Annabel Lee.
I BY EDOAR A. FOE.
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sen,
That a maiden there lived whom you may
know
By the uamc of Annabel Leo;
And this maiden sho lived with no other
thought
Than to love and be loved by mc.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more
than love,
I nnd Annabel Loe;
With n love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and tnc.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel I?ec;
So that her high-born kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre,
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so hnppy in heaven,
Went envying her and me?
Yes!?that was the reason,(as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea,)
That the wind came out of the cloud at night
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
*
But our love it was stronger by far than the
lovo
Of many far older than we?
Of mnny far wiser than we?
And neither the angels in henven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can over dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing
mo dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee ;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright
eyes
Of the beautiful Annnbel I-ce ;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the
side
Of my darling?my darling?my life and my
bride,
In the sepulchre thereby the sea.
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Air?uO! I should like to marry!'"
O! I shall never marry
For money, love or fun!
The men?Tom, Dick and Harry?
Are traitors every one.
They worship and cajole us
While maidens in our pride,
The surer to control us
When once the knot is tied.
Talk of a moon of noney,
Of roses and so forth!
Of making matrimony
A paradise on earth !
For such a mess of pottage
Her thraldom who would weaveI
ror love witliin a cottage
A palnce who could leave ?
I do not carc a copper
For sentiment and love;
ft may be very proper
For those who ape the dove.
But such a bird as I am,
Who roves as well as sings.
Has got (sometimes to try Vrn)
A brilliant pair of wings.
Then I shall never marry
For money, love or fun!
The men?Tt>m, Dick and Harry?
Are traitors every one.

A little liberty, m

An Unrecorded Incident of the Revolution.
At this season of the year?the recurrence
of the auuiversary of our national
Independence?our thoughts naturally
revert to the scenes and incideutn of that
thne, when the souls of men were tried,
There was, perhaps, no community more
sorely M tried," than that in the middle
part of Noith Carolina, in which Lord
Cornwallis had his head quarters for some
length of time; and cs the vicinage of
this great commander encouraged to deeds
of sensual recklessness and cruelty, the
Tory part of the citizens, it also stimulated
to rcnewod'ardor, and more faithful vigilance
the true and brave patriots nf
country. The congregation* of Alamance
and Dufluloc, under lite pastoral charge
of Dr. Caldwell, in Ouilford county, consisted
altogether of peraona of the latter
data; many of them served without pay,
ua volunteers, in various parte of the
country, and all the men able to bear
arms, were at some time or other?in fact
moat of the time?in service against the
Tories or the British. Among these men
was Colonel Daniel G A tiger in
war, true, brave and severe; and at one
f I L.
jn-rnxj ub commanded, as Captain, a company
of his neighbor*, fUo, with him,
had formed a voluntary patroll to watch
and ehaatiee the Torka in the surrounding
country.
One* on a tuna, this company of gallant
and sedate gentleman found themselves
in tjie vicinity of a mill-pond, on
% /
i
Deep River^omewhcre near the Randolph
and Chatham lino; and as the day was
intensely hot, the neighborhood quiet, and
tho water inviting, Captain G. and his men
bitched their horses on the margin of the
pond, and prepared for a bathe. In the
meantime, the First Lieutenant, (a brother
of the commander, equal in courage, but
more of a wag.) was sent with several
men to scout through the country, aud
hunt forage for the horses ; and this procaution
attended to, the major part of the
company, with their gallant leader, plunged
into tho water and began to enjoy
Ktinroltt o.?,l on* ?11
wwm.uvx w UU6V>J) nnvi vuu mi ovi w vt
aquatic capers. In the midst of their
pleasant sports, however, a pistol shot wns
heard, and another and another, in quick
succession; and in a moment after, there
were shouts and screams, and then came
galloping futiouoly hack Lieutenant G.
and his party, all in the wildest confusion,
and desperately spurring their horses.?
Almost in a twinkling the bold Captain
was in his saddle; and following his example,
some ran for their horses, while
some struggled vainly to jerk on a shirt,
or bundle up their unmentionables. There
was no time, however, for etiquette, or attention
to dress; old Captain G., sword
in hand, scolded and belabored, and perhaps
swore a little, riding hither and thither,
and sometimes with the point of his
weapon hastening, in doublo quick time,
the mounting ofhis men. And.so at last
he had them on horseback, in battle order,
and thus arrayed, some with only a shirt
between them and the blazing sun, some
with pants and no shirt, and some with a
cap nnd pair of spurs, and some in a state
of primitive nudity, the bold Captain himself
in the latter predicament, with a face
stem as that of Mars, gave the word to
inarch, and off they went at a brisk canter,
not an imposing array to look at, but a
desperate body to encounter. Just at this
moment the Lieutenant nnd his men,
burst into a wild peal of laughter; the
joke was instantly apparent to nil, but it
was near having a fatal termination. It
was well fbr the Lieutenant that ho was
tho Captain's brother; and it was well for
his party that ho had been at their head.
Even as it was, the laugh, for some time,
was all on one side, but after a while they
all gave into the merriment; and so, what
promised to be a bloody encounter, ended
in a glorious frolic.
Those stern, bravo men would have
their fun. l'eacc to their ashes, all, and
honor to their memory !?Ruleiyh Post.
An absent-minded editor having
courted a girl and applied to her futher,
tho old man said?
44 Well, you want my daughter?what
sort of a settlement will you make? What
j will you give her!"
"Give her," replied the other, looking
up vacantly, "O I'll give her a puff."
j "Take her," replied the father.

