FORTUNE AND LOVE.
BY ELIZA COOK

BY ELIZA COOK.
Let me live without fortune, if Providence will
it,
For JOY can be found where small treasure is
shed;
Those who bear full cup are most fearful to
spill it,
And often times walk with the narrowest
tread.
care not though fate may deny me profusion,
If earth will but show me some rays from
above;
Tell me not that Gods light is dreamy illu-
sion
could live without fortune but not without
love.
o! it's pleasant to know there are beings about
u.s.
Who tune the most exquisite strings in our
heart,
To feel that they would not be happy without
And that we, in our loneliness. sigh when we
part.
o! there's something divine in the thought that
We cherish
a star beam within us that shines from above
10 know that if all the world gives US should
perish,
The greatest of fortune still dwella in our
love.
It's glory to feel that we live for some others,
That self is not all we depend on below
That affection yet links US to sisters and bro
thers.
Whose faith will be constant, come veal or
come woe.
Though the vuture Of trouble may harrass our
bosom,
Ne'er fear while our spirit is fed by the dove
Let the desert Of life give eternity's blossom,
And we'll live without fortune while favored
by love.

Stacking Corn Fodder.

The practice of sowing two and half
bushels of corn per acre In thick drills ex
clusively for fodder is rapidly extending
through the country, farmers discovering
that they can, in this way, obtain the rich
est food for wintering catle, which viii be
wholly consumed, and be preferred to the
best hay, at a cost never exceeding 81 so
per ton on good land in the country. In
planting, the corn is strewn from a hand
basket rapidly in the one horse furrows,
to be quickly covered with the common
harrow no hoeing, and but once culdvat-
ing, is ever needed, and weeds are so eff
fecually smothered, that the ground is
left as clean as the floor of neat house
wife but thus easily raised, the fodder
must be well preserved or the labor will be
lost. Ifput up in shocks, they should dry
several weeks; the leaves NAV be quite
dry, while the stocks will furnish moisture
enough 10 cause hot fermentation, mouldi-
ness, or decay. Stacks of this kind of fod-
der, settle very compactly, and the steam
from the heating, which must always take
place, will not find vent, unless chimney
is made in the middle of the stack, by set
ting three or four rails upright in the ground,
foot apart, TO form the centre of the
stack. further precaution, highly es-
sential, as well as useful, is to salt well
the fodder while the stack is going up.
Stacks of small size should be preferred.
and so placed that in case ofmuch heating
they may be thrown with fork into
new stack, which is often necessary under
uniayorable circumstances.
