Last night, within the little curtained room,
Where the gay music sounded family clear,
And silver lights came stealing through the
gloom,
You told the tale that women love to hear;
You told it well, with firm hand clasping mine,
And deep eyes glowing with a tender sight,
Mere acting But your prayer was half divine
Last night, last night.
All you had much to offer; wealth enough
To gid the future, and path OF ease
For one whose way is somewhat dark and rough;
New friends-lie calm as summer seas
And something twas it love = TO keep US true
And make us precioEs in each others light.
And, then, indeed, my hearts resolve knew,
Last night, last night
Let the world go, with all its drOss and pelf!
Only for one like Pogta, could / say,
81 would be trebled twenty times myself"
Only for one. and he is far away;
His voice came back to me, distinct and dear,
And thrilled me with the pain of lost delight.
The present faded, but the past was clear,
Last night last night.
IF others answered as l answered then,
We would hear less, perchance, of bhghted
lives;
There would be truer women, nonler men.
And fewer dreary homes and faithess wives;
Because ! could not give you all my best,
gave you nothing Judge me-was right?
You may thank Heaven that stood the test
Last night, last night.

Buy thoroughbred bull, and raise
calves from your best COWS, says a New
York dairyman. There are times in
the year when milk is plenty; then raise
calves. \ winter calf is better than a
summer one, because it is old enough
to turn at grass when spring comes. His
method Of raising calves is to give p or
three quarts of milk, and one quart of
water to each calf, twice a day, until
four weeks old. Then reduce the milk,
and increase the water gradually, until
they are two months old, and they are
weaned, and never know it. Ia the
meantime, give them wheat bran and
middlings, equal parts, increasing with
the grain as the milk is deceased Hay
is also given.

Horse PhYstnrnotnY.

A horses heal indicates his charac-
ter very much as a mans does. Vice is
shown in the eye and mouth; intelli-
gence IN the eye and in the breadth
between the ears and between the eyes
spirit in the eye and in the pose, in the
mobile nostril, and active ear. The
size of the eye, the thinness of the skin,
making the face bony, the large, open,
thin-edged nostril, the fine ear and the
thin, fine name and foretop are indica-
tons of fine breeding, and accompany
high-strung, nervous organization,
which, with good limbs and muscular
power, insures a considerable degree of
speed in the animal. The stupid, lazy
horse that drivers call "lunk head"
has a dull eye usually, narrow fore
head and a contracted poll. He is al
ways blunderer, forgets himself and
stumbles on smooth ground, gets him
self and his owner into difficulties, calks
himself, IS sometimes positively ley,
but often hard goer. He needs CON
slant care and watchfulness on the
drivers part. 4 buyer of fine equine
flesh should be able SO detect the good
and bad qualities of the animals he con
templates purchasing. The valuable
knowledge is only acquired by a careful
study of the various parts of horse
physiognomy.- American Agricultur-

From the NCW YORK Berhld.I
Are wedding presents the property Of
the wife or the husband? This curious
question has been raised in the English
courts.
Nine. MERCER sued Mrs. Williams for
8 bill of goods TO the extent of 50 600
supplied before the Iatter's marriage
She recovered Judgment and levied on
Mrs. Williams Jewels. They were we'd
ding presents and were claimed by the
husband IS his property. The case was
tried before Lord Chief Justice Cole
ridge and a jury. He instructed the
jury that in law the articles belonged to
the husband, aud that accordingly the
suit against tue wife could not be
maintained. An appeal was taken TO
the divisional court. The judges were
equally divided. Then the court of APP
peal was called upon TO decide the ques-
tion. 1t held that both the wedding
presents and other valuables owned by
Mrs. Williams before her marriage be-
came the property OF her husband, but
that their ownership had been trans
ferred TO her by an ante-nuptlal agree
ment This agreement provided that
all property OF the wife should be as
signed to trustees for named purposes,
except jewels. trinkets, ornaments of
the person and articles of the like ma
ture." These. it was declared IN the
agreement, should belong to her for
separate use.
The case was then carried to the
House of Lords, which has just given its
opinion. 1t sustains the decision of the
court of appeal that the jewels were the
separate property of Mrs. Williams I'M
der the ante uuptial agreement. They
were therefore liable TO seizure by her
creditors. The views of the House of
Lords ON the question whether wedding
presents become the property OF the
husband or belong to the wife do not
appear in the report of the opinion.
The inference is that the house agrees
with the court of appeal on this point
also.

Saving Feed.


If one tenth of the crop OF grain and
hay that will be fed, during the present
winter, could be saved there would be
practically an enormous addition TO the
natural wealth with which this cc-lnfrv
is OVERLOOKING. 1t seems as though the
saving might be effected, and thus CON
siderable be done to avert the evils OF
depression in the markets for farm
products. The frsl means to adopt for
saving bay and grain, is to provide snug
and comfortable quarters for farm stock
of all kinds; for fully q tenth of all the
foCu gwen to animals in the wav com
mon, in the West especially, is wasted

goes to sustain animal heat.
Every animal is an animated
furnace, consuming a certain part
OF the fHel in keeping up the
temperature of its body. Every one
knows that a furnace placed out of
doors requires greater quantity of fuel
to keep itself warm, than in a closed
room.
Another patent influence for econo-
my of fodder and grain, is good breed
ing. Well-bred beeves, and well-bred
COWS will give n much greater return.

of food, than the scrub can give. The
results of good breeding show them
selves all along the line, from birth to
maturity. The Berkshire, the Poland

void, the Oxford, the Shropshire. or
other improved races of sheep: the
Herefords, the Short-horD, or other es-
tabhshed breeds, all make fair appear
ance, larger growth, and better prof
it than the scrub can make from like
quantity OF food.
Much is to be learned, by the mass of
farmers In this country, about the rel
alive cost and value of the several
kinds of food. The general method of
management is to throw dry fodder of
some kind to the stock, to chuck down a
few ears of corn, and once in a while to
lead the animals to trough OF water,

II the merits of wooden shoes were

farm.

can highly recommend them to all farm
ers and dairy men. They are most val
liable and do excellent service along in
the winter and spring, when the ground
is continually freezing and thawing and
1t is muddy most OF the time. 1t is then
that they are far superior to leather
boots and shoes for the leather will
soak up water and make the feet wet,
and the boots will be hard to get on and
off, while wooden shoes keep the feet
dry and warm even In tho coolest
weather When the chores are done, it
is a simple matter to step out of the
shoes and into pair of slippers. 1t
seemed strange to me when [
first saw them, that they could
be used at all in the win
ter, for the back part OF The shoes was
open, as they all are, and I thought this
would let the cold air in all around the
foot; but by using them 3 short time I
was delighted with the way they kept
my feet warm and comfortable.
Of course we all know that wood is
very poor conductor Of heat and cold,
and for this reason wooden shous are
much warmer than leather ones. | had
an idea, however, at first, that the heel
would almost freeze in cold weather:
but two pairs Of socks kept them warm
during the coolest weather we have had.
1T would bs good plan to take a pair
of old boots and cut off the feet and
then tack the tops around the opening
on a pair of wooden shoes, as this
would keep the ankle warmer and
more comfortable.
Besides this, they are very economi-
cal, being much cheaper, and lasting
longer than leather boots and shoes.
