White as the glancing sea bird's wing Their swelling sails expand, Beside the bright Egean isles, Or green Formosa's strand ; Or where the spare Norwegian pine A sudden summer shares, Or Terra del Fuego's torch Amid the tempest glares. Unmoved their trackless course they hold Though vengeful Roreas roars, And made their port on stranger-coasts, Or undiscovered shores. Rude people of a foreign speech Have learned their cheering cry, "Land ho ! aloft ! and bear a hand " Are the ready tar's reply.

The spices from the Indian isles, The plant of China's care, The cane's sweet blood from tropic climes Their merchant vessels tiear. Wheiever Commerce points his wand, They mount the crested waves, And link together every sea The rolling globe that laves.

There may be readers who will euppoeethc annexed recital to be nn exaggeration ; but, at least 00 persons who were in the Capital of the State of Mississippi on tho lid of March, 1840, can testify that this account falls far tdmrt of the reality. The Clerks of tho House, as in duty bound, entered the report of tho member from Greene on the journals; but, on the next morninp, it was expunged by the House at the request of the member himself. And, moreover, lc6t any one should think the member from flrccne a fictitious character, the reality of his character and existence in evi denced by the credentials; now on filo in the archives of the Stale a copy whereof is hero to annexed which credentials are by no means an improper introductory to the sketch follow ing: CRKnEKTlALS OF THE HON.

Given under my hand and seal, this 1J De cember, 181". JOHN K. RHODES, Returning officer for caid county, lbt Moll day of Nevetnber, 115. Tho best subject which came before the Legislature during the session of 1S-1G, was the all-abforbing one in regard to the charter of Mrlnnis't Vtrry The owner of the ferry was a member himsell being the representa tive of his county of Grcrnc where the ferry is located; and through nil the trying scenes of getting the charter through, that Hntra ah!e representative bore himself in a manner, and with a spirit, which, to iy the least, were remarkable. On the firft broaching of the subject, some opposition was made. The representative from (''lark, nn adjoining county, connived that the charter interfered w ith the rights of other citi zens who had ferries on the same river, (the ('hickasahay ;) and, on the first reading of the bill, this same representative (Mr. Moody,) moved its rejection. This motion brought Mr. Mclnnis to his feet. He had never spoken bo fore ; but, in this one efTort, (his maiden speech,) he more than compensated for his former re misfness. 'I hope," (sid ho, addressing the House but not the Speaker,) 'I hope you'll not reject my ferry bill. Gentlemen, I'm hound to kerp a ferry. Tliem other men that's got ferries near nie, ain't hound Bt all. They've got some lit tle trifling flats to git across the river on when they want to go to mill and when it's conve nient for 'em to put a traveller over, they do it and when it ain't they don't. Rut I'm Imund In herp ferry. Ask Mr. Moony ; ho knows all about it. He knows I've kept ferry there a cross the Chickasahay for thirty years past. My ferry's right on the big road to Mobile, and every where. There's three mails crosses at my ferry. Gentlemen, I'm bound to keep a ferry. Mr. Moody knows I live at Leaksville, rijht at the Court House and these fellers that keep theother little ferries they turn my boats loose, and liore auger holes in 'etn and sink 'em. 1 hope, gentlemen, yon'il piss mv bill. I've just got a letter from my shr last night a telling me that them fellers has boon boring more holes in my boat. Gentlemen, I'm hound to kern ferry. I always cross every body that comes I'm bound to do it. And al ways keep guod flits well painted with tar," After this appeal, and the necessary readings being gone through, tho bill pushed the House ly a large majority, and was sent to the Sen ate. Here a novel scene occurred unprecedent ed, perhaps, in the annuls of lojjiclat ion even of Mississippi legislation. Uy a rctoluliuu of the Senate, the representative from Greene was invited to address that august budy upon the merits of his bill, w hich he had after the man ner indicated in the above sketch of his