HENS VS.. HoGs-The quintessence of
the omniverous hog is supposed to be i'm
aged in the hen, but hog is Peabody
among animals alongside of hen. Hens are
by nature monopolists. When the subject
of yictuals is mentioned they are evidently
listening. Throw handful of corn into a
ten acre lot, and every hen in the enclosure
will get a dab at it. The last hen on the
spot may not get more than two or three
kernels, but nothing in the hen appearance
will indicate that. 1t will step around with
as much precision and gratitude as any in
the flock, and wear the most pensive smile
you ever saw. A hen will not eat everything
it sees, but will try to, and there isn't one
on the face of this earth but that can tell
you the taste Of everything it has seen with
in the radius of half mile OF its house 1t
is only when a man has kicked at hen and
missed it that he begins to understand how
thoroughly hollow and deceitful this world
is, and it is a marvellous fact in this connec-
ton that he will miss the hen if he kicks at
it, and misses it if he don't-Dan5ury

A gentlemen was once riding in Scotland
by bleaching ground, where poor woman
was at work watering of linen cloth. He
asked her where she went to church, what
she had heard on the proceeding day, and
how much she remembered. She could not
even tell the text of the last sermon.
{ And what good can the preaching do,
said he, f" If you forget it all ?"
"Ah, sir" redlied the poor women, if
you will look at this web on the grass, you
will see that as fast as ever put the water
on it the sun dries it all up, and yet, sir l

At Twilight.
ORIGINAL.

"The calm Of night brings peace"
o sunlight, die in golden fame
Let resting stars the azure hold.
The lonely night is more than day,
Though suns shall burn, while ages fold.
The angels send whisper down
The quiet rest of sleeping stars;
1t leaves a line of purest light
Across the rift Of cloudy bars.
The starlight falls on dreary shores
Dreary no more, but strangely sweet;
The far-of hills are white with mist,
And woven fancies hold my feet.
l almost dream that loving forms
Draw nearer, as the starlight grows;
And spirits fill the holy air,
And sorrow dies in shaking throes.
And | am sure that days may dawn,
And sunlight rest on dreamy wales;
But YET, while time shall keep his way,
My soul shall kneel till starlight pales.

The Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown, one of
those clever English preachers who have
beamed upon us during the last year or two,
has returned to his native Liverpool, and
given the Liverpoolians a lecture on "The
People Of America "a somewhat numerous
topic for an hours talk--in which he said
that in America the proportion of tall men
was much greater than in England, although
it was very seldom that jolly-looking face
was to be seen in the United States. (Which
is good. Let US all be unhappy together!'')
The people of America he considered, were
distinguished for their sobriety, but we were
especially weak on tie subject offnery. In
personal cleanliness tho Americans seemed
to him superior to the English and as for
afability, England was nowhere!-Bazar.

Laughing-gas is nothing new but the
laughing plant" is novelty. 1t is q na-
tive Of Arabia, grows about six inches high,
and bears yellow flowers. Two or three
black seeds are produced, which, when pull
verized and administered, operate in curl
GUS way. For about an hour the person
who has taken it laughs, sings, dances, and
conducts in the most ludicrous and extrava-
CANT manner. After the excitement has
passed he falls into profound slumber, on
awakiIg- from which he is unconscious of
what has occurred.

THE CABINET.

The Baltimore IFecker says:-"With the
single exception of Mr.. Boutwell,, who was
elected Senator, and as Secretary was sue
ceeded by Judge Richardson, the Cabinet
remains unchanged. This conservative
policy of President Grant gives the clearest
evidence of his confidence in his late advsi-
ers, and is surely cause of satisfaction to
to the entire country that these men, after
a rigid trial, were called to resume the
direction of their Departments for another
term. But we Marylanders have especial
reason to congratulate ourselves over the
reappointment of the Postmaster General,
Maryland's distinguished son, Mr.. Cres-
we'll. Those most intimately acquainted
with the unsefish energy of this admins
trative officer, best displayed in his uncom-
promising feud against the grasping mo-,
nopoies, for which he is so bitterly abused
by the subsidized portion of the press, best
appreciate his merit and value, and thank
the President for giving him an opportunity
to complete his measures of reform and ex-
pansion in our postal service.
Mr.. Boutwell, successor, Judge Richard
son, brings with him into his responsible
position vast knowledge and experience,
gathered under his able predecessor, and in
contact with the highest financial talent of
Europe. Having been truly the "alter ego"
of his late chief, he is thoroughly initiated
in his financial principles and their ptacti-
cal operations, and whilst determined to
follow the same policy as far as the interest
of the people may require, .justities the
highest expectations as to his agency in the
solution of the grave question, how to
return to ''hard cash." May propitous
auspices guide his progress?
Many of those who ventured to advise
changes in the Cabinet must now be bitter
ly disappointed that the President did not
permit them to force their counsel upon
him, but the party and the people will ad :
mire him the more for this new evidence
Of prudence and independence.

Agricultural Wealth of the Arkansas
Valley.

Mr.. Robert NJ. Wright is an old settler
in the West, and came into the Arkansas
Valley, as early as 1859. He is now living
near Fort Dodge, and has been there for
years. He writes:
81 was born and raised in Maryland; in
1856 moved to Colorado and located near
Pueblo, in the Arkansas Valley; from
there moved to Cameron Crossing, forty
five miles above the Post; l moved to this
Post Fort Dodge in 1867. and have been
engaged in the cattle business, and work
about twenty-fi five cattle teams, Summer
and Winter.
my cattle do splendidly; the cows give
from the native grass we have here larger
yield Of rich milk than l ever saw else
where; cattle prefer the buffalo grass to
hay in the Winter-it is short and sweet,
curing in the field.
In 1870 kept small flock of sheep;
they prospered finely, but being in insult
ficient numbers to pay me for handling
them, got RI of them.
"Besides this fact, there is everything
here in the way of soil, water, grass and
atmosphere to show that this is the best
region in Kansas"
81 have seen wheat grow in Colorado,
two hundred miles furthur up this Valley,
which yielded forty bushels to the acre.
and there is no doubt that the upland
praires here will do the same with proper
cultivation.
"The rapid growth of native timber is
very noticeable here, for wherever the
prairie fire has been kept away there are
thousands Of young cottonwoods growing
thriftily"
