CHRISTMAS ADDRESS '
' OP THE CARRIER OP
3TI)t am5rn 3o?rtial,
TO HIS PATRONS.
The Christmas is come! Thro' fie shadows
terrestrial,
Ail-gloriously beams the morn's blessed ray,
Good Patrons your welcome pure, holy, celestial,
Let every heart offer with rapture to day.
If the-echo of glory, and pood will should find us
Repeating the Anthem of cherubic joy:,
And if of our duties its chorus remind us,
O! why not the claims of the Carrier Boyl ?
O'er the path of your life Heaven's mercies unn
umber'(1,
From the hand of the seasons, and fortune appear,
Scatt'ring flowers and fruits where your young
hopes have 6loniber'd,
And cov'ring the tomb of the Old dying Year,
And since in your basket and store, without measure,
You are blest with the good things which never
can cloy;
To your friends, and the poor freely open your
treasure!
But be sure to remember the Carrier Boy.
Tho' piercing the cold, or thunder-bolts darted
Thpo' torrents of rain, he has laid at your doorv
The Journal of news, which has weekly imparted
To banquets of morn, at least, one pleasure
V- more.
Of all that was good, and nothing pernicious,
Our well written columns form'd the happy
alloy,
To suit every taste whether learn'd or capricious;
If not?should you blamethe poor Carrier Boy?
Busy Map, as they call it, of life, and the fashiors,
Thro' all the wide circle of.-.fast fleeting time,
Of science and letters?this book of the passions
Shmv'd trials of Virtue, and legends of Crime.
Amidst this display of the world which cohfuses
And inake6 the fond heart a distraction and toy,
[ The patriot's thpnie woke the harp of the Muses,
I And kindled the zeal of the Carrier Boy.
Columbia! my Country! the beam of thy glory,-,
Like the star of theNorth o'erthe dark rolling
sea,
Points the nations of earth, thro' a vista of glory
To the Land of the Brave, and the Home of
the Free! :
If-ever should dare any hostile alliance, .
Thy 'scutcheon to soil, or thy home to destroy,
Lest palsied in death, it would nerve to defiance,
E'en the hand and the heart of the Carrier Boy.
But still mv. <rood Patrons, with time' sills irapen
-? j ^ , o
ding,
As storm clouds which sleep on the Ocean's
calm breast, . "
We may think of the grave and the wild reefs
defending,
The passage at last to our haven of rest
But who shall first stand on that bleak howling
Isthmus,
Where storm spirits watch every bark to destroy??
And which of us all shall, at the next Christmas,
Receive the Address of the Carrier Boy?
Omay, as the guardian of passion and.feeling,
The sWord of the Angel, and wing of the Dove,
Protect every soul, and mercy revealing.
Unite the whole world in the Empire of love!
And when over death, and sorrow victorious,
v We enter the Heaven where nought can annoy;
Be that our own Home, bright, blessed andglorious?
, .
Is the r:ayer most devout of the
CARRIER BOY.
Lnvc of Home.?I have at times tried
tci imagine the feelings of a man ivho is,

never will again look upon his native land

death. 1 c iild fancy that I was going
away to (lit?going to live somewhere iiulil
death came?in some huge prison, with
a jailike sky ah.ive it, and an area that
migln stretch hundreds of miles, with a
wide sph around it, on the margin of which
I should wander alone sighing away my
soul to regain mv nalive. land. Every
tiling would be strange to me; thp landscape
would call up no recollections; I
should have not even a tree to call my
Iriend; fi '?r a flower which I could say was
my own Ah! after all, it is something to
look upon the church-yard where those
that we love are at rest, to gaze upon their
graves arid think what we have gone
through with them, and what we would do
to recall th-'m fiom the dead. Reader
pardon these childish thoughts?they forced
themselves into rny mind and, 1 have
rerotded their.; they seem to awaken my
memory anew, and strip me of a score of
years; they have a foolish hold on my affections.
Bnl surely it is a wo r thy'passion
to cherish; there seems to be something
holy about the past; it is freed front
all selfishness; we love it for its o? n sake
we sigh for it hpcause it can never again
be recalled; even as the food mother broods

