The following fine poem, by Uco. W. Cutter, of
Covington, Ky., Dlackwood has pronounced "the
best lyrio of the eentury :"
Harness uie down with your iron blinds,
lie sure of your curb and rein,
For I scum the strength of your puny bands,
As a tempest, scorns u chain ;
How 1 laughed as I lay concealed from fight
For many a countless hour,
At the childish boosts of human might,
And tho prido of huinnn power.
When I saw an nrniy upon the land,
A navy upon the sens,
Creeping along a snail-like band,
Or wailing a wayward breeze,
When 1 saw tho peasant reel
With tho toil ho faintly bore,
As he turned at the turdy wheel,
Ur toiled at the weary our.
When I measured the panting courser's speod,
The flight of tho carrier dove,
As they l.re n law a King decreed,
Or the lines of impatient love ;
1 could not think huw the world would feel,
As these wero outstripped afar
When 1 should bo bound to the rushing keel.
Or chained to the Hying car !
lln ! ha ! ha ! They found 1110 at lat ;
And they invited ino forth ut length,
And I rti.-hed to my throno with a thunder Must,
And laughed ill my iron utrength !
Oh ! then yosuw 11 wondrous change
On earth and ocean wido,
V here now my ltery nruiivsrugo,
Nor wail l.'i wind or lid'-.
Enirah! hurrah! the waters o'er
'J hi mountain sleep decline;
T ine space have yielded to my power
t he giant streams of the queenly West,
And the Orient floods divine.
Tim ocean pales where'er I swcip,
To hear my strength rejoice,
And uiuustvrs of the briny deep,
Cower trembling t uiy voice,
laarry tho wealth and ore of ciuth,
Thc thoughl ot tlio godlike min t,
The wind lays uiter m.v going forth,
lighining is loll behind.
In the darksome depths of tho futiiuinie.-J uiinu
My tiresome arm doth play,
Where the rooks ne'er saw tho sun's decline,
Or the dawn ot the glorious day ;
1 bring earth's glittering jewels up
From the hidden caves below.
And i ni;'l the fountain's granite cup
With 11 crj.ita.1 giuh o'enlow.
I Mow the bellows, 1 f'.rge. Ihe :cel,
In all tile h-.p of trade ;
I h:innuer the ore and turn the wheel
Where iny arnn ol iCrength are made
I manago the furnace, the mill, the mii'.t

A ti i nil tn doing- I put in pr.:.t
On every tutur.ii'y e e.

cr days Used to excel every Indian "on tliu
plains w ith whom he came in contact in
running, jumping and wrestling. He is
know 11 universally among the Indians as th
'fust runuer.' He tells us that he was never
badly pressed but once in ruuniug, and thut
was many years ngo, when he wns encamped
at the Maudlin -village, on the Missouri river.
The Indians had brought in thoir fastest
runner und challenged tlie General to run.
All the tribes in that part of the country
wen; present, and 11II were iu high sice,
thinking they had a sure thing. General
Harney prepared hi insult and went out aliout
half a mile from camp across a ravine, which
was as near us the ludiutis were allowed to
come to his cuinp, and met them. The In
dians were so confident of w hininc the race.
j tiiut they bet everything they possessed on
me result, uuil the olucers ot Ilurncy s com
mand also bucked their favorite to the full
est extent. The Indians would bet a bulfulo
robe against a ping of tobacco, or a pony
against a few pounds of sugar and coffee.
The odds they considered in their favor.
The distance run was eight huudred yards,
and one from each side chosen to start 'them,
and as judges of the race. Tlie Indian got
almost fifteen feet the advantage of the Gen
eral on the ttart. but supposing he could
I beat the Indian easily he did not mind it ut
; first ; but it. wus a long distance to gain,
j and by putting forth his utuiost efforts and
straining every nerve, he only beat the lu
dian three feet. The Indian dropped upon
1 the ground at the ecd of the race exhausted,
j and was so chagrined at ids defeat that ho
j would, under no circumstances, come near
1 the General again. The General would only
! accept a few trifling things for his winnings,
, but gave the best back to the Indian. From
j that time he has been known among the In

r- rniiiK and Yt idliing; Trees.
We consider early winter to be the best
time tor scraping und washing the trunks
ot trees. It is well know 11 to nil observing
fruit-growers thut tho loose bark of trees is
the winter quarters of myriads of insects,
w here they securely remain until the ensu
ing spring, when the warm, genial weather
invitis them to quit their cozy homes and
begin their destructive operations for the
season. We have found a narrow saw, rather
fine toothed, to be nn excellent tool in rasp
ing oil' tlie superfluous baik. It accomplishes
it more uuifurmly thnu a hoc, trowel or
other scraper ; a '.rowel or a short handled
hoe, however, is very good, when the other
may not bo possessed. After the bark is
removed, the trunks should be washed
thoroughly with a preparation of whale-oil
soap and water, say iu proportion of a pound
of the soap to four gallons of water. It can
be applied to large trees with a hickory
broom or a stiff whitewash brush nnd to
small trees, especially dwarfs, with the hand
scrub brush. Sickly trees, which can at this
season be easily detected by being covered
with a sptci-s of fungi, or perhaps more
properly a peculiar insectivorous deposit
should be scrubbed so as to completely re
move this. Tlie mixture will of itself bene
fit the tree, while the removal from the stem
cf all extraneous and injurious substances
will give to it new health und vigor the en
suing season iu some instances to a surpris
ing extent. When whale-oil sonp is not
obtainable, ley may be used, but it should
not be very strong, 01 it might be injurious
tn the roots of the trees if applied plentifully
and the tree small. Oernuiutvicn I'tltrrroj,', .

given to the expediency of establishing fac
toiii s for the manufacture of butter, those
for the production of cheese having proved
so successful. It appears by the discussions
held ot the lato State fair iu liuflulo, New
York, that butter factories have already
been put in operation in that State. It was
stated by a Mr. ShaHuck that two such es
tablishments had been erected in his county,
and that they had competed with some of
the best dairies in Chenango county, nnd in
every case proved that, it is more to the ad
vantage of funnel's to have their milk work
ed up in factories, instead of families, even
where the most perfect process known is
pursued carefully. The average result of
the fact cry system is fur above tho average
of individual butter makers, many ot whom
lose their labor and waste their milk. Now
let our farmers take the hint and establish
such factories among themselves. They will
avoid a good deal of waste and tho commu
nity will obtain a much larger supply of good
butter.
I'l.ANTiN" Ari'i.K TiiKF.s We are pleased
to see that farmers are disposed to pay more
attention t" the cultivation of the apple,
which has la-en so much neglected of lato
years. The idea w hich has gotten into the
heads of somo that they canuot be grown
any longer here, is a very foolish oqe. They
will do just as well now as ever, if the pro
per attention is paid to the preparation of
the grouud, the selection of varieties, thu
planting out, and the after cultivation. A
lifd-loug farmer informs us that an apple
orchard ia fully as profitable as any other
crop on tho farm for the fpace of ground
occupied. And be entirely agrees with w hat
we have often repeated that this result can
always be realized if the same care is devot
ed to the orchard that there is to the corn,
potatoe or grain field. The secret lies here.
