Uphraid me not-I cannot feel, Eternal love for thee; A mao n ho is but five feet high, Must not aspire to me. I wonder sir. how you supposed, That I would look so low; I do not like to have it said, I have so small a beau ! Besides. you must acknowledge, sir, The bargain scarcely fair; We never. sir, could make a match, Although, we made a pair. You know I'm tall, oh! very tall Resembling much a steeple; And, oh! I hate to look upon Your stunted, little people. 'Tis true, the novelists have said, A veil is o'er Love's eyes; But I can see. (though -im 's the view,) That you arc under size! 'Tis usual for a wire to take Her husband by the arm; Ti'nt he vihene'er they take a walk, May shield her from all hai in; But such a favor I'd ne'er ask Frot such a little lover; Wheii e'er we wa'k'd. I'd always fear Some dog would him run over. I own my sight is very good, A glass I never wear; Butt such as you I cannot see, Without a glass, I swear! Then. fare thee well, my little man I ask no parting kiss; My corsets will tint let me stoop, To ghint a boon like ihis. I will not weep, lest I should hurt, So delicate a thing; The tears that fall from such a height Would ruin on it bring. Sn eet manikin! Don't drown yourself In my wash-bowl, I pray; For fear of this, I'll tell the maid, To move the bowl away. If ever you should love again, Love on a smaller plan; For be- assur'd. n six foot girl, Won't snit a little man! Edgefldd C. H. r. STANZAS. Shadows of pamt years, - Of happiness and smiles Of inys bese: with tears Of pleasures girt with toils-. As ve flit along. T'ho' ye bring with ye, With then voice of song, Strains of isery; Still I love to trace, As ye pass me by, E'en fir a noinetit's space, The faided shade ofjoy! Voices seem to swell Abmove me, and around; Many a tale they tell Uf joys tno longer found : Of sies that ruthless Time Htuth wither'd long ago. Like lnw'ret past their pri~ne Sore, silently anad slow ; But yet to me they bring linck dreamis of ithier dlavs A visione of life's spring. The'heart's ownt earliest lays ! Memory htath her hour-s Of pleasume and of pain : Of sunashine, storm, and show'"rs, That fade and sptring again. Yet when the shadows fly, And voices greet the ear, In all the pride of mnystery, I love the sound~s to hear; And pensively to trace, As shadows pass ine by, E'en fhr a mtomnit's space, Th'le flittinig formt oh joy !

I have lately received from <ome of my farming frieids n few stalks of laden anid other sorts of Cor. from 4 to 10 cars of corn on a sinele stalk. One very curious stalk was found in a paper of Chmna Beans, and it wns left to grow with the Hean, a solitary stalk. The gentleman n- ho raised it was induced to take the tassels from an adjoining pnitch of Corn, and shake the polen of the flower over the silk of the lonely stalk, and the result is tliat the said stalk has eight pretty good ears on it, and what is most sinenlar is that they are a deep red Flint Carn. And now. Sir. Edi tor, as my trtmpeter is nut of th way, I will show some rare specimens of Corn rnised in oy enrden. this year. Several stalks .f Baden Corn, with eight good ears on them, Long-Island or Pacific Corn, 10 earst Chinese or Tea Cort, 4 to 6 enr: Beets from 104 to 14 1h.

Three times a dai. precisely at a ce.tain hotr. aecording to Mr. Lnn rence, they shoild lie furnished with their food. M. Den observeq. that neat cattle And horses shoult not have so nch laid before them Itt once. as *ill quite ;erve to fill them. The hay they have hreathed on mutch, they nill not eat up clenn, unless they are very hinery. It is besi, there fore. to fodder them twice ht tight. nid twice in the morning. Let n-at cattle as well as horses have hotl light and fresh air let in upon their fodder. when the wea ther is not tar cold anti utorniy to allow th'e windows to be open.

