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.
Yes! now I know thai look of light;
'Tis love forgotten be it never;
It turns to daj my life of night;
Ob live! oh live! that look forever!

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
