SMITH. A Summer in Skye. By Alexander
Smith, author of " Alfred Hagart's House
hold," " A Life Drama." Boston : Tick
nor & Fields. 16m0., pp. 422. For sale
by J. B. Lippincott & Co.
A most entertaining book. Vitried in
contents, fresh, bright and graceful in
style, and treating or a primitive society
and a rugged nature, but a few hours' sail
from the centres of the world's enterprise
and intelligence, it has peculiar charms to
the lover of novelty in the animate and in
animate world alike. The writer reminds
us that he has not altogether forsaken the
poetic muse; by a number of g raceful poems
in the body of the work. But we doubt
whether the author Of the "Life Drama"
has abandoned the
highest walks of litera
ture, and w e half suspect that these more
recent productions are but the results or
lighter moods, in the midst of which some
serious and worthy undertaking is secretly
going forward, for the surprise and benefit
of a later era. We should be surf to be
lieve, that one so gifted had determined to
confine his literary activity to a sphere so
limited, as that of the writer of novellettes
or of the summer tourist.
FERGUSON. Life Struggles in Rebel Prif k ons.
A , Record of the Sufferings, Escapes,.
and Starvation of the Union Pris
oners. By Joseph Ferguson, late Captain
First New Jersey Volunteers. With an
introduction by Rev. J T. Cooper, D.D.
Philadelphia: James M. Ferguson. 18
mo., pp. 230. Illustrated. Price $l.
One of the best books of its class brought
out by the. war. The author was a Chris
tian soldier and a man of intelligence and
culture, a noble specimen of myriads of
Northern youth, who, from devotion to the
great principles of liberty, humanity and
patriotism, gave themselves up to the call
of their country. A merciful Providence
preserved him amid the dangers of the
field, and the more fatal influences of cap
tivity under cruel and- murderous jailers,
and he has done but another part, of his
duty, as the foe of secession and wrong, in
telling us, in a grap)49 manner. the story
of his own and his comrade's sufferings.
We deplore the necessity of such a - record,
but it is a necessity, and we hope every
proper effort will be made to exhibit the
judgment of the national heart and con
science upon such outrageous wrong and
cruelty.
Mr. J. M. Ferguson has done his work
well. The illustrations are quite good.

