A stiffened corpse in silence slides.

Our feet are swift, our facts burn,
Our hopes aspire like soaring birds;
The world takes courage from our words,
And sees the golden time return.
But ever near us, s lent, cold,

With eager hearts, like us, and sa.ik
Because their feet were overbold.

Through treacherous siseens of unbelief;
They know not their despair and grief;
Their hearts and minds are turned to ice.

BEN IN’ Y,
I hud told him Christmas morning,
As be sat upon my knee,
Holding fast his little stockißgs,
Stuff’d as full its full could be,
And attentive listening to me,
With a face demure and mild.
That old Santa Clans, who filled them,
Did not love a naughty child.
“But we‘ll be good, won’t we, moder?’’
And from off iny lap he slid,
Digging deep among tlie goodies
In his crimson stockings hid ;
While I turned me to niv table,
Where a tempting goblet stood,
Brimming high with dainty egg-nog,
Sent me by a neighbor good.
Bi.t the kitten, there before me,
With his white paw, nothing loth,
Sat, by way of entertainment,
Slapping off the shining froth,
And in not tlie greatest humor
At the loss of such a treat,
I confess, I rather rudely
Thrust him out into the street.
Then, how Benny’s blue eyes kindled!
Gathering up the precious store
lie had busily been pouring
In his tiny pinafore,
With a generous look that shamed me,
Sprang he from the carpet bright,
Showing by his mein indignant,
All a baby’s sense of right.
“Come back, Harney!” called he loudly,
As he held his apron white, —
“You shall have my candy wabbit!”
But tlie door was fastened tight;
So he stood, abashed anti silent,
In the centre of the lloor,
With defeated look alternate
Ilrift t/ii mtr m*t Dll tfttf ttfKJTL
Then, as by some sudden impulse,
Quickly ran lie to the fire,
And while angerly his bright eyes
Watched the flames go high and higher,
In a brave clear key he shouted,
Jake some lordly little elf,
“Santa Kaus, come down de chimney,
Make my moder, ’have herself.”
“I will be a good girl, Benny”
Said I, feeling the reproof,
And straightway recalled poor Ilarnev,
Mewing on the galley roof,
Soon the anger was forgotten,
Laughter chased away the frown,
And they gambolled ’neath the live-oaks,
Till the dusky night came down.
In my dim, fire-lighted chamber
Ilarnev purred beneath my chair,
And my play-worn boy beside me
Knelt to say his evening prayer ;
“God I ess k.der, — God boss moder,
God bess sister,” —then a pause,
And the sweet young lips devoutly
Murmured,.“God bess Santa Kaus!”
lie is sleeping,—brown and silken
Lie the lashes, long and meek,
Like careless clinging shadows
On his plump and peachy cheek;
And I bend above him weeping
Thankful tears —Oh, undefiled!
For a woman’s crown .of glory,
For the blessing of a child.

