BENEFITS OF Professor Norton
thus describes the benefits of draining wet lands
an operation too much neglected among us:--
"When drain is made and covered, flor
mean here covered drains, the water which falls
upon the ground does not remain to staguate, and
does not run away over the surface, washing off
the best Of the SOIL but sinks gradually down,
yielding to the plants any fertililng matterwhich
it may contain, and often washing out some hurt
full substances; as it descends air, and eonse-
quently warmth, follow it. Under these new in
huences the proper decompositions and prepa-
ration of compounds fit for the sustenance of
plants go on, the soil is warm and sufficiently
dry, and plants flourish which formerly never
would grow on it to perfection, if at ali. It is
curious fact, too, that such soils, resist drought
better than ever before. The reason is, that the
plants are able to send their roots much farther
down then in search of food, without ever finding
any thing hurtful. Every part being penetra-
ted with air, and consequently dryer and lighter,
these soils do not bake in summer, but remain
mellow and porous Such effects cannot, in
their full extent, be looked for in stiff clay, du-
ring the season; the change must be gradual, but
it is sure"
Camden journal. [volume] (Camden, South-Carolina) 1852-1852, 1852-04-23

The work can be done by the planters along
the river and not by northern contractors or EN-
igrant laborers. It will not require the outlay
OF dollar, or employment Of man beyond tho
limits of the State.
On looking round for objections, but two pre-.
sent themselves. 1t may interfere with the nav,
igation of the river, which is so slight now that
river navigation is nearly abandoned, that no op,
poser W. uld resort to that plea. The other, it
would interfere with individual boundaries, and,
might cause confusion. There is some weight
in this, but second reflection blows it to the
winds; for where is the man who would object
to having the value of his property increased five
hundred ercent? Ifsuch an one can be found
we would esteem him brilliant specimen of the
modern eccentric.
The great interest of South Carolina to which
all others arc at present merely subordinate, is
the planting interest {; that is the head spring,
the main fountain of our strength {; and here, it
may be, we have committed an error in having
planted too much, and pursued it to the exclusion
Of other callings To trade and commerce, to
ships and steamboats,, to banks, railroads, turn
pixies and lately to plank roads, we have not
been inert; and in politics, State and national
entirely too much time and talent have been ex-
pended, which has had the effect to put us ahead
in politics and behind in almost every thing
else, but especially in domestic industry and en-
terprise, in which we humbly confess that other
and apparently less favored portions of our coun-
try have gained the advance on us. We have
lived too easy in the past for cur present or flu
ture good we have not used our birth-right to
the greatest advantage, and have most unwisely
sighted the gifts of nature. Other quarters Of
the country have raised our food forus, when we
could as we'll have raised it ourselves, while our
raw cotton has been sent off to enrich old and
new England and other sections, many of whom
we see now only as foes instead Of friends
In the retrospect there is but little to latter or
console us !; the present only is ours, and may
the future historian, in making true record,
have it to say, that in the beginning Of the Sc
cond half of the nineteenth century, the sunny
South was born again, her people became prac-
tical, they were struck with new views, and
learnt their duty, and like enlightened men they
done it, the result of which was they prospered
and went on to prosper, had plenty Of earths
good things and were happy ~

The UNaRArEFuL SoN.-"The eye that mock
eth at his father, the ravens Of the valley shall
pick it out" Prov. 80, II. This Is aterrible
denunciation against ingratitude to parents, and
even in the present day is sometimes virtually
fulfilled,
"Some years ago, an Irish gentleman, who
was an extensive contractor on our public works,
was reduced to poverty by the proAigacy and
dishonesty Of an ungrateful son. The old man
lost his wife, and to add to his calamity, his
health failed; and, to fll the cnp Of his sorrow,
he lost his sight. Thus, poor, friendless, blind
and forsaken, he found an asylum in the Franklin
county alms-house, Pennsylvania a
aWhile an inmate of this refuge for the Attic
ted his wicked and ungrateful son travelled that
way; he was informed of his fathers situation,
and that his parent wished to see him; and al
though he passed within two hundred yards of
the alms-house, he refused to stop and see the
kind father he had ruined. Now mark the re-
suit. The very day he passed the alms-house
on his way to Gettysburg, in an open carriage,
he was overtaken by storm and took severe
cold which resulted in the destruction of eyes.
He lay in Gettysburg in critical situation un-
til his funds were exhausted, and those who had
him in charge took him to the Franklin county
aims house.
1.-THE very day he was brought in, his father,
having died the day before, was carried out
He was put in the same room, and occupied the
same bed, and in short time followed his neg
lected and heart-broken father to the judgement
seat of Christ 1t is a fearful thing to fall into
the hands of an angry God.

