Forward! tho day is breaking; Earth shall be dark no more; Millions of men are waking On every sea and shore; With trumpets and with banners, The world is marching on; The air lings with hosannas; The field is fought and won. Forward! on crown and mitro We trample as we go. While bright and ever brighter The fire of morning g!ow; Our broken foes are flying. Blasted by light from heaven; Or in the battle dying, Unwept and unforgiven. Forwsrd! though storm and thunder May roar or beat us back; Though the earth cleave asuuder Across our constant track; Ne shapes of terror frighten Hearts that are true and strong, Hut the flames iheir pathway brighten And the thunders roll in song. Forward! the world before us Listens to hear our tread; And the calm pure heavens o'er us. Smile blessings on our heads; Hope, like an eagle hovers Above tho way we go; And the shield of Patieuco covers Our hearts from every foo. Forward! let none now faiter The glorious end is near. When temple, throne and alur Shall fall and disappear: Truth, born of heaven, shall guide u To his own happy land; And evermore beside us. Freedom and Love Bhall stand. Forward! as near and noarer We draw unto our rest, The light of joy shines clearer In every faithful breast; The past hath ceased to bind u. Its chains are hurled away. And the deep gloom behind us Melts in the dawning day. The Printer's Hoar of Peace. Kuow ye the Printer's hour of peace? Know ye an hour more fraught with joy, Than ever felt the ma id of Greose, When kiss'd by Venus' am'rous boy? 'Tis not ujen round the mazy case. His nimble fingers kiss tho type, Nor is it when with lengthened faco Tho sturdy devil's tail he gripes. 'Tis not when news of dreadful note His columns a!l with minion fill; Tis not when brother printers quote The tffli sions of his stump-w orn quill. 'l is not when in Miss Fancy's glass Long Advertisements meets his eye, And seem to whisper as they pass, We'll grace your columns by.and-by." No reader no the Printer's hour, His hour of real sweet repose. Is not when by some magic power, His list of patrons daily grows- But oh, 'tis when the weather, clear, Or clad in rain, or hail, or vapor, He hears in accents soft and dear "I'vo come to pay you for the paprr!" A Tartar. On the last trip of a little coasting stea mer from the mouth of Bahokia to this port, the clerk, actuated by a spirit of dev iltry, hailed a gigantic flatboatman. Halloa,' cried the clerk, 'what port are you bound for?' Wheed Bush,' replied the boatman. -What are you loaded with?' continued the clerk. Hoop poles, empty barrels, staves and 'nips.' What sort of nips?' Tur-nips, darn you, can't you under stand English?' cried the boatman. The clerk immediately retired to attend to the duties of his office. That's not Me. The following anecdote of Mr. Morris the patentee of Haymarket Theatre, is related in a 'periodical of the present month: When his application respecting that Theatre was before the Court of Chan- cey, Mr. Morris was constantly in atten dance, awaiting Lor Elden's decision. Une day the register gave out "Ex parte ij orris. That's me!" exclaimed the managei jumping from his sent. Sir Samuel Rom ily immediately proceeded. This, my lord, is a poor lunatic." "That's not me! that's not me!" reiter ated Mr. Morris, and resumed his seat in an instant. CsT"I always think," said a reverend gentleman, "that a certain quantity of wine does a man no harm after dinner." ''Oh no, eir," replied the host "it is the uncer tain quantity that does the mischief." OT'-Remember the poor." Oh! yes, we all remember them; and many of us don't do any thing else. From the Gcrmanlown Telegraph. The Field Bean. I am sorry to see this article so little cultivated among our farmers, inasmuch aslhere are but few crops cultivated more lucrative probably, than the field bean. On light soils they always yield a remu nerating crop, and succeed generally far better, under every modification of season, than most productions. But little manure is required, as too affluent a supply of hu mus is liable to introduce a disproportion ate or morbid developement of haulm, which is by no means conducive to pro ductiveness as m all cases where the vines are excessive in their luxuriance, less weight of grain is invariably realised than where the stalks are not pampered to un due expansion. Plants which spring up fortuitously on compost heaps, rarely ma ture their seeds, or when they do, fail to realise the extravagant expectations their early precoiousness rarely fails to produce. I have found that by breaking up my sward lands which had, by long cropping in grass, become to far impoverished to grant a reasonable remuneration in that crop, and planting the field bean, with gypsum and house ashes in the hill, and a broad-cast application of the same, alter hoeing, I secured a fine preparation of the soil, for a crop of corn, and succeeds j much better on lands prepared, with onej half the manure, than cn sward lands freshly broken, or even on those cultiva ted with a manured crop of potatoes, the previous year. It is now generally con ceded that all leguminous plants abstract but little from the vitality of the soil, ex cept during the brief period in which they are engaged in elaborating the essential principles of the seed. '1 he large broad leaves of this species of vegetation, are so constituted by nature as to derive the greater portion of their nutriment from the atmposhere.and hence it is that the bean, when grown or pulled at the period of in florescence, tends rather to ameliorate than impoverish the soil. Beans are one of the best crops a farmer can raise on many ac counts, but the peculiar advantages attend ing their cultivation, farther than I have already stated them, need not be alluded to; they will naturally suggest themselves to every practical mind at all familiar with their specific habits, and modes of growth- A ntACTICAL FAKMER. Bald Eagle Farm, Bee. 12, 1819. Improvement. We are the friend of improvement in all that pertains to the practical application of the industrial arts, and especially to the laborious avocations of the farmer, who not unfrequently, is compelled to labor for a small reward, and to sink money where, by a judicious application of means he might secure wealth, at least a compe tency. There are some, however, among our farming friends, who contend . that the "improvements" of late so extensively in troduced in the farming art, are, after all, of little or no practical benefit or utility, and who still adhering, with the blind per versity of ignorance, to old