Answer Me, Burning Stars.
Answer me. answer me, burning stars of night,
Where, where is the spirit gone,
Where, where is the spirit gone;
Tiiat's past the reach of human sigh!,
E'en as a breeze has flown ?
E'en as a breeze has flown?
And the stars answered me, " We roll, we roll,
In iight and power on high ;
But of the never-dying soul.
Ask things that cannot die!
But of the never-dying soul,
Ask things that cannot die!"
Speak, then, thou voice of God within,

A FISHING FROLIC
ON LIKE PONTCHARTJvAIN,
RY A TRA'VEI.LISC NATCRAMST.
(The following was related to me by a
gentleman of unquestioned voracity, now
a merchant in New Orleans. 1 have made
no alteration except in the language, and
but little in ihat, except to soften some ol
the author's expletive?.)
It was in the spring of 18 13, that 1
■was taking a tour through Louisiana and
Texas, for the restoration of my health.
My tour was a comprehensive one and
included various excursions through cane
brake and mountain, as fancy and a pro
clivity for a hunter's life impelled me.
During one of the cane-brake expeditions
4 in search of burr,' the following adventure
did truly happen, as a certain deep scar up
on my propria persona can laithfullv
111 tc't.
I had been several hours passing the
trail of an 4 old he,' in company with
several hunters, whose loveol * ban* meat
so far exceeded their courtesy to strangers,
that an hour had elapsed since 1 heard the
veil of their dogs far down the lake, al
though they knew that my horse had
thrown me ofl and taken bimselj oli at
precisely one and the same time.
Being thus alone on the north side of
the old Pontchartrain, and seeing every
probability of my remaining there until
next morning, I took it fur a good time to
catch ti?h, and rigged up my hooks for
the purpose. These Southern lakes a?
every body knows, have muddy shelving
hanks, the last places in the world to look
for fish, seeing that the blindest fishes in
creation will see the sportsman long be
fore his eve can catch a glimpse ol them.
This peculiarity made it necessary to seek
out a leaning tree or some such conve
nience, from which he may reach water
deep enough to cast a hook, and il said
leaning tree possess a bushy top, in
which the fisherman can conceal himscll,
so much the better for his purpose.
Alter a little search, I found ouc exactly
to inv tasie. It was an ancient beach,
that had ventured to grow so near the edge
of the bank that a very slight cave-in uti
derminded its centre of gravity and bent it
in a profound bow far over the lake.
With my tackle always in my pocket -
for such purposes, and a couple of frog,
that 1 had fortunately caught napping,
1 crept along the trunk out —out —out —
out to the very extremity, at least 60 feet
hum the bank, and seated* mysell tor work.
It was a beautiful evening. The deep
green of the spring leaves in that intense
region, always reminds ine ot looking
through a thick pair ol green glasses, and
at that particular hour of the day the
color seemed even deeper than usual; in
fact it was so green as to appear absolutely
dark ; as washerwomen put indigo into
their soap-suds until our shirt-bosoms get
white enough to appear blue.
1 had scarcely got my hook bailed, be
fore the birds, frightened at first by my ap
proach, returned and after a little-- proudish
twisting of their necks lo look for ate.
B®io?maa> xjtjsi flt&BSflisiinßiiS) wx tmrnssEWTXa ssntmsssss amssswsa
resumed sport and labor as if nothing had
happened.
An immense heron, whose legs dangled
under him as he flew, like a New York
clerk's at his counting stool, settled on a
dead bough half-way up an ancient cy
press, a hundred feet up the lake. A
gang of parroquets screamed backwards
and forwards, their garish plumage glit
tering in the evening rays with green and
gold, and their undrilled voices reminding
me of the concert 1 had listened to the
week before at Madame Loaceveau's semi
nary in ihe town of Franklin. A mater
nal duck led her tender fleet directly under
me as I sat silent, not suspecting anything
of my presence. A flock of raven-winged
—but 1 forgot that 1 was to give a fishing
frolic and not a dissertation of birds. To
return then. 1 had seated myself far
out over the water, and cast my hook for
whatever might he swimming below me.
And a great time I had among the ichthy
ologiu you may be sure. Such a conster
nation in the finny tribes had not been
heard of within the memory of the, eldest
inhabitant. Gar, goggle-eyes, brim (nn
gliee bream ?) white perch, trout and cat,
fairly wearied my arms as they seized nr.
baits and exercised their various evolu
tions ere they yielded to till my pouch,
or he cut up for temptations to the rest.
