BY MRS. AMELIA B. WELBY.
Oh, for the bright and gladsome hour.
When like a wandering stream,
My spirit caught from earth and sky
The light of every beam;
When, if into my laughing eye
A tear drop chanced to start,
'Twas banished in a moment by.
The sunshine of the heart.
When musing on the happy past;
The first spring lime of life,
When every tone of wind and wave
With melody was rife;
When alf youth's hopes and promises.
Those rainbows of my sky,
Pa need forth in fairy visions
Before my wandering eye.
My heart is with the leaping rills,
That murmur round the home.
Where first my lips were taught to speak
My tiny feet to roam;
The sweet songs of the happy birds.
The whispering wild voiced breeze
That caught the faint breath of the rose.
And waved among the trees.
How many mournful memories
Steal gently through the mind,
Like spiri t voices- borne along
Upon the the' wandering wind;
And as thought leads me back again,
I almost seom to trace
la each sweet flower, and shrub, and tree,
Some fond, familiar face,
Tis thought because I smile on all,
Thai I am vain and gay
That, by the world's light flattery,
1 might be lured astray:
They know not that my heart oft breathes
Its fragrance out in eighs.
That sad sungs tremble an my lips,
And tears within my eyes.
My thoughts are all as pure and sweet,
As when 1 was a child,
And all my bright imaginings
Are just as free and wild:
And were it notftr one bright link,
Within affection's chain,
I'd wish to wander to that spot.
And be a child again.
I tore tlic Ladies every One.
BY JAMES STILL MAN.
I love tho ladies, every one
The laughing, ripe brunelto
Those dark eyed daughters of the sun,
With tresses black as jet.
What rapture in their glances glow,
Rich tints their cheeks discloses,
And in tho little dimples there,
Young smiling Love reposes.
I love tho ladie. every one
The blonde so soft and fair
With looks so mild and languishing,
And bright and golden hair;
How lovely are their sylph-like forms,
Their alabaster hue,
And their blushes far more beautiful
Than rose-buds bathed in dew.
I love the ladies, every one
E'en those whose graceless forms
Are rugged as the oak that's borne
A hundred winter's storms
The young, the old, the stoat, the thio.
The short as well as tall,
Widows and wives, matrons and maids,
O, yes, I love them all,
I love the ladies, every one
None but a wretch would flout 'em,
This world would be a lonely place
If wo were left without 'em:
But lighted by a woman's smile,
A vay all gloom is driven.
And the most humble home appears.
Almost a little Heaven.
I love the ladies, every one,
They ,re angels all, God bless 'em.
And what con greater pleasure give
Than to comfort and caress 'em.
I call myself a temperance man;
So I'll drink their health in water
Hero's to tho mother's, one and all.
And every mother's daughter.
A southern poet who cannot raise funds
enough to get to the 'gold diggings.' thus
pours out his full soul in glowing strains:
If I only was an elephant,
I'd pack uiy trunk and travil;
And away in California
I'd soon be scratching gravil!

