POETRY.
Woman's Heart.
Say, what is woman's heart! A thing
Where all the deepest feelings spring
A harp whose tender chords reply
Unto the touch of harmony
A world whose fairy scenes are fraught
"With all the colored dreams of thought
A bark still that will blindly move
Upon the treacherous seas of love .
What is its lovel A careless stream
A changeless star an endless dream
A smiling flower that will not die
"A ibeauty and a mystery."
Its storms are light as April showers; '
Its joys as bright as April flowers;
In hopes as sweet as summer air,
And dark as winter its despair. -
What are its hopes! Rainbows that throw
A radiant light where'er they go,
Smiling,when Heaven is overcast,
Yet melting into storms at last.
Bright cheats that come with syren words,
Beguilling it like summer's birds.
That stay while Nature round them blooms,
33ut flee away when winter comes.
"What is its hate? A passing frown
A single weed 'mid blossoms sown,
That cannot flourish there for long
A harsh note in an angel's song -A
summer cloud, that all the while,
Is lighted by a sunbeam's smile;
A passion that scarce hath a part
Atnidst the gems of woman's heart.
And what is its despair! A deep
Fever that leaves no tears to weep
A woe thai works with silent power,
As canker worms destroy a flower "
A viper that shows not it wakes,
Until the heart it preys on breaks
A mist that robs the star of light, .
And wraps it up in darkest night.
Then what is woman's heart! A thing'
Where all the deepest feelings spring
A harp whose tender chords reply
Unto the touch of harmony
A world where fairy scenes are fraught
With all the colored dreams ofthought
A bark that still will blindly move
Upon the treacherous sea of love.
All is Fair ia Politics.
The Uoston Post does up its principle in rhyme
as follows:
To cheat and lie, and to deceive
In politics, is fair;
And, for your party, 'tis no sin
Unto a lie to swear.
iV
To Gentlemen.
It chills my blood to hear the blest Supreme
ltudelv appealed to on each trifling theme!
Maintain your rank, vulgarity despise,
To swear is neither brave, polite nor wise;
You would not swear upon a bed of death;
Reflect, your Maker now may stop yourreath.
Reasons for thick Ankles.
"Harry, I cannot think," says Dick,
"What makes my ankles grow so thick!"
"You do not recollect,1' says Harry,
'How great a calf they have to carry!"

