Low she lies who bled oar eyes
Through many a sunny day:
She may not smile, she will nut rise-.-
The life hath passed away!
Yet there is a world of light beyond,
Where we neither die nor sleep;
She is there of whom our souls were fond--.
Then wherefore do we weep!
The heart is cold, whose thoughts were tokl
In each glance of her glad bright eye,
And she lies pale, who was so bright,
:She scarce seemed mace to die.
Yet we know that her soul is happy now,
Where the saints their calm watch keep:
That angels are crowning that fair young brow
Then wherefore do we weep ?
Her laughing voice made all rejoice,
Who caught the happy sound;
There was gladneos in her very step,
As it lightly touched the ground, - -
The echoes of voice and step are gone,
There is ailenee.will and deep :
Yet we know she sings by God'a bright throne
Then wherefore du we weep?
The cheek's pale tinge, the lids dark fringe,
That lies like a shadow there,
Were beautiful in the eyes of all—
And her glossy golden haw I.
But though that lid may never wake
From its dark and dreamless sleep,
She lh gone where young beams do not break—
Then wherefore du we weep?
That world of light with joy is bright,
This is a world of wo :
Shall we grieve that her soul bath taken flight,
Bemme we dwell below !
We will bury her under the mossy sod,
And one long bright tress we'll keep ;
We have only given her back to God
Ah! wherefore do we weep!

Plaster of Paris
We have often promised to give to the pub
lic our on a views of the value and of the oper
ation of plaster on our New England soils, but
have never yet had space to devote to the
subject.
Much has been written upon its chemical
qualities, as well as upon the surprising effects
of it when applied to certain soils. We pro
pose to take notice, in the tirst place of its ef
fects, and (ruin these. our premises, we may
then draw some general conclusions.
We believe it to be now generally conceded
that plaster. on certain soils, has no sensible
effect; but it is not so generally admitted that
it is beneficial tin ally such. Maily people who
have tried it on certain lands. and found nu ad
vantage in the use of it, are ready at. once to
condemn it in tufo, and to discredit all they
may have heard in its favor. They come to
conclusions too hastily. They have not pa
tience to Make repe,ited trials on soils differ
wally constituted,amUidcause they did not find
it to operate like coiniiimi barn-yard manure on
all kinds of soil, they 4 ,6astily pronounce judg
,...
inent against it.
It has been a common remark that plaster
did not operate well near the sea; bnt there are
exceptions to this theory. and we much doubt
whether the vicinity of salt water checks its
beneficial operation. We have very generally
found that our plaster had but little effect on
light, sandy plains, on low and wet grounds
or in seasons when the clouds always furnish
ed a sufficiency of moisture.
But on dry and heavy loams, on clayey
soils, and on gravely hills with a deep loam.
we have generally noticed the good effects of
plaster. Even on the banks of the Kennebec
river, where much of the soil is clayey, there
are fields where plaster would not pay the ex
pense of spreading. Yet we have seen fields
there brought directly from sterility into heavy
clover, merely by the application of two bush
els of plaster sown on the acre.
In the town of Framingham we have lands
on which plaster seems to have no effect.—
These are our plains. with a soil light and in
clining to sand. We have tried plaster on
other lauds in the same town, where it had
surprising effects; where
.two bushels spread
on an acre has doubled the quantity of feed for
two successsive years. This land lies at the
southwest part of the town, and the . Foil is a
heavy loam ; some parts of the pasture, which
is hilly land, are ledgy, and the ledges have
formerly been covered with moss. Plaster
here has the effect of bringing , tip clover
through the moss ; and the cattle are so hind
of this new growth, they often destroy all the
Moss in search of it.
It seems philosophical to suppose that plas
ter operates to most advantage in sods that are
naturally deficient of the article. We. cannot
rank it with the nianures: they are beilelivial
to all soils. -II probably acts as a stimulant to
other matter. It attracts moisture from the
atmosphere. and acts as a solvent on the sur
facfi of soils that are liable to be baked in the
sod and to crack open; hence it is more ser
viceable in dry seasons than in wet tones. It
Is better on the surface than underneath.
There. is much difference in the quality of
the article sold as plaster. We have often
thought that best which contained the trin,t
sulphur. IVe test it by boiling it in a kettle;
and, when hot, it will be so lislit it may be
stirred as easily as hasty•pudding. when only
half thickened. If it be good, it then emits a
strong flavor oh sulphur.
It has been objected that plaster tends, in
the end, to impoverish the soil ; that it sends
out a forced growth by its stimulating power,
and then. leaves the land poorer than before.—
The same objection has been made to ashes ;
that the, stimulated, but did no'. enrich.
We cannot agree to such doctrine. We
might as well say that showers of rain were
useless because they merely stimulate other
. matter. Anything which will produce a large
vegetable growth may readily be converted in
to manure, by meang of the plough. The
more we make our fields produce, the more
ability we have to go un increasing our crop
from year to year.
THE POTATO Flv.—A correspondent of the
Bangor Whig states that his potatoes, though
planted late, grew up rapidly, but that terrible
poison fly that killed all the tops and poisoned
all the bottoms last season, has con(neneed its
dreadful work. The farmer says he counted
223 places where the potatoc had been eaten
and here we may have an explanation of the
cause of the injurious potato rot. Understand
mg the cause, cannot a remedy he applied?—

