Pr GET UP BEFORE THE SUN. Get up before the sun, my lads, Get up before the sun ! This snoozing in a feather bed, Is what should not be done. Between sunrise and breakfast, lads, Rise and breathe the morning air, 'Twill make you look so bright, my lads; 'Twill make you look so fair. Get up before the sun, my lads, Shake off your sloth-arouse I You lose the greatest luxury, That life has, if you drowse. Between sunrise and breakfast, lads, Arise, tben, and do not lose, The key to health and happiness, By lying in a snooze. Get up before the sun, my lads, And in the garden hoe, Or feed the pigs, or milk the cows, Or take the scythe and mow. 'Twill will give you buoyant spirits, lads, Give vigor to your frame Then rise before the sun, my lads, And these rich blessings claim. Culture of Broom-Corn, and the Mann facture of Brooms. As the culture of Broom-Corn and the Manufacture of Brooms seems to be an increasing and a profitable branch of bu siness in the State, we give our readers below, an article upon that subject, writ ten for the Patent Office Report, by SAx FORD HOWARD, one of the Editors of the Cultivator. Perhaps some enterprising citizen of Edgefield may conclude to un dertake a speculation of this sort. If so, much help may be derived from Mr. IOIWARD's explanation of the manner of conducting the business. We may here add that in making ex tracts from the Patent Office Report, we presume it to be (what at any rate it should be,) the most authentic and reliable source of information and instruction upon those branches which come under its supervi sion.-[ED. " Having a few hours to spend at Sche nectady about the first of September last, our friend, Mr. Charles H. Tomlinson, kindly accompanied us to several places in the vicinity, and among the rest to the broom manufactory of Messrs. Van Ep pes. They have been engaged in the bu siness about eleven years. They have a farm of about 300 acres, 200 of which are Mohawk flats. A large portion of the flats was formerly of little value, in consequence of being kept wet by a shallow stream, which ran through it, and which, together with several springs that issue from the sandy bluff on the south side of the flats, kept the ground -- marshy, and unfit for cultivation. By deepening the channel of the stream, and conducting most of the springs into it, many acres, which were formerly almost worthless, have been made worth $125 per acre. They have also, by deepening the channel, saving the water of the springs, and securing all the fall, made a water privilege, on which they have ereet ed an excellent mill, wvith several run of stones, leaving besides sufficient power to carry saws for cutting out the handles of brooms, &c. " They have this year about 200 acres of the flats in broom-corn. The cultiva tion of this article has within a fewv years been simplified to almost as great a de gree as its manufacture. The seed is sown with a seed-barrowv or drill, as early in spring as the state of the ground will admit, in rows 3} feet apart. As soon as the corn is above ground, it is hoed, and soon after thinned, so as to leave the stalks 2 or 3 inches apart. It is only hoed in the row, in order to get out the wveeds that are close to the plants, the remaining space being left for the harrow and cultivator, which are run so frequent. ly as to keep dowvn the weeds. The cul tivation is finibhed by running a small, double mould-board plough, rather shal low, between the rows. " The broom-corn is not left to ripen, as formerly, but is cut wvhile it is quite green, and the seed not much pass the nmilk. It was formerly the practice to lop down the tops of the corn, and let it hang some time, that the brush might be come straightened in one direction. Now, the tops are not lopped till the brush i ready cut, which, as before stated, is while the corn is green. A set of hands goes forward, and lops or bends the tops to one side, and another follows immedi ately, and cuts off the tops at the place at wvhich they are bent, and a third set gath ers the cut tops into carts or wvagons which take themi to the factory. Here they are first sorted over, and parcelled out into quite small bunches, each bunch being made up into brush of equal length. The seed is then taken off by an appara tus with teeth, like hatchel. The ma chine is worked by six horses,'and cleans the brush very rapidly. It is then spread thin to dry, on racks put up in buildings designed for the purpose. In about a week, with ordinary weather, it becomes so- dry that it will bear to be packed closely. " Trhe stalks of the corn, after the tops have been cut off, are five