A favourite Dialogue on the JJ aIU of Robert.
Hume, the Scott* I 1 oft.
All! what is there ill news ? speak,
Hobin Gray,
That thy blue bor net’s pluck’d o’er thy brow.
Oh ! sad news I have read—
R*bv Hums, man, is dead.
And the plowman weep* over his plow,
Well-a-day.
Is he gone then for aye, and for aye
Hobin Gray ?
No more sha I we list to his song t
Oh ; ho! cold as a clod
Underneath a green sod,
Poor Hobin they’ve lain a‘l along,
Wel!-a-d»y.
Adieu, then, the Forest and Hill,
Hobin Gray,
And Farewell the Valley and Grove ;
Why! the Fores! and Hill
And the Valleys ring s ill,
Still echo his Ditties of Dove,
Well-a-day.
The sad sound of F.cho I’ll shun,
Hi,bin Gray—
Its dying moans live on my mind;
Can you then ns you roam
From your Fore-father’s home,
Leave your Fore-father’s feelings behind,
Well-a-day.
Still the Hlack-Bird will sing on the Thom,
Hobin Gray,
And the I.ark early earn I on high;
Hut the lowly roof’d Swain,
As he scatters the grain,
Will chaunt Robin’s Song with a sigh,
Well-a-day.
Softly lie on his Bosom, the turf,
Hobin Gray,
Best his Ashes unniingled and pure ;
May the Tomb of his Urn
Caledonia adorn,
And his much lov’d remains rest secure,
Wi U-a-day.

The Earl of Peterborough could dictate
Idlers to nine amanuenses together, as says
Pope, 1 was assured by a gentleman who saw
him do it, when ambassador at Turin. He
walked round the room, and told each in his
turn what he was to write. One was, per
haps, a letter to the emperor; another, to
an old friend; a third to a mistress; a fourth
ton statesman ; and so on ; and yet he car
ried so many and such different connexions
in his head, ail at the same time.
A voluminous author was one dnv ex
patiating to (inn smi th, on the advantages
of employing an amanuenses, and thus sav
ing himself the trouble of uritting. “ How’
do you manage ii ?” said the doctor. “ W hy,’
replied the other, •• I walk about the room
anil dictate to a man who puts down very
correctly all that I say, so that 1 have no
thing more to do, than just to look over the
manuscript, and then send it to the press.”
Goi.iixmith was delighted with the informa
tion, and desired hi* friend to send the am
anuenses to him the next morning. The
scribe according waited upon the doctor,
placed himself at the table with the paper
before him, and his pen ready to catch the
oracle. Gomiswitii paced round and round
the room with great solemnity lor some time;
hot after rocking his brain to no effect, he
put his hand into his pocket, tookout a gui
nea, and giving it to the amanuenses, said, it
won’t do, my friend ; I find oiy hand must
go together."
LONGS AND SHORTS.
There were two barristers at the Irish
bar who formed a singular contrast in their
stature —Ninian Mahatty, Bsq. was as much
above the middle size, a» Mr. (Jollis was be
low it. When Lord H ‘dosdale was Lord
Chancellor of Ireland, these two gentlemen
elm iced to be retained in the same cause, a
short time after his lord-hip’s elevation, and
hi fore he was personally acquainted with
the Irish bar.— Mr. Uollis was opening the
motion when the lord i haucellnr observed
—“ Mr. Uollis, when a barristers addresses
the court he must stand.’ •I am standing
on the bench, mv lord said Collis. ‘lh, g a
thou-and pardons,’ said his lordship, some
what confused. * Sit down, Mr. Mahaftv,
*I a n sitting, iny Lord,* was the reply to
the confounded chancellor.
On this occasion a hamster then present
wrote the following epigram :
Mahafly and Collis, ill-paired in a case,
Representatives true of the rattling size ace i
To the heights of the law, though 1 hope
you will rise.
You will nevet be judges I’m sure of a (*)
size.
The Scotch bar had once to boast in Mr.
F.rskine, of C’ardrosa, of a pleader quite as
diminutive as Mr. Collis. lie had usually a
stool brought to him to stand upon when
addressing the court, w hich gave occasio
for a witty rival once to observe, that ‘ that
was one way of rising at the bar.’
A dandy black entered a book store
last week, and with a very consequential
air, inquired, “ Hut) you a tew quires of
letter pajier, of the very best rate, for a
gemtnan to write lub letters on ?”
•* Yes,” was the reply how many will
you have r” “ 1 %pose, (said he) my '
stay at de Spring may be ‘bout two or
tree week, tine me 'nough quires to
w rite four letter.”
At the Coronation, an old lady being
asked how she liked it, exclaimed that
she was highly gratified, and hoped to
see another soon!

AGRICULTURAL.
From a series of Essays published in
the »V. Hampshire Fair lot.
