"^laoe tjhem in! a. largo.kettlo mixed with ashes, and] about ono peok of lime to the^barrel of odnes." Cover with water and boil. In twenty-four hours all the bones, with the exception, perhaps, of tho hard shih-'bbnes, will become eo much soft ened as to be easily pulverized by hand. They will not bo iri particles of bone, but in a pasty condition, and in excel - T. I lent > form -to mix with muck, loam or ashes. By boiling the shin-bones ten or twelve hours longer they will also .b'eqqra? softs. . . The Beat Hogs rar (lie South. i We hove recently received letters f.om many valued friends inquiring ??Hrhst is the best hog-for-the - south One of the good effeots of having raised an abundant crop of corn is the generally diffused'desire to raise our own meat, und as that good work must now bo commenced from the foundation, ' the inquiry as to the best and most pro fitable breed is natural. We unhesitatingly answer that the Berkshire, or a oross of the Berkshire nud Essex, is incomparably the best hog f>r our country and climate. We are intimately acquainted with persons in Tennessee, and other stated, who have 'r ? ?raiBe'd the Borkshires for several years, and have brought them to a perfection < Buch as we have never seen attained by any other breed. Give them a gooa range, and access to plenty of water, tfufd ^lfey will increase, multiply and replenish the earth. At fifteen months old, with ordinary oare and sufficient food, they will weigh from 850 to 400 pounds, and, owing to their small bone, there is less difference in weight between a Berkshire alivo and one slaughtered thou .any othor hogs we have over Uuown. Where orossed by the Essex t le hog has more size, and is, perhaps, more industrious in " rooting" for him self; but, in bur experience, tho niero lerksliiro is not deflciont in this lat fl jrpannnnar. Of all hogs, wo consider tho Chester tho worBt for tho country. If it is not ns carefully fed and groomed as a fice horse, it bocomos mangy, fails to put on flesh, nnd produoos nothing but bono and ears. A few years ago there was a (.ragelfor White. Ohestors. People sent ''io Ohester county, Pa., and paid as high as 850 to $00 for a pair of pigs, whiob, on arrival^'thoy wore found to be large-oared, big-boned, thriftless an minis, which needed as much attention as a lady's lap dog. In a fuvorable cli mate, with unremitting attention and hand-feeding, the Ohester will attain ftn immense size in throe :,yearB. Bat^ho oan afford to wait three yoars for ? ba con hog ? Who can afford to pay this attention to his hogs ? A good Berk shire sow will produce three largo lit ters in fifteen months, and, if in proper condition, will raiso ovory one of them.

Some paronts aro, so afraid that a child will grow proud that they never prai?s him, and this course is of tap disastrous. It. is apt to produce too much ' self Assertion?for self-assertion is a legitimate outgrowth of withholding commendation from one who is entitled to it, or it will endanger self-diBtrnst or melancholy hopelessness I of disposition.. ? Praise is sunshine to a child, and there is no child that does not need it. It is the high reward of ouo'a struggle to do right. Thomas Hughes sayb that you can nover get a man's best out of him without praise. Yon certainly can never get a child's best out of him without preiao. Many a sensitive child, wo believe, dies of hunger for lack of kind recommenda tion. Many a child' starving for the praise a parent should give runs off ea gerly after the1 designing flattery of others. To withhold praise where' it is dne is dishonest, and in the case of a child snoh a course often leaves a sting ing sense of injustice. Motives of com mon justice as well as a regard for the f ntnre of the child should influence the parent to give generous prniso to all who deserve ik*c Of course there is a difference in tho constitution of chil dren ; Borne cannot bear so muoh praise as others, and some need a great deal. It should never be indiscriminate. We remember a wonderfnl woman who taught a school in one village until she had educated a part of three genera tions. She was ouo of the most suc cessful of teachers, but her success lay in her gift of; praising With din crimina tion. A bad boy who was, a good scholar got praises for his brilliancy sandwiched between her abomination of his bad behavior, and so was won to a better life; and wo reeall a good girl who had no gift for learning rapidly, bnt whe was saved from utter despair by-the praise she got tor her -nnfeiring industry. Into the discouraged heart of tho ohildren the'prais? of the teacher oumo like sunlight; . and the virtues, like fruit, oan only ripen in sunshine. A Ghastly Pun. Some yeartP ago, when cannibalism was in vogue among the South Sea Is landers, an English man-of-war put into ono of thsFiji grpup. Among the party who went ashore was An assistant surgeon named Ben Jon son?a fat and per verse person, , *?ho was always quarreling with a young [midshipman named Man ners. There were two boats; and as the surgeon, who had wandered off from the party when they landed, had not rejoined them when they were ready to return to the ship, they~put off without him, but left one of the boats so that he might follow. The captain was annoyed and a little alarmed at their reappearance without JbnBon, and instantly dispatched a boat's crow, under Manne?, in search of the missing officer. They found his body in tho midst of a number of savages who' Were just preparing to devour him, but who fled at the sight of the sailors. Tho poor fellow was not half cooked. A grave was soon mndo for the underdone remains of the unfortunate Joncon, while Manners set up a board to murk.; jtbr spot,, upon whioh ho managed to out' a single sentenoo with his penknife un observed. The captain was shocked onj hearing of, the dreadful ooourrenoe, and'' determined to go ashore and tako n lost look at tho resting-place of the ill-star red officer ; but whon he got a glimpse of the epitaph or inscription on tho board he was constrained to turn away to hide his face from all present; for there, in largo lottora ond dooply out, stood tho sentence, " O rare Ben Jon son!" . . ?In tho reign of the late king of Hi am, the curronoy of the realm con sisted of lead and ztno coins.
