POKTRY. THE OTHER DAY. The shadow of some himJred ytSrs Falls on a mansion quaint and gray, Where R with mingled hopes and fears. Whisnererl sweet secrets in the ears Of one whom now I see through tears, Only the other Jay. Oh Margret, my Margict, An oft in rhyme I used to say, Gir's with the eyts of violet, How in the pine-wood wilks we met, When early flowers with dew were wet, 'Twas but the other day. When 6unset skies wero amethyst, We to the woodland's found our way, At eve our elders played at whist, And we, of course, were never missed When we stole out, and talked and kissed Only the other day. I went across the salt sea foam? Wo corresponded while away, fans i saw, viumiti, numc, The BriJge <?l Sigh?, -Sr. Peter's dnma, And taen, with hungry hi nrt rami- home By s e.i;n t!ja oihe J lay. My Madge was married to an Earl, A gouty one Firm glad to say, Her tresses have the sell' same curl Through rose-bud lips I see the pearl; But oh, she's not the little girl I wooed the other day. AGIUCULTUUE. MJT GKASS. The ltev. J. W. liuu.v, of Chesterfield, in n reecBt essay rend before the S/\/?inMr Hill. PmiiiiliK'it'Ml and Fartnpr'> WVViViJ ** ?* * v...w..p Club, gives I he following as tlie method adopted by Iiuii to destroy this pest of the garducr and farmer : More nut grass may bo killed in n hard winter, thau in a summer. To do this, about the last of October, take a long six-inch shovel and break the land, leaving five inches unbroken between each furrow, which will leave the land in small ridges, after solid freeze and thaw, run the same plow in the Fame furrow; this will bring up a fresh supply of nuts; after anothcj freeze and thaw, split the ridges open with the same plow, and again after again nftci a freeze and thaw This last will be equal to two plowing* in n winter; and never to be tepeatcd in the same field, if the summer plowings arc kept up.? If these plowings have been well done and the freeze hard, the nuts will be l-Mi-.i e> i?_ :?,.i .1 _ Kllll'U lruill UI^IIL IU iuui\u illCIIO Ul U|'. Commence your summer wotk ahout tho first of May, and do not allow tin grass to bloom, for although the bloom may not produce seed, yet the bloom i> necossary to the formation of nuts, no new nuts will form ami mature, if the grass is not- allowed >o bloow. It will not bloom in much less than six week" so that if it is regularly plowed every three or four weeks through the summer and full till frost, it will form no now nuts, and a large proportion of the old nuts will die from exhaustion, particularly, tho deepest ones. You may now sow the land in wheat, rye or fall oats, and when they aro taken off, break the land so as to turn tho stable under. In about thrco or four weeks, start your sweep*, and run them regularly every four or five weeks. (Tho grusa after the first summer's work will bn so much weaker, that it will bear to stand a week longer the second, third and fourth summers.) Continue the procet-s fur four Bumnmrs, and yon wi 1 not ho troubled with nut eras* in tli.-it fid I iiimin unless it is carried there. It will always be best if possible, to have your head'lands beyond the nut grass, with a woll defined furrow, that the plows may not pass in carrying out, have the head lands plowed regularly with the field*. Look well to all trees and 6tumps, in fact, to all places whero the plows do not reach, and h ive them hoed regular]y cut from one to one and a half inches deep which is the depth tbo plows ought to cut. f|2l,?. . . % ??vwtj -wnd when well set and tempered, ought never be sent to a smith to be sharpened, bat taken to a good stone und ground. Treated tbus, they will last five times as long, be always bright and smoothc, and do their work well. The advantages of winter killing are, 1st: The nuts will be killed eight inches deep and there will be less danger of their spreading by the plow. Seoond : The living nut will bo beyond the inSuenrc of the sun until late in the Spring, consequently the blades will be : touch later in making their appeiratice, giving time to plant your crop before the work will be needed in the nut grass field. >'o hog* should bo allowed to go in u i.ut grass field, as they root deep holes, break the roots, and bury the nuis deeper in the earth. Do not be discouraged t oca use the grass appears after each ploviig, nf or three or four plowing* the grass will spring up iuo:o feeble, I ?ud Inj paler, lis a mighty work is going on below, though you see it. not, the work you fo much desire, the decay and final destruction of the nut grass. J. W. BURN, A Hundred Bushels Oats to the Acre.?We copy the followiig from the Columbus Enquirer : Mr. C. A. P. abody has left in our officc a cluster of wheat he calls "another of bis humbugs." It i<? a specimen of a new description of oats, the seed of irLir'li 1m nrocurod from Vermont, and .. ...v.. --- | which is s:iid to liavc been introducedinto this country from Sweden?01 o grain having been found in a package of peas procured by the Agrieul'ur;.] Bureau. There are in this cluster fourteen or fifteen stalks, about five feet in height, and of stems enormously large, and all from a single grain! The heads have not yet made their appearance, the stalk- being in thcs'.ngc called "the boot." It is therefore reasonable to snpposc that (lie stalks have as yctattanicd not much exceeding half their height! The color is remarkably good, nnd the growth evidentiy vigorous. Mr. Peabody lias a field of ten acres sown broadcast, beside some patches in the dii 1 ntid liills. lie used 2t)U lbs. nt l'ae"Qc Gun mo to the acre, and sowed about tl'c 20ili Febuary. IK- counts on a yi.Id ol one hundred bushels of seed oats per . acre, if no disaster overtakes the crop! It isK:iid that these nuts have {reduced even much more per acre at the North. The blades arc fiom half an inch ton lull inch in breadth, and over a foot in length. The variety is certainly a wonderful one, und promises to bo very valuable.
