The Dying Mother.
BY FINLEY JOHNSON.
Within a poor and humble cot
There dwelt in peace and joy,
A widow'd mother and her son,
A bright-eyed, happy boy ;
And though to them the power of wealth,
Its joys did not impart,
Yet their*s was pence which dwolleth in
Each humble contrite heart.
But alas! disease did enter in
And lay the mother low ;
Yet not a murmur was breath'd forth
Against their weight of woe ;
But when a stranger enter'd in,
The scene which lie saw there,
Was that young child upon his knees
Breathing forth a prayer.
The mother spoke?I feel indeed,
I'm on the grave's dread brink;
But yet my soul doth know no fear,
Nor from the dangers shrink ;
But joyfully I'll stem the waves
And reach bright Canaan's shore,
Where pain and sickness cannot coinc
And death is known no more.
And though I leave my boy behind,
Yet from the realms above,
I'll guard his every earthly step
And shield him with inv love;
And when the portals of the grave
Shall shut him from my sight,
We'll dwell forever in the skies
And live in eternal light.
Iler voice grew weak?she could not tell
How fill'd she was with joy;
But gazing calmly round the room,
She call'd upon her boy ;
Her feeble arms she 'round him folded
And clasped him to her breast;
And with her lips clung last to his,
That mother found her rest.

A pipe, oh a pfpe. bring me hither,
That emblem of good-will so rare?
Though the bright buds of promise may
wither,
A wreath-eloud to friendship we'll rear.
As high curl the blue wreaths above us,
So let our good wishes arise,
With a pull", for those beings who love us,
And aputf for the friendship we prize.
Though <lnrk be the dawn of our morrow,
I,ot us puff away trouble and care;
Or if sunshine should chase away sorrow,
Let a pipe, let a pipe, lend its cheer.
Then a pipe, oh a pipe, bring me hither,
That emblem of good-will so rare,
Though the bright buds of promise may
wither,
-A wreath-cloud to friendship we'll rear.

Good Joke on a Widower.
A gentleman at Iloly Springs, Miss., I
.i.~ r. ii ; -
win uiu luiiowing ana vouches lor its |
truth. It is the best joke we have heard
ot' lately:
It appears that a widower in that town
of a somewhat gallant disposition, had
been accustomed to visit the residence of
the widow M., whether to see the amiable
widow herself, or her lively daughters,
our informant did not know. One evening
lie found the family hard at work on
some garments of cloth. The girls were
sewing and the widow was pressing out
the seams. The widower 44 hung up his
hat," as usual, and took a seat by the fire.
Just at that moment it happened that the
widow had done with the pressing iron,
vul'jo a tailor's goose. She set it down
on tho hearth, and called to the negro
man in a loud voice, "Jake! Jake! come
and take out this goose!"
The widower started up in astonishment
not knowing what to make of this abrupt
oruer.
"Jake! do you hear me?" again exclaimed
the widow.
" I b?g your pardon, Mrs. M.," said the
widower, with visible agitation, "but pray
don't call Jake. If you wish me to leave
your house I will go at once, without the
interference of servants."
The ladies roared with laughter; and it
took some moments to explain to the chagrined
widower his mistake. lie has not
been known to visit the widow M. since
that memorable evening.
Indian amd Yankee.?The water at
Mackinaw is very clear and cold, so cold i
ns to be almost unendurable. A gentleman
lately amused himself by throwing a
small coin in twenty feet of water, nn.l
giving it to any Indian who would bring !
it up. Down they plunged, but after descending
ten or twelve feet they came up
so chilled that after several attempts they
gave it up. A Yankee, standing by, observed
that " if he would givo it him for
getting it, he'd swing it up quicker than
lightning," to which he consented, when
Jonathan, instead of plunging in as was
expected, quietly took up a setting pole,
and dipping the end in a tar barrel, reached
it down to the coin and brought it up,
nd slipping it into his pocket, walked ofT,
to fhe amazement of the Indian diven,
and to the no small chagrin of the donor. |

