John, being thus commissioned, Imme diately proceeded to tho. city ipid to tho residence of Ids father’s old friend, whom lie found to bo a very nice old gentleman, with a beautiftd daughter, and gold speo- taeles. John was usliocrd into tile parlor (a new tiling to him,) and motioned to a scat—no! a soih, (another now thing.) Hut wc must use Ids o\vn language: “I took my scat and made observations. Ev erything was fine! Fine cnrpcls, line so fas, flue tables, fine curtains, fine books, fine pianos, fine everything, nml especially a fine young lady who was dressed inline silk, fine satin, and who had fine ourls, and a lino appearance generally. After chatting with the old gentleman a few minutes, lie took down Ids hat, told me to make myself at home for an hour or two, and left—-left mo alone with his daugh ter, and a mimll' mischievous boy, tho young lady’s brother.

Miss Eiiiily, thinking, no doubt that to he a good hostess, she must keep her guest engaged in conversation, askod me “how 1 liked country life,” etc. J?ho said that “it must bo a beautiful sight to see the la borers, both male and feniale, romping on the new mown hay on New Year’s day; that she always did think.that she would like to spend a Christmas in the country n nut-gathering with the village lads and lasses; that it always laid been a mystery to her how they got the eggs oil* the trees., without breaking them, etc.” - In return, I thought that to keep up my part of the conversation, it was necessary for me to quote poetry mid the like, which I did. Among other quotations, I unfor tunately repeated the well known lines of Shakespeare, ‘Tlic-rniflftillvlhlty that sbnpi-souri-inls, Rouab liow tlu-ni mi ire \\ 111.’ AI tliis juncture, tho liny; who hail licitluil-liiiuseir ujinn my knees, looked cry iiirnestlv inlo mv face mid said: “l)i- iiiiiy dialled lliu end of your noss Inlglfty ciirus,',’ I’m curtain thill I blushed a lit tle: I am very certain that 1 wished some body would' spank one of his—well; wo talked of hills, mountains, vales, cataracts —I relieve I said waterfalls, when the boy spoke up and said: “IVliy sister’s pot ii trunk full of them up stairs—pap says lliev are made out’en buss hair,.” 'fills revelation struck terror into me mul blushes into the cheeks of my fair com panion.

For the first wcok after being hatched .(and in winter for a'month longer time) tlio chick ens are fed on barley meal mixed with milk, stale bread soaked in water, and green food finely chopped. Very few instances can bo found whclo poultry are fed on tho whole grain, as it hj believed, thatwholo grain would be too expensive, produce few er eggs, too much fat, and cause more dis ease when fowls arc fed ad libitum so as tp completely fill their crops, . which rpndcrs digestion difficult. Tlio food is mostly composed of about one-lmlf buckwheat, barley or odtmeni; made into a sllfVpaste with which the fowls are fed twlco a'day nt sunrlso and sunset. This diet,is given indiscriminately to old and young/ In somo cases, wl\cre the fowls have not the run of meadows, they nro'provided with a certain aiRQUut of animal and green food. The waste of the butcher shops is boiled, the fat skinied olf, and, when coagulated, thor oughly mixed with the mcalfbod. Cab bages aiid other vegetables are supplied in some cases, heiug either fed raw oi» boiled and mixed with the meal food.
