Going Up and Coming Down.

This Is a simple song. It's true
My songs are never over-niee--
And yet I'll try and scatter through
A little pinch of good advice.
Then listen. pompous friend, and learn
To never boast Of much renown,
For fortunes wheel is on the turn
And some go up and some come down.

A vast amount of pride insures
But fate has picked so many locks

Remember then and never spurn
The one whose hand Is hard and Drown
For be Is likely 20 go mp.
And you are likely TO come down.

That Goldfish Arist0cracy
is but "A scaly thing at best;
And Madame i'm her robe OF lace,
And Bridget in her faded gown
Both represent goodly race.
From Father Adam handed down.

Little we have that will endure;
And 'twere n doctrine new and strange

spring Pigs.


No stock on the farm is more inclined
to roam than the few weeks old pigs,
who find out the smallest crevice i'm a
fence, and break into the fields, front
yards, gardens, in squads bent on mis-.
chief, and giving infinite trouble, and
oftentimes causing considerable damage.
Many farmers deem il the best course
TO let them roam, thinking thereby
something is gained in the way of food,
and perhaps hardness. If we were
breeding pigs for races, and wanted
hard muscle and tough nerves, this
practice would be commendable. But
if sleek, plump, contented porkers are
the object, then closer confinement is
far better.
Until a pig is nearly or quite three
months old, he is better oil if restricted
to comfortable pen and yard. We say
comfortable inclosure, because that con.
dition is certainly quite essential to his
health and thrift. 1t should be dry,
sheltered. and not too confined. We
venture to say that litter OF pigs thus
confined will, when three months old,
weigh one.quarter more than if let run
meantime. And i'm both cases they
shall have consumed the same food.
Besides, they will have more quiet dis.
positions.
At this period, or when weaned, we
would turn them in a clover lot, supply
ing other food in abundance, and, if
convenient, let them clean the stubbles
and orchard after harvest. They should
go into the pen for final fattening if
that is to be their fate when they are yet
pigs.-Amer,can Rural Home.

THERE are many penalties alta ched to
greatness, and it is doubtful whether il
may not be preferable to occupy an OBJ
scure position, and to die unlamented
by the public, rather than to be con-
signed to earth with pompous cere-
monial, or to run the risk of having
ones deeds recorded by an incompetent
biographer. In Italy, however, it is pos.
sible for a great man 10 anticipate in the
prospect of his decease still more terri
BILE indignity-that his body may be de-
tanned above ground for ever, to crafty
the curiosity of the public. This is to
be the sad destiny of Mazzini, whose
mortal remains, instead of being con.
signed peacefully to the earth, are to be
preserved by Professor Gorini for the
benefit of future generations of sight
seers. This is a cruel fate, and one we'll

of Italian patriots and statesmen. To
live and die for Italy may be to live and
die nobly but to have ones body pet.
rified,n possibly to fall into the hands
of some Italian Barnum, is indeed an
unhappy lot.

WHERE THE FRENCH INDEMNITY GOES
France is to pay Germany for the pleas
ure Of being beaten in the late war,
about AL ,4S7, 961 thalers-equIvalent
to say Sl,000,000,000. Out of this
France receives S6,566,666 thalers in
payment for the railways of Alsace and
Lorraine. The Imperial Government
then gives TO those persons and corpo-
rations in these annexed provinces
whose private property suffered by the
war, 36,7000,000 thalers as indemnity
for their losses, and spends ii 100000
thalers in replenishing the railways
with rolling stock and other necessities.
The families of soldiers belonging to
the landwehr who persisted in the SER
vice, have been literally pensioned !;
100000 thalers was attributed among
the leading German Generals, and at
least 100000 set apart as reserve
fund for the next war. After doing all
this, and spending large sums for fort-
fications and other military purposes, a
heavy balance remains, which is to be
divided among the different States of
the Empire in proportion to the num-
Der of men furnished by each.

sowing Grass Alone.

A writer in the Rural Nev Yorker
says: Now, do not believe in any of
this old-time nonsense of sowing grass
seed OF clover with oats, rye or wheat,
just because somebody has said it was
the best way. If man wants field
seeded with timothy, SOW that and moth
ing else and the same with any other
kind of grass, or even clover, for any of
them will grow far better alone than
when crowded, shaded, or the soil about
the roots robbed of its moisture by some
coarse rank-growing grain. OF course
on rich moist soils man may seed down
with grain and thereby save one season; ;
but it is poor policy to follow this sys-
tenn on old, nearly worn-out soils, even
if our fathers and grandfathers " always
done So" Then, again, it is folly to
mix clover and timothy together in the
same field, for they are never both in
proper condition for cutting at the same
time, and little musty, over-ripe clover,
mixed in with the hay, adds nothing to
its value. By keeping both separate,
each can be cut when in the best con-
dition for hay, and this rule will hold
good with all kinds of forage plants.
