I Am Weary.
I weary witching shadows,
rhautoms of the distant past,
Loving forms of life- and beauty
Sleeping 'ncath the sod at last.
I am lonely, oh, so lonely !
Breathes my soul these words of woe
As 1 wait beside the river,
Watching fares feme and go.
lieady when the silent li.atiiiiiii
Points t'. me his bony hand,
Then across the Mygiau watt rs
To the orient shore beyond.
Well I know that brow so rigid.
And the pale lips cold and thin ;
And the eyes now elosed forever
Tell me I must enter in.
So I take my seat beside him,
There to cross the turgid tide,
Hailing o'er the mm of ihukiies.
Wat.-hing for the other si.lc
Looking for the shining portal
Opening out of its gates of gold :
Welcoming home the weary lost one.
There to join the Master's fold.

animals in general have vital systems
exactly like those of man, and seemingly
an sensitive too. A Jose of any particu
lar poison is just as f.ital to a large dog
as to a man of similar weight.und poisons
that are breathed in by the lungs
of a horse find their way just as quickly
to the blood as they would if inhaled
by man, woman or child, while bad food
is just as mischievous in its eil'ects upon
the health of animals as of humans.
The inmates of stables and sheds need
light and ventilation fully as much as
the denizens of our handsomest houses.
And yet thousands of horses, upon whose
work men and families depend fur their
livelihood, are stabled in close, dark,
filthy inclosnres, while cows, of whose
lives thousands of children are partakers
in the most literal sense, fare f.ir worse
in all that pertains to health. It is be
lieved by ruany careful observers that
animals are as sensitive as ruau even to
malarious influences. Certain it is that
in malarious regions the horses and
cattle are always thin, bony and spirit

allow it tc stand up and help itself to
food, and carry with it the evidence of
health and natural development in all
its parts. Tigs which run in a range or
pasture have good appetites the fresh
air and exercise give them this hence
they will eat a great variety of food and
much coarser than when confined in pen..
Nothing need go to waste on the farm
for lack of a market. They will consume
all the refuse fruit, roots, pumpkins, and
all kinds of vegetables, which will make
them grow. By extending the root
patch, and planting the fodder corn
thinner, so that nubbins will form on it,
and by putting in a sweet variety, the
number of pigs may bo increased in
proportion. A few bushels of corn at
the end of the season will finish off the
pig. The pig pasture will be ready the
next year for any crop, and ten times
the advantage accrue to the farm than
if the pigs are confined in close pens,
