TIE South REpUDIATIN6 NORTHERN
CoLLEaEs.-A number of the Southern
newspapers are urging their citizens to
abandon the practice Of sending their
young men to be educated at Northern
colleges and other seminaries Of learning.
The argument used is that they acquire in
those institutions sentiments and princi-
pies of dangerous tendency to the pecu-
liar institutions of the South. Well-no
great matter to the North let them send
their youngsters to Russia or Japan, where
they teach doctrines suitable to the South.

THE FARM:
The Garden..-The Orchard.

BD-The Agricultural branch of the
Patent Office Report for 1854, exhibits
some improvement, we think, on previous
volumes There is somewhat more of
system in the arrangement Of the materi-
ais, and a fuller treatment Of several topics
connected with the culture of the ground
Still, it is capable of much greater i'm
provement, and ought indeed to be regar-
ded only as an apology for what is due
from the Government on so important an
interest Of this nation and Of mankind, as
that of which it treats. The contents of
this volume are, after Preliminary Re
marks, Domestic Animals, Insects, Fertili-
zers, Bread Crops, Textile and Forage
Crops, Miscellaneous Crops, Fruits, Nuts
and Wine, Gardening, Live Fences, Mis-
cellaneous Subjects, Climatology, CONNER
cial Statistics. 1t contains no grave Essay
on Divining Rods 1--WE trust it has now got
two years at least beyond that but it has
as a new feature, a good brief treatise on
Gardening.
As comparatively few Of our readers
will have access to the volume, We think
we shall do them service by copying some
portions of it into our columns.-Leuis-
burg Chronicle.

TACITIRNITY.


MR. EDITOR am called San odd fel-
low" because | will not be perpetually
talking in company. l should not mend
the matter, were | to speak all my thoughts
as they rise. The truth is, that l think
out Of the common road or, rather, it
seems to me that most people do not think
at all. Things very common, scarcely
attract the attention but it has often been
matter Of very curious speculation with
; myself, that perpetual flow of words, like
a stream rirpling over its pebbles, should
run on without any imaginable source
from whence they flow.
( My sister tcazes me for conversation.
had once serious thoughts Of contriving
machine, to artlculate sounds, and to go
by tie force Of pair of bellows only, to
supply her The place of socidJie compan-
ion but [ am very certain, on farther
consideration, that she would not trouble
herself to blow the bellows often, and that
she likes me very well for suffering her to
talk without interruption, although she is
for ever uptraiding me for my tacit',rnity.
beg your pardon, ladies and gentlemen,
for the comparison which l am about to
make When have been in gery socjdJte
dcd by a variety of birds Their notes
gave me no interruption, and sometimes
amused me little but have seldom had
the disposition of joining in what is called
the concert.
The human machine has often been
compared to watch like the compar-
ison very well How nice matter to
proportion the handspring and the balance
exactly together. If this can be done, it
matters very little whether the stops be
more or less loud it will always point
out the true time. If the balancc-spring
be little too short, or the main-spring
little too strong, or rice rerso, it is not
worth while to be always altering and
regulating. When the one has run down,
let it lay little while before winding up;
or put the one back little, and the other
forward but Heaven preserve US from
the grating sound of a watch that is apt to
loose its balance-spring.
I do not entirely approve of my own
disposition to be silent it seems too plain
an indication Of deficient force in my main
spring. But what is to be done? l can
rot communicate my odd thoughts in
alternate conversation it would be like an
attempt to converse in different languages
without an interpreter. If my thoughts
and opinions are not so eccentric as to be
entirely unintelligible, will send them
from time to time to the editor, and he
shall use his judgment whether they will
amusc sufficient number to merit place
in his paper. Ton TAcITURN.

TRANSLATION.

