Trona the North Weetsra FerwerJ t OLD LANDS. ;, l We often hear the. question asked, "What can I do with my worn-out Iandar! There are tttny farmer living on farcae that will hardly sprout black eye peas (eil now iet us stop for a moment and look at that sentence. "Really iteeems to us that theaeoteace contains two or three misaouiera. There are many farmers (?) living (?) oa farms (?) that wilt hardly sprout, &c. . Farmers who are worthy of that noble and really dignified title never occupy such a place. It is only the miserably laav and shiftless soul, 'be igoor ant and careless mortal, cnat will consent to stop for a season on each groand. r: , tK'-i who stop tsare ion't I've wa fS ee VVUyi r I I U J V B IS W 4ltJmv w." of fann,', it is no'thine but a sterile, bar ren waste, where sedge grass and dowberry vine, sinkfield and yorrow grow.) Bnt if any one has through miamangejaent, sickness, or idleness, let bis lands so rnn down, and now repenta bim of the error of bis ways, and would reform bis lahits, and asks the question above given for information, we will gladly give all the advice we can on the matter. . The best plan in such esse i. first, to plow the groand ap aboat three to four inches deeper than it bat ever been plow ed before: theo give it a complete har rowing so ss thoroughly to pulverize the groand. By thus plowing deep you will bring to the surface portions of the earth that Lave been entirely exhausted. Then, if you have no manure for surface dressing, sow it down in clover, and if it be in latitude where clover will flourish at all, you will be likely to succeed in getting the ground "set in clover. If a light coat of manure, only, put it on, for this will increase the probability of the clover ''taking;" and if yon can get a tolerably good erop started, your euccesa ia almost certain. In the early spring sow about two bushels of plaster to the acre, or what is. better, if yon can procure it at a reasonable cost, pat bone dust on, or guano in a moderate degree. Then, when tLe clover is about at its hightin maturity, take a good plow and two or three good horses and turn it under, at the tune of about six to ten ioches. Or it may be "pastured a very little sfter the grain ripens in the bead and theo turned under aa 'above. Treat your ground thus about two or three years, and we warrant a splendid crop of eoro the third or fourth year. . . AN OBJECTION. But I hear an objection to 'our plan: "It is going to cost too ranch." Well, friend, iet us say in all kiodoess. and we hope you will not think us hard-hearted, ; cruel or unkind but it ia this, it is cost, "or total abandonment. What do you propore to do? To live on it )ou can't. You U)Ut actually starve or abandon your lafidsi, and seek a plce less exhausted, or you must resuscitate your own lands. Now, u treat land as you have treated jours, and then, in it exhausted and worn-out condition, to go off and leave it to grow up in sprawling briars, aedge grass, and sour, poison weeds, to be only the ."pasture of kill-deer." and whip-poor-wills, is absolutely a sin and burning shame. It is like working a good horse or servant till you can get no more service out of him, and then, if it is a horse, turn him oat to die, or if it be a .servant (as uodcr the old regime) give bias his liberty. -What a aha met ,. Vell, now, let us look at this question 4til further and make a few figures and ' look at a few tacts for facts are stubborn things and figures wou't lie." it is aid. t FACTS. -You went on your present plaoe about - ten or fifteen yeara ago. The land was ;then comparatively ''freth," tod would .produce what you aud your neighbors were wont to call a pretty fair crop ssy thirty to forty bushels of corn, or eljtbt to twelve bushels of wheat to the acre. Well, you commenced to cultivate (?) io your way the thin soil, seeding down the same field year after year in wheat or tome oth. r grain, taking off all that was produced and returning nothing, not even a pound '. of manure though about the barn It lay half a leg deep, and when it raioed you could scarcely wade through it. Proba- , bly corned your land year after year, and to add to the