be approved by the whole country when the an
nual report of the Commissioner is presented.
The prudence with which the Department has
been conducted cannot but please the strictest
economists. Although The expenses of estah-
fishing a department are always heavy, there is
still in the hands of the Commissioner Il balance
Of over $3.50, 900 Of the limited appropriation for
the current year.
With an appropriation at all commensurate
TO its necessities and in keeping with its impor-
lance, the Department of Agriculture may be
made a means of vast benefit to the whole coun-
try. The single article of sorghum, introduced
through the old bureau in 1855, and of the syrup
Of which alone upward Of forty millions of gal
Ions will be produced in the Western States
this year, has yielded sufficient to compensate
the Government and the people for every dol
lar given since the formation of the Republic
for the encouragement of agriculture OF this
valuable product Mr.. Kennedy, in his prelim-
mary report of the census of 1860, remarks :
"From the products of the sugar cane-sorgtum
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from the Chinese
Empire, the West is furnished with new ar
ticle Of domestic luxury and utility, and rem
dered comparatively Independent OF the sugar
cane of the Southern States"
1t is to be hoped that, for the purpose oftest-
ing, and, when found valuable, introducing 10
the country, other products OF foreign climates
which may prove profitable as sorgbum-for
the chemical analysis Of soils and manures, for
the diffusion of carefully prepared and instruc-
tive reports upon new cereals, fruits, and veg
etobes, and improved methods of cultivation /;
in Short for the proper encouragement of intel
ligent and remunerotive agriculture, Congress
will not only refuse to listen to any interference
with the Department, but will, at the earliest
moment consistent with the exigences Of the
times, provide for it a more generous and be-
fitting appropriation.

CLOSING LINEN.-Inquiry is frequently
made respecting the mode of putting gloss on
linen collars and shirt bosoms like that on new
linen. This gloss, or enamel, as it is some
times called, is procured mainly by friction with
a warm iron, and may be put on linen by al
most any person. The linen to be glazed re-
ceives as much starch as it is possible to charge
it with, then it is dried. TO each pound of
starch piece of sperm, parafiine, or white wax
about the size of walnut, is usually added.
When ready to be ironed, the linen is laid up
on the table and moistened slightly on the sur
face with clean wet cloth. 1t is then ironed
in the usual way with aat-iron, and is ready
for the CLOSING operation. For this purpose
peculiar heavy fat-iron rounded at the bot
tom and polished as bright as a mirror, is used.
1t is pressed firmly upon the linen and rubbed
with much force, and this friciional action puts
on the gloss. elbow grease" is the principal
secret connected with the at Of CLOSING linen.

THE LYRE.

There was Tyre, Ills said which hung
High waving DER the summer air;
An angel hand Its chords had strung,
And left to breathe its music there.
Each wandering breeze that DER it flew,
Awoke wilder, sweeter stran
Than ever shell of mermaid blew
In coral grottos of the main.
When, springing from the roses bell,
Where all night he had sweetly slept,
The zephyr left the fowery dell,
Bright with the tears which morning wepti
He rose, and DER the trembling Tyre
Waved lightly Lis soft azure wing;
What touch such music could inspired
What harp such Tyre Of joy could sing
The murmurs Of the shaded rls,
The birds that swoctly warblcd by,
And the soft echoes from the hills,
Were heard not where that harp was nigh.
When the last light of fading day
Along the bosom of the west,
In coors softly mingled lay.
While night had darkened all the rest
Then, softer than that fading light,
And sweeter than that lay that rung
Wild through the silence of the night,
As solemn Philomcla sung,
Thu harp its plaintive murmurs sighed
Along the dewy breeze of even,
So clear and softly they swelled and died
They seemed the echoed songs of heaven.
Sometimes, when all the mir was still,
And not the popar's folnge trembed,
That harp was nightly heard to thrill
With tones no earthly tones resembed.
And then, upon the moons pale beams,
Unearthy forms were seen to stray,
Whose starry pinion's trembling CLEANS
Would oft around the wild harp play.
But soon the boom Of summer fed
In earth and mir it shone no more;
Each flower and leaf fell pale ard dead,
While skies their wintry sterness wore.
One day loud blew the northern blast
The tcmpests fury ragged along
Oh! for some angel rs he passed,
To shield the harp Of heavenly songl
1t shreked-how could it bear the touch
The cold, rude touch of such Il storm
When cen the zephyr seemed too much
Sometimes, though always light and warm;
1t loudly shrieked-but all in vain
The savage wind moro iercely blewi
Once more--it never shrieked again,
For every chord was torn IN two.
1t never thrilled with anguish more,
Though beaten by the widest blast;
The pang that thus its bosom tore,
Was dreadrul-but it was the last.
And though the smiles OF summer played
Gently upon its shattered form,
And the light zephyrs DER it strayed,
That Tyre they could not wake or warm.
