Mother behold ! the seed hursts forth ;
'Tis what thy careless hand hath scattered,
The scentless rose has no more worth,
It's vaso so beautiful, is shattered.
Your child, once pure as angel's thought,
Takes the sin-serpent in her keeping;
To her, all holy things are nought.
In her all noble things are sleeping.
She probes a sister's bleeding heart,
Not with sort touch, to 1 eel or cherish,
But further yet to tlmrst the dart,
On which hope's fairest children perish.
She wipes the tear of grief away,
Tis but afresh to set it fleeting,
And only by the slow decay
Of broken hearts her own Iceps beating.
'Tis she whose slamlcr-vciiotncd sting,
Sends to the church yard many a mourner.
To weep, where only sweet birds sing,
O'er some poor grave in some lone eoi n< r.
Her faee is fair, her proper speech
In set. soft accents, apt and winning,
Flows as 'twere very sad to teach
How every i-nr but her is sinning.

The Surrender of Cornwallis.
bv libit, cum.
Many years nyo it was a custom in the
State of Maine, in most of the towns, to celebrate
the memorable event of the surrender
of Cwinwallis, by going through a moek
performance representing that important
fact in our country's history.
The little town of Waterford, situated
upon tlie banks of the broad and majestic
' ('rooked River," resolved not to be behind
hand in so groat an affair. Accordingly a
meeting was called at the old town-house on
the hill, to make the necessary arrangements.
Deacon Moses Jones, as lie was called, was
chosen to enact the character of Washington,
nud 'Squire' llijcr Wood the character
of CornwaUis. The under officers, soldiers,
&.C., were to be. selected by the. selectmen,
whose duty it was to furnish uniforms and
pay such other expenses as the affair should
require.
Now, as Messrs. Jones and Wood are the
principal heroes of this sketch, a short description
of their characters may not be out
of place. Deacon Jones was a wealthy firmer,
proud and religious, (at least be thought
be was.) and was on the whole a\erv w in-.
_ J
thy man. The worst thing flout him was
a bad habit of taking "a drop too much," but
even this was not thought a great deal of,
for everybody in them days took somcthin'
occasionally.
Squire Wood was the village lawyer, very
aristocratic, but withall a very eli ver man.
The Squire imagined that lie knew consider*
able more than what his neighbors gave him
eredit for. This may be safely set down as
his greatest fault, Both the Squire ami the
Deacon were proud of their positions in this
great a flair, and botii meant to do their best.
The morning of the great dav dawned
beautifully. The Deacon, dressed as (Jen.
Washington, and mounted on his " iron
grey," retired willi his men, dressed as ' Continentals
true," at au early hour, to a grove
near the village, where the ceremony was to
uiKe piace.
Cornwall-!* (pro. If in.) was also up and
dressed before light, and stationed himself
with his men dressed as Britishers, behind
the "Hills."
The programme of the day's performance
was as follows: The two companies were to
meet in front of the tavern, on the common,
exchange shots, skirmish a little?in which
Cornwallis was to be most essentially whipped,
and then ingloriously surrender.
At early dawn thousands poured into the
little village, to see the fun and celebrate
the great day. Punch, rum-flip, and gingerbread
were in great demand. At 5) o'clock
the two companies marched into the village I
and arrayed themselves into fighting position, j
reminding the spectators of the time when
"Brave Wolf drew up his men
In style most pretty,
On the plains of Abraham,
Before the < ity."
The two commanders were greatly excited,
and Washington, I regret to say, was in
anything but a tit condition to net out the
great part he was to perforin. He had been
drinking freely all the morning, and now,
when th? interesting ceremony was al>out to
commence, was so liyhl or rnthcr loox?, tlint
it was with difficulty he could sit in his saddle.
He. however, did not know but what
ho was all right, nor did his men. Cornwallis
was not intoxicated, but a little agitated,
or rnthor elated.
Everything being ready, the company exchanged
shots. Bang! wang!! bang !!!
went the guns, while tho two commanders
yelled like so many stuck pigs.
"That's it, (hie) my brave boys! give it to
'em, the owdncioua red coats !" bellowed
Washington.
"On, Romans!" yelled the excited Cornwallis,

