THE MAID OF TIE MILL.

There's bthe little maid with dark rolling eve,
And fine flowing hair OF a jet. glossy dive
And lips with the cherry that well could compete,
And peerless In beauty from head to the feet;
And though lovely she be by nature designed,
Yet lo1elicr far are the charms of her mind
So honest in hsart and "a constant in will
No match can be found for the Maid of the NH.
Wherever she rests, wherever she cocs
Blow softer the winds and blooms fairer the rose
And the glance, in crowd, of her eve beaming lre
Makes lsssies TO envy. and addies admire:
But, like all lovely beings. she is never so sweet
As when lighting the gloom of some lonely retreat.
When nature without is all tranquil and still.
Save the ripple that mirrors the Maid of the Mill.
had met her full oft at the close of the day.
As along the green mead would musinyly straw,
And her modest demeanor and i!IIcct air
Brea.hei stronger Of heaven than riortas share
And much dii muse if some native bower
Had blown into beauty so lovely flower.
And little | thought. she passed DER the hill,
Such heauty belonged 10 the Maid Of the Mill.
And often in church dfl her presence so sweet
Dscoy s;raS glance 10 her own corner seat,
And my eyes were delighted, although at the cost
OF mary a prayer and n sermon all lost;
And oSsn l unused in S.xt mansion cot
So brilliant str Should be sought:
With affection for S&.sSat The Maid of the MiIs
But it ciancei as Snclea one hri-ht summer day,
Aiown the green meadow happened TO straw
And seated myself meath a low willow tree,
Where the water still. and the nibbles re free
hen little black cloud broke the skys stilIy rest
And marshall,d clan in the gloomy west
And forc"l me for shelter 10 he from the rill
And knock at the door of the Cot Of the Mill
The wind was full high. and the thunder did roar
And the big, heavy drops gan in torrents 10 POUR
As in front of the cottage impatient stood,
Aud kHcched at the door full loudly and rude;
knew net the fairy-iike voice from within.
As growlsd in reply I'm 10 the skim
But guess OF the st,ame that nv bosom did thrill
As confronted stcJd with the Maid of the Mill,
Her msidenlv gesture anil roul-soothin- strain
Soon rendered nv feeble sPolory vain,
And ne'er shall forget the sn.cIlike air.
As she Dotionri f,.lt in su oldfashiou- i chair:

of course, would have been governed by ma
jority. But AZ they were not, the troops Of q
single Stale ofSparta, remained TO sacrifice them
selves for her laws, not for that of Greek union.
And by that act Of devotion, they taught the
Greeks the great lesson of their power, and Of
the weakness of Persia And il was not until
a union was formed of the States Of Greece and
as with u.s. the commercial and manufacturing
State Of Attica and her friends undertook TO
plunder the agricultural State of Sparta and
her neighbors, that war arose between the two
classes of States, and although then, as now, it
more ships and more money and could easily
conquer Sparta g. CO., the result proved that
the ,ricultural States were the most powerful.
Mr.. WEBSTER speaks in high terms of the
faculty of our people for selfgovernment He
thinks that California, or even town meeting
has more ca acity for it, than The Germans,
Italians, or French Well, if this be so, surely
there is nothing very extravagant in the idea that
an old and eminent State like South Carolina
could get along with government Of her own.
Mr. WEBSTER has good deal to say in this
speech against secession. And his argument is
that there are no intolerable," grievances"
to justify it: No suppression" to "prostrate"
or destroy happiness" Well does Mr.. WEB
sTER suppose that free people will wait until
they are prostrated before they resist! Why he
himself on former occasion exulted that our
ancestors had not so behaved He said they did
not 60 to war for the amount of stamp tax Or
a tea duty. No, they resisted the principle as
sumed by the British government, they went
to war against preamble" to an act of Parlia-
ment. And we say that whenever a people sink
so low that they are incapable of resisting on
principle, whenever they are so stupid that they
cannot look beyond the present moment to con.
they never will resist until it is too
late. They are fit to be slaves. AS for the con-
fidence of Mr.. WEBSTER in Virginia and his
p aise Of her Loyalty, it sounds strangely from a
disciple of HAMILTON to the native State of JEF-
FERsoN.
when the Greeks send presents let Troy beware.
This love of Union and praise Of Union are
entirely overdone. They have become super
stitous and idolatrous. Tho mercy of the
Most High, the results of personal energy and
principle the productions Of nature, are ascrbed
to the Union.
We can understand this recent passion for the
Union in the North. A government that gives
to that section the exclusive fruits of our
conqucsts and treaties, that taxes enormously
and unequally and expends chiefly in the same
region will of course find very loyal friends in
that section.
But for this very reason the South grows
cool The Union is rather too expensive to
her. II is true that good many of her demo
gogues and asprants, that hope to win the spoi.s
and honors of the federal government for them
selves, are still engaged in this camor, but the
deusion is passing away, and the time ap-
proaches when the government will either be
compelled to return to its proper functions, be
left to exercise it's authority over those who
love and are beloved go well.

