OLD FRIENDS.

Oh, time is sweet when roses meet,
With springs sweet breath around them;
And sweet the cost when hearts are lost,
If those we love have found them;
And sweet the mind that still can fad
A star in darkest weather,
But nought'can be SO sweet to see,
As cid friends met together.
Those days Of old, when youth was bold,
And time stole wings to speed it,
And you ne'er knew how fast time flew,
Or knowing, did not heed it;
Though grey each brow that meets US now,
For age brings wntry weather,
Yet nought can be so sweet to see
As those old friends together.
The few, long known, whom years have shown
With hearts that friendship bessas;
A hand to cheer, perchance tear,
To soothe friends disiIesses;
Who helped md tried still side BY side,
A friend 10 face hard weather;
., this may we yet JOY 10 see,
And meet old friends together.

CHINESE S uGAR CANE.

We have received small pamphlet, pub
lished BY Mr.. VIM. Glaze, Of Columbia, S.
&. giving an account Of experiments and
observations upon the Chinese Sugar Cane.
The first part comprises experiments and
observations, made with view of determin-
ing its value as sugar producing plant, by
Joseph Lowering, Of Oakhill. Pennsylvania.
From seven experiments, which are stated
minutely, he makes the following differences
|. That il is obvious that there is culmi
mating point in the development Of the SUI
gar 10 the cane, which is the best time for
sugar making. This point or season consider
to be, when most if not all the seeds are ripe,
and after several frosts-say when the tenn,
perature falls to 25a or 509 Fereinheit.
2. That frost, or even hard freezing, does
not injure the juice nor the sugar; but that
warm Indian summer weather, after the frost
and hard freezing, does injure them very
materially, and reduces both quantity and
quality.
3. That if the cane is cut and housed, Of
shocked in Tie field when in its most favora :
BILE condition. il will probably keep punchang.
ed for long time.
4. That when the juice is obtained, the pro-
cess should proceed continuously and with
out delay.
5. That the clarification should be as per-
feet as possible by the time the density
reaches l5' Reaume, the syrup having the
appearance Of good brandy.
8. That although eggs were nsed in these
small experiments, on account Of their con
,enience, bulock's blood, IL 10 be had, i.
equally cool and the milk Of lime alone will
answer the purpose ; in the latter case. how.
ever, more constant aud prolonged skimming
will be required to produce perfect clsrif
cation. which Is highly important.
:. That the concentration, or boiling down
after clariication. should be as rapid pos.
sible without scurchlng-shalow eysporatOr,
being the best.
Whit these conditions secured, it is abnu
as easy 10 make guod sugar from The Chimes,
cane as TO make po. Of mush, and mncl
easier than 10 make a kettle Of good appl,

Non-Resident Owners In the West.

There is justice in the following complaint
of western traveller through Minnesota. The
fact which it detlorcs is great obstacle to
the material development and social comfort
of many Of the best sections Of the western
country.
"a great deal Of the country through
which We passed (near Anoka) is owned by
parties living east, and sometimes several
miles intervene between one house and anoth-
err This land was bought up ak years ago
by spectators, and the consequence is that
not a tenth part Of it is settled and cultivated.
Why do not the people memorable Congress
to pass a law that no United States lands
shall be sold at public Gale until at least ten
years have elapsed after their survey? This
system of selling large quantities OF land to
men who hold it until the settlers around
have made improvements, aud thus euhanc-
ed the value of the surrounding property, is
a curse to the country, and no government
protesting to be Democratic ought to permit
such state Of things to exist, because 1t
benefits the rich Spectator at the expense OF
the Door settler"

The Petersburg Express says; Two youths

Spring on the Richmond and Peters burg
Railroad, yesterday afternoon, when, for u
change Of su! ject, one of them offered To bet
the other a dollar that he could let the train

tanning any injury. The wager was accepted
by the other more for the purpose OF diScos-
ering the ruse than believing the experiment
would he tried, when the proposing party
cOcly ensconced himself il the cow pit some

around the curve. The last car had no SOON

bled out and commenced a breakdown dance
that would have done credit to jim Crow, ac-
companied with screeching yell that Kick

locomotive, in passing over the cow-pit had
accidenuy dropped some Gifts surplus clnders
from the ash pan, which fell red hot over the
head and shoulders OF the ambitious adventu'
rer, and a few big sparks finding their way
down his back, produced the antics aud yeIs

very evident, Notwithstanding the reluctance
With which he ''fJrked over" 1t has no

Right TO n Guano Island.

The Emperor of Hayti, is said by the New
York Times, to have granted to a merchant
of Kingston, Jamaica. the right to the guanO
upon the Island Vi Nevassa. Nevassa 1t will
be bered is paltry islet to the south OF
Aux Caves; which, until recently was unit
habited. Some Americans discovering its
value as a guano deposit, resJrted tbither un-
der the auspices Of Baltimore capitalists, and
commenced loading the guano. Soulouque,
learning this movement, dispatched some
war vessels to the island, where were found
a d., zen Americans, aud score of mulattos
aud blacks, busily engaged in removing the
deposits to a couple OF vessels. The Hay
tien officers were politely received; and hav-
ing protested against the American occu-
patton and run up the imperial flag, sail
ed away to Port-au-Prince, leaving the whites
to prosecute their labors. 1t is feared that
when the Kingston speculator proceeds to
take possession, backed by o Haytien force,
trouble may ensue, resulting eventually 10
diplomatic difficulties with the government
of the United States.
