** WAIT FOR THE MORNING."
TO A FRIEND IN AFFLICTION.
Watcher! 'tis dark, and the dwelling is lonely?
The night lamp shines dim^ and so'does thine eye;
Thou art thinking thy portion is wearisome only,
And thou wilt be glad whem-'tis thy turn to die !
Watcher, look out! whero the day-star is dawning?
Hope in thy heart let its promise awake,
And tireless and slumberless, "wait for the morning;"
Never a night but its morning shall break 1
Wanderer ! 'tis dark, atfd the tempest is roaring?
Roaring above thee and rattling around ;
Demons of terror their vials are pouring
Right on thy pathway, where pitfalls abound!
Wanderer! 'tis better to bow than to bide it?
Harmlessly o'er thee the storm-king will ride !
Deep is the chasm, 'twere death to bestride it,
But yon is the valley both sloping aud wide.
Weeper ! 'tis dark, for the angel of sorrow
Hath spread o'er thy landscape the gloom of his
wing ;
No hue from the rainbow thy sadness can borrow,
No joy to thy bosom the spring-time can bring.
Weeper, despair not! there is that can cure thee ?
Yes?even to the heart-sick a balm can be given,
A draught that shall eonifort and gladness insure thee;
Drink deeply?Drink oft, for the fount is in heaven.
Oh, ye who aro suffering und toiling and sighing;
Oh, ye who iu darkness aro grooping your way ;
Who arc weary of hoping and weary of trying,
Who are sure that the midnight will never be day;
I charge thee to take heed to this counsel and warning,
Stand fast by your duty, your God, and your right!
And patient and truthful thus wait for the morning.
Assured it will bring you both healing and light.

LETTER TO A FACTOR.
AYlio is- Wiley Harbucleet ? Heretofore unknown
to fame, lie becomes suddenly "one of
'cm." Preserved in the amber of the Knickcrbwkcr's
humor, "Wiley will go down to immortality
as the Model Letter Writer of Alabama.
We give K nick's preface as well as J
the epistle:
" Wiley Harhuckct1$ Letter " from Clarke
county, Alabama, which ensues, is a genuine
document, save the name and the chirography,
the latter of which denies all transfer. It was
addressed to a commission house in Mobile.?
" It displays (writes the obliging friend at
New Orleans from whom we receive it) the
characteristics of a class hitherto not described,
the small planter of the South, with whom
there is a vein of genuine practical piety and
kind domestic feeling, which deserves to be i
appreciated. I have observed that you specially
affect anything that is thoroughly America
; and I Tim sure that you will see that this
letter is as well thoroughly Southern, and giving
moreover a phase of life in the South not
mi record." Our correspondent speaks of othletters
of Mr. Harbucket." Let us have
them by all means:

