I HAVE BEEN KIND TO OTHERS.
I have been kind to others—
I’ve shared what I possess’d,
Whene’er I’ve seen the humble poor,
And made the wretched bless’d.
. Eyes that were dim by weeping,
Havo sparkled when I came—
And hearts have leap’d again for joy,
* Scathed by Affliction’s flame.
I have been kind to others—
I have listen’d to their grief.
Till the deep fount within was stirr’d,
I ran to give relief.
The beggar and the orphan—
The humble and the sad—
What pleasure it has given mo
To see their spirits glad.
Ihave been kind toothers—
Alas that I should feel
The influence of a churlish heart,
That will too harshly deal.
The favors are forgotten
Since prosperous days have dawn’d—
Who wept warm tears of gratitude
The generous heart has scorn’d.
I have been kind to others—
But who is kind to me ?
The scornful look—tlio air of pride—
It gives me pain to see.
Tho steel’d and selfish bosom
To pity will not move—,
It pines amid a world of bliss,
And hates when all is love.
I havo been kind to others—
And if good Heaven sustain,
. A thousand hearts shall yet rejoice.
Forgetting all their pain.
In doing good, and blessing
The humble and the weak,
I shall devote tny hand and purse—
No greater joy I seek.
severance, and the science of the owners
to render the whole tract productive.—
There is a substratum • of limestone, cal
careous and argillaceous marl occupying
more than two-thirds the area ofthe whole
county, cither rising to the surface or but
a few feet below, easily accessible, which
when applied to the vegetable mould ren-
der@ it highly’ fertile. The east side of
Hint river is unquestionably the most fer
tile, and directly on the river.are many
fine tracts of alluvium, which are abund
antly charged with lime, being ot> beds
of argillaceous marl, which only’ require
proper cultivation to render them as pro
ductive as any lands in the Stale. Many
require slight embankments and,ditching;
but these could be done at trifliug expense
in this country.
About three miie3 north ol Bainbridge,
the soil assumes a dark brown color. On
analysis, I find it contains all the ingredi
ents of a proper soil. This tract is near a
lagoon, whose bottom and sides are com
posed of argillaceous marl of a dark blue
color, which is here in quantity, and would
prove a valuable application to the sandy
land ic the vicinity. The land in and a-
round Bainbridge, is for the most part
poor, consisting of silicious sand, but
might be much improved by the appliea-
THE RIGHT SORT OF STUFF.
Some fifteen years ago two strangers met
on Charlestown' bridge. One was a
young man fresh and green from the
country, with his wardrobe in a bundle
under his arm, nntl the other a resident
of the city. For some reason not easily
explained, they halted and held something
like the following conversation :
Country Lad—“Sir, do you know any
place where I can get any thing to do?
Citizen—“I don’t know that I do.—
What sort of employment are you seek
ing for?
^ Country Lad—“Well I am not partic
ular. I calculated on teaching school,
when 1 left home; but they told me back
here, that they thought I could’nt get one
about here. Do you know of any stable
where they want a hand?”
Finding the countryman was ready for
any thing in the way of work, the geritle-

GEOLOGICAL AND AGRICUTURAL
SURVEY OF THE SEVERAL COUN
TIES OF THE STATE.
In 1836, the Legislature, among other
objects of internal improvement, author
ised a Geological and Agricultural Survey
of the State, and appropriated $10,000
for the purchase of instruments and com
mencement of tho work. It was com
menced in January, 1837. and continued
unremittingly until, 1341. During that
period one-half the State was thoroughly
examined, and a reconrioisance made of
many more counties. At the session in
the autumn of 1841. the Legislature re
fused to make any. farther appropriation,
and the work was susponded. A great
amount of information respecting the re
sources of the State was collected, com
prising six large volumes in manuscript,
from which a consolidated report was pre
pared for the press, and still remains in
manuscript, waiting for an- appropriation
from the Legislature to defray the expen
ses of priming; and probably will ever
remain as it is. unless there be more State
pride and public enterprise*infused into
lire government than have hitherto been
manifested.
I propose, in subsequent numbers of
this Agucullural paper, to give an abstract
of the survey, so : far at least ns it relates
to the agriculture, in the several counties
surveyed—the different soils, and. the
means which, those counties possess of
reclaiming and improying.lheir lands It
must be evident that I can give only an
abstract, as the interesting, matter .belongr
ingAo each county averages more than
fifty closely written page3 of manuscript.

State.
DECATUR COPJfXT. ' ,
This county, in a geological view, is the
most interesting in Georgia; but the lim
its of this communication preclude a de
scription at this time. I, shall ednfine my
remarks to that portion relative to agricul
ture-
In regard to soils, the county is much
diversified. A superficial travaller, in
passing from Baker county to Florida, on
th? mam road through Bainbridge, would
be ready to conclude that the whole coun
ty was composed ofharren sand, with al
ternate small green spots crowned with
stately oak, hickory, and chesnut, resem
bling the famous oases in the desert. But a
more thorough examination will bring to
light stores of resuscitating materials,
which only requiie the energy, the per-
county presents alight soil; especially
in the vicinity of the Ochlochney river;
much of it will not pay the expense of
clearing and cultivating. And the allu
vial grounds are but of little consequence,
for when cleared and exposed to the full
influence of a summer’s sun, they soon
loose their nutritive properties. The
composition is coarse silicious sand, and a
small porrion of light vegetable mould.
In the north-east part of the county, the
soil is of better quality than most of the
upper part
pine, oak and hickory. The soil, though
light, has a clay sub-soil, and a good pro
portion of vegetable matter. There are
many swamps, hammocks and low
grounds, which can be made highly pro
ductive under proper cultivation.
A tract oflanilowned by Messrs. Mc
Kinley and Barrow, at the extreme north
east of the countv, is as good as can be
found east of the Chattahoochee, in Deca
tur. The. soils are well proportioned
with clay, sand, lime, and vegetable de
composed mntler. There are various
descriptions of soils in the tract, but they

