PALMER THE POISONER.

The London Leader says of this unpar-
alleled criminal: "He can hardly be
said TO have any moral feeling, to such a
degree is it dormant and lethargic.-
While quite young mainland those
who knew him well insist that he can not
now be less than thirty-five years of age
-he was noted for his sharp practice at
cards and all games Of chance. His con-
versation ran only on such subjects,
coupled with horses and facile women.
When no other pastime was obtainable,
he could content himself with pitch and
toss, provided the stakes were sufficiently
high. But his honor was not to be relied
upon. He would take every advantage
and screw his adversary down to the
strictest rules, while he invented bylaws
for his own use. His friendship-if such
it could be called, which referred only to
wv tAfSiA vi a Hlstil ; usefulness 10 ulln-
self-was disastrous TO all who expert
ensed it. His love was fatal, either to
the object of his lust, or to the obstacle
which impeded its fruition. Years AGO
he formed criminal attachment for q
young married woman of great personal
beauty. The husband, naturally prone
to drink, was encouraged in the pernicious
habit. One day he was urged to the most
frightful excess, aud when he refused to
plunge into deeper bestiality, was twitted
as milksop, and dared to 90 on. In.
famed with rage and liquor the wretched
man drained off another glass of ardent
spirits, staggered ont Of the house. and
iell down corpse. lie had died from
excessive drinking, said his neichbors
and the Stafordshire Bathsbeba wa.
comiorted in the foul embrace Of her bus-
bands murderer.

THE Observation-Disclosures litera-
ture, next to poetry, reflects most strong
ly the images of the time the moving
phantasmagoria of real events ere long
kindle5 the imagination, and tingeS the
pictures of the narrative. The cold aca-
demic style of Robertson may suit the
comparative calmness of the eighteenth
century, but the fervor and animation of
its close communicated itself to the his
torical works of the next. Hallam was
tae first historian whose style gave token
of the coming change; his works mark
the transition from one age and style Of
literature 10 another.

PoyERTY.-Poverty is the nurse of
manly energy and heaven-climbing thots,
attended by love, and faith, and hope,
around whose steps the mountain breezes
blow, and from whose countenance all the
virtues gather strength. Look around
you upon the distinguished men in every
department of life who guide and control
the times, and inquire what was their OF
igin, and what was their early fortunes.
Were they, as general rule, rocked and
handled in the lap of wealth?

From tho New England Far
NADER.

1t has been ascertained of late that this
plant is susceptible of cultivation IN this
country, though the very large quantity
of it annually consumed in our clothing
establishments, and Lighthouses, are I'M
ported. The plant has perennial root
and an annual stock, and those who have
carefully it with reference to its habits,
say that it does best in deap, rich, sand
loan, moist, but not>wet. 1t requires,
three summers to come to perfection
and as the roots strike deep, the ground
should be plowed and mellowed two feet
deep for its reception. Miller says it
should be planted with dibble Gt is
propagated by offsets from the old roots,)
in rows from two to three feet apart
while Beechstein says they should be
planted only six inches asunder. The
practice in this country, we believe, for
we are not personally familiar with it, is
to plant in rows four or five feet apart,
and to cultivate rows of corn or potatoes
between them, at least the first year.
The seasonfor planting is the last of May
or first of June. The acre produces, as
things are favorable OF unfavorable, from
ten to twenty hundred pounds.
Hitherto, it has been cultivated princi
pally in Holland the province of Zeal
and, according to late traveller, beinga
most covered with it, and from whence it
$ exported to every part of Ell g,and and
America, yielding almost incalculable
profit
Several years since it was stated tha
the imports of madden for the use of oul
own manufactures amounted, annually, Il
more than two millions of dollars Their,
is no reason, as it appears tous, why GU
farmers should not succeed as well in tn
cultivation of this important and valuabl
product, as the Hollanders, and thu
avail themselves of new resource, an
an amount of income which would be c
great benefit, not only in its effects upo
r their own interests, individually, but uE
on the interests of the country at larg'
Successful experiments have alread
been made in Otsego and Madison cour
r ties, New York, and very favorable r'
suits are anticipated by those who hav
commenced the business of growing it, &
> field crop, in other parts.

From the New England Farmer.
SALT HAY.

Mr.. BROWN In an editorial last
week you made some remarks upon salt
marsh and hay. As I think you do not
give them their true value, I wish TO say
a few words in their defence, and hope
that some wiser head and nobler penthan
mine will come forward and give them
their fair worth.
l know nothingof their value in wes-
tern Massachusetts,, but in Essex County
| do. Making and applying manures
is the grand secret of farming. IfEssex
County should be deprived of its salt hay
it would sing snail in the manure line,
for it must be remembered that all the
salt hay that is brought on tothe farm is
so much gain, for there is no manure
needed in return. l think you mistake
in the two principles Which you think uni
versally prevail; they are the exceptions,
not the general rule. So far as am ac
quainted, the best farmers, and those that
have made the most improvement upon
their uplands, are those that cut fair
proportion of salt hay for the size of their
farm.
There is no need salt haying's interior
ing with the other necessary business on
the farm; if the manager is a man of
good calculations, he .may find time TO
pay proper attention to all his other
crops, and some for improving low lands.
have made no improvement TO boast
OF, but salt hay has been the first moving
spring to enable me TO do what / have
done. If you will make me visit. I
think l can show you enough to convince
you that it is not worse than useless
Also show you two young COWS and bull
that have raised mostly upon it, which
l think are no diagrace to my farm.
1t IS a mistake that cattle must be
kept at the starvation point to induce
them to eat salt hay, if it is cut in season.
