The Editors of the National Gazette have been en-
gagged in the audable task Of collecting oldrevoiuton
airy poems. Several ballads have already appeare
in that Journal which were composed for the patriots
during their struggle for independence: A COLLECTOR
of these lyrical pieces would make an interesting vo

shall pass away, their memories may afford the requ
site materials. The following amusing ditiy we cop

The west is the land of promise to a farmer

satisfied, the professions, however learned must
go hungry. Towns cannot grow when not
backed by an agricultural population. Cities
cannot rise till the all.powerful agriculturast
has enough, and to spare, to support their in
mates. IL is to the farmer that all classes look,
and upon him are oil dependent. And to the
farmer, the west is peculiarly land of prom
Use. What premium is paid him by merely
the low price of land! What an additional pre-
MUM is its fertility! And its foods of emlgra-
ton pouring in like cloud of locusts, are pro-
fit upon profit to him alone. Is money scarce

a surplus. He need not yearly turn up the
rocks that have stared his ancestors in the face
ever since the landing Of the pilgrims, to pro-
vide bare subsistence. He need not restrain
his appetite, and wear his clothes twice out
to make both ends of the year meet. He neet
deny himself no reasonable qualification from
want of means to obtain it. In short, an Obi,

RESULT OF FoLIY.--Ou Sunday last sevsrk
young men were assembled at public house
at Saugerties, when a wugerwas made BY one
of them, named J. Delaw, who was employed
at the Ulster Iron works, that. he could drink
the entire contents of one of the decanters,
which was pint and half fofbrandy. Heswal-I
lowed the liquor, and several glasses more AFTER
it, but very soon fell senseless 10 the ground.
An attempt was made to draw blood from his
arm, which was unsuccessful, Snd he was giycs
up for dead, and buried on the following day.
Before his burial, it appears blood oozed from
the incision in the arm; and tke fact becom-
ing noised about the village, there was on Sat-
urday considerable conmotion there, owing
to the belief of many that the unfortunate sic-I
tim offolly had been buried alive, and that he
had merely swooned instesd Of dying from the
effect ofthe terrible draught he had SO foolish
ly swallowed.---.Ne,g York Sun.

ORIGINAL.

AoRIcuLTURE.--The experience of the last
two years has fully proved, that while every
other kind of business was overdone, that of
farming has not been sufficiently atte lded to-.
The importation of immense quantities of bread
stufs during the past year, has been, and ought
to be fruitful source of alarm and inquiry.
That the United States, the richest agricultu-
raj country in the world, and where the acqu-
sition of land is by far the easiest, should be
forced to draw her bread from the black hills
and barren rocks of the old country, is degra-
ding to our soil, and disgraceful to our popula-
ton. 1t evlnces a low estimate Of the busI-
ness of Agriculture, an estimate which is con-
trary to reason, and unwarranted by experience.
1t is not difficult, perhaps, to give the reasons
for this neglect ofthe noblest business in which
man can be engaged. 1t arises from certain
local peculiarities, which time will eventually
do away, but which sound state of public
sentiment might Immediately correct.
The youth of the great eastern hive from
which our population flows, are accustomed to