and antiquated usages, reject all innovations as monoma nical and absurd. With such characters, we have no sy mpathy. V hy should there not be important and highly valua ble improvements in farming as well as in other practical arts? And why should the agriculturist refuse to avail himself of their advantages when they are brought home to him, as it were, and placed at his very door. To contend with, or attempt to convince people who are thus wilfully blind to their own interests, is an unplea sant and profitless labor. Their reforma tion must be left to the sure effects of time and progress to the inevitable develope ment ot light through the agency of that ever-restless and advancing spirit of lm provement which is slowly but surely pervading the world. Maine Cultivator. An Important Invention. The following communication, says the Washington Union, was handed to us by the author, Rufus Porter, Esq., who is well known to us as the former editor of the Scientific American, and a man well versed in a knowledge of the arts and in vention. He is man of superior iutelli-! gence and of great honesty of character, and we do not hesitate to say, that any fact stated upon his own knowledge may be relied upon implicitly: Messrs. Editors: lam authorized to announce the discovery and practical test of the most important scientilic invention ever yet produced or brought to light since the world has been habited by man an invention which must eventually, and al most immediately, produce an immense revolution in the commercial intercourse and business in general throughout the world; and, although it will break down and ruinjmany of the most important bran ches of business and avenues of wealth, with hundreds of wealthy corporations and business establishments, yet it will build up the sands of others, and contribute hun dreds of millions to the benefit of man kind, especially to the American commu nity. The first and main feature, and founda tion of this invention, and which at once opens a field for hundreds of other inven tion, is the discovery by Henry. M. Paine, Esq., of a ready and almost ex penseless mode of decomposing waler and reducing it to the gasceous state. By the simple operation of a very small machine, without galvanic batteries, or the consump tion" of metals of acids, and only the appli cation of less than one three-hundredth (1-300) part of one horse power, Mr. Paine produces 200 cubic feet of hydro- gen gas, and iw leet ot oxygen gas per hour. 1 ins quantity of these gases, (the actual cost of which is less than one cent) will furnish as much heat by combustion as 2000 feet of the ordinary coal gas, and sufficient to supply light equal to three hundred common lamps for ten hours; or to warm an ordinary dwelling house twelve hours, including the requisite heat for the kitchen; or to supph the requisite heat for one horse power of steam. This invention has been tested by six mouths operation, applied to the lighting of houses, and recently the applicability of these ga ses to the warming of houses has also been tested with perfectly satisfactory re sults. A steam engine furnace and parlor stove, both adapted to the burning of these gases have been invented, and measures taken for securing patents therefor. .Mr. Paine has one of his machines, new and elegant, now in full operation and publicly exhibited, and may be expected to exhibit the same in this city within twenty days. The onlv actual expenses of warm in r houses bv this apparatus is that of winding up a weight (like the wind ing up of a clock) once a day; and the heat produced may be as easily graduated and regulated as the flame of a common gas-burner. No smoke whatever is pro duced, but a very small quantity of steam, sufficient to supply the requisite moisture to the atmosphere. In its application to the production of steam power, it will re duce the expense thereof to the mere wear of machinery, and will immediately pro duce a demand for steam engines, and in duce the demand for thousands of manu facturing mills, reduce the expenses of travelling, and increase the demand for agricultural produce, while it ruins the coal and gas business, and such manufac turing establishments as depend on monop oly and high prices. Phis invention moreover removes completely the only obstacles which have hitherto existed to aerial navigation the difficulty of procu ring hydrogen gas, and earn ing a supply of fuel; and it may now be considcrea as a matter ot tolerable certainty that men will be seen swmly and safely soaring in various directions before the first of May next, lhese facts being of immense im portance should no longer be withheld; ami I therefore would avail myself of your widely circulating journal to present them to the public. 1 ours, respectfully, R. PORTER. Washington, Dec. 22, 1849. Curious Reading. A droll fellow was asked bv an old lady to read the Newspaper, and taking it up, began as follows: "Last night yesterday morning about two o'clock in the afternoon before break fast, a hungry boy about forty years old, bought a tip custard for a levy, and threw it through a brick wall nine feet thick, and jumping over it broke his ankle right off above the knee, fell into a dry mill pond and was drowned. About forty years after that on the same day, an old cat had nine turkev sroblers. a biirh wind blew. Yankee Doodle on a frying pan, and. knocked the old Dutch churn down and killed an old sow and two dead pigs at Bosting, where a deaf and dumb man was talking French to his aunt-Peter." The old lady, taking a long breath, ex claimed "Du tell!" Strange Promise of Marriage. The fellowing ridiculous and degrading contrivance was actually employed at a recent parliamentary election in England: A young gentleman of distinguished family and large wealth stood for the bor ough of Reading, and one of his electio neering expedients was a promise to thir teen hundred electors that he would marry one of their daughters. The town con tains a population of thirty thousand, and it was calculated that such a promise would command the votes of a sufficient number to turn the scale in favor of the promiser. We regret to say that the calculation proved sound. At the hustings, Mr. Standford, being twitted with this promise by his opponent, exclaimed in the face of the assembled crowd, 4and I 11 do it yet He was returned by a large majority." A Declaration of Trincinlcs. A North Carolina political editor, who is determined that his' readers shall not"go it blind," has published a declaration of principles that he intends to support.
