A Word for Pork.

Why run a theory into the ground, as
anti-pork writer's seem bent on doing?
Much damage would be done if a whole
sale disgust with pork was raised through
out the country. What are the facts in
regard to pork There is no animal
slaughtered that affords omany kinds of
savory food. Shall we dispense with the
delicate tenderloin and sausage, the Fus-
cious spare-rib, the juicy breakfast ba-
con, and above all the sugar-cured ham
from a well fattened pig, when it is noto-
rious that the most robust part OF the
community habitually eat pork? The
farm laborer who can secure a COW, and
with the help of a good garden patch fat
ten a porker, has the foundation for sup
porting a small family. Shall We deprive
him of this by making him believe pork
is poison? We are indebted to the stur
dy ~pork-eaters Of New England for the
settlement OF Western New York; who
every Saturday dined on pork and beans
came into the wilderness and made a ia
BILE OF a maple stump, on which they
sliced their cold, boiled pork, which, witt
the wheaton bread and vegetables, wa
almost their entire diet. We may cal
an article of diet unclean, but that doe.
not make itso. Itisnot among the pork
eaters. as a rule that we find the victims
of Bright's disease, liver complaint anc
palsy. We must seek for other causes
than pork to account for indigestion ant
other ailments now so common. Their
has been too much written against porl
as food.

Birthday Sunrise.

The friends and relatives, of Mrs. Hen

Ter, celebrated her 50th birthday by Civ
ing her a nice little surprise on the 10Th
inst, at their residence four rifles south
of Eaton. A few days previous she was
persuaded to visit some relativesin Mont
gomery county, and on her return home
as she entered the parlor, there to her
establishment stood upwards of fifty
friends and relatives, ranging in gefrom
one to lightweight years. This for a
while seemed to be too much for her, but
as so many,voices rang out, "This is your
birthday" she quickly recovered and a
general hand shaking then took place.
Finally quiet and order was restored and
the door of the large dining hall was
thrown open and Mr.. and Mrs. Shidcler
were invited to take the head of the Ia
BILE, and right here is where the old Sem
atnr got his surprise, for the table was
fairly grooming with the weight OF a doz.
en- OF more kinds OF cake and other good
things which country girls know how to
get up. He quickly took in the situation
by calling on the writer, who boasts OF
his forty-six years experience in tearing
down chicken frames and unloading ia
bles. After dinner and some nice sing
ing and playing upon the organ by the
young ladies, ali seemed to be willing to
return to their homes, feeling that the
day had been pleasantly spent and wish
ing Mrs. S. many more such happy birth
days. TOM j.
