Wanted-.-A Breed OF Pigs With
Meat on Them.

We like to see pen full of nice, fat, clean
porkers. We are fond of pork, fresh or
salt, and are not afraid to eat it, notwith-
standing the solemn warnings of Sylvester
Graham, who probably died for the lack of
something to grease his ribs. He would
not eat fat or butter, and as cod liver oil had
not then been adopted in their place as a
so-caled medicine he had to die of the fat
hater's isease--consumption
But there may be too much of good
thing. We have been told that we raised
the latest pig in town last season-and yet
we were not happy, for he was hardly any
thing but fat. The introducers of new
breeds have gone on "improving" the
swine until they are about all fat, with
scarce muscle enough TO hold the fat TO
gether and carry it to the feeding trough
three times day. Now we think it is il
order to call for an improvement in thu
other direction. Keep your breeds of fa
hogs, if you like, for the benefit Of the pit
and doughnut eaters; but give us at leas
one breed capable of yielding the good thicl
spare-ribs, the meaty shoulders and ham
and the streaked pork of auld lang syne
And, speaking of streaked pork, we wisl
our Vermont farmers would learn not to pu
all their side meat into pickle, but woul'

Brain. Work, Alcohol and Tobacco.

James Parton concludes recent very
suggestive article upon the habits and death
of Bayard Taylor (whom he had, as per-
sonal friend warned against the danger Of
wine and beer drinking and smoking), as
follows "Mental labor is not hostile TO
health and life, But am more than ever
convinced that man who lives by his brain
is of all men bound to avoid stimulating
his BRAN. In this climate, to stimulate the
brain by alcohol and tobacco is only slow
kind OF suicide. Even the most moderate
use of the mildest wine is not without dan
ger, because the peculiar exhaustion caused
by severe mental labor is a constant and mr.
gent temptation to increase the quantity
and strength OF the potation. would say
to every young man in the United States, if

one of the prizes of your profession and live

away your dirty old pipe, put your cigars in

absolute teetotaler, take your dinner in the
middle of the day, and rest one day in

PITY FOR THE pRUNKARDs.

We pity thee, poor drunkard
And in token Of our grief,
Have Joined the band who heart In hand
Go forth TO thy relief,
And think the sacrifice but small,
by our doing 70,
We lessen, by q feathers weight,
The sum Of human woe.
We pity thee, poor drunkard.
And have chosen to abstain,
In hope that, by example led,
Thou may'st once more regain
Thy standing In society
BE freed from want and care,
And finally be led to breathe
The penitential prayer.
We pity thee. poor drunkard.
And may he, who dwels above
Smile on this work of mercy,
Shed the spirit Of his love-
TIL drunkenness, and all Ia woes,
Are banlshed from the land,
And peace, and Joy, and piety
Prevail on every hand.
o speed the time. dear Saviour,
When thy saints shall all abstain
From that which robs thy church,
And fills the earth with sin and pain;
That cleansed from all that doth dehle,
Thy Zion may be given
To work thy perfect twill on earth,
As IL ia done In heaven" Selected
