crossed,
produce a mongrel, with some Of the
distinct characteristics of both breeds.
The next generation may have but lit
tie of one or more of the other, and G
ceediug generations go entirely back
to one or the other Of the original
breeds; ~ =.
Can.there be a cross between animals
of different species and, breeds, Or be-
tween the different races Of men, which
will have vitality sufficient to perpetu-
ate the cross thus produced T / think
not; they will go back to the breed or
race which possesses the most vitality.
This does not conflict with the idea of
Improvement in the breeds Of animals
by a iudicious selection of those possess
ing the most perfect form and best quail
ty, or the improvement of the different
races of men by mental culture and a
better knowledge and application Of the
laws of physiology and health
The proper solution of this question
is one Of great importance to breeders.
If it be true that crosses cannot perpet-
nate themselves, it is evident that the
attention of breeders should be directed,
not to the production of new types, but
to the Improvement of those already
existing, by a careful selection of those
from which we breed.
1t is also a question of vital impor-
lance to this country at this time, and
should be duly considered in settling
the subject of immigration to this u
try from Asia, which may be SO over
whelming as to entirely charge the
character of our people, Cor. Practi-
cal Farmer.

LroE ON HoGs,-A correspondent of
the R9ral New Yorker says. The
past five years I have used the following
remedy, which will clean off the lice in
two days.: Put about one gill Of kero-
e n oil Id any old dish, and with a
paint brush Or old WOODEN rag rub the
oil up and down the back Of the animal
and behind the fore legs and on the
flank. Be particular about the last two
places, for it is where the lice deposit
their eggs, which, if not destroyed, will
hatch out in about FIVE days. If it be a
black hog, these eggs can be plainly
seen, being about the size Of timothy
seed and lying close to the skin fast to
the hair. No one need fear to use the
oil freely, as it will not injure the hog
in the least. Hot water will not kill
these lice, fer I have seer them crawl
after the hog had been scaIded In a
barrel after being butcherea