From, the Farmer and Planter.
Agriculture.
I have been taking and reading your
paper, with varied interest, for sonic time,
and profess myself lienefitted by tho same,
in noticing tho plans and experiments of
others engaged in similar pursuits with
myself, especially by theso portions of
agricultural chemistry, which illustrate
philosophically the laws of nature acting
upon soil, the atmosphere, light, and the
plants in their growth and maturity.?
liere is surely ft wide range presented for
agricultural thought and investigation.
And whilst all the communications posscssjjomething
of interest, yet it is not to
he expected, that the interest of all would
l>e equal to all.
Diversity must necessarily he the ruling
character of all papers?much more so of
one of an agricultural character. Wo are
aware that there are opponents to, and depredators
of, agricultural productions, o
"hook-farming," as some choose to call it,
as well as extravagant and servile followers
of such regulators of planting and
farming pursuits. Both parties I regard
as occupying extreme positions, and consequently
fall into occasional error and
disappointment. There exists a corrective
for all this, hy taking a middle course, in
reading and using these productions, as a
whole or in part, with a proper discrimination
and judgment, guided by careful
observation and experience. In them we
tire furnished with the plan of management,
based upon assumed theoretical
principles; the experiments of individuals,
with such suggestions jus their judgment
dictate; and statistical tables of one and
others, on all the different branches appertaining
to general agriculture. As a
matter of course, somo of the operators
live, in the Inw-emiiOre c/-..,,.. ?l-~ l
. .. I , OVIIIV 111 IUU JIIIUdie
and some in the up-country and near
the mountains. Again, some in the East,
in the North, in the West and in the
South. Now upon the whole, all these
must be regarded as only indicating general
principles, the different branches of
husbandry by their labors. Some of these
approach a standard of perfection, and
stand the test of time and change of circumstances.
CHhers are found capable of
further development. The North cannot
develop a complete system for the South,
nor the South for the North. Neither can
the low-country for the mountain regions.
And why not? Because, the diversity of
soil, of climate, of seasons, of the staple
plants, <fcc., creates a local agriculture,and
render a change necessary in the details
of the modes of operation. Indeed, after
the Agriculturist, V?e he a planter or farmer,
or a mixer of operations, h;is obtained
for himself a code of principles, from
comparative husbandry and chemical analysis,
he is only then well prepared to
study his own locality, and adopt ami perfect
a system of operations, to suit his own
premises and peculiar branches of agriculture.
For the want of discrimination
' of this sort, men sometimes adopt every
idea they sco adv;uiced, with too much
confidence, and thus meet w ith results, in
view of their credulity, which subjects
them to ridicule. I see that some of your
contributors prefer to deal in generalities,
and others delight to descend to things in
jxirticuUir. This seems to be all right;
they will prove beneficial to each other;
and only keep a sufficient number on each
side to balance the preponderance. Then
with an occasional real "Broomsedye'''
broom to sweep over and out, the kiiuls
of hasty communications, we shall have
fair sailings, and enjoy a true farmer's
"otium cum diynitate."
. Deep Plowing.
As a general thing the soil must o
deepened before it can bo perfectly unproved.
One acre of soil 12 inches deep
is worth more to make money from, by
cultivating it, than 4 acres 0 inches in
depth. Thus, admit that a soil 6 inches
deep will produce 1 t bushels of wheat,
and that 12 bushels will pay all expenses
and give 2 profit. Four acres of this land
wiil yield a net income of only 8 bushels.
Now double the depth of the soil and the
crop, making the latter 28 bushels, instead
of 14 per acre, and the former 12
inches in the place of (I \ 15 bushels instead
of 6, will now pay all the annual
expenses, and leave a profit not of 2, but
of 13 bushels per acre?Family Visitor.
Lice on Cattle.
It is not often that I have it in rny
power to offer auf thing to tho public;
but I think it right that each one of us
should give to all the benefit of his experience,
more particulariy when ho can
make nothing by keeping it to himself
and getting out a palnit riyht. I saw in
some agricultural work, perhaps your own,
that the water in which Irish patatoes had
been boiled, if applied to cows, Ac., would
kill lice upon them. I tried it several
times with signal success, and a few days
ago, ordered my boy to try it upon iny
cows, which, at tliis time of the year, generally
are full of ticks; the result of which
is, hat they have all taken their departure.
Please publish this for the benefit
of all the commons-going cows of the vicinity
of our city, and you will have their
eternal thanks.?Southern Planter,
From the Southern Cultivator.
Manuring.
Messrs. Editors?The success of every
farmer depends in a great degree, on the
amount of nutriment that lie pflys to the
soil, in proportion to the amount that he
takes from it. Hut a great many of us
are at a loss to know what kind of manures
wo can most advantageously apply to
our different kinds of soil, (not being well
versed in the iiifxlus ojwrandi of agricultural
chemistry.) In our State, the soil is
ratheJ ]>eculiar. On our bottom lands it
is inclined to be sandv*. on our unland it is
inclined to be pebbly, interspersed witli
small stones, more or less. Now, 1 bog
to enquire of your senior editor if the
same kind of manure will not do for both
bottom and uplands; and which is most
suitable, or on which I can use to the l>est
advantage, stable or barn-yard manure,
or leached ashes, or both together, as a
compound! And could I not use salt in
the compound to good advantage? It is
| rather dilllcult to get manures from our
wood lands, as the bottoms are thick cuncbrttkes,
and the uplands are full of small
: undergrowth; consequently wo must dc'
pend on our barn-yards, stables, ect., such
as our ash piles, hen-houses, chambers, etc.
If you think the above will not answer,
will you be so kind as to say what I can
best use. It requires a large quantity of
manures for our lanns, as it settles down
in the sand so fast, we have to use a large
quantity to reap much benefit from it.?
Yet we must try, and try again, and keep
trying, or else we shall most assuredly
come out minus, and our lands become
defunct.
Your attention to the above enquires
will greatly oblige,
Yours, very truly, J. E. L.
Little Rock, Ark., June 15, 1852.
Rkmakks.?The same perfect manure
that will form corn, cotton, wheat or tobacco,
on clav or loam bottoms, will act |
likewise on porous, sandy uplands. AVliat
wo mean by perfect manure, is any compound
that contains nil the elements of
the crop to be grown. Stable manure,
particularly in ease the animals stabled
consume grain, is a fertilizer of this character.
Bottom lands often abound in the
elements of crops, but in a condition not
available as the food of plants, and therefore
wholly worthless to the owner, as a
source of income. Indeed, all soils contain
latent resources, that can only be
brought out by the assistance of more
knowledge than is usually taught in American
colleges.
Good cane brake land ought U> spare
the things that make com, oats, peas and
grass, which, being consumed l?j hones,
mules, neat stock, hogs and sheep, should |
be mostly applied to enrich poor lands, if i
you cultivate tho latter at all. Beware <
that you do not waste manure, lalxtr and j
money, in working too much of the latter j
kind ot cart
After looking* over tlte United States for (
many years, and carefully studying the
popular systems of tillage and husbandry,)
we came to the conclusion that the four or j
live millions of agriculturists aeutuallv
throw away more hard work that ought j
to he saved, than is pejformed by all the |
mechanics, merchants, salors and profes- j
sional men in the country.
How much labor ought 100 bushels of
corn, or wheat, or 50 bales of cotton, Uv
cost? Who will undertake to answer
these plain and simple questou! Of course
wc intend that whatever nutriment the
soil parts w ith in forming a crop, shall be '
fully restored again from the atmosphere !
or some other source.
Hut we do not quite meet the inquiries |
of our IC ? I* - 1
? wpuuvut. ii ?<iu ih cnoap, |
mix it witli your manure and leached I
uslies, and apply both fertilizers to all the j
land that you plow, if it needs improve- I
ment, Can you not make your oat-fields j
or common range for stock, yield more ;
and better pasturage than it now does; so !
that by cow pens, or manure yards you
may draw from these distant fields or commons,
a great deal more of the elements
that form cheap cotton and grain! The '
things that make busies and the leaves
of forest trees, will make grass, make the
tlesh of mules and horses, cattie, sheep j
and hogs, just an easily and about as {
cheaply; and these animals will bring their |
manure and drop it within a few yards of I
the plnces where it is needed. Make the ;
land that now supports one animal, keep |
two, five, or ten, as nifie planters out of
ten may do. We appeal to the l>ent farmers
in tho South, and ask if they believe
that tho entire resources <?f any large
plantation, or of many small ones, aro
fully developed! It is true that most of
these resources aro hidden, like the phosphate
of lime that forms the bones of a
calf; but the existence of bone in a calfs
lig is not more certain, than that of the
necessity of bono earth in the soil. Every
farmer should know how to dig fat calves
and colts, pigs and lambs, out of his subsoil,
and realize a handsome profit in the
operation. There is no way in which the
raw material of our great staples can be
obtained an cheaply as by the keeping of
stock. Let the plow go over (ewer acres,
let pastures be limed, seeded, and harrow,

