We have, we think, demonstrated,--
I. That the fertility Of the farm may be
kept up, and augmented, by the manures 1t
can be made to furnish;
2. That the condition Of the farm may be
much improved, by thorough draining;
3. That the capacities Of the farm, can
be fully developed only by good tillage;
a. That the profits of the farm, are ma
terally augmented by alternating crops,
and system mixed husbandry;
$. That the cattle (ood and manures Of
the farm, the main sources of fertility and
profit, may be greatly increased by the cul-
tlvation Of roots;
6. That the,labors of the farm. may be
economised, aud ,ts products furthersin -
creased. by substituting fallow crops for
naked falloWs.
And finally, that werethese several i'm
provements generally introduced into our
agricultural practice. they would render
our farmers more Independent, bring indus
try into better repu'e, and essentially pro-
mote the prosperity aud happiness OF oil
classes of society.
There is no doubt that most Of our i'm
poverished farms may, under the system Of
management we have been describing, and
with the auxiliary aud available aid OF lime.
marl gypsum. swamp eath, ashes,
&c. be progressively lm5Tovcd in fertility,
and rendered productive and prof able.
| We have the strongest grounds for this be
lief. The like has been done in Great
Britain, in the Netherlands, in Germany, in
France. WORKOUT lands have there been
renovated and rendered very valuable.

ment in the valley Of the Hudson The
partial introduction Of the New Husbandry,
has, within Few years, doubled lhe sur

counties between AIbany and New York !;
and yet tho improvement has there been
but begun.
The same management which our subject
suggests for the renovation of old lands,
will perpetuate the fertility Of those which
have been newly brought under culture.

ONE YEAR AGO.
One year ago--ah who can say
VIVA, changes one short year may bringI
What visions it may sweep away,
What shadows DER our pathway fling.
Oh who can tell the cloud, the blight,
The with'fing Of all precious flowers,
The falling Of each holy light
That laddened this lo.e world Of ours.
She stands amid the throng again
The bright, the beautiful, the gay
Ese hears each dear familiar strain
Their melody has passed away.
Shs'stands beneath the midnight sky,
and countless stars are shining bright
They have no radiance to her eye,
She hecticrh not their living light.
The earth is clad in bridal dress,
Her summer dress OF emerald green,
She recks not OF It's loyeliness--
She is no: what she once hath been.
Tine t1ax ko~ - 1s.rbt
There was no shadow on her brow
Her eye with feelings fire was bright T.
Whittier has fed its brightness nows
Her tones were full Of love and mirth,
Her thoughts seemed borne on angel'swins
She lov'd the sky--the lov'd the GARTH
Sac lov'd all bright and glorious things.
Ind virtues high and holy dreams,
Aud feelings pure and deep and true,
And fancy's bright bewildering CLEANS,
That meancr natures meter knew.
AL these rere hers orc year ago
What coming years may meier replace
We search the wreck, the blight Of woe,
But who its hidden path may trace!
There Is land---thcrc is land
Ahove--beyond the fightof years
Wherc love and peace go hand in hand,
And joy is never dimm'd BY tears.

Captain Truck was ID The

to Il cruiser an air of finish and

carriage-the symmetry Of the
spars, and the gracefulncss Of

hall or hamper, told all who
knew any thing Of such subjects
that the stranger was a vessel

As every thing was ready

and the stripes Of America were
soon seen fuuering nearly in

now ran some distance in par
alleI lines, rolling from each
other so heavily that the bright
copper ofthe corvette was seen
nearly to her keel. The En-

trumpet; the detached words Of

two, bu,the bowling Of the gale
rendered all connection in the
