DUTY AND DEATH

DUTY AND DEATH.

Or when We use false shifts to bring about
Ends otherwise all good, or when our hearts
Are in the heaping up of cumbrous wealth,
We tremble for our safety and fear death,
Lest it should come between US and our heaps,
Let fall the cloak that blinded our false shifts,
Or take US from the luxury of sense
But in our highest walks where duty leads,
Not falteringly in doubt but to the right,
Pressing still onward then is life itself
Sunk in the right, and asks no separate care.
If right be quilted in death, duty leaps in,
With eye full on the right but blind to death.
The SOULS integrity we buy with life,
And hold ourselves the gamers yet in life
We had not after that. where were the gain

ATTENTION, FARMERS Once or twice
within the last twelve months we have
thrown out the suggestion IL Uur farmers,
that if they would devote portion OF their
attention to the cultivation Of Broom-corn,
they would not only find tia profitable crop,
but get ready sale, in Alexandra, i"r any
quantity they might raise. But lew ~
them, if any, We believe. have prohted
by the suggestion, doubling, possibly, rs
correctness and not wishing to make the
experiment. As there may be some who
have come TO that conclusion, We Will cite
an instance, to prove the truth OF what We
have said for their benefit Last year, Mr..
Jacob Haight. Of Fairfax county, Sowcd
from an acre to an acre aud Z quarter ~
Broom-corn, cultivating it but little during
the season. In the Fall he gathered the
crop, took it TO Alexandria, and sold II TO-
the firm Of Herring 4 Evans for $50. lie
also had about forty bushels Of seed, worth
80 cents per buShel, or $50 for the whole
MAKING 500 as the sum realized Tor the
crop. lie was asked by those gentlemen,
how much corn he could have raised on the
same quantity Of ground, and his answer
was. not more than eight barrels, which
would have commanded about 81 70 SD
This statement may surprise some 81 our lar
merS. but il Is nevertheless true, ana II they
will make the experiment themselves, they
will doubtless find il out to their own salts
faction. Messrs. Herring 4 Evans have ~
extensive Broom and Wilowware Factory
in Alexandria, and are ready e purchase
any quantity Of Broom-corn that may be
raised. 49, WaIrentoH Floy.
