BY GEORGE W. SEARS.
The red-winged meric from the bending spray,
With graceful pinions poising,
Pours out a liquid roundelay
In jubilant rejoicing ;
The cock-grouse drums on sounding log,
The fox forsakes the cover, ’
Tire woodcock pipes from fen and bog,
From upland leas the plover.
The speckled trout darts up the stream
Beueath the rustic bridges,
While flocks of pigeons glance and gleam
O’er beech and maple ridges ;
The golden robin thrills his note
Among the netted shadows.
The bobo’-link, with mellow throat,
Makes musical the meadows.
The peeping frogs with silver bells,
Iu rhythmical ovation,
Ring out a chime of treble swells
In joyous gratulation •
The low of kiue is mingling with
The song of lark and sparrow.
And fallow field is growing blithe
Beneath the plow and harrow.
The moon all night, serene and white
On lake and stream is glowing,
While rippling fountains seek her light,
Through woodland valleys flowing;
And all night long a low sweet song
Sweeps over the misty hollow,
From marsh, and feu, from hill and glen,
From brook, and field, and fallovG |
It is the time of pleasant things,
When love makes up its issues,
And hearts swell up, like hidden springs,
From rustic cel's and tissues-*-
A time to Jiear at break of day
A silver-chorused matin—
A liquid fretwork in chrochet
On atmospheric satin, —
A timo to feast the soul, the eyes,
To watch each bird tliatfpasses,
Aud ha'f surmise that birds are wise,
Ami men are only asses ;
And then to turn and raise the load
With weary shoulders bending.
And take the old, well-beaten road
3Bk:Th«fc leads--unto the ending.*

HOW THE.FARMERS ARE TAXED.
Congressman Brooks, of New York, in
closing his speecli on the tariff, a few days
ago, said that H no one else could be found
to undertake ihejask, he would mount a
pediet’s wagon and go through the agri
cultural districts, exhibiting a hoe, a plow j
an axe, a shovel, a trace chain, a knife aud
fork, with other articles, and demonstrate
to the eyes of the "people the,, unjust, the
wicked taxation that is imposed upon them
by the existing tariff’s’
This would be a very effective mode of
electioneering ; and that the people many
understand the extent of the taxation upon
some of the articles of every day life in
every family in the country, we append an
extract from a speech in Cohgress by Mr.
Marshall of Illinois :
‘The farmer fetarting’ to his work has a
shoe put on his horse t with nai s taxed 61
per cent ; driven by a hammer taxed 54- per
cent ; cuts a stick with a knife taxed 50
per cent; hitches his horse to a plow taxed
50 per cent ; with chains taxed 61 per cent.
He returns home at night and lays bis
weary limbs on a sheet taxed 58 per cent.,
and covers himself with a blanket that he
has paid 250 per cent. He rises in the
morning, puts on his humble flannel shirt
taxed 80 per cent., his coat taxed 50 per,
cent, shoes taxed 35 per ceDt, and hat taxed
10 per cent., opens family Bibie taxed 25 per
cent., aud kneels to his God on an humble
carpet taxed 150 per cent—He sits down
to his humble meal frem a plate taxed 40
per cent., with knife and folk taxed 35 per
cent., drinks his cup of coffee taxed 41 pei
cent*, or tea 18 per cent., with sugar 10
per cent ; seasons his food with salt taxed
100 per cent., or pepper 201 per cent., or
spice 319 per cent. He looks round upon
}iis wife and children, all taxed in the same
way ; takes a chew of tobacco taxed 100
per cent., or lights a cigar taxed 120 pei
cent., and then thanks his stars *aat he
lives in the free st aud best government
under heaven. If on the fourth of July he
wants to have the star-spangled banner
on real bunting, he must pay the American
Banting Company of Massachasetts 100 per
cent., for this glorious privilege. No
wonder, sir, that the Western farmer is
struggling with poverty, and conscious of
a wrong somewhere although he knows not
whence the blew comes that is chaining
him to endless toil, and reducing bis wife
and children to beggary.’
This ought to be read by everv farmer
in the United States, and while reading it
he should remember that but a tithe of the
taxation into the national treasury.
The goes into the pockets of
manufacturers.

A Dkad R4F'UI. —The following is from
a sermon on t Ik* death of a young man of
indifferent the social circle of R
early deceas but unequal
contest with the rtpbrd family :
‘I Lev been requested not to say impor
tuned, toe deliver a funeral discourse on
this occasion, and Ihev reluctantly consent
ed toe do so. I never heered any good of
the deceased yil ; and if the friends he.v
made up their minds that I am about to bes
gin seeh a course now, they are very much
mistakeu. I estimate, in fact, that this
young man now* a lyin’ before you was
about the wnst man ever permitted, in the
unscruiable ways of the devine peppussest
toe locate in this vicinity. He was one
who, I might say, allers fell when he was
tempted ; and he curlingly appeared to me
to seek, rather than to avoid, ocasions for
such temptation.
‘Why, my feller Christians, he kept hos~
ses and ’•un ’em ; he kep’ cocks and fit em ;
and as'to wimmin, let his widow (who I see
a settin’lii a front pew) testify.” (Here
the widow arose, as was the custom when
the family of the deceased was alluded to,
and, deeming it a complimentary remark'
courtes'ed to the preacher.) “Iu short, al
ter a£diligent inquiry intoe the pertickel
ers of his kerrikter and conduct, while he
has resided in this village, I have com toe
the conclusion that about the only good
thing that kin be said of him, at all, is,
that he was an active member of the en
gine company, and occasionally good at
fires.

