MISCELLANEOUS.
FRANKNESS.

Alice Ray was one of those beings whose
communications are an index to her heart
whose conversation faithfully mirrorred
in her inmost soul. She uttered hundred
things that you would conceal, and spoke
20 them with that dignifed assurance that
you had ever hesitated to say them your self.
Nor did this unreservedness appear like the
one who could not conceal, or determina-
to make war on the ferns of society. 1t
was rather calm, well guarded integrity,
regulated by just sense of propriety-
knowing when to be silent, but speaking
the truth when she spoke at all.
But you may just visit Miss Alice for
half an hour tonight and judge for your
selves. You may walk into thatlittle par
lor. There is Miss Alice on that sofa, sew
ing pair of lace sleeves into satin dress
in which peculiar angelic employment
she. may persevere until we have finished
another sketch.
So you see that pretty little lady, with
sparkling eyes, elastic form, and beautiful
hand and foot that is sitting opposite to her?
She is belle: the character is written in
her FACET dimples in her smiles, and per-
vades the whole woman.
But there-Alice has arisen, and has
gone to the mirror and is arranging the fin
est auburn hair in the world, in the most
tasteful manner. The little lady watches
every motion as comically as kitten would
watch rin-ball.
1T is really in vain to deny it Alice, you
are really anxious to look pretty this eve
ning, said she.
4 certainly am said Alice, quietly.
'Ay, and you hope you shall please Mr..

ted her fingers in beautiful curl.

There is one question, Alice, which l

that Alice's friend James wanted to be en-
lightened about.

She wept beneath his cross, when all beside
Forsook him--when a trembling seized the earth.
When terror shook the nations far and wide.
And from their graves the buried dead came forth.
She wept beneath his cross when fear was rife.
Like flowers that bowed but broke not with the strife
She followed to his tomb, and saw him laid,
Even as mortal, in the darkening dust;
With streaming eyes his resting place surveyed
but never failed moment in her trust
That he would burst bis bonds again and rise,
Amidst rejoicing angels, to the skies.
She stood beside his grave, ere the first light
Ofmoming shone upon the dew-charged flowers
The seal was gone, the guard was put to fight,
And Death, the tyrant that the earth devours
o'ercome-her Saviour could his sting destrov-
And now she wept---aye, wept again for Joy.
Oh, woman ! ever thus forsake Him not,
And He shall not forsake theel-He shall be
Thy constant friend, .wHsteve be thy lot,
And in thy parting hour the stay for thee:
Thy faith shall strengthen-from despair shall save
And at thy rising, call thee from thy grave.

rejected by the former" Pastures should
never be overstocked as there should al
ways be sufficient, quantity of food for
the animals. 1t is also desirable that the
large and strong cattle be separated from the
weaker ones, as it frequently happens that
where they are indiscriminately mingled
together, the more powerful beasts will
master the others, driving them FROM place
to place. and trampling upon and destroy
ing more food than they can eat
To prevent these inconveniences, and all
SO to stock the land to the, greatest advant-
age the Complete Grazier recommends the
following method of feeding and fattening
cattle. "Suppose there are four Enclosures
one ought to be kept perfectly free from
stock till the grass is in It's full growth,
when the prime or fattening cattle should
be put into it, that they may get the best
food-the second best should then follow,
and the young after all, making the whole
feed over the four Enclosures in the follow
ing succession.:-
/. Free from stock, till ready for the
best cattle.
IL. For the reception of the best cattle,
till sent to No. /.
Ill. For the second best cattle till sent
to No.2.
w. For the young cattle, till sent 10
No. 8.
Thus the fourth inclosure is kept free
from stock till the grass is got up, and it is
ready for the prime cattle. TO which we
will add that the Enclosures should be final
ly gone over by sheep, by which they will
be eaten down to close and even sward,
to the great benefit of the after growth.
In the management of land kept In pas
ture, no manuring is required to maintain
its fertility, which will be increased and
not diminished by the effects of pasturing.
Any species ofmanure, however, will add
to the productlveness of land in grass, and
when from any peculiar cause, it is thought
expedie mt TO manure use usually lime, or
coniposts of earth and, lime, mari, &c.
These should invariably be applied as top
dressing, that is, simply spread upon the
surface, where vegetation has become inert
at the fall of the year or before it has be-
come vigorous in the spring.
The above remarks are gathered mainly
from agricultural writers ofdeservedly high
reputation, and you will oblige one deeply
interested in the prosperity of agriculture,
by inserting them in the Cabinet

"HAIL COLUMBIA"

Judge HopkinSOn-We present our
readers with an American anecdote, from
the pen of valued correspondent, respect
ing the composition of "Hail Columbia"
by Judge Hopkinson. which will be new
to most of our subscribers. @,N
Mr.. Editor-though you are aware that
the Hon. Judge Hopkinson is the author of
Hail Columbia, you may not know the cir
cumstances under which it was written.
have heard the history of the song more
than once, and itmay find place ofrecord
in some corner of your Journal, and be Sc.
cured from oblivion. :.
In the year 1898 when patriotic feelings
pervaded the coutry and when there were
several parties in the field, Mr.. Fox, a
young player, who was more admired for
his vocal than historical powers called one
morning upon his friend Mr.. II. and after
stating the following evening had been ap-
pointed for his benefit, and expressing
great fear for the result, a single box had
been taken begged his friend to do some
thing in his behalf. ,,U. at.
"lf," said Fox, "you will write me some
patriotic vSrses to the tune of the Presidents
March, feel sure OF full house. Seve-
raj of the people about the theatre have at
tempted it; but they have come to the con-
cluslon that it cannot be done, yet | think
you may succeed. Mr., II. consented to
make trial, and requested Fox to call in
the evening to,Judge of the result.
Mr. Hopkirron retired TO his study, and
in short time wrote the first verse and
chorus which were submitted, to Mrs., Hop
kinson, who sung them to pianno accom-
paniment, and proved the measure and mu-
sic to be compatible and in keeping. In
this way the second and other verses were
written and when Fox returned in the eve
ming, he received with delight the song as
it now stands. The following morning,
small handbills and placards announced
that Mr. Fox would sing a new patriotic
song, &c. "a, !. -a,
The theatre was crowded the song was
sung and received with rapture it was re-
Peated eight times and again encored, and
when sung last the whole audience stood up
and Joined in the chorus. Night after night
Hail Columbia cheered the visiters of the
THEATRE and in a few days it was the uni
yersal song Of the boys in the streets from
one end Of the city to the other. Nor wa
the distinguished author of this truly, ma.
tional song--a song which met the entire
appreciation of all parties of the, day-for-
gotten. The street in which he resided
was on the occasion crowded, and Hail Co
lumbia broke on the stiffness of midnight
from five hundred patriotic voices
