From the American Farmer, for March.
WORK FOR THE MONTH.

Presuming that our readers have, by this
time, not only arranged their systems of
culture for The season, but lha, thev have
been we'll considered before adoption, we
should proceed to point out such mat
,ers as should claim attention during the
month. Blu, before we do So, we will ex-
press the hope that none may have marked
out breadth Of acres for spring culture,
whose dimensions are so large as TO forbid
the possibility of rendering justice 10 their
several crops. And now for The work
On THE FARM.
Oats As in many of The States in which
our ournal circulales, the time has arrived
for seeding oars, we shall, in the frs, place,
refer to our remarks Of last month, upon the
subject Of ihe appropriate manures for this
crop; and, secondly. observe, that, as The time
of sowing must be governed by location,
there can be no such thing as prescribing a
particular day, as what might be too early
in one State, would be lale in another, or
even in different parts of the same Safe
As general rule, it may, however, be laid
down, as beyond all question, that The earl y

fact, we recommend TO all, to seed their oats,
so soon as the fosl is out of the ground,
and the land may be in condition TO be
ploughed without detriment, and pu! in first
rate order; for we hold i, TO be truth,
which none can gainsay, that no crop should
be committed 10 the earth unless the soil
has been deeply, thoroughly, and nicely
prepared. Rough culture is mark Of bar
batism, tina. never did, and never will, find
favor in our faith for our belief is, that ihal

From the State Capitol Gazette.
ON USURY.

The new Constitution, Article ill.,, Section
49 says: ''That the rate of interest in this
State shall no, exceed six per cent. per an
mum, and no higher rate shall be taken or
demanded, and the Legislature shall provide,
by law, ell necessary lorfei'ures and penal
ties sgains, usury." We publish, to-day,
from the pen Of dsting ngui.hed Democra.
Of this State, letter on the subjec, Of usury.
addressed 10 Gen. THOMAS F. Bowie, q
member of the Constitutional Convention,
on whose motion the provision above quoted
was introduced. There is no duty imposed
upon the Legislature which so urgently de-
mands their attention. All former legisla-
ton upon this subject has proved an inef-
fcien, protection agains. this much denouuc-
ed and nefarious crime. Government has
given to money all the value j, possesses
1t is mere representative of value, and the
creature Of legislation. The usurious traffic
in money has been denounced and prohb-
tied in oil ages, and by all nations. The
ingenuity Of usurers have been too success
ful, heretofore, in evading the provisions Of
law. To enact penal statutes which shall
more effectually protect the community, is
now the constitutional duty Of the chosen
Representatives Of the people. We are gra-
tilted that the occasion has elected the able
article which we publish to-day. We hope
tha. the distinguished gentleman to whom
j, is addressed, will lend his aid in enigh,-
ening public opinion on this subject. There
has been too little attention paid, in Mary
land to the information Of the public mind.
In Virginia and many Of our sister States,
the columns Of the newspapers teen with
essays on subjects Of political economy,
from the ables! pens in the land. We
desire to see change in Mary laid, in this
respect.
We call attention, not only Of the public
but OF our law-makers, to the letter above al
luded 10, and hope tina. our correspondent
will follow up this subject, and that hi
unanswerabIe arguments may induce .h'
passage Of enactmen.s through the meshe
of which the most willy Shylock canno
escape.
To Gen. Thomas F. Bo,oie:

tracted from him, there will be still one ol
the floodgales Of the evil open, which the
usurer will certainly avail himself of. il is
known to you sir, and to all men of business
Especially coun,rymen) that there are indi-
viduals in the city Of Batimore-(lhey
are legion who are in The habit Of selling
their names as drawers, endorsers, accep-
tors, Sc, of notes, for commission of some
= l-2 or more per cent. on the amounts ol
he notes, and by so doing levying lremen-
dons tax upon The labor, enterprise. and pro-
duct Of the people. This falls with hea-
w hand upon the poor laborer and mechanic
of The city, and especially upon all the in
habtants, rich or poor, Of the country ;
they are excluded from The city Banks, al
though judging from The titles and names Of
these institutions, one would think they en-
! tirely belonged to the farmers and planters.
Yes, ! say they are excluded until they 60
and buy al high rate the name Of one Of
those genllenen-venders of names, some of
whom set at The board Of these very Banks
which adopt The exclusive rule agains. the
country people, and who are making for
tunes by accepting and endorsing for The
very persons whom they vote TO exclude.
Ask one Of those gentlemen if note with
good country names, should be discounted
in the Bank in which he is director, and
he will answer no-offer him 2 l-2 per cent.
or S25 TN the $1,000 for endorsing The
same note, and he will d, i, alta word. Now
II strikes me, if The names were good, they
were entitled 10 credit in Bank without his
endorsement, and if they were bad, he would
never run the risk of endorsing it for The
S25. What an open system Of plunder has
The country people submitted to-,here is
true, sir, this is collateral view Of the sub
jecl upon which am addressing you. The
Legislature may pass law prohibiting these
charges for accepting, endorsing, SC, and
the Banks may, and probably will, continue
to exclude the country people from their
counters. We can preven, the former, but
we cannot prevent the latter yet. lean on
lv say that, unless the Banks in the city of
Baltimore, (,he creatures Of the whole peo-
ple) shall change their system and open
their doors upon equal terms to men of

sir, II individuals d Tfo dIfec, these InslIiu-
lions, and practice this exclusive system a.
gainst The country, are not held on all avail
able occasions, in the acarm recolleclions Of
the people.
But to re,urn,-,hese charges for accept
ing, endorsing, SC, are Of The same family
with usury, and should be involved in The
same just fate. Their inevitable tendency
is to make The rich richer, by making the
poor poorer. Any system that operates
such an effect, should and will meet with
The decided reprobslion Of all upright and
patriotic men; and, sir, the Legislature will
not meet The demands Of the Constitution,
or The wishes Of the people, unless they
eradicate The acAo7e odious usurious system

"THE CHILD AND THE PEBBLE"
FROM THE GERMAN.
met an infant by bridge:
With hair of faxen hue,
Cheeks red, and rounded, as peach,
And eyes of blue.
She held pebble in her hand,
And then, in careless glee,
Threw it far out into the stream,
And laughed at me.
The golden fishes dived away,
AS fast the pebble fell,
And spreading circles vexed the waves
With gentle swell.
"Fair child" thought, chow blest in life,
If thus thou scatter wide,
The cares and sorrows thou shalt meet
On every side."
Full many gladsome years had fled,
When fancy me beguiled,
And bent my steps towards the bridge,
Where sat the child.
Alas! the arch had felt decay;
The stream, river grown,
Coursed madly DER the spot where once
The pebble shone.
And mid the darkness of the night,
And mid the furious storm,
With arms tossed up to Heaven, there stood
A woman's form.

For memory could but own,
