Old England, she has greet warriors, Great princes, and poets great; But the Blacksmith is not to I • quite forgot, In the history of the Stat?. He is rich in the bes f of all metals, l'et silver he lacks and gold ; And he p .yeth his due, and his heart is tiue. Though he Lloweth both hot and cold. The boldest m he of incendiaries, That ever tho wide world saw, And a forger as rank as e'er robbed the Lank, Though he never doth break the law. He hath shoes that are worn by strangers. Yet he laugbetb and maketh more ; And a share (concealed) in the poor man's field, Yet it a ids to the poor man's store. Then, hurrah for the iron Blicksmith! And hurrah for his iron crew ! And whenever we go where his forges glow. We'll sing what a max can do. m&zitnitnvni* For Ike Inquirer• Farming Hints for the Season—No. 2.

ROOT CROPS. — If 300 have never tried tbera, tbi3 might be the right time to give them a tri al at least on a small scale. They are very valuable for feeding to all kinds of stock ID winter. All kinds of animals should have seme - thing green, for change. When they crc fed on drv fodder. Farmers should be careful, says (j. W. in Genese* Furm-r , "to grow cuougii of roots for the cows, or, as sailors say, for greens, to keep off scurvy; and the testimony of tae an imal is unite as significant as that of the sail ors. I have a cow that is rncssod night and morning, generally on a pint of corn meal and a pint of oil meal Scalded, ioto which is cut one or two large rrirzci beets, which with water fills the pail. The cow then, after eating, licks the pail clean; but if the beets or other green substitute is left cut, she never fails to lea some of the m<-al in the p til, when she holds up her head and shakes it until she gets a beet.'" To raise these crops successfully the ground should be plowed deeply and well mixed with well rotted manure; and ruade Quo by using the harrow. CARROTS—Are a very good root for all kinds of animals: seme say they are equal to oats for horses. On good soil, with good cul ture, from five to eight hundred bus. per acre may be grown. Ttiey uiay be planted from the 15th May to 20th June, in drills fifteen to twenty-four inches apart. A good plan would be to take a common corn plow and ridge tho ground, turning two furrows together, leaving tkeu two feet from top to top. Seed should be sown 9t the rate of four pounds per acre. When they are two inches high they should be thinned to about four to six inches apart in the drill.— Keep clean of weeds by frequent hoeing*, and bear in mind that weeds and earrots will not grow together to advantage. BEETB—Are a good root for this purpose, say some writers, for field culture they should bo sown about the first of Jutm on ridges three feet apart and thiuoed to about eight inches.— The proper time to thin them is when the plants aie about two inches high, wheu tho ground is moist after a rain. RUTA BAUA—Should receive more attention for feeding purposes. They have some draw tacks in this country, they are a very smail plant where tbey make tbeir first appearance, and "many times the small black ground flea devours them before the cultivator gets sight of them. A good plan to prevent the ravages of the flea, is to watch about the time the seed is coming up, and scatter plaster on the rows. Toe time for planting is the middle of June. oaieful not to cover the seed too thick.— Sow in drills about two feet apart.—3. B. K. From the Jim dean Jgricullurisi. Ftediug Working CaUle iu Spring. I have away of feeding oattlo when they A Weekly Paper, Devoted to Literature, Polities, the Arts, Sciences, Agriculture, &c.. &c---T veg etate. This is easily done. Select from the ! mass enough to be a fair sample, and plant in a warm situation, or in a box of earth, Kept suitably warm aad moist. Au examination cf the specimens, even before coming up, will ahoy whether tLcy are in a sprouting condition.— Bettor fer to do this, than to make a simib: j experiment on a five or ten acre field, and only : lean of ah id result when too late to be rem | ectied.— lb. A TIOOD OUI-POOR WHITEWASH. —Take | unslaked lime and put it into a bucket with : about as much water as wTITbe required in use. ; Then throw iu about half a pound of tallow for a peck of lime. As the lime slakes, the heat will melt the tallow, when it is to he tho roughly stirred in—the stirring to be repeated frequently during use if any grease rises to the : surface. .No definite experiments have been made to determine the exact weight of taiiow ' for a given weight of lime. Impure or rancid i lard, oil, or other grease, may ba use J instead 'of tallow.