PE.S.Sl'iS DREAM.

A correspondent of Lana and Water
tells the following about Il cat:
"She was very still, and appeared to
be fast asleep, when suddenly she sprans
into the middle of the room, where she
fixed her feet on limited spot on the
floor, to which also her nose was applied,
as if closely grasping something she held
in her claws. This continued for a short
time, when the nose was gently raised,
and the visible attention was directed to
the feet, which still continued their
grasp; but after time one of them was
gradually removed, and then the other,
at which puss appeared greatly at loss
to imagine whittier the imaginary object
could have gone, so as to escape her
grasp. She looked in various directions
along the floor, with foolish face of
confusion; and then again her attention
was directed to the spot on which the
feet were first closely pressed, as if to
examine closely whether the presumed
escape had been by sinking through the
floor; and when this seemed unsatis-
factory, the disappointed animal, now
widely awake, retired slowly from the
spot; but she returned more than once
to re-examine the place, as if she found
it impossible to comprehend how an
object she had so plainly seen and
grasped should have sunk into nothing.
Many minutes elapsed before the cat APP
peared to be reconciled to the conviction
that what had been dream was not i'll
truth reality"

TIE SNOW Cross.
q winds of Winter, wall
q bells of sorrow toll,
Clad in his mail,
Where the cold bows roll
The old year die |, and fell
Upon his couch of snow,
The sky his funeral bell,
The earth his bier below,
He filed his mission here.
And well deserves a crown;
We drop sacred tear,
And wreath him with renown.
And ths white cross of stainless snow we raise
A token of our love, memorial OF praise.
The came at his command, and 10!
Winter wrapped shivcrng nature in her snow,
And roots, and grass, and grain, and herbs, and
flowers,
Waited the hlucbrds call and drum Of showers;
And when at last the lingering flakes Of snow
Melted beneath the robins radiant glow,
Up came the laughing flowers,
Down came the silver showers,
Like the nag overhead,
The blue, and white and red,
Touched softly Of the stars,
Cleaning between the bars.
Shone out on plain and hill,
Where the sweet blossoms spill
The odor of their praise,
Aud birds fill all the days
With songs of jubilee,
Which cheered each hapy tree.
Next sober Autumn came,
And filed the woods with fame;
Then Winter followed fast
With SNOW and stormy blast;
Now comes the glad New Year;
Next, Spring approaches near.
Happy, happy, happy chimes,
Ring in the better times;
The blue bird will be piping soon,
And Summer, with its burning noon;
The snow, whose white wings take
their fight,
Shall rcappear in blossoms white.

An addition Of six or eight pounds OF
hay must also be given in the rack.
These quantities, however, are merely
approximate, for the old horse and n
of harder work will, to keep him in
good condition, require an addition,
and young animals OF less work will not
require 80 much. Draught and hard
worked horses should be fed more gen
crously, say 10 and lG pounds OF meal,
with six to eight pounds of cut hay,
half a peck of bran, and an extra allow
ance of hay In the rack at night, This
amount of feed to saddle and carriage
horses is equivalent to about 40 bushels
of corn, about two tons Of hay, and 20
bushels of bran per year; and for
draught horses 100 bushels Of corn,
about two tons Of hay, and 81 bushels
of corn.

MEDICAL GUFSSwORK, The profes-
sional treatment Of disease is in II great
measure experimental. If one medicine
fails another is tried, and sometimes
this hit-or-miss practice is pursued I'M
til the resources of the faculty is eX
hausted. This, in the truest sense Of
the word, is cmpiricism. But when the
physician has made Il valuable discove-
ry he is called by his professional bre-
thren an Empire, because he advertises
the result of his labor and research.
When DR.. Walker of California intro
duced his celebrated VINEGAR BrTTERs
as a remedy for all blood diseases, he
| struck a tremendous blow at the empi-
rical system, as applied in our hospitals
and in private practice. 1t was soon
apparent that his medicine was not n
mere palliative or alternative that only
modified the symptoms OF a disorder
but that it reached the very source Of
| the malady in the blood and the secre-
tions, and literally rooted it out. The
process of renovation and disinfection
went on together, yigor was impaired
to the organs from which the virus of
disease had been expelled. That such
is the effect of this popular vegetable
remedy no one who has had %oppOrtuni-
ties Of observing its operation in cases
of liver complaint, Indigestion, ailec-
tons of the bowels, govt, rheumatism,
and pulmonary disorders, can possibly
doubt.

Large Pears and How Raised.

