Oak Leaves.

Fifteen years ago. will rememberthat cotton
seed and wheat straw were regarded as mus
ances about farm yard and gin! Our best far
mcrs did not regard them as worth hauling home
and now they are regarded an excellent manure,
and richly worth taking care Of, as in fact cotton
seed is worth in market, from ten to fifteen cents
per bushel.
Now, may be thought to be utopian, and in
advance of the age, so far as never to be over
taken, but l assert, as the members Of Congress
say "here in my place." (and | have as much
night to place as they have,) that ten years
will not roll over my head, should I live so long
before dry oak leaves gathered from the forest
will be regarded as an excellent manure, and well
worth the time it will take to haul them upon
our corn, cotton, grains or root lands, and ma
nure with leaves, but corn and cotton stalks, and
almost every annual growth upon our lands will
be garnered up and priced as valuable fertilizers
The truth is, and any farmer may try it who
chooses, that in weight oak leaves are as valuable
as cotton seed, simply thrown broadcast upon
the land and ploughed in late in December or
early in January, and for corn, cotton potatoes
or anything that grows until the mindle of Au-
gust, or later, there is no manure that will pay
better, put in drills early in January and cover
ed up as deep as practicable, than dry oak leaves
They not only furnish food for the roots plants
but they keep the soil moist, and facilitate the
process of degradation, and thus enrich the soil
from the soil ITSELF
This moisture and degradation takes place too,
about the time corn, cotton and roots need it
most, viz: about the time they are forming their
fruit; whereas, like cotton seed or any other vege-
table manure, when rotted entirely; before put in
at the time you plant, unless put in very large
quantities, becomes exhausted, or in other words
dry and almost worthless, either as a means of
retaining moisture, or as nutriment to the plant.
As manure for sweet potatoes there is no
thing better, and the object of this article is to
direct the attention of our farmers to this subject,
in order that they may have good crops of pota-
toes. whether it be seasonable in the latter part
of the summer or not, and it is not too late now
for that operation.
The plan is to haul some five or six wagon
loads Of leaves to the acre, and put them in con-
yenient places. Then open large deep trenches
8, ID or feet apart with large shovel first and
then two twister furroys in the same, so as to
throw the dirt out as much as possible, after
which YOU should run two furrows in the trench
with Broylers' subsoil plow, then put in your
Camden journal. [volume] (Camden, South-Carolina) 1852-1852, 1852-04-16

leaves and tramp them in, throwing little dirt
with your foot or hoe over them, so as to pre-
vent the wind from blowing them out as we'll as
to enable the twister afterwards to cover them
well, which must be done Immediately. Then
split out the middle with shovel or double twis-
ter, then open very shallow hole, or simply lev
ell the dirt, drop your potatoes some eighteen
inches or two feet apart, and with hoe draw
dirt over them from the middle furrow, covering
them some two or three inches.
Let them remain in this way until they be-
gin to come up, when scrape them down in order
to kill the weeds and grass, and the next time
you work them, run three small deep scooter fur
rows in the middle of the row, hill your pota-
toes up good, and if you have the leaves, fll up
between the ridges about half way to the top or
more, and let them alone. All the weeds that
come up after this will not injure the potatoes
If he who tries this plan does not make more po-
tatoes from the same ground, with less trouble
than he ever bid before, then set me down as an
ignoramus, as well as TYRo.

A PATHETIC srEEcH.-The speech made in
the Florida Legislature on the occasion ofa men,
ber's death, has been the rounds, but is good
enough to print again:
q s~Mr. Speaker, Sir-Our fellow citizen, Mr..
silas Higgins, who was lately member Of this
branch Of the legislature, and he died yesterday
in the forenoon. He had the brown creatures,
(bronchitas) and he was an uncommon individ-
ual. His character was good up to the tine of
his death, and he never lost his voice. He was
SIS years old, and was taken sick before he died
at bis boarding house, where board can be had
at dollar and seventy-fve cents week, wash
me and lights included. He was an ingenious
creature, and in the early part of his life had q
father and mother His uncle, Timothy Hig-
seips. served under General Washington, who
IVES buried soon after his death with military
honors, and seventeen guns were bust in firing
'salutes. Sir, Mr.. Speaker, General Washington
would have voted for the tariff of ls48, if he had
been olive and hadn't died sometime before.
hand. Now, Mr.. Speaker, such being the char
.acter of General Washington, motion that we
were adjourned till tomorrow morning as an EN-
, blem Of our respect for the memory Of s: Hig-
oins, who is dead, of the brown creatures yester-
day in the forenoon"

PREcocIrY OF INrEILEcT.-Having watched
the growth of the young mind good deal, weak
less and less in love with precocity which, indeed
is often mere manifestations of disease the disease,
of very fine, but weak organization. Your
young Rosciuses, and all your wonders of that
kind, generally end in the feblest of common
place. There is no law, however, precise and abb
solute in the matter. The difference Of age at
which men attain maturity ofintelect and even
of imagination, is very striking. The tumultu-
GUS heat of youth has certainly given birth to
many of the noblest things in music, painting,
and poetry; but no less fine productions have
sprung from the ripeness Of years. Chatterton
wrote all his beautiful things, exhausted all hope
of life, and saw nothing better than death at the
age of ls. Burns and Byron died in their S!th
wear, and doubtless the strength Of their genius
was over. Rafelle, after filling the world with
divine beauty, perished at 81; Mozart earlier
These might have produced still greater works.
Dryden came up from the provinces dressed IN
Norwich drugget, somewhat above the age OF 80,
and did not know that he ecould write even line
of poetry; and yet, what towering vigor and
swinging ease appeared all at once in GLORIOUS
john Milton had, indeed, written 'Comus' at
SO; but he was upwards Of so when he began ms
great work Cowper knew not his own might
till he was far beyond 80, and his Task was not
written till about his 50th year. Sir Walter
Scott was also upwards of 80 before he publish
ed his 'Mnstrelsv,' and all his greatness was yet
to come.

