showed me over his fine barn, treble decker,
with root vaults, stabllng, &C., exhibiting
with his own hands, the operations of his
different labor saving machines, and you can
judge of my establishment, when he Jumped
over the fence and showed where the differ
ent varieties of Wheat were seeded to the
very line. His farm is in splendid condi-
lion, and it would puzzle any man, with
perfect vision to equal him.
Mr.. Editor, could fill your next number

this neighborhood, all going to prove in the
most satisfactory manner, the system recon-

From the American Farmer.
WORK FOR JULY IN THE GARDEN.

Ca66ages.-Hoe up your cabbages and be
careful to keep the bed clean of weeds, and
The earth open, SO that every advantage Of
rain, sun, and air may be derived by them.
If the weather should be long dry, use your
watering pot freely.
Cabbage Pzants.-Seize the first oppor-
tunlty to set out your plants intended for
late cabbages. In preparing the bed, manure
freely with good strong manure, dig it in a
spade deep, then rake until the earth is per-
eclly reduced. Then avail yourself of the
first rain and put in your plants. To pro-
tect them from the cut-worm, mix two
quarts of SCOT and quarter pound of flour of
sui phur together, reduce the mass into the
consistence of paste, by gradually adding
warm water to it. When this is cool, dip
the roots of each plant in it as you set ii
out, taking care to dip the plant up to the
lower leaves. This will not only be Sc
curity against the cut-worm but will ensure
a vigorous start TO the plant.
Melons, Cucumbers, Squashes, Sc-The
beds in which these are planted should a,
all times be kept clean; SO that when they
are laid by, there may be probability thai
the shade of the vines will keep down weeds
and grass.
During times of drought, they should be
literally watered, as moisture is indispensi-
| bic to secure their bearing we'll.
Peas and Beans.-lf you have shady
bed in your garden you may set out a few
rows of peas and beans for late USE
Fall Pickles.-Prepare bed and plant
| few hills of melons and cantaloupes fol
pickles and mangoes-very few hills viii
answer for your family.
CauIAoscers.-Set out your caulIaowe
plants, If you have any-~though late, it i:
still time enough for them to flower.
Celery.-Set out bed of celery plants.
Radishes, Lettuce, and small Sazadine
walls of a week apart during all this month
Leeks, Shazzots, and Shires.- These
should now be transplanted.
Young Fruit 7rees-If you have any
young fruit trees that were planted out OF
grated last season, have all the shoots from
the stocks rubbed off, as these will rob the
gratis of the nourishnent they stand in
need of.
Cherries, Plums, and .Apricots should be
budded this month For the operation Sc
lecl cloudy moist days.
Pears.-This is the proper time for bud
ding pears.
Beets, Parsnips, Carrots.-Have your
beds in which these are planted, well hoed.
so as to destroy weeds and loosen the earth,
but do not hill up to the roots.
Peppers.-Weed out these; hoe the
earth so as to leave it in condition to
drink in the dews and rain.
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1847-07-15

Tomatoes and Egg Pzants.-See that
these are kept clean of weeds.
Horse Radish-Give your bed of horse
radish through hoeing between the rows.
Flowers generally. - Keep the weeds
down, and see that the watering pot is free
Iy used every second evening during the
periods Of drought.
Dahzias.-Keep the earth stirred around
these, and in dry weather have them water
ed copiously. Once week during this
month, use soap suds instead of pure water.
From experience in their culture we can
say that there is nothing better calculated
to impart to them vigorous growth and
full bloom.

A NEW SONG.
By MRS. CRAWFORD.

By MRS. CRAWFORD.
Oh bring me back the roses of youth,
Fond Mem'ry to bloom at thy shrine -
Those flowers of affection and truth,
That still brethe an odor divine.
Restore me the home-hearth so gay
The loved and lost ones restore;
Though their spirits have long passed away,
Let me view them in fancy snce more.
Oh! bring back the roses of youth!
Let me see the sweet visions repass,
Of all I've lamented in vain;
Let them live in thy magical glass,
Let me hear their loved voices again:
In the shadows of eve let me rove,
Where the brave and the beautiful met,
To weep Ger the ruins of love,
In the bowers can never forget.
Oh! bring back the roses of youth!

COMEDY OF ERRORS
A London police reporter represents

her lawful lord arrived and discovered the

PARAPHRAsE.-The popular melody of
"Dance, boatman, dance-dance all night
till broad daylight and go home with the
girls in the morning." is thus rendered into
prose:
"Mingle in the mazes of the dance, thou
knight Of the oar, while the resplendent lu-
mnary of the day has Withdrawn his Ing ut
from the earth, till bright Aurora gids the
eastern sky with golden light, and then with
thy characteristic gallantry accompany the.
fair and unsophisticated participants of thy
pleasures to their parental mansions"

four days on jury, says he is SO full of
law that it's hard for him to keep from cheat

And grasp as need for all thy pain,

Around thy path the perils vast.

From Vigorous youth to hoary age,
A strife.

Ihave loved thee-deeply loved thee,
For long years have borne thy sway.
In all seasons thou hast proved me;
known the heart thou'st cast away.
Gone s the light that shone around thee,
Emptied is the bitter bowl,
Broken are the chains that bound me,
Snapped the links that held the soul.
Once thy slightest glance would move me,
Thrill the blood in every vein.
And I've thought that could love thee,
Doomed to. everlasting pain.
Now the pride that is within me
Dims the lustre Of thy eye.
And if that sigh would win thee,
Calm, unmoved, I'd pass thee by.
Did'st thou think that would WOO thee
Bending humbly at thy feet?
Scorned to day-to-morrow sue thee,
And again my vows repeat.
am proud-of naughty spirit,
Would brook no rival in thy love.
Did'st thou think that would share it,
With all that around thee move
have loved thee-deeply loved thee
But the dream is past and fled.
The emotions which once moved me,
Are now NUMBERED with the dead.
Fare thee well then, and if ever,
In life we perchance should meet,
Twill be in your power-never,
Again to cause my heart to beat. D.
