PUMPKINS FOR STocK. The different opin.
ions OF farmers as to the value of pumpkins
for mich COWS and other stock, is believed to
be the result of different ways of feeding
them, by a correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph. In hurry to clear field farm-
ers will give their cattle surfeit of pump
kins for day or two, then for day or two
perhaps none, and thus alternate feasts and
lasts, and conclude pumpkins are worthless
or worse. The writer says he intends to
feed pumpkins about two Notwithstanding
them last until the snow flies. He feeds reg
ularly, once day. from one to three pump
kins per head. never more, and finds them
greatly conducive to health of stock, besides
greatly increasing the quantity and quality
of the butter made. Pumpkin-made butter
will readily pass for . golden" or $ gilt
edged y without the use of !" coloring."

A Ballad.
By ALICE CARY.

The morn is hanging her fre-fringed vail
Made of the mist DER the walnut boughs,
And Barbara, with her cedar pail,
Comes to the meadow to call the cows.
" The little people that live in the air
Are not for human hands TO wrong"
Says Barbara, and her loving prayer
Takes them up as she goes along.
GAY sings the miller, and Barbara's mouth
Purses with echoes it will not repeat
And the rose on her cheek hath May-day's growt
In the line with the ending " love you, sweet"
Yonder the mill is, small and white,
Hung ike a vapor among the rocks
Good spirits say to her morn and night
Barbara Barbara stay with your focks."
Stay, for the treasures you have to keep;
Cherish the love that you know is true;
Though stars should shine in the tears you weep,
They never would come out of heaven to you.
And were you to followithe violet veins
Over the hilIs-to the ends of earth,
Barbara, what would you get for your pans,
More than your true-love's love is worth?
So, never a thought about brave- mills;
OF prouder lovers your dreaming cease:
4 world is shut in among these hills
Stay in it, Barbara, stay for your peaceI

AN INCIDENT FROM THE STUDIES OF
PENIKEsE.-On Saturday, the Goth of
July, while one of the students in the lab
oratory was dissecting skate, he found in
the body of the fish an egg, Now this
may seem matter of very small con-
sequence, especially if one has walked
along the beach, and noticed how frequent
ly the curious she'll which incoses this
egg may be seen. 1t certainly seemed
quite an Indifferent matter to the student
and when he took his tray up to the pro.
fessor to exhibit his discovery, he had
very little idea Of the sensation he was
about to cause. An exclamation from DR.
Wilder, to whom it was first shown,
brought forward Professor Agassiz, and.
the excessive establishment and satisfaction
which he manifested, Immediately called
around him wondering circle of ladies
and gentlemen.
Professor Agassiz was interested in the
egg. we in him, and it seemed quite worth
our while to observe him as he studied it..
Beaming and sparkling with delight, he
surprised US by saying, no human eye,
SO far as is recorded. has ever seen what
we now see-an egg in the body of the
skate. | have been looking for forty years
for this very thing" He seemed as happy
and as nervous as an inexperienced young
maiden with unexpected love letter.
When he began to trim away the flesh SO
as to show the egg in its bed to better ad-
vantage, his hand trembled SO thathe could
hardly use it. But more was to come.
As he was carefully, slowly clipping away
the feshy covering there came sudden, a
very expressive " ah-h~h,' and then the
words, "truly, here are two of them how
beautiful they are the sight of those two
eggs alone would pay me for my whole
summers work !" and then, with soft.
happy, .boyish whistle he went on with
the dissectiDg to make it ready for the
master.
When II was drawn. showing both egg
entire in the shells, it was brought COWS

QUEER THINGS ABOUT BABIEs,-A great
many curious things happen to babies in
this round world of ours, that youthful
readers probably never heard of. Our
Young Folks tel us about some of them ::
One thing is-plantiug them. This is
done by the dark skinned woman of Guinea
aud it isn't half so dreadful as it sounds.
The mother digs hole in the ground.
stands baby in it, and then packs the warm
sand around him to keep him in place
as you would set out rose-bush. 1t keeps
him out of mischief,and he can play in the
sand while his mother works. All day
long he stays in this odd crib, and at night,
when she is done with her work, he is dug
out.
When this agricultural mother wants to
carry baby about, she ties him into lit
tie char which she straps to her back. If
1t is some very grand occasion. he is dress
ed neatly in stripes of white paint, aud
ornamented with dozeus of brass brace
lets and rings on arms and legs. A funny
looking baby he must be!
If you don't fancy crib of sand for a
baby, what do you think of big shoe,
stuffed with moss to make it comfortable :?
The droll little Laps cradle their babies in
that way. The shoe is large of course,
and made of reindeer skin. 1t comes up
high in the back, like the slippers we wear
nowadays, and is turned up at the toe
The moss with which it is stuffed is the
famous reindeer moss. soft and white: and
the odd little black-eyed baby looks very
comfortable hanging from tree, or slung
across it's mothers back.
Perhaps this baby who lives in shoe
is no more comical than the baby who
lives in a fur bag--anotber sober little
black-eyed baby away off in the shivery
Esquimaux huts. Besides being cuddled up
in the fur bag at his mothers back,
this ound-faced little fellow wears fur
hood, and looks like some strange kind of
animal peeping out on the world.
