If horses have not grain through,lhe winter, they
should have il at least in the fore part Of winter
for the coming of winter is the most trying sea
son for them. If they be fed with Indian corn, it
should be well soaked and sweled.
Neat cattle should not have so much hay laid

The hay they have breathed on much, they will not
eat up clean unless they are very hungry. 1t is
best, therefore, to fodder them twice at night, ant

luxuriantly.
We have been likewise informed by the same

Spanish Hymn, from SoIa's Spanish Melodies.

anish Hymn, from SoIa's Spanish Melodies
Far, far DER hill and dell,
On the winds stealing,
List to the convent bell,
Mournfully pealing.
Halk bark it seems to say,
&C AS melt those sounds away,
I" So ife's best hopes decay
"Whilst new their feeling"
Now through the charmed air,
Slowly ascending,
List TO the chaunted prayer
Soemnly blending.
Hark bark it seems to say,
turn from such joys away,
aTo those which ne'er decay,
Though life is ending"
Der the fallen warriors tomb
Holy monks are bending,
From the solemn cloister's gloom
Hear the dirge ascending.
Hank bark it seems 10 say,
I" How vain is giory's way,
"Liie's Joy and empires sway
In the dark grave ending"
So, when our mortal ties
Death shall dssever,
Lord. may we reach the skies,
Where cares come never;
And in eternal day,
Joining the angels lay,
TO our Creator pay
Homage Tor ever.
