' ' '' .' t From the American Farmer, , .,
; THE HOG AN ESS AT.'1 s
I waa rjoite interekted ia the Esuar nn the
Hog, in jour February number. Much in
rornmtion waa imparted, and lome that I
cem important and should be generally tin
deretiMid, wig uinitted.. , . .
" Male and females should not breed un
til twelve months old.", Excellent advice.. It
is ton Biurh the practice to let a young sow
hare a litter by the time she is twelve or fif
teen months old, and then kill her. . .
This is decidedly wrong. . Those who de
sire line pigs bhould keep one or mure breed
ing bows ("according to the si.e of the farm
or stock titer intend to raie). After two or
three litters they general! v. improve as moth
ers. Thej are large and "roomy; thejr bring
much larger, stronger and more pigs at a lit
ter, than a year old ow. They nurse their
pigs well, take more care of litem, have a bet
tar supply of milk, and pig from a two, three
r6ve year old sow will grow twice as fast
and be twice the size at lour week old, of
those rotu a young sow. f , , ,,s . (
, A large old breeding sow is worth as much
as a good Cow to a farmer, and will net him
as much and more with less labor. She will
have certainly two litters a year,, or five in
two years, and will average teu at a litter af
ter the third or fourth litter; and as good pigs
will bring f 2 each, or f 40 a year, it is more
than a cow will produce.
1 say, don't kill old sows. Remember they
are good nurses and experienced mothers. It
is the wild and reckless young sows that kill
the pigs. When a sow litters she should not
have too much straw, and what is furnished
khould be Terr clean, and short cut straw is
the best; but dry clean leaves from the woods
is still better.
Thoae who keep a large boar and large sows
for breeding find their gain in it; and those
who have not tried it, and will do so, will
find it fo their advantage. 8uch is the ex
perience of one who has tried it, and the re
sult was highly satisfactory. . J. C. T.
PLANTING EARLY POTATOES.
As soon as the weather is open ami the

light, sandy mould, if putsible. Manure it
broadcast, with about hall the manure you
intend to apply, dig tlidt in to the depth of
the spade, rake finely; then lay nfl rows lour
inches deep, three feet apart; then strew the
residue r the manure along the rows, place
the sets ten inches apart in the rows, and
cover. Then give the bed a broadcast dress

one part planter and one part sail; taking
care to give the drills a full dusting. The ; cavaliers were in Ihe saddle caracoling around

