THE ROAD TO Poor FARMING

THE ROAD TO Poor FARMING,
Il. Invest all your money in
land and run in debt for more.
2. Hire money to stock Your
farm.
3. Have no faith in your bdsi-
ness, and be ever ready to sch out.
4. Buy mean cows, spawned
horses, poor oxen and cheap tools.
8. Feed poor hay and mouldy
cornstalk exclusively, in order to
keep your stock tame; fiery cattle
are terribly hard on rickety wag-
Ons an plows.
q. Use the oil of hickory freely
wheneveryour oxen need strength:
1t is cheaper than hay or meat,
and keeps the HAIR lively, and also
pounds out all the grubs.
z. Select such calves for stock
as the butchers shun-beauties OF
runts, thin in the hams and pot.
bellied; but be sure and keen their
blood thin by scanty heritage; an.
lmals are the safest to breed from
that have not the strength to
herd.
8. Be cautious about manufac.
turing manure; it makes the fields
look black and mournful about
planting time; besides it is a dea1
of work to haul it.
9. Never waste time by setting
out fruit and shade trees; fruit an6
leaves rotting around a place are
unhealthy Exchange.

My Love and I.

Written by Confederate Officer, while a
prisoner on JOhason's Island.
NY Love roposes ON rosewood frame
A bunk have 1;
Aeouch of feathery down fills the same
Mines straw, but dry.
She sinks to sleep at night with scarce a sigh;
With waking eyes watch the hours creep
by.
My Leve her daily dinner takes in state,
And so do I(?l;
The richest viands flank her silver plate
Coarse grub haveI
Pure wine she sips, with ease her thirst to
Stake;
pump my drink from Erie's limpid lake.
Ny Love has all the world at will to roam
Three acres, 1:
She goes abroad, or quiet sits at home
So cannot l.
Bright angels watch around her couch at
night;
A Yank, with loaded gun, keeps me in sight
A thousand weary miles now stretch be
tween
My Love and /:
To her this wintry night, cold, calm, serene
watt sigh;
And hope, with all my earnestness of soul,
To-mOrrOw's mail will bring me my parole.
There's hope ahead; we'll meet again
Ny love and L:
Wen wipe away all tears of sorrow then.
Her love lit eye
VIII all my weary troubles then beguile,
And keep this wayward Reb from Johnson's
Isle

in the lick her law, when applied
to Jane. Jane Jones contends
stoutly for the liquor law, as APP
plicable to John. James argu-
ment is simple and conclusive.
When John does liquor, he does
lick her. When he don't liquor,
ne don't lick her, therefore, if he
can't liquor, he won't lick her
the conclusion she wishes to come
to.