. ED. EDLTiVATOD: Investigation would seem .
to have established that rust on wheat is a

as H beat ; and if such is the fact, any'speeula
lion on the subject would he useleis. But if
so. the rapid i ty of its growth. visible to the
naked eYe, is truly astonishing. and 'any
iti
fnrmation concerning that growth_ must prove
interesting to the community.
Four years ago, the writer had - on his farm
Tompkins county fifteen acres of beautiful
wheat. The field was the a dmiration of. at
Who saw it. It stood duet; on the ground—
was as tall 84 was desirable ; the beads were
large and long. and it preeented a rich and
beautiful appearance. It then promised from
thirty to thirty-five bushels to the acre of EIF.
• penor wheat. This wF•as the first week in July.
The weather then became very warm, and for
three days there were frequent light abowers.
with bright sunshine between them. In the
language of the farmer, it was cheap, oppres
sive u rather. Belore the commentement
of the rain, there was not the least appearance
m the rust Lyon any of the wheat. On the
contrary, it then promised one of the finest anti
heaviest NITs ever raised in this State; but
in less titan four days the whole field was
stricken with rust, and the result, was twelve
bushels to the acre of shrunken. instead of
front thirty to forty bushels of superior wheat
to the acre. The land on which it was grown
was a rich clay loam, wcili a small portion of
gravel, rather than moist than rotten% tse.
The lot is situate near a creek of pure spring
water, and during and immediately after
the rain a fog was discovered shove the
stream, and also above other streams in the
vicinity. All 'the wheat growing near those
those streams was much injured by the
the rust ; whereas that which grew half a mile
distant from them remained uninjured. Seven
acres of 'nine growing on new grotind, one
hundred and fifty rods from the stream, escap
ed entirely ; but it was sheltered by woodlands
on two sides, and the ground for the moat part
was dry.
The first crop on this fifteen acres gave
twenty eight bushels (wheat) to the acre; the
second, (oats) forty ; the third, (one hundred
bushels of ears ; the fourth, (oats) forty ; the
fifth, (wheat) after oats the seine season, twen
ty—all the finest in grain and no rust to cause
injury. It was then s)ocked down with clover
and summer followed the second season for the t
wheat which was so seriously injured by the
rust. If. as is maintained, rust is a plant,
wlvenre came it in three days ? It was not I
wafted by the wind. for there was none : it ;
being remarkably calm, damp. warm and sul- !
try. and the sun between the showers shining I
bright. But if it be a plant,ifor its growth, so
as to injure wheat, it requires calm, damp.
warm weather, and such weather. most occur I
when the wheat is in the milk, or the grain ,
soft. Some. of our observing farmers say that
if the rain is accompanied by wind, the rust
does not injure the wheal.
My belief is that the rust plant or fungus.
whatever it may be, always exists on the stalk
of the wheat, but that its growth is not such as
to injure the plant unless warm weather and
moisture unite at a particular period during the
• growth of the plant. and that prior to that pe
riod it is not visible to the naked eye ; alsoohat
during seasons unfavorable for its production it
does not attain maturity. If, for example, the
grain has passed the milky state, and has he-
Come in a degree hard, then the rust will not
injure it in the least, however favorable the
weather fur its production may be.
In confirmation of this, he would remark.that
, during the utmost part ofJly last. in this section,
the weather was very dry u and warm. Yet about
the 15th of the month, we had some wet warm
weather, and the enneequenee was that mom of
our fields of wheat were stricken with rust;
hut the berry was formed when the wet weath
er commenced, and the when was too far ad
vanced to be injured—the rust proved too tri
fling localise injury—the wet and warm weath
