From the Philadelphta U. S. Gazette. THE EDITOR SATIN HIS SANCTUM. BY TAM. The editor sat in his sanctum, - In a hopeless plight was he ; Fain would he.fall in a thinking fit, For he was at-the extreme of his wit, As to-what his leader should be, He had reaped his brain so often, The soil'seemed barren grown; The forest of wit was felled'to the stump, The flowers of fancy were gone, save a clump, Where the seed had but lately been sown. He fished in the river of knowledge, But his angling line was short; "Surely there'd plenty of fish in the sea, But it's plain as a whale." quoth he, "In deeper waters they're caught." Be dived to the bed of the ocean, Where the. pearls did erest abound; He raked and sifted the briny mud That lies below the emerald flood, - But not an oyster he found. "Ah? what I shall do 7" he murmured; "The devil will be here soon ; Methinks his tones on my tympanum stir, "The men are all waiting for copy,sir ; And now it is after noon." 'I hath been quoted often, With afull meed of credit, The maxim wise Witherspoon spoke in his day 'Never speak till you're something to say, And stop when you have said it.' "'Ah! good-advice to a parson," He sadly went on to say; "Bnt I would ask, who ever said it. or MIinted such a thing to a hair brained editor, From his birth-to his dying day?" 'He rosein his mental anguish, And turn'd the key to his door; 'The devil soon came, and loudly did knock, But the editor sat as sad as a stock, And the-devil then knocked the more. The editorleaned on his patience, As on a cushioned chair ; And-he sat him down. and he rocked awvay, While fancy began in his mind to play, And thoughts to nestle there., le neither swoie nor cursed. Hedespised a word profane; .(Knd, verily, he who curses and swears, But adds to his sins and adds to his cares And the vice is mean and vain.) The devil and the editor long Maintained the battle and strife; For the inky imp-kept sturdily knocking. And'the editor kept unconsciously rocking, And thinking as for his life. His fancies cane like a morning In the beautiful time of May ; And thoughts, like thp rays of light shone out, And tremblingly glimmered and twinked about Till his mind wvas clear as day. The devil was drumming aiid drumming A rat a-tat on the door ,* Thc editor cared not a whit for his thumps, But quietly rubbed his ideal bumbs. Till the flood began to pour. Dowvn to the tips of his fingers, When he caughitthe paper and pen, And beautiful things from the bodiless air Were call'd into being, and written down there A blessing to true-hearted men. -Truth shone on the fade of the paiper, And the editor's heart was light; For noble the man among noble nmen, Who fears not to ply a truth-telliing jen -For God and fo~r hunin right. He sprang to the door of liie sanctum, As sw ft as a Grecian winner, Who reaches the goal in Olympian race, And the copy he pushed in the ink devil's face And thankfully Wrent to his dinner. F'rom the Southern Cidtitiator. CAN A FARMER BUY IlHS MEAT CHEAPER THAN HE CAN RAISE IT AT HOME? It is a common place remark with a class of strp-shod sort of planters, that "a man can buny his meat cheaper than he can raise it."~ At soine particular junc tures, when con is hi-ghf and meat low, this may be momentarily the case, if'cot t'on happemas to bear a fair pries a? the time. .Takene. foe a series of years, this maxim is devoid of truthb, and ruinns to individuals and: the c~ountry in its efects. And what guarant'y has he that the supt ply of meat from abroad may not fall short, as hasbeeni the case this year with munles ? And no circumstance tends more to bring about: that result than the late very-low prices, which are calculated to dishearten' the Tesmnessen', and prevent his bringing the former quantity tormar ket. This .year meat has been unsually low, and 'thatic~ry fact may add 50 per cent to iis price another year. andl lbe meat buying- farmer whil cind' himself at the mercy ofthe Tennesseeans. To- reason by analhgy this' wil-very likely happen. Any one can-recollect that in 1848, good mules-sold' here for 830 to $35,;and the same- description- brought $75 this past *winter,- What safeguard has-the planter whoaraises neither reat or mules,'against th'es. periodical revulsions- in the market of those arrticles?'