For the Burlington Hawk-Eye.
LIB e RTAD:

cANrol.
The call to arms had swept DER hill and vale,
The Nation answering. echoed back the cry;
I" To arms" responded every passing gale,-
And reedy Mystic's sea-ward glens reply:
The patriot shout, Sc shall be free or die,"
And marshaing hosts prolong the fitful roar,
AS down the sleeps and mountain sides they fly,
And northward steer along the craggy shore;
To gain bald Bunker's height by morn sleep
no more.
As morning dawn'd upon that misty hill,
Fair freedoms banner stream'd upon the air,
And Prescott there with nice-discerning skill;
Assigns their tasks and does their labors share,
Uprears the mound, and trails with studious care,
The syring fosse, around the rocky steepi
Till soon the sun, arose with lurid glare;
And with its splendors, fush'd the rolling deep,
Shaking from Cages eyes, the soothing dews of
Our nag was seen, above that rampant wall,
Stream like white sail on Egea's shore;
The foe in jeers, unite their comrades call;
To hail that s signal with the commons roar"
And at the word the dreadful spoiler bore
Its wrathfu greetings to the marble hill,
Rous'd to deepest ire were Prescotts corps
AS those dread sounds pass'd up by Charles rill
Sounds which fright the weak, the brave with plea
sure fill.
But ali the cannon wastes it nitrous breath,
And pours its stormy threats alike in vain,
Far in the distance fall the globes Of death,
Or wildly bounding, hiss along the plain -
Safe Prescotts bands within their walls remain
There urge their tasks, nor heed Brittanias fires
Which roll dark clouds Of smoke around the main,
Or mantling upwards, shroud the city's spires
As mists which hang upon soms mountain chain,
Tho oft beneath hideous torrent foams amain.
Beneath those clouds Brittania's thunder lay,
Like some volcano on a sea-nurs'd isle,
Oerwrap'd with mists, while in its precincts play
The browsing flock, or peasants fearless toll:
So Prescotps bands, their arduous labors piled
Nor reck'd the wrath of Brttain's fierce turmoil,
Tho furious thunders seattle the mountain side;
But push their task-nor halt till it is fortified.
But ere the sun, had won his midday throne
Bootless Brittania hurls her thunders by;
No longer now earth shaking ordinance groain
Nor far-oI. hills to their deep voice reply,
Bat see that martial host which crowd the strand
In FLASHING scows DER Charles Neck they fly
Debarking now, upon the other shore they stand,
Why halt they there. They wait for Howe's vetran
band. NUSA.

ADAMS. -..s.
Aye! let the bells ring out
And the bonfires brightly glare,
And the rolling drum and the trumpets note,
And the thunder from the lannon's throat
Peal loud through the air;
Our nation,s birth day to proclaim,
in memory Of ocr fathers fame!
Let the flag be reared on high,
With its starry field Of blue,
That yet has wayeL o'er land and sea,
In the battle and IL victory,
Since first its eagle few,
lowering above the fearful strife,
When liberty was won with life.
Spread too the festive board,
And let all around unite,
Hand pledged to hand and heart to heart,
That in wea, or woe they win never part
From their cosssss's sacred right;
Let them vow by cur fathers blood
TO stand for her as erst they stood.
Let the fervent prayer arise
From the altar and the hearth,
To the God to sn,scrn our fathers prayed,
Who upheld them sith His powerful aid,
And gave them a EsIae on earth;
That He will still, with autstretched hand,
Protect our loved, our native land.
From the city's stately roof,
From the ancient forests shade,
From the shores .lss. ssse mighty ocean laves,
The rivers side and the lakes bright waves,
And each sunny plain and glade,
Let nations voice of gladness rise
Like holy incense to the skies.
May our children hail the day,
And their sons through years afar,
StiA welcome its dawn as jubilee,
AS the birthday Of the brave and free.
With the minstrelsy of war,
Our fathers worth aloud proclaim,
And pledge tho memory of their fame.