Winter ('are>i and Joys.
The w inter is increasing its severity, and a few i
weeks only will elapse before the bitter cold will
call forth souvenirs from the oldest inhabitant, ,
comparisons from the meteorologists, and wise i
comments and queer chips from those about town ]
philosophers, the “locals.” Such being the case,
it will do no harm if those of our readers, who j
know what is for their benefit, would go resolutely ,
to work and sec to sundry minor matters which ,
are very conductive to comfort in the times of |
short days. ,
In the first place every house should be not only (
thoroughly warmed, but ns perfectly ventilated as j
possible. To shiver in damp weather is deadly ; (
to sit in the same closeheated air for hours, is the
best possible preparative lor catching cold. It is j
not merely the transit from hot to cold which in- i
jures ;it is the exchange of dry, foul air for fresh, |
which suddenly affects the pores and has a marked
action on the organs of respiration. At the sanie
time, constant draughts of cold air from windows
and doors are even worse in their effects. The
first care of the housekeeper should he to see that
every door is made tight at the edges, which will
prove a great economy in fuel; the second to see
that the room is aired at regular intervals, and
that where possible a ventilator or a chimney is
provided, so that there may be an exit lor heated
air without endangering health.
Another fact well worth remembering in this
weather, is that when the first premonitions of cold
are felt, the best way to prevent it is to exorcise
vigorously until perspiration is induced, when the
sufferer should keep up the warmth by full cloth
ing or by going to bed. No punches, or warm
baths, or hot water and mustard for the feet, can
be compared to the glow which a general stretch
ing out of the muscles induces. If fairly caught,
the cold must be endured, but it is always modified
by avoiding excesses of ail kinds.
Asa mere matter of health, economy and com
fort, home pleasures nnd evening amusements in
the home circle should be carefully cultivated dur
ing the winter. There is less of this in our coun
try, domestic as we are, than there should be. An
ingenious mind and an obliging disposition find it
easy to prepare or suggest a thousand minor mat
ters conducive to pleasure and rational instruc
tion.
Si'inm ALisM in Italy.—A funny story is told
in a communication to the Spiritual Age, by Mr.
J. J. Jat vis, the distinguished author, now resid
ing in Florence, Italy. It is as follows :
“At a recent cirele in this city, a skeptical Phy
sician unexpectedly entered on a visit, and seeing
what the family were about, asked permission for
“the fun of the tiling,” to sit with them. The
phenomena soon began, and directed towards him
too.
“ Who i* it wants me ?’’ he asked.
The medium's hand, (a titled lady of great re
finement and distinction in society) was made to
write —
“ One of your patients w horn you killed—d n
you 1” #
Imagine the confusion of both, parties. The
doctor disappeared ; and the mortification of the
lady medium has scaicely abated yet.”
I “ wish,” sai 1 a beautiful wife to her studi
ous husband, “I wish 1 was a book.” “I wish
I you were— An Almanac,” replie her lord, ‘and
then I would get anew one every year.” Just
ihenthe silk rustled.
Duties of .Winter.
The Ions; winter nights ‘. lVatk, cold arid stern
as thev seem, they are the friends of wisdom, the
patrons of literature, the nurses of vigorous, pa
tient, inquisitive and untiring intellect, so some,
indeed, they come particularly associated, when
not with gloom, with various gay scenes of amuse
ment, witli lighted halls, lively music, and a few
(hundred) friends. To others, tlie dearest scene
which they present, is the cheerful fireside, in
structive books, studious and industrious children,
and those friends, whether many or few, whom
tlie heart and experience acknowledge to be such.
Society has claims ; social intercourse is profita
ble as well as pleasant: amusements arc naturally
sought fur by the young, and such as are innocent
they may well partake of; but it maybe asked,
whether, when amusements run into excess, they
do not leave their innocence behind them in the
career; whether light social intercourse, when it
takes tip a great deal of time, lias anything valua
ble to pay in return for that time ; and whether
the claims of society can in any way be better sat
isfied than by the intelligence, the sobriety and
tie peaceableness of its members ? Such qualities
and habits must be acquired at home; and not by
idleness even there, but by study. The winter
eveuings seem to be given to us, not exclusively,
but chit-fly for instruction. They invite its to in
struct ourselves, to instruct others, anil to do our
patt. in furnishing all proper means of instruction.
\Ye must instruct ourselves. Whatever our
age, condition, or occupation may be, this is a du
ty which we cannot safely neglect, and for tiie per
formance of which the season affords abundant op
portunity. To know what other minds have done,
is not the work of a moment; and it is only to be
known from the records which they have lett of
themselves, or from what has been recorded of
them.
To instruct ourselves is necessarily our own
work; but v.e cannot well instruct ourselves with
out learning from others. Tlie stores of our own
minds il is for ourselves to use for the best effects
and to the greatest advantage ; but if we do not
