Death of the First-Born.

s
 Ycung mother, he is gone! His dimplod cheek no moro will touch thy breast;
 No more the music tone Float from his lips, to thine all fondly pressed: His smile and happy langh ara lost to thee: Earth must his mother and his pillow be-
 His was the morning hour, And he hath passed in beauty from the day,
 Abud, not yet flower, Torn, in its sweetness, from the parent spray: The death-wind swept him to his soft repose, As frost, in spring-time. blights the early rose.
 Never on earth again VIII his rich accents charm the listening ear,
 Like some Eolian strain, Breathing at eyentide serene and clear; His voice is choked in dust and on his eyes s The unbroken seal of peace and silence lies.
 And from thy yearning heart, Whose inmoss core was warm with love for him,
 gladness must depart, And those kind eyes with many tears be dim; While lonely memories an unceasing train, VIII turn the rapture of the past Co pain.
 Yet, mourner. while the day Rolls like the darkness of funeral by,
 And hope forbids one ray To stream athwart the griefdiscolored sky: There breaks upon thy sorrows evening gloom trembling lustre from beyond the tomb.
 'Tis from the better land There. bathed in radiance that around them springs
 Thy loved one's wings expand; As with the choiring ehsrubim he sings. And all the glory of that God can see, Who said. on earth, to children, Come to me-"
 Mother, thy child is blessed; And though his presence may be lest to thee,
 And vacant leave thy breast, And missed, a sweet load, from thy parent knee: Though tones familiar from thine ear have passed, Thou1t meet thy frst-born with his Lord st last Wills Gaylord Clark.

COOKIN GMEAT BY COLD.

Those who have handled a piece of congealed mercury, which freezes at a temperature of forty degrees below zero, will know JnaJ rn1 ocusatiou is s1milep to that produced by holding coal of fire in the hand. In other words, intense heat and intense cold bear striking resem- blance to each other in their effects. A Hungarian chemist, whose speciality con- sists of finding out the best methods of preserving meats, has made practical use of this analogy in the action of heat and cold, and partially cooks his meats by subiecting them to the action of intense cold. Strange to say, the meat subjected to this low temperature is reduced to q condition similar to that produced by heat. The material must be perfectly fresh, and after being exposed to tenn perature of thirty-three degrees below zero. must be carefully sealed in tins. It is found when opened to preserve re- markable freshness, and to be in a more satisfactory condition for use than has hitherto been attained by any other method for the same purpose.

CRUSHED OATs.-The crushed oats of England are certainly the most admira- ble feed for horses that can be. With us this article is practically unknown. They use, in New York and vicinity, what pur- ports to be one-third sound corn and two thirds sound oats, ground together. Were it truly this, it would be excellent feed, but it is notorious that. not only is second quality of corn. nsed,. but the siftings of the corn meal, consisting of the bran, and often bits of cob with some good meal, coarsely ground, are used, instead of mixing the grain and grinding it, as should be done. Then too, the oats are the lightest and poorest that come to market, and often full of dirt and grit from having been lodged while growing, or from laying too long in the swath be- fore binding up. From whatever cause oats become unmarketable, it does not prevent their being used for ground feed"
 In England oats are crushed by hand in machines not larger than a root slicer. One large, smooth-faced wheel, with . face about three inches wide, reVolves in close proximity to a smaller one, six inches in diameter, and about the same face as the larger one. A hopper per- mits the discharge of the oats between these two wheels, which, rolling together. crush each grain as fat as a wafer. As they drop from the crusher, the plump oats are nearly circular; those less plump elliptical, and the few false ker- nels in the samples I examined were fattened and broken, but showed no white flour. and no definite form. In one ordinary sample, which weighed forty four pounds to the bushel almost every oat was fattened into white, foury disk, nearly or quite as large as an old fashioned silver three cent piece. Oats thus crushed may be fed as they are, and not one will pass the digestive or. gans unacted upon, as so often happens with whole oats. They may be mixed with cut or chaffed hay, wet or with steamed fodder of any kind. They go decidedly further. Those who figure most closely are the most positive in their approval of them from motives of economy solely, and uniformly assert their superiority to ground oats, even though they were to grind them them selves. ts. t.aE rlf eF
 oat scrushers will certainly find their way to popularity among us, for with our light weight oats they ara mora im- portant than where the heavy oats of Europe can be obtained-oats weighing forty to forty-seven pounds to the bushel are not uncommon there, while here thirty-two pounds is legal bushel by weight, and the measured bushel Of- tener falls below than it goes above that weight. Many city dealers sell ninety pound bags for three bushels.-AmericGa AgrieGltErist. '-.s.

MAS sACREs IN THE SOUTH SEAS.

