WE'LL MEET AtiAlX.
We'll meet again' how sweet the word
How soothing in its sound !
lake strains of far-off music heard
•jr. some euchanted ground.
We'll meet again ! thus friendship speaks,
When those, most dear depart.
Ami in the pleasing prospect seeks
A balm for the bleeding heart.
We'll meet again, the lover cries ;
And oh, what thought but this
Cau e'er assuage the agonies
Of the last parting kiss ?
We'll meet again, arc accents heard
iipside the dying bed,
When all the soul by grief is stirr U
And bitter tears are shed.
We'll meet again, are words that cheer
While bending o'er the tomb :
For oh ! that hope, so bright and dear,
Can pierce its deepest gloom.
We'll meet again ! then cease to weep.
Whatever ma* divide ;
Vot time nor d&ilh can always
The loved of/c s from our si
For in the mansions
Secure trom care *f t
In Heaven's serene and endless rest
We'll surely meet again.

From M forthcoming volumt of Tnn*wiM of the N
\ State A jriculiural Society.
The importance of this crop to the farm
er has jus: begun f,e appreciated, and as
it has a few peculiarities in its culture, 1
shall attempt to give the results of my ex
perience for the last sixteen years. I have
oeen extensively engaged in the raising
►adad managing of (lax ; and have drawn the
penelowing conclusions : Fast, the soil best
rued to its culture is a rich loaui ; hut
p—-MJkJpcaefd well on almost any soil,
except sand, provided it be high or hilly
and; it will not grow well 011 low lands,
in borders of streams or rivers ; it would
tot probably succeed ot'tener than once in
en years, for causes I shall presently state.
The seed being -mail, it must not be placed
deep in the ground. 1 would recommend
the ground to he well ploughed, and thor-
Cgighly pulverized by dragging before sow
ing, and very lightly dragged or bushed in,
Rafter sowing. The earlier sown in the
isprsng after die ground is fit to work, the
l>etter. One bushel of seed to the acre is
ohe best amount of seed to insure a good
V„.hfr- "fy 1 and lint ;if a loss quantity
*'ar seed >own, the quantity of seed
r ° r * ou!d iticreased, but the quantity of
l,W] ~t wo; :be lessened, and if a little more
J soed be t^ie nI wou M be increased
hut the would be lessened. On low
i uids the fi sX ' s subject to mildew or rust,
which i ci iW ° kinds, 'b e red rust, which
desuov- beta seed and lint, and the black.
- rjJ5 , which affects the su m of the flax
iud destrovs the lint; this is the great en
omv of dix growing ; but on elevated or
hillv lands it is very seldom attacked with
tiiher of these kinds of rust.
Flax succeeds the best alter corn or
potatoes, or such crops as have been oul
vatet! the previous year so as to destroy
'eds. The ground cannot be too rich,
it must not be made so by manuring
v fly grounds with manures filled with
T.eds ot" grass and weeds, which would
-pring vf and destroy the crop. There
fore I would not recommend manuring the
flax ground the season it is sown, except
wtfh the following stimulants and ma- ;
Hures, to wit: to each acre of land apply
one bushel of plaster of Paris, one bushel
of fine Western salt, one bushel of wood
ashes, one bushel of slacked litne, of
course varying these manures accord
ing to the nature of your soil. If it
be a light loam, mixed with gravel or sand,
leave out the lime ; if it be tenacious soil
bordering on flav, or nearly so, be sure
and put on \)jt lime, The salt and ashes
mentioned are not only ma
nures, but a preventive to the operations
of the worm, which arc often very de
structive to flax. Plaster is a strong stim
ulant, and is invaluable on dry soils, by its
attractive principles for moisture. The
expense of getting in a crop of flax is
about the same as oats. The expense of
jhand pulling usually is 83 per acre ; thresh
big the seed and cleaning, *1 per acre ;
rotting and taking it up, 81 per acre ;
and dressing at the mills from 82 to 82 50
per hundred pounds of flax. The aver
\ age quantity of seed raised is eight bushels
\ per acre, and the average quantity of flax,
I 250 lbs. per acre ; although this has frc
■quently been more than doubled both in
I seed and lint. The average price of seed
is $1 25 per bushel, and average-price of
lint, 9J- cts. per pound.
