Wo take them from tho Oct. number of that beautiful and excellent sheet. I've work'din the heat, ar.d I've work'd in the cold, I've work'd with the young, and I've work'd with the old, I've work'd very late, and I've work'd very soon, I've work'd by the sun, and I've work'd by the moon; But I'm sure I cau tell you without any fear, I can work very well without any beer. I've work'd far from home, and I've work'd rather nigh, I've work'd in the w et, and I've worked in the dry, I've work'd amougstcoru, and I've work'd amongst I've work'd by the piece, nnd I've work'd by the day, And I'm sure I can tel! you without any fear. I can work very well witboutany beer. I've work'd amongst lime, and I've work'd amongsi chalk, I've work'd amongst still folks, and those that could talk, I've work'd amongst iron, and I've work'd nniongsl wood, I've work'd amongst bad, and I've work'd amongst good, But wherever I go, there's nothing to fear So much as the foolish, made foolish by beer. I've wrote and I've read, Fve suinm'd and I've talk'd, I've been out on pleasure, with friends I've walk'd, But never, no, never, no use could I see Of taking strong drink, so hurtful to me ; Thus I'm sure 1 can tell you without any fear, These things can be managed witboutany beer. gumtsiitg BeaMng. MUSIC VS. DEATH. i . i i _ ? Strauss was a man or rcmarKaoie genius, and not only developed the powers of the German dance in an unprecedented degree, but influenced the whole of modern music Composers of no mean note, although not of the first class, were known to visit Vienna, to get themes for new operas from Strauss's new waltzes. His decease reminds us of a capital story which appeared in some German paper, shortly after the cholera of 1832. We heard it from a clever Vieunese musician, and wish that we could give it with the spirit of his side-splitting recital. Here it is as we remember it: When the cholera was at its height, Death knocked one morning on the panel of Strauss's chamber; having an old woman by his side, whom he picked up at the next door"Come, Strauss," said the grim sheriff who collects nature's debts. " you must go along with me." "With you" exclaimed the terrified musician; " no I cau't, I won't. I am only thirty years of age. Do, spare me a little longer!" " No Strauss, you must coiuc, don't keep me waiting; I have an immensity to do these stirring times." " Oh ! I can't go; I am making thirty thousand thalers a year. You can't be so hard hearted as to take away from Vienna a man only thirty years old, with thirty thousand thalers a year." " None of your nonseuse. Hard-hearted! Don't you see through my ribs that I have no neait at nil. i:ome along, Mranss, come nloDg!" " But consider, Death, what the Emperor will think of you, and h.>w the whole Court will vote jou a bore, if they got no new waltzes uext winter." 'Pshaw for your Emperor! I'll take him off if ho says much. I should like to seo them put Death out of fashion." " Well then, since I must go, let me play one more waltz before I leave my darling instrument," pleaded the poor trembler. " 80 yon may, but see that it is a good one," answered Death, cocking his ear like a connoisseur. Strauss played the waltz, Death making the measure complacently, and saying, when it was done, with a patronizing air, " Pretty well, Strauss, you may play another." Strauss began in a more spirited strain.? Death kept the time with Band and foot; the old woman kept time also, until, unable to resist the more than magical impulse, he threw his arms about her, and arouud and around spun Death and the old woman. Strauss, playing for the little remnant of his life, showed no signs of weariness, but Death was getting exhausted and giddy. " Stop, Strauss ! stop!" he cried; but Strauss played on. "Stop, I say Strauss;" Strauss only put on a crescendo. "Strauss! Strauss! I can't stop myself unless you stop?so stop I say!" ? Will you release me clear, if I stop ?" asked Strauss. " I can't?do?that," says Death, pitiably gasping out his word. "Then you shall waltz on," answered Strauss, exulting in his power to create a soul under the ribs of Death. At last Death, beaten out, says, still whirling like a dervish, " I'll make?a bargain?with? 9f you. " What is it ?" replied Strauss, playiDg yet more furiously. " You?shall live four years longer?if you?will pay me?instead?of your life? the lives of?fifty thousand other?people ?each year!" "Done!" cried Strauss. " So, ever since, fifty -thousand people have each year killed themselves dancing Strauss's waltzes." TAKING THEM DOWN. % A friend tells us a good story illustrative of a fact which is not so generally credited in certain circles as it ought to be. We will repeat the story for its moral: At St. is a college, whose students did not excite the most profound admiration lor tneir common sense, ine youtns were, generally, drawn from the wealthy classes, and seemed to think a college course everything that was necessary to fit thein for a leading position in society. At one of the commencements, Judge H., one of the most admirable lawyers, and one of the most excellent men in the State, was chosen for the iVm Pi Kappa address. His subject, by a vote of the graduating class, was recommended to be, "The Dignity of a College Education and the public was quite qui citron the occasion, expecting something very fine. The evening came, and with it a densely crowded hall to listen to the Judge's oration. When all was ready, he came forward, and the following was his speech : "Ladies and Gentlemen, and Young Men of the Graduating Class : "You see before you a man who never experienced a college education. lie was born of poor parents; he grew to boyhood on a plough handle, and to manhood a-foot and alone. His education was gleaned from tomb i stones and sign-posts, uud his first honors : ! caiue