THE BROKEN BUCKLE.
You have read in history of that hero
who, when an overwhelming force was in
full pursuit; and all his followers were
urging him to a more rapid flight, coolly
dismounted to repair a flaw in his horse's
harness. While busied with the broken
buckle, the distant cloud was swept down
in nearer thunder; but just as the prancing
hoofs and eager spears were ready to dash
upon him the flaw was mended, and like a
swooping falcon he had vanished from their
view. The broken buckle would have left
him on the field, a dismounted and in
glorious prisoner; the timely delay sent
him in safety back to his comrades. There
is in daily life the same luckless precipi
tancy, and the same profitable delay. The
man who, from his prayerless awakening,
bounces into the business of the day, how
ever good his talents and great his dili
gence, is only galloping upon a steed
harnessed with a broken buckle, and must
not marvel if, in his hottest haste or most
hazardous leap, he be left ingloriously in
the dust; and though it may occasion some
little delay beforehand, his neighbor is
wiser who sets out all in order before the
manh begins.—Rev. J. Hamiledn.
Dag Nunitintg.
WHERE FAT AND FLESH COME FROM,
They come from the earth and the at
mosphere, collected by vegetation. Grass
contains flesh ; so does grain. The animal
system puts it on from these. Vegetation,
then, is the medium through which the
animal world exists; it can exist in no
other way. When grass or grain is eaten,
the fleshy constituents are retained in the
s ystem : so also the fatty substance, the
starch and sugar, from which fat is made.
Some grains have more flesh than others ;
so of the qualities that make fat. In a
hundred parts of wheat, according to Piesse,
are ten pounds of flesh ; in a hundred parts
of oat-meal, nearly .double that amount.
Hence oats are better for horses, on account
of their flesh-forming principle, rather than
fat, as muscle is what a horse wants. For
fattening purposes, however, corn and other
grains are better.
When the flesh itself is eaten, the sys
tem but appropriates what is already formed,
but would as readily take it from vegeta
bles as from flour. The flesh-making prin
ciple—or.the flesh itself, in its constituents
—goes to form cheese in the dairy ; the
starch, &c., butter. Hence it is that some
people assert that cream has little influence
in cheese, farther than to enrich it; for
cheese and butter are entirely distinct. The
same kind of food is-equally good for the
production of either. This is a point of
considerable interest, and is not yet fully
explained—indeed, is yet in its infancy.
And a plant in its different stages of growth
has a different effect. The fat of the plant
is held in reserve for the seed; nothing is
wasted in leaves, wood, &c.; the precious
seed must have it. Hence when this takes
place, the stalk is comparatively worthless
to what it is prior to the change. And
the fat cannot be appropriated so well in
the seed as when it is diffused through the
stalk. Tender herbage, therefore, is the
best; and when secured before the direc
tion of the oil takes place, so much the
better will be the hay.—Colman's Rural
World.
MUTTON THE MEAT FOR FARMERS.
The cheapest meat for farmers is mut
ton. It may safely be said it costs nothing.
The wool that is annually sheared from the
body of every sheep, richly pays for its
keeping. In this climate it costs less to
keep sheep than at the North, on account
of the shortness of our winters. Then
there is the increase—an item of great im
portance. The increase is so much clear
profit. From this increase the farmer can
get all his meat for the year if he likes.
Or he may save the lambs and take some of
the older sheep in their places.
The pelt of the sheep, if killed for mut
ton, is also saved and sold, which is worth
nearly as much as the sheep would sell
for.
It is also the most convenient meat to
have on hand. In the warmest weather a
farmer can take care of one sheep after
being killed, without letting it spoil. With
beef this is not so easy.
One hand can kill and dress a sheep in
an hour. It takes but little time or trouble
to kill a sheep, not near so much as to kill
and dress a hog or a beef. On account of
convenience and . economy, we say keep
sheep and live upon mutton.
We have said nothing about its being
the healthiest food. This is admitted. It
needs no arguments or facts to prove it. It
is true that pork is the chief meat of farm
ers. It is the unhealthiest of all, whether
fresh or saturated with salt to preserve it
sound.
Let every farmer keep sheep. They are
the most profitable stock on the farm. The
hog's back only yields bristles, while the
sheep's yields downy wool. All that you
feed to the hog is gone, unless you kill it,
while the sheep will pay you for its keep
with its fleece yearly. The hog is a filthy,
voracious animal—the sheep, gentle as a
dove and neat and cleanly.—Rural World.
USEFULNESS OF THE OWL.
The food of owls consists almost entirely
of rats, mice, and field mice. Many of the
smaller species destroy multitudes of noc
turnal insects, and but few of the birds are
destroyed, comparatively, by any of the
species. Those that are most diurnal in
habits partake somewhat of the nature of
the hawks, and kill birds, which they pur
sue and capture while on the wing. But
the little injury done by these is but trifling
when compared with the benefits they are
constantly doing by destroying the noxious
animals, which, as we have already said,
constitute the greater portion of their food.
We all know that mice do infinite
mischief during the winter season in gird
ling trees, hedges, etc., and numerous in
ventions and appliances have been recom
mended for the protection of trees against
their ravages, nearly all of which are found
to be impracticable. A writer in a recent
number of the Canada Farmer states that
a gentleman who had several hundred pear
trees, just coming into bearing, had them
nearly all destroyed by Now, should
not the owl, which assists the .farmer in
his labors by destroying animals which are
destructive to his interests, be protected
and regard as a friend ? Western Ritral..
COST OF BREAD.
A barrel of flour will yield 300 pounds
of bread; 343 pounds can .be obtained by
judicious management. The writer has
proved this by experiment repeatedly. As
it is notorious that the dearest flour is not
used by bakers, but what is called "baker's
flour" and "strong" and "weak" flour, it
is plain they can afford to give more than 7
to 8-ounce loaves for five cents. The price
paid for bread now is about ten cents the
pound. A barrel of flour even costing $l5
will yield therefore at this rate, $l5 profit.
How much more does it yield, then, when
it costs but $B, or even $lO. Is not the
profit then made large enough to allow 12
ounces, at the least, for a five-cent loaf?
will any baker say why not ?—Boston

the real value of your SELTZER APERIENT as a

express toyou my sincere gratitude for the great
benefit the SELTZER has done my wife.
For four or five years my wife has been sadly One

was finally induced to seek the advice of a learned
Physician, Doctor °oblong, of Venezuela, who imme

SELTZER APERIENT she began to improve at once
and is now PERFECTLY WELL.
I feel it to be my duty for the good of humanity to

my earnest gratitude and thanks.
I am very respectfully yours. -
