THE VALUE OF FALL PASTURE.-It may
be supposed that so long as grass IS green,
and there is plenty of it. the pasturage is
as GOOD at one time as another. This is a
dangerous mistake. Doubtless much OF
the disease which occurs amongst stock.
after the substantial growth of spring and
summer has ceased is due to TINS error.
A wet season may cause second growth
Of grass or clover. which is eaten with
avidity; but this is deficient in nutriment,
and too succulent to be healthful. Stock
fed upon it fail to thrive. if they do not ac-
tuallv suffer. In course of time the diges-
tive organs are disordered, and if the stock
is neglected, the first in:imation that any
thing is wrong, probably comes in the
shape of the loss of some Of them. The
past season has afforded numerous exam
pies of the fact here pointed out. An in
teresting experience of Western New
York dairyman, accords exactly with our
own, and is valuable. The wet weather
which succeeded the harvest, started a
luxuriant growth of oats from the shelled
Grain. The COWS were turned upon this
heritage. as an excellent addition to the
! feed. The butter was well cOlOred. but
the quality was so inferior that complaints
poured in from the customers. This feeC
was worse than useless, it was injurious
As the milk comes from the blood, the
blood Of these COWS was affected, and hat
it not been that the injurious matter wa
carried off by the milk, there might very
well have been some serious cases of dis
ease in the herd, as there have been other:
in that locality.

Z A PARROT SToRY.-MY father was an old
gentleman who was very regular in his
habits. Every evening it was his custom
to take stroll after tea to visit some old
friends by the name of Tste,> who lived IN
the next street. Before leaving the house
he would open the door of the dining-room
where he used, to7sit, and would say aloud,
"0nly going down to Tate's. Now, it
happened one evening that Pefly's cage
door was left Open We sometimes LET him
walk about the room when he was very
good, as great treat. This evening we
suddenly missed him from the room, and
could not think where he had gone. We
all set to work and searched the house high
and low no Polly could we find. So at
last nay father left, as usual, to pay his visit
to our -neighbors, leaving US still looking
for our pet. What was his: surprise upon
turning the corner of the street to see Polly
quietly waddling down the middle of the
road, "Why, Polly" said he ~"where are
you goingf" Upon which, Master Poll
cooked his impudent little head on one
side, and looked up and said: "only going
down to Tate's."

DIR. W. c. PRnIPs's Stock AND FARM
In the last issue of the Daily . complete
Epedigree of the late stock importations
from Kentucky, made by DIR. Philips, were
published. He brought slx-year old stall
lion, Silent Friend, and three yearling
colts. These animals were selected and
purchased for DR.. Philips during the sum-
mer by Col. Bruce, of the Turf, Field and
Farm, and their superiors for blood cannot
be found in the United States. With thor
oughbreds already in his POSSESSIONS, and
these late importations, DR.. Philips can
boast of one of the very finest studs in the
United States. Silent Friend is magnif-
cent animal, and there is as much, royal
blood in his veins as in any animal in tn.
world. His presence in Texas win prove
of untold value to the turf. The farm of
DIR. Philips lies two miles north of Austin,
and is finely adapted for the growth Of fine
stock. 1t will be remembered that about
one year ago the Doctor brought out large
lot of thoroughbred cattle. He lost about
half of them from disease, but those left are
doing remarkably well, and are represents
,tiyes of some of the finest herds in the
United States. Complete success it 10 hoped
will attend DR.. Philips in his efforts to sdd
quality to the stock of this State.

brought them down. were extraordinary
Hood quietly remarked:
What he hit his history
What he missed his ms ste-y.
Anything more happily expressed il would
be difficult to discover. At the same house,
on another occasion, when Power, the

pose his health. Ate. enumeratiuv the
various talents possessed by that popular
comedian. he requested the company to oh
serve that such e combustion was re-

1T never rains but it po,ecTs.
In his last illness, when reduced almost
to a skeleton, be noticed a very large mus
tard poultice Mrs. Hood was making for
him, and exclaimed. ''Oh. Mary Mary !
that will be great deal of mustard to very
little meat"
J shortly before his death, being visited
by clergyman, " hose features, as we'll as
language, were more lugubrious than con-
selling, Hood looked up at him, compass
sionately, and said: "My dear sir, Pm
afrsid your religion doesn't agree with you"
His friend blanche says:
There seems to be $ mint In his mind, in
which the coming OF puns was necessarily
and almost unconsciously IN process, not
with the mere object of raising a laugh, but
because his marvellous command of language
enabled him to use words in every possible
sense in which they could be understood,
and he could not help playing upon them,
even in his most serious moods. For in
stance, in that patheticappeal to the beney-
olence Of. the public, on behalf of the widow
and children, of poor Elton, the actor who
was drowned on his passage from Leith to
Hull, in 1S43, after most touchingly de-
scribing the hfeless hand, idly playing with
the tangled weed, he concludes with paral-
lei between the dead and the living by i'm

break the heart Admirably delivered, as
heard it by Mrs. Sterling, the power of
the line told. upon the audience with in
creased effect from the play on the word,
which question if any other writer would
have hazarded under such circumstances.
The last pun that Hood uttered has often
been told, but it will bear repeating. When
very near his end, some friend spoke to him
consolingly of his approaching end, ''Never
mind, p he replied, II shall help some poor