In my excitement 1 scarcely observed
that it was growing late, and tiie sun had
gone below the trees and the stupid heron
flown off toward the east, before 1 with
drew my hook and folded my line to
depart.
During my sport, I had noticed that the
beach top in which 1 was suspended had
occasionally settled nearer the water, but
it was not until now that 1 observed the
cause.
My weight, so far out from the fulcrum,
had been too much for the weakened roots,
and the bank being composed of very fri
able soil, hud given way, untii some thirty
or forty feet of the trunk was under water.
Now 1 never was a good hand to walk
a log. \s ruuch as 1 have hunted and
fished over torrent and ravine, 1 ahvavs
took live 4 safer way about,' in preference
to 4 the director way across,' and though 1
had walked the huge beach trunk with
some boldness, when unloaded and out of
water, it was quite a different aliuir, now
that portiotts of it were three feet sub
merged and I was shouldering fifty pounds
of fish meat. Standing long enough in
suspense to perceive that every moment
made the case worse, by increasing the
gloom and my trepidation, 1 decided to
hang up my fish until morning, and make
the attempt. No sooner said than done.
With my arms extended, like the Ravels
on their light rope, but not half so grace
fully, 1 commenced feeling for the log with
my feet, and advanced landward at the
rate of twelve inches to the minute. But
even this progress was suddenly checked,
for, as I furtively stole a glance to the
shore, to measure the distance, I was
chilled lo horror to observe directly be
tween iuc and the bank, tiie head of an
enormous alligator, raised out of water and
with its little wicked eyes turned full upon
me ! I saw it all in a minute. The mon
ster had been watching me during the
whole process of my 'fishing, and had
crept up so cautiously between me and my
only means ol exit, that, in my excitement
1 had not remarked it, and here 1 was,
fifty feet from shorc.guarded by an alligator!
In iny first surprise, my feet slipped
upon the wet bark of this tree, and i be
came completely wet in my struggle to re
gain my footing. You may be sure, dear
reader, that 1 scrambled actively back to
where the large limbs gave me shelter, and
pen:!ting myself above my now neglected
string ol fish, I took a survey of my situ
ation. While doing so, and wringing the
water from my clothes, my horror was in
creased by observing that the monster had
drawn his full length upon the log, ami
was slowly crawling towards me. As
the black knobs upon his back rose al
ternately above the water, in his motions,
I could get a lull view of him even lo the
last joint ol his tail. Nor was the view at
all calculated to increase my confidence.
It was quite fifteen feet in length, and of
lull size. 11 is body, frvJui neck lo tail,
was reeked witlf slime gathered from the
lake bottom in which he lived.
llts mouth, as it partly opened with ev
ery step he took upon the log in his sham
bling awkward gait, revealed rows of teeth
such as old hunters covet for powder
charges. As he breathed with a sighing
sound, 1 fancied thai his breath was load
ed v illi a carrion smell that turned my
stomach. While making these discover
ies, the. hideous thing had approached to
tiiat point where the limbs commenced to
leave the trunk, and so great was his
weight added to mine, that I sensibly felt
the whole tree top sinking with it, anil had
I not been confident that the limbs rested
upon the bottom of the lake, I should have
given myself up at once as lost.
As it was, I was constrained to leave my
post and seek a larger limb some ten feet
further out, upon which I climbed and tied
myself by iny handkerchief and suspen
ders, in the very top. My villainous
sentinel crawled a lew steps further, and
reaching my string of fish, deliberately
devoured them at a gulp. How I wished
they might choke him.
FRIDAY EVEAIACI, APRIL 2, 1852.
After performing this feat, he spread
himself at length upon the trunk, and fix
ing his eyes upon me, seemed to say, be
in no hurry, good fellow—l have had a
snack now, and can wait awhile longer for
you ! As he lay thus expectant, how 1
cursed my stars that I had not even a
pistol with which to salute him.
There they were in plain sight, mv
trusty rifle leaning in the fork of a dog
wood bush upon the bank, my rifle pistols,
gooil at twenty paces, hanging bv their
side—one shot to bore out this rascal's red
; eye, if 1 had to die the next minute after
wards.
But all this was sheer nonsense, as 1
was very politely informed by a wide
yawn, which the alligator made in my
v ery face. The fact was farther corrobo
rated by a large owl, which took up its
station close by, and commenced the most
dismal hooting that ever 1 had thought an
owl capable of making.
