Never Again.

There is touch of pathos about doing
even the simplest thing for the last time.
1t is not alone kissing the lips of the dead
that gives you this strange pain. You
feel it when you look your last upon some
scene which you have loved-when you
stand in some quiet street where yon know
you will never stand again, unless indeed,
you come back some day to the old
"haunts," and wander among them an
unwelcOmc ghost.
The actor playing his part for the last
time-the singer whose voice is cracked
hopeessly, and who alter this once will
never stand before the sea Of upturned
faces, disputing the plaudits with fresher
and tairer forms-the clergyman who has
preached his last sermon-these all know
the hidden bitterness of ''nevcr again"
How they come to us on birthdays rs
we grow older! Never again young
always nearer and nearer to the very last
the end which is universal, the "last
thing" which shall follow all the other
last things, and turn them, let us hope,
from pains to joys.
We put away on" boyish toys, with an
odd heart-ache. We were too old to walk
any longer on our stits-too tall to play
marbles on the pavement. Yet there was
a pang when we thought we had played
with our merry mates for the last time.
and life's serious, grown-up work was
waiting for us.
Now we do not want the lost toys back.
Life has other and larger playthings for
us. May it not be that these, too, shall
seem in the light of some far-off day as
the boyish games seem to our manhood,
and we shall learn that death is but the
opening of gate into the new land of
| promise ?

Ingenious Contrivance for Swindinq
Farmers.

An Interesting Investigation took place
at the Gazette office, a few days since, being
no less than the dissection of the sample
stalks Of Iudson Branching Corn, which
had been sold by the agent operating at this
point.
1t was rum0red some days previous that
there had been fraud aud deceit practced
in the branching corn business, i'm the manu-
lacture of sample stalks bearing four, five
and six full-9rOWn ears. These samples
were sold by Mr.. Judson at enormous fig

packages of corn, and the wonderful stalks

and several of the wonderful stalkS-paying
as high as twenty-five dollars each for the
latter.
The crash came at last. Judson was ar

The Value of Pumpkins.

Last year | raised twenty ox-loads Of
pumpkins with corn from an acre. The
cart would hold forty bushels Of potatoes.
| consider them valuable feed for stock,
taking into consideration how cheaply they
can be raised. I undertook to dry in my
apple dry-h0usc some for market, and was
offered Ave cents per pound. l found that
green pumpkin, weighing from fifteen to
twenty pounds, would make one pound of
wel.-dresscd dry pumpkin, and that it would
pay better to dry them for hogs Gas it could
be done very cheap than it would to sell.
| soaked the dry pumpkin in milk and fed
the same to the hogs-they gained fast.
also dried quite an amount and barreled it
to feed them this summer. ! fed my sheep
upon the green ones two months, and it did
very much toward fattening forty which
sold for mutton, and the forty which
wintcrcd never did better. | commenced
to feed my cattle in September, and fec
some every day until February. 1t saved
a vast amount of feed. / am planting but
a small piece of corn, and wish to raise 6
large amount of pumpkins, SO plant them
with my Early Rose potatoes their tops
die early, which will let in the sun and give

Feeding Turkeys.

The Poultry World, in an article OH tur-
keys, has this in relation to feeding:
"rhe practice of most farmers who raise
turkeys is not to feed them at all after the
young birds are six or eight weeks Old.
They are driven off to the pasture or woods
carly in the morning, and get their living
whore they can find it. Their chief food is
graSshoppers and other insects, and they
do the pastures and meadows a great ser
vice in keeping under these destructive
creatures. This may be well enough where
insects and mast are plenty, but upon many
farms the range of woodland is exceedingly
limited, and the growth of the birds will
not be satisfactory without food from the
corn crib. They should come to the roost
every night with full crops, and if on ex-
animation this is not found to be the case,
they shond be regularly fed once q day at
least. There is no danger of fattening 4
young turkey on a good range in six
months. With hrst-claSs stock, full feed
will make q difference of four 10 five pounds
in the weight of the birds at Thanksgiving.
Turkeys like variety Of food though they
do very we'll upon corn, which they never
refuse while in health. They are very fond
of mash of boiled potatoes and Indian
meal, and thrive admirably upon it. What
ever the provender, it should be fed regu-
larly, and the birds kept thriving from the
shell to the butchers block"

1 TO the Editor Of the AVGnt Courier:
SIR: Though it may appear to some, that
DIR. Lamme's abusive article OF last week de-
mands reply from me, decide, though it
could be answered to his discontinue, to
leave him all the advantage he may fancy he
gains from my refusal to be any longer par
ty to his controversy.
| / will only say, that he himself correctly
estimates the value Of any '.notoriety'' to re-
suit from connec ton with hint .oould be
sscheapn indeed.
AS an awful warning to any ambitious man
| who may in the future so far forget himself
both the Doctor and the public may see what
kind Of notoriety necessarily attaches to
anyone who is merely suspected by A..
Lamme only of following in his wake, APP
pend hereto an elegant and gentlemanly ex-
tract from the Montanian Of the 25th inst.
DR.. Lamme. in communication to the
Courier gives the carpet-bag contractor, who
attempted to run Gallatin county some time
since. d dose that is not mentioned In the Ma
terra Medica, though we think twill affect
him equal to Vinegar Bitters. DIR. Lamme is
one of the most substantial, enterprising and
worthy citizens of Gallatin county, and the
wonderful advancement and prosperity
Of that county is greatly due to his liberal
ity, enterprise and foresight, and the mutton
chop. patent-leather duck. shipped out here
for the purpose of seeing that certain gov
eminent contract is filed and when that is
accomplished will leave us, should not be
countenanced in his attacks upon DIR. Lammei
and such men, whose interests are identical
with those OF the entire people. Lay on the
lash, Doctor, the people OF this section are
with you, and consider one Lamme worth
corral full Of such jackahapes as Bogert.''
The dictioa of the foregoing and that of
the Lamme reply being SO similar, the sus-
picion that both emanated from him is not un-
natural. Of course shall not demean myself
orinsult my friends here by replying to any
thing 50 scurrilous, and disgraceful to its in-.
stigators.
In noticing either article, verify 1 have
touched pitch and been defiled, and now
leave the matter in the hands of public who
will, IbeIeve, be influenced by deeds and
not by words and billingsgate.
But Think il due you, Sir. that here ac-s
knowledge my appreciation Of your evident
desire TO Geal fairly with me in this matter,
and thanking you for the prompt space al
lowed me, assi drop this subject.
