THE MUSIC OF THE HEART.

BY W. D. GALLAGHER.
The music OF the Heart is deep
And when once tuned to wild romsncing,
Ia vain you bid the visions sleep
That Ger its trembling wires are dancing
Bright dreams of childhood's yesterday
Are mipgling with the dark TO morrow,
Lending a pale, a transient ray
Ofjoy, TO lightthat page of sorrow.
Affections impulse, and the gush
OF holy and Of fervid feeling,
Upon the wildered senses rush,
Like music from a wind harp stealing
The voices of the CHERISHED dead
The siIentness of Death are breaking,
Aud from Oblivion's geld bed
The widowed hopes of youth are waking.
The music Of the Heart is deep,
Too often breathing notes of sadness,
That W in the wearied eye from sleep.
And turn delirious thought to madness.
1t comes i-'tis strange that it should throw
So much of gloom upon the morrow,
As if that after time Of woe
Had not, itself, enough Of sorrow.
1t comes!- lit contestant sorrowing strain
Rolls heavily and Lethe's waters
Are heaving, like q mighty main
When Sea gods war for Oceans daughters.
1t comes-the voice of other years,
Whose prismy joys have all departed,
To with a child of tears,
And with the sesr'd and we~ary-hearted.

Coon LUcK.-The following, from
the London Sporting Magazine for Au.
gust, furnishes a striking incident Of
good luck
"The late Luke White, the celebra.
ted Irish millionaire, commenced life
as an errand boy to a book stall, and
finished 1t by representing, in his W
person and those of his three sons, four
counties in Parliament. Having sue
ceeded in scraping together as much
as enabled him to purchase a few pam.
phlets, and tritles Of stationary, he tied
a wallet to his back, and set himself
| up as a pedlar. His our performed,
| and his merchandise disposed of, he
turned his steps once more towards
Dublin, to ~replenish his knapsack and
add to his store. When some thirty
miles short Of his destination, he reti-
red to a field adjoining the high road,
to dine off a crust, and wash it down
from the rivulet upon whose banks his
| humble meal had been made. That
over, he renewed his journey, arriving
towards the evening of the following
| day at his destination. The succee-
| ding morning saw him sally forth in
quest of new merchandise, when 10
his bitterly won earnings were gone I!
| The greasy canvass bag, his then
strong box, had vanished, and he was
again a beggar!
Almost in despair, his desperate
search was made in the cellar wherein
he had slept, but 10 vain !; at length
the idea flashed upon him, "could he
have dropped it where, by the river
side, he had dlned and stopped to drink
from the stream 7" Instantly the road
was retraced, and at the end of the
| fifth day, half starved and dead with
travel, the bag and its contents were
found upon the brink Of a public path
within a few yards Of the turnpike
road. After this, il is not surprising
that in a few years we find him in pros
porous business as a bookseller in Dub.
lin. 1t was during the period when
the mania for lottery speculation was
at its height. Like others in his line,
he dealt in tickets, and upon the par
~ticular occasion TO which this alludes,
he had disposed OF all his shares, save
two half tickets. which he was in the
act of enclosing back, as unsold, TO
London, when a young woman entered

That the farmer, by a scientific cul.
tivatlon of his land, can increase 10 a
very great extent, its production, there
does not exist a rational doubt. And
that the time is coming when there will
be actual necessity for this increase of
production, there is every appearance.
1t is, therefore, not only wise and ex.
pedlent to commence and carry it on
now, but 1t is a high duty that is due
to posterIty, in consideration Of all the
blessings which past ages have bequea-
thed US.
Permit US, therefore, in our humble
way to impress upon the minds of the
farmers, the very great usefulness of
education. Give your sons and daugh.
ters not the less education because you

ment for all their science, though their
farms be located in the deep wilderness
of the west, though they be cast amid
barren rocks and sterile sand plains,
science will aid them there.
Not a blade of grass nor a spire Of
grain but will grow better under the
cultivation of a scientific hand. Not q
flower but will show beauties to the
eye of science, which the vulgar world
knows not of. Not a vine but rears

If the habitual business Of the cult.

ercise, we know not where to look for
such a field. The study of agriculture
unites to the theory of science, the ve-
nv essential material of its practical
parts. 1t makes the study experiment.

The main use of science is to explore
the minutiB Of nature, to fathom It's

hidden possessions of the earth into
comprehensive identity. Where, then,
is the occupation that SO richly furnish

as that of agriculture. In the constant
exercises and every day labor of the
farmer the business Of science is pro.

Feeding ANNALS 0 rArTrN1Ne

FEEDING ANIMALS FOR FATTENING.
There are we think few processes
conducted by the farmer with less o
omy or profit to himself than that of
fattenlng animals, and this it seems to
US arises from the neglect of a few plain
principles. In the first place they are
only fed so as to make them grow fine.
ly instead of taking on fat and i n the
second place their food is given to
them unground, or uncooked, neither
OF which conditions ought to exist where
1t is desirable to fatten ANIMALS quickly,
and of course, cheap and we'll. The
experiments of Mr.. Coleman show
clearly the astonishing difference in
favor of cooking corn meal for hogs,
and it is scarcely less conspicuous in
other things. Swine should never have
more at a time than they can eat, but
they should have just as much as they
will eat, and have it fed to them so Of
ten that there shall not be a p%retence
for a single squeal. A good dry bed,
plenty of cooked food, and a little
birthstone or pounded charcoal occa-
sionally thrown into their trough, seem
to be requisite to fatten pork rapidly.
Some farmers feed their apples and
potatoes to their pigs raw we are
confident they would not do this, if
they would once fairly teste the two
methods of feeding, in that state, or
cooked. Sour apples when cooked
are as good for swine as sweet ones ;
but raw, are decidedly inferior, making
the teeth sore, and furnishing too much
acid to the stomach, for the purpose OF
rapid nutrition. 1t is necessary to
have good beef and pork, but they
should not in the making, occasion a
loss to the maker. Care and skill will
| prevent this. GeneSSee Farmer.
