the Young Widow.

A census-taker, going the rounds
stopped at an elegant brick dwelling
house, the exact locality of which is no
business of ours. He was received by
a stiff, well-dressed lady, who could be
well recognized as widow OF some
wears standing. On learning the mis-
sion of her visitor the lady invited him
to take seat in the hall. Having ar
ranged himself into working position
he inquired for the number of persons
in the family OF the lady.
Eight" replied the lady, ''includ-
ing myself
VERY well-your age, madam"
"My age. SIR" replied the lady with
a piercing look. 81 conceive it is none
of your business what my age might
be. You're inqusitive, SIR
.'The law compels me madam, to take
the age of every person in the wardi 1t

"Well if the law compels you to ask
l presume it compels me to answer. L
am between thirty and forty"
81 presume TINT means tbirty-fivs."
"No sir; 1t means no such thing-l
am only thirty-three years of age"
every well, madam, quitting down
the figures, just as you say. Now for
the ages of the children, commencing
with the youngest, if you please"
Josephine, my youngest, Is ten

"Josephine-pretty name-ten.
"Minnerva was twelve last week"
"Minnerva-captivating-twelve."

Cleopatra Elvira- charming-fif-
teen."

"My oldest and only married daugh-
ter, Anna Sophia, is little over twen-
ty-five."
twenty-five did you say:"
~ es, sir. Is there anything remark
able in being of that age:"
We'll, no, | can't say that there is;
but is it not remarkable that you should
be her mother when you were only
eight years of ageg"
! About that time the census-taker was
seen running out of the house-why,

he ever pressed lady to give her exact

A ,criter in the London Journal asserts
that the FIBRE" or "silky lustre," ex-
hiblted in the fracture OF good iron, is
only the effect of the light reflected from
the inner surfaces of myriads of minute
cells exposed by the fracture, the form
of which cells, in their normal state, is
spherical, or nearly so, but becomes
changed in the process of rolling. That
the mechanical properties of tenacity,
ductility. etc., must greatly depend on
the perfection of this cell system, is ar
gued from the fact that a crystalline,
malleable iron does not show prisms in
fracture, but simply number of faces
or planes crossing the cells at right an
giles, cutting them off short. The pro-
cess of rolling iron into plates or sheets
does not obliterate these cells, but mere
lv modifies them, as they widen out un-
der pressure; the thin partitions become
laminated, and on the regularity of this
lamination the quality of the plate very
much depends. The cell system of cop
per is mora perfect than that of iron, a
result OF pouring the copper into the
moulds, but the cells are afterwad al
tered by the pressure in rolling, etc.,
but never destroyed.

AGRICUL TURE.

MARKETING CATTLE.-WhateNsr time
a lot of cattle may take to go to market,
they should never be Overdrlven.
There is great difference of management
in this respect among drovers. Some
like TO proceed upon the road quietly,
slowly, but surely, and TO reach the
market in placid, cool state. Others,
again, drive smartly along for some dis
tance, and then rest to cool awhile,
when the beasts will probably get chill
led and have a staring coat when they
reach their destination; while others
like to enter the market with their beasts
In an exclted state. imagining that they
then look gay: but distended nOstrlls,
loose bowels. and reeking bodies are no
recommendations TO a purchaser. Good
Judges are shy of purchasing cattle in a
heated state, because they do not know
how long they may have been In 1t,
and to cover any risk, will give at least
five dollars a head below what they
would have offered for them in cool
state. Some drovers have habit OF beat
ing the lot with stickwhile on the road.
This is censurable practice, as the
flesh, where it is thumped, will bear
red mark after the animal has been
slaughtered-ihe mark receiving the
appropriate name of bloOd-burn, and
the flesh thus affected will not take on
salt, and is apt TO putrefy. a touch
upon the shank, or any tendonous part,
when correction is necessary, is all
that is required; but the voice. In most
cases will answer as wei. The flesh
of oyerdriven cattle, when slaughtered,
never becomes properly firm, and their
tallow has soft, melted appearance.
\ few large oxen in one lot look best
in a market on position rather above
the eye of the spectator. When large
lot is nearly alike in size and appear
ance, they look best and most level on
a fiat piece of ground. Very large fat
oxen never look better than on the same
level with the spectator. An OK, to
look well should hold his head on a line
with the body. with lively ears. clear
eve, dewy nose. a well-licked hide, and
should stand firmly on the ground on
all his feet. These are all symptoms Of
high health and good condition.
Whenever an OK shifts his standing
from one foot TO another, he is foOt-sore,
and has been driven tar. Whenever
his head hangs down and his eyes water
he feels i'll at ease inwardly. When
his coat stares, he has been Overheated
some time, and has got a subsequent
chill. All these latter symptoms will
be much aggravated in cattle that have
been fed in barn.

much TO make butter, but when mixed

The meal, fed alone, passes directly in
to the Third stomach" without remas-
tication. The water the COW drinks
may increase the quantity of milk, but
it will not produce butter. Meal fed
with hay, cut fine and wet down togeth-
er, gives good returns. Do your cows
drink ice water in the winter, and with
rainbow backs stand shivering in the
cruel blast of fierce northeaster? They
will burn the dollar that might convert

pasture in SUNNI er? Then you neglect
to put dollar into the expense scale.
