Your child, once pure as angel's thought, Takes the sin-serpent in her keeping; To her, all holy things are nought. In her all noble things are sleeping. She probes a sister's bleeding heart, Not with sort touch, to 1 eel or cherish, But further yet to tlmrst the dart, On which hope's fairest children perish. She wipes the tear of grief away, Tis but afresh to set it fleeting, And only by the slow decay Of broken hearts her own Iceps beating. 'Tis she whose slamlcr-vciiotncd sting, Sends to the church yard many a mourner. To weep, where only sweet birds sing, O'er some poor grave in some lone eoi n< r.

The Surrender of Cornwallis. bv libit, cum. Many years nyo it was a custom in the State of Maine, in most of the towns, to celebrate the memorable event of the surrender of Cwinwallis, by going through a moek performance representing that important fact in our country's history. The little town of Waterford, situated upon tlie banks of the broad and majestic ' ('rooked River," resolved not to be behind hand in so groat an affair. Accordingly a meeting was called at the old town-house on the hill, to make the necessary arrangements. Deacon Moses Jones, as lie was called, was chosen to enact the character of Washington, nud 'Squire' llijcr Wood the character of CornwaUis. The under officers, soldiers, &.C., were to be. selected by the. selectmen, whose duty it was to furnish uniforms and pay such other expenses as the affair should require. Now, as Messrs. Jones and Wood are the principal heroes of this sketch, a short description of their characters may not be out of place. Deacon Jones was a wealthy firmer, proud and religious, (at least be thought be was.) and was on the whole a\erv w in-. _ J thy man. The worst thing flout him was a bad habit of taking "a drop too much," but even this was not thought a great deal of, for everybody in them days took somcthin' occasionally. Squire Wood was the village lawyer, very aristocratic, but withall a very eli ver man. The Squire imagined that lie knew consider* able more than what his neighbors gave him eredit for. This may be safely set down as his greatest fault, Both the Squire ami the Deacon were proud of their positions in this great a flair, and botii meant to do their best. The morning of the great dav dawned beautifully. The Deacon, dressed as (Jen. Washington, and mounted on his " iron grey," retired willi his men, dressed as ' Continentals true," at au early hour, to a grove near the village, where the ceremony was to uiKe piace. Cornwall-!* (pro. If in.) was also up and dressed before light, and stationed himself with his men dressed as Britishers, behind the "Hills." The programme of the day's performance was as follows: The two companies were to meet in front of the tavern, on the common, exchange shots, skirmish a little?in which Cornwallis was to be most essentially whipped, and then ingloriously surrender. At early dawn thousands poured into the little village, to see the fun and celebrate the great day. Punch, rum-flip, and gingerbread were in great demand. At 5) o'clock the two companies marched into the village I and arrayed themselves into fighting position, j reminding the spectators of the time when "Brave Wolf drew up his men In style most pretty, On the plains of Abraham, Before the < ity." The two commanders were greatly excited, and Washington, I regret to say, was in anything but a tit condition to net out the great part he was to perforin. He had been drinking freely all the morning, and now, when th? interesting ceremony was al>out to commence, was so liyhl or rnthcr loox?, tlint it was with difficulty he could sit in his saddle. He. however, did not know but what ho was all right, nor did his men. Cornwallis was not intoxicated, but a little agitated, or rnthor elated. Everything being ready, the company exchanged shots. Bang! wang!! bang !!! went the guns, while tho two commanders yelled like so many stuck pigs. "That's it, (hie) my brave boys! give it to 'em, the owdncioua red coats !" bellowed Washington. "On, Romans!" yelled the excited Cornwallis, who hud seen u theatrical exhibition Anno on/1 u'Kn enmomlvnsi^ l*?* ??* peals of thoThosplan belligerent*, "breathe* there a man so dead that won't fight like thunderr "Go it, Continentials!?down with taxation on tea!" tallowed Washington in a very patriotic voice. Mid narrowly escaped cutting his horse's ear off with the flourish of his sword. The lighting now ceased, the companies were drawn up in a straight line, ' and Cornwi.llis dismounted and presented his sword to Washington. 44 Well 'old hoy," said the immortal, as he i culled his horse's ears with his cocked hat, "what in thunder do you want ?" 44 Goner.I George Washington!" replied Cornwallis "1 surrender up to you myself, sword and men." 44 \ on do, do ye !" sneeringly replied tlie | General. 44 Yes, General," said Cornwallis, "the] British l.ion prostrates himself at the foot of j , the American hagle!' I - 1 " ! : eat; i.k yelled Washington, rolling oil' his liorse and hitting the Britton ti | tremendous blow on the head wit the lint of his sword, "do you call me an eagle Take that! and that!! and that!!!" yell.nl the in; furiated Washington : "/</' haps you'll call ' iuu an I'luh: again, von mean, sneaking cuss!" Cornwallis was tfa'cn, hat only for a tnoj mcnt, for he jumped up and shook himself, I and then with an entirely unlooked for recuperation on tiie palt of a fallen foe. and in direct defiance of I istoiieal history he pitch ed into Washington like a thousand of hriek, and in spite of the t Hurts of the men id'both ! it'tfiiiiis. succeeded ill giving the "immortal" j a tremendous licking. So the day that coinI menevd so gloriously n.ost i/i-gloriouslv ended. ' I For many years after the "Surrender." there was a coldness between the Helicon i and *S?|uire. but as time rolled on and their ' locks became frosted o'er with white, they | learned to call it a "joke." Both are living now, and whenever they meet tliev smoke I their pipes and talk about "that sir' scrape," j like a couple of good, jolly old men as they _ | "Our Hat." Mr. Slang had just married a second wife, i On the day after the wedding, Mr Sang rej marked, "I intend, Mrs. Slang, to enlarge J : sisy diary." "Vo i 1110:111 our diary, my dear," replied Mrs. Slang. ' N ijuotli Mr. Slang, " 1 intend to on- , my dairy." Say our dairy, Mr. Slang." "No: my d.iry.' ' Say our dairy, say our," sercanied Mrs. 1 Slang, seizing the* poker. " My dairy! my dairy!" \oeiferated the* i husband." . "Our dairy! our dairy! our d.iry!" ro- i oolioed tliu wife, emphasizing each "our'j with a blow on the back of her cringing 1 spouse. Mr. Slang retreated under the bed. In, passing under the lu-d clothes, Mr. Slant's | hat was brushed otf: Mr. Slang n niained under the cover several minutes, waiting for a calm. At length Ids wife siw him thrust- . ing his head out at the foot of the bed much j ' like a turtle from his shell. I " What are you looking for*, Mr. Slang !" 1 j says she.