acquire with diligence, from external sources,
there w ould be very few of us who would have any
store to us. Let no one undervalue intellectual
means, who wishes to effect intellectual ends. The
best workman will generally want the best tools,
and the best assortment of them.
We must instruct others. This duty belongs
most especially to parents. All who have chil
dren, have pupils. The winter evening is the cho
sen time to instruct them, when they have past
the tenderest years of their childhood. Those
who have school-task to learn should not be left to
toil in solitude; but should be encouraged by the
presence, aided bv the superior knowledge of their
parents, whose pleasure as well as duty it should
lie to lend them a helping hand along the road,
not always easy, of learning.
INSTRUCTING CHILDREN.
While tlie child is leaning over his book, the
father and the mother should be nigh, that when
he looks up in weariness or perplexity, lie may
find, at least, the assistance of sympathy. They
need not be absolutely tied to the study-table, but
they should not often hesitate between the calls of
umusemeut abroad, and tlie demands for parental
example, guidance anil companionship at home.—
They w ill lose no happiness by denying themselves
many pleasures, and will find that the most bril
liant of lustres are their own domestic lamp, and
the cheerful and intelligent eyes of their children.
But all have not children; and the children ol
some are too young to be permitted to remain
with their parents beyond the earliest hours of
evening; nnd ti,. r utiit-rs are o!J
enough to accompany their parents abroad. For
all those w ho think they could pleasantly and prof
itably receive instruction ol a public nature, and
for this purpose spend an hour or two away from
their homes, there is, happily, a plenty of instruc
tion provided. Winter is the very season for pub
lic instruction ; and it must be said, to their honor,
that, our citizens have excellently improved it as
such. Opportunities of gaining useful know ledge
have been provided, and they have not been neg
lected by those for whom the provision has been
made. The fountains of waters have been open
ed, and the thirsty have been refreshed.
The home-instruction is to be placed at the head
of all instruction, yet there are numbers who have
not instruction at home, and numbers who have
none at home to whom they may communicate in
struction ; and there are numbers who find it con
venient and useful to mingle public and domestic
instruction together, or alternate the one with the
other. And when it is considered that the public
lectures referred to are charged w ith little expense
to the hearers; that they tire delivered by the best
and ablest men among us : that hundreds of youth
resort to them, many of w hom are in all probabili
ty saved from idleness, and some from vice and
crime ; and all who may attend them they
afford a rational employment of time, w e may look
to the continuance of such means of knowledge
and virtue as one of the most inestimable of bene
fits.
I come now to'the second great duty of winter,
that of charity. Winter is the peculiar season of
charity. The sun, the generous friend of the
poor, is summoned to withdraw his heat, and seems
to say to us, that we must keep our hearts the
warmer towards them till he returns with it again.
The piercing cold finds an easy entrance through
the broken panes and wide seams of the day-la
borer’s room or hovel, and little fire on his hearth
to tame its severity. The price of fuel is high.—
The children fall sick, from cold, and scantiness of
clothing, and insufficient food ; and by and by the
father or mother is obliged to give up labor and
lie down on the bed of pain.
This is the season for charity. If they who are
in plenty think not now and act for those who are
destitute, I believe that they will one day rue
their insensibility. I know that difficulties sur
round this whole subject. I know that the benev
olent are frequently imposed upon by the most
outrageous falsehoods. ‘1 know that improvidence,
intemperance and multiplied vices are the piohfic
causes of pauperism and misery. I know all this
well, because I have seen it. 1 know that if we
give ever so cautiously, we shall sometimes give
to the undeserving. I have been imposed upon
myself, and perhaps laughed at by the objects of
my pity. Every one has been imposed upon who
has listened to the suggestions of his heart ; and
if he has not been imposed upon at all, I believe
that he has greatly imposed upon himself. I would
rather be deceived once, twice, thrice, than to
know that through my neglect, or my excessive
caution, a fellow being had been frozen or starved,
or had suffered severely through cold and hunger.
It is certainly our duty to examine as well as to
give, and make a wide difference, both in our re
gards and donations, between laziness and crippled
industry—between the vicious poor and ‘the virtu
ous poor. Hut when the most degraded erv out
for food and clothing and fire, shall they be refus
ed? Surely they err in every point of view, when
they forsake the path of honesty and truth : or
they inevitably lose by it? Hut ignorahee, dark
ignorance is some excuse, and pinching want is a
strong and present temptation. And then how
stands our own account with Ileaven ? Are we
readv that our own offence should be strictly mark
ed, and severely visited ?— Rev. F. IF. F. Green

