' , Hz never prays The God of heaven has watched O'er all his steps, and, with that careful eye Which never sleeps, has guarded him from death, And shielded him from danger. Through the hours, The thoughtless hours of youth, a hand un..,oen, Has guarded all his footsteps o'er the wild And thorny paths of life, and led him on In safety through them all. In latter days, Still the same hand has ever been his guard From dangers seen and unseen. Clouds have loweed, And tempests oft have burst above his head, But that protecting hand has warded off The , thunder-stroke of death, and still he stands A monument of mercy. Years have passed Of varied dangers and of varied guilt, But still the sheltering wings of love have been Outspread in mercy o'er him. He hath walked Upon the beauteous earth for many years, And skies, and stars, and the magnificence Of mighty waters, and the warning voice That speaks amid the tempest, and the notes Of softer tone that float on evening winds— AlVthese have told him of a God who claims The homage of the soul. And he has lived And viewed them in their glory as they stood 4rotind him even from infancy, a voice That, told of mercy bending o'er him With looks of angel sweetness—and of power Resistless in its goings forth—but stayed: By that seraphic mercy still he stands; Cold and unfeeling as the rock that braves The ooean billows still—he never prays ! When evening spreads Her solemn shades around him, and the world Grows, dim upon his eye, and many 'stars Scattered in glory o'er the vault of heaven, Call on the spirit to retire awhile From earth and its low vanities:and seek The high and holy intercourse with God Vouchsafed to mortals here—he never prays ! When morning kindles in the'Eastern sky, With all its radiant glory, and the sun Comes up in majesty, and o'er the earth Wakes all her agtive tribes to busilife, And breaks the death-like solitude that reigned Erewhile o'er Nature's face; when on his eye Earth smiled in beauty :neath the lucid ray, And feathered songsters pour their strains of joy Upon tis ear, still not a note of praise Or humble prayer arises from his lips. Morn after morn returns in all its sweet And peaceful loveliness; and oft invites His spirit to commune with God; but still He spurns the offer—still he never prays ! For the Preebyterlan Banner and Advocate. A Letter from the East. M. Holyoke—A Stage-Ride—An Illustration—A Theological Discussion—A Reflection. MR. EDITOR:-As I was interested in reading the remarks of your Correspondent upon the Seminary at Mount Holyoke, I submit to your disposal some account of their last anniversary, and of incidents con nected with the excursion. The address was by Dr. Fisher, of Cin cinnati, 0. He commenced by strictures upon the common practice of confining such addresses to some topic of female education, and demanded as wide a range of subjects as is allowed to addresses to schools of the other sex. A somewhat ominous exordium,; but if any trepidation was excited, it was soon allayed by the announcement of his• theme, John Calvin and John Wesley The school was in a highly flourishing condition, having had about a thousand ap plicants the past year, while able to accom modate only about three hundred. Opinions in regard to the character of the school, vary ; but it should be remem bored that it was desi g ned for a specific object—to make thorough scholars in the solid branches of education; and for a specific class; the laborious, self-denying, persevering part of our excellent female population. One who cannot put herself for the time being, on a level with these, should not enter the school, whether the inability arise from lack of health, or strength, or inclination. To see forty-nine young ladies receive their certificate of having passed through the regular curriculum of the Institution, ready, to enter upon the duties of life as reapers, (the class-badge is theristes) was an interesting sight ! We had the pleasure of having pointed out to us, with the speaker, the Rev. Drs. Hitchcock and Stearns, of Amherst College,. and Dr. Hawes, of Hartford Ct. The sight of the latter gentleman brought to our mind a pleasing recollection of "Lectures to Young Men," and " A Tribute to the Mem ory of the Pilgrims," which we had read with much interest in our school-boy days; and moreover induced a desire to become ac quainted with the author, a pleasure which we enjoyed even beyond our anticipation. The patrons of the school, and the clergy men present, were invited to dine with the school, in the Seminary hall. We took our place among the number, althoagh the state of "our health just then deprived us of the pleasure of partaking of the repast. We' did venture, by way of interlude to conver sation, to nibble a little of their bread; and ventured the remark, that if all