Original, gortrg.
(Written for the " SPY.")
Hope and Faith.
==!
Hope is the anchor of life ;
It cheers us in every care ;
It supports us In turmoil and strife,
And sustains us in hours of despair;
It points to a future more bright,
'Tis a beacon that shines from afar.
And we hail it with fondest delight,
As the mariner hails the north star.
In youth 'tis our guide through the world,
When trials and sorrows overwhelm
Our life barque, whose sails are unfurleli,
Then hope smiling stands at the helm;
In manhood it still lures us on,
Giving courage and strength to the heart;
When ourjoys and our pleasures are gone,
Its cheering beams never depart.
Faith is the guide to the soul!
IL points with its linger above,
When affliction's waves over us roll,
To the mansions of rest and of love.
Far brighter than hope Ls its beam,
When the soul from its earth tics is rb,
It guides us o'er Death's chilling stream
And anchors us safely in Heater.
Let me kiss you for your mother—
For your sister—cousin—aunt—
Or for somebody or other
Whom I long to kiss and can't.
I could wish my love beside me
As I've you beside me now;
But the pleasure is denied me,
So I'll kiss you anyhow.
I adore the lady dearly
(I assure you that I do,)
Can you understand me clearly
That my kiss is not for you?
In your keeping I may leave it,
• As another's—not your own;
So I beg you'll not receive it
As a gift, but as a loan.
You have silken, yellow tresses,
While my love's are black as ni@ht ;
And your eyes—e'en Love confesses—
Are a dozen times as bright.
But I covet from another
What another cannot grant;
So I'll kiss you for your mother—
Or year sister—cousin—aunt!

Post Ofßee stud Postal Service
The conveyance of despatches by post
was first adopted by Cyrus,ou his Scythian
expedition. about 300 B. C., for which
purpose he built houses at several stations
large enough to contain a number of men
and horscs; and every courier, on his ar
rival, dclivcazd his dispatch's to the post
master, who immediately forwarded them
by fresh horses. The Greeks and Romans
adopted a method somewhat similar to
this for the conveyance of their letters.
Posts are said to have been established in
England, as early as the reign of Edward
111. In the time of Henry VIII post
horses were taxed at the rate of a penny
a ; and in 15S1, an official, called
the chief postmaster, is spoken of. Un
der the Stuarts the postal service was
considerably improved. In 1754 mail- -
coaches were established, as being safer
and wore secure than the ordinary post
horse hitherto employed. The penny
post was set up in London and its suburbs
iu 1682 ; by one Murray, an upholsteter ; it
was afterwards claimed by Government,
and the charge increased to twopence.
The uniform rate of one penny per half
ounce for letters was introduced by Mr.
Rowland Hill, and came into operation on
the 10th of January, 1840. The use of
stamps, for facilitating the despatch of
letters, was introduced on the oth of May
following.
How to Procure Copyrights
What is necessary to be done to secure
a copyright? Many persons seem to sup•
pose it is a complicated and difficult busi
ness, which can only be done through
an attorney. I t is, however, a very simple
matter. The first step is to deposit—
before publication takes place—a printed
copy of the titlo of the book or other
publication with the clerk of the United
States District Court wherein the author
or proprietor resides, and pay hits a fee
of fifty cents for recording and an addi
tional fee of fifty cents for a copy under
seal. On publication, the filet of the
entry must be printed on the title, , '
and within one month of the date of
publication a printed complete copy must
be transmitted, at the expense of the
author or proprietor, to the library of
Congress at 'Washington.

INDIAN COEN AND ITS USES.
A bushel of Indian corn contains more
nutriment than a bushel of wheat; but
corn meal should not be ground fine . or
it will not keep sweet. There is uo grain
that can be put to so many good uses and
served up in so many different ways, as
corn and corn meal.
First we have the green corn, roasting
ear and soup in the early, and the dried
corn soup and hominy the balance of the
year. These dishes every good house
keeper knows how to prepare, being among
the most simple in the culinary art.
Aud then by grinding it into meal, what
visions of delicious eating float before our
eyes. First, we have the corn cake, made
of meal and water, and a little salt, if you
are too poor to use eggs and milk, mixed
into a dough or batter and baked on a
griddle. Then corn bread orpone, which
can only be made properly by about one
housekeeper in ten. Then mush and
milk and fried mush. We have never
seen the individual that did not .like one
or the other. Many fail in making good
mush by not boiling it enough. When it
is merely scalded it has a raw taste.