— lb. Nifud What l'u Say ItcforeChihlreu, i It is always well to avoid saying anything f that is improper, but it is especially so before ; cLiildreii; and here parents, as well as others, | are often in fault. Children have as many ears ! as grown persons, and they are generally more i attentive to what is said before them. What I they hear they are very apt to repeat; and as : tlic-y have no discretion, and not sufficient knowl i crig. of the world to disguise anything, it s j generally found that '-chilcireit and fools speak | the truth." See that boy's eyes gii.iteu while you speak of a neighbor in language that you ww, that one r-'j .iocs at la.-t that this not Calvary—this is not Goi gotha—that tins is not the place of the Holy Sepulchre, and that for wise purposes, the Al mighty has veiled in secresy the spot whereon he sacrificed liis only iron. THE yatar ASU> rxaot. ahe dome over thvTloly S 'pulehre is leaky and broken, and rain creeps through and in upon it, but it cannot be repaired, for such is the jealousy that Greek will not let Latiu or Armenian do it, and vicn versa. Well is it, i topeut then, that lntidel, hut impartial Turk squats and smokes Lis pipe by the uoor as doorkeeper, and brings iti bis soldiers to ke< p order. But what can Turk think of such Christianity, and all this gewgaw—cool, calm, simple-minde d, unimpassioned Turk - who, in plain simplicity, spreads his mantle upon tho b>rc earth, and with his face to Mecca, offers up, humbly on h;s knees, with forehead bent to the cirtu, his prayers to the Prophet alone —no image of him, no painting, no sculptured foim, no Virgin—nothing but the Prophet him self —and, through iiiin, to Allah, his God?— What euu Jew think of it—Jew who, here in his own city, is chased out of tire Sepulchre as ■demon or wild beast would be? Hope not fur mi.-Monairics then. Talk not id Chris'i mity, and its progress in the city of tin: Great l\iuu, until all these things can be mcuded. .Never will Jew bo converted hnt by interest here; never will Moslem be turned from Mecca. The farce of 'he Holy Fire alone—that graud Greek imposition on tho Easter Evo of every year, when the Greek Patriarch alone enters the | Tomb, and "iho miraculous flatus descends from Heaven"—is only or' itseif, enough of ; disgust for the Jew and tho Moslem—if not for the Christian of any otLer name. Then on that great display and farce, the Turks have to i come in, not only with bayonets, but with i leather lasbes, to lay over tho buck 3, sboul < ders and legs of 'he Pilgrim Christiana, to keep i them in order. In the year 18#4 a fearful tra -1 gedy occurred on the Greek Easier. Four j hundred persons were trampled to death, many ! even upon the Stone of Uuctioa. | THE WAILING PLACE OF TilS JEWS. The Jews' wailing place was to me the most ■ interesting [flaca in Jerusalem. My dragoman |an East India Jew, of Moorish skin, who by : the way, is an English subject, and speaks En i glish well, conducted me thither. Wc thread- I ed our way through the usual narrow and dirty j lanes, misnamed streets, of Eastern cities, and j came to an area in the form of a quadrangle, : near the bridge where the dwellers in Zion i were once wont to pass over, to worship God in ! the Temple, ou his Holy Mouut Moriah. la I the ancient foundation wall of the Temple are several courses of large, leveled 9tones, upon I which tho Jews lavish their kisses and ern- I braces, and through tho crevices of which they i pour up their prayers to Gud for the restora tion of His Temple, nnd the early coming tri -1 umph in Jerusalem. ller the Turks have por i milted the Jews to coma and wail for years and i years, and for years and years they have coma j—the scattered tribes from all parts of the world, to cry out in the words of the Psalmist, {till; 1, 3, 5,) s O God, the Heathen have conic I into thine inheritance. The holy Temple have ■ ihey defiled; they have laid Jerusalem ou ■ heaps. Wc are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are around about us. How long Lord, wilt thou bo angry forever? Shall thy jealousy buro like fire?" Their mournful cry, as in plaintive toues they read their Hebrew Bible their devout suffering, their humble louk of contiitiou, their very admiration of the rooks ; of the Temple, are all painfully suggestive aud I teaching. The proud Moslem revels in tri • umph over them. Tho Muezzin cries ooi the i hour ot prayer just over tiieui. The loiiy i Christian, fresh from the gold and glitter, and I incense a fed light of the Holy Sepulchre, looks dofn too often with contempt upon the dirt aucl dust aud misery that there surround and j envelope the Hebrew. Now, when one thinks I ol t|t; days of David and Solosaou, and kuows | that these are God's chosen people, and that j prophecy t .l's us sotuo day or other Jerusalem shalj bo theirs again, the whole scene becomes so touching that one can scarcely refrain hini- self from leading.