co'1' from one acre of poor land, without
any manure, save that of leaves, induces
me to offer you this for publication. The
following was the process. ~
"Ille land was broken up in November,
and thrown into flat ridges two feet wide,
and six feet apart. 1t lay il that situation
until the middle Of march. We then run
a furrow with small rooter, in the mid
die of the ridge. and similar one on each.
side of the middle furrow nine inches from
it-making three rooter furrows on each,
flat ridge-and dropped the corn in each
rooter furrow, double the quantity we in
tended to let stand. When brought to a
stand, our intention was to leave the stalks
three feet apart in each furrow, which
would give about eight thousand five hum
dred stalks to. the acre. When the corn
was up, thinned, and had obtained the
height of six inches, we put coat Of
leaves, about three or four inches thick,
covering the flat ridge all over and around
the corn then plowed and hoed it, cover
ing the leaves with soil. In about twelve
days, we repeated a similar process
laid the corn by some time in May, and
then coverd the ground all over, between
the rows, about six inches deep, with
leaves, which were put on and covered
while wet, in order that the ground might
retain its moisture, to prevent the crop
from firing. "The rows were 80 by 60
yards, making 80 double rows, sO yards
long. We gathered and measured three
of the double rows, two on each side, and
one in the middle; the three rows pro-
duced ten bushels in the ears, which she'll
ed out six bushels one and half peck. A
short calculation will show that, as the
three rows produced six bushels and three.
eights of bushel, the whole product Of
the 80 rows was eighty-two bushels, three
pecks, and four quarts for about an acre.
The corn being so thick, might have fired
in dry season, and unquestionably would,
if not protected by the leaves.
"Your's respectfully.

YANKEE COURTsHIP.

Jonathan Bombattcr saw Prudence
Feastall at meeting Jonathan sidled up
to Prudence arter meeting, and she kind
sided off. He went closer, and axed
her if she would accept the crook Of his
elbow. She resolved she would, and
pumped her arm right round hisn. iona.
than felt alloverish, and said he liked
the text: seek and ye shall find, was
purity good readin. Prudence hinted that
"ask and ye shall receive" was better:
Jonathan thought so too; but this .axing
was a puzzler. A teller was apt to get
into snarling, which warn't no fun
Prudcnceguess strawberries and cream
were slick. Jonathan thought they
wan't so slick as Pru's lips. Now don't"
said and she guv Jonathan's arm an invo-
untary hug. He was little started, but
thought his farm wanted some female help
to look arter the house Pru knew how to-
make realgood bread. "Now don't said
Pru "If should" said Jonathan. Snow
DON'T" said Pru. "Mabe you wouldn't
and Jonathan shuck all over, and Pru-
dence replied, If you be coming that
game, you'd better tell feyther. That's
list what want, said Jonathan, and In
three weeks Jonathan and Prudence were
my old man, and my old woman.

Miscellaneous.
TIE JEWS.

The persecution of the Jews at Damas-
Gus has excited the deep sympathy Of their
brethren in all parts of the world. In the
commercial cities who're they are princi-
pally congregated, meetings have been
held and resolutions adopted expressive OF
their feelings on the occasion, in which
other citizens have largely participated.
The tone Of these meetings, so far as ac-
counts of them have reached us, appears
TO be dignifide, and to exhibit more Of the
character which distinguished them under
calamitics in ancient days, than perhaps
any thing which has been witnessed .du-
ring their dispersion. As people their
history has been prophetically described
sin the Law and the Prophets" ,"in that very
record which they bind to their hearts as
| the richest legacy Of hnancn-and from
the same source we are authorized to be-
licvc that the time of their dispersion is
drawing to close-that the God of their
fathers will remember them in mercy will
gather them into his fold-will make them
a holy generation, a royal priesthood, a
peculiar people, and will show them his
richest favor. And who can tell but these
very trials which they are called to endure,
in sympathy for their prosecuted brethren,
may awaken the inquiry whether they
have not hitherto rejected the true Mes
siah, and whether there is any other name
given under heaven among men whereby
/ they must be saved? Or who can tell but
it may be the means OF interesting the
Church of the Lord Jesus Christ on their
behalf with something of the feeling
which actuatcd the bosom Of Paul, when
his conscience bore him witness inthe Ho-
ly Ghost that he had great heaviness and
continual sorrow in his heat, for his bre-
thcrn, his kindsmen according to the flesh,
who arc Israelites, to whom pertaineth the
adoption and the glory, and the cove
nants, and the giving of the law, and the
service of God, and the promises, whose
are the fathers, and of whom as concer-
ming the flesh Christ came, who is over
all God blessed forever Indeed we can
regard the dealings OF God with them In
no other light than as among the means
which he, in his infinite wisdom, sees tit
to employ to accomplish his expressed
and glorioas designs towards them as a
people. And hence it is highly proper
that Christians should inquire what it be-
moves them to do under existing circum-
stances, and in reference to the seed of
Abraham, the friend of God.

How cheap they ure sold, and will tell you the
place.
They discourse Of their colds, and they hem and
they cough,
And complain of their servants to pass tho time off.
But toa, that cnlivencr of wit and of soul,
Moro loquncious by fur than the draughts Of tho
bowl,
And lightcns the eyes to tho faults of mankind
In harmless chit chat and acquaintance they roast
And serve up fri nd as they serve up a toast.
A bit Of bread scandal is like dry crust,
1t would stick in their throat so they butter it first
With little affected good nature and cry
"Nobody regrets the thing deeper than l."
Oh how nice is the texture, how fragile the frame
Of that dclcntc bossom-a persons fair fame.
'Tis sensitive plant, it rocoils from the breath,
And shrinks from the touch as if pregnant with
death.
How often, how often has innocence sighed
Has beauty been rcft of its honor, its pride.
Has virtue, though pure as an angel Of light
Been painted as dark US demon of night!
Condemn me, ye gods, to newspaper tousting,
But spare inc, o spare me tca-tabe roasting.

We find some very timely and appro-
pirate remarks upon this subject in the
Boston Times, and we are happy to
find journals which are not welded to the
interests OF any particular party in poll
tics or sect in religion, taking firm stand
and speaking the truth with boldness.
Such course is at present impcrously
demanded by the highest interests of the
country and Of mankind, and those who
have the independence to adopt it will
never look back upon their efforts with re-
greet. There Is great excitement through
out the land--morc, in our humble opin-
ion, than is consistent with the advance
of truth. The political contest has open.
ed unusually early, with a degree Of folly
and madness perhaps never surpassed,
and an apparent determination to continue
lashing the human passions into more
violent commotion. In the religious
world, too, (of which we would speak
with revcrencc,) there appears to be {
strong disposition to play upon the ANNA
feelings and create sort of frenzy wholly
incompatible with the calm and holy pre-.
ccpts of the Bible.
1t has become proverbial that this is
country Of excitements its welfare ha.
been much retarded by them, and it viii
suffer still more deeply if the action Of
the people is to5e thus inlluenced.-Amer-
leans should always bear in mind thar
