Thou hast left us beautiful footed spring;
Thou has left us months ago;
Whittier hast thou been wandering?
Whittier art wandering now?
In the sunny lip'd south we know,
Thou hast folded the plumes ofthy cleaning wing
To watch the young buds glow
Into life, at thy musical voice, o spring.
Come away, come away, we sigh for thee;
We have sighed the winter long;
We languish to hear gush from glen and from
tree,
The notes of the sweet birds song.
Hid the palm tree leaves among;
Or shrined in the bloom ofthe orange tree flowers,
While zephyrs around thee throng,
Thou art sleeping and singing the live-long hours.
Leave thy bed, plume thy wing, and swiftly HE,
Away to our northern land;
The earth holds flowers in her breast, will die,
Unless by thy wing they're fann'd.
Come with thy breath so bland,
And mellow her bosom and soften the sky;
And out at thy wizard command,
The violet shall peep with her beautiful eye.
And the earth shall put on her most beautiful
sheen,
Like a bride when her love draws nigh
The trees shall again don their nantes of green,
As thy zephyr passing by:
And flowers of every dye,
Shall open their petals to welcome thee in;
And a softer tint the sky
Shall put on where thy magic hath been.
Come by our love of thee, come sweet spring,
Thou art our best loved one
Summer her beauties around may fling,
But heed them not; no, none.
Autumn so sere and dun
We love her not, she S a fading thing:
And hooking in the sun,
Flashes the seeming gems that winter brings.
But come thou our earliest loved, dearest;
Virgin spring, rosy hp'd hours;
Come, with the treasures thou dearest,
To gladden. these hearts of ours.
Sweet are thy various powers,
And bright are the garments thou wearest.
Winter upon us lowr's:-
We languish till thou in thy glory appearest;
Come sweet spring.

Taken at his word.-' | say, stranger,
il rains said merchant the other day
to a square built down easter who was
quietly passing his store; "you had bet
ter step in and buy an umbrela-I'Il sell
you one at half price," Without word
Of reply, the Yankee walked in, selected
one of very superior silk, and enquired the
price. "Five dollars, sir, we sell them at
have never sold them for less" was the
polite response Of the merchant, who, in
his eagerness for trade. had already for
gotten his conditions of sale. Jonathan,
coolIy laying down two dollars and half,
took the umbrella and walked off. leaving
the merchant to calculate his profits upon
the sale OF his goods at half price.

Cultivation ofthe potato. the dis
cussion upon this subject at the meeting
at the State House IN Boston, we CLEAN the
following opinions: That round-oblong po-
tatoes do best in wet soils, and the egg
shaped and kidney shaped in dry soils: that
by experiments ii was found the planting
of fine large potatoes improved the stock,
and vice versa; that wited potatoes come
up quickest and are best for an earlv crop:
than free circulation Of air by having
sod or stones in the hills, is important to
large growth; and that therefore they
should not be planted deep: opinions va
ried as to putting manure at the top or bot
tom of the hill: that spoonful Of lime IN a
hill will keep the worms out: that as the
best potato yields least, it is best to cult
vate those kinds for stock which are coarse /;
and of these the. farmers from some sec
tons preferred the Rohans and Meri,.os,
and others preferred the La Plata or Red.
(This is probably the potato called with us
the Stock potato or Illinois Blues. We shall
designate them by the latter name.

Stump observation-disclosures a dry red
elm lever, about twenty feet long, and SIX
or eight inches in diameter; good stout
log chain, with two yokes of oxen, and
that is all the machinery requisite. Tho
mode Of operation is this: Wrap the-log
chain around the stump, little above the
ground, and make what is called log
hitch; hen lay the lever horizontally on the
ground, the large end next 10 the chain
and against the stump. Now make the
other end Of the chain fast to this end of
the lever, drawing the lever tight to the
stump. and hitch the cattle to the small end
ofthe lever, driving them around the stuup
in a circle. Of which the lever is the radius,
and one revolution Of the oxen around the
stump will generally twist out the largest
Of them. But should not the power applied
be sufficient, the side roots the stump may
be uncovered, and cut partly off; and this
done, the stump will be easily removed.

