"Dirty as a hog;" a common expres sion, is not literally a correct one, for the hog is not naturally a filthy animal : -T-he-wild boar is-indeed the reverse,-as is evident from his cleanlyhabits, and thi-dry and clean lair which he forms , or himself in the recesses of his native forestrand that the domestic hog is nat urally filthy, is at least questionable, and will be admitted to be so, by any person who has witnessed the,d . elight, -that ani mal-Manifests on being . furnished with fresh straw after hig'ity his been cleans ed.

And do not other. members of the order Pachy dermata, including the half-reasoning elephant, practise the same ; irresource, after all, no more than parallel with the! custom of some_savage natione,. anoint ing their skiha with grease for the very same purpose.. Nor is the fact -that the hog-will thrive, and fatten more quickly, if kept with proper attention to cleanli ness, than he . otherwise will, to be for getter or lost sight of: Alas.!

Let it-however be admit ted, that the hog, as we generally aria him, is, in life, a very disgusting brute; and still, aro not all these disagreeable qualifies more than amply counterbal anced by his extraordinary utility after death?
