And snow.wreahs embelsh his ear.

For 10 them is his power made known.
Cold Winter is comng-here brealhes not a fowt,
Though sometimes The day may pass fair
The Lutte is removed from The lady's loyn bower
Lest it coldly he touched by the air.
Cold Winner is comiog-aIl sript are The groves,
The passage bird ba-ens away;
10 the lovely blue SOUTH like a tour ist he royes
And returns like The sunshine in Nav,
Cold Winter is coming-he'll breathe on The stream,
And the bane Of pelrifc breath
W W seal up the waters, till, in the moonbeam,
They lie stIrless, as slumber or death.
Cold Winter is coming-and soon shall we see

Framed and glazed too without any cost.

dissolved. Pack your hams in q barrel "
other vessel, and pour yonr pickle on them.
stirring i we'll at the time, that the undis-
solved salt may be all poured to your hams.
BE careful that they be all covered with
the pickle. and kept SO for six weeks; then
take them out and wash or rinse them of
in clean cold water, hang them up and let
them drain for a day or two, then smoke
them with sugar maple or hickory chips or
wood, green from the tree, which makes
the sweetest and purest smoke Of any kind
OF wood AN acquainted with. and makes
Il entirety unnecessary to put sugar and
molasses in the pickle, as used to do.
My method Of smoking is, il in moderate
fall or winter weather, TO make one smoke
in twenty. four hours If in severe winter
weather, two. The object to be aimed at
in regulating the smoke, is. first, to make
as little fire as you can, and make a good
strong smoke-second. to let your hams
get thoroughly cooled through after each
smoke, before another is made. Every
farmer who uses an axe. knows how rapid
y cold frosty axe collects pyroligneous
acid, or essence Of smoke. While hams
are cold, they collect it as rapidly, and as
they become warm il dries into them. II
you increase the heat so as to make them
drip the fat, you Lessen the weight Of your
hams and injure their flavor. With re-.
gard to the credit Of my hams in market,
! will only say that gentlemen in Cleve
land, who have used hams of my curing.
pronounce them equal to any they have
ever seen, and they command the highest
price in market. E. FOOTE.

point at issue, the policy Of our own Gov.

They who would shrink with repugnance

They are anxious for the suppression Of

they will openly and with exultation drain

morals Of the community BY penal enact
