Til ill OLIO. l''rom the National II,inner. \ Fit \G,*1 KN I’. Is there a man that breathes the common And has an eve to feast on nature's charms; Who views the vast variety that earth pre The virgin lilly and the blushing rose ; The spear of giiss ami the majestic oak ; The plant that shrinks oeneath the touch of man — Is there a wretch tliat scans the mighty deep, Pc nctrates within its hidden celts—views The secret treasures resting there ; .or yet Communes with spirits of the babbling st ream, Or the sweet minstrels of the shaded wood; And is this man so callous at his heart That he,unshrinking, says there is no God? Then let the swelling tempest blow and And rock all nature at its bask, and make A chaos of its proudest work ; let 3Tis ear burst to the artillery of Heaven, 31is eyes grow dim beneath the lightning's let the ocean heave in elemental strife ; Let Etna vomit forth her fiery stream And delugo with a glowing flame the Earth ; Det Niagara shake the rolling globe ;— And if yet .he stubborn wretch would T.jet him gaze on the enamel'd skies ; Observe with awe the glowing meteor See the dread comet trailing through the Behold the bourne of unseen worlds that swell The vast vocabulary of created things, And penetrate within the ether sky I i|| he beholds planetary systems spread Ju countless numbers in the mighty void ; And still go on until his eyes shall reach The mercy seat, where dwells the Mighty ()ne VN bom he with stubborn will rejects ; And it yet he doubt, let him took to man Rcau with an eagle eye his innate nature Discern each act and purpose of his soul observe The varied intricacies of the vast machine And trace him through the mighty realm: of thought ; — And if misgivings still possess Ins mind Let him look upon a woman's firnw ; j rid \( her smile dues not subdue his rocky Jle is an imp indeed incorrigible! J. E. C. AGR 8 VEGETABLES LY ROWS-STIR RING THE GROUND DEEP, \ c. W. B. Hose, a corrt spomieiit ol Mr* Loudon, lor tin- Gardener’s Magazi . observes, that “ the advantage^ot-fre quently stirring the ground about plants is known; but it may not he obvious to every one, that the soil can be stir red much deeper when the hoe work along a continued straight line, as it, do- > between the rows, than it can be when it works’in c-irves or irregulai roumlship spaces of limited extent, as it does among crops sown broad cast. 1 sow my onions in rows sis inches apart, and 1 can stir between them to the depth of nine inches, or a foot, if I choose; but if thrv were sown broad cast, and every plant was six inches from each other, I could not stir be tween them, with a common hoe, deep er than one or two inches. “ Stirring deep and frequently ren ders w tering unnecessary,because a po rous surface is less pervious to the in at of the sun than a solid one, and there fore keeps the ground beneath both cool er and moistcr. Any pardoner who donhts this being the case, may con vince himself of the fart by covering part of a bed of onions with three inch es of rotten tan, and comparing tin soil beneath the tan with that left hare, n to heat and dryness. “Such a summer as the list proves the value of my plan; while the seed ling crops ol many of mv neighbors were burnt up, mine were in Inxuri -since; my onions stood regularly at six incites apart, and were from eight to twelve inches in circumference: mi carrots and parsnips stood at eight and too inches,and measured from ten (o four teen i - * circumference. Some voting tree?, surli as acacias (Cobhelt’s lo custs') which I drilled in May last, and thinned out and’stirred between the tows, are now three feet high.
