FQETRY. [From the Louisville Journal.] Fallen Qenina BY J. R. BARRY. Fame inscribed his name in glory. On hor bright immortal page, Aud his deeds in song and story Will survive the dying age. Genius, with the hues of heaven, Stamped her image on his heart, And the soul of thought was given To the spirit of his art. Friends he had, who loved him dearly, In the promise of his youth : Parents, too, whose precepts early Taught him wisdom, love and truth. Naught had dimmed his high hopes, ever Rising upward from his breast; Naught had chilled his heart?no, never? Naught but made it more than blest. Bards and sages loved his preseneo l*,re his morning sun s eclipse ; And his praise spoke in each sentence, Falling gently from their lips, Wisdom from her height descended, On his noble brow to smile ; And the light of learning blended With the spirit's light the while. Hope, above his path, hath woven Summer skies of golden hue ; And as yet, to him, each token Of her promises were true. Love and friendship long united, In his heart together grew ; And that love was early plighted To a maiden fond and true. All that life most fondly treasures, All the bliss that thought can yiuld, All the rainbow?tinted pleasures Culled from fancy's fruitful field? These, and more than these, were given To his radiant soul to share? To his soul, which seemed from heaveu All its attributes to heir. But there came an hour when error Wooed his wayward heart and won ; And that hour, with woo nnd terror, Darkened all life's future sun. Need that error's name be spoken In the burning words of fire. Since it widowed hearts hath broken, Saddening soul nnd harp and lyre? Then his name of fame nnd glory, Once embalmed in measured song, Sounded like a mournful story, Writ in tears of grief nnd wrong. And by adverse tempests driven, Passed he through his latest hours, Like a tree by rude winds riven Of his foliage and his flowers. AGRICULTURAL. Appeal in Behalf of the Farmer and Planter. Messrs Editors .Will you allow me the use of yonr columns for the purpose of iuvoking the aid of the farmers and Planters of the country in support of the valuable paper which you publish. Having no connection with the. Farmer and Planter, and kuowing well that your devotion to the cause of agriculture alone induced you to euibark in the enterprise, I feel that I may with propriety urge upon the friends of the cause to give you such a support as will indemnify you for the labor bestowed upon your paper. It is startling to loam that the agriculturists of the country are so indifferent as to snffer a paper devoted with zeal and ability to their interests, to languish for want of encouragement, when a mere pittance from each would place it in a flourishing condition ami on permanent basis. Can it be posible brother farmers, that when informed of this fact, we will not make an effort, separately and unitedly, to place the Farmer and Planter, which is a valuable source of information and a medium of intercommunication among ourselves, upon a footing of security and independence.? Have we not pride enough to support a paper devoted exclusively to our own interest? or are we willing to be dependent for our information of agricultural progress, and experiment of such notices as may occasionally be gleaned from the political papers? Shall it be said, that for the sake of saving a dollar a year, we arc willing to shut out from our view the great improvements which the application of science to agriculture is daily bringing forth ! I trust not.? What then is our duty? I.ct every one who values the. importance of information, and desires to keep up with the improvements of the age, bestir himself in the cause, and send up additional subscribers to the Farmer and Planter, and prove that he is not careless of the pursuit from which he derives his support. Ix-t every one put his shoulder to the wheel and give our worthy friends the Editors proper encouragement and the means to improve their paper, and the energy and ability will not be wanting on their port. We now have it in our power to establish permanently an agricultural paper among us. email 11 rail Irora neglect, and our farmers be eompolled to look to other periodicals for their information? It will bo a shame upon us if such is the cose. The weekly exchanges of tho Fanner and planter will confer a favor on the subscriber Dy copying the abovo.? Correspondent of the Farmer and Planter. How to Measure an Acre, "Lund?30i squnre rods mnke a square rood ; 4 square roods make one ncre; 610 acres make ono square mile; 4819 square yards or 157 rods make one acre. In mensimnrr an ?/??? W... ?-?1- *' * * * uy juruH. me usual practice is j to trace off 79 yards in length und 79 yards in width ; this as a rough way may be considered near enough for practical purposes, but as 79 yards either way make 4999 square yards. To determine an accurate sere, it should be measured 78 yards in length by 66 1-7 yards in breadth. The same result may be arrived at by measuring 299 feet in length and 196 feet in width, or by measuring yards in length by 66 yards in breadth." We pnblish the above, which we see go, Ing the rounds in some of our exchanges, in order to point out its inaccuracies. In an acre there are 4840 square yards or 160 rods, instead of "4819 yards or 157 rods," as above stated. 79 yards or 210 feet square, 44 (usually called the planters acre) is much not nearer correct then 79?for 70 * 70=4900 "bu but even this is 60 square yards over an a- fori ere. In order to ascertain the exact length ? of the side of a square acre, in yards, the say square root of 4840 must be taken, which is chai 69.57 yards, nearly. If it is required to lay nail off an acre in a parolelogram or oblong had form, divide 4840 by the length of the side hen in yards and the quotient is the end. For alor instance, suppose a field, the side of which woi is 484 yards long, it is desired to know how met many yards in width will make an acre (this beti we frequently wish to know when c >m- niei meneing to sow wheat or other small grain, to n in orucr "io geiour nana in J then you have had only to divide 1840 by 484, and the result foui is 10?so you must measure ten yards across to t for an acre. Or, by the same rule, if you to c have the width of the end and desire the fast length, then divide by the end and you have thei the side. Again, "78 yards in length by was OG.1-7 in breadth." 78 x GO. 1-7-= 5159.1-7 which 310.1-7 too much. An acre contains bad 435G0 square feet, the square root of which free is a fraction over 1208.7 feet for each side, disc Or 222,25, nearly, by 10G, instead of 220 by cou 10G, as above ; or 66 by 73. jl yards, instead torn of 6G by 78.1 The article above set out in "bo error and so continues with but two exeep- ?1 t tions, viz: 4 roods 1 acre, and 610 acres 1 that mile.

