No ray of nomflirt in the -gathering doom ;
A heart bereaved, a hohsehold desolate.

Keeping mellow 'open a couch of pain,
Longing etch morning for the weary night,
At 'night for Weary day, to Come again.

Or little duties pressing on my heart,
Of little troubles hard to reconcile,
Of inward struggles, overcome in`part.

REMAINS IN VERSE AND PROSE OF AR
THUR HENRY HALLAM. With a Preface
and Memoir. 16at0., , pp. 439. Boston : Tick
nor, Biel& For sale by henry Miner, Fifth
Street, Pittsburgh.
The celebrated elegiac poem, "In Memoriam,"
composed by Tennyson on the loss of his inti
mate friend Hallam, has long invested the name
of the latter with the charm of melancholy in
terest. To those who are familiar with this
warm tribute of affection, the volume before us
will come with a recommendation independent of
its intrinsic merits.
The editor of this collection of Mr. Hallam's
literary efforts is the eminent Constitutional His
torian and the father of the deceased poet and
essayist. The Memoir written by the father is
creditable alike to himself and his son. It is
calm, dignified, profitably suggestive, and withal
becomingly affectionate. The literary remains
themselves are of no common order. The poetical
pieces are characterized by sublimation of feel
ing, vividness of conception, fervor of expression,
and for the most part by ease of versification.
The essays evince extensive information, inde
pendence of thought, critical acumen, and much
elegance' and energy in composition. Neither
the poetical nor the prose pieces are, however, by
any means faultless. Both in respect to style
and sentiment they are open to criticism.

The greater number of these poems have been
called out by the• present war. The national
pieces breathe forth the spirit of ardent patriot
ism and enthusiastic devotion to the cause of hu
man freedom.
The Home Ballads and Occasional Pieces are
in the main beautiful and excellent. We regret,
however, to 'notice the somewhitt irre!erential
nse, at .times, - of the Creator's namel And we
must object to the Sentiments of "The Cry of a
Lost Soul,'!- athat •varianoe with the teachings of
Inspiration, however harmonious they may be
with the sin-extenuating views of fallen man.

The Nation's Duty to Slavery (preached on the
occasion of John Brown's raid in Virginia);
Against a Compromise of Principle; Modes and
Duties of Emancipation; the Church's Duty to
Slavery ; Christianity in Government; Liberty
under Laws; The Southern Babylon.

For sale in Pittsburgh by R. 8. Davie.
' The writings of Gail Hamilton are character
ized by humor, wit, exuberance of fancy, and by
a dashing energy of style that carries one along
in an almost constant whirl of pleasurable ex
citement. They are, howe.ver, obnoxious to
some severe criticism. Where ever errors of
faithor practice are the subject.of animadversion,
the author writes in a spirit far , too foreign from
that of the Gospel. She slashes away as though
she rejoiced far more in displaying her powers of
sarcasm'than in vindiCating the - Divine honor, or
reclaiming the , offenders.

To some expressions in the volume, especially
on the part of Winny; the household servant, we
must take decided exception. For example, she
is represented in one place as upbraiding the re
fractory boy Osear,in the following irreverential
terms: "Who do,yon suppose is a going to have
any mercy on you when yen, YOudon't
think now God would have any such boys in
heaven',.as you ? Why, you would be slicking
a hole through the floor, and a letting the star's

condemn as

The Worsted Thread ; or, Small Beginnings.
4 , I don't want to write any more at sehool
this Winter," said little Sammy Harden to
his -father one morning.
" Why not, my son r
"Because I make such bad work of it."
" That is not a good reason."
"I want to wait till I am older."
."Being older won't mend the matter.
Only practice will do that."
"If you could see how my m's and t's
look, you would think I h.d better quit
it."
"Bring home your writing'book to=night,.
and I will look at them."
" I am ashamed to have .you see them."
" If you have done the best you can,
you have no cause to be ashamed."
That night Sammy brought home his .
writing-book, and in-the evening his father
examined it,
"You have seen my llooks at the office,"
said Mr. Harden, after looking at the page
which had disceuraged Sammy so muoh:.
"Yes, father, I have seen them several
times, and I heard Mr. Lathrop say that
you were, a capital penman."
" Would you not like to write as well?" ,
Yes, sir, indeed, I should."
"I began by writing just such a page as
this."
" Was it as bad ?" -
"I'think so:"
"Can ever learn to-write as well as
you." '
"I have no doubt you can, but you must
learn not to despise small beginnings. I
once read of a man who was aetidentally
left alone on the top of a very high chim
ney, without ladder, or: scaffold, or rope to
help him to get down, and he got' down at
List by the aid of a fine worsted thread."
" How could he do that ? He could not
let himself down by the worsted thread."
" Certainly not. 6
"Please tell me the story, father. How
came the man there?"
" There are some very lofty chimneys in
the manufacturing towns of England and
Scotland. There is one in'Glasgow over four
hUndred and thirty feet high, and between
thirty and forty feet diameter at the base.
This man, with some other workmen, was,
employed in building one of these lofty
chimneys. When it was finished, the other
men got down and took. away the scaffold,
leaving this man alone on the top."
" Why did he not get down with'the other
workmen before the scaffold was taken.
waay
" He remained to see that all was right,
intending to let hiinself down by a rope at
tached to, an iron prepared for this, purpose.
When everything was completed, and, he
was ready to descend, he discovered that
the rope had not been left with him.
" The rope 1 the rope 1": he shouted in a
voice of terror. '
" Those below looked around, and saw to
their dismay that the rope lay coiled on the'
ground beside them. They had taken
down the scaffold and forgotten to carry up
the rope. It was' a sight which struck:ter
ror into every heart, for
__the chininey was
so high that the rope could not be thrown
" The poor man was now in great trouble.
It made his head swim to think hoW far he
was standing from the ground, and no way
to get down. He had a wife and little boy
whom he dearly loved. In that dreadful
hour he thought how soon his wife would
be a widow, and his boy fatherless.
" The little boy was among those who
stood gazing at him from below. , He had
come to see the great ~ hininey finished, and
and return home with his father after the
work was done., He- now nu home to, his
mother as fast as =he could. 6 0 mother.'
he cried, ghe can't get down? Who can't
get down 7' 'Father • they have taken
down the scaffold, and forgot to leave-the
rope' The poor woman'uttered one cry of
dismay, and then with her boy, ran to the
spot as fast as she could. -
" A crowd had collected, but not one of
them could think of any way, to help the
poor-man to get down. gHe is losing his
senses,.and will soon throw himself down,"
said one. His wife called -to him to hold
on, and keep up his courage. She then di
rected him tO take' off his stocking, ravel
out a part of it, attach a piece - of mortar to
the end to make it heavy, and then let it
down.. After giving these directions to her
husband, she sent her boy to one of the
men to ask.fora ball of twine.
" Tee man obeyed his wife's directions;
and soon they saw the fine thread coming
down, driven hither .and thither, by the
wind. As soon as it came within reach,
the wife seized it and fastenedit on to the

