BATTLE SONG OF THE INVADED
"Enori pOtius guam serpire prGstat."
The foe, the foe! they come, they come!
Light up the beacon pyre,
Let every hill and mountain home
Give back the signal fire,
And wave the red-cross on the night,
The blood-red cross of war
What though we perish in the fight,
Our fathers died before!
Up, meet the foe-on, to the strife!
For freemen's blades we hold,
And hands that fight for land and life
Fight not like those of gold
Give shout and banner to the gale,
The trumpet-peal it forth,
I'LL our sons pour down from every vale
Like snowy fakes from the north.
Hark! lo-their shouts upon the breeze.
Their banners in the sun,
And like the thunder of the seas
Their deep tread rumbles on
Wen meet them here on each bold height.
In every glen make head
God give the battle to the right! =
We will be free or dead
We stand on sacred, holy ground,
Where thousand memries meet,
Our fathers homes are all arounS#
Their graves beneath our feew ~
Our roofs are smouderng faAEnd wide
That late smiled in the SUI
Our brides are weeping at n side,
Gods! fethe foe come oM
Hurrah! hurrah! he CLEANS in sight,
1t fires the brain to see
How the proud spoiler flashes bright
In wars gay panoply!
Well show him that our fathers brands
Nor rust nor time can stay,
With tramp and shout, bold hearts Il hands,
Up, freemen, and away!
The work is done the strife is DER,
The whirlwind Numbered Bly,
There's not from hill TO ocean shore,
A foeman left todie
Our brides are thronging every height,
They wave us weeping home,--
God gives the battle to the right,
Back 10 our hearth-stones come!

TION.

HISTORICAL MEMOIRS OF COLONEL SETH WAR.
NER.
Among the persons who have performed inn
portant service to the State of Vermont and the
United States, Col. Seth Warner deserves to be
remembered with respect
lie was born at Woodbury., in the colony of
Connecticut, about the year 1744, of honest and
respectable parents. Without any other advan-
tages tor an education than were to be found
in the common schools of the town, he was ear
~ distinguished by the solidty ana extent of his
understanding. About the year 1868 his parents
purchased a tract of land in Bennington, 81 soon
afterwards removed to that town with their fam
lily. In the uurultvated state of the country, in
the fish, which the rivers 81 ponds were furnish
ed, anu IN the game, which the woods abound
ed young Warner found variety Of objects
suited TO his favorie inclinations and pursuits;
and he soon became distinguished as fortunate
and indefatgable hunter
His father, Captain BENJAMIN Warner, had a
strong inclination to medical enquiries and pur-
suits; and agreeable to the state of things in
new settlements. had to look for many Of his
medicines in the natural virtu of the plants and
roots that were indigenous to the county. His
son, seth, frequently attended bin in these bot
ahlcal excursions, contracted something OF his
fathers taste for the business, and acquired
more information on the subject than any other
man IN the country. BY this kind of owle'lge
he became useful TO the families in the new set
tlements, and administered relief in many cases,
where no other medical assistance could at that
time be procured. BY such visits and practice
he became known to most families on the west
side OF the Green Mountains; and was generally
esteemed by them man highly useful, both on
account of his information and humanity.
About the year 1853 a scene began to open,
which gave new turn to his active enterprising
spirit. The lands OH which the settlements
were made, had been granted by the Governors
OF New Hampshire. The government of New
York claimed Jurisdiction to the eastward rs
tar as Connecticut river, and announced to the
inhabitants, that they were within the territory of

IMPROVEMENTS. Farmers should aim at con-
stantIy improving the soil Sof their farms-thev
should study the existing defects, and endeavor
as fast as circumstance will permit to remedy
them if their land is too wet, they should drain
it, 81 if too stlffiand cIayey they should apply
loosening manures if light and stertile, they
should mako use Of green crops of clover as
manure, with plaster and lime--if sour (gener-
ally indicated by growth of sorrel, broom grass
or shrub pines,) applying all the enriching ma
nure they can possibly obtain for good farming
and the application of manure, are inseparable.
They will thus not only increase their capital
by the increased product of their farms every
year, but they will do it by the constantly aug
menting value of their land, their profit will be
twofold,an in their increase mutually accelerate
each other-Farmer's Cabinet.

HoEINa Corn. The objects Of hoeing and
working the soil about corn are, first to destroy
all weeds and secondly to loosen the soil at the
surface, that it may the more readily absorb
dews and rain which fall upon it,, and prevent
the evaporation of moisture, which takes place
much sooner where the soil is hard, than where
il is kent loose and mellow. The practice SO
prevalent, of deep cultivation by the plough
between rows of corn is not to be recommend
ed. If the ground has been properly prepared
before planting, when not too wet, it will need
no additional looseing. After The corn has ar
rived at the usual size for hoeng, the soil should
only he disturbed at the surface For as the
plants increase in size they send out long fbrous
thread like roofs in all directions, which branch
out every way, and run all over the ground
and it IS through these that they receive a large
share of their nourishnent.
Killing corfu we would always disapprove.
although it is very commonly practised. Not
unlrequently in performing this operation, all
the loose mellow earth is scraped away from
between the rows and henped up round the
plants, forming kind of roof about them,
throwing off the rain which runs down in the
hard soil thus laid bare at the bottom of the
burrows, which the dry weather bakes to the
last degree of hardness so that the roots can re-
ceve no moisture here, and little within these
artificial pyramids. A reason is assigned in hill
ing,--that it makes the corn stand firmer and
more erect and is less liable to be broken down
by the wind. This may be the case when the
plants are small and do not need such help =
when they attain height of several feet and
are loaded with leaves and ears it must DO evi
dent hat little loose earth piled about the roots
is totally insufficient for such purpose. 1t is
the strong bracing roots which radiute from the
stock which are to support it there and to bury
those roots deep under the surface while they
growing, and shut out from them both heat
and air, and render them weak and tender, would
only help to bring about the very thing we
wish to prevent.
1t is important to farmers that this subject be
well understood for little knowledge may
save many weary steps, and be the means Of an
abundant crop in the bargain. But if any farm
ers doubt the accuracy of our reasoning, we
would request them to test it by experiment 5
by ploughing and killing high on one part of
their corn, and using the cultivator and applying
the same amount of labor ia mellowing the flat
surface of the other, and then measure the re-
sults.-Farmer's Cabinet.

DISEASED Pres. On recent visit into the
country, we noticed in the yard of friend, a
pig that was entirely deprived of the use of his
hind legs apparently from weakness On men,
tioning the case to our friend, he told US that
he had known such cases cured by making Sc
ton or issue in the back. A writer in the Far
mer's Register, after describing the disease says
~ make small incision on each side of the
spine, through the skin, just over the kidneys,
and introduce into each incision one or two
peas, beans, or grains of corn as may be most
convenient at the time, previously rolled in tar
and close the skin over them, thereby produc-
ing an issue over each kidney. The result has
been that in few days the hog was restored to
its legs again. and in short time to its health
This practice have followed for some years
and in no instance have / seen it fail to produce
radical cure. An issue made in any other
way would doubtless be equally efficacious.-
The above mode was adopted as The most sim
pie that presented itself to my mind. Maine
