(of frovidercf, r. c.)
How sweet to me,
Each thought of thee,
When roving o'er these hills,
Whore dancing streams,
In silver beams
Glide down the mountain nils.
The deep blue sky,
From mountains high,
Doth charm my lunquid heart,
While memory,
Still true to the,
Will oft a pang impart.
Had fate been kind,
And I less blind,
Our joys had known no blight;
And fortune's frown,
Would not thus drown
The hopes of my delight.
If thou my dear,
VVert with me here,
Upon these lofty spires,
Where breezes blow,
In murmurs low,
Like notes from fairy lyres.
One truant thought
Could not bo brought
Within our soeial realm.
Hut day and night.
With ceaseless llight,
Would pain with bliss o'orwhelm.
f? r..Ml
Where Nature yields*
Her crops of grateful grain,
Wo might repose,
Unknown to woes,
Nor wish to part again.
Our leisure hours,
'.Mid blooming bowers,
Would pass so free nnd gay ;
While peace and health,
Instead of wealth,
Would drive dull care awav.

Annie's Prayer.
ny o. a. rmcE.
I knew her home by a distant sea.
Where the waves were running wild and freeAs
they died upon the rocky shore,
And waked wild music evermore.
ruio was softer, sweeter, brighter, far,
Than nature's gem?the evening star ;
And her voice rang o'er the pchhlcd lea.
Like the mermaid's song on a southern sen.
1 saw one come from a foreign land?
Armies hnd moved at his command,
And ho swore such an oath, I think, as this,
That " A crown and her hand were equal
ldiss."
At first she was shy, but at last they strayed
On the bench, by her arbor, where she prayed
In bygone days at sunset hour.
When the sky was bright with a starry
shower.
I know not why, but I could not stay,
And I roamed o'ur distant lands away ;
Hut 1 often thought, I'd like to know
If he still loved little Annie so.
One night, when the winter's winds were
high,
And fitful clouds llcw o'er the sky,
A vessel anchored oil'that shore.
And I was at Annie's home once more.
She wns lying on her cottage bed,
And when I came her pale lips said?
"I thought ho was true, but deception was
there,
But Heaven forgive hint, is Annie's last
prayer."
She but waited a moment for the tide to get
low,
With the prayer on her lips like the wave
did she go;
I wept?she was lying on her cottage bed,
For oh! it was sad to think, poor Annie was
dead.

Sometimes the Cow l'ea Is planted by itself,

most commonly planted among tho corn, as
sufficient is ossily made in this way and with

and the vine cut before the leaf falls
it affords an excellent fodder when properly

Printers and the art of Printing,
J. T. Buckingham, in his "Keiiiiiiiseen
ccs," in the course of publication in the
Ho*ton Courier, speaks of the importance
of printers to authors, as follows:?
"Many who condescend to illuminaU
the dark world with the Are of their gen
ius, through the columns of a newspaper
little think of the lot of the printer, who
almost suffocated by the smoke of a isinp
sits up till midnight to correct their falst
grammar, bad orthography, and worst
punctuation. 1 have seeu the argument?
of lawyers in high repute as scholars,
to the printer, in their own handwriting
with many words, and especially technical
and foreign terms, abbreviated, words misspelled,
and few or no points. I hart
seen the. sermons of divines, sent to the
press, withotit points or capitals to designate
the divisions of sentences?sermon?
which, if published with tho imperfection?
of the manuscript, would disgrace tli*
printer's devil, if he were tho author.?
Suppose they had been printed! The
printer would have been treated with n>n?
and contempt, as an illiterate blockhead,
a a fellow better fitted to bo a wood sawyer,
than a professor of the art of printing.
Nobody would have believed that
such gross and palpable faults were owing
to the ignorance and carelessness of the
author. And nobody but the practical
printer, knows how many hours the coinjHisitor,
and after him the proof-reader,
are compelled to spcud in redncing to a
readable condition manuscript* that tb?
author himself would be pouted to read.'

