OUR MAY. '
i,. BXI. J. STISZ.
"Like an angel on the earth."
Where is May? Where is May? I hear not her voice.
As tbe voice of the lark ringing clear.
And her song never bid now my weary heart rejoice
' Nor her step erer sound i on my ear.
Eh was good she was pore ; she was ours our
own; 1
' - And her eyes beamed tbe love of her heart ;
But. O, why do I sigh aa I'm sitting here alone?
- Tell m.e, why, bitter tears, do-ye start T
EtHl the birds sing their songs as they e'er have
done.
. " And we list to their evening lays ;
And the choir in the church ah! we miss the
voice of one,
'As the hymn of ear worship we raise.
Where is May? Where ij May? Where is May,
our own,
' While her eyes beam the lore of her heart? .
Why.O, why do I sigh as I'm sitting here alone?
lell me why, scalding tears, do ye start ?
She is gone she is gone to her long, long home ;
- And we made her a arave on the bill,
Where the birds sweetly sing, and the wild low-
- ers bloom,
- By the side of the murmuring rill.
While the ran through the trees sheds his last
feint ray.
' And the winds softlv sizh as her heart.
And my faith takes a glimpse of the Resurrection
dav,
t ' Tell me why, bitter tears, do ye start ?
, Is Favor or Fat Meat. Dr. Dixon, in a
late number of fbe Scalpel, in an article on
"Diet," assumes that the"use of oil would de
crease the Tictims of consumption nine-tenths,
and this issVie whole secret of cod liver oil.
The following is a summary of observations on
this subject, made by Dr. Hooker :
1. Ot all the persons between the ages of
fifteen and twenty-two years, more than one
fifth cannot eat fat meat.
- 2. Of persons at the age of forty-five, all
excepting less than one in fifty habitually use
fat meat-
3. Of persons who, between the ages of fif
teen and twenty -two, avoid fat meat, a few ac
quire an appetite for it, and live to a good old
age, while the greater portion die with phthisic
before thirty-five.
4. Of persons dying with phthisic between
tbe age of twelve and forty -five, nine-tenths,
at least, have never used fat meat. .
Most individuals who avoid fat meat also
use little butter or oily gravies, though many
compensate for this want, in part at least, by
a free use of those articles, and also milk,
eggs, and saccharine substances. But they
constitute an imperfect substitute for fat meat,
without which, sooner or later, the body is si
most sure to show the effects of deficient ca
lorification. ; Notwithstanding the high authority from
which the above emanates, we believe there is
too much fat meat, grease, Ac., as a general
thing, used in this country. In tbe colder
latitudes, a larger quantify of oleaginous food
is required to keep up the beat of the body,
than in the warmer ones. It depends mainly,
therefore, upon where you are living, whether
you should use much or little fat meat tbo'
we admit that it will not do to abstain from
It entirely any where.
Comparative Value or Roots for Cows.
A writer in the Connecticut State Agricultu
ral Transactions gives, frco a careful experi
ence in winter feeding of milch cows, his
Judgment of the comparative value of roots.
Carrots promote the richest milk ; sugar beets
are next best; potatoes follow, and turnips
class last in the product as to quality, but first
as to quintity. They were compared as fed,
pound for pound. Carrots he thinks best for
aiazil families, where they desire but a small
quantity of milk, but of the richest quality,
and a fat, sleek-looking cow. Turnips are tbe
Lest when a large quantity, and not quality, is
desired.
Tomatoes are benefitted by shortening in.
Three-fourths of the mature fruit is produced
upon a small part of the vine nearest to the
root, say one-third or one-fourth of its length.
It is recommended to stop the further devel
opment of vines after a fair supply of fruit is
set, by clipping off tbe vines growing beyond.
The clipping should not be carried too far, as
a supply of foliage is required to gather food
from the air, . One of our most successful cul
tivators makes it a rule to let no vine extend
beyond lour feet from its root. Ex.
C5A man in Ohio lately cut down a mul
berry tree and split it, and in the heart ol it
found a black snake. The wood was sound
here the snake was lying, not room enough
for it to turn round. From the growth of the
timber it is supposed that it had been there
aome fifteen years. The snake was six feet in
length, blind, and bad no use of itself, except
its head.
"Xow, spos'n you was to be turned into an
animal," said Jim, "what would you like to be,
Lill V "Oh, I would like to be a lion," re
plied Bill,because he's so" Oh no.'don't
be a lion, Bill," interrupted little Tonwho
had recently had some painful experience at
chool, be a wasp, and then you can sting
the schoolmaster!"
Young ladies should not write poetical love
letters. It is dangerous. Such a one was
written to a Kentucky beau, not long since,
which so affected him that he stole a horse to
go and see the writer, and got in jail to pay
forgetting in love with a poetess. "

A dying West India planter, groaning to his
lavorue negro servant, sighed out, "Ah, Sam.
do, t m going a long journey.". "Xever
mina, maasa." said the negro, consolingly,
"him all do way dovin hill." " . ,
An Irish dragoon, on hearing that his wid
owed mother had been married since ha left
home, exclaimed, "Murther t I hope she won't
have a son oulder than me if she does I lose
the estate." ' "
