PBOPXiB’S FBIBEW. POETBT: “WANTED.” From the Atlanta Sun.] [lnscribed to the Bachelor editor of the Sun touching whom an editorial appeared Sunday morning.] One more unfortunate Tired of life— Tired of existence For want of a wife. Think of him tenderly, Not with disdain; Carefully, lovingly, Auain and again. • Look at his garments, Tattered and torn; Buttonless, stringless, Shockingly torn ; Unfitting habiliments For any to wear, For this child of TllE SUN, This “blonde” so fair. Think net of him scornfully, But tenderly, mournfully, 0, maiden so fair ; And reach from thy sphere above Love’s rosy mantle, And shield him from bitter despair. He has no father, He has no mother ; Not, e’en a sister, Or even a brother. Never a friend In his darkness to say— “ Friend will you sew on My buttons to-day?” Alas ! it is pitiful In the whole city full Is there cot one Whose fair dainty fingers O’er duty ne'er lingers : Whose pleasure ’(would be To sew on the buttons For this “Child of TllE Sun.” The bleak winds of March Will soon make us shiver, And the impudent, breeze, 'Chat dismantles the trees, May say >n its glee “O, it’s jolly good fun 'To sport with the clothes Os this “Child of The Sun I ” Then ere his limbs Stiffen too rigidly ; Or e’en he east O er the world too frigidly His last look of hopeless despair— Is there no maiden Too, love ladcip Who will come in her beauty As some sweet dream, And take by the hand This fair “Child of The Sun,” And point to the love-land That lies just beyond? Ah! come in thy sweetnes, (>, beautiful one, O, come in thy freshness, E’er Love’s dream is done. Cast thy sweet glances From love-laden eyes O er this “Child of The Sun,” and bid him look up To life's glowing skies. Quien Same. Atlanta, Jan. 27, 1873. (From tin Atlanta I'lniitntlon.J Clover Hay For Horse#. Ki chard Montague, of Union Shrinks, New York, who drives the fastest horst* in tin* place, in forms the Country Gentlemen th it he feeds no grain, but ex clusive!} clover hay, which he re gards as richer food than any oth er ha\ or fodder. 11 is horse has had no other food tor the past two \ ears; and his good condition is justly ascribed, first, to the highly mnritivequalitiesofclover; and secondly, to Mr. Montague's care and skill in drying and cur ing clover, so (hat it wilt keep ami not get must} nor lose its fra grant leaves ami blossoms. Strange to say, only a tew farmers have learned to do this. Clover should be cut for hay as soon as it is in blossom. Do not wait for the heads tv turn brown. Cut when the dew is off, am! cure with as little sun asposible. This matter depends \er} much on the weather, tin* >ize of clover stems, their length, and abundance to the xiputre yard. Mr. Montague never permits the sun to shine moie than a halt da\ on cut clo\ er before be puts it into small cocks. One w hole da> of diving would be too much. It remains in the cock at least a w r eek; and is open ed to get air and dr}', t vo or three times, otherwise it w ill heat and spoil, unless the cocks are very small. In that case, the dew will injure the hay. There is a great art in making hay of the most aromantic and nutriticious quality. It is easier to make inferior hay than the. best, as it is to produce inferior tea and tobacco. Ten years’ resi dence in Tennessee has tailed to show’ the writer one farmer who produces clover hay, or any other, of the best quality that can be made from the plants used. The principal defect are: letting the grass stand too long before it is cut, and then remain too long in the sun, dew, and rain before it is housed. Oats and wheat are often treated in the same careless way. Slovenly farming is the parent of waste, poverty, and want. I). Lee. TO MAKE . OYS FARMERS. We wish all the fathers would heed what the “American Agri culterist” says: “Induce the’boys to take an interest in the farm, in the implements, in the stock; tell them all your plans, your success and your failures; give them a history of your life and what you did; and how you lived when a boy; but do not harp too much on the degenerate character of y oung men of the present age; praise them when you can, and encour age them to do still better. Let them dress up in the evening in stead of sitting down in their dirty clothes in a dirty room. Pro vide plenty of light. Thanks to kerosene, our country homes can boas brilliantly lighted as the gas-lit residences in the city. Encourage the neighbors to drop in, evenings. Talk agriculture rather than politics; speak of the importance of large crops, of good stock, of liberal feeding, and of the advantage of making animals comfortable, rather than of the hard times, low prices and high w ages. Above all; encourage the boy to read good agricultural papers. Get him some good ag ricultural books to study. Head them with him, and give him the benelit of your experience and criticism. When ho has master ed this, give him another. In our own case, we owe our love for farming, principally, to the fact that our father told us of every thing that he was doing on the farm; answering all the questions and encouraging, rather than re fusing, our child-like desire of helping him to plow, to chop, to drain, as well as tiring the brush heap.” GIVE US MORE FRUIT-TREES There can Im? no apology for owners of landed estates failing to put out fruit-trees ami vines and shrubbery. Every fruit-tree planted adds twenty times its cost, if not more, to the value of the farm; if in any event the owner or his heirshave reasons to sell the same, this truth will then be fully realized. Everybody is fond of fruit, and the man of family who neglects to provide it fur his household is not doing his whole duty to them. Any ob servant or intelligent man, con templating settling on an estate, w ill make it one of the first con siderations with him before pur chasing w het her or not it bason it an orchard of fruit; In* has no no tion of waiting several years for so healthful and toothsome an ad dition to his home comforts, and doubtless, many a sale has been defeated by the lack of thisluxery, or rather of this necessary por tion of food. Besides these home considerations, fruit is now be coming, in many quarters, the largest source of profit to the owners of plantations, and if the finer qualities are produced and attention is paid to the proper varieties and the times ami sea sons for their ripening ami gath ering. there can In* no more profitable cron raised than f.uit.