in the shape of a two dollar fee for ; i pleading the cause of a negro, who had been ! I kuocked down by a college student. From i that day I have entertained a contempt for : j1 'college-bred" boys, college morals and col- j ; lege acquirements : and f feel happy, on | this occasion, of testifying of the thankful- i : ness for the poverty which kept me out of, ; college, and threw urn back upon my own rc- 1 j sources and energy for a living. They have j ! not failed me; and trusting that yon may 1 j profit by my example, T here wish that you ! j may all take your first lessons in common : ; sense by going to the plough handle, and , ; working your way up to the defence of a ne gro: thai you will bo fitted for some degree | of usefulness, according to the degree of j j brains Hod has invested you with." iSo saying, the Judge bowed himself from i the stage, amid such a storm of applause as ! rarelv erects a speaker. He evidently had ; | made a "hit" iu several ways, not the least j of which was teaching tho young men that 1 ; true eminence cau come as well from the ; ! ploughshare as from the college.?Art Jourj naL I Good for a Shave.?During the "shinj plaster" days, a well known French Barber j in Washington, issued certain fippennybit i notes, which purported on the face to be re; deemable in specie, at sight, when presented ! in sums of not less than five dollars; or, | singly, "good for a shave" at his cstablishj ment. One day, while occupied in lather, | ing down a customer, he was accosted by a [ boy, who merely held out to him two of bis j own notes. "Vat you want?eh ?" inquired Monsieur. "Master says I'm to get a shillin' for these j notes sir!" ".4 shrclimj! Par'dicu! can not your i mastare read ?

As the boy vanished, the little barber looked after him, and exclaimed, "I do not siuk zat he will come back. Ze note say 'in souis of five dollare,'?and 1 Hid aid// issue four dollare and sevcntcr-fivc cents!" i -t) j J565t? At a hickory raising in Norfolk, Va., : when a large concourse, covering the whole i street, wasgathering around the stand, listeni ing to the speaker, the Know-Nothing pro' cession?which had several times during the i evening came near getting into a row with j j the Democratic?attempted to march through J . the crowd, doubtless to interrupt the speak- I ere. Ill feeling at once arose, two or three j were knocked down who would not give way, i several pistols were fired off, and a serious j riot was about to occur, when Wm. Lamb, j | Esq., editor of the Southern Argus, who j j was presiding, arose, stopped the speaker, ! i who was vainly endeavoring to be heard, and j ! poiuting his finger with an air of scorn at : j the advancing procession, shouted loud t j enough to be heard above the uproar: " Democrats, stand back aud let the funeral pass!" The effect was electrical; the j Democrats gave way with three loud cheers, the Know-Nothings countermarched, and | order was restored. Graceless Impatience.?A little girl, not three years of ago, while her father was engaged in family prayer, becoming, no doubt, weary at the length of the exorcise, and happily recollecting how it always terminated, suddenly shouted out "Amen."1 After waiting a moment or two and observI ing that this proved ineffectual, she repcatI ed, with more emphasis, " Amen" By this time a smile was creeping over her father's countenance auu noticing that he hesitated a little and betrayed a manifest effort to proceed with his devotion, she pleasantly added?"Pa, eau'tyou say it?" Itisneedlcss to say that the length of the prayer was much shorteued. Misunderstanding.?The other day the ! conductor of a train on a X. Y. Railroad, j discovered an Irishman in the ear, soon after starting from ltome, aud demanded his fare. Pat declared he had no money. The conductor, after lecturiug him, told him to leave at the first stopping place, not far distant. Accordingly, Pat was one of the first to get off at the next station But judge of the conductor's surprise and wrath to find him aboard when farily under way. "Did I not tell you to get off?" "And sure I did." "Why then are you here again?" "And sure, did you not say "All aboard?" A Bright Rustic.?A few days since, a countryman came to town at Lowell, Mass., and going to the post-office with a bank bill, called for a dollar's worth of postage stamps; the clerks wanted specie, and he straightway returned with four Spanish quarters; and these being also denied admittance, except at a discount, he came a third time with a > hundred coppers, and a very copperish look of exultation. Being informed by the official behind the wiudow that coppers were : not a legal tender to a larger amount than ! three cents at a time, the man from the rural j districts coolly purchased a single stamp, and J ; repeated the operation until his persecutor j coved and took the remaiuing cents in a 1 lump, much to the internal satisfaction of i the individual outside. Suicide.?The following is an anecdote | of Dr. Johnson: Boswcll once asked Johnson if there was j j no possible circumstance under which suicide I I would be justifiable. f No,' was the reply. 'Well/ saysBoswell, 'suppose a man had ' | been guilty of some fraud that he was cer- i ! tain would be found out. I " Why, then,' says Johnson, 'inthatcasej j let him go to some country where he is not j known, and not to the devil where he is! known.' | 8&*i(Grandmother," said a child on re-1 1 turning from Sunday-school one fine morn- j | ing, ? is the Bible true?" j "Certainly," replied the old lady "but, why do you ask ?" " Because it says every hair of our head ] is numbered, and so I pulled out a handful to-day, and there wasn't a number on one of! j em. " What heresy!" exclaimed the old lady, and fainted. ag?- A man carrying a cradle was stopped by an old woman and thus accosted: ! ?

