THE WIND.


The wind bloweth over sweet flowers,
And over the rocky steep;
It bears on its breast balmy showers,
And the storms with its murmurs deep,
And the breath ofthe fen and the sweet smelling
blossom
Beareth the wind in its faithful BOSOM
1t pileth the winter snow,
1t tosseth the summer waves;
1t breatheth soft where the wild flowers grow
1t means over churchyard graves;
Many scenes fair, and many things dreary,
Doth the wind see in its wanderngs cary.
Like the wind is the human soul,
1t doth both evil and good;
Zephyrs soft, or tempest beyond control
In its mild or angry mood;
Changing ever from bright to dreary,
Ever shifting and restless and ever weary

CHRrsTIAN CoURAGE.--When Wales the en-
peror, sent messengers to win Eusebius to heresy
by fair words and large promises he answered,
Alas, sir, these speeches are fit to catch little
children When the emperor threatened to con-
iscate his goods, to torment, to Danish, or kill
him, he answered, He need not fear confscation
who has nothing to lose; nor Punishment, to
whom Heaven alone is his country nor torments,
when his body will be destroyed at one blow; nor
death, which is the only way to set him at liber-
ty from sin and Sorrow All things work to-
gether for good to them that love God

WOMEN

Female loyeliness cannot be clothed in more
imposing garb than knowledge. A female thus
arrayed, is one of the most interesting objects OF
creation. The learned and wise of the opposite
sex delight in her society, and affix to her char
acter respect and generation. Ignorance and
folly stand reproved in her presence, and vice in
his bold career, shrinks abashed in her gaze.
She moves, the joy, the pride, the delight of the
domestic circle, She excites the praises, the
admiration of the world ss

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTIONS OF SLAVES.
In the New Orleans Protestant Of May Sd,
there is "report on the religious instruction of
colored persons, published by order of the NO.
Presbytery," The report states that there are
within the bounds of that presbytery, at least
100000 persons of color, nearly all of whom
are Slaves The report also says that sit is ala
mentable fact, too evident to be denied, that by
far the greater part Of them are Finishing and

FOOD FOR THE HARD-WORKING SEA
SON ,-

Every good farmer knows, if he wishes to have
an animal well prepared for enduring work, that
it must not only be we'll fed, but the food must
be of the proper kind; otherwise it will get too
fat or toopoor, soft and watery or carry too much
bulk in its stomach Just so it is with man; and
to be able to accomplish his task with ease and
energy during the most busy part of the season.,
he should pay particular attention to his food
His object should be to acquire the greatest degree
of muScle with as little fat and bulk as possible.
In fact, to use trainers phrase, he must get in
to condition, which will add greatly his strength
and ease and quickness of motion. To acquire
muscle, then, we must eat such food as makes it
in the greatest perfection. aaf l.. a.s.ta.a
The lean of venison, beef, mutton, pork hams,
and shoulders, is the best meat for this purpose
next comes veal, poultry, and the dear kinds Of
fish; side pork is too fat and gross and should be
avoided as much as possible, especially during
the summer season. 1t is decidedly better to cal
meat fresh sailed, it makes one SO thirsty that he
is apt to overload his stomach with water, anC
thus become heavy and sluggish. Oatmeal il
undoubtedly the best for bread; but as the Amer

Prescribing Fresh Mea.-We gave a very
good article on this subject in our last, and now
add another. But, first, animals should be prop
erly butchered, or it is ofno use to attempt to
keep the meat They must fast at least one day
in the winter, and double that time in the sum-
mer, before being killed; for when not toerably
clear of food the flesh will almost Immediately
spoil in hot weather As soon as the meat comes
into the house let it be carefully examined and
wiped, and if it has been blown by flies, that part
must be cut off and thrown away. 1t should
then be kept covered with a cloth, first scatter
ing mixture of salt with pepper, or ginger, or
mustard, or any spices over it inimicaI to the fly
Now put it into the ice-house, the well, in the
cellar, or wire sieve, hung up in as cool, dry,
and windy a place as can be found Pieces Of

MILKING cows.