er was not perhaps of sufficient duration.—
The showers were short, and the rust did not
so. far progress as to stop the circulation of the
sap. and the berry obtained the necesary sup
ply.
Our crops of wheat have not been so fine for
many years—the berry is large and the wheat
of a superior quality. Et en the hate sown
wheat, although affected by this rust. has
escaped injury. The beiry is not inferior to
that sown earlier, but the yield to the acre is
not so areal by one-fourth. Superior cultiva
tion and earlier sowing are the best preven
tives of the injurious effects of rust yet dis
covered. But the writer believes he has dis
covered a remedy for the rust, plant or not
plant. lie is preparing to make the experi
ment the next season ; and if successful, the
result will he communicated. •
He also believes that great crops of wheat
may yet be grown as well in the counties on
the Hudson as in western New York. We
shall see.
A FARMER OF TOMPFUNS COUNTY
AGRICULTURE—ITS FUTURE PRoSPERITV.—
A Liverpool correspondent of the Louisville
Journal, after disetisstng, the relative value of
%merican and Russian hemp, thus writes
must not forget to speak of a new feature that '
haS been given to this market the Past week.
by the appearance and sale of some tine lots of
American wool. The quality is highly spo
ken of. and there is no doubt but it will soon
be eagerly sought for. How brilliant does
the future agricultural career of the United
States appear! The hill region of Kentucky.
Tennessee, and Virginia. as well as the North
ern States, will be covered with flocks, and
wool will be added to cotton, and hemp, and
silk for the supply of the world. Our wines
too. will come here in due time, as our Ate
have already done. to compete with those of
the European continent."
A GREAT FARMER.—Ntartin Smith of Wheat
land, with 20 acres of land, has sustained, the
last year.. a family of 13 children, and had
money on hand to assist his neighbors who
had 200 acres. 13y his good management and
perseverance, he was enabled to hold on to
his crop three years for an improved market.
The committee on farms of the Monroe Agri•
cultural Society. awarded him a premium of a
diploma. framed and glazed. The secret of
his success, we understand, is his superior
method of cultivation. 110 should be made a

steadily increasing interest felt far the vegetable king
dom:. Latterly, this taste has been partially gratified
by the literary magazines, which owe their popularity,
in a great measure, to the beautiful flower prints that
adorn them. One specimen a month, however, is not
e nough, nor is it required in such connection. A work
relating exclusively to the subject, is wanted by the
public, and this want, the present enterprise is intend

We will mention in the outset that no universal
panacea will be found in its pages. We have never
heard a secret worth knowing from, nor been cured of
a deadly disease, by an Indian, or a seventh son of a
seventh son,or any of the' genus; the medical paten
! mons of all which, we utterly loathe and despise.
Preceded by a short introduction o Physiology, and
a view of the Natural and Ltnntean Systems, the work
will be•devoted to a separate consideration of each plant.
I Together with our own information, we shall draw on
l the standanl works put Chemistry, and Medicine, com
bining every usvful item of knowledge, and without
. lessening its value, present it in a concise, and pleasing
form. Obtaining, our suppling from the same sources

each, more especially the medicinal. will be confirmed,

To this will be added its history ; its meaning in the
language of flowers; awl poetry. ither original or se
; levied, from the genus of the children of song.
The whole illustrated by splendid Colored Engrav
ings, taken from nature, full size, and flinched in the
highest style or modern nut.
This work is designed to be eminently popular in its
application. and th re is enough of that which is stran
ger than fiction about it, to render it, in no ordinary
degree, interesting and instructive.

