Agricultural Arionas. In no de,

no farmer can be accounted skiIlful

, himself of the information to be de-
rived from the experience of others,
and who does not improve his
know ledge of husbaudry, by the
perusal of the abIest works which
have been written on that subject

munication of knowledge which has
promoted the advancement of every
other art, should be of no use il ae.

Endeavor to raise good grain, for
1t will always sell, even in years of
plenty whereas, it is only in dear
and scarce seasons that there is a
demand for grain of an inferior quail

Let your stock of cattle, horses,

MONUMENTS.

MONUMENTS.
Not in cemeteries only
Are the records ofthe dead;
All around our hearth stone lonely
May their epitaphs be read.
Every household showeth traces
Sacred TO departed love;
And each band Of kindred faces
Hath an absent one above.
Not heart but hath some corner
Darkened by the cypress shade,
w here Affection SITS a mourner,
By the waste that death has made.
Not an eye but frequent turneth
Upward to the iewelrd sky,
To some flashing gem that burneth
With a new born brilliancy.
Polished slabs and granite solemn
May heroic deeds enroll
But the only lasting column
Rises quarried from the soul.
From the soul, where fondly lnger
Shadows of the lovely flown;
Where no sacrilegious finger
Stains the monumental stone.
Marble words alone can never
Immortality impart;
But Loves records live forever
Deeply sculptared on the heart.
Let no impious TIE Deum
Celebrate the spirits praise,
Nor the chiselled mausoleum,
With its lapidary lays.
Love shall claim the holy duty,
Watching with her angel tread,
Tinging with immortal beauty
All the relics of the dead.
