HINTS TONEWSPAPEREDITOR8.
One reader cries, yohr strain's too grave,
Too much morality you have.
Too much about religion;
Give me some witch'and wizard tales,
Of slipshod ghosts, with fins and scales,
And leathers like a pigeon.
flove to read, another cries,
Those monstrous fahionable lies
In other words, those novels,'
Composed of king, and priests, and lords,
Of border wars, and Gothic hordes,
That use to live in hovels.
so, no, cries one, we've had enouh
.Of such confounded lovesick stuff
To craze the fair creation:
Give as some recent foreign news
Of Russians, Turks, the Poles, or Jews,
Or any other nation.
The man of dull scholastic lore
Would like to see a little more
Of first rate scraps of Latin;
The grocer fain would learn the pne -
Of tea and sugar, fruit and rice,
The draper, silk and satin.
Another cries, I want more fun,
a witty anecdote, or pun,
A rebus, or a riddle;
Some wish for parliamentary newe,
And some, perhaps, of wiser views,
Would rather hear a fiddle.
The critic, too, of classic skill,
Ifust dip in gall his gander quill,
And scrawl against the paper;
Or all the literary fools,
Bred in our colleges or schools,
He cuts the greatest caper.
Atnother cries, I want to see
A.junbled up variety,
Variety in all things
A miscellaneous hodge-podge print,
Composed. (I only give the hint,)
Of multifarious small things.
I want some marriage news, says mis,
It constitutes my highest bliss,
To hear of weddings plenty;
For in a time of general rain,
none suafer from a drought, 'tis plaiv,
At least, not one in twenty.
I want to hear of deaths, says one,
Of people totally undone.
By losses, fire, or fever;
Another answers, full as wise,
I'd rather have the fall and rise
Of racoon skins and beaver.
Some signify a secret wish
For now and then a favorite dab
- Of politics to suit them;
But here we rest at perfect ease,
For should they swear the moon was cheese,
We never should confute them.
Or grave or humourous, wild or tame,
L or low, 'tis all the same,
Toohaughty, or too humble:
So brother editors, pursue
The path that seems the best to you,
And let the grumblers grumble.

Agricultuure.
From the Southrns Agricduumlist.
GRASSES, &c. FOR SHEEP.
MR. EDITOR: As your valuable work
is open to all spbjects connected with the
husbandry of our country, and more. par.
ticularly this Southern portion or it, I beg
leave to occupy a small space. The grow
ing of wool does not much interest us at
present, but the time is- coining when it
may be necessary for us to make every
edge cut. Whether so or iot, there are
always among us, those. who are fond of
good andsound mutton, and many who
arb deterred from raising sheep by fear of
the rot, and other disorders. My ex peri
ence may remove a portion of that fear.
I take no more than ordinary care of mine
in'winter, but I observe in the pine barren
where they pasture, a species of creeping
pepper grass of which they are very fond.
It comes up early in February, and dies
in the summer. The stimulating warmth
of this food, preserves them in health, and
keeps them free of the rot. and other disee
ses so fatal to sheep, in cold rainy seasons.
Those who ha-ve the pepper grass, and de
sire to raise sheep, should encourage the
growth of it. There are other plants and
grasses, which being pungent, will answer
equally well, and of which sheep are lond.
Among them are mint, penny-royal, and
parsely. Satisfied with my spontaneous
growth of pepper grass, I have not culti
vated either of the last mentioned aroma
tics, but I think their having a good effect
on sheep cannot be doubted. I would ad
vise cultivation of the pepper grass how
ever, in perference, but only because it is
more proper and natural to recommed
more highly what I know, than what I on
ly believe, no matter how confidently. It
is certain however that sheep take freely
all the plants I have named. If this com
munication instructs but one individual. I
shall be happy in having done some little,
towards advancing the husbandry or my
native State. A FARIMER.
Edgefteld.
From the Common School Assistant.
THINGS A FARMER SHOULD NOT DO.
A farmer should never undertake to cul
tivate more land than he can do thorough
ly; half-tilled laud is growing poorer; well
tilled land is constantly improving. -.
A farmer snould never keep more cattle.
horses, sheep or hogs, than he can keep
iii good order; an animal in high order the
first December, is already half wintered.
A farmer should never depend on his
neight or fbr what be can by care and good
management,produce on his own farm; he
should never beg fruit, while he can plant
trees, or borrow tools when he can make
or buy; a high authority has said, the bor
rower is a servant to the lender.
The farmer should never be so immer
sed in political matters as to forget to sow
his wheat, dig his potatoes and bank up
his cellar, nor should he be so inattentive
to them as to be ignorant of those great
questions of national andState policy which
will always agitate, more or less, a free
people.
No farmer should allow the reproach of
neglecting education to be against himself
or family; if knowledge is power, the be
ginning of it should be early and deeply
laid in the district school.
A farmer should never use ardent spirits
as a drink; if, while undergoing severe fa
tigue and the hard labor of the summer, he
would enjoy robust health, let him be tem
perate ini all things.
A farmer never should refuse a fair price
for any thing he wants to sell; we have
known a man who had several hundred
bushels of wheat to dispose of, refuse ,
because he wanted 8s.6Gd., and after keep
ing his wheat six months, was glad to get
6s.6d. fornt.
HITx TO FARMsEas.-It is said that spir
its of turpentine is a deadly enemy of all
the insect tribes, and consequently will de
stroy the bug or worms, which is found to
prey on wheat or other grain. With a
watering pot, finely perforated in the spout,
a person may sprinkle a feld of ten acres,
without using more than two or three gal
lons.
AGRICULTURA.-I f grass and stalks be
ever so thick upon your fields you should
not by any mean-s burn them. They will
soon decay and afford a valuable manure.
but if you burn them, as is the foolish prac
tice of some, you not only lose the manure
but also deaden and seriously injure the
soil by the fire which runs over it.

