3? CD W VX THE Wnfp.POOR-WILL BY OEOROE P. MORRIS. Why doit thoo come at let of iun, These pensive word to say? Why whip poor Will? What hai he done.' And who U Will, I pray? Why come from yon leaf-shaded hill, A suppliant at my door? Why ask of me to whip poor Will? And ia Will really pour? If poverty's his crime, let mirth From out his heart be driven; That is the deadliest sin on earth. And never is forgiven! Art Will himself 7 It must be so I learn it from thy moan. For none can feel another's woe As deeply as his own. Yet wherefore strain thy tiny throat While other birds repose7 What means thy melancholy note? The mystery disclose. Still "Whip poor Willi" Art thou a spiite, From unknown regions sent. To wander in the gloom of night, And ask for punishment? Is thine a conscience sore beset With guilt or, what is worse. Hast thou to meet writs, duns aud debt, No money in thy purse? If this be thy hard fate indeed. Ah, well mayst thou repine: The sympathy I give I need The poet's doom is thine. Art thou a lover, Will? Hast proved Tha fairest can deceive? Thine is the lot of all who've loved Since Adam wedded Eve. lUst'trusted in a friend and teen No friend was he in need? A common error men still lean Upon as irail a reed. Hist thou, in seeking wealth or tm, A crown of brambles wo.i? O'ei all the earth ti just the same With every mother's sort! Hast found the world a Babel wide, Where man to mammon stoops? Where flourish arrogance aud pride, While modt merit droops? What, none of these? Then whence thy pain, To guess it who's the skill? Fray have the kindness to explain Why 1 shouid whip poor Willi L'ost merely ask tby just dosert? What, not another word? Fuck to the woods again unhurt I will not harm thee, bird! But treat th.ee kindly for my nerve, Like thine, have penance done; "Treat every man a ho deserves, Whofthali cp9 wbSpp: r.g?"- None Vote -veil, poor Will not valueless This letson by thej given: ''Keep thine own counsel, and confess Thyself alone t-j heaven." Female EJacalion. "She has finished her education,"' said a friend. Finished her education? said we just as though a young lady's education was a stocking, or rather a bonnei, and now it was to be placed in a band-box, to be displayed to visitors and to be worn only on set occasions. We protest against the doing up and finishing off a young la dy's education with her teens, just at the time when she begins if ever she does be gin, to think. A young man has just ac quired atone and twenty the elements of education, and is prepared to study advan tageously according to his own discretion; but a j'oung lady has done finished the circle of her sciences is complete, and she i ready for any station in life that may be thrown in her way. Now why, in the name of common sense, may not a woman think; and if she think, why may she not study and acquire profitable food for thought? There is a lady lor instance, that ' finished her education" by having peculiarly good advantages at an early age. She is now a wife and mother of six chil dren. She plays well upon the piano, sings sweetly, but her husband, and ac tually does, put all the children to bed and has the care of them through the night; and, as for her table, the bread is perfectly execrable- to one who lias visited he grand mother's pantry; and the the coffee Oh! her coffee! it would cost her nothing less than her head if it reached the Grand Turk's palaceand yet for all this, the lady has a "finished education!" Shook Him. A city buck visited the Shakers at Lebanon, some time since, and as he was wandering through the village, ! encountered a stout, hearty specimen ol the sect, and thus accosted him: "Well. Broadbrim, are you much of a Shaker?" "!ay," said the other, "not overmuch, but 1 can do a little that way." So he seized the astonished man by the -elldr, and nearly shook him out of his boots. Clover Time of Sowing. To the Editor of the Ohio Cultivator The great consideration of the farmer should be to keep up and inciease the strength and fertility of his land. If this is nroDerlv attended to. it will constitute a deposite upon which he can freely draw without danger of having hia drafts protested- But this grand object is lost sight of by a large portion of the farmers, and consequently each succeeding crop taken from the land, leaves it worth less to the owner, with the certainty of yielding a j more scanty return to the tiller. Where the cultivation of grain is the ' principal object of the farmer, with out a corresponding amount of stock being kept to produce manure sufficient to keep up the soil, it becomes indispensably necessa ry to clover largely, and turn down a hea vy coat of vegetable matter. As a 'fertili ser, no crop is better adapted to a variety of soil, than clover, or a mixture of clover and timothy. Land not intended for the nlow for a season, should invariablv be 1 1 - ' well set with clover. I have never known a larm run uuwu, uiai was