uge in a secuslon which he in vain endeavored to
penetrate, and awaited with maden's modesty, and
a lovers anxiety, the arrival of her betrothed-for
lovers will exchange pledges though it be through
stone walls or over tempesuous waves, made a
grand mistake IN meeting another gentleman of
the name OF Whitney, who happened to arrive
at certain place IN train of cars in which at the
same hour she expected the real Whitney; but at
length, after the course of true love had with
roughness to which their young hearts had been
strangers, they were happily and trumphanty mar
ried.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney went to New Orleans,
the seat of some millions worth o. property which
she claimed rs her own, and which she contends is
fIaudently withheld from her. Mr.. Whitney there
investigated the matter with untring diligence,
met with usual obstinate resistance in such cases,
and was, believe, even thrown into prison. He
was not destined either to recover the property or
TO continue in life with his beloved BRIDE Mrs.
Whitney became q widow, youthful widow, and
sincere mourner In this state of womanhood,
she was approached by the gallant old General,
who sympahzed so deeply with her sorrows as to
offer to take that place in her affections which had
been occupied by her departed Whether those
substantial charms In expectancy had any hand in
lvanquisning the heart of the old gentleman, it
would be presumptuous in any one to determine,
without looking into the interior of his mind and
inspecting his motives. The frank-hearted girl,
soldier, in accepting his hand, that one condition
must ever be reserved. She was always to have
the privilege of eulogizing the character, loving
the memory, and descanting on the virtues of her

such boon? OF late years the General and his
lady have been engaged in travelling as the minis

prosecuting this claim. involving an immense for

is little doubt that Mrs. Gaines will win the cause

Up the hillside, down the glen,

Summon out tie might of mem
Like a lion crouching low,
Like n night.storm rising slow,
Like a tread Of unseen foe,

Stand your homes aud ultars by
On your own free hearth-stOnes die
Clang the bells in all your spires!
Ca the amy hills of your sires
Fling to Heaven your signal fires!
From Wuchusct, lone and bleak,
Unto Borkshire's tallost peak,
Let the flaming hcralds speak
o, for God uud Duty stand,
Heart to heart, and hand with hand,
Round the old graves of your land
Whose shrinks and flters now,
Whose to the yoke would bow,
Brand the craven on his brow.
We have only lef US space
For free aud fearless race
None for traitors false and base.
Like the Angels voice sublime,
Heard above Il world of crime,
Crying Of the end OF Time,
In the proud car of the South,
With one heart and with one mouth,
Utter freedoms mighty oath:
Make our Uuion.bond n chain
We will snap its links In twain,
We will stand erect again
Give US bright, though broken rays,
Rather Than eternal haze
Clouding DER the fullor5ed blaze.
Keep your land of sun and bloom,
Only leave to Freedom room
For her Forge aud Plow and Losn.
Take your savery-blackene wales,
Give us but our own free gales,
Blowing on our thousand sails.
" Live, as Paupers, mean and vile,
On the fruits of unpaid Toll,
Locusts of your glorious soil
Live, if it DO life to dwell
In your tyrant citadel,
Mined beneath by fires Of hell
Our bleak hills shall bud and blow,
Vines our rocks shall ovorgrow,
Plenty in oui valleys flow.
And, when vengeance lights your skies,
Hthor shall ye turn your eyes,
AS the damned on Paradise
We but ask our rocky strand,
Freedoms true and brother band,
freedoms brown and honest hand.

A CLOSE OBSERVER,

Ashes as Manure. A late number of the Maine
Farmer contained an excellent article by Mr.. Sam
uel Stetson, on the use of ashes. One statement
of his developes something new to us, though it
may not be SO to others. He says 81 have
found that wherever fair dressing of leached ash
es, say from 200 to $50 bushels per acre. is used in
one year, where potatoes are planted, that for sew
era years afterwards the potatoes grown there are
so Scnbby as to be entirely unfit for the market
for table use. | have had to dig this knowl-
edge out to my cost, and this provoked me to in
quire of others, and found the same result
wherever leached ashes were used, scabby pota-
toes came after" Mr.. S. accounts for this effect
by the potatoes coming in contact with the Jumps
Of ashes, which "eat off the skin, and leave the po
tatoes scabby"--and says: Z" | expect the same re-
suit must follow, until the bunches of ashes are dis
solved by the pillow, rain and FROST and then | ex-
pect the mischief will cease, and not before" Not
outstanding this injurious effect of leached ashes
on potatoes, Mr. Stetson considers them "one of
the most valuable manures for grass, grain of all
sorts, peas, beans, &C." For wheat especially, he
says he knows of "no manure valuable, accord
ing to its cost, as lcached ashes"
Remember, ashes should be used on light soils
Ashes are useful for grass oats, clover, barley,
rye and wheat for the reason that all these plants
cannot thrive without portion Of potash.

LINZ Il AS A MANURE.

Much labor has been exhausted in trying to as
certain the best method to enrich and prepare the
ground so as to procure the best crop. After using
various kinds of dressing, none have proved better
than lime for land on which corn is planted.
Lime has in itself many valuable properties. 1t
gives suitable degree Of heat to cause immediate
vegetation; it guards it from worms and insects
that often destroy one half of the planting it eau.
ses an early and rapid growth that ripens the grair
before the frost appears. When lime is used fol
other kind Of grain, it has the same effect as OF
corn; it has also the valuable quality of guarding
it against mildew. No grain SO prepared, will suf
fer from this great evil with which SO many valua
Bile fields have been destroyed
The best method of using lime is, to mix one
eighth part with old barn manure, then to be pla
ced in the hole with the corn. When used for 9th
er kinds of grain, it should be spread the top
the ground after it is plowed, and narrowed in witt
the grain. No one can fully estimate the value o
lime for this purpose, unless they try the expert
ment The average difference is from ono. third t
one-half more by using the lime.
1t is also almost the only sure preventive of yer
min on fruit trees in this section Of the country
Lime placed about the body Of the trees in tn

by the writer.
In many parts OF England, they estimate the val
Of their land in some proportion, to its nearnes
to lime kilns, on account ofthe valuable propertie
of lime for dressing. Our farmers should turn the
attention to the subject
CLOSE OBSERVER.
The cost of freight is so high that lime cannc
be brought here and sold at price to warrant muc
use of it for manure; but there is lime ston,
which will make an article just as good for manur
as the best of lime. Will it not, as fertilizer, pa
for burning?