SOLEMN THOUGHT.
We see not in this life themiid of hu
man action. Their influence never dies.
In every widening circle it reaches be
yond the grave. The ball once in mo
tion rolls on and on, down the steeps of
eternity forever. The train is laid in
lime, the explosion is in eternity. We
talk much of the solemnity of dying.—
With hushed voice and almost pulseless
heart, we gaze upon the pallid cheek, the
the quivering lip, and heaving bosom of a
dying friend. It is a solemn scene. But
let ns think more of the solemnities of the
living. Death removes us from this to
i eternal world. Time determines
hat shall be our condition in that world:
Every morning as we go forth to act, we
lay the mouldering hand on our destiny;
and every evening when we have done:
we have left a deathless impress Upon our
character. We touch not a wire but vi
brates in eternily. Not a voice but re
ports at the throne of God. Our charac
ters will attend us through eternity. If
good, they will follow us like friendly
ngels, through our lives, shed light in
out graves, and illuminate our immortali
ty. If bad, they must acccompany us
life, haunt us m death, and torment us
through eternity. Let youth, especially,
think of these tilings, and regulate their
conduct accordingly: let every one re
member, that in this world, where char
acter is in its formation slate, it is a seri J
ous thing to speak, to think, to act.
MAKING PORK.
Making pork is one of the most essen
tial interests ol the farmer, and may be
made one of the most profitable. We
question, however, whether, as generally
conducted, much money is made by feed
ing swine, and the reasons are plain. In
the first place, but little attention, if any,
is paid to the kind of hog used for feed
ing. It is enough if the animal, caught
and caged in the pen, is a hog; the fact
that a given quantity of food fed to some
breeds, will make nearly or quite as much
again pork as when fed to other breeds,
tity of roots and grain is thus annually
wasted. In the second place, the mode
llie Quaker mildly said, “ The Lord pul
the in a better mind friend.” Overcome
by the meekness of the reproof, the man
descended the stairs, and taking the Qua
ker by the hand asked his pardon and
begged to be informed by what means he
had acquired so much self control.” “I
will tell thee.-fiiend,” replied the Quaker.
“Having observed that angry persons
commonly speak in a loud ami linistrous
manner, I resolved to accustom my

MARIE ANTOINETTE.
This beautiful and unfortunate Queen
of France, was beheaded on the -lCtb of
October, 1793, at. Pari?, under circum
stances of great brutality. Her inaugu
ration was no less tragic than her exit.—
At the fire-works exhibited in Paris, A-
pril 21, 1770: in honor ofhermarriage with
the Dauphin (afterwards, Louis XVI.)
the streets were so crowded with people,
that in their panic they trampled on one
another, till they, lay in heaps, while a
scaffold overhangingthe river broke down
and som^ hundreds were drbwuetfc ■ Near
d thousand persons lost their lives. .

Then joining the hands of the Queen
and Infante, and taking his crazier,- the

voice—

thriving state. Not half fattened at one
time, and then allowed to fall away until
they are miserably poor; but kept con
stantly irnprovingfrom the time they leave
the sow until they ale ready for slaughter
ing. It takes a much larger amount of
food to raise an animal of any kind allow
ed to become poor, than to keep one Con
stantly thriving. Again, the time alloted
to feeding, is usually too limited ; good
firm heavy pork cannot be made, no mat
ter what may be the feed used, shot t of
three or four,months. Hogs may be puf
fed out, and made to look pretty fair, but
their meat will not be hard and firm, and
will be affected with the complaint called
shrinking in the pot. Hogs latteii much
faster in moderate weather, than in se
vere cold weather ; and hence the process
of fattening-should commence as early as
the food to be used can be had: After
ihe process of feeding begins, see that the
hogs have enough; lo suppose that a
squealing, ravening hog will fatten, is a
mistake,- but unfortunately a common one.
Farmers in general miss a large part
of the profits that might be made from
feeding pork, by not paying attention to
the making of manure from the swine.—
For corn, a variety of experiments has
convinced us there is no manure that can
be compared. with that ofthe pig; and
the farmer who permits any of this to be
wasted, or does not give the animal an
opportunity of c&nvertingas much mould,
vegetable matter &c. into as much, ma
nure as can be done, is a great loser in
the end. Some able farmers have esti
mated that the manure made by a lot of
pigs, where the proper materials are pro
vided, fully pay the expense of feeding;
but there is no doubt if 'they did not do
this, they will by fermenting the most en
riching composts for crops, add essential
ly to the ultimate profits of the farmer.—
To make good pork, a hog should not be
less than fifteen months obi, kept constant
ly thriving, not have a yard as large as the
farm oi*lhe highway, and he fed‘on‘ good'
food not les3 than three months.
