Ou Cattle Feeding.
As this is the season when feeding cattle for j
winter beef is a prime object with all farmers, tQQ
md also when he slioiild prepare to lay out a tur
?ystcni for winter feeding, we presume that a few SQr
remarks 011 this subject will be as words in right (
season. chc
In a great many cases cattle feeding is badly mj(
managed 011 account of irregularity. Although
this is so common, and the consequences so palpablc,
yet it is a point very apt to lie overlooked. (
If we were to ask six people how they use a cer-1 scn
tain kind of food for their stock, we should pro- j't
bably get as many different answers. Some may
use hay and turnips, giving plenty of the former, ^a|
and sometimes of the latter, just as they find it j1Q|
convenient to provide them. The hay is given (
in large quantities at one time, with the injunction
to let thcin have no more till they have nc>
finished what they have got. But the best method
in this is on the principle of little and of- *
ten. One day they get turnips in such large 1
quantities as to produce the symptoms and no
doubt some of the effects of scouring, and at
another time they have so few that they are bound j
up in the bowels. And after trying this up-and yj8
down way of it for a time, it is found out that wj
the beasts hardly pay the expense of carrying the
roots for them, and the whole plan is condemned
as unprofitable. Perhaps some artificial food is
used, instead of giving it regularly as to timj
and quantity, they get it just as it suits the parties
in charge ; and as the beasts eat it readily,
and anxious to get it, having 110 stated time for
that, they are always on the look-out whenever
they sco the feeder, and arc deprived of that rest
which they ought to cnjov.
A good plan for feeding is to give the cattle an
hay when they are cleaning out in the morning,
then give each about a bushel of turnips, and
litter them deep, and after breakfast give each PCl
about another bushel of turnips, or half turnips an
and potatoes out up, and leave them till noon ;
this is for stall feeding. The cattle want to lie
soft, and enjoy rest in order to grow fat. About .
one o'clock, they should get another feed of tur- 10
nips, and a few potatoes, about a quarter of a eh'
bushel of each, and at 2 o'clock a feed of good lov
hay. At 5 o'clock, P. M. they should get some i
1?1 ... _ i, . '
.y, and be cleaned out again, after which they
ould be well littered for the night, get some
ish hay in their racks, and a composition food
boiled pumpkins, potatoes and indian meal,
ghtly salted ; after which, let them rest for
e night. Turnips should never be given in a
izen state, yet some farmers never think about
is ; the cattle should be kept in moderately
um, dry, and well ventilated stables.
For winter feeding, cattle should get their food,
regular tis the feeders.?Dry hay is a sorry
)rsel, day in and day out, and especially heated
y, that miserable stuff, deprived of half its ori
lal nutritive qualities by heating iu the mow.
lis kind of hay is too plenty. Potatoes and
mips, or cabbages and bruised indian corn
juld be given to all cattle young and old, at
ist once per day during the winter season,
cry farmer should have a large iron boiler iu a
11-built shed, and food should be boiled in it
ce every day for milch cows ; chopped straw

Death of English Kings.
William the Conqueror died from enormous
, from driuk, and from the violcuce of his pasns.
William llufusdied the death of the poor stags
it he hunted.
Henry the First died of gluttony, having eatoo
mueh of a dash of lamnreva.
Stephen died in a few days, of what was
led iliac passion, of which we suppose tnay be
oval word for prussic acid or something like
Henry the Second died of a broken heart, oo>ioned
by the bad conduct of his children. A
ken heart, is a very odd complaint for a monh
to die of. Perhaps "rat's bane in his porre"
meant the same thing as a broken heart,
iichard Cocur de Loin died like the animal
n which his heart was named, by an arrow
n an archer.
lolin died nobody knows how, but it is said
:hagrin, which we suppose, is another term for
lose of hellebore.
Ienry the Third is said to have died a "natudeath,"
by which, with kings in palaces means
unnatural death by which a mortal can shuffle
his "mortal coil."
idw.ird the First is likewise said to have died
i "natural sickness," a sickness which it would
7.1c all the college of physicians to denominidward
the Second was most barbarously, inently
murdered, by ruffians, employed by his
11 mother and her paramour.
iclward the Kurd died ot dotage, and ittcnard
Second of starvation, the very reverse of
jrge the fourth.
lonry the Fourth is said to have died "of fits
sed by uneasiness," and uneasiness in palaces
:hose times was a very common complaint,
tlenry the Fifth is said to have died "of a
nful affliction, prematurely." This is acourt hrase
for getting rid of a king,
tienry the Sixth died in prison by means known
n only to his jailor, and known now only by
i vet).
Sdward the Fifth was strangled in the tower
his uncle Richard the Third, whom Hume deres
to have possessed every quality for governnt.
Richard the Third was killed in battle, fairly,
bourse, for all kings were either killed or died
urally according to the court circulars of those
f'S.
Llenry the Seventh wasted away as a miser
jhttodoand Henry the Eighth died of carbun
5, fat and fury, whilst Edward the Sixth died,
a decline.
Queen Mary is said to have died of "a broken
irt," whereas she died of a surfeit, from eating
much of black pudding, her sanguinary nae
being prone to hog's blood or blood of any
t.
Did Queen Bess is said to have died of melan>ly
from having sacrificed Essex to his cue's.
lames the First died of drinking, and of the
cts of a nameless vice.
Dharlcs the Frst died a righteous death on the
fluid, and Charles the Second died suddenly
s said of apoplexy.
William the Third died from a consumptive
jit of body, and from the stumbling of his
se.
