THE MANAGERS.
TO THE MANAGERS OF THE
LATE BALL HELD AT ORR
LEYS SALON. YAZOO CITY

From the position you occupied as managers
of the Late Ball you might have been regarded
as Gentlemen but from the indignant and
sighting manner in which you have treated
some Of the Ladies of this place, you mLst be
considered by we'll bred men as destitute Of
any attribute that belongs to the Gentleman or
TO any man who has been raised in decent
society. AN OLD CITIZEN
N. B, Gentlemen always treat Ladies with
the respect that they are entitled to and never
neglect them.
In complying with the request of the
Managers of the "Late Ball, we can with
confidence say,that they are Gar too gallant,
and occupy too high position as gentle
men, to comprmise either, by npgecting,
OF in any way maltreating the ladies-the
dear creatures.

AGRICULTURE is the handspring of socie-
y, the first, the heslhiest, and most indis-
pensable of productive employmen,s. No
people can be great, prosperous and in the
sure way of progress where it Is held in dis
honor. A mark of social advancement is
an ever-increasing degree of consideration
attached 10 the culture of the soil. The
growth of nation depends on the growth
OF It's farming interest, and only as that pros
pers, only as the land is improved, as science
and wealth are applied in unfolding its pro-
duclive resources, and as The farming pro-
fession rises in intelligence and respec-
ability can a nation flourish and the State
gain power and influence.

THE BIBLE AND THE POETS.

Schlegel, speaking Of the poetic portions

flights" ] wish TO show you some of these

pressions are either derived from the Scrip

in their extended and complete deveIope-
meni, uuques,ionab!y in their germ, their
principle and their outline. Frequently
too, this may be said, with equal truth, OF
incidents and characters. This similarity
between Ahab and Macbeth between Jeze
bel and Lady Macbeth, and parallel resem-
blance in their style of action, has always
struck me exceedingly. The portrait o.

blance between The latter is more perfect
Both were filled from the crown 10 the toe

spirit of "pure demoniac frmness," which

lenlings of nature. Their minds were com

progress in evil or embi,ler success; so thai

Ahab evidenced this after his victory over
the Syrians. Benhadad. to whom he had
formerly been vassal, then sent ambassa-
dors to him girded with sackclolh, and with
ropes on their heads, to petition for his life,
and Ahab said, "Is he yet alive he is my
brother )" and "he made a covenant with
him, and sen. him away"

full to the corn (grain) crops; all manures,
to be most useful, should be united or thoro'-
~ mixed with the soil. Broadcast sowing
of it. rather than drilling, would probably
secure more perfect combination of the
manure with the soil. Liquid distribution
is undoubtedly the most perfect method that
can be adopted.
Capt. Baker inquired, why African guanc,
which had SO large per centage of phos-
phste OF lime, did not answer on pasture
land h? lie had tried it on ,urnlps, and it did
remarkably well but on his grass land, it
produced no perceplibIe effect; while Peru
land, as we'll as to the lurnips.
Prof w. answered, that phosphate Of lime
was the proper manure for the turnip, and
this accounts for the success of The African
guano but the absence Of ammonia, which
is necessary fol the grasses, is the reason
why ii is not useful 10 pasture land. The
Peruvian guano has large per centage Of
ammonia, which accounts for its success
when applied 10 grass land.
My sketch Of this lecture is very imper.
lect-only giving the points touched by the
lec'urer-yet shall be disappointed if they
do not impress our farmers with the import
ance of the subject discussed. IL England
can afford to bring from Lake Champlain,
limestone for manure, and use it prof.ably,
what is to preven, our farmers from using
1t on their green crops, turnips, ruta-bagas,
SC? These crops have been among the
main Improvements in English husbandry :;
and although the climate here is better adapt
ed to these crops than ours, still there is
lille difficulty in the N Norlhern States, in OBJ
tanning good crops of these vegetables, and
may not The use of this mineral phosphate,
which, in our own State and in New Jersey,
exists in such large deposits, lead to more
extended culture Of the green crops, and
yield TO our farmers, in the fat,ening of their
stock, large return? !? The great objects
is TO make farming pay, and every expedien,
that will lead 10 this result, should be glad
Iy embraced by our farmers; and, doubtless,
will be, when they are fully satisfied on the

CHAPTER v.

Which points moral and adorns tale by bringing the
history to an abrupt termination.
With superhuman energy, we have kept
up the intense interest of this veracious his
tory, but we are now compelled to "cave in"
and throw ourselves on the tender mercies of
the breathless reader.
We have disposed of our hero and heroine
in the most happy and felicitous manner; we
have carried them triumphantly through their
courtship: married them according to law and
gunter; and bid them good night: we drop
the curtain, and leave their happy future to
be portrayed by the imagination Of the reader
We feel thai, in this veracious history, we
have aimed death-blow at those hungarians
who prowl in the wake of weddings, without
the fear of famine before their all-devouring
eyes.
We have fully shown up the baleful and
disgraceful effects of intemperance, in the
beastly conduct of the venerable Thompson,
who took drop of eye-water too much, and
fell from his high estate.
The hint we have thrown out to lovers with
regard to courtship, we have no doubt will
have the beneficial effect intended, and turn
their thoughts from the thorny by-ways of
prose to the pleasant and flowery pathways
that gracefully meander through poetry and
moonshine, to the inner temple of their hearts
idolatry Altogether we have written no
vel as is novel. Don't you think so?
Pass on, reader pass on-we have done!