or sisc feet high, and they are left on the ground, and ploughed in the next spring. It is found that this keeps up the fertility of the soil, so that the crop is continued, for severale years without apparent diminution. It should be observed, however, that the ground is overflowed every winter or spring, and a considerable deposit left on the surface, whieh is undoubtedly equiva lent to a dressing of manure. " This may be inferred from the fact that some of the flats have been in In dian corn every year for forty or [fifty years, without manure,. and with good cultivation have seldom produced less than sixty bushels per acre, and with ex tra cultivation, from eighty to ninety bu shels have been obtained. In cas of need, the stalks would fur-I nish a large amount of good food for cattle. They are full of leaves which are very nutr'tive, and whether cut and dried for winter, or eaten green by stock turned on the ground where they grow, would be very valuable in case of defi ciency of grass. " Messrs. Van Eppes employ twenty hands during the summer; and in au tumn, when the brush is being gathered and prepared, they have nearly a hundred, male and female. They are mostly Ger mans, who come here with their families during the broom-corn harvest, and leave when this is over. "The manufacture of brooms is car ried on mostly in the winter season. The quantity usually turned out by Messrs. Van Eppes is 150,000 dozen per annum." Draining. As the subject of under-draining, and the manner of constructing drains is just ly engaging the attention of many, the following plan or mode I think, in the ab. sence of better materials, answers a very good purpose. Every farmer who has loose stones on his farm has the materi als at hand; while, at the same time, he may be ridding his land of a great detri ment to proper cultivation. Dig a ditch from 2 to 2J feet deep, and 18 inches wide at the bottom; lay stones 6 inches in diameter on each side, which leaves a water course of 6 inches in the centre; cover it with stone of larger di mensions-if flat stones can he procured for covering, the ditch need not be so deep; then strew straw or shavings on it and cover-a team and plough will great ly facilitate the operation of covering. On this subject the American Agricul. turist says, let not a particle of stagnant water lie on the surface, nor under the surface of the lands you cultivate. One of the best of all blessings is pure, whole sonic running water. But see that it is running and not stagnant. The latter destroys all useful vegetation, all economy in working the land, all h. alth, and all beauty of landscape; it is the loss of eve rything as far as it extends, and breeds malaria and disease for cattle, and all do mestic animals, equally with man. Ma nures are imperative upon wet or spongy lands. Do not be content with removing what is on the surface, for stagnant water, just below, is frequently equally prejudicial to that which is visible. The latter may be removed by under, as the former by sur face drains. In an article on Draining, says the Bos ton Cultivator, it is said, " sonic farmers have no stone or gravel on their premises; in such cases, the ditches must be left open." To this it may be replied, mead ows have been most effectually drained by covered ditches, without the use of stone, gravel or tiles; and yet, the drains run perfectly clear, and have done so, for many years, with no danger whatever of their not continuing so to do, for an age to come. These were filled to the proper height with bushes, carefully selected and placed side by side, and bound in faggots, say a foot or more in diameter and twelve feet or more in length, by a wvire band at every five feet ; and upon them were laid tough sods5, wvith the herbage dlovwnrds ; after which, the drains were filled with~ the opening soil. The use of open ditch es is avoided especially in draining boggy land, requiring the drains to be cut very close together, when closed drains can be so conveniently obtained and cheaply formed. These drains could be cut with shoulders, at the height to which the fag got would extend upwards, and upon these the tough sods, cut widle enough to span them, might be made to rest, so as to resist all downw"ard pressure, and do away all fear, or even the possibility of stoppage.