PUE VENTING AN ELOPEMENT.
A writer in the Democratic Quarterly Review.
tin aketching life si Badeu liadeu, records the foi-
lowing incident
A noble Hungarian lord, Count Christian
W , had tome to pass the season at B-den,
accompanied by his daughter Helen. Young,
bra'iliful, el arming, and heiress to an immense
fortiina kit her by net mother, the young Coun-
tea anon found herself surrounded by a host of
admirers. Adorers of all kinds were nol want
ing rich and poor, noble and obscure, lender
and passionate, grave and giy. It was a perpe
tual imiriMmrnl, of which ah was the queen,
snd where ihe aspirant enatentled for liei hand
by exhibiting Ihrir ad Ireae, grace and seductive
qualities. When she entered her carriage, ten
Russian were particularly mortified. Among!
these pressing suitors Helen srltcied Ihe moai
worthless. 1 lie Chevalier Gaeten M was,
it is true, a charming fellow, pale and delicate,
with fine blue eye, and long black wavy hair.
lu ihe place of true passion, he had eloquence "f
Count, after having informed himself ( iheae
facie, d aired, but loo laie, in put hi daughter
on hr-r guard against a dangerous a flection. He
ten listened neither to the advice, the prayers
'I" 'der of her father. The msn for whom
he endesvnred to destroy her esteem wss already
tuaatei of her heart, and she nbslinately n fued
to believe in the disgraceful antecedents of the
young Italian. If Gaetan had had lo rlo with a
father who laeked enegy, perhaps ha would
have become Ihe nappy Unhand of iba young
jt - oumrse, and me peaceini posseaaoi oi in im-
jine. ae fortune with which he was so frantically
in love. But the Count knew how to carry Ins
point either by management or force. He wa
an old lion, lie bad preserved all the vigor of
vouth. and alt the rude firmness of sn indomita
ble character, which nothing but paternal ten
derness had ever softened. Helf w illed in his re
solutions, stern in his execution nf them, he east
about for mean to put Aor u tombat line car
pet knight, who hid dared to undertake to be.
eome Ins eon in law in spite of him, when ac
cident threw ii.io Ins hands a letter which Gaf Inn
had written In Helen. The Chevalier, impatient
in attain the goal nf his desires, proposed, in ih-
rect tetma, to the voting Countess, an elopement,
and proposed a r (.imlereiine meeting, at the hour
when Ihe Count wss in the habit of going out to
plsy whist with some gentlemen ol Ins acquain
tance al the Conversation Honee.
A rose placed in Helen's bell waa lo be ihe
signal of eonsent.
The young girl had not read the adroitly inter
cepted note. Put this flower in your Lett.
said the Count to her, offering rose, and
eome with me." ,
Helen smiling obeye t, am! look her faihrr's
arm. In Ihe course pf their walk they met Grs
at it. aim. Mine' llie roa. am a.,i,it.l
1 Then the Count conducted his da ghief loihe
residence of one of their acquaintances, and re
quested her to wait until he came lor her. 1 hat
done, he returned to the little house in which he
lived, at the outskirts of linden, on the Lichten-
thai road. He had sent away his servant, and
was alone. At the appointed hour Gaetan ar
rived at the rendezvous, leaped I ghtly over tbe
wall of the garden, and finding the door (hut,
entered the bout through one of the low win
dows. Then mounting the stairs, filled with
pleasing emotions, he directed his step towards
the apartment of Helen. There, instead of the
daughter, ke found the father, armed with a
brace or pistols, Ihe Count closed Hie door,
and said to Ihe wretched Gaetan, trembling with
terrors ..... .;
I could kill you ; I have the right to do so.
You have entered my house at night. Yuu have
broken into it. , I could treat you ss a felon i
nothing could be more natural." ,
" liut, sir," replied Gaetan, almost inaudibly,
I am not a robber."
; And what aie you then T You have eome
In steal my daughter to steal an heiress to
steal a fortune. Here is your letter, which un
veiled to me your criminal intentions. , I shall
show you nn merry I But to take your life, 1
had no nerd of this trnp. You know the skill
of my right si m) s duel would havo long sgo
ride me of yon. To avoid scandal I did not
wish a duel, and now I will alay yuu only at tka
last extremity, if you refuse to obey Qie."
What is your will, sir!"
" You mum leave 13 iden ; not ia a few days,
not to-morrow, but lh ia very in.tant. You must
put two hundred league between it and you, and
never again rnnm in the presence of my daugh
ter or myself. At ihe price of your obedience,
atid to pay your liavrllmg expenses, 1 will give
yoa twenty thousiid frauct." ' '
Tha Chevalier wished to speak. "
M Not a wuid 1" cried the Count, in a voice of
thunder. " Yuu know ine.uiukrsund ! I hold
jour life at my mercy, and a moment's hesita
tion will be punished with death."
I obvy," summered the Chevalier.
In goml time ! ' Your twenty thousand
franca are in that secretary, t.ikc iliein 1"
. " p, mm me 0 decline you offer."
An imperious gesture over the false modesty
which tiie Chevalier expressed IVebly, and like
a man who decline (nr form's sake.
Hut," said he, " the secretary is locked."
"Ojien it."
Ther is nn ley in it."
Break the lock, ihen."
What ! you wish me to 1"
Bre..k the lock, or I'll ehnot you."
, The pistol was ngain prrsemcd, as an argu
ment which admitted no reply. Gaetan obey
ed. " ' ;
- It is well !" said Ihe Ccmnt. "Take) that
package of bank notes; they are youis. Have

