A POErS MISERIES.
HIS IlKST ATPEARANCK IK TYTE.
All, here it in !, I'm famous now;
An author noU u poet.
It really is in print. Ye gods!
How proud Ell bo to show it?
And gentle Anna! what a thrill
VvYii animate tier br?iu>t.
To read those ardent lines and know
To whom they were addrcssd.
....
wnwblesa my soul! here's something wrong,
What can the paper mean,
By talking of the 'graceful Brook*,"
"That 'gamier o'er the green V
And here's ? t instead of r,
Which makes it 'dppliug rill
We'ii seek some 'shad," instead of'shade,"
Aud 'hell' iaslend of'hill.'
'Thy looks so" what! I recollect:
'T was 'sweet' and then 'l was 'kind
And now, to think!?the stupid fool !
For 'bland' has printed 'blind.'
Was ever such provoking work T
,?'T is curious, by-tho by,
That anything is rendered blind
By giving it an i)
' Thou hast no tears,' the / 'a left out,
'Thou hast no carsinstead:
*\ hope that thou art deur."
'I hope that thou art dead,''
Who ever saw in such a space
So many blunders eramined
'Those gentle eyes bodimnied," is here
'Those gentle eyes bcdamrnedl'
^ w
The eolor of the 'rose.' is 'nose,'
'Affection' is 'Affliction,'
(I wonder if the likeness holds
In fact aa well as fiction ?)
'Thou art a friend.' The r is gone.
Whoever would have deemed
That su<;h a trifling thing could change
A friend into a fieiulI
'Thou art the. same,' is rendered 'lame ;
It really is too bad !
And here, because an ? i? out.
My lovely 'maid' is 'mod,'
They drove her blind by poking in
An t?-a process new?
And now they've gouged it out again,
And ina^e her crazy too.
I'll read no more.' What shali I do '
I'll never dare to send it,?
The paper'* scattered far and wide,
'Tis now too late to mend it,
O fame! thou cheat of liuai&n life,
Why did I ever write ?
.. I wish my poem had been burned
Before it saw the liyht.
Let's stop and recapitulate:
I've 'damned' her eyes, that's plain :
I've told hor she was lunatic,
Aod 'blind' and 'dead' and 'lame.'
*
M as ever such ft JiorriU hash,
In poetry or prose ?
I've said she was a 'fiend,' and praised
The color of her 'nose."
I wish I had that printer here.
About a half a minute;
I'd hang him to my heart's content,
And with an h begin it.
I'd jam his body, eyes and bones,
And spell it w'lh ad;'
And send him to that lull of his
That he spelt with an c.
"LET ME DIE QUIETLY
- "Bo still?make no noise?let me die qui
ctly."?Vice President King.
still ! Tho hour of the souls ih>n-ir. !
lure is at hand; Earth is fading fruin its
vision ; Tiiuc gliding from its presence!
Hopes that cluster around young lite, that ;
swell in the bosoin of tuanhooil, have fat- <
Jen from around it like the forest leaves, '
when tho forests of autumn have chilled '
them unto death. Ambition, with its lof
ty look, have vanished away. The world
with its deceitfulness,?pleasure, with its
f g raided temptations, are gone ; and alone
in utter destitution of all that time prom- j
ised, it must start on its solmcn journey i
aCross the valley of the shadow of death !
"Make no noise I" Let the tumult of
life cease. Let no sound break the soul's
communion with itself ere it starts on its i
, veturnless flight. Trouble it not with the
accents of sorrow. Let the tears 6tand
still on the cheek of affliction ; and let not j
the wailing of grief break the solemn silence
of the death scene. Let it gather
tho accents that crtru? from within the !
dark shadows of eternity,saying to it come
home! The whispers of angels are in its
ear ; obstruct not their silvery voices by j
' grosser sounds. A far off music comes
floating to it by the air. Tis the sound
jti. of the iiuHvefiiv harps touched by vtatv'ens
Augers?mar not the hannouy by thedia- .
oords of earth.
"Let mo die quietly 1" The commotion i

a.id waring witli human destiny are over. !
Wealth accumulated must be goaltereJ ; |
?' honor won must be resigned ; and all the
triumphs that come within the range of
human achievements must he thrown .
away. The past, with its trials, its nccu|p*
mutating responsibilities, its clinging
MP memories, its vanished hopes, is rendering
up to the fill tire its long account?disturb
not the quiet of that awful reconing?
Speak r.ot of fading memories, of affec- i
lions whose objects perish in their loveli^
r lie**, like the flowers of spring, or wither
Jp in a slow decay. Talk not of an earthly
home where loved ones linger, where a
I > seat will be vacant, a cherisheJ voice hnsh- [
Ldj ml forever, or of the Wesolation that will I
seat itself by the hearthstone. The soul j
ft is at peace with (iod ; let it pass calmly |
away. Heaven is opening uj>on its vision.
The bright turrets, and the lofty
i domes of the Eternal City, are emerging (
from the spectral darkness, and the glory
of the Moat High is drawing around them.

