POETICAL. _
Mil ton dn jits Loss of Sight.—The foilwing
sublime pfm is said t»* have been taken from the Oxford
ediiion oi Mi1 tun’s works!
I am old and blind!
Men pant at men as smitten btf G d’s frown;
AtTkcted an 1 deserted of my kind,
Vet f am cost down.
I am weak, yet strong;
I murmur not that 1 no longer see;—
Poor, old. and helpless, l the more belong,
Fit her supreme! to thee.
A merciful one!
When met: are farthest, then thou art most near,
\\ hen -friends pass by my weakness to shun,
Thy chariot I hear.
* Thv glorious face
T< leaning t ward me, and it? holy light
Jvune* m upon my lonely dwelling place—
A 1 there is no more night.
On my bend- d knee,
1 recognize 'Thy purp >-e, clearly shown;
My vision thou hast dimmed that i may see
Thyself, thyself alone.
1 have nought to fear;
‘‘ This darkness is the shadow of thy wing;
Beneath i: 1 am almost sacred—here,
Can c une no evil thing.
Old 1 seem to stand
Trembling, w here foot of mortal ne’er hath been
Wrapped m the radiance fr m the sinless laud
Which eye hath t.ever seen.
\ isions r >me and go,
Shapes of resplendent beauty round me throng,
From angel 11ps 1 seem to iiear the flow
Of soft and holy sting.
It is nothing now,
When heaven is opening on my sightless eyes,
\\ lien airs from “Paradise,” refresh my brow,
H'he eartli in darkness lies.
In a purer clime.
My being fills with rapture—waves of thought
R iiri upon my spirit—strains sublime
* Break over me unsought.
Givfr ins now my lyre!
I feel the stirrings of a gift divine,
W itlan my lxis.nn glows unearthly fire,
Lit by no skill of mine.
AGRICULTURAL.
I'rom the Southern JPlantcr
THOUGHTS ON AGIULTLTURR,
That the sysie n tur ning generally ptmued in this
country is su-eept idle of grea i uprovement, will not he
denied by a • v man of common intelligence. A«r ml*
tore is 11r behind most other arts and sciences at the pre
sent dav, ami why this is so I am at a loss to conceive,
- nv ii i- ; . s• ur'-e tro u which all classes and profi*s
- ns must lerive their support. The farmer is truly the
*i» -ve am! -inin ot the <•u.uunity; Lis occupation, if
!■ V 1 skill, g v s 1 fe i . motion to
1 ail otic r d- ;>irtments of industry. Seeing, then, that
agriculture is iiie master wheel of our whole political
machinery —the fmn 4a t ion and support of our wealth
:t ;d pros;crity—-how is this,that the occupation of the far
mer ha s co ne to be looked down upon by man as degrad
i g, or le-s lion ruble than the “professions,” or even
th«* matiiem: final pursuits? This is a common and hurt
tul error am. :.g fanners, inducing them to semi their
suns to study a profession or learn a trade, instead of
training them t.»tlieir own calling, and endeavorin * to
* 1 vate that clltng bv bringing into its service mure of
in'eiligence and science.
1 .el tii.* farmers of his country pursue their business
" ' i i*.-d eu< rgv and skill, an 1 let our young men
b • :a i'io d t > til t; J'linniu r is a science, which in*
vi!- s t:; :n to ; . - \v upon it the best powers of educated
munis. ami ..nr pr »b --im will no longer be held in dis
es'oeut: farm-rs v. ,;! become respected as m°n of high
into!! g -nee, of education and true science, and their sons
"i.l h : proud to follow the occupation of their fa lters.
An 'liter great evil among farmers and one that bears
1" av.ly against the progress ot improvement, is the spirit
* f speculation winch too generally prevails in this coun
try. Oecasi nilly a farmer is seen who invests his sur
plus income in improvement of i»is farm, thereby increas*
r-g iu prodtioiiveness and beauty, and affording increas
, »tl rm ai.s ..f t j lynent t » liim-elf and family; but the
go at in .j -rity expend all their means in the purchase of
more lan I than is useful to t hem—even incurring la roe
debts far this purpose on which heavy interest must be
paid, with increased taxes, and generally much trouble
and vexation.
