Up With the Flag.
By WILLIAM II. BuELEIGiI.

Fling ont the old banner-the red, white and blue,
Aud rally around it with hearts that are true;
For the lg-blrst Of treason is heard in the South,
Its loud thunders boom from the battery's month";
And its hordcs mad for blood, in the spirit of CAIN
Pour down from the hillside swarm up from the plain,
And swear they will Triangle the flag Of our PRIDE
For which Washington fought, for which heroes have
died
Then fling orr orr banner again to the gale.
Though treason dcrdc and though traitors assal
The .tar-studicd banner, the war-tattcrcd banner.
For Right with the Might in its sheen shall prevail!
We were patent-that patience they counted fear,
Aud repaid ia with insult. with gibc, and with jeer;
We forborc--but they read our fprbearancc amiss,
As they swept. uncontrolled, to rcbrons abyss,
And. mad with unreason unln,u,ing to think
Like fools they have plunged from its terrible brink,
And with brands from, that hell they have kind-d fire
That shall burn till tho traitors who lit il expire
Then fling out our banner again to the gale
Though treason dcride and though traitors asuail.
The star-stuldei banner, the w.r-tattered banner.
For Right with the Might in its sheen shall prevail!
For the land which fathers bequeathel in trust
For the tombs where, a-halowcd, still SAUNDERS their
dust,
For the Union they loved and for freedom and law,
And the old tlng-their emblel--our swords will We
draw;
And never till treason is crushed meath our heel.
Shall the rust Of the scbbard he found on eur steel
Nor the stiffness OF peace hush the boom of guns
Till the land of our fathers is saved for our SONS!
Then fling out our banner again to the gale
Though treason deri'le and though traitors a.saI
The sarstndded banner, tho war-tattercl banner,
For Right with the Might in its sheen shall prevail.
Our country hath called AMI her people have heard

AnouT HoRsEs'-To be kept in a healthy
condition, every horse should be exercised
resularly-say two honrs daily. 1t is est.
mated that there are 5 ,OU0, 900 horses in the
United States. A tight girh that is not
elastic, fastened around the body OF plung-
ing house, will entirely prevent rearing and
Jumping. Vicious animals want room to
swell, and the tight girh checks it. One end
ola chain looped around the neck Of a baulky
horse, and the other attached to a powerful
team, is said to cure the worst cases Of obsti-
macy. Should not he surprised if it did
especially if tho team were started, for either
the horse would move or lose his neck!-It
is printed that handful Of dry weod ashes,
in feed once week, given to horse, will
usually Kill worms; but more powerful
medicine is the soaking Of their grain over
night in solution Of Eastwood bark tor two
or three mornings, and then physickng.

Stir THE SoIL.-Good farmers are well
acquainted with the fact: and an important
fact in a II good farming-that frequent stir
ring Of the soil in all open crops. is calculated
to have as much effect in producing an abnn-
dant yield as an extra dressing of MANURE
1t is especially valuable in dry seasons, and
the oftener it is resorted to, whether in field
or garden, the more beneficial will DO the
result As to the latter, it is frequently
neglected to painful degree, but most gen
orally in small gardens which are left to the
management of women. Twice or thrice as
many vegetables could be raised in many of
these small enclosures by stirring the ground
often. destroying the weeds as fast as thew
appear, and 50 arranging as to obtain at least
TWO crops from every part of it.
Every family should have not less than
three crops of peas, planting tomatoes
between the rows; three crops of corn, plant
ing celery between every other row, or
cucum5ers for picking, or citrons for pre-
serving, or cabbage. Cabbages can b. set
out between every two rows of potatoes;
turnips will grow among corn; lettuce plants
can go between cucumbers and melon hills,
Or even in new strawberry beds. The WAYS

PAsTuRING.-It is poor economy TO feed
pastures close. They will yield much more
II the grass has fair start, than If fed down
so low that il can scarcely grow. Cattle
which pick pasture down to the bone, nearly
always run largely to bono. John Johnson
supposes case, founded on repeated obser-
vatlon, in illustration of this truth. lie says :
- A has a field which he thinks will keep
twenty cattle into it. b. has a fi.ld of the
same size and quality, but he puts only ten
cattle into it, Now it will almost always be
found that in the autumn, the ten have gained
es many, often more pounds live weight, than
the twenty. The ten with first-rate pasture
should gain 400 pounds each, and it is doubt
full if the twenty would have gained 200
pounds each. The ten would make extra
beef, and bring an extra price, while the
twenty would only make third-rate beet,
bringing little more per pound than when
they were turned to pasture. The ten paid
$25 each for their pasture, and perhaps
more. This have often SEEN"

that very august assembly. The old adsge
says birds Of a cather flock together" and
VIC incline to the belief that the men who