remarks in the House. Alter the grave Senators had sufficiently amused themselves with the mat ter, they passed the bill. The worthy repre sentative immediately hurried back to his seat to the House; and, although the Clerk was reading in the midst of a document the delight ed member exclaimed: Mr. Speaker, my ferry bill has passed tho Senate, and 1 want the House to concur.' A roar of laughter followed this unique an nouncement. As soon as the bill in hand was disposed of, there was an obstreperous call by the House that the gentleman from Greene should bo heard in regard to his mission lo the other branch of tho Legislature. Mr. Mclnnis roe and said : 'Mr. Speaker, the Senate passed my bill.' Speaker 'What ! have the Senate passed your ferry bill V Mr. Mclnnis 'Yes, sir ; they've passed it.' Speaker 'Well, 1 m vpry glad to hear that the Senate have passed the ferry bill of the gentlemnn from Greene.' Mr. Mclnnis proceeded : 'Mr. Speaker, H'hen I went into the Sonata I told 'cm all about my ferry, and some of 'em hopped on to my bill.' Here there were cries of 'Who opposed it. -who attacked the ferry bill V Why, sir, Mr. Runway did, and Mr. I.n- bnuvc loo. Itabauve said he was travelling a- long there one once nn electioneering tour, and, like many other politicians, ho wbs out of mon ey land he said I wouldn't set him over at my ferry, hepnsc he had'nt no money. I told him rij:ht be'ote the whole Senate it wasn't so.' Speaker." 'That I-nbanvc is a dangerous fellow to talk to in that way.' Mclnnis. 'Yes sir, he said he would throw n glove nt me, if he hnil one.' No reporter, whatever his powers be, could do justice to tho various scenes which the House and the Senate presented, in the pro gress of the nbuvc mentioned events. The crowding of members and visitors around the sent of the Greene representative, whenever he rose or opened his mouth the mors of obslre- j pcrous mirth the painful contortions of the speaker's face, us he vainly strove to keep him self and the House in an orderly frame these things all defied description- to say nothing of the greatest curiosity of all the member from Greene himself. In the course of an hour or so, a message came from tho Senate, stating, nmonj other Bets, possed, that they had passed the House bill, in regord to the Chickasahay Ferry. The worthy member again arose 'Mr. Speaker,' said he, 'I hope you'll now let me have the bill, to take Jo the Governor, to get him to sign it.' Fortunately tho House was now too busy in discussing some other mure important matter, or thero would have been another convulsive scene. As it was, there was incontinent burst of laurjh'er, as sudden as it was universal and overwhelming, nnd then there was calm again. Night came and new furl was furnished, to feed the slumbering embers of that mirth, which had nearly consumed the House, during the day. In the morning a petition had been presented, from Harrison County, by the great radical reformer from that county, (Mr. Mc Ciitighn,) prajinglhc Legislature to pissu law providing that lawyers might be elected us other officers are, und coiopensati d out of the State Treasury forbidding them to receive pmate foes, &c. &C. On this petition a coiniinitee had been appointed ineludin, singularly enough, the member from Giecne. Judge, then, of the enrprisu of tlm House, at the promptness of Mr. Mclnnis, when, ot the night session ot the ery day he was iippoiiiteil, he rose in his place, utid the lolluwin report which in due form, was read at the Clerk's desk ; but was interrupted at the close of eveiy sentence by shouts of applause and merriment : crowded as the hall was by a bnljuut array both of ladies and gentlemen; in it mroiir Of Col. Jack MrlnniK, from the Select Com mittee that had Mr. Mc('outhn's Lawyer Hill put to 'em. Now, Mr. Speaker, if this House w ill give j mo its detention fur a few minites, I think that I can explain this matters. Mr. McCaughn has introduced a great pas se of bills here, which is heredical nnd null and void, and hain't got no sense in 'em. He put in a bill here to get up a theorlogical ser vey of the country, and this my constituents is opposed to, becase they think there's no use in if. The people have enough to pay fur now, thit ain't of no account. There has leen a p-ood deal of