From the Southern Cultivator.
Large Yield of Turnip*..
At your request, I herewith *end you
my mode of culture of tho tumip.
I picked out a rich pice of bottom land
that had not been cleared. The laud was
densely covered with trees, cane, briers,
dec., dec. I put all hands to clearing it
about the 8tli of August, 1851?not leaving
a tree or bush, and burning all the
wood and brush on the land. As soon as
I got about six acres cleared, I made
three of ray strongest fellows, with three
mules and scooter plows, break up tho
land. As soon as they were through, I
made them turn across and break it up I
again?making other hands take out all 1
tho roots, stumps, dec, that could be con- i
veniently got out. <
I then, on the 21st day of August, com- i
menced sowing the turnips broadcast, and <
plowing them in shallow with scooter I
plows. Tho seed used on this ground i
was the SMiven top variety,' which were 1
given to me by a lady in the neighborhood. 1
1 used a little over a quart of seed on tho <
six acres of land. 1 finished sowing and i
plowing in on the 23d day of August.
As soon as I finished, a storm of wind
and rain came on, and there was no more
_ /
rata tor Hi>oul two months. <
The crop wu an abundant one?the <
turnip* large and smooth. I had up six- <
ty-lwo hog* to fatten for pork last fall. <
1 made a negro man drive a wagon into I
the patch every day for two month* or (
more, and flU the body with turnip*,
and drive them near the pen, where I had
a largo boiler arranged for cooking, which <
was-kept constantly boiling. I used four i
biiihsls of meal to a wagon load of turnip*, \
adding one quart of salt to each l>oil*r ]
full?my hog* fatted finely on this feed, t
I had about three acres of turnips that
remained in the patch all the winter un- i
touched, and there was turnip yrems <
enough to furnish the entire neighborhood
the past spring. I liavo saved an immense
quantity of the seed?more than I over
conceived oouid be saved from a turnip
patch.
It is proper that I should add that I
used no manure on the land, and did not
cultivate the turnips after they were sown.
With rich new land, and it put in in good
order, with good seed, and they properly
put in the land, I will ensure an abundant
crop of turnips any year for mau and beast.
I am your obedient servant,
J. A. L. LEE.