CONSUMPTION CURED.

In=!!B]
LEAVIRTOWIt, N. Y., Sept. 10, 113.14
Dn. D. LI N K.—Dear Sir: R i said by Physicians,
and is by the mass of mankind believed, that Consump
tion cannot be cured—that when once it becomes seated
in the human system. nothing can eradicate or stay its
progress, but that it will continue the work of destruction
until its victim sinks into the grave.
However true this may be in theory, I am disposed to
doubt it in fact; indeed, my own experience, and a de•
sire to benefit others, compels me to pronounce the as
sertion untrue. You will probably recollect, air, that
in the beginning of 1840 I wrote to you, stating that I
had the Consumption, and that it was fast hurrying me
to the grave. I did not then, nor do I now doubt, every
symptom was too painfully visible. My Physicians
considered me incurable, but the advice which I asked
of you was given, and I happy to say that by using a
few bottles of your incomparable medicine—the EX
PECTORANT, I was restored, and never in my life
have I enjoyed better or more uninterrupted health than
since that time. Hymn should see me now, you would
not imagine by my appearance that I had ever been
sick, much less that I had bad the Consumption, but
that ram still living, I ascribe wholly and entirely to
your Expectorant.. LEONARD SHEPPARD.

A new and elegant edition of die reissue of the
PENNY MAGAZINE.
IMHEsuccess which the cheap edition of the PENN.(
Manazism has met with, induces the Publisher
to comply with the earnest request of numerous gentle
men in various parts of the I:nion, to publish a nevi
edition, on finer paper, and in o mere elegant st r le.
The publisher, therefore, here'iy annumwas, that on
the first Saturday of July, I 546, he will issue the first
number of the fine edition of the

and usefulness.
The London Penny Magazine; issued under the di

ledge," is unquestionably, one of the most enteitaining
and useful of all the populat works which has appeared
in any age, or in any language. Its pages embrace
every suliket in the wide field of human knowledge;
and as every article, whether on Science, History, Bi
ography, Literature, or the Arts, passed the careful
scrutiny and critical ordeal of an able committee of
Teamed men, the work may be placed in the hands of
the youth of the country without danger or distrust.—
The popularity of the work in England may be judged
of from the fact that, during the first year of its publi
cation more than 80,01)0 espies the monthly parts
were disposed of. The whole work consists of about
4 . ,000 large imperial octavo paces, and is illustrated
by 2,000 engravings. The original cost of Stereotyping
and Engraving. to the London Publishers, was $25.000.

and chronic diseases, healing and restoring the internal
organs, with their convenience, certainty and cheapness
render them the most useful general and family medi
dine to be found.
The great variety of cures which have been made,
have opened a field for war, and every means have been
boldly reeorled to by the old pid senders to crush these
f go-ahead' pills. The first slander runs thus :
New-York, July, 1844.
We, •Phyalcians of this city, feel it our duty to
state, that we believe the pills known as Ds. Smith's
Sugar Coated Improved Indian Vegetable Pills,' are
mainly composed of mercury."

This fraud was extensively circulated in the country
before it came to the knowledge of Pr. Smith; but on
insemiption it was found that several large concerns
had contributed hundred of dollar., to 0.. t these Pills
down, by the most foul mean, and Dr. Smith Imme
diately applied to the celebrated Chemist, Dr. Chilton,
and the following is the result:

and this falls exclusively on that pal of the semi. mbnii

make up this unexpected deficiency by the most prompt

last year. By the promptness7and-activity of the C.d.

our public works, including all the branches, are how
in full and successfuloperation.
I stated in my circular of the 24th of ?day, 1845
that •" we paid the interest due in February last, and
we can do so in August and Felrrmn3i next, if arm,
and prompt measures are adopted in the several counn ee
of the Commonwealth." Your efforts. have fulfilled
these expectations, and our Commonwealth stand s re.

use all the means its our power. to maintain Our ele