sggrsvating circumstances .you sowed buckwhest in the corn, as if t you were determined to kill your ground outright by imposing a burden too intolerable to be borne. Then when your .field "Crlsa eat oppressed. Impatient te be fret," ? as the Itst end unkindest cut of all you plsnted your exhausted ground in tobao co, or sowed it down iu buckwheat. Kith er of these crops will prove to be the , "straw that breaks the camel's back." Then, too, you remember how jou used ( to plow: A little thovel plow about as ' wide as your two bands, to which you hitched one horse, and he not the largest, ' fattett or ittongest, and with this kind of a rig you would simply skim over the surface, not disturbing the soil to the depth ,cf over two to three inches, and on this miserable plowing you sow your wheat and 'brush it iu" with a crab spple top, or the limbs of some brushy tree. Then you sat down and expeeted a crop. (May be you did and tu ay bt you didn't.) ' Blessed are that they thst expect nothing for they shall not be diseppuioted. That ( kind of farming (7) ii enough to ruin any lead, and if followed long enough ft ' would come near exhausting the soil on a . Mississippi bottom, where it is said to be filteen leet deep. It will not cost a great ' aura to trest a few sores at we have de , scribed. If you are not able to purchase , plows and tio.s suitable for the work join : with your neighbor, "double teams," as it It call J, and by a concentration of forces you may toon do a good thing for your exhausted lands. Then neat spring do the tame for a few aoret more, and so on as you hue time and tna?t, and it will

Wt remember well to hsve seen, some farms in Old Virginia first butchered aa described in this article, then treated with good plowing, clover, plaster, etcM as above indicated, and it was but a few years until, on those worn out fields that were grown up in briers and weeds and straggled hedge-grass, clover grew as high as a man' a waist, and fat cattle, horses and hogs in abundance on the little farm. riacBES." ' Let us now make a few figures, for the more thoroughly we investigate this question the better it will be for many of our r-rrs eft r-3 r?-tb cf us. if we can , ,-. , , , t3 tt Ibese'faeis . .w.u t cU'iüi tcr-ceperfect: f ljua?elh in the matter. In one sense of the word we would like to Bee everybody, so to soeak, out here in the West helping os to build up a mighty Empire aa to extent and wealth, but we are sure that there is a better plan for Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, North and South Carolina, etc., than to have their inhabitants desert the old homestead and brave the hardships incident to making a new home in tbe west. To be sure, there is a great quantity of land in the far West to be had at government prices, but these lands are in a state of nsture no house, no barn, no fence, no nothing, except the land. Where you have at leaat some kind of a house, barn, stable and fencing. To get to tbe West will cost ou, say, for equipage and tbe journey, not less than from $300 to $500, and 10 put up m me neat auer juu gn there such tenements as you bave where you now live; ssy from $350 to $550, and to purchase the provisions for man and beast to meet the demsnda of one year, til) you can raise a crop for yourself, at least $300 more. To pay for a quarter of a eectioo of Und at Government rates, $200, and if it ia prairie land you must purchase from ten to thirty acres of wood land, at say, from $10 to $30 per acre. So here is quite a little sum. Let us see how much money you must have in cash to fix yourself iu the West ss well ss you now are except thst in the West you may get a better quality of land: Eqsipags $300 00 Traveling sxpDes, lay. . .. 50 CO Extensa lor buUdiaf.

And then you will save the dear old associations the nice old pear tree that stands in the yard, and the delicious apples thst now fall from the old 'spread-top" above tbe barn, and the giaod old gum tree that haa shaded the spring for a halt century; and then, a little way down the lane are father's and mother's graves, beiie which you have often sat at eventide in sweet, solcmu, meditative silence.

