TAINTED.
She stood at the dimr of a stylish church,
And wistfully ioflfc<|t \t it JTui | ']* 1
She, the daughter ofVaMlind sfom,* *
rOie, the child of sin,
She heard the organ's peal on peal
■put unknown melody;
Art l said with a sigh that wrung her soul,
lie never died tor nu,”
U)< saw thV W si£hipi>t*s; and heard
The lastiflUMu^'D' 1
The rich to iieAv’n.
The wrtfuged VO—God knows where!
The cushioned pewe, the long drawn aisle,
, Were v ry fats to see ;
Until this v*rjr?Tou.,” she.said,
. t *• I've ttoujht lie died lor me.”
“0, thought, how loved of late, but vain !
0, hot, repentant tears!
1 ir arer stand to a church to-nig it
Than L have stood i'or years.
A church ! Is this God’s temple? say !
And tell me, can it bo
That lie Who 'stands in the pulpit rays
Christ never died lor me S
r: Tt WITSt he so !- 4 hear hnu read
J ho words of Christ, tlie mild ;
Are they the shine tint mother read
To me when but a child ? ,

13ut not, alas ! for me.*’
Flic turned away from the stylish church,
And nevermore looked within;
Away from the chancels agilt w.th gold,
Down to the haunts of sin.
Then from its doors ere the light had passed
And rn the light of the sun.
They found on the river the beautiful corpse
Of iJUv wronged,’ unprayed for one.
Time to Deaden Timber.
IV e are not going to advise a ny of our
friends to reach so high as the moon to
deaden trees or plant .cabbage, or
toes; but there is a difference in results
from deaden ng or girdling or ‘ hel
tin-at the different seasons of the
O
) car.
We believe that April and May,
when the sap is rising rapidly, is better
th.au that it is better not to
cut out the chip, iftbe work is honestly
per formed.
It is not often that time cm be spai"
cd in the Spring, but it labor can be
had it will pay to deaden in May.
In fact it will pay at any time in the
year, when there is a leisure day even on
land you never expect to plow. There
is a great deal of timber unfit for rails
or fence, which might well be out of the
way, so as to let in stock sunshine, and
bring up grass for the stock.. Kill all the
Useless timber, and you have a wood
pasture with but little additional ex
pause
We do not like the custom of gird
ling small trees, those les3 than eigli f
inches in diameter, three ot lour loot
above the gr und. It is supposed by
some that the tree is rot so liable to send
out sprouts, but it is not according to
our experience. We advise you to
"deaden,” outside the field, but al.vays
tree”—the pecan.— if C.
Fattening Poultry.—The Lon
don Times states that poultry properly
tel will acquire all the fatness needed
f.>r marketing purposes, in a fortnight
three wecksi’l most- iheir diet
should be Indian corn, oat barley meal
scalded in milk or water —the former is
the best as it will expedite the fattening
process. They should be fed early in
tyje morning, at noon and also in the
evenin'! just before <roing to roost. A
plentiful supply of fresh water plenty
~f gravel, sliced cabbage or turnip tops
If the fowls are require 1 to be very fat,
some trimmings of tte>h mutton suet
may be chopped up and scalded with
their other feed, or they may be boiled
in milk alone and poured over the meal
This renders the flesh firmer than it
otherwise would be. When fit to ki.l
feeding should be stopped Uelve hours
or more, that the intestines may become
comparatively empty.
E G. ASKS if a good colt can be
grown upon straw and oats alone. V> e
answer yes. r lhe oat is the most ap
pro! riate grain to feed a colt, and the
straw will give him diges'ion. \ou
should feed oats with straw and learn
the colt‘to cutboth togther. Many horses
seem to have on instinct leading them
, , cit the grain and straw or hay to
gether. We have seen a horse take
h little grain or meal and then
a little hay, mixing with the straw
and moistened, the colt will not eat ton
much, and will grow with great rapidity.
I) )n~t be afraid ol the cost ot feeding
c ilts, every dollars worth of extra
food given will increase the value of
\,e cult mare than two dollars. Lice
