Sommer moacboams softly playing, Light tho woods of Castle Keep; And there I sse a maiden straying, Where the darkest shadows creep. She is listening-meekly, purely, Zo the wooer at her side ; 'tis th? s* ol?, old story," surely, RuO?lng cu like time and tide ; Maiden fair, ah! bu ve a care : Vows are many-truth is rare. Ho is courtly, she is simple ; Lordly doabtlet speaks bis Tot; Bbc is wearing hood and wimple His tho castle, hers tho oot. Sweeter. ?iy abe deems bis Wisper Than tte eight-bird's dulcet trLl; She is smiling-he beguiling 'Ti* the " old, eli story" still. Maiden fair, oh! bave a care ; Vuws are many-truth is rare. The autumn sun is quickly geing Behind the woods of Castle Keep; The air is chill, the night wind blowing, And th-re I see a maiden weep. Her cheeks aro whito, har brow is aching The " old, old ?tory," sad and brief ; Of heart betrayed, and left, uigh breaking, In mut? despair and lonely grief. Haidens fair, oh ! kare a esra ; Ywwa are many-tra h i? rare. J?nners' ftpriment. . Cotton or Grain? Shall cotton or grain be our main cror this year, is a question of no little mo ment at this time. In our impoverished condition, the fu ture more than ordinarily uncertain, anc free labor a problem of doubtful solution it is natural that every body should de sire to plant all the cotton possible, whicl will pay at least $150 per bale, and i the season be favorable, enable the plan ter to buy his provisions &c, and lay bj something for contingencies. Many are going to mtike cotton theil sole crop-planting only little corn 01 other grain. Everybody is going t( plant some cotton, and those who- nevei saw a cotton stalk are now buying seed and calculating with paper and pencil th< great returns they are going to make Cotton presents thc readiest means o making money, and therefore, all are ha in band to his Majesty-now, more thai ever, King. But there is an old economi cal adage-"dont put all your eggs ii one basket"-which might be ad van ta geously remembered by the cotton-wor shippers. If the season should be unfa vorable, if the worm, the grasshopper, 01 any of the other "enemies of the " grea staple" should make the crop a failure aud bring all the pencilled estimates o profits to nought-nay, make the result after paying the freedmen and supporting them, a loss instead of a gain, where L the money to come from to buy provis ions, &C? Ot suppose that the crops 01 the Nortb West should fail, or be insuffi cient, and prices advance Considerable above the present high standard, evei supposing that we do make the cotton wt expeot, and get $150 per bale for it, i we cannot buy provisions or are obligee to pay an immense price for them, when is our profit *? Last year all the labor that was availa ble was employed in growing corn anc wheat, and yet it is an admitted fact tha the supply of breadstuff's in the country now, is insufficient, and that this is one o the causes of the present high prices 0 grain. The supply of labor is now ma terially reduced below what it was las year, both in quantity and quality, and i it be almost exclusively employed in th< production of cotton, to .? the neglect o breadstuff's, we may depend on it tha when driven to a Northern mark et to bu} all we want, and thrown on the tendei mercies of railroad companies to brinj us what we buy, we will find that th* magnificent ptofits of our cotton, if we realize them, will pass out of pocket; into those of " our friends of the greai North West," of whom we beard sucl flattering tales during the war, and inte the insatiate maws of the railroads, t< whom the direst popular necessity, is tin most favorable opportunity. Thc temptation, to plant cotton is ven strong. It will certainly pay largely i we make a crop ; but that if depends 01 two other ifs, namely : if the season bc favorable, and if the freedmen " conclude to work." It would be wise, therefore to guard against contingencies, and- lei each agriculturist, whether he be the large planter with his thousands of acres, ot the humble firmer, plant enough of grail at least for his own use, and then he ma) woo the smiles of King Cotton as mud as he pleases. w Make all the money we can this year and sell out,'1 is the cry of petulance and impatience, and has no wisdom in it, foi it amounts to the same thing as killing the goose; that lays the golden egg*. . * * * Plant cotton, bat remember that roast ing ears are not to be despised ; that a few bushels of wheat at home, without sending to Cincinnati to get them, and them sending to the depot day after day to see if they have arrived, are a great conurbation to comfort ; and that a little rye for a grazing patch, and other purpo ses, may be cultivated with advantage, ii used in moderation.