"Cornelius O'Dowd," intnjewwn'omber of Blackwood, discusses the question of marriage in a pleasant way. We call a few passages: "Is life really life, if one most past it on tbe tight rope? It existence worth having when it is eternally a question of balancing swaying to this side, and bending to that? "Is it proven that all people have a vocstion for marriage, and is conjugalism per it certain to require. those who . attain it, must divide between two what they bad already found bsrely sufficient for one? These are simple questions which we have tfo need of a philosopher either to ask or to answer for us. .If one were simply to pronounce it from what appears on the surface of life and it is bard to go deeper we should say that the sin tie people, especially the men, have the beet of it. They are tbe more io request among their friends available for more attentions, and keep longer young than do their married brethren. "The double barreled egotism of marriage spoils many a good fellow, and destroys tbe charm of many a delightful woman. The firm, that terrible partoen-bip, crops up at every moment, and routs tbat glorious spontaneity, that delicious irre spousibility, we once remembered. "I bsve no patience with those people who want to marry on what it is a putz?e to them to live single upon. They must be morsl, forsooth! at the cost of reducing some unhappy girl to drudgery on the false preten6 for it is false of loving her. "Why can't they let it alone?" as the great master of common sense said of a lets eventful contingency. "I have met more pleasant end companionable people among tbe single than the married; but there is a canting notion abroad tbat marriage is a sort of backbone for good behavior and so the curate, must be married, aud the doctor ought to be married, 1 don't know how far the theory goes, or whether a lady a shoemaker should bave a wife, but I am sure that her cotjjtur ought. "1 hope we shall soon hear the last, of this tiresome controversy, for, if any man wishes positively to ascertain, from bis personal expetieoce, whether it be safe to marry io JCIOO peraonum. let bim commit a small misdemesuor in Ireland, and be sent to jail for three months, if bis consiituiiou stands the dietary the seven ounces of gruel and pioch of barley per diem he may have his bsnds published the day he comes out, and certainly there will be nothing in hit absorbent system to interfere with his happiness. "Hut it is a mistake to suppose that marriage is a necessity except to a three volumo novel. I am certain that a very large number of people are not made for that species of companionship. Mind, I am not enamored of Mormonism, spiritual wnery, nor nave i me augment tympattiy with Agapemones. Whst I desire to insist on ia, tbat our present day civilisation inculcates conjugalism too iudiscrimately, and takes most unjustifiable means to support its position. One of these, and the least commendable of all, is to disparage those who are called old maids. I have teen many a timid rider in a hunting field joered into riding at a fence that cost bim a 'cropper;' and 1 am convinced tbat many women are driven into marriage to escape the obloquy and aarcasm of belonging to that maligned category. 'It is no exaggeration to say 'maligned.' I would ask any oue who has seen much of life who baa, ao to say, been a man of tbe world, watching its wtyt, aud studyings its doings I would ask ot him, has he ever met in any section of humanity greater kindness, gentleness and paticoco than among lbeo same old maids? Where hss be found more hearty, genial, generous natures? where sounder views of life disfigured by fewer prejudices? where more charity in discussing the motives? where, in one word, less of those very attributes by which it has pleased the world to chsractcriio this class? "Itis no part of my wotk to call witnesses to what I ssy; but one I will cite, because she so eminently represented all I hsve so feebly attempted to picture; sod if her genius might tvetu to outshine tbe luiter of her personal qualities, it is only to those who had not the happiness and it wtt hsppiness of her intimacy. Iam talking of Miss tidgoworib, and it it well worth all the weight of the years it obliges to have met and known her. "I will not sflinu that marriage could have spoiled such a nature, but I will say it could not have bettered it. Nor is it a smsll part of the matter that at eighty she wss the guidiug spirit, the dolight and the charm of that family which derived Elory from her name and happluess from er presence. "Is it a clsat which Numbers Mitt KJge worth and Miss Nightingale among ita members, that women need shitue to be long? "I hsve done. I will only add, that to stead of heaping rldloule on the condition of unmariied women, and out of sheer de cislon, driving them to accept anjboJy anything aa huabandt, let ua acoord t h in all the deference and regard we bestow on others; and 1st us not forget, in the presence of soma 'old maid whose quthtici of tuiod aod biart bavt io charm

