The Star Spangled Banner. 0 say, can you see, by the dawn'i earlr light. What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes aud bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming ; . And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air," Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet ware O'er the land of the free-and the hometf the brave. On the shore, dimly seen throngh the miMs of the deep, . "Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze o'er the toweling steep, As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, la full glory reflected, new shines in the stream ; 'Tis the Star Spangled Banner ; 0 long may it ware O'er the land of the free and the home of the brare. And where are the foes who so Tauntingly swore - That the havoc of war and the battles confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more ; Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps polation No refuge could save, the hireling or slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave ; And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's deso lation ; Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n res cued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation 1 -Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto, "In God is our truat ;" And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Th TomatoIts Uses and Cultivation. The following letter on this subject will be interesting to our readers, we copy it from the Working Farmer, a well-known periodical published in New York by Charles V. Mapes. To the Editor of the Working Farmer : Dear Sib : Since you and many other cultivators of the Tomato, have expressed your surprise and satisfac tion on examining some of my Seed ling Tomatos and a desire to know their origin aud proper treatment. I will with pleasure comply with your request. Until within a few years, very little was known in this country about the To mato. It was grown as an embellish ment in some corner of a flower garden, and'called the Love Apple. Now it is an Article of daily food ; and in a few years it will be in common use in almost every part of the globe. Its culture and use will everywhere extend, just . in propotion as reliable and enapt in formation on the subject is spread. It does not tako long to scatter iacts. The human race is coming near togeth er, and all facts concerning our common welfare should be freely disseminated. I have grown the Tomato, and watch ed its culture in many of the climates and countries of Europe and America, and I will furnish my little quota of observation and practical experiance, hoping thereby to draw out valuable . information from others Every-body knows something of the value of the Tomato as a fruit, and how we should miss it if it lould be raised no more. But very few persons know how easily and abundantly it can be grown in per fection, how cheaply it can be preserv ed for future use in many forms, nor its valuable medical properties as con ducive to health and vitality. I will speak only on two or three of these points. . 1st. The best Kinds and Varieties. Six years ago I began a moro .thor ough system of experiments than I had ever practiced or seen. I prepared my beds for growing Tomatos, and the an alysis of the soil -corresponded very closely with the chemical eomponents of the fruit. I then germinated ten or twelve of the finest varieties I had, or could get, and obtained large, vigor ous plants of the same kinds from our New York gardens. One of each was planted by itself, where it could not hy bridize. In another bed I planted all the varieties together, to make them . liybridize, and multiply new kinds. I succeeded in getting one variety, which I found superior to any 1 had ever seen, in the following qualities (1) delicacy of flavor, thinness and smoothness of skin, fewness of seeds, solidity of meat, earliness of ripening richness of color, evenness of size, and ease of culture. The next year I cast all otbef varieties away, and brought this to perfection ; and it has been uni versally pronounced by Agricultural . Fairs, Farmer's clubs, and Scientific Horticulturists, to be superior to any other. - 2d. My Mode of Culture. Germin . ate in a hot-house, hot-bed or kitchen ; for very early fruit, transplant when . duite .small into pots. The Tomato improves bv every transplanting, and each time should be set deeper. From the time fouror six leaves appear, pinch or cut off the larger lower Jeaves and the terminal buds. ad continue this process of pruning, titf-the fruit js far advanced, so that wbefl, ripe, the Deas will fceera, to be covered by one mass of large, smooth, eyen sid, Tomatoes, of the richest pomegranate color and the leaves hidden by the fruit. Set plants three or; to.ur feet apart, in the warmest spoVyou have and let them, fall over to the North frames twelve or fifteen inches,hj"l for on pea brush j anything to sustain v nxA j and keep the fruit from touching the ground which delays ripening, creates mould, invites cut-worms, and always gives the Tomato an earthy taste. Try for only one cluster, (the first that blos soms) and cut everything else grad ually away. This will give you Toma toes in perfection in tho latitude of Buffalo, four or six weeks earlier than they are usually ripened in our climate. If you wish late Tomatoes, pull up ach plant by the root (just before the frost comes) and hang them up on the south side of a building, top down with a blanket to roll up days and let fall nights. When ice makes, hang them up in any room that does not freeze, or in a dry cellar, and you will have fresh Tomatoes all winter somewhat shrivelled but of very fine flavor. Having thus brought this Tomato to comparative perfection, I wish to have the seed scattered as widely as possi ble, i his last season I saved, with great care, some of tho seed from the most perfect fruit in my garden, and I have left it with Mr. Charles V. Mapes, (at his Agricultural Warerooms in Nas sau street, Is ew xork) to whom any communications on this subject may be addressed. Most Respectfully, C. EDWARDS LESTER. Strawberry Culture. , A writer in the American Farmer gives a few plaiu rules which he says, if followed to the letter, will prove themselves good rules. They are, 1st. Never have the beds so wide as to re quire the gatherer even to lean on them. 2d. Never use animal manure. ' 3d. Keep the beds clear of weeds and grass I find that any time from August to the blooming season will answer for transplanting. The first requisite is to have thebedsin good order. .Lay them off five feet wide, then spread evenly over them a good coating of well rot ted wood-pile manure or woods-mould, which is to be deeply spread in. Dur ing a moist or rainy spell set the plants in three rows and from 12 to 24 inches apart in the row. I never permit the runners to take entire possession of my beds, but keep them back by pinching in the spring, and a fall weeding. Uy this treatment my beds are pretty well covered without being matted. After the fall weeding, the beds are sowed over with wood ashes, and during th early winter, as there are opportunities, they are covered over with wood-pile manure or spent tan. During the ear ly spring, when the beds are covered with young green leaves, they are well dusted with plaster or shell lime, and when the blooms show themselves, they are again sowed over with ashes. These sowings are alvcuys made in damp weather. This comprises the entire culture required to ensure this fruit in perfection.

Para Sarsaparilla, 60 combined -with other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford an effec tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure.. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those who suffer from btrumous complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure must prove of immense service to this large class of our afflicted fellow citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found of the following complaints : Scrofula and ScROirtors Cojcplatxts, Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Ap pection8, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neu ralgia or Tic Douloureux, Debility, Dys pepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rosb or St. Anthony's Fire, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from Impurity of This compound will be found a great pro moter of health, when taken in tne spring, io expel the foul humors which fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the time ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous 6ores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by., an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores : cleanse it when you find it is ob structed and slusrirish in the veins i. cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feeling3 will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; but with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation of accomplishing these ends. But the world, has been egregiously deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for it, but more because many preparations, pretending to be. concentrated extracts of it. contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else. ' During late years the public have been mis led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, tor they not only contain little, if any, barsapa- rilla, but often no curative properties whatev er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue tne name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend ed to cure. In order to secure their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle. prepared by DR. J. C AYER & CO. LOWELL, MASS.
