in the bewlderng meshes of love, for
Monia was very beautiful.
But the maiden looked with cold eyes
upon The great chieltain and while he
yet wooed. strange, new sound echoed
among the mountains. With eager hoste
and silent wonder. knaulu, with score
of chiefs, began the ascent of The rugged
rocks On and on they bounded, leaping
among the awful chasms, or balancing on
some dizzy height yet ever up and on.
Louder and nearer rang the strange voice,
and now, with clear distinctness, came the
shout Eurek a Eureka"
One moment more, and the savage band

There stood a group OF pale men, in
Spanish garb, from beyond the seas. One

and proud enthusiasm swelling his heart,

ESSAY ON THE CULTIVATION OF
TOBACCO.


General Remarks ON the Culture of To
6acco.-ln the foregoing remarks, ! have
been as brief as possible, and will, in con-
clusion, on this part Of The subject, take &
short review, TO state some OF the advan-
tages to be derived by the system proposed
As labor is of more value, in the tobacco
growing districts, than land, have plopos-
ed to dispense with all The labor possible
to produce good article by no. burning
plan, beds and excluding grass, and there.
by save the labor of picking beds to pre-
pare and plant the field as early as possible
and with as liille labor as can be for tho
propose to plant close, ] would not insist
on every plant standing, as where but one
plan, was absen, in place, it would not be
Of much consequence, and though ] pro-
pose 10 cultivate early, you will find II is
" hen the land is clear of grass; and is the
simpes, mode, and no other mode OF top
ping and succoring, could be less expen-
sive and as to cutting, and housing, II is
the most exped,ious in use, when The la
Dor is nearly finished; but such as can be
performed in inclement weather, and by the
weak force on the farm. There is one
other thing would remark in this connec-
ton, that is, every time you handle tobacco.
it should be with care, but the fewer times
il is handled the better, so the desired OBJ
lec, is obtained, and as propose 10 spend
as lllle labor, and produce as full crop
of fair quality as most other modes, think
il will be considered that thirty dollars per
acre will defray the expenses of production
and preparation for market and as in this
Essay, have to consider the profits of to-
bacco culture, shall put this as the med
um cost Of tobacco, which will be matter
for the consideration of my readers; but
think we ought TO have some sum as a
standard to make our comparison by, and
though ! have had more particular reference
to the culture Of tobacco, in Maryland, the
whole is SO general, that it can be applied
TO any section of country by intelligent
planters, who are conversant with tobacco
culture, with much The same force if
written for their particular location.
As have bu, lille space left, shall have
to proceed to the consideration of the iasl
thing to be considered, that is, our future
course, and as we ought to enter into II
with discretion, based on facts, it will be
we'll to review the tobacco trade in periods
past, and then compare them with the pre-.
sent, and from such facts determine for the
future And to be as plain and shor. as pos
sible. shall here give table Of inspections
at several periods and ports since 1871
and where have not the precise amount

the fractions, or adding the fractions to make

improve; but this not being the case, the
crop that will pay for cultivation aud i'm
provement, and leave the land rich in the
shortest time, is the most profitable crop,
and which, think, is tobacco. ] will give
two experiments, which tried in 1910 and
1871; the frs. was on land that produced
fifteen bushels Of corn; Iapplied three hun
dred bushels Of leached ashes per acre,
which cost, on the land, forty dollars, and
tie cultivation thirty dollars, which was
seventy dollars for improvement and cul'iva-
,ion, and the crop sold for ninety-three dol
lars, leaving ,wenty-,hree dollars rent; the
second rop was on land that W would not have
grown ten bushels Of corn per acre; it had
the same quantity Of ashes, and the crop
sold for eigh,y-four dollars per acre, which
left for zen. fourteen dollars these may be
sald to be extra crops, and | would say
they were extra profits, bu, any good soled
land which will produce ten bushels Of corn,
may be manured at the expense of twenty
dollars, and will produce fifty dollars worth
of tobacco; and there are but few crops
that will pay an outlay Of twenty dollars in
one crop, on poor land. As have written
more than many will be willing to read, !
shall not proceed any further, but submit
these common p ace remarks, hoping, that
if | should no. have written to profit may
induce some more able hand to SO illustrate
and define the interests Of planters, on the
subject, lhatwe may all beguidedby wisdom,
to that perfection in the cultivation Of the
soil, ,i,a. give the most improvement and
profitable crops, lha. wealth and happiness
may attend industry and frugality.

peace when idle tongues are dealing with
his fair name. If wise, however he will do
so, and let lie die natural death, instead
of gaIvaniziug it into life by the battery of

THE ELEPHANT AND THE CAMEL.-Ele-

When the camel scents the elephant it stops
still, trembles in all its limbs, and utters an
uninterrupted cry Of terror and alright. No
persuasion, no blows, can induce it to rise;
it moves its head back wards and forwards,
and its whole frame is shaken with mortal
anguish. The elephant, on the contrary,
as soon as he perceives the camel, elevates
his trunk, stamps with his feet, and with his
trunk thrown backwards, snoring with a
noise like the sound Of trumpet, he rush.