' i This is March, the first spring month, a period in which all plantation work should ; r ' march forward with a quick pace. We do . not intend to be understood by this, howcv- ' f ; er, as urging the quick dispatch of any irn- j _ ; povtanc plantation work by the merely sini-j pic and foolish rule of do if. We should ' ^ i first determine that all the work of the plan- ! ^ } tation, and most especially the preparation | for and planting the crop, should be done I well, and then wc should "make baste slow3 ! ly" and carefully in its performance. There may bo some preparation yet to j make or complete before you are fully ready to commence planting corn; don't be deterred from attending to it because some neigh j boring planter has been several days plante ing upon land unmanured, or otherwise im1 perfectly prepared for planting to the best . I advantage, tf you have sonic manure yet . j to haul out, have it done by all means, and ! the land upon which you intend to jtlant your II corn well broken up, if it take you till the j j 10th of the month, your chances for a good j corn crop will be much more certain, than if i planted earlier on your land imperfectly pro pa 1v_vj. If you have spent the month of February in the proper preparation of your corn land, 3 j in plowing it up deep and close, and you ; have a little manure, such as cotton seed or ! guano, to put on it, you need have no aps ; prehension, if you have your corn planted by 3 i the 1 T?th to the 20th of March; no other . I planting is so likely, as yours, or so certain B i of producing a fine crop of corn. Of this _ j one fact, however, no planter should lose j j sight, that you need not calculate, with any ; probable degree of certainty, upon arcmun-1 r j crating yield, when you plant your corn up| on unprepared land, whether you plant ear- j 3 ! lyor late, and the seasons will most proba- j j oly hit wroug during all the growing year, 1 ! Time and care expended in putting your ; y j corn in the ground in good condition, tells ! most advantageously upon the prosperity of; | the growing crop, and its usury is realized : s i in the gathering. A good start, and a fair! f ' start, in the planting of the crop?and by ! , J that we don't mean a winter start?is like a I 1 good start in all other undertakings ; we feel 1 . ! it;* benefits through all the work. ? I Planters differ very materially, and even 1 I under very similar circumstances, as t'o the j spacing and distancing of the corn rows on 4 : the land, and the hills or stalks of corn on ; the rows. We do not here propose to deI j tain our readers with our individual mode of j doing this work, which we have written so ! often; but this wc will say, that it is a mat1 j ter of the first importance, after the proper ^ i preparation of the soil, to so arrange your ' ' rows, by leveling, distancing and spacing the I the stalks on the rows, as that, at the most j j luxurant period of the corn's growth, while : > ; ;<! .*n fh n Knorinrr cfotrn n lnnr1 clinnld Kr* 1 , .u .o ? ..uw WV , '! just cveu full; if too thick, aiul a greater 1 J quantity of the proper elements of the grain j ; be needed than can be furnished by the soil, j . j the whole crop suffers; and if, on the other | : | hand, your stalks occupy so much as 20, 2;} . i to 30superficial square feet, as we frequent- ; , J ly sec, the crop, however flattering, does not; more than pay expenses, and but poorly com- j pensates the labor. This is a subject too little cared for by our j . Southern planters ; few think of measuring, j or estimating, or even givinga thought as to | the quantity of soluble fertility or plant food their land may possess per acre ; hence so ! little system and rule in regulating the stalks i of corn or cotton on the land. Every plan. I tor should know, with a very good degree of : j certainty, the capacity of every acre of land ! ; he cultivates. If you have land containing J j sufficient soluble food, for forty bushels of I i corn per acre, and you very thoughtlessly or j carelessly plant it, so as to gather but twenty i bushels or less, cither by putting too many or I too few stalks per acre, your interest suffers, j and the failure is attributed to bad seasons. Deep plowing, and the thorough preparation of the land, is the first important object; the proper management-of the rows on the land, and the hills or stalks on the rows, is the next essential; and when this is the case, our i word for is, the seasons will hit exactly right ' for a fine crop, nine years out of ten. Much of the preparation, in the way of J plowing and bedding the land for cotton, is , I to be done this month. Do not allow your| self?becausesomc one or more of your neigli! bors say they are done bedding and have commenced planting cotton by the 20th | | March?to be hurried into a.slight and half ! performance of this absolutely essential work, j