SPRING PIGs.-No stock on the farm is
more inclined to roam than the few weeks
old pigs, who find out the smallest crevice in
a fence, aud break out into the fields, front
yards, gardens, in squads, bent on mischief,
and giving infinite trouble, aud Outlines caus-
ing considerable damage. Many farmers
deem it the best course to let them roam
thinking thereby something is gained in the
way OF food, and perhaps hardness. If VIC
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 qnite three months old, he is better
off il restricted to comfortable pen and
yard. We say comfortable enclosure, be-
cause that condition is certainly quite essen
tlal to his health and thrift. IL should BE-
dry, sheltered, and not too confined. We VEN
ture to say that a litter of pigs thus con-
fined will, when three months old, weigh
one-quarter more than if let run meantime.
And in both cases they shall have consumed
the same foed. Besides. they will have more
quiet dispositions. At this period, or when
weaned, we would let them in a clover lot,
supplying other food in abundance and, if
convenient, let them CLEAN the stubbles
and orchard after harvest. Then they should
20 into the pen for final fattening, it that is
to be their fate. -Amsrioaa Rar1l Hn,.

There is no course that is worth a mans
while to pursue which does not make him
happy. The reason men pursue courses
that are wrong, is that they believe they
will be made happier; that they will reap
greater pleasure. And if you could show
that these wrong courses in men make
them, not happy, but wretched, their ex
ample would be disarmed of half of its
mischief.
verify believe that men who prosper
by wickedness lose their capacity of en-
joyment, so that there are thousands and
thousands of overswollen prosperous men
who are not one tenth as happy as the men
who have almost nothing. Why, there
are poor working men in yonder city with
such pitiful stipends that they can scarcely
make the ends meet, who are yet great
deal happier than the millionaire whom
they serve. There are men that have
gone through the prosperity of what is
called secular things in this world, who
look out envIously. and sometimes almost
sadly, upon the swart laborer, and say,
" Oh if had no more anxiety than he
has if could whistle and sing as he
does if bad his lungs and such arms
as he has; if were as happy as he is, 1
think | would be willing to give up all
my wealth." Oh the heart-achlng cases,
the rust and biting, the envies and Jealous
ies the competitions and rivalries, the at
triDutions, of life keyed in the lower
range of the human faculties These mis-
cries belong to such men; and if you
could look into them you would not be de-
ceived, nor seduced, nor persuaded to take
their place.

on another track Colonel was after him,
and came back to us after q few minutes.
Following the tracks into the cornfeId we
soon found where the dog had caught him,
leaving his warm body on the snow. We
were getting on well. The orders of our
hostess were filed. Won't we have good
dinner, we thought? In Kansas the rabbits
are better to eat than IN Vermont. Their
bodies are thicker, and their legs shorter.
Then, too, they get some fat on them, and
who ever heard of fat rabbit, east? We
found the kidneys CT these completely cover
ed with fat when we came to skin them.
Well. we continued on our way home.
We started up another flock of prairie
chickens, of full hundred In the winter
they gather in vast flocks. A few days be-
fore this, on another part of my circuit, l
started up flock that covered the ground
thick, at least ten acres. 1t was just at
dusk, and they had lighted in the snow for
night.
A little farther on rabbit ran from under
my feet, and | did my best to hit him with
my pole, but the agile fellow went SO fast
that the blow fell harmlessly foot behind
him. Before the dogs could get him he ran
into hole and escaped US. We We're not
far from home. In little run where were
some tall weeds and bushes We started out
one. and at the same time could hear Colone
barking in the cornfeld. The one from the
bushes ran into the same hole in the wal
and Colonel joined US. We left him and
went after the one at the shock of corr
where Colonel was barking. AS l ran my
stick under the corn the rabbit leaped out,
and the dog followed two rods behind.
Among the standing corn and cuckleburs the
rabbit eludei the dogs only to get a cut from
Mr.. Weldon's pole, as he came out the other
side of the field. Then we turned our atten :
ton to that one in the wall Pulling out
some loose rocks we saw not one, but two,
snugly hidden among the stones. Laying
hold of them, one at time, pulled them
out, knocked them on the head, and we had
nine rabbits Pretty good hunting that (!
We weighed them on getting home, and found
their weight twenty-five pounds. Two of
them cooked for our dinner, for we had been
but three hours, made US meal. They
were as tender and sweet as chicken.
did not feel bad to kill these fellows, for they
trouble the farmers greatly, gnawing the
bark off apple, peach and cherry trees.