GALLED I*o PREACH.
The papers tell a story of a member of the
persuasion, who, ambiLicusJof ministe
rial honors, was praying in the woods for
some divine manifestations of a call to
preach. While so engaged a John Donkey
set up one of those cries for which his race
is t peculiar, which Walker mistook for an
•affirmative reply to his appeal. Whereup
on he applied for a license, when the fol
lowing colloquy occurred between him and
the interrogating preacher :
Pastor —“Do you beleive, brother XX alk*
er, that you was called by God to preach
as was Aaron ?’
Walker— ‘.Most sartinly I does.’
p ‘Give the Church, that is, the breth
ern the proof.’
W ‘I was mightily diffikilted, and I was
determined to go into the woods and
wrastle it out.’
p ‘That’s it brother Walker.’
\y—‘And while thru* wrestling, Jacob
like, I beam one pi the curiusest voice I
ever heara in all my borned days.’
p. You are on the right track, Bro.
Walker. Go on with the narration.’
\V,__‘l couldn’t tell for the life o'me
whether the voice was up in the air or
down in the sky, it sounded so curious.”
p. ‘Poor creetur 1 how he was diffikilts
ed. Goon to narrate Bro. Walker. How
did it appear to sound uuto you ?’
W. —Why, this way: Waw*Wawkevl
Waw-»Wawfcer ! Go preach ! ah go preach
ah-ee-nh-eo-ah l’
p # ‘Bruthern aud sisters that’s the light
sort of a call. Enough said, Bro. XValker
That’s none of your coledge call3. No
doctor of divinity ever got sich a call as
that.—Brother Walker must have a licenie
for sartin and fur sure.’
The license was granted, as the story
ooes and Walker is now doubtless making
the mountains ring with bis stentorau
lungs.
Pickle for Beef.— For one hundred pounds
of beef take three quarts of salt, half a
a pound of brown sugar, and two ounces
of ground black pepper : mix in water
enough to cover the meat ; let it boil ; take
off the scum ; when cool poor it over the
meat. Salt beef should be all used up by
! the first of May, as it does not keep up
i well in warm weather.
How to Fatten a Poor Horsb. —Many
good horses devour large quantities of
grain and hay, and still continue thin aod
pool*. The food eaten is not properly as»
siruilated. If the usual feed has been nq«*
ground grain aud • hay, nothing but a
change wifi effect atny desirable alteration
ia the appearamse of the animal. In case
oil meal cannot be obtained readily* mingle
a bushel of flaxseed with a bushel 6F bar
rey. one of oats, and another bushel of In*
clian corn, aud let it be ground into lino
meal. This will be a fair proportion for
all his feed. Or, the meal cr barley, oats
and corn, in equal quantities, may first be
procured, and one-fourth part of oil-cake
mingled with it when the meal is sprinkled
on cut feed. Feed two or three quarts o*
the mixture three times daily with a peck
cf cut hay and straw. If the horse will eat
that amount greedily, let the quantity be
gradually increased, until he will cat four
or six quarts at every feeding, three limes
a day. So long as the animal will eat this
%11bwan.ee, the quantity my he increased a
little every day. But avoid the practice of
allowing a horse to stand at a rack well
filled with hay. In order to fatten a horse
that has run down in flesh, the groom
should be very particular to feed the anis
mal no more than he will eat up clean and
lick his manger for more.
Behavior in Company. —Leigh Richmond
gives the following excellent advice to his
daughters : ‘Be cheerful, but uot'gigglcrs.
Re serious, but not dull. j£Be communica
tive, but not forward. Beware of silly,
thoughtless speeches ; although you may
forget them, others will not.
Remember God’s eye is in every
company. Beware of levity, and familiar
ity with young meu ; a modest reserve,
without affectation, ia the only safe path.
Court and encourage conversation with
those who are truly serious and conversii
ble ;do not go into valuable company
without endeavoring to improve by the
intercourse permitted to you. Nothiug is
more unbecoming, when one part of a com
pany ia engaged in profitable conversation,
than that another part should be trifling,
giggling, and talking comparative non»-
sense to each other.’
Watering Plants in Su&StEik-It is not
to begin to water pjants in the garden, un
less it is intended to follow it up thorough
ly. If plants in the open ground are water
ed, they throw out their little roots near the
surface in order to clriuk in the moisture,
aud if afterwards the watering be neglect
ed, these little fibrous roots perish for lack
of moisture, and the plants suffer. When
they are not watered at all, the litte roots
go down deeper in search of moisture, and
in well cultivated soil, in good condition,
they will Usually fiud enough to keep from
suffering, unless the drought continue un
usually long. If it is seen necessary to give
water, it should be copiously, in quantity
sufficient to go down to the bottom of the
roots ; a sprinkling that wets the surface is
worse than none; SyiHnging the leaves to
wash off the dust, if d&ne in the evening
after the sun is down, will improve the aps
pearance and health of plants. — Ex,
Some of our Native Resources.— An Em*
glish produce broker calls attention to the
fact, that leaves of. the Palmetto Ifco done
up in bundles, and without any special pro
paralion, are worth $250 in gold, per torn
for ccnvertiou into fibre. This plant is
abundant in the Southern States, and can
generaly be had for the gathering, arid ship
ments of it are earnestly invited. Sumac
is another article found everywhere in the
United States, and of a quality ten to twen*
ty per cent, better than European Sumac,
which is bringing $125 per ton.
Colic in Man or Horse—Editors Southern
Cultivator— l will give you the simplest
and best remedy for colic in man or horse,

full of flour (wheat flour) in a black bottle,

will generally cure in five or ten minutes
For a man, give a table spoonful of flour in