Just commenced, a new and valuable Month1g
Publication, adapted to the purposes of every
Farmer,-and designed to propagate all Use
ful and Practical Information concerning the
Sill'; Growing in the United States, entitled
THE AMERIOAN
SILK OROWEIR,
AND FARMIAR'S MANUAL.
Embeliihed with appropriate Engravings.
T EHE first number of this highly important
and valuable Work, is now ready for deliv
ery to subscribers. We beg leave respectfully
to call the attention of our citizens to the praise
worthy objects it has in viQw, and for the pro
motion of'which, it has been put in operation.
There has not probably beretofore been a
time when the attention of the people of this
country was as much engaged on the subject of
the Silk Culture as at present; nor a time when
those who have already embarked in this busi
ness felt such entire confidence, not only that
liberal profits thay be derived from it, but
in their ability to produce as good Silk as can
be procured in any part ofthe world. It is be.
lieved that all that is now wanting to fully es
tablish this great interest in this country, with
all its vast advantages, is but the dissemination
of plain practical information concerning it;
and to convince our citizens of what we know
to be true, viz: that there is no more difficulty
about raising a crop of silk, than there is in pro
curing a crop of grain. The capital thus be
stowedyields a fargreater return than can be
obtained from any other branch of husbandry.
The editors have long been engaged in the
silk culture, and intend hereafter to give it their
entire attention. They have made extensive
arrangements for feeding the silk-worm, and
cultivating that invaluable species of mulberry,
the Morus Multicaulis. And, from their long
experience in the occupation and extensive cor
respondence with silk growers, they believe
they ,nay say without ostentation, that the
shall be able to make the AMERICAN SVI
GROWER useful and entertaining, and to
communicate through its pages inrormation as
valuable respecting every branch of the silk bu
siness, as can be elsewhere obtained in the Uni.
ted States. A portion of the work will be devo
ted to noting the modern improvements ofAgri
culture. and such matters as are generally, use
ful to the cultivators of the soil.
The Proprietors respecilolly solicitcontribu
tions on Agricultural subjects generally-- and
also the SilK Growing Business in particular.
Address the Editors, Ward, Cheney & Broth.
ers, Burlington, New Jersey.
The work will be published monthly-every
number comprising twenty-f,.ur large octavo
pages, with the addition of a cover for advertise
ment, &c. and at the end of each volume, a
complete table of contents will be furnished to
subscribers. Terms one dollar a year, payable
in advance, for single subscribers.-Twenty
subscriptions will be supplied for a whole year
by forwarding a current ten dollar bill, free of

All orders for the work, po-tage paid, will be
romptly attended to, if addressed to the Pub

others. who wish to procure this work for the

and the amount of subscription immediately.