"Go it, Continentials!?down with taxation
on tea!" tallowed Washington in a
very patriotic voice. Mid narrowly escaped
cutting his horse's ear off with the flourish
of his sword. The lighting now ceased, the
companies were drawn up in a straight line,
' and Cornwi.llis dismounted and presented
his sword to Washington.
44 Well 'old hoy," said the immortal, as he i
culled his horse's ears with his cocked hat,
"what in thunder do you want ?"
44 Goner.I George Washington!" replied
Cornwallis "1 surrender up to you myself,
sword and men."
44 \ on do, do ye !" sneeringly replied tlie |
General.
44 Yes, General," said Cornwallis, "the]
British l.ion prostrates himself at the foot of j

furiated Washington : "/</' haps you'll call

Cornwallis was tfa'cn, hat only for a tnoj
mcnt, for he jumped up and shook himself,
I and then with an entirely unlooked for recuperation
on tiie palt of a fallen foe. and in
direct defiance of I istoiieal history he pitch
ed into Washington like a thousand of hriek,
and in spite of the t Hurts of the men id'both

Mr. Slang had just married a second wife,
i On the day after the wedding, Mr Sang rej
marked, "I intend, Mrs. Slang, to enlarge J

"Vo i 1110:111 our diary, my dear," replied
Mrs. Slang.
' N ijuotli Mr. Slang, " 1 intend to on- ,

"No: my d.iry.'

"Our dairy! our dairy! our d.iry!" ro- i
oolioed tliu wife, emphasizing each "our'j

Mr. Slang retreated under the bed. In,

j Since I became a subscriber to your spirj

1 whose treatises have shed so much light on
I agricultural processes; s'.ill for popular use,

I of our own fanners and planters, especially
mm carefully and fully detailed, asexual
i to thehest extracts from foreign publications.
! When one of our own writers s ts f<?rth tlie
reasons why the count) in which lie resides
' lias been successful, or has f.ilcd to produce
full crops of cotton and grain?why in the
months of August and September its cribs
j or meat-houses are well .stored or empty?
he can hardly f. il to imp ut inform .tion of
' great value. Wo all desire to produce good
j crops of the artiele.u hieh is readily cxchange|
able for money; and in our country that nr- ,
I tide has for many years past been considered
no other than cotton. This is a mistake. ; :
Articles of food will as certainly command
tnonay as cotton, and at more rotnuncr ting 1
prices. The same labor bestowed on the I
production of pork, beef, mutton, and pool- |
| try, combined with care mid skillful manage- '
men/, will doubtless yield a far better profit1
I on capital and labor, 'than when given to '
cotton crops. True, it comes in by small |
accessions, and the trade, in the. eyes of
many, seems not to be invested with that
grandeur which wo arc wont to ascribe
to the sale of a cotton crop. It can- |
not be denied, however, that such notions of ;
I grandeur are vastly absurd, and by recent
and painful experience, are shown to be full
of dangerous fallacy. What signifies a large
cotton crop, made, as it alw ys is, at the expense
of more toil and sweat, wear and tear
of capital, than any other known prodit tion
of the earth, when the planter's family and
operatives nro placed under restrictions of
pinching economy?the ultimate income
amounting to little more than enough to pay
off shop accounts or other contingent liabilities
?
Baton the supposition that cotton grooving
is far more profitable than we know it
to he?(Iocs not, or ought not tho planter,
who has to run about in quest of food for
his family, operatives and plow horses, to
encounter a painful sense of humilistion at
such demonstration of his own improvidence?
Ill our Indian corn, wheat, rye and oat crops,
abundant provisions arc within the reach of
every planter in the whole cotton country.
And to say nothing of the comparative
cheapness of home supplies, they arc doubly
valuable, inasmuch aethcy secure to the tiller
of the soil that high sense of personal
independence, certainly among the greatest
of earthly felicities. This love of personal
independence is an essential element of American
character?it is that which gives it
high and honorable distinction, when compared
with other nations, and which, if duly
and wisely nourished, will carry us to an
elevation of rank and power unknown to the
history of any other people.
The insane practice of making cotton to
hllV provisions for t>h.n?- ti. ?
use, is abundantly shown in the comparative
thrift and comfort of those planters who
raise their own supplies at home. There is
scarcely ? plantation of any size or quality
iit the eotton growing states, on which three
to ten acres of well prepared land will not
produce wheat enough for family use?not

