WHEN TO MAKE RA1Ls.-It is

WHEN TO MAKE RAILs.-It is
important that farmers should
know when to split rails, so that
they will keep longest. The tim
Der should be split in September,
as the sap has then performed it's
office. When the rails are split,
the bark should be peeled off as
that they may season aud dry. In
their present situation, many far
mers have to consult rather their
convenience than scientific rules !;
but as affairs improve it will be
necessary to observe the proper
times and seasons for all manner
of farm work. When we consid-
er the vast amount of fencing to
be done in the Southern States,
the subject of rails looms up as
one of the first Importance Elk.

Song Of Steam.

The following fine poem, by G.
W.. Cutter, Of Covington, Ky,
Blackwood has pronounced "the
best lyric of the century,"
Harness me down with your iron hands,
Be sure of your curb and rein,
For scorn the strength of your puny hands,
As tempest scorns chain
How laughed asI lay concealed from sight,
For many countless hour,
At the childish boasts of human might,
And the pride of human power.
When Isaw an army upon the land,
A navy upon the seas,
Creeping along, snaiLlike band,
Or waiting hayward breeze.
When saw the peasant reel
With the toll which he family bore,
AS he turned at tie tardy wheel, ~
Or toiled at the weary oar.
Es+s
When I measured the painting courser's
ls&7& speed,
The fight of the carrier dove, so
As they bore law q king decreed,
Or the lines of impatient love, 81,
Icould not think how the world would feel,
AS these were outstripped afar
When should be bound to the rushing keel,
Or chained to the flying car.
Hal ha /! ha They found me at last;
And they invited me forth at length
And rushed to my throne with a thunder
blast, ,--s.
And laughed in my iron strength!
Oh then ye saw wondrous change
On the earth and ocean wide, d,
Where now my fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind or tide.
Hurrahl hurrah the waters DER -
The mountain steep decline;
Time-space have yielded to my power
The giant streams of the queenly West,
And the Orient floods divine.
The ocean pales where'er sweep,
To hear my strength rejoice,
And monsters of the briny deep
Cover trembling at my voice.
Icarry the wealth and ore of earth, .s
The thought of the god-like mind,
The wind lags after my going forth,
The lightning is left behind.
In the darksome depths of the fathomlet
mine @sAa
MY tiresome arm doth play,
Where the rocks ne 'er saw the SUMS declin
Or the dawn of the glorious day;
bring earth's glittering jewels up
From the hidden caves below,
And make the fountains granite cup
With a crystal gush o'erfow.
] blow the bellows, forge the steel,
In all the shops of trade; e .--.
Hammer the ore and turn thewheel
Where my arms of strength are made,
manage the furnace, the mill, the mint
carry, spin, weave;
And all my doings put in print
On every Saturday eve.
I've no muscles to weary, no breaststo deca
No bones to be 'laid on the shelf"
And soon intend you may Ego and play,
While manage the world myself
But harness me down with your iron band
Be sure Of your curb and rein,
For Iscorn the strength ofyour puny hand
As the tempest scorns chain.
