Where is the Money to come from?

The amount of money appropriated by
Congress at the present session exceeds
siriy-one millions Of dollars il was
stated by Mr.. Allen in the Senate, the
other day, that ii would be necessary to
appropriate some Thirty-fve or Forty
millions more on account of the Mexican
war at the next session, which will make
the round little sum, in all, of about one
hundred millions for the year. The Sub
treasury bill requires all this money to be
discussed in gold or SLIDER, or Treasury
notes. We ask, where is the money to.
come from . .4ie1aadri6 GAG. ~.

AIR-"AuM Lang Synr,"
Shall e'er cold water be forgot
When we sit down to dine'
o no, my friends, for is it not
Poured out by hands divine
Poured out by hands divine, my friends,
Poured out by hands divine;
From springs and wells it gushes forth,
Poured out by hands divine.
Cold water, too, tho wonderful,
'Tis no less true, again.
The weakest of all earthly drinks
Doth make the strongest mem
Doth make the strongest men, my friends,
Doth make the strongest men;
Then let us take that weakest drink,
And grow the strongest men.
And as the bells of tulips turn,
To drink the drops that fell
From Summer clouds-then why should not
The two lips of a belief
The two lips of belle, my friends,
The two lips of a belle:
What sweetens more than water pure,
The two lips of a belle
The sturdy oak full many cup
Doth hold up to the sky,
To catch the rain, then drink it up
And thus the oak get high
IT'S thus the oak gets high my friends
'Tis thus the oak gets high,
BY having water in its cups;
Then why not you and II
Then let cold water armies give
Their banners TO the air;
So shall the boys like oaks be strong,
The girls like tulips fair,
The girls like tulips fair, my friends,
The girls like tulips fair,
The boys shall grow like sturdy oaks,
The girls like tulips fair.

COLUM BIAS SHIP.
ny MRS. L. II. srGoURNEY.

The ship from young Columbas shore,
AS feet they are, and free,
AS those from laughter realms that boast
Dominion over the sea-
As gallantly their banners float,
As keen their lightnings fly,
And braver hearts than there are found
Beat not beneath the sky.
White as the glancing sea birds wing
Their swelling sails expand,
Beside the bright Egean isles,
Or green Formosas strand
Or where the spare Norwegian pine
A sudden summer shares,
Or Terra del Fuego's torch
Amid the tempest glares.
Unmoved their trackless course they hold
Though vengefu Boreas roars
And made their port on stranger-coasts,
Or undiscovered shores
Rude people of a foreign speech
Have learned their cheering cry,
Gland no : aloft and bear hand"
Are the ready tar's reply,
From zone to zone-from pole to pole,
Where'er in swift career
The venturous keel path explores
Our yankee sailors steer;
The white bear, on his field Of ice,
Has seen his signals tossed
And the great whale, old Oceans king,
Doth know them to his cost.
The spices from the Indian isles,
The plant Of China's care,
The canes sweet blood from tropic cimes
Their merchant vessels bear.
Wherever Commerce points his wand,
They mount the crested waves,
And link together every sea
The rolling globe that laves.
Still nearest to the Antarctic gate
Our daring seamen press,
Where storm wrapped Nature thought to dwell
In hermit loneliness:
"Whose masts are those so white with frost
Where fearful icebergs shine ~
My country from her watch tower looked
And answered-"They are mine?"
Columbia's ships! With dauntless Prov
The tossing deep they tread
The pirates of the Lyban sahds
Have felt their prowess dread
And the British Lions lordly name
Their victor might confessed,
For we'll their nations faith and pride
They guard on Oceans breast.
When strong oppression feIcely frown,
Her eagle rears his crest,
And means no bird of air shall pluck
His pinions on his breast;
And brighter on the threatening cloud
Clean out her stars of gold,
Huzza for young Columba's ships,
Ard for her seamen bold.

ARTICHoKEs-Thed destruction OF so large .

ARTIcHoKEs The destruction OF so large
share Of the po,atoe crop must, we think, lead
farmers to the cultivation of other crops liat
will in some measure supply this important ar
tice In Elsworh's Reports the artchoke is
spoken Of as furnishing even better spring feed
for hogs, cattle and sheep, than the potatoe;
and it is cultivated with less expense. Mr..
Thomas Noble, Of Massilon, gives in substance
the following account of a trial OF them made
in 1913. The ground was of medium quality,
and prepared like that for other spring crops.
The urtchokes were planted in rows q and 3
feet apart--using little more seed than is com
monty used in planting potatoes. AS soon as
the frost was out of the ground on the following
spring, the harvesting commenced. The pro-
due, was at the rate of 750 bushels per acre.
They were fed principally to sheep, though cat
| tie, horses md hogs all ate them WELL seeming
to prefer them 10 turnips MIR. Noble also used
the tops for fodder He cut them in October,
| lust before frost came, dried and housed them.
They were fed to the stock in winter, and were
evidently preferred to corn fodder. Mr. Noble
was so well pleased with them that he proposed
to cultivate them on n larger scale They re-
quire but little cultivation, it only being neces-
safy to keep the ground clea. of weeds till the
artichokes get good siart-Clerldnd Her.
p To PREVENT CRows FROM PULLING Up CoRN
Just before your corn comes up take CON-
mon fox trap and set it in your corn ground
where It is most exposed to the crows and
when you set 1t, be careful to leave th, ground
over the trap in the shape of a corn hill ard
then scatter some corn over the trap and sir.
some along some three or four rods from tie
trap, in three or four directions. This Will
draw the crows into the trap; and if you can
nab one, which you most propably will, you will
not, for this season at least, be troubled with
their company again, .or he will call all within
hearing, which will extend to no small distance
assure you, and let his colored' brethren
know that there is danger in trespassng on that
I territory.
The crow should be left in the trap until he
has called his friends to witness the predica-
ment he is in; and when you take HIM out, set
him at liberty that he and his friends may know
that hidden dangers lie buried there.

lhe washington Union has the fol-
lowing notice of the preparations for a
descent on Santa Fe:- -
The VOLUNTEER EXPEDITION TO SAN
ia FE.-This expedition. under the
command OF Colonel Kearney, to which
this country looks with so much interest,
is at present pushed forward with the ut
most vigor. All the supplies required
ordnance, stores, subsistence, baggage
trains, Sc, were expected to be at Fort
Leavenworth early during the present
week. When it is remembered says
the St. Louis Republican of June Sd,
that this expedition will require near a
thousand mules for draught, several
hundred horses for the ordnance, and for
mounting the Dragons, at least two
hundred wagons, large stock on foot,
and other stores in proportion, and that
the requisition only reached here last
Sunday, some idea may be formed of the
despatch with which the United States
Government officers have performed
their duties.
The same Journal adds -" No de.
lay, VIC are assured, will occur, if the
volunteers arc as promptly at the point
of rendezvous as the supplies, or are rea-
dy for the march as soon as all other
things are prepared Several of the
companies raised in counties on the Mis-
souri, river, will set out today for Fort
Leavcnworth, and it is believed that
nearly the whole number will be mus
tered into service at the fort, by the last
of this, or the first of next week. If any
delay is caused by the non-arrival of the
volunteers, it will probably occur from
the companies raised in this county
they being farthest off, and having grea-
ter difficulties to contend with, than
those in the interior counties. We pre-.
sumo that as soon as the companies are
ready to leave, they will be furnished
with the necessary transportation and
it occurs TO us that they should be de-
spa,ched as fast as they can present
themselves, properly mounted and
equipped. At all events, we hope there
will be no delay on account Of the troops
from this quarter"
