The sound that falls on mortal car,
As dew drops pure at even,
That soothe the breast or start the tear,
Are mother, bome and heaven.
A mother-sweetest naime on eath,
We lisp it on the knee,
And idolize its sacred worth
In manhood's infancy.
A home-that paradise 'ielow,
Of sunshine and of flowers,
Where hallowed joys perpetual flow,
By calm, sequestered bowers.
And Heaven-the port ofendless peace,
The haven of the seul,
When life's corroding cares shall cease,
Like sweeping waves to roll.
Oh. weep not then, though cruel time
The chain of love has riven;
To every link in yonder clime,
Re-unionshall be given.
Oh. fall they not on mortal ear
As dew drops pure at even,
To soothe the breast, or start the tear,
A mother, home. and beaveu.

at for want of this knowledge, trees that

a soil, suited to their nature.
I therefore propose to .state what in my
amble opinion, would be useful to some
my customers on the abos e subject.
To enable us to form a correct judgment
i such subjects, ^e ought to study na
re's works; some sorts of trees (but it is
e fewest number) thrive best on a stiff
bite clay, many others on upland, mel
w loam, and other trees and shrubs will
irdly grow at all, unless on wet or moist
tid, and some grow best on sandy land.
An hour's ride through our woods, by a
!rson of common observation, will at

it because those trees are planted where
ey are fuoud, the winged seed of some
' them tre carried by tle wind a long dis
nce, but they will cot grow unless they
tht on the sort of soil congenial to their
owth, which to tne is very instructive,
ewing tihe necessity of planting each sort
trees on ground suited to their unture
near as we can ; hont ever, there are very
nuy species of trees not so particular, but

vKOETATiojt or OR~As SEED.
Please give me leave to mention a fact
tknown to every farmer, hut whleh may
useful. Which is. that hrerds grass seed
dl other grass seed not annrual, if sowedl
the spring, aind through drynress of thte
ison, or by other means does not vege
a or como un- as we fmers say, the next
season being wet and favorable, itwill vegp
tate. As the last season was dry, I bead
much complaint respecting grass seed not
vegetating. and farmers threatening to
plough up the soil where they sowed grals
seed last year, because the hay or gas
there is thin. Such farmers never heami
orseed vegetation after the first year.
Only be still, gentlemen. and if it is agoid
season for hay, it will be thick enough
next year, my word for U.-Me. Farawr.
aEMEDT Foa THE 7tLM IN TUE EYE OF A
BEAST.
A correspondent of the Yankee Farmer,
suggests what he considers a new remedy
for a film, produced by a blow orother -
cidental causes of a stiilar nature, i. e.
spitting Tobaccojuice into the eye of the
animal. He- remarks, that be has seen it
tried only twice, but each time with entire
success; and with very sensible caulioi
concludes, by saying- the remedy requires
to be more fully established." We eta
assure our cautious friend, that the reme
dy has been fully established down Sonik
for years. The memories of our oldest
Toobacco chewers reach not the antiquiIy
of its discovery, We have often seen To

Take a large kettle of water and make

wash the left fetlock before', then the right,
then the (flocks behind, then wash the

will be well in a rew hours. There is no
danger of scalding the horse, it the above

IALT IN IOwA.
It is reported that there is a Salt Region
about fifty miles west from Fort Snelflg.
(St. Peers.) Several rur traders assert
that they frequeuily visited that section of
the country, and found salt and saltsprings
-- f t,-s it abundance. However that

the direction indicated. A gentleman com
ing through. some years'since. from the
Selkirk settlement to St. Peters, says,
"hat about t wo days ride from the latter
place, their company crossed a small creek,
the waters of which were exceedingly
brackish., resembling, however, a solution
ufglatuber salts; their ponies, though they
had travelled all day without water, would
not drink ofthem. A Sac Indian, known
ms "ludian Jim." says. .-there be salt, salt,
lig heaps of salt, in Sioux country; won't
ell white man %%here, cause Sioux kill
Jim. This Indian says he has not beet
there since he was a boy. "Sioux good
ludian then, bad Indian now." By this he
mseans, when he was there ohe Sioux and
his tatiuin were friendly. This was proba
ly buhc twenty-five or thirty years since,
when the hereditary feuds of these nations,
were a short time suspended through thd
eXertionb of the wily prophet atid the fa
moius Tecumseh. After the defeat and
Jeath of that narrior, these nations revi
ved their ancient enmity, which still con
iinues. We are disposed to place great
Coulidence in these re-ports, from the fact
the fur tradlers atached to the North Amer
ienn Fur Company have always been ex
treely anxious so preven that section of
the upper country heinig explored by any
but those in the itetrest or employ of that
Cotpany. Bly the treaty reputed late to
hae bieen made by Judge Duty, of Wi.
onson,. with the Sioux, a large reservation
livig in that direction, is said to have
been made its favor of certain individuals
fthat Company. What these mesn can
want of land in that region, unless it bd
for some valuable mineral, cannot well be
inagined. There are several specimens
of sail, reported to have been brought from
these maine's, in this neighborhood; we
shall endeavor to procure one as soon as
possible, fur the benefit of the curiosts.
One gcntletman, who asserts he has visited
hese miines, says, that around the margin
uf a small lake, the incrustations of salt are
several inches thick; in another place, the
water emanating from a sprimp, ripples
down over beds of~ salt chrystalhzed very
like the rock salt ond in the market. We
know tnot hnw far to credit these statements,
but they ase certainly worthy the atteaties
f the hardy adventurer. We will en
