Original. For the Journal. NIGHT Blessed be Ouil liir night I The time of quiet rest, the hour (or prayer, The angers watch.time, hour of calm delight, When earthly things grow Jim, and heaven more fair. Ohl in night's holy hours may strength be given To raise our hearts to heaven I To thy ford heart, 0 Night, Thou foldest safe the weary bird to rest; Thy grade fingers close the blosii.tus bright, The wandering bird thou biddest seek its nest; The dew-gemmed leaves hang tow, und all things sleep In silence calm and deep. Now sinks the light of day : From bill and vale the sunset splendor dies, From every cloud the glory fades away; And now the stars look forth with gentle eyes, And beam upon the earth with smiles of tore From their blue homes above. Now, as return. each star, Come back the earnest tho'ts dispelled by day, Earth's many care. seem trivial as they are, And thoughts of endless life the spirit away. Eternity ! thy solemn morning. roll Like billow. o'er the soul. Huntingdon, Nov. 4, 1836. For the Huntingdon Journal. TO MAGGY. Death. awful death, has drawn the veil That separates forever ; Between us and the silent dead There is no way, whatever. I saw her near the close of life, My lips began to quiver ; I little thought that I so soon Must part with her forever. Let us prepare to go that road That's traveled day by day, For soon our heads must he brought low, And here we cannot stay. Locust Hill, Nov. 8, '56, M. A. GRAY Agricultural. "110 Mat by Me plough would thriro, Ilimseff must either hold or drive." The Improvement of Grau Lands. in the improvement of grass lands. the first thing to be done is the removal of all stagnant water by means of thorough un der draining. Unless this is sccoingshed the best of cultivation, seeding and top. dressing, will fail to produce their full ef fect. When our meadows fail, from whatever cause, it is generally advisable to plow them tip in the fall. and cultivate them thoroughly fur two or three years, with corn, potatoes, or other root crops, manu ring them heavily, and seeding down a gain when the white daisy and other weeds have been destroyed, and the old turf has entirely disappeared. 11, however, the land is so low that it is not desiroble to cul tivate with other crops, it may be plowed up in August, and well worked with a cultivator, harrow, &c., till a fine 1 -seed bed" latistained, not forgetting to give it • good manure, if lung manure, plow it in ; if well decomposed which is the best, epigldo it on the furrows, harrow and culti• vsfte till It is thoroughly incorporated with the moil. About the first of : , eptember, sow with artificial grasses. and be not spa ring of the Nerd; half a bushel of timothy ■nd hull a bushel of red top or other gras ses in proportion is none too much. Gen erally, by so doing, a fair crop of good hay is obtained the next season. This method of re stocking worn out meadms a has been practiced with much success by many ex cellent farmers in New England. some recommend sowing clover with the timo thy and red-tod, in the fall, but we should be inclined to fear it would seldom survive our hard winters; unless, indeed, it were sown quite early, say in July or first of August. We have seen meadows greatly impro• ved by simply ecarritying the award in the fall by means of a heavy harrow, and then sowing from eight to sixtern quarts of timothy, red-top and rye gross set do, equal parts, to the acre. In the case alluded to, heavy rains followed immediate!) after the sowing, and the seed tva not harrowed in at all, but generally it would be will to co ver theta slightly with a light hero v. A good coat of compost spread on the Ewald tefore the tint harrowing would be of much benefit. The best time to topidr , ss all meadows that are not of too. light or porous it n is in the fall. In England nothing was more common, twenty years ego, than to make compost with barn-yard manure and headlands, and after it was well decom posed, to cart it on to the meadows during the winter months. The effect was very beneficial. Unmixed manure was seldom used. biller the introduction of Peruvian Guano, however, the practice of compost. ing old headlands has, to some extent, giv en way to top-dressoig with light artificial manure. Guano gives a better immediate atm, at a much less cost; but whether it u ultimately more profitable is an open question. With boy at from $l5 to CO per ton, there can be no doubt that a judt eh us application of good Peruvian guano, is the fall, or very early in the spring, will ipso sufficient increase, for a taw years it least, to pay for the guano and have a reasonaWe profit. The irinstant expatia tion of hay draws heavily on the soil for potash, and as guano contains very little potash, (not MOIP than two per cent.) it may reasonably be auppoto.d that to 'non tire with guano alone will noun leave the soil deficient of available potash. If such be the case, an application of wood ashes would supply the deficioney.—Gennessce TM T. Southern View of Thanksgiving in the Northern States.
