Fer the Plymouth Pilot.
The Sisters Grave.
The tender'grass is springing'
Above her lowly bed
And the wild birds chanting sweetiy'
A dirge for the quiet dead.
Voices of Joy and gladness,
Float on the balmy air;
But waken not the loved one,
Who sleeps in silence there.
Twas in the early spring time,
We laid her down to rest;
And placed a willow at her head,
The wild turf Ger her breast;
And we left her--sadly left her
To her long and dreamless sleep,
And sought our lonely dwelling,
To thirk of her and weep.
On! hard It was to leave her,
Though we knew her free from PAM
And to think the form we cherished,
Could ne'er retnrn again.
But time has Gained the anguish,
With which our hearts were riven;
And we think of our gentle sister,
As living still in Heaven.

Corn GRowING-Ten acres OF good corn
land, when we'll cultivated, will yield
500 bushels of corn, or so bu. per acre,
if planted three feet apart each way. two
stalks to the hill, allowing each stalk
one ear, one hundred and twenty COM
mon sized ears to make one bushel of
shelled corn. If planted two and half
feet each way, two stalks to the hill,
1l6l bu.. or ll6 to the acre. If the
rows be three feet apart one way and the
stalks (drilled) one foot apart the other
way it will make l452 bu., or las, bu.,
to the acre.
Now if there should be more than one
ear to the stalk, as is often the case in
the best land, the quantity will be in
creased.
The above calculations are certainly
in bounds of reason, at least nothing OF
importance would be lost in making an
experiment upon each Of the plans spo-

TREATMENT OF COWS

AT this season Of the year, cows should
have the best Of care, especially those
which give milk, or are soon ex-
pected to calve. A little inattention
now and cows will get poor and weak,
aud will take nearly the whole summer
to regain their condition. Cows which
are soon expected to calve, that are not
well fed with plenty of good hay, and
kept in good thriving order, are not very
likely to do we'll. and may, perhaps, lose
mere flesh and strength in week, than
they could gain with the best feed in a
much longer time; but when they do not,
after calving, do we'll, and drop their
cleaning handful of wood ashes,
in mess of scalded bran, will, in the
worst cases prove beneficial. We have
tried it. and never knew it to fail. N.

The Little Factory Girl.

Twas on winters morning,
The weather wet and wild,
Three hours before the dawning,
The father reused his child;
Her daily morsel bringing,
The darksome room he paced,
And cried-"The bell is ringing,
My helpless darling haste.'
Father, Pm up, but weary,
scarce can reach the door.
And long the way and dreary--
O carry me once more"
To help us, we've no mother.
And you have no employ;
They killed our little brother
Like him I'd work and die"
Her wasted form seemed nothing;
The load was at his heart;
The sufferer he kept soathing,
Till at the mill they part.
The overlooker met her,
As 10 her frame she cTept,
Aud with his thong he beat her,
And cursed her as she wept.
Alas what hours Of horror,
Made mp her latest day,
In toll, and pain and sorrow,
They slowly passed away.
It seemed as she grew weaker.
The threads they often broke,
The rapid wheels ran quicker,
And heavier fell the str oke.
The sun had long descended,
But night brought no repose:
Her day began and ended
As cruel tyrants chose.
At length little neighbor
Her half penny she paid,
To take her last hours labor,
While by her frame she laid.
At last the engine ceasing,
The captive homeward rushed;
She thought her strength increasing
Twas hope her spirits flushed.
She left, bat oft she tarried,
She fell and rose no more!
Till by her comrades carried,
She reached her fathers door.
At night. with tortured feeling,
He watched his speeches. child,
While close beside her kneeling,
She knew him not, nor smiled;
Again, the BELLS ringing
Her last perception tyled,
When from her straw bed Sprlnglng
'TlS timer' she sald-and died!

The FAMILY NEwsPAPER.-A.a large por-
ton of our best sentiments have been
suggested, reiterated. and fastened to the
mind by the family press. The pulpit
does much; but the press, in the present
day, is necessary to both. Let any read
er of a we'll conducted family paper open,
its pages, and consider thoughtful y Its
contents. There are in a single number
sometimes from $50 to 200 separate and
distinct articles, each one conveying an
idea, fact or a sentiment, and stated or
illustrated so as to produce an effect, In
enlarging the readers store of knowledge
or giving right direction to thought,
feeling, or action. Must not all this
have its influence, and in the aggregate
a mighty influence on the reader? No
rejecting man can fail to see that the
fiftv-two visits in year OF carefully
conducted paper, intelligent, correct, ell
evated in its moral tone and withal inter
esting in its contents, must exert great
influence upon domestic life. Children
growing UP under such influence are Tar
more likely to be intelligent, correct In
their opinions and morals, and bette pre-
pared for the active duties of life, than
they could possibly have been without
it.-Brifi8h Banner.

PLASTER ON cLovER.-With the ex-
ception Of small district near the sea-
shore, clover is greatly benefited by the
application Of plaster of Paris. About
one bushel to the acre is, perhaps, the
most suitable quantity. Apply it on a
moist day, early in the spring. Ammon-
ia is constantly brought to the earth by
dews, rains or snow, and the plaster acts
as collector of this fertilising matter,
preserves it for the use Of the plant.
1t is fact undeniably proved, that if
sheep are allowed free access to SALT
they will never be subject to the disease
called the "rot."

To KEEP CHIMNIEs CLEAN.--Instead of
plastering the inside of chimnies in
the usual way, the Albany Cultivator
says, take morter made of one peck of
salt to bushel of lime, adding much
sand loan as will render it fit to work,
and then lay on a thick coat. If the
chimney has no offset for the SCOT TO
lodge on, it will continue perfectly clean
and free from danger of taking fire. A
trial Of three years warrants the assertion.
