TIE DIGNITY OF AenIcuLTunE


What is the farmers dignity,
akel when was young;
And felt that woul gladly icc
Preferment so absurd to me
My prejudice was strong.
For see thought /, those awful paws
Rough as an unpruucd tree
On softer hands they CRATE like saws
To softer goods attach like claws
How vulgar that must be.
Their dress, too, all uncomely worn,
Helps mark them with disgrace
with labor often soiled and torn,
II seems a sign Of things low-born,
10 I'll a loWly place.
And then their labor-savc me, Lord,
Thought from such life;
Its dignity upon my word,
10 any man I d free accord,
Who willing bears the strife.
with woods and swamps, and brush aud briars
And rocks and stumps he fights
In dirt lie rolls, in filth he mires,
And seems to have no high desires,
For more refund delights.
Then where's the dignity, ask'd
OF agriculture
In its first syllable tits mask'd,-
II is dig, dig, dg-anl he, unask'd.
Canhaye it, who prefers.
Thus thought in my knowing youth
But yet chose no lot
And though my views were not uncouih,
l dubious grew Of the whole truth,
And sought farmers cot.
To view his ways aud means, and ends,
And whence his happiness,
lie show'd me first his fre-side friends,

Crowns of eartll's belssedness
His wife, his daughters, and n son,
Glowing with health's best hue,
Fast on my young affections won,
For they hal hoard in unison
Hearts innocent and true.
lie showed me thence his whole estate,
His Aocks and browsing herds;
His vines his fruit trecs--elr ly-late-
His groves and grain-delds all elaic,
And watch'd my answering words.
And then 1 nsk'd does all this toll
Find compensation eyer'
Reclaiming Wild reluctant soil.
That makes thy brow with moisture boil,
Is It VAIN hardship NEVER
The Turner feelingly replied,
Young man pity thee
l once TO Incidence applied,
Aud sought her hand TO he my guide,
To honor-dignity.
Her treaehrous smiles aliur'd me fast,
To sin and misery
Aided by tolly's with'ring blast,
Disease and weakness, omens cast,
OF fearful destiny.
But just in time, friend met,
To profit by advice
In labors paths, my feet he set,
And charged me never to forget,
That INCIDENCE Is VICE.

Tha, labor has rewards
'Tis thence our truest pleasures flow,

And inward joy affords.

Makes mind and body free;

WISTERING Cows.-At recent Farmers
Club meeting in New York. a member made
the following suggestion in reference TO the
winiering Of cows; ''lf were to have cows
winlered just 10 my liking, they should be fed
on crrsialks, and fproft were consulted, these
by all means, should 6rsi be run through a
stalk cutter. This, in my estimation, is saw
ing of at least one-fourlh their value. Nv
method Of feeding is TO give each animal bas.
ket full Of chopped stalks; they will cat them
clean, but 10 save all, throw what they leave
in the managers to my colts, who soon dispose of
them, and without remainder These cows
which are in milk, are fed a slop ofbuckwheat
bran, night and morning. those not yet come
in are given two or three ears of corn al each
feeding, until they begin to spring bag, when
they are fed once day, The same as the cows
which are MIXED. Ia this way cows may be
kept in thriving condition, aud | believe a
greater yield Of milk and butter can be Obtained
than from any other mode of feeding"

The University of Michigan.

1t is with pleasure we make, Of whatever
pertains to the prosperity and advancement Of
the University Of Michigan. We are there
fore glad To give place to the following para
graph from recent issue Of the Detroit i'd
vertiser.
We are glad to learn that gentleman of
this city proposes to endow the Fine Arts
Department Of the University of this State,
with series Of castles from the most celebrated
antiques. This will be done on a large and
liberal scale. They include copies from the
Greek sculptuses-many Of the Roman, the
Assyrian and Egyptian. 1t is intended to
impart new and deeper interest in tbi, de-
partment
Such collection rs lie contemplated, will
not only furnish complete history of the
Fine Arts in the ancient world, but will H.
lustrate tho Poetry, tho Religion, the man
ners and culture of nations lorg since cxtant
The number apt size of these will require
rooms fitted up especially for their accommo-
dation, and facilitate the study of students.
We understand that Prof. Bradish will 90
to Europe to select and secure such as will
be most suitable and valuable for the depart
ment-such as will render these collections
unique.
1t will contain models Of some tho most
celebrated monuments of Egypt and Rome,
and the temples Of Greece, from which most of
our public buildings originate, various modi-
fed.
At the time when the importance of Art
and such a collection TO the University was
first present TO the Regents, some three or
four years ago, by Prof. Bradish, there was
not an Institution in Amcrica--not College
that pretended to even mcgro collection to
illustrate art.
Since then somc progress has been made
in this direction.
But tho opportunity is still ours to render
this endowment the most choice and splendid
of any in America. fl bltJ oa

Danger Of Wearing Hoops in a High wind.
During the wind on Saturday afternoon,
and while tho dust was circulating SO thick
that no one could see more than the length
of an eyeash in 'front.' lady, dressed in the
most elegant style, in coming round one Of
the corners. was lifted off her feet by the
force Of tho wind acting on the great expanse
Of surface which. she presented to ita The
wind unfortunately did not set her down in
the same position in which she was before
being taken up, but turning her gently on
one side, it laid her endwisc on the sidewalk,
where she commenced series Of astonishing
gyrations rolling over and over on the hoops
Of the skirts, and exhibiting species Of 10
comoiion in which is not generally apprecia-
ted, and which may come into fashion, with
high winds and large circlets Of light mate
rial. As the lady thus rolled over and over,
several persons were knocked down and pass
ed over by the lady and the hoops, without
ever knowing that anything had bent them.
Fortunately for the lady, the dust and the
astonshment Of the people out of doors per-
mitted but few to witness this new method
of getting along stiff breeze, and keeping
np full sail at the santc time. u.As We came
round corner, we found the lady wedged
between a lamp post and hydrant, and i'm
mediately assisted her to an upright instead
of recumbent position.-[Det. Advertiser.

ALL IN FUN.-Thc Richmond Enquirer
pleads the plea that its late articles in favor
of the revival of the African slave trade were
all in fun. We shall probably next learn that
all the late disnnion plots and harangues of
Wise, Toombs, Slidell, Mason, Clingman, and
such, were all in fun-that the assault of
Brooks upon Sumner was all in fun--that tho
doings Of the border ruffians, under poor
Pierce, in Kansas, have all been in fun-and
that the whole o. the late despotic terrorism
of the South, and the threats and plots Of
the ferocious disunionists and treasury rob-
bers, are but tho various parts Of broad and
amusing joke. Perhaps we shall have .
change in fun in month or two. Our sea-
son. Of fun will commence with the Inaugural,
ton. Our Southern blood and thunder chaps
have had their share.--[ N. Y. Herald.
