A WOOD FIRE.


By my lonely fireside sitting.
where no other save its fitting,
Pickering light Is nigh;
What q world Of dreamy fancies
In each little bright flms dances
Keeping time with memoryl
Cold and dead and dreary, seeming
With. no germ of fierce life teeming.
Lies the unkindled pile;
Till by flaming brand igniied,
Hearth and heart and home are lighted
With glowing smil9.
Cold and dead and dreary, seemiug
With no germ of passion teeming
fhrobb'd my heart a while,
Till its pent flames were ignited,
And my heart and home were lighted
ssr By her glowing smile.
Now the flames are dancing, singing
Cheerful thoughts and feeling bringing
To my heart and home,
And golden lights glowing
With radiant splendor flowing
Over all my room.
She was gsyly dancing, singing,
And her merry laugh was ringing
Through my heart and home;
Ali her soul hjoy o'erhswing,
And her radiant lace was glowing
With a roseaie bloom.
Now the flames are dancing, reeling
Ghastly. shadowy forms are stealing
Noissless through my room;
Pickering, fading, dying, dying
Hearth and heart and home are lying,
Wrspt in cherries gloom.
Shadows Ger my heart were stealing.
And was here struggling, reeling
Downward to the tomb
Gloon was on my hearthstone living.
She lov'd was dying, dying
In her youthful bloom.
Dead the smould'ring heap now lieth:
Dead! the bodiDg gloom repIeth;
Shading now my hearth:
DEATH and like its flame are dyinfi
All the pleasures that are lying
On our way ward path.
Dead o God, the form CHERISHED
Dead! and with her being persih'd
Cheer from of my hearth,
Dead my hopesl my heart is dyingl
Dead the roses that are lying

The REGISTER AT FAULT AeAE.-We were all
assured by the know nothings heresbouts that Mr..
Fillmore had more than 100000 registered and

he got only 10000 votes, and those confding

on TIE ELECTION OF BUCHANAN AND BREcKNRIDeE;
BY his FRIENDS.
To the unknown frieLds to whom we are in
debted for this priceless compliment, no language
can convey the sincers gratitude we feel 1t is not
for us to estimate the value of the services which
we in our humble way, msy have rendered in the
recent canvass. Ae
1t isour privilege to say, however, that properly
sppreciating the healthful or delterious influence
which the press must always exert in govern
ment like ours, and deeply and earnestly impressed
with the truth of the Democratic principles and
the peculiar Importance of their ascendency at
this crisis, We have labored in all earnestness Of
heart to produce result upon which we believed
the very safety Of the government itself depended
For the zeal and honesty of purpose with which
we, in conjunction with our experienced senior,
have pursued our course, rather than any peculiar
efficiency of our labors, do we attribute this sgree-
able manifestation of favor.
The recsnt canvass is regarded, generally, as the
most important in the history Of our government
The triumph of the Democracy over oil odds has
been signal and complete. The country is safe
and our friends are rejoiced. At such time and
under such circumstances, to be the recipient o.
such compliment, affords satisfaction in life fol
which there is no appropriate expression except to
labor on, and endsavor in the future to repay the
confidence of the past. Accept, gentlemen, our
most grateful acknowledgements

Cranberry Culture.

Mr.. Sullivan Bates, of Bellngham, Nor
folk county, Massachusetts, who has had a
great deal of experience in the raising of
cranberries, and who keeps the plants for
sale, gives the following directions i'll re-
gard to
Soil, PROPAGATION, MANAGEMENT, &c.
Having tested the plants thoroughly in all
kinds of soils, we have no particular choice
in their selection. We know of no kind
of soil in which they would not be likely
to DO well, if managed according to our
method. We should not choose a perfect
clay soil, that is extremely liable to bake,
nor perfect sand containing no power of
vegetation.
In extensive field culture the Bell Gran
berry flourishes well in soils varying from
moist to dry. No great degree of moist
ure is necessary, provided it is more or
less uniform. And soil that the Straw
berry can be grown into advantage is well
adapted to the growth of this plant, but
no animal or vegetable manure should be
used, as the fruit draws most of its nour-
ishment from the atmosphere. The vines
propagate by runners, like the Strawberry
and will flourish in almost any soil and 10
cation, under good management. Where
the land is rich and liable to grass and
weeds, We prepare the ground by remov
ing the top soil at sufficient depth to pre-
vent their growth. This may be easily
done, by blowing the sod, and removing
the top soil in carts or otherwise. The OBJ
ject in doing this, is to make the soil so
poor that nothing will grow to obstruct the
growth of the Cranberry plants, bearing
this in mind, that | am fully satisfied, from
long experience in the business, that the
Cranberry derives It's nourshment only
from the air and moisture:
If the land is poor SO that the grass and
weeds will not vegetate, then it may be
plowed and narrowed without other prepa-
ration. the greatest object in cultivation be-
ing to have the plants placed in poor soil
or to render it 50 by removing the top soil,
by filling up, or by any other process. If
these rules are followed, there is no diff
Guilty whatever in their cultivation
Persons having garden of moderate
size, and wishing to raise their own Gram
berries of a superior quality, can do so by
obtaining a few plants, and with small
amount of labor, at the commencement,
will find their cultivation both easy and
profitable