All tiiis was discouraging enough it will
seem to you, good neighbor, but you are
mistaken if you think so ; it was not
enough, by a great deal, for before the
-owl had finished the first chapter of his
melancholy tale, a splash in the water
called my attention to the fact that another
reptile, •* of same sort" with my sentinel la
alcr/u, had approached, allured bv some
instinctive notion ol prev, and was swim
ming about the tree top. as if to find out
the most convenient mode of entrance.
Now, 1 beg that the reader will not,
misunderstand my state of mind at that
particular time. It is no uncommon thing
to hear a man laugh at the ftiry of a tem
pest after it is over, who trembled like a
u hipped hound, as the trees crashed around
him. 1 have seen rascals making sport of
rev iva! meetings, who during their influence
were prostrate in the straw, screaming
with all the terrors of an awakened con
science, and moving heaven and earth lor
pardon. And although, as 1 sit here near
by my peaceful fireside, with lit tie pus si/
pulling and hauling and singing at pa's
knee, 1 can write in this jocular strain
concerning that night's horrors, vet had
you stood just then by that beech tree
root, and looked out about eighty feet over
tiie lake, you would have seen as fright
ened a specimen of hutnanilv as ever tied
himself by suspenders and handkerchief
to keep from tailing "into an alligator's
mouth. 1 vow, that 1 did not sleep for a
month afterwards, hut ! was solving the
physiological problem as to the tmderest
place whereat to reach an alligator's vitals.
Vsk old Chambers, at whose house 1
boarded during that time win lo my wounds
were healing—hut 1 anticipate.
1 can scarcely be supposed to remember
all tin: events of that protracted night.
Let alligator No. 2 tell us how many
times he swam around the tree top, and
took telescopic views at me, as il "strietlv
to define my position."
Enquire of alligator No. 1, how often
he raised himself upon his feet, as I made
the slightest motion, and seemed to offer
the red lining of his mouth, as if to catch
me in mv contemplated fall. Ask that
most doleful of owls, how many times he
commenced the same subject, as il he
could not open it to his satisfaction, and
alter t( n minutes practice dropped it with
a hoot ol despair.
Apply to those moccasin snakes, whose
cold slimy skins would ever and anon
chill mine, as they squirmed through the
tree top. Igh ! how 1 shudder when
I think of them.
That night was a polar night in length
—a Tartarean in horrors, it vividly re
called Christian's journey in Pilgrim's
Progress ; where he is depictured as pass
ing through the valley of the shadow of
death.
Not a moon would rise, not a star shine.
Heavv banks of clouds moved up from the
South, and shadowed the lake's surface.
It rained a smart shower. Then it ceased,
and the wind changed into the north, and it
became cold, very cold for a spring night
in Louisiana, and as 1 hung in that beech
bough, ! shivered to the back hone under its
influence. But stil! 1 knew by the splash
ing that No. 2 was not weary in its efforts,
and by an occasional yawn, that No. !
slumbered not at his post, while the abom
inable owl, to my imagination the most
terrible of the three, had found a dry hol
low, and added a more dismal tune to his
most dismal song.
Morning got awake at last, and nature's
protracled sleep ended. The day-birds
lievv off their perches, and. to my great
delight, a gang of jay birds attacked the
owl, and drove him clear across the lake.
Some deer came down near by, to drink,
and although they soon scented ine and j
tied, vet it was a salilaction even to see
tlu'm there. The sun came up gloriously,
and warmed and dried me, leaving room 1
for comfort to enter mv chilled carcase.
Alligator No. 2, got tired of his cireumant
bulaiions, and left for parts unknown,
l ite moccasins avoided ine greatly to my
satisfaction, who always had a horror ol
snakes, and especially of that sort.
The duck sailed by with her gentle
j fleet, and plumed her feathers leisurely,
i without ever observing that Iter toilette
I was witnessed by any but the tenderlings,
who picked playfully at every waste
feather she threw oil". The long-legged
heron came back to the very same cypress,
and commenced his day's fishing; in
short, there was nothing to hinder a scene
painter from making a very good thing of
it, except a certain gentlemen perched in a
beech tree top, and fondly guarded by an
alligator !
