and it is hard work for them,-they have
to root away the dyke, and crasct under.
l irtend to make more the coming season,
and shall put board one foot wide at
the bottom, and the rest wire, and that
will stop anything commonly kept in an
enclosure, ......r. ,.-g
Now as to the expense. The dyke was
two days work Of three persons and one
yoke Of oxen, Ss; posts, 12O pieces, cost
so; setting, 2 days, work $3.50; wire
Sl4; top board, 50; putting on wire and
boards, 2 days, $2;-making the entire
cost $780,. -l'"
This brings the expense at something
over fifty cents a rod, but the actual ex-
pense to me was much less, as had some
boy help, and the prices in this estimate of
work are higher than paid. The scraper
used in making the dyke was made Of l
l-3 inch stuff about six feet long, two
feet wide, and edged with an old mill saw;
it would scrape very rapidly, and do its
work better than an Irishman with
shovel. The actual expense of such
fence need not exceed 40 to As cents per
rod .NA
This fence, with the wires well painted,
will last longer than any other fence usu-
ally built on farm, requires less repairs,
and is, think, a little safer, or more so.--

Imported Hay.

The annual influx of Ohio baled hav
is again setting in at our landing. Now
let us think of this! An acre of land
that will make eight barrels of Indian
corn, will make ton and a half of clo-
":Hr hay, or hundred bushels of Irish po-
tatoes. 4. field hand can cultivate 20
ores in corn, OF he en- cultivate 20 acres
in bov an, 4 five in potatoes. The corn in
our market is now W.. "'n "i,'o P.i -
SO that the years labor of a na.. '"''," y"
ting corn, yields S24O-whic years IL.
Dor of the same hand eultivatinG hav and
potatoes, yields $500 in hay and $500 in
potatoes-Ss0O against S24O. Think of
this and yet the great staple of Tennes-
see is corn, shipped to distant markets
How long will our farmers continue TO
exercise such economy! Their land is
wearing out under the corn crop. Clover
t'ilage would rest and fcrtilze it. We
trust to- see speedy change in this con-
ditioh of things.-NashriHe Banner.

At morn hath oped its glowing bosom

At morn hath oped its glowing BOSOM
But when that love is fruitless-vain,
And derived unknowh-untold to sleep
It's dream of bliss is mingled then,
With agony intense and deepl. g.s
Yet there are times when thus we love,
When all our hopes must lifeless prove,
And vain each dream of bliss we cherish,
And ev'ry tear, and ev'ry sigh,
AS footprints on the strand that perish.
Yet we must live on--or die!
Twas thus that Chuli, in that hour,
When first she felt loves virgin blush,
Felt, too, the shade of fate's durk power,
Upon her tender heart-string crush!
She knew she loved that bright-browed one
Whose fate and hers must part forever;
She felt the hour come swiftly on,
Which would her dream of rapture sever
She knew twas misery, death to her,
Yet could she not her love defer?
But growing still with deeper yeaming,
Within her soul the flame was burning.
And as the vain and fiery dream,
Dwelt in her soul with whitening breath,
All her young love of life became,
The fondest, deepest, prayer for death.
The sun was setting in the West,
Whilst hues of glory marked his way;
And realms of beauty opcd their breast,
TO greet the mighty god ofday,
As that knightly band went forth,
Vending towards the fatcful North;
And wondering still, rs when at first,
Upon their startled gaze they burst,
The Indians watched the light that fell,
From their rccedng coats of mail.
In floods of gold the sun went down.
The last trace of that band was gone
But still with long and lingering gaze,
The Indians watched the fading rays
Save she who had been deepest moved
Save she who had so strongly loved
Who, when she saw that band depart,
Felt desolatc and brokcn-heartcd--
Whose life was dcath--whosc love dspair-
Sad Chuli watched no longer there!
No longer in Ocala's walls,
Was heard young Chull's happy song;
No longer Mt her joyous calls,
The youthful warriors eager sprung.
Long did Ocala's maidcn's gricvc,
For her, the pure, the loved, the mild;
And long close of gentle roe,
Chanted for her their drges wild.
Twas said that in the Silver Spring,
Dcspairiug Chuli found her grave
And that those lights whose glcamugs fling
Such streams ofbcauty through its wave
Do all their brilliant hucs inherit,
From Chulis pure and loving spirit
That there the Indian maidens went.
Where Chuli's soul immortal smiled;
That there her sire his footsteps bent,
TO gaze upon his bcaming child.

Fences Without Rails.

Three years ago last September, when
commenced farming, I built siSry rods Of
wire fence. In the first place | built n
dyke 10y plowing and scrapinG twice on
each side of the intended line of fence
making Q ditch about one foot or fourteen
inches in depth, and the dyke about
eighteen inches above the natural surface.
| then set posts eight feet apart; three feet
in the ground, four feet above; nut on
four wires Of No. 0, and at the top a board
8 1-2 inches wide, The wires were fast
ened at each end Of the sixty rods to a
large wrought spike, and attached to the
other posts BY wedge-shaped iron pins
made Of common nail-rods, with hole
through the head, through which the wires
were drawn When the wires were strain
ed, the pins were driven INTO the posts
sufficiently to bind tho wires and prevent
slipping. - !

The day is cold, and dark and dreary;
1t rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mou'dering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
=, And the day is dark and dreary.
My lie is cold, and dark and dreary;
1t rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering past,
But the hopes OF youth fall thick inlhe blast,
And the days are dark and dreary. !
Be still sad heart! and cease.repiring
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate Of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

BENEFIT OF ArrRENTIcEsnIP.-T Is
an important feature in the regulation ot
masler-mccllanic, which is frghIful to some
kind parents heart and that is the five 10

learns trade must submit To. But il is an
excellent discipline. II takes the lad at a

result Of an apprenticeship where both mas