The Pot of Boiled milk
Some time ago after a juvenile temperance
procession had been dismissed, I called a chub
by cheeked, flaxen haired little boy to me. Why
do you walk with the other boys and wear that
badge my little fellow? said I. Why, because
I am a temperance boy, said he, quickly, and
his bright eyes glistened with joy as he recount
ed to me, in his artless manner, the pleasure he
had felt on that day. But, said I, you have not
yet told me what temperance means. Why re
plied he, it meatis that we must not drink whis
key. Before he could reply to my questions, a
fine looking lad, about 14 -years of age, called'
to him: "Come, Charley, let us go home now,
you know mother is waiting for us." "Yes,
Jimmy, directly, when I speak with this gen
tleman awhile, I'll so." James drew near, ana
after learning the point at issue, said his broth
er Charley was too young to tell the reason
why he ought to love the temperance society.
but, said he. if you will just come with me to
that bench under that big oak, 1 will tell you
why we do love it.
Agreed, my fine little Jellow, said 1. Hav
ncr seated ourselves in the cool shade, I took '
Charley on my knee, and James related as fol-
ows:
"Many persons have asked mo what such
ittle boys as we are, could possibly know about
-rl I 11.? 1
temperance. 1 nave not always nau time, as i
now have, to tell the reason, and mother will
orcive us for delaying, as this is a holiday.
When 1 was a smaller boy than I now am, my
father would frequently come home very drunk,
and whenever he did come homo in that state,
we were always sure to get a kick or a cuff
rom him. So we began to fear his coming so
much that we would hide ourselves behind mo
ther's chair whenever he came in. One day
father came home so drunk that he could scarce
ly stand without some support. He stood in
the doorway gazing at us as we sat around the
kittle fire, eagerly waiting until the milk should
be ready for us. As soon as wc saw Jather,
....
we knew that we should have no milk, lor lie
had not eat anything that day, and we knew
that he would have something to eat if it was
in the house. He. looked at us for some time,
as if to find out something to swear at. "Sa
rah, why hav'nt you got supper ready, you
lazy wench, you. Come stir out of that chair,
or I'll teach you belter, you good for nothing
hussey you?" Mother trembling roso Irom the
chair, while the big tears rolled down her pale
cheeks. We began to cry too; this only made
matters worse. Why dont you move faster you
lazy wench, you're too lazy too move, said he.
iVIy poor mdher's tears flowed afresh at this
brutal remark. She looked at my lather implo
ringly, for a moment, when she said, John, you
know we have nothing to eat but a little boiled
milk, which Mr. B. was good enough to send
for the children. Milk! milk! hey? why that's
what I've been thinking about! Oomc, stir
about, let's have the milk, said he. He stag
gered to a seat at the table, the chair .on which
he attempted to sit was an old broken one, and
he fell with it, aBd lay for some time perfectly
helpless. After three or four vain attempts to
rise, he called to my mother. Here, Sally, why
don't you help me, you see I'm sick and weak,
come help. My mother obeyed, and placed
him in a stronger chair. Now Sal, said he,
let's have the soup. My poor mother looked
first at father and then at us, as we sat cower
ing in the chimney-corner, the big tears rolling
down her cheeks. Why, John, said she, there';
not enough for the children, they eat nothing
to-day yet.
Children, hey! children! what business have
they to eat, bring it along, or I'll break every
bone in your body, and seizing a part of the bro
ken chair he threw it fx mother. Fortunately
it missed her, but glancing from the wall tt
struck little Charley on the arm with such force
as to bruise it very much. The poor little fel
low screamed with pain. Oh, mother, said he,
papa hurt me so much. Hush your squalling
there, you noisy brat, said he, (hiccupping) or
I'll teach you manners!!! Poor Charley was
quiet in an instant.
!hnt hniled milk comincr. saw said father.
' ' " O J ''im
Poor mother, trembling and weeping, set our'
little pot before him. As she turned away from
the table she looked at us again. saying, poor
children, they will starve, and ntfhTrWrot where
to gel a mouthful of food for them, and she wept
bitterly.
Starve, hey! cried my father, well let them
starve they're only trouble any how! God
forgive you, John, for your unkindness, was all
that my another said.
Hearing my mother's last words, he looked
at her for an instant so fiercely, thai I thought
JJ should have sunk through the floor. He rose
from his seat and iade a step towards her.
God forgive who? me? There lake that and
he struck' her a violent blow on the side of her
head. She utteicd a faint scream and fell to
the floor, bleeding and senseless. Seeing what
he had done, and fearing he had killed her, la
ther instantly left the house. Charley and I
now screamed as loud as wc could. We knelt
down by my mother's side and called to her,
mother, mother? iJTit she heeded us not. Mother,
said Charley, get up, I won't cry any more
about my arm, indeed 1 wont, mamma. We
won't cry for the milk either, will we Jemmy?
Come mother, but my poor mother heard us
not. Our kind neighbor, Miss Sarah Anne
Stuart, passing by at the time, heard our cries
and slept in to see the cause. My God, said
she, James, what's ihe matter with your mo-
lher? I told her as well as I could the whole
affair. Run, said she, for Dr. Richardson.
Tell him to come directly. The Doctor came
immediately and soon restored mother to con-
sciousness. You would have wept had you
seen little Charley when she opened her eyes. -
-He -kissed- her again and-again, and said he
would'nt cry about his arm. and father shan't
hit you any more, &c.
Miss Stuart went, and the cood Doctor an-
plied his handkerchief to his eyes more than ock, cannot return to their homes, and the lov
once. Hearing little Charley sneak of his ed greetings of affectionate friendship ! Ah,
arm, he next applied a bandage to it, glad he no ! the clods of the vale press too heavily up
did not receive the blow in the head as it would on their bosoms ihey cannot go home now!

