playing a marvellous degree of do
cility. Intraetible, rapacions, and
selfish as we are wont to esteem
this animal, no other is more ten
der Of her youns or more resolute
in their defense.
Hogs are not insensible OF natti-
raj affections; they are gregarious
and social, warming one another
with their bodies in the cold wealth
or; and when assembled in herds,
manifesting the utmost sympathy
for one anOther's suffcrings.
Should one give a signal Of dis
trcss, all within hearing rush to
his assistance; they gather round
their comrade and iiercely assail
the larger animals that have injur-
ed him. In Calibria, where they
are grazed in herds, the keeper
uses Il kind Of a bagpipe, which,
when at sunset they are driven
homew ard, instantly collects them
from all parts. In certain villages
there is a common swine-herd in
the morning, when he sounds his
horn, all the pigs rush forth and
follow him to one place Of feeding;
in the evening they return under
his guidance, aud when they reach
the village each rnshes to his own
sty without mistake. In some Of
the Southern United States it is
usual to turn the pigs into the
woods, but to collect them together
once u week by giving them salt
and maize, or other favorite food.
At the very hour they are to re-
ceive their weekly present they re-
assemble from all parts, without u
stragglcr. They have the sagacity
always TO discover the food that
suits them-iicycr being like some
animals whose senses are bluntcd
by domestication. poisoned by the
plants they find in the wild state.
Their exquisite sense Of smell and
touch direct to earth nuts and
other roots, acorns, and the like
which arc found buried IN the
ground. They are conscious Of
an impending storm, carry straw
as II to shelter themselves from its
violence. They are agitated
when tho wind blows violently,
screaming and running to the sty
for shelter, which has given rise
to this singular saying Of the
country people, that "pigs see the
wind" The explanation is that
the hog breads wetness and cold
andis cminontly sensitive to CON-
ing changes of the weather.

A Good Word for the Hog,

Prof. Law writes of the genial
hog: lie is one of the pachyder-
matous. ihick-skinned animals, of
which the existing genera are the
elephant, the rhinoceros, the hip
popotamus, the hyrax, the tapir,
and the hog. The elephant, which
once spread In countless herds to
polar regions, is now confined to
the woods Of the tropics; the rhi-
noceros, yet more rare, Is limited
to the hottest regions Of Ipdia and
Africa; the hippopotamus. one OF
the hugest Of living quadrupcds, is
confined to the larger rivers OF
Africa; the tapir merely fingers In
some Of the forests OF inter.t,opi.
cal countries; but the hog survives
the revolutions of countless ages
aud is reproduced in counties,
multitudcs IN every region Of tn,
earth. However groveling and
mean may appear his habits when
reduced to the degradation of slav.
cry, yet he Is not destitute of sa.
gacity nor unsusceptible of attnch.