by which any thing like a certain and full ! yield of the laud is to be obtained. Bear this in mind, because it is an axiom in successful cotton culture, that the preparation , season, if uuderstandingly and properly em-1 j ployed, is the most important season during i all the culture of the crop Let nothing deter you from plowing decj)?twelve inches, if you have the team and plow to perform the work, and in this furrow twelve inches j deeper, with a sub-soil plow. Such work j will secure a good and heavy crop on any I character of land, and under any ordinary j i vicissitude of season. Indeed, it is the only ; j work that can be relied upon for a crop on j i any land. Mr. A. says: "I dare not plow my sandy ' | land but two inches deep, because it is too i loose already ! and to loosen it up eighteen j to twenty-four inches, will render it a barj ren bank of loose, sterile sand." ! Mr. B. says: "On my oak and hickory I clayish land, I dare not mix the clay with j ! the soil, because that will certainly impover- i i ish the whole." Mr. C. says : "On my calcareous land, it j i will not do to turn up the lime with the soil; i I such will rust the cotton and fire the com." j These are the three great leading varie- i i ties of soil in the cotton region, and these ! | the arguments that may be heard any and j1 i twprv dnv. hv thnsn miltivatinfr them, in sun- ! I V "V 1 J " O / i* I ' port of their system of two to three inch j i preparation. But the Cotton Planter argues j j in this wise: Deep plowing and subsoiling, | ! like lime, acts like a charm upon every va-! ! riety of land, and especially is it valuable if j, J you combine it with a liberal dressing of j ! manure. You produce, in the first place, a : J ' deep, loose and friable soil; this is the direct' | effect of deep plowing on all land. By the : subsoiling, as deep again, you relieve the i1 I growing crop from all surplus moisture at a ; j wet time, and in a drought you furnish the j. i means for sufficient moisture; first, you fa- \l j cilitatc the dip of the roots of corn and cot-1, ton down into the earth; second, in the same I way, you facilitate the capillary attraction | that is always going on between a loose, pulverized surface and the moisture below.? ' ? ? There 5 ? no plant more benefitted by sub- j soiling in our climate, and on our lands, j than th'e cotton plant. Much rain and sur- | plus moisture injures cotton, at all stages of its growth; deep plowing and suhsuiling, in preparing the lands, counteracts the effects ui' too much rain and moisture at the surface. ^o*? English Vode of Fattening Poultry. j ?The food usually selected for fattening poultry is not meal mixed either with scalding milk or water. Cooped fowls should he j supplied with fresh food three times daily, | namely, at daybreak, or as soon after as jigs- j I sible; at mid day, and again at roosting ' time. As mueji as they can eat should be i given them on each occasion, but no more , than can he devoured before the new meal; ! should any be left, it should be moved and | given to other fowls, as, "if kept, it is apt to | become sour, when the birds will not eat frcci ly. The troughs for the soft meal should be i scaked out daily, which can only he done I conveniently by having a supply of spare j : oues. In addition to soft food, a supply of! ! fresh, clean water must be constantly present, and a little gravel must be given daily, othi envise the crrindiny action of the viz/ard . . ? ? ? . . I I which is necessary totiie duo digestion of the food, docs not go on satisfactorily) the sup; ply of a little sliced cabbage or turnip tops, : or a greeti turf to pick occasionally, being ; all that is required. A variation iu the food | will be found very conducive to an increased I appetite, and therefore llio occasional substi| tution of a feed of boiled hurley for the ] slaked oat uieal is desirable. Some feeders I have a division in their troughs, or still befj ter, a small extra trough, which always con! tains some grains for the fowls to peck at.? j Should the birds be required very fat, some j mutton suet or trimmings of the loin may | be chapped up and boiled in the milk or wa! tor preparatory to its being poured over the j food, and the fat of fowls so fatted will be ; found exceedingly firm. . If l? - ? ? Small Farms.?We desire to impress on 1 the common sense reasoning of every man, j the paramount, importance of having no more land iu cultivation than can be well cultiva; ted. By uo means attempt to manage more than yon can manage well. Be a farmer, not a mere earth scraper, lazily scratching up sufficient earth to destroy the face of the soil, and throw seed away, or you will always have to scratch hard for a living. But make your farm a source of pride, and it will surely become a source of profit. Make the object to be not to have many, but rich acres. , ? ??? ?
