"Deal gently with him, world, I pray; Ve cares like softened shadows come; lis spirit, well nigh worn away, Asks wil ye but a while ahome." ItOnARD H. DANA. Breathe on him softly, Ye troubles of life; Crush not his spirit Too feeble for strife. One grief hatl touched him 'Tis all he can bear; Pity his weakness : Ali 1 h ear Iis sad prayer. Fondly he loved her Yes, wildly-in vain: Ilis boon was not granted; Oh! Scorn not his pain Chide him not harshly For loving her still Call it not madness Control not his will. Speak to him kindly Poor desolate heart, Wipe away gently The tears-as they start. 'oint to the eastward Wher,j brightness shall dawn; Lead his thoughts upwards; lIe soon will be gone. Farm Work for September. Cotton picking is the regular phta.. tion work tor the month. It should he gatherid as fast as it opens, for this is the way to secure it i.. good condition. "If it atands." Dr Cloud justly remarks, "many days after opetng in the boll, Uxpos-d totlWrOf ht, asia'the bright shining of our autumnal day., it undergoes a bleaching process, w1hich imparts to the staple a dead white color, with a crisp harsh touch, and destroys its peculiar native or creamy hue." Avoid collecting with it leaf and tlash of all kinds. Every lock of lint should be saved now, as the "great staple" must be scarce nnd dear for a long time to cone ; and it should be tie ambition of all planters to send their crops to mar. ket in the best possible condition. To quote again fron Dr. Cloud, "hands should not be allowed to pull the bolls from the limbs in picking. while it retards the picking, it is. an injury to the growing stolk during Iho month of September. The produc. tiveness of the cottot plant i.9 frequently injured by early picking by the careless niess of hands- in biejdig over it and pressing the limbs tog Cther by which hey are broken and otr erwise ninngle'd; these injurries are itiparaiile by the plant thus late fir the season and thre consequent loss is frequently considera ble." Make your bales square and uniform and keep the qualities of cotuon sepa. rate. Dealers arid miantilacturers all require bales of utniformr ,ttaity, add the price of mixed cotton hs genr'ly as low ase the poorest cottotn put in the bale. Choice and valable 'Jarietids of cotton seed must be selected ahd carefully say d,so that we may be ready to go on anecessfully in tihe cutltttre~ of this indis pensable crop hereafter. LJet all whno haye srupirior cotton seed, either Sea Islrand or Upland, adver~tise it widely, in tim" for thre next cr-op. D9nrgJhum and Imphi/eei sl-ould be cut, grorund and miade rup into good thick irytip, as fast as the cane matures.

(ot'-Cron.") etc., must be t,ut when in full blooni, and cured with as little exposure to the sun as possibl. The old negro style, of waiting 'till "first frost," and then pulling up a lot of dead, dry, sapless grass, and calling that "hay," must be stopped. It is not in accordance with the "progress of the age." The corn and forage crops will be so short in all the States east of the Missis. sippi that every provision possible should be made for economizing them. Turnips will prove most vahiablo for feeding stock of all kinds. Milch cows, sheep, (and it is said horses, if fed in moderate quantities with other food,) all thrive upon them. Boiled and the slop thickened while hot With torn meal they are excellent for swine. Sow this crop during this month, at all favorable seasons, and it will be advisable to put in a large crop for stock-feeding in win ter. It is, generally, best to sow just before a rain, or when the ground is dry, working tie ground thoroi,ghly and not sowing until it has been allowed to drv, for if sowed in soil just moist enough to sprout the seed the sun often kills it., but in perfectly dry ground the seed will keep without sprouting until it rains-coverinig the seed lightly and pressing the earth upon it with a roller or phirik. We almost invariably sow too mueh seel. and cover too deep ; bnt. whenever, from any cause, we fail to get a good and satisfactory "stand," the seedsnian (or vender of seed) has to "suf fer." It. is not necessary to drop a con tinuolis line of turnip seed in the drill, especially when the more valiable vaiieties are rare and difficult to pro cure. Two or three seeds, dropped eve. ry four (4) inches in .the drill, will give you a good "stand," and save a great deal of seed and thinning out. ,Ryp.for.\vinter pIItlire, must . sown very argely, the middle or last of this month. You cannot make the ground too deep or ri--h ; and the sanie may be said even more forcible of Bar ley, which on Rtroi!. rich soils, is supe. rior to rye. Sow -arly, use plenty of Peed, and put in as great a breadth of land as possible, in these two crops. On loose sandy s.)ils rye iny he scattered among the cotton the batter part of the month, and the winter treading ofstock, which on heavy soils is injurious, is a benefit to these light lands, but on the richer soils more food is produced. Sow plenty of the Winter or Egyp tian Oats the last of the month for pasturago. In ordinary winter's these three crops afl'ord an invaluable aid in keeping stock in good condition. California Clover way still be sown, the earlier the better. Thei same is true of the Crimson Clover, ('Trifolium in cornatum,) a forpge plant of which we have great hopes for winter and early spring. Proclre n-w, seed of the Red Clover to sow eitlhr by itselt or in your wheat the last of this month, A ny clean soil that will bring good wheat will bring good clover, but the crop is vastly in. creased by sowing upon it broad cast one bushel of gypsum per acre; any seedsman can supply seed, and we pre fer our readers should et it direct. The President's Tour. It seems that Forney or some of his crew were at work in 'Philadelphia to twit or insult the President, on reaching that city, en route for Chicago. The Board of Trade refused to allow their rooms to be used for a meeting of citizens to take measures for his. reception, and eveni the Ciry Cooncil took no, steps in the matter. The mlemnbers of the Cotrr Exchange also refused to appoint a com mittee to join in the reception cereme. ries. 'I'he Richmond Times hass the' t>llowing comments on this and other Presidential tours, in which it, pays the corn factors of the ciff of brotherly love a befitifng complimenti Presidential pilgrmnt*ages ore invaria bly sudcoessful, and that of President Johnson to the toni' of.