the young ladies made as good bread as that, they had made 'a very important attainment besides what is usually acquired' in, the study and recitation room. As our kind entertainers were evidently, unhappy at our inability to do our part at-the table, our next neighbor on either hand, kindly proposed to make up the deficiency, so that all due honor should be done to the occasion, remarking that they could afford to do this, as one was just re covering from a long illness, and the other had missed his breakfast. The former was the Rev. Mr. Knight, from Lawrence,. Kan sas, where, for a year or two, he had shared the vicissitudes to which the settlers in that region have been subjected; having recently left on account of protracted illness from angue and fever. The latter was a clergy man from the State of Maine, who had come to, make application for his wife to enter as a scholar. • Among the incidents that interested us, was the result of in " Overture "- from the students of Amherst College, seven miles distant, for permission to enjoy social inter course with the, young ladies of the Semi nary. Permission on their part had been secured, and it now rested entirely with the Principal of the Seminary, whether the pleasure ,could ,be allowed. We were be yond'measure amazed that any gentleman of the College faculty could so far forget him self as to favor such a movement, especially without the concurrence: of the other party. But the Principal was fully equal to the emergency. " She stood firm and immova ble against it," were the words that reported her decision. It, was, gratifying to us to hear every one who spoke of it applaud Miss Chapin's decision. Honor to the worthy successor of Mary Lyon ! Bright and early next morning, we were off in one of the three crowded stages, for the iailroad, seven miles distant. SoOn after descending the eminence on which the Seminary is located, we found another hill of considerable elevation to ascend, aid we proceeded to about half way up, and came to a sudden halt. No skill of the driver could avail to advance another stop. After repeated efforts with such appliances as are usual on such occasions, he says to his as sistant, " Take off that horse The off wheel horse was soon detached from the team, the word was given, and our vehicle moved forward without more ado. It was amusing to notice the reflections occasioned by this incident. " Our team is like the Sybiline books, their value is in creased by diminishing their number':" "Our team resembles Gideon's army; re- , ducing its number increased its efficiency !' We might have added, our team resembles the Presbyterian Church, twenty years ago; its harmony and prosperity are promoted by reducing its size I Soon after leaving Springfield for Hart ford, we noticed that our seat-mate was Dr. Hawes, of the latter place. As we had spoken together at the Seminary, we were under no embarrassment now, in getting into conversation. Indeed, the kindness and affability of that good man would hardly leave, room for embarrassment under any circumstances. As we made inquiry, con cerning the Presbyterian church in Hart ford, he naturally asked if we were Presby terian; and the affirmative answer made no change in the affability of his manner toward us. A conversation folloived, the substance of which I here relate. He remarked, "There is a great amount of misapprehension among Presbyterians, in regard to the nature and working' of Con gregationalism among us." We admitted that something of the kind was quite prob able; and was proceeding to say there was a much greater amount of misapprehension among Cor ° irregationalists in regard to the nature and workings of Presbyterianism; but not perceiving this, (being slightly dull of hearing,,) he added : " Our Assteiations have as much influence over our churches and ministers as your Presbyteries have over yours !" If this means that their as sociations have as much authority over their members as our Presbyteries have over theirs, there is certainly a great misappre hension of the matter among us. In answer to his assertion, we ventured an allusion to Dr. Bushnell. His answer was, " Your ministers sometimes renounce your author ity !" I was surprised at the Doctor's logic. He did not like Presbyterianism. It was too' unwieldy. If error got in, it was so difficult to get it out! alluding to Presby terianism in England and in Scotland in days. past, in confirmation of his opinion. We replied, "I am not certain that a full view of all the facts in these cases would place Presbyterianism in any disadvanta geous light, as compared with Congregation alism; and certainly, in our own country, where each has had full scope to work out its legitimate results,Presbyterianism would not shrink from eing weighed in the balances with her sister