Queen Anne died from her attachment to
roug water," or in othor words, from drunken>s
which the physicians politely called the dropGcorge
the First died of drunkenness, which
physicians as politely called an apoplectic,
George the Second died by a rupture on the
art, which the periodicals of the day termed a
itation of God. It is the only instance in
lieh God ever touched his heart,
George the Third died as he lived?a madman,
roughout life he wjis at least a consistent mon
ill,
George the Fourth died of gluttony aud drunkness.
William the Fourth died amidst tho sympaes
of his subjects.
"Mother," said a fellow the other day, "is there
y harm in breaking egg-slislls ?" Certainly not
r dear; but why do you ask \ "'Cause I dropJ
the basket just now; and see what a mess I
1 in with yolk !"
A few years since, at the celebration of our nanal
anniversary, a poor tinker, who was presL,
being called upon for a toast, offered the fol"
ring: " Here is health to poverty; it sticks to
man when all his friends desert him."
Lazy Boys.
A lazy boy makes a lazy .man, just as sure as
a crooked twig makes a crooked tree. Who
ever yet saw a boy grow up in idleness that did
not make a shiltless vagabond when he became
a man, unless he had a fortune left him to keep ?
up appearances? The great mass of thieves,
paupers and criminals that till our penitentiaries
and almshouses, have come to what they are by
being brought up in idleuess. Those who constitute
the business portion of the community, ?
those who make our great and useful men, were
trained up in their boyhood to be industrious.
When a boy is old enough to begin to play in
the street, then he is old enough to be uiught
how to work. Of course we would not deprive
children of healthful, playful exercise, or the
time they should spend in study, but teach tbem
to work, little by little, as the child is taught to
learn at school. In this way he will acquire
habits of industry that will not forsake him when
he grows up.
Many parents who are poor let their children
grow up to fourteen or sixteen years of age, or
till they cannot support them no longer, before
they put them to labor. Such children, not
having any idea what work is, and having ac
quired habits of idleness, go forth to impose upou
their employers with laziness. There is a repulsiveness
in all labor set before, them, and to
get it done, no matter how, is their only aim.
They are ambitious at i>lay but dull at work.?
The consequence ;s, they do not stick to one
thing but a short time; they rove about the
world, get ir.to mischief, and finally find their
huj tv nig |/i iwu V7i aiiuouvuov*
With the habit of idleness vice may generally,
if not invariably be found. Where the mind
and hands are not occupied in some useful employment,
an evil genius finds them enough to
do. They are found in the street till late in the
evening, Jearning the vulgar and profaue habits
of those older in vice; they may be seen hang- i
ing around groceries, bar-rooms and stores, where
crowds gather; but they are seldom found en- 1
gaged in study.
A lazy boy is not only a bad boy but a disgrace
to his parent%for it is through their neglect
that he became thus. No parents, however
poor, in these times of cheap books and newspapers,
need let their children grow up in idleness.
If they cannot be kept at manual labor, let their
minds be kept at woik; make them industrious
scholars and they will be industrious at any business
they may undertake in after life.
We know of many boys?young men?old
enough to do business for themselves, who cannot
read, much less write their own names.?
They, too, are lazy, for iguorance and laziness
are twin brothers. We always feel sorry for
such men?their habits are for life, the twig bent
in childhood has grown to a distorted tree, and
there is no remedy for it. They must pass
through life as they have lived?in laziness and
ignorance. Think of it, young reader, and take
heed that your habits and character be not formed
like theirs.?Palmer Journal.
Kossctii and the Revolutionary League.?
A letter from Kossuth, addressed to the Congress
of the American Revolutionary Fund for
Europe, appears in the New-York newspapers,
in which he gives encouraging accounts of the
progress of the liberal cause in Europe. He
says the Hungarians are prepared to rise en masse
on the first summons; in Germany the idea of
a Republic is daily gaining ground, and the necessity
for united action is now clearly established.
He urges the necessity of increasing the
means of carrying on the revolution when it is
once begun. The moment the fight commences,"
he says, "the Hungarian scrip which is in circulation
will receive a market value, so that it will
be possible for those who may find it convenient
to await the issue of the war to realise the value
of their stock." Three German patriots, he conceives,
should be chosen to manage the fund.
The general agency of the Hungarian loan was
entrusted by Kossuth, before he left this country,
to the German Committee in Philadelphia.
The instructions he left shows, ho says, that it
was not his intention to apply the avails of that
loan exclusively to his own country; but he is
disp. wed to place a portion of it to the emancipation
of Germany.
John Bukyan's Grave.?A recent traveller
gives the following description of a visit to the
grave of the author of the Pilgrim's Progress:
I have just returned from a visit to "Buuhill
fields," and " City Road Chapel."?These are interesting
places to those who cherish'the memories
of departed worthies. In visitine: the for
mer, the Christian stranger seeks especially the
" raves of Bunvan and Watts. One might search
long for that of 13 tiny an, and tlieu pass without
knowing it. It is decayed, tabular monument,
whoso stones, darkened by 'L'imo, ar0 just now
contrasted in anp^ranco with long fresh grass,
that covers a large part of its base. "* Tho carvings
upon it are rude, and many of the chisselle-^
corners seem to have been robbed by those "^jI0 ?
desire to carry away some mementr,of th'ejr visit
to the grave of the "pilgrim" wb>0 at the end of
his ' progress" in this world, w?us buried here.
The time-slackened, and time-oaten pile is intended
to perpetuate tho memory 0f three beside
Bunyan, but who two of theiji be, we cannot
tell. The remnants of one inscription inform
us that " Here lyeth the remainsof whom ?

evidently recently carved, we tiud the siri>