IJy I no means would I underr.ite the philosophic speculations, ?>r r.itlior scientific dcmonstraI ! lions of l.iebig, Johnson, and other authors, 1 whose treatises have shed so much light on I agricultural processes; s'.ill for popular use, | I can but consider the reported experiments I of our own fanners and planters, especially mm carefully and fully detailed, asexual i to thehest extracts from foreign publications. ! When one of our own writers s ts f<?rth tlie reasons why the count) in which lie resides ' lias been successful, or has f.ilcd to produce full crops of cotton and grain?why in the months of August and September its cribs j or meat-houses are well .stored or empty? he can hardly f. il to imp ut inform .tion of ' great value. Wo all desire to produce good j crops of the artiele.u hieh is readily cxchange| able for money; and in our country that nr- , I tide has for many years past been considered no other than cotton. This is a mistake. ; : Articles of food will as certainly command tnonay as cotton, and at more rotnuncr ting 1 prices. The same labor bestowed on the I production of pork, beef, mutton, and pool- | | try, combined with care mid skillful manage- ' men/, will doubtless yield a far better profit1 I on capital and labor, 'than when given to ' cotton crops. True, it comes in by small | accessions, and the trade, in the. eyes of many, seems not to be invested with that grandeur which wo arc wont to ascribe to the sale of a cotton crop. It can- | not be denied, however, that such notions of ; I grandeur are vastly absurd, and by recent and painful experience, are shown to be full of dangerous fallacy. What signifies a large cotton crop, made, as it alw ys is, at the expense of more toil and sweat, wear and tear of capital, than any other known prodit tion of the earth, when the planter's family and operatives nro placed under restrictions of pinching economy?the ultimate income amounting to little more than enough to pay off shop accounts or other contingent liabilities ? Baton the supposition that cotton grooving is far more profitable than we know it to he?(Iocs not, or ought not tho planter, who has to run about in quest of food for his family, operatives and plow horses, to encounter a painful sense of humilistion at such demonstration of his own improvidence? Ill our Indian corn, wheat, rye and oat crops, abundant provisions arc within the reach of every planter in the whole cotton country. And to say nothing of the comparative cheapness of home supplies, they arc doubly valuable, inasmuch aethcy secure to the tiller of the soil that high sense of personal independence, certainly among the greatest of earthly felicities. This love of personal independence is an essential element of American character?it is that which gives it high and honorable distinction, when compared with other nations, and which, if duly and wisely nourished, will carry us to an elevation of rank and power unknown to the history of any other people. The insane practice of making cotton to hllV provisions for t>h.n?- ti. ? use, is abundantly shown in the comparative thrift and comfort of those planters who raise their own supplies at home. There is scarcely ? plantation of any size or quality iit the eotton growing states, on which three to ten acres of well prepared land will not produce wheat enough for family use?not inrrchantahle (lour, as it is called, mixed with bolted corn meal and other poor ingredients but a sound, fresh and sweet article, out ol which our housewives can have inanuf ctured the real "stall' of life," Hut insolence and ignorance have brought rnanv to the eonelusion tint the climate of Georgia and Ala. hamaarc not so propitious to the growth ol wheat as the higher lattitudes of Virginia and Pennsylvania. Not a word of truth in this. Every tolerably well informed person knows that the shores of the .Mediterranean, I otli European and African, where the climate is much warmer than in these States, produce as fine wheat crops as any part ol the earth : and that the Hour, in containing ?!