In 1817, I raised sixteen acres of flax,
producing a little over 8800 as gross re
ceipts. From my book of that year, I
copy the following results of one acre, of
about the average of the field. Weight of
-lax and seed before threshing 2,8 18 lbs. ;
weight of flax after it was dew rotted,
2,00b lbs. ; weight of lint when dressed,
-if 18 lbs. ; quantity of clean seed, 10 bush
■els and one pint; and 1 j bushels of yel
low seed.

WATER ROT TING. — Then are twouicth
-Otis oi rotting flax, one by spreading it
thinly and evenly on our meadows, and is
* tt&i '' f V fo ' l ' u S* 18 considered sufii
tmlil en 'ly r °t d when, by rubbing the stern
it, breaking it with the hand, the hurl or
%ut easily separates from the woody por
. tion of the stern. This ie the common
process, and requires hut little judgement
to do it properly. The other method is,
ay immersing it in water.
i h; e been ofler> if 25 p'-r cent. on the
pres. fit price or dew roited flax Jo* water
rotted. and i'- -kf d, what better is
water rotted flax than dew rotted . In
answer I state that many articles manu
factured from flax are required by govern- j
ntem to be made from water rotted flax or
hemp, and that the cloth and twines thus j
manufactured will withstand m warm ch
mates the mildew or rotting, which dew j
rotted cloth is subject to. I
Of course all flax, before being im
mersed in water, must be well b ° u " l n |" j
bundles with strong bands; the j
important, but it very large, fJ rrop
heavy handling ^ e^ wi ; n d ,hanany |
I consider less cxhaus g the cmpg
other cereal if 80 „-„ in succession,
do not succeet „ uccee d better after flax
but all it is my favorite crop
l,ia ? * ,own in grass seeds, and I have
imiformly h"d seed take better after this j
rr „p than after any other.
UOOI.LEAS A\D FIRH.
Manv persons suppose that the best \v a\
to prevent moths from getting into woolens
or furs, is occasionally through the summer
to hang these articles in the sun and rain.
This is a great mistake, as it is by such
exposure that the moths are most likely to
get into them. On the contrary, in the
spring, when the season is over for furs
and woolens, they should be well shaken
and brushed, ami then wrapped tightly in
linen, laying among them lumps of cam
phor ; handful of fre*di hops ; cedar shav
ings, and above all fat pine wood shavings,
all of which are preventatives to moths ;
the camphor is by far the best for furs.
Ml woolens, &C., should he kept during
the summer unopened, in dark drv piinv-s,
such as drawers or large chests. Cedar
presses arc preferable to all others for
keeping clothes or other woolen articles.
Hair trunks rarely fail to introduce moths.
The month of June is the best time to
put away flannels.

NATIONAL TUMI.
A certain Cure for Ague. Fever,
and Dyspepsia,
TV our summer and fall months many sections four
t- country are prostrated by EILLIOUS FEV EB and
AGUE and FEVER.—It has been our particular etudy to
find out some remedy to slop this dreadful scourge, and
think, in this TONIC we have effected this great object
It is also we think the very best remedy in Dyspepsia,
and if our dire-tions are followed, will not fail to effect
a cure
In a letter dated, May 03d, ISI9, our Agent, Mr. Elms
P.atib, of Wrightsville, York county, Pa , says I have
never known any remedy for Fiver and Ague equal to
your invaluable National Tonic. It has given universal
satisfaction, and has cured caes of Ague of years stand
in". and after the failure of all other medicines made use
of. Mr. Henry Beveraon, of the same place, says in his
certificate, dated 23d March, 1649, ' I applied to a number
of Physicians, and also used a variety of the most popu
lar Agftc Mixtures at different times, but all without the
!• ired effect; no permanent cure having been afforded.
I was at length induced, at the recommendation of your
worthy Agent at this place, to try a bottle of your Na
tional Tonic, and to my great satisfaction,before I had
used half of it, I felt completely cured, though 1 contin
ued the use of it till I had taken two bottles.' In a joint
certificate from Messrs. Miles Hoke, William Blackson,
i and James D. Brown, of the same place, they say—'Hav
ing tried nearly all the remedies within our reach with
out success, tve at last purchased some of your JYafieaai
77.me, which has completely cured us We, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it to the notice of all persons af
fl./ ted with that leirible disease as the best remedy yet
discovered.'