From the Fanner's Monthly V isiter.
TOO MUCH LAND.
Why do so many farmers complain that they find far
n.i g puor, and unpr-ufitab! business? Because they try
t )col;iv iK ton much hunt Farming, when righ'ly man
aged, is as profitable business ns a person can pursue, but
umlenurchL f;»i;u is to be constantly adding acre to
acre - four already u .cultivated fields, we shall find the
business {>«►<• r e tough.
As y pas*: tlir.'tigh many of our New Fngland r< un
<i sobs rve Imw some f the farmers conduct their affairs.
They see n to think their farms are hardly large enough
t i tin u upm unless they contain from one hundred to five
hundred acres, an I this they usually have scattered a
rusiml in various places, so that »hev actually lose as
much time in gung from field to fi.-hl, and from lot to
1>'. as w ild be required to kep ten acres under good
cultivation.
I l.oveVer. Jet us watch them tor a tew months and see
how things go on.
In tin- spring they plough up so much land that they |
cannot prepare it for planting till their neighbors are ,
lit r’y ready to c tnmence li ring.
Th»*y nave manure enough for but little of their land;
and the?fibre their crops are small and late.
Their fences are not repaired in season, and conse
quently their holds are covered with the flocks and herds
i t neighbor-. l ee edges « f their mowing fields are
clothed with blacklierrv bushes ami briar-.
Tii r orchards are neglected till they are completely
h irned with dead wood, and suckers, or robbed of their
f. Inge by the caterpillars.
Now i- any one at a 1 ss to discover why such farm
ing as this is unprofitable! N >t in the least.
And yet this is precisely the nay i:i which ma
ny t a inns are conducted. Hut perhaps you mav in
quire how the evil is to be remedi *:? 1 will tell you
h >\\. S 11 y ur land; and if v »u cannot sell it, I had al
m si said, give ii away, till you have reduced your farm
to such a - ze tin! you can cultivate it properly. PI >w
up no m r hunt than you have s ifficient manure for. and
ran prepare tbr planting in seas mi. Repair your fences
" se -.sei to pr« vent y- ur in iglili rs cn'tle from encroach
! • s - • i 1 ssary
trees and hushes from y..ur fielos. St t out young fruit
trees, a n! keep them free from insects and useless rub
bisli; and vou wi fi id that far.ning is far from b-ing an
unprofi r 'e hn«r:ess. Auricula.

HOUSING MANURES.
I Imre are prob.t y few investments which would pay
a '-iter per con age than the amount nec-ssary to protect
ti.:' :ure fr on the sun, the dew and the rains. vVhile eX
j - d, tun v ol : e most nutrious substances are wasted.
A j art . 1 tins waste is bv evaporation. Every farmer
b us the power which this agent has. If you permit
n heavy dew to fall upon your bay, after it is partially
n.ad“, the col r of it will be changed, although not a
Crop of water has f.llen from it. If permitted to lie
spread f>r a few clear days, and clear nights, it will be
ruu eJ: its soluble m:> ter being cairn d off by evapora
t a. Now tin- matter is valuable, as nutriment
t ir other plants,an ! an 'game matter must be biouoht
sultjble state, bet re it is fitted fur nutriment for
▼egetaale life. it. tberr t ue. a series of evapiration be
carried on. as the vegeta e manures decompose, almost
every thing valuable will be carried off. But another
a d more direct source of loss according to common opin
ion, is to be found in the washing produced by the rains,
saturat no the manure with water, and then passing off
1 hr is indeed the only; source «f loss, ill view of many,
nut we doubt whether it is much greater than that by
ev.ip ration. J
But when manure is sheltered,there is probably an ab
Soip ton of valuable ingredients.to some extent,fr.un thr
f 1,; :si‘hf r‘>-" e •*•"<>«• ‘»w« if the earth from under any old
but. ituo IS examined, it is found rich tn nitrate of potash
(^saltpetre.) one of the tn>6t valuable of the inorganic
substances for vegetable nutrition. If then, instead of
loss from wash ai.d evaporation, we can get an accumu
lation of valuable ingredients, the subject is surely wor
thy of attention.'
