Talking is one thing, and doing, is another. If every man could make his crop on paper, there would be some won- I droes planters in the world,aud soon would t there be a glut in the market.-But to my i experience. . In my second year of farming-i plan ted some cootton. In fact, every body, said, "Farming would never do in the world, that cotton was the only thing which r would bring tbe money"-if every body r grew cora, corn would be worth nothigg- t that we could not make wheat here. and a bence, ouroDly chance was cotton. Well, what every body said. I thought nwst be a true, and cotton I resolved to try. I said I to one of my neighbors, one da?, how shall s I plant this cc,:on of mine . He said t "the best way be thought. in such land t and a dry season, was to run one furrow, v drop therein the seed. and then ridge up -, on it. and when it began to sprout, then c rum a board over to knock off the top of the a rid " I thought a few months on this, an resolved that it would neverdo in the t world, so I asked another. He told me i "to burn off all the grass, weeds and corn valks, then bed up at 3 feet or 31 feet dis tance, with a Twister, very high, as early J as possible. so as to let the beds settle well t before planting, as this would ensure a r better stand-open with a small plough, f put is about 3 bushels to The acre, and i cover with a board. And when my cot- a ten came up, not to be a fool and chop up t the wbole of it like some folks, fur if cotton I was not thick upon the ground it could'nt i cotlon." Another told me, "this was all a mis- z taken notion about bedding up soon, that I if I did not bed up until I was ready to I plant, I would thereby kill the first crop I of young grass as it came up. which was i equal to one working-l might not get so i good a stand, but put on 4 or 5 bushels of I seed and there was not much danger- to i cover with a harrow, and when my cotton 1 came upebo pit out to the proper distance I at once, and as soon as possible, to thin t down to one stalk, about 18 inches dis- I tance." Another thought it would be best i to bed up my cotton as close as possible, I to spot it,-and 'r e greater distance in the drill. As I lia always beard, that in the amittde of counsellers there was wisdom, i - I resolved to try a little of each plan, and I decade for mnyself,by the best of all tests experience. 11 y cotton came up-ine< stand-I ordered my overseer to chop it I out to the proper distance forthwith. Mr. Bo-and-so said "it would ruin it,lI would I not have half astand-thatk was all non sense to talk about young enton being itt- I jured by standing so close." My overseer said. "that the spring was so late, that - cotton never could grow much over knee high, no how, and he thought it ought to1 be left thick, to cotton it all well." It is useins to enumerate the great vs. riety of "*ays to work my crop," which thme godpeple suggented. Every body, I nery, had seone peculiar notion-some1 *ay of their ow~n, which their neighbors I inew noshing about, but whbich they had Iearned by esperience. I soon found nut that, like most peo ple who plant cotton, I lad planted more than I could do-justice A o .U My corn often nedded work, but aamst wait for the cotton-that could'nt *ait." My wheatwas cut and shockedI in the Gield, "it w9S impiossible to get time to haul it In, thfe grass was coming it so strong on Itke - 0USD." A rainy spell' caught it there, an4.when it wer brought bomne, I Ijad the atisfetion of seeing the etraw ruined, and the grain sprouted. Some two or three days were mow lost, to . save what remained, while the grass was powing none the slower. My oats and rye wore allowed to stand lu'the field, till they were dead ripe, my pas were not planted till June, and nall this, owing to the fact, that cotton is our staple. My second year's experience thers, bath, taught me thbis-that a men should geyer plant just as-much as be can caleu late, Invifa band fall sick, he must over task-sherethers, or be swamped, sure, if thse sese ta bed one, at all events, ,.mething wlneglected. 'emain well, the extra labor spent in Ii nacunng, improving, &c.. will tell more, n the profits. than any other labor on the 1 arm. That where a man plauts cotton a is the mait crop, every thing will be neg- 7 ected for it. That as long as a planter's reputation lepends upon the number of cotton bales I ie rolls out every year, he and his overseer 3 ovill think or care for little else. That it is r iot the true policy of the planter. to plant I any one thing to the exclusion of another, >f equal usefulness on the farm. That the eternral cry of "if cvery body I nake corn or a heatwhy. it will be worth I )othing," is a Humbug, for every body, is iot so sensible a body, as people think. rIhat is a poor policy to make eight bags >f coiton to the band, and spend four of I hem for meat and bread. And that two I birds of those planters who make such I nortnous crops, are llumbugs, having :ither light bags or empty corn cribs. r 1IUMBUG, J. Early sown Wheat.