PLANTING CORN WITHOUT
PIOUGHING

Last season (says the Main Cultivator) we made
an experiment. the results of which it may not be
improper to record. We are not aware that any
of our farmers have yet attempted to cultivate corn
without first preparing the soil for its reception
with the plough but the thing is feasible for al
though the season was in all respects unfavorable
to corn the past season, the crop so cultivated was
more than medium one, and, so far as we conld
distinguish, as little affected by drought as other
helds that had been prepared by the previous use
ofthe plough
The soil was ola light porous texture, resting
upon substratum ofsand or gravel and had been
cultivated the year before in corn In the spring
we took on horse with a cultivator, and went
over it three times in different directions and then
gave the finishing touch then furrowed by passing
one horse plough first longitudenally and then
traversely in order so to regulate the rows as to
admit the introduction of the cutivator in noursh
ing the plants.
The manure was applied in the hills, and the
corn covered with the hoe The labor of after
culture was principally performed with the cult.
vator, nothing more being necessary than merely
to pull out the weeds from the hills and to smooth
down the soil around them with the hoe
We have seldom seen a piece of corn in which
the prospect of an abundant crop was more cheer
ing than in this, until its growth was suspended
oy the drought IL was IN valn however, that we
attempted to nourish it. for notwithstanding it con.
tnued to flourish after other fields in the vicinity
were hopelessly destroyed, it finally began to fail
and the proracted absence of rain ultimately cut il
off If any of our readers have made Similar
experiments they would confer favor by making
them known 1t has long been a question with tho
judicious cutivators, whether the turfturned down
the previous year, should be turned up until it be
decomposed-We are of opinion that the second
year after breaking sward lands the cultivator is
more beneficial than the plough.

Curious Historical Fact-Durng thetroubles
in the reign of Charles |. country girl came to
London in search of a place as servant maid, but
not succeeding, she hired herself to cary out beer
from brew house, and was one of those called
tub-women. The brewer observed good look.
ing girl in this low occupation, and took her into his
family as a servant, and after short time married
her, but he died while she was yet young wo-
man, and left her the bulk of his fortune. The
business of brewery was dropped, and Mr. Hyde
who was afterwards Earl of Clarendon finding
the widows property very considerable, married
her Ofthis marriage there was no other issue
than daughter, who was afterwards the wife of
James / l.. and mother of Mary and Anne, Queens
of England.

years ago, the wife ola Methodist minister, named
Isaac Taylor, was missing. The circumstances
were as follows: She laid down as usual with her
husband, Some time after, she arose and went out,
and came back two or three times AT last she
took up the youngest child, and kissing it. laid it
in Mr. Taylors bosom, telling him to keep it till
she returned She then left the house and return
ed no more, Dilligent search was made after her
but without success. Suspicion rested strongly on
the husband, and bones having been found in
hollow stump near his house, some years after he
was arrested and brought to trial, and for want of
evidence acquitted. He was, however general.

Messrs Editors:
The time is not far distant when the principal
thoroughfares in the United States will be travel
ed by railroad. In the State of Vermont are
many routes marked out by nature, by notes and
bounds not to be misunderstood; especially so is
the proposed route from Rutland to Whitehall via
Castleton, Fairhaven and Hampton
Where the great Architect on high
Made mountains abruptly terminate;
And form'd passage through, whereby
Man with man may communicate
What nature has begun, art should finish; the
rough places should be made smooth, and the
crooked places made straight. On the public
roads the braying of the ass the neighng of the
horsN and the believing of the OK, will, ere long,
be substituted for the shrill whistle of the locomo-
tive ....
There is not proprietor of real estate in the
vicinity ofthe proposed route but would be gain
er were he to make gift of one tenth of his prop
egty, for the purpose of building the road, rather
than that the same should not be built How then,
while capital invested in such stock will realise
from six to ten per cent, can capitalists stand aoof
From the very nature of the country adjacent to
the contemplated road, and from the probable
amount of business of railroad from Rutland to
Whitehall, there is not shadow of doubt but that
its capital stock would yield to none in point of val
ue; and were the true bearing of this question up.

SPRING

We hail thee glad Spring, oh! where hast thou been,
We have watched for thee longby glade and by glen;
BY the bubbling fount and the woodland stream, 4
Where thy breath is sweet as nfaneys dream.
Hast thou roamed afar DER sunny land,
Where bright waters play on silver strand,
Where soft spring gales float on zephyr's wing,
And flowers and fruit eternaly spring.
Oh! bright are the skies and sparkling the waves
And glowing the flowers where the green bank laves,
Where wildwood and plain are stepped in perfume,
Away and afar, DER the bright hills come.
Thy presence is sweet, and soothing thy beams,
The warbling of birds and ripping of streams,
The hills and the vallies and bright fields are glad
We joy in thy smile, yet our hearts are sad.
Though warmer suns paint the lilly more fair,
And scenes more gorgeous and glowing are there,
Mid orange groves and the clustering vine,
Is not thy home dear then why should We pine.
We pine not for scenes our feet never trod,
The evergreen hills, with majesty clad,
The wilding rose, and the clear pebble streams,
Are lovely to us as the land of dreams.
We pine not for flowers of richer hue,
For radient skies of more liquid blue
For fruits more luscious, groves of perfume;
Oh! dearer ay far is our mountain home.
