The Indian.
nr. j. w.
From the shadowy mist of the dark ages gone,
Ho tile of the red man to the present is borne;
We know that from Adam he must have de.
acended.
And we know that Lis proud race is now nearly
ended;
But we know not from whcnce.to this coontiy
he came.
The time of hit coming nor the deed of his
fame.
But how on the pinions of imagination,'
The mind loves to revel in its fairy creation!
To look on the Indian as he may now besesn,
And to judge by the wreck what he once must
have been;
Untamed and untameabte, the stamp even now
Of a spirit unyielding impressed on his brow.
lie treads not the soil that his forefathers tjod.
But bis form i erect in tlie image of God,
A'ike in his friendship and hatred sincere.
With the spirit that knows not the meaning. of
fear.
With an eye ever bright and a soul ever fiee;
Ob ! what with the light of fair science would
babe?
And what was -he once? true the white man
first found him
With the darkness of ignorance hov'ring
around him;
But still mid the gloom that enve loped bis
mind,
A ray of pure light in his bosom was shrined,
For he owned a Great Spirit, all wise and all
good.
And worshipped sincerely, tho with ritual
rude.
Did this knowledge remain from some far dis
tant time?
A knowledge that e'en in its wreck is sublime;
Were ever the minds of 'here children of night
Illumed by tbe rays of religion's pure light?
Ah! vain is our asking, fur all that was traced
On the shores of the pist Time's wave have
effjco'l.
God Bless the Honest Laborer.
Cod bless the honest laborer
The hardy son of toil,
The worker in the clattering mills.
The delver of the soil;
The one whose brawney hands have torn
From earth her hoarded wealth.
Whose sole return for ceaseless toil
In nature's boon sweet health.
Bless him w ho wields the ponuroua sledge,
CI id in his leathern mail.
That safe as warrior's panoply.
Guards from the scathing hail
That gushes from beneath each stroke.
Each mighty, crushing blow;
Who seeks to lighten labor's toil,
Where rudy fire9 glow.
Bless him who gives each beauteous tbouj
A resting place, a name.
And twines its transient glories'
With the fadeless wreath of fame;
Who sends ii forth on every breeze.
And bids it live to bless.
While ceaseless clicks the slender type,
And groans .he printing press.
Bloss all who toil: God's b'essing rest
On them with double power.
Whose honest brow the sweat-drops deck
la every daylight hour.
Bless them, though poor, and may they wia
What Woalili can never gain.
Contentment with their lot on earth,
A balm fur every pain.

But at least," said they to him, "you are

avowed his ignorance.

