SELECTED POETRY. BWIITRIABTS V8 WA*T Ob! dear, it* ulttmihil, I declare, T<? make the men all go. Ami leave so mm; sweethearts here, Without a single beau. W? like to nee them brave, 'tin true, And vim) 1 not urge them ?taj, But what are we poor girls to do. When they are all away ? He told them we could spare them there. Before thee had to go, But bleaa their hearts, we wern't aware, That we would jnisi them no. .We ruins them alt in many ways, Hut truth will ever ?rut. The great eel thing we niiw them for, In seeing un about. On Ru idayn, when we go to church, We look in vain for aome To meet un, ntniling on the porch, And ask to *ee un home. And then, we can't enjoy a walk, Since all the beaux have gone. For what a the good (to une plain talk.) If we must trudgejtlone? But what'n the nee af talking thun, We'll try to be content. MMMHg^H^thry cannot coote to Bkmpey be sent. mBHMRHi ih?jr rbMr ihout on their wty, Our arm* shall b? tbeir reeling place. When wounded sore they lay. Oh! if the son* of Southern soil. For free?lont's ratine must die. Her daughter* ask no dearer boon, Than hy their side to lie. AGRICULTURAL South Carolina Productions Tliu Yaukcos indulge in fhe inflate idea that the wholo worhi is dependen on thom for fond. Previous to our seers sion, and sinec, they have, from^hc pros and forum, yoclaimc-l that they cai ra?ily starve us into submission, by with holding their productions from us. Th following statistics, of the productions o our little, despised, and ridiculed State should satisfy us that wc can be, and ar independent of them, aud of the roat o the world : "Not many persons ara aware tha this State alone produces five-sixths near ly of all the rioe grown; but the sevcntl census of 1S50 shows that to bo the fact ncsiucs nearly all lite rw?, she produce wheat <o within ?0<vt> inrahel* of all pru ilurc?l hy the six New England State together. She produce* almost as mucl corn a* the State of New York, and 6, 000,000 of bushels of that grain uior than all the New England State* togeth rr, f?>r she produced upward* of 10,000, 000 of bnshels. She produced more oat than Maine, nioro by 1,000,000 of bush els than Massachusetts; more than 1, 000,000 bushels oP potatoes over an? above what Maine pr-xlueed ; mor brans and peas by 180,000 bwai^ia thai all the Northern States together, exeep New York; more beef cattle than Peon *>Irani* by 1740, and almost as many a all the New England States together more sheep than Iowa and Wisconsin b< 10,090; more hogs than New York bj 47,251; more than Pennsylvania h 25,187, and 80,000 more than all lb Now Knglnnd States, with New Jersey Michigan, Wisconsin and California ii the bargain ; moro horses and mules L 10,000 than Maine, New Hampshire Massachusetts and Rhode Island togeth or; besides all which, she produce largely of oxen, cows, and a variety o products of the smaller kinds. ? < ?