BREEDING Hoas.-Farmers generally kill off
their hogs too soon, and are disposed to depend
too much on young swine as breeders. Now, it
is well known to all scientific stock raisers that
the finest animals are always produced from these
that arrived at full maturity, and people who
have heretofore overlooked this important fact,
are advised to reserve their most promising hogs,
sheep, cattle and horses until they are fully de-
veloped, and then notice the superiority of their
progeny over that produced by half grown and
immature animals. Southern Cultivator.

The SUN-FLowER.-A correspondent of the
Rural Wew Yorker has some remarks on the
culture and use of the Sun-hower, which may be
worthy the attention Of the agriculturist He
says:
"I have raised and tested it, and think no
farmer who has much land should be without it
for feeding various animals, and the oil it pro-
duces. 1t has yielded with me from 80 to 100
bushels per acre, manured the same as for corn.
Iplant in drills, between three and four feet
apart, and scatter the seed about six inches dis
tant in the rows-using from four to FIVE quarts
per acre.
"When ripe as the large heads begin to shell
out, cut it up, and leave it scattered in rows to
dry, and when thoroughly cured, draw it into
my barn, handling carefully and placing on an
airy scaaold. When wanted, the seed will near
ly all shell out by throwing down, and needs
but little pounding. Clean in a common fan
ming mill.
"One hundred pounds of the seed yield forty
pounds of oil; one bushel will make gallon of
oil. had part of my seed made into oil at a
common oil mill, and used it for burning in lamps
and tested it we'll for painting. Our house has
been painted long time; and it wears fully equal
to those where linseed is used, and the walls are
Left more glossy as though little varnish had
been applied.
"1he oil cake is nearly equal to any other
and there is nothing better to feed hens in win
ter than sunfower seed; they did not know what
it was at first, but by mixing it with oats, they
gradually grew fond Of it, and, produced eggs
more abundantly than usual OF, other food
The seed is well knwn to be good for horses, and
is well worth so cents bushel to the farmer
I hope they will test this matter for themselves,
and am sure they will find it profitable to raise
their own oil, &C., as have DONE"

THE OLD CLOCK ON THE STAIRS.


By HENRY wADswoRTH LoNGFELLow.
Somewhat back from the village street
Stands the old-fashioned country-seat.
ri Across its antique portico
Tall poplar-trees their shadows throw;
6 And from its station in the hall -.
An ancient true piece says to all-
1E aForever-never!
Never-foreverp
Halfway up the stairs it stands,
And points and beckops with IFS hands
s From its case Of massive oak,
3 Like monk, who under his cloak
Crosses himself and sighs, alas!
With sorrowful voice to all who pass,--
Forever-never
Neyer-forever
By day its voice is low and light,
& But in the silent dead of night.
Distinct as passing footsteps fall,
1t echoes along the vacant hall,
Along the ceiling, along the floor,
And seems to say at each chamber door,
aForever-never! -.H... ..
Never--forever9'
In that mansion used to be
Free hearted Hospitality,
His great fires by the chimney roared,
The stranger feasted at his board; a
But like the skeleton at the feast,
; The warning time peace never ceased,-
sForever-never!
:, g a.s, Never-forever 'R
There groups of merry children played,
) There youths and maidens dreaming strayed'
Oh, precious hours! o, golden prime,
And influence of love and time;
Even as miser counts his gold,
Those hours the ancient time-piece told
Forever-never!
Never-foreverm
From that chamber, clothed in white,
The bride came forth on her wedding night,
There, in the silent room below,
The dead lay in his shroud Of snow;
And in the nuSn tndt soiio"eo tuS PeJSt
Was heard the old clock on the STAIR
"Forever-never! a,... @
,Never-forever." ~. .r....,..
All are scattered now and fed,
Some are married, some are dead,
And when ask, with throbs Of pain,
"An, when shall they all meet again
AS in the days long since gone BY"
The ancient time peace makes reply,
sForever-never
Never-forever."
Never here, forever there,
Where all parting, pain and care,
And death, and time shall disappear,-
Forever there, but never here
The horologe of Eternity
Sayeth this incessantly-
aForever-never!
Never-forever."

QUer1Ne ScR1prURE.-A worthy deacon, III
the good town of F., in the neighborhood
of this city, was remarkable for the facility with
which he quoted scripture on all occasions
The divine word was ever at his tongues end,
and all the trivial as well as important occur
rences of life furnished occasion for quoting the
language of the Bible What is better, howey-
er, the exemplary man always made his quota
tions the standard of action One hot day he
was engaged in moving, with his hired man, who
was leading of, the deacon following in the
swarth, coming his apt quotations, when the
man suddenly sprang from the swarth just in
time to escape wasp's nest ...-.
"What is the matterF' hurriedy inquired
the deacon.
"Waspsr' was the laconic reply.
"Poohp' said the deacon, athe wicked fee
when no man pursueth but the righteous are as
bold as lion.'" And taking the workman's
swarth, he moved but step, when swarm Of
the brisk insects settled about his ears, and he
was forced to retreat with many painful sting
and in great discontinue.
"Aha!" shouted the other, with chnckle,

The good deacon had found his equal in ma