If wheat hail half as strong a hold on our afTeetious as cotton, it would be produced in great quantities for exportation. Sown in Sept. or October. ii soil in good tilth, it is quite as certain a crop in any part of South-Western (ieorgia, as Indian corn, and produced at less than one-third of the cost. On upland of second quality my usual crop enables me to sell a little earn, fodder, oats, wheat, pork?and four or live bales of cotton per h.md, thus making my practice correspond with my precepts. from the Soul/urn ('ulticator.

A lino field of Oati next claimed our attention. The variety grown by tho Doctor?the " White Imperial"?is one of the most productive, luxuriant And thrill? that we have noticed. Tho straw is tall and stiong, and boars a very long, branching and well-tilled head, the grains of which are unusually large. This variety of the Oat, while growing, presents a beautiful appearance.

This beautifully situated farm is of limited extent, and when it passed into the |>o*session of l>r. lint ley, (about two years since,) was \ery much impoverished?a great portion of it having heyti an "Indian field," which had been cultivated on the scalping system of the Chorokoes, beyotid the memory of the " oldest inhabitant." I'nder the improved system of the present owner, however?a system based on the fundamental principles of modern scientific farming, viz: <h eppUtxrintj and h'ujh xi'iiiuriii'/,combined with a proper rotation of crops, an 1 tiie adaptation ot s/xccijic composts to special clops, the old field of the aborigines has greatly altered its character and appearance ; and when we walked through it, a heavy crop of K.rnriati W heat waved its myriad heads of gold, and long rows of dark-green and stateiv maize tossed aloft their rustling banners to the passing breeze. The A'lrnrian Wheal grown by 1 >r. llattey, originated, we believe, in Italy. It has been cultivated at "lliverbauk" for two years; is a verv beautiful wbite ? i. ricty, with strong, bright straw, ?>t" vigororous growth, ur:<l greatly disposed to spread or "tiller." The present crop was sown in drills one foot apart, and gave a line "stand "?covering the ground in a inn 'h more perfect manner than by the ordinunj system of broadcast sowing; (performed as the latter operation mostly is, without regularity, with the ground only partially prepared, anil without the use of a sullieient quantity of seed.) We do not know the amount of seed required for an aere, by the drilling method of Dr. 15., but should suppose it less than hy the common method ; while the "stand" is more uniform, and the seed, being more evenly covered, is almost certain to vegetate and grow off well. This field of Etrurian Wheat, when examined hy us, showed scarcely a trace of rust or smut, and we should have no hesitation in setting down the yield at twenty-five bushels per acre, unless some after-calamity overtook it. The Corn crop of Dr. Battcy was also looking unusually fine; w ith thick, heavy stalks, and leaves of that rich, dark shining green that indicates deep culture, and an abundant supply of the plant in the dollar" attones tothem for the lack of tha "vision and facility " that recognizes I?enu tv wherever it exists <twl derives a keel and heartfelt enjoyment from all "rura sounds," even when unattended by pecu niary profit.) In one section of this field Dr. It. tried the oxperiinent of top-dres sing with coarse salt, (at the rate of abou 1 bushels to the acre,) and with the mos perfect success.?That portion of the fieh suited down produced a much heavie crop than the Jrenh part; and the different'" in the bight and color of the plant wa j>erceptible. a long way off. We were much inteiestcd in man; small experiments instituted by Dr.Uattey tor the purpose of determing the com par alive value of different manures and thei adaptation to various soils; as also th adaptation of many new plants to tlii climate, but our limits will not permit u to enter into a detailed account of then at present. We must not neglect, liowev er, to mention a fact that probably man; of our readers are already acquainted witli viz: that the celebrated Chilian Clove (of Patent Office notoriety) and the Lu cerne (or "French Clover ")arc one am the sains plant?alike and iodistinguisli able. Dr. Pattey has those plants in fill growth, side by side, and it would requir the keenest of optics to detect in them th least difference or variation. T^.e Garden of "Kiverbank" is one c its most pleasing and attractive feature! and deserves far more than the necessar ly "brief mention" that we are obliged t bestow upon it. It contains three arret entirely devoted to the production of vep etables for "home consumption" ami inai ket. Underground drains penetrate th clayey subsoil of this garden in sever; directions, and the very highest state i productiveness is obtained by deep ploi and spade culture, high manuring, and tli thorough pulverization of the soil. Th Doctor is peculiarly fortunate in possess ing a most industrious and intelligent u? j gro gardener, to whom lie can safely ei ! trust the execution of liis plans; ami tli amount of line vegetables turned out h I "old Solomon" in the course of the veal I is almost incredible. The luxury of po: | sensing a all times an ahumhuit supply < ] the choicest products of the garden is la I yoinl all price; ami we should be rejoice to see our agricultural friends general! give more care and attention to this km I jeet, and replace tin weedy and profitlcs "truck patcli" with luxuriant nml well en tivated gardens of sweet and wholesom vegetables, luscious, melting fruits, air hrilliaut, odorous flowers.