of New England." He was like Dr. Bellamy; he did not like a big team, ! We thought of the big team with which we left the Seminary that morn ing. One of the horses belonging to the team was disabled, and a neighboring farm horse had been procured to take its place; and that one had to' be taken. out. We re plied that a big team was to be estimated by its harmony. If they work together, the bigger the better. He said, " I will ven ture an assertion, which I presume you will not believe, to wit :, I do not know a 'min ister in our association that would not adopt Dwight's T,heology (you know what that is ?) as his own !" " Now, you do not believe this !" "0 yes ;: I certainly believe that Dr. Hawes asserts the truth; that he faith fully expresses his opinion; but to me it re mains a question, how many of them would adopt Dwight on the same principle that Professor Park would adopt any creed be had ever seen, distinguishing between the religion of the intellect and the religion of the, feelings ?"He thought Professor Park's phraseology very unhappy, and had written to him upon the subject; but still he must maintain a distinction between language that is literal, and that which is figurative. For instance, the 'slst Psalm : "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me." And Ps. xxiii ; the literal weaning of which is, G-od is my protector and provider, and I can implicitly trust him ; but in the language of the Psalmist we are addressed through the senses, and the social feelings; indeed, all our powers and susceptibilities are brought into devout exercise by that piece of exqui site poetry. The difference between literal fold figurative language was • of course ad mitted ; and we added, " this fact often fur nishes a pretext fora convenient evasion." To this my friend assented, and we proceed ed : " take the 51st Psalm, to which you have alluded. What is the literal expres sion of the facts in that case? It is this : Afy mother was a poor, depraved member of a fallen, race! 1 was conceived and brought forth with, similar dispositions; subject to the same providential indications of _Divine displeasure, sorrow, pain and death I Now, L would ask, what combina tion of words could more concisely, and ac curately, and literally express these melan choly facts than that used by the Psalmist ?" "But 1 cannot bring my mind to believe— m Ido not think arty an can believe, (I am speaking very freely with a stranger,) butl do not see how it is possible to believe that a child is guilty and damnable for an act committed by another thousands of years before he was born !"- "The Psalmist seems to have had no diffi culty on this point ; Paul, nor the other sacred writers; although we are not re quired by this doctrine to suppose• that any infant, dying in infancy, is lost. The grace of Christ is as well adapted to their salva tion as to that of older sinners." " Will you point me to one passage of Scripture that says, in so many words, that all infants are saved ?" We were almost ready to smile to see with what facility the man who, for his own opinion, could :Appeal so confidently to the exercises of his own intellect, could at the same time demand the plainest "thus saith the Lord" on the other side. Withofit an swering this question, we proceeded : " Our inability to comprehend all the bearings of a statement does not disprove its truth, nor even probability; against the plain testimony of revelation. We do not suppose that in fants are guilty in the same degree, nor in the same sense, after the same similitude, as Adam, and other adults are ; but here are the facts in the ease : Children, by that one offence, are subjected to all the evils of sin, in this life—to death itself; they are treated as sinners, and always have been." "0, yes; children do suffer in , conse quence of their connexion with Adam; they have propensities to evil which lead them to sin; but they are not, shiners, in my sense of the term sinner, until they commit actual transgression." is I thought we were speaking of the Scriptural sense of the term sinner. ,But I cannot see any difference in the idea that infants suffer in consequence of Adam's sin, and that they suffer on account of it. , But if th'eSe infants die before transgres sion, what is to be the result of the develop ment of their evil propensities ?" "The blood of Christ and his Spirit rectify the disorder, and fit them for heaven." " But does Dr. Hawes make the blood of Christ necessary to free the soul from that which is not sin ?" "If it is called sin, it must be in a re : . striated sense—" " Hartford 1 ." cries the conductor. The Doctor, rose to leave, saying, "We shall not settle the point this time,"and we parted. We leave each to make his own comments on the foregoing. We were somewhat sur prised to witness