FANNY FERN has been spending the summer
at Bralteboro, and expatiates as follows in one of
her recent pieces in the Men York Ledger:
The sunset Vermont gets up are after the pat
tern Of the Revelations. Gates of gold, pillars of
crystal, walls of amethyst. One needs new c.
tionary to translate their glory, and all the breath
ing-space Vermont can give, not TO feel oppressed
by their splendor don't wonder Vermonters
fought well in the late war. Every day as |
ramble among its mountains, and every evening
as breathe this delicious, braong air. say, how
coud such a country fail to produce heroes How
could they help fighting iercely and rghteously
for such homes as these9 ! cok at the numer-
Gus little army tents peacefully resting under the
trees IN the yards of the old homesteads, serving
now for mimic generals and ieutenanls, and little
fairy daughters OF the regiment" with their
dolls and "ntions," and | deyouty thank God
that we can say, the late war. Every ealy home
among these mountains has It's hero. Manned he
may be- but when loving haads and willing feet
are all about one lte's burdens are easy to bear.
-Andersonyle and Libby seem to him now like
dreadful nightmares, from which be awoke to the
sweet laugh of his children the song of the birds,
and the cool loneliness Of the old gnared trees,
under which his father played before him. His

smoke Of battle, unless YOU suggest the possible
pardon OF JEFF. Davis. Then, indeed

COMPOSING Muck,

gives the following as his method -
g dig the muck as soon after haying as
can, that being the dryest season Of the year
and the sun and the air will have good effect upon
it before take it to the barn-yard. Before NOV

dressing, say on the first OF November or before
the ground ireezes-cartiDg it out into the field
where propose to plant corn the next season, OF
for the purpose of topdressing etc. then haul
into the vacant yard the muck, and spread it
evenly all over the surface. My cattle are allow
ed to run over and stand upon it during the re-
mainder Of the fall and winter. In the spring, at
soon ash is dry enough, run the pillow THROUGH
it, and follow this practice often during the sum.

the pile in nay cellar with the muck in the yard
in the proportion Of one-third manure from th

quently blowing them over and incorporating
them together as can, until it is time to hau

The Origin of the Humming.Birds.

The Origin OF the Hummlng-birds'
When St. Patrick preached in the Emerald Isle
The FAIRIES that hspnted the green,
And their reyels had held In oldsn time,
Were filed Ii envy and spleen
So they went where the water-lilies Il Al,
on the edge Of the shallow bay,
And they chose themselves each little boat,
To carry them far away.
Msrhly how TIA, little feet
Bou nds DER the waters blue
Boldly the fAres have taken heir seat
Each 10 her light canoe
They gave to their queen the largest flower
Their perous courst to guide
And after her, like snowy shower,
The ii ny vessels glide
The eddying ripples that bore them along
A mrrmurirg melody played
And the FAIRIES who knew the words Of this song
A whispering answer made.
The waters are FRYING away to the south
And bear them on with their tide,
rnl safely they reach the rivers mouth,
And aoa, on he ocean wide
Through many day and night they sailed
Warmly the sunshine fell,
The might Of the wind and waves were stayed
By the power Of their mag C spell.
That magic spell that banished the night
While the westward course they take,
For a glorious trail Of FURNISHED light
Is following 10 their wake.
The FAIRIES have reached the coral strand,
And left the lily flowers,
They fly away In a merry band
To the pleasant cltron bowers
And the humming birds seen In that sunny cline,
Sparkling with rainbow hues,
Are the FAIRIES who left the Eme raldl'le
In their lily white canoe.

SINGULAR CATTLE DHEAsE-Cattle seem to be
particularly afflicted this season with very
peculiar disease in tho shape of worms, some
Of them half an inch long. These worms get
on the back of the cattle and eat their way into
the flesh. The animals are greatly troubled
with the inaiction, and roll over on the grass at
though in great agony. Sometimes, while graz
ing, they start of suddenly and run wildly over
the meadows, as though suffering intensely
Their strange conduct has attracted considers
bic attention within the past week, and not a
little comment as to the original cause. An ex

some beef cattle on the meadows, in the FRS

One Of the most experienced officers OF our
cavalry regiments recommends farmers and the
owners Of horses TO water their stables and COW
houses with the phosphate acid Of magnesa
He says it will prevent nearly all Of the cona'
gious diseases (and especially the glanders) tc
which cattle and horses are subject, and all Of
the diseases which arise from great confinement
of animals. This suggestion is well worth re-
Wondering in these days when 50 many diseases
are rife among cattle. Tens and probably hun.

have been lost by mortality among cattle within
the last eighteen months In Earopo, Asia and
Africa. so great have been these losses that il
