THE POOR MAN.

Con grant the poor man constant health,
To toll for daily bread;
He has no earthly wealth,
And must he clothed and fed.
The proud of place will grind his face,
The hard withhold his hire
Greet Parent! heed his piteous case,
And guard his cottage fire.
Thou carest for the little birds
That own no earthly lord
Thou carest for the flocks and herds
That crop the fowery sward-
Hears the young ravens when they cry,
Heed'st the young lions roar,
And wilt reward the poor mans sigh,
And meek petition more.
Then grant the poor man constant health,
And strength for early toll,
With sweet content, the dearest wealth
Of weary mortal moi.
And grant him power to rule his mind,
To own affections sway,
And nurse the charities designed
To smooth his pilgrim way.

A VISIT TO RIVERSDALE.

On the 2lst ulimo, we paid visit 10 Ri
rerSdale, the beautiful estate of the Hon
Charles &. Cazuert, near bladensburg. in
Prince Georges county of this State We
had heard much of the laudabe Industry and
well directed enierprise-much of the econ
omy and skill practiced by him in the I'M
provement Of his arabic lands-much of the
excellence of his fine herd Of Durham cattle,
and, therefore we expected to see much
that would interest our feelings, and pleasu-
rably excite our wonder,-but we are free to
confess that, great as were our expectations,
the reality far, very farexceeded our anlicipa-
tIons,s anguine as they were,-for knowing
Mr.. Z. we'll for reputation which he had
honorably won as all enlightened agriculture
island knowing too, that he had ample
means-thal he possessed every appliance
for carrying on the improvement of his farm.
we expected to find that he had made his
improvements upon the high pressure svs-
tenn. in this, however We were sappoint-
ed, as we found by inspection and inquiry,
that his judgment had determined upon pur-
suing one of different characier-one which
may be termed the golden medlun-one
based on energy-on action,-and whIc!,
looking 10 the natural resources Of his
estate TO furnish the materials for manure,
enabled bin to avoid heavy OUTLAWS in the
purchase Of fertilizers, thereby demonstra-
ting by example, that lands may be i'm

gulshed throughout our country in the best
days of the Republic-that his hospitality
was as elegant as il was generous; that his
bearing was SO unoslentatous, as to make
us almost forget the relation in which we
stood; that we realized that sentiment
which fills the mind SO pleasurabiy, when
man, though among strangers, feels that his
host, in the kindness Of bis nature, is en-
deavorIng TO disembarrass his guest Ia a
word-if we did not mistake Riyersdale
for our own humble home, we had the
evidence abundantly around us to prove,
that we were where we had heart-wel-
come. While we are thus permitting our
pen to trace the impressions made upon
our mind by Mr.. c., it must do willing JUS
tice, also, to his estimable consort, who
stands unsurpassed in those becoming vir-
tues and rare accomplishments which dig
nifty the character of lady, elevate and en-
dear the husband to the wife, and open the
well-springs of love in the heart Of the
child. Long may she continue to preside,

AGRIcULTURE.-Mr. Andrew Stevenson,
once Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, and afterwards Minister to England, in
an address on agriculture in Virginia, said -
'What occupation more full of dignity,
duties more full Of joy, than those which
distinguished the husbandman? When was
it that man ever rose from state of servi-
tude and dependence to proprietorship of
land and lis cultivation, that he did not learn
self-respect and become more elevated in
his own esteem? Then it is tina, an entire
change takes place. Then it is, that brea-
thing no low or ahject spirit, he reaps from
the soil harvest of virlue-the sobriety of
the falher-the economy of the mother
the devoted labor Of the son-,he chastity
of the daughter-these are the fruits of glo-
rious agriculture. And this is my answer
to all who decry it. pity those who know
nothing of, or are incapable of enjoying that
soothing. cheering, and unsurpassing in
huence which agriculture sheds over the
mind and heart of man."
ooh! friendly to the best pursuits of man;
Friendly to thought, to virtue: and to peace,
Domestic life in rural pleasure passed."
MANURE FOR TURNIPs.-The following
mixture will make an excellent compost for
all acre of turnips:
Is double horse. cart loads of mould or
earth,
20 bushels of coal, or Is bushels wood
ashes,
A bushels Of bone dust,
S gallons Of the dregs Of fish oil, or the
same quantity of oil.
The whole tos be we'll mixed together,
and turned over twice al intervals of three
or four days.
Besides ensuring good crop Of turnips,
it will improve the soil sufficiently to bear
a rotation of crops.
In the preparation Of the ground, we
would plough twice-the first time s inches
deep:-alter narrowing, we would broadcast
the compos. evenly, plough it in inches
deep, harrow and cross harrow so as to
render the filth perfectly 6ne,-,hen SOW
the turnip seed, harrow it in gerry lightly
and comp etc the work by rolling the ground.
The after culture we would manage as d.
rected last month.
