FARM AND HOME
Light for Cattle.

quire light in the daytime A horse
kept for months in a dark stable would
be liable to become blind. In regard to
light pig-pens, a writer says that two
sows having filters on the 18th and 22d
Of January, respectively, were kept in
two rather dark, but warm, temporary
sites, and had to occupy them till about
the middle of the month of April, when,
for each SOW with litter, one of the per-
manent sites was opened by selling the
occupants. At that time the pigs which
had been kept in the dark temporary
sites proved to be less lively than, and
much inferior in weight and size to
those Of any Of the litters raised in the
less warm but well-lighted permanent
sites, Notwithstanding that the difference
in age was very small, and that food and
care had been the same in every respect.
One of the litters born on the 18th of
January, which had accidentally the best
lighted sty, though situated in the north
west and consequently the coldestcorner
of the frame building, exhibited the
most rapid growth, and the litter born
on the 18th of January, which had the
darkest sty, had made the poorest.
Green Crops.
Agricola, in his Highland Farm Pa
pers in the Enquirer, says: "The
amount of green food that could be
grown on an acre Of land, MANFRED as it
should be with the manure of forty hogs,
would astonish the farmer who has never
tried to see what he could do in this
line. l weighed several selected stalks of
green corn taken from one of nv fields
this merning, and found them to weigh
from five to eight pounds each. Now,
surprising they average five pounds each
(and | believe | have an acre that will
do this), and two and a half stalks to the
hill, as ordinarily laid off, we have
about 100 hills to the acre. This
would give $3.50 stalks, and at five
pounds each would make 33, $50 pounds,
or over. Is tons of green stalk that
would all be available either for food or
manure. With plenty of rich manure,
two or three crops can be grown on the
land in a year. For instance, after the
rye was cut a crop of beets could be
sown; after the oats, corn sowed; after
the cutting of the first corn, miilet;
and after cutting of the later corn, rye
for the next spring could be sown; and
so the land could be occupied ali the
time, growing richer. Where there was
land enough to admit of it, it would be
a good plan to raise a crop of small grain
on the land MANFRED and seed it with
clover, to be cut for the hogs in May of
the next year, and then plowed and put
into corn for late feeding. l doubt if
any of us have an idea Of what could be
done with a small piece of land managed
in this way.

Love-. P,,nul Dream.

Love ut first sight 10 regarded by
some skeptics ~ something utterly out
OF reason, one OF the lmpossibllltIea
that cannot DO, and aS a matter OF fact,
TO be forever discarded an a fanced
dream OF passion, myth not entitled
TO the least oredence. Yet their boast.
cd philosophy has, within the last
week, been roiuted by case of true,
ardent aud unadulterated love al first
sight, that has evlnced itself Ia such
form as to iorevermore put to flight
the erroneous idea. During the per-
formance OF Miss Ganevieve Rogers,
supported by the Aiken troupe, In this
clty, n prominent limb OF the law was
among the many Of our citizens who
went to SEQ the noted personfer
OF Maud Nader, and 40 amitten
was this disciple OF Lycurgus, who had
ever held for naught the charms OF the
fair sex, that he, to the unbounded
Amusement of his gentlemen friends,
fell there and then head-over heels In
love with the fair actress. They were
astounded no little, hot that the object
OF his new born passion seemed un-
worthy OF his love, but that such
stoical heart could be 30 suddenly and
powerfully awakened into love, and
bound down before the shrine OF
beauty-a heart that they had been
wont to regard as impervlous to
all womanly charms He was frantic,
while they We're alarmed at the earnest
and lavishing tributes he paid her In
words Of wild eulogy, He was bent on
having an interview with the object
of his alteration at all hazards, and
failing In his purpose was plunged
into the deepest gloom, being at loss
what to do to gain the desired end.
Yet love, ingenious love, devises means
that are calculated to surmount oil OBJ.
stacles that may present themselves.
She, whose beauty filed his soul, and
which seemed to permeate the very
air which he breathed, was all the
while unconscious of the fact that she
was the idol OF new and phrenzled
love, keeping her room and having
her meals sent to her, as 10 the custom
with many actresses of note. Though
proud as Lucifer, yet the exigences OF
his passionate love prevailed, and he
to bride the waiter who car
ried her meals to her room, to allow
him to perform that office. Failing in
this, he made application to the pro-
prietor, who In turn ooldly refused TO
grant his beseeching request. Failing
upon every hand 1t appeared as though
a frost had fallen into the summer Of
his heart killing and chilling the
young passion, and now he walks the
streets an object of unrequited and
bafiied love.

