HOPPE;

From a French Translation Of Schiller.
Mos, men speak Of happier futurity. IT'S
the subject Of their dreams; tits the end,
to which all theii efforts tend. The
world grows old, and then its youth is
renewed.
Man ever hopes for happier destiny
Hope heralds him into life. She plays
around the joyous infant; her charms
seduce the young man; the old man
preserves her amid the frost Of age; he
even plants the tree of hope, on the bOr-
ders Of the tomb.
Hope is not vain and chimerical thought
born of sick brain.-Our heart cries
10 US with loud voice, that we are
made for something better, and tho voice
Of the heart neyes deceiyes us,

From the Southern Agrieulturalist.
GRASSES, &c. FOR SHEEP.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS your valuable work
is open to all subjects connected with the
husbandry of our country, and more par.
ticularly this Southern portion Of it, beg
leave to occupy small space. The grow
ing Of wool does not much interest US at
present, but the time is coming when it
may be necessary for us 10 make every
edge cut. Whether so or not, there are
always among us, those who are fond of
good and sound mutton, and many who
are deferred from raising sheep by fear of
the rot, and other disorders. My expert
ence may remove portion OF that fear.-
take no more than ordinary care of mine
in winter. but l observe in the pine barren
where they pasture, species Of creeping
pepper grass of which they are very fond.
1t comes up early in February, and dies
in the summer. The stimulating warmth
of this food, preserves them in health, and
keeps them free of the rot, and other disco
ses so fatal to sheep, in cold rainy seasons.
Those who have the pepper grass, and de-
sire to raise sheep, should encourage the
growth oft. There are other plants and
grasses, which being pungent, will answer
equally well, and Of which sheep are fond.
Among them are mint, penny-royal, and
parsely. Satisfied with my spontaneous
growth of pepper grass, ! have not culti-
waited either of the last mentioned aroma
tics. but think their having good effect
on sheep cannot be doubted. / would ad-
wise cultivation ofthe pepper grass how
ever, in preference, but only because it is
more proper and natural to recommed
more highly what kno,o, than what on:
ly believe, no matter how confidently. 1t
is certain however that sheep take freely
all the plants have named. Ifthis COM
muuication instructs but one individual.
shall be happy in having done some little,
towards advancing the husbandry of my
native State. A FARMER.

COMMENCEMENT OF THE SEVENTH
CANTO, OF VOLTAIRE'S HENRIADE;


TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH,
By the Editor.
The infinite clemency Of the God who
created US, in order to soften the misfor-
tunes of this lransitory life, has placed
among us, two bene6cent beings who
aresever dwellers upon ear,h-supports
inmisfor,une, and treasures in need.
One is sweet Sleep, and the other is Hope.
The one, " hen man bowed down, feels
the organs Of his feeble body vanquished,
powerless, and without energy, comes to
succour nature, by happy calm. and to
hringShim an oblivion of the pains, that
he endures.
The osher animates our hearts, inhames
8ouT desires, and even in deceiving US,
gives US real pleasure. But in the fa-
vosedomortals, to whom Heaven sonds
her,she does not inspire fai,hless Joy.
She. brings the promise, and the support
Of God.y She is immovable, and pure
as the Deity.

nSlea.SA. Road, twelve miles above Ham
burg, a Bay Horse, about fifteen and half
hands high, nine or ten years old, with some
white hairs OIL one hip, and some few saddle
m;1ks-sway backed little, round body and
well made-in good order when taken away,
weith $125. The horse believe was stolen
by man whose name is Richard Ford, who
was committed toEdgefeidJ Jail. OH the 18th inst.
for theft, and says he resides in Lincoln Co.
Go. He is man of bad character and is sup
posed to have traded said horse not far of, or
sent him am ay perhaps by some Of his associ-
ates in Georgia 1t is believed he has comrades
in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, aud
that he has paid the penalty of the law at the
the whipping post, as his back has been
well lashed and the scars have not changed
their color yet. The Jailor examined him and
found such to be the case. The said Ford has
recently been trading in horses and mules in
this District, and no doubt all were stolen pro-
pery. 1t is probable that he and his company
carry on the business on a large scale, as he is
thought to be q noted villain.
The above reward will be given for the de-
livery of the horse to me, or for proof to con.
vict the thief trading him.

AGRIcULTuRAL.-Ifgrass and stalks be
ever so thick upon your fields you should
not by any means burn them. They will
soon decay and afford a valuable manure.
buff you burn them, as is the foolish prac-
tice of some. you not only lose the manure
but also deaden and seriously injure the
soil by the fire which runs over it.

From the Common School assistant.

THINGS A FARMER SHOULD NOT DO.
A farmer should never undertake to cu-
iivate more land than he can do thorough
ly; halftilled land is growing poorer; well
titled land is constantly improving.
A farmer should never keep more cattle.
horses, sheep or hogs, than he can keep
in good order; an animal in high order the
first December, is already half winlered.
A farmer should never depend on his
height or for what be can by care and good
management,produc on bis own farm; he
should never beg fruit, while he can plant
trees, or borrow tools when he can make
or buy; high authority has said, the bor-
rover is servant to the lender.
The farmer should never he 80 INNER
sed in political matters as to forget to SOW
bis wheat, dig bis potatoes and bank up
his cellar; nor should he be so inattentive
TO them as to be ignorant of those great
questions ofnational andSta;e policy which
will always agitate, more or less, a free
people.
No farmer should allow the reproach of
neglecting education to be against himself
or family; acknowledge is power, the be-
ginning of il should be early and deeply
laid in the district school.
A farmer should never use ardent spirits
as drink; il, while undergoing severe ia
tigue and the hard labor Of the summer, he
would enjoy robust health, let him be tenn
perate i'll all things.
A farmer never should refuse fair price
for any thing he wants to sell; we have
known man who had several hundred
bushels of wheat 10 dispose of, refuse IS,
because he wanted IS. 3d., and after keep.
ing his wheat six months, was glad to &c,
IS. Sd. forit.

