On the Banks of the Oconee.
On the banka ot the Oconee,
When the golden son was setting,
'Neath the lonesome waring boughs,
I was lingering, forgetting
Cares and merriments of earth i
The exorcist was a maiden,
Singing some old fairy song,
With a magic thesis laden.
Brightly rolled the river onward
To the wide arms of the ocean i
How entrancing on the bank
Was the willow's waring motion.
On each hand old storied hills
Rose in all their primal glory,
In the mind reviewing scenes
And haunts of Indian story.
Like the scenes In fairy land,
Seemed the earth in sunset glowing;
Phoebus o'er the hills and stream,
A renascent beauty throwing.
O! 'twns lovely; but wliat made
The fair scene so sweet to me
Was the brown-eyed little beauty,
On the banks of Oconee.

O list recently locait

The following curious adventure
happened in Bath, in the year 179—,
and the lady who narrated it to
the writer was in those days a young
girl staying in the house. It was in
the palmy days of Bath, when that
now fallen city rivalled London in
brilliancy and dissipation, and when
all the rich, the gay, and the high
born of England congregated there
in the season and graced the balls
and assemblies:
Mrs. R , once the bell of the
Court of George III, but at this pe
riod gradually retiring from general
society, possessed one of the largest
of the old houses, and gave in
entertainments which were the
most popular of the day. She was
celebrated for three things (once for
four, but the fourth—her beauty—
was of the days gone by;) these
things were, her fascination, her
benevolence, and—a set of the most
perfect and matchless amethysts.
Her bouse contained tapestried
chambers. The walls of the one in
which she slept were huug around
with designs from heathen mythol
ogy, and the finest piece in the room
was that which hung over her dress
ing table.
table. He took off his coat, and
one by one, he secured the jewels
beneath his waistcoat What would
be his next move? Would it be
to her bedside, or to the door, or
window ? He turned, and ap
proached her bedside; but by that
time she had seen enough, and,
again closing her eyes, resigned her
self to the providence whose pro
tection she had just been craving.
The man was her own coachman.
Apparently satisfied by a brief
glance nndec his dark lantern that
he had notdisturbed her, he quietly
unlocked her door and left her.
For two' hours—they must have
seemed two days—she allowed the
house to remain unalarmed, her
only movement having been to re
lock the door which her living
Phoebus had left ajar. At seven in
the morning she rang her bell, and
ordered the carriage round immes
diately after breakfast. All this
was according to her usual habits.
On the box was a man who had cost
her a night’s rest, and most proba
bly all her jewels. However, she
drove off: she went straight to the
house of a magistrate.
“ Seize my coachman,” said she
“ secure him, and search him
have been robbed, and I can
hardly think he has had time to
disencumber himself of the jewels
he has taken from me."
She was obeyed, and she was
right; the amethysts were still
about him, and he gave himself up
without a struggle. All he said
was: “I wish now I had killed
her. I meant to do it; only she
was so good, I hadn’t the heart”
It is most probable that, after this
exciting episode, the tapestry of that
bed-chamber was remorselessly con
demued, and the eyeless Phoebus
consigned to oblivion

dreary-looking tenement house, and
entering she passed up the narrow
staircase, dismal and unsafe, and
rapped gently upon the door of one
of tbe rooms.
“Come in,” a feeble voice re
sponded.
“ Why, Mrs. Galt,” said Fanny,
as she obeyed the invitation, “ are
you alone ?”
“ Yes, dear Miss Fanny,’ replied
the invalid, for such she was, sadly,
“ I am alone, and am compelled to
remain alone the greater part of the
time. Joliuny must go out to sell

she added, brightening up, “ I get

“ But if you should happen to be

ly, gazing upon the wasted cheek,
on which consumption’s hectic seal
was plainly visible.
“ God would take care of me,”
said Mrs. Galt, looking upward rev