-revulsions dependhnt onuthe lay&of supply and demand, which his helpleiur situation prevents him from averting from' his own or lne -whoraies droneaa large market town, may sometimes- make- -moneg by- selling - his corn at a high price, whiich usually his imeat. But the great mass of farmeie live at a distance from a market, and have no such advantages. But if even this one tuins speculator and sells corn, to buy meat,,he will'fihd, in an'ivera;eof years. be wiilinake'butilittle by it.. Let us exainine. the question 6f, meat buying closely. Say two acres of land will produce a bag of cotton weighing 400 pounds'; this, at five cents, will be $20. What would this same two acres of ground produce: if cultivated in corn and fed to four hogs of 'a year old? We have estimated that it produces 800 weight of seed cotton to the acre, according to the above calculation, and land which yields that much cotton will bring 40 bushels of torn. Well, that would be 40 bushels of cord, which, fed to four. hogs of a year old, at the rate of ten bushels to each, would make each one weigh certainly 175 pounds net. Multiply this by four, and we hate 700 pounds of pork as the result, which, at three cents per pound, is $21-a. difference of a dollar against the theory of "it is cheaper to buy than to raise," with the additional advantage of placing the farmer above the contingencies of a short supply and. high prices. - Since we began this article, tn looking over our papers, the following opposite remarks of the Albany Cultivator, on the subject of the pork market, has met our eye, and we transfer it here as a corrobora tion of our suppositions. We had supposed in the usual course of things, this fluctua tion might take place, and itseems that in fact it has taken place sooner than we ex pected: " Defiency~ in the Supply cf Pork for 1844.-We are not surprised at the falling off' in the amount of pork slaughtered in the West last season. From 1839 to 1841, it is well known that an excitemenr. amounting almost to a mania, prevailed through the country in relation to hogs. Improved breeds were sought after with great avidity, and in many instances very high prices were paid, particularly for Berkshires. The natural consequence of this excitement was, first, that unusual numbers of hogs were roared and fattened, and of course the pork market was glutted. The unprecedentedly low prices of pork it the westeru markets, for the years 18-11 to 1843 proved almost ruinous to those farmers who relied on that article for their ehief income. Many farmers were forced to sell their hogs for no more than a dollar and filly cents per hundred, dead weight,' and in some instances for less. They could not stand such low prices, and hence followed the second result of the former excitement, viz: the raising of but a small number of hogs, and ihe falling off in the luantity of pork killed killed in the west ern country lasi year. We see it sta-ed in various papers that the amount packed at Cincinnatti last year was less by ore.third ban 'for the year previous. At St. Lo uis t is said the decrease is still groater; and bhrough the Staie of Illinois there is said to have been a falling off of from one bird to one-half. In Ohio the falling off was much greater, as we are informed, at he interior slaughtering places, than at incinnatti. In the Scioto valley, for nstance, where the number slaughtered at Mine places in 1843 was 121.800, the num er for 1844 is only 18,350. It seems probable, frora present prospects, that pork will command at least rent unerating prices the coing fall, and those farmers whin had the foresight to see this. and have wisely provided themselves with a suffi cient stock of a good breed of hogs, will be likely to reap their reward." So we may expect an increase of price for some time to come, and the same causes which have produced this re-action in Ohio, will probably develope themselves in Tennessee a year later. In time to af'ect the next winter's supply of pork here. Now let us suppose that the plan ter, who purchased his meat last winter at three cents, should have to pay five cents for it the next, and see how our calcula-. tion above will stand affected by it. The 700 pounds of meat at that increased price would be worth $35, which would be a difference of $15 against his anti meat raising system. And wehile these serious changes are taking place, may there not be a decline in cotton ? Such things take place occasionally, as he is aware; and, Itistead of purchasing his meat wvith cotton at five cents, or, in other words, giving a pound of cotton for a pound of meat, may not cot ton fall to four cents. Itt that case it makes the difference stand against' his theory at $19, or very near one hundred per cent. We trust that we hate shown, thmat if at particultrr times, for a short period at best, the plattter does well to buy his sttp ply of meat, with the proceeds of his cot tot? and corn, in the main that plan is de strtictive of his own interests, anxd itn a high degree prejudical to the general wel fare andi prosperity of the community at large. The-farmer is truly' the hone and sinew of the country. H-is prosperity makes all others prosperous, and his ruin, is succeeded by a destruction to all other callings. If collectively, the farmers of a country pursue a correct policy, which results happily to themselves, the whole land smiles; if they pursue the infatuated course, heretofore followed in Georgia, the country is clad in the lugubrious raimlent of' sack-cl'mh- and~ ather.
