POETICAL.
No matter how we came by the follow
ing note from a minister to a neighbor
ing friend. The flowing ease of the
versification, indicating the fraternal
feeling that dictated the epistle, makes the
piece a beautiful specimen of that most
'difficult species of writing—a real letter
in rhyme.
VARIETY,
My Dear friend .Neale,
How do you feel
This cheerless day—
So late In liny?
HaS “madam'' come ?
Are all at home
Whom home unites ?
Melissa well ?
And Tot7—do tell;
And sweet Jenuette,
Does she tnlk yet?
Ah I Neale, ’tis home,
And bairns and wife,
That cheer the gloom
Of cbeequered life.
However kind,
Much loved, or good,
The friends we find
When we're abroad;
However new,
Sublime or dear
The scene we view,
Or sounds we hear—
'Tis after all,
By tar more sweet
To list the call
Of tiny feet—
And clasp anon,
Within our arms,
A little one,
Whose countless charms
A parents eye
Can welt descry;—
To sit at eve
With one’s own wife—
Read, chat and weave
The web of life
As cottagers
Rehearse a tale, —■
In England—o’er
A mug of ale.
All l brother, you
And I do know
They bid adieu
To bliss, who go
To find it where *
The mass repair.
It happiness
Abides on earth
its dwelling place
Is by the hearth—
The heart of sweet
And quiet home.
And though the feet
Of others roam
We’ll fondly cling
To this—and sing,
With higher zest,
'Mid scenes so blest,
The song we knew
In olden times—
Before a e grew
To manhood’.; prime.
But t must chock this flying strain. ;
It will not check itself, I see •
So seldom do I take the rein,
Pegassus thinks to run with'me.
Hold on Imy boy! -do let me tell I
My errand.—Mrs. G. writes home.
That she and Charlie both are well;
Have homeward tar as Hartford come,
And will she thinks in Boston be
By Friday noon to welcome me,
So, if you please, we’ll calculate
To find a knife and fork and plate
Upon your table, Friday noon,—
I might have mentioned, too,a spoon,
For certain guests; who having been
Oft entertained, would come again.
Excuse the rytlimus oi tbi3 letter—
I have no time to make it better ;
Furthermore; a friend comes in :
Yours as ever, Grave of Lynx.

CARE OF COWS IN AUTUMN.
An interesting farmer of Western New
York communicated to us recently bis
practice in the management of bis cows
during the seasons when grass begins to
fail. He says the great secret of rear
ing and feeding stock successfully, is to
keep what you get—to save every pound
of flesh and fat that is produced. The
question lying still back of that is, how
shall the flesh and fat be retained. What
to do and how to do it is the question.
Hitherto I have always commenced feed
ing my cows meal in October, and con
tinued the regular extra feed through
November; and we made more butter in
one of those autumn months than in any
other month of the grazing season. I
have a pint cup, with flaring sides, that
holds when dipped in deep and heaped
up full, about two quarts of good Indian
com and oats, of equal parts, made of
the pure grain. I never cob my animals.
I am down on that cob system of man
agement. With every fifteen bushels of
coin and oats I mingle, before it is
ground, about one bushel of flaxseed
This improves the quality of the feed
for animals of any kind, as ground flax
seed, when mingled with grain is far bet
ter for milch cows, for horses, for fatten
ing sheep, or for young stock of any kind,
than oil meal. I sow' a little flaxseed ev
ery year for the express purpose of hav
ing the seed to mingle with the grain
that i3 ground into meal for my cow's
and other stock.
I think this is the true way to make
money—to save all that is made, without
losing any portion. The little losses ab
stract the profits.—[N. Y. Herald.
CO-OPERATION AMONG FARMERS.
There is no reason why farmers should
not combine to protect their own inter
ests, but every reason why they should.
The agricultural interest being the most
extensive in the country, and being the
basis on which national prosperity is
built up, should by all means make itself
felt. But caution should be exercised in
choosing leaders in any movement look
ing towards co-operation or combination,
and liberal and just views *with regard to
the claims of seemingly conflicting inter
terests should be adopted, lest uahaply
impossibilities be attempted, and failure
in expectation should result.
FLOWERS.
Flowers stimulate industry as well as
lighten toil. For we must have them.
We are cold without them, but to have
them requires patient study, patient cul
ture, and untiring determination. Every
one must be studied alone. This can be
successfully done only in connection with
art and a kind of horticultural genius.
Their culture is an art. How they breathe,
and eat, and drink! How they van- their
species—under what laws!
A certain doctor who sometimes drank
a good deal f t dinner, was summoned
one evening to see a lady patient when
he was more than “half--seas over,” and
conscious that he was so. On feeling her
pulse and finding himself unable to count
its beats, he muttered, “ Drunk, by Jove!
Next morning, recollecting the circum
stances, fie was greatly vexed, and just
as he was thinking what explanation he
should offer to the lady, a letter was put
in his hand.
“ She too well knew," said the letter,
“that he had discovered the unfortunate
condition in which she was when he vis
ited her,” and she entreated him to keep
the matter a secret, in consideration of
the enclosed—a hundred dollar bill.
A Keokuk, lowa, lady, while engaged
in the pursuit of her domestic duties, en--
countered a mouse in the flour barrel.
She summoned the hired man and told
him to get the shot-gun, call the bull
dog and station himself at a convenient
distance. Then she climbed half-way up
stairs and commenced to push the bar
rel vigorously with a pole. Presently
the mouse made its appearance and start
ed across the floor. The bull-dog went
in pursuit. The hired man fired and the
dog dropyed dead. The lady fainted and
dropped down the stairs, and tire hired
man, thinking she was killed, lit out and
has not been seen since. The mouse.es
caped.

The Newcastle Journal gives the fol
lowing process for putting on tight
boots:
“ Our fairy-footed nice young men will
be rejoiced to learn that tight boots may
be drawn on easily by a simple process.
The patient lies down on the floor, and
holds liis feet straight up in the air until
the. blood, runs -ou L - of them, thus dimin
isaing the size of the foot by several
ounces, when it w'ill slip into the boot as
sleek as sliding into a gutter on a dark
night. To enjoy perfect immunity from
pedal torture while the foot is thus in
cased it is only necessary to remain in
the position until ready to draw' off the
boots.”
Coleridge was a remarkably awkward
horseman, so much so as generally to at
tract notice. He was once riding along
a turnpike road, when a wag approach
ing noticed his peculiarity, and thought
the rider a fine subject for a little sport,
when, as he drew' near, he thus accosted
the poet: “I say, young mar, did you
meet a tailor on the road?” “Yes ” re
plied Coleridge, “I did: and he told
me if I w'ent a little further I should
meet his goose.”
A Louisville man has a sunflower four
teen feet high, three boils on his leg, and
a cold in his head, but yet he says there’s
