THE CHRISTIANS AND pATR1cKs.

From we'll authenticated traditions in the
Patrick and Christian families (which inter-
married) the Christians came into the county
in 1872 from Williamsburg-along the route of
Gov. Spottswood, (who crossed the Blue Ridge
at Swift Run Gap in 1721.) There were three
Observation-Disclosures, John and William Christian.
They settled on christian s Greek" giving it
the name, land this name is recognized in the
patent to VIM. Beverly, in Sept, 1885, as the
then known name of that creek, showing its
settlement precious to 1876 They subse-
quently, in 1877, took deed from Wm Bev-
erley for near 1900 acres of land, extending
from John Churchman's (Sr.) place up the
creek beyond A. G. Christians farm The
farm OF a. G. Christian and B. Christian, is
part Of the original tract-has never been held
by any other conyeyance-and the fifth genera
ton has been born upon it. One of the build
ings, yet standing, was erected about 1749; the
older ones, built In 1872, fell into decay long
since. The beautiful springs upon the place,
and the foe timber upon the ridges. and the
blue grass in the meadows and the great abuu-
dance Of game-deer aud buffaIoes the
hills, are said, BY tradition, to have been the
special attraction 10 settling this spot OF their
heroic descendants and their deeds at Point
Pleasant and since, we will speak more fully
hereafter.

Burns Epistle to a Young Friend.

A something to have sent you,
Though it should serve nae other end
Than just kind memento;
But how the subject. theme may gang,
Let time and chance determined
Perhaps 1t may turn out sang,
Perhaps turn out sermon.
Yell try the world fu' soon, my lad,
And, Andrew dear, believe me.
Yen find mankind an unco squad,
And muckle they may grieve ye:
For care and trouble set your thought,
Even when your ends attained;
And a. your views may come to nought,
Where every nerve is strained.
I'll no say en- are villains a.;
The real, hardened, wicked,
Wha hae nae check but human law
Are to few restricted;
But, och mankind are unco weak,
And little to be trusted;
If self the wavering balance shake,
It's rarely right adjusted
Yet they wha IA in fortunes strife,
Their fate we should ma censure,
For still tn important end of life
They equally may answer;
A man may hae an honest heart,
Though poortith hourly stare him;
A man may tax neibor's part,
Yet hae nae cash to spare him,
Aye free, att ham your story tell,
When WI d bosom crony:
But still keep something to yoursel
Ye scarcely tell to ony.
Conceal yoursel as weers We can
Frae critical dissection,
But keek through every other man,
WI sharpened, sly inspection.
The sacred lowe O. weel-placed love,
Luxuriantly Indulge it;
Rlt never tamnt th' Illicit r0vp
>" Though naething should divulge it:
L waive the quantun O. the sin,
The hazard of eoncealIng;
But, och it hardens a within,
And petrifes the feelingl
To catch dame Fortunes golden smile,
Asssiduous wait upon herl
And gather gear by every vile
That's justified by honour;
Not for to hide it in hedge,
Nor for train-attendant
But for the glorious privilege
OF being independent.
The fear O. hsllis hangman's whip,
To haud the wretch in order;
But where ye feel your honour grip,
Let that aye be your border:
Its slightest touches, instant pause
Debar q SIDE pretences;
And resolutely keep It's laws,
Uncaring consequences.
The great creator to revere
Must sure become the creature;
But still the preaching cant forbear,
And even the rigid feature:
Yet ne er with wits profane to range,
Be complaisance extended
An Atheist laughs q poor exchange
For Deity offended
When ranting round in pleasures ring,
Religion may be blinded
Or if she gle a random sting,
It may be little minded;
But when on life we're tempest-driven,
a conscience but canker,
A correspondence fixed WI Heaven,
Is sure d nobler anchor!
Adieu, dear, amiable youth
Your heart can ne er be wanting
May prudence fortltude and truth,
Erect your brow undauntingl
In ploug man phrase. God send you speed
Still daily to grow wiser:
And may you better reck the rede
Than ever did tn adviser!
In a copy of this poem in Burns own han'
nd bearing date 'Mossgiel, May 18th, 178e
here occurs an additional stanza. It occurs in
after The iine, AND petrifes the fee
ng.'
IF ye haze made step aside,
Some hap mistake O erta'e en- you,
Yet still keep up decent pride,
And nee O er far demean you:
Time comes wi kind oblivious shade,
And daily darker sets it,
And if nae mair mistakes are made,
The world soon forgets it.

FEED Fowls A LITTLE, AND OFTEl

FEED Fowls A LITTLE, AND OFTEN
1t is a very careless method Of feed,
ing fowls which we see so often adopted
where the grain is thrown down in
great heaps on the ground or floor.
1t is not only wasteful, but injurious
to the fowls, because they get over-fed
and itisin an important respect contrary
to their habits. For their nature is to
i" scratch" Watch the old hen with a
brood when she is just let out of the
coop. She hardly stirs from the spot,
but soon as she has realized her freedom,
down 60 her claws into the soil, and
afterward, whenever you see her, she
is at it.
Always feed, then, no more than can
be eaten at once, and take care that it
is so scattered amongst some light rub
bish, that they may have the luxury of
scratching for it. If feed is buried in
fresh earth, then they get, with their
mouthfuls of grain, something of use to
their peculiar digestive organs. Grain,
however, should not be allowed to come
in contact with the filthy tainted soil
too often found in the poultry-yard

SAUsAGE-MAKING AND KEEPING.

SAUsAGE-MAKING AND KEEPING
To make family sausage, the trimmings
and other lean and fat portions of pork
are used, taking care that there is
about twice as much lean as fat; some
consider it an improvement to add
about one sixth of the weight of lean
q beef. AS to seasoning, that is a matter
of taste. The majority of people use
salt, pepper, and sage only, some use
only salt and pepper, while others, in
addition to the above, put in thyme,
mace, cloves, and other spices There is
something repulsive about the intestines
or" skins" used for stufling sausages,
and the majority preserve the meat in