* I must confess 1 have nev er l4en more affected by any spectacle. It Las 1 disarmed me of a thousand prejudicce against the Jews, and 1 am sure I now feci for a Jew a* for a man and brother. PILGRIMS TO JERUSALEM—THE SPIRIT OP THE CRUSADERS. Probably more earnest, more fanatic men assemble here than in any other city of iike population.— for Jerusalem is uot only holy to Chris: iao, Luf to the Jew and tiio Mussleman. All nations, all religions, look up to Abraham, IsnaO and Jacob, and respect the Prophets and their outgivings. The Caliph Omar consecra ted Lis Mosque on Mount Mtcioh, as tie Em peror 0: .stautir.o did his Church upon the sup posed Mount Calvary. When in mv voyage i.itliiT, i Siw Pilgrims evcu from the digtaiit Lust a, as well as from ail parts of Greece anil Turkey, coming hither, often in blank ss, with only rag coverings necessary for deeeuc--, sub mitting to everything, and suffering everything —exposed to r;.ia, and to the cold atr of night, upon the decks of Austrian, French and Rus sian steamers—l felt tin y must be nil earnest, itni a ■ dr>Di J men and vc'tneo. I could cot have endured for a single irybt what I sav. them suffer for a week in the roadstead of Bj'.- rnt. Thousands upon thousands arc now on their Way, swaruting in like manner to have then Lister iu Jerusalem. Toe spirit of tho Crus.Jers, then, I sec, is not cxtinc'; it is on ly ihaugeu—and the world is ju-t as full of earnest men as ever. The United States, too, distant as we are, have their earnest men bore !-o. The missionary ground that the Episco palian;? and Prcabytemu# have described as hopeless, the Seventh Day Baptists aud Cnup boiiitti? of America have taken vp.

There is probably uo place ou earth where "religion," or rather sect, is ho bitter, so persecuting as here Tiie sects of Christians hero all, more or less, hate each other. The spirit of Christ, as i have before illustrated in ibe ma'tor of tho Holy Sepul chre, bui little exists anions the population of the city. Even tse Turk here is a little more fanatic than elsewhere. I only peeped into au alley leading to the Mosque of Orn tr —where none bat M •slems are allowed to enter, and even children, auiong th.m a boy with a big stick, <••?! eeially noted, approached tnc to boat off tb dog, Christian. 1 was in company with a | arty cf ladies on Via Dolorosa—'ocvr a street n; the Turks, tho etree; on which it is ssid, I- iri.-t w.s t:ken to be crucified, and :iie laiies were spit upon iY .oi ;lie windows, and had to shy • :F into the mideie and ea tiro eh er .-Mo of ti: sttcvi. iisa only revenge we bad was a heavy shower of Arabic, which one of t he ladies poured back upon the Turkish wo men peeping through the lattices of their win dows. i would have thrown stoace at tb m re gardless of the consequences, but was for hid den by my conductress, who told me that in the same street ouce, wheu on a horse, a whole bucket of water was thrown upoa her. Yet this lady is the daughter of a missionary here, who is sacrificing life and property to better the condition of tiio Moslem. THE BIBLE THE BEST GLIDE BOOK. The firjt of books ihat ODO longs to read and ra-read here is the Bible, and the Bible is, | or ought to be, in the Loose of everybody.— Ileatl if you will but learn the ponderous but valuable tomes of Robertsen, now, as I hare j said, the highest Biblical autbori'y in matters j of topography; read the late valuable work of Br. Barclay, of Ya., now here again with bis j very interesting and highly intelligent family, i Americans, among them Dr. Oiin and Rev. Mr. ! Spencer, have written the very best work-* upon ! Palestine and Syria. One of the best little i guide books and maps I have found is from the ' office of the Sunday School Union in PbiUdel ! phia. Read before you come here, and do not i be compelled as I am to work half tho night to ! study up history the next day. Tho Bible above all, however, is the best history—the . hand book, the great guide book—what "Mur ray" is elsewhere, und the Bible besides. Here | is the spot to expound, to explain, and to thor | ougbly comprehend it, its metaphors, its para | iilvs, its allusions. 