The Drunkard's Wife. Why dwells that sadness on her brow ? That look of voiceless woe ? O ! why that sad and mournful gaze, Those tones so soft and low ? Why does she weep when ethers smile? Why is she ever sad^ When all around is bright and gay, And other hearts are glad ? Methinks that look of fixed despair, The sternest heart would melt ; It tells of grief th at none may know, Till they the same haro felt. Thea pray and ask thy God" to cheer, Her lonely path of life ; O ! pray that He would kindly bless The drunkard's wretched wife. The drunkard's wife ! what voiceless woe Those fearful words imply ! They tell of gorgeous visions flown, Of golden hours gone by. When he, the chosen of her heart, Wasrstanding by her tide. When yendor broken-hearted wife Became a happy bride ; They tell of nights of wild despair, Of hours of rayless gloom, Of sad and weary moments spent, " In pinings for the tomb." They tell of sacred solemn vow?, All rashly broken now; * Of heart strinjs crushed and rudely rent, Of golden hopes laid low. Bot whence the sad and mournful chango, That bowed that gent?o form ? Whence eame the rude, nc -paring blast, The dark and fearful storm ? The husband* and the father fell-j Ho yielded to the foe, * And now ho treads tho thorny path, That lead8 to endless woe. ; Then wonder not tho cloud is darf, That voils her cheerless life, But go thy way and pray to God, To bless the drunkard's wife. _____ Dickson's Method of xliaking Corn. * Below, we give DICKSON'S plan of planting and cultivating Cont. Mr. DICKSON- is con sidered ?ne of the most succ?s-fui plantera in Georgia, and iny?rrftb'-p makes better, crops of Com than ajay oth? maa in (he Empire State. Hero is his pian, in his own words^ for the management of < om : Examine the land and plow so as to work best to a level, keeinnir.g at the bottom of the hill and finish at tho tcp, by circling round. This to be done with a large- AHeu plow, not hiss than 7 inches, 12 iuches if pos sible, using one or two mules, as may be ne cessary, plowing the ichole surface ; it would materially improve the crop to follow the turning plowwith.a subsoil plow. Li vista orr. Lay off 7 feet rows, horizontally ; use a shovel plow 12 inches at top ; pi?w so that the furrow will remain open 8 inches deep. This will require the plow to bc run twice in each furrow. MANURING AND PLANTING. Drop mauure 3 feet apart in the row, and drop thu Corn 3 to 4 inches from the Corn on the near side tp?jt&o dropped, and cover with a do;.ble tooth harrow, su as to cover the Corn about 2 inches deep. If you apprehend rain or wtt from the situation cl the land, rou a center furrow with the t>ame shovel plo*-, so astodividethe water between the rows. Plant from 10th to 20th of March. WORKING. # Do not commence to work the Corn before it forms a joint within an inch from the ground. This Will- generally be about ien days after it comes up. This working may . be delayed a little if?you aro pressed with other work. HOW THE WORKING IS TO CK DON H. Side the Corn with a 22 inch swer-p, right uping fattened, so as to fill the furrow up "within 2 inches of a level ; finish all the mid dles with two furrows, with the same swetp, both wmg3 turned .up.. SECOND WORKING.. F Run four furrows with sweep, both wings ? turned up ; sweep not to go exceeding rice inch deep, and very close to the Corn, ii tho hand that is driving leaves a*'bunch ol grass with his sweep, he must pull it up, and be sure to leave no grass. This dispenses with hoes. PEAS AND THIRD V.'ORKIXr;. - From 21th May to 15th o? June, open the-) _ centre of tao row with a shove! plow aud plant Peas, covering with the double tooth - narrow. When you get ready to lay hy your Corn, side it with a 22 ir.ch sweep, right icing up, left down. Side tho Peas with a' 2'j inch sweep, right wing down, left wing up. This work is best done with two hands, one with 20 inch sweep to side Pea3, and one with 22 inch sweep to side Coru. The great point to be obtained is to plow shalloic, not to exceed i inch. When this work is Well -done, thc Gelds will be as level as a yard. This is exactly as given by Mr. David Dick son to one troubled with an EMPTY CORN CRIB. Advantages of Pulverizing the Soil. Tho effects of pulverizing or stirring the soil arc numerous : 1. It gives free scope to the roots of vege tables, and they become mero fibrous in a loose than in a