TBK POPE'a APOSTOLIC LETTER TO PROTESTANT AND NOJrHyMO BODIES The following iTtbe text of the Apostolic IeM?r addressed by the Pope to all Protests nt and non-Catholic bodies: Piut. Sovereign ' Poiuttf, Xinlh of the JVame to nil Protestants and other JVbn Catholics: ' You must alreasy know that we, who, despite our unwortliness, have been raised to ths throne of Peter, and therefore have been advanced to the supreme government of the wholt Catholic church, and to its administrates, which has been intrusted to. us io Divine fashion by Christ Himself, our Lord we bave judged it fitting to summon before us all our venerable brethren, the Bishops of all the world, and to convince them in an oecumenical council, which is to be celebrated next year io such a maoner that, with those same venerable brethren who have been summoned to take part io this subject of our solicitude, wt may be able to adopt all the most opportune and necessary resolutions to dissipate the shadows of so large a number of pestilential errors which daily are extending their power and license to the great prejudice of souls, and daily mure and more to establish aod strengthen among the Christian people committed to our watchful care the reign of the true faith, of justice, aod of tbe true peace of God. Belying, then, with firm confidence upon tbe close and affectionate bonds of union which unites those our game venerable brothers to our person and to the apostolic see, and who have never ceaeed at any period of our pontificate to give to us and to the apostolio see the most striking evidence of faith, of love, and of respect, we truly hope that, as it has been in times past with our general councils, so it msy be io the present, and that this oecumenical council convoked by us may bring forth, with tbe help of tbe Divine grace, the most rich and the most fertile fruits, to the grest glory of God and the eternal welfjflscxfuiao. Therefore, in tbat hope, and instigated and encouraged by the charity of our Lord Jesus Christ, who laid down his life for the salvation of the world, we can not forbear, on the occasion of the meeting of the next council, addressing our apostolic and paternal word to all those who, wbile recognizing that same Jesus Christ as our Savior, and rejoicing in the name of Christianity, yet still do not profess the veritable faith of ('brist, or follow tbe cummunion of the Catholio Church. And if we do so, it is, before all, to wsrn, exhort and supplicate them with all our zeal and all our charity to consider and seriously exsmine if they in truth follow the path prescribed by our Lord Jesus Christ, and which leads to eternal happiness. In fact, no one can deny or doubt that Jesus Christ Himself, in order thst all future human generations might enjoy the fruit of His redemption, built up here below His Church io the person of Peter tbat is to say, the Church, one, holy, Catholio and apostolio and that lie hat grtntod to him all tbe necessary power iu order tbat the faith should be preserved intact and entire, aud tbat the tamo faith should be traoamitted to all people, to all races and to all nations, io such a manner that all men ahonld be able to be united in Hit mystical body in baptism, and always to preserve io themselves, 'intil the entire development, that new life of grsce, without which no one can ever merit or obtain life eternal. s that the tame Church that constitutes the mystical body shall remain, until i ne ena oi time, nrm ana ir.ae-aruc tible in ita own constitutions, developed in vigor, and furnishing to its children all tbat is necessary to life eternal. Now, whoever wishes well to consider and examine with attention the different religious societies, 'divided among themselves, and separated from the Catholio Church, which, since the time of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Apostles, hss alwsys uninterruptedly exercised, and still exercises, by meana of its legitimate pastors, the power entrusted to her by our Lord llismelf whoever, wa ssy, shall thus exsmine, will easily convince himself that not one of those religioua tocieties, nor all the religious societies together, constitutes, or io any wsy csn be considered ss, the oue aod only Catholio Church which our Lord Jesus Christ founded, constituted and desired should see that they csn not in any wsy be regarded as a member, or as a part, of that same church, because Ihey are vbibly separated from all Catholio unity. As, in fact, those sooietles sre deprived of that living authority established by (iod, who pointed out to mankind, before all things, the matter of faith aud the rule of morality, who directed and prosided over them in all things affecting their eterusl welfare, therefore those tori ties themselves constantly varied in their dootrlne, aod thus this instability In unosaaing. Every one ctn easily comprehend that thia state of things is altogether opposed to the Church established by Christ our Lord a Church In which the truth must always- rest unsltered, without being the suhjeot of any ehsngo as a charge intrust ed to that same Chureh ia order that she msy preserve it In all its integrity, a cherge for the care of which the presence of the Holy Ghost and Its aid has been granted forever to this Church, No one rsn ignore the fact that these differences of dyotrloo and oploiun give

rise to the tocial schisms, and that therefrom spring those innumerable sects and communions which are daily increasing to the detriment of Christian and eiril society. .: Whoever, in fact, recognizes religion aa the foundation of human society, cannot refuse 'o admit and avow the influence ex ercised over civilized society by those di