what appeared to us a prejudice against the Presbyterian Church. The explanation did not occur to us un til some hours after. The statement may resemble one of his, in being bard to believe; bat it is a fact that the circumstance of our belonging to different ecclesiastical bodies that had recently entered upon a state of non-intercourse, did not occur to my, mind. during our interview 1 • I cannot help thinking, that if our New England brethren would study philosophy,, i falsely so-called, less, and Gospel simplicity more—consenting to call that sin which the Scriptures call sin, which God treats as sin, 1 which 'the blood of Christ, which was shed' 1 to cleanse from, sin, is . required to remove, lor rectify, they would lose nothing the . way of removing objections out of the path of sinners, .and would gain vastly on the 'score of simple faith in. God. Yours truly, E4e For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate Bible Narratives—No. 15. EARLY NATIONS—Gen. x : 32 Before the confusion of-tongues, by which the plans of the children of men were broken in regard to a consolidated einpire, the family of Noah seem not to have left the fertile banks of the Euphrates. The Hamites, as we have shown, took the lead in building a "city and a tower," .and in resisting the will of Jehovah to scatter the race " abroad upon the face of all the earth;" - yet, the Sacred Narrative (Gen. xi: 1-7) evidently conveys the idea that the greater part, if not the whole of the races of Japheth and Sheiri, united with them in their act of follY. When compelled to dis perse, the law pressed with its fullest force, first upon the children of Ham, and then upon those of Japheth, as perhaps the most guilty in the sight of God. But as usurped power is not yielded without a struggle, sometimes a terrible and long one, the posi tion taken by some of the descendants of Ham, kept back for a time the distinctive ness of the races of Noah's other two sons. It was not, perhaps, till after years of con'• filet, that the descendants of Shem gained the ascendency in the old home of the race; the last of the Hamites, either from choice or from, compulsion, following the path of their people to dwell among the mountains, ; upon the sand plains, and along the fertile rivers of the South. • Mizr, accompanied probablybyhis father, (Ps, cv: 27.) and also his brothers Phut and Canaan, pushed their way as emigrants to the South-West, till they came to the Mediterranean A part of the house of Japheth, at least a part of the family of Gomer, (Gen. x : 19,) may have joined their company. They stopped and settled in the fertile vale of Siddim, through which the Jordan at that time pleasantly rolled upon its way to. the Gulf of, Elath. They named the first settlement, which became and continued to be one of the chief cities of the Pentapolis, after the name of their ancestor. We cannot tell but the wickedness of the cities of the plain, and their signal destruc tion may have some connexion with a deter mination of their founders to resist the will of Heaven, and mingle races and settlements, though the law of sepvation had been stamped upon the countenances of the sons of Noah, and was afterwards branded upon .their tongues. Canaan and his family go no further than the valley of Esdraelon. From this they spread Northward along the sea, and up the slopes of Lebanon ; and South ward as far as the hill country which over looks Siddim, (Gen. x : 18, 19 ) Mizr and his bands stop not till they reach the fertile banks of the Nile; and - there they unite,' and the kingdom of Mizraim or Egypt is founded, which soon becomes a rival, in population and power, of the kingdom of Nimrod. Some of the descendants of Mizr after a time. went Northward from the mouth of the Nile, and settled the seacoast as far as Gaza.—Gen. x: 14. The children of Phut, associated with Egypt and Ethiopia, and sometimes with Tyre, (Ezek. xxx : 5; xxvii : 10,) after a while, settle Northern Africa ; wad perhaps a part of them unite with the descendants of Canaan in founding the Phcenieian Empire, which, in the days of Solomon, had become the mistress of the Great Sea.—Gen. x 15. Even when, after the age of Ezekiel, the power of Tyrus is broken, the people in such'raultitudes go to the home of their race, that Carthage and the kingdom of Dido, who is said to be a grand niece of Jezebel, (1. Kings xvi 31,) became so powerful as for a long time to be a successful rival to Rome, with alther rising greatness. Part of the most wealthy and powerful of the race of Ham still linger round Babel, and for several generations, keep tinder sub jection many of the families of Japheth and Sheo3.. As theoth,er early centre of the " power of this race was on the Nile, the country between was made tributary for a time to either the one or the other.