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.

And old offender was lately brought before anew justice, and introduced as John Simmons, alias Jones, alias Smith. “I will try the two women first ” said the thick headed justice. “Bring in Alice Jones." “Will you dine with me to-morrow V' inquired a Hibernian of a Mend, whom he had met. “Faith, and I will with all my heart," said he. “It’s only a family dinner I’m asking you to.” ■ “And what for not A family dinner is a mighty pleasant thing.

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. When you are going out on an excur sion fine weather comes very pat, but the rain often comes patter. HENRY FRANKLIN, WHOLESALE GROCER AND COMMISSION MERCHANT, No. 2 Warren Block, AUGUSTA,GEORGIA. 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 nothing in this world w'orth living for. ——■* mm if —i A good way to stop slander—pay no attention to it.
