THE SMACK IN SCHOOL. A district school, not far away, Near Richmond Hill, one winter’s day, Was humming with its wonted noise Of three-score mingled girls and boys ; Some few upon their task intent, But more on furtive mischief bent ; The while the master’s downward look Was fastened'an a copy-book-; When suddenly, behind his back, Rose sharp and clear a rousing smack ! As ’twere a battery of bliss Detoff in one tremendous kiss !- “ What’s that ?” the startled master crios ; ‘-That, thir,” a liltle imp replies, Wath William? Willis, if you pleatheâ€" I thaw him kith Thuthannah Peathe 1” With frown to make a statute thrill, The mastor thundered, “ Hither Will !” Like wretch-o’artaken in his track, With stolen chattels on his back, Will hung his head in fear and shame, And to the awful presence cameâ€" A groat, green, bashful simpleton. The butt of all good-natured funâ€" With smile suppressed, and liirch upraisod, The threatener falteredâ€"“ I’m amazed That you, my biggest pupil, should Bo guilty of an act so rude ! Before the whole set school to bootâ€" What evil genius put you to’t ?” •* ’Twas she, herself, sir,” sobbed thfe lad, “ I didn’t mean to be so badâ€" But when Sussannah shook her curls, And whispered I was ’fraid of girls. And darsn’t kiss a baby’s doll, I couldn’t stand it, sir, at all, But up and kissed her on the spot! 1 knowâ€"boo booâ€"1 ought ta<not, But somehow, from her looksâ€"boo booâ€" 1 thought she kind ’o wished me to !” CARE! OF THE HEALTH OF THE HOUSE, Hiutimra KtaMitgs. Why was the first day of Adam’s life the longest ever known ?

Ere the procession recovered ffPIA, its pstonisbment, the audacious smoker disappeared, A gentleman having engaged a brick- layer to make some repairs in his cellar, or- dered the ale to be removed belore the bricklayer commenced his work. ‘ Oh, I am not afraid of a barrel of ale, sir,’ said the man. ‘ 1 presume not,’ retorted the gentleman ; but I think a barrel of ale would run at your approach.’ A good story is told of the celebrated Dr. Adam Clark, which furnishes indis- putable evidence that the worthy divine itiad a very decided aversion to pork. JBeing called upon to say grace at a din- ner, the principal dish of which was roast pig, he said : ‘ O, Lord, if thou canst bless under the gospel what thou didst curse under the law, bless this pig.’ An Irishman went into Washington Market a short time since, and seeing a dead owl hanging up at one of the poul- try stands, inquired of the man in attend- ance : ‘ Boss, what do yez ask for the broad-faced turkey V ‘You clown,’say* the man, ‘ that is an owl ; it is not a turkey.’ ‘ I don’t care,’ says Pat, ‘ how ould it is ; I asked yez the price of the turkey.’ During the personal canvass of Mr. Garnett among the electors of Salford, England, he and his friends calling at a huckster’s shop found only a boy, who, having learnt their business, went to the foot of the stairs, and called: ‘Mother, here’s a mon as wants yo’r vote for him t’be a Parliament man.’ ‘ Well,’ shout- ed the mother, ‘ fell him thy feyther’s not in, but if lie’ll chalk his name on th’ counter, we’ll inquire into his * character !’ We refer now, not to any special management of the horse in particu- lar cases, but to the ordinary daily care which they require. Was this noble animal properly cared for every day, there would be little need of any special treatment. As it is, horses are continually ailing ; it is almost impossible to buy one that is perfectly sound. In the general management of the horse, it is very important to secure him plenty of fresh air, Neither man nor beast can enjoy health while inhaling corruption at every breath. And yet most stables are built without any regard to this im- portant matter. They are low con- tracted, close and hot, with scarcely anv means of ventilation. The urine and dung is allowed to lie on the floor mixed with litter, and ferment- ation setting in very soon, a pun- gent and unwholesome gas is emitted which prevades the whole stable. Who has not perceived tlvs on en- tering a stable especially in the morning 1 The heat and odor are sometimes so powerful as to almost stifle one’s breath. It is no wonder that the horses occupying these stalls, should suffer from inflamed eyes, chronic cough, diseased lungs and glanders. The only surprise is, that they can endure such barbarous treatment, as long as they do, with so great impunity. Every stable, then, should be well ventilated. The stalls should not be boarded up tight from floor to ceil- iug, but left open to four and a-half feet upwards. There should be some means for introduing fresh air in the neighborhood of the staMs. It should not be through a window blowing directly on the horse, but at some little distance from him. Then, there should be an opening in the roof through which the foul and heated air can escape. Between 1 his ventilator at the lop and aper- ture in the lower part of the build- ing, a constant circulation is kept up; but neither one will work efficiently without the other. It is generally considered inex- pedient to occupy the loft directly over the stalls with hay. The foul vapors rising night and day mix with the hay and make it unpalata- ble and unwholesome. Many insist thet even the ceiling above tha stalls should be plastered. The floor over- head should at least be battened tight to prevent the dropping