A Wedding Party Postponed.

There was large gathering aiken
nebunkport, Me-, the other day, to wit
ness the swell wedding Of the season,
being the marriage of President Rob
bins Of Waterville university to Miss
Mott, of New Haven. Friends from
Connecticut and Massachusetts, were in
attendance. and a sumptuous wedding
feast had been prepared. The officiat-
ing clergyman was about to tie the knot
when the bridegroom discovered that
he had failed to- comply with the law of
the state in that he had not filed his in
tention Of marriage with the town
clerk. There was no way out Of the
difficulty but by postponing the we'd
ding, which. was done The wedding
feast was eaten all the same, and the
next day the couple went to Massachu-
sets, where, they could be married with
out delay of five days, which would
have been necessary had they remain

4 DINNER AND Il kISS.

i have brought your dinner, father, >
The blacksmith daughter said.
AS she took from her arms Kettle
And lifted its. shining lid.
There not any pie or pudding.
50 will give you this
And upon his toil-wOrn forehead
she left the childish kiss.
The blacksmith took Oft his apron
And dined in happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food;
While all about him were VISIONS
Full of prophetic bliss:
But he never thought Of magic
In his little daughter kiss.
While she with her kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away,
Stopping at sight of squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay.
And thought how many shadow
OF life and fate we would miss,
If always our frugal dinners
Were seasoned with kiss.

ACREAGE REQUIRED FOR A COW.-FiOW
much land is required for the support
of a COW? This question depends for
an answer so much on circumstances
of the soil as. not to admit of very
definite answer. In a dairy competi-
tion.in Jefferson county, N. Y, in 1857,
the, first prize dairy, Of sixteen. COWS,
was kept on thirty acres of land; the
second premium dairy, of eighteen
COWS, on sixty acres; the third dairy, Of
thirteen COWS, On thirty acres; the
fourth of tMenty-nine COWS, on fifty five
acres; the fifth Of twenty-eight COWS, on
ninety acres. Mr.. Schulz, o. Little
Falls, n. Y, estimates that the land in
pasturage and hay requisite for the sup
port of a COW is three acres; and this is
the estimate of Mr.. Darlington for mod
,eratelY good dairy farms in England.
In. Belgium, ten acres of land support
two COWS, one heifer and one yearling
or calf; but, when the calves are sold off
young, and COWS in full milk are only
kept, the proportion is two COWS IN seven
and one-half acres. Colman estimates
three acres of pasture as requisite for a
COW in Berkshire county, Mass, while
in some towns two acres Of pasture are
sufficient. Mr.. Farrington, in the re-
port of the Am erican Dairymen' asso-
| citation, thinks that on the average four
acres are required per COW for SUNNI er
and winter keep: while Mr.. x. A. VIII
lard thinks that in Herkimer county,
n. r., one and one-half or two acres OF
pasture per COW will answer, and in
some exceptional cases one acre