--Gen. xiv : 4. Gradually, however, the ascendency of the Hatnites ceased upon the Euphrates. A part may have followed the father of the race to Egypt, which was at first, and, in the language of poetry, called by his name; and thus may have helped to make it so power ful and populous in early times. A part, with Cush or some one of his sons as leader, seem to, have emigrated to Southern Arabia, and afterwards across, the Straits of Babel Mandel to the head-streams of the Nile, and thence into the great central regidns of Africa. The small remnant which remained, were so lost in the Shemetic tribes, that by the days of Abraham, Asshur, Elam and Aram, sons of Shem, have the supremacy of the entire region washed by the Euphrates and the Tigris. Asshur built Nineveh, (G-en. x: U,) and founded the Assyrian empire, which is perhaps alluded to in the king of Shiner, (Gen xiv : 1,) and which in the age of Uz zitth and Homer, possessed the greatest city of the East.--Jonah iii : 3; iv : 11. Baby lon, at this time, had so gone to decay, that Nebuchadnezzar, two centuries later, boasted that he had built it.---Dan. iv: 30. Aram settled upon the banks of the Abona and of the Phanpar, and founded a kingdom called by his name, but which in ,our Bibles is rendered Syria. The sons of Arphaxad for a time remain in their old xesidence, and constitute a part of the empire of Assyria, of which Malden or Babylonia, eventually becomes a province, but apparently a troublesome one (Job i : 17,) to the race of Shem; till its plundering bands were all reduced, or had followed their race to their African home. Afterwards, a part of the descendants of Arphaxad, in the line of Eber and Terah, emigrated to the hill country of Canaan.—Gen. xi: 31; xii : 5. Perhaps it was not long prior to this that the race of Shem attained to the decided supremacy, and dared to carry their arms to the very border of Egypt.—Gen. xiv : 6. Another part may have gone Eastward, to settle upon the banks of the Indus, the Ganges, and the Jumna ; and in the islands of the Indian sea, where Solomon sent ships for a three years' voyage, for gold, peacocks and apes.-1. Ks. x : 22, comp. Gen. x : 29. Shem, himself, after halting awhile in the land of Elam, and by his wisdom guiding the settlement made there by his eldest son, may have been accompanied by Lud and by some from other families, on a distant emi gration,• till he found a home, far to the rising sun, on / the head streams of the Iloang- Ho and the Yang-tse-kiang. There he may have founded the very ancient empire of Sinim, Chinira or China,(ls. xlix : 12,) and for three or ifour hunred years may have done much tb fix the peaceful habits which Gibbon says'' belonged to the people as known to the early Ronians. They knew the country by tbe.name of Zenia, or Zenis tan, which is, a change similar to Zion for Sion. The children of Japheth, cross the Taurus Mountains and spread abroad to . the North and to the West. Me.dai founds the, empire of the Medes, which after Wards take posses sion of some of the tents of Shan; We find Biphath and Togarnialt, sons of Gamer, among the Rhiphean Mountains ' and upon the pas ture plains around the Black sea.—Ezek. xxvii 14. Ashkemaz may have given : names such as Ascania and Ascanius, which we find in the region of old Troy. Magog, Gru bol, and Meshech, were either mingled with the descendents of Javan, (Ezek. xxvii ;) or they are to be sought among the Caucas ian Mountains,-and thence among the Syth ian and Russian tribes of the North of Eu rope.—Ezek. xxxviii :2. Javan is the fa ther of the lonians or Greeks. Gen. x : Is. lxvi : 19. One of his sons settled in Spain which was the West, as Ophir was the East Indies of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel.—Jonah iv :6. Tires settled up= on the Tiras or Dneister river; and. after wards, as some suppose, removed and founded the kingdom of Thrace. • It seems not to be the design of the Bi ble historian to give a , full list of the chi' dren•of the three sons ,of Noah; but only those which may be traced as father's of ear ly nations, and which may enable us even at this ,day, with all the mingling of the races of men, to find the locality for each to correspond with 'the settlements made more than three thousand years . ago. That Mo ses had this object in view, is evident from the fact, that he names no females, and only mentions some of the grand-children of the sons of. Noah. There, is no inconsistency therefore in the supposition that some of the descendants of Gomer 'might; cast in their lots with the Hamites, give name to ti-omor rah, and their name be lost when it Was destroyed. ,Even Gotner himself may have settled where we find the only people of early times which lnar traces of his name. Thus from Bible Narrative, and from the few reliable hints of Profane History, it is evident that Enrope, or the "Isles of the. Gentiles," was the home of the children of Jepheth; while. Shem and Ham passed to the East, and to the. South to take posses sion of the other two divisions of the an cient World. G. W. S. S. R Wifie, Come Hame.---A Scotch Ballad.