-So. Banner. Pr ot ec ..iii g the Peach From Sering Froats. We learn from the Northern papers, that the severe frosts of January last, have killed the blossom buds of the peach ?o generally, that the crop may be con sidered a. failure. We are, then, sure of a ready ?ale of all the fresh fruit that can be bent from Southern points on the rail roads near enough to Charleston or Sa vannah, fe>r it to" reach New York in good condition? The like remark holds good of places that lie west of this, on rail roads connecting with the great western cities. The only obstacle we have to contend with, or ever do have to really endanger our peach crop, is late spring frosts. Against these, a perfect protec tion is found in smoke, which, first re commended in Gardening for the South, has now been tried in this vicinity for over ten years, without a failure. We have tried it ourselves repeatedly, while a neighbor and friend makes yearly pre paration for the preservation of his crops in this way. He has always been success ful in saving his fruit by our plan; and any one who will g follow our directions, can make a crop of peaches-frost or no frost. It is not necessary here to do any thing ge?erally,:.irt the way of'protocting . the font, before the Jost of March* Jfc js the late March and April frosts that are to be feared; It is a dense smoke, not heat, that is required. . ( JE^epare s?cie fat lightwood, split up .vjery f?a?.'?^^?me billets: of dry-wood, . eut quite short-, ail kept under co vor vitt i 1 ?txeeeied. Prepare also, in advance, pifes of wet tan, chips, saw-dust or other damp * s?fflbuBtjMes, where-,fires:are most likely, to be neeo?dri Th? wood"Should be dis two or fferw o dock a tho ?ns?g, foto J all hands tip and start fir?e,* about two or three rods asunder, all over the orchard, the windward ones being-nearest. 'Three or four sticks ?re required for each fire, which, when well itarted, should* have a stick or two of green wood added. Then put on and nearly smother the fir? with the wet tan or trash. If any pile breaks out into a ?ame, apply more trash, to keep up, from dampened, smouldering fires, a curtain cf moist, heavy smoke over the trees, uatil the sun .is weil up, and the frost, fuliy extraoted. The smoke from fires of dry wood is so light, and Hies so' raf idly in a cold, frosty night, that it really affords no protection, while that from clamp material, loaded with moisture, hugs the ground and dissipates very slowly.. If your fruit is frozen solid before you begin, or while you are at work, do net despair, but make all the smoke you can, and as light a protection as it seems, looking through it when the sun is rising, we have bad it so fully pro tect the frozen fruit from rapid thawing, i hat the fr?A3t waa all extracted without injury to the fruit. In our firtt trial, we were about giving up in despair, the cold was so intense at day-break, but our suc cess was perfect. At this place, the fruit \ s very seldom, indeed, destroyed before April.Th which month not more than one or two frosts are to be expected, and against these ?tis well ;oprovide.-South ern Cultivator. A Great Farmer's Maxims, i We havu already made a notice of a discourse by Rev. L. M. Glover, D. D., Jacksonville, Ul., on the death of Mr. . Jacob Strawn who was spoken of as :t The I Great American Farmer," and who died , at Jacksonville, 111., in August last. His biographer has recorded many excellent i characteristics of this w distinguished far f mer," who has met with great success in - all his business operations, which is attrib r utable chiefly to the following maxims, which we copy for the -benefit of those . farmers who are somewhat tardy in per ? forming the operations of the farm. ) " When you wake-up do not roll over, p but roll out. It will give you time tc , ditch all your sloughs, break them up, i harrow them, and sow them with timothy . and red clover. One bushel clover tc f two bushels timothy is enough ! t "Make your fence high, tight, and i strong, so that it will keep cattle and - pigs out. If you have brush, make your i lots secuto, and keep your hogs from th? - cattle, for if the corn io clean they will . eat it better than if it is not. "Be sure to get your hands to bod by . ??even o'clock ; they will rise early by t the force of circumstances. , u Pay a hand, if he is a poor hand, all f you promise him ; if he is a good hand, , pay him a little more ; it will encourage ; him to do still better, j " Always feed your hands as well as ? you do yourself, for the laboring mer f are the bone and sinew of the world, and - ought to be well treated. r MI am satisfied that getting up early, i industry and regular habits are the beal ? medicines ever prescribed for health, f " When it comes rainy, bad weather, r*so