For the Journal. HEART-MIT.. We sit by memory's " Golden Gate," Unbar the massive door-

Look beyond Its gleaming portals, For the dear one's gone before. Tbougb changes mark the beaten path. And clouds havo dimmed the sun, " Changes," precious are, as way-marks, Clouds break when the rain is done. We wander along the shores of time. Tracing tlie hopes that are scattered there, Watching the light In th eyes we love, Dreaming the dreams love makes so fair, Lingering most where the sunlight falls, Thrnndini; the labyrinth silent and lone. Twining the blessing's memory recalls, Sighing, alas! where fate whispers them jPtie. 1 1 MH'Vh f CrJ Glancing along through the distant past, Clasping a hand you loved so well, Bowing again in prayer for him Who long hath been bound with the "Angel's Spell." Standing once more In the moonlight's gaze. Scanning the work of other yearsKneeling again by the lonely Grave, Looking at life through a mist of tears. , Thus memory glideth dreamily, . . On to her silent .hallPainting shadows of " loved ones," All along the phantom wall. Their tender eyes still beam on us From the blessed heavenly shore, Casting " love light" ail around us. That will brighten evermore. LENORE. Hbsdkkson, Ky., August, 1866. ' .! : AGRICULTURAL. The Henry Coutfty Agricultural Society hold their Fair at Newcastle from the 18th to the 21st of the present mouth. Liberal premiums are offered, and it is expected that the exhibition will be one of the most interesting ever held iu the county. Thb Summer. The summer just closed has been the most remarkable of any for many years, in three particulars. It was iu its earlier portion the hottest, in its middle part the wettest, and in its latter portion the coldest, of any summer within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Valuable Cow. A cow was purchased by a clergyman in this city on the 18th of October, and to this day he hasxeceivcd for milk, and butter 117 ((,- besides having all the -milk, cream and butter for four in family. What was used in family overbalances, by one-half, the cost of keeping the caw. JSvery olergyman should have a cow (as well as any other man,) if he can coax the bovine to " give down" at that rate. Michigan City Ind.) Enquirer. Tulips and Hyacinths. These bulbs should be taken up as soon as the leaves turn yellow, the offsetts removed and the bulb3 put in paper bags until late in the Fall, then replanted. This treatment improves them considerably. . , jr The corn crop in this locality is one of great promise bigger than the biggest. On the prairie in Warren the crop is the wonder of the natives. The Shaffer boys, of this place, who are farming out there this year, have such a large crop they don't know what to do about it The growth of wild grass on the prairie, owing to the frequent raius this summer, is also more luxuriant than has been known for years. Attica Ledger. Carnations and Pinks. This is the proper season for propagating carnations and pinks. For layers the soil should be stirred up and pulverised. The shoot intended for layering should have the leaves stripped off the portion that is to be in the soil, and a cut made in the place whence it is intended that the roots shall issue. The layer should be pegged down in the hollow prepared for it, and a few inches of soil placed over it. For piping, stems should be selected having five or six joints, cut off beneath a joint; split the bottom slightly, trim off some of the leaves, shorten the remainder, and insert in moist, light soil; shade and water must be provided; Knightstown Fair. The Fair of the Union Agricultural Society, held at Knightstown, the past week, was very largely attended, and the exhibition of articles decidedly creditable to the farmers of that section of country. There was a large display of fine horses, and the competition in the ring was very spirited. How to get Rid of Black Ants. Take sage, and strew small quantities where they frequent. This has never yet failed in getting rid of them, not for a day or two only, but for the entire summer. Try it, if you are plagued with them, and we warrant you success. We hear much about camphor, but that with us never yet proved successful. A correspondent of the Maine Farmer says that about sixteen years ago he transferred eight trout to a brook which empties into a pond. For seven or eight years nothing was seen or heard from them ; but since that time it is judged by men that live near these ponds, that not less than two hundred pounds of the best trout in that vicinity are taken yearly. OtTAT.TTTES OF flATTir A ., .!,. for cheese, Devous for butter, and Alderney's for cream. These, on the best native stock, will improve. The improved Short Horns combine these qualities to a large extent, and are, besides, superior for beef. When we say the Alderneys for cream, we mean the richest cream, not the most, as less milk is given by them than by the Devons, and less butter made from a cow. For the farmers who have but cows, the improved Short Horns are