Southern Advertiser.
Published weekly, to advocate Direct
Trade, Manufactures, Agriculture, and
the development of Southern Resources.
By C. O. BA YLOR, Washington, D. C.
The importance of such a Journal as the
above, needs 110 exposition. Tho material
and substantial interest of the South have
ooen 100 long neglected rne Motion I'tanl
established to promote Ihcso interests, i
keeping entirely aloof from party politica.
A complete foreign and domestic
correspondence has been arranged. The
best talent of the country will contribute to
our columns, which will present a medium,
of general communications, correspondence,
and information for the friends of the measures
wo advocate. The proper steps have
been taken in Europe and America to lay
the foundation of a ilirrrt foreign trade at
the South, and to introduce our coarse manufactures
into the continental European
market. One object of the Cotton Plant
will be, ns the organ of direct trade, to stimulate
the South to carry out this important
measure.
Wo call upon the Southern merchants generally
to send us their business cards, that
we may lay them before the country, to enable
the friends of southern commerce, manufactures,
&c., to discriminate properly in
their desires to promote southern enterprise,
The importance of Washington City a
point of location for such a Journal, especially*
in regard to opening foreign correspondence
and promoting onr foreign relations;
is apparent. The opportunity of seeing
here, also, members of Congress from every
district of the country, presents a means of
general co-operation not to be found elsewhere
*
To the Cotton, Siioar. Rice, and Tobacco
Planters, we look confidently lor support;
and to the friends of ' Dire.it Trade" throughout
the south we say?"show your faith by
your works."
The regular issue of the "Cotton Plant"
will commence in June next. Advertisements
are particularly requested to be forwarded
early, business letters addressed to
C. (?. Baylor, Washington, D. C.
Correspondence from all interested in the
cause we advocate is solieited, jtariirulnrly
as to the crop, as we wish to give correct information
on a subject which is of so much
importance to the Planter, and in representing
which he has been so often injured.
Post masters are requested to net as agents
for us, and to all who approve our cause we
look for good fee ing, kindness and support.