CuTe of Wens in Cattle.

In answer to the inquiry of Mr.. Todd, in
our March number, respecting The cure OF
wens, we have received several letters.
j. Cummings, Huntington, CT, describes
three kinds of wens. The first he calls a
''bone wen" and thinks always appears on
the jaw. lie says-''it will sometimes eat
holes through the jaw in four months; but
may remain a year or more without doing
much injury. There is no cure for this wen.
There is no better way than 10 begin 10 feed
the animal as high as it will bear as soon as
The wen makes it's appearance, and let the
butcher take the animal as soon as it is fat
enough" The "flesh weu," he SAYS is easl-
ly cured. He directs that it be cut out when
it has reached the size Of a hens egg. This
kind never adheres to the bone. He states
that he has taken out SIX at a time from an
OK of five years old--tlle largest the size of u
goosc's egg. The third which he describes
forms near the bone, but never breaks ofitself,
owing to the thickness Of the flesh and skin
over 1t. He directs that it be opened on the
lower side, so that the the matter may read
lily discharge from it. He says he has known
this kind TO discharge for a month-the mat
ter having the appearance of a rotten egg,
and very offensive to the smell. II is recon-
mended to rub tar round the opening, in
warm weather TO keep off flies.
IL. Collins of Burkshire, Tioga county,
writes--''In reference 10 wens on jdcS of cat
tie, | will hazard the assertion that there is
seldom, if ever, u cure effected The cause,
| think, in all cases, is u bruise on the jaw,
or defective teeth, ulceruting the jaw.bone
and creating the tumor called wen. lcane
10 this conclusion years ago, from slangh-
tering cattle effected in this way; from eX-
aiming the mouths Of those and others |
have known, | I'm confident that in every
case like the one described by Mr.. Todd,
there was defective teeth against the tumor.
To extract the defective teeth, when the tu-
NOR is first discovered, may, perhaps effect a
cure, yet think it doubtful"

Whata Holman can Do.

Many people turn up their noses at what
they call "dIrly work." as though all honest
labor was not cleaner than many kid'gloved
ways of swindling ones way through the
world, Rather than owe our living to the
latter, we would infinitely prefer TO shake
carpets or sweep chimneys at fifty cents per
day. A day or two since we learned an IN
structive bit of history touching u doer Of
dirty work'--a hoffman. No matter where
he was born; he were none the worse for
being a Turkmau or Irishman. He camo
thy, and honest. lie could get no employ
but hod-carrying, and no carried SO we'll as
to earn at once his dollar day. He pro-
cured cheap, but good board aud lodgings;
spent none Of his earnings in groceries or
low places; attended church on the Sabbath;
educated himself evenings; laid up money,
and at the end Of five years bought a lot in
the city, and built a pretty cottage. In one
year more he found a good wife, and used
the cottage he had before rented OUT
For these six years no had steadily CARR ed
the hod. He was noted a worker, an acknowl.
edged scholar, and a noble pattern of u man.
On the opening ofNhe eighth year his talents
and integrity were called To n more prnfta-
Bile account, He embarked as partner in u
business already well established. This day
ho is worth at least Sl00, 900; has a lovely
wife and two beautiful children; a home that
is the centre of brilliant social and %inteili-
gent circle, and he is one of the happiest
and most honored OF men, as far as he is
known. So much has become of a holman,

Foot-rot in sheen.

There are various modes oftreating this
disease, but we know Of none more SIMPLEX
efrectual than an application of blue vitrol,
R. Herrick; of Essex, VT, describes his
mode of treatment in the Boston CultivaIor,
as follows:
''For ono hundred sheep, from 2 to q lbs,
oil of vitrol, l 10. blue vilrol pnlverized, |
ID. burnt alum, dissolved in four quarts of
soft water, But the main thing is yet to
come. The hoof must be cleaned and pared;
cut TO the bottom of the sore, but be careful
not to draw blood, for that will prevent see
ing the diseased part. Clean and pare till
the hoof is white all over; then dip II into
the above preparation. Repeat the pairing
and dipping once in ten or twelve days, till
all are sound. Three TO five times will or
dinarily effect a cure. The foot rot is much
more easily cured in cold than hot weather."
