Railroads in Vermont.

A correspondent Of the Mail, who has been
travelling in Vermont, writes as follows from
Montpelier
"In other States, railroad tracks not unfre.
quently pass through the most dismal landscapes
and over the most sterile soil, but in Vermont
the case is quite different. Here the iron horse
must traverse the most fertile regions and the
richest valleys, or not bulge an inch. Beautiful
and romantic as the Green Mountains are, still
they are too steep for the locomotive 10 ascend
Powerful as the iron horse is, he must be con,
tent to pass through the rich and fertile valleys
of this glorious State and leave the mountains
TO be grazed by the cattle and sheep, But there
is one advantage, he will bring to your city the
yellow butter and the rich cheese from the skill
full and clean hands of Vermont's buxom daugh
tiers. When this road shall have been built tc
the lake, then travellers have an opportunity t.
pass in the cars through some of the widest ant
most romantic scenery and over the best farm
IN the wide world. 1t will form most magmf
ccncc pleasure excursion"

Sailing and Curing Hay.

Editors Of The ALBANY Cuiticdtor -,
In the January number of The Cultiyotor,
find soulc remarks of yours on sailing hay for
stock. which are somewhat different from my
views of the subject
Your statement that salt may be properly used
to prevent damp hay from being damaged, does
not agree with my experience OH the subject -
as far as | have observed the salt Increases The
dampness and should be spariucly used on wet
hay as well as dry. Most farmers, in the hurry
of the haymakng season, are apt 10 house too
much of their hay, IN green, damp st to, and
use salt so profusuly to niurc it, and the sto k
that consumes it. Stock need but little salt III
winter, and more than TO make their food palate
able, must have Il contrary effect, and be eaten
from necessity rather than choice
My practice is to cure my hay properly and
put two quarts of fine salt to a ton, taking care
10 have the Jumps well pulverized. Curlrg hay
in the cock IS lhe only right way, though most
farmers are slow to believe it, and many have
condemned the practice because they have moi
patience to wait long enough | know OF III 9th
or was to cure clover without sc .ious loss.

Indemnity for the Past and Sc

This pompous phrase was invented we believe
by President James X. Polk ngeniously apollo

a bold stop thief assumption that indemnify for
making war upon them was most righteous de-

munitions of war, an hundred millions of dollars,
more or less, the skill and experience of the a

Senator Mongum, of North Carolina, and Mr.
Toombs of Georgia, in the House, have recently
made speeches upon the free soil question. Mr.
Mangum said that 'no man could be more OPP
posed to the extension of Slavery than he was
Mr. Toombs in his speech, took ground a

conditions. He ridcued the extreme notions
that had been advanced in both Houses, that the
people o: the territories had full control over the
question of Slavery. lie commended, on the Other

Congress, it would be undoubtedly determined
by its wisdom, prudence and patriotism"

POETRY AND MISCE L A N Y,
KEEP COOL.

"Keep cool!" the secret of success in life
Lies not in haste, excitement, hustle, strife.
This "bol,ing dinners" hurrying to and fro;
Keep up one continued, constant ego"
Taking your pleasure jaunts at railroad speed,
And never stopping aught to or heed,
This going to China just to have chat,
Taking but one clean dickey in your hat:
These are the features Of the times, | own,
That give to modern life its zest and tone;
But do they bring as real, genuine joy,
True happiness, unmixed with base alloy
Keep cool don't strive for sudden wealth too fast
Fortunes, quick made, are seldom known to last;
Like wat'ry bubble that in air revolves,
A breath but makes them and breath dlssolves;
Write letters if you've any time to waste,
But don't subscribe yourself Gin haste;'
Men have been known their hopes in life to kill,
By needless scratching of some wayward quill;
And cen our Generals see their fortunes droop,
When trusted to 'hasty plate of soup"
BE wise, dscreet-of dangers take good heed;
De cautious, and you cannot but succeed;
Shun all rash ac:s-let moderation mark
Zach enterprise in which you may embark;
And from your mind ne'er let them be eifaced
The old yet sterling proverb, "Haste makes waste.