Thomas F. .NarshaN.-Has taken the
stump in favor of emancipation in Kentuc-
XIV. He came in contact short time since
with pro-slavery clergyman, named John
L. Walter, who said in a speech that he
did not desire any change in the moral and
intellectual condition Of Kentucky. Mar
shall replied that he did not doubt the Rev.
gentleman's sincerity, for if he had desir-
ed an improvement in the morals of his
citizens, he would not have left the
pulpit to become pro-slavery, political
candidate and if the intellectual condition
Of the people were improved, they would
no longer tolerate such minister as he.

The Emperor of Russia has ordered
the Germans to leave Jutland. This looks
very much like espousisg the cause OF
Denmark, and possibly bringing that ma
ton into the league of despots. Repnbli-
canism in Europe must stand up from cir
conference to centre, or it will be put
down. The menace is already implied
if not direct. Russia seeks to be the ar.
bitter of the fate of Europe. o! that she
might fail, blasted in her merciless adven-
ture.

The True Ground. The Alexandra
Gazette thus wisely remarks:

Iazeue thus wisely remarks:
j We are much pleased at the manner in
which Mr. Benton and his late demonstra-
tons have been received by the Wing
press Of the country, generally. There
is no attempt to propitiate, concilate, or
yield 10 him, in any quarter |; and no APP,
pearance Of counting his aid or desiring
his alliance. Mr. Benton has his own ends
and aims--let him pursue them. There
is nothing in his past public course, and,
we may add, nothing in lis present posi-
ton, which eniitle him TO the sympathies
or consideration Of the Wing party. We
repeat, that whenever he does right we
are prepared to applaud his action but
not one step farther. His dogma;ism,
conceit, and arrogance, are not passports
to the favor Of the Wing party--nor. will
his present overtures to and qrasi defence
Of the Wilmot Proviso and his Free Soil
allies, contribute towards that end.

GREELy DRAMA11zED.-we copy the
following from the New York Cores pom
dence, of the Washington Union. 1t is
LAcu formerly OF Tie II. Y. True. Sun:
Burton has dTmnatized ncighbor Gree
ly and shows him up nightly to overflow
ing houses. MrFourrier Gris!ey, long,
white over coated, short painted, dirty boo
ted, old broad-brim hated, white eye
browed, bald headed, lank, midale-ased
gentleman is introduced! as Mr. Grisley.--
He breaches Fourrierism to a convivial
party Of gentlemen, two of whom fall
asleep over their wine, and what follows
purports to be the dream of one of them.
Mr. Grislev is elected President; gets a
law passed carrying cut Fourrier's doc
trine, aud the gradual decay of estates and
the State, under law forcing man to
have his teeth pulled because dentist has
"a right to labor {the tooth being sound;)
abolishing the use Of money, and reducing
business to the exchange Of commodities ;
buying 'hippers AID two dozen fried,
paying in ea,herbed, and getting for
change cradle and straw for that-the
purchaser being bachelor. Greedy is
done to the life by Brougham. His pecu-
liarities and follies are carricatured to the
life, though the piece conveys no insul. to
him. 1t will make fortune Cor Burton,
being sure to have a run hardly second to
that Of Brougham's Dsmbey and Son. As
played here, this piece is probably Dor
rowcp from the french by this clever
actor and dramatist, Brongham, who has
snapped some well known French Four
lite for Greedy. If Horace has seen it, tei
to one, like the little girl in The nursery
boob after the pedlar had cut her petit
coats all round about, he felt like boiling
home TO see il his iaIa dog new him-fos
Brougham's imrerscnation ofhis peculiar
tiles Of dress, manner, conversation, walk
| &c., are so s;iking as almost to deceive
one into the momenary idea that the illus.
trious philosopher himself, rather than {
; waggish counterfeit of an Irishman was
indeed, on the stage"

Aurisultural Affairs.