Planting Indian Corn.
Of all the crops the farmer produces,
Indian corn i3 unquestionably the most
profitable. I he correctness of this asser
tion will no doubt be questioned by some
especially those who have pursued the
business under unfavorable auspices, or
without possessing sufhcient experience
or knowledge to direct themVighdy in the
undertaking, l'robablv most of my read'
ers who have attained to middle age can
recolect when from twenty-five to thirty
bushels of shelled corn, per acre, was con
sidered a good crop. Frequently, the
yield fell far below this. I have seen many
fields from which not more than ten or
fifteen bushels of sound corn were harves
ted to the acre; and yet the soil was of a
character calculated, in most instances, to
produce, with proper management, from
seven to eight times the maximum yield
stated, and this without iujury to its pro
ductive power, or reducing its vegetive en
ergies below the point requisite for the
successful developement and maturation of
a succeeding crop. In many instances 1
have seen from one hundred and twenty-
five, to one hundred and forty bushels of
sound, shelled corn stated as the produce
of a single acre! This is apvast yield, it
is true, so vast, indeed, that many are
disposed to doubt whether it has ever, in
reality, been attained; and were it not that
these statements are attested and sworn to
under oath, by witnesses in whose veraci
ty and correctness we are called to confide,
1 should myself be almost inclined to ques
tion their correctness; or, at least, to sus
nect them of some strange oversight or
mistake. Be this as it may, no farmer, I
presume, who has experiemented, intel i-
gentlu, in reference to this important crop,
will express himself as otherwise than
convinced that it is possible greatly to in
crease the average yield. But in order to
do this, it is essential, nay, indispensable
that the soil be of good quality. This is
the primars, and, perhaps, most important
consideration to be attended to, lor, it the
character and position of the land be un
favorable, if it be low and wet, or sub
ject to periodical inundations, all the sub
sequent details must inevitably result in
disappointment, and the crop will either
be destroyed prematurely, or struggle on
through a sickly existence, producing at
harvest barely sufiicient to defray the
cost.
When circumstances are favorable, 1
prefer planting this crop on green sward,
plowed as late in the spring as the require
ments of the case will permit. Before
plowing, I spread on my long manure, dis
tributing it as evenly as possible, and turn
it immediately under with a shallow fur
row. I then roll thoroughly, and apply
the harrow. These operations are re
peated, on light soils, until the surface is
rendered light and fine, i he rows are
then laid off three and a half feet apart, ex-
tendidg lengthways and across the piece,
and from half to two. thirds of a shovelful
of old, well rotted manure or compost is
allowed to each hill. I never use any
coating or 'steep;' planting the seed just as
it comes from the cob, allowing common
ly from six to seven kernels to the hill.
After depositing the manure, a mixture of
five parts ashes, one of common salt, and
a small quantity of gypsum, is sprinkled
over the suface say one-half pint to each
hill; the soil is then carefully drawn over
it, and compressed by stamping with the
head of the hoe. As soon as the blades
appear, another application of the mixture
is made one gill to each hill. Vhen
the plants have attained the height of an
inch and a half, if the soil is much infest
ed with weeds, the cultivator is intro
duced, passing longitudinally and trans
rersly through the piece, and the spurious
vegetation removed from the hills by the
hoe and hand. Another dressing ot the
mixture, or of guano, is then given, and
two bushels of gympsum to the acre sow
cd broad-cast, over the whole surface.
1 he second hoeing lollows as soon as
the weeds have again started, and the same
indication determines the time of the third.
No hill is made the soil being retained
perfectly flat or level through the season.
When convenient, I mix my new and old
dung together, before spreading. The old
manure yields its assistance during the
earlier stages of vegetation, and will aid
powerfully in sustatning the plants till the
new has had time to ferment and become
capacificd to supply its place. It would
be more judicious, unquestionably, to cov
er the old dung with the harrow, rather
than with the plow but this would in
crease the labor to and irksome extent,
without, perhaps, a proportionate to the
crop. . ... A PRACTICAL FARMER.
Preparation of the Soil.
Spare no pains or expense in the prep
aration oi the sou, lor the reception o
grain, root and grass crops, at this season.
There is a false economy in this matter
which requires to be corrected. Editors
may write and lecturers declaim till the
former are blind and the latter deaf, yet
unless farmers practice the precepts that
we promulgate, no reformation will be
effected, and agriculture will remain as it
is to the end of time. In ploughing, har
rowing, manuring and planting, see that
all is carefully and scientifically performed
If you employ men who prefer their own'
way to yours, set them adrift at once.
Get good men set them a fair example
by being precise and particular yourself,
and allow them ample time to accomplisn
whatever they are engaged in, well.
Get the best seed, the best tools, ana go
not be niggardly in providing whatever is
essentially requisite for their comfort, or
the success and welfare of your crops.-
In this way farming, in all its departments,
will be an employment profiitable and
pleasant to all concerned.
Said an aged fanner to us the other day;
I, never permit either myself or those in
my employ to half do a thing. Experi
ence is a dear teacher, but 1 have derived
many valuable lessons from thatsource.-
When 1 cannot command time or means
to do a job as I think it requires to be
done, I never attempt it till I can. If I
have proposed to plant an acre of corn,
and I find that I am deficient of manure,
and consequently that I must diminish the
usual quantity per hill, I choose to lessen
the extent of the former, and augment the
quantity of the latter. This is the true
policy, and the thrifty condition of our
aged and intelligent friend
, proves it to be
3
so.

This is a grain universally grown, but
unfortunately for its product, is too often
consigned to the most poverty-stricken
field on the place and thus sown, if it
does not produce well, it is described as
an unprofitable crop to raise, whereas, the
fault of its failure was, in expecting it to
grow where it could find nothing to eat.
Give it the advantage of a generous soil,
and it will reward the culturist well for
his liberality. We have known 2,-100
bushels to be grown on a 40 acre field
but this field had been limed and ashed,
and had stood two years in clover they
were grown on clover-ley. To grow oats
or anything else on a poor soil is a ruin
ous business time and labor lost.
The sooner oats are got into the ground,
the better chance is there of their yielding
grain therefore put your ground in order
as soon as you can put it in good order
plough deeply, harrow well, sow two
bushels of seed to the acre, harrow them
in, and roll the ground after seeding them.
What Constitutes Good Farming?
In his work on"Laneash Farming" a
rare and valuable contribution to agricul
tural literature, Mr. llawstone, the auther,
remarks:
'It may be laid down as a standing rule,
and as a guide to direct us, that all good
farming, the whole of that process by
which bad land is to be 'converted into
good, and productive, and continued in
that state, is composed in the three follow
ing operations, of husbandry, viz:
1 . ' I o carry oft all superiiuous and stag
nant water, by means of judicious drain-
mg.
2. 'To return through the medium of
manure, the strength and fertility which
has been exhausted by cropping.
3. 'To extract all noxious weeds, that
the strength of the manure may be thrown
into the crops, and not into the weeds.
Every cultivator who exercises discre
tion in the management of his lands, will
recognize at once the importance of ob
serving these rules. Every weed produ
ced on a farm, abstracts somewhat from
its productive value, and when permitted
to mature its seed is a nuisance, the dete
riorating and stultifying effects of which
will make themselves felt for many years
To manure a field which has been care
lesslv hoed for one or two seasons, and
where more spurious vegetation nas ueen
allowed to reach maturity, than has been
destroyed, or even crippled by the noe, is
a labor that can involve tittle else except
disappointment and dissatisfaction in the
end. Hoeing and weeding are processes
which should be performed with skill and
circumspection, livery weea snuuiu uu
pradifrntnd and destroyed. When one
hoeiiifr. or one weeding fails to effect this,
let it be repeated; and so on till the soil is
thoroughly cleansed, and every vesiage oi
spurious vegetation utterly and completely
destroyed.
Most weeders are gross feeders and ab
stract a p-reater amount of nutritive matter
from the soil, than is required xo peneui

'So I could 'a seen him hung, the vil

About Kissing. A young lady who
