POETRY.
The Jupiter Of Ellis.
. BY b. W, BALL.

BY b. W, BALL.
Where is the Jove of Ellis,
Which safe adored OF old,
BY matches Phidias carven
In ivory and gold?
From its large brows effusion
OF tranquil thoughts was poured
On warrior, bard and statesman,
Who silently adored.
Awestruck, within the shadow
OF majesty supreme,
They knelt and iel, the genius
Ut Homer Ger them stream.
Thus DER the thunder seated
The Ether's Lord he saw,
When from his soul the MUSES.
The mortal veil did draw.
Thus rolled the locks ambrosial
To ratify his nod;
Thus clutched the bolt Of terror
The right hand of the God.
The mighty minstrel's vision
The mighty sculptor caught,
And there it safe tor ages,
lephantine-wrought.
Colossal type of manhood
Fen worthy to have hurled
The arrows of the ligh ming
Above our little world.
Eight hundred years the Grecian
It deepest homage paid,
And cen the victor Roman
Knelt awestruck in its shade.
At length fanatic fury
Dethroned the idol vast,
And in the smelling furnace,
Its rich proportions cast.
Then came the cult Of sorrow;
The thorn encircled brow
Was lifted Ger tine nations
And reigneth even now.
The eagle shaded forehead
OF Zeus no more prevailed,
And strong, Hellenic manhood
To desert dresmers quailed.
At length the mythic fancy's
Old twilight spell is DER,
And over man his shadow
Enskled can reign no more.

Essex Swine.

At an early period of his residence on the
"Moreton Farm" Mr.. Harris commenced
breeding the Essex hog, and has contin ued
breeding and selling until his herd now num-
bers $50. The old hogs, such as be breeds
from, and wishes to keep little thin in flesh,
run to grass in his splendid Northern Spy
orchard, while the young and growing, and
those nursing filters of pigs, are fed on
cooked Indian meal, brewers combs, etc.
The Essex is one of the smaller, fine-bened
breeds that keep easily and fatten readily,
making pork of medium weight, and is, un-
doubtedly, one of the most profitable for the
farmer; profitable, not because they attain to
great weight, but because they make the
best use of their food, and waste little.
The breed most nearly resembling the
Essex is the Berkshire, and such have their
advocates. Either, in our opinion, is great
improvement upon the coarse, large breeds
that too many farmers still cling to, and
cross with them could hardly fail to put
money in their pockets.
Many are fooishly prejudiced against the
black color in swine. but we guess their flesh
Is as white as if they had white hairs. The
flesh of the Essex is said to be of the best
quality.-An. Rural Home.
