one was not fair, nor full of grace,
Nor crown'd with thought of augbt beside
No wealth had she, of mind or face
10 win our love or raise our pride:
No lovers thought her check did touch.
No poets dream was round her thrown.
And yet we miss her-ah, too much,
Now-she hath flown.
We miss her when the morning calls.
AS one that mingled in our mirth:
We miss her when the evening falls
trlfe wanted on the earth!
Some fancy small or subtle thought
Is checked ere to its blossom grown;
Some chain is broken that we wrought,
Now-she hath flown!
NO sold good, nor hope defined,
Is marr'd now. she hath sunk in night:
and yet the strong immortal mind ..
is stopp'd In It's triumphant flight
Stern friend, what power is in tear,
What strength in one poor thought alone,
When all we know is, "She was here"
And-"She hath flown"

SORES ON HORSES AND CATTLE

A correspondent of the Maine Farmer,
in reply to an inquiry by another CORES.
pondent for a cure of bad sore on a
horses shoulder, gives the following pre-
scription:
Lime and lard are the best application
TO old. and bad sores, of any kind, that l
know, especially if The bone is affected
Take good stone lime, slake dry and
sift through fine seive. Put the flour in
bottle, cork tight, and keep in dark
place from light and air, and, it will keep
good for years. Take one part of lime to
three parts of lard, in bulk, and mix well,
cold, and apply a proper quantity TO the
sore, twice a day, and cleanse we'll each
time with soapsuds. If the sore descends
below the outward opening, it must be
opened 10 the bottom, or it will not heal
sound. If the bone be affected, the sore
probably will not heal, and ought not to
till the bone shall be healed Sores healed
under this treatment always heal sound.
If fungus be in the sore, this ointment will
clear ii all out; and keep it out.
The above proportions are about right,
but the applicant will soon learn TO vary
them if necessary. Some allowance will
be necessary for the different strength OF
the lime.