Eamperoa Posit . have ptecisely the samie kind of orations upon such occasions, the terrible "hand shaking tortures" being the only differ. ence which greathess experiences when on its travels in this country and in Eu rope. Heretofore, the popularity of a Presi. dent has had very little- to do with the manner of his receptioti when on a jour. ney. A few months bef'oro he was de feated by as overwhelming majority, President Van Baren was :,onored by prodigious demonstrations of popularity during a tour through' the Northierni States. President Tyleri ago, when the North was lashed into a ,whirlwind of fury against him, in cdns&quience of the vetoes of 184.1, ias evbirywhere received with deior)j&tions df tie most unbounded respect'Nriig his trip to Boston, where Mr. Legare, i ttember of his Cabinet, died during the Pfebidential visit. Al though President Tyler possessed really very little popularity; the demonstra. tio'is in his favor were as warm as tho.e which greeted Andrew Jackson, aftet he had cruhed all opposition, aRd was the popular idol qf the American peopl,. Even where the President was not pop. ular, the sanctity atid.*elevation of the office have aroused the enthusiasm of the masses. While there is every as sitrance of the happy successful isste (if the President's visit to ChicA, ''.; poi son of radicalism has engendered such swinibli rudeness among the corn factors of Philadelphia, that they have iefitsed to do honor.to the President'when lie pas ses through that, city, 'sand other rude and vulgar men may dtsgrace themselves in the same way. ,Such exhibitions, 116king but ter knives spitting on a parlor e'P('. and insa' ing women, merely tnd the porpeu.a. ltas u I .-al"Ibinek. guards. They utterly fail to anntoy the distinguished official at whom the vulgar insults are aimed. Ite very properly att ributes such condnct to ill breeding and ignorance, an I pities the brutal crea tures, whose manners have been so much neglected. Tho conlduct of the Philadelphia corn fa-:tors and dealers will be in striking contrast. to that. of the citizens of al thit othitir cities, towns and villages through which the President will puss. The Philadtlphians were oice renarkal for their politene,4, urbanity and respect for the amenities of social life. Since they were possessed. however. of thi unclean spirit os.radicilism, and took to reading the Press newspaper. they have become deplorably demoralized and ill mannered. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Convention. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Convention, that is to meet next. month at Cleveland, will, if its proceedings ie conducted in the proper spirit, exercise a most beni ficient inflience in strengthenbig the conservativo sentiment. The people have great confidence in the patriotie motivei of toe mei who served the Fed eral cause upon the battle field in the lato war. We allude not onlyt.o the people of the North, for t.his feeling of confidence in the material of the Fede ral army and navy geierally is shared by the majority of the Swuthern popit. lations. The antagonism of warriors who have done their ditty under their respective banners, does not extend be yond the period of actual .trife. When they have met and combatted a foe worthy of their steel' tihe very conscious vness of mutual valor makes them eager to join hands in friemiduip at the thres hold of peace.

It. would have been better if the soldiers and sailors of both sections had bei appealed to, to assemble in friendly con ference on that occasion ; but, since the heroism of one section only is to be rep resented, it is the more an obligation to avoid any action or utterence that may be construed into an expression of the pride of conquest, or that in any way may be offensive the vainished.

"As LIKE As Two PEA."-The Bitish Tories are close imitarionsof our A merican Radicals. They are afraid to trust the people-and like them, also, are externally doing sonmwhat to excite the popular passions, arid tu provoke riots whith but too often end in dange. rous commotions, and shedding of hu man blood. The Tories would not let the friends of the Nlectoral Reform-that is, the English Democrats aid Liberals-meet in Hyde Park, the o1her dav-and a s-rious tumilt, threatening the existence even of the Government. itself, was the result. The Radicals in the recent Rump Congress were afraid to trust the people of the eleven States of the Union with self-government-hut. aided a.nd abetted sneh plats against their peace as a revi val of the New Orleans Convention of 'I1-and a bloody rit there is the re. suht.

The folly of tlnglish Tories, in the Iyde Park intedict, is lik-ly to work It- own cure. We siould not be stir prised to learn any day-throtigh the cal--that they have been conlpelled to leave their places by the sheer force of hostile public opinion.