STIRRING THE EAR1H.-In frequently
stirring the earth, there are several and
important advantages. Itloosens the soil,
and makes it permeable to the roots Of
plants. 1t finely pulperizes the soil re.
ducing the sods and clods, and mixes the
different kind or layers OF soil turned up
by the plough together, ard mixes the ma
nure finely with the soil. We have plough
ed greens ward for immediate sowing with
fine seeds, and by manuring, and the fire.
qucnt use of the harrow and cultivator,
we have made it Of fine filth, and well
adapted to tender plants, like old, mellow
soil.
By stirring the soil often, so as to pre-
sent new surface to the air, it becomes en-
riched by elements imbibed from the at
mosphere. But ii the earth is allowed to
rest, crust is formed at the top, and no
Improvement, Of consequence takes place
in this way. Hence, in ploughing or cul-
tivating land often, in order to kill witch
or couch grass, sorrel, or other noxious
plants, the soil becomes improved by the
means used to eradicate the weeds with
which it is infested so that the whole la
Dor is not spent merely to destroy the
cumberers of the ground. The soil that
is turned up in deep plcughing, or that
works up moderately in subsoil ploughing,
becomes greatly improved on exposure to
the atmosphere, and frequent stirring.
By stirring the soil, weeds are destroy
ed in their tender age, before they become
large, to rob the plants of nutriment, or
require a great deal Of labor to destroy
them. If the farmer can keep ahead Of
his work so as to stir his tillage lands Of
ten, Just as the weeds have started, he
will save great deal of labor, besides
gaining an advantage in having his land in
the best condition in other respects for a
good crop. Some writer says, in regardto
manuring, "Feed your crop, and your crop
will feed YOU" and it may, with equal pro-
priety, be said, Protect your crop against
the weeds, and your crop will protect you
against want.
Frequent stirring the soil is the cheap
est and most effectual protection of crops
against drought. The soil that is often
stirred, in dry time is moist almost TO
the surface, while that which is neglected
or lands in grass or small grains, which
do not admit of this operation, are dry to
a great depth and this is one reason why
wheat sowed in drills, and cultivated as
other crops sowed nthe same way, yields
more than that which is sowed broadcast.
AT another time, we may make further re-
marks on this subject.
Every good cultivator is aware Of the
important advantages in stirring the soil
often, and he prac,ises on this principle
with excellent success. Let those who
havo any doubts on the subject, select a
par. Of 4 lot, give II extra cn't=--, anu
mark the RESULT N. E. Far.

The New York Express says that an
Association Of gentlemen of that city are
about to open new route to the Pacific,
having procured a grant Of the right of
way from the Atlantic to the Pacific
oceans, through Nicaragua. The grant
gives exclusive privileges for forty years.
1t is the intention of the association,
among whom are some large capitalists, at
once to establish a route for passengers
and freight from one ocean to the other, by
the river San Juan, Lake Nicaragua, SC.
| A steamboat is at once to be sent down to
navigate the San Juan river and Lake
Nicaragua to Granada, and from thence to
Realijo line Of coaches and wagons is to
be put on. The road between these two
| points is good and the distance from eighty
to ninety miles. This route possesses
great advantages in two particulars: first,
in having two good harbors, the one at San
Juan de Nicaragua, and the other at Reali-
| 10, each capable Of admitting ships OF any
size second, the distance to California is
shortened about one thousand miles.
The Express says that the undertaking
is to be commenced Immediately, and that
at the head of the enterprise is the Steam
boat Commodore and capitalist Cornelius
| Vanderbilt,