1 know and see now tuat I ; shall hereafter rau the good book with an uu j derstanding and interest 1 never could have j had before. Palestine, the Holy Land, its au ! cieut people, are to everybody in name so fa ; miliar, that, we uot only copy its towns and cit ies for our towns and cuius— its Canaan tor our I Canaan, its Sharon for our Sharon, &c., —its I Marys, its ituths, its Rachels, iis Johns and James —and its Proverbs, too, become our | proverbs, as from "Dun to Beersheba, ' 'not jso very far by the way.) lam glad to say no i country sceuis to lake so much iuterest in Bib ; licul topography as our country. The host placo to see Jerusalem and the sur- I rounding country, is from tho Turkish minaret i that crowns the Mount of Olives, tor now the j Turks owu that mount, and in the centre of a | Turkish mosque enclosure, is by purchase the ! Chapel of the Church of the Ascension, where Jesus's footsteps arc shown in the rock as he i ascended up! Baksheesh—money—that magic word, is Syria aud Palestine, but particularly i in Palestine, carries you almost everywhere.— 1 Baksheesh, the first "word you learu, und the last to be forgotten, from the way it is imprint ed on your brain. "Baksheesh, Hadji," (money, Pilgrim,) "Baksheesh, Hadji"—l hear them so often, that they seem to be about the only words iu or about Jerusalem. Well, "Baksheesh" penetrates through the smoking atmosphere surrounding the piped and turbaned head even oi a Turk—and upon the inspiration ;of Baksheesh we went up the minaret, and ; looked from it far and wide upon the snrroucd iug couutry. Down there below are the val ley of Jehosaphat, the Valo of Hinnom, To phet, Gehenna, Alcaldaiua, the Brook of Ked roa, in which is not one drop of water—the Pool of SilaaiD, the Garden of Getbsemane, the Tombs >f the Prophets, the Tomb of the Vir gin Mary, the Grotto of Jeremiah, and a hun dred other places just as sacred in history and up there above are Scopus, the Hill of I'ivil Counsel, the Mount of Offence, etc. etc. 1 turn round, and !o! there arc the distant Mountains of Moab, the other side of the Jor- i dan, but seemingly near, very near—aud the Dead Sea, where are sunk Sodom and Gom.jr- : rah ; and there the ridge that conceals the fur ! famed Jordan— not, as the Mississippi, or the ' Indus, or the G >uge, a great, mighty, rolling river—but a river mofe famous than either. i ; SOr\J) tOVH CTO lOtXG ME*.

A Scotchman called at the house of lawyer Fletcher, of Yf., to consul: the legal gentleman professionally: "Is the squeer at home inquired he of the lawyer's lady, who opened the door at his sum mons. He was unswercd negatively. Disap pointment was now added to Scotia's eon; but after a moment's consideration, a new thought relieved him. Meblv yourself can give me the necessary information as the squeer—seem sa ye're arc his wife:'' Tbe Kind iudy expressed her willingness to do so, if cn learning the nature of the difficulty, she found it in i.er power; the other proceeded to state his case as follow?: "Spose ye was an auld white inear, and I ! should berry ye to gang to mill, with a grist on j yer back, and we should get no farther than ! fiat's hill, when all a: once, ye should back up, rear up, and pitch up, and kneel backwards, who'd pay for yer.

DEATH OF A BLACK SLAVE OWNER. —The Port Gibson (Miss.) Reveille gives the follow ing Dotioe of the death of Satah Holly, of that place: "The widow of Christopher Holly, a free wo man of color, was bunied yesterday. She died owning a thousand acres of good laud aud thir ty negroes. Her husband lived near tbe town many years, and was esteemed a gentleman.— Holly and his wife were as black as any of their slaves and alwavs conducted themselves well." I and J.—There are no two letters ia tbe manuscript alphabet of the English language, which occasiou so much trouble or cause so much miseonstruotion as the two letters, I and J, as many persous inadvertently write them. The rule for writing them properly, aDd which should be universally understood aud adopted, is to extend the J below :he line. If those who write I for J knew, how it sometimes puzalcs printers, they would remember the above sug gestions. 'When we're married Jullia, you'll see how I'll drive to the 'Castle' iu a carnage.'