the best, as they combine more or less the good qualities. Excellent for milk, they are still more so for beef. Caiman Rural World. The Fair. Extensive preparations are being perfected for the Wayne County Fair, which is to come off the last week in the present month. The managers have acted with the utmost liberality in throwing out inducements to farmers and stoek men to come forward, and engage in the competition to be awarded. Liquid Honey. The following recipe for a beautiful liquid honey is taken from Mr. Langstroth, which he says u the best judges have pronounced one of the most luscious articles they ever tasted:" "Put two pound, of the purest

white BUgar in as much hot water as will dissolve it; take one pound of strained white clover honey any honey of good flavor will answer and add it warm to the syrup, th oroughly stirring together. As reh ied loai sugar is a pure and inodorcjs sweet, one pound of honey will give its flavor to two pounds of sugar, and the compound will be free from that smarting taste that pure honey often has, and will usually agree with those who cannot eat the latter with inipuuity. Any desired flavor can be added to it. "Although no profit can be realized frOm inducing bees to store this mixture, in boxes or glasses, the amateur may choose, in bad seasons or in districts where honey is pure, to secure in this way choice specimens for the table." Good Corn Bread and Pudding. The same money will buy two or three times as much nourishment in corn meal, as it is a matter of economy td use as much of the former as can be made palatable. Of the hundredsjof corn bread receipts we have published, none we have tried has given as continued satisfaction as the following: One quart of sweet milk, one teaspoonful eooking soda, one teacupful of molasses, two teaspoonpful of salt, four teacupsful of wheat flour. Mix all well together, and bake slowly for an hour or more. It keeps moist for several days, and is relished by most persons. the above preparation. cooked in a steamer, makes a good pudding, to be eaten with cream Of milk krrd.sugar, or eaten alone. Selecting Wheat for Seed. No fact is more evideat than that if wheat with which are mixed the seeds of weeds, chess, barley, rye, or other grains is used for seed, the crop harvested will not be good, clean wheat. It i;5 equally certain that poorly developed, unripened, or diseased wheat kernels cannot be expected to produce superior wheat. Yet many farmers, knowing these things, pay little attention to selecting wheat for seed. No farmer should ever sow "dirty" wheat under any circumstances. This year there should be special pains taken in many parts of the country where the wheat crop was almost entirely a failure. It will be much better to procure seed from a considerable distance and at increased expense than to rely on that which is not suitable for the purpose. In all ordinary cases the fact that such is the best you have is not a sufficient reason. Care in selecting varieties is also important. . If one variety has failed in your vicinity, year after year, try something else, no matter how good a reputation this variety may have formerly had. The fact that white wheat brings a higher price in the market than the amber or red wheat of the same quality, should be taken into consideration. Of two varieties, equal in har diness, productiveness, etc., of course the white should be selected. In getting wheat from a distance, if you want it earlier than that you now have, go North for it, if later go South for seed. Do not be induced to sow largely of any variety simply because it nas done well in other places, especially if these localities are at a considerable distance. Soap Making Cold Process. There is a mode of making soap, adopted by the country people, which they call the cold process, that deserves to be made generally known. It is thus described by a farmer's wife : " I put my barrel a common fish barrel in the cellar where it is intended to stand, and fill it nearly full of strong lye ; then add as much grease without melting it as I think sufficient, storing it once every day or two. In a few days I can tell whether I have put too much or too little grease, and add lye or grease as the case may rerquire. In two or three weeks it becomes excellent soap. We call it the cold process. In this way we make better soap, get rid of the trouble and risk of boiling, and can make it as suits our conveniences, or occasion requires." Walnut leaves, bruised and rubbed upon horses, will, it is said, protect the animals from the annoyance of flies.. QUA '.TO Temperature in Butter-Making. According1-to experiments made by Pohde, the temprature of the cream affects 1. The time required to make butter; the colder, the longer. 2. The quantity of the butter; the colder the cream the greater the quantity. 3 Upon the quality of the butter cold cream producing the best. Hence, although by using warm cream there is a saving of time, there is a loss in quantity and quality. Place a bone in the earth, near the root of a grape, and the vine will send out a leading root directly to the bone. In its passage, it will put out no fibres; but when it reaches the bone,

the root will entirely cover it with the most delicate fibres like lace, each

one seeking a pore of the bone. Oa this bone the vine will continue to feed as long as auy nutriment remains to be exhausted. CITY NOTICES. N Annexation of Territory to the City of Evansville.