of seeds and dust upon the hair and into the eves oj the horse. But if this is done, some means should be provided for the free escape from the stall of bad air and the introdu- tion of that which is fresh and wholesome. One important means of securing good air in stables is to keep them scrupulously clean. Some persons allow dung to accumulate for several days, and many clean it out only once a day. It is absurd to expect pure air where fermentation and putrefaction are going forward. All manure and wet litter should be swept out abou*( twice a-day, and means should be provided for the passing away of urine. The floor of the stall should have a slight in- clination, allowing the water to run off into a gutter ; or if any objection to this, they should frequently strew their stable floor with sawdust, tan bark or plasterâ€"Dr. Dadd ob- serves :â€"The bedding which ac- cording to long custom is stowed under the crib, there acting as a sort of noxious smelling bottle to the horse’s nostrils, should be spread out in the open air, and sorted ; the refuse and excrements removed to a dung heap located as far from the stable and as soon as possible ; for the common manure receptable, un- der the stable floor, is one of the worst features of stable economy. The stable floor should be washed clean as often as circumstances will permit.’’â€"Am Agriculturist. ammonia, you must use plaster or charcoal dust. It must be kept sweet, or you will loose much ol its value ; and where manure is valu able, if you neglect to use your swine for the purpose of increasing it you will loss about all the profit of making your own pork. There is another way of making your pig pen valuable. If you have a spot ot ground thut you want to enrich and work deep and thoroughly plant it with Jerusalem Artichokes, and then yard your hogs upon it, taking care lo give them room enough, so as not to necessiate them to make a quagmire. Again, you may use these animals to advantage if you have a piece of grass land ini'eeted with grubs. Fence off a piece, and shut your swine m upon it for a tew days without food, and il they leave a sod untufaed ora grub uneaten, il will be a wonder. Il is the best preparation of such a spot for hoed crop, or for sowing again in grass, that can be given. There is no good reason why the pig should be always kept in idleness or misnhief. Let him be trained to be useful in his life as well as at his death.â€" Manchester American. FACr 'S ABOUT ENGLISH FARMING. AN OLD FRIEND IN A NEW DRESS. Three merchants went riding cut into the West On the top of the ’bus, as the sun went down ; Each talked of his wife, and how rich shedrest, And tho growing circumference of her new gown ; For wives must dress, and husbands must pnv, And there’s plenty to get, and little to say, While the Miliner’s Bill is running. Three wives sat up in Jane Clarke’s for hours, And they told her to put every article down, They ordered the silks, and they ordered the liowers, And the bill is kept rolling up, gown upon gown ; For wives will dress, and husbands wtll pav, Though perhaps they will bo in a terrible way, While they’ro dunned for tho bill that is running. Three Bankrupts were figuring in the Gazette. On a Tuesday night when the sun wont down, And the women were weeping, and quite in a pet For the dresses they never will show in the town ; For wives will dress, though liusbends can’t pay. And Bankruptcy’s surely the pleasantest way To get rid of the hill, and the dunning. â€"Punch. THE PIG PEN AND VALUE. ITS As a manure maker, there is no animal equal to the hog. provided he is furnished with suitable facili- ties. The eating and sleeping apart- ments of Mr. Pig should always be a good frame building with a plank floor and shingle roof, and it will in many places be found economical to give him an iron eating trough. His house should be cleaned out evary day and wrashed as often as neces- sary to keep it clean. All the wash- ings and cleanings should go into an adjoining pen, which may as well be made of fence rails on account of the cheapness and convenience of removal, into which the tenants of tha hog-house must be invited by a little corn, scattered in every day, to induce them to mix up a compost of their own offal with sods, mold, leaves, weeds and all sorts of trash. This pen should bo equal to ten feet square for every two hogs, and so long as it is worked every day it will not injure by exposure to the weather ; but it should afterwards be covered, and it should always have stuff'enough put in to keep the hogs from getting it into a very muddy condition. If you have not mould enough to entirely absorb the Tha great drainage crusade is about twenty years cid ; ten years have made guano and superphos- phate universal, and employed at a cost of several millions a year ; steam thrashing machines are so multiplied lhat in a few years one maker has sent out 2,000 ; and the rage is now palpably set in for the perfected reaping-machine. The de- mands of the times have built fac- tories for manure, mills for cattle food, works for a new order of farm machinery ; and with implements from the manfacturer, instead of the blacksmith, manures annalysed by the chemist, produce delivered by the railway, and information thrown broadcast by exhibitions.prizt. essays and periodical literature, the Eng- lish agr.culturists have become a changed race of men, eager to avail themselves of in vent tons applicable to their art. Already the plough, harrow, scarifier, and the whole host of draught implements are threatened with distn ssal, unless they behave themselves, the long- round of sluggish operations by which the soil is reduced into a seed bed being attainable in a single act by Mr. Wren Hoskin's rotary del- ving ; and light traction engines are being constructed for tolerably level districts to diaw the thrashing mill from farm to farmstead, or convey the grain and hay and wool to mar- ket. 