Winter Care of.Anintals In the general arrangement of stables, as regards location, construction, warrnpth; dryness, ventilation, &C., there is much sim ilarity in the wants of both cattle and horses. They need to be equally well sheltered and provided,for in respect to rains, cold, and all the inclemencies of weather at this peri od of the year, and each class will warrant a generous outlay at the hands of its miners. On the score of economy, if prompted by no liigher motive, cattle should be sheltered. The Rhole subject reduces itself to the ques tion of "Boards vs. Beef." Good warm quar ters will be found equal to about one-fourth of the food required to sustain the animal economy, while the fatty matter will not be wasted in the attempt—vain one—of giving sufficient caloric to keep up a system exposed to all the rigors of our Northern climate, • _ Stock to pass through the Winter well, should come to the stable in good condition,. this principle, we think, is incontrovertible. It will be found "up hill work," to rally wasting energies, or even to keep, in condi tion, during Winter months, animals that may claim paternity to the lean kind of PnARAOH. Cattle: of this variety may an swer very well for those desiring to learn something of anatomy, but to endure the vi cissitudes of our cold, raw.weather, give them a covering of fat, and see that it is put on properly. There is nothing equal to it for the comfort and ease of the animal. Another general principle in the Winter care of stock, is, a good condition of flesh. ought to be sustained The system should not be allowed to diteriorate durbg . the months of stabling. The juices must be kept up, and when grass returns, tbere should be no " Spring poor"• among your cattle. If there is, a long time is wasted: in the - operation of recruiting; and, in ad dition, the expense of keeping is, much"in creased. Cattle should be fed regularly. The Vottrg. Agricultural. CATTLE: question of " twice or thrice a day" is of , less importance than the one—have they i had all the food desirable, and is it of such variety and quality as will best meet the ends required ? Every farmer who has done his duty, now has, in growth, a sufft- 1 cient supply of roots, to meet one desider- 1 atum—the changes in food that are calcu lated to give a tone to the stomach and di gestive organs. Many farmers feed lightly twice a day under cover, and allow the ani mals to roam at will among the stacks to obtain the demands of nature, which, to say the least, is a wasteful policy. • Good barns and sheds could soon be constructed with the value of hay thus destroyed, and, in ad dition, where this course is pursued, the strong animals triumph over the weak. One portion of the stock will come out in Spring as though well cared for—the other mere skeletons. On this account there should be plenty of rack room, and it might be advisable to fasten the master portion of the herd. Furthermore,, every portion of food should be g iven out , by the hands of the owner, and should be either cut or ground'. Keeping, the stables' clean is a matter that should not be overlooked The droppings should be removed daily—and if manure is the object, let the litter go with it. After the manure has been taken off, give the floors _ ~a sprinkling of plaster or pulverized charcoal—either of which will absorb all unpleasant smell and serve to keep the sta bles clean and sweet, and will-also, tend to increase the value of the manure heap. Mims Cows.---In the care of milch cows, cleanliness is an essential. Their I quarters must have, attention, and be thor oughly gone over daily. Probably the best period for performing this operation is in the evening, just before spreading their bedding for the night. ,Cows should not be crowd ed in stalls, but each should have sufficient room to make choice of the particular spot on which to lie down, and if curried and cleaned they' will soon exhibit a partiality in this respect. Among the varieties of food most exten sively used and esteemed, are carrots. Itis said that their action upon the lacteal organs is very, satisfactory, and that they give to the butter an excellent flavor. .At any period during Winter, from stabling to turn ing, out to „grass, they can be used advan tageously, and, especially in new milch cows before giving them in Spring , a chance. at green food. A little bran, say six' quarts daily, mixed with cut hay or straw, both being wet up together, will make great im provement in the milking