" LIGHT, MORE LIGHT !" 8VCH WEltE THE LA6T WORPB OF GOETHE. The God-enamel'd flower At early dawn looks up. And gently would unfold Its penciled cup; Whilst to tho sun it saith? Arise and chase tho night, Wipe oil'this tear of dow? moro ngiu: more ngni: When twilight steals away Tho wood-bird Kinging, grieves, And calls llio evening back To tint tho loaves: Itsaith?"Oh, linger yet, I still, in airy flight, Would butho my golden breast? Stay, stay, O light!" And thus thy soul crieth out, When dawn begins to break, And in the sky it sees Tho first gray streak? Away, away dark sins Ye'vo held mo in long night, I long to walk in day? INIoro light! more light! Then comes tho life's broad noon, w:?i. ~...i ? *? iui nuii. uiu.1 mini y ut'ain And oft tho 60ul doth err ; In act and dream Sun-spots arise to dim The perfectness of eight; Unsatisfied it cries? "Temper the light!'' Then evening stcalcth on? Tho last hours of the strife, When angels beckon us To leave this life : Then as tho soul soars up To ho.-ven's most holy height, It crioth, plaintively? "O Lord! more light!" IVIoro light! more light! to see What mystic path I tread, \V hat dangers hover o'er My heart and head! Oh, Btretch thy guiding hand And lend me through this night; Then bathe me in a flood Of perfect light! s . Cultivation.?It is usually planted on wheat or corn, but if fresh virgin soil or ^ old pasturfe sod is chosen, it will materially lessen its liability to insects and other riia mies.?It is generally in drills sown two : feet apart, and on heavy lands; these should ;Jbe slightly ridged. The plants must be successively thoinned to prevent interfering ]with such as intended to mature, but enough should remain to provide for casualties. Where there is a deficiency, they may be supplied l?y transplanting during showry Weather. They should be left six or eight inches apart in the drills. The % swede turnip is a gross feeder, and requires & either a rich soi4 or heavy manuring, though " the use of fr?sh mnnnroa 1?>. ? J ?. ..w? UQOII suppusca to fncillate- the multiplication of enemies. fi&V Bones, ground and drilled in with the seed, wfc,;' or a dressing of lime, ashes, gypsum and gift, are thel)est applications that carCTao made. The Swede should be sown from | about the 2(hh May to the 15th^Juno,^earl' y'tO'mature. ami'two or three weeks more | of groth frequently adds largely to the product. An early sowing also gives time to raise another crop in case of failure of the first. Blackberry Syrup.?The following is the receipe for making the famous Hlacki berry syrup. No family should be without it; all who try it will find it a sovereign remedy for bowel conmlaints : " To two quarts of blackberry juice, add i half an ounce eacli of powdered nutmeg, j i cinnamon and alspice, and a quarter of an ; ounce of powdered cloves. Boil these to- | geiher to get the strength of the spices, and j to preserve the berry juice. While hot, add ! a pint of fourth proof pure French Brandy, j and sweeten with lo:if sugar. Give a child j two teaspoonfuls three times a day, and if I the disorder is not clicked, add to the quan- i j titv." | " To Frighten Crows.?A correspon- | dent of the Boston Cultivator, says nothing is better than to placc a few empty barrels in different parts of the field?that the | crows are afraid of nothing in plain view, but the fear of an ambuscade is sufficient to keep them away. As to placing efligies _ C i i t - .1- 1 - in a ueiu iot me aoovc purpose, it is only ; an insult to their common sense ; it was but yesterday I saw one of those black coat- j ed gentlemen, perched on the limb of a tree . to which one of these pretended scarecrows was suspended ; making the most ludic- j rous c-rowings innnaginablo. either at the i image or its maker, most probably at the ! latter. . A friend has given us the following des- I cription of a method to catch sheep killing : dogs, which he assures us, is never failing j When a sheep is found killed, build a pole pen around it, say ten feet square at : the bojtom, tapering in the form of a pyramid, ! to the height of lour or five feet, leaving an ' aperture at the top sufficiently large to ad- j mit a dog of any size, say two or three feet ! square.

Tlio invention was not. the result of mere chance, but of long experience and mathematical calculation. As to power, it is equal, if not superior, to any thing now in use. It requires less titn . her, easier framed, and put up in less time, and with less danger than a screw; and the Press will lust as long as any timber protected from the weather or above ground. From the number of these Pressed which are now in use from North Carolina to Mexico, we foci no hesitancy in saying that they will supercede the Screw ; and there are ten of our Presses up to one of any other, and we feel justifi'd in saying fifty to one. The average duration of Screws in this District is not more than four and a half 01 five years, and as there is not less than five hundred Screws, see what is paid out in one year.