The owners Of cows should pay particular at
tention TO milking. Children should not be
trusted with this business, and there are many
grown people who never milk well, though they
have been brought up to the business.
II you would obtain all the milk from the COW,
you must treat her with the utmost genteness I;
she must not stand trembling under your blows
nor under Your threats. Soon after he bag has
been brushed by your hand, and the ends of the
teats have been mostened little with milk, it
flows in rapidity, and all the veins or ducts near
the teais are completely filled. Then it must
be drawn out Immediately or you will not get
the whole. You must not sit and talk-you
must not delay one moment, if you would have
all the COW is then ready to YIELD
The udder should be moved in every direction
at the close OF milking, and the hands may beat
It little, in imitation of the beating which the
calf gives it when sucking. An expert mixer
will make the COW give one quarter more in but
ter, than majority OF grown mixers will.
One season, says an experienced writer we
kept four cows in the home lot there was but
little difference in the quantity of milk given by
each. We had re,y Stcady hired man, of forty
years OF age he had carried on farm in New
Hampshire, and had always been used to milk.

We MIXED two Of the cows, and he the Other
two, and we were but little more than half as
long as he in milking, though we got the larges
mess by about one quart. On our re demonstrating
that he did not draw out all the milk, he said biz
cows would not yield so much as those mlket
by us. We then made an exchange; he milk
ed our two, and we MIXED his. In three week,

THE POOL OF SLOAN.

A little above the fountain Of En- Rogel, which
leads up the valley Of Jehosaphat, there is
mulberry tree of unusual size, with raised ter
race, favorte stopping place for wayfarers and
shepherds, who repose under its ample shade,
while their focks are drinking from channel
filed with water, conducted from the Pool OF
Sloan, which is few PAGES above. II was not
without emotion that we descended the steps of
the fountain, worn and polished by ages, and
seated ourselves under the cool moist arch, a
delicious shelter from the burning MONDAY
beams Of July sun, reposing our weary limbs
listening to the gentle current of the "waters OF
Sloan, that 60 SOFTLY" and drinking, with the
palm Of our hands, from the refreshing and linn
Did stream AS the Arab women of the valley
came down to fill their pitchers, we remember
ed that the daughters Of Judah frequented it two
thousand years ago: that kings and prophets
have drank of its consecrated waters, and that
perhaps Jesus and his disciples have often repos-
cd on these very steps, in the course of his walks
about the city. TO describe the view before
us-the path to the fountain is seen above the
edge of the pool, on the right, and figures are
descending the steps under its arch, down TO the
water, which flows out by small orifice in the
square pool, and thence by channel into the
valley below, as before stated. The remains
of pillars, at the side and in the basin, seem to
indicate that at former period it must have
been wholly or partially covered; and it has
been supposed that this is also the Bethesda
with five porches, where at certain hours an an
gel, according to popular tradition, troubled the
waters, which were then supposed to have heal
ing power. This receives some countenance
from the fact, that there is singular ebb and
flow in the stream, noticed by many travellers,
and lately witnessed by DR.. Robinson, but be-
yond this there is nothing to support the con-
lecture. 1t has been ascertained by the perse-
vering research of DR.. Robinson, that the water
is brought 10 the Pool from that Of the Virgin,
higher up the valley, by means of channel cut
through the rocky hill of Ophel, work of great
and useless labor. Both fountains were within
the city. Its length, as measured by him, is
1850 feet.

A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT.

How few men seem to have formed concep-
ton Of the original dignity Of their creation
Regarding themselves only as creature OF
time, endowed merely with animal passions and
intellectual faculties, their project, aims and ex-
pectations are circumscribed by the narrow out.
line of human life. They forgot that instability
and decay are written, as with sunbeam, upon
all earthly objects-that this world, with all its
pageantry, and pomp, and power, is crumbling
into dust-that this life is scarcely deserving OF
single thought, excepting as it forms the in.
PRODUCTION to another, and that he alone acts a
prudent or rational part, who frames his plans
with direct reference to that future and endless
state OF being. She has SO blinded the UNDER
standing, and debaseG the affections, that men
never fail to invest some temporal good with
fancied perfection, and idly imagine that the at
tanment of it would satisfy the desires and fill
the capacities of the immortal spirit! How little
do they know themselves! The soul is no, o.
the earth, and they will strive in vain to chair
it to the dust. Though its native strength has
been impaired, and its purity furnished, and ii:
'sio,y cna,,seu,' 1t will not always be prisoner
here. Send it fortb,i you will, TO range through
the whole material universe, and like the dove
dismissed from the ark, it will return wthou

resting place but the bosom Of God.-lMa0W.