that you cannot work out of doors, ; cut and split your wood. " Make your tracks when it rains hard, - cleaning your stables, or fixing something 1 which you would have to stop the plow t. for and fix in good weather. t " Make your tracks, fixing your fence i or a gate that is off the hinges, or weath {' erboarding your barn where the wine - has blown oil' the sideing, or patching thc t roof of your house or baja. f " "Study your interests closely, and ; don't spend money and time in electing f -Presidents, Senators and other small t officers, or talk of hard times when spend ing your time in town whittling on store r boxes etc. * ; "Take your time and make your cal 5 culations ; don't do things in a hurry, bul ; do them at the right time, and keep your i mind as well as your body employed.' i Compost Heaps, ?cc. > A few hints just now may b-? of use tc ' some persons who, like myself, believe that manure is not only worth having, but that it is worth saving, and worth ;? little trouble in making. Now is the 1 time; winter is coming on, and most 1 farmers are pretty well through with their ! field work (except fall ploughing,) let us ? see how much larger the manure heap < can be made this year than it was last, 1 and see how many more acres wc can ' spread it over than we did this fall. Have you got five or ten acres ol 1 woodland on your farm ? Then, gather up now, before winter sets in. twenty 1 large loads of leaves; if you have not time for so many, get all you can-the i more the better-and spread them in your bam-yard ; they make first rate bedding for your cattle; they prevent ? any loss cf liquid or solid manure, and they are of themselves one of the best manures you can get. Have you a ditch to clean out-a pond 1 that is nearly filled with leaves and mud, . that has been collecting in it for years ? See to it at once, and don't throw the dirt away, or haul it out to the road to get rid of it, but heap it up somewhere near your barn, where you can get at it to tum it, and mix some refuse straw, leaves and a little limo with it, before spring. There may be some old rotten logs or stamps lying about in your wocds ; don't let them stay there any longer; they will do you more gcod if scattered on your cultivated ground than if loft where na ture let them fall. If you think k won't pay, sit down and count the cost. The leaves cost you nothing ; your team is standing idle in the stable; your man is like yourself, not got much to do ; this morning, to be sure, there is a little corn yet to husk, but it is so damp from the heavy rain last night that it won't do to get at it yet. Now hitch up and go to the woods--you can get two loads before dinner, which will add at least one load, to your manure heap; when hauled out next spring it will , cover at least nine square rods. Many farmers would givo and do give $1.25 for such a load, and haul it two or three miles, and here you can get it for nothiug and have only a half mile to haul it,-Ger mantown Telegraph, Nov. 10 EGGS FOR BURNS.-The white of an egg has proved the most efficacious reme dy for burns. Seven or eight successive {hourly) applications of this substance soothe pain, and effectually exclude the burned parta from the air. This simple remedy is far preferable to collodion or even cotton. A new establishment, for the cure of goutand rheumatism, has been establish ed near the town of Botnen (Tyrol.) The method and the material of curing is, in deed, a very elisions and simple one. lt consists in covering th ^patient up to his neck in hot hay,, just brought in from the meadow. .So covered he munt.:lie fur ? pcn^hourSa^d in?ale'?b'e:hot,e3^J?|.iojis .^t&Uj, t8?V?r??er. . ??& hxtc *!?*d/Wa ireaefitteiL -' -Preserve the Harness? Take of castil? soap one pound, bees wax two ounces, neatsfbot oil one pint, alcohol one gill, ivory black ono ounce, gum arabic one ounce.

If not of the consistency of oil, mako it so by I gently evaporating a portion of the water. Wash tho harness clean and apply. If yourhirness is stiff and ' hard, take the firat opportunity to give" it a thorough coating of this mixture, and when once pliable, keep it so. The leather will last double thc length of time that it will if never washed or oiled. t ' ?> ? POULTRY RUINING AT LARGE.-Do mestic fowls running at large do much, better than they will if restricted to nar row limits in the coop or yard. Their health is improved, their flesh is better and finer and better tasted, they will pro duce more eggs at large than in confined situations. The turkey in particular is a strenuous advocate of the largest liberty, liens in a garden are a nuisance, but there is no necessity of being troubled with them. A common picket fence, six feet high, will effectually exclude them ; it being well known fowls rarely attempt flying over such a fence, and when made plain, such a fence costs perhaps a? i itt le :is almost any other. Fun. Frolic and Amusement. AN AWKWARD MISTAKE.