From the Southern Planter.
ANTIDOTE TO POISON.
A correspondent of the London Literary Gazette gives
the f. Mowing antidote:
“I may venture to affirm there is s^ar^e even a cot
tage in this country that does not contain an invaluable,
certain and immediate remedy for such events—nothing
more than a desert spoonful uf made mustard, mixed in a
tumbler glas< of warm water, and drank immediately.—
It ac's as an instantantaneous emetic, is always readv,
and may he used with safely in any case where one is
required. By making this simple antidote known, you
may be the means of saving many a fellow creature fr« m
an untimely end.”
Fr m the Southern Phnler.
SUB SOILING.
Of the advantages which would result upon a dry.
sound soil from sub soil ploughing, we do not entertain
the shadow «»f a doubt. The ext»ense of such method «f
preparing lajid we know will be looked upon as an insu
perable objecti■ <n by many. True it will cost double to
prepare land in this way, but then, as it will increase the
product the first season fully twenty-five per cent, or
even more, the extra expense will be brought back with
compound interest, so that the culturist will lie the gain
er even in the first crop to say no’thing of the superior
productive value of his land throughout the remaining
years of his course of rotation. Avery important ad
vantage results from sub soiling and preparing it for pur
poses of culture, and thereby enabling the culturist to
deepen his surface soil without the least danger uf detri
ment.
From the Southern Planter.
fall and winter ploughing.
j Stiff clays intended f,r spring crops should be plough
ed through the fall and winter: care must be observed
not to plough either when the ground is either wet or
very drv. It ploughed at the right time, and submitted
to the action of the frost, the texture of the soil will be
greatly improved, be easier to work, produce better and
more grain. It is but candid, however, to state that stiff
clays ploughed when saturated with water become in'
tractable and remain so during the whole of the ensuimr
season.
Having thus enumerated the things of most immedi
ate attention, we will ask permission to suggest to such
ot our patrons as may not have done so, to lime their
: limls. It their land is thin, twenty-five bushels to the
• acre will be enough—if in moderate heart, forty or fifty
— if strong land, well supplied with vegetable matter,
( they may put on sixty, seventy five or one hundred—but
1 'hey must bear this truth in mint!, it is indispensably ne
1 ci -scry to sow clover seed on all limed lands.
Ill -peaking of the benefits resulting from theapplica
i lion of lime, .Vena Pueis, one of the most intelligent
. w riters upon the subject, says:
“It would tie n result from all that lias hpen said, that
lime modifies the texture of the s lilgnakesit more friable
invigorates it—renders it mure permeable—gives it the
power to better resist moisture as well as dryness—that
it produces in the soil the humate of lime which encloses
a powerful means of fertility—that lime increase much
of the energy of the soil and of plants to draw from the
atmosphere the volatile substances of which plants are
compose,I,oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and azote—that the
limed soil, in furnishing to plants the lime which they
teed, relieves the soil and plants from employing their
powers to produce it, and finally, that lime promotes the
formation of fixed substances, earthly or saline, necessa
ry to vegetation.’

OF the great varipiy of Marden’s Improved Instru

great convenience and utility as the Platform Scale,which
its astonishing degree.of accuracy is bringing into gen"
eral use.
The Platform Scale invented by the undersigned, has
great improvements upon those heretofore in use. lissu
periurity consists:
1st. In the simplicity and strength of its construction,
by ivhirh liability to injure by wear is entirely obviated.
2d. In the greater accuracy with which light, heavy,
or medium drafts can be weighed by it.
3d. In its cost, which is considerably lower than that uf
any other Scale.
These are all important considerations in the purchase
of a Seale, and their very extensive sale in this country,
(l refer to every firm that has used them,) is a proof of
their superiority.
The subscriber also keeps constantly en hand,a large
