RYE AND OATS DESTRUCTIVE 10 YOUNG
FRUIT TREEs--coRN AND POTATO Es
BENEFIcIAL--How TO DESTROY YER
| MIN ON CATTLE, &c. &c.
| To the Editor of the American Farmer.
SIR have lately read the extracts
from Goblet on gardening, published
in the American Farmer, which afford
much Useful information on that sub
iect.
Although he is generally correct, yet,
in some few instances, think him erro-
| neous; which errors ought to be timely
corrected For instance, he recon
mends, amongst other crops TO be grown
in an orchard, rye, as one; but in my Opt
Mon, no crop ever raised in an orchard
Especially young one was SO PERM
cious as rye, grown successfully in a
young orchard, is almost as fatal as an
axe would be to the roofs.
When the rye is in blossom, certain
rank etnovum arises from it, which
| pcisons The trees.
Oats is a bad crop, from the Injurious
effect it has on the soil.
Cobbett says, that ploughing or dig
gng between young fruit trees, should
only be done in the fall; but the fact IS,
that planting young orchard with corn,
and keeping the ground well cultivated,
will bring on trees more rapidly than any
other plan; nothing will more promote
the growth of a young orchard, than to
plant it with corn or potatoes for seven
years in succession, and have the ground
annually cultivated, manuring round the
roots of the trees yearly.
Gentle oxen is the best kind OF team
for ploughing an orchard: with a horse
team, the ends of the swngle-trces are
APP, TO bark the trees, unless they are
well guarded by strong stakes.
Cobbetl asserts, that the stones ollruit,
never produce the same Kind as the orr
ginal, except by mere accident. lnthis
opinion, think he is not correct, not
withstandinb it has been ascerialned, by
experiment, that if dozen seeds, taken
from one apple or pear, when planled
and grown, will produce as many differ
ent kinds, and none like the original
yet it is not SO with stone Irult--it the
pits stones ofpeaches, plums or cher
ries are planted, they will generally pro-
duce the kind from which they originated.
Goblet ridicules the idea of any mix
ture or communication OF vegetables OF
grain, without exception, from the farina;
however, there are certainly exceptions
to his rule on that subject--for instance,
the mixture of Indian corn does proceed
from the farina as far as it blows and,
falls on the silk projecting from the
shoot, so far you will find different kinds
to mix. The fact is, that if hill of corn
be planted by itself, sufficient distance
from any other corn to prevent any OF
the fine farina, which forms on the tassels,
from blowing ON the silk, and the tassel
Of the hill is cut off before the frey or
farina is formed, no grains or corn will
grow on the cob.

gentlemen Of medic lore,

The gentlemen Of medic lore,
Beheld.the agitation,
But swore, they never saw before,
Such morbid irritation.
The honest member held his peace
Could only gaze and wonder,
To hear this factious mob release
Their stores of oral thunder.
At last, the wise conyentionists
Succeeded in their measure
Then pulled about "the peoples rights,
Their "happiness" and "pleasure."
But now what'er the state may do,
I'll try to never fault her;
But those who slavery will pursue,
Deserve public halter.

Ihave found that strong decocsion
of tobacco, washed over beast infected
with vermin, will generally drive them
away; it sometimes will make the beast
very sick for short time.
But better remedy is to mix plenty
of strong Scotch snuff in train oil, and
rub the back and neck of the creature
with it, which will efectually kill or
drive away all vermin from qpadruped