Garibaldi Once he lived Here,
It may not be uninteresting to our read
ers to know that Garibaldi, the leader ol
the insurrectionists of Rome, once kept a
public house on Sixth street, between
Plum and Western Row, m this city.
His house was, for some time, one of the
stopping places of the celebrated Charles
Hammond, as editorials from his pen will
show, as any man who has a file, or who
read his paper, may see. He kept liquor,
but his eatables and ' familiar, yet gentle
manly convetse, formed the principal at
tractions "for Hammond. Many a time,
our old citizens inform us, did the veteran
editor refer to Garibaldi as the prince ol
vood eating and eood company. From
Garibaldi's industry and good management
in this city, he made money; and when he
left for Italy, he remarked that his $25,
000 cash, that he had amassed, would
make him as wealthv in Rome as Griffin
Taylor and others of, great wealth, &c,
were considered here. At the time he left
our city, quite a large meeting of respecta
ble persons congregated at his house, and
the proceedings of the meeting were pub
lished in the city papers of 1838. A
grand supper was prepared and" partaken
of. toasts drank. &c &c. A friend of
ours, from whom we "obtain 'this informa
tion, remembers a remark of Garibaldi at
he time. He said: "Before long there
will be a revolution in Europe, and I wish
to have a hand in it." By the late for
eign news it will have been observed that
his name has figured largely in the accounts
from Rome. It will be seen by yester
day's telegraphic report, that, although
the French had entered the "Eternal
City," Garibaldi had escaped with "ten
thousand men.
From many citizens we have the histo
ry of this somewhat celebrated revolution
ist, while in our city. He seemed always
to have a great hatred to monarch s. He
will, perhaps, in his new position as lead
er, make some trouble and cause some
blood to flow; but the powerful armies of
r ranee, Austria, fepain, and JNaples, must
crush him, and he will die the death of
what those powers . consider a traitor de-
serves. He may be too smart, as we say
in common parlance, to be caught. If he
escapes, he will have no other refuge than
the United States, in which lie most prob
ably learned his revolutionary principles,
and perfected his ideas of self government.
Cincinnati Commercial.
Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad.
The following paragraph from the Pitts
burg Commercial Journal will be interes
ting; to our readers:
"Mr. S. W. Roberts, chief engineer of
this road, writes to the Prescient that he
has just gone over and reviewed eighteen
and a half miles of the road located from
the State line out toward Canton. He
finds on his review that the route has been
so judiciously treated that the cost of gra
ding, tc, will not exceed $3,000 a mile,
being $2,000 a mile less than the estimate.
This is a very important saving, and speaks
well for the skill and energy of Mr. Rob
erts and his assistants."
We learn that the board of Managers of
the company met at Canton, Ohio, on the
1st inst., to make preparation for further
lettings.
The most Original Duel ox Record.
We read in an old work a few days since
(says an exchange paper) an account of
one of the most original duels on record:
It is stated that two French gentlemen of
science having quarrelled about an opera
dancer, agreed to fight in baloons. Ac
cordingly, on the 3d of May, 1811, the
parties met in the field adjoining the Tuil
leries in Paris, where their respective bal
loons were ready to receive thpm. Each,
attended by a second, entered his car, with
a loaded blunderbuss, and at 9 o'clock the
cords were cut, and amid the shouts of the
spectators ascended majestically. When
about U00 yards high, one fired his piece,
but ineffectually, when the fire was re
turned by his opponent, which pierced the
balloon, caused its rapid descent, and the
death of both principal and second. The
victor then mounted and descended safely
about twenty miles from the spot of ascen
sion. Singular Phenomena.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Demo
The
cratic Advocate of the 13th ult. says that
a most singular sight was witnessed a few
days since, upon the premises of a Mr.
Bessey in the lower part of that town.
The earth for twenty or thirty feet square,
appeared to be in a state of natural spon
taneous combustion.' Flames were seen
to issue to a height sufficient to attract the
attention of persons a hundred yards off,
and many ot them upon repairing to the
spot, lound the earth on fire, sending forth
somewhat ot a sulphurous smell. An at
tempt was made to quench the mysterious
fire by copious drenchings of water, but it
was like adding fuel, to burn with more
vehemence, and producing the same crack
ling noise as that of grease and water when
commingled and brought in contact with
C I - '
ure. jteuiuauy, nowever, an expen-
meni was tneu, wnicn proved successful.
A heap ot ashes were obtained and pro
fusely scattered over the 'burning district;
water being then poured over them, an
alkaline composition was produced which
proved an effectual extinguisher of the
aqua-oleaginous. The Advocate says,
we visited it on Monday afternoon: we
could distinguisli no appearance of fire or
heat, save that which noured down unon
us from old Sol above, and which was of
a nature severe enough for all comfortable
purposes.
You can't do that do ag-ain.' as the
pijsaid to the boy who cat his tail off.
Summer Feed for Cattle. '
Some have recommended the soiling of
cattle, by which is meant feeding them
with new mown grass, &c, during the
summer months. Some intelligent agri
culturists have advocated the method, and
the question perhaps remains to be decided
whether the mode proposed has any ad
vantages over the common practice of
farmers; provided always, that our grass
lands shall be rightly managed. Lands
certainly become much improved by pas
turing cattle upon them, year after year.
The urine of animals is absorbed by the
soil, and although much of the most valu
able portion of the excrements of the cat
tle may escape into the air, we may save
a large quantity of manure by confining
the animals in the yard during the night
time. It is sterling good policy to plough
grass grounds, whether mowing or pasture,
often. And to change from pasture to
mowing, and from mowing to pasture,
often, would be attended with fine results.
Both the mowing and the grazing lands
would be highly benefitted by suh a
course. It .would.be well if the whole
farm could be suitably fenced off into lots,
so that a change may be made when desi
rable. We have some rocky pastures, in
deed which are unfit for mowing, but the
great bulk of our lands, by clearing off
obstauctions, may be rendered fit for this
purpose at a moderate expense. By prac
tising, as before stated, we may improve
the soil and also secure an abundant sup
ply of excellent summer feed for our stock.
We should so manage that we may be
able to afford milch cows, beef catUe, &c,
the benefit of early "fall feed," (and this
may always be done if the farm be suitably
fenced into lots,) say cut the hay crop
rather early and we get two good crops in
a single year; 1st, a crop of excellent early
cat hay, and 2ndly, a supply of superior
feed for cows and fattening cattle.
A farmer of small capital may not be
able to effect great changes in a single
year, but it is a fact worthy of being re
peated, that there is nothing like perseve
rance." If the rijrht kind of improvements
are begun, the most noble results may be
reasonably anticipated.
If by the practice of soiling cattle, the
saving of land is as great as has been as
serted by some, it would seem to be an
! object worthy of attention, at least in a
country overstocked witn population.
.11 t 1
Whether the soiling method will obtain
any considerable extent in our country re
mains to be seen. One fact is certain, that
better modes of managing our grass crops
than those now generally practised, would
be attended with greater beneficial results
than many may suppose.
Every farmer may not have a large
amount of pasture lands sufficiently level
to be conveniently covered to mowing,
but almost all may so manage that occa
sionally a small mowing field may be ap
propriated for the benefit of the cows in
s u m m e r . Ma ine Cultivator.
Faiteuing
nogs.
Farmers ought to know that spring pigs
of any of the late improved breeds, if well
fed all the time, can be made heavy enough
by December and (say from 190 to 250
lbs. average net weight) to bring the best
price the packers give for any; and that,
too, at less cost to the farmer than in any
other way that includes an extra wintering.
The most desirable hogs, to the gener
ality of packers, especially since the
French market has oeen opened to us, are
those weighing from 190 to 250 lbs. fat
and small boned. Ohio Cultivator.
Barren Soils.
This term is often used, and is supposed
by many tc mean a soil incapable of be
ing fertile. No such exists. Barren,
then, is only applicable when intended to
convey the idea of soil which in its pres
ent state will not repay the cultivator.
The unproductiveness may arise from
many causes, but none of them are with
out remedy. If from a deficiency of
some of the earths, let them be added; if
from an eccess or deficiency of either ani
mal or vegetable matters, the fault is easily
corrected; if from stagnant water, either
under-drain or subsoil, as may be required;
if sand. clav. or chalk be deficient, add
the other two. Peaty soils are genera''
reclaimed by draining; sometimes pams
and burning are necessary to induce tl
composition of organic matter in excess;
The same result can be obtained in most
or all cases, by the addition of the salt and
lime preparation which we have recom
mended for composts. When, soils are
found to be incompetent to produce any
special crops required,, the farmer should
have them analyzed, and men compare
their integrants with those of such soils as
do produce the required crop readily.
The differences will point out the means
which must naturally be resorted to, for
the purpose of restoring their fertility.
