SONG:

would not have thee think of me
When hope and JOY are thine;
Yet would that my name should be
'Graved OH thy memory's shrine.
l would no thought of me should cast
A shadow DER that brow;
Yet would have thee keep the past,
Though 'twere but idle now. .Es-
As the far exile fondly clings
To Joys he once has known,
And never for moment brings
To mind the SORROWS gone
Thus would have thee Danish aught
That wakens vain regret
But those bright dreams which love hath wrong
Sweet Lady, never forget.

OLD IRONSIDES.
Ay! tear her tatter'd ensign down,
- Long has itwaved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That Banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout
And burst the canon's roar;
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more!
Her deck-once red with heroes blood,
When knelt the vanquish'd foe,
When winds were hurrying DER the flood
And waves were white below
No more shall feel the victor's tread,
Or know the conquer'd knee;
The harpies of the shore shall luck
The Eagle of the sea!
Oh! better that her shatter'd hulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave:
Nail, to the mast her holy flag,
Set every thread-bare sail,
And give her to the god of Storms,
The Lightning and the Gale!

OF attended to in any way whatever from
the time ofsowlng to the time of reaping.
The cause Of the success, they think, NAV
be explained in the following manner:
"Straw being bad conductor of heat,
and good conductor Of electricity, main
tains the root Of the plant in medium tenn
perature, and prevents the earth from being
deprived entirely from moisture. The
moisture Of the earth, or the substratum,
being continual, facilitates the gradual and
constant absorption of carbonic acid gas
from the surrounding atmosphere, and n.y.
drogen, and carbon, the chief elements Of
nourishment to vegetables, are thus econ
omized in regular supplies where they are
constantly required, and pass in combina-
ton, with oxygen from the roots up TO the
stem and branches Of the plants in which
they are assmiIated, and the oxygen thrown
off in exhalation from the leaves. The
straw decays but slowly, and thus furnishes
its substances by degrees to the young
plant in due progression and proportion,
(such as the siliquous ingredients for liz
stance, y so that the decomposition of the
straw corresponds to the four phases of fer
mentaton in progressing from the Sacchd-
rine to the alchOlic, the acid and putrid states
analogous 10 those of infancy, budding,
youth and seeding of the plant.
ave observed that our blades Of wheat
have but very few roots. and those are
short and hard, something like birds claws;
and this agrees with the remarks of Mons.
RaspaiI, who states that the most healthy
in ordinary vegetation have the least exube-
rance of roots and fi5res:
sAnother important observation. also, is.
that weeds and parasitical vegetation are
prevented by this method, for the straw
chokes every other plant but that Of its
seed. Many other interesting obServa-
tons might be made upon these expert
ments but we refraia, at present, from Oh
truding on our readers; but if any of them
wish for further information on this subject,
we shall willingly afford them every result.
aad it will easily become apparent without
further comment, and a revolution in the
present modes of agricultural labor IS q ne
cessary consequence fthis discovery. No
tillage will be required nor artificial stimu-
Iants in manure and other more or less ex-
pensive combinations with regard to soil
and culture. In fact it would be tedious
to enumerate the various advantages that
may result in practice from this casual eX-
pertinent, and therefore we proclaim it SIM
ply to the world that all may profit by it.
AS this experiment can be easily tried.
we hope some Of our farmers will put it to
the test and communicate the result.

the rights they can never peaceably attain,
that day shall! we think better of humanity.
Endurance Of wrong is no virtue. He
who submits to fraud is its accessory. Man
has no right 10 be wronged. A small evil
may be endured, as the only means of at
tanning great good, as for the sake of a
cure we may submit to an operation; but
then the evil becomes portion of the good.
1t is unjust to the people of England, the
descendants Of our common ancestors. to
suppose that ten years more can pass with
out revolution. Heaven grant that it
may be bIoodIess one-but If blood must
be shed. in Gods name let it fowl 1t were
better that the head Of every naughty and
beautiful despot in Great Britain should
roll IN the dust, than that this state of things
should continue. What matter few head
less trunks, and few puddlcs of blood, in
comparison with the freedom and happi-
ness of unborn millions? If tyranny will
not lay down privilege at the feet of JUS
tice, let the sword force it from her. The
revolution must come, and in whatever
form we shall welcome it.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