Tit in is one of the busiest mouths on
the plantation, and no one who desires to
make n good crop bus any time to lose |
now.

long scooter, after which use a she Tel, nn<l
then keep the ground stirred between the
tows, as often as once every 10 or 10days
running quite shallow with a harrow, cul
tivator or a horse hoc, followed by hnud
hoes to clean and mellow the space between
the bills, ho not break anv r?ct?,
or use the turning plow at all, in working
this crop, except to "lay by" with ; and
even then it is unnecessary.
1 Cotton must be brought to a 'Viand,"
and scrape I and moulded without delay.
The moulding must be done as soon after
scraping as possible, so that the roots of
the young plants may not be left exposed

Oats, Kye, and perhaps Wheat, miv
j bo cut in Rbtne places, the last of this
monlli, ami the ground afterwards planted
in Sweet Potato ''draws," or Cow
Teas.
Cow Peas should be now sown broad- ;
cast or drilled, in deoj ly plowed, ar.d well
manured land. If intended for bay, tbu :
lan<l must be rteb ; If seed only is desired !
moderately fertile land will answer. Tins j
Chinese Prolific Pea sbonld also l>o plant
ed 4 by 1 feet, 1 or 2 Peas in a hill, to.se- '
cure a future simply of reed.
Sweet potatoes should be planted ex- j
tensively, as heretofore recommended.? ^

| the drill wide and deep with a long sliov- I
el, and scattering the corn along in it at I
lU* rate of about .'J bushels pet acre. It j
may be cut when in the tassel, and fed ,
green, or dried for winter use. Sow, also j
Chinese Sugar Cane, for fodder, in the
same way, on a small scale, to satisfy
yourselves of its great value. If allowed
to stand, it will mature its seed if plan
ted even as late as the middle of June or j
L.-i of July. Make the ground very deep
and rich, as previously directed.

and if the striped bug is troublesome, try ,
the effects of sprinkling the vines with i
weak cam pi or water, which i* made by ;
ly ing tip in muslin, a p'oce of gum cam ;
pbor as large as an egg and infusing it in
a barrel of rain water. To prevent tbe |
wind from bundling up the vines, throw a ;
shovelful of dirt upon them, here and j
there. The main point, however, in this |
month is the proper thinning of the crop.
,\ovcr leave but two, or, it most, three
plants of Melon?, Cucuml-ers or Squashes
in each loll.
All vegetables will l>e greatly benefitted
by n judicious thinning, for a crowded j
growth is just as injurious to them as ,
if they were overgrown with weeds.
Hoc and stir the soil frequently nround |
your plants, and, whenever you posssibly
can, mulch them ; it will improve them i
wonderfully.
I'lant out Tomatoes towards the end of
this month for a late crop, and cut them
down until the early patch is ghing out ; j
then let litem go to fruit, and you will
have plenty until (rost. I
Sow Cabbage seed tbe latter part of
tbis month, for fall and winter use. Fiat
Dutch and llcrgens nre die best. Tryalso,

I use all next winter.
if you are rauincr Onions. from ?! ?
Mack seed, thin out the rows and trans ,
plant. S?cl? transplanted Onions will \
coine in la'e, and last till Christmas.
Finish cutting Asparagus by the mid
die of this month, or '.lie first of June at j
farthest.
Continue to riant Okra, Squashes and <
Melons of the different varieties. Lima, (or 1
Butter beans. Sweet Corn. Transplant
'.he Tomato, Pepper, Cabbage, Cauliflow- [
er, Celery, Ac. Plant Carrots. Beet#,
Salsify, Parsnips, Ac., for a succession.
Now is also the proper time to feed
your plants with liquid manure, (say one
pound of Peruvian Ouano or two pounds
of hen manure dissolved in 10 gallons of
water.] Once a week is enough, and
give plenty of pure water after the application

The Strawberry patch should receive a J
good working with pronged hoes. to avoid j
injuring the roots. After thus loosening }
up the soil, r< place the mulching, and
there will be little trouble with the weeds
for tho remainder of the season. If cultivating
solely for fruit, the rufiers must ho
scrupulously kept down.
Weeds will now hegin to infest vonr
