the increase in bulk during the process IS
largely Of adipose matter. It is a curious
circumstance that during fattening, the
pro1eids, or heterogeneous compounds, IN
crease only about per cent, and the bone
material or inorganic substances only II
per cent.
The cost to farmer Of fattening an OK IS
much greater st the close Of the process
than at the commencement, that Is, increase
in bulk or dry weight at that period is much
more costly. If it costs cents q pound for
bulk, for the first month after poor animal
is put in the fattening stall, 1t will cost
cents the last month. If then farmer
consults his money interests, he will not
carry the increase in fat beyond certain
point, provided he can turn his partially
fatted animals to fair advantage. Farmers
have perhaps learned this fact from expert
ence and observation, and hence COMPARE

FLEETlNC JOYS.

Time goessin for funny freaks,
Mans toy he likes to play with;
Notice how he lines our cheeks,
Mark what glee he makes us gray with.
Pleasure comes to soothe our hearts;
Soon its radiance departs
Happy moments vanish quickly.
Surprising you by fate's decree
Love girl and long to greet her,
Don't the minutes seem to be-
Leaden- winged until you meet her!
When the hour arrives at last,
And all care away You Danish,
Then the tyrant travels f,st-
Happy moments quickly vanish!
Here upon this earthly ball
Joy awhile will MAKE us gayer,
But when sorrow give, IL call
Oftentimes she proves IL "stayer;;"
Hope, thou swiftly giid.st on
Fragrant are the flowers thou pickest;
Soon, alas, their bloom IS pone-
Happy moments fly ti.eqaickest!
Never mind, we needn't gr"al.;
Tear-drops shower-llke, refresh US;
After all, we're bound to own
Joy is like wett-heart- precious
Cast away regrets and signs,
Though our lcares beset us thickly,.
Happy moments let us prize,
Even though they vanish quickly!

POETRY
ONLY A FLOWER.

An old man with hoary head
Stood bending DER flower;
Noword lie spake, nor tear he shed,
Nor needed he the shower
That beat upon his aged form
He stood regardless OF the storm.
What was it in the flowers bright hue
That riveted his gaz4
Was it some loved one, fond and true,
Some friend Of by-gone days,
That it recalled unto his mind!
Some memry round his heart entwined.
Did it awake within his breast
The sound of some loved tone,
A Gear voice long since laid to rest
Beneath the church-yard stone?
Or did 1t speak OF JOY or woe
Now buried in the long ago!
He kneels upon the cold wet sand,
He plucks it from the spot;
He bears it witt a trembling hand
Into his humble cot
Here, Sail" he cries, 'tit's dinnsr-hour;
Make haste and boil this caulii1ower."

said to have been "copied from an old map
in the possessian Of the Governor of Heligo-

the size Of the island at three periods. In
A. d. 800 it is represented MS l2O miles IN
circumference: in A. d. 1900 as 45 miles;
in 1919 only ur miles. Since then II has
diminished to less than one third OF a mile

THE WIFE OF The PERIOD,

A blushing coupe-lately we'd
Had sought their Western home, tbs SAID,
Where the young husband, with his dear,
lsssayed to act the pioneer.
He hired no help himself to aid.
And she employed no kitchen maid;
Thus in careful prudent way,
Preparing for u rainy day.
The bride, with health and beauty blessed,
Was petted, idollzed, caressed;
The honey moon SO sWeetly sped,
1t hardly could be sung or sad.
But things grew mixed on table, Shelf,
The house seemed not to keepltsell;-
No place for this or that was tound;--
Things were promlcuous--p pitched around,
As in old bachelors halls, where Cam,
Chaos, and dirty dishes reign;
Where hose unmended, misery breed,
And bosom- buttons burst, secede
Where elbows, like ragged rhyme,
Forlornlv miss the ''stltch In tlme
Where cobwebs, dust, and timber lie,
Detestable rs printers pr
Where specks, and flies, and bugs abound,
And creeping things invade the ground.
Well--when the fond, bewid"red man,
With whom our story just began,
Awoke to STE how things appeared,
or how his home was engineered
Had week by week his linen drawn,l
Till every cleanly dud was gone;
W hen the famed garment Hood hath sung
The very last-was on hun hung,
He thought to gently hint desire
To be supplied with fresh attire,
So, bright ana early, out he creeps,
One morn, while Yet his darling sleeps;
Builds high the Rre-proceeds, anon,
TO put the pots, and kettles on
Filled with soft water IL the brlm.
This done, just Their, aecosting him,
His angel with her nightcap raised,
And looking earnest and amazed,
Exclaimed. as something were amiss-
"Why, husband. husband how is this
Dotelt re, precious-t tell me why
This strange performance meets my eye''
.sDsn't be alarmed, says he, Dear Rose,
But Unjust somehow have some cloes;
You see, b, Jove. there is a lack
The las, clean thing is on my lack.

but with the decline of the daguerreotype
process the manufacture of the chemical

1t seems proper that the local cele-
brations Of the Fourth Of July. 1876,
which will be held throughout the
land, should DO made to contribute to
permanent historical memorial Of the
celebration. Iu each county provision
should be made for the delivery Of an
address tracing the history of that par
ticu!ar community for the past century.
or from the time Of its settlement, mud
including sketch Of its growth, its
resources. industries. prospects, &c.
These addresses should be published
in q uniform size-that Of the Con.
gressioual documents for instancc-in
order tina. they may be bound together
by States. To competent persons the
preparation Of such addresses would
not be an unduly burdensomc task ;
but,in tho aggregate they would con-
s.itu,e an invaluable historical reposi.
tory such a. no nation has ever had
the opportunity to collect. Designa'