-A farmer who had bought a ca";f from a butcher, desired him to drive it to his farm and place it in his stable, which he according ' ly did. Now it happened that very day that a man with a grinding organ and dan cing bear, passing by that way, began their antics in front of the farm. After i amusing the farmer's family for some ' time, the organ man entered the farm house and asked the farmer if he could give him a night's lodging. The farmer ' replied that he could give the man lodg 1 ing, but he was at a loss where to put thc > the baar. After musing a little, he de termined to bring the calf inside the 1 house for that night, and place the bear in the stable, which was done. Now the butcher, expecting thc calf would remain in the stable all night, resolved to steal it ere morning, and the farmer .ind his guest ; were in the night awakened by a fearful yelling from the out-building. Both got up, and, taking a lantern, entered the stable, when the farmer found, to his sur prise, the butcher of whom he had bought the calf m the grasp of the bear, which was hugging him tremendously, for he 1 could noi bite, being muzzled. The farm 1 er instantly understood the state of the case, and briefly mei tioned the ci roam ' stance to the owner of Bruin, who to 1 punish the butcher fo.: his intended theft, 1 called out to the bear, " ling him. Tom my ;" which the bear did in real earnest, 1 the butcher roaring most hideously tho whole time. After they thought he had suffered enough, the}' set him free, and > ihe butcher slunk off, glad to escape with his life, while the firmer and his guest returned to their beds. RECIPES.-We present the following recipes for the usc of families and others , whom it may concern. They have-been ' collected from the most reliable sourcss I and experienced authors. To make a mess-Pour a quart of mo lasses into your wife's bonnet. I To keep fish from smelling-Cut off , their noses. ' To make blackberry jam-put twenty four black-berries into a goose quill. To make a cord of wood go a great way-Leave it out doors. It has been known to go two miles. To cure a felon-Suspend "by the neck \ about half an hour. " What is that ?" said thc Sundy School teacher, pointing to thc letter 0. "Dun no," said the urchin. '* What do you say ' when you stump your toe?" continued ? thc lady. "Dammit," was the precocious reply. A clergyman lately addressed his female auditory as follows :-" Be not proud that_ our blessed Lord paid your sex the dis tinguished honor of appearing first to a female after thc resurrection, for it was only done that the glad tidings might be spread the sooner." Too SHARP.-An amusing incident is * told of a woman in England, whose hus band, a wealthy man, died suddenly, without leaving any will. Thc widow, desirous of securing thc whole of the property, concealed her husband's^ death and persuaded a p?or shoemaker to take his place while a will could be made. Accordingly, ho was closely m nilled in bod, as if very sick, and a lawyer was called in to write the will. Thc shoema ker, in a feeble voice bequeathed half of the property to the widow. " What shall bc done with the remainder?" asked the lawyer. "The remainder," replied he, "I give and bequeath to the poor little shoemaker across thc street, who has al ways been a good neighbor and a deserv ing man," thus scouring a rich bequest for himself. The widow wa3 thunder struck with the man's audacious cunning, but did not dare expose thc fraud, and so two rogues shared the estate. They tell a story in New London, Conn., which runs thus : " A green grocer in Groton sent his clerk to New London one morning last summer with a bag of green oom to dispose of. The young man was gone all day, at night returned with his bag of green corn on his shoulder, and dumped it on the floor, with the remark : "There's your green corn : go and sell it yourself-I cant.'' " Why," said the gro cer, " haven't you sold any ?" ""Sold any ? No," said he, " I've been all over New London with it, and nobody said anything about any green corn. Two or three fel lows asked me what I'd got in my bag, and I told them it was none of their business !" A Dutchman had two pigs, a large one and a small one. The smaller one being the elder, he was trying to explain to a J customer, and he did it in this wisc : "The , little pig is the piggest." Upon which i his wifi.', assuming to correct him, said : f J< You will excuse him, he no speak so j good English as me ; he no mean that the < little pig is the piggest, but the youngest pig is the oldest."