citenient about my ferry bill ; and when I had used up Mr. Moody; and got it into the Senate, Labno had to git up and say ho was at my ferry wnnst, and I ret'u-ed to set htm over the river, b"case he didn't have no money and I jest told what he said wiirn't so. Now, I don't know much about this here Ijiboo, but 1 don't think he is the clean cat fur; no how I give my vurs about the pennytenshorry t'other day, and I was right, for the things there does look like they was painted with tar and 1 told the truth about it, and you know it. Now; Mr. McCauhu is a man of great lam ing: he can write equal tonnyiuanin this House, and I'm sprized that as smart a man should have such heredical notions. He want ed to have a law passed here, for doing away with securities ; but ho couldn't get that fixed and then he wanted lo get tho law turned so that a man would have lo ix his wife, when he wanted to go a fellar'a security. Now, I work ed for my plunder, and Fin opposed to all atich sort of laws. Tbia Legislater haa already paa- sod n In w, giving a man's wife hisplunder, nnd his bard yearnings, and t believe Mr. Mc- Cauirhn was tho cause of it, for it is jest like ono of them heredical laws of hiz.cn, that we have all beam so much about. Now, t think this law bill a rascally bill for I believe in letting tho people get any lawyer he likes, and pay him what he chuses. And if this lull passes, why theso heredical candidates would be always treating nnd fooling the peo pie ju.-t to get elected. Thero is too many rascals ns is candidates, now, and as sech, I'm agin it. I'm much oblecched to the Legislator for passing my ferry bill. They ought to have pas sed if, for 1 lint man Wally, or some body else bored too inch nuger holes in my flat, jest he- case I not more ferrying to dothnn he did ; but I've fixed him now, for I've got the best ferry any how ; and the Sennte's agreed to it, for all 1 lint fellow Laboo went ngain it. And if you'll let me have the bill 1 will jest tako it right down to the Governor, to sign it. And I will go and raie my sunk ferry boat, and stop the nuger holes, and ferry every body as travels that way; and I'll tako tho greatest pleasure in crossing the members of this Legislator, be ense they fasfed my bill. Rut I'm again Mc CounhnV bill any how, for it is time to stop all sieh heredical doctrines. On the st day of the session, the House of Representatives got into a supremely high glee, An nhstrnct of some of the proceedings may not be uninteresting. After theusuol resolutions: of compliment to the Sorakrr and Clerks were adopted, Mr. Al len ollered the following resolution : ' 7,V soh i d unanimously, 'Flint the thanks o1 this House be tendered to Col. Mclnnis, the honorable member from Greene, for thu rood ! humor w ith wh eh he has treated this House, a bile indulging in so much innocent amuse ment at his own expense." This resolution being adopted by acclamation Mr. Mclnnis n rose, anil said: Gentlemen, I feel highly honored by the bill jist pissed and I thnnk the House for their hhidncs and hospitality The honorable member then paused for some moments end then, i.i thoughtful mood, pro ceeded : Gentlemen I don't like that are about its be ing at my expensr1, I don't want that to stay in the bill ; and I move to 'mend by slrikin out all about c.rprnst s, and aij at the expense of the public' This uinendinent wa adopted and nil must admit that the nmeniliiietit possesses much less of green-nifs than the gentltinan from Greene was aware of. Alter this, sundry resolutions, rubbing pret ty hard on some other honorable members, were introduced and discussed, in a vicn of broad burlesque, to the great amusement of a iiniiK runs aoi'.i ory pending which a mes sage was announced from the Governor. Sjuaktr, 'Invite tho gentleman in. Let the message he recejved.' A young gentleman immediately came with in the bnr of the House ; anil, in the midst of resp.'ctful silence, (nnd without any one expec ting a juke at tho time,) sent lo the Clerk's Desk, 'u communication from His Excellency in writtng' which was read as follows; vno or i in: i rnuv r.ii.r.. (Icnlli men oj the House of ' Reprcsrntalivcn : It is with extreme regret that I feel it my duty to return to the House, (whence it originated,) a bill grunting to t'(. I.

