ATTORNEYS AT LAW. | yyr H Y T E ' S While one by one the moments fly, Bearing their record up on high To Him who sits with watching eye— Of the several methods of diverting disposable land and labour in the direction of stock raising, none would seem to fall in so readily with established arrangements aj the dairy. Every farmer's family is engaged in dairying to some extent, and with all, there is a degree of familiarity with the details of dairy management. Every one therefore has made a beginning, and needs only to extend and enlarge his operations. That increase of dairy products to an unlimited extent can be made profitable under skillful management would appear from the price of even common butter and the very large price of that which is really good. The late Julian Legrjnd, a famous Farii merchant, was fond of telling the following incident of his mercantile life, and he never closed the narration but with swimming eyes : During the financial crisis and crash of fifly-seven, when great men were sinking all around us and banks were tottering, oar bouse became alarmed at the condition of its own affairs. The partners—three of us, of whom I was the senior— met in our private office for consultation. Our junior made careful inventory of everything— of bills received and payable—and bis report was that twenty thousand jwunds (speaking in English currency) of ready money, to be held through the preesure, would save us. Without that we must go by the board ; the result was inevitable. I went among my friends, but in vain. The money we needed was not to be had. Men who held gold would not let it go, saveupon solid security, and the only security we could give was our word and our honor, for the many thouaands due us were as nothing in that hour. p -S.

The yield of butter per cow is subject to great variation. Borne breeds of the animal are remarkable as milkers ; such for instances, as Alderneys and Jerseys—indeed, we may say all tbe smaller varieties. There are instances of cows yielding upwards of 20 pounds of butter per week, but these are extraordinary cases. A good cow will produce, during the aummer months, more than 2S0 pounds of butter. The average annual yield ol a cow is not more.tjian 170 pounds.

I remember when you were a member of the superintending school committed of Mezieres. I was a boy at the school. My father was dead, my mother was poor, and I was shabbily dressed, though clean. When our class was called up to recite, on examination day. you asked the questions. I fancied you would praise and pet the children of the rich and fortunate parents, and pass me by. I blundered and stammered and quivered with ahame. But it was not as I bad thought. In the end, you passed by all theoth. era and came to me. Yon laid your hand upon iny bead and told me I had done very well; and then you told me I could do better still if I would try. You told me that the way to honor and renown was open to all alike—no one bad a free pass. All I had to do wai to reiolve and push on. That, sir, was tbe turning point of my life. From that time my soul was inspired, and I have never reached a great good without blessing you in my heart. I have prospered, and now offer you but a poor return for the soul wealth you gave me in that by-gone time." This rock has been Dn island. The icestream, pouring out irnCi the fiord, had »t length touched the island, and, encroaching more and more upon it, from year to year, moulding itself into the rock, had finally, obtained the position which I have described.

M» own obsarvation of an ice-stream, continued through almost a year, showed, as has been previously Btated, a daily ratv of five inches. Suppose Philip to have even doubled the distance in his lough guessing, we have still a rate of flow of four inches and a half per day. An inspection of the numerous breaking from its front shows that it must have been considerable indeed, judging from the great number of icebergs that were scattered down the fiord, all of which were its children. Many of the largest of them had lingered in the fiord ever since Philip came there. Missing the deepest channel, they had grounded, and held on for years and years, until they had been gradually reduced by melting, and by pieces breaking from them but never yet were small enough to tide over the rocky bottom and reach the sea outside.

Many of tbe moat skillful dsiry farmers never keep their milk cows long, allowing in general the bull to run freely with them. There is nothing but lose to be made by keeping an old milch cow. Good cows may be kept for three years, and many farmers keep them for six; but a* a general rule, it la better to dispose of tbe animals at an age when they are the most valuable to tbe butcher.

The reason why brain-workers need a better quality and larger quantity of nutrition than mecliacics and laborers'are tbe following: THE WANTS OF THE PEOPLE DULt CONSIDERED! Milch cows should be comportably stabled when they are put up for the winter. They should be kept warm, but at tbe same time, the oow-house should be thoroughly ventilated. %&• GIVE ME A CALL.

Litbor of the brain causes greater waste of tissue than labor of the muscles. According to the estimates of Prof. Houghton, three hours of hard study produce more important changes of tissue than a whole day of tnu9cular labor. Phosphorus which i* a prominent ingredient of the brain, is deposited in the urine alter mental labor, and recent experiments have shown that by chemical examination of these phosphates deposited, it is possible to determine whether an individual has been chiefly using his brain or his muscles.

JACOB RITTEL 'Aloft there!' he yelled, in a rage, "The horse-chestnut's little hands unfold, Soft aa a baby'a nine days old." An important point of dairy economy is the feeding of the cows at regular intervals. If the usual time for the feed be allowed to pass, the animals are almost certain to become very uneasy—to icorry ; and every feeder knows, or ought to know, that a fretting beast will neither fatten nor yield milk satisfactorily. The cowhouse ought to be kept as clean as possible; and the excreta, therefore, should be removed every day. The animal should be supplied with pure water—a point, as we have already said, seldom attended to. RESTAURANTS. No answer. • 'Maintop there!' 'Halloa !' was answered, spitefully. 'Come down on deck!' 'Come up here, and aee how you like it!' The captain's rage was now fearful to behold. 'Who's aloft there? Who is it, Mr. Raynor?' he demanded, of the mate. A minute later, the Professor having finished his part, came forward to the front of the stage ; and, spite of hi» flowing beard snd other disguises, I recognized one whom I bad supposed to be dead five years before. But now, as we observe, the buds are slumbering. Little they care for the wild winds which rock their airy cradles, or sing them eolian lallabies. The rainbowed icicle may be pendant from their tips, or the snow wrap them in its soft embrace. They know nothing about it; but exist in a semi-oblivious condition between the past and the future, deriving strength from their former life and looking with bright hope to that which is to some.

The brain, being the noblest organ of the body, teceives a greater proportional amount of blood than any other part, and is of course correspondingly affected by the quantity and quality of the nutrition.

The importance of roots for the Winter and Spring feeding of dairy stock is not generally appreciated. They serve a purpose beyond their nutritive value as compared with other kinds of food. In connection with dry food like hsv, straw, and the like, they act as a corrector giving tone to the appetite and promoting health. It is an essential point in the management of milch cows to keep them in vigorous health; for, if tbey are suffered to get in a low condition, it is vain to expect either a good return of milk or that the milk yielded should be ot a superior quality. Youatt very truly remarks that if cows are lean when calviug, no subsequent management can bring them t« yield, for that season, the quantity of milk tbey would have furnished had they been kept in good condition. "When the animals are fed on straw, or coarse, poor hay only, without anv green food, until toward the time ofcalving, the vessels secreting the milk becomecomparatively inert and powerless, and will not afterward yield either much nutriment, or this of good quality ; it is, therefore, important that milch cows should be maintained at all times, not only in good condition., but what maybe termed a milking habit, wbiob can only be accomplished by a moderate supply of any of the succulent feeding roots in addition to good dry food."

The literary man need never be idle, for his thinking powers— the tools of his trade—are always at hand.

The mechanic has a definite task, assigned for certain hours, and when that is over, he feels free to rest. On the other hand, the powers of thought and composition are only interrupted by sleep, and the intensity of the labor is measured by our mental disciplloe and powers of end urancs.

Those were days-of grand debate, when the press had not gained much prestige before oratory had given way in Congress to the reporters. There were no very lofty flights then, and you could not prick an orator, like a bubble, with a witty sarcasm. Clay never disappointed. He wouhl not have dared.