Then there is a very good corn meal pud
ding, made by stirring the meal into
scalded skim milk till it is -as thick as
gruel, and, when cool, add ginger, cin
namon, nutmeg, salt and sweetening to
suit the taste, and a little fine cut suet and
sonic raisins or dried peaches, and a fine
cut apple. It should bake an hour or
more, according to size. This is a good
pudding. -And then see into how many
dishes corn becomes a palatable and favor
. ite mixture. It the is cheapest and most
wholesome food that man can live on, and
should be on the table of both rich and
poor more frequently than it now is, in
some one of its many forms.
How TO MANAGE BONES.—A corres
pondent of the journal of Agriculture
gives the following as his experience every
year for the past ten years, that being as
often as he could collect bones enough to
fills tub:
With a sledge-hammer, break the bones
into pieces of one, two or three inches;
take a hogshead tub, put in two or three
inches of hard wood ashes, the same
depth of bones, thee ashes and bones un
til full ; pound or press solid as convenient;
fill with water or urine, all that it will ab
sorb. If done in the spring or summer,
by the following spring it will shovel out
decomposed, the bones being as soft as
chalk. Then add all your hen manure,
shovel and rake it over once a week fur
three or four weeks before planting time ;
by that time it will be finely powdered.
Put about equal to a handful of compost
into a hill, for corn, potatoes, squashes,
melons, &c., when it will be found to for
ward the crops to a wonderful deers.
FATTENLNG AsrmAr.,s of all kinds lay
on flesh very rapidly as the weather
grows cooler. Keep beeves and sheep in
pasture as long as the feed is good, but
yard them at night, and feed twice a day
with grain, if they, are to be marketed
soon; otherwise simply feed so as to be
sure they are constantly gaining. Pigs
should have cooked food, and plenty of it.
Push forward their fattening as rapidly as
possible, for at no season will they gain
faster. Keep them clean, and give them
warn', sheltered nests. Poultry also gain
very rapidly, and it is best to fatten them
on scalded areal, with corn, wheat screen
ings, and other food in addition, at day"-
light in the morning and late in the after
noon.
COAL OIL FOR ltuEum_mrsm.—l wish
to inquire if your readers are aware what
a valuable remedy the common coal oil is
in rheumatic cases ? I have been using
considerable of it lately, and have found
almost immediate relief from it. It is
surprising how supple and free from pain
it will render some of our old stiff backs,
sufferimv from all sorts of " cricks," and
the weight of divers scores of years. So
very valuable a remedy deserves to be
more generally known, as its cheapness
and abundance renders it generally ac
cessable. Care should be exercised it
using at night before lamp or fire light,
as it sometimes explodes..—Go. Gent.
Hors.—A gentlemen Nth° writes from
lowa that he raised three tons of hops
lastyear from four acres of ground, and sold
them at fifty-one and a half cents per
pound, making sonic $3,000, and sells the
roots for $2O per acre. And we do not
see why they cannot be cultivated just as
successfully in other parts of the country,
especially in the fine truck lands of Dela
ware, 3laryland and Virginia, and in some
parts of Pennsylvania. The revenue of a
single farm alone, at the above rates of
production and sale, would be immense.
MINCE PIES —Take a pound of beef,
free from skin and strings, and chop it
very fine; then two pounds of suet,which
likewise pick and chop ; then add three
pounds of currants, nicely cleansed and
perfectly dry, one pound and a half of
tipples, the peel and juice of a lemon,
half a pint of sweet wine, half a nutmeg.
and a few cloves and mace, with a pimen•
to in fine powder; have citron, orange
and lemonpeel ready, and put some in
each of the pies when made.
G IiANARIES.-Clean out, and make
vermin-proof in sonic way—best by setting
them on posts capped with fist stones or
tin pans. After grain is in, care must be
incessantly exercised, lest by some heed
lessness the steps are left down, or in
some other way mice 1. - -,et in. After that,
trapping, fumigation. etc., must be resort
ed to, and these are always uncertain is
operation.
COWS AND BUTTED —Fall butter may
be nearly as good as that made in June.
As the pastures fail, feed a little grain,
with turnips and pumpkins, removing the
seed=. which act on the kidneys and
almost uniformly decrease the flow of
milk.
AVATEIL—Bring water to house and
barn by pumps or by pipes from springs.
The pipes must be sunk below freezing,
and the pump or spout also protected.
TIMBER.-Cut for building purposes,
for fence posts. rails. etc., and for what
ever purpose durability is required, and
lay it up for seasouin,t,,.
