Poetry, its cause and effect

III ITcS country line tfiiSj Of-
cry man almost, when he is in
love, writes what he terms poe
try. Cupid's flame enkindles
all that is ignitible in the human
composition, and if the Sewanee
of genius represent, or the char
coal of talent, itsoon gives forth
the natural evidences of the in
ternal combustion. The latter
blazes up in ftful CLEANS Of
verse addressed to the object of
passionate, though perhaps Of
but momentary idolatry;;- thefor-
mer finds vent in the intense out
pourings of touching eloquence
clothed in the poetic garb mere
ly for convenience-in the beau
tiful imagery, the delicacy of
thought and felicitous play of
fancy, which enchant all who
can comprehend the divine in
spiration. 'cPoets are born, not
made" because love is sponta-
neous and not the result of in
struction; and the truth of this
expression is as evident now, in
the flood of romantic sentiment
set in rhyme that mandates the
periodical literature of the day,
as when it was first penned.-
Some Of the magazines publish
trash, it is true, because it can
be had gratuitously. Others
take it in a slightly more per-
feet state, and pay a price for it,
because it has a popular name
attached to it. But by far the
best may be found floating like
waits upon the ocean of our
weekly literature, filling up some
vacant nook, hiding in some cor
ner, only drawn from obscurity
by some mind Of taste, which,
collecting these fragmentary
bits of genius, occasionally holds
up a sample to the children of
Mammon for their admiration.
IA We regret to learn that
our old friend Amos Hurley,
Esq, formerly of the vicinity
of Boons Hill in this county,
died on Friday last, about five
miles from Nashville, on the
Murfreesboro pike, of exhaust
ion and heart disease. Whilst
out walking, he fell, and al
though assistance was promptly
rendered, he died in a few min
utes. He was about 80 years
of age. We knew him long,
and esteemed him for his strict
integrity, his affability of de-
pertinent, and his generous i'm
pulses.
~ We have received, since
the foregoing was put in type, a
letter from a friend, giving the
following additional particulars:
yesterday morning, the 18th, |
he was quite well, and conclu-
ded to visit a friend a short dis
lance in the country, and as
was his wont, would walk, Gas
he said he needed the exercise
He had only gone a short dis
lance, when he fell dead with
heart disease. He had lived for
fifty years on Swan Greek, in
Lincoln county. He only lacked
thirty days of being eighty years
old at the time of his DEATH
He has been a consistent MEM
der of the Primitive Baptist
Church for many years, He
was never drunk, never swor e
a profane oath, never bet a cent
in his life. His remains were
taken to Lincoln county for in
terment."

Agricultural.



Mcssrs Editors III was very much sur
prscd at the side The Wails6eld farmer
took, in discussing the question Of farmers
profits, in the WArcuMAS Of November
10Th.
lie says there are but Eve farmers in
town that do not claim the privilege Of
taking out some portion Of their stock for
debts. But are there not more than five
farmers in Waitsfeld that own their farms
and stock, clear Of debit If it was known
just as it is, am confident that one third
of the farmers Of Wakefield could own
their farms and stock clear Of debt.
lie says, " If the bottom Of farming has
not dropped out, it is well started" Now
| know Of young man that bought farm
last spring, aud has been offered one thou
sand dollars more for it this fall than he
gave last spring, and has not laid out one
dollar for improvements. This is an cx-
ceptional case, AMI so is the one Of which
the Waitsdeld farmer speaks, trust
A farmer in this town sold sixty-ihree
sheep "a little more than half Of them
ewes, at about IS per head They we're
common Mcrino sheep Another farmer
sold, from about the same grade Of sheep,
$50 worth of lambs from thirty.one
ewes They went for mutton. know Of
several farmers that sell $50 worth of
butter, cheese aud calves per COW in one
year.
Does this look as if the bottom Of farm
ing has started? | beg leave to differ
with the farmer from Waits6eId, and say
think the bottom Of farming has not started,
aud that the farmers, as a class, are pros
porous, and that you will dnd more true
happiness among them than any other class

Charcoal a good Farm Medicine.