'J hus the day may not be far distant when the million farm horses working the 20,000.000 acres of arable land in Great Britain will find their occupation gone. As it is, the universal adoption of steam- ploughing and scarifying would alone dispense with one-third, leav- ing their food to be converted into good beef and mutton, instead of into the horseflesh now wasted in hard labor, but which Swedish and French epicures cannot make sa- voury to us. Andconsidei that the «£ 10,1)00.000 worth of corn and fod- der saved from snnual consumption in tilling the land would find its way into market in the shape of some 400,000 fat bullocks, equivalent to a hundred times our weekly metro- politan supply. The work of the steam plough is not only accomplished far more cheaplyâ€"it is of higher value wnen done. Ploughing or scuffling with “a machine,” our shifty labourers can no longer miss portions of the ground un i oved, to be afterwards glossed over with the deceitful har- row ; or hold the tool shallower, in the master’s absence so t at, going easier, their horses coats may shine the brighter. Clumsy or idle work- men can no longer make a defective seed-bed by an uneven furrow-bot- tom and irregular depth and width of ploughing. The slices laid up at the proper angle give the largest amount of mould to the seed ; and no longer tied to the slow pace of team, the quick speed of the imple- ment shakes and disintegrates in- stead of toughening the upraised furrow. And, better than all, not only is the subsoil freed from most of the sledging pressure of the ‘ sole’ but both the upper and under soil are tilted without the trampling and The Scottish American Journal DEVOTED TO TIIE Interests of Scotchmen in America, AND TO THE DISSEMINATION OF SCOTTISH LITERATURE AND ART /CONSIDERING ihe multiplicity of news- \J papeis in America, it has to many been a matter of surprise that the numerous body of Scottish residents should have been so long un- represented- To supply this desideratum, No. I, of the Scottish American Journal was published on Saturday, August 8, 1857. and is tow continued weekly. The primary object of tlie Journal is to fur- nish iis readers regularly with the news of their native country. It presents a weekly re- cord of all events of interest occurring in Scot- land, and its subscribers are iu this way as fully into med of what is transpiring at home as if they were in regular receipt of an oid-country newspaper. Scottish questions will be discussed with intelligence and impartiality in the editor- ial columns, and the sentiments of the leading’ parties on these subjects will be fairly repre- j sented and commented upon. Jn the literary and miscellaneous department of the paper, while merit and talent will be ap- preciated from whatever country they emanate, the Scottish element will preponderate. Tales, sketches, and poetry, illustrative of the Scottish character, and of a nature fitted to call forth the sympathies of Scotchmen both at home and abroad, will occupy a conspicuous place. Iu this department, tho co-operation of various distinguished authors, possessing unrivalled facilities lor the task, has been secured' in politics, the Journal will occupy a thoroughly independent position, alike free from party bias and national prejudice. In or- der to ii terest its readers wherever situated, it will take a broad view of topics of this class, hoiding those of a merely local nature, except n so far as they may p;esent points of import- ance to tho general public Questions involv- ing the interests of .British residents in the United States and in the British Provinces, will bo specially considered, and it is believed that the information and nows of the Journal on this impo tant class of subjects will be such as shall command attention. The Scottish American Journal, will in every respect be conducted in an efficient and business like manner, with every requisite guarantee for its permanence. Tho proprietors, who are responsible parties, resident in Now York and elsewhere, therefore look with con- fidence for the support of their numerous coun- trymen in all parts of America, and they will bo glad to communicate with respectable par- ties at a distance who may be disposed to co- operate with them for the establishment of the paper in their respective localities. A publication established with these objects must of course look for support mainly from those connected by birth or descent with the country whose current history it chronicles ; but as tho broad basis of this journal necessi tates, in addition, tho treatment of all import- ant questions affecting American interests, and as its literature will be cosmopolitan, it is hoped that even to the general reader its columns will not appear un6ntertainin<r or profitless.