"JOE BIDICUS!"
Current among the gossip of the Supreme
Court Library and Lounging Room, a fev
days since, was a little story told on a distiu
guished member of the bar, from one of the
central counties of the State ; and as it ticklec
all who heard it, from the Chief Justice dowi
to the " latest admission," we apprehend tha
we cannot absolutely spoil it, with our cmrente
calamo)
Some months ago, the gentleman to whon
special reference is made above, and who niai
be called Col. Dash, was retained to defend ;
most terrible "assault with intent to murder,'
in a county North of his own, which may b(
designated as the county of Blank. As it wa:
a very bad case, Col. Bash advised his client
who had entered into bond with good security
in S3,000, that it was well enough to forfei
the recognizance by failing to appear, and t(
take the chance of squashing it because it tea.
executed on Sunday?as it happened to hav(
been the fact.
This course was taken and at the propei
time, Col. Bash, whose mouth is one of rea
oratorical extension, moved to quash the bond
because it appeared to the court, here to have
been entered into and signed on Sunday?din
non jurisdicus. In the course of the argu
ment which he made for the motion, the phrase
came out several times?dies non furidieus?
so often indeed, that even the uulearned and
altogether untechnical came, all, to know b)
the context, that dies non juridicus meanl
Sunday, or that Sunday meant dies non juridicus,
which was not very essentially different ;
and that the law did not recognize the social
apothegm, " the better the day, the better the
deed."
" All?" did we say! Not exactly ! There
was one Derson present?a eountrv iustice ol
r r ? ^
the peace?who did not understand what d{.<
non juridicus meant, or rather he crot a peculiar
view of its force and effect. He marked
the phrase, however, and invested it, in hi?
own mind, with a monstrous potency, as the
sequel shows.
Some weeks after the motion to quash?
which was entirely successful, thanks to dim
non juridicus !?'Squire Hudds, the justice
aforesaid, had, in his own beat, a case before
him, in which a citizen was charged with stealing
a pig, or some other chattel under the
value of twenty dollars. The examination, il
it did not establish the guilt of the accused
"beyond a reasonable doubt," raised some ugly
presumptions ; and his lawyer, aware of the
fact remarked to the "court"?'Squire Ilubbs,
aforesaid?that in view of the rigidity of the
statues regulating preliminary, criminal trials,
lie would not interpose any defence, at that
time, but that his clieut was ready to make a
bond, to appear at the next term of the circuit
court, when he would satisfactorily establish
his innocence.
"Bond !" exclaimed 'Squire Ilubbs. -Bond!
Yes, I say, Bond .' And at the next term of
the Circuit Court, have that bij-moutbd lawyer
from S come thar, and haller Joe
Ridicus ! Joe Ridicus ! ! two or thrc times,
and away 'joes your Bond ! Constable ! tie
the defendant up to that tree, out thar, aud
give him thirty-uine lashes, and see what Joe
Ridicus can do with that!"
And they say that the thing was so well done
that even " Joe," himself would never have
had the face to plead nul ticl record to that
recoguizanee!?Mont. Ma if.
Prf.tty Good.?Old Rip Van Winkle has
generally sustained herself very well, iu the
encouuterof border jokes and wits which have
so long involved her with her neighbor, 4 the
Old Dominion,' she is therefore expeeted to
'come back' on the pernetratiou of the follow
ing:
A good story is told by Gen. Bayly, of Virj
ginia. Never having suffered himself to be
done by that notorious character Beau Hickman,
who is very much of a wag, and a genius
in his way, the Geueral was accosted by Beau
on the avenue, the other evening, for a 'quarter'
and by way of a persuader called for it in
the name of Old Virginia, and as a Virginian.
< How dare you call yourself a Virginian tc
me, Beau, when I know you to be a North
Caroliuian?' said the General. 'Now instead,
of 1 a quarter/ I will give you a dollar, if you
will never again call yourself a Virginian, bul
will call yourself what you are, a North Caroli
man.'
< General/ replied Beau, < do you think ]
would call myself a North Carolinian for on<
dollar! No, I can't take it.'
The story, as I heard it, was told to a meui
ber from North Carolina, which was a part o
the cream of the joke.
A Fix.?A farmer had occasion to send hii
hired man, who by-the-way was a jolly Dutch

er fast, the molasSes took a notion to " work/
as it is generally called. But we will let hin
tell his story in his own words.