The Missouri; Statesman ofthe 9th inst. =,
published at Columbia, in this State, gives
the following account of person who
was supposed to have died with the chol-
era, coming near being buried alive!
"Mr Alexander Graver, stage driver
on the line from Columbia to Rocheport,
had severe attack Of cholera in the latter
place, during last week. Seeming 10
battle all medical skill, the disease was
given up for a time to do its work--indeed
the conviction was general among physi-
clans, nurses and friends that Mr. Graver
was dead. Preparations were therefore
made for his burial-his grave was dug,
and his coffin was in progress of being
made by the undertaken. Soon however
signs Of life were discovered! DR. Buster,
determined to do all in his power, and not
to abandon him even TO the last, applied an
outward application Of mustard and brandy
to his breast, and the pulse returned
symptoms of lie appeared! AT last ac-
counts Mr. Graver was fast recovering"

Total,

II will be seen, that the total number Of
deaths for nearly two months is fourteen
hundred and eishty-seven of which seven
hundred and twenty-six died of cholera.
There is much speculation upon the
probable effect Of the recent inunaation
upon the health Of the city, particularly in
the ensuing fall. Upon this subject we
will let the editor of the Journal speak !:
'sThe question is asked from every
quarter, what influence will this overflow
exert upon the health of this city? In
1916. when the inundation was almost
equal TO the present, the health OF
New Orleans, according to the testimo-
nv of the oldest inhabitants, was remarka-
bly, good, being but few cases Of serious
sickness, and not trace Of yellow fever.
Although the limits of the town were
much more contr acted then than now, yet
but little was done to guard against, or
counteract the effects Of the inundation.-
The fact, although highly encouraging,
should not lead the authorities" to relax
their efforts in cleansing This great Augean
stable, so long the receptacle of fGtid de-
posiIS, " Oosi pun yhlS """A e@"" -
etable matter. As we have no great faith
in the so-called influence Of malaria (the
result of about ten years observation in
this city, upon human health, we are in
clined TO believe that the health Of the city
will not be seriously endangered by the
overflow. If chloride Of lime, or some
other powerful disinfectant, or absorbent
be freely used in the district overlooked
we shall enjoy, perhaps more than on'
usual exemption from sickness, notwith.
standing the predictions to the contrary Of
alarmsts and miasmatists. But it is idle
to speculate on subject, about which SC
great a diversity Of opinion has been ex.
pressed; time will solve the problem, and
let us not therefore anticipate the ills and
misfor,unes Of life, but wait, with calm re-
signation (doing in the interval every
thing in our power to avert disease, I'M
til the moment arrives when we shall be
called on to act our part.-N. o. Bulletin,

How TO RESovArE OLD APPLE TREES.
An experiment was performed upon
three trees standing in my grounds, none
of which were less than thirty years old.
One of these trees, an old fashioned New
tony Pippin, and great favorite, had
borne moderately; the other two about a
dozen apples IA year.
last summer undertook the renovation
Of these trees. For this purpose l open
ed between them trenches, say ten feet in
length, two feet in depth, and about eight
feet equi-distant from tree to tree. The
roots which were encountered in this
operation, were of course cut off, the
trenches filled well with rotted manure
and closed. l finished by giving each Of
the trees about peck CT charcoal mixed
with the same quantity of ashes, and now
for the result have this year gathered
from the ''two ontcasts" Just mentioned
instead of my annual dividend of a dozen
apples, from six to eight bushels apiece of
Of as handsome fruit as you ever saw,
with about the same proportion from the
third, which has always been a moderate
bearer. H. w. ROCKWELL.

Locusrs.-The Beaver (Pa.) Argus
has the following in relation to Locusts :
The ssserentcen year locusts" arc swarm

their mournful melody. They made their
appearance in this region in 1915, in 1882,
and now in discriminating at each
period in number in proportion to the
clearing up of timbered sections. Some
papers speak Of their ravages upon grow
ing grain and vegetables generally; bnt
this is held to be a mistake. Those who
have studied their natural history asser!
that they pass through their brief exist
ence without drawing nourishment from
any substance, living upon their own fatty
matter until they have accomplished the
object Of their mission, in depositing the
eggs for the next generation. In this act
they bore into fruit and ornamental trees,
killing small branches, which is the extent
Of their work of destruction. &c..
