BosToN, Sept. 1910.
In traversing the counties of Essex, Suf-
folk, and Norfolk, on the east coast of Eng
land, | have been struck with the similarity
in the names OF the towns and those in Eas-
tern Massachusetts, strong Indication that
that goodly New England State was settled
by emIgrants from this part of old England
could not feel like a foreigner in Ipswich,
Chelmsford, Maiden, Braintree, Waltham,
Linn, Attleboro, bingham, Yarmouth, Sud-
bury, Haverhill, Stow, Marlboro, or Need
ham, and am quite at home here in Boston.
Identity Of Language strengthens the delusion.
But, the charm is easily broken. This is not
the Boston. Nor are these plains, extending
for scores Of miles, with scarce an elevation
to rest the eye upon--these prime hedgerows
these tlle-roofed villages, whose Church
bells have tolled the knel ofcenturies-these
vilely clad women and children cleaning the
harvest fields to gather the straws which the
hand of parsimony has dropped-these dom
key-carts creeping to market with the labor
ing mans pittance-these naughty liyeres,
lavish of power and pomp-these, these are
not the England. Who would EXCHANGE
them for the free air, the free soil, the free
lands of that
Land of the forest and the rock.
OF dark blue lake and mighty river,
Of mountains reared aloft to mock,
The storms career, the lightnino's shock
My OWN GREEN LAND FOREVER.
Though the zlg-zag route we followed
from Ipswich to Boston, furnished many OBJ
jects ofinterest, j will barely allude to two or
three ofthem. There was Bury-St- Edmunds
with his great Abbey built by William the
Conquerer, now pile Of ruins covering many
acres. An extensive botanical garden, firing
ed and interviewer with every variety of
plants and flowers, occupies what was once
the interior quadrangle of the Abbey. Two
oil the main gateways, in good preservation,
impress the beholder with all that is chaste
and majestic in the combination of Norman
with Saxon architecture. Some handsome
dwelling houses have recently been inserted
IN the old walls, and their gay modern win
dows, green doors, and red roofs mpgIing
with the hoary antiquity of the Abbey, give
1t romantic and unique appearance.
we slipped in Cambridge long enough to
admire one OF the choicest specimens Of Go
tho work In England, the Chapel of Kings
College ; and to catch glimpse at the flow

USEFUL REcErPT.-1 send you below,
Messr,. Editors, a recipe for making com
position which will render wood entirely in
combustlble 1t is very simply prepared, and
quite easy of application, being used the same
as paint with an ordinary brush. A GOOD
coat of it applied to the floor under stoves
would be an excellent precaution
Take quantity of water, proportioncd to
the surface of wood you may wish to cover,
and add to it as much potash as can be dis
solved therein. When the water will dis
solve no more potash, stir into the solution,
LIST, q quantity of flour paste of the conssten-
cy OF common painters size; I'd. a sufficient
quantity of pure clay to render it of the con-
sistence of cream.
When the clay is well mixed, apply the
preparation as before directed to the wood it
will secure it from the action of both fire and
rain. In Il most violent fire, wood thus sat
urated may be carbonated, but it will never
[ blaze.
If desirable, a more agreeable color can be
given to the preparation by adding small
quantity Of red or yellow ochre.
| It might also be useful for you to mention
in your paper, especially at this season Of
| high winds, that handful OF two of sulphur
thrown on to the fire when chimney Is bur
ming out, will almos: instantaneousIy cxtin

TO MANAGE A REARING HORSE

In preference to the dangerous experiment
of pulling a rearing horse back ward, re-
commend the adoption Of the following meth
cd -
Whenever you perceive the horses incl-
nation to rear, separate your reins and pre-
pare for him; the instant he is about to rise,
slacken one hand and bend or twist his head
with the other, keeping your hands low. The
bending compels him to move a hind leg, and
of necessity brings his forefeet down. In
stantly twist him completely around two or
three times, which will confuse him very
much, and completely throw him off his
guard. The moment you have finished twis-
ting him round, place his head in the direc-
ton you wish him to proceed, apply the
spur sharply, and lie will not fail to 60 for
ward. If the situation be convenient, press
him into galloP, and apply the spur or whip
two or three times severely. The horse per-
haps will not be quite satisfied with the first
defeat, but may be disposed to try again for
the mastery. Should this be the case, you
have only to twist, &c. as before, and you will
find in the second struggle he will be more
easily subdued than on the first occasion-in
fact, you will perceive him quail under the
operation. 1t rarely happens that a rearing
horse, after having been treated in the way
prescribed will resort to his tricks third
time. But OIL going into other hands, and
having another rider, he will be very likely to
have recourse TO rcarng.--.7Hcr. Fdrmer.

