THE FLAG.

When Freedom from her mountain helght'
TJnfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with the gorgeous Dies
The milky baldric Of the skies;
And striped its pure celestial white
With stfeakings of the morning light
Then, from his mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol Of his chosen land.
"Flag of the free, hearts only home,
By angel hands to valor given,
Thy stars have lit the western dome,
And all thy hues were born in Heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet:
While breathes the foe that falls before us;
With Freedoms soil beneath our teet,. :.
And Freedoms banner streaming DER rs"

We heard an experienced farmer re.
mark a few years ago, that hi, kory Gu,
at the right season, would make a more
durable fence ,lian the best chesnut cut,
as is usual with farmers, in the early
spring. He appealed to stubborn facts
in support of his theory, and We find in
the Patent Office report the following
statement from William Painter of Con.
cordville, Pennsylvania, which confirms
The theory. We commend The matter to
The attention of our agricultural readers.
"During an experience of more than
forty years, as a plain, practical farmer,
| have taken much interest in ascertain.
ing the best season for telling timber,
and | now state, with confidence, lha,
fencing timber, such az all kinds Of oaks,
chesruts, red hickory, and walnut, cut
from the middle of July to the last Of
August, will last more than twice as long
as when cut in winter or common bark
ing time in spring. ...E. -
For instance: cut a sapling, say five
or six inches in diameter, Tor a lever, in
the month of August, and another OF
similar quality and size in winter or
spring. l know if the first is stripped
of its bark, (which, a. the pfesen, time,
runs well,) it will raise, as a lever, al
least twice the weight that can be raised
by the latter. Another great advantage
derived from telling timber in the las,
running Of the sap, (.he time above spec.
ified,l is, that it is neither subject TO dry
rot, nor to be injured by worms; while
oak cut at this season, if kept off the
ground, will season through two feet in
diameter, and remain perfectly sound
many years; whereas. if cut in winter or
spring, it will be perfectly sap.rotten in
two years.
Mr.. Emerson, in his reports on the
trees and shrubs of Massachusetts, as
serts that the soft maple cut IN Septem-
Der is three times more lasting than ash
or walnut.
