Nj. Durham first took the floor and an

traction of the currency.
MI. Bright spoke upon the reconciliation
OF the silver dollar, of which he was earnestly
IN favor; He commended that the demonetiZa-
tiOn OF the silver dollar was a violation of the
constitution, and fraud upon the people and
legislation of the United States and a fraud
upon pOsterity. The very manner of the pass

stiff and solemn serious man may be u
model of integrity and purity, though the
gay Bohemian grlns at HIM. The 30

dom saves enough to buy himself the cof-
flu for which he makes himself prematurey
ready. The business man, whom Others
think creature of dollars and cents, doubt
less fought III his youth very Apollyon
OF disc engagement, and Is secretly more
tender hearted and charitable than he
dare let the world know.
From this self-con,ancd and unretincd
person you often hear excellent homely
truths and honest sentiments. This eie.
giant creature, who seems t. live TO he
pampered, proves herself strong and stead

Cattle Melons.

They have been energetically discuss
ing the merits and dement's of cattle
melons, for some time past, in the Lon
d"n AgI Gazette. Mr.. A. b. Allen, of
New York, presumes these are what we
call pumpkins and squashes, and he nc
cordingly sends n communication to the
above paper on their culture, and use
from which We take the following: Frost
kills the vine, the pumpkins then cease
growing, and the farmers commence feed
ing them beautifully to all kinds of ami
mails, cut up raw usually, but OCCASION
ally boiled, and a little maize or other
meal or bran mixed with them, for the
commencement of fattening stock for the
shambles. Pumpkins have II considerable
number of seeds within them, and these,
if fed in too large quantity, sometimes
produce diabetes; but in well-bred stock,
like Short-Horns, or high grades, Berk-
shires aud other good pigs, l have never
found an excessive flow of urine to come
from feeding pumpkins, which l have
been accustomed to give them plenti-
fully from the lat of August to the fore
part OF December. Ii the seeds should
be found hurtful, they are easily scoope1
out and thrown on to the manure heap.
They will not endure II freeze quite so
we'll as sugar beet.. They begin to de-
cay soon after ripeniny, aud all such, ON
the first appearance of Il single small
spot OF rot on the rind, should be imme-
diately cut up and fed. BY selecting
these, others may be kept on sound for
feeding into December. In England,
where frost is less severe than in Ameri-
ca, they might he kept all winter, proba-
bly,. 1t is best to house them on dry
ground or plank floor, under an open
shed, or wel-aired roof, to keep them
clear of rain or frost; but many let
them lie in heaps out in the field, or only
cover them with few maize stalks,
coarse hay, or brush, and in this way
they keep sound pretty late in Novem-
Der, in the latitude of 40 degrees. Pump
kins are of swedish taste, and rs nu-
tritous probably in our dryish climate as
turnips or mangels, but | doubt whether
they would be es much so in the cooler
and moister climate of England, aud
when beginning to feed these, the same
caution should be exercised rs you now
do in regard to turnips aud other roots.
Some liLseed meal ought to go with
them, and the animals kept well sailed.

HerOism in Humble Life.

The following story OF heroism in hum
BILE life, and in circumstances by no means
calculated to inspire romantic feelings of
devotion, is not surpassed by any occur
renee that we call to mind in the
history of princes and Kingdoms. Moth
ing but real greatness of heart, combined
with the most tender sympathy, can &C
count for an act which is almost without
a parallel.
A common sewer Of great depth had
been opened at Noyon, for the purpose of
repair, and was carelessly left unprotected
during the night. Four men, passing
that way in the dark, fell in, and it WAS
near midnight before their perious sit
uation became known. Among all who
crowded to the opening, not one was found
courageous enough to descend to the AS
sistance of the unfortunate wrctches, who
appeared already in Il state of suiocstion
from the poisonous vapor they were com
PEELED to breathe. The wives and chill
dren of the men and women in vain be-
sought the bystanders for aid, until Cath
crime Vasseur, the duu 5hter of French
peasant, and at that time only seventeen
wears of age, appeared on the scene.
Moved by sympathy, and careless of the
danger to herself, the young girl insisted
On being lowered into the sewer, and
having taken rope with her for that
purpose, she succeeded in fastening it
around two of the men, and, assisted by
those above, she had the happiness of re-
storing them to their wives and fami lies.
Again she descended, and now her breath
begun to fail her. She succeeded, how
ever, in fastening the rope around the
body of third man, and in faintng
condition had sufficient presence OF
mind to knot up the end with her own
luxurant tres,es. We may imagine the
establishment of the dastardly fellows
above when they drew the man to the
surface, and found the oil but inanimate
body Of Catherine swinging by her hair
to the end of the rope. Fresh air and
stimulants soon restored the brave girl,
and the third man lived also, the fourth
persisted.
So great was the admiration excited by
Catherine Vasseur's devotion, when the
news spread through Noyon. that n sol
emn TIE Deum WAS ordered by the bishop,
and the members of the corporation
marched in procession to the church.
Nor WAS this all. The Duke of Orleans,
the Bishop of Foycn, and the magis-
trates. rendered her the public thanks of
the town, and she was presented with a
civic crown, and an emblematic medal
commemorative Of her heroism and self
devotion.

WHITEwAsH FOR POULTRY HOUSES
Without y free use of whitewash no poul-
try breeder can EXPECT to keep his fowls
healthy for any length OF time, and to II
neglect of this can he attributed many of
the di>appointments and much Of the loss
experienced by amateurs, who do not
realize until they have paid dearly for
the experience that cleanliness is one OF
the first principles of success in POULTRY
keeping, and that lime, in different tolm-,
is an Invaluable agent in promoting clean
illness in poultry houses and amongst
fowls. Where it can be done without too
much expense, we would advise per sons,
in building their poultry houses to use
planed boards-at least planned on the in
side-in preference to rough ones, for it
is far easier to keep the fowl-house clean
when smooth boards are used, while the
lice and other vermin cannot SO readily
find a lodging place. AS "a preventive is
cheaper and better than cure, we would
advise those who build poultry house
,o give it good whitewashing both in
side and out, before the fowls are let in
side To make the whitewash still more
distastetul to the vermin, which have such
a taste for poultry, mix small quantity
of carboic acid with the wash, stir it we'll
until it dissolves, and then apply. 1t is