visions and disagreement of principlea of j that nature,' aod of religioua societies j struggling oue wjiu tue umer, auu bipu with what power the denial of authority established by God to regulate the convictions of .the human intelligence; and to direct' tbe actions of men, both in their social and private life, haa excited, has developed, aod has fomented those moat unfortunate- troubles, those events, and those disturbances which agitate aud affect almost all nations in a. most deplorable msoner.Therefore, io order that all those who are not instilled with the principles of the unity and truth of the Catholic Church should seize the occasion offered to them by this council, in ., which the Catholio Church; to which their ancestors belooged, shows a proof of its complete unity, of its vigor, and of ita unextioguishsble vitality; that tbey should obey the necessities of their hearts; that they should strive to bear themselves sway from that state in which they can not be assured of their salvation; that tbey should address without ceasing the most fervent prayers to God tbat He should dissipste the cloud of error, and tbat He should bring them back into the bosom of the Church, 'our holy mother, where their ancestors received tbe salntsry nourishment of life, and alone preserves in its integrity the doctrine of Jesus Christ, handing it down and dispensing tbe mysteries of celestial grace. We therefor?, who ought most zealously to fulfill all the duties of a good pastor, in accordance with the eharge of ourapostolio ministry, intrusted to us by Christ our Lord Himself, and who ought to embrace all men in tbe world in our paternal charity, we address this letter to all Christians separated from os, a letter in which we exhort - and supplicate them to basten to return to tbe fold of Christ.' - It is because we heartily desire their salvation in Jesus Christ, aud fear one day to bave to render ao acconnt of their soul to thst same Jesus Christ, our Judge, if we do not point out to them and open to them as much as in us the way which they must follow if they would gain their salvation. Also, in all our prayers and supplications, while performing acts of grace, we never cease humbly to ask for them both by night and day the-celestial light and the abundance of grace from the eternal Pastor of souls. Aod, whereas, despile our un worthiness, we fulfill upon earth the fuoctions of tbe vicar of Christ, we swsit with open arms the return of those wandering sons of the Catholio Church, in order that we may be able to receive them with all affection into tbe dwelling of tbe celestial Father, and make them participators in his everlasting treasures. It is that much wished for return to the truth aud communion of tbo Catholic Church upon which depends not only the salvation of esch one in particular, but of the whole Christian society; and the world will never enjoy true peace uutil it forms one flock under one pastor.

Fruit growers who are so unfortunate as to have winter apples, can . prolong tbeir keeping by packing in saw dust, other than pine, if possible. Put it in some dry place for several weeks before using, spread out thin so as to be perfect ly dry. Keep your apples on the trees as late as possible not to be touched with frost. Pick in tbe middle of a pleaitnt day, when perfectly dry. , Handle with care, and leave all the stems oo. Pack no brused, wormy or defeotive fruit. Pack in barrels. Take theiu and the sawdust to the place of packing. Sprinkle an inch of the latter on the bottom of the barrel. Place the apples in layers very carefully oo the aaw dust a row next to the staves, and the row next to those, and so on till you finish in the center with a single apple, Cover this layer with tawdut, and so continue until the barrel is full, with a layer of fruit and a layer of sawdust leaving ao inch or more of tbe latter on tbe top. Put the head in with a alight pressure, gently shaking the barrel and keeping its contents perfectly tight. Kemove to some out-building and keep there till hard freezing weather cornea on, when the barrels should be stored in a dry collar, placed on blocks or plank so as not to touch the ground. In this way the latest keepers will be perfectly sound the fouith of next July, and they will be perfectly fresh, in perfect order, and flavor unimpaired. Pecking in sawdust baa many advsntuges over sand. Firt, it is so much tighter, and adds nothing to the expenses of freight. Seoond, ths sawdust sbsotbs sll the moisture and twust from the apple. Third, if by chance an apple rots, it cannot contaminate its neighbors by coming in contact with them, if the barrela are made as tight aa they should be, the fruit will be kept from the air, and eome out as good as if canned. The above is no theory or guess work, but bat been tested for teversl years, 1 have packed many a barrel which kept perfectly good aa late ss above stated. People t-fton wonder at the most natural things In the world. "I ssy, Iigy," said Quilp to an acquaintance, "you look sober this morning. "And for a very obvious ressou," said Dighy;'! era toher."

