 sarhc entrenched camps, forts, and stock houses, the garrisons of Malgheta Alberoni, St. Andre, St. Pierre, Albano and Montecine, with the towns of Vicenza Trcviso, and Rovigo, will also furnish its army in the infantry, Uavaiiry7i TTTagsof train, military stores, guns, etc; in all ont hundred and fifty thousand men.

aes.T finest thing George D. Prentice ever wrote is this inimitable passage:
 1t cannot be that earth is mans only abi- ding place It cannot be that our life is bubble cast up by tho ocean of eternity, to foata moment npon its waves, and sink into nothingness. Else why is it the high and glo- rious aspirations which leap like angels from the temple of our hearts, are forever wander ing unsatsied2 Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud come over US with q beauty is not of earth, and then pass off and leave us to muse on their faded loveliness? Why is it that the stars which mold their festival around the midnight throne, are set above the grasp of our limited faculties; forever mocking us with their unapproaehableglor Andinally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view and taken from us; leaving the thousand streams of our affections to flow back in an Alpine torrent upon our hearts ?-We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where tho rainbow never fades; where the stars will be spread out Before us like the ocean, and where the beautiful beings which pass before us like shadows Will stay in our presence forever.

THE FALLEN NATION.
BY M J.

Passed to death, majestic people, slumbering
 now in early rest, Gathered to the grand mansoleum of her
 heroes mighty breast Life no more with glorious surging heat with
 in her grand old soul, Stifed in that dim forever breathing of the graves dead mould As the solemn sounds of midnight sweep into
 the starry skies, Like q vast mesmeric musics soft to the mourn
 ful death hymn rise, Death hymns of a noble people God the Father made sublime. Marchingin the dark procession of the spectral
 shapes of Time. Vague the echoes of her battlcs finger yet with ! solemn strain, Echoes of the battles death shout which the
 weeping left retain; Like wild, sweet dreamy sadnegs, like low
 an holy chaunt, aa Comes tSe soft-voiced remembrance of that
 might uo foe could daunt, Ia. When the stirring throbbed deep-tcned, when
 the fife an,l clarion rang, When the stately souls of warriors marched
 on death without pang. When the cry like blasts of trumpcts rushed
 reyerberant line to line. .sStrength alone by God assisted, strength
 alone will rule n.ankiud!" But, alas the people heal I not, smothered in the stagnant fumes. Caring not for flashing hFhtnings, playing
 round their children's tolnbs; i And the victor foe swept dreadful as hlinding
 fiery light, 4 In the broken night of nations, rushing ils,o
 endless night! Then the moan came scmpitcrnal, 20 the days la8 that arc no more.'' 4a Where are ye, 0 years transcendant, sleeping
 like forgotten lore? Where are ye 0 glorious struggles, with the
 dark earth for your bier, Gathered by the sharp bright sickle of fierce
 Time, king-regnant here: Like soft. majestic anthem swells the music
 of that time, a5 softcned into deep, rich whispers, floating on
 wondrous rhyme, Solemn as mass, low rolling through the
 aisles' resplendent gloom, Sounding like the strange, low weeping of the
 women round tomb, Vast, magnificent, the melody risesin wreath { of sound, 1 Mingling with the wondrous varblings ofths
 stars in heaYn around; Rapt in gorgeous sounds fine masses of that
 holy music rush From the silent, still Metropolis of the Past's
 eternal hush 1 None but this-this magic trembling Of tho
 voice when men refer To that grand that lofty outburst of a nation !
 noble fear 0a f We too well the triple sisters saw descending
 on our land, In the dark, low muttering storm-clouds low
 ering OCT the fearless band, They nor beat, nor bowed in anguish as tn shock rolled dread and vast, Followed by wild gleaming lightning, strihini
 down the firsta and last, Like a mighty conaagration high th' iinperia banner streamed, Terrible as helmed archangel in the tempes
 grand it gleamed, As the hearts beneath it panting stormed th'
 rampart's frowning night, Pushing like . deadly whirlwind fraught witt
 flame and blending light. ap But no more. remembrance blackens int
 storms of grief and pain Atthe moulnful recollection of that nation
 hallowed slain, Slain and sleeping like majestic starlight ol
 the summer sea, 1 With no sound to break their slumher, witl

The Best Time to Gut Grass.

There has been a diversity of practice
among farmers as to the best time to cut
grass for hay. At the recent New York
State Fair the subject was discussed at a
meeting of agriculturists held in the eve
nlng. The tennessee Farmer gives the fol-
lowing report of the discussion
"Mr. J. Stanton Gould opened the discus
sion. He took decided ground against al
lowing grass to get dead ripe before it was
cut Professor Ways experiments showed
that grass cut just as the plants were going
out OF flower, contained forty per cent. more
nutriment than when dead ripe Was sat
istied from his own experience that it was
better to cut grass early. Timothy allow
ed to get ripe was no better than rye straw.
1 e seeds of hay do not digest in the stom-
ach; Cows dry up when fed on ripe hay.
In regard to making hay, he remarked
that the object was to secure as much of
the nutrlment of the grass as possible. We
could not secure the whole. There was a
loss IN curing and from fermentation etc
The best way was TO allow the grass to
wilt as rapidly an possible by exp0sing If

hay 1t was necessary,in the valley of the
Hudson, to commence to cock early on &C
count of the dew Allows the hay to stand
in the cock one day. Next day open and
draw in.
"In regard to the time of cutting hay, to
be fed out on the farm, there could be but
one opinion 1t should be cut early Bar
ley straw is better than over ripe timothy.
But for market it was necessary to let it
get ripe. 1t sells better.
''Mr. Brewer, of Tompkins, raised consid-
cradle clover seed, and consequently cut
his clover hay early Thought there was
loss in weight, but gain in quality
Draws it in rather green Has poles on the
bottom of his bay, so that there is circu-
lation puts the hay in loose and it cures
nicely. If it is very greer sometimes mix
es little straw with it in stacking Timo-
thy meadows moved early and the rowan
allowed to rot on tho ground will improve
greatly.
"Mr. Van Alstine, in reply to a question,
said he puts four pounds of salt to ton of
hay when cut green. Thought crop of
grass that would make ton of hay if al
lowed to get ripe, would give only fifteen
hundred weight if cut green. If allowed
to get over-ripe it would begin to lose
weight again.
CDR Gill of Poughkeepsie, cuts clover
very early, and cocks it in an hour in small
cocks draws in next day. Hay cooked
green is not hurt by shower as much as
hay cooked dry.
Several gentlemen spoke all in favor
of cutting grass early.
"Solon Robinson, of New York, was ask
ed why it was that ripe hay was preferred
in the city. He said that the President of
the Third Avenue Railroad Company, had
studied this subject carefully and had made
experiments with different foods, and had
finally concluded that the best and most
economical daily ration for the horse was
sixteen pounds of corn meal and fourteen
pounds of ripe timothy hay. The hay was
chaffed and moistened with water, and the
meal mixed with it. A little salt was ad-
ded
"In reply to question, Mr.. Robinson
said that the timothy was so ripe that the
seeds would grow. In feeding trotting
horses, the hay is given them uncut. In
the stables where the experiments were
made to which he alluded, over one thous-
and horses were kept.
"Mr Curtis, of Tompkins, cut his hay
early for COWS, ,and feeds that which he cuts
last to horses Timothy cut while in bloom
will give horses the heaves.
"Solon Robinson thought that for milch
cows hay should be cut early But for hor-
ses, one ton of timothy cut when the seed
will grow is worth two tons cut green"
