In Ainsworth's Magazine there is,an ac
count of "A Night tilth Burns," which is
characteristic and entertaining.' One An
drew Horner, a resident in Carlisle, went
I to Clasggv l to publish a voltam of poems,
much adits.red by himself. Oddly enough,
on his way home, he strayed out of the
direct road into Ayr.whcre he met Burns at
public house,.and some boon companions
Set the poet errant and •the poet resident
(wh ‘ ose fame was then unmade) to try their
strength in a match of verse making. An
Epigram tuts the subject chosen, because,
as Andrew internally argued, "It is the
shortest of all poems." In compliment to
•him, the cornnany resolved that his own
merits Should supply the theme. Ile com
menced, - •
'ln seventeen hundree thirty nine,"—
and he paused. He then said, "Ye see, I
was born in 1739, (the real date was some
years earlier,) so I make 'that -the com
mencement.' He then took pen - in hind,
folded his paper, with a conscious air of
authorship; squared himself to the table
like one who considered it no trifle to write
even a letter, and slowly put down in a
good round hand, as if he had been mak
ing out's bill of parcels, the line— -
"In seventeen hundred thirty nine,"
but beyond this, after repeated atteMPts,lie
was unable to advance. The second line
was the Rubicon he could not pass. At
last whed Andrew Horner reluctantly ad
milted that he was not (juito,in the veld,
the pen, the ink and the paper were hand
edto his antagonist. By him . they 'were
rejected, for heinstantly gave the following'
viva toce-4-,

• 'Shortly after the decease of the late Mr.
Dwight, Tutor in Yale College, the Rev.
Dr; Begot- preached a Sermon' to his con

world because of offences ! for it must

in which he. made some allusions, to the
event which it was supposed caused his
death. At' the solicitation of the Wash
ington Temperance Society, the Sermon
was repeated ,with some additional thoughts.
It has now been published in the New
I 1 -
ven Courier. The great lesson .of the'
text, which Dr. B. ennaxered to inculcate
was ""the, responsibility of men for each
other's character before God." We quote
from the discourse: -
"There is an illustration of this lesson iii

When Gutl maketh inquisition for
Vaud, these questions must be answered.
We have been . told—and fur the sake of
illustration, we will suppose it to be true—
that some one, we know not who, a few'
moments before the commission of the fa

hands of the desperate stripling. Cod, be

From the ravines.% Cabiliet
It is stated in a recent number of the
Soutlurn Planter, that Jom 11. Pori's, of
Ilenriiio, Virginia, raised this year, one .
hundred bushels of corn upon an acre of
land. And why should not this quantity
became common on our' farms ? Why
should not our farming operations beeonie
synonymous with gardening upon a large
scale ? .
. We entirely believe, and occasion has
been taken to make - the stivgeSlbin in the
Cabinet' before this, that the ans w er to
these questions may be caught in the fact,
that the operations of Our farmers are upon
too large• a scale; that is, they till more
land than is proportionate to the capital
which they are Mile to employ on it. Of
course, and of necessity, their tillage is de_
ficient, and their land remains to be unim
proved, not yielding any thing like its inax-
Munn of profit.
In this yaung country, stretching from
the lisYof Fundy to Cape Sable, and front
this to . the Rocky *Mountains, with a pop
ulation but thinly spread over the whole
of it, our redundancy—our surplus, it is
plain to be seen, must be land: in England,
on the contrary, their surplus is capital and
laboil and therefore it is, that their agri
cidture is far soperior to ours. They make
outlays in their farming oper.iiti,iy.+4 T ,Atich
1 - enable them to bring their lands to approx
imate at !cast, :n any instances, to the
highest state of productiveness. Their
large amount of capital, and their surplus
of labor are thus brought into the market,
and made available, both for. the general
good and individual profit. We laek cap
ital, and we lack labor—but lihsing abun
dance of land, we are persuaded to 'under
take the management of farms, which are
extensive beyond our mmins to make the
most of, and lint unfrequently we are found
going beliindThand, on ph , illations of two
or three hundred acres. The man whose
farm is larger than his means, must of ne
cessity-be a podr farmer—his land grows
thinner and thinner—his crops lighter and
lig.tfer—and his labor, in proportion to the
returns from his lands,become lieatiar and
end heavier, for the furrow, it will he ae
knowledgcd, is just as long in a corn field
that will yield but fifteen bushels to the
acre, as in one that will, give one hundred,
Di connection with this subject, we re
collect an anecdote of the late William
West, brother of Sir Benjamin the painter,
end One of.the best farmers in Delaware
county, and the late Benjamin Johnson, of
this city,' who, at the time alluded to, had
just purchased a farm. Ile inquired of
William West, what method he should a
dopt to render it the most profitable ?
'Make it rich," was the reply, "Ali, but
it will coat too much money." "Then
make twenty acres rich." "Then enrich
ten—or if not ten, Live—and if not five,
make one acre rich. At any rate, .emich
a hart as goon as possible, always havii%g
ati eye to enrich the whole : the part first
made rich, will immediately help to enrich
the other." ,IVito will say that this ad
vice dOes not contain a text, ( that will bear•
to be speculated upon by manii of our
repders, during the whole of one of these
long winter evenings

that by proper cultivation. from sx. - teett to
twenty barrels of corn an acre can be it
on almost any land susceptible of improve

produce as much on fen acres of land high

old way, why not do it! the labor will bo

rating, it will improve in:his hands."
The editor of the Kent Old.) Ncw•s al
so raised over eighty-four bushels of Corn
to the acre, in a sinall lot of two acres..
iNlr.Jaeob Frock of West Vincent, ip
the neighboring county . of Cheater,. states
that he raised the present sOll5Oll, ono hun

Mr, 0. Dickinson of Onondago county,

that he raiaed the past season, fifty-tWo

for hay. The last of August; I plowed in
a large growth of clover, and .harrowed.it
thoroughly. On the eth and 7th of Sep
tember, I sowed on one bushel and three
pecks of Clinatla flint wheat to the acre,
and harrowed it in. , The soil is a friable
black slate or loam. The wheat in the
whole field was remarkably equal, and the
crop per acre as stated."
The time will come, wo think, and is
not fir distant, when. our farmers will add
at least one fourth to the yield of all their
crops—and when 40 or 50 bushels of wheat
to the acre, will not be considered a great
crop.
A f:;toN.—An exchange paper sap that
the best sign a dry goods meitliant cart
raise in the West to make ready sale for
hia goods•is " Not Married;!'
The suggestion is pretty good, but it
does not go far enough. The following
written on a sign 'in a New England vil
lage, was better. "Dry, Goods, by Jolla
Biglow, who wants to get Married." This
sign drew all kinds of custom.
The single ladies went of course; and
the married men always told their wives to
go, under the impression that they could
easily cheat so great a fool.
