Nor calm my troubled soul,
No torturrs can my sinews move,
No death pang do heed,
But thus 10 die from all love,
This--,his is death indeed
Pm thinking Of my cottage home
Upon Kentucky's shore,
The peaceful walls, The brooklei's foam,
The green-sward at the door,
The ivied roof that giinimsring shin.s,
The wild fight Of The bee.
The bright spring flowers, The clustering vines
All these seem to see.

Should change to dark despair.
AT night when gathered round the heath, #
Those little ones shall be,
Where shall they sis in sinless mirlh,
Upon parents knee
Around whose neck their arms entWne,
Whose warm kiss press their brow
Alas! why should call We mine,
Ye have no father now!
Yet would have each free,55rn soul
To scorn minian's chain,
To spurn the deed, the base control,
That would his country stain
To peal his fierce defiance out,
To die as die the brave.
His latest breath triumph shout,
His grave frceman's grave
fam would have my spirits fire,
My every drop Of blood,
TO hover round each mountains spire,
TO foam in every food,
That there record it might be,
A token rolling on,
A sign Of hope and victory,
By free Columbia won.

! In conversation with one of the largest whole.
sale chcesemongers and provision dealers in the
country. he suggested that there were two great
faults of the American cheese, which somewha,
prejudlced its sale in the English markets. lie
Is person in whose character and experience
entire confidence may be placed.
lie was pleased to say that he had cheeses
from the United States, as good as any he had
ever seen, and that the general character of the
article was greatly improved since the first i'm.
poriations.
But the first fault was the sottncss of the rind.
1t often cracked, and the cheese became spoiled
from that circumstance. This he considered as
owing TO the cheese being too rich if so, it is IA
fault which may be remedied. The English
cheescs soon acquire great tirmness. think
proper, however, to add the directions of most
experienced and successful dairy farmer in re-
spect to this matter. lie says that the rind may
be made Of any desired hardness, if the cheese
be taken from the press and allowed to remain
in brine so strong that it will take up no more
salt, for four or five hours. There must be
great care, however, not to keep it too long in
the brine.
The second fault is the acidness, or peculiarly
smart bitter taste, often found in American
cheese. lie thought this might be due. in part.
to some improper preparation or use of the rem
net, and in part to some kind of food which the
cows found in the pastures. Both these matters
are well worthy of investigation, and that alone
can determine.
He was Of opinion, likewise, that American
cheese would sell better if it We're coured like
the English cheese. The market for it was fast
becoming more extensive.
In respect TO American Butter, he considered
that which usually came here as a most inferior
article. Most of it, ! believe, is used in the
manufacturing districts, solely for greasing ma
chinery. Salt butter, or butter strongly sailed
is not saleabe in the English market and es
pecially the salt must not appear. canno
doubt, however, that presently some of our hes
Inn9 or September butter, put w in lYmps
have any to export. The very best fresh butte
in London market, however, does not bring 81
high price as | have often paid for the bes
article from the county of Worcester, in Bosto

| In all time past, and all the world over, it al
ways has been the case, and it always will re
main to be so, that, wherever local market il
created, the farmer is more prosperous, and hi.
estates bear higher value, than where he de
ponds entirely on distant market for the sale
of his products. In the vicinity of all grea
towns, land always bears comparatively higl
price, because it will pay profit on such
price.
Now, the tendency of railroads is to build ur
towns wherever they go, and to create a loca
market in the vicinity. They afford such facil.
tiles for carrying on almost every kind of man.
ufacturing and mechanical business as to bring
these establishments to the doors of the farmers
instead of compelling the farmers to send their
produce great distance to them-a distance
which would absorb considerable portion OF
the value of the commodities in the expense of
transportation. As evidence OF this, we need
but look at facts. Every where in New Eng.
land that railroads have been constructed long
enough to have thcli legitimate effects. villages
have grown up ON their line, new kinds of bust.
ness have been introduced, and property, in
their immediate vicinity, has been appreciated
in value. The area over which this influence
extends every year, widens as time is given for
the change to work its way.
The change, then, to which farmers must be
instead of raising the great staples for one that
is more distant. Prime lump butter, any where
within ten miles of the villages and towns of the
railroad, or where they can get it weekly to
market by railroad, is worth nearly twice as
much as it is where they are compelled to lay it
down and keep it for distant market in the win
ter. Lambs, veal, vegetables of various kind,,
and all descriptions Of fruits are comparatively
more valuable. The effect, then, of the rail-
roads eventually will be, to give tho vicinity of
the places they pass through nearly all the adj
vantages they would possess if located near a
populous city.
With the culture of many things adapted to
this change of circumstances, especially of the
more valuable fruits, considerable portion of
our agricultural community are not very well
acquainted. The sooner they acquaint them
selves herewith, SO as to adapt themselves to
the change, the more to their interest it will be.
-Neto England Farmer.
