Oh, time is sweet, when rossAmset,
With spring's sweet breath around them;

Ifthose wa love have found them;
And sweet the mind that still can find
A star in darkest weather;
But nougbt can be so o'sweet = sea,
As old friends met together! .. ..
Those OLD days, when youth was hold; -.
And Time sole wings 10 speed it,
And youth ne'er knew how fast time few,
Or knowing, did not heedit a.-.r-s
Though gray each brow that neets us now,
For age brings wintry weather, ram
Yet nAughtcan be so sweet 4, see, a}. ..a.

A friend u face hard Gather,
Oh. thus may We yet jov to see

TENHE characteristic feature OF this work IS sig
niiied and portrayed in its title. The month
ly wreath We intend Offering TO our readers shall be
literally composed OF :: Evcrsreens.' Our design
is to collect into shape at once neat and suitable
for urcscryaton the best and most interesting spc-
cilncns of periodical and fugitive literature OF the
day; to carefully separate the chaf from the wheat
the dross from the fine gold, and to present com.
penlium, which like good wiNc Shall hc heigiltcn-
ed in value by age, and be, i'll the language OF our
motto, " perennial and llagrant."
OF course it will but require proper exercise OF
taste to render mrgaZn2, formed on this plan the
richest depository Of elegant and entertaining iera-
ture ever publslcd and this we seriously mean tho
"Evcrsrccn" shall b.: for We quite sure we have
the,matc rials to render it We can boast OF Il
more brilliant list of contributors than any cohtcn-
porancous periodical, may be seen by g!allclng
at the contents o! our present number. ln'ecd
there is no author hon0rably known to fame in these
or any former times whose productions we do not
have access. We shall always aim, however, at
presenting what is new and comparatively original
to the readers Of this country; believing at the same
time that an old familiar piece, it be excellent III
itself is far preferable to an orig gnal article having
no claim upon the attention oI persons of refined
literary taste.
A portion OF the talent of.thc age, in this COIN
try AMI in Great Bilaln has been exercised in the
periodical department of literature. We need not
mention the names of Campbell, Wilson. Bulwcr
Washington living, Jcfrcys, Lockhart Knowles

Agricultural.
F;om the Boston Culliva.or.

Drrp P!antiag.-A patron,of ours in
f'rmcd usa few weeks since that whileta
king his fodder, lie discovered great di(.
ference in the appearance between two
pieces of corn, which were planted at the,
same time, and in the same kind of soil
The fodder on one piece Of ground with
stripping before it was entirely burnt up,
to use the common phrase. On going to
the other piece, he found it green TO the
ground AMI in: good plight for shipping
He was struck with the difference in the
two lois of corn, and on reflection, recol-
lecled that on getting ready to plant his
corn in the spring, he ran furrow with a
large shovel, or bar.share. plough, after
which he followed it with small plough
called bull tongue, running it pretty deep
in the same furrow, ill he got perhaps half
over the piece, when he concluded to
plant the balance in single furrow and
discontinue the use of the bull tongue
The result was, that the part planted deep
in the opening made by the small plough,
where the larger one had previously been
run, produced third more fodder, ami of
a better quality than that planted in the
shallow mark made by the large plough a.
lone; besides the great difference there
must be in the weight of the corn, the lat
ter drying up too fast of course, to make
a proper article for bread. This should
be remembered by farmers, and the evil of
shallow planting avoided, especially since
they all seen to think the season are be-
coming shorter, and much dryer than for
merly.

He was a Frcnchman by birth, but lad
lived some time in the United States. lie
would stand and talk upon any Serious
matter, with an eye shut, for hours, and
at such times had rather a harsh look. -
But he was tall and finely formed; his
manners were highly polished, and in his
pleasant moods, one, who did not know
him, would have suspected him for being
any thing else but pirate.
He lost four vessels and many men IN
a storm in 1918. Three of the vessels
were lost at sea, and one went ashore on
Virginia Point, ON the opposite side of the
bay.
He stated that he had spent one winter
in fashionable society at Washington City,
and that he had expended sixty thousand
dollars during the time.
When he left the Island, he went to
embark in the Columbian service, having
received the tender of commission in
their navy. No authentic account has
ever been given of his death, and some
of those who know him, believe that he
is still alive.

ELEGY

ADDRESSED TO THE MEMORY OF COL. JOHN norKIN
Sad thoughts had como: and rushing by,
Like shadows of tho air,
Were dreams of life, which wonder'd why
The lov'd friend was not there.
sought him thro' tho field and grove,
And by the strcamlet, where
In other days. he usd to rove,
But still ho was not there.
Thence in the hall, and at tho hearth,
(Sad cmblems now they wear,
OF all their former festive mirth,)
And yet he was not thore.
Among the city crowd and throng,
Where busted mon repair,
Came each known form, and pass'd along,
But his-hc was not there.
In vain tho searcf-whcrc'cr went,
Tho hope defcr'd-the fear,
Were phantoms Of time misspcnt,
Alas! ho was not there.
There is a grave, new mado grave,
Dark trophies does it bear,
And all around Deaths banners wave
They say our friend is there.
There.stcep'd in dew, tho rank grass weops,
AS if in silent prayer:
And slecplcss watch, the rickctkeeps,
Der that which sIumbcrs there.
But, o! beneath tho grassy mound,
Tho gcmmd with friendships tear,
Could the still valued friend be found!
Indeed, he was not there.
Faith saw thro' times unhallowcd gloom,
A vista bright and clear,
Spreading beyond the opcn'd tomb,
And spirits cntring thcTc.
There voices sweet wcro heard 10 say,
NIortals for Hoav'n prepare:
Look to that homo Of endless day
And find thy brother there. P
