As the heart of a piseon 1cats when she
finds she is robbed Of her young, SO will
my loves heart beat when she sees me.
She will not allow the dog TO bark, and
she will leave the tent as if in search of
wood. Should her kinsmen see her with
me, she4shall not fall under their displea-
sure. l will lift her on my horse, and
Fly with her for my steed has ears like
pens, he runs like IN antelope, and knows
none but his master. My new tagaia
becomes me well; my sword is sharp,
my pistols clean, and my belt shines in
the SUM-"
Ofthis song wehave been favored with
the following beautiful versifcation---we
need scarcely sayby whom.
SONG.
"Behold me-" sung Hassan the fearless and
free,
On the steed which obeys not master but
me, -
"nopoihts like the quilts OF tseeaTsres ms vsr-,
And whose bound DER the lssert is light as
the deer's.
Behold me with sabre well siarpened and
bright,
And with pistols new Ainted aia Furnished
for fight.
Ny cap with fresh scarlet SO gaif be- done,
And my baldrick of silver which CLEANS in the
sun.
When my true love espies me, the heart in her
breast
Shall beat quick as..the pigeons, when robbed
Of her nest
She will hush the hoarse watchdog, and HE
to the grove,
That the eyes of her kindred espy not her love
Yet, let them descry me--their wrath defy,
And why should she tremble when Hassan is
nigh
Like the hawk from his coycy, selecting his
prey,
From the midst Of her tribe would bear her
away,
l would mount her behind me-" sung Hassan
the free,
" On the steed which cbeys not rider but me
Who points like the eagles sharp feathers his
And whose bound DER the desert is light as
the deer's;
ForI come with my SABRE" &c.

My dear Brother--I went to Ameri-
ca to be edited by its religious charac-
ter and institutions, and no, as an eco
nomist or politician: you will not ex,
poet, therefore, from me any thing which
has relation to these subjects. Yet
may observe, once for all, that the roads,
the culture, the style Of building in gene
raj, the vehicles, the extent of every kind
OF mpropement--thcse come short ofthe
same things in England. And who
ought to wonder at this, when the age OF
The two countries is considered The
winters in America are long and severe,
and the summers hot. On the sea-board
the varia5leness of the climate is very
great, and pulmonary cases are very
numerous and fatal. Yet, still it re-
mains true, that most Of the deficiencies
and faults Of America are the deficiencies
and faults Of youth. After visiting the
states of New York, Connecticut, Mas
sscbusetts, New HampshiHe, Maine,
New Jerseys, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
sc. and the cities of New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore, was quite
amazed at the progress Of society in the
United States tho Sc towns, these col
leges, these courts bfjuslice, these scien-
tlfic and benevolent institutions, the ex-
tent of country cultivated, these state
governments, this army, this navy, this

be happy one, in which the poor can
obtain respectable education for thei,
children for nothing; where each man OF

their cultivation.
The Slips are nothing more than the
small potatoes or roots last thrown off by
the plant. They are preferred 10 larger
ones on the several grounds, of economy,
OF food and Of room-of their being more
easily preserved, and less likely to rot in
the ground after they are planted. The
writer of this, during fifteen years never
succeeded in getting more than one
large sweet potatoe to yegetate or grow
in the open ground. The ignorance of
the mode Of culture has probably been
the cause of their not having been raised
here.
The slips should be put up for preser-
walton without bruislng them (or as the
directions from New Jersey expresseu it,
<hey should be handled as carefully as
es9s) ia a dry state, in perfectly cry
saEld or earth, and Kept IN warm place
as free, as possible from moisture.
Those who wish TO be perfectly asa
surel Of their sncceas. Will .eise s'nalf'
hot bed. usss. or without glass, about the
. 4o,h Of April, on the south side OF a,
fence, wall or building. On this, they
will lay the slips or roots soeclosc as To-
touch each other, SO that bed Of six feet
square will be sufficient for bushsl of
them. They should then be covered
with about an inch OF earth. If the cui-
;ivator has no hot bed frames, the bed
at night may be covered with ma, or
with straw.
In 10 or ID days some of the shoots
will appear above ground; when about
one half or even third SO appear, they
are all to be taken up 10 be planted -
The lightest soils are best adapted to
them. As their roots al.nos. universally
strike directly downwar1s, like hose OF
the carrot, they are always planted on
hills raised about nine inshes, or about
the height Of a potaioe bill, after its last
.faish}ui hocing. These hills should be
four feet and half apart in every direc-
ton. The slips, two in each hill, one
foot apart, are then put in either with the
fingers, or a stick, or any instrument
capable Of making a sufficient hole, and
the crown or top should be within an
inch orhaf inch OF the surface. When
thus started or sprouted, twill be easy