SUB-SOILING.
; It is too late in the day of progressive im- ,
provement to inflict upon our readers an essay
upon the benefits and nature of sub-soiling.
; We trust that most of our farmers are well posted
upon this important subject, and wo only
throw out a few hints upon its practical advan|
tages.
As we are not?strictly speaking?a farrnj
ing people, but might more properly be styled
I a planting people, we have not the time to
! test thoroughly the benefits of sub-soiling.
; The farmer, or rather planter, who is engaged
; in the raising of Cotton, is compelled from dire
; necessity, to make Cotton the ehiet object ot
I his attention. .So far as the culture of Cotton
! is concerned we have but little or no use f??r
! the sub-soil plow, except it be in giving the
| land that thorough preparation, which is reI
carded by all good farmers as the most effi|
cient labor bestowed upon the crop.
It is a well established fact, that it takes
I about fourteen months in the year to make a
Cottou crop; and when that time is subtrae
ted from the term of an ordinary year, it is obi
vious that most of our planters will have but
little time to sub-soil their land.
i A very great benefit may now be derived
from the sub-soil plow, if used in planting :
Corn. We would here suggest, that the far- j
mer has more time in plauting com, both to
1 j sub-soil and manure, than in any other stage
' | of the crop. As the present spring has been i
1 (one unprecedented for weather favorable to
" the preparation ot land, Ac., we presume that
every farmer has at least 30 days iu which to j
i snb-soil, manure and plant his corn. In the
[ ordinary mode, it will not take more than G or
; 3 days to plant the corn crop, aud if wc would
spend thribblc that time in manuring properly
- and sub-soiling thoroughly, before plauting, !
f fhe corn would then ho in tho crvonml full ? ?>. !
: ly, and we would be sure of a yield in autumn, |
: to correspond with the amount of labor bestow3
j cd. We believe the new Iron plow to be the j
" i best sub-soil plow now iu use. Take this plow 1
" ! and ruu a sub-soil furrow in the wake of one
* j made by the common scooter, aud then bed on j
~ j it and plant, covering with a double plow.
| Then side your corn with the same sub-soil
1 ' furrow as deep as the stoutest mule can draw j
! it, aud plow out the row with a long scooter, !
i ; for the first working. The second working
i j should be a good hoeing. The next working ;
* ; should be siding with a wing-scooter, not near j
the corn, followed with another sub-soil furrow !
> | plowed out with the wing scooter The hist:
1 j plowing should be with a sweep, and you will j
1 then nerhans have " corn to sell and to keen."
> i If you dont believe it, try it, and report your
' failure.
1 We extract the following from the Southern
| Cultivator:
j j " Deep sub-so'ling is the very thing for corn
r iu any and all kinds of saudy soils. (I do not!
I] mean turning up," for that 1 have proved to ;
^ J my sorrow, will not do.) Last year I plowed !
t; round my corn with a small sub-soil plow, :
r made at my shop, us near like a genuine sub-'
soil plow as I could remember, having never
t seen but one. It struck my fancy that sandy
lauds could be Wiped with such ; and as I
had no chance to send fox oue, had to make
s thcui at home. 1 was very eauttou* not to al- j
1 low them to leau cither way, as there was d*Gger
of cutting the corn roots, nnd I used them I
next to the last plying I gave my corn before
laying by, just as'close as they could be run
to it, andjust as tip drought was beginniug to
do harm. The laril is a very light, sandy soil,
which my neigbbop said was worn out. This
was my second cup on it, and I gathered a (j
little the rise of tuenty-one bushels of mcasu-1
red corn to the acre, besides peas, and what j
the sqirrels ate off of it. This looks small by e
the side of the rifk prairie and river bottom j J
lands?but it must be remembered that this is i:
(said to be) " wdro out land," and the first jr
experiment. Wht satisfies me that the sub- I
soiling is what made my corn, is, that one of a
the very neighbors that ridiculed my " fancy
notion," made an entire failure on the same
kind of land, where nothing but a lane divides t
us! j C
My mode of faming differs from every one j j5
iu my neighborhood; therefore I am the geti- ' i
eral laughing stock for all?but I think the i t
smiles are vanishing, and turning to astonish- j '
iuent and wonder. Last year my farm was j r
visited from several quarters; and it was giv- ! h
en up by all that rjy crop could not be surpas-,!'
scd. I do not claim to be a farmer, but I do- | v
sire to make myself one, aud I think I shall, if j ii
your very useful paper lives, to which I am !
much indebted for my success in the main, so 1 -j

DAMP STABLES.
When I first came to the farm which I now j
hold by purchase, Ifound the stables built under
large trees anc^xav a spring of water, with
a northern aspect. My horses were soon in
poor condition, with long and rough coats. |
aud almost always lax in their bowels, nor ^
could I get them up by extra food or lighter j
work ; but my cows suffered the most for they j >!
were always siek. Their milk fell off and 1
- o
their butter was poor, aid of a bad color and i,
ta.-te, and four of them slipped their calves be- *
fore their time. When die spring came they J1
left their winter quarters In a worse state than p
[ had ever seen thorn, and twu of them died p
l'ruui s.-ours on going to pasture. On inquiry lj
I found that the tenant who had left had al- s
ways been what the neighbors termed tin for- <
tunatc in his horses and cattle, and from that j1
cause more than any other, lie had not been 0
able to make both ends meet. The truth flash- ..

