-I; From the Philaddpida U. S. Gazette. The subjoined piece of poetry, real poetry, we copy from the Pennsrlvanian. It is a pen dant to one which appeared originally in the United States Gazette, some vars since. and attracted general attention here and in E.ngland; but especially was it read. applauded and cher ished here. after it received the stamp of the London Court Gazette. That was among the first of Mliss Waterman's productions that re ceived particular attention. and was the means of bringing into public notice, and general ap proval, one whose writings give her a high rank irgh the best female poet.< of the country.

S:t,-I have sent yon these lines, consider ing them as a curiosity, having been written by Mr. John Randolph They were obtained from a gentleman of Philadelphia. at present n th., city, to whose father they had been given by that great man hinself', while on a visit at their farm. He says they have never appeared in print, and I submit them to you, that you may if sir, you think it is proper, publish them. The subject of them, lhe informs me, wvas an old Indian of the name of Powles, a very si'iu -Jar man who lived tot his father's land for five years, but died a few days before the period of of this visit. S. A lovely recittie life ha3 led, His coul in dusky musings fed, And dwelled in sylvan nature's arms, For lie felt her sont-entrancing charms; in speechless converse, oft they shared,. And his bosomi'd carcs in thou::ht lie bared To her synmpathisinig view-but never tore, With rude tongue, the silence that she wore, Hecr sacred robe when in mysterious rite, She and some ethterial- mind unite. His breathless corse, she, when all forsook, Received, and to her vivid bosom pressed With any mother's partial love I ween His joys, his sober joys! in then she oft 'artook And she wrapped his sorrows in her mantle green. Now he lies there From that willow The chill wind flings, The leaden rain drops On his earthy pillow, Pit, pit, pat Through the inidnight air From tree to tree. The Owlet and the Bat Flap their boding wings And shriek to the-moonless sky-. Above his head, To insult now deed, . The sparrow hops And picks her food: The Night-Hawk's brood Are heedless fed, And the prowlingCat His footprints leave, -Not dreading w'hat His stealing~ steps achieve List! oh hear ! From the 'jacent swamp Through vapoutrs dim to sight, To feeling damp, The wvhip-poor-will's song Full matny an hour lone, TelLs the minutes of the mournful night In his wvoriny ear And 'nis little momnd. Is circled all around With the cold swamp's blight: O'er his weed- bed thunders roll, 'The lightning flashes Oh ceaseo!-they alarm not his soul, But oh give, give reace to his ashes! DEFiNITION (OF LOVE. A little Sighing, A little Crying, A little Ih'in~r, Agricultural. From the Southern Agriculturist. CULTIvATION OF IRisH POTATOES Potatoes delight most in It rith loam, but not too mhoist. Wet land produces too much topand watery fruit, which will not keep through she winter. and is always strong and unpleasant to the tasse. Very dry land produces a small crop and knotty fruit. Land that is apt to hake (as we commulonly phrase It,) ziould also be a voided. Fir this crop, the earth should be well pluughed so as to pulverize and clear it of weeds. It shouhl I ove not hihm about it to shadc it-a great error in the' cultivation of potatoes is, too much hilling of them. I have found, by many years experence, that if potatoes are planted in a mellow soil, they need scarcely any hilbing. They will hed themselves at that distance from the surfasce of the ground, which gives them the greatest adivantage to procure nourislhntent. This deith, I have obser ved is generally about lour inches; and this depth the plant finds by something which I will venture to call instinct. If the earth in which you plant potatoes should be hard, and ;tot yield to the pressure of the root, it will then tbe necessary to hill them; but great care must be taken ntt to hill them too much; never let then ie covered aibove four incies; and this hillitna must . given niih discretion; for if they have bedded themselves (as they will in imellotw laud) fotr inches, and yout tid Aur itiches stiore of earth, you suhffrocate the fruit. Take ar- example; potatoes. just as they begin to blossom, begin to 6hrm their uibts. If vou leave thesi now, the frit wid :row rapidly; but if you. shoid add if)rt- to the hill. the vouhia bulb, far wait uftat air wahicli can pervade four inche (of e:rth, Will cease to grow, others will bot abuve them, atd this will be the _-e-s of tature so ling as you coutintue ,:aajlen thiem with earth.
