o, give me back my youth-my youth
Its freshness. sunshine, hope and truth,
Its vsoned Ife-its golden dream,
For added years shuts out its beam,
And no bright future waves me now
To spread the sail the prov,
That downward in lfa's listless sea
Seems eddying to Eternity
1 am not old, and round my soul
Young Love still twines his sweet control
The fame that feeds and warns my heart
Will only with my life depart
Yet do mourn, and hopelessly,
The broken spell Of Poesyl
My ARMY early love forsooth,
DrOpt from me like the flower of youth
For this, my heat a pang doth ownI
For this, tho loved, I'm oft alone
0, have erred, and like the throng,
Been pased by Loves syren songl
might have breathei, or sang or wept-
Then thus my Tyre had never slept
Still, still this sweei-this calm
Still crave to be the thing
But gveme back my yOuth--rny youth
Its freshness, sunshine, hope and truth,
Its yisioned ife-its golden dream,
For added years shuts out its beaml
And no bright future
To spread the sail guide the prov,
That downward Ger LIES listless sea
Seems eddying to Eternity
At recent meeting Of The American Institute
Farmers Club, held in New York, Mr.. RICHABD
CHUTE, Of St. An hOny, Minnesota, was requested
to spe k of the agriculture of that mid-regon Of our
continent He SAID that be was fearful Of meeting
unbelief if be should state the fac within his oWn
knowledge Of the remarkable capabilities Of the
soils of Minnesota he would say that in many vege-
tables it equalled those hitherto unparalleled vegeta
bles of California-but on his return be would send
some specimens to the Club, which would testify
more e8ectuaIly than man can. The potatoes are
very fine, SO that in the markets of the West, St
Louis and others, they have sold for 81 a bushel,
while hose of that region sold for so cents Snow
falls in all about foot occasionally little more;
it lies on the ground from 80 to l20 days. travel is
easy over it; the air very clear aud healthy; fever
and ague and bilious fever not known there The
Rocky Mountains take the heavy wet and send the
air pure and wholesome into Minnesota The lands
are about half prairie; subsOil, clay and in some
places grsvelly. Forests Of white pines and Nor
ways, Northerly-trees one to three feet in diane
ter; oaks, sOulherlyi sugar NAPLES make perhaps
40 per cent of the forest The waters abound in
fish; sOf,-shelled turtles plenty. Crsnberres so
plenty that we have shipped fifty thousand barrels
of them sill parts Of the river Mississippi; they
are of large size.
THE VMTAoE IN MIssOURr.-FrOm the TolEsBIatt,
published at the German settlement of Hermann, in
Missouri, we learn that this years vintage in the
vicinity of Hermann in spite of the poor prospects
in the early part of the season. has been an average
one. The quantity Of wine produced will reach
% 900 gallons which is highly satisf ctory in view
of the fact that last years yield enormous and
that the vines seldom yield TWO consecutive heavy
crops. The yield per acre of the different vineyards
is variahle-three and four hundred alons per acre
being secured IN some, while others afforded only
City gallons per acre In general however, the
winners are well pleased with the result, and have
no cause to complain of hard times,
HORRIBLE AFFAIR The Philadelphia papers
