Lines By . 0 lady ! I have seen thee often, fBut never knew thee half so fuir : I've marked the moon thy beauty soften, And loved tbee gilding fashions glare. And now, beside this lamp alone, Why beams that eye so bright to me ; Why hast not so on others shone. Why were they so unbless'd by thee ? ' Another s eye as dark as thine Hath tiash'd a soul perhaps ns high, And others' locks as lovely twine On brows would sootheas deep a sigh; As snow.surpassiug bosoms heave With words as sweet and tones as swelling; As heaven-descended footsteps leave j As warm a heart, as sad a dwelling. ifee or tbiue I deem they are not, I'm bound to tbee. none can unbind; For all but for thyself I care not, * Thyself alone?thyself of mine. Lov'st thou me, loveliest lady ? say ! Thou dost?thou dost?that blessed tear, That blush, oh tell me.' yet delay. 'Tis what I dare not liope to near.

The young men of New Kogland are lately developing wonderful Elding powers. Chicken Cholera. I This ravaging disease, once canr 1 mencing in the poultry yard, is apt to depopulate in sufficient numbers 1 to discourage the most ardent chicken ! fancier. Numerous reasons are assigned as to the cause of the disease. Some declare it is due to unclean ' hen houses ; souie attribute it t?vermin (hen lice;) while others advance the theory that it is caused by too fine breeding. The latter supposed cause is hardly plausible, for 1 havel known whole ilocks of common fowls' to perish with it in a day and night. I am quite confident the main cause is the feed used. A long continuous feed or diet of any one kind of food will in due time very seriously affect digestion ; the bowels become loose end irregular, the droppings are of a yellow greenish hue? which is always the forerunner of cholera. Quite a number of instances have come to my knowledge where this disease was certainly caused by feeding corn exclusively. As the disease sectns to prevail more in i spring time, (in this vicinity at least,) when the fowls arc confined, while the garden is getting a start, and while thus shut up many farmers say they "feed all the corn j they will eat;" and here let me say, that cholera breaks out in these corn-fed yards before it is known where a miscellaneous diet is given.; Fanciers always provide their fowls with a varied diet, and cholera is comparatiucly speaking a stranger among these flocks. Healthy fowls are not apt to have the cholera, and judicious feeding and proper care and attention will keep the flocks in a healthy condition. Last spring a gentleman sent for me to come and seo his fowls, j which he said were dying with the ; cholera. As soon as I entered the yard I discovered the cause of the disease. Lumps of soured corn meal, which had been mixed with i cold water, were scattered around. All that was done to check the disease, in this instance, was the ; removal of the meal, and subsequent ; feeds of meal were mixed with j scalding water. I keep my flocks : in health by change of diet, feeding : about as follows: The morning meal ! should be ground oats, rye and corn ! about equal quantities of each * - _l 1.1 j ground rogetner. xuis suuuiu uc mixed with boiljng or scalding wa; ter. It .should be so mixed that it ! will crumble when thrown upon the grouud. Cover it up in the vessel ' it is mixed in with an old beg, and let stand half an hour to steam and | cook. To five quarts of this meal, I (hefore the water is poured on,) a j teaspoonful of fine salt should be i well stirred through it. Once a month also adi| tr? the above-named ; quantity of meal a tablespoon ft;! of ; flax-seed meal, and occasionally a ' teaspoonful flour of sulphur?this ! should not, however, be fed except during good weather. If confined in close quarters, at noon a feed of green food is necessary. If fowls j have nn unlimited range they are , better to work for their noon'day meal. In sinal) yards suspend a cabbage head, so it will hang aboyt six or eight inches from the ground. At evening, at this season of the ! year, cracked corn, oats, or good ; screenings snould be fed. During cold weather corn is preferable, as it contains more heat. I sometimes vary the morning feed by giving boiled oats or ryo. Corn meal should never be fed mixed with cold water. Poultry will eat more of it than they should, and when it comes to swell it produces crop-bound, sours, indigestion follows,?and cholera is the final result. I Lave known chicks when dying off by whole broods with gapes, which were fed on cold water mixed with i meal, to be immediately cbecked and finally entirely stopped by scalding the meal. If those that J are troubled with gapes will feed scalded meal and good .screenings, and see that the chicks got clean, fresh and pure water, which should be thrown out and dishes washed out and water replenished often, and see that there arc no cesspools or impure water standing around where 1 the chicks can quench their thirst ? the gapes will disappear. Immediately upon the first evidence of <-hn]#>r.i'?i annroach?which mav he TI # readily told by tho droppings?the morning feed should be mixed as usual, but to the water add enough j Jamaica ginger to make the water look bluish or milky, and then scald meal us usual. This will immediately check the disease. Pulj verized alum is also good mixed with the feet?. A lump ot assafoetida should be kept in the drinking water for a day or two. Do I not feed any whole grains to the 1 birds until you are satisfied they have fully recovered. One of the most excellent things to keep ' fowls in health is feeding with their mixed food powdered charcoal. An ear of corn placed in the oven until the kernels are charred black, they will devour with avidity. In hot weather see thai they have shade, and good, well-ventilated : houses ; observe these instructions and poultry diseases will be com parative strangers among your ; flocks. Renovation of Soil This new salvation for the soil consists of the native cow-pea and ;vetch eupplemeoted by marl ami phosphates, extensive beds of which ibound in the country. The vegetable pavt *>f this fertilizing combination accommodatingly grows at a season of the year to be out of the way of the more useful crops, and the report of State agricultural cornittces upon experiments with the manure for two or three years past are verv encouraging and interesting. Some thoroughly impoverished lands in different places were operated upon at an expense of eight do lars an acre, and with astonishing results. Wheat for instance, was produce 1 at the rate of forty bushels to the acre oats fifty seven bushels, and good hay (Bermuda grass) four tons. This showing is equal to the best yield of the richest prairie farms, and if this be benificent fertilizer?the proper application of which seems now, for the first time, to be thoroughly tested and understood?can be so generally and rhonnlv used as is believed, then VMV,rv ; ? ? ?y South Carolina has achieved her in* dependence in several important food products for which she has heen accustomed to pay burdensome tribute to the Noath and West.