Nearly all sick horses and COWS are made
so in the first place by eating improper food
or too much Of it. As soon as the owner
finds any Of his animals sick, it is the com.
mon custom to begin dosing with medicine.
We mustn't leave the animal to die we
must do something" aud so all manner of
hurtiul drugs and poisons are thrust down
the throat-saltpetre, copperas, turpentne,
etc, sufficient TO make any well animal
sick, or kill a sick one. "You didn't give
the poor thing enough-you should have
given it oitener--you can't expect your
beast to get well if you don't do more
for it,"
Our rule has always been to give moth.
ing unless we knew exactly what to do I;
and in the meantime attend to every exte.
rior comfort practicable. If the weather
is cold, place it 10 warm quarters, avoid all
exposure, and attend to pure air and strict
cleanliness. But there is one medicine that
can never do harm, and is commonly bene.
fetal. This is pulverized charcoal. As we
have just remarked, nearly all sick animals
become 50 by improper eating, in the first
place. In nine cases out Of ten, the diges-
tion is wrong. Charcoal is the most eff
cient and rapid corrective. 1t will cure in
u majority Of cases, if properly admins
tered. An example Of its use The hired
man came in with the intelligence that one
OF the finest COWS was very sick and a
kind neighbor proposed the using of drugs
and poisons. The owner being III, and un-
able to examine the COW, concluded that the
trouble came from some oyereating, and
ordered teacupful Of pulverized charcoal
given in water. II was mixed, placed in
junk bottle, the head held upwards, and
the water with its charcoal pured down
wards. In i've minutes improvement was
visible, and in a few hours the animal was
in the pasture quietly eating grass.
Another instance Of equal success oc.
Cured with young heifer which became
badly bloated by eating green apples after
a bard wind. The bloat was so severe that
the sides were almost as hard as a barrel.
The old remedy, saleratus, was tried for the
purpose Of correcting the acidity. But the
attempt to put it down always caused
coughing, and it did little good. Half a
teacupful of fresh powdered charcoal was
next given. Ia six hours all appearance
OF that had gone, and the heifer was well.
We disapproye ofquackery, where with.
out a precise knowledge OF the disease
powerful remedies are given at random,
.ndiscriminately. The objection of auack.
nycannot extend to the use Of charcoal,
for II can do no harm, and goes directly TO
theseat Of the trouble in most sick ami.
mails, and ii timely applied effects cure"

Many persons suppose that salt is not
really necessary to the health and condition
OF any domestic animals, but such opinions
are, however, erroneous. The use Of com.
mon salt in our food, and in that of the
lower animals, is not mere matter Of
choice or Of taste,--it is q necessary condi.
ton of animal existence. Hence, it is a
wise provision that, like that equally iudis.
pensable substance, water, salt is to be
found all over the globe; existing, eape-
cially, in large proportion in the waters Of
great oceans, as well as on the land, in solid
strata Of rock salt and dissolved in greater
or less quantity in the waters Of springs.
Near the sea coast OF on sea islands, out.
door stock may find the air impregnatcd
with salt, all sufficient, but in the interior
upands it is not possible to keep stock il

Instead Of handfus of fine salt scattere,

such intervals Of time as may suit the ca
price Of keepers large Jumps of crude rocI
salt should be placed about the fields, from
which the animals may help themselves a
will by licking as instinct teaches then
their system may require for the proserva
ton Of health. There is good sense, econ
omy-mayhap, safety in this arrangement
Having at all times access to these sail

crate desire, even if the unyielding natur,
Of these crude Jumps did not prevent con

held the needed supply, the inordinate GRAY
ing leads to consumption to excess thirst

that salt at all to use with breeding ami

These crude Jumps of rock salt will la,

1t is stated, on the authority of a
German naturalist, that the ovary of a
hen contains about six hundred and twenty
embryo eggs, about twenty of which are
matured the first year of the hens life one
hundred and twenty the second, one hun
dred and thirty.fve the third, one hundred
and fourteen the fourth, with an annual de.
crease Of twenty for the next four years,
If the statement is based on truth, the
value Of hen as an egg-produccr rapidly
decreases after she has passed her fifth
birthday-at which time she should be sold
for "spring chicken"

A Local knowledge Of Farming.

There are truths that apply to all s)ils.
But there are also truths-and they are
many that apply only to localities, and
these differ according to locality. Hence
book knowledge has only general appl-
cation There mast be a knowledge of the
particular soil worked. This can only be
acquired by practically working the
soil and noting its effects. Analysis will
acquant US with the material Of which the
soil is composed. Yet there is something
besides this that is important; some Of
this is known, and some is entirely in the
dark. Who knows, for instance, what
causes the superior quality Of tobacco
raised in some soils apparently the same as
the contiguous land, which produces an
inferior kind This is common in the ISL
aud of Cuba, where our best tobacco is
grown; also an inferior quality So, emf
uently, with grapes The same grape does
much better in some sections--this often in.
dependent of the climate. The grape (some
sorts) will also grow thrifty but bear little
in some sections; in others do remarkable
well, improving the quality. There is some
element unknown that has an effect All
this, and much more that might be said on
this head, shows that a soil, in order to
know its capacity, must be tested. Hence
a local knowledge of farming is indispensa.
bic to success Books point only in
general way. A complete science of agri-
culture requires a knowledge Of all the 10.
calities, as science is the result of knowl.
edge. 1t will therefore be seen how much
there is to do for the farmer-he must rely
upon himself, see and note accurately. !
have seen this beautifully illustrated in
cases that know Of. Only the best heads
are the best farmers and these not neces.
sarily the best educated, but always and
necessarily those having the best acquain-
lance with their soil. The two, local and
general knowledge, combined. are the
highest requisite. Then thorough work,
and success is assured making farming a
safe, profitable thing, as well as a very
pleasant aud agreeable occupation.
