TeHeth it not pleasant tale
OF bird. and bee and flower?
See, as .he bright drops fall, ,.
How swell the tiny buds
That gem each bare and leafess bough,
Like polished agate studs.
The alder by the brook,
Stands in her tasseled pride,
And the pale willow decketh her
As might beseem a bride.
And round the old oaks foot,
Where in their wintry play,
The winds have swept the withered leaves
See, the JIepetria!
tts brown and messy buds
Greet the first breath of spring,
And to It's shrine its clustered flowers,
The earliest offering bring
In rocky cleft secure,
The gaudy columoine
Shoots forth, ere wintry SHOWS have lieu .
A floral wreath to twine.
And many bud lies hid
Beneath the foliage scar ..... .........
Waiting springs warm and wooing breath
70 deck the vernal year.
When To-! sweet April comes,
The wild bird hears her voice, ...... ..-..
And through the grove on glanclng wing
Carols, rejoice! rejoice"
Forth from her earthly nest a. ....
The timd woo l-mouse steals, e..
And the blith squirrel on the bough
Her genial influence feels.
The purple hue of life
Flushes the teeming earth,
Above, around, beneath the feet
Joy, beauty, spring to birth! .....
But on the distant verge ..t
Ofthe cerulean'sky,
Old Winter stands with angry frown
And bids the syren fly.
He waves his banner dark
Raises his icy hand,
And Il fierce storm Of sleet and hail
Obey his stern command,
She feareth not his wrath,
But hides her sunny face -.,s
Behind oftcloud's feecy fold
For brief instant's space, '
Then looketh gayly forth
With smile of magic power, ...
That changeth all his icy darts
Toa bright diamond shower.
Capricious April, hail!
Herald ofall things fair,
IT'S thine to loose the Imprisoned streams,
The young buds are thy care.
To unobservant eye 3 1y
Thy charms are few, ween; NJ.
But he who roves the woodland paths
Where thy bIithe step hath been.
Will trace thee by the tufts ,aa #
Of fragrant early flowers, L
That thy sweet breath hath walked, to dec
The dreary forest bowers;
And by the. bursting buds
Tha. at thy touch unfold Ef3aA
To clotlie the tall trees naked arms #
With beauty all untold. s ..s
viii hear thy tuneful voice ar "
In the g!a leaping streams, -5'.
Ana catch thy bland, yet ftful smile.
In showers and sunny CLEANS.
Then welcome April, fair!
Bright harbinger of May!
Month Of blue skies and perfumed air
The young years holyday.

The question is often asked, whether
much is gained by cutting up hay, straw,
&c, to feed neat stock. Some, ,hing depends
on the Circumstances.
Ifyour hayi Of the first quality, your cat
tie will cat the whole without cutting, and
save you the labor. But If your fodder is
mostly poor, or fit has been injured in ma
king, you viii do well to cut it short and
mix something with it, to make it more pal.
atable. r
I We have had the coarse fodder cut fine,
and sprinkled with water, and by adding q
little meal and mixing the whole together,
our cattle have been wiutered at less expen-
Sc than on mcrchantabe hay. Cows in milk
live well on it, and it seems to be the best
way Of disposing ofhay that's notvery good.
Straw, also may be disposed of in this
way. We make it a saving, as we do by
hashing up meat that is not fat enough for
eating without an addition of bu tier, or
something that will improve the meat.
Tusks and corn tops, when well saved,
have much virtue in them; and most of it
goes into The manure heap, unless particula ar
at ention is paid to foddering. Cattle find
it difficult to bite off the stems, though they
place one foot on apart Of them, while they
pull with teeth and gums. sa. .t
Some farmers cut them up fine for their
cattle, and say they would doit even though
thestems would be worth nothing for fodder,
because of the trouble they make in over
hauling the manure. o a55
I When all the course fodder is cut short,
there will be no long manure; shovel viii
enter q heap, and when spread a harrow
will bury it sufficiently deep.--1ae PloagA'

THE MEXICAN BousDAHY G5a 81
sIoN.--lt has recently been stated ini
Congress and elsewhere, that largo
portion Of the territory acquired from
Mexico had been lost by the blunderaa
OF the Commissioner, Mr.. Bartlett,
now engaged running the boundary
line between the United States and; I.
Mexico, from their having started att
the wrong point. "Veritas,i the Wa
shington correspondent of the New
York Courier and Inquirer, thus sets
the matter right:
. q few indisputable f,cts will serve {
70 correct these mistakes, and at the
same time to do justice to worthy
oihcer who is notpresent to defend him-.
sell. A map Of Disturnell's was at
tached to the treaty, which was refer
req 10 as authority for fixing the bound
aries. According to that map point
north of El Paso, on the Rio Grande.
about 80 % was nnmed us the inter
secting initials for starting the line to-,
run to the western boundary of New,
Mexico. When the Commissioners
ct tho two governments reached the
ground, they discovered to their aston
isllment that the Rio Grandc was nctu-
ally nearly three degrees Of longitude
west of the description laid dowu on
the map. and FL Passo, instcad Of be-
ing narth Of SO, as there described
was really in 81 45. ~
Under these circumstances. Mr..
Bartlett proposed as his only resource
to fix the initial point on the parallel
Of latitude named in the treaty, and
then to extend the line westward ae;
many degrees Of longitude as were
originally contemplated, SO as to en-
brace the same extent of territory as
nearly as possible. This course was
pursued, and the result is satisfactory Z
If the boundaries had been run within
the short limitations, starting from tue
point OH the Rio Grandc where the
river was found to be, our possession
i'll New Mexico would not much ex-
