PASSING A w AY

Passing away passing away
Things we most cherish fall first to decay;
Smiles that are sweetest the soonest are flown,
And friends that are dearest, the earliest gone,
passing away-passing away
We have fingered here but feetng day;
The faces we met were the new and strange,
And we sighed as we looked on SO drear a
change.
But passing away-passing away
Time has sped far that first wearisome day,
And well have we learned with a ready part,
To rivet new ties round the yielding heart
We have learned to love the new and strange,
Till we fear to think of the coming change,
And weep as we dream of the saddenins day
When these new found friends will have pass.
ed acay
Will have passed away! will have passed away!
Is there, then, no love that will last for aye!
Are there no friends who will meier estrange2
Nohearts to be true mid the wreck ofchange
Nay, nay; doubt not, tits cheerless thing,
To odoubt the faith of the hearts where we cling
And we fain would trust tho all others decay,
The love of these friends will pass nerer away
Though life may pass on, and we meet no more
Till its dreams are gone, and its strivin9s o'er
We will oft look back through memorys hall,
And these eyes and these voices again recall:
And, oh, may it be in the final hour,
They may come yet again with holy power
And draw us on with yet stronger love
To join in Eternal bonds above
But oh, shall we meet--shall we all meet there!
'Twere bliss to outweigh all worldly care,
And we well might joy, though our mortal day
In this cold, cold world pass so swiftly away.
Oh, friends, dear friends, it is vain to tell
How these fears and hopes in my spirit dwell
Shall we all meet there? shall we all NEE
there?
'Tismy dearest hope and my constant prayer!

WHAT KIND OF COWS FARMERS
SHOULD KEEP

What are the qualities necessary to
constitute good COW? A good milk
er alone does not, in our Judgment,
constitute n good feeder. 1t Is these
three qualities combined that make the
COW. Give us COW that is good for
milk quality, as we'll as quantity con-
sidered--that when properly bred to
good bulls will invariably produce good
calves, and one when that dried OF her
milk, will with proper care and attcn-
ton, take on flesh rapidly and evenly
and for one we rest, for a while, at
least satisfied. And till we can raise
up an entire herd of cows, each OF
which shall possess these excellencies,
our aim shall be to advance in improve
ment till we can accomplish our object.
TO possess the first oi these qualities,
u COW should have fine head, little
wide above the eyes, but quite small
below, and appear somewhat long
Her nose should be Of rich yellow
color, or at all events not black, 1--WE
do not know Of any full, blooded stuck,
ofany breed, with black noses, but they
frequently appear on stock as high bred
fifteen sixteenths) Her neck should
be very small where it joins the head,
but widening and deepening as it APP
proaches the shoulders and briskets.
l!er udder should be OF "a good size, well
covered with long soft hair and not
inclined to flcshness large milk veins,
and small, delicate horns: they may
be long in some breeds )ut they should
have a yellow skin.
To be a good breeder she sbonld in
the first place, be descended from good
stock and the farther back you can
trace her from good stock the better.
She should possess all the before men.
toned milking qualities, with a broad,
straight back, wide loins and hips. deep

ConstitutionaIist, upon the Southern ques.
ton
FAREE KNowE, June %, 1850.
My Dear Sir, Tomorrow, I am sixty
years old, and from a long course Of obser.
vatlon, have been induced to believe that
men are often, very often, supegslitious aud
ianaticaI IN many things besides religion.
Now my regard for the Union is based
altogether on my reason. l have long
since abandoned all prejudices (superstiuon)
about it.
This time was in our infancy, when we
paid tribute to the Barbary powers In our
youth, we felt able to refuse that truth, and
we stopped it, The time was when all the
States united, were barely able to gain suf
terence in the family of nations, and while
separate there was constant danger of Dor.
der wars, standing armies, and despotisms
For both reasons have been devoted to the
Union, and have been content to pay NV
portion OF the annual Sl5,000,00O tribute
which we pay to the North, and have paid
her4or years. The first reason has ceased
to exist. The slave-holding States are
strong enough to defend themselves against
all enemies, and important enough, in a
commercial point of view, to command the
respect and courtship of the world l must
confess that when the North, in addition to
the tribute, demands as the price of peace
with her that we abandon all share of the
acquisitions of our joint efforts, and suffer
our slaves to be stolen by them ad libitim,
| am disposed to resist If it were left to
me would plant the left Southern foot on
the British line, the right on the Mexican,
face our arrogant enemies, and bid them
-----------lay - on McDuff,
And damned be he who first cries hold, enough
| would let them understand that though
we loved peace, we feared war as little as
they, and the bhghting influence of the want
OF our traffic they should feel in the very
marrow OF their bones, and then we would
have peace, lasting peace, and not I'LL then.
MARK NE, l SAY WE WILL NOT HAVE PEACE
WITH THE NORTH UNTIL WE CONVINCE THE
North THAT WE DO NOT FEAR THEM, AND
THAT THEY CANNOT DO WITHOUT US. Such
is my love for the Union, a reasoning love,
based on calculation of how much It's ben.
efits outweighed its evils Any love be-
yond that is superstitious and fanatca, and
based on nursery tales, l had almost said,
insure the peace, and the South is better out
of the Union than in it. If the worst come
to the worst, she can make money enough
to fight too, which is four times as much as
our adversaries can do.
Our patriot statesmen who met at Nash
vile, and they deserve all you have said Of
them, recommend that we acquiese in the
Missouri Compromise line if the North pro-
poses it. have not the vanity to believe
that am wiser than my generation, | will
therefore cheerfrlly forego my opinions as
expressed above, and will most cordially
unite with you and exert every faculty to- IN
duce all to acquiesee in that line, and bo con.
tent. Sincerely and respectfully
Your obedient servant