A es, there I was, and ihere I staid, until
j long alter noon that day, when the sentinel,
. to my great joy, slipped off and sullenly
sunk to the bottom. Aon may be sure
thai I lost no time in lowering myself from
my post, but my limbs were benumbed,
and it was with great difficulty that 1
i could move at all. As it turned out, how
ever, it would hate been better for me to
have made still more delav, for as I slowly
and painfully felt my way along the trunk,
and before 1 was within twenty feet of
shore, 1 heard by the loud splashing that
my enemy had seen my movement, and
was after me again.
Did you ever, while in a real night
marc, imagine yourself to be chased by a
monster and feel so shackled that, for the
lite ot you, you couldn't get away from
him ! Il so, you can realize what despe
rate efforts I made to use mv muscles,
stiffened by* so long confinement and the
cold 1 had experienced. 1 plunged, 1
spattered the water with my hands like an
ostrich fanning the air with its wings ; 1
stumbled and slipped upon the smooth
bark, and only kept my balance with lite
greatest difficulty. All this time 1 heard
the broad paddles of my pursuer drawing
momentarily nearer and nearer, as he tore
through the mud and water to intercept
ine before 1 reached the bank. Not to be
tedious, il was a drawn race, the parties
coming in neck-and-neek. I fell down
just as I got to the root of the beech, but
my friend kindly helped me up with a
wipe ot his tail, intended to break mv
back.
Had it hit a few inches higher it would
have succeeded ; as it was, it hoisted me
clear over the huge root, over the bank,
and over, 1 dare not sav how much ground
besides, until my fall was broken by a
sturdy holly-bush, whose points penetrated
my flesh and lore my clothe? in a hundred
places.
Thus I was saved, though sorely bruised
and out of breath. My hip was sprained
so that 1 kept the house for several weeks,
and to this day a deep cicatrix gives
token of the force of that alligator's blow.
1 must not forget to add, however, that
1 was not altogether uurevenged even upon
him ; for my dear reader, should you ever
visit the place of my adventure and see
anything of a reptile about fifteen lect
long, (or by this time possibly a little more)
whose right eye has been knocked out by
a rifle ball, set him down as the identical
individual who so cleverly broke up vour
friend's fishing frolic.
SKarCciiMural,
From tin* Oenesee Farmer.
Spring and Summer Work.
The intelligent farmer will have all his
plans of culture for the succt cding year
formed in his mind the autumn before
hand. During tiie winter he will reflect
upon them, and use every means to in
ert'...-e his knowledge, >o that he may per
form all his operations with facility and
economy. He will also make and repair
many of his implements, am! get every
thing ready for the spring, so that when it
comes he can avaiNumsell of the first op
portunity to commence operations. The
shortness of our working season renders
tiiis forecast doubly necessary and advan
tageous.
Jlarleij is a crop which lias paid very
well for the last lew years, and the de
mand is increasing, so that we may expect
good prices for the inline. Light, dry,
sandy loam, is best adapted for this crop.
If the soil is rich, it may be sown after
wheat; the earlier the better, providing
the soil is dry enough to work well. Two
bushels of seed to the acre is usually sown,
though we think two and a half and in
some instances thtec bushels is none too
much. The laud should always be rolled
alter it is sown. If not in good condition
before, it will do to roll when the barley is
an inch or two out of the ground. To in
sure a good crop it should always he sown
tiie first or second week in April.
Outs should be sown as soon after the
Bailey as possible. They will grow oil
almost any kind of soil, from a still clay
to a black muck. The heavy land, how
ever, yields the heaviest weight per bushel.
Two lo three bushels of seed are gener
ally sown per acre. Sixty bushels pet
acre is a good crop, and is not often,
though sometimes obtained. There is an
opinion in some districts, that oats are an
exhausting crop, and that wheal does not
do well after them. V> e are inclined to
to think this view erroneous. They
should be cradled and tied up, as they are
apt to shed much if loose. One and a half
bushel of oats, half a bushel of barley,
and a peek of gray peas, are olten sown
together per acre in England. The pro
duce is very large, and when ground, forms
an excellent feed for horses in the spring.