impoverished?a great portion of it having
heyti an "Indian field," which had been
cultivated on the scalping system of the
Chorokoes, beyotid the memory of the
" oldest inhabitant."
I'nder the improved system of the present
owner, however?a system based on
the fundamental principles of modern scientific
farming, viz: <h eppUtxrintj and h'ujh
xi'iiiuriii'/,combined with a proper rotation
of crops, an 1 tiie adaptation ot s/xccijic
composts to special clops, the old field of
the aborigines has greatly altered its character
and appearance ; and when we walked
through it, a heavy crop of K.rnriati
W heat waved its myriad heads of gold,
and long rows of dark-green and stateiv
maize tossed aloft their rustling banners
to the passing breeze.
The A'lrnrian Wheal grown by 1 >r.
llattey, originated, we believe, in Italy.
It has been cultivated at "lliverbauk" for
two years; is a verv beautiful wbite ? i.

growth, ur:<l greatly disposed to
spread or "tiller." The present crop was
sown in drills one foot apart, and gave a
line "stand "?covering the ground in a
inn 'h more perfect manner than by the
ordinunj system of broadcast sowing;
(performed as the latter operation mostly
is, without regularity, with the ground
only partially prepared, anil without the
use of a sullieient quantity of seed.) We
do not know the amount of seed required
for an aere, by the drilling method of Dr.
15., but should suppose it less than hy the
common method ; while the "stand" is
more uniform, and the seed, being more
evenly covered, is almost certain to vegetate
and grow off well. This field of
Etrurian Wheat, when examined hy us,
showed scarcely a trace of rust or smut,
and we should have no hesitation in setting
down the yield at twenty-five bushels
per acre, unless some after-calamity overtook
it.
The Corn crop of Dr. Battcy was also

small experiments instituted by Dr.Uattey
tor the purpose of determing the com par

adaptation to various soils; as also th
adaptation of many new plants to tlii
climate, but our limits will not permit u
to enter into a detailed account of then
at present. We must not neglect, liowev
er, to mention a fact that probably man;
of our readers are already acquainted witli
viz: that the celebrated Chilian Clove
(of Patent Office notoriety) and the Lu
cerne (or "French Clover ")arc one am

growth, side by side, and it would requir
the keenest of optics to detect in them th
least difference or variation.
T^.e Garden of "Kiverbank" is one c
its most pleasing and attractive feature!
and deserves far more than the necessar
ly "brief mention" that we are obliged t
bestow upon it. It contains three arret
entirely devoted to the production of vep
etables for "home consumption" ami inai
ket. Underground drains penetrate th
clayey subsoil of this garden in sever;
directions, and the very highest state i
productiveness is obtained by deep ploi
and spade culture, high manuring, and tli
thorough pulverization of the soil. Th
Doctor is peculiarly fortunate in possess
ing a most industrious and intelligent u?
j gro gardener, to whom lie can safely ei
! trust the execution of liis plans; ami tli
amount of line vegetables turned out h
I "old Solomon" in the course of the veal

These Reprints have now been in success10

m the encounter from American perioaieriia of

d t foreign periodicals. Tnis fact shows clearly
h \ the high estimation in which thev are held

a guarantee that they arc established on n
firm basis, and will be continued without ini
terruption.
l- Although these works are distinguished

ss but a small portion of their contents isdevi .ted
to political subjects. It is their literary character
which gives them their value, and in
that they stand confessedly far above all
other journals of their class, Rlrckwood,
H'ill under the masterly gnid-nce of Christopher
North, m intains its ancient celibrity,
and is at this time, unusually nttractivc.from