Information for Farmers.?In agriculture,
as in all other employments, if
ono would pursue it succesfully, wo should
understand it, or in other words, have a
thorough knowledge of its theory. That
we may obtain that information, we should
furnish ourselves with books of the best
authors on that subject and at least, with
one periodical devoted to agriculture, and
study them attentively, and then we shall
bo prepared to perfect our knowledge by
experience. There are, at this enlightened
day, strong prejudices against book-farming,
as it is termed. I pity the stupidity
of the man who thinks that if wo u?e
books, wo must shut our eyes against the
light thnt is Warning upon us from all
other sources. "What is book-farming?
It is learning by means of books, new
facts, opinions, and the result of experiments,
and different modes of operation,
and we can use such parts of the information
thus obtained as best suits our
situations. If wo would acquire the appellation
of a good farmer, and so pursue
the occupation as to make it pleasant and
profitable, we must study its theory until
we obtain a thorough knowlcdgo of all
its various branches. Wo must learn the
nature and properties of soils, know their
wants, and how to perpetuate their fertility.
The study of agriculture as a science,
nnd its pursuit as an enjoyment, I deem
admirably calculated to produce individual
happiness. It leads the mind away
from the turmoil and bustle of many other
pursuits, nnd plnces n reliance on individual
exertions and the blessings of heaven.
In the lal>or of tho field, under the blue
canopy above, when tho breeze is pure and
refreshing, there is that freedom from the
cares and perplexities of the world, that is
seldom enjoyed in any other pursuit.?

Facts About Milk.
Cream cannot rise through a great depth
of milk. If therefore, milk is desired to
retain its cream for a time, it shout l>o put
into a deep narrow dish ; and if it be desired
to freo it most completely of cream,
it should be poured into a broad flat dish
not much cxccding one inch in depth,
The evolution of cream is facilitated by a
rise, and retarded by a depression of tcin
perature. At the usual temporaturo of
the dary, 00 degrees, Fahrenheit, all the
cream will probably rise in thirty-six
hours, but at 70 degrees, it will perhaps
rise in half that time; and when the milk
is kept near the freezing point, the cream
will rise very slowly, because it becomes
solidified. In wet and cold weather, tho
milk is less rich than in dry and warm;
though not in thundery weather. The
season has its effects. The milk, in spring,
is supposed to be best for drinking, and
hence it would be best for calves, in summer
it is best suited for cheese; and in autumn
?tho butter keeping better than that of
summer?the cows less frequently milked,
givo richer milk and consequently more
butter. Tho morning's milk is richer than
tho evening. The last drawn milk of each
:ii.? -
minting, ai an uines and seasons. is richer
llian the find drawn, which is the poorest.

To-morrow! To-morrow!!
One day the minuter heard that his
neighbor was sick, very sick. What, if
lio die* in hi* present state ? thought tho
minister. He is an amiable man, a gen- 1
crous man; in many point* of character
a most excellent man; but, by his own
confession, he is no christian ; ha* never
felt tho power of God's converting grace
upon his soul. Suppose he nhould die in
bis present condition ! I must go and see
tiim. Accordingly, taking his hat and
cane, he called to see him. He knocked
it tho door ; a servant opened it.
M How is Mr. K.r
u Very sick, sir; please to walk in."
The minister, led by tho servant, enteral
the chamber. Tho curtains were
lown, and the room was darkened, and
in tho bed there lay his neighbor, scorched
by a raging fever Taking him kindly
by the hand, " How do you find yourself

These Reprints have now been in Doece**- l
ful operation in this country for IWMIf J
vkars, and their circulation ia constantly on I
tho incrtaso notwithstanding the competition J 1
they encounter from American periodicals of /- 1
a similar class and from numerous Eclectics / j
and Magazines made up of seloetions from \
foreign periodicals. "Ims fact shows clearly
the high estimation in which they are held ?J
by the intelligent reading public, and affords ^
a guarantee that they are established on a 1
firm basis, and will be continued without interruption.

Although these works arc distinguished
by the political shades above indicated, yet
buta small portion of their contents is devoted
to political subjects. It is their literary character
which gives them their value, and In
that they stand confessedly fnr above all
other journals of their clans, Blackwood,
still under the masterly guidance of Christopher
North, maintains its ancient celibrity,
and is at this time, unusually attractive,from ,
tho serial works of Bulwer and other litera- > I

Medal," "The (ireen Hand," and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions aro
issued by the leading publishers in this conntry,

from tho pages of Blackwood, after it has *- A
been issued by Messrs. Scott Sl Co., so that ?
