SOAKING CORN For HORSES

a gentleman who resides in Baltimore
county, and who is one of the most success
tul farmers in that vicinity, informed US a
few days since, that he saves at least one
third of bis corn by the manner in which he
fed it out to his horses. His plan is this:-
He has two hogsheads placed in his cellar.
where they are secure from freezing. These
he hrst fills with corn in the ear, then pours
in sufficient quantity of water to cover tho
corn. After the ears have been thoroughly
soaked, he commences feeding, giving to
bis horses but tico-ihird8 the usual quantity
allowed. As one Of these hogsheads be-
comes empty, he reflls ii; and by the time
the other is empty, the one last filed is suf-
iciently soaked for use. In this wav the
cobs become so so(lened that the horses con-
sumo the whole Of them, and they are thus
made to add folly one third more 10 his stock
Of feed. He assures Us, that his horses eat
The cobs with avidity, keep in order, and are
Just as competent to perform plantation la
Dor as when they consumed the grain alone.
The success of our informant should stirnu-
late his agricultural brethren to follow his
example, as the labor of preparation is moth
ing compared with the great saving effect

WEEPING

lNttilI NOltlCl uiC llli u ltdISs iltF
will weep as bitterly for the loss of new
dress as the loss Of an old lover. They
will weep for any thing or for nothing -
They will scold you to death for accidental
y tearing a now gown, and weep tor spite
that they cannot be revenged on you.--
They will play coquette in your presence,
and weep when you arc absent. They will
weep because they cannot go to a ball or
tea party, or because their parents will not
permit them TO run away with a black
guard; and they will weep because they
cannot have every thing their own way.
Married women weep to conquer
| Tears are the most potent arms of malrimu-
NAL warfare. If gruff husband has abus-
ed his wife, she weeps and he Tepents and
promises better behaviour. How many
men have gone TO bed in wrath. and risen
in the morning subdued with tears and a
certain lecture! Women weep to get their
husbands secrets, and they also weep when
their own secrets have been revealed
They weep through pride, through vanity,
through folly, through cunning, and through
weakness. They will weap for a hug-
bands misfortune, while they scold him.
A woman weeps over the dead body Of her
husband, while her vanity viii ask her
neighbor how she is fitted with her mourn
ings. The "widow of Ephesus believed
the grave Other spouse with one eye, while
she squnted love to young soldier with
the other"
Dgunbards are much given 10 weeping.
They will she'd tears Of bitter repentance
this moment, and sin the next. Il is not
uncommon to hear them cuTsing the effects
of intemperanco, while they are poisoning
the cup Of Indulgence, and gasping toI
'gulph down its contents.
The bcgyar and the tragcdian weep for
a livelihood; they can coin tears and make
them pass for the current money of the
realm. The one woeps you into a charita
bic humor, and the other makes you forced
to weep along with him. Sympathy bids
US believe the one, and curiosity prompts
us to support the other. We relieve the
beggar when he prefers his claim, and we
pay the tragcdian beforehand. The one
weeps whether he viii or not, but the 9th
er weeps only when he is we'll paid it.
Poets are a weeping tribe. They are
social in their tears; they would have a
whole world TO weep along with thsm.--
Their sensibility is so exquisite, and their
imagination SO fantastic, that they make
even the material world to sympathise with
their sorrows.
The dew on the check ofthe lilly is com
pared TO tears on the check ola disconsoIate
maiden: when it gliters on the heritage of
twilight, it is called the tears of the eve
ming, and when The sun rises and exhales
the dew-drOps from the flowers, il is said to
wipe away the tears of the morning. Thus
we have a weeping day, and weeping

THE LOST AT SEA.

BY J. o. ROCKWELL.
Wife, who in thy deep devotion
Puttest up prayer for one
Sailing on the stormy ocean,-
Hope no more-his course is done.
Dream not, when upon thy pillow,
That he slumbersby thy side,
For his corse, beneath the billow,
Heaveth with the restless tide.
Children, who, as sweet flowers growing,
Laugh amid the sorrowing rains
Know We not that clouds are throwing
Shadows on your sire's remains!
Where the hoarse gray surge is rolling,
With mountains motion on,
Dream We that its voice is tolling
For your father, lost and gone!
When the sun looked on the water,
AS hero on his grave
Tinging with the hue of slaughter
Every blue and leaping wave
Under the majestic ocean
Where the giant currents rolled,
Slept thy sire, without emotion,
sweetIy by beam of gold.
And the violet sunbenms slanted,
Wavering through the crystal deep,
Till their wonted splendors haunted
Those shut eyelids in their sleep;
Sands, like crumbled silver cleaning,
Sparkled in his raven hair
But the deep that knowsn no dreaming,
Bound him in its silence there!
So we left him; and to tell thee
Ofour sorrow and thine own,-
OF the woe that there befel thee,
Come we weary and alone.
Children, whose meek eyes, inquiring,
Linger on your mothers face,
Know We that she is expiring
That ye are an orphan racel
God be with you on the morrow
Father, mother, both no more!
One within a grave Of sorrow,
One upon the oceans floor!