Thrir power over the above diseases is not
excelled?if equalled?by any other prejntration
in the I'nited States, as the cures attest, in
many eases after skillful physicians had failed.
These Bitters are worthy the attention of
invalids. Possessing great virtues in the
rectification of diseases of the liver and
lesser glands, exercising the most searching
powers in weakness and alfections of the
digestive organs, they are, withal, safe certain
and pleasant.

The editor said. Dee. 22d,
Dr. II<ffin nil's Celebrated Cerman Bitters
for the cure of liver Complaint, Jaundice,
Dyspepsia, Chronic or Nervous Debility, is
deservedly one of the most popular inedi
cincs of the* day. These Bitter* have Wen
used by thousands, and a friend at our elbow
says he has himself received an effectual and
permanent cure of Idver Complaint from tho
use of this remedy. We are convinced that,
in the use of these Bitters, the patient constantly
gains strength and vigor?a fact worthy
of great consideration. They are pleasant
in taste and smell, and can be used by
persons with the most delicate stomachs
with safety, under any circumstances. We
are speaking from experience, and to the
afffcted we advise their use.
"Scott's Weekly," one. of the best literary
papers published, said. Aug. 25 :
* Dr. Holland's German Hitlers, manufactured
by Dr. Jackson, are now recommended
by some of the most prominent memWrs of
the faculty as an article of mnch efficacy in
cases of female weakness. As such is the
case, we would advise all mothers to obtain
a bottle, and thus save themselves much
sickness. Persons of debilitated constitutions
will find these Bitters advantageous to
their health, as we know from experience
the salutary effects they have upon weak
systems."

These Reprints have now been in success- f 1
ful operation in this country for twenty years,
and their circulation is constantly ton
the incroaso notwithstanding thecomnetition
thev encounter from American periodicals of
a similar class and from numerous Eclectics
nnd Magazines made up of selections from
foreign periodicals. This fact shows clearly i
the high estimation in which they are hold eL
oy me intelligent rending public, and affords V
a guarantee that they are established on rt
firm basis, and will be continued without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished ,
by the political shades abovo indicated, yei
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 fiir above nil
other journals of their class, Blackwoodr
still under the masterly guidance of Christopher
North, maintains its ancient celibrity, i
nnd is at this time, unusually attractive,from
the serial works of Bulwer and other literary
notables, written for that magazine, and
first appenrinp in its columns both in Great
Britain and in 4he United Btates. Such
works as " The Caxtons" and M My New
Novel," (both by Bulwer), " My Feninsular
Medal," "The Green Hand," and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions are
issued by the lesding publishers in this country,
have to be reprinted by those publishers 'j
from the pages of Blackwood, after it has 11]
been issued by Messrs. Scott Si Co., so that
Subscribers to the Reprint of thnt Magazine .1:
may always rely on having the earliest rend- if