erected another on higher ground, remov- ,
ed from water, and clear from the shade of !'
trees, with a southwest aspect, and dry en pacious

neither sickness nor sorrow in my out door e
household. My h- rses live on less food, arcalways
sleek and in good condition, and my
cows are credit to their keep. (>ur butter j?
brings - cents a pound more in the market. ^
and for last year our sales are more than don- *

SHAPING TREES AND SHRUBS.
Who has not observed the great difference ' ~
in beauty between a handsomely dressed tree,
and "?ue of uncouth or distorted form of the
same species! How often do purchasers of ^
ornamental shrubs and trees anxiously search , y
for symmetrical specimens?forgetting. or not j
kuowiutr, that the most irregular may be easi- ; h
ly pruned and put into any desired .shape. If i r.
the Dutch gardeners display much skill in k
training vegetable growth into peacocks and j ?(
hedgehogs, American gardeners may find an . J
appropriate exercise of their skill in imitating o
the graceful and beautiful in nature.
At "the present season, or during the com- i
ineticenient of vigorous growth, this desirable ;
object may be m<*t easily accomplished. By j
occasionally removing : needless shoot, but j
more frequently shortening-back such as are
overgrown, <?r pinehiiig-in those that threaten : v
to become so, and by lopping certain portions j
to induce dormant buds to push where branches j 1
and foliage may be deficient, a degree ot skill | f,
may be exercised, not unworthy of comparison j v
with that of the artist who developes a bcauti- ! ''
ful statue from a shapeless block of marble. ,]
Even small plants, which otherwise would e
grow tall and meagre, may be made to assume 11
a bushy and thick appearance, by pinchiug off j t
the ends of the leading shoots while they are j a
young. The English gardeners have acquired |''
a skill in managing in this way their pot plants (
intended for public exhibition, that is really | astonishing
to those wlm first witness the rich j
and symmetrical masses of flowers and foliage !
which they arc thus enabled to present to ! *
view. ^
A great error is often committed when flow-1 ;
cring plants arc placed in open ground, bv ' *
crowding them too closely together, giving j (
them too much the appearance of weeds. TliJy 1
are much the best when every plant is allowcu 1
full room to expead. When crowded, thb ! ?
flowers are fewer aud more imperfect. and tlie a
plants? and foliage slender, and greatly inferior 0
in beauty to the dense and rich mass of well , (
developed leaves aud bloom of a freely growing 1
uncrowded plant.?Albany Cultivator.

HARPER'S MAGAZINE^
rHE circulation of HARPER'S NEW MONTHLY
MAGAZINE is now greater than at any previis
time since its publication was commenced, and is
ill steadily and -apidly increasing. The same plan
liieh has made it so popular hitherto will continue
be pursued. It will aim to preseut regularly, in
ore elegant dress and at a cheaper rate, a larger
nount of better reading matter than has ever been
ven to the Public in any similar periodical, either
reign or domestic. Its contents will be made up
ith constant reference to the wants and tastes of the
eat body of the American people, rather than those
any particular class or profession. While it will
; the endeavor of its conductors, in all its dopt.itents,
to combine entertainment with instruction,
iccial care will be tuken to exclude every thing that
.11 give just cause of complaimito any interc? t or any
ctionof the country, and especially every thing that
11 offend the most fastidious, on the score of taste
morality. A large number of interesting and vallate
articles have already been prepard for the next
duine; the series of Pictorial Articles, written by
e most popular authors and illustrated by the most
ftcd and popular artists in the United States, ex ossly
for the Magazine, will be continued: the
oncost productions of American and European litciry
talent will be selected fur its pages; the variety,
.tcre>t. and attractiveness of its Editorial Departcnts
will be increased: and nothing will be left mime
to merit that large share of public favor with
liich thus far their enterprise has been received.
Each number of the Magazine will contain 144 ootvo
pages, in double columns, .each year thus c<>mrising
nearly two thousand pages of the choicer
liscellaneous Literature of tjie day. Every number
ill contain numerous Pictorial illustrations, a^cii