At length in stately council met,
(They formed famous body
And ON tn affairs of state they set,
Amidst crowded lobby.
But soon mighty question rose,
Which quickly caught attention,
The one (Which every body knows)
About the g aesp contention"
Some urged the measure warm and bold,
&c The peoples rights" defended,
And cried "The constitution old
Should quickly be amendedn'
And here the sage conventionists
Strong arguments invented,
To shew Gree trade in negroes rights"
This instrument prevented.
"'Gainst slavery others may display
"Their learning, worth, and merit,
Yet 'tis the dearest right" say they,
switch FREEMEN can inherit:
"If slavery once you fairly scan,
"You'll surely find it given,
ga boon, on earth, to favored man
GA gift from lofty heaven.
"Then who would not this gift accept,
/" And kiss the hand that gave it :
"And don't sT1e Peopls' all expect
"Tlrough us, TO shortly have it :
"Then we, because we deem il wise,
"And to subdue contention,
"Will move, the people, to advise
"To have new convention.
"We view the measurse Mise and good
"Think slavery is blessing,
"Consaer life without it would
abe scarcely worth possessing.
~The all who shate to kick the clod,'
Kneel with deveut intention,
+" And pray that Plato's awful rod
g MAY grant new convention"
But some of principles refined,
Loved iustice-and would rather
Have slavery closely kept confined,
And not extended farther.
At length warm debate arose,
Which caused great dissention
And words we're almost changed for blows
About the new convention.
The question, when it first was tried,
Met with sad defeating;
But then its advocates relied,
On trading* and "rebeatiag."
But when the measure was resumed,
And had a second hearing,
Again it safely was entombed,
No hope the mourners cheering.
A phrenzy seized the troubled brain,
While Madness marlS'd each action,
Meath Mania's arm was Reason slain,
And Grief ragged in distraction.
At length, the Radicals arose,
Resolved, though forced by armies,
To snatch the question from repose,
And pass it, vi ct arms.
1t was upon an even tide,
Their forces were collected,
And in dishonor's "bond' were tied,
AS Faction had directed.
And now the streets the mob adorns!
And songs arouad, were singing,
Willie kettles, drums, and bugle-horns,
In unison were ringing.
Theymarch'd The streets and scream'd alou
While discord round was pouring,
3 And Bacchus, captain of the crowd,
Commanded half to snoring.
Twas thought, their lungs, by persons nigl
Suffered immense distension,
For, every step, the mob would cry,
aDeath or new convention ! :"
The pious priests beheld the scene,
While some were half offended,
And cried, What can this riot mean,
What sin is now intended p =

above the enervatng influence OF indulging sor

cheerfulness and gratitude, than the practice of
referring the Affections and blessings of life to
our Creator. When visited by pleasing hopes,
when all is bright and joyous around us, how de.

THE IRISH PATRIOT.

In the county of Galway in Ireland, there lived
IA young couple, the children of two neighbour.
ing cottagers, who were betrothed TO each other
from the earliest period OF infancy. They had
been educated in the same rude retirement, had
partaken ofthe same fare, had shared in the same
amusements, and were now anxiously waiting the
period OF their union Their parents were OF the
lowest class OF the Irish peasanry, and possessed
mo inconsderable share of the natural virtues and
vices. With dispositions naturally good, their
passions had been inhamed by the civl. dissen-
Itions OF the period, and embittered by the pres
sure OF acute poverty; and finally induced them
Ito join in the i'll fated rebellion that terminated
in the death ofpoor Emmett, and his associates,
1t happened one night that the father and mo.
ther of the young girl, with the youth TO whom
she was betrothed, were sitting round their little
tiresde, gloomily awaiting an increase OF poverty
and misery, when sudden knock at the cottage
door reused them from their revere, and induced
them to hasten to the gate. tall, elegant stran-
lger, closely mutied up in military cloak, enter

for the consent of the party, seated himself in a

|himselfto the young man, and his intended father
|in-law, and having insisted on the departure Of
the females, shrouded his face more closely in
his mantle, and in blended accents of pity, shame
and indignation, commenced an animated recital
of the civil dissentions of Ireland, of ITS shameful
|subjugation by England, its decay of public spi.

course by solemnly conjuring them if they vau.

CORNELIA BORROQUIA.
FROM THE CITY REGISTER.
Translated from the Spanish.

The horrors of that tribunal called the Inqui-
sition, the black and hellish offspring of super
stition have more than any other transactions Ell
ther political or religious excited the terror and
disgust of mankind. The christian world had
hoped Tor its extermination. A short interval of
peaceful federation suspended the work of death,
gave the people Of God respite from the fears
Of being prescribed by tribunal unauthorized by
God himself, and shed pleasing hope that those
awful scenes would return no more, The late re-
versal of liberal efforts in the cause Of freedom
on the theatre of Europe, seems no longer doubt
full and with it the consequent establishment of
the Holy Office To have but a faint idea of its
executive proceedings, read the tale subjoined.-
During the prosperous slaughters of the late es-
tablishment, Cornelia Borroqua was striking

THE POET GRAY.

The celebrated Poet Gray, is buried in the
Church Yard of Stoke Pogis, in Buckinghamshire,
the scene of his celebrated Elegy in Country
Church Yard" The church is plain rustic edi-
flee, of some antiquity, with low tower, ard CO.
nical shaped spire; but has few of those strongly
marked features by which it is so admirably cha
in the poem, and the "rugged elms, !"
and "yew-tree shade," if ever they existed, are
now no more. Some of the surrounding scenery
however, finely corresponds, particularly where
the eye is directed over a large sheet OF water to
the majestic Castle of Windsor. The burying
place Of the Poet is without-sde the church, a
spot which had been before consecrated by the
nterment of two of his dearest relatives. Here
|his remains lay unhonored by even the slightest
memorial, until the year 1899, when Mr.. Penn

|liberality which does him great credit, perform
