tying up the arm Of each patient and de-

dose of salts which | looked upon as the
most active purge. repeated this course
upon every visit until, in three or four days,
found that had bled and purged out the
suffering life of my unfortunate patient A
single case did not recover under my hands.
The distress and suffering produced in fami-

talk of doctors who were jealous Of my re-

P O E T R Y
MY SISTER.

FROM AN UNPUBLISHED ROMANCE.
BY EDWARD POLLOCK.
My own sweet sister! still she seems
To fit before me in my dreams,
With that sweet smile and sparkling eye,
And bounding step and glance ofjoy,
And whispering voice like musc's, clear,
That to nv heart were once so dear.
And often, as the summer day
In golden glory fades away,
When leaf and plant and foweret gay
In the warm air are softly sleeping,
And drench'd with dew-drops bends each spray
AS for the suns departure weeping;
Then, to my fancy's raptured ear
The low. sweet song comes strangely clear
From that lone glade, where oft at cen
She loved to stray by all unseen;
And fancy's eye her form will see
Beneath that old ACCUSTOMED tree,
Under whose arms, as fell the night,
I've watch'd unseen her robes of white,
Till in the gathering twilight gray
She vanished with the closing day.
But tits but fancy-fancy all!
For she has gone-forever gone:
A stone, within the church-yard wall,
Alone remains to me of one,
Whose memory, thro' this vale of tears,
My hearts best resting-place shall be
A beason DER the waste of years
To guide me to Eternity.

FooD FOR Cows,-Mr. Chabert, the d.
rector of the veterinary school of Afford,
England, had number of cows which yield
ed twelve gallons of milk every day.. In
his publication on the subject, he observes
that COWS, fed in the winter on dry substan-
ces, give less milk than those which are
kept on a green diet; and also that their
milk loses much of its quality. He pub
lished the following receipt, by the use of
which his cows furnished him an equal
quantity of milk during the winter as dur
ing the summer. Take bushel of potatoes;
break them whilst raw, place them in bar
rel standing up, putting in successfully
layer of bran, and small quantity of yeast
in the middle of the mass, which is to be
left thus to ferment during a whole week,
and, when the vinous taste has pervaded the
whole mixture, it is then given to the cows,
which cal it greedily.

FEEDING PoULTRY.-Professor Gregory,
of Aberdeen, in letter to friend, observes:
"As ! suppose you keep poultry, ] may tell
you that it has been ascertained, that if you
mix with their food sufficient quantity of
egg-shell or chalk, which they eat greedily,
they will lay, coeteris paribus, twice or thrice
as many eggs as before. A well-fed fowl
is disposed to lay vast number of eggs,
but cannot do so without the materials for
the shells, however nourishing in other re-
spects her food may be; indeed, fowl fed
on food and water, free from carbonate of
lime, and not finding any in the soil or in
the shape of mortar, which they often eat
on the walls, would lay no eggs at all, with
the best will in the world"
