TO DESTROY THE HESSIAN FLY.
From PoNLson's DaiLu .adrertiser.

LIST. Have tub with wire netting at the bot
tom, over the netting have valve TO suit the size
then put in the water and ley, say half strong ley
and half river water, then riddle the seed through
riddle, and scum off the spurious seed, which may
be tainted with smut, which will always swim the
pure grain will always sinks then sift the quick
lime over the seed after remaining in the ley and
water about ten hours take hay rake and stir
it till every grain separates with crust Of lime
it.
The above is sure antidote against all the enc
mics Of the wheat, except the rust, which is occa-
stoned by heavy dew or mist, succeeded by warm
sun. / would advise to have the ridges about 16
feet wide when the whea, is in blossom, if neces-
sary let two take about an eight feet pole and go in
the furrow at every step or yard; let them SO at
proper step, to meet with gentle loste about
the middle of the stalk, so not njure the bios
som; by that means the drops of dew or mist, is
easily dropped off without injury. As respects the
Hessian Fly, when the egg is destroyed, there will
lbe no chickens. AS the time for sowing wheat is
linear, would advise the Farmer to try the expert
ment before, say, few grains as above prepared
and also The same quantity without-in the first in
stance, the egg will be destroyed, and will come
forth with strong plant.

Though our Blood like our rivers may run,
We will swear--we will swear to be free
Though our homes in che dust be laid low
Though our children be crushed in the fll
Though all Spain be a camp for the foe,
Yet we never will crouch to the Gaul.
Let him come in his hammered array
Every field shall afford him a grave,
Ere the Despot shall boast of the day
When he shackled the souls of the Brave
Can thy sons bear the scutcheon of shame?
Is thy chivalry wthered-Castile ?
Hast thou lost, Toledo, thy fame
For the bosoms as true thy steel
Say, can Arragon doubt vttch to bear, 4

Whom no tyrant could fetter or tame 49,

BY each echo that speaks from the hill,
OF the fame of the fe2ts that are DER

Where Liberty twined them a wreath"
Round the swords Of the Darings of Time;

And disposition kind,
While lately chatting with wife Jane,
Thus spake to her his mind.
"What did thee do with that bank note

In the receipt book, nothing's wrote;
For what then did thee pay"
"My Dear, for auglt did not pay,
But stock on speculation,
Tn what was called, heard Friends say,
Hobe's Church and Congregation.
And truly he's a real FRIEND"
She said with smiling eyes,
Sand on his word do depend,
That soon the stock will rise"
"I am not of such stock aware,
And thee may know as far,
The New Hope Stock of Delaware;
If SO, It's not at Par.
1t may be that, my dearest Jane,
But give thy WISHES scope,
For should ii fall-why still tits plain
Thou hast a stock of Hope.
No matter then what stock thee bought,
hope thy stack will rise"