-Iu our excursions a diffeirent parts of the country the pre ent season. we hae invariably found hat those fields which were latest sown in vheat last fall, have sufferred the most, I Mm the fly and winter-kill. Now is t his generally the case throughout di'e. ent seclions of the country? If so, it he. f omes an important mter to sow car'. . nd instead of leaving it till the lnst of n eptember, or the fore part of October. is is frequenfoy done bere at the north, it a hould inrariably ie got in as early as the v irst ten days of Licptember. . The only objection nhic!i de have 0 teard to early sowing ic. that it produced A oo rank a growth the following spring; but I his is easily obviated by prsuring it for t i week or two with sheep or young cat- 0 le, tjae last of April. or early in May. 14 We hare been informel that pasturing g vheat in the spriag on rich soils, not- only r enders it less likely to be struck with the a ust, but it also thickens the crop, and 1 ,perates as a l0eventive to the grain be ng lodged When stock is ttrned on to . theat fields, great care should be taken to ec that th-e ground be sufficiently dry to irevent poaching, otherwise it might cauzse :1 erious injury to the crop.

'his is owing to the effect of the vapor in te ntmo-phere in refracting the moon's ght. An erect moon is generally tbrent ning and unfavorble. but particularly enotes.wind thongh if she appear with bort and blunted horns, rain is rather to e expected. One of the surest indics Ons of approaching rain, is the appear nre of a halo around the stn or moon; ifin summer. rain; in winter, snow.) red color of the western sky, at sunset, specially when it has somewhat of a pur le live, is a sign of good went her.

Anecdote of a Druntkard.-A certain man in the State of South Carolina, who was in the habit of drinking very hard. and very long, had become so besotied, that lie was thought by all who knew him to be irrecoverably lost. le becauc at last a very beast in human shape, awl slept frequently in a ditch, or some filthy place. lii friends nould talk to him; but ali to no purpose. At length they ro solved to try an experiment. Very soon an opportunity offered for carrying it into excition. The .old fellow was found " dead drunk."-llis friends stripped of htim of his clothing, procured a glue kettle and brush. gave him a good coat of clue, and then applied cow-hair very plentifully-they fixed claws on biq hands and a cnw's tail in his rear. and left him alone. When he awoke he felt very queer -there was a tighineess of the skin and some constraint in his moveniomts. lie looked at his arms, aud.becane alarmed. liis friends now approached, and carried him to a large looking-glass ; his alarm increarsed, and he exel:iined.

The experiment was eninently succeisful ie signed the Washingtonian Pledge, and conaianues to adhere to it. J. G Moderate Drinking.-When a man he c;tnes a anotorious drukard lie is to he pitied. The sigh: of a man drunk is a Lepalmorable one; hut when we see a man turing aglaas of brandy do-%n Ithi; throat in what is ealled geneel style, and in genteel conpany. the sigtht is . idculous in the extreme, for tie very ren,on for hii folly. Oficn times when ..e say a word about moderate drinkin. we are told th-.t the lusinecs of Wasnigto nians is to pick up drunkards; be it so-, hoiv often is it th-at moderate drinkers in the day timo become genteel drunkards at night.-Many is the man.- and we re ;ret to say it, that passes of-' as a mode are drinker by day. and is, led home runk under night fall. There is no ccuse or moderate drinking. If a man bas not the appetite,why in the name of all that is good does he commence to drink moder ately, to erento a thirst for the infernal poison, that is sure to throw its victim, if t once gets the better of him? One or two things is true of moderate drinkers that they either drink to create a !ove for he liquor that they may now and then get 'uddled.-and just in proportion as a mat i fuddled. he is drunk. We care not which horn of the dilemma the moderate rinker takes. If he drinks his little he cause he already loves it and the stimula tiog eTects it prodtces, he is a drunkard he mny not he a staggering gutter drunk, rd, lut he is a genteel-moderate-drink ing-drunkard.

