Feels on his cheek the dewy kiss, and lifts
His open brow to catch his fragrant gifts
The aroniatg spoil
Borne from the blossoming gardens of the
South,
hile its faint sweetness lingers round his
mouth. o

O To cheerhe sunlight, while it lingers yet
On the warm hillside and the violet
Opens its axurc cup
Meekly, and countless wild flowers wake
to fling
Their earliest incense on the gales of
Spring.
Continual songs arise
From universal nature birds and streams
Mingle their voices,and the glad earth seems
A second paradise!
Sunshine and song, and fragrance, all are

Thrice blessed Spring thou bravest gift

Xotito earth alone
Thou hast a blessing for the human heart.
Lalin for its wounds, and healing for its
smart
Telling of Writer aovri,
And bringing upon thy rainbow sing

THE IUISV DAYS.
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary ;
It rains, and the wind is never weary ;
The vine still to the mouldering wall.
Lut at every Jrhst tli dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
Jfy life is cold, and dark, and dreary ;
It rains, and the wind is never weary ;
Jfy thoughts still cling to the mouldering
Tast,
B Hut the hopes of youth fall thick in the
blast.
And the days are dark and dreary.
e He stillsad heart! and cease repining ;
Lehiml $e clouds is the sun still shining :
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must tall,
Some day must be dark and dreary.
Enterprise follows the path
marked by reflection to profitable dis
coveries, and industry, guided by in
iutelligence, reaps its appropriate re
ward. E iith is bountiful to all her
children, but bestows her choicest fa
vers on the most dutiful. In what
ever occupation men engage thy
must drawthcir sustenance, from the
bosom if the common mother, and
thus all he pursuits of life depend for
existence upon .Agriculture. It is
one of the strangest anomalies in his-
tory Lnat a calling thus paramount
and all controlling, should have re
- inained throng sixty centuries ne
glected and ill understood, while more
(D fimple and exact, though infinitely
less important arts, were ages ago
brought to a degree of perfection that
modern skill ma- not hope to sur
pass. But though the idea of im
provement in Agriculture and agricul
tural implements is less than a hun
dred years old, very young in the
presence of the centuries, its progress
and its results would be incredible
were they not so well authenticated.
No sculptor of this age expects to ri
vol the wo! ks of the chisel of Phidias,
stained and marred during the lapse
of twenty-four hundred years; and
even our boasted "sun-pictures"
would appear lifeless and inaccurate
compared with the inimitable crea
tions t f the pencil of Protoques ; but
the most ignorant of our, lately eman
cipated fffcdmcn would cast aside as
useless the clumsy spade with which
Cato, the censer, fuffowed his little
farm, and the least enlightened con.,
servative in modern agriculture would
convert into fuel the wooden plough
oftfTriptoIcrous, the mythical "Thrice
Plonghcr'7 of the ancient Greeks, who
with this implement, won the favor of
Ceres, and was permitted to fly through
the air liiQthe dragon-drawn chariot

States was patented in 17C3.
often, especially after heavy
rains, mcei with watsr which is not

way cf purifying it, which simply
consists in putting in from two to
three ten-thousandth parts of alum,
about two grains per pound. This
will cause all the extraneous animal
matter to coagulate and sink to the
bottom. Yet very few have recourse
to tls simple method, probably be
cause they tire afraid ot drinking nl
uin-watcr; but they do r.ot consider
that the ;dttm is decomposed by the
mere fact of its exercising a chemic
al $ i lbier.ee. M. Jennet, of the Cen

Ever since the period of the ap
pearance of the potatoe rot in this
country, farmers have been studying,
more or less closely, the potatoe crop,
and we believe we speak within the
bounds of truth in saying-, that all
who have had the best opportunity
to judge, have decided that the appli
cation of mineral manures will give
the best result, and the use of strong
horse, or other fermenting manures,
the poorest return. Especially does
this prove true in seasons when rot
is most prevalent. In New Jersey,
the green sand mare used lavishly,
supplies oil the mineral elements.
In other localities, where this cannot
be obtained, ashes, lime, piaster and
superphosphate of lime are employed
with certainty, when properly ap
plied in sufficient quantity. All
strong soils yield a better crop of
potatoes when plowed, and complete
ly pulverized in autumn, and we sup
pose this to bo mainly due to the
elimination of the mineral elements,
consequent on the comminution cf
the soil, and its exposure to atmos
pheric influences during winter. In
the spring the more thoroughly' the
ground is again plowed the better
for the crop.

In Denmaik, two dairies of Ayr

G25 gallons per annum for each cow.

Tiif Et'TTEit Pkasox. The cool weather
of ant um is the most favorable season of
the year fir making butter, and it should
be the aim of every farmer or dairyman to
produce the besi possible article for mar
ket purposes. There is no disguising the
fact that, with good cows, ample feed and
much experience iu butter making, many
persons succeed in making a villainous
compound of grease, milk and hair, des
ignated 1 y name but no legitimate relation
ship to it. Much of" the butter of com
merce is of this character a fact for which
there is no excuse. Clean milking, clean
pails, (satis, crocks and churns are the first
reipii.iits to the production of a good arti
cle of butter. This every body knows
without being informed of it, but the
trouble is. the practice is not up with the
information possessed. Here is where re
form, iu many cases, should commence
followed by a kindred amendment of con
verting the cream into butter. It the but
termilk is not thoroughly worked out, a
good ai tiele cannot be produced; if the
salt used is foul, of poor quafty and inju
diciously applied, too much or too little,
the. butter will not be of good quality, nor
command a top price iu the market.

Signs and Portents. From the

Some years since, while reading in
the city of Providence, we heard much said
in praise of Terry Davis' "Tain Killer." We
listened incredulously to these testimonials.
Well, health failing, as a last resort, the doc
tors sent us to Minnesota. The winter was
intensely cold, and a terrible form of Neural
gia prevailed among the settlers, and we fell
into the grasp ot" the disease, and day and
night, for weeks, endured untold agony.
Many remedies were tried without avail.
One day. however, a stalwart frontiersman
entered the room, bearing in his hand a vial
partly tilled with a reddish liquid.
It was some of the Taix Killer. lie had
bought it iu California three years before,
and had kept it with miserly care until then.

persons reject this remedy, we recall our

come when pain, incurable by other agents,
may teach them the value of this great discover-.

ZT' Nor do I think that Belting, iu order
to bear the strain of Oregon Machinery, must
be made in the Atlantic States.

concerned, that Oregon Leather is the best
