Let's Sit Down and Talk Together.

From a work entitled Macklars "Dropping
from the Heart" we copy the annexed stanzas
The sentiments uttered by the poet, can beread
lily appreciated by all who, like some folks W,
know of, are growing Old;]
Let's sit down and talk together
OF the things of olden day,
When we like lambkins loOsed from tether,
Gaily trippd along the way.
Time has touched us both with lightness,
Leaving furrows here and there,
And tinging with peculiar brightness,
Silyery threads among our hair.
Let's sit down and talk together;
Many years away have passed,
Aud fair and foul has been the weather
Since we saw each other last.
Many whom we loved are living
In better world than this;
And some amongst US still are giving
Toll and thought for present bliss.
Let's sit down and talk together;
Though the flowers ofyouth are dead,
The ferns still grow among the heather,
And for us their fragrance she'd
Life has a thousand blessings in it
Even for the aged man.
And God has hid in every minute.
Something we may wisely scan.
Let's sit down and talk together;
Boys we Were-we now are men;
We meet awhile, but know not whether
We shall meet to talk again.
Parting time has come; how heetly
Speed the moments when their wings
Are fam by breathings issuing sweetly
From a tongue that never stingsl

Farm Products in 1864.

The following items are CLEANED from the
Report of the Commissioner Of Agriculture:
The wheat crop Of 1864 is less than that
of 1868 by over 18,000,000 bushels. In
quality, however, it is generally superior.
Rye is nearly million bushels less than
in 1863
Barley is nearly three quarters of mil
lion less than in 1863
The crop of oats is nearly three millions
of bushels greater than in 1868.
The corn crop is 55,000,0O0 bushels less
than in 1862, and 78,0O0,0O0 bushels less
than that of 1868.
The crop of potatoes is nearly four mil
lions of bushels less than in 1868.
Hay is over one and half million tons
lesss than in 1868.
More attention has been paid to the cul-
tivation of fax The crop of cotton in Ill
inois is forty per cent larger than that in
1862 Sorghum has increased but little.
Root crops have decreased fact which
the Commissioner regrets, as a good crop of
turnips, mangles, &C., would take the place
of corn in the winter feeding of stock
Apples, peaches and grapes have been
very good in the Eastern and Middle States,
but in the Western States the destruction
of the trees by the intense cold has caused
diminution of fruit that will be felt for
years.
HORSES. The great demand for horses
and mules to supply the army has enhanced
their price, and drawn away great num-
Der from the farming operations.
CATTLE.-The large amount of beef con-
sumed by the army, the scarcity of corn and
fodder the last winter, and the drouth of last
summer, will reduce to a considerable ex-
tent the number of cattle to be fattened this
year. The supply of cattle is evidently be-
coming inadequate to meet the wants Of the
army and the people of the country.
SHEEP.-The increased demand for wool
has induced corresponding increase in
sheep raising, one of the most important
and profitable branches of farming, and it is
to be hoped that before many years have
passed we shall not only cease to be import
ers of wool, but exporters to large extent.
SWINE. number of fattening hogs
is much below an average, probably one
third this is mainly due to the short crop
of corn last fall and winter. The hog chol-
era, though still prevailing in some places,
has not been so destructive as usual in the
west