MILK FRtOM COWS FED ON DIS TILLERY SWILL. At, animated disenssion is now going on in the 'Jturnal ol' Ciumitmeree'iof N. York. as to the quality of the milk which forms the principal part of the siuply of that city. We copy belon% one of the art icles of the assailants. The "Comimittee of Milk men" who have answered at great length tot previos piec-q, present bt a very un satisfactory defetice, and a very poor re co~mmtendation of the commodity in wichel they deal.--Ed Far. Reg. From the Journal of Commerce. The Joutrnal enntitot confer a greater blessinig otn the commulnity than by pro dncing a through reformtaitont in the mtilk department. It is n subtject in which the henthah atnd lives of thonsntuds are involved. I have Ativeni some attention to it from the circtunstance of havittg the constittution oif a fine hoy. the deliency of whose mother cotmpelled her to nurse frott thme hottle, etn tirely tinderminmed, and scarred with bloteh es to this day ; whlilenmy other chiildr'en. nturscd at the breast, enjoy pierfect hentlh. Unicertain of thte cauise of my boy's pining and drouping, it at Lettgthi ocentred to tte to analyze the milhk. whlic'h I fotnd to lbe the mere dregs of a dlistillery ; scarre otte par icle of tntrittnet to a pint. I fotund a pinat of wvarmn water, a tenispnoon ftll of flo'ir, arl 2 grainsidoftmagnesimi, to contaiti mnore nuttriment thtan a pint of sswill, cal led milk. On dliScovering this great secret in the mtilk trade, I itmmediately ser.t to Orange countty andt provided a youtng, healthy, and $ounntrv-fed cow, which I have had for fotur yeatrs. furnishing ahun danice of good anid wvholesome ttiik. It has ofrtn rnctred to mte as surprising, tt'n' w~.:ie we huavr mtunicipal laws to reg tu ate the iluality of horwzd stidE' the co'rpur ation should lie pierfectly reckless of what we administer to thic delicate stomachs of our children. Tlhiere is tnot a more sture anid certain poison thtan this swill tmilk. Besidles its deleter.ionsq properties, a pint does tnot contain stuficienut ntutriment to support a child. DidI yotn ever make an esttimate of the profitssat the milkmen ? If not, I will do it for yon ; having had oc casion to investigate the matter. It is ha sed upon feeding the cows on swill merely, from the distillery wh'ch ba rely keeps thie cows alive. The swill is given themt warm, and passes throntgh them with the same rapiit a trhm he ill:n. t is all converted into what is called mcilk. They are milked three times each day, and fur nish at each milkine from 8 to 10 quarts. One barrel of swill cost,. 61 cents ana will keep t wo cows a day, which will field on the nverage 24 qunrts of mi-k. This. at Gd. per quart, is 1 50 ets. Every cow fel on swill yields a net prolit to the milk mian. over expenses of delivery. &e.. of $1 25 per head per day. There is no branch of business so prifitable, and notie so haneful to a conmuniiv of children. For myself, I woil sooner pay 2s. ; quiart for milk from grass-fed cows. than take the swill at any rate. Yours, v. A gentleman who was formerly n dis tiller metioned to us yesierdaI that it was then his eustom to reed cows o) tle slops. nd i that the quantity of milk, when he put them on that feed, was immedintely jttst about doniled. hut the gniatlitv ruined. lie says such rmilk will not mnke Otter at all.

CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA. ll. uniseoni. a physieiai it Paris. inl a recent publicatioi, niives the following ne conii of his experience of hydrophobia. aid his mode of cnre: il.

The ninth clay after, l.einig in his abriuolec, lie was sudencly seized wilh a pain in his throat, and onie still greater in his eyes. The saliva was conmstantlv' ponr inig into the mouth ; the impi hressielin af' a enrrent of air, or ehe sight ouf brilliant bo dies gave himc a painiful sensaitiotn. II is body app~eared to him so light. that lie feltn as thociugh he conhitl lenp to a prodligionis height. He experienhedl, he said, a wvish to rucn andI bite--nut mten,hnit animatls and inacnmate bodies. Finally, lit drnntk uvit h 'great dlilletity; attd the sight of water was still nmore cdistressintg to him thant t he pain in his thiroict. These symiptomts re enrred every five minutes, anid it appeared to him as thoneh the pain commtenced in his affectedl fingcr, and extenided lienice ny to the shiouldler. Freic tti.e whole cf the cymnpttoms, hiejndgetd htitmsel f nieeted withI hydlrophoh'in, atnd rceovedl to cerina te' his Iile by stilling himtesel f in a vipeour heth.

A. -a proof or the utility of copious nnd continned perspiratiou, he relates the following anecdote A relative of the musician Gretry was bitten by NI mNd dog, at ihe snme time with many oilier persons, who al (lied of liv driphobia. For his part, feeling the first symptoms of the disease, lie took to dane in-- night and day, saying, that he wished to die ganily. - lIe recovered. Al. Buisson also cites the old stories of dancing heinea ;rmedy for the lite of a taranrutla and d1rarws attention to the fact that the animals in whom this madness is most freqently round to develope itself spontinously,are dogs. wolves.anid foxes, which never perspire. '[his ittet is ix very remarkable fact. ]orses and cows have been fregnently bitten by mad dogs, and in ver. I' enqes have any of the ymptoims of hydrophobia been mani fested. ANECDOTE OF NAPOLEON. Alier having gained the battle of Wag rain, the Eiperor Napoleon established his head quarters for a time at Schoenbrun. atnd there occupied himelf, pending the negoliations ir his A ustrian alliance, evith reviewing his troops, and distributing :rnong them rewari and honors. 'One old and brave regiment of the line was dr:rwn oit befbre him for this purpose. lis enstom being '0 examine every corps indi viduallv under the giidance o the officerg. 1ltr having formed the regitimenit into crilimi, Naprileor entered aniong the raktis. and bestowed pruises and decorn lions onl all %% ho au pared ort hy of them.