His people do not want to be absorbed in Spain; and he has -no desire to place himsolf in the hsnds of strangers, for the sake of a more splendid title., But the cuble to-day suggesta that a new candidate from his family is now proposed in Europe, the late titular King Ferdinand, the father of the -present ' King Luis of Portugal.'; ? ' ' ... UThis Ferdinand It of the fsmily , of Saxe-Coburg Gotha; a cousin of the reigning Duke Ernst II, of thst family, and of the late Prince Cooaort Albert of England. It is doubtless true thst he would be more acceptable to both England aud Prusiis than any Bourbon; but the assertion by the csble that "be would be unobjectionable to the Emperor Napoleon," is very doubtful. Moreover, a monarchy heredi tary in his line would inevitably, upon the next demise of the crown, unite Portugal with Spain, since tbe loyal house of Portugal sre the children and heirs of Ferdinand. - There is need of no lightning from the sea to tell us that Prince Alfred, of England, is ont of the question... The people of Great Britain will never permit a possible heir to the throne of Victoria to accept a foreign crown, or Alfred might have been king long ago,, either in Crete or Mexico. .; ' ' - .v . But their remsioa one clsimsnt of whom little has been said, perhaps for the same reasona that Louis Napoleon' waa little talked of at the time of the revolution of 1843. The lesdsrs In Franco dreaded him, and kept silence. TLe writera out of France little knew bis strength. Yet the tidings on September, 30th, just as Queen' Isabella crossed the French frontier on her flight to Pan, the Count de .Montemolio crossed It by the same milway oo his return tu Msdrid, baa made a sensstion throughout Earope. ' , Ferdiosnd VII. the lasr King of Spain, died on the" 2'Jih cf September, 183:i. By the Sslio law, which had alwsys been be law, of succession io Spain, no woman, and therefore neither of Lis . daughters, could wear the crown. It would go to his brother Carlos" or Char lea. But in 1830 Ferdinand had assumed the power to abrogate thia law, and by thia "pragmatio sanction" of March decreed that henceforth females should be preferred in tbe succession to mules more remote iu blood. Isabella II. waa born In October following; and, sustained by the constitutional sad liberal parties, the Queen-mother Christins, her guardian, succeeded io establishing her throne, after a long civil war with the "Carliats." A conaidersble .party still cling to Charles especially the priests and tbe extreme believeta in divine riht. It waa not until March, 181&, thst Queen lisbells was acknowledged by the Pope. In reurn, she immrdia'ely threw heraulf into the hands of the priests. 'Three months Ister "Don Carlos,' then an exile in Trieste, abandoned bis hnpeies claim to tbo throne; but by a solemn act of abdication in favor of his eon, of the same name, bequeathed the strife to him, and died in Trieste in ISM. This second head of the CarllnU was born in 1818, assumed, on his fsther's ab dioHtion, the title of Winoe of the Austrlsa. whlvh answers in Spain to the title of Prince of Walea io Great Briialu, and In 18CO married a lady of the royal family of Naples. Both he and bis princes died suddenly of artet fever in Trieate, on the same day. January 13, lhtll, Ilia brother Fernando had died of the same disease a fw days before.'

N Y, Poet. , . . ,, Farmera Eat too much Pork. A correspondent of the Kara! New; Yorker writing over the signature of s "Farmer's Wife." hold fori h as ' follow a on the above subject: '' Eds Bobal: The Jews were forbid den the use of swine'a . fiesh. . I , have thought sometimes it was a useless ia junctien, for the very sight of the animal is enough to dtspust tbe most inveterate meat eater. Our best physicians and physiologists, to, agree that itriebiaV, scrofula, erysipelas, putrid aore throat, and a ibt usaod other ills that flesh it heir to, are engendered hj tbe use of pork. There is no resbon why farmer who ooght to live on. the best the land produces, should eat so much salt pork the moat expensive of all meats. v TbsV same atuoupt of food giveu to youug calves or sheep, would, to my estimation, yield a greater amount of food than if led to sviue. . If a few farmers in each neighborhood, during the summer month would club together and fatten and kill in rotation small animal?, making an ejual distribution of 'th meat, we farmer's! would not be obliged to resort ao often to the pork barrel. . Thote Would be dif acuity in keeping meat any- length' of time during ihe hottest jweathar.if.- put down according to the following directions 1 speak t hat I do know, and testify'what I have seen: : : i-.--v ' "Cut the meat in slices ready for fry tug. ; Pat-k iu a jar, in layers, seasoning .-s'h layer with just salt and pepper enough to make it paiauble. ' PUce a piece of writing paper over the lop; cover 'with about one half inch thickness of -bait. Cover the jar closely, and whenever, any is wanted it ia ready. My neighbors and I hare kept veal io thia way for several weeks. Try it and ice." We second tbe motion of "A Farmer' Wife," in regard to eating pork. If jeo pie most eat flesh, there are other kindi in abundance tbat ia, better, adapted to tbe'wantsof humsn beings thsn the greatest scavenger upon earth the hog. For a number of years wa have discarded the grüntet from our table ia toto.

The fksb ia which they were imbeded looked perfectly aound and natural, and we are convinced thai they had grown vp with the hog, aud were a part of the hng. Th result is, we have been cured the see ond lime, and effectually cured, too, of pork tsting. Under no vircomstsneca whatever, shall the filthy thing appear upon our tablo in tbe future. N.
