Hear what be bas to say t As along tha street I blundered, Much I marveled, much 1 wondered, Seeing sights and things that mortal Never saw or dreamed before ; On tha pavement eame a rapping As of footfalls gently tapping . And I heard a muslin Hupping, Which my eye would fain explore. " 'Tis some female," tben I uuared 1 hod seen the thing before Only this and nothing more.

Naught bad I to do but follow And note down the things fho wore 'Twas a mystery to explore. And I found by close inspection That her haughty, upper section. Something ohance had called a bonnet, On its pericranium wore ; And her breast was heaving slowly, 'Neath a garment faxhioned low j, And I knew the movement wholly, I bad never seen before ; For I knew 'twas " patent beavers" That this radiant maiden wore, Only these ani nothing more. And her cheeks were full and rosy I could tell you, inter not, a Secret theta druggist told ma Of the oolor that she wore Yot her eheeks were very pleasing, But her look at me was freezing, And she showed a sign of sneexing, As she swept along before : And she sneeied a pair of "plumpers" Out at least a yard before, Only this and nothing more. Then I noticed an uncertain Lifting of the muslin curtain, That her feet had deftly hidden From my errant eyes before ; With each lift eame a desire That 'twould lift a little higher, And at last it did aspire Higher than I'd seen before ; And I knew it was a "titter" That this saintly maiden wore ; Just a "tiller" nothing mora. And tho tilting and the rocking Up and down the splendid stocking liartered by a bluish ribbon, That I chanced to see she wore, Showed me 'twas a sight for weeping, That a pair of calves were creeping Out of place as she was sweeping Like a stately queen before; Cal vos that she had late, v purchased From a fancy dry-goods store.

And while thus her rigging fluttered, Much I wondered, and I muttered : "And you call this thing a wouiau That is trouncing on before ; Sha tbo braien doll of fashion, Wrapped in one tremendous passion ; Sunken from her noble station, To the thing that goes berure ; Oh ! that every mortal vision Should suoh mystery explore."

The superior intelligence of the noblest of quadrupeds is well illustrated by the follow ing statement of facts, which appears in the Lynn Reporter : Almost everybody knows Aldermnn Otis Newhall genial, good-hearted Otis New hall, whose hand everybody likes to shake, and whose smiling face is pleasant to look upon and very many of our renders will remember "Old Whitcy," a horse w hich Mr. Newhnll owned for several years, to assist him in his labors about Pine Urove cemetery. of which he is the able and excellent super intendent, "via wiutey" was a very intel ligent animal, and knew almost as much us Boino men. Many anecdotes tire related of this horse, which we have no room for here. He was often sent alone ubnut the grounds of the cemetery with a loaded cart, and would turn the corners of the avenues quite as carefully without a driver as with one. i He whs also often sent to the stable where he was kept, which wns liulf a mile distant, much of the way through n piece of woods. A cote attached to his bridle would inform the workmen at the barn what wns wanted, nnd the errand being accomplished, the norso wntiiti tie torneci dock, always return ing faithfully and in good time to the place ft on. whence he came? lie ws kt own i to lull on these errands, nor to meet with i any accident. I About four yenrs ago. "old hitey" being j eighteen years of oge, Mr. Newhull sold him i nnd purchased a young horse. A man in i Gloucester bought linn, aud that whs the lust Mr. Xewluill saw of him, until one dny lust week, when a stray horse strolled into tlie cemetery grounds, and walked up to whern the hib-jrera u-s-rti at work. Thru trii.,1 I to drive him away, but several times he re . . . . . ' - i turned, and finully, finding he was not want ed, turned his steps toward the stable before mentioned. Mr. Newhall was absent at the time, but upon his return at once recognized his former faithful assistant, who testified his pleasure at seeing his old master in the most demonstrative horse language. Ho was lean and sore, and but a wreck of his former self, but his memory had not failed him Mr. N. had his old favorite well washed, fed and cared tor, nnd then turned him into a rich pnsturc, where ho found plenty of sweet crass which he devoured with evident relish. or a week this old horse emoyed the rest e hud so well earned, but everv day when he had finished his repast, he would find is way to where tha laborers were at work the cemetery, ami stand among tlicm. as much hs to say that he was readv tn go to ork nauin. Two or three days since a man did lnpstieiii called on Sir. Newhall and luimed "Old Whitey" as his ptoperty. Ho j nit tnnt lie imn oottgnt nun o the oiouceb er man some time since, to work on a farm; at he had put lum in his bam the night lefore he came to the cemetery, and in the morning hu was missing. The old horse had made his way out, and flailing himself at lierty, faithful to the instinct, or reason, or liatever it may he called, that whs implant ed in him, had graveled during that night, r early morning, struiglit back, a distance (twelve or fifteen miles, to Ins old home, is though desirous to return to his former ittics. It is gratifying to Mr. Newjiall to lelieve that "Old Whitey" has a kind mas ter, who will see that hu is properly fed and cared for, as, after twenty years of faithful service, be certainly deserves to be. FitEAKs or a Minnik Bali,. In the bat tle of Drury's Bluff, Virginia, May, 1804, Oscar v ibberts, of East Hartford, a mem ber of company A, 7th Connecticut regiment, was wounded in a somewhat curious man ner. A minnie bull struck a true and broke in pieces, the fragments, instead of scatter ing, pased into hit head, making half a dozen wounds. One piece entered near the right temple and entirely destroyed the sight of the right eye ; another passed into the side of his face, another near the upper lip, and another near the left cheek. All were removed except the Utter, the position of that not being known, and the email piece hat entered near the right temple. Kecent- ly Vibberts has experienced considerable pain near the check bono, but supposed it proceeded from a portion of tho bone itself working out. It nnally became so Irritating that the right eye was affected, and there was dancer or the sisht lieinir lost, i ester- dav he applied to Dr. Georce C.

The feeding of beeves for the butcher should be carried ou with system nnd regu larity, avoiding especially excessive feeding, and being careful to see thnt they keep well to their appetite.

We are too apt to suppose that their fleecy covering makes them insensible to the changes of weather.

In the ab sence of this rotten wood should bp sup plied. An occasional handful of salt and ashes to each hog is very bcuelicial. Ground and cooked fowl, or either ground or conked, is more economical than feeding tho raw corn. But it is vastly more con? venient tn use the whole ears, and at so busy n season, few will adopt these modes of preparing food. The next best one is to throw the whole ears of corn ipto a tub of water lo soak ftir twelve hours i having two tubs, one of which will be emptied at each feeding, and immediately filled again with fresh ears. Throw into the water a little salt and wood ashes.

Sheep should have free use of sheds for protection against bad weather, but should not be confined to them. Calves do very well if penned and fed with sheep, Hugs should bo kept away from other stock, nnd never allowed to sleep in damp :uter, or manure neaps.

Of every three rows, take up two very carefully, and cutting down with tho spade, at each side of the third row, at six iuche distance, set tho removed plants carefully iu there, and cover up with earth to the tops of the leaves.