For the PJouhgman.
THE FABHMW.
Messrs. Editor* :—I Have often bees much im
pressed by the f.ict that tire early settlers of Now
England were eminently am! almost exclusively an
agricultural people ; in the true sense, farmer’s
plougiunen. Those who lived entirely up on their
money, or by other callings or professions, were a*
scarce as gay butterflies in mid winter.
The governors, ministers, doctors, teachers, law
yers, merchants, all classes, almost universally
possessed their acres, toiled in their fields, held
their own ploughs, or drove their own teams, whilo
their fair wives and daughters, by their liousohold
industry, clothed ami beautifully adorned ail. Yes,
beautifully, I say, ii in real comfort, and in “ tho
ornaments of a meek and quiet spirit,” thero is
beauty.
To such characteristics of that, wonderful poop's
are to be attributed w hatever there is or has been,
that is praiseworthy or excellent in their descen
dants. Ralph Waldo Emerson, in a late Agricul
tural Address, truly said, “The farmer is a person
of remarkable conditions. lie is a slow person,
being regulated by time and nature, arid not by
city watches, llis spending must be a farmer’s
spending, and not a merchant’s. He is permanent.
Here in this town (Concord, Mass.,) farms remain
in the same family, now for seven or eight genera
tions,and the settlers of ICSS have their names still
in town, and the same general fact holds good in
all surrounding towns in the country. This hard
work will always be done by one kind of men ; not
by scheming speculators, not by professors, nor by
readers of Tennyson, but by men of strength and
endurance. The farmer has a great life. The city
is always recruited from the country. The men in
tiie cities who are the centres of energy, the driv
ing wheels of trade, or polities, or arts, or letters,
the women of beauty ati.l geoins, are the children
or grandchildren of farmers. ’
These are truths too instructive, too great to uio
with the breath of the eloquent speaker, or in the
columns of a newspaper, once carelesslv read and
then burned. “ Farms,” he said, “remain in the
same family, now for seven or eight generations,
and the settlers of 1f..”,", have their names still in
town !” In what pursuits or callings is the perma
nency of families thus remarkable? Such laui’iies
have no need to be a jot behind the famines In ci
ties, in the mo.se useful intelligence.
Among diligent workers are often to be found
the most diligent and well informed readers,
once asked a gentleman of fine talents and an emi
nent scholar, who had recently trrvd'ed over the
eastern continent, whether he thought the benefit
and pleasure were a compensation for their cu-i in
time and money ? ne replied, “I the,!, not. I
think that for the same amount of time ami money
1 might have obtained a initch greater amount of
useful and accurate knowledge, by retro r,g the
best works ot voyagers and traveller*. One of my
objects was the improvement of health. In that
respect I gained little or nothing ’’
True, “the farmer rs a slow man.” That is tlie_
grand secret of his safety and success. “ Tim race
is not to the swift.” lam far from bedsure that
the Ocean Telegraph will Dot always Lave its insu
perable difficulties.
The farmer’s slowness, with good intelligence,
eminently qualities him lor n.anv important trusts.
Often I have wondered why so few farmers are
found in our legislative bodies. Few thov ’s
comparison with tlieir great majori'y ov*r to*
other professions in the country towns. No <■ •.*-
of men better than they undetstand the gitv.t and
vital interests ol a community. The same may be
said of mechanics. It is right that ad class- he
fairl.v represented, in making and administering
the laws.
If our laws are for the people, why should they
require those more learned than the people to un
derstand and administer them ? Such now are
their inconsistencies and intricacies tii.it they cost
the Commonwealth a great amount of taxes in
vain attempts to amend them.
Farmers have no pleasure in the intricacies of
law as others may have. Let them demand that
their laws, and all learning shall be in plain Eng
lish. I say, let the Farmers and Mechanics arise
in their majesty and save the country from dark,
endless, bewildering messages and addresses spread
over the land from head quarters of tl-o State or
the Union, and from laws so framed and adminis
tered as to prove disguised instruments of oppres
sion. What a contrast has this Republic already
become to those of Greece, as history informs us,
in the days of her glory, persevering in the love of
simplicity, frugality and even poverty ; in remote
ness from pomp and luxury ; in zeal and ardor for
the defence of their liberty, and the preservation
of their ancient manners. Or must this, like all
other Republics, by our own degeneracy early go
down in disgrace ? Solemnly do I believe that
there is no redeeming power i:i our land, unless it
is to be found in the principles and characters ot
the farmers and the oilier working classes, who
live by honest labor, and not by greedy specula
tion, or other artful impositions.
Let me say, in sincerity, what I think justice
demands,that I have uniformly admired the Plough
man for its plain, able, faithful advocacy of the
rights and the interest, not only of the cultivators
of the soil, but of all classes of this glorious inheri
tance from a glorious ancestry.
A Constant Reader.
Will it Tay to keep S’culfry lu l arge
Numbers ?
I have raised large numbers of bnrn-.vard fowls
for several years, and have invariably louud that
fifty or sixty hens would produce more eggs
through the year in proportion, than twice the
number, as they require a variety of food to keep
them in health ; and when out of health or keep
ing, they will not lay eggs, or hatch well. If they
do hatch, the chickens will sicken and die in a lew
day?, for the want of insect food, feed them as
bouutilully as you will.
You may prevent it in a measure, bv feeding
them fresh meat twice a week, chopped sip, with
Indian meal, until they are a mouth or six we
old ; they will then be strong enough to iamb
beyond the common walk oi the lien- and .. t ;;s
insects, as they keep all clear where t . n e • ueir
daily rambles. I have kept ten doz n hens, and i
never in the best season got more th in six dozen
eggs per day. I have kept four dozen and :<•
thirty-nine per day ; from two dozen J r*-< i t !
twenty-three p.-r day for six months. I ha;’ •
it several times, and found I got the Luge? qu ..-
tity of eggs anil twice the number ol chicken* in
proportion to the number of old hens.
1 fouud that to have lieu? lay eggs, they must
have their liberty a share of the lime. It is ii;e
same with turkeys. The young ones are very ten
der, and they must have animal lood or they will
sicken and droop and die. Ii they run with a hen
turkey, she w ill take them through the fields wln-n
the dew is on the grass, and they soon die. In. <
them with a barn fowl. This last season J raise.
eighty chickens and ten turkeys with five burn
liens. They had two acres of commons and four
acres of corn and potatoes to ramble over.
I feed boiled potatoes with oats, and In i t.

with a plenty of eggs for their use, and do so yet.
This is the result of my experience for many

Statesman and the New Hampshire Cabinet both
say that they should support with pleasure and zeal

gists and defenders. The unhcrsal impression
seems to be that tne law should be euiorced with