Indian Corn is, of all the cereals, best
adapted to this climate ; and on the rich
lands of the great west, is raised in large
quantities with little labor, excepting plant
ing and harvesting, In New York and
the eastern States, however, it is absolute
ly necessary to have the soil well and
deeply pulverized, and in many instances
well manured, and also handhoed twice or
thrice, to insure a large crop. In this dis
trict it is usually planted about the middle
of May. It should he marked eacli way,
three leet apart, as it is then planted straight
er, and is much easier horse hoed, plowed,
<Ye. It delights in a light, gravelly loam,
and does best in an old meadow or clover
lay plowed the previous fall. Barn manure
is always gratefully received and handsome
ly remunerated. Four to six grains are
planted in a hill. \\ hen the corn is up
about an inch it should he dressed with
plaster—a good handfull to a hill. Its
good effect is speedily visible. Wood
ashes applied in the same vvav is often at
tended with Mud profit.
/ } olafoes, nil within the last few years,
were considered one of the safest crops—
never being attacked by insects or injured
by disease ; but the potato disease, which
has extended to all countries, defies con
jecture to account for it, and science to
provide a remedy. A well drained, light,
black soil, if well manured, is best calcu
lated to produce a heavy crop. But a
dry, light, sandy soil, now yields tiie sound
est and most palatable potatoes. Sttbsoil
ing for this crop lias been attended with
great benefit. Good, short hog manure,
is the best for potatoes. A handful ol
plaster on the hill, as they just break the
soil, is also beneficial ; and unleached
wood ashes are of great benefit. Two
hundred bushels per acre ought always to
be raised. They should be planted about
the first ol May. Il planted in hills they
are more easily kept clean ; though plant
ed m rows about thirty inches apart and
twelve incites between the setts, 300 lbs.
ol Peruvian guano sown broadcast per
acre and plowed in, lias been attended with
very good results of the crop.
Clover. —About ten pounds of clean clo
ver is usally sown per acre, in April, on
the wheat lields. it should always lie
rolled or harrowed in, if possible. In
England, clover is usually sown with the
barley crop, lied clover, as found bv ex
perience, cannot there be grown oftener
titan once in eight years on the same soil;
for if sown once in four years, the land
soon becomes " clover sick." Twenty
pounds ol sect! per acre is often sown bv
good fanners, in hopes of securing a crop.
\\ c have seen much heavier clover grown
here by the use of plaster, than we ever
saw in England under the most favorable
conditions of soil and manuring. Clover
is often much injured by keeping sheep on
it too late in the fall and too earlv in the
spring ; and it is better not to let them run
on it at all in tiie tall if it can be avoided.
We would never let land lie with clover
more than two years, as alter two years
there is little extension of root, and the
clover is apt lo die out and give place to
timothy and red top, which we think as
exhausting to the soil as wheat, and should
never be sown exeept on low land not well
adapted for wheat. It is to the extension
of the quantity e! land sown with clover
and the adoption of root culture, that we
confidently look for great improvement in
our agriculture and increased profits of lite
farmers, and, as a consequence, of the en
tire community.

The Crop of Oats.
Fkiexd Editor ;—Notwithstanding the
mail) well written articles on ihe culture
of other grains, that of oats appears to re
ceive the cold shoulder almost entirely,
hi a volume of the 'Cultivator,' now be
fore me, I find but one article, meagre in
its details on the subject, although there
are more bushels raised and consumed in
this section of the country than of anv
other grain, and at the present price, and
yield, almost as profitable as any crop wc
grow.
It appears to be the practice with most
farmers lo plant oats like the Irishman
said they did buckwheat in this country,
•where nothing else will grow.' Anv
kind of land and culture is good enough,
and it is astonishing, with ail this negli
gence that we get as much as wc do.
\\ hile the beneficial effects of various
kinds of manures arc tried on wheat,corn,
etc., and ample remunerative crops arc
produced; whoever heard ol such a mon
strosity in fanning as manuring Oats
Yet tite New York Agricul.tiral Society
records the fact that 12<> bushels of oats
jier acre have been p;o luccd, with tiie aid
of a little manure.
On the 28th of February, 1851, 1 com
menced ploughing for oats, six inches i
deep, and finished on the 11th of March ;
harrowed the ground, with a heavy harrow,
on the 27th, and sowed two bushels of well
cleaned seed per acre on the 28th and
harrowed and rolled it in. The oats grew
well and yielded 55 bushels per acre,
weighing 31 lb. per bushel. Notwith
standing the uncommon dryness of the
season, this was the heaviest crop ! have
ever grown on the ground, and 1 attribute
it to the ground being plowed early, and
becoming sufficiently packed for tiie oats
to take root immediately.
1 have sowed front 1 ! bushels to 3 per
acre, and find that as much oats can be
raised from two bushels sowed as from
anv other quantity. It sown too thick,
