A SEASONABLE POEM.

And jest and laugh ring out The day Is gone,
Morn brings new work; betimes the master
goes
And from n monster cuts the juciest rib
To grace the breakfast: honorod custom this,
Long may IT last. Now tables spread are piled
By slow degrees with sausage meat, and fat
To "try" for lard. Soon pots and boilers steam
And jars and firkips stand prepared to hold
The clear, transparent fluid; while within
The vaulted cellar, slabs aud blocks of meat
Are packed in barrels to await the brine.
Now bring the pepper, salt, and sage,
The sausage meat will all engage;
One turns the cutter, others feed,
Some mix, It's merry work indeed.
See, here's a tub full, but too coarse,
Twill never do; we must perforce
Run through again, and then we'll fry
A scrap the seasoning to try.
Now Betsy stands with twinkling eyes
otis right, just right" she eager cries.
We taste, assent, and quickly bring
The suffer to the expectant ring,
Into the tub great ropes of sausage fall
With sayory promise of feast for all.
My poem grows too long. l fain would tell
How hogshead cheese, and souse, and scrapplc
blend
Their spicy odors with the roasting chine,
Or toolhsome spare-rib; but must pass them
by.
One thing remains to tell the kitchen cleaned,
Pots, kettles, tubs in place, the work is done;
But once again we gather round the stove
To fry the doughnuts; while the fresh sweet
lard
Is heating fast, we roll the soft, light dough,
And cut in various shapes then quickly drop,
And soon the laugh goes round, as stubborn
things,
They putting up, resist the turning fork,
Or from the dripping pan a"doll-cake's" taken
And rolled in sugar for the masters tooth.
So ends the heavy work, for work tbs,
Though lightened by the joke, and jest, and
laugh,
And bringing good results; may all who read
Know these st least; not from my humble
rhyme
But from experience, and they'll surely join
With me in saying that her teachings best.
Port Penn, Del. Dec.

0fneighboring helpers, while the frosty ground
comes on.
The water heated by the kissing stones
Steams like a witch's cauldron. Now the work
For which these preparations, win begin.
See yonder pen, well shielded aud arranged
Where fos long weeks the "Chester whites"
have grown
And growing thrived, and thriving fattened
too,
TILL of proportions vast, their slender legs
Scarce bear their ponderous weight They
stagger up
When food is brought, and lettering sway
along
Their massive frames with in6n lite toll and pain,
And with choking grunt sink to repose again.
These are the victims. As the sky grows bright
And life awakens, one is slowly led,
Making but poor resistance, to his doom,
A sudden 50 ne al, smothered groan is all
To tel the story of an ended life
Accomplishing by that one act the end
For which it was designed. The carcass vast
Is scalded well, and soon the scrapers' knives
Scatter the bristles round; the gallows now
Receives it, and as bright the sun appears
The call to breakfast comes is quickly obeyed,
And then the work goes on. The kitchen too,
Presents an active scene; the household work
Is hurried through, or laid entirely by
As of small moment on day like this.
withered crone is here, who ne'er has failed
To give her aid these forty long, long years;
A generation gone. and still she comes
To the young masters home. Nor useless she,
Though age has dimmed her eye, and sorely
dulled
Her once sharp ear the little she can do
Is valued still; and as each year may be
Her last with US, we tenderly regard
Her failing powers.
Tub after tub well filled,
But odorous not Of " Araby the blest,"
Is brought and empticd: hurrying hands are
there
Doing unpleasant work, ere evening comes
The worst is done, and merrily go forth
The kitchen force, to watch the varying
weights
OF monster swine; and then with joke and gibe
Each tests their own increase or loss of size.

THE MARYLAND
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
ALL POLICIES NoNFoRFEITABLE
Dipidends annually after The first Year
OF BALTIMORE, NO, 10 SOUTH ST.

Dipidends Annually after he first Year.
rI,IiE adyan lnges Of Life Insurance are so
manifold and manifest that general inquiry
i made concerning IL. All good men WISH 10
provide for those dependant upon them r ~,
vision 10 be certain must be immediate. The
only immediate provision is by Life Insurance.
A great and important question is, where shall
| insure Reason, sell-respect, seli-interest,
the laws of trade and commerce that govern
thrifty and Intelligent people indicate that
man should insure at home, where ne hFes,
makes his money, pays his taxes and expects
to leave his property and his family rs
humiliating as II Is ruinous for us to send mill
lions Of dollars out of our State annually for
Life Insurance that should be kept at home;
Money in Maryland is scarce, interest high, and
property low, because we are sending so much
Of il away. There is certainly no necessity
for this, because equal intelligence and equal
morals will make Savings Banks, Life and FIRE
chants, or any thing else, here equal to those in
other States. II is an axiom that in all kinds
of business danger, difficulty and loss increases
In ratio of distance. Recent experience proves
clearly that IL Is safer aud better in both Life
and Fire to be insured at home. Ii Is poor
compliment to ourCitizens and State and in
bad taste to depreciate our own institutions
and indirectly depreciate those who control
them.
Fortunately for our State prosperity, the
people are beginning TO see this. Our last
January report to the Comptroller OF the
State was so satisfactory and gratifying rs to
call forth editorial Communications from the
principal papers in Baltimore.
Few companies are in as good condition ms
the Maryland, and as 1t is ours and keeps the
capital in our own State deserves your coop
GRAFTON and patronage. In matter Of so greal
Importance persons should inform themselves
well before they act

A Dutchman's Remedy.


The family Of Datchman in Iowa,
having frequent occasion to employ a
physician, the head of the family became
quite familiar with the form Of writing
prescriptions. The doctor was one Of
those mixtures Of farmer, stock raiser,
aud physician, not uncommon il tho
country, but exercising very little care
in the management Of his cattle, which
told wonderfully against his pecuuiary
interests, while the Dutchman's herd
being well fed and well housed. was in
very fine condition. The doctor was
not slow in observing the difference. and
suggested to the farmer that he thought
something was the matter with his cat.

tell him what to do for them. The
