I Think of Thee. By Geo. D. Prentice. When the rich tints of eventide are filling The glorious west, And beauty like a living pulse if thrilling The sunset's breast -- When eve's low winds in spirit tones are calling From every tree, And dews upon the shutting flowers are falling, I think of thee. When the young crescent moon is sweetly gleaming Through twilight bowers, And birds beneath the dewy leaves are dreaming Of Spring's first flower -- When moonlight clouds like fairy barks are stealing O'er heaven's blue son, And the sweet hour thrills all the chords of feeling, I think of thee. When the lone river's cadences are swelling Upon the gale, And the deep voices of the night are telling Their wizard tale -- love's own star, through mist and dews is shining On vale and lea, Then a thousand lonely hearts are pining, Sweet girl for thee. There ia a lofty species of scepticism with which all great and earnest minds must have a great sympathy. I t may be called the scepticism not yet of pride, nor yet of the senses, nor yet of brimming curiosity, nor yet of selfish passing fancies of the heart revolting against all the doubtful aspects of the universe, and of the ........ unable to solve, or to see the slightest probability of ever solving, some of the primary problems. This is a scepticism in our age, almost invariable in youth, and especially in the youth of genius. It is the scepticism, not of weakness, but of strength, sinkind down before the black marble of mystery, through which itis unsble to force its way: not of a captious desire to find fault, but of a wish to things BETTER than they are - a wish almost morbid in its intensity, and feels itself crushed under harsh realities - not of disgust and hatred.but of disappointed love for this wondrous creation, which, at a distance, and to the eje of young enthusiasm, looks so beautiful and enviable; but which, on a nearer view, presenst so many perplexing anomalies, so much that is utterly unaccountable, and so much that is seemingly cruel, arbitrary, and unjust. The tendency of this kind of scepticiao is not to a rejection of Christianity, but. to atheism -- ANONYMUS A NEW EXPOSITION--In one of the colored churches in Louisville, Ky , at a recent Sabbath evening service, a venerable colored preacher was expatiating elo quently and forcibly on the benefit of prayer. He had gone well into his discourse, and was fortifying his position by illuatrations from the Old Testament heroes, and among others he brought up the case of DanieL "My bredren," he said, ''there was Daniel, who was cast in de den ob lion- he knew de benefits of prayer. - You remember about it. Dey took de lions and dey starve them several days and make dem very fierce. And den dey take Daniel and cant him in de dea ob lions. But de lions didn't hurt him. No my bredren, Daniel prayed unto de lord, and de lord sent his angel, and ebery lion had de LOCKJAW, and Daniel was saved." Girls -- Holmes in one of his poems says in a parenthetical way, "-------my grandpa Loved girls when he waa young." So doubt of it; for Holmes is a sensible man, and must have had a grandfather All sensible men love girls when they are young, and when they are old, too. We apply the "old," to the men - not to the girls, mind you. Girlhood is an institution- peculiar institution, which,as lovers of the union, we are bound to cherish; and as to girls large and small, we hold that no gentleman's family is complete without them. Of little girls, an American poet sars: "With rosy checks, and dancing curls; And eyes or tender light, 0, very beautiful are little girls, And goodly to the sight." Aud as to large girls- big bouncing girls what a pity it is they must soon be women - stately, matronly, queenly women, who are not angels, because they are not girls! who, by-the-I by,are not angels, either, but vastly more charming than any we rcmember to have seen in the pictures or elsewhere I THE LAW IN THE HEART."For could l ever think , A mortal law of power or strength sufficient,, To abrogate the unwritten law divine, immutable, eternal, not like thine Of yesterday, but made ere time began."

Grinding Feel Experimental farmers' have long ur cred tho importance, and oven necessityof chopping or grinding hay, as well as other feed, for cattlo and horses. The lazy drones have had a hearty laugh over tho idea, and called it "Book Farm inff." Now tho theory of choppincr and grinding food, is based on a principle which i at the foundation 01 animal physiology.' Rest is essential to tho ac cumulation of muuelo, as well as ft. If wo wish to incrcaso an animal In flesh, or fut, we do not work him. Now a cow wants one-thirtieth of her own weight in hay a day, to keep her in good order ; and wo maj' thus calculate tho amount of labor required to masticato tho food, and fit it for the stomach. Tho labor of chopping, or grinding twenty-five pounds of dry hay a day, b no small. item. This excessive labor is performed by one Bet of muscles .11.1 . I .4 r., mcjaws. um oy sympathy, uiiects all tho othfr muscles ; eauscs tho blood to circulato quicker, the breath faster, tlio consumption of food greater; and still the growth of tho animal is retarded. If a machine was invented to grind hnj', tho ground article would approximate, in Vqc, to ungrour.d oats, in froducing and ht musclo. Chopping ay and stalks is valuable juit in proportion as it approximates to grinding, and reliovcs the- animal of tho labor of grinding it. An animal fed on ground or minced food may perform an amount of labor tonal to grinding it fit for digestion, and fut as fatt as another which docs not labor, but grinds its own food. Prematurely grey whikcrs and beard whio tho hair is still black, shows tho relativo amount of labor Performed by the Jaws of tho bond. Ohio Farmer. How to lUtse Colts. A good colt I say good, becauso ft Poor colt in not worth raising should to weaned when four or six months old ; bo put io a warm stable, eight or ten feet square, well ventilated, with a plunk floor, and be kept clean , have the bct ot t ay and water, and about a pint of oats two or three times iTTt;y. l'ut a coat of common saw-dust, two inches thick, all over tho floor, and all that gets wet removo at least thrco times a week, and add moro saw -dust in its placo. In this way tho colt will havo no lico. Keep a good look-out, and if his feet grow uneven pare them, that, ho may stand square on them. I have seen not a few coltstwo, three, or four years old whose feet and ankles wero much out of shape in consequer.co of their feet breaking ofT ou one side, or wearing ofl which might havo been prevented by paring their feet occasionally. If convenient, let him run out in n wann yard or shed in tho day-timo, afUr ho lias done crying for his mother. 1 have learned by experience, that saw dust is the thing fur horses to btand on. I bad rather they would stand on tho clean floor than stand on their manure. I think the best tiling to euro a horse that is Sundered is to let hii.i stand on SrtW-d'i. ; a anyxate, 1 have cured a number in this way.

In looking over your paepr I observe the death of several fine colts from eating bad corn, and that they could douobct tcr than to feed it. Now let me suggest to vour readers trie propriety of kiln drying their wet corn, and then using it for feed. XJuuedone so at my Cherry Hill farm, in Kentucky, and find it to work well. .Some may complain that they havo no facilities for so doing; neither had I, but I mado up a largo fire in tho hearth and got It very hot, then took tho firo out. and threw in six or soven bushels of shelled corn at a timo. This process thoroughly dried it, and it is now eaten with ns much gusto ns tho best corn grown. A littlo labor bestow ed in this manner will save much feed to somo who can, perhaps, poorly afford toiosoit. Kcspccttuiiy, T. Wrioiitson. To Destroy Weevil in Grain.