ORR. OsiIAWA, C. W From whom all English or American Phon- graphic Work* may be urocured DR. MORSE’S Indian Moot Fills. DR. MORSE, the inventor of Morse’s Indian Root Pills, has spent tho greater portion of his life in travelling, having visited Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as North Americaâ€" has spent three years among th 3 Indians of our Western countryâ€"it was in this way that the Indian Root Pills were first discovered. Dr. Morse was tho first man to establish tho fact that all diseases arise from IMPURITY OF THE BLOODâ€"that our strength, health and life depended upon this vita! fluid. When tho various passages bocomo clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the dif- ferent functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted and disoased ; thus causing all pains, sickness and distress of every name ; our strength is exhausted, our hoalth we are deprived of, and if nature is not assisted in tnrowing ofi’ the stagnant humors, the blood will become choked and cease to act, and thus our light of life will bo forever blown out. How important then that we should keep tho various passages of the body free and open. And how pleasant to us that wo have it in em- power to put a medicine in your reach, namely, Morse’s Indian lloot Pills, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around the nwu i- atnious clifis in Nature’s Garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man. One of tho roots from which these Pills are made is a Sudorific, which opens tho pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out tho finer parts of tlie corruption within. The second is a plant which is an Expectorant, that upens and unclogs the passage to the lungs by copious spitting. The third is a Diuretic, which gives ease and double strength to the kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of im- purity from the blood, which is then thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passage, and which could not have been discharged in any other way. The fourth is a Cathartic, and accompanies the other properties of the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood ; the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by ihe other outlets, are thus taken up and From the above, it is shown that Dr. Mouse’s Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find their way to every part, and complete- ly rout and release the system from all impm>v, and the life of tho body, which is the blooci, becomes porfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain is driven from tho system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes so pure and clear. The reason why people are so distressed when sick, and why so many die, is because they do not get a medicine which will pass to the afflicted parts, and w'hich will open the natural passago for the disease to bo cast out ; hence, a large quantity of food and other matter is lodged, and the stomach and intestines are literally overflowing with the corrupted mass ; thus undergoing disagreeable fermentation, constantly mixing with the blood, which throws the corrupted matter through every vein and artery, until life is taken from the body by disease. Dr. Morse’s PILLS have added to themselves victory upon victory, by restoring millions of the sick to blooming health and hap- piness. Yes, thousands who have been racked or tormented with sickness, pain and anguish, and whose feeble frames iiave been scorched by the burning elements of fever, and who have been brought, as it were, within a step of he silent grave, now stand ready to testify that they would have been numbered with the dead, had it not been for this great and wonderful medicine, Morse’s Indian lloot Pills. After one or two doses had been taken, they were as tonished, and absolutely surprised, in witnessing their charming effects. Not only do they give immediate ease and strength, and take away all sickness, pain and anguish, but they at once go to work at the foundation of the disease, which is the blood. Therefore, it will be shown, especially by those who use there Pills, that they will so dense and purify, that diseaseâ€" that deadly enemyâ€"will take its flight, and the flush of youth and beauty will again return, and the prospect of a long and happy life will chei.sh and biighten your days.

The object of the Woman’s Advocate is the opening out of now spheres of employment for women who have so long suffered the distress attendant upon the insufficient remuneration, and a too limited number of occupations. The paper endeavors to collect all informa- tion that can be important to women, relative to occupations better suited to them, and which will yield a more comfortable subsistence than tho few unhealthy trades upon which they have been so far obliged to depend for exis- tence. Tho Advocate employs, in the various de- partments of the business, many women, who are paid for their labor as high prices as are paid to men for tho same amount of work. To the editor and proprietor tho past three years 111 which she has been engaged in this work, have been years of anxiety and toil ; but the entorprize has been carried 011 with the hope of doing good to others, and finally pushing the business to a successful point, when it may re- munerate all concerned. With this hope she enters the field for another year, trusting to the many assurances of friends in all parts of the country, for aid and co-operation.
