Wo hard i work In our poiwifion, in whioh j th?y? are floveral anecdotes of the great poet, j that are not familiar to the general reader. When about to compose, he prepared liim- j self?as did Cicero?by reading some of the ; Greek poets, or having them read to him, after i he became blind. And we will here remark, that reading' the poetry of the best authors, as a preparation for writing poetrv. has a much ! * * U 1 ' greater influence upon the mind in composing, I than might be imagined; as the writer doubt- ! less catches more or less of the fire and inspiration of his author. It is well-known that he was blind, but the manner of his losing his sight is perhaps but little known to most readers. It was occasioned by his celebrated controversy with Salmasius. When he first proposed to auswer that learned man, but ridiculous writer, he had lost the use of one of his eyes. His physicians declared that if ho applied himself to the controversy, he would also lose the other. But his patriotism was not to be baffled. He continued to apply himself to it, in spite of the warning, and the other was soon closed forever. While on the subject of this controversy, we will add, what the impartiality of criticism obliges us to confess?that Milton was not destitute of rancor. When told that Salmasiils boasted he had occasioned the loss of his eyes, and he answered with the ferocity of the irritated Puritan, 1 shall cost him his I if, The prediction was shortly after ful1*11 1 f /V U11CU, lor ^nriSHUU, V^UCUU ui oircucu, miudrew her patronage from Salmasius, and sided with Milton in this controversy, which was of such maguitude that all Europe took a part in the paper war of these two great men. The universal neglect which the proud scholar met with, hastened his death in the course of a year. The circumstance of his first wife being a great shrew, is also familiar to most readers of his works and life, but not the way in which ho got her. He exhibited nothing of the greatness of his mind in his choice of a wife, for his first wife was the object of a sudden fancy. lie left London, and unexpectedly returned a married man?united to a woman with dispositions so uncongenial, that the rouiD was frightened at the literary habits of the great poet, found his house a solitary place, beat his nephews and ran away after a month'9 residence. In connection with this woman is his witty roplv to the Duke of Buckingham, after he became blind. The Duke called her a rose, whereupon Milton replied : "I am no judge of colors, and it may be so, for 1 fed the thorns .l.r.ly." ivjual to thij vr-,is his shrewd reply to James Tl, when Duke of York, who make a visit to dilton, out of curiosity. In the course of their conversation, James said to him, that he thought his blindness was a judgment of Heaven on him, because lie had written against Charles I. his (James') Father, when Milton replied: '-If your highness thinks that misfortunes are an index of the wrath of Heaven, what must you think of your father's tragical end? I have only lost my eyes?he lost his haul!" The retort was severe, but a just and merited one. He was the author of a celebrated and oft*9ted line of poetry, of which but fewproba?y know the origin. "When attending at St. Paul's school, London, atone of the public examinations, the subject for poetical composition happened to be our Saviour's first miracle, of changing water into wine. Much was writO O ten aud handed in on the subject. When it came to Milton's turn, from whom little was expected, he merely wrote on a slate one line. ' The conscious water saw its God, and blushed." The laconic beauty of the line and simple sublimity of the idea were so striking, that the judges looked at each other in astonishment; and after bestowing encomiums upon the more elaborate productions, according to their merits, they awarded the prize to Milton. It was an early evidence of the powers of mind that produced "Paradise Lost." The pride of Milton, in some things, was great, and equal to his genius. As an evidence x* lanf Vkiivi fif>T7 nrmmls snnn after VI J I, naiiv^ ?cuv j t lie restoration, which the poet returned him with innch difficulty, as his circumstances were very low. Hartop would have declined it, but Milton sent an angry letter, which was found among Hartop's papers. As to Milton's sociability, when much pressed by the conversation of others, he was unsociable, and even irritable. He was in the habit of condensing his poetry, and would sometimes dictate a certain number of lines, and then reduce them to one-half the quantity. His daily routine of occupation, after he became blind, is thus described by Dr. Johnson: ' When be first rose, (which was at tour in summer and five in winter,) he heard a chapter in the Hebrew Bible, and then studied till twelve; then took some exercise for an hour; then dined; then played on the organ and sung, nr heard another sing; then studied to six; then entertained his visitors till eight; then >uppcd; and after a pipe of tobacco and aglass of water, went to bed." This shows him to have been a man of system and order, without which nothing great can be accomplished, and no extensive acquisitions be made. J. R. H. B&T A description is given of a wonderful jointed snake, said to have the power of separating itself into several parts, and afterwards uniting itself again at its pleasure:? "A stranger was describing the wonderful powers of this "pizing sarpint" to a knot of in ? " - ? dividuals congregated "somewhere out West." ; i They listened with open eyes and mouths a- j 1 gape with astonishment at the startling ac-1 t count. But the assurance that it could sepa- t rate itself "clean apart in five or six places t and some together agin as slick a j'iut as everj 1 you see," was a little too much to believe all at i once. Ab a publio speaker once remarked, j 1 " they doubted the fact," and intimated as 1 much. , J < "That's so, I've seen it," quietly remarked t a very honest and innocent-looking hoosier, who 1 ' stood by. ; j "Sho ! yc don't say so ! Tell us about it? I ] won't ye ?" exclaimed two or three in a breath, j > "Wall, I don't mind tellin'," said the hoo- ' i sior. "Ycr see, I was comin' 'long the edge I j of the perayre one moruin', down in Indyan- j 1 ner, when, fust I know, I come across one of these 'ere j'int-snakes, as they call em, a great ! nice feller, stretched out in the sun as pooty j as ever you see. I didn't scare him, but jest i stepped back a little ways, and cut a sapliu' ! about four feet and a half long, and trimmed ' it out slick with my jack-knife. Thinks I, old feller, I'll find out pooty quick how many i j'ints you got in yer. .So I stepped up kiuder I softly, and hit him a right smart lick across j 1 1 1 11.

