Probably few ladies' who wear and admire the
beautiful fabric called Alpaca, are aware Of the
source of IFS production. The Alpaca is a wool
bearing animal, Indigenous 10 South America,
and is one of four varieties which bear general
points of resemblance TO each other. The La
one of these varieties, has been long known
and often dercribed; but it is only within a few
years that the Alpaca has been considered of sui
hcient importance to merit particular notice.
Nine-tenths of the wool of the Alpaca is black,
the remainder being perfectly white, red and
.grizzied. 1t is ola very long staple, often reach
ing twelve inches, and resembles soft glossy hair
which character is not lost in dyeing. The
Indians in the South American mountains, man
%ufacture all their clothing from this wool, and
are enabled to appear in black dresses, without
the aid of a dyer. Both the Lama and Alpaca
are, perhaps, even of more value 10 the natives
as beasts of burden than wool-bearing animals,
and their obstinacy when irritated is we'll known.
The Importance of this animal has already been
considered by the English, in then hat, woollen
and stuff trade, and an essay on the subject has
been published by DIR. Hamilton, of London, from
which some of these details are collected.
The wool is so remarkable, being a Jet black,
glossy, slk-like hair, that il is fitted for the pro-
.duction oftexibie fabrics differing from all others,
occupying a medium position between wool and
silk.
1t is now mingled with other materials in such
a singular manner, that while a particular dye
will affect those it will leave the Alpaca wool
with its original black color, and thus giving rise
to great dlVersity.--Iris.

NOT to be Scared.

An interesting little boy, about three years
old, had acquired the habit Of straying about
the city whenever he could escape the
surveillance of his family, and his absence often
caused his "~anxious m%other,' a good deal of so
litude and alarm. One day he had been seen
to wander in the direction of the wharves,
in the lower part of the city, and his father fol-
loving in the search of the little fellow, found
him sitting on the edge of the wharf, with his
legs hanging over the water, and apparently in
calm contemplation of the beautiful scene before
him. The father thinking it a good opportunity
to cure him Of his erratic propensity, crept eau
tiously up behind him, and pushed him headlong
into the cooling brine-'mmediately jumping in
himself 10 the rescue. No sooner was the little
fellow safely landed on the wharf, then, shaking
himself with delight, he exclaimed, "Oh, do that

ASSOCIATION.

The spread of the doctrines of Fourier in the
United States is a striking proof of the sagacity
of their author, who predicted that this country
would be the ultimate field of their triumph.
Whether they are to or ought 10 triumph" we
are not to discuss at present. The fact, howev-
CT, that their disciples are rapidly increasing,
and already embrace some of the strongest
minds and leading spirits of the country, can
not be doubted.--A doctrine which promises
to annihllate want and poverty, Danish crime
from society and put luxury and splendor within
the reach of all, will naturally attract the atten-
ton of the larger portion Of the world--being
those who lack and want these things--while at
The same time they should be received with
proper precaution and apprehension. To offer
to reconstruct society is at least a bold move
and he who proposes il, if not madman, must
be one of no ordinary mind--especially when,
as in the case of Fourier, he goes into detail,
and shows you the new state Of things, all practi-
|cally worked out---eyen TO the most minute cir
cumstances and Offices Of life, most of Fourier's
disciples in this country are vigorous thinkers
and sound practical men--very far removed for
the visionary ghost-hunters of transcendentalism
Fourierism will make some noise in the world
within the next half century.--N. Y. Mr.

WORK FOR

Those who neglected to dress their asparagus
beds last month, should be careful that it is done
early in this. For this purpose, let the old stalks
be removed and all green weeds, and a layer of
horse manure OF litter from the stable spread over
the bead from four 10 eight inches deep. BY do
ing, this the roots will shoot much earlier g. stron-
ger in the spring, and are not so liable 10 be in
jured during the winter, as when the bed is left
without dressing. Sea-kale should also be Gov
cred during this month. When it is intended for
use in the spring, a small box should be inverted
over each plant, and then the bed covered us for
asparagus. In the spring the box should be al
lowed to remain as long as you wish to continue
cutting the kale, by which the young shoots will
be blanched and more tender, than when grown
i'm the light. All edible roots should now DO re-
moved to the cellar, and early peas may be plan

Origin OF ahe aower FOrget-ne-not.

