Though every inch a sailor, and not often given to tbp melting mood, the blind god once succeeded in sending one of his shafts clear through his rough sou-wester, which found a lodging tri his honest heart. Tho how from which the shaft was sped hung in the eyes of a fair girl, and straightway the jolly tar fell head over heels in love. He proseouted his suit with vigor. The girl wsa "a lass who loved a sailor"—ana so smiled npon him, and consented to beoome his wife. But the young sailor had a rival in the son of s respectable tallow-chandler, well to do, ealled Slidell, and toutig Slidell feeling considerably cut up by being cut out, refused to seeept "the mitten," but not having spunk enough to throw down the glove to his sailor rival contented himself With "poisoning" the mind of the "storn parient" of the fair one, until he refused his consont to his daughter's marraige with the bold Charlie Wilkes, and insisted upon her giving her hand to yovng Slidell, which after many protestations und the customary amount of tears and hysterics, she did, and became "Mrs. John Slidell."

A late milked, lean, raking* ill-eared for beaSt has oftentimes an easier parturition than those that are better furnished in these respects. But her after milking has a tale to tell of neglect somewhere; and the scraggy, "set" condition of the calf throughout its after course, often arises more from this cause thsn from any other. Hence, «re would say, dry the cow a fair time before calving, and see thaC she has something better than barely-straw to live on, else the oalf and its owner will assuredly lose by it. But what is regarded as a fair amount of time for being dry f— If a cow brings her first calf when from two to three years old—which the majority probably do, though all will admit that it is too early—we should not care to milk her more than five or six months after calving. By this means she Will grow and increase in size and value before her second oalf. But a oow from the fourth to the eighth year, if in good condition, need not be dry more than six weeks or two months before calving; t. e. if fed with a thoroughly liberal hand throughout the year. If more sparingly fed, or if the cow exceeds the latter age, then we should prefer her being dry three months before calving.— But, of course, thero are exceptions to be met with, which can not come under any general rule, Buch as the oase of animas whose flow of milk is so strong as to 4ontinue almost up to the time when a new laoteal secretion commences." We must add here a point that we have discussed at length in a former volume of the American Agriculturitt, via., that a breeding cow's milk is not fit food for young children; we always keep a "farrow cow" to supply milk for them.

MlyX fcc aioes and anuo -— _ ,  he ctae, there would be bo question as it the impropriety of allowing gram to yoong homes or other animate. Grain contains more nutriment than the same bulk of hay or straw. If fed in large quantity to one not worked sufficiently to keep the digestive powers very active, the stomach and other organs will be impaired, and the health of the animal will be injured. But given judiciously, grain promotes the growth and strength of horses cither young or old. The proper way to harden an animal, is, not to cramp the growth of its organs, but to develop them to the fullest extent, and nutritious food is indispensable to this end. It is the praotice of aome of the best horsemen to allow a small quantity of oats or corn to colts, as soon as they will eat them, say from a quart to two quarts per dav during the first Winter.snd a more liberal allowance the following year, increasing tho quantity gradually. Oats are preferable, as corn from its oily nature prediepoees to inflammatory diseases. Herbert says this treatment will amply repay the owner tn tho quality of bone and muscle which the animal will form, and in the increased size, beauty, and sitamiBa, which will be his characteristics when he Ds growing toward maturity. He gives hit opinion that a colt cared for in this way, will be, at two years old, the equal of any threeyear-old, allowed to take his chance without any food but that furnished by his dam from her ordinary commons, or picked up by himsetif,ih his Summer pasture or Winter straw-yard.—Amer.

Odd Follows' Block, North Side He'a a Clever Fellow.—Of course he is, how could he be anything else ?—so fragile in form—bo genial in nature, he was made for everybody but himself. This clever fellow is monstrous kind—he'll give you everything he has—bnt unfortunately the good things of this life arc bostowed on him with a sparing hand. His stook in trade is "gab," that don't cost much if you are not tongue-tied, and "our" clever fel* low never is; when all other reaouroes fail the tongue docs its duty. It never be' cornea seedy for want of a new coat, it may bccome dry, but nature furnishes the fluia if the owner can't raise the wind to pay for the "forty rod." After all our clever follow is a necessity—he fills a vacuum—» of course is a man of capital, not that kind who buy U. S. 7 3-lOth Treasury Notes, but a millionaire in words, and so lavish with them that all get a share. How oo'd any community do without its olever fellow, or the world wag without the wag of his tongue ? Common Sense.—The, following from the "Philadelphia Ledger," we commcnd to the attention of every reader : "Common sense may bo cultivated, a very common notion to the coutrary nobwithstanding. For, though some men are born with more than others, it may be developed like any other intellectual quality. A judge who has been on the bench for many years is bettor, all things being the same, thqn ono who has just been elevated to it. Practice, it has been well said,makes perfect. A blacksmith who has been pounding iron for half a lifetime, has a brawnier arm than his young apprentice. Let a man begin at twenty-one, deciding carefblly on little things, and what was at first a labor, will soon become an instinct, till, at last, be who started with comparatively no common sense at *11, will end with a well deserved reputation for it. It would be better fbr the prosperity and happiness of individuals, as well as fbr soeiety at large, if common sense was cultivated more; for to a greater degree than anything else, it enters into the composition of good citizens, good members of the family, good men and good women. A Striking Fiodrk.—The opening paragraph in the late Fast Day Sermon of Re*. W. A. Butler, of Brooklyn, was as follows: Pi its ton, June U, 1$C0. "My friends—It is time for prayer. Men are apt to pray once at least before they die. Prayer is the spiritual anodyne that holds the final hope. We are met this morning around the coach of a sick nation, the youngest born of all the nations. Our beloved is smitten with a dreadful malady, which active cauterizing would have checked in the beginning, but it has now become a chronic disease of a most formidable character. The doctors in consultation at the Capitol could not agree itf their diagnosis; a poulticc of compromise and a pill of promise were administered ; and thus the fell disease is nursed until it breaks out ia terrible cancer. This is the work of quacks and knaves; but the surgeons come in and prepare their Bharp iustru:noute, and the remedy will be as terrible as the disease. In behalf of our dear, suffering motherland, we assemble nrouud the couch of the invalid, that by importunity of prayer we may move the God of mercies to spare.