-Farmer and Mechanic. IFacts for Z'armers. It will not do to hoe a great field for little crops, nor to mow twenty acres for five loads of hay. Enrich the land and it will pay you for it. Better farm twenty acres wvell than fifty acres by halves. In dry pastures dig for wvater on the brow of a hill, springs are more frequent near the surface on a height than in a vale. The foot of the owner is the best ma nure for land. It is best to cut grain before it is fully or (lead ripe. When the strawv immedi ately belowv the grain is so dry that on twisting it, no juice is extracted, it should be cut. For there is no circulation of juice to the ear. Every hour it stands uncut after this stage, is attended wvithI loss. Obtain good see, prepare your ground well, sow early, and pay no attention to the moon. Accounts should be kept detaiiling the expense and product of each field. When an implement is no longer want ed for the season, lay it carefully aside, but first let it be wvell cleaned. Cultivate your heart aright, as well as your farm; and remember " wvhatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." Do not begin farming by building an extensive house nor a spacious barn till you have something to store in it. Keep notes of all remarkable events on your farm. Recording eveni your errors, will be of benefit. Good fences make good neighbors. Experiments are commendable, but do not become an habitual experimenter. Sheep put into fresh stubble are apt to' be killed by eating too much grain. One aninalwell fed is of more value than two poorly kept. Ground once welt ploughed is better than thrice poorly. Cows well fed in winter, give more milk in summrer.. When you see a fence down, put it up; for if it remains until to-morrow, the cat tle may get over. What ought to be done to-day, do it, for to-morrow i't may rain. A strong horse will work al? day with out food, but keep him at it and he will not last long. NevrE be idle. S m u m e ut. The Snoring Room mate. An anecdote has recently been related to us of the celebrated Vinseent De Camp, known well throughout the South West as the most polite man of the day, and a very correct actor. On one occasion, he had been driven hard from morning till night, over the rough roads in the neighborhood of Co lumbus, Ohio, and alighted at the only comfortable inn in the place, very hun gry and tired. Sticking his eye glass to eye, he demanded a hot roast fowl, some good brandy and a comfortable room for the night. The landlord was exceedingly sorry, but he could not give him a com fortable room-the only place lie could sleep would be in a double bed-room with another gentleman. "Very well," said De Camp, "let's have the best you've got." After discussing his supper he turned in, and was soon sound asleep. His slumbers, however, were doomed to be of short duration, for before long he w%'as awakened by cries of "Sir! Sir! Sir!" proceeding from the other bed. " God bless my soul!" said D., thrust ing his glass to his eye, and endeavoring to peer through the dark, " what's the matter, my dear fellow-is the house on fire, or are there bugs in your bed." " Neither, sir; but my God, sir, you snore so terribly that I can't sleep, sir its terrific sir." "God bless my soul!" repeated D., "that over I should be so rude as to snore in a gentleman's presence ? I really ask your pardon, sir; and beg you'll over look it; it was not intentional I assure you." T1 he apology was accepted, a good night was exchanged, and both parties went to sleep again. Soon, however, a rumbling sound was heard in D's bed, every moment growing louder and lou der until it resembled distant thunder. The other lodger driven almost to mad ness, started up and exclaimed "By gracious this is too much-I can't stand it. Sir! sir! sir! Wake up sir !" "God bless my soul! What's the mat tor now? " cried D., starting from his bed, "you seem to be very restless." " Restless sir? I believe you," said the disturbed one, "you have been sno ring again, and I cannot sleep." " You don't say," said D. " Have I been repeating my rudeness to you, sir? I am really very sorry, my dear, but I was really asleep. Good night." Off he went again, and soon began snoring as loud as ever, and was again awakened by his room-mate's everlasting complaints. "Snoring again,~am I sir?" said De Camp, " well the fact is, I have had a hard day's journey and eaten a hearty supper, and if I snore I can't help it." " I have apologised twice," continued D., "and that is sufficient. I am now about to go to sleep again, and allowv me to inform you, sir, that if you wake me up again, snoring or not snoring, I'll just get up and give you the d--est thrashing that you ever had in your life. Good night, sir." Hlis slumbers were d .turbed the re mainder of the night. 0 0 A SOUL ABOVE STEALIo.