For the OXFORD DEMOCRAT
STRANGERS.
BY wM. WALLACE MAXIM.

We are living and toiling as strangers,
In band that we call our own;
We are passing like priest and Levite,
The road to the great unknown.
We talk of the golden city.
OF friends in that home so dear,
But scarcely word ofpity
For those who are starving here.
Starving for love and devotion
Aud the graces that round them fall;
Starving for pure religion
In country of churches tall.
These shadows and baubles are empty
Thought decked with the treasures of art
And the light OF a life burns dimly
when love has gone out of the heart,
We read in the legends of heroes
Who labors of love to bcstow
Put self in the misty background
And built up the kingdom below.
May we ask with patience enduring
Like the servents and seekers ofyorc,
That the faith of the ancient martyrs
Might visit the earth once more.
Might come like the splendors of sunlight
To shadowy cropping band;
Might come like the rain in summer
To the arid and dusty land.
For the same old passions bind us.
Aud the same Affections bow,
And we know that the God OF the Bible
Is the God OF His children now

4 Poor CHANCE FOR REsURREcTIoN.-
Mrs. Hampton, an escaped Mormon wo.
man. has been lecturing In the west on
the shameful state Of things which Is q
part of "our free institutions" in Utah.
She says that when Mormon women are
married. a white headdress with flowing
cape is worn. During the ceremony this
cape is over the brides face until the
groom lifts 1t. When the wife dies she Is
buried with this cape on her head, and
when she is laid in her coffin the cape Is
thrown over her face. The teaching OF
the Mormon leaders is that she cannot be
rcsurrected until the husband raises this
cape from her face; that IL he is satisfied
that she has been faithful and obedlent
wife, he will raise this cape and she may
:be resurected, One of the most common
threats, she said, by which her husband
used TO compel her 10 obedience was that
if size didn't obey him "she should never
be resurrected."
The Russian police do not like the stu
dents. whom they suspect OF Nihlism.
This fact gives point to the following story :
A student walking on the banks OF the Neya
had the misfortune TO fall in, and, as he
was ignorant of swimming, proceeded y
drown. The policemen near by continued
their patrolling, keeping studiously dear
TO his cries for help. At the last moment
the drowning man bethought himself OF
stratagem, and shouted as loud as he
as he could Down with the car" In an
instant there were five policemen in the
water. and he was fished out and taken to
the nearest police station.-1he Score.

among our pigs when running in
pasture. The grass serves to counter.
act the effect of corn, and many pigs
on grass can be fed heavily with this
food without the injury which it
would do them if confined and de-
prived of grass. Our experience has
convinced us that no farm is COM
plete without a pig pasture. Clover
is the best of all grasses for this pur-
pose, and next to it we prefer orchard
grass, for the reason that it starts up
promptly after being eaten off, is the
earliest in the spring, and is relished
by pigs. A special field is not nec-
essary for the pig pasture, Lut they
may be allowed to run in any lot if
properly enclosed. There should be
water in the field, and plenty OF grass.
A patch of sweet corn in drill will be
found convenient to supplement a
short pasture in the summer. There
should also be another patch of tur-
nips or other roots into which the
pigs may be turned for fall feeding.
With the three auxiliaries Of pasture,
sweet corn-stalks, and root-patch,
the cost of rearing and feeding pigs
may be reduced to less than one-half
Of their expense when they are con-
fined and fed in pens, to say nothing
about their better condition for food.

Women and Wine.

a writer in Scribner's Monthly
uses the following strong language.
which will be responded to by the
women who have suffered all over
the land:
<'Of the worst foes women have
had to encounter wine stands ut the
head. The appetite for strong drink
in men has spoiled the lives of more
women-ruined more hopes for them,
scattered more fortunes for them,
brought to them more shame, sarrow
and hardship-than any other evil
that exists. The country numbers
tens of .thousands-nay, hundreds of
thousands of women who are widows
to-day, and all sit in hopeless weeds
because their husbands have been
slain by strong drink.
Yes, there are hundreds Of thous-
ands of homes scattered all over the
land, in which women live lives of
torture, going throughall the changes

tremes of fear and dispair. because

The Pic Pasture.

F. D. Curtis thinks that breeding
sows should be allowed to feed .on
grass. He has always the best sue
cess with them at that time. He
says:
''This is the only food they re-
quire until the young pigs are a week
old, when milk or meal of some sort
may be given them to increase the
flow of milk, if they require it. Sows
thus managed are never ugly. and
never distroy their pigs. Why? Be-
cause they are in a natural and
healthy condition. The grass also in
creases the flow of milk and is quite
often sufficient food for a sow while
rearing her young. Young pigs soon
learn to eat grass, which is alike ma.
tural and healthy for them. We
never have a ease OF scours or tllumps
