Of all the detestable phrases that
ever were invented the very worst to
me mind is "Pig -killing Time."
Winter time has its attractions,
holiday time ie joyous, and Christ-

these is associated that horror of
horrors, pig -killing time. To city
ears the phrnse may have the force
of novelty, Oh, ye who dwell on

episode would have bad a olteoriug

By•and'byu we name to a bit of
really good road, where we.had a
delightful gallop,; which terminated
at the top of a little hill where a
woman wan banging out clothes,
The way she switched them on the
lino seemed to say, "l's a queer
thing that some women inn have a

where cold boiled ham and eaueagee while others havto stay at home

pause a lnv�!tnt with uplifted fork, wanted to atop and say to her,
"Alas. I dear madam, I am not the
gay and careless creature that I
seem. Outwardly I have nothing to
bother me, but within I am haunted
by a terrible fear that if I go lo the
barn for apples to -night there will bo
an awful enacted something lying
prone and rigid not far away."
Turning homeward, there leas no
sign of humanity visible beyond
these mot in farm waggon;, until a
group of men at a barn door near
'the road attracted my attention.
They seemed mach interested in
their work. Were they about to
build a cow eked or chicken house ?
Near them was a barrel of steaming
water and upou a rough table lay—

There is something dreadful

bo prepared to die than it is tor a
,Dan, but that does not make the
clay of his death any the less deplor-
able to the present writer. It is
useless to try to get a reprieve for
the victim. Preparations are begun

It is suggested to me that I go for

fences, enjoying the bright warm
weather. "It is December with the
heart of May." But the woods are
ae dreary as a deserted house, and
there is nothing to rid my mind of

here comes an old neighbor. I will
stop and talk with him, and thus
cleanse my memory of pig -killing
time. •

folks mean to kill today.?" •
'Waal dobtwi Enonrs about Cats. Doge,
Donkeys and Pegs.
TEE CAT.
A eat is a domestic animal what
likes to be near a fire. When cats
get vexed, they oast their banks like
the hump of a camel, and their tette
swell out like a foxep, and they
scratch with the splinters in their
feet. Cate are different to dons. A
° dog wage its tail when it is pleased,
'a cat wags it when it is angry, that
is the reason they don't get 00.
'They hunt mice, birds, beetles and
other game. They do not sleep at
night like any other sensible animal,
but prowl about on bade -yard walls,
reeking horrid noises, and spitting
and scratching one another. It was
'one of these animals what led pa to
throw a whole 'chamber service noway

THE Pio.
The pig is a animal whati speaks
'with a grunt, and is fond of wallow -
tug iu the mire. Pigs do not wear
hair on their backs like other ani-
mate, but bristles. Blade puddings
end other things what we see on
the stalls on a market day come
from the pig: So does sausage, but
not German sausage. When they
talk about pigs in the Bible they
call them - mine; Bible pigs' were
fed on husks, but Bnglish pige are
fed on porridge and other' refuse.
A pig when it is dead ie galled bacon,
and is then 'cured.Fried bacon is a
common grticlo of food for break-
fast, The fat what comes from fried
bacon is good for children.
TEE DONKEY.
A donkey is a animal what has
four lege. It has also longer Bare
than tbia horse or any other animal.
The tail of a donkey is generall ,all
meat, Bair does not grow the eon.
They are very stupid animals,,// that
is the reason our sohoolmaetors call
us little donkeys sometimes. A don.
i key is very often like a woman—
when it says it won't go, it won't,
and they :are very bard done to.
Some good, kind people are called
donkeys, and that is how Jerusalem
donkeys were made, but the greatest
quantity come from sea -gide places,
where they earn their own living like
any other man. Donkeys feed' on
commove, and other planes where
there if no food, and Unto they are
termed oommou' donkeys, A don•
key what is not a donkey, es galled