-The lofty magnanimity and Cato-like sterness of sel f-denial, altogether above their years, which boys sometimes exhibit under cir cumstances of the most irresistible temp tatio:, is strikingly illustrated in the fol lowing anecdote from the N. Y. Mirror. When young Billy Bottom lost one of his fingers a fewv evenings ago, "Old Saratoga" overheard the conversation be tween him and Sheesicks about the loss. " Billy, how did you loose your fingeri " Easy Enough," said Billy. " I 'spose so, hut how ?" " I guess you'd have lost yourn if it had been where mine wvas." "'lThat don't answver my question." " Wall, if you must know," said Billy, "Ilhad to cut it off or else steal the trap." VERY LsIKzLY.--A man was brought up by a farmer, and accused of stealing some ducks. The farmer said he should know them any where, and wvent on to describe their peculiarity. " Why," said the counsel for the priso nr, "they can't be such a very rare breed-I have some very like them in my yard. "That's very likely sir," said the fa mer; "these are not the only ducks of the sort I have had stolen lately." AN odd sort of genius having stopped in a mill, wias looking wvith apparent as tonishment at the rotary movements of the machinery, when the miller thinking to quiz him, asked him if he hand heard the news. "Not as I knows on," rays Jonathan, a what is itY" " Why," replied 'the miller, "they say the devil's dead." " By jings," he exclaimed, "is he,-who tends the mill !" A YANKEE has just invented a suspen der that so contracts on your approach to water, that the moment you come to a puddle it lifts you .over to the opposite side. THE Albany Dutchman says, "that the man who got drunk on small beer, and then undertook to cut his throat wvith a mackerel,. has had his sentence comnmu ted for one month, " JAKE" said an old farmer to' Oe' of his sons, "do you know howv many horns there are in a dilemma." " No," replied Jake, " but I knowv many horns there are in a quart of whiskey." THE EDITOn of ari Eastern paper says that many of his patrons would make good wheel horses, they "hold back" so well.

MAaSnAL,-Dear Sir: In compli inee with your request, I make this simple state ment of facts. My boy Daniel stuck a thorn in his foot about the first of last June, the thorn was extracted, and no inure thought of it for 15 or 20 days, his foot then began to swell, and iii a rew days it was opened. It discharged a large quantity of matter. The discharge continued for eight days, and then ceased. His foot then re-commenced swelling and extended up his leg, thigh, and hip, with violent pain. He then be gan to spit from his lungs matter similar to that discharged from the abscess on his foot. I then called in medical aid, and from the remedies used, he was alternately better and worse for eight or ten weeks. During this time a large abscess formed upon the hip, the discharge was large, and as soon as it ceased, a general swelling of his leg, thigh and breast commenced, which was very hard to the touch, and at times experienced much difficulty in swallowing. Medical aid seemed of no further avail, and was discontinued. I then had recourse to your " Magical Pain Eradicator." In forty-eight hours, from the time I commenced its use, his foot began to soften ; the swelling on his hip and breast subsided, and I am pleased to say he is now well. I again used your remedy in a ease of Neu ralgia, with great success, giving immediate re lief. I have tried it also for Tooth-Ache, with my youngest child, with entire rccess. From the success I have had in the use of your " lagical Pain Eradicator," I have no hesi tation in recommending it to the public. Yours truly, W. W. HUGIIHES."

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth and professional acquirementm, will compare favorably with the most distinguished in ourcoun try. The medical faculty constitutes an anomaly in this or any other country-all of them are able lecturers and thte best of teachers. Those who will contemplate our geographica. position, and the extent of our populauon, carr have no doubt as to the elIgibility of our situation for an enterprise of the kind. As to health, inclu ding all seasons of the year, we deny that any other city has more. A common error exists in the minds of many students relative to the place of studying medcie those who intend practicing among the diseases of the West and South should certainly educate theim selves at a school whose Faculty are pie~ acuinted with those diseases. That the public may be satisfied of the perna nency of this school, we feel it ourdt~yte~sae that the Trustees and Faculty forna untin acc . which atugurs well for its futr diesj~ neta the peculiar internal organm t~n,td onet them, cannot be interrupted-.