we recommend it to bo read in a cool corner,
or in a shady grove, at some of our 1
J summer retreats or watering places:
H I will give you an adventure of a hash'
ful lover. His name was Damphuto, but
y wo used to call him "Jackass" for short.?
1 Heaven help r.io, if ho should ever 1 car
, this story; 1 hope he don't take the >pirit.
, Among his many misfortunes, for ho
was cock-evcd, red-haired and knockp
kneed, he numbered that incoin enient one
n of baslifulness; nevertheless he was fond
of the ladies, although when in their presn
enco ho never opened his mouth if ho
' could help it, and when ho did speak lie
used both hands to help him to talk; in
fact, ho was a young man of "great aet
tions."
0 Jack, ono warm day, fell in love. Ho
8 had just graduated at college, ami began
pf to think lie must seek the ladies' society;
h he was getting to bo a man, and it looked
'f manly to have a "penchant."
" So Jack fell in love with the sweetest'
?" liveliest, most hoydenish girl in the sipiaro
r ?but how to tell his love. There was the
j rub. Ho had heard a good deal of the
f "language of tho eyes," and ho accordi
tried that; but when ho looked par,t
ticularly hard at the window in which
c Mi?s Emily whs in the habit of sitting,
?- some person on tlio other side of the
c street would in variably bow to him, thinkl*
ing he was endeavoring to catch their eye.
n lie has despised expressive eyes ever
i.
since.
I At length Jack obtained an introduc0
tion through his sister, and with her ho
? called several times, but she was obliged
i_ to leave the city for a season, and as each
a interview had only increased his ardor he
h finally determined upon going it alone."
' Long la-fore tho hour fixed upon by
custom for an evening visit, he found liimself
arrayed in his best, Blue coat, metal
buttons, black cassimerc pants, (said pants
being a lectio tighter than the skin,) and
t a spotless vest. The journals of the day
state, as an item of intelligence, that the
a thermometer ranged from 7o to HO ileg.
- Jack swears it was a hundred. As the
a hour gradually grew near, Jack found his
k perspiration and courage oozing out tor
gether, and he almost determined to pull
ofi' and stay at home. He concluded
however, he'd take a walk past the house

f homo, and since he had proceeded so far,
lie would proceed farther and leave hi*
card.
No sooner determined than concluded.
( In a reckless moment lie pulled the bell;
, the darn'd thing needn't make such a
1 "cussed" noise. The door was opened as
- if by magic, and the servant girl politely
? asked him in. Miss Kmily was alone in
1 the parlor, and would be delighted to see
' him.
^ O Lord! here was a fix! f?o in a dark
, parlor with a pretty girl alone! It was
, too late to retreat; tho girl had closed the
. front door and was pointing to the parlor
. where "Miss Kmily was sitting all alone."
>' Heing perfectly convinced that no choice
5 was left him, into the dark room he walked,
or rather slided.

All was perfoct chaos to his eyes for a

with laughter at the sad misfi rtune of tho (
, bashful lover, felt truly aorry for him, and i
t used all her powers of fascination t?
) it from hie mind, and eventually succeed- 1
' ed ao far m to induce him to make a remark.

"Hav'nt got it under you, Mr. Damp

Jack was sure that could'nt bo so, but
poor Jack in venturing an answer, could
not possibly get along without raising his
hands, and of course ho must drop his
coat-tail. Tn his anxiety to recover the
missing viper, he even ventured to incline
liis body so as to get a glance on the floor.
As he did so the fracture opened, and heboid,
there lay, us the lady supposed her
property.
It was the work of a moment to seizo
tho corner and exclaim?
"Ilere it is, sir, vou need'nt trouble yourself.
Raise a little; it's under you!" at the
same time giving it a long pull.
Alas, the "tail" was told?no escape?
nothing short of a special interposition of
Providence could save his shirt. Rut
what could he do! Another, ami another
strong pull, evincing on tho part of the
lady a praisworthy determination to obtain
the "lost dry goods." coupled with the
request?
"Get up, sir, you're sitting on it, determined
him, and, in the agony of the moment,
grabbing with both hands a fast
disappearing strip of linncn which encircled
his neck, lie exclaimed in heart-broken
accents, "for God's sake, Miss Kmilv,
leave my shirt collar!"