bard soil, by which the mouths or pores become more numerous, *Hd such food as is in tho soil has a bet ter chanco of be ing sought after and taken up hy them. 2. It admits tho. atmospheric air to the spongioles of the root*:-without which no plant can make & healthy growth. ?. It increases the capillary attraction or sponge-like property of soils, by which their humidity is rendered mo-e uniform ; and ii a hot season it increases the. deposit of dew. and admits it to the roots. . .4. It increases the temperature of the soil iu tho spring, by admitting tito warm air and tepid raiu. 0. It increft?i; ?he supply of organic food. The atmosphere contains carbonic acid, am .-monia, and nitric acid-al! most powerful iurc'iliz^ei. and solvents. A loose soil attracts in? coudAiiis&i them. ? Rain nnd dew. sho, i ->taiu them.

S. Pulverization,. also, as the combined effect of several of the preceding causes, ac celerates th? decomposition of the organic matter in the soil, And the^ disintegration of the mineral matter;-and thus prepares the inert matter of tho soil for assimilation by the plants. Poultry-Raising. We furnish our readers the following excel lent article en the subject of raising fowls, from the Valley Farmor. We should be pleas ed to see this subject receive more attention at the hands of our planters. . Mensis. Editors ;-I noticed iu the March number of the Valley' Farmer an article, on " Poultry and Eggs." I was pleased *tb see that you talce an interest In so ""important ? branch of tho business of thc agriculturalist. Poultry-keeping is not only profitable, but an amusement in which every family may indulge. The apace needed is not great, and thc luxu ?'of fresh Gggs and homo fattened chickens e ?ll love to indulge iu. Before purchasing your poultry, have your house ready to re ceive them. Suit.yoii:' convenience as to thc expenso of your poultry-house. Some out house inav bo appropriated to the purpose ? with Hide alteration. I would not7 for jroflt, build a costly houxe? but for fancy, persons can build ?.S" costly aTtheir circumstances will allow. The most important matter to be con sidered in the fowl-house is that it should be kept warm in winter, weil ventilated in sum-. mer, clean and dry. I think care should be taken in selecting the choicest kinds of tho rongh-brod poultry for stocking the farra und for breeding. The number of hens to be al lowed to each cock'sbould r.vt. exceed twelve, and I should prefer to have only seven or eight, as the eggs will prove to be more fer tile. Care should be taken that the cock is in good condition and ia perfect health. There is uot the difference that some would like to mako yon think. The large breeds of all kiudH,?if kept in a healthy condition, . pay a good profit. One great secret in treat ing diseased fowls is to- diet. In.fact, if the fowl is ao{ too weak, almost starve it for a few days, give thain plenty of pure, fresh water, and keep them in a cool, dry p?ace, not too tvarm. This treatment has. been the secret jf my success. I have lost but two fowls by my diseojo in the last year, and that was ow-' ?og to neglect. For fancy fowls, the golden lace and .silver lace Seabrlght bantums, prop irly bred, are the prettiest domestic birds. They are said lo havo been imported by the ate Sir John Spabright from India . to Eng and. and by Mr. lYistar, s?f Germantown, to his country, at a very high price. The black jan lum is a most beautiful bird-is a pleas ng little fellow, with glossy plumage and al: uo.'t metalic lustre. The- cock dotes uot ex :eed ? pound iu weight. For c?litiary .pur-' >oses, 1 coasider tho flesh of the Shanghai superior to any domestic fowl, and preferable ni account of size. I have never found any bod equal to them fer table us.;. . Ali kinds )f grain are gool for fowls, but I .-onsidcr ;orn the heit staple food, and oats given oc ?asioualiy a's a stimulating food. ? would re .ommend cracked corn for dicks alter tiley ire two weeks old : I have found it to be tie ms*. Fowls need plenty of food, pure wat'.T, . rtsh air, ranging grounds, shelter from cold md storms, and perfect cl<:an'.iuc?!j in their louses, to keep them in a healthy condition*, deus should n?t be fed too highly bcl'ote they )f;giu to lay and wbi?e laying. I have fi und he chicks from largo bretts ol fowls nwre lardy aud much easier'rai ?cd tl-an any of the maali breeds.