MARKS OF THE GENTLEMAN.-No man is a
gentleman who, without provocation, would treat
with ipciviEy the humblest of his species. 1t is
vulgarity for which no accomplishments of dress
or address can ever atone. Show me the man
who desires to make every one happy around
him, and whose greatest solicitude is never to
give just cause of offence to any one, and will
show you gentleman by nature and by
practice, though he may never have worn suit
Of broadcloth, nor even heard of a lexicon.
am proud to say for the honor Of our species,
there are men, in every throb of whose heart
there is a soIcitude for the welfare Of mankind,
and WHOSE every breath is perfumed with kind

EARLY RIs1Se.-Happy the man who is an
early riser. Every morning day comes to him
with virgin love, full Of bloom, and purity, and
freshness. The joy of nature is contagious,
like the gladness Of happy child. doubt if
any man can be called "old," so long as he is an
early riser and an early walker. And a youth!
take my word for ia youth in dressing
grown and slippers, dawling over breakfast at
noon, is very decrepid, ghastly image of that
youth which sees the sun blush over the noun

Where is the ShOyel2

Nathan, where Is the shovel! Here I've
been hunting long enough to do my work twice
over, and can't find the shovel"
The farmer was wroth.
"Idon't know where it's father; summers about
suppose
The two Joined in the search.
Nathan, you have left the shovel where You
have worked, know. Why don't you always
put the tools in their places3"
"Where is the place for the shovel, should
like to know, father!"
He could't tell Ithad noplace. Sometimes
it was laid in the wagon, and occasionally ac-
companied that vehicle when haIessed in a
hurry. Sometimes it was hung up with the har-
ness, to fall down when not wanted, or get COW
cred up where it was. A great deal of shoe
leather had come to naught by that shovel
1t had at times more than the obliviousness of
Sir John Franklin, and deied discovery. So it
Yves with all the other tools. They would seem
to vanish at times, and then come to light rusty
as old anchors.
The farmers barn was crowded. He had no
"spare room" there. There we're several in his
dwelling But the barn was always crammcd
it was kind of mammoth sausage-stuffed
every year. So there was no room for special
apartment for the tools. In his imagination he
never saw his hoes hung on long cleat, his
chains all regular in row, his rakes and his long
forks overhead; certainly he was never anxious
for such convenient room.
Why!
His father never had tool-house, and his father
was called good farmer.
So he was, then-in his day-but there are
better husbandmen now, let me say and desire
to shock no ones vcneration.
Did they find the shovell No! they might as
we'll have searched for the philosophers stone,
seemingly. Nathan started for Mr.. Goodmans
to borrow one. Their work must be done, and
borrow he must.
Il don't know as you can find one in my tool
house." replied Mr.. Goodman.
Nathan noticed that he bore down on some OF
his words like a man on plow beam. Didn't ne
mean something! Nathan went to the tool-room
thoughtfully. A door on wheels opened with
slight push,and there was Goodman's tools
enough Nathan thought to equip company OF
Sappers and Miners! Hatchets, axes, saws, tree
scrapers, grating tools, hoes, diggers, shovels'
spades pick axes, crow-bars plows, harrows, cul-
tvators, seed-sowers, selves, trowes, rakes pitch
forks, fails, chains, yokes, muzzles, crowtwine,
baskets, measures.-all were there, neatly and
compactly arranged. 1t was Goodman's ark
to save him from tho deluge of unthrift! Here
every night the tools we're brought in and wiped
clean and hung up in their places. The next
morning a job could be commenced at once
Goodman knew. He partitioned off large
room in his new barn for tools. 1t was central
and easy Of access. 1t was pleasant place fol
visitor; the tools were the best Of their kind
Every new shovel or rake, or fork, before used
was we'll oiled with linseed oil, which left the
wood smooth and imPervions to water. Good
man frequently says, II had rather have the few
hundred dollars have spent for tools so invested
than the Same in railroad stock. 1t pays bet
ter"

To a Violet growing on Grave.


Meek, lovely, unobtrusive flower,
Why art thou doom'd to those daIk shades !!
Could earth afford no fairer flower,
Than that the gloomy cypress spreads!
And fragrant violet, must thou bloom
And waste on Death thy sweet perfume
Here breathe thy loveliness away
Der reckless dust, and cold decay?
How Oft its difidence like thee
A violet in obseurity!
A flower that blossoms in the shade,
Unknown, unnoticed, there to fade!
All! have felt thy hapless doom
In travelling to the lonely tomb;
But-I'll not pluck thee, lovely flower,
Though gloomy be thy cypress bower:
Shortly to live-or rather die
The gaze of Admiration's eye.
= This shade, SO mournful unto me,
To thee, thy fav'rite one may be,
For how knowI what sacred ties
May bind thee to this native scene,
Of mortal dust that meath thee lies.
CihoPo uhoo hoos Potuoh oCShJ
Thou vert perhaps, Violet vein,
Where life's warm blood was want to flow;
As such, hast throbbei along the | | in,
And rushed to meet thy country's foe;
Or gently heavd in placid breast,
Or burned where inspiration blest,
Oro'er the brow Of beauty strsyed,
Or in a lovers bosom played.
My fancy does in thee descry,
Tie azure Of dark blue eye,
A substance which could once absorb,
ln6nity within its orb.
Grasp space, and heaven and earth survey.
And scenes forever passed away;
A substance which, perchance, has been
A gazer on this lovely scene.
This scene, this very spot mightbe
The haunt of thy mortality,
And thou perhaps didst fondly choose
This Oft, the bed of thy repose.
Then unmolested, lovely flower,
I'll leave thee in thy cypress bower;
With kindred atoms still! remain,
And "dust to dust" compound again.

Mas. GAINES CAsE.-The u. S. Supreme
Court, which recommended its session in Wash
ington last week, it is stated has refused a re-
hearing to Mrs. Gaines, widow Of Gen. Gaines,
by vote of to 2. This we suppose ends the
chapter. Had her claims been sustained, she
would have been probably the wealthiest person
in the United States. There have been times,
during the progress of the suit when, it IS said
she might have compromised for half mil
lion of dollars.
