Pull up, my boys, turn quick the rounce,
And LEI the work begin;
The world is pressing on without,
And we must press within.
And we who guide the public mind,
Have influence far and wide,
And all our deeds are good, although
The DEVILS at our side.
Let fly the ffisket now, my boys!
Who are more proud than we
While wait the anxious crowd without,
The force of po,osr to see.
SO pull away-noneare so great
As those who runt car.
And who have dignity like those
Who practice at th bar
And you who twirl tie roller there,
Be quick you inkyma
Old time is rolling onhimself,
So beat him if you cen.
Be careful of the light and shade,
Nor let the sheet grolg pale;
BE careful of the monkey looks
Of every head and tale.
Though high in Office is our stand,
And pi-ous is our case,
We would not cast slur on those
Who fill our lower place.
The gaping world is fed by us,
Who retail knowledge here,
BY feeding that we feed ourselves,
Nor deem our fare too dear.
Pull up, my boys, turn quick the rounce,
And thus the chase we'll join;
We have deposites in the bank;
Our drawers are full of coin.
And who should more gcnteelly cut
A figure and a dash!
Yet sometimes we who press so much,
Ourselves are pressed for cash.

Immediately. We lament to say that the
deceased had but lately arrived in this city,

loss. AS he had no clothes on but his

friend that this is the third person who has

We learn by gentleman from Cumberland
county, that the chintz bug has been commit
ting ravages upon the wheat fields, and that
the rust has also produced much injury since
the late rains and hot weather set IN. The
value Of the crop is consequently materially
lcssencd. The same gentleman informs us
that the chintz bug is now at work upon the
corn fields in greater numbers than have ever
been known, and that the farmers are resort
, ing to tar and hot water to kill these vora-
cIous insects. lie suggests plan by which
the evil may DO remedied, if attended to in
tlme-it is one by which he has invariably
succeeded III ridding his fields Of The bugs.
As soon us these insects leave tho wheat,
they commence upon the corn, destroying
each stalk before they leave it, The hus-
bandnan must take them at the onset. In
order to prevent them from lodging, let the
interstlces of the blade and stalk be filed
with sand or loosc dirt, futtcn tho earth ut
the root, by capping it with the noe, and then
shake the insects Off BY this means they
will all fall on the hill, where they can be
beaten with the hoe, and covered over with
dirt SO as to prevent their recovery. The hill
must be clapped smooth with tho hoe each
morning, and left in that way, so rs the bet
ter to get at the bugs the next morning.
This process should DO followed up for few
mornings, which will be sufficient to prevent
them from getting headway in the field, and
will destroy them for the season. Tho ex-
pertinent is well worth the little trouble it
will occasion.-[ Richmond Whig.
