POETRY. TRUE HEROISM. BY GRANT f. ROBINSON. Let others write of battles fought On bloody, ghastly fields, Wh'ere Honor greets the man who wins, And death the man who yieMs. But I will write of him who fights Atid vanishes his sins, Who struggles on through weary years Against himself, and wins. He is a hero staunch and bravo Who fights an unseen foe, And puts at last beneath his feet His passions base and low. Who stands erect in manhood's might, Undaunted, undismayed? The bra\est man who drew a sword Jh Ibray or in raid. It calls for something more than brown 0r muscle to o'ercome, An enemy who marches not With banner plume or drum? A" foe forever lurkino nifrh. With silent, stealthy tread, Forever near your board by day, At night beside your bed. All Honor, then to that brave heart, Though poor or rich he be, Who struggles with his baser part? Who conquers and is free, He may not wear a hero's crown, Or fill a hero's grave, But truth will place his name among The b?wst of the brave. ~~ AGRICULTURAL. Experiments Among Farmers.? The idea "experiment*" amoBg farmers has a very vague meaning, and has more often been a subject of ridicule with many of our practical men. It should not be so. Wo see no reason ? 1?u ?i wny larujcrs suuuiu uuu upuuivuu iu a reasonable way, as well as mechanics, chemists, or those of other useful professions. A great advantage would result to agriculture, if every intelligent farmer would pursue some systematic course of experiment, on such a scale and variety as his circumstances would justify, and {give the result, if successful, to the community. It is with experiments in farming as was said by Franklin of a young man owning wild lands: "it is well enough for every one to have some, if he don t have too many." They should be his servants, not his masters; and if intelligently managed and kept within due bounds, they may be made greatly subservient to his ow'n interest, and, by their promulgation, eminently promotive of the general good. It is felly in- accordance with another mixum of that wise head, that when it is not within our power to return a favor to our benefactor, it is our duty to confer one on the first necessitous person we meet, and thus the circle of good offimill mnoo ?An r? /I UCO TT1AI pclOO IVUUU. The mutual communication of improvements of any kind in agriculture, Das the effect of benefiting not only the community generally, but even the authors themselves; as the frequently elicit corrections and modifications which materially enhance the value of the discovery. These experiments should embrace the whole subjeetof American agriculture : soils and their amelioration ; manures of every kind, alkaline, vegetable and putrescent, and their effects on different soils and crops ; plants ef every variety, and their adaption to different soils, under different circumstances and with various manures ^and their relation to each other, both as successors in rotation, their value for conversion into animals and other forms, and their comparative ultimate profit; the production of new varieties J>y hybridizing and otherwise ; draining both surface and covered; the improvements of implements- and mechanical operation.. They should also extend to the impartial and thorough trial of the different Breeds of all domestic animals, making ultimate profit to the onwer the sole test of their merits, crossing them in different ways and under such general rules as experience has determined as proper to be observed; their treatment, food, management, etc. Although much has been accomplished within the last few years, the science and practice of agriculture may yet be considered almost in its infancv. There is an un bounded field Btill open for exploration and research, in which the efforts of persevering genius may heareafter discover mines of immense value to the human family.?American Farm Book. Salt for Peach Trees.?Downing in his work on fruit trees, speaks of the application of salt to peach trees as a very effeotual agent for the destruction of the peach worm. He says : "In a neighborhood where the peach worm n <uh11v destroy* <?:" half the peach trees, we have seen them preserved in I the healthiest condition by the annual application of a handful of coarse salt, about the collar of the tree at the surface of the ground." This tallies with my experience ex- ^ actly. A few years since, having some ^ young peach trees which did not pre- ] oanf ?a Vi no 11 Ji fn J nrmoarrmPA AS WAS dfi sirable, anck having a small quantity of refuse salt on hand, I resolved to apply it to Bome of the unthrifty trees. The change wrought in the appearance and condition of the trees to which salt was appliedj was very remarkable. The foilage assumed a dark green color, and the growth that followed-was very gratifying. "Without being aware uqtil recently, of the suggestion of Mr. Downing, I continued the use of the salt, and with the same happy result, and am confident in the belief, that peach growers will find it to their advantage to adopt the method- which I have found to operate 11 au wen. Whether the vigor of the tree is duo to the destruction of the worms, or whether to the action of the salt, which experienced horticulturists tell us promotes the verdure and luxuriance of fruit tTces, X am not prepareed to say. < I give you the facts, leaving your read- ' era to draw their own- conclusion ?Ex. ] Weeds.?One of the greatest nuisance in farming is the way that weeds are encouraged and protected in the crooks and vicinity of fences?from which place theirsceds arc scattered over the surrounding lands. The extent to which seed is carried by high winds proves that one negligent farmer may ' annoy hundreds of farms by failing to exterminate the foul herbage. Could the evils be concentrated on the farm which nurses the weeds, the consequences would be a proper punishment for his carelessness and criminality? ror criminal is any uiau tvuv uunuico nuisances lhat thus injure the surrounding farmers. Tho fellow who keeps a bull-dog that annovs if not bites the passing travelers, may be reached by the law that is powerless to repress the injury ' occasioned to this neighbors by the ( nurseries if foul weeds which are h.^r- ^ bored ubout his premises?especially in ' the vicinity of his fences. ' ? Negro Shot at Church.?On last Saturday night, during a revival meeting among the negroes, about four miles West of Macon, a negro boy named ' Charles Jordan, slipped into the house ( or church, and placing a pistol within a t few inches of the back of a negre man I named Ned Neal, fired, and then ran out and made his escape.