Miller in his work on "Chivalry," mentions
that the beautiful little flower "forget-ne-not"
was known in England as early as Edward w.,
and in a note gives the following pretty incident:
"Fwo lovers were lettering along the margin of a
lake on a fine summers evening, when the maid
en- discovered some flowers growing in the water
close to the banks of an island, atsome distance
from the shore. She expressed a desire TO pos
sess them, when her knight, with the true spirit
of chivalry, plunged into the water and swim
ming to the spot, cropped the wished for plant;
but his strength was unable to fulfill the object
of his achievement, and feeling that he could
not regain the shore, although very near it, he
threw the flowers on the bank, and cast a last af
fectionate glance on his ladye love, said Forget
me-not'' and was buried in the water"

HORTICULTURAL
n t CATTLE E E

The indifference which is manifested in every
direction of our country towards procuring a sup
ply ofsuccuIent food for mich COWS during win
ter, is as cruel as it is impolitic. Without such
food to be substituted for the heritage of pastures
it is as impossible that cows can be kept in good
order as that they can be kept ~profitably to their
milk upon dry food. Say what we may. the COW
that keeps well to the pail during winter must be
supplied with such food as yields sueculent mat
ter bountifully;--for without she be so provided,
il as utterly impossible that the milk-vessels can
Secrete milk, and for the very obvious reason that
they must have something to extract it from.
We have often seen a farmer who, with half a do
zen cows TO the pail, in winter, did not make
more butter and cream than supplied his own la
BILE, whereas he ought to have been able, in ad-
dition to domestic consumption, to have sent at
least 20 lbs. per week 10 market. Ii this we're
an isolated case it would not strike us with Won
der; but from its almost universal prevalence it
is at once a subject Of regret and notification
regret that the claims ofselEinterest and human
ity are so shamefully neglected-and mortiica-
ton, that so little regard is paid to a branch of
husbandFy SO intimately connected with human
comfort.
With these Introductory remarks, let us say
what are, in our opinion, the best food for cattle
in winter. 1t is Mdngle Wurtzel, Sugar Beet,
Rata Baga and Pumpkins. Each Of these may,
by proper care, be provided in ample quantities,
without materially interfering with the other far
ming operations. A single acre planted in Man
gel WurtzeI, Or Sugar Beets, in rows two feet a.
part, the plants one foot asunder, supposiDg that
the beets average 3 lbs. a piece, which is a very
moderate average, is capable of yielding 1889
bushels, which, at the rate of a bushel day TO
each COW, would last seven cows from the lst of
December til the LIST of May, and if they get but
halfa bushel a day each, the product of an acre
would keep ii cows in food during the time ma
med. Beets every one know how to cultivate
10 wit, thatthey are to be planted in good deep
ly ~ploughed rich loan, previously we'll MANFRED;
that when the beets come up that they may be
thinned, cleaned of weeds, and subsequently re-
ceive three hoeings and cleanings. This is not
more trouble than ought to be devoted TO either
the culture Of corn or potatoes; but how different
is the result Of product. Of all the articles nam
cd by us as proper for winter food, we would pre-
fer the two varieties of beets; but we think that
every iudicious farmer will at once see the pro-
priety of providing some of all, as there is moth
ing which so tends TO keep cattle in winter 10
their appetites, as frequent changes Of food; we
have frequently seen them reject the same kind
of food that they had eaten with ayidity the pre-
vious day and after an interval of a few days
feeding on something else, return with renewed
vigor Of appetite to that which only a few days
before thew had loathed.-Farmcr g. Gardner