reguiariy ttuu- ed in clover. In regard to the best time for sowing clover, there is some diversity of opinion, and different results in practice. Much depends upon the season, and a time that may succeed best in one season, may ut terly fail in another. I have practiced fall sowing with the most complete success; and in order to gurad against contingencies would prefer sowing with a fall crop in September, or as late as the filth of Octo ber, but no later, a3 it requires a warm sun to grow, and become well set to protect it from the winter. There is no danger of its being hoven up when small; that never occurs until the roots become large, rail sotving has this advantage.it gives the clo ver a better start in the spring before be coming shaded by the growing crop and if it should fail, the ground can be re-sown in the spring. For spring1 sowing I consider the two last weeks in March the best time. If sown too early, it may sprout immediately and be killed in the cold weather that fol lows, if sown late, it is frequently killed by drought. The best signs to sow in, is when the ground is hoven up, so as to al low the seed to settle in tne openings. have cenerallv found from seven to eight pounds of seed to the acre sufficient. intimately connected witli -clover is the use of plaster, upon which 1 may give my experience and observations here after. 1). YAXT. Boliver, O. 1850. To Plow in CloTer, &e i Those who have undertaken to plow in t green crops, know the difficulty frequent ; ly attending the operation, on account of ; the liability of the plow t.o be clogged, and the vegetable matter being left uncovered. ; A correspondent of the . American Fat mer i gives the following description of a con jtnvance he has adopted, which is stated ! to answer the purpose completly: Saw j off" a block from some hard, durable, and I heavy wood; say about ten inches long, iand three and a half or four inches in di ! ameter; then take a trace chain, about 'three feet long, confine one end to in the the block, by driving a small staple end, having first passed the staple through an end link of the chain. Point the other end of the block, and attach a larger chain in tne same manner to that. lie the snort i chain (attached to the square end of the block) to the rod which passes through the mould-board and learn of the plow, by wrapping it around thu beam at that place drop the block in the bottom of a furrow' whi.ch has been already opened, of course on the the mould-buard side.diaw up the long cha:n,and attach that to the clevis pin or clevis; bj sure that you have bjlh chains just tight enough to permit the block to lie in tho furrow allow no slack. The short chain gathers the clover, weeds. &c, and dends them down, the weight of the plow prevents ih chain lvom rising, and the plow laps the dirt over the weeds, while thoy are in a recumbent position. 1 am this day turning under weeds as high as the heads of the plowmen, who are alir.ost wholly concealed. A friend of ours told us the other even ing that he had lately encountered a cu rious specimen of a 1'ankee Picture-Ex. hibitor in a town of the far West. Among his collection was a picture of "Daniel in the den of Lions," and one of his several minute illustrations to the audience struck Ym as somewhat unique: "You see," said he, "when you look at that fellow in the red cloak, which is Daniel, that he don't care a grass farthin' for tho lion, an by looki'n dust you'll perceive that the lion don't care a tin ker's d n for him.'1' The last idea never struk us before as a very remarkable part of the miracle! Don't say you will become rich till you have asked your wife. Of all spend thrifts that nature ever invented, a though lless woman is the most so. Wo care not how much money a man may make, if his wife does not second his endeavors, uc is just as sure 01 dying poor as if he kept a grocery store and trusted body. every j Half Price. An Irishman, just arrnved i in London, saw in a shopkeeper's win dow: "This superior blanket for half price. as it wras tne very article lie wanted, he quickly walked in and inqui red the price of it. Five shillings," re plied the seller. "Cheap enough too, and I will buy it," says Pat; and putting it under his arm he laid down half a crown, and was taking his leavewhen the shop keeper leaped over the counter and in terrupted his passage, demanding two shillings and sixpence more. "Didn't you auvertise the blanket for half price? said the Hibernian; "and didn't vou say the price was five shillings? consequently half price is the half of that, so the d 1 burn mj'self and the blanket if I gire up ray bargain." Finally both parties ad- journcd to Bow street; when ater a pa tient examination before a magistrate, Pat was permitted to retain his parchase, and the blanket seller warned never more to ticket his goods in the window for sale at half price. t-sTA. man is taller in the mornini? bv half an inch than he is at night.