The ea*.y access to market', and tho high*price .hat poultry and c,rs3 demand, should be in lucemc.nt enough to the farmer to select tile itst breeds of fowls lo stock his farm ; ?nd oo muoh attention cannot bc1 given to their :*tre and management. . . . -j IT. M. B. SHKEI' KILLING Docs.--A correspondent; rf-ibo liiehmond Whig gives thc following: Let rue publish to ??he sheep-missing world t remedy against tbs (lestruc: ion of Cheep by jogs which was given me a short time since \>y a,highly respectable and valuable friend, himself an extensive wool-trrowcr. In eon lists simply iu placing on one sheep in every lc-.: of the flock a bell of ibo usual size lor sheep. The reasoning of my friend is in Ibis iviso : Thc instinct of tbe dog prompts bim to do ail his :;ctii in a sly, stealthy ninnner ;. his attacks upon sheep are mort frequently made at night while they arc at rest, and thc ?Hidden and simultaneous jingling of all the bells strikes ter-or to the dogs-tljey trna tail ami leave thc sheep, frariug thc noise ot' the bells will lead to their exposure. This ration of bells might be made to vary according to thc size of thc flock. The importance of sheep preservation from dogs, thc writer hopes, will claim for this communication an inser tion in most of the papers of this State, that a remedy so cheap.and simple may be fully j tested. . ,--f-^j* RsciPE-FOR THE TIMES-I have tho oppor tunity of knowing that many persons- use flour whocan not procure lard; a ad as the time? are hard, J will give a plan for making bread which I at all times regard as infinitely better than bread made of hog's grease and physic (soda, saleratna, cream tartar, &c.) Take the quantity of flour to be used, with salt added to suit the taste; pour upon jt boil ing water, stir with a spoon, and when suffi ciently cool to handle, place the dough upon a board covered, with flour, and roll it to thc thickness of half au inch; cut about the same width, and roll it round with your hand as youwould marbles; then bake in a bot pot ?lave or oren (covering the vessel with flour) until brown. This bread will be light, nice and ?weet. It rises upoii thc principle cf expansion by heat. Persons who imagine they can not eat bread which docs not contain fat and drugs, may usc butter or fyrup, and the most culti vated taste scarcely observes tho difference. Thia I have ec*>u 4ried upon tho mo3t faati dious. T VEC.ETEBIAS. -?-? - TUE Wortnt OF A Goon GARDEN-_Who ha? made the esimate ? not ono in fifty.

This is victory"-waa the reply of the eloquent orator. - At this time such confidence is universal. The Richmond Exainmer, id ono of its pun gent articles, demonstrates that the Yankee army does not fight as it did in-the second year of the war. The .causes are nnmerous and obvious. All the recent conflicts of our arms have testified the truth of tS?s position. The success of the enemy at Vicksburg,Port Hudson and Missionary Ridge furnish no con tradiction. In all. these, overwhelming num bers, and a combination "of adverse circum stances carried tho day against us. In Flori da, Mississippi, and on Johns Island, the pres tige of Fredericksb?rp?

Yank?es and negroes aro the forces our troops are now to tricot. Tho year 186-1 has opened with the most encouraging ^uspisces for us. This confidence, which is victory, abounds throughout our armies. "Big talk is taking the place of depleted armies among our foes. Grant and bluster are to supply their failure of recruiting.