The importance of such a Journal as the
ahovc, needs no exposition. The material
and substantial interest of the South have
been too long neglected The ('at/on Plant
is established to promote these interests,
keeping entirely aloof front party polities.
A complete foreign and domestic
correspondence has been arranged. The
best talent of the country will contribute to
our columns, which will present a medium,
of general communications, correspondence,
and information for the friends of the measures
we advocate. The proper steps have
been taken in Europe and America to lay
the foundation of a direct foreign trade rt
the .South,.and to introduce our coarse manufactures
into the continental European
market. One object of the Cotton Plant
will be, as the organ of direct trade, to stimulate
the South to carry out this important
mo .sure.
Wo call upon the Southern merchants generally
to send us their business cards, that
we may lay them before the country, to enable
the friends of southern commerce, manufactures,
&c., to discriminate properly in
their desires to promote southern enterprise,
The importance of Washington Ci'v a
point of locniion for such a Journal, especially
in regard to opening foreign correspondence
and promoting our foreign relations;
is apparent. The opportunity of seeing
hero, also, members of Congress from every
district of the country, presents a means of
general co-operation not to be found elsewhere.
To the Cotton, Sugar, Rice, ami Tobacco
Planters, we look confidently lor support;

Dr. Iloj'.niurs ('rlrhralcd (Irrman Hitters
for tlie core of liver Complaint, Jaundice,
Dyspepsia, Chronic or Nervous Debility, is

MORE EVIDENCE.
The Hon. C. I>. Hinelinc, Mayor of the
City of Camden, N. J., says:
" Houri.axd's Herman Bittf.rs.?We
have seen many flattering notices of this
medicine, and the source from which they
came induced us to make inquiry respecting
its merits. From inquiry we were persuaded
to use it, and must say we found it specific
in its action upon diseases of the liver
and digestive organs, and the powerful influence
it exerts upon nervous prostration is
really surprising. It ca* ns and strengthens
the ucrves, bringing them inio a state of renose,
making sleep re "resiling.
"If this medicine Was innr.. rrnni.fill.- n?r..t

we are satisfied there wouV.be loss sickness

medicine we would adviso our friends who

recommend itself. It should, in fact, be in
every family. No other medicine can pro- i
duce such evidences of merit."
Evidence upon evidence has been receiv- J
cd (like the foregoing) from all sections of
the Union, the last three years, the strongest
testimony in its favor, is, that there is
more of it used in the practice of the regular

That this medicine will cure Liver Com- \

LEONARD &COTT& 0..
No. 54 Gold St., New York.
Continue to publish tlio following British
Periodicals, viz;
7'heLamihmQuarlerly Review (Conservative)
The Edinburg Review (Whig),
The North British Rev tew (tree Church),
The Westminster Rtvietr (Liberal), and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine (Tory).
These Reprints have now been in successful
operation in this country for twehty
yeaks, and their circulation is constantly on
the increase notwithstanding the competition
thev encounter from American periodicals of
n similar class and from numerous Eclectics
and Magazines made up of selections from
foreign periodicals. This fact shows clearly
the high estimation in which they are held
by the inte'Mgeht reading public, and affords
a guarantee that they are established on a
firm basis, and will be continued without inI
terruption.
Although these works arc distinguished
by the political shades above indicated, yet
hutn small portion of their contents is devoted
to politicnl subjects. It is their literary character
which gives them their value, and in
| that they stand confessedly far nbove all
I other journals of their class, Blackwood,
still under the masterly guidance of Christo[
pher North, maintains its ancient celibrity
and is at this time, unusunlly attractive,from t
I the serial works of Bulwer and other literary
notables, written for that magazine, and
first appearing in its colunjns both in Great
Britain and in the United States. Such
works as u The Caxtons" and M My New
Novel," (lw>th by Bulwer), " My Peninsular
Medal," " The Green Hand," and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions are
issued by the. leading publishers in this country,
have to be reprinted by those publishers
from the pages of Blackwood, after it has
been issued by Messrs. Scott & Co., so thnt
Subscribers to the Reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest reading
of these fascinating talesTERMS.
