NIGHT.

BY HENRY w. LoSaFELLoW.
The day ls done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night
AS a feather is waited downward
From an eagle in his fight.
see the light of the village
Clean through the rain and the mist.
And feeling OF sadness comes DER me-
That my soul cannot resist
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain,
Come read to ME some poem,
Some noble and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And Danish the thoughts of day.
Not from the bards sublime
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
through the corridors of time
For like strains of martial music.
Their mighty thoughts suggest
LIES endless toll and eudeavor;
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humble poet.
Who're songs gush from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
OF tears from eye lids start.
Who through long days Of labor,
And nights devoted of ease,
Still heard ia his soul tho music
OF wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse OF care,
And come like the benediction
That follows alter prayer.
Then read from the tr ensured volume
The poem OF thy choice,
And lend TO the rhyme ofthe poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that lnfest the day,
Shall fold up their tents like the Arabs.
And silently PASS AWAY

The Two Johns.

Little John came to see me one day.
He did as he was bid, and looked SO
smiling, and behaved so well, that every
one who saw him loved, him, and asked
him to come again. .,.. ..... A..
Little John came another day. He was
cross and noisy, and in an ill-temper, and
his ill-temper made him look quite ugly.
Nothing pleased him, and he seemed ready
toquarrel with every thing and every one,
and every one was glad when it was time
Tor him to go home. He was angry with
his little cousin, and threw her doll upon
the floor, and was all ready to strike her
when | came into the room. "Ah,n said /,
"this is not the John came to see me the
other day this must be some other John

Little "Alie."

"Mamma, when will it be spring" 7" said
Althea c., earnestly. She was almost
three years old, and / had never seen q
more beautiful child her cheeks and lips
full and red with health, her blue eye
kindling with excitement, and her form so
plump and round, that when | lifted her
to my knee she said, "I fat as butter"
"Why are you so anxious that it should
be spring, dear 2" said l, supposing it was
on account of the sunshine, birds, and flow
ers. "Alie will go to church in spring.
was her reply. "Why does Allie wish to
go to church 2" "God is there" she re-
piled solemnly. ado you love God, Al
thea a""O very, very much" Tomorrow
will be Spring, darling" And she ran
away singing, Tomorrow, to morrow; I
shall be so happy tomorrow" But she
was not quite satisfied. In a few minutes
she returned, saying, mamma, can 90
to church tomorrow, and hear them pray
and sing and preachl" mo, my dear, to.
morrow is Wednesday and it will then
be three days before the Sabbath" An
expression of disappointment clouded her
sweet face but when told that three days
would pass quickly, and that God made
the days, she seemed satisfied.
Some time through the night Mrs. c.
sent to me in hast that Althea was dying
Scarcely crediting my informant, rushed
to the house, but she was corpse Her
mother told me that several times after
left her, as if forgetful Of part of the con-
versation, she was singing "To-morow, to-
morrow; l shall be so happy tomorrow"
Each time when corrected, she seemed to
dismiss the subject but she had been
longing for spring, that she might 90 to
the house of God, and she could not at
once give up the idea, that with the first
day would commence her pleasure. Just
before sunset she complained of extreme
WEAKNESS, and soon dropped to sleep
When she awoke she was burning with
fever, and her father went for physician.
During his absence she becomedelirions
and when the physician approaced the bed
side, he turned away sadly, saying Madam
1t IS too late" Another physician was
summoned, and another, and forth even,
but of no avail. Her disease was scarlet
brain ferver' and in eleven hours from her
first complaining, her spirit had passed
away. We buried her on the morrow, a
balmiy, lovely day-the first of the spring.
And when the earth rang on the coffin
lid, her words breathed in our sorrowing
hearts, Tomorrow, tomorrow shall
be so happy Tomorrow Precious one,we
hope she had joined the assembly and
Church or the first born on high.

Collie and Bots in Horses.

a writer in the Southern Planter Thos.
>. Randolph( recommends large dose
OF laudanum or a weak solution of I've, for
collie IN horses. When the distcnsion is
such as to indicate dangerous accumula-
ton OF air, the medicine for hoven cattle,
VIZ: 2 drachms of chloride of lime, dissol-
we'd IN two quarts of water, to be repeated
within an interval of an hour, would pro-
badly be found effectual. This writer also
states that the generally received notion of
the action of bots, or grubs, OH the stom-
ach OF the horse, is entirely erroneous
and quotes the authority of some distin-
guished veterinarians ofEurope, as follows
"The bots cannot, while they inhabit
the stomach of the horse, give the animal
any pain, for they are fastened on to the
cutlcular or insensible coat They cannot
be injurious to the horse, for he enjoys the
most perfect health, while the cuticuar
coat of the stomach is filed with them.-
They cannot be removed by medicine, for
they are not in that, part of the stomach
to which medicine is conveyed; and if
they We're, their mouths are too deeplv
ly embedded in the muc,is for any medi-
cine that can be safely administered to af-
feet them" t Is ..' -.
Mr.. Randolph, also remarks "If the
horse is opened the moment he dies, they
are never found to have attacked the sto-
mach. If he is killed suddenly in health
and lies until he is cold, they are found
always to have eaten through the stom-
ach. The bots are licked off by the horse
and carried with the food into the stom-
ach, where they attach themselves firmly,
by means of hook on each side of the
mouth, to the mucus membrane. When
full grown they pass out with the food,
burrow in the ground and transform into
the fly. When the horse dies and his
food fails, it probably instructive in them
to cut their way out. In horse that died
from an inflammation of the stomach, the
mucus coat having extensively separated
they were found gathered upon the sound
parts which they had cut through, the in
famed portion having no traces of injury
from them. In supposing that grubs are
a disease of the horse, we have attributed
effects during life to causes happening af.
ter death-and what nostrums have been
forced down the throat of the poor horse,
to cure this imaginary disease, and with
what confidence has the stomach, perfor-
ated after death by the grubs, been shown
as the cause of death %

