"mHE SINE QUA NOM


That arithout rhich a thing liz not, is Cd"sa Si"e
Qua Non.
When Adam was stationed in Eden's fair bower,
The lord of the beast the bird and the flower,
He exclaim'd tho creation my sceptre may own,
10 happiness still there's SINE qua non,
Oh! sine qua aon, sine qua non,
To happiness still there's sine qua non.
Then Deity pitied the creature he made,
And sent in compassion elp-mate and aid;
From Adam, while sleeping he plucked out bone,
And formed of the rib the sine qua non,
OH sine qua non, SC.
Oh then laugh d the landscape and garden around
And man, blest with beauty, true happiness tound'
What our ancestor did oil his children have done,
And ,coman is still the sweet sine qua non,
Oh sine qua non, &c.
The parson will hammer and stammer all day,
That life's joys are Aeeting, and man is but clay
Still, though not recorded in Mark, Luke John,
He sticks to the tert Of the sine qua non,
Oh! sine qua non, &c.
The lawyer who labors and sweats in his cause,
And puzzles his brain in expounding the laws,
Quits the forum with joy, and, without pro or con-
Finds precedent pat in the sine qua non,
Oh! sine qua non, &c.
The judges are thoughtful, and learned and wise,
For nought save the docket have they any eyes,
But when business is over, they oil hasten on
To finish the circnit with the sine qua non,
Oh! sine qua non, SC.
Oh! tell US, ye heirs of Hyppocrates skill,
Ye men of the mortar, the pestle and pill,
What drop can encrimson the cheek pale and wan,
Like the dew from the lips Of the sine qua non,
Oh! sine qua non, SC.
The poet may sing of the charms of thelyre,
Of Helicon's fount and Promethean fire,
Though his music surpasses the Mantuan swan,
Yet what is it all to the sine qua non7
Oh! sine qua non, SC.
Then FIJI up bumper-let's drink to the smile,
That sorrow, misfortune, and care can beguile;
In lifes chequered path may we gaily move on
Ever cheer'd by the love of the sine qua non,
Oh! sine que non, sine qua non,
Ever cheer'd by the love, of the sine qua non.

bad season Or other cause, has been quite
small, this cutting may be deferred till the
following spring.) Each root will now throw
up several strong shoots, and on rich soil,
where the plants are vigorous, Mr.. McGrew
recommends that these shoots should all be
cut off about the middle of June, within
three inches of the ground, but we think on
ordinary soils the growth will not be so strong
as to render this cutting advisable before
the next season, and the roots were strength
ened by allowing the tops to remain when it
can as we'll be done.
The serond cutting should be down to
within two or three inches of the first, Cor
the ground and here is where most person
have erred heretofore. The shoots are so
strong and numerous that the owner thinks
it is loss of valuable material to cut all off
so close; but experience fully proves that, to
spare the hnifc is 10 poilMe hcdgc.
The Mird cutting should be done about
the middle of June, (supposing the second
was done in Spring. or as soon as the young
shoots are about two feet high. Take pair
of edge.shears or Dutch sickle, and cut
all off even, to within three or four inches
of the former cutting, or about six inches
from the ground. This will cause a very
dense growth of lateral, filling up the space
between the plants and covering the sides
with shoots and leaves quite down to the
ground; and in no other way but by this
midsummer pruning can a perfect founda'
ton be secured. The neglect of this point
has been one chief cause of failure in former
years.
Tile tourh cutting should be thefollowine
spring, down again to within 5 or 6 inches
of the former cut; and again in June give
the ftM cutting, adding only about six inch
es more to the height, and taking care tc
give the hedge proper shapc-a wide base
at the ground, shortening none but the
longest of the lower side branches, and
narrowing towards the top like a roof of q
house.
Repeat the trimmings the next springand
midsummer in the same way, only little
more height may be allowed each time, IF a
perfect close base has Jeen serured--not
otherwise BY the end of the fourth year,
if on good soils, the hedge will be able to af.
ford some protection, as we'll as present
beautiful appearance. In trimming now il
should be given handsome conical shape,
the base about four feet in width, afterwards
to be increased to five feet,) and narrowing
to the top like a sugar loaf; taking care tc
clip the sides as well as the top evenly al
the spring and midsummer prunings.
After the fifth or sixth year the growth o.
the hedge will begin to be much slower, SC
that one trimming each year will be sufi
cicnt-but this must always be sufficiently
close to prevent the hedge from becoming
too high and wide A short bush sythe i:
found by most persons convenient imple
mcnt for trimming hedges; but some prefer
good sickle, and others use common corr
cutter, with a straight blade about two fee
in length, made quite sharp. With eithe
tool the work can be done quite rapidly afte
little practice. They have machines fo'
trimming hedges by. horsepower in some
parts of inois.-adiana Farmer.

The WASHINGTON SPECTATOR.

VVNHE SPECTATOR Is PRINTED IN THE
Il Quarto form, on double royal sheet Of supe-
rior paper; and is devoted to bellies lettres, and
scientific and miscellaneous intelligence. The
aim of the publisher is to make it welcome visi-
tor to ever household, where sound knowledge and
correct moral sentiment can be appreciated
With this view he eschews all the senseless twad-
die, under the name ofliterature, which serves on
ly to beguile idle moments; and strives to confne
the matter of the SPECTATOR, to that which will
leave useful impressions on the minds of its read
ers. Besides large weekly amount of matter ap-
propriate to papers purely literary the SPECTA-
TOR contains summaries Of government doings in
Congress and the Executive Departments the
important news Of the day, foreign and domestic;
reviews of finance and markets; notices Of new
books, new discoveries in art and science; new
inventions, including weekly list Of patents is
sued from the Patent Office; articles on education;
on agriculture, business and domestic economy;
and candid essays upon the leading topics of the
day.
Though entertaining for themselves decided
views on questions of political economy and relig-
ious belief, the editors do not purpose to give to
the paper partizan or sectarian character
The discussion of these subjects they leave for pa
pers established for such purpose. At the same
time they reserve to themselve the right to expose
ahu W oPPoSS piSotiy nhu
in all forms and of offering, when they deem oc-
casion to require it, their opinions and reasons
therefor seperate questions involving the inte-
rests and vested rights Of the people among whom
we are located, without thereby subjecting them
selves to charge of violating any pledge.
One of the editors (Nlr. Hayne, will remain for
the present, and probable spend most Of his time,
at his residence in Charleston s. c., an arrange
ment we think, better enabling him to furnish
matter of local interest to that section Of the Un
ion, and affording some convenience to our friends
and those whom we hopo to have for patrons, in
that vicinity.
