AGRICULTURAL.

We had the pleasure 10 notice IN the last
vol, OF the Register, page 329, some little
patches ofyery superior wheat and rye then
grow ins on The farm of +. s. Thomas, Esq.
Of Baltimore coulhy. We have just re-
ceivcd tue following particulars OF the pro-
duct ol lnose patches-which we consider
very interesting TO our agricu!,uralists.
The wheat was raised from small guam
tily whichgrew iasl year in European FUR
key--the quantity sown was rather less
than pint time oil sowing March %, in
6 drills OF llU feet each, ana one foot apart;
il was reaped on the 18th OF July, and
threshed the 10th institute produce lorty-
two for one. / his wheat weighs % lbs.
per buShel, and is of very bright yellow
colJur-the straw, head and beard, when
fully ripe, had bright purple tinge. Two
OF lis grains are about as large and heavy
as three grains oil good wheat OF the COM
mon kinds. The crop was put in and Sc
crred in the space OF l3 days.
The rye sown was part ot the product
of d grains originally received from place
near the head of the Mediterranean sea-
The quantity sown was two quarts; time
ofsowing March 90, broad Cast on about
nine square perches oi ground, which was
too rich, Tor the weeds were higher than
the rye when it was reaped Gu the 18th of
Juy-it was threshed ON the ED inst. and
produced twenly-seven Tor one. The
grain is of very bright yellow, and twice
the size of the common ryc-and, weighs Gu
lbs. per bushel. The putting in and sect
ring the crop occupied IA days. This
rye does not grow higher than tue common
kind ON good land.
We learn that Mr.. Thomas intends care
fully to husband the products OF his wheat
ard rye, for the next years sowing after
which, hoping TO have a suihcicncy to en-
sure an extension of the quantity for seed,
he will freely dispose OF tito his friends and
neIghbors, who will be invited TO come and
get il OF him.

TUE SAILORS SONG AT SEA.
On oceans smooth, unrlflled breast,
The gentle breeze ofevening blew; t.
The recent storm was lulrd to resi-
The frcighted bark in silence few.
The helmsman watch'd The moon's pale light
Where heaving on the mirror deep,
The sca-bird in The arms ofnight
Was lowly rock d to tranquil sleep.
With sparkling eyes he watched the sail,
Wide carving to the kissing wind
Then whistled 10 the passing gale
Then sung to Mary, far behind.
His artless notes of love arose,
ADDRESSED to her, so sweet, so fair
Then sinking 10 tender close
Combine ard melted with the air.
"Tbou seaman's friend, full mantled Moons
Show cloudless is thy way;
"Rejoice, while in thy prime, for soon
"Those splenaors shall decay.
"Soon but crescen: faint appears:
1T marks Thy boundless reign!

Retiring from the beams
"Ofyonder Moon; unseen by day,

"And oft along the si;ent skies,

ITO open them no more.
'I.il;e that brief Noon, is LIES gay hour
Abridged OF habits bliss;
Sand like those stars, a full blown flow'r,

Pale mem'ry from aiar!
