THE GRAVE OF THE YEAR.

Be ys hushd ev'ry toll land each turbulent motion
That encircles the heart In LIES reaeherous snares
And the hour that Invites to the calm Of devotion,
Uhdisturbed by regret-unneumbered with cares.
How cherries the late blooming face Of creation
Weary Time seems to rest in bis rapid career,
And painting awhile midst his own desOlatlOn,
Looks exultlngly back-On the grave Of the year
Hark the blast whistles loud and the shadows closing
That enwraps his broad path in the mantle Of night
While pleasures gay sons are securely rspcsng,
UndsmAyd at the wrecks that have numbered bis eight
From yon temple where fashions bright torches are lighted
The voaries in throngs eroWnd with garlands appear,
And yet their warm hopes BY spectre anrishted,
Assemble to dance round the grave Of The year.
OF hate the stale banquet the traers have tasted,
When think Of the Ills Of LIES eOmiOrtlsss day
How the flowers ny childhood their verure have wasted
And the friends Of my youth have been stolen away
They know not how vain Is the warmest eEdeavUr @
To WOO the kind moments 90 sighted when near;
When the hours that oblivion has cancelled forever,
The hand has entOmbed In the grave Of the year.
Since the last solemn reign Of this day Of reflection
What crowds have resigned lies ephemeral breath,
How many have shed the last tear Of detection,
And closed The dim eye in the darkness Of deathi
How many have sudden their pilgrimage ended, .
Beneath the dark pail that now covers their bier;
Or, TO deaths lonesome valley have gently deesndsd,
And found their last bed with the grave Of the year.
It's the year that late its promise disclosing,
Rose bright on tie happy--ths careless, the gay;
Who now On t'elr pillows Of dust are rspOsIng,
Where the sod presses cold their bosOms Of clay
Then talk not Of blss-while lie smile Is expiring,
Disappointment still browns Il In miserss' tear; .
Reflect and be wise, for the day 10 retiring,
Aud tomorrow will dawn on the grave Of The year.
Oh trust no, the CLEANS Of lies ptrishing taper,
So falnty that shln.s DER the wanderers head,
Twill expre-when no may dSpel the thick vapor,
No dawn Of the morning revisit Thy bed. ....
As breaks the white foam the boisterOus bllOw,
So the visions Of pleasures and NE dsappear;
Like nghtWnd that mournS thro the boughS Of the willow
Or these shades that meet round the grave
Yet while and around Us, no seasons vii flourish.
But silence for each her dark mansions prepare;
When beauty no lenger her roses shall nOurish, 4.
Nor the lily o'erspread the van cheek Of dsspairi
But the eye shall with lusire unfadlng be brghtend,
When Ii wakes to true bliss In yOn orient sphere;
By suh.beams Of splendoF immortal enllghtsnd,
Never more to 20 down on the grave Of the year.

agriculture.

sheep and Cows Together-changing Pastures.
It has been sad that "no grazing farm
should be without, at least small hock Of
sheep-for it has been fund that as large a
number Of cattle and horses can be kept
with Us without them, and without any in.

be true, but It will not hold good Il sheep
and cows are allow ed the range Of the whole
pasturage at the same time during the sum-
mer. Although there may be abundant for,
age for their supply through the season, it
will be found that certain portions will be
closely grazed, while other spots will remain
untouched until too ripe or rank for use.
Upon this point variety Of opinions
have been entertained, hut practical men join
in the views above expressed-that sheep
and cows should not be pastured together.
SheCp have as great relish for the best
pasturage as any animal kept by tho farmer,
and perhaps greater dislike to coarse, rank
grass than cows, ard CO sequently they run
over that which might otherwise be eaten
by neat stock, and on which they would
thrive freely. It is true that they consume
some plants refused by cattle and horses.
but this advantage is Of little comparative

SENATOR SEWARD TAkES DowE-The New
York Tribune points out a laundering an
achronism in tho speech which Senator Seward
made on tho Atlantic Telegraph, at Auburn, N.
Y, the other day The Tribune says:
In Senator Stewards speech at Auburn, on the
Atlantic Telegraph, we lind the following pass
age: "While Adams and Jefferson in their
closets were studying the model of that new
system of government based on the rights of
man, and preparing the people of these then
British Colonies for its acceptance, a mechanic
printer in Philadelphia, franklin, was perse-
yeringly engaged in identifying the lightning of
the skies with the electricity winch peryades
the earth, and subjecting that hitherto fearful
element to the service of mankind" This kind
of attempt at drawing parallels and grouping
facts is very attractive but also very dangerous
Nine times out of ten, these rhetorical fonrishes
will not bear close examinations. Inthe above
passage the orator, in his wish to be striking,
falls into curious anachronism. Frankln
made his great discovery Of. the identity Of cleo
tricity and lightning in the Summer of l752.-
John Adams at that time was sophomore in
Harvard College, and Jefferson schopl boy in
his tenth year. The Revolution at that time
had not been thought Of stillsless any new sys-

ARRv&L OF 4nK ARARiA. ! The most interest

ARRIvAL OF TnE ARABIA. - The most interest
ing feature 1.-THE foreign. news, u. the Cunard
steamer Arabia, in this mornings telegraph
columns, is the account Of the landing of tho
Agamemnon.at yalentia Bay. It will be seen
that she had a hard throughsofit for the FIRST
three days after parting company with the Nj
agara, in mid. ocean, and that all on board gave
over any idea of ever laying the cable, or that
cable atleast The more welook into this whole
matter, the more we are impressed with its
miraculous phases. Mr.. Field, according to
his account in to days paper. states that
had not the Gorgon been in company with the
Niagara, and gone before her and piloted the
way, the expedition must have failed. simply
because of the variation in the needle on &C.
count of the magnetic attraction from the coils
of wire on board. The Niagara and Agamem-
non had aboard, when the splice in-mid ocean
was effected, one thousand one hundred miles of
cable each, and each, before reaching their desti
nation, had paid out more than one thousand
miles. 1t was only by the most Proyidential
luck that they did not get to the end of their
rope when outOf sight of land.
Take all the incidents, one by one, of this
expedition, as they come to light, and we cannot
but conclude, as it was by one. of old, that
hitherto hath God helped US"