HARRIS, TURNER <V HALE S
Compound Syrup of Spigelia
or Vegetable Vermifuge,
The most effectual, the safest, pleasanttst
and most convenient Worm Medicine
ever offered to the public.
IPHE SFIGELIA, says a work of highest authority,
-tanisat ththcad of the lut of -1-nthclmintics or tVerm
Medicines. It is adapted to aw ider range of cases, and
to a greater variety of constitutions and states of the
constitution, than any other. But prepared as it com
monly is, in the form of tea, it can seldom be given to
children in sufficient doses. In Harris, Turner Ac. Hale's
Compound Syrup, it is so concentrated that the dose is
very small, so-combined as to ensure a purgative opera
tion, and so palatable as to be taken, not only with ease,
but with positive pleasure.
The precise composition of this syrup and the mode of
preparing it, are the result of a series of experiments
continued for year* Before offering it for sale, it was
subjected to the test of experience in the hands of emi
nentpbvKiciane, in Philadelphia and elsewhere, who have j
recommended it in the highest terms, and still employ it
in their practice In addition to this evidence, of its mer
its, we offer the following, selected from a number of un- ;
solicited testimonials.
1-t A distinguished physician of Virginia, of much
experience, writes of it thus:
"1 should have written before this, but felt disposed
first to try the efficacy of your Vermifuge. 1 have used
nior" than half the quantity received,and tlie experiment
ha* been most successful. / really belttre that it posses
ses advantage: over any other Vermifuge I have ever usfd.
Independent of the smallness of the dose, and the plea
santness of the syrup (great advantages in do-on? chil
dren) the advantage of administering it under a variety
of circumstances, enhances its value; indeed there is
scarcely a condition of the system in which it may not
be administered. Yours, Ac."
2 i. A rvpectable physician of Lebanon county, in this
stale, writes
" I have been in the habitof preset thing your Compound
Syrup of Hpigeli-i lot some time past, and have found it
an excellent worm medicine, particularly for children.—
Please forward per hearer 2 doz. bottles. —Yours, Ac."
3d.—An intelligent merchant of Yuginia to whom we
had previously sold the syrup, writes :
"Since my return hotue, 1 find that your Syrup of Spi
gelin has come into general use in this neighborhood. We
have sold what we had on hand, and it gave such satis
faction that it is now called for evey day. You will please
put us up i or 6 dozen in a small package, and send to the
rare of W. Anderson A Co , Richmond, as soon as possi
ble, and forward the bill per mail—Yours, arc."
4th.—A respectable merchant of Ohio, on a late visit to
Philadelphia, stated, that some time since he had been ap
plied to by ti customer lor a via! of 's Ver
unl'uge for his ton. Not having the article ashed for, be
advised a trial of Harris, Turner Ac Hale's Compound
Syrup of Spigt'lm and gave linn a part of a bottle w hirh
was all that remained in the store. A day or two after
this the gentleman returning to the store, expressed his
surprise and delight at the effect of the Syrup, declaring
it had expelled 200 worms and entirely relieved his son.
The merchant added an expression of his great regret that
he had not had on hands a bottle of the Syrup at the time
when his own little daughter died, as he confidently be
lieved it would have saved her life.
Mb— A gentleman of Hudson. N. Y., having sent a bot
tie of Harris. Turnrr A Hale's Compound Syrup of Spr
gel la. to a young friend who bad tried in vain a great num
ber ot worm medicines, wines.that his friend was imme
diately relieved ; the words of lite patient were: "I: took
ever) worm out my body "

CHAS. ROBINSON, Esq., Eaeton, M<L, in a letter to DR
Jackson, January 9, 1650, said—
" My wife and myself have recetved more benefit from
i your medicine than any other we have ever taken for THE
Dyspepsia and Liver disease. 7 '
"THE TENTH LEGION," published at Woodstock, Va ,
January iy, 1850, said—
"A GREAT MEDICINE."