INGRAT1TUDE To PARENTS There was
once father who gave up everything to
his children-his house, his fields, and
goods-and expected that for this his
children would support him. But after
be had been some time with his son, the
latter grew tired of him, and said:
Father have had a son born to me
this night, and there, where your arm
chair stands, the cradle must come.
Will you not, perhaps. 60 to my broth
er who has a larger ROOM"
After be had been some time with the
second son, he also grew tired of him, and
said
Father, you like warm room and
that hurts my head. Won't you 60 to my
brother, the baker p
The father went and after be had been
some time with IKE third son, he also
found him troublesome, and said to
him:
Father, the people run il and out
here all day, as if it were pig con house
and you can not have your monday sleep.
Would you not be better off at my sister
Hates, near the town WALTZ"
The old man remarked how the wind
blew, and said to himself: Yes, | will
do so; | will go AMI try it with my
daughter. Women have softer hearts.
But after he had spent some time with
his daughter, she grew weary Of him
and said she was always so fearful when
her father went to church, or anywhere
else, and was obliged to descend the steeE
stairs, and at her sister Elzabeth's there
were no stairs to descend, as she lived OF
the ground floor.
For the sake of peace the old maj
went to his other daughter. But atte
some time, she too was tired of him, anC
told him, by third person, that he
house near the water was too damp for
man who suffered from the govt, and her sis
ter, the grave-dlgger's wife, at St. Johns
had much drier lodgings. The old MAJ
himself thought she was right, and Wen
outside the gate, to his youngest daug hter
Helen. But after he had been three day
with her, her little son said to his grand
! father
Mother said yesterday to my cousi
Elizabeth, that there was no better cham
Der for you than such one as fathe
digs"
These words broke the old mans heart
so he sank back in his chair, and died.

The Blessing Of To-day.

Strange, we never prize the music
Till the sweet-voiced birds have flown;
Str nge thlt we should 81 ght the vlolets
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange. that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one halt so fair
As when winters snowy pinions
Shake the white down in the alrl
Lips from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossoms of such beauty
AS adorns the month to-day,
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweeter accents
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather mp the sunbeams
lying all around our path;
Let us keep tn wheat and roses,
Casting out the thOrns and chat;
Let US find our sweetest comforts
In the blessings of the day,
With patient hand removing
All the briers from our way.

A Question.

BY ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS.
If there be land
Where our longings staId
Like angels strong and sweet,
With wings at head and feet,
Released from their long ward
And durance; put on guard
For strength and meetness,
All the stronger for their sweetness,
All the sweeter for their strength,
In such a land at length,
wonder would it ever be
That could give little love to thee?
If in such place,
l should Sc face
Seen now SO long, so long ago,
That should scarcely know
If might be the same;
And if one spoke my name,
However family,
In the old way-stealng sanity,
Like a chant upon my ear
In such place, fear
Me, it could never, never be
That thou couldst i've little love from me

Cant. Tyson an Adyenturer.

New YORK, May 90.
A New York gentleman who has been
connected with shipping house in New
London, Conn, which formerly employed
both Capt. Tyson and Capt. Buddington,
says Capt. Tyson, six years ago, was the
principal in an adventure singularly like
that of the Polaris He was in command
of the schooner Era on a whaling voyage
from NV London to Greenland. In the
fall of The year, while lying in Cumberland
Sound. the vessel broke from her moorings
and he was obliged to abandon her with all
his crew of twenty-four men, taking with
him stores and provisions. Making his
way to shore with the crew, he built tents
of sails taken from the vessel, and lived
under them during the entire Winter. His
''"senl five miles from the shore in the
pack ice, without anchorage all the time.
When the ice broke up in the Spring, on
seeing that the ship was not seriously dam
aged he regained it, filled it with oil and
returned to New London. Tyson is brave,
dashing captain, who will expose his YES
sci to the danger of any Arctic Winter up
to the very last moment of safety, and will
often accomplish brilliant results. Bud
dngton, on the other hand, is a careful and
calculating Yankee, who is noted for his
scrupulous guardianship of property and
lives under his charge. His New London
neighbors are reported to have predicted,
when the expedition started, that Budding
ton would bring back his vessel and crew
in safety, and that scientific results would
be subordinated, so far as he was concern
ed, to this end. But the story that he de-
liberately abandoned nineteen helpless hui
man beings to their fate is not credited.
He is man of family and experience. He
is deemed incapable of any such cruelty.
Both of the men are old whaling captains,
and have made eight or ten voyages each.
Capt. Buddington brought into New Lon
don the Resolute, one of Sir f. Belchers
expedition, which was abandoned May 10,
1854, not far from Beechy Island. Capt.
Buddington was then on whaling voyage.

men that the Polars is safe

New Court HOUSE AT ST. Adams
Franklin county has long needed "A new
Temple of Justice, or what is more COM
monty known as Court House. The one
that has been used from time immemorial
has long been out of all decent repair and
too small to accommodate even the lawyers
who reside there. So last fall movement
was set on foot, principally by st. Adams
men, to begin operations for new House.
| A bill was proposed for introduction into
the Legislature and its passage was finally
effected, after some considerable strife in
reference to the location, many wishing it
to be removed to Sheldon, and even some
| St. Adams taxpayers, complaining at the
great cost of the same if located in their
village, were willing any other town should
have it. Judge Royce and few other in
| fluential men were Jealous in their efforts,
and finally won the day. After its settle
ment by the Legislature, the town of st.
Adams voted by rather close ballot to
appropriate the sum of $4,000 out of their
own pockets for its erection. The result
will probably be that the county will have
one of the best buildings for Court purposes
in the State. The old building has already
been torn down, and its successor is fast
becoming matter of reality. 1t is to be
of brick, two stories in height, and 56x93
feet in Dimension. There are to be rooms
for the Probate Court, Town Clerks office,
and Jury rooms, beside the principal Court
room. The latter is to be 4Sx51 feet in
size and 90 feet in Knight, and is to have a
ladies' gallery and fine, spacious rostrum,
all of attractive designs and finish.
1t is expected the building will be com
pleted in season for the holding of the
September term of Court in 1874 and it is
understood that the probable cost will be
about 100000.
