They discourse of their colds, and thoy hem and A

And complain of their servants to pass tho time off. S
But toa, that cnlivencr of wit and of sou), j'
Moro loquacious by far than the draughts of the j
bowl,
Soon loosens tho tongues and enlivens the mind,
And lightens the eyes to tho faults of mankind. ?
In harmless chit chat and acquaintance they roast, V
And serve up a fri nd as they serve up a toast. d
A bit of bread scandal is like a dry crust, j
It would stick in their throat, so they buttor it first .
With a 'ittlo afl'ccted good nature and cry
" Nobody regrets the thing deeper than I-" *
Oh how nice is the tcsturc, how fragile tho frame j]
Of that dclicntc blossom?a person's fair fame. (j

And shrinks from the touch us if pregnant with

Miscellaneous. c
THE JEWS. "t
The persecution of the Jews at Pamas- e
cus lias excited the deep sympathy of their t
brethern in all parts of the world. In the j
commercial cities whore they are princi- r
pally congregated, meetings have been j,
held and resolutions adopted expressive of i
their feelings on the occasion, in which
other citizens have largely participated.
The tone of these meetings, so far as acnnnritu
nf liavf rMrliprl in. nnnpars
to be digmfidc, and to exhibit more of the
character which distinguished them under j
calamities in ancient days, than perhaps
any thing which lias been witnessed during
their dispersion. As a people their |
history has been prophetically discribcd
"in the Law and the Prophets,"in that very c
record which they bind to their hearts as J
the richest legacy of- heaven?and from
the same source we are authorized to be- 1
lieve that the time of their dispersion is ];
drawing to a close?that the God of their ,
fathers will remember them in inercv will
gather them into his fold?will make them }
a holy generation, a royal priesthood, a i
peculiar people, and will show them his
richest favor. And who can tell but these ^
very trials which they are called to endure, %
in sympathy for their persecuted brethren, ?
may awaken the inquiry whether they
have not hitherto rejected the true Mcs- J
Sian, anu wnemer men; IS any uuiur name
given under heaven among men whereby I1
they must be saved? Or who can tell but
it may be the means of interesting the
Church of the Lord Jesus Christ on their ^
behalf with something of the feeling
which actuated the bosom of Paul, when H
his conscience bore him witness in the Ho- J|
ly Ghost that he had great heaviness and
continual sorrow in his heai t, for his bre- n
thorn, his kindsmen according to the flesh,
who arc Israelites, to whom pertaineth the
adoption and the glory, and the cove- ^
nants, and the giving of the law, and the
service of God, and the promises, whose ^
are the fathers, and of whom as concer- '<
ning the flesh Christ came, who is over n
all God blessed forever." Indeed we can
regard the dcaiings of God with them in '
no other light than as among the means n
which he, in his infinite wisdom, sees fit r
to employ to accomplish his expressed ^
and glorioas designs towards them as a ^
people. And hence it is highly proper ^
that Christians should inquire what it be- 1(
hoves them to do under existing circum- P
stances, and in reference to the seed of r
Abraham, the friend of God. c

LARGE CORN CROP. tl
We publish the following from William d
Stone, Esq. of this place, with great plea- sure.
We think the crop described can p
hardly be beaten. If any of our farming IV
friends know of a plan by which as much I
or more corn can be raised, on the ex- e
haustcd lands of this and the neighboring o
?. .tMi! fhnv xvill us and the commu
UUUilklV^ uivj ?* nt v?v L
nity a favor, by letting us into the secret.!
Communications on agricultural subjects, Jfl
we always gladly publish; and we regret Jtl
that those whose practical knowledge of o
agriculture, do not oftener send us the re- c
suits of their experiments. V
"Washington, Sept. J 5. tl
"Mr. Cottikg?The following cxperi- tl
ment, and unparallelledproduction of three tl
barrels, three pecks and four quarts of p
:orn, from one acfc of poor land, without
my manure, save, that of leaves, induces
ne to offer you this for publication. The*
bllowmg was the process.
' The land was broken up in Noveml?cr,
ind thrown into flat ridges two feet wide,
tnd six feet apart. It lay in that situation
intil the middle of inarch. We then run
. furrow with a small rooter, in the midlie
of the ridge, and a similar one on each
ide of the middle furrow nine inches from
;?making three rooter furrows on each
lat ridge?and dropped the corn in each
ooter furrow, double the quantity we inended
to let stand. When brought to a
tand, our intention was to leave the stalks
Iirec feet apart in each furrow, which
I'ould give about eight thousand five hunrcd
stalks to. the acre. When the corn
vaa up, thinned, and had obtained the
icight of six inches, we put a coat of
?aves. flhnnf thrpp nr four inrhpc thirlr
covering the flat ridge all overand around
lie corn then plowed and hoed it, coverng
the leaves with soil. In about twelve
lays, we repeated a similai processaid
the corn by some time in May, and
hen coverd the ground all over, between
lie tqws, about six inches deep, with
eaves, which were put on and covered
vhilc wet, in order that the ground might
etain its moisture, to prevent the crop
rom firing. "The rows were 80 by 62
ards, making 39 double rows, 80 yards
ong. \Ve fathered and measured three
>f the double mws, two on each side, and
>ne in the middle; the three rows prolucedten
bushels in the ears, which snell:d
out six bushels one and a half peck. A
hort calculation will show that, as the
hree rows produced six bnshelsand three:ights
of a bushel, the whole -product of
he 39 rows was eighty-two bushels, three
>ccks, and four quarts for about an acre.
Hie corn being so thick, might have fired
n a dry season, and unquestionably would,
f not protected by the leaves.
"Your's respectfully.
WM. STONE"