Some Of our readers have heard Of
the magnificent pears raised by Mr..
Leighton, Of Norfolk, Virginia. The
method Of culture, given by him in the
HorijcUitUrist, is another proof OF the
old saying that from nothing nothing
springs and that pears cannot grow
without food. His trees, which are
dwarf, are planted twelve feet apart
each way-N little further would be
bctter-in large holes, filled with top
soil mixed with u compost Of muck,
woOd-mold and lime-the two first in
about two equal parts, and the lime
onc-twolfth. No crops are allowed to
grow in the pear orchard before June,
and the surface is kept clean. Straw
berries Mr.. i. finds to be the most ex-
hausting. He remarks, Persons who
have not courage and disposition to
spare the land and keep it thoroughly
cultivated, should not embark in the
business of pear culture" The holes
in which the trees are Set, and which
are filed with earth and compost, are
three feet dcep-which is not in nc
cordancc with the theory that trees do
best when the roots are near the sur
face. Mr.. j.. sums mp as follows "ln

successful pear culture in Eastern Viz

The chief use of flowers is to beauti-
fy IL homes, hence it is proper to use
them within doors as well ms without !;
and nothing adds more to the cheerful
appearance to a parlor or sitting room
than Il few nice plants and flowers, es-
pecially in the dull season Of winters.
All who love flowers and their culture
are DESTROYS Of saving some Of their pets
from the nipping frosts Of autumn, and
enjoying them within doors when all
outside have persisted, This is not s
very difficult task, especially in well
constructed houses, and with Il judicIous
selection Of plants.
Mr.. VIcK in his Woroi Gnidc for
1878, gives the following hints and Illus
trations on this topic
Plants in the house afford the most
pleasure in the winter season when AL
is drcary without. In summer the gar
dens furnish abundance Of iIawcrS for
decoration; but birth days festivals and
company will come in winter rs well as
in summer. There are times, too, when
tho gardens cannot be visited by any,
and very often there are members OF
the family who seldom enjoy this priv
ilcgc.
In regard to house plants, ! would re-
mark that few plants can endure the
high temperature and dry atmosphere
Of most of our living rooms. The tem-
pcraturc should not be allowed to 90
above scnvcnty in the day time, aud be-
low forty in the night. AS much air
and light as possible should be given,
while the leaves should DO s]prinkIed
frequently. A spare room, on porIor,
or extra bed room, is better for plants
than II living room. A bay window con
ncctcd with II warm room, especially II
facing South of East, makes an excel
lent place for keeping plants in winter.
1t should have glass doors on the in
side, which can be closed It part Of the
time especially when sweeping and
busting. The main thing in keeping
house plants in health is to securo an
cycn temperature, II moist atmosphere
and freedom from dust. Sprinkle the
leaves occasionally, and when water is
needed use it freely. II the R%rocn-iiy,
or aphis appears, wash with soNp-suds
frequently, and occasionally with q lit
tie tobacco water, or a detection Of
qlassia chips. Occasionally but not
often, worms appear in the pots. This
rau be avoided in u grcal measure by
careful potting. A little weak Imc wa
.er is sometimes Of benefit in such eases
IIso five drops Of liquid ammonia to
of water, though, perhaps, fhe
way is to rcpot, removing the
arth carefully, so rs not to iuiurc the
rowth of the plant.

INDIAN CoRN FOR lIoRsE FEED pos
scRses all the elements Of warmth and
nutrition, and is well calculated to sup
ply the wear and tenr of the system of
the hardest worked horse, and keep him
in u healthy condition, without any as.
sistmcc OF oats; but the usual addition
Of hay should be allowed TO horses,
whatever be the feed that is in use.
BY II reference TO the ana ysis of corn,
it viii be observed that there is little
loss from woody fibre or other inert
Substances. II is this principle con
tanned in corn that is TO be modified and
corrected as n feed, and not to be added
to by II greater concentration OF nutri-
tive matter; or, III other words, add to
the corr materials that do not contain,
or Mt least but in II small degree, those
powerful constituents that characterize
Indian corn; and for this purpose We
will recommend that the corn be in
minute division, on ground into meal,
TO insure II greater diffusion in the
stomach, and less concentration than
would result by feeding it whole, and
not mixed with cxtrancous matter, as
cut hay, or chnif and n little bran. The
bran is to prevent, or at least modify,
the costiye or binding and heating
effects Of the corn the chaff or cut hay
is to give sufficient bulk to feed, there
by keeping the bowels moist and the
meal from contraction. At the same
time the horse has a feed before him of
which he can eat his fill without pro-
ducing cramp or collie, which often re-
suits from feeding corn whole or i'll
meal, without a sufficient mixture or
bulk being in it, It is the want of this
knowledge, together with the extra
trouble in cutting hay and mixing such
Il feed, that forms the chief argument OF
some stable-men against feeding with
corn, and in favor of oats. A carriage
or saddle horse used for shopping or
afternoon rides or drives, can be kept
in excellent condition with six pounds
of corn meal, three pounds of cut hay,
two quarts of wheat bran, and a tea
spoonful OF salt, mixed with warm water
