WELlINGToN's STRArEGY.-Ona q Ger.
tain occasion during Welington's CAM
paign on the Pyrennees, that "Great
Captain" being displeased with the dispo-
sitions General Hcton had made for re-
ceving the assault of Marshal Soult, who
tuenaccd him in front, ordered the plan to
be entirely changed. But the difficulty
was to delay the attack of the French
until the change could be effected. This
the "1ron Duke accomplished in person,
in the following manner: Dofing his
cooked hat and waving it in the air, he
rode furious!y to the head Of . regiment,
as if about to order charge. Thereupon
arose tremendous cheer from the. men,
which was taken up BY corps after corps
until it revefberated along the whole
exten: Of Picton's line. A. the roar died
away, Wellington was heard to remark.
musing'y, as if addressing himsslf-"Soult
is skil'ful but cautious commander, aud
will not attack in force until he has
ascertained the meaning Of these cheers.
This will give. time for the sixth division
to come up and We shall best him." It
turned out as be anticipated. Soult,
naturally enough, supposed those tremea-
dous shouts announced the arrival Of large
reinforcements. and did not attsck until
too late. had he struck at the right
moment he would have won an easy VIC
tory; At it was, he met with bloody
repulse.
This was strategy. Not the strategy Of
books, but the strategy Of genius, engen-
dered and executed in the same moment.
There is no such thing laid down in Jomi-
nj. The idea was born Of the occasion and
carried out on the instant.

ABOUT HoRsEs.-Horses, as a
general thing, get too much lick
ing and too little feed. fla man
loses his hat while driving his
horse, he licks the horse to pay
for it. Ifhc runs into another
wagon through his own careless
ness, he l;cks his. horse to make
it all right. If his horse slips or
stumbles he gets licked for it
if he does anythinghe gets licked
for it, if he don't do anything he
gets the same. A great many
horses know. "a sight" more than
their drivers, and if they could
change place with them, society
at large would be gamers, and
so would horses.

Daniel Drew.

Apropos Of Mr.. Daniel Drew's contract
with Duncan, Sherman & Co., 20 deliver
to them Eve millions Of dollars of Eric
stock during the year 1872 at IS, We
have this anecdote of that eminent specu
lator:
Not long since he met Methodist cler.
gyman IN New Jersey. and having rather
q fancy for him, asked him if hs wouldn't
like TO make little money. The minis.
ter replied that he never speculated mol
ganbled, not believing it to be right
besides, he was only worth sume fifteen
thousand dollars, and could not afford to
peril it. Mr.. Drew, after some furthe,
c'fat, said he could suggest something that
would be perfectly legitimate. and prcpos
ed, if the parson would act upon his sug
gestion. TO guarantee him against loss
while the prospect for handsome profit
was quite promising. The arrangement
was accordingly made. Some weeks later
the divine came over to New York. and
called at Mr.. Drew's Office to ascertain the
result
"Well," said Uncle Daniel, 'the fact is
that the thing l told you about has bust,
ed; but l promised to guarantee you
against loss, and l will keep my promise
So, figuring up the amour. invested
with simple interest, Mr.. Drew handed
over a check, and the pastor congratulated
himself upon the result
"But," said he-and here is where Un-
Gle Daniels joke comes in-"bat. Mr.
Drew, l told one Of my elders what y ou
had agreed to DO with mo, and he went
and bought little stock"
."Did he? :" said Uncle Daniel. "Why,
how sorry am! Tin afraid he has lost
some money"
Yes" continued the good man, "and
he told another of the trustees, and III
went and bought some."
"You don't tell me- T.
ayes, Mr.. Drew; and the brelherr
thought it was so good Of you to give nst
pint that they all vent and bought"

Upon The shutting flowers. ike souls at rest !:
The stars shine gloriously, and all
Save me are h!ost.
Mother, | love thy grave
The violet, with its blossoms blue and mild,
Waves DER thy head. When will it wave
Above thy child?
IT'S a sweet flower, yet must
Its bright leaves to the morning tempest bow.
Dear mother, it's thine emDem-d dust
Is on thy brow.
And could love to die
To leave untastcl life's dark, bitter streams,
BY thee. as erst in childhood, lie,
And share thy dreams.
And must linger here
To stain the plamage of my sinlcss years,
And mourn the hopes Of childhood dear
With bitter tears.
Aye, must linger here,

Whose last frail leaf untimely sere
Went down with thee.
Oft from life's withered bower,
In the still communion with the past i turn
And muse. on thee, the only flower
In memorys urn.
And when the evening pale
Bows like o mourner on the dim, blue wave,
l stray to hear the night winds wall
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit flown?
gaze above-thy look is imagcd there
listen and thy gentle tone
Is on the air.
Oh, come, while here press
My brow upon thy grave, and in those mild
And thrilling tones Of tenderness,
Bless. bless thy child

TREATMENT OF BREEDING sows.

We copy the following from the London
Field: The mode of management of pigs
depends of course, upon the stage at which
they are, and the purpose for which they
are kept; our greatest care being naturally
demanded in the case Of the Zorro wing SOW.
The SOW should not be over-fed while In
pig; great loss is often sustained through
having great, bulky, over-fed sows; the litter
is rarely successful one; the pigs are not
strong, and it will be odd, indeed, il the
heavy, Numbering animal does not overlie
more than one other young ones, 10 edition
to herself running the risk Of
having sundry complaints, one of
which may carry her of. Neither
should the SOW be kept lean, but in
what is called good middling condition. A
short time before she is expected to farrow,
nourishing food must be given her, to insure
ker having good supply of mix for her lit
ter; but this will require to be done judi
ciously. 1t is scarcely necessary TO say that
the SOW, while she goes with pig, shonld not
be worried nor knocked about; exercise is
quite different thing, and should not be
denied her. A very important point in the
management of breeding sows is the condi-
ton Of the bowels Just before she is expect
" W AAAAOW1 bAANoO ouON4A OO hCpb ORCA Wy
giving her food Of slightly laxative ten
dency, and she will be none the worse, but
much the better, if she has a slight dose of
sulphur, inter and ginger. A little trouble
on this point will be well repaid. We have
known many SOW sacrificed from want Of
attention to her bowels at or before the
period of her narrowing. After she has far
rowed, if she shows symptoms of uneasi-
ness, or any indications of Inflammation
about her teats, a dose Of the above medicine
will give her ease.
We have seen this simple medicine ad-
ministered with great success even in what
might be called critical cases. After the
SOW is farrowed attention will have ~ be
paid to her feeding. Strong food should not
be given; hgh mashes, chiefly of milk and
meal, will be the best for her, and these
should be given milk-warm. But as milk
has binding tendency, care should be
taken to see that her bowls are in good con-
dition. Comparatively little food will be
required by the SOW for the first seven or
eight days, and this, IS just said, should be
of light character. Many valuable sows
are lost through want of at, ention to feed
ing after the SOW has farrowed. Her ordi-
nary food, when it is returned to, should be
given moderately for several days, gradually
increasing the quantity.