CEMENT FOR FLooRs-The manner Of
making earthen floors for country houses
is as follows: Take two-thrds lime, and
one Of coal ashes, well sifted, with small
quantity of loan clay; mix the whole TO-
gether, temper it we'll with water, and
make it up into heap, letting il lie week
or ten days, and then temper ii over again.
After this, let it be for three or four days
longer; and temper again. until it becomes
smooth, yielding, tough and gluey. The
floor being then Ieveled, lay the plaster
about two and half or three inches thick,
making it smooth with trowe. The hot

Remedy for Film in the Eye of a beast.
A correspondent Of the Yankee Farmer,
suggests wha, he considers new remedy
for film produced by blow or other ac-
cidenaI causes Of similar nature, i. e. spit
ting tobacco Juice into the eye Of the ami
mai. He remarks that he has seen it tried
only twice, and each time with entire sue
cess; and with very sensible caution con-
cludes, by saying 4" the remedy requires TO
be more fully established" We can as
sure our cautious friend, that the remedy
has been fully established down South for
years. The memories Of our oldest tobac-
CO chewers, reach not the antiquity Of its
discovery. We have often seen tobacco
juice spit in a horses eye when weeping
or looking weak, and entire relief afforded.

Raise Everything. Every farmer should
make it rule to purchase nothing that he
can raise or make on his farm. There can
lie no higher evidence of an Improbable
farmer, than 10 see him purchasing his
pork, his beef, his horses, his corn, or his
-four He should be ashamed to have it
said that he is purchaser of any Of those
articles. If he thinks il cheaper 10 pur-
chase than to raise, it is only additional ev-
idence of his folly. If we looh through
the district for our best farmers, we shall
find them selling instead of purchasing
those articles. Am. Far.

GREAT VALUE OF INDIAN CoRN.-l be-
lleve II IS generally admitted that there is
nc grain grown in the United States Of
more value as 10 lis general usefulness for
both man and beast, than the Indian corn;
and yet with what contempt it is treated by
many when II is occasionally placed on our
tables in the form of bread How many
have fallen in with in my travels among
northern people, particularly those who are
unaccustomed 10 the mode Of living in the
middle and Southern states, who exciaim
against corn bread or its usefulness any
farther than for stock. | think the cause
of dislike is more from the want of knowl-
edge how to prepare it for the table, than
any thing else.
Pain Corn Bread.-Six pints meal,
one table spoonful salt, four pnts water,
thoroughly mixed with the hand and baked
IN oblong rolls about two inches thick, use
as much dough for each roll as can be con-
veniently shaped in the hand. Many per-
sons use hot water. In winter it is cer-
tainly best. The bread is better to be made
half an hour or more before i, is baked,
the oven must be tolerablv hot when the
dough is put in. All kinds of corn bread
require hotter oven and to be baked quick
er than flour.
Light Corn Bread Stir four pints meal
into three pints tepid water; add one large
tea-spooniul salt; let il rise five or six
hours, then stir up with the hand and bake
in brisk oven.
Another method is to make mush; and
before it grows cold, stir it in a half pint
of meal Let it rise and bake as the first.
Corn Mullins. Made in the same way
as corn cakes. Grease hoops and hea, the
copper slightly before putting in either corn
cakes or mullins. A better muffin is made
meal.
The above receipts comprise only few
oil the many ways there are in use for pre-
pairing corn meal as healthy and paata-
bic dish for our tables. Economy should
be the order of the day; not only with the
farmers, but with all who wish prosperity
in this present life.
1t is not to be expected that our wives
ard daughters can add much TO our wealth
IN the way OF outdoor business. | think
they should be wholly exempted from any
care beyond the garden. Let then, wives
and daughters look to make their husbands
and fathers comfortable, as he comes in
from his daily labor, with clean house,
table all spread, some warm corn cakes.
| boiled ham, &c. &c. Much better FOR the
husband than to be addressed "you must
get your own supper or dinner, for have
done enough for one day; and the girls are
as tired as | am" HENRY ANDREWS.
