Selected Poetry, THE SOLDIER'S DREfAM, The followling tanijthin linne were written during the war 4>y the 11ov. J. L. Reynoldes, of South Carolina University, in, coIntmo ration of a beaiutiful intnwice of wonman's devotion, that occurredl While the University buildings, Colambia, South Carolina, were -sed as a hospitai : The soldier boy lay on his pallet in pain, Where the student his vigils once kept, And there came with each throb of his fe vor-pIaIr'ild brain, Sweet mineiorios of hosoe and lie wept. but a d.aumghtor of earth, in her womanly rueeltuesv, Drew near him her vigils to keep, And the charm of her volco, in its sisterly swootnuas, Beguilod thu sad slai' ta sleep. As her deliaAt- I ,<,d i i ! ),is palu-furrow ed brow, And het fan * aie of blessing, lie dreamed of t. -ii.i wicre the heavens endow The good with an .,gel's caressing. Ills hard bed of straw aoemcd as light as the air; An angel's wings rutled above, Ouhis pale, sunkeun chek foll a tremulous tear, And a voice whisptred nOcUts or love. Bewildered and charmotl by th beautiful vision, Unconscious of .]1I to and. of tine, lie deemed hhimsolf Law in tho regions ely sian, And now in his childhood's fair clime. Thus calming the woopor, and toothing. the nngidalhed, V Tho visitaut. watched at his -sidce, And the soidier boy turod fron the bcd where hi languishett, With a smile to lia angel-and died.

A Little History with a Moral, "Corry O'Lanus," the humorous cor respondent of the Brooklyn Eugfe, i-s roegnsible4o.t the following "little sto. ry, ifnstrative of the demands of the Radical party: O'Blignte thinks that if a man wants every thing tuo best way is to lot him have it, for then he wifl be satisfied and won't want anything else. If the people of the North wil only give the Rudicals all the offices, and the white people of the South will grant ne gro sulf'rage, give their lands and perso ual property and then come in with ropes ron id their necks and submit to be hung without any bother, we shall have peace. This reminds me of a little story. It vas abont a man in .onnaugliht his name was O'Keegan. Ho was a decent, quiet, orderly, peaceablo sort of a mai, who believed in a quiet life. He lived out of town-and had to trav el a bit of lonely wood with a bog on one side and woods on the other. One day as he was traveling all slone and it was quito dark, tho. moon hmadp't risen, and that. part of the country wasn't lighted with gas in those days, when who should step up from behind a lamp post., but a big nurtherin' villain, with a shillalah under his arm, "Good morning to you, Mr O'Keegan cays he, an' I'll trouble you for the time of day." Mr. O'Keegan took out his ivatch to answer the question when the black guard grabs it. "It's a fine repeater ye have got, Mr. O'Keegan," says he, "an' it's in danger ye are of losing it ; so I'll just take care of it for ye," and Ie stuffed it in his pock Mr. O'Keegan says to himself, says, "Bei te'r let him have the watch, and he'll be-satisfied'and go away." But he didn't. "Mr. O'Keegan," savs he, "may be ye have some small change about ye. that. vou'd be happ- to Iw' mw ; aind you'll alive me th, -.oe of going through your p''- : I 011;ng out." Thanks Mr O'Ke:' to '.-. "lie only wants my noh'ey. anl I'l intherl , let him have I haLttan thl ave any trouble wilh the fkllUw." So he shelled ont and thought Ie had,. sationed the rapscallion, and was going .off quite peaceably. , "Whist, Mr. O'Keegan," says he "you have a mighty nne coat. that ud sat hi. me, and I'll trouble you for Mr. O'Keegan thought it wasn't worth while to light about ia Gon, so lie pulls it..off, ansil tbo other chap put-i it on, and Mr. 0 Keegn thought, he was goIng to get home lat llsk inl his sirt sleeves But, the rapacious enms wasn't satisfie I yet, "It's bad the ouit. looks wit.hort file waistcoat, Mr. O'Keeigan,' says le, "and if ye'd be nfter le'.ting me have that gir. nlienl pohiceably, it would save a msisun derstanding but ween naff Mr. O'Keyegn believed in concession, 8.L he petled again, though he began to shiver,, and thought it. was cold comfor. to be ia Christiana ndter such circumnstan. ces. But the chap hadn't done with him yet. "ft's your boots I want now,' says Mr. O'Keegan begatn to thinkr that the chap was a litile too radical, but as the chap in iadd .thiat the .hoots were a, indispea~vsbl cea'sssionm, MJr. O 'Kesgtan pulled thenm o', saying to himself "le's got every thing ntow, and I will be of f." W'hike the villain was puatting on the boots. Mr. U'KeeLgan wishisdl himt goodi niight~ansd was troisi-ng off, whens the' unreasonatblo amadihum calis after him. 'Mr. O'Keegan," said lie, just st op w~here you are. I have your watch and your mnonoy, and your co~at and .waist e-oiat, and your boots~, and l bai've dnet. is all about, yon that. is worth taking.