As in gardens fragrant, howery bed,
The graceful rose expands its blooming head,
Saf. from rude hands retired, its stalk extends,
And from the pasturcd tribe wall defends,
Refreshed by Sol, and every vernal shower,
II gains new beauties as it meets each hour.
The zephyrs vie to fan this lovely rose,
With breeze as soft rs from Arabia blows.
Meeting the balmy kiss Of southern gales,
il watts its odors through the PROSTATE wales,
DeliGhtin= all the nymphs and rustic swains
That sport associate the velvet plains
When once It's cropped, its beauty dies away,
Its foliage withcrs, and its scents decay;
No more its bosom to the day expands,
Nor catches spanges dropped from dewy hands.
Thus some fair female, dccked with roseate bloom,
Sees peace ard virtue to her bosom come,
While love and friendship round her form entwine
Aud srotess graccs blossom forth divine;
Retired from busy scenes, she passes life,
Unknown to envy, and unseen by strife,
Beloved by all Who travel virtues ways,
Who judge on merit, and with justice prase:-
Til some vain coxcomb, with insidous wiles,
Seduciug arts, and fascinating smiles,
Allures this fair one from her peaceful grove,
once the retreat Of Innocence and love;
Then leaves her helpless, hopeless, and alone,
To virtue, honor, and to peace, unknown:
Not one kind tear beiews her dcathy urn,
No friends to sigh, and for her loss to mourn!

Morn carsh fonaly to a fair boy straying
Mid golden meadows rich with clover dew;
She calis-but he stiIl thinks Of naught save playing
And so she smiles and bids him adieu!
Whilst he, still merry with his iowery store,
Deems not that Morn, sweet Morn, returns no more.
Noon oor7eGt-but the boy, TO manhood growing,
Heels not the time-he but one sweet form,
One young, fair face from bower of jasmine glowing,
And all his loving heart with bliss is warm
SO Noon, unnotice,l, seeks the western shore,
And man forgets that noon returns no more.
Night toTrsh g,n.iy at easement cleaning
With the thin fire light fickering faint and low,
by which gray haired man is sadly dreaming
OF pleasures gone N all lfe's pleasures go;
Night calls him TO her, and he leaves his door,
Silent and dark--abd he returns no mo-e.

tempered, without crusting or chapping in
dry weather, or turning to mortar when it
is wet. Sandy or peaty soils are specially
good for particular kinds Of plants, and
most kinds of flowers; but for general fer
tility, the soil just described is the best.
1t may be termed sandy loam )" but .
"clayey loam'-that is, loam with q
great proportion of clay in its suited to
many plants; for instance, the common
bean. A good under-soil is very impor-
tant for very hard clay below, or grav-
el, if near the surface, is very bad, though
in opposite respects. A hard clay bottom
will not allow the rain which falls to pass
through it Hence the upper soil will be
in state Of mortar during winter, and in
spring and summer it will harden and
crack. If a too open under-soil be near
the surface, the rain will pass downwards
too rapidly. a soil resting on a rock is
often shallow, poor, hungry, and quickly
becoming dry after rain. A chalky soil
is very good, provided there be sufficient
depth Of earth over it; if it be mixed with
sand, it is extremely good for a garden
The best kind Of under-soil is a sandy or
calcareous one, that viii allow moisture to
pass with moderate rapidity through it;
such an unlcr-soil, having 10 bad quali-
ties in it, will nourish tie roots Of plants
that strike deeply, Instead of stopping or
preventing their extension.
In respect TO the situation Of garden,
it ought to have southern aspect, slight
ly inclined towards the east, in a northern
climate, and it is desirable that it should
be within sight of the house.
According to Cobbett, it is advantageous
to have the northerly end Of the garden
quite level, and the remainder sloping
gently towards the south. He asserts shat
some plants, such as the strawberry, pro-
duce more abundantly upon level ground,
from which moisture does not escape too
quickly; and that others, such as early
broccoli, early cabbage, winter spinach,
and early peas, succeed best on slope,
say about one foot in thirty, which pre-
vents the accumulation of water, in winter,
about their roots A fat garden, howev-
er, will be found the most lu1uriant in
summer, when it is most desirable that tho
moisture should not run away. If prae-
ticable, small stream of water should be
brought into the garden by means of
waterman, or some other economical con-
trivance, which will be great convenience
for irrigating the beds in dry weather. If
a stream is not at hand, water may be
caught in cisterns or tanks from the farm
buildings, aud distributed to the plants by
means Of cutters or pipes.
