GENERAL STUART.

Weep for the bold cavalier,
Weep for the chivalrous slain.
Stuart, who never knew fear
Charges no more DER the plain.
Dashing and bold in his raids,
Soul Of the combat and fight.
Pride of both matrons and maids.
Camp-circles special delight.
Light of the parlor where tbrong
Beauty and wit and brave man,
Welcomed by cheers and by song,
Leading his troops in the van.
Calmly he now lies at rest,
Battle arouses no more
Fires in that generous breast
Leaping at cannon's loud roar.
Bravely he fell at the front,
Guarding his troops in the strife,
Fell as the bravest are wont,
Pouring out freely his life.
Grief-stricken comrades have bore him
Tearfully down TO the grave,
Grief-stricken warriors shall mourn him
Noblest among the dead brave.
History treasures the glories
Won by his prowess and art,
Memory treasures the stories
Hov'ring his head and his heart.
Sleep where the murmuring waters
Utter forever thy fame
Rest from thy marches and sIaughters
Making immortal thy name.

POULTRY RAISING ON A LARGE SCALE.
A correspondent of the Neto York
EUening Post furnishes notices of farms
in Westchester County, N. Y, among
them the Highland Farm, owned and
carried on by Mr.! Leland: He gives
the following account OF Mr.. Leland's
success in raising poultry on large
scale
Passing from these general items,
we find on Highland Farm successful
enterprise, that has been pronounced
impossible if carried on with magnitude
namely, the raising of poultry. To this
business is appropriated about seYeh az
cres of land, on the highesl part of
which are two large houscs-one of
wood and one of stone-the interiors of
which are fitted up for the movable
nests. In the centre of these large
rooms is a Fireplace, for the purpose Of
warming the fowls in winter. At the
side ofthe enclosure is an artificial pond
for the ducks, and the running water
that passes through the dairy, furnishes
the chickens with the same necessary
article. As Mr.. Leland has had aston
ishing success in raising poultry, we
asked him what was the secret, and he
promptly replied, cleanliness is the
great deslderatum; after that the great
est attention to comfort. We observed
that the nest. boxes were all removed
from the building, and were undergo
ing cleansing from the rain, dews and
whitewash. The interior of the buftd-
ings was thickly coated with lime, pre-
paratory to their reception of the nest
boxes. Under such system, vermin,
the enemy of chickens, had no chance
Tor life. Throughout this house-clean-
ing, the chickens are locked out of the
house, and compelled for the time being
to roost on the surrounding trees. The
last year there were raised five hundfett
ducks and geese, four hundred and fifty
turkeys, and three thousand chickens.v

Prince GorsschakoG.


But what is passing in Russia that makes
folks wink and bite their lips, and look with
glistening eyes towards each other when the
Prince Gortschakofi's name is mentioned I?
Another hero who has shaken off the coil of
that obligation to behave as such which is
described as being the greatest impeachment
TO the performance of great actions. The
Prince, who is. seventy-two years of ace, has
just been married to his niece, young lady
OF great beauty, to whose marriage with the
governor OF southern province he had low
ously consented some few years ago. Two
children Lad been, born in the house, and
when third was expected, the Prince was

with alacrity, and arrived at the chateau for
the christening. Here he was comforted and
soothed and rendered by attention so pleased
with himself that he grew too pleased with
others. The niece had grown from the raw
schoolgirl he had po"tioned off few years
before into the self-possessed, elegant woman.
accustomed to command and to accent
the responsibility of the splendid position
in which she, had been placed by fortune.
The Prince, in spite of his seventy-two
years, soon fell most desperately in love. In
other countries the passion would have been
hopeless, but in Russia every disease carries
with it the remedy; and Prince Gortschakoff:
all powerful and infallible as the pope Of
Rome, having sued for a divorce, obtained it
Without difficulty; the adoption OF all the
children by the uncle, now become Their faith

on their mother, have induced the Young

both declare, however, that it is only for a

time allowed by Providence to men who are

of age. The husband has promised not to
marry again-while the wife will be no worse