Almost four ihnuaandyear ago, Moe wrote
the following sentence; In ihe beginning

is the first sentence in the Bible. Iiclratly im

assumes as a known truth, ihe rgisicuce of onr

created it. Centuries after this sublime sentence

Poino axd not Drkadixo. If we spend the
time, the nervous energy snd mental fire in doing
the duties ol life, which we often spend in dread
ing them, we and the world would beslrongerand
better. All the severe tasks ol life only gruwr
more formidable aa we look al ihem from a dis
tance, while we grow weaker all the while, and
less disposed lo grapple with them. We should
inquire, with an honest, brave heart, with what
of mental energy we can summon at the moment
we should go forward to perform them. In the
very act of attempting to do there we shall gain
strength to do them. Not before, but at the
time, needed strength will come. Not white
we dread, but while we do the work of life, the

EDUCATION AND OCCUPATION.
It is stated that of the six hundred and lis
convicts who now occupy the Ohio Peniten
tiary, two hundred and forty-four cannot read
or write, and four hundred, or nearly sixty
per cent, of the entire number.Jiave no trades.
This brief return is full of meaning. There
are two great essentials for success in life
education and regular occupation. There
are others, but these are among the most im
portant. Moral training should, of course,
never be lost sight of. But without a habit
of industry, which can only be induced by re
gular occupation, the perils to the young are
r... r..i si. . . ...:.!.!. .
icaiiui. niiuuBh iiij u auc is uciter man nunc.
The crror.with many parents is to neglect
this great essential until too late, when the
habits become formed and fixed, and thus all
useful control is lost The figures quoted
from the annual report of the Ohio Peniten
tiary tell and point out the true causes of the
misery and crime that prevail throughout the
land. The annals of other and like institu
tions tibound with similar details. Many
children are over-indulged and are thus ru
ined. They are permitted to follow their
own inclinations, and, with no experience of
the world and its nays, they naturally go
astray. It is indeed difficult at times to knotr
hat is best to be done. We are all apt
t fancy that nur own offspring possess re
markable qualifications, and hence to iouk
to some very elevated pursuit or calling as
eminently calculated fur them. Too often we
mi-judge, and by a mistaken partiality place
tlieiu in a sphere for which they'are unfitted.
But, we repeat, regular occupation should be
regarded as an essential. Some trade, calling
or pt ofesiirnit should be selected and fully ac
quired. At least the habit of industry would
be secured, and thus the firt great step tu
auccess in life, liut the longer we delay tiiu
greater will be the difficulty.
The old and experienced cannot encounter
idleness without great risks. How cruel,,
then, to submit the young and thoughtless tu
such i fiery ordeal f The parent, too, who
neglects to give his son a business may well
be reproached by that son in after life. Oc
cupation is the great safeguard. It not only
engrosses the mind, but it curbs and restrains
the passions. It not only elevates the indi
dividal in his own estimation, but it makes
him useful and independent. He feels that
jhis faculties are la-lied and exrerted, and he
! therefore contributes aomcting tulhe well-be-!
ing of society. Nay, the real powers, mental
ami puysicai, can never oc lull r known until
called into play by some emergency of pro
fvtsiunal life or business requirement.
Neve titleless, there are hundreds of young
men who are permitted to grow up with false
notions of position, influence, and pride, and
who find, to their regret, when they become
a little older and wiser, that they hate been
wasting the beat years of their youth in the
vain ciitii cits produced by idleness or tiie vi
sionary speculations engendered by inexperi
ence. Again, therefore, we earnestly urge
the necessity of a regular occupation, it may
seem irksome at first, but it will soon lose
its severity and terror; while the tact, infor
mation, the knowledge, and the art thus ac
quired will strengthen and fortify fur almost
any emergency oi life. A fair education, in
dustrious habits, and a uaiful calling are in
finitely ti.oi taibaul than a fortune without
llitaC priceless qualities.