On July 4th, the schooner Dancing
 Waue arrived at Sydney from the Solo, mon Group, under charge of the mate of the bark Sydney, with the news of a massacre which had besn perpetrated by the South Sea natives, Captain Harrison and all hands, excepting one on board the Daneing Wace, having been murdered. The following are the particulars of the outrage :- On April 22d last. the Danctng Wave called at Florida Island to obtain native labor for Somerset. A number of natives were engaged and brought on board, and there were also number of others who had received toma- hawks and other articles from the Cap- tain in barter. Without warning, the natives rose upon the crew, attacking them with tomahawks: Captain Har- rison was almost instantly killed, together with some of his crew, while the chief
 officer and steward, after being wounded, cached the cabin, where they shot them Board),. jumped overheard and got to Savau, forty miles of, in boat, when the vessel was recovered by the crew Of the bark Sydney, and it was then found that the natives had plundered her. It is stated that the natives took two heads and one body ashore. Broad, before es- eaping, shot several of his assailants, and several natives from another island en- gagged on, board were also killed. Subse- quent to the receipt of this intelligence, Commodore Hoskins received communi- cation from Consul Layard, at Noumea, dated June 17th, to the effect that he had just heard from Captain Lind, owner of the LaMrG Lind, ;, that he fell in with the Rev. MT. Inglis in the missionary vessel Daysring, who reported that an English vessel called the May Queen or MGry Quinn, 8 labor vessel from Queensland, had run ashore at Tanna, at place call. ed Vagoos, that the crew fired at the natives, who attacked them in return, burned the vessel, and then killed and ate the crew. @ 'a@'A

II1oHF1EID. CONN THURsDAY OCTOBER > 1876

at one time more than another, I have tried to exert my nautical judgment and forethought, it was then. We saw other lights; but the pirates supposed them to be upon the ocean coast, along which they believed themselves sailing. At length, requested. them to take in the light sails and the coarses. This com pleted, called out-and it was with a dreadful thrill at my heart, assure you, -"Let go the top-sail halyards, and clew up!"
 It was done; and I could see that a dark bank was rising under the lee bow.
 'Stand by to let go anchor" I shouted, "while I bring her up in the windr' -
 clapped the helm hard down, while the four pirates ral to obey my last di- rection. Oh, heaven how my blood seemed to suffocate me! They were all away forward It must be now, if ever. A hundred times that day had glanced at the yawl, and the tackles that held it; and now, quickly, but with a steady hand, sprang to the davits-falls. First the larboard, then the starboard, Iseized; but was careful to lower away with both simultaneously, that the boat might not be swamped: Then clapping my hands' on the tafrail, I dropped into her, un- hooked the takes, and with my hands against the brig, pushed with force that sent the yawl shooting from under the coteunr. At this moment, I heard the anchor go overheard. l had just time to grasp an oar, and commence .sculling with all my might when the pirates ran aft. Bacalardo's tones rang fierce and loud. His horrid Spanish oaths might at another time have cur dled my blood; but now had him upon the hip.
 ''Ahoy the fortr' I shouted; "ahoy there the fort r For we'll I knew the dark bank so close at hand.
 The voice that answered was the most blessed sound ever heard. It was from one of the United States sentinels. and l was gliding under the walls at old Point Comfort! Escape for the pirates was i'm. possible, for the strong easterly wind must preclude all hope of getting to sea, while the fort could have disabled the brig in an instant. A boat, with armed soldiers, now boarded her. Three of the pirates were taken into custody, but Bacalardo wa, found dead in the cabin. Dismay, disappointment, and the certainty of his doom, had impelled him to draw his Spanish knife across his throat. The other when brought to trial, had the effrontery to profess them selves innocent. l'acalardo had duped them-Bacalardo had done all-they had injured no one; but the United States Court thought differently, and they were hung at Norfolk.

TURKEY RAISING. Poultry Journal has this advice on this subjsct:
 The great and only secret in raising turkeys is to keep them dry and warm. They must, at the same time, have such grass, bugs, flies and gravel as they would pick up if running at large. Make pen of any old boards, not less than two and one-haf feet high tmore would be better,) and so tight that the chicks cannot get out through 1t. in . corner of the meadow, orchard, calf pas ture, or house yard. Sixteen feet square will be large enough for brood of ten or fifteen, and half dozen such broOds, may be kept in a place sixteenfeet wide, and forty or fifty feet long. Let the chicks remain in the nest twelve to twen- ty-four hours after they are matched, then put them in the pen towariD eeen- ing, after the heat of the sun has passed, and long enough bafore evening to per- init them to explore their new quarters and get tired before dark. A little be. fore "roosting time," give them liberal feed of bread soaked in milk, and hard boiled eggs chopped fine, throwing in some coarse grain at the same time for the old hen. After disposing of this they will go quietly to roost under the old one, and remain there until daylight. ''So far so good" but now comes the point at which most of the failures are made. The turkey is emphatically an "early bird," and wanderer. and before you are aware of it, the hen will hop over the low fence, and try to, coax the chicks after her for their breakfast. In order to prevent this, you must get Wp i1 the morning, and have ready for both the hsn and chicks bountiful feed, after partaking of which the hen will again coverthe little ones, and keep them warm until after the dew is gone.' Feed them at least four times day for few days, after which three times will be sufficient; supply them with fresh water daily; let them remain in this pen until they are old enough to get out themselves. and if you do not raise more than twice five out of fifteen hatched," you will have worse success than have. The hen will fly out often during the day, and use every effort to get the chicks to fol- low her, but finding they do not come to her, she will return to them. An old door, or bit of wide board, leaned up against one side of the pen, and fastened so that it cannot fall down and kill any of them, will afford Q shelter from the sun by day, and dew by night.