How pasture land shall be nianag
j ed, so as lo yield the greatest profit
! with the least expense, is a subject
that merits much consideration, Dis
fereiit inodes have been proposed and i
practised, and different people up- j
pear satisfied with the various me
thuds they have adopted. Some far- j
roers plow a portion of I heir pas- j
ture, plant it one year with corn, I
sow it the next wiib grain anil grass j
seed, and the third year turn it to 1
pasture again. To this practice i
there are objections, which, to me, I
appear insurmountable. The loss of
wood and limber, of which the fen
c>s are made to enclose it, is a real
injury to the farm. The labor that
is necessary to make the fence anti
raise the crop, is all wanted on the
field, and if expended there wou'd
raise more corn und grain than the
crops from the posture afford. If the
farmer puts no manure on the pas
ture, his two crops, instead of im
proving will deteriorate the soil ; ,
but if lie manures it, he will impo- j
verish Ins field whteli requires all he !
cun obtain. When the ground he has j
ploughed is again turned to pasture, j
it being softer and the feed sweeter |
than the other parts of the pasture i
(he cattle will eat the grass sn close ;
and tread the land so much, that in a I
few years it will be harder, and be
ing in some measure exhau>te*l by
the crops of corn nnd grain, will pro- !
duce IdVk than other parts of the pas- !
ture that have not been ploughed—,
at least this was (he case wi ll mine
on which, some years since, 1 made
several experiments.
’-ome farmers contend, that the |
most elf ettm I and certain method of
obtaining and preserving a good pas
ture, is to divide it into small lots,
from two to ten acres and turn the
cattle into them by rotation. That
by this means a much greater quan
tity of feed will be produced on the
same land is a fact which, I think,
cannot he denied. But will the pro
fit arising Mom that increase defray
the expense it occasions f As this is
a favorite project with some farmers,
and has been recommended hy wri
ters on agriculture, it is m died to
consideration. The first objection
w hich this plan presents, is the great
length of fence it requires. As the
division of the pisture is intended to
Ii permanent, the fences ought to be
substantial and dure hie—to make
them such, they should consist of
stonewall. 'Hie exp ose of build
ing those walls will be a heavy tax
upon the farmer—and if he should,
by this meins double the quantity of
feed in his pasture, 1 very much doubt
whether it would pay even ihe inter- j
est the wall would cost, and the an- !
nual expense of repairing it. But j
if these fences should not be of stone, j
they would require much wood and
timber to make ami repair th< m—a
quantity equal to the growth of a
considerable lot, The consumption
of those materials would prove a se
tt us loss, which few of our former* j
louid be ,r. Our timber a d our
wood are diminishing, but the neces- ;
sity fur (hem lo in ike and repair cur I
buildings and support our fires must
forever rentniu. There is a further
objection to this proj ct—in many
pastures (lie division cannot be made
sn as lo ulf it d »nt. r for the cattle in
each lot. In those lots where there
is no w iter wells must he d g und wa
ter drawn daily for the catile.or they .
must be drove to their usual wateriug
places, which will occasion a futther j
consumption of time. It appears to I
me that the expense attending this 1
plan will not only far exceed the sup- j
posed profit but will materially in- j
jure the field by depriving it of that
labor and impiovinient which it de
mands. Bui our inquiries ought not
j to extend still further—we should as
cer&u whether this increase of feed,
i even if it could be had with less ex
j peuse, is not in fact. »n apparent ra
i (her Ilian a real profit. hen the
! faun r turns his cattie into one of )
| these lots, the feed is high ar.d rank,
! and cattle for some tune will eat so
freely of it a* to injure them to a cer
tain extent. On tins subject 1 have
the declaration of a gentleman who
was one of the most respectable far
mers in New-England, and w ho own
ed a large tract of fine pasture. He
j informed me that, at a great expense,
\ he divided his pastare by stoue wails
into lot* of about ten acre*—that af
ter several year* trial, he found his
method wa* not beneficial—that if it
did not diminish, he w:t» certain it
did not increase, the quantity and
quality of his butter and ebeese, nr
make more and fatter beef than when
his pasture was undivided—and that
having made a full experiment, he
had removed the gates and bar* from
the several lots, and permitted hi*
cattle to feed them all when and
where they pleased.—My own limit
ed expeiience confirm* this state
ment. Horae years since 1 began to
divide my pasture; I fenced oft'one
lot of five acres, but boding the ex
pense so great 1 proceeded no further,
i found the feed on that lot, to which
1 d tl not admit the ealtle until it was
well grown, rendered the milk of my
cows more rancid, and that my oxen
and horse* did not thrive so well as
formerly—l therefore abandoned the
practice. But it i* eertainh very e
vident. and in some measure nece-sa
ry, that every farmer should have
two (insures, that he may separate
the calve* he raises ai d a por'ion of
his young stock freon hi* rows.