"As a sequel to the offortu of sever al Southern Legislatures to encourage ; aninigration-from Europe, in ho#.es of obtaining a substitute for negro labor,: a Irov* of the State Board of Inni gration to theLogilabtrre of Virginia, is deserv . of -notice. This docu mont sayt io- effort made thus far are without prati@aP1 result, confirm ing the oxperraee of other Southern States to sinilar endeavors. Tkefail urc in Virginia is attributed to the in forior quality of those laborers hereto fore sont into that State by agents an speculators, the men being dosoribeod as the 'refuse of omigrants,' unskilled in any kind of employment. The ie port donies that the disappointiunn on the part of those who returned was fromn want of suitable food as has boon alleged, and ascribes it to their own 'characteristic faithlessness and total want of moral principle.' As the best class of emigrants arriving from Europe universally desire to escape fron the position of tenants aid to be como proprietors of the soil, the course for Virginia to pursue is to blold out liberal inducements to set tlers to make purchases of arable land. The greatmnistako has beer to indulge a. horeditary prejudi'e against divid ing and selling landed property, from fear of introducing an olement lies tile to local institutions ; but since the .'pouliar feature' has been re amoved by the ediot of emancipation, objections of this sort are groundless. Without an effort of special advan tages in selling lands, the Southern States can never compote with the fertile West as a field for imqiigra tion."

To give cat. tle dry meal I also cannot approve, It ccrtainly is an & Alish d fact by the experionco made in difforeni countrios, that meal, mixed with oul haystraw, or obaff, scalded with hot water, has a far groater fattening and milk-giving property than raw meal : besides, it inducos the cattle to cat hay, straw, or chaff, in larger proper tionis than if each fed by itself. E"vei if the straw or 6ther inferior food doe. not inureaso fat or milk, still it is no cessary to fill the stomach. I ao knowledge, that fediig 8a abovQ gives more trouble and requires more aittentionl froia tha faryvaer himself, but ho is imply paid for it by the bet ter thriving of his stock and the lesn quantity of food ho uses. "Keep your cattle thr 'gh tho win tr in an even and warm tomporature well-ventilliated ; keep thom canwi. give them nothing but chopped tood, well scalded, (cxoept at night a little hamy or straw,) and I will guarantee your success in fattening and iuilk pro. duction. L. A. HANSEN. Clifton, Fairfax county, Va., i5o. vember, 1866. MAsiEs FoR. IfORsEs.-ThIo follow mng recipo was given ime by a colo brated stoople-chasor-I novor know any horse refuse it : Take a feed of omts, i double handful of linseed for onch horse, and boil for throo hours - then turn into a large tub or earthen. ware pan, and add as muoh bran, with just enough warn water to moisten the whole through ; put a cloth over it, and let it stand an hour ; than mix it well, and feed as soon as it is cool enough. This mash is very useful when horses in hard condition "dry up" and grow thin, in spito of con titnual foods of corn. I give it once a wok all the year round, but oftener it' required by any particular horse. A Few beans Imay bo boiled with the 0or1n if tho horso is in a very low con dition.-Lonin FIwd WAIn'rS ON IOnSES.-. H. howe, of Nebraska, informs th Rural New Yorker, how to cure warts on horses : "M ix equal (piantit ies of spirits of tur p)itiintm and sulihurio acid, stiring slowly in a tumbler and afterwards bottle the mixture. Rub greaso around the baso of the wart and then apply the medicino to the wart with a feather oiice or twice a. day ; it will gradually eat thomi off. I have thus takon them oif a horse's nook when as large as turkey's ogg." FACTs IN FARMING.-There are come things in farming that are establish. ed, namely : That maut a must be applied, not only to get up land, but to kceop it up, .hat wet a.il must be drained, either by ditching or otherwise. That sub soiling lsood. That grain should be sowin carlier than it generally is; that it should be harve.ited earlier than it is 1)ao ; that grasi slould be out wheni in blossom ; and never when rij.', unlos; for sid. That our soil is not sufficiently worked, espolally in hio0ul crop ; that st iring the soil and keeping it well pulverized, is a partial guard agaiist 'drouth. That the most advantageous grain for horseo is the oat ; that it improvas fodder to cook or steami it. That warn sholtor In winter saves fodder, and benefits stock, That the best blood is the most profit able. TIhamt there ia much advantage in seleti'ng the best seed, the earliest miatured and the plurrpost. Thlat in and-in breeding is not good in close and consecutive relationship, but must be carried on by foreign infusion otf the same blood. That warm quar ters and good treatnment are necessa ry in witer to produce eggs freom most liens. ThaLt top-.drcssmg grass lands shoniJ Be done with fine, well rotted manure, applied close to the ground. .1That it is, in general, best to~ sell produdme as soon as ready for umarket. That blackberries require rich soil; strawberries and raspberries vegetablo mould- such as rotton loaves, ohip manure, &e. That more lime shoild be used, TEhat salt, in sonic oases, Is go for Land-algo plaster, the. phosphates, guaino,- &e. I'hat fall ploughing Is tbhe best for iday lands ; that land should not be plowed wet.~ That you1ng orchards should be cultivated. That eummpost boaps tire .*. good institution. That clay and limnerather tluan animal ma nuro, be employed in raising~ frri-t. Thai~t manurn should-be rotted before it is used. That agricultural papers are an advanitageo to the farmer.
