Raise Your Own Meat.

Get few sows and raise your
own meat this year. 1t Is surprising
how soon a few sows will stock up
a farm with an abundance of meat.
Hog raising on a large scale may
not be convenient to every Southern
Farmer, but every family can raise
enough meat for use every year, and
even few pounds to sell il neces-
esary. The early maturing sort are
best In this. that they are easiest
fattened, and are ready FOR killing
whenever desired. Some prefer the
Berkshire and Essex and others
still the Poland China. The latter
are especially desirable where the
object il TO keep them beyond one
season and to increase the weight.
Get any sort preferred, and give
them proper attention. and then you
will be perfectly unconcefned swheth-
er the price ofporl goes up on down
at hog-killing time.

He owned his passion, so did She
Both loved with great intensity. lo
Her father worked tract OF land, s4i-- %
- The soil Of which was mostly sand,
While his paternal parent ran
A saw mill for another man. r5
They toiled with zeal, but labor's call
Brought little of the stwherewithaI,"
And our young lovers mourned that fate
Imperatively bade them wait
One day Johns father said, ''my son,
Tomorrow you'n be twenty-one,
And what you earn from this time through
OF course win all belong to you,
Now Mr.. Bronson wants hand
To help him cultivate his land
And I've been thinking that you'd best
Light out and give your pap rest!'

When John arrived and saw her there
He tossed his hat high in the air,
While Maud ran out WITH Joyous face
And clasped him in fond embrace.
Old Bronson saw them from the road

Now, Bronson's wife was dead, and he
Was after Maud himself, you see. r
Alas, for John-alas for Maud,
The jealous Bronson hemmed and hawed,
And finally compelled them both
To take solemn, iron-elad oath,
That while they worked for him they'd act,
Like strangers-it's solemn fact!
Then John went of to plow the soil,
And Maud resumed her lonely toll. 81

For Bronson made him toe the mark
John grew round shouldered, gaunt and thin,
And loOsing heart, he took to gin.
But Maud, beneath old Bronson's care,

And when one day he said, EIny pet,
Wilt thou be mine? ?" she sighed, ''thou bet ~

No Dogs Allowed on the Cars.

1t happened the other day on the Le-
high Valley Railroad. The train had
just left Easton and the conductor was
making his first round, when he observ-
ed a small white dog with bushy tail
and bright black eyes sitting cozilyr on
the seat beside young lady so hand
some that it made his heart roll over
like a lopsided pumpkin. But duty was
duty, and he remarked in his most dep
recatory manner:
I'm very sorry, madam, but it's
against the rules to have dogs in the
passenger cars"
e Oh, my! is that so?" and she turned
up her lovely brown eyes at him be-
seechingly. What IN the world win
do? 1 can't throw him away. He's a
Christmas present from my aunt"
By no means, miss. Wen put him
in baggage-car, and he'll be just as
happy as a robin in spring"
What put my nice white dog in a
nasty, stuffy, dusty baggage-car ~
"rm awful sorry, miss, do assure
you; but the rules of this company are
as inflexible as the laws of the Medes
and them other fellows, you know. He
shall have my overcoat to lie on, and
the brakeman shall give him grub and
water every time he opens his mouth. +"
&C just think it's awful mean, so j do
and l know somebody will steal it, SO
they will" and she showed half notion
to cry that nearly broke the conductors
heart; but he was firm, and sang out to
the brakeman. who was playing a solo
on the stove:
Here, Andy, take this dog ovel, to
the baggage-car, and tell 'em to take
! just the best kind of care of him.
The young lady pouted, but the brake
man reached over and picked the canine
up as tenderly as though it was a two
weeks old baby; but as he did SO a
strange expression came over his face,
like a wave Of cramp colic, and he said
hastily to the conductor:
Here, you just hold him a minute
till put this poker away" and he 'rot
ted out the car door and held on to the
brake-wheel, shaking like a man with
the ague.
The conductor no sooner had his hslnds
on the dog than he looked around for .

Wh-wh-why, this is a worsted dogr
Yes, sir, said the little miss, de

more noticeable for its illustrations than
its letter-press; it contains several most
interesting and fresh Genoan sketches
Porte Crayon's admirable pictures, ac-

paper, will be appreciated by his numer-
Gus admirers. The article by General
Egbert L. Viele on the Knickerbockers
will claim local attention from its SUBJ
