CAINHOY VILLAGE.

There was time when those deserted halls,
Those tott'ring piles and vy-corer'd walls,
To my young thought, tho seem'd they desolate,
Were d"arer far than if in first estate.
Sill spring the flowers, beneath the sunny ray:
Still chlrps the bird upon his dewy spray:
Still blooms the oak, beneath whose spreading limbs
helcasd from school, lcarnd my sabbath hymns
Still as he plies the light and feathcrd oar,
The boatlnan's song dies family on the shore
Remembered charms! how seem they here to blend,
As if upon the tomb of some lov'd friend.
'ris am changed; and this sad scene recalls,
How soon with me, each fairy castle falls;
How the cold flood of time can ebb no more
And alone o. lies deserted shore!

ofthc firmcst and trucst patriots within the

men Of his time and substance he had fur

sufficient to arm the males of his house.
hold. These consisted of himself, three
sons and about twenty-five negroes. The
female part of his house consisted of his
wife, one daughter, the heroine of our tale,
and several slaves. In the second story
of his dwelling house Immediately over
the front door was a small room called he
"armory,' in which the arms were deposi-
ted. and always kept for immediate use.---
About the time at which VIC introduce our
story, the neighborhood of the village was
annoyed by the nocturnal prowlings and
!deprcdations Of numerous Tories.
1t was or a cam ::.1 bright Sabbath
afternoon in the AFORESAID summer, when
Judge V. and his family, with the excep-
ccption of his daughter Catherine and an
old indisposed female slave, were attending
service in the village church. Not breath
disturbed the serenity of the atmosphere;
not a sound profaned the sacred stiffness
of the day; the times were dangerous and
Catherine herself and the old slave kept
in the house until the return of the family
from Church. A rap was heard at the
door. "ssarcly,' said Catharine to the
slave, ''lhe family have not yet come home;
church cannot be dismissed" The rap
was repeated. 81 will see who it is" said
Cat!,c:;n&, Is s::o ran upstairs into the ar

the front door, and on The opposite side of
the street, three of &hom she knew were
tories who formerly resided in the village.
Their names were Van Zandt, Finley and
! Sheldon: the other three were strangers
but she had reason to believe them to be
of,he same political stamp from the COM
pany in which she found them.
Van ZaEdt was a notorious character
and the number and enormity of his crimes
had rendered his name infamous in that
vicinity. Not murder or robbery was

estimates that the value of the surplus cot.
ton seed of the United States, if converted
into oil, cannot be less than ten millions of
dollars. He also estimates that it is capa-
bic of producing 1858 millions of cubic
feet of gas, more than enough to supply
"a such cities as London, and equivalent
for this purpose to 100000 chaldrons of
coal. These discoveries are among the
fruits of science, applied to the arts and
to human comfort. The cotton seed oil

REMARKS

On Tie general principles Of Husbandry.
l. Whatever may be the nature of your
soil, and situation of your farm, remember
that there is no soil so good but it may be
exhausted and ruined by bad tliage, and
that there is none so bad that it cannot be
rendered fertile by good tillage, even bar
rem heath, if it can be ploughed and swar-
ded.
2. The true art of husbandry consists in
suffering no crop to grow upon your land,
that will so far exhaust your soil, as to les
sen the value of your succeeding crop,
whatever profit such crop may afford
you.
8. To avoid this, suffer no one crop to
grow two years successfully upon the same
piece of ground, excepting grass and buck
wheat, without the fertilizing aid of rich
manures to support the strength of the
soil; and even then, a change of crops will
generally do best, excepting onions, car
rots and hemp.
4. Every plant derives from the earthfor
its growth, such properties as are peculiar
to itself; and this plant, when followed sue
cessively for two or more years upon the
same ground, will exhaust the soil of those
properties peculiar to itself, without lessen
ing its powers to produce some other
plants. This fact is most striking in the
article of flax, which will not bear 10 be
repeated oftener than once in seven years,
and is common to all crops, with the e1cep-
ton of those noticed as above.
S. To avoid this evil, arrange your farm
into such divisions as will enable you to
improve all the variety of crops your lands
may require, in such regular succession,
as to form routine of S, 6, orr years, ac-
cording to the natule, quality situation Of
your farm.
6. This method will make poor land
good and good land better. Try and see:
