Rnrs ON Vines in Gardens.

AS the season is at hand when the striped
bugs will attack cucumber, melon, and
squash vines, we again inform our readers,
that the only cheap and effectual way that
we have found for preventing their ravages,
is to take bits of thin board and make little
frames (boxes without top or bottom say
about foot square and six to eight inches
deep, and cover the to- with cheap mi,inet,
or musquto netting, such as can be found at
most dry goods stres, at about ten or twelve
cents square yard. 1t can be fastened on
with small tacks, and the whole labor and
expense of making several dozens of these
coverings is very slight.
Put one of these over each hill as soon as
the plants appear, and keep them on day ant
night, only removing them to stir the earth
or water the plants, until they are too large
fol the frames, or the danger from bugs il
over. Besides excluding the bugs, these
coverings are found to promote the grow:l
of the plants by partially shading the grount
protecting them from winds, DC. BY stor
ing them in dry place, when removed from
the vines, the frame and netting will las

Henry Clay's opinion Of Pierce
and Scott.

in his letter of the 2lst ult., on Mr.. Clay's
opinions ofthe prospects of Gen. Pierce and
Gen. Scott.
l hear from many that Mr.. Clay says that
he Scott) cannot and should not get fifty
electoral votes. By the by, it is notorious
all over Washington that Mr.. Clay is openly
for Pierce in opposition to Scott, whose nom
ination he deprecates as an insultto the Wing
party, and whose election he regards as Ike
ly to lead to a speedy dissolution ofthe Union
If these facts are doubted by any Wings in
your region, Just ask them to bring the eertiti-
cate of any respectable man, saying that he
has, in any way, shape, form, or manner, ex-
pressed even indirect approval of the action
of the Convention nominating Scott, or de-
clared his preference for Scott, or declared
his preference fol Scott over Pierce. lie will

this canvass, though to more than half doz-
en- of his friends attending his bedside. he
has taken occasion to express his dying be-
lief that all true patriots should prefer Pierce
to Scott. JOHN TAYLOR, of Caroline.
On the confidence to be placed in the
statements of this writer, the American says:
The statement in the concluding sentences
of the letter of John Taylor, in our paper to-
day, will occasion some excitement, but not,
we 5hink, surprise among the acquaintance
of Mr.. Clay. Those ofour subscribers who
have read the letters of our correspondent
have found him always perfectly reliable in
his statements of facts He was the first to
expose the intrigues of Gov Jones for Scott,
and has nevet maoe statement offacts which
events have not fully confirmed. We place
implicit reliance in his letter to day, because
we know the man, and know him to be i'll
capable of making exaggerated statements

Life Like Picture---Tbe Dandy.

The dandy, says Rev. H. W. Beecher, is
the sum total of coats, hats, vests, boots,
&c. He is the creature of the tailor. His
destiny is bound up in broad cloth and fire
linen. His worth can onl y be estimated by
the yard, cloth measure. We are puzzled
to tell whether he is female gentleman, or
male lady. He combines the little weak
nesses and fotbes of both sexes, but knows
nothing of the good qualities of either. He
is human poodle, dandled at home in the
lap of etfiminancy, but the sport and butt of
every sensible dog when he ventures into the
street. On pleasant days he exhibits linn
selfupon the fashionable promenades, to tie
admiration, as he supposes, of every fair la
dy who is fortunate enough to cross his path.
The severest labors his hands perform is
to tote dainty cane about his daily walks.
The only head work to which he would stoop
| is to twirl and coax luxurlant moustache,
or bathe his glossy locks and ringlets in O.
doris sweet. He is inconsolable over soil
ed boot, and would be driven to distraction
were he compelled to appear In tumbled Ii
men. Original sin, with htm, consists in mo-
being born with full suit of the latest Pa
risian mode; and the clearest proof of depra
yity as we'll as vulgarity, is wearing las
years style. In fine, his soul is in his
clothes; and when at last he goes down to
that most questionable and undandifed
place, the house of the dead proper epitaph
wonld he-"Here lies all of him that could
die; the rest has gone-to the old clothes
dealers"

THE FARMER.


He dwells among the rugged hills,
And tillS the fertile soil;
His hands are hard, his muscles knit
To manliness by toll.
He may not have the easy glace
That fashion can impart,
But in his sun Drowned face is seen
The goodness of his heart;
And few of those who walked the sod
Are better noblemen of God.
Around him dwelt the troubadours
Ofmeadow, hill and grove
The pleasant warbers of the air
That sing the hymns of love:
The robin, and the orlole,
The linnet and the lark;
And such as cheered the troubled heart
Of Noah in the Ark.
Trained up in blamelessuess of thought
He leads happy life;
His heart is in his peaceful home,
His ways averse to strife.
Free as the air that cools his brow,
He spurns oppression's rod:
His rule of life-true love to man,
Implicit faith in God.
Hope ever proves his faithful friend,
And all his acts his life commend.
Years may depart and cares increase,
His form be bowed with age
Yet nought diminish of the man,
While adding to the sage.
And they shall say of him when dead
And say without coEstraint:
So bright an ornament to man
Is canonized Saint;
And few who on our earth have trod
Were better nobIemen of God.
The Democratic sentinel and Harrison County farmer. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1851-1852, 1852-07-21
Late Hoeing for Corn Injurious

In the cultivation of this important and
valuable crop, it should ever be borne in
mind that late hoeing is an inquiry rather
than benefit. The practice adopted, how
ever by most farmers at this day and which
from the powerful support it derives from
physiological science, deserves to be unlver-
sal, is thoroughly to eradicate all spurious
vegetation before that periodin the advance
ment of the crop, when the small, fibrous
roots having assumed position near the
surface of the soil, are necessarily exposed
to, and consequently lacerated by the hoe.
1t is, indeed rarely the case in this country,
that more than two hoeings are strictly ne
cessary if properly performed, in the culti-
walton of corn. The latter being as gem
erAI thing, accomplished by the time the
plants are ready to spindle, leaves the crop
in its mestvigorous and healthy state, not
only uninfested by weeds, but at liberty to
pursue its growth, and perfect the beauti-
full system of laternal rootlets, in soil per-
fechy light and permeable and with all the
important ad iuncts emanating from the free
and unrestricted access of those prime elc-
ments ofvegitablc nutrition-moisturc heat
and air.
! 1t has often been to me matter of sup
prise, on passing the enclosure of some who
call themselves farmers, to see large, con.
cal hills erected, similar to those formed by
tiIlcrs around their potatoes; though as
conceive, without any possible advantage te
that crop, more than to corn. Under. al
circumstances. | find a perfectly flat sur.