" We have uniformly refrained from recommending to
the public any of the various Patent Medicines of the
day, unless thoroughly convinced of their value. Among
those we consider worthy of notice is the Gei-man Bitters,
invented by Dr. Huofi-intl, and prepared by Dr Jackson,
in Philadelphia One instance in particular, in which the
•uptyi r virtues of this medicine has been tested, has fal
len under our observation. During the last summer, a
son of MR. ABRAHAM GRADILU, of this county, was very
seriously afflicted with Liver Complaint, and afier trying
in vain various remedies, he purchased a bottle of the
Bitters, and after using it, was so much relieved of his
distressing malady, that he procured another bottle, and
is restored entirely to health."

FROM 44 Titu WELDOJC HERALD," published at Welden,
N". C-, January 24. 1050, which said—
" PATENT MEDICINES."
" It is very seldom that we make any allusion to Patent
Medicines, either approving or otherwise. Unfortunately
for the country, and for honest and conscientious inven
tors and venders oftbese medicines, the land is becoming
flooded with quack preparations, that are made alone for
profit and are fit not even for" the dogs. In this state of
things it is hard to tell which are, and which are not worth
having. If a person gets an indifferent medicine the first
time he purchases, he is very apt to condemn the whole
of them and buy no more, and inventors must only blame
those of their number, (who ignorantly combine plain
medicines together for the purpose of making inonev.) for
the ill success which attends the efforts of the deserving."
" We believe Ur. C. M. Jackson's 4 Hoolland's German
Bitters' to be a most excellent medicine, and one that
should be highly popular in these days of Temperance;
for they are altogether Vegetable in their composition,
without one drop of .dlcoholic Spirits in them. This njeff""
icine is innocent, but strengthening in its effects, and rich
ly deserving of an unbounded popularity, which, when it
becomes known, it will, no doubt, fully enjoy."
JT" DOE M. M.NOAH said, in his 44 WEEKLY MESSXS
cEit," January 5,1550.
44 Dr. Ilocfiartd's German Bitters. —Here is a prepara
tion which the leading presses in the Union appear to be
unanimous in recommending, and the reason is obvious.
It is made alter a prescription furnished by one of the
most celebrated physicians of modern times—the late
l>r. Christopher Wilhelm Ifooflund, professor to the Uni
versity of Jena, private physician to the king of Prussia,
ami one ot the greatest medical writers Germany has ever
produced. Iletnras emphatically the enemy of humbug,
and therefore a medicine of which he was the inventor
and endorser may be confidently relied on. He specially
recommended it in Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Debility,
Vertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all
complaints arising from a disordered condition of the
stomach, the liver and the intestiues. Nine Philadelphia
papers express their conviction of its excellency, and sev
eral of the editors speak of its effects from their own indi
vidual experience. Under these circumstances, we fee!
warranted, not only in calling the attention of our readers
to the present proprietor's (Dr.C M. Jackson's) prepara
tion, but iu recommending the article to all afflicted."
MORE EVIDENCE.
The " PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY GAZETTE," the best
faintly newspaper published in the Uuited States. The
editor says of
Dr. HooflaiuTs German Bitters:
" It is seldom that we recommend what are termed Pat
ent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of our
readers ; and, therefore, w hen we recommend l)r. Hoof
land's Germau Bitters, we wish it to be distinctly under
stood that we are not speakingof the nostrums of the day,
that are noised about for a brief period andjhen forgotten
alter it has done its guilty race of mist hief,hut of a med
icine long established, universally prized, and which has
met the hearty approval of the faculty itself."
Evidence upon evidence haß been received
(like the foregoing) from all sections of the
Union, the lar-t three years, and the strongest
testimony in its favor, is, that there is more ot
it used in the practice of the regular Physi
cians ot Philadelphia than all other nostrums
combined, a fact that can easily be established,
and fully proving that a scientific preparation
will meet with their quiet approval when pre
sented even in this form.
That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint
and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt after using it
as directed. It acts specifically upon the stom
ach and liver; it i- preferable to calomel in ail
bilious diseases —the ctiect is immediate.
T hey can be administered to FEMALE or INFANT
with safety and reliable benefit, at any time.
BEWARE OP COUNTERFEITS.
This medicine lias attained that high charac
ter which is necessary for ail medicines to at
tain to induce counterfeiters to put forth a spu
rious article at the risk ot the lives of those
who are innocently deceived.