1.-THE tradition concerning :his distinguish
I'd lady adds, that it was on account of hel
excellence in music that she was visited by
the angel; that he was drawn down from his
celestial abode by the sweetness of her melo-
iy and that the transcendency of her vocal
and instrumental powers caused her TO be
styled the Pafroness Of Music and Musicians
Legend Of 81. Ceciha.l
She sat beside her Tyre, which slept
AS if its melody were dead;
The zephyrs linger'd round, or crept
Fondly among its chords, and shed
Their dewy tears upon them, while
The listening stars did wink and smile
Upon the waters sunk to rest
With heav'n's fair likeness on her breast.
Her hand was resting on the string,
To catch some wind-harp's infant note,
Fen the stars whisper'd not--but glist'ning
In the blue ocean where they float,
Kiss'd the dew'd leaf-the Silly sea-
And hush'd their trembling melody,
For there was music yet TO rise,
Sweeter than natures minstrelsies.
She touch'd the speaking Tyre like one
Whose soul hung on her finger tips
And music came-cach melting tone
Was like notes breathed from seraph lips.
Softer than dewfall on the sea,
Arose the pensive melody
1t soar'd to heav' n-and never were
More blissful notes wing'd through the air.
What form is that, which rob'd in light,
Comes from the realms ofstars? Its wings
Shed diamonds on the sea, and night
Shrinlls from the siivery flame it brings.
Swift through the purple air it bounds,
Lured by the Tyres electric sounds;
A spirit of celestial birth,
At music's spell brought down to earth.
Lingering in rapture DER the Tyre,
Like gay hum5ird, drawing sweets
From honey suckles,) while each wire
Speaks to the hand it trembling meets.
Child of the skies! why dost thou come
Thus brightly from thy heavenly home
Is there not in yon starry girth,
At Tyre more rich than one Of earth!
The angel knelt-for every strain
Call'd to devotion; and a choir
Ofseraphims replied again
To the rich music of the Tyre.
Oh! there are spells which bind the heart,
But none like music can impart,
Such soft delight-for from the skies
1t drew its melting witcheries

A COMPARISON OF THE DIFFER
ENT BREEDS OF SHEEP.

In the Western States, where land is, OF
course, not so valuable as in the East, the
Blackwell breed of sheep, although OF more
tender constitution than the Southdown and
Cotswold, and of coarser and smaller fleece,
may be advantageously kept for their wool,
Notwithstanding its quality is rather coarse !;
il appears, however, from all the information
on this subject, (the comparative value OF the
breeds of sheep,) that the Southdown and
Cotswold, are much harder, better nurses OF
their lambs, and require less attention through
our winter, and will live on shorter pasture
in summer. The Merno and Saxon Sheep,
have often too much the same objection as the
BLACKWELL; they are of rather weakly constl-
tutions, and not very good in rearing their
lambs. Some Of the Southdown wool is pref
ty fine and makes good cloth; the mutton Is,
perhaps, superior to all other kinds, Except
ing some of the small Welsh breeds,) their
constitutions are very vigorous and strong,
and they will make living in any situation.
The Cotswold are equally hardy, but want
richer keep than the SouthdOwn, their fleeces
weigh heavy, and their quarters have been
known to reach so pounds in England
Some of the Southdown and Cotswold lambs
have weighed, at six months old, 60 pounds,
and when full grown $40 pounds. ltseems,
amongst many other 'shard cases. in agricul-
tural efforts for improvement among farmers,
very difficult to convince people of the benefit
they derive from having good stock. They
complain too much of the first cost, without
considering that in two or three years there
IS fair prospect of not only seeing their
money back again, but probably ten times as
much more. We do not wish to advise far
mere to 60 beyond their means on much un-
certainty, but We do say, that twenty dollars
laid out for the best breed of pigs, and fifty
to one hundred towards improving their cat
tie, will, with proper management and at
tention to the sale of their produce, pay a
handsome profit at the end Of few years,
beside supplying superior articles at.cheaper
keep ION account of the fattcning properties
of the best Breeds for domestic use, and en-
joyment ofboth sight and taste. We subjoin,
in the first place, comparative statement of
the value of the different breeds of sheep.
