BLACK PEoN.-An old friend Just
from Texas has told us laughablc in
stance OF reonage a gentleman resi-
ding not far from the Rio Grande, in Tex
as, owned sprightly yellow boy called
Simon. The boy had heard good deal
about liberty and equality, and it had fas-
tened itself so indelibly in his mind, that
he thought and dreamed about nothing
but fire. dom At lsst he made tracks TO
the land Of all his blessed visions, MeXi.
co. Simon had been there but short
time. when he found himself in deb, for
small amount, but small as it was, he did
no, possess the change wherewlh TO pay
1t, and he was converted INTO Penn.
He served his new master Tor few
months, and finding his expenditures
greater than his receipts, all his former
dreams OF freedom vanished and he ,eolt
another track One morning the Texan
wasawoke by the cry OF so master O T.!

"Who's there p replied the Texan.
"Slmon.."
"IVhy don't You remain IN Merlco' 1
don't want YOU"
"Great God, massa, ! would much lud-
der lib wild you dan de Mexican"
Simon was permitted TO take up his
old quarters and he has been fa'thfnl
servan, ever since. He has frequently
been heard to say:

vegetation. When either puiverispd
gypsum or charcoal is Incorporated with
Suano, the volatile portions of the latter
are slezcd upon by either OF the former,
ana rendered comparatively fixed, to h-
drawn upon by the roots of The plants as
Their necessities may require nutrition.
Now such is the affinity which sulphurIc
acid, one of the constituent elements Of
of plaster, and ammonia possesses for
each other, that by contact, the sulphurlc
acid in the plaster combines with the ann
MONA, ana forms the sulphate Of ammo
nla-whlle the carbonic acid combines
with the llme-thus double compounds
are folmed, neither of which are volatile
a peck OF plaster will give fxidity to the
ammonia of 100 lbs. Of guano, anda bush-
81 Of finely ground ground charcoal,
would perform the same Office,
We have been asked, "whether the
lining of land diminishes the action of
guano ~ Our answer is, that any con-
TACT between freshly Stacked lime and
guano, would not only drive off any al
ready formed ammonia, but hasten the
formation OF more and drive that off also;
as necessary consequence, very greatly
diminish the action OF guano'' for the
effects OF depriving 1t of the ammonical
salts, would be to abstract from it those
substances which impart to it the greatest
energy as fertilizer of the soil.
Lime which may have been on the
land year, at the application OF guano,
would not injuriously affect its operations
because in that time, the lime would have
reabsorbed carbonic acid and become
mild.
Land, we should think, might be top
dressed with lime that had been some-
time Stacked before its application, the
same year that guano was applied, pro-
vided the guano had been treated to pls-
ter or charcoal previously to its being
plowed in.
On hight sandy soils, unless they are
rich in mould. it is indispensable to the
success OF the application of the guano,
that 1t be mixed with plaster or charcoal
to impart to 1t fixidity, as the access of
heat, air and moisture, TO such porous
soils. accelerate decomposition with tele-
graphic despatch, the silica having no
power OF retention, of itself. On the 9TH
er hand--.lay and clay loan, from afiini-
ty for, and capacity TO condense and re-
tain ammonia, would exert tonserva-
tive power--the effects Of either OF these
would BE- to fasten aud utilize instead OF
Visiting ammonia.
We desire our readers to bear in mind
that all top-dressIngs with guano,
whether followed by narrowing or not,
are wasteful.
The plaster or char GAL should always
be miy-d with guano. and then 1t should
be plowed in. That where plaster or
charcoal may not be obtainab!e, that two
bushels OF clay and one Of salt, iftho-
roughly incorporated with it, will fix the
ammonia in 200 lbs. OF guano, and that
when pIowed into light sands, the roller
should be freely used.

As by the open window,
With pen in hand sit thinking.
And while the brcezrs fan my brow,
And play around my hair,

OF ono who has fairy form
Whose eyes with soul are bright
Whose dark brown hair is braided DER
A brow Of spolless white.
OF one within whose bosom: throbs
A heart ss pure and warm,
As ever the Creator plnced
Within n mortal iurm
Ofnnc-"tut hold !" hear you ask,
Where does this charmer dwell
What is her name i''-Ah no dear Fan,
Her name can not tell.
But if youW on some sunny day
Perp IN II sylvan stream,
You'll see reflected there the form
And face of her mean.-W. z. E.