A waiting liiaid : ; sat at the table with him, and Dick spoke of j I ' her as t^he servant to the no small scandle of { j mine host, who told him that in his house, i servants were called help. Very well. Next I morning the whole house was alarmed by a j I loud shouting from Dick of "Help ! help !? j , water! water!"?In an instant, every person j equal to the task rushed into Dick's room with j a pail of water. "I'm obleeged to ye, to be sure," said Dick, "but here is more than I want to shave with." "Shave with ?" quoth mine host; "you called "help! and water!" and we thought the j , house was oti fire." "You told me to call the servant help, and j do ye think 1 would cry water when 1 mean i fire?" "I give it up," said the landlord, as lie led off the line of buckets. wit Dramatic.?The editor of the Towanda (X. Y.)

We rejoice to know that the cultivation of Wheat in the Southern States meets with such encouragement as is likely to make it a valuable staple in a new system of rotation of crops. It should be considered iu connection with planting, with the natural and the cumulative wants of the soil, as well as the almost univcr-: sal desire for Wheat bread. As an article of ] human food, in uo part of the word havo mankind voluntarily lessened their daily consump- ! tion of Wheat, because they preferred bread made of the meal of maize, rice, rye, barley, oats, or any other cereal. On the contrary, thousands of families in all the States, to say nothing of the daily breed of the masses in Europe, annually consume less meal and more ! Wheat flour, as their means enable them to i , consult their taste. On good Wheat land, one ^ I can raise a bushel of Wheat quite as cheaply, I as one of corn ; hut such land is not common, ; and of course 100 pounds of flour cost more < labor than a like quantity of meal, to most [ producers. If they had all the experience ' and skill in growing Wheat which they posess , in the cultivation of corn, such an increase of knowledge would enable them to reduce the | first cost of a bushel of Wheat nearly one half. i This valuable knowledge will be acquired, sooner or later, for the increasing millions are sure to perpetuate an increasing market for this grain. In Dr. Schmitz's translation of Nieburr's i "Lectures on Ancient History," may be found i the following remarks; (Vol. 1. p. 1G) "Man was first created at Babylon, com [Wheat] ,?,V.7 . nr*A fV. a nam nnrc IUCIC f n . there found the first necessary food, especially : Wheat. This tradition is the more remarka-; ble because several naturalists have made the j observation that corn [Wheat] does not grow wild in any part of the world. I do not know whether by a process of improvement our garden fruits can be derived from wild fruit; it is well known, however, that the noble Vine Grapes grow wild in Colchcs. Whence, then, ! does Corn come? My opinion is that God made direct provision for men; something was given to all, real Wheat to the Asiatics, 1 and Maize to the Americans." We cite the above, not so much to record in i these pages the "opinion" of so ripe a scholar i and so careful an observer as Neiburr, in re- 1 'ercnce to "the direct provision made for < I nan" by his Creator, as to indicate the fact | s ;hat the warm valley of the Euphrates, not | ;liat of the Nile, is the earliest known habita- j e don of the Plant under consideration. The j b fact that Egypt hag been able to feed indefi- t aite millions at home on TVhoat, and export a j c large surplus for three thousand years, proves p that our Southern climate should be at least v \s Iricndly to the cultivation and growth ot this grain as any north of us, so far as tempe- , h rature effects the crop. The uncertaiuty of I a getting timely raius is, probably, the most se- ' v rious impediment and risk encounted by the t Southern Wheatgrower. lie has not the waters of the Nile uor of the Euphrates to irri- t gate his land when it suffers from protracted a dry weather. If a kind Providence sends him I b fruitful seasons he is grateful for the same : 1 i but when the "early and latter rain" fail, he I has no remedy. There is, however, as good ja chance for Wheat as for corn or cotton, and c perhaps a better one than for either, as Wheat I is ripe in May.; and some months in advance r of cottou and corn. Wheat is liable to inju- v ry by insects and parasitic plants j but not , [ more so thau corn and cotton. 1 s Not to dwell on hazards and casualities o which are too numerous and important not to \ be named, we remark that every one who 11 sows wheat should see that the land is v r r jS formed. Tn strong land, it should be mellow- n ed by the implements of tillage at least eight * inches ; and twelve would be still better. I Next in importance to thorough cultivation | is manuring. By the liberal ifc of manure, 1 English farmers have raised the average yield j of wheat, in the last thirty years, from lf> to ~ nearly 30 bushels per acre. In the making of v manure, a system of plant-rotation, including . renovating crop--, has many advantages. It J develops all the latent elements of fertility by i subjecting the soil to the recuperative power.-: ) Is'., <>f all natural agencies; 2d, of the best culture, and 3d, of such plants as draw large- i ly on the atmosphere or subsoil, or both, fur , their nourishment. | Whatever manure one may have, cither domestic or imported, should be thoroughly in- ' i , 1 ?1*1. 4 til..,!
