persuaded ever suffer by ordinary droughts Like a

Few perhaps, are aware of the depths TO which the
roots OF plants VIII penetrate in deeply Ioosened

inquiries and observations, informed me, near fifty
years ago, that seeing some men digging we'll in
hollow place planted with Indian corn then al its

had descended, and he traced them to the depth Of
nine ieet. The soil was accumulation Of earth
which had run Or been thrown into the hollow.

Mr. Pickering's address to the Esser 4g. Soc
Sir John Sinclair gives the following yNaaims re-
SPecfing the proper depth Of ploughing.
l. The depth TO which land ought To be pIouohed
must FIRST be regulated by the depth Of the soil On
thin sols more especially on rocky substratum the
pioughmg must necessarily be shallow but when the
soil whether light Or strong will admit Of it, the plough
ing ought TO be deep.
2 The depth ought likewise to depend on the
means OF improving the soil Tor when the land IS
poor and the means Of enrichng it are scanty the
depth OF ploughing ought to be in proportion to the
quantity OF manure which can be obtained.
.. Deep ploushing is highly advantageous upon ev-
cry soil, excepting those where the substratum is an
ochry sand.

| said to Sorrows pelting storm,
That beat against INV breast,
Rage on thou may'st destroy this form,
And lay it low at rest
But still the spirit that now brooks
Thy tempest raging high,
Undaunted on its fury looks
With stedfast eye.
! said to Penury's meagre train,
Advance your threats brave.
My last poor life-drop We may drain.
And crush me to the grave;
Yet still the spirit that endures,
Shall mock your force the while,
And meet each cold, cold grasp fyour's,
With bitter smile.
said to proud Neglect and Scorn,
Pass on heed you not;
Though thus unfriended and forlorn,
BY you am forgot;
Nv spirit, which, untam'd and free,
No SCOTS of yours annoy,
Draws from its own nobility
Its high-born JOY.
said to Friendships menac'd blow,
Strike deep! my heart shall bear;
Thou can'st but add one bitter woe
To those already there:
Yet still the spirit that sustains
This last, severe distress,
Shall smile upon its keenest pains,
And scorn redress.
said to Deaths uplifted dart,
Aim sure Oh, why delay;
Thou wilt not find n fearful heart,
A weak, reluctant prey;
For still this spirit, firm and free,

Bright in its own eternity,

TURKEY AND RUSSIA.
From the Franklin Ca

From the Franklin Gazette.
Of all the powers that make a figure in Eu-
rope, Turkey has been the most of an inslru-
ment Of policy in the hand Of Christian
statesmen. Whenever France has been at
variance with Austria, she has not failed to
use her influence with the Divan to induce the
Porte 10 make war upon her adversary and,
ia like manner, whenever Great Britain has
been upon i'll terms with Russia. The cabinet
of St. James has spared no pains TO excite
hostile spirit in the Turks against that nation.
The position OF European Turkey, 90 the
borders of the Austrian and Russian dominions,
indicates her as the ready instrument OF the
British and French governments on such occa-
sions. Ia the recent alterations between the
cabinets of ST. Petersburgh and Constantine.

efforts on the part of Great Britain, France,
and Austria, 10 resist any extraordinary de-

have, in effect, and under the mark of the
Divan, been negotiating agents with Russia };