G. Saphir, says, maids have four ages, viz: the golden from 16 to 21, the silver age fr'om 21 to 2$, the plated from 28 to 35, anti the trotn age fromt 35 to the end. In, the golden age every thing is golden-golden lockit. golden dreams. golden hopes, golden thoughts, &c. The voice sounds like virgin gold, the heart is pure gold, and the aff'ections are gold. The fact is they have bars of splendid gobi, No. 16. 17, IS, 19, atnd 20; hut alas! but few of them carry them to the mint of reason to have them coined.. When a girl is once three times seven years the ;:littering gold is gone. 11er early youi h, the dejeuner a lafopchette of nature. is past; girls of that age,. are nto lontger kept like gold medals in morocco boxes. but commence like silver, to circa tlate among the people. The seven years from 21 to'28, are employed in an inces sant war upon the brutes who but too frequently imitate the example of Fred dictk the Gireat.and await the assaults be hind entrenchmen:s-Girls are most inte restittg at that age. Instead of imitating the larks, in snaring so bigh that but few may hear them.they take their flight nearer the earth, like sw allows in rainy weather. Jn that age they are most amiable, and have the best opinions of men; of course they are on that account most easily ca gedl. The plated age is from 28 to 35. Gold anti silver are i one,and they resort to the various processes of gilding, alivering and plating. They are less pienanift and more piqued. They look upon men with a con-. aiderable mixture of contempt and hatred. They become again reserved and prude. If they have affecttons.they are at best pla ted; they may endnre,ifgood workmanship; but they have not the.valuepof eithef gold or silver, The iron age is the universal deatl of sentiment. The thirty-fifth year is the equater of human life, which divides it ito the Southern and Northern hernis phere. On the Northern there is no Par adise for girli. They now write their farewell letters to all 1-opes and wishes. They conform to iron necessity, and re ign themselves to the iron tooth of time awaiting the day when gold, silver and iron, will have no sound, and nought but tho soul-ever young and fresh-shall arise frotn its iron casetdent. The Rics WorlIMing.-How apt are many, at the sight of a rich worldling to envy him for wiht; he hath; bat for my part, I rather pity him for what he wants. lie hath a talent, but it. wants improve ment; he hatb a lamp, hut it watts oil; he hath soul, but it .vants grace; he bath the creature, but wants the creator In his life he floateth'upon a torrent of vanity, which enmpties itselfinto an ocean of vex ation; and after death, then "take this on profiable servant. hind him hand and foot and cast him into outer darkness. Where now i.: the object of your envy? It isnot his silver that will now anchor him, nor his gold that shall land him. If ai be worth envying, who is worth pitying? if this be bappiness then give me misery. Rather may I he poor, with a good con science, than rich with a bad one. The use of Riches.-The good which is in riches, lieth altogether in their use; like thc woman's hox of ointment, if it be noe broken and poured out for the rkfreshmeat of lesus Christ in his distrossed members, they lose theii worth. The covetous man may truly writo upon his rusting heaps, these ate good for nothing." . He is not rich. who lays up.muchbhut lays out much; for it is all one, not to have, as not to use I will therefore be the richer by a charita ble laying out, while the worldling shall be poorer, by his covetous hoarding up. Old Authwr. Independence of the Press.-The press. With bling. unreflectin.' ignorance, they rally under the banner of some political demagogue, and then proscribe all who presureto have an honest opionion of their own.
