While each was in quest of fugitive love,

And they wept in its waters for sympathy
"Oh never was knight such q sorrow that bore"
ooh never was maid so deserted before"
"From life and its woes let us INSTANTLY Hv.
And jump in together for company.
They searched for an eddy that suited the deed,
But here was n bramblc, and there was a weed.
"How tircsomc il is" said the maid with sigh
So they sat down to rest them in company
They gazed on each other, the maid and the knight
How fair was her form and how goodly his height

BEET SUGAR.-At late session of the
Society for the Encouragement of Nation.
al Industry at Paris, discussion took place
on the state and prospects of the manufac.
ture Of sugar from beets. Notwithstanding
the establishment of progressive impost
on domestict sugars, the improvements re-
Gently introduced in the manufacture are
such as TO render it certain that, under
equal impOsts, the manufacturer OF beet
sugar can sustain ITSELF OF the $40 FAC.
tories in operation three years since, 292
only are continued; but those which have
failed were defective in their arrangements.
Both greater quantity and better quality
of sugar is now made than heretofore. The
present amount made is 100000 lbs,
while the former yield of all the factories
was only 55,0OO,OOO lbs. Il has been
found advantageous TO increase the exPen-
ses in the manufactures, Tor the purpose o.
increasing the amount Of sugar made, anc
also its quality, instead Of diminishing the
general expenses and economizing fuel' aP'
paratus, ect. The Improvements recently
introduced are, LIST, the reduction OF the roo
of the beet TO fner pulp, 90 as to extrac
the Juice more perfecily; ID the omission
of the old prodess Of washing with water
Sd, a more rapid and more powerful mode
Of pressing; ldha better plan Of concen.
tratinQ the Juice 5th, the use ofvery large
crvstalli1srs and thus in producing refined
sugar altogether. There exists in the De,
paTtment of Nord a sugar establishment
which works off 100000 lbs. OF juice pei
day. The manufacture Of beet sugar i.
therefore highly promising in France, ant
with these improvements may be mad
profitable in the Uniied Staies.--AeUs.

Farmers work for April.

Bestir yourselves about the garden, and
sow early peas, cabbage, radishes, lettuce,
parsnips, carrots, beets and tomatoes plant
a few early potatoes, cucumbers and mel
ons, by planting the last on well pre-
pared bed of manure and lean and sand,
protected by glass, you will get them early.
A little time and money spent in this way,
is much better than laid out in fine clothes
and expensive groceries. They are the
best Injuries, and promote health and COM
fort. Tag the sheep, and don't turn out cat
tie too early, let the grass first get good
start.
Let it be remarked, that farmer who
does bis April work we'll, may be looked to
with confidence as a good farmer. Pro-
cure good seeds for all the crops you intend
to raise, and let them be put into the ground
early.
Mix compost manure we'll before apply
ing it to your ground. Gardening is too
much neglected in our country; if half the
time was employed in cuItivating a kitchen
garden, that is spent in doing nothing, or
what's worse, we should live much cheap
er, and far more to our comfort. Let the
plows be moving. Spade round young fruit
trees, and keep the ground clean and mel
low round them all summer.

RECEIPT FOR MAKING BUCK
WHEAT CAKES.
Do, dear Sally, mix up the cakes,
Just one quart Of meal it takes
Pour the water in the pot,
Be careful that tits not too hot;
SiG the meal well through your hand {;
Thicker well-dOn'tl let It stand;
Stir quick--clash--clatter--
Oh what a light, delicious batter;
Now listen to the next command;
On the dresser let it stand
Just three-quarters Of an hour,
TO feel the gentle rising power
OF powders melted into yeast
To tighten well the precious feast,
See now ii rises to the brim-
Quick, take the ladle, dip it in.
So let it rest, until the fire
The gridle heats, as you desire.
Be careful that the Goals are glowing,
No smoke around its white curIs throwing
Apply the suit softly, lightly
The griddle's black face shines more
brightly,
Now pour the batter on-delicious [!
Don't dear Sally, think me officiOus.)
But lift the tender edges slightly
Now turn it over quickly, sprightly.
IT'S done-now on the white plate lay it,
And to the breakfast room convey it.
Smoking hot, with butter spread,
IT'S quite enough to turn our head.
Now have eaten-thank the farmer
That grows this luscious, mealy Charmer,
Yes, thanks to all--the cook that makes,
These light, delicious buckwheat cakes.

eralogsis as brown and red hematites, with
all their varieties. These ores, so extensive
y used in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and
other States, as well as IN England, yield
from fifty 10 eighty per cent Of metal. The
iron though excellent for most purposes, is
not so hard as that from Sweden, or the
! northern part of New York. This opinion is
neither speculative nor coniectural. The
forges near Murbhy's farm (McGehee' S

excellent iron; and the furnace in Benton,
near the line of Taladega, as we'll as similar
small establishments in Shelby and Bib,
have produced specimens of wrought and
cast iron, quite equal to any vended in
Southern markets. Still, one, who has not
examined the country; cannot form a correct
estimate of the extent of the facilities pre-
scented by central Alabama, for the manufac-
ture OF this most useful metal.
