hands, together with a young man who ac-
ted as overseer, and worked what time he
could ; 200 barrels corn and So 400 lbs)
cotton. In all my farming operations, !
have never used any bought manures, Gyp-
sum excepted, which I found to act as well
on Cotton. 1t pays well to buy simply to
rub the seed in. But l relied on such
means of improving as nature had put in
my reach, and from my limited knowl.
edge | believe the means are amply supplied
upon almost every farm to improve it.
If the plan of improvement now going
on in this county, and SO rapidly spreading
in the adjoining counties, can be made gen.
eral throughout the State, and it is through
the influence of your valuable paper this
may be efected-for ] suppose nearly eve

H WARNING G..

Touch it not We do not know,
Unless you've borne a fate like mine,
How deep a curse, hoy wild q woe,
Is lurking in hat rudy wine.
Look on my cheek, It's withered now,
IL once was round and smooth as thine,
Look on my deeply furrowed brow,
IT'S all the work Of treacherous wine.
! had two sons, two princely boys,
As noble men as God e'er gave,
/ saw them fall from honOrs, joys,
To fill a common drankard's grave.
! had a daughter, young and fair,
As pure as ever woman bore.
Where is she, did you ask me where?
Bend low, I'll tell the tale once more.
] saw that fairy child Of mine,
Linked to a kingly bridegroom's side,
Her heart vas gay and free as thine.
Oh would to God she then had died.
Not many moons had filled their horn,
While she upon his bosom slept;
Twas on q dark and dismal morn,
She Ger a murdered husband wept.
Her drunken father dealt the blow,
Her brain grew wild her heart grew weak;
Was ever tale Of deeper woe,
A mothers lips had lived to speak.
She dwells in yonder darksome walls
No ray Of reason e'er doth shine,
She on her murdered husband calls
Twas done by wine, by cursed wine
