" LIGHT, MORE LIGHT !"
8VCH WEltE THE LA6T WORPB OF GOETHE.
The God-enamel'd flower
At early dawn looks up.
And gently would unfold
Its penciled cup;
Whilst to tho sun it saith?
Arise and chase tho night,
Wipe oil'this tear of dow?

When twilight steals away
Tho wood-bird Kinging, grieves,
And calls llio evening back
To tint tho loaves:
Itsaith?"Oh, linger yet,
I still, in airy flight,
Would butho my golden breast?
Stay, stay, O light!"
And thus thy soul crieth out,
When dawn begins to break,
And in the sky it sees
Tho first gray streak?
Away, away dark sins
Ye'vo held mo in long night,
I long to walk in day?
INIoro light! more light!
Then comes tho life's broad noon,

And oft tho 60ul doth err ;
In act and dream
Sun-spots arise to dim
The perfectness of eight;
Unsatisfied it cries?
"Temper the light!''
Then evening stcalcth on?
Tho last hours of the strife,
When angels beckon us
To leave this life :
Then as tho soul soars up
To ho.-ven's most holy height,
It crioth, plaintively?
"O Lord! more light!"
IVIoro light! more light! to see
What mystic path I tread,
\V hat dangers hover o'er
My heart and head!
Oh, Btretch thy guiding hand
And lend me through this night;
Then bathe me in a flood
Of perfect light!

Culture and Use of the Turnip.
The common flat English turnip was introduced
into this country with English ancestry
and has ever since been an object of
cultivation. When boiled it is an agreeable
vegetable for the table. Its principle
value, however, is food for cattle and sheep,
by which it is eaten uncooked. Its comparitve
nutritive properties are small, but the
great balk which can be raised on a given
piece of ground, and the facility and econo
my of cultivation, have always rendered it
a favourite with such fanners as have soil
and slock adapted to its profitable production
and use.
A good soil for it is a fertile sand or
well drained loam. Any soil adapted to
Indian corn will produce good turnips. But
it only on new land or freshly turned sod,
that they are most successful. An untilled
virgin earth, with the rich dressing of ashes
left after the recent burning of accumulated
vegetable matter, and free from weeds
and insects, is the surest and most productive
for turnip crops. Such lands need no
manure. For a award ground, or clover
lev. there should be a heavv dressinor of
J ' " - r- ? j O
fresh, unfermented manure before plowing.
Cultivation.?Turnips may be sown
at any time from the 10th of June to the
1st of August. The first will give a greater
yield; the last generrlly a sounder root
and capable of longer preservation. The
ground should be plowed and harrowed immediately
before sowing, as the mois'.ure
insures rapid germination of the seed, which
is of great importance to get it beyond the
reach of insects as soon as possible. This
may be sown 'broadcast at the rate of one
or two pounds per acre and lishtlv harrow.
? # o
ed and rolled; or it is better to be sown in
drills, when a less quantity of seed will suffice.
A turnip drill will speedily accomplish
the furrowing, sowing, covering and
rolling at a single operation. "The crop
' will be materially assisted by a top dressing
of lime, ashes and plaster, at the rate
of fifteen or twenty bushels of the first, half
the quantity of second, and three or four bushelsofthe
last, per acre. When the plants
show themselves and the leaves are partially
expanded, the cultivator or hoe may be
freely used, stirring the ground well arid
exterminating all weeds.
Ruta-baga or.13wedes Turnip.?The injrr.
' troduction of this article is comparatively
recent, and it proves to be more worthy of
attention than the English or white turnip.
It will bear a heavier soil, yield as well,
give a richer root, and it has the advantage
of keeping longer in good condition, thus
prolonging the winter food of cattle when
they most need it.
'. >. Cultivation.?It is usually planted on
wheat or corn, but if fresh virgin soil or
^ old pasturfe sod is chosen, it will materially
lessen its liability to insects and other riia
mies.?It is generally in drills sown two
: feet apart, and on heavy lands; these should
;Jbe slightly ridged. The plants must be
successively thoinned to prevent interfering
]with such as intended to mature, but
enough should remain to provide for casualties.
Where there is a deficiency, they
may be supplied l?y transplanting during
showry Weather. They should be left six
or eight inches apart in the drills. The
% swede turnip is a gross feeder, and requires
& either a rich soi4 or heavy manuring, though
" the use of fr?sh mnnnroa 1?>. ? J
?. ..w? UQOII suppusca
to fncillate- the multiplication of enemies.
fi&V Bones, ground and drilled in with the seed,
wfc,;' or a dressing of lime, ashes, gypsum and
gift, are thel)est applications that carCTao
made. The Swede should be sown from
| about the 2(hh May to the 15th^Juno,^earl'
y'tO'mature. ami'two or three weeks more
| of groth frequently adds largely to the product.
An early sowing also gives time to
raise another crop in case of failure of the
first.
Blackberry Syrup.?The following is
the receipe for making the famous Hlacki
berry syrup. No family should be without
it; all who try it will find it a sovereign remedy
for bowel conmlaints :
" To two quarts of blackberry juice, add i
half an ounce eacli of powdered nutmeg, j
i cinnamon and alspice, and a quarter of an ;
ounce of powdered cloves. Boil these to- |
geiher to get the strength of the spices, and j
to preserve the berry juice. While hot, add !
a pint of fourth proof pure French Brandy, j
and sweeten with lo:if sugar. Give a child j
two teaspoonfuls three times a day, and if I
the disorder is not clicked, add to the quan- i
j titv."
| "
To Frighten Crows.?A correspon- |
dent of the Boston Cultivator, says nothing
is better than to placc a few empty barrels
in different parts of the field?that the |
crows are afraid of nothing in plain view,
but the fear of an ambuscade is sufficient to
keep them away. As to placing efligies
_ C i i t - .1- 1 -
in a ueiu iot me aoovc purpose, it is only ;
an insult to their common sense ; it was
but yesterday I saw one of those black coat- j
ed gentlemen, perched on the limb of a tree .
to which one of these pretended scarecrows
was suspended ; making the most ludic- j
rous c-rowings innnaginablo. either at the i
image or its maker, most probably at the !
latter.
.
A friend has given us the following des- I
cription of a method to catch sheep killing
: dogs, which he assures us, is never failing j
When a sheep is found killed, build a
pole pen around it, say ten feet square at
: the bojtom, tapering in the form of a pyramid, !
to the height of lour or five feet, leaving an '
aperture at the top sufficiently large to ad- j
mit a dog of any size, say two or three feet !
square. A dog once in, is deprived of any '
looi-noiu, oy means ot winch to get out
again. j
We give the above in order that no eftbrt !
should be left untried, to rid this country j
of the worst ofpests?sheep killing dogs. I
Arista and his' Generals.?The fol- |
lowing rich scene is actually said to have j
taken place. The description, remarks the i
Matamoras Flag, is derived from a gentle- j
man high in the confidence and esteem of j
the chief actor, but whose name we arc not
permitted to mention :

"You, Requena, call yourself an artillery

; you are brave, like all gasconaders,
when dangers are at a distance ; but when

As to power, it is equal, if not superior, to
any thing now in use. It requires less titn .

and with less danger than a screw; and the
Press will lust as long as any timber protected

the number of these Pressed which are now in
use from North Carolina to Mexico, we foci
no hesitancy in saying that they will supercede
the Screw ; and there are ten of our
Presses up to one of any other, and we feel
justifi'd in saying fifty to one. The average
duration of Screws in this District is not
more than four and a half 01 five years, and
as there is not less than five hundred Screws,
