known that GRAHAM's MAGAZINE has far sur
passed any periodical work ever published in this
ar any other country. The highest ambition OF
rival publishers seems thus far to have been to

costly and beautiful works of art with which the
successive numbers of this journal have been
graced. In the course Of the succeeding volumes
many important new features will be introduced.

obtained circulation OF more than five thousand
copies within the State of Ohio besides many in
adjoining States; and it has published original
munications from one hundred and fifty cores
pondents, nearly all of them practical farmers and

awakened among the farming community, which
is destined to nt and spread till ALL shall feel
its beneficial influence, and the most cheering re.

improvement who among you will refuse to lend
hand in this good work? Who among yon will
deny to yourselves and your families knowledge
of the improvements that are now being made in
the important art of cultvating the SOIL and of the
means ofeevating the character and profession of
the farmers, for the sake of the mere pttance
which it costs to become subscriber for the Ohio
Cultivator?
A portion of each number will be devoted to the
Mechanic Arts-this (as well as other portions)
will be embellished with numerous engraUmgs, by
an Artist specially employed for the purpose, and
will be made instructive to farmers as well as me-
chanics. The interests Of the Ladies will also be
attended to, and department appropriated to their
use; so that all classes, whether in town country
may derive instructions and profit from the pages
of the Ohio Cultyator.

PARODY, ON THESE Song OF THE SHIRT"
With fingers dirty and cold,
With hands all full of cracks.
A young man stood in ragged coat,
Plying his saw and axe.
Saw! saw saw
As by the horse he stood,
And still he raised terrible jaw,
About the burning OF wood

While the wind is blowing around,
And work! work !work!

Along with the barbarous Turk,
Where man has never soul to save,

Work! work work!
My labor never grows less;
And what are its wages? A "fp' day,
And at dinner a cooked-up mess.
That battered hat-this ragged coat
A knife with broken blade [matched

After the lapse OF about SIX weeks,I was attacked
with distressing cough apd violent pain in my
right side. Some ten days after this, when in a
paroxysm of coughing, suddenly an ulcer broke