HINT TO FARMERs.-Iti is said that Spir-
its of turpentine is deadly enemy of all
the insect tribes, and consequently will de-
slroy the bug or worms, which is found to
prey on wheat or other grain. With a
watering pot, finely perforated in the spout,
a person may sprinkle field of ten acres,
without using more than two or three gal
Ions.

PROPOS AIS
FOR PUBLISHING A
Temperance Journal
IN COLUMBIA, S. C..

THNHE State Temperance Society of South
@ Carolina, at the late Anniversary Meet
ing in Columbia, resolved to establish, if prac-
ticable, a Weekly Newspaper, devoted to the
cause OF Temperance. The Executive Com
mittee, whose duty it is to carry this resolution
into effect beg leave To address the several So
cieties and individuals, in the. States, engaged
in this good cause, upon this interesting subject.
The increasing prevalence and ruIuous eff
fects Of the use of intoxicating liquors, call loud
ly for some decisive measures to rouse public
attention to this dreful evil, and unite the coun-
cils and efforts Of the benevolent and patriotic,
in arresting its progress. No means seem more
wisely adapted to accomplish their purpose,
than such dissemination Of facts and state
ments upon the subject, as would be effected by
such publication. The labours, experience
| and investigation OF the friends Of Temperance
in the Northern States have accumulated treas
ures OF knowledge and arguments in this cause.
But these valuable materials are excluded from
ouT community, by their being mingled with
speculatons hostile to our domestic institutions.
The only way therefore, IN which the interest
ing details and powerful reasonings, contained
in the Temperance publications Of the north,
can be given to the public here, is through the
columns Of the proposed paper. 1t is thus
manifest that the best interests of our State and
the progress of the Temperance Reformation,
so vitality important to public safety and happi-
ness. will be most effectually promoted by
general circulation Of the Temperance Aduocute.
The following plan will regulate the publi-
cation. twill contain
/. Original communications and domestic
intelligence relative to the general subject Of
Intemperance.
II. Copious extracts from Books, Pamphlets
and Newspapers, published in other States to
promote the Temperance cause.
Ill. A weekly summary of general and do
mestic news. prices current, &c.
As the friends of Temperance, the expected
patrons Of this Paper, belong to different po
Iitical parties, and religious denominations, all
discussions of controversial or sectarian
character, both as to politics and religion, will
be scrupulously excluded.
The general design of the publication is to
furnish every family in the State, desirous of
obtaining it, with full information and authentic
documents as TO the direful evils of Intemper-
ance, and the necessity of Reformation.
As the commencement of q Publication can
only be warranted by large subscription,
strong appeal is made to the officers of Temper
ance Societies, and the friends of the cause to
whom this Prospectus is sent, to obtain as ma
ny subscribers as possible.

HINTS TO NEWSPAPER EDITORS

HINTS TO NEWSPAPER EDITORS.
One reader cries, your strains too grave,
Too much morality you have.
Too much about religion;
Give me some witch and wizard tales,
Of sipshod ghosts, with fins and scales,
And feathers like pigeon.
E,oye to read, another cries,
Those monstrous fashionable lies
In other words, those novels,
Composed of king, and priests, and lords,
Of border wars, and Gothic hordes,
That use to live in novels.
TO, no, cries one, we've had enough
: OF such confounded loyesick stuff
To craze the fair creation:
Give US some recent foreign news
Of Russians, Turks, the Poles, or Jews
Or any other nation.
The man of dull scholastic lore
Would like to see little more
OF first rate scraps of Latin;
The grocer fain would learn the piice
OF tea and sugar, fruit and rice,
The draper, silk and satin. -
Another cries, want more fun,
A witty anecdote, or pun,
A rebus, or riddle;
Some wish for parliamentary newe,
And some, perhaps, Of wiser views,
Would rather hear fiddle.
The critic, too, Of classic skill,
Must dip in gall his gander quill,
And scrawl against the paper
Of all the literary fools,
Bred in our colleges or schools,
He cuts the greatest caper.
Another cries, want to see
Ajurnbled up variety,
Variety in all things
A miscellaneous hodge-podge PRINT,
Composed. q only give the hint,)
Of fmultifarious small things.
IVAN: some marriage news, says miss,
It constitutes my highest bliss,
To hear Of weddings plenty;
For in time Of general rain,
None suffer from drought, It's plain,
At least, not one in twenty.
Twant to hear of deaths, says one,
Of people totally undone.
BY losses, fire, or fever;
Another answers, full as wise,
I'd rather have the fall and rise
Ofracoon skins and beaver.
Some signify secret wish
For now and then a favorite dish
Ofpolitics To suit them;
But here we rest at perfect ease,
For should they swear the moon was cheese,
We never should confute them.
Or grave or humorous, wild or tame.
Lofty or low, It's all the same,
Too naughty, or too humble:
SO brother editors, pursue
The path that seems the best to you,
And let the grumblers grumble.