Fanny’s tears were flowing, but
she took her basket and spread its

way to cultivate corn in tbe early part

has used the necessary psecautims in
having the ground thoroughly and
deeply broken before planting eon»-

taken to plant with judgment. Heavy
rains have settled the earth on the
corn since planting* and the sooner a

chances for a good and regular stand

But four formers seem to appreciate
the leading of the com crop, they
plow and thin out the com to a stand
with flat pointed sticks, but never hoe.
Hoeing, I consider after the first plow
ing, as useful as any working, but my
method of hoeing is very different from
those who hoe. This {hoeing or scrap

cotton, I consider as so much labor
thrown away, excepting for tbe- wood*
or young grass taut may be destroyed,
but as for benefiting the com, it does
no good. My system is to chop into

the plow has not loosened deeply, so as

grains and cotton, which would
keep the lands from rusting by in

lands are plentiful, one year’s rest

Indian Corn Hay.
The Colt.
Ex-Gov. Brown writes to Gen.
Blade of Floyd, the following details
of his mode of raising hay from drilled
com, which we copy from foe Rome
Southerner. Prof. Rutherford, and
others, in this vicinity have punned
A well known “ liorsist” of Fay
ette, writes to us as follows on the
colt subject: “■ To make a good
horse, proper care should be taken
of the colt, after taken from, tbe
dqna, until it arrives at maturity,
While nature is developing the horse
he needs the greatest care, if ft is
intends to make him a No, one
horse. Many farmers let the colt
shift for, liiatei^f f at: this seaepn of,
the ye*r, because the grass is green.
This is a great mistake. A colt
will be much better if he can have
as much shelled oats- as he Cun eat
It will make him grow and devel
op earlier. He will grow to be a
finer'and better home. Ask pur
most successful breeders how they
manage, and they will say they
feed as much shelled oats as the
colt wants. We prefer oats to corn,
because it has all the fattening qual
ities of the latter and is a more
healthy food. Corn is too strong
food for colts—we mean to be fed
alone, or even with hay. To give
a colt one or two ears of com a da;
with its oats, is, wo think, rather an

dry enough to save well r and here is
the greatest difficulty about foe crop.
If the-weather should be showery about
the time you harvest it, it is very hard
to save it, and can only be done by
considerable attention, if you have
favorable spell of weather, there is no
difficulty.
Hie object of sowing ?o thick is to
make the stalks small, and to raise a
large quantity upon a small piece of
land. I have tried clover and different
grasses, but I can make more proven
der on one acre of Indian corn proper
ly cultivated, than I can on two acres
in grass, or other substitute.
After it is cut and cured, when you
go to use it, cut it up with a cutting
knife, and it is a great deal better than
common fodder, and it is indeed a
very nutritious food, of which your
horses and mules will be very fond.
I made last year nearly three tons of
good provender on a half acre of land
on my lot in the city of Atlanta. On
rich bottom land I could probably
have made a heavier yield, though I
msciurci my land well. It unneces
sary to dnfois every year, as the crop
is a very eshawting one. After I cut
foe crop, I sow down the ground early
in August in rye, at foe rate of about
three bushels to the acre, which makes
an excellent winter pasture for a cow
and calf. I can winter a cow and calf
and keep them in fine order on an acre
and a quarter of grooMt, that I sow on
my lot here each FaB in rye- I let
them run on it until the first of April
and then plow it up and plant it as di
rected above. In this way I get the

similar plan, with gratifying success.
It is a much cheaper and more satis
factory way to obtain forage than the
slow and tedious custom of pulling fod
der. Gov Brown says:
For years past I have each spring
planted a piece of land in Indian corn,
for the purpose of making hay or pro-
vender, which I find makes a very abun
dant yield, and pays better than any
other like quantity of land which I
cultivate My manner of cultivation
is this ; J first turn over foe land deep
with a two horse turning plow, I then
follow the two horse turning plow with
a two horse Murphy subsofier, and
break the land at least fifteen inches
When this is done take a small
plow and- run off the land in rows from
eighteen to twenty inches apart. I ma
nure heavily in these rows with lot
manure, when I have enough. If I
have not a sufficient quantity I use dis
solved bone or some other stimulating
fertiliser until’ I have foe land well ma
nured; I then sow common Indian
corn along in the rows at the rate of
at least five bushels to the acre, which
I cover by running a furrow on each
side with a small plow, which throws
up a little ridge upon the corn in foo
from the same piece ef land. If you
have a good piece of tolerably low bot
tom land and it would not probably be
necessary to plant quite so early in the