The following beautiful extract is taken
from the New England Weekly review:
"War may stride over the land with the
crushing step of giant-pestIlence may
steal over it like an invisible curse-reach-
ing its victims silently and unseen-unpeo.
ping here viIlage-and there city; until
every dwelling is a epulchre-famine NAV
brood over it with a long and weary vista.
ton, until the sky itself is brazen and the
beautiful greenness gives place to the parch-
ed desert-a wild waste of reproductive
desolatlon. But these are only physical e.
wills. The wild flowers will bloom in peace
on the field of battle, and above the crash
ed skeleton. The destroying angel Of the
pestiIence will return when the errand is
done, and the nation will again breathe free
", and the barenness of famine will cease
at laSt-the cloud will be prodigal Of It's
boarded rain-and the wilderness will BIOS

surviving spring. Let the moral and republic
can principles OF our country be abandoned
our representatives bow in unconditional
obsequiousness TO individual dictatlon-let
impudence, and intrigue, and corruption tri.
umph over honesty and intellect, and our
liberties and strength will depart forever.
Of these there can be no resuscita;ion. -
The determination Of desolation,' will be
fixed and perpetua-and. the mighty fab
rio of our glory totters into ruins, the ma
tons of the earth will mock at us in our
overthrow, like the power of darkness.

Chaldees' had gone down forever.

THE DEVIL MURDERED.

The latest vliIainous attempt at robbery,
was that of a fellow In Georgia, who put on
the livery of the Devil, and with matches
and birthstone ynt out to do his masters
work. He reaped his reward. The Raj.
eigh IN. Caro!ina) Rasp says:
The fellow distigured himself with club
foot, went to the house OF an old lady. rich
widow, and called himself the devil and
frightened the family off the premises, took
the old Iady's money and eIoped. In the act
OF retrea,ng, he was meta mile or two from
the house By man with gun, who had
been to attend a muster, and was returning
home; and who, too, had taken ''leetle"
too much Of the over-jOylu!. The man,
upon meeting him, retreated, levelled his
gun, and demanded who comes there? Il

or two subjects, and them have despatched
to the lower regions Jesse not being
disposed to let his devilship pass, presented
his gun and ordered not to move. Satan
commenced swelling, emitting smoke at the
same time, & burning sui pher. Jesse not IL
king the scent of the sui pher, FREQ. and laid
his Satanic Majesty corpse at his feet!
He then made his way to the house of the
Old lady, where he found the family in the
greatest distress. Upon inquiry, he was
told that the devil had been there, and then
were compelled TO fly to the woods for pro-
cection, or be carried olfby him alive. Jes-
see informed them that he had jus, killed the
devil. They Immediately took the road,
and tracked him by the track Of the club
foot, until they came up with his body, when
they disrobed him of his garments, took off
his club foot, lrecovered the money which he
had stolen, washed his face, and recognized
him as a man who had lived a neighbor to
them for many years.

TAKE CARE HOW YOU GO UP THE LAD
pER.-Matthew Cary, speaking of his mar
rying, says: My wife was about ten years
Younger than me. She was industrious,
prudent and economical. She had large
fund of good sense. We earl formed a
determination to indulge in no unnecessary
expense, and to mount the ladder so slowly
as to run no risk of descent. During the
whole of our marriage, ] never, as far as l
can recollect, entered tavern except on
Jury. or arbitration, or at public dinner
never in single instance, for the purpose
of drinking. ....l..
How very different the conduct of some
youngmarried people, aye, and old ones too,
nowadays. They can go 10 the taverns,
and grog shops, eat oysters, drink grog,
play cards, dice or nine-pins, spending their
seventy-fve cents or dollar two or three
times week. No marvel such people ne
YER 60 up the ladder. They are always at
the bottom, and there they will stay as long
as they live. A jug of rum tied TO mans
neck is hard thing to carry up the ladder;
and many man, after he has dragged it
half way up, has been suddenly tumbled to
the bottom.

me as partner in his establishment in

"ln order to make preparations for this
important change in life, our marriage day

Ere the six months before spoken of had

Although we thought our young friend
great fool for numbering himself because
woman had been false, still we could but
pity him, and used our utmost endeavors to
persuade him that the course he was taking
was not only foolish, but morally wrong
With some little trouble we succeeded in
finding vacancy in store, and after