PROPOSALS -
FOIL PUBLISHING A
Temperance Journal.
IN COLUMBIA, S. C.
T HE State Temperance Society of South
Carolina, at the late Anniversary Meet
ing in Columbia, resolved to establish, if prac
ticuble, a Weekly Newspaper, devoted to- the
cause of Temperance. The Executive Com
mittee, whose. duty it is to carry this resolution
into effect, beg leave to address the several So
cieties and individuals, in the. States, engaged
in this good cause, upon this interesting subject.
The increasing prevalence and ruinous ef
fects of the use of intoxicating liquors, call loud
ly for some decisive measures to rouse public
attention to this direful evil, and unite the coun
cils and efforts of the benevolent and patriotic,
in arresting its progress. No meansseem more
wisely adapted to accomplish their purpose,
than such a dissemination of facts and state
ments upon the subject, as would be effected by
such a publication. The labours, experience
and investigation of the friends of Temperance
in the Northern States have accumulated treas
ures of knowledge and arguments in thiscause.
But these valuable materials are excluded from
our community, by their being mingled with
speculations hostile to our domestic institutions.
The only way' therefore, in which the interest
ing details and powerful reasonings, contained
in the Temperance publications of the north,
can be given to the public here, is through the
columns of the proposed paper. It is thus
manifest that the best interests of our State, and
the progress of the Temperance Reformation,
so vitally important to public safety and happi
ness. wil I be most effectually promoted by a
general circulation of the Temperance Advocate.
The following plan will regulate the publi
cation. It will contain
1. Original communications and domestic
intelligence relative to the general subject of
Intemperance.
11. Copious extracts from Books, Pamphlets
and Newspapers, published in other States to
promote the Temperance cause.
Il.. A weekly summary of general and do
mestic news. prices current, &c.
As the friends ofTemperance, the expected
patrons of this Paper, belong to different po
litical parties, and religious denominations, all
discussions of a controversial or sectarian
character, both as to politics and religion, will
be scrupulously excluded.
The general design of the publication is to
furnish every family in the State, desirous of
obtaining it, with full information and authentic
documents as to the direful evils of Intemper
a ce, and the necessity of Reformation.
As the commencement of j Publication can
only be warranted by a large subscription, a
strong appeal is made to the officers of Temper
anee Societies, and the friends nf the cause to
whom this Prospectus is sent, to obtain as ma
ny subscribers as possible.
CONDITIONS.
The South Carolina Temperance Advocate
will be published Weekly, at Columbia, on a
super-royal sheet equal in contents to the Co
lumbia Telescope The price to subscribers
will be Two Dollars and Fifty Cents pr an
num, ifpaid in advance, or Three Douare, at
the close of the year.
In order to fill the subscription without de
lay, it is respectfully recommended to Temper
ance Societies to subscribe for a number of
copies for gratuitous distribution.
Tlie Executive Committee earnestly request
every Gentleman, to whom this Circular is ad
dressed, to act as agent for obtaining subscrip
tions, and to transmit the list of subscribers
obtained to the Hon. John Bryce, Intendant of
Columbia, previously tothe first day of March
ensuing.

TOLEN, on the 11th inst.
from the residence of the

toad, twelve miles above Ham
burg, a Bay Horse, about fifteen and a half
hands high, nine or ten years old, with some
white hairs on one hip, and some few saddle
m;rks-sway backed a little, round body and
well made- in good order when taken away,
w&th $125. The horse I believe was stolen
by a man whose name is Richard Ford, %w ho
was committedtoEdgefeld Jail.on the 26th inst.
for theft, and says he resides in Lincoln Co.
Ga. He is a man of bad character. and issup
posed to have traded said horse not far of, or
sent him away perhaps by some of his associ
ates in Georgia. It is believed he has comrades
in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, aud
that he has paid the penalty of the law at the
the whipping post, as his back has been
well lashed a the scars have not changed
their color yet. The Jailor examined him and
found such to be the case. The said Ford has
recently been trading in horses and mules in
this District, and no doubt all were stolen pro
perty. It is probable that he and his company
ron the usiness on a large scale, as he is
thought to be a noted villain.
The above reward will be given for the de
livery of the horse to me, or for proof to con
vict the thief trading him.