Bermuda Grass.

Passing the house of a friend, not long
since, we observed his hogs were in better
order than those of most of our neighbors
at this time of unprecedented scarcity of
grain. On enquiriug into the cause, he
informed us that he had given them but
very little corn-that he had Bermuda
grass patch which he occasionally plowed
up, and on the roots of which his hogs
kept in the order we saw them.
Would it not be well for each farmer to
have a field, according to the size of his
stock, set in this (by many condemned and
much abused) excellent grass, and kept
apart from his cultivated fields proposely
for his hogs in the winter, and for other
stock in the sum neri = We, have seen
enough written on the subject, to knowthat
many will be Mortified at the very sugges-
tion of introducing it on to any part Of a
farm. But we can assure such, that a
very narrow strip of woodland, and even
some such fence-rows as are not by any
. means unusual to be seen in this country,
will effectually stop its creeping progress.
Keep border of woods, or such fence
row around it, and to be careful to clean
your plow well before leaving the field and
we will obligate TO exterminate all that
leaps its circumscribed bounds. 1t ma
lures no seed, hence it cannot be scattered
Ia the excrements OF cattle, as Is not un,
frequently the caseswiths other grasses.
If our farmers and planters intended
raising then, own hogs and other stock, as
every one should do even if he produces
less cotton, instead of buying from Tennes-
sec and Kentucky, at the most extrava-
giant prices when we are least able to paw
them, it is high time we were turning our
attention to some auxiliary to the corn
crop. The pea, sweet potato and turnip
the clover, and the grasses, should each
one occupy its place on the farm. OF the
pea we can raise with our corn great
abundance, yearly, to fatten our pork in
the.falL And five plant the black or tory
varieties, to carry our stock hogs pretty
well through tho winter. Some are oppo-
sed togiying stock hogs peas--believing
they will cause the hogs to die the next
snmmer. We believe it is rather from
poverty than from Che effects Of peas that
they disy FatteB a. hog on corn, in the
fall or winter, and allow him TO become
poor In the Summer, and he is more apt
to die than one that has been kept lean
.slI the time. But If we fear the effects of
the pea, we might successfully culnyate
the sweet potato, which is believed by ma
my TO afford more foed on the same space
-ofland, than can be madeiR any other crop.
We know from experience, that with a
small addition of corn, hogs can fatten
kindly on them, and that the meat is
sweetsr and more juicy than when fed on
corn alone. iSh.9 E3iHN I'm

A Lesson for Farmers.

All the Bible is full of promises to those
who trust in God. A man must either be-
lieve the promises or give up the Bible, if
he Is honest with himself; and there are
circumstances in the occupations of far
mer which should remind him continually
of this, and make him more trustful and
liberal. l can hardly imagine good man
going forth into his fields, and seeing the
hope of the next year laid in the ground,
without remembering, at times, such stri-
king passages as these: There is that
scattereth and yet increaseth," "He that
soweth little shall reap little, but he that
soweth plenteously shall reap plenteously."
Moreover, the whole harvest is so evident
ly the work of God, from first to last
The manufacturer, if his produce is bad,
Justly taxes his men or his machinery
The tradesman, if he loses, blames his
want of foresight, or his unprincipled Gus
TONER'S But the farmer, having the best
workmen, the best tools, the best seed, the
longest experience, is still in the uncertain
ty, from first to last. Circumstances,
which he can neither foresee, nor, -foresee-
ing, control, keep him sensibly in Gods
hands-and, if he is wise, resigned and
trustful, be his fortune what it may. The
worm, the caterpillar, the fly, or drought,
and rain, cold and heat, his very friends
if they fail at the prospenng moment
render all his labors doubtful to the end
And therefore, being SO entirely and man
ifestly in Gods hands, he should rest salts.
fed, and not neglect his duty, confident
that he is more likely, not less likely, to
prosper, even though his aims are what
the world would consider rash but not
rash, because they are given to Him, and
with faith in him from whom he holds all
that he enjoys--Heygate. '
