THE WORKING MAN.

The noblest men know on earth,
Are men whose hands are brown with toi
Who, backed by no ancestestrai graves,
Hew down the wood, and till the soil;
And win thereby prouder name
Than follows kings or wArriors' fAms.
The working men, what 'cr the task,
Who carve The stone, or bear the bod,
They bear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal Of God;
And wor,hier are their drops OF sweat
Than diamonds in coronet.
God bless the noble working men.
Who rear the cities of the plain,
Who dig the mines, who buiid The ships,
And drive the commerce OF the main;
God bless them for their tofling hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands.

Fifty Dollars Premium offered for
the Best Article on the Culture
Of the Sugar Cane.
From the Southern oultivator. ]

We find in the back volumes of
the Southern Cultivator very little
practical information on the manage
ment of Sugar plantations. Every
other Southern staple has been treat.
ed Of again and again. To supply
this deficiency, and add to the inter
est of his journal, the publisher offers
PRIZE OF FIFTY DOLLARS, for the
most practical original article on the
subject suitable for the columns of the
Cultivator, to be placed in the hands
of such committee as he shall Sc.
lect, by the first of December next.
The award will thereupon be made,
and the money paid on the first Of
January.
Omitting historical and other irrel-
evant matters, the article must give,
in clear but condensed style, full
details of the best mode of prepare
ton of the soil, planting, cultivating
and saving the cane, preserving the
seed-cane for planting, grinding, de-
faeation of the juice, and its manu-
facture into syrup and sugar on a
large scale for market, and also in
smaller quantities for family use. In
short, it is to give in detail what it
is necessary for an outsider to know,
in order to understand the process of
Sugar Manufacture and Cane grow
ing. The article may occupy from
six to sixteen pages of the Southern
Cultivator. 1t is understood that if
no article is offered of sufficient merit
before the time proposed, the offer
will remain standing. All articles
offered, whether accepted or not, be-
come the property of the proprietor
of the Cultivator, and those of most
merit, will be published therein, and
the paper sent one year to the au-
thors. VIM. N. WHITE.