Because I bavn been informed that he has refused to crsss poor folks who had no mon ey to pay ferriage; VM. Because his boats are leaky, On this message, there was a riprnariotis call of'P ass the bill !' 'Pass the bill over the head of :he Governor!' 'Pass it by acclamation' 'Don't cull i he ayes ond noes !' 'Dispense with the constitution and pa;s the Ferry Rill,'&c. &c. Reliire taking the vote, however, there wasa call 'Hear the gentleman from Greene, in an swer to tho objections of the Governor.' And he did answer : Mclnnis When 1 left home, gentlemen, my boats was in goml order then, sure. Rut I don't know how they are now that's all I can say about it nt present. speaker Tho remarks of the gentleman are not exactly in order, for they refer to thes'c ond objection. The first objection must be spo ken to first, to-wit : his refusal to ferry over the poor. As to the other, a leaky boat would be better than none. So the gentleman will see that the poi.it now under consideration is, not that lie crossed the poor in leaky boats but that be would not cross poor people at all, if they haJ no money. Mclnnis That ain't so, Mr Speaker, and nobody ever said so, septing that feller 1-aboo. Speaker And the objection wouldn't apply, if you had refused to ferry 'laboo,' for he's not a poor man he's rich. The House being fully satisfied of the insuffi ciency of the veto, passed the bill by acclama tion, instead of by ayes and noes. Tire Speaker then proclaimed The bill's passed almost unanimously tho question's carried the ferry standi.' Artichokes. The destruction of so large a share of the potatoe crop must, we think, !e-d farmers to the cultivation of o'her crops t' -.t will in some measure supply this important ar ticle. In LT.sworh's Reports the artichoke is spoken of ns furnishing even bolter spring feed for hogs, cattle and sheep, than the potatoe ; and it is cultivated with less expense. Mr. Thomas Noble, of Massilon, gives in substance the following account of a trial nt thoin made in 1"? 13. Tho ground was of medium quality, and prepared like that for other spring crop.'. The artichokes were planted in rows 2J nnd II feet apart using a little more seed tlirtn is com monly used in planting potatoes. As soon ns the frost was out of tho ground on the following spring, the harvesting commenced. The pro duct was at the rate of ?"0 bushels per ncrc. They were fed principally to sherp, tiiouyh cat tle, horses and hogs all ate them well, seeming to prefer them to turnips. Mr. Noble also used the top? for fodder. He cut them in October, just before frost came, dried end housed them. They were fed to the stock in winter, nnd were evidently preferred to corn fodder. Mr Nnblc wns so well pleased with tlietu that he proposed to cultivate them on n larger scale. They re quire but li'.tle cultivation, it only bping neces sary to keep the ground clear of weeds till tiie artichokes get a good start. ('Inland Iter. To t'RKVKNT Crows i rom v i.i.im; vp C jo.

Split it w ith a knife or chisel, and having tapered tho scion in the shape of a wedge, Insert it in the cleft stock, so as lo make the bark of both coincide, w hich, perhaps, is not necessary with the vine; tie it with any kind of string, merely to keep the sci on in its place, so as to leave only one bud of the graf above the ground ond the other just below the surface, and it is done.

The topi may be headed down to a dense compact head, or trained as espaliers in the hor izontal or fan method, the two latter modes of training, by the free exposuro (o tun and air, much improving the quality of the fruit. The importance of triinmirg the bushes up to a sin gle stem, to improve the fruit ami facillate clean culture, instead of suffering two hundred end fifty suckers to shoot up all around into a dense; b'tish heap, is very obvious to those who have tried both.