properties, as well as serve to keep the animal in . good condi tion. In feeding, the fodder,. whether of hay, straw, corn-stocks or roots, should be cut. It will be a saving so to do, and in addition, it assists the animal economy, which, of itself, is an item of no light im port. Joel Barlow, author of the poem en titled Hasty Pudding, had a keen percep tion of the wants of this valuable animal. We quote the following therefrom " When the chili'd earth lies buried deep in snow, And raging Boreas dries _ the shivering cow: Bless'd cow ! thy praise shall still my notes employ, Great source of,healib, the only source of joy; Mother of Egypt's god—but sure, for me, Were I to leave my God, Pd worship thee. How oft thy teats these pious hands have • pressed !' How oft thy bountieS proved my only feast! How: oft I've fed thee with my favorite grain! And roar'd, like thee, to find thy children slain ! Ye, swains who know her various worth to prize, Ah ! house her well from Winter's angry skies! Potatoes, pumpkins 'should her sadneds cheer, Corn' from your crib, arid Mashes from your beer; ' When Spring returns, sh'll well acquit the loan, And nurse at once'your infants and her own." - If you wish to,have your cows profitable —to . "give down" liberally and freely when you are inclined to-" draw ; upon them" they must have such food as will tend to the se cretion of milk: Dry hay will not do this ; they need to be fed well, and a variety must be, given in their " _bill of fare." Good food, good bedding, and that dry; good water, and a sufficiency of it—to sum it all up—good care and attention must be given to'them, and then, it 'they refuse to yield, a ready coMpliance with all righteous demands place them in that position, where naught but, the biped man,, has heretofore held sway,• among: the ingrates.--I?urat New Yorker.

The readers of the Banner and Advccalt will recollect I published a notice last Winter, headed "The Last Call to Stuttering and Stammering Persona," in which lannonneed Was the only chance they would ever have of getting cured, and all who desired the cure should either send for it by mail or call themselves before the 10th of March, as on that day I had made arrangements to resign my profession, and retire from the practice. Since the 10th, 1 have personally consulted forty. and sent the cure by mail to sixty indi viduals. In every instance perfect satisfaction has been rendered. In Justice to all who are so unfortunate as to stutter or stammer yet. I have thought proper to give another opportunity of being cured, and therefore would respectfully request them to send me $2O, iwhich is lees than my usual fee,) and I will immediately send them my cure. By so doing they save the expense of traveling. I am a responsible man, and if my cure is not effectual I will agree to refund the money. Recollect, this care never fails. Address Dr. WYCKOFF, Box 746, Pittsburgh Post Oftlisi. There has been a floating population of imposters travel. lug the country, professing to cure impediments of speech by my system, and many, have had the audacity to advertise in my name, and give the names of men for reference whom they never knew or .saw. When persons who Stammer called, those men would represent me, and in several in stances produce a certificate purporting to be mire, vesting in them ftill power and authority to practice as my Agents. I have frequently warned the Public of those men, as they are not In full possession of my system, and cannot cure. Through untiring perseverance, I arrested two of them; and others will sooner or later share the same fate. This cure for Stuttering or Stammering is one of my own discovery, for which I have a, copy right, secured by law, and have successfully practised the same for the term of nine years. My references are of the highest order, such as the Medi cal Faculty of New York, Philadelphia, and the University of Virginia, all the Press of Pittsburgh, Washington, Greensburg. and Uniontown, Pa., besides fifty thousand persona in different parts of the country. - • This cure for Stuttering and Stammering Is performed. in . less than one hour. There is no pain or surgical operatio n attending it. The beauty of all this is, it will cure children of Ave, and adults at the age of one hundred years. A person who is cured by it, can never again stutter, even if they try. I of fer to forfeit $lO,OOO if any person can ever afterwards Stut ter, by ap .ftcation of the cure. . _ It was .thaerly customary to announce, that no pay would be required unless a perfect cure was performed. That was done to show the people thero would be no risk in giving me a trial. But now, inasmuch as the leading citi zens of Pittsburgh, know my cure never fails, it would be superfluous to make another such announcement. my3l-tf DR. WYCKOFF.