whispered Charley. Miss Stuart overheard it
and took leave for a few moments, returning
with a basket full of provisions. God bless
vou for your kindness, Miss S., sobbed my mo-
ihor w hi a tonrc flnwpH frpp v f nwn hpr rhflpks.
The Doctor soon entered with another basket,
well packed by Mrs. llichardson.
Miss S. and the Doctor took ihelr leave, pro
mising to call in ihe morning. Charley and I
sat on the bed with mother. We talked lor a
ong time till Charley fell asleep; but mother
woke him again, and we both said the Lord's
Hr.tver. a fter which Charley clasninir his little
hntwls. rfinnnted the nraver mother had taught
him, in a distinct voice:
Now I lav me down to sleep,
I nrav the Lord my soul to keep;
If I should die before I wake,
nrav the L.ord mv soul to taKe amen:
The tears came to my mother's eyes as she
i-- -i w
pazed on her little boy. Mother, said Charley,
did you not say we should pray for those who iions of reIigioilnor need 1 : nor would I as
do not love us? cs, my child, 1 did. well, suni6 Q bc a moral or ectarjan dictator to such

voice, she poured lorin ner soui m prajer.

Mv mother started, for my father stood be
fore us. Charley hid his head in the bed

as far away from him as possible.
My father spoke first. Sarah, said he, in a
gentle tone, were you praying lor me ino an

Tears of joy now flowed, when before all had

1 love that name. I know it is not popular, aivl
I know that not a few pharasical souls look with
abhorrence upon one who bears the name, and th u
in their minds it is sufficient to render one an out
cast from all decent and pioufr(n society; but still
I love the name. The question has sometimes
been asked me, why we did not adopt some other
name, this was so unpopular, that the mere naiim
prevented us having any influence over a gre.u
many people which otherwise would be co.iverteJ
to our faith. Now I doubt not to some extent tins
is true. Neither do 1 doubt that many believe
faith, who have not sufficient moral courage to
take upon them the name And I am not sure that
any other name which designated the faith would
not be equally obnoxious to the same class. Be
this as it may, our faith which distinguishes u-
irom the whole orthodox community, teaches the
final redemption and holiness of every child of the
Adamic race. Now we have no wioh o disguise
this fact, we are willing the whole world should
know the ground we stand on. We want them to
know it. For it is a faith we glory in, and one
that we rejoice to promulgate. ine propneu.

We have fiequently told you not to let these
go to waste, and we repeat it here that there is
as much nutrition in a bushel of cobs ai taer.j
is in two fifths of a bushel of shelled corn.
This is not guess work, but the result of actual
common sense trials, so conducted as to reduce
ihe ihing to a certainty. Why then, we ask,
should they not be husbanded, as among the a
vailable feeding resources of a farmer ? Why
should not every farmer rather provide himself
wilh a crusher, and thus enable himself to
use them in the most profitable way. Those,
however, who have no crusher, may have them
broken in the hominy mortar. Thu3 managed,
if soaked in boiling water, steamed, or boiled,
they will be brought to a condition easy of di
gestion by cattle, and if fed in this way to
milch cows, will be far moro valuable, measura
for measure, ihan the best hay, no matter what
the kind may be.
Cattle of all kinds should be sheltered it
possible, of a night, and receive generous al
lowances of fodder of some kind, as neither
the pastures nor woods afford, at this period, a
sufficient quantity ol lood to prevent me came
from falling ott in flesh, a tning wnicn snouia
be obviated, as it is highly important to com
mence the winter with them in gooo condition
and vigorous health. Cattle thrive best in cold
weather in good dry warm lougings, wuere mey
may bid defiance at least to the rain and snow.
We dont say lhat a close stable is indispensa
ble to their healfh and comfort, but do affirm
that a good shed, facing the south, with a tight
roof, defended from tho north and west, tends
greatly to promote not only their comfort and
health, but enable them to live upon less food.
See to their being salted twice a week.
New and Useful Invention.
Among the interesting improvements exhibited
at the Fair of the American Institute, in N York,
is a telegraph for conveying information from the
chambers of hotels to the office or bar. Its con
struction and operation are extremely simple. Its
action is always certain and accurate. By means
of this invention the occupant of any room in a
hotel in which this system is used, can convey in
formation of his wants to the prison in the office
in as short a time as he could ring a common bell,
and can keep the barkeeper- constantly informal
whether he is in or out. The inventor is Samuet
