A Temperance Speech by the Ra-
Almost every one has either seen or beard
of Henry Smith, the 'Razor Strop man!—
He is a noble, whole-sonled fellow, always
ready to sells 'razor 'strop, or preach a Tem
perance lecture. The following extract from
one of Smith's .speechea, is a fair sample of
his ready wit and tmique style ,of argu
ment:
ginen,l was a drunkard, not only was my
wife and myself ball starved; but my old 'eat'
was also reduced to a perfect skeleton. And
not only that, but she grew wicked, and be
came an out and out thief.' 'Cause why ?
Why she , couldn't get enough to eat at.home,
so she wont prowling and stealing among the
neighbors. .
'Every once in .a while, I'd hear the neigh
bors cry out, 'Cuss that Smith's she's
stole my meat--=cuss that Smith's' oat, 'she's
stole my fish—and cuss that Smith's cat, she
drank up all my milk.' But why didn't she
stay at home and catch mice and live on
them, sayryort; -reason enough, says-I, for
our mice couldn4..get orumba:,`ortneat and
bread like a sober man's mice' can, so they
had to live* therecollectidas'Of what they
used t fd•.eat"-befote
.intrOr liecame -a
diunkaid; and at last 'they' g'otthin' and
scraggy that WV tifthein" wouldn't fill , the'
old' cat'sliollni' tooth.' '
*but WhenTrefOrined, things . took a xfif
ferent turn.' 'Smith's "'table had, plenty of,
fish and meat on' it, and Smith's mice 'bid
pleoty_of_crumbs e , and grew, nicely,,', and
Smith'sjmt lied plenty of mice, and- didn't
have 'to eieal the neighbors' 'fish - and Meat
any more. No,air, my mice were fat and
plump, and my old eat was spry Nod active,
and didn't take fifty to make a meal anther.
No, sir-ee. ,Tbe Ad eat would catch two
mice, and 'these IWo 'was- as much as she
could.iiat at . one meal, and when she eat them
she would lie down and go to sleep, and af
ter a good. night's rest s shed wake up in the
morning with the pleasing satisfaction of
knowing that the nice c fat, plump mice were
not all gone, bat there wore a few moreleft

Still the angel stars are shining,
Still the rippling waters flow,
But the angel voice is silent
That I heard here long ago,
Hark ! the echoes murmur low
Long ago!
Still the wood ltr'dim and lonely,
Still the plashing fountains play,
But 'the past and all ititbeauty,
Whither has it fled away?
Hark ! the mournful echoes say
Fled away !.
Still the bird of night complaineth—
Now, indeed, her song is pain—
Vipions of my happy hours, '
DO I call and call in vain I .
Hark ! the echoes cry again
All in vain'.
Cease, 0 echoes, mournful echoes !
Once loved your voices well;
Now my heart is sick 'and weary,

All through the evening the man's rook

'How shocking!'
Ido not know how it was, but I felt a

broke my egg. 'What is it, MY dear?
'Oh! such a terrible story. 'A discharged

Poultry.
No one should keep too large a stook of.
poultry. They do not thrive well, kept to
gether, in large numbers. They become sicik•
ly, infested with lice, and ray but few eggs.
They need a good range where they can find
plenty of insects—and if kept in large num
bers, these insects, are distributed among so
many that they do but little good to any.—
Some thiiik that by supplying Meat the loss
of insects can be overcome; but we have nev
er seen•thie effectual. ,It is true, in Win
ter, hens must be supplied with meat if you
expect them to lay.We have kept various
numbers of hens,and W e
come to the con.
elusion that the most profitable number for
eggs is about thirty, We got more eggs
whin we kept thirty hens-than when we
kept.seventy. And we believe that every
one who will try the. experiment will find
'that our experience will be his own.
A warm hen-house is needed in Winter,
if you would-have your hens lay. If allow
ed to roost in trees, and left exposed to
storms of rain and snow, and to the intense
cold that prevails, you need not expect fresh
eggs. Bat with a warm house, plenty of
feed and water, and some meat, your hens
will reward .you with nice fresh eggs, which
are such s great luxury served' up in so many
forms iipon every gentleman's tablo.-L,Amer