Summer MONDAY Dream.
The leaves are still--the breezes hushed-
Or sing drowsy number,
And all throughout the dreamy-day
The golden hours slumber.
The ripples idly lapse along
Beneath the noontide cleaning;
Oh, sure the drowsy time. a
Was made alone for dreaming!
Within my quiet chamber floats
A slumberous breath of roses,
And in the softly shaded room,
Silence itself reposes;
And liquid lusters on the wall,
Cool, ripping waves resemble,
As to and fro, with motion slow,
The leafy shadows tremble.
a sense of silence and repose-
Of slow and tranquil motion,
A murmur, as of sleeping winds
Upon a sleeping ocean;
And softly Ger my senses steals
A luxury Elysian,
And all delights of drowsy sense
Are mingled in my vision.
Oh, chiding voices, wake me not,
Nor turn my rhyme to reason;
For life is mingled work and play
And each must have its season.
The winter-time for studies toll,
The spring for pleasures scheming-
Autumn for the poets thought,
And The summertime for dreaming.

In the Jaws Of an Alliga-
tor

The New Orleans Democrat
says: "At Lake Charles in the
Parish of Calcasieu, a few days
since, most exciting scene was
witnessed by a number of people
on the shore. Some lads, among
whom a boy named VIM. Haskell,
were in bathing, when the atten-
ton of all vas attracted by the
cries of the latter, and an alliga.
tor was seen swimming in the d.
rection of him. The little boy,
not perceiving the approach of
saurian, Owed and just as be
reached the surface, the open
jaws received him. The alIiga-
tor drove his teeth almost through
the boys skull, making several
wounds in the scalp three inches
in length. The boys comrades
rushed into the water ard began
loud outcry, when the alligator
let 60 his hold and disappeared.
The little fellow although serious,
ly injured, will probably live."

Britain. If anything more thar
its record were needed to show
the shooting world that they
must use the Sharps guns here.
after to stand any chance, i
strikes me this episode furnish
es it. a
On Tuesday last occurred
what was known as the Esprit
of the Times" match, for prizes
aggregating $1,000 in gold and
the championship of the world.
1t was open to all comers, and
in view of the large number of
high scores made the previous
week was q very exciting con-
test. There were seyenty-nine
entries, embracing almost all the
best riflemen in the world. 1t
was fully expected that Bruce,
Blydenburg or Selph would win
the highest honor, but the fates
turned up q new man for the
$500 prize in the person of
Washburn of Connecticut. Bly,
denburgh came second, Selph
fifth and Bruce nowhere. This
match practically closes the RI
fe season of 1877, the most ex-
citing one ever known.
After vainly endeayoring to
swap his knowledge of the un-
sayory OF the Ring for his lib
erty, Tweed is now voluntarily
telling the whole story to the
Aldermanic Committee Of in
vestigation. He is pouring hot
shot into Tammany and a good
many other places. When he
gets through talking and the
victims commence replying we
are likely TO have what the
Dutchman calls "bIaindy fun"
1t was a surprise and a SEN
sation on Wednesday last when
the Democratic State Conven-
ton nominated General Nc
Clellan for Governor. The tu-
multuous enthusiasm which his
name woke in the convention
shows how the ''little McCY' of
olden times has been remem-
bered by the people through
good and evil report. He is a
clean-handed, scholarly and prac-
tical man, and so universally re-
spected that none but favorable
comments on his nomination
and certain election are heard
from any quarter. RADIx.