T 8Pr" Hut as I eonsidor wagers very foolish ? . J wcr things, not to say wicked, 1 will only ask , you if it is not as 1 say. At any rate, little t Helen Peck could not understand the mat- * tor at all, and though she knew her mamma j I was kind in every thing else?she thought it ^ very unreasonable indeed, that she should I be required to take so much pains with her , ? n "for needle. | . ^ Basting will do just as well as anything, j for dolly"?she said. But Mrs. Peek was of j ' . I ? the opinion that there Were other things in ] the world of quite as much importance as Lulu, the doll. i , w r? i 1 ' foil' Mrs. Peek was very economical iii one ' thing?Time. Kconomicul is a long word. ' and means careful, not to waste the mate- ^ rial, whatever it may be. We say a person J is economical with money, when he makes a little answer a great many purposes ; and ' does not throw it way on tritlos that are w ns unnecessary. This was Mrs. Peck's plan of 1 economy, as she explained it to Catherine, 'I'" I lelen's nurse, when she first came to sweet- " , i .. .. lost hriur Collage. "Suppose, Catharine, 1 had ten dollars to , .... . i ^ .. and shop with this morning, and four or live . to purchase things. If I went into a store without any forethought, and bought just j what I had a fancy for, no matter at what ' you price, I might find my purse empty, and not half my purchase made. ^ "But, if 1 said before I went?Here are ^ ten dollars. I can afford to give two for a or ; dress for Misa Helen. One for a hair brush. Seventy-five cents for a pair of scissors? twenty-five cents for tape. Three for linen, j loo aud then I shall have three left for things 1 do not think of now. That would ho spending so as not to waste my money. " Now every day has twelve hard working hours. If I waste two in bed, I cannot afford to give one to my bath and toilette, and so shall begin the day badly. But, if | I rise at six, with every hour appropriated J to its own business, I can get through a j great deal that is necessary and have a little : time for recreation.'' Catherine liked Mrs. Pecks plan very j OKI* much, and followed it; hut little Helen | thought it was a groat bothor to be so strict. She had school hours, and play I ? I hours, plenty of the last, to keep her bright j and active. But the sowing! that was worse ; Dl h than two of geography lessons together! So it chanced that Miss Helen was left one j afternoon to sew up two long seams in a night dress for her baby sister. They seemed very long to her.?but she could easily have finished them in the time allowed by her mamma, who had then promised to tako her on a visit she was going to pay. Mrs. Pecks sitting room was very pleasant. Almost too pleasant that fine summer day for the wandering thoughts of tho little seamstress. There were long casement win dows, that folded back, letting in u whole flood of sunshine, and perfume from the clematis and white rose bush that grew so strong and tull by the side of the porch. And there was the hedge of sweet briars, from which the cottage had its name, and . the butternut tree, making such long shiulowson the lawn, 'dike lady fingers"?f'atliarine said. nia'' Helen began to think how very much Lulu would enjoy n walk around the garden. The poor doll was in wretched health, having broken un arm, in a late fall A to the pavement while taking an airing. Be- JTa sides she was extremely pale, owing perhaps j ^ that the baby having taken a fancy to kiss all the paint from her chunks, about tho j ( same time. Helen looked at Lulu, propped up hy one of the cushions of tho chints lounge, and cauio to the conclusion that all ! the poor thing wanted wan a change of Mr. Helen had been at school all the morning, ( and Catharine did not have charge of I/ulu, in the baby's doily drives in the wicker carriage. That is since the unfortunate mishap ^ we have referred to. No wonder Helen K found the seem l<mg. ma If it only did not look so endless I should mind it so much," she said to herself, t how can 1 ever expect to finish it bc5 mamma comes hack ?" !o "she walked around it"?as people several limes. Hunted for her thimble, nged her thread and needle twice, and fiy began to work in good earnest. She hit upon a charming expedient to delude self into the belief that she was getting ig fast. Every inch that she sowed, rIic ild break of her thread ; and then cornice further on, leaving the same space vecn. It was quite a bother to recomico so often, but that she did not seem niml.as it was her own idea. If any one ordered her to do it, she would have ad it extremely hard. Then shq came i.~ 1 ~ r *t... .* I a _ J t if* iic eiiu ui me scum ai lasijiuin nciu u lip ongratulate herself on getting along so . This took five minutes, at least, and i she stopped so see if Lulu's pink frock mended. She had forgotten to r.sk her her for a hit more like it. That was too As she had set her heart on the pink k, she went hack to her work somewhat ontentedly; to till up the spaces. Of rse. the thread had to be securely fas d, and as Miss Helen was quite careless lit knots, you can imagine the neatness lie seem. Resides this took so long, : she was not half through when her nma returned. As she was '-filling up" and there, Mrs. l'eck thought she was rly through, hut finding Helen take azigc on rse her curiosity was awakened. .s may he imagined, she did not approve liis style of embroidery by any means, i*hat with the knots, and "joining on," seam was hard enough to give the baby in in its side.
