The Farmer.

Success to the jolly old farmer,
Who sings at the tail of his pillow,
The monarch Of prairie and forest,
'Tis only TO God he may bow;
lie is surely fortunate fellow,
He raises his bread and his cheese,
And though hard is his labor in summer,
In winter he lives at his ease.
When the reins of chill winter are broken,
And spring comes to gladden. and bless;
When the focks in the meadow are sporting,
And the robin is building her nest,-
The farmer walks forth to his labor,
And manly and firm is his tread,
As he scatters his seed for the harvest,
That yields to the nation their bread.
His banks are all chartered by nature,
Their credits are ample and sure;
His clerks never slope with deposits,
Pursued by the curse of the poor.
His stocks are the best in the market,
His shares are the shares of the pillow,
They bring the bright gold to his Golfers,
And pleasure and health to his brow.
When his crops are all gathered and sheltered,
When his cattle are snug in the fold,
He sits himself down by the freside,
And laughs at the tempest and cold.
A stranger to pride and ambition,
His duty he strives to fulfil,
Determined whatever betide him,
To let the world jog as it will.

THE VALUE OF INDIAN CoRS.-For the following
interesting information in regard to this little un-
derstood kind OF food, we are indebted to Hunts
Merchants Magazine:
"By those who do not know. too scientific
to profit by the experience of nations Of men and
herds of fat cattle, Indian corn. RICE buckwhea', &c,
only considered good fodder. Liebig states that
il we to 60 naked the Indians, if we were
subject to the degree of cold the Samoiedes,
we should he able 10 consume the half of calf and
a dozen candles at single meal. During excessive
fatigue in low temperature, wheat flour fails TO
tain the system. This is owing to deficiency in the
elements necessary to supply animal heat and the
strong desire for oeag substances under these
circumstances has led to the belief that animal food
is necessary for human support. But late scientific
experiments and a better acquaintance with the
habits of the North American Indians, have shown
that a vegetable oil answers the same purpose
inal food, that one pound Of parched Indian corn,
equal quantity Of corn meal made into bread, is
more than equivalent to two pounds Of fat meat.
"Meal from Indian corn contains more than four
times as much oeagnous matter as wheat -four !;
more starch, consequently capable Of producing
more sugar, and though less gluten, in other mpor-
tant compounds it contains nearly much dtroge-
nous material. The combination of alimentary
compounds in Indian corn, renders il alone the mix
cd diet capable Of sustaining man under the most
extraordinary circumstances, In it, there is natu-
raj coaescence Of elementary principles which
stitute the basis Of organic life, that exists in 9TH
er vegetable production. In ultimate composition,
in nutritious properties, in digestiby and in its
the different climates Of the earth meal is cap
able of supplying of the absolute wants Of the
adult human system than any other single substance