Nor is this all. From the colnmns%>fr'
your little jj'ork, .]Larn satisfied thiiverfyji,.
reaped ten times the amount of rav
scription already in a single article. ^
am, therefore, still your debtor, and to repay
the obligation, in'a measure' I have jfc
concluded to give yon my mode of managing
manure; a point upon which you very .
properly lay great stress, and one upon
which any opinionrderiveii from ex peri
ence may be valuable. For the., last ten
years I have paid great attention to this ,
subject, and have trod every plausible method
recommended in |he agricultural periodicals
of the day. jti?e.fesuJl ,of those
experiments has.riiffsned mo that"the tiff
ference betwren one mode and ann tit#/, is"
much greater tharijwonldjw? imagined, ^iid
that the greatest arcreunf good farftnpg
consists in discovering the-best -mode ?{
preserving the valuable properties ofiran- r
urr. ^
The portions of filing- which afford nuitri-v-..
ment to plants are volatile and. solublcj.? ^
They arp evaporated bv lie' ^atid dlssblt*- y
ed&yrain. Dung' ia exposed to ^the per- ' niciotis
effects of.heat. either in a pile of
when scattered, to the influence of the
summer sun'and atmosphere? How-then
iVitr to be preserved? -By applying it ,to ' ^
a growing crop as soon as made: 'I "fiav.e
heard a great deal of the necessity of f?rj
mentation, and the injury done bv frosfc
manure that manure has a tendency 1
generate heat is certain, and that if appli-:r^.ed
fresh in too^rcat quantities, it may
produce too* much heat for the healthy
growth of plants is certain; and it is certain
also that you may subject it by time
and exposure to a -process by whi^h h>. .
will be robbed of tliose properties, when
.you.may apply it -in..any* quantity with
impunity, but with comparatively little
benefit too. What would be thought ofan
invalid who would fo to an apothecary
and say,'"Sir, I want some columel that .- >*
you have had in the house for tnany
years, of which 1 can take a large quantity
without danger," and what' wrtfild
ply^'Hir, this, having lust its-virtues an#"'
become comparatively innoxious, is.roueli
more valuable thau the fresher article,
and I must charge you-a greater price
per ounce for it?'* It wotihl he jur'-iib reasuitable,
as to assert that old manure is III
any case better than fresh. ^ .
Satisfied of those f icts, I ptirsue^i^ na- :.
tnral and simple plan of malciiig it ,-Jthe
business ofa particular boy, every' morning,
to collect carefully the-deposits from <*
my stalls, stable yard, hog pcu, and spread
it thinly upon sorne one of my
growing crops. If the crop is not out of
the ground, and consequently, the leaf not
so expended as to seize the gas?es given
out in the process of evaporation, I have
the manure slightly covered with earth.?
Of course, if the ground is too wet to be
trampled, I wait until it is dry enough for
the purpose. .
Now this may seem to some, who have
been used to heaping manure, and making
compost, a very theoretical mode, of
procedure. But let them try.it, and they
ivi 1 find it highly practical?they will find, >
thai they will obtain more than double
the nutriihent from the same quantity of
dune, and they, will also find that they are - ;
relieved from a great quantity of extra
labor. Farmers are adri.sed to accumulate
large banks of dung, mixed with ruud,
weeds, &r. For what, purpose? That j ^
they may have on their h nds the labor
of scattering it again at the very ^busiest
serson of the year? Instead ofaccutunlaiing
the labor and running the risk of constant
waste, let them scrupulously collect
every thing they can find in the shape of
manure and apply it as soon as made.
By this simple method they are relic*-/?*
ed from the necessity and expense! or a
stercorarv, the filth of a manure pile, ;,i
and the uneasiness arising from the anti^i- <
pated labor of putting put their manure.?
They certainly get all the benefit to he
derived from their manure, and if would he
hard for any other process,to accomplish
more. .
; - > . flfk . . * k +X ' '
The plan I recommend is so novel and
so opposite to preconceived opinions,
that 1 am deterreci from putting my name - ..
to this arlile, for dear of the ridicule it will
excite. I hope, however-,.*that some one ^
wiili more resolution" will nive it a lair
^trial, and report wha^,I know lie will J5n<V.
to be, the beneficial result. Willi trie
most ardent wishes for the success of your
periodiral, which deserves the support of
every farmer in Virginia at least,.1 remain.
