POETRY.
WOInan'S Heart.

Say, what is woman's hearti A thing
Where all the deepest feelings spring
A harp whose tender chords reply
Unto the touch Of harmony
A world whose fairy scenes are fraught
With all the colored dreams of thought
A bark still that will blindly move
Upon the treacherous seas of love.
What is its lovel A careless stream
A changeless star--an endless dream
A smiling flower that will not die
"A beauty and mystery"
Its storms are light as April showers;
Its joys as bright as April flowers;
In hopes as sweet as summer air,
And dark as winter its despair.
What are its hopes! Rainbows that throw
A radiant light where'er they go,
Smiling when Heaven is overcast,
Yet melting into storms at last.
Bright cheats that come with syren words,
Beguining it like summers birds.
That stay while Nature round them blooms,
But flee away when winter comes.
What is its hatel A passing frown--
A single weed mid blossoms sown,
That cannot flourish there for long
A harsh note in ali angels song
A summer cloud, that all the while,
Is lighted by sunbeam's smile;
A passion that scarce hath part
Amidst the gems of woman's heart.
And what is its despairl A deep
Fever that leaves no tears to weep
A woe thai works with silent power,
As canker worms destroy flower
A viper that shows not it wakes,
Until the heart ii preys on breaks
A mist that robs the star of light,
And wraps it up in darkest night.
Then what is woman's heart! A thing
Where all the deepest feelings spring
A harp whose tender chords reply
Unto the touch of harmony
A world where fairy scenes are fraught
With all the colored dreams of thought
A bark that still will blindly move
Upon the treacherous sea of love.

Corn CObs.

We have frequently told you not to let these
90 to waste, and we repeat it here that there Is
as much nutrition in bushel Of cObs as saerA
is in TWO ffihs of a bushel Of shelled corn.
This is not guess work, but the result Of actual
common sense trials, SO conducted as 10 reduce
the thing to a certainty. Why then, we ask,
should they nos be husbanded, as among the a
yailable feeding resources Of farmer? Why
should not every farmer rather provide himself
with crusher and thus enable himself 10
use them in the most profitable way Those,
however, who have no crusher, may have them
broken in the hominy mortar. Thus managed,
if soaked in boiling waller, steamed, or boiled,
they will be brought 10 condition easy Of d.
geslion by cattle, and if fed in this way To
mich cows, will be far more valuable, measure
for measure, than the best hay, no matter what
the kind may be.

Cattle Of all kinds should be sheltered If
possible, of night, and receive generous al
iowances of fodder Of some kind, as neither
the pastures nor woods afford, at this period,
sufficient quantity of food to prevent the cattle
from falling off in flesh, thing which should
be obyiated, as it is highly important TO COM
mence the winter with them in good condition
and vigorous health. Cattle thrive best in cold
weather in good dry warm lodgings, where they
may bid defiance at least TO the rain and snow.
We don't say that close stable is indisPensa-
bK 10 their health and comfort, but do affirm
that good shed, facing the south, with tight
roof. defended from the north and west, tends
greatly TO promote not only their comfort and
health, but enable them to live upon less food,
See to their being sailed twice a week.

To Gentlemen.

1t chills my blood to hear the blest Supreme
Rudely appealed tom each trifing theme!
Maintain your rank, vulgarity despise, 80
To swear is neither brave, polite nor wise;
You would not swear upon bed of death;
Reflect, your Maker nOW may stop your breath.

New and Useful Invention.

Among the interesting improvements exhibited
at the Fair of the American Institute, in York,
is a telegraph for conveying information from the
chambers of hotels to the office or bar Its con-
struction and operation are extremely simple. Its
action is always certain and accurate. by means
of this invention the occupant of any room in
hotel in which this system is used, can convey in
formation of his wants TO the pelson in the office
in as short a time as he could ring a common bell,
and can keep the barkeeper constantly informed
whether he is IN or out, The inventor is Samuel
Frew, Esq of Allegheny county, Pa,

See hat the hogs you may have up faienlng

HaffltS EareWeEA DAscOGfSe.
The following are the closing paragraphs OF
a sermon by the Rev. Mr.. Maffit, one of the |
chapIains to Congress, delivered on the eve OF
adjournment II is very fair specimen of that
peculiar style of the pulp oraiory of Mr.. Maffit
Honorable Gentlemen Your district homes
await you There bloom the perennial honey
suckles of love and affectionae friendship,
seeming all the air of your distant dwellings
with fragrance.-H Hundreds of bright eyes look
ou, for your coming. Love whispers, "come
away--come home"
Alas alas all who came here at the
opening Of the session, cannot return again TO
their homes Soulhard, and Dixon, and Hast
ings, and Williams, and Lawrence, and Dim
ock. cannot return to their homes, and the low
ed greetings of affeclionate friendship! All,
no The clods of The vale press too heavily up
on their bosoms--lhey cannot go home nOw!-
You need not wait for them You need not
call their names on your roll they are absent,
and will not hear you. You need not shout
10 them that the session is closing Alas for
that dull, cold ear death! You need not wave
your hand to them, as the signal of return
They are beyond that bourne from. whence
no traveller returns ~
Go without them TO your fair homes, away
where sun rise first tips the Eastern Mountains
amidst The cloud-capt White Hills OF ever
lasting granite or the Green Mountains whose
yerdure has named Stately the sllvery
! lakes or the old sounding board OF ocean, the
rock bound New England shore-by the slum-
berous savannas of the fower-scented South,
or the prairies of the Wesl-by the mighty
wave of the Mississippi, andi hundred tribu-
taries, flowing into the golden bowl OF the
West Indies, the Gulf of Mexico. Go all 10
your homes your sweet homes
Thi,her cannot follow you with exhorta-
lions of religion--nor need nor would as
sumo 10 be moral or sectarian dictator TO such
a congrepated mass of mind, OF worth, of ge-
MUS. and experience--yel, in the Spirit Of the
Religion profess, may mplore on you those
blessings, of Christian dispositions, renewed
hearts and moral graces, that shall make your
whole lives ray of sunshine flushing down
from The central orb of lntellect--Purlty---
Love and Truth
May blessed, dying Saviour, embalm you
in the rich streams which he freely poured out
for dying sinners
Light spring the flowers Of life beneath your
footstepsl Green be the bowers OF your IN
nocent pleasures soft the last pillow, on
which you will lie down 10 meet resurrection
morning.
To that mighty Congress, gathered from all
nations, tongues and languages under Heaven,
the great assembly Of the first born in Heav.
en-" would take your cOgnizances, and bind
you over 10 appear
There let me meet you all: and may no
shade of ministerial unfaiihlulness there dim
my brow and may no pallor of duty neglect
ed, and opportunity lost, fall upon yours