Paris correspondent told us that a congress
of the members of the illuitrious house of
the Rothschild had been sitting at Paris.
The purport of the meeting was nothing
less than - , to rearrange the domi3dons of the
great banking dynasty. In one word,- the
great object of,the Rothschild _congress was
to reduce the five branches of the house who
now rule Europe, to lour, and following the
example of. '"Garibaldi, to •strike , another;

outside, form a perfect protection for every
berry that is raised.
A hedge of this sort is set out in less
time, and becomes a full protection sooner,
than one of Osage Orange. If, as may
prove-the fact, it will require more labor
to keep it in cultivation, the crop or fruit,
and the sale of young plants, will certainly
abundantly compensate the disadvantage.
Every part of the United States, doubt
less, have nurseries of ready access, where
th 6 Lawton Blackberry can be obtained.

Uinta on Feeding and Fattening.
Animals destined for the shambles are
disposed •of to the butcher to the best ad
vantage, if well fattened. The reason is,
that the flesh of a fat animal is better than
that• of a lean one, more delicate in flavor,
tenderer, sweeter f juicier—this aside from
the value of the fat itself. A very fat an
_imal ii - not in a natural Condition, and ,
on
this, account it, is desirable that the feeding
:should be brought as rapidly and steadily
as possible =to a consummation. It is most
undesirable to have_ any check, to:the steady
laying on of flesh and fat; positive •falling
,off in flesh is with. ; sheep usually fatal,to
,their ev,er fattening well. Fattening ani
mals are peculiarly liable to, certain obscure
,disorders; owing to the unnatural eirouixt
.stances in which they urn placed. Good
farmers therefore=cxert themselyes to keep
Stock stalled for fattening,,healthy, - by giv
ing, them. the ,comfort , of, clean Atalls, the
tonic 9f fresh air, the,,ineressed appetite
accompanying k yeriety or change of diet,
- a healthy 13kin lieenrettby occasional "cuiry
ing, now and then a li,ttle salt as, an appe
tizer, and to seeure''freedom krom anxiety
by quiet Surroundings, regular feeding, and
the kindest treatment.
In feeding swine, which are the most ea;
sily fattened' of our domestic animals, great
economy may be exercised by feeding very
regularly, by cooking the food, by decasion
ally feeding raw roots in small messes as a
general correctiVe;by fooling broken
up charcoal new and then, .or giving the
hogs access-to it, and securing cleanliness
whre they are fed in pens. .It is well to
remove from such hogs the indueement to
exercisein rooting, by wiring their noses.
A hard worked'ox will .never grow fat.
The more:work, he does, the less will he lay
on. fat, the amount of food being equal;
and conversely, the lessilT works, the more
easily' will he, fatten:,Used in a " horse-
Power;" he may. ; grind much corn ; stand
' ing in-his stall he may grind only' that
which he himself consumes. Labor is ex
pended in both,cases, and why may we not,
argue that the fattening ,of the, animal is
• retarded in proportion to the amount of la .
bor he does, and that.the labor of the beast
in grinding his,own corn is thus a loss to
the . farmer. Cooked feed digests more ea
sily than raw;, that is, the stomach labors
less. Do we not profit therefore iti,cook=
ing the i-Ood, even of neat stock ? In feed:
ing this 'class of animals, the moderate 'fer
mentation of hay and stalks in connexion
With bran or corn meal and a little 'salt,
whereby the stalks become sefteried and the
flavor of the meal and salt is - disseminated
throughout the 'mais, his been found a
great saving. This is cooked without fuel.
= Steaming of fodder is extensively practised
also, as is well known, with' economical re
sults where it is conducted on a sufficiently
large scale, and with requisite care. Sheep
are best fed on raw Material.. Let them
- grind their own grist& For seine reason
they .seem to have better health for it.
The exception does not militate against
the rule, but shows the.neeessity of watolt
ing the effect upon all animals, of artificial
diet and unnatural surroundings.—Ant.
