The Poetry of Agriculture.

The principles of Agriculture are cx.
ceedingly simple. That they might be
made SO, God himself was the Grst great
planter. He wrote its laws, visible. in
the brightest ,loveliest and most intelligi.
BILE characters, everywhere, upon the
broad bosom of the liberal earth in
greenest leaves, in delicate fruits. in be.
guiling and delicate flowers But he
does not content himself with this alone.
He bcstows the heritage along with the
example lie prepares the garden and
the home, before he creates the being
who is to possess them lie fills them
with all those objects of sense and senti-
ment which are to supply his moral and
physical necessities. Birds sing in the
boughs above him, odors blossom in the
air, and fruits and flowers cover the air
with glory to which that of Solomon,
in all his magnifcence, was vain and val.
uelcss. TO His hand we owe these fair
groves, these tall ranks of majestic trees,
these deep forests, these broad plains
covered with vcrdurc aud these mighty
arteries Of food and river, which wind
them along, identifying them with the
loveliest inequalities, and irrigating them
with seasonable fertilization. Thus did
the Almighty planter dedicate the great
plantation TO the use of that various and
wondrous family which was to follow.
His home prepared-supplicd with re-
sources, adorned with every variety of
fruit and flower, and chcckercd with a.

TITLES IN THE TURKISH EMPIRE -
The frequent use of the words snItan,
porte, &c, in the newspapers publishing
accounts of affairs in Turkey at the pros
cnt time, is enormously understood by
many persons.
The Sublime Porte is the official title
Of the government of the Ottoman En-
pire, and not the title of any officer Of
the government, as many suppose it to
be.
Pacha is the governor Of province,
and according to the Importance of his
province he is distinguished by one. two
or three tails. Every pacha has his own
army in his province, distinct from tho
grand army of the empire. A pacha
with three tails has the power to punish
any gent who seOms to threaten the gen
eral safety
Bey is the sub governor under the
pacha.
The Dvan is the council of the state
and consists of the principal ministers.
The Reis Effendi is high chancellor Of
the empire and stands Mt the head Of all
the body of attorneys-which body is
thought to contain tho best informed
men of the nation
Cadi is sort Of judge or justice of
the peace. To order the bastinado on
common people, to impose a fine on a
rich Greek or European, to condemn a
thief to bo hanged, is about all the duty
of an ordinary Cadi.

Unruly Cattle.

The way to make cattle brecchy, il,
to begin with them when they are young.
First put calf into box so small that
he can just jump out. Then for food or
frolic he will jump out. After he has
jumped out few times, put him behind
two boxes or barrels and leave n hole
large enough for him to put his head out.
Then he will be likely to put his head
out and push withall. For when a fence
is too high, he must know how to push
it down. If you tic him up, use a cord
that he can break. And when he has been
taught in that way three or four months
then undertake to wean him. Let him
break out and suck the COW about once in
three weeks during the summer. Then
always after that call him breechy.
Then take a great heavy board oil
plank and hang it on his head. And he
will soon get used to that; and then yor
must tie rope around his neck fastcn
ed to long clog. But before night ht
will get used to that, and will be tho
wrong side of the fence Then tie the
the clog to the hind foot and if thu
calf has come to be n COW, she will give
just about as much milk as | think she
will.
But if an unruly creature falls into
your hands, and you cannot got rid of i,
without too great sacrifice, let me tel
you how to hamper it. Instead Of Q
board take piece of good thick upper
leather big enough to cover the
cows whole face. With two stringi
hang it on her horns Then with long
string fasten the leather to the head JUS
below her eyes. The object is to Sc
blind her, thai she cannot LOOK forward
nor sideways. Then she must not bt
exposed to other cattle so as to &c
hooked.
Then she will soon 60 to feeding an(
will do we'll. After she has done trying
the fence, loosen the blind and givo he
a little opportunity to see. And soon, i
your fence is reasonable, you will tax,
off the blind altogether. s. NJ.

EA Lady Mary Wortley Montague,
who figured in the fashionable as we'll

said that the most minute details oil
household economy become elegant and
refined when they arc ennobled by sen.
timent, and they are truly ennobled
when we attend to them, either from a
sense of duty, or consideration for a pa.
rent, or love to husband. To furnish

a commonplace affair, shared with up,

merely arranging a meal with my cook

many pleasures, and afford her far more
delights than the games and shows which

ny MARY D BELL.

Waiting at Heavens golden gate
There stood n mortal, bathed in tears,
Whose sorowins brow the hand of fate
Had marked with many shadowy fears
To Heavens angel oft he'd prayed;
Open TO me thy Golden Gate;
Long upon Earth I've weary strayed."
But guardian angels answered wait"
within thy shadowy gate have passed.
The flowers of my earthly love;
Pale death their budding forms did blast
Transplantlng them TO courts above"
The angel answered." Heart, be strong
The trials on Earth, oh, NEE ky bear:
We're weaving wreaths without thorn,
For fearful souls OF Earth to wear"
The Autumn came. The reapcrs' song
Was waited mid its golden wheat;
AT Heavens gate, when morning dawncd
That mortal knceled deaths shaft TO meet
The harvest moon in beauty rose
Upon new-made grave she cast
Her mellow rays. A life had closed
A soul the Golden Gate had passed.