THE IsTHMus OF PANAMA.--The following ap-
pears in the "Courier Franeais: We learn,
from a source upon which we can confidently
rely, that the hopes which have been entertained
to the cutting Of the lsthmus Of Pana-
ma, cannot be realized. M. Garella is returned
from making his survey, and the result of it is
that the Isthmus rises between the two oceans,
not merely to the height of ten yards above the
level of the sea, as stated by the Franco-G eFan-
dine Company, but in reality to 1876 yards: SC
that, instead Of a single trench or a canal with
out any sluice, which would have been an artif-
cial strait, as we had been given by the compa-
MES engineers TO expect, nothing can be less
than a canal with 60 locks, divided between its
two sides. M. Garella is distinguished mining
engineer, employed by the French Government
to verify the levels taken by the Franco-Geran
dine Company.

All is wonder and delight,
These beauteous scenes among,
Whilst l~isl'ning TO Niagara's voice
lis wild and fearful song.
Behold it coming in its flight,
Afar from rock to rock,
The dashing, whirling, angry waves,
As if an earthquakes shock
Had rent the fountains Of the deep,
And waken'd from their silent sleep,
The fearful monsters there!~
And now, the ,sheety waves of green,
Leap with delirious hiss
Into the wild and deep abyss,
And from the Overwhelming scene,
The snowy spray in clouds arise,
Amidst the laundering roar,
And ascend like incense to the skies,
And ascend forever more!
But see! that lovely rainbow,
Enthron'd in beauty there!
Like a kind guardian angel
Watching DER despair:
1t smiles for aye the scene above
An emblem of eternal love!
When Eden birds in paradise
First carol'd their sweet lay,
Niagara! Thy thunder voice
Wa heard, far, far away;
But then these hills were solitude,
These rocks by man meier trod,
Thy tones alone, poai'd thro' the wood,
The tones--the voicc---of God!
.
Flow on! majestic river,
Until that awful day
When earth shall pass away,
And the sea its dead deliver!
When the sun at noon,
And the silpery moon,
Shall fom their sphere be driven
And raylcss fall from heaven!

Thou seest me not, my own dear bride;
Yet bright thy smile, my Esperance,
As when we sported side by side,

Thy stirrup firm and fearless still;
Such power abides in consistency
Of faith and hope, and steadIast will.

Than when the saddened strlpling-boy
Left thee and thine, and England's shore.
One lingering gaze behind | cast:
Thy young eye watched me from the hill;-
O, had | deemed that look thy %last!--
But here thou art, and dearer still.
Thy minds a kingdom all my own;
And like the lark, in morning air,
Ehy playful voice, whose minstrel tone
Can charm away my every care.
The peace which pure high thoughts impart,
The scents, the sound Of jocund earth,
Are thine-and more than all, a heart
That beats for thee and feels thy worth.
What thought alike unmarked by thee
The moonbeam and the noontide ray,
TITS mind, and heart, and converse free,
Turn gloom to joy, and night to day.
Then cheer thee love; where'er we 60,

The following poem derives its orr gin from a

one of our midland counties. A young lady OF
great beauty and accomplishments was suddenly
deprived, by an inflammation, Of the sense OF
sight. Nevertheless, instead Of sinking, under
so heavy a dispensatjon, into listlessness and
melancholy, with an admirable spirit She retained
Ter cheerfulness, and continued all her former
pursuits, as far as the privat!on would allow.
She continued to play, sing, walk, and even ride
out on horseback--preservjng a bright mind, a.
midst her darkness, and a happy coun'enance.
Soon afterwards a gentleman retnrned from a.
broad, who had been the companion other child
hood--and her lover in his b%oyhood. Touched
by the noble spirit with which she bore her ca
lamity, and still retaining his old attachment to
her, he offered his heart and hand for her accep-
tance-in spite Of the urgent counsel OF his
friends, and even the circumstances OF the lady
herself But he remained firm to his purpose
and the verses were composed, as if addressed
