upon the table bottle labelled "Claret Wine,
he came to the conclusion to imbibe little OF

Presently the proprietor, who had suffered
considerably from the frequent calls of SINH

how affairs stood. completely Mortified the

Annexation Policy.

The telegraph reports that President Pierce
has changed his views in regard to the ncq!Iss:
si,ion Of new territory, and will now oppose
the annexation even Of Cuba and the Sand.
wich Islands.
As 10 the latter, we doubt If the views Of
the Administration have at all changed. We:
give them too much credit for common .ense,s
to believe that they ever seriously desired thats
acquisition. A little knot Of islands, threes
/ Thousand miles from the nearest point of the,
grcgate Of IN ,re than six thousand square miles,s
and much Of this utterly uninhabitable, is pro-
posed as State of the American Union! AS
an acquisition, it is contemplate in any possi.y;
BILE view; while the project was liable to all.
most every sort of objection. All maritime
countries have treaties with the Government of
these Islands and direct interest against
their appropriation by any one. They are at
such distance that their appropriation and de-;s
fence by the United States would involve ans
enormous expense. They are not extensive2 Z:
enough to justify such expense. They ares.
in nowise necessary to any great interest, Of
our country. Finally, they are inhabited by a.
race that can never be assimilated to the pee-&2
pie Of the United States. s
These are overwhelming reasons why weg
should not take the fortunes of the Sandwich
Islands on our shoulders But, as we have
said, there is no gond reason to suppose that
tile Administration has ever favored this scheme:
Of annexation, and that consequently there has
not been any change of policy in this respect
The whole thing seems to have been an intrigue Z
of set of adventures, who saw their Own
interests in promoting a Union Of these Islands
with the United States.
In regard to Cuba, change Of policy was
forced upon the Administration, by the unani- {
nous declaration Of the Spanish Cortes against !
the sale of that colony. 1t is we'll known that
President Pierce had set his heart upon the
acquisition of that beautiful and fruitful island y
But it is also known that he recognized, in the )
fullest degree, the right Of Spain to peaceful
Pr essi'n of ,her colony, |; has proved im.5

tration has shown no infrmition or change OF 7
purpose in declining to take, by violence or !
conspiracy, what it was unable to gain by fair Z

ington is gratifying, it does not, in our opinion,
indicate any blind change Of policy on the part.
Of the Administration, but rather statesman. !,

DON'T RUN IN DEBT,
HY FRANCIS D. GAGE.

BY FRANCIS D. GAGE.
Don't run in debt never mind, never mind,
IF the old clothes are faded and torn;
Fit them up, make them do, tits better by far,
Than to have the heart weary and worn.
Who'll love you more for the set Of the hat,
Or YOUR ruff, or the tie Of your shoe,
The shape Of your vest, or your boots or cravat,
If they know you're in debt for the new
Don't run in debt-If canarys the go,
Wear blue if you have not the cash,
ONO matter what-soyou let the world know
You won't run in debt for a dash.
There's no comfort tell you in walking the street
In fine clothes if you know you're in debt,
And feel that perchancr you some tradcsman may
meet,
Who will sncer-"T They're not paid for yet
Good friends, let me beg you don't run in debt
If the chairs and the sofas are old
They will fit your back better than any new set
Unless they are paid for in gold;
IF the house is small draw it closer together,
Keep it warm with hearty good will;
A big one unpaid for, in all kinds OF weather,
Will send to your warm heart chill.
Don't run in debt-now dear girls take hint;
(f the fashions have changed since last tseason)
Old nature is out in the very same tint,
And Old nature we think, has some reason.
Ju>t say to your friends you cannot AFFORD
To spend time to keep up with the fashion;
That your purse is too light and your houor too
bright,
To be tarnished with such silly passion.
Gents dort run in dcbt-let your friends if they car
Have fine houses, feathers and flowers,
But unless they are paid for, be more Of man,
Than envy their sunshny hours,
II you have money to spare have nothing to say
Spend your dimes and your dollars as you please
But mind you the man that has his note to pay
Is the mau that is never at case
Kind husbands, don't run in debt any more;
Twill fill yosr wifts cup full Of sorrow,
To know that neighbor may call at your door.
With bill you can't settle tomorrow.
Oh! take my advicc-it is good it is true
(But least some of you may doubt it,
III whisper secret now seeing It's you
have tried it and know all about it.
The chain of debtor is heGvy and Geld,
Its links all corrosion and rust,
Gid it DER asyou Wilt is never Of gold,
Then spurn it aside with disgust,
The man who's in debt is too o ten Save,
Though his heart may Le honest '''d true;
Can he hold up his head and look saucy and brave

Field Operations &C.

AS YOU have now begun new year, few
remarks with regard 10 your field operations
your farm economy, and the general manage
ment of your affairs, may not he aniss.
Should the field you intend for c"rn next
spriag be- tenacious clay land, aud opporluni-
ty should offer through the winter, have it
plowed, so as that It's texture may he mrllora
ted by the frost; ii such land BE- sound that i,
not wet, plow it a, least 5 inches deep, lay
your lurrows at an angle of about ID degrees,
in order that they may lap, and thus expose the
greatest possible surface to the action of the
weather. In the spring, rs soon as the ground
is sufficiently dry to permit your team to g"
on it without danger of p"achng by the horses
have it rolled, then apply your manure, and
cross-plow it in about inches in dep:h, then
roll it, and harrow until you have fine ,ilh:
Recollect, however, that clay s"ils should new
er be plowed while in wet state, or when
very dry, bnt when in Il moist condition.
As corn requires to be grown either in We.
ry fertile soil, or if the soil be not naturally
fertile, that it be heavily manurcd as it re.
quires much food, it is almost vain to expect Il
good crop unless there be in the so the means
of sustenance And as such is the case it is
large fields of corn to induce you to put in a
greater extent of acres than you can manure
well, unless your land be really rich. To cul-
tivate corn in an impoverished soil, unless it be
generously manured, so far as the prospect of
product is concerned, is illusury In laying
out your work for the year, see to it that you
do not over crop yourself. Let the crops which
you may put in be within the ability of your
force to cultivate thoroughly and well. Make
your calculations to get in both your oats and
corn crop timely, nine times out of ten
these crops, when earl pitched, succeed best.
When we speak of the early planting of corn
and sowing of OATS we do not mean that eth
er should be put in before the earth is suffi-
ciently warm to encourage the prompt germi-
nation of the seed but we do mean, that as
soon as the earth is sufficiently warmed to
caused the seed to sprout and vegitate, that
both crops should be put in. You should ex-
ert your utmost efforts to manure every acre
that you may cultivate in a spring crop. If
the supplies Of your barn and stable yards are
not eqralto this, add to them sufficient guam
tity OF woods mould pine skaters, or marsh,
river or creek mud to give you 20 two horse
loads per acre; form The whole into compost,
= and let it remain in bulk three weeks when
decomposition will have sufficiently taken place
to render the mass availablecto your crops. If
barn yard and stable supplies are not compe.
Z tent to enable you to add the requisite number
of loads to give you twenty two horse loads
per acre, add 100 or $50 pounds ofsPeruvian
Guano, and bushel of plaster, to every twen.
ty loads that you put into the compost; and
we risk nothing in saying that should the season
prove auspicious, you will have large crop Of
both corn and oats, provided the fdrmer5be cal.
