PARODY ON "OLD ttBIMES.”
BY A. GRINDSTONE.
Ola Brindle’s dead, that good old cow,
fte ne’er shall see her more,
She bad a pair of legs behind,
A pair of legs before
Oh! she was gentle as a dove,
And knew no base design,
She bad two horns her head above.
Like any other kine.
Her beauty, hid from public gaze,
She never brought to view,
Never made a noise on rainy days,
As other cattle do.
In winter she was fed on hay,
We cut the fodder fine;
She gave eight quarts of milk a day,
On Sunday she gave nine.
And just at sunset every night
She came home without fail;
She never felt disposed to fight,
And ne’er kicked o’er the pail.
She sought her friends, mid other cows,
With whom she won esteem;
She never kicked up any rows.
But always gave good cream
Oh! she was generous to a fault,
Betrayed no idle fears,
She never yet, refused salt.
She wore a pairof ears.
She much by nature was endowed,
Thought thorns her beset,
And all the other cattle bowed
Whenever her they met.
And now she's gone to that long home,
We mourn, and ever shall,
For every body said she was
A fine old tnimal.
Household Service of the Dog.— “l say, stran
ger,” said a cottage urchin to a Yankee pedlar,
“don’t you whistle that ere dog away.”
“Why he aiitt no use now. he’s so ugly,”
“O, but he save heaps of work.”
“How?”
“Why he always licks the plates and dishes
so clean that they never want washing; and
mammy says she wouldn’t part w ith him no
how. for our-uew dog aint got use to mustard
yet.”
Ladies Fashions.— ln Connecticut tn former
limes, they had their hair tied so tight upon
the back part of their heads, that it drew their
lips apart so much they could not get them
sufficiently near together to kiss their lovers
without loosing the cord.— Saturday Chron
icle.
A SIMILE.
Quoth Tom to Bet, “I’ve thump’d my brain
And hour and above,
And for my life I cannot find
A smile for love.”
“La what a dolt! sir, love is like
The measles, or being hung;
Folks never have it twice., you know,
And always catch it young.”
“Mr. Timms,” said a wag, “how do you
keep your books?” “Oh! by double entry”
“Double entry, how’s that?” “Oh? easy
enough, I make one entry and my partner
makes another.”
An odd sort of a genius having stepped into
a mill, was looking with apparent astonishment
at the rotary movements of the machinery,
when the miller thinking to quiz him, asked
if he had heard the news? “Net’s I know on,”
said Jonathan. —“what is it?’? “Why,” re
plied the miller, “they say the devil is dead.”
“By jings!” he exclaimed, “is he? Who tends
the mill then?”
An old lady who had ambitious views for her
husband—and was much mortified that when
he was elected to the House of Representatives
he never made a speech —mixed a gill of yeast
with his gin bitters in the morning in order to
make him rise when he went to the Hall.
Love.— A gentleman in England was once
smitten with the charms of a lady who was
deaf and dumb, and was an instructress in an
institution for the relief of that unfortunate
class. Not being able to communicate his
wishes to the fair one tn any other way, he
entered the institution as one deaf and dumb,
learned their manner of expressing themselves,
gained the heart of his fair instructress and in
six months led her to the alter. Her Priest
handed him a paper to sign on which was
written “Do you promise to take this women
to be your true and lawful wife,” &c. wh«n to
the astonishment of the company, hedistinct'y
answered I do.” An explanation took place;
the ceremony went on.
- ■
Damages and Repairs.— “ Hall >, Sharp.”said
Pop, meeting fl|,n the other day in the street,
“you hopf fe > my boy, what’s the matter with
you!”
“O, I had my feet crushed through the
carelessness of a conductor the other day,
btween the railroad cars—'hat’s all.”
“And don’t you mean to sue for damages?”
“Damages? no, no—l have had damages
mough from them already—had’t I better sue
or repairs?”
High flown words.— The following speci
men is about equal to any thing put forth late
ly. An English tailor stuck up over his door:
“Microcosms habiliments fashionably fabri
cated, invisibly renovated, metamorphosed and
depurated, by Wayte, cosmoplitan.”
Clean Butter.— ls that clean butter?” said
Jim to a countryman, who had a wagon full
of butter for sale •‘Guess it ought to be,”
replied the countrymen, “it took the old woman
and three of the boys all night to pick the hairs
out on’t.
“Do vou snore, Abel Adams?” “No,
Seth Jefferson, [do naver snore.” “IFw do
you know, Abel?” “Because the other day
I laid awake the whole night on purpose to
see.”

Dreams.— T» dieatn and to remember your
dream is a forerunner that you were net awake,
nor very sound asleep, when you dreamed.
To tell your dreams, prognosticates that you
might be better employed.
For a young lady to dream very particularly
of any certain young gentleman: fortelis that
she purchased her last hat to attract his at
tention.
To dream of happiness, shows that you w ill
probably be disappointed when you awake.

It is highly important that the seed corn
shoud be selected from the best samples which
can be obtained. The reason why this prac
tice is recommended is this: the offspring of
vegetables as well as animals will, m a great
measure partake ol the goo.l or bad qualities
of the parent—The following directions on
this subject are from the pen of Joseph Coop
er, Esq., of Brunswick, New Jersey.
“When the first ears are ripe enough for
seed, gather a sufficient quantity for early corn
or replanting; and at the time von would
wish your com to be ripe generally, gather a.
sufficient quantity for planting the next year,
having a particular cure to take it from the
stalks which are large at bottom, of a regular
taper, not. over tall, the cars set low, and con
taining the greatest number of good sizeable
ears of the best quality; let it dry speedily;
and from the corn gathered as last described,
plant your main crop, and if any hills should
be missi; g, replant from that which was first
gathered, which will cause the crop to ripen
more regularly than common, which is a great
benefit.—The above mentioned plan I have
practised many years and am satisfied it has
increased the quality of my crops beyond what
any person would imagine who had not tried
the experiment.”
Dr. Dean observed that “some recommend
gathering seed corn before the time of harvest,
being the ears that first ripen. But 1 think it
would be better to mark them and let them re
main on the stalks until they become sapless.
—Whenever they are taken in, they should
• be hung up by the husks, in a dry place, secure
1 from early frost; and they will be so hardened
j as to be in tjodanger from the frost in winter,”
Snia.il » arms.
I There is a great mistake amongst farmers
j—And that is this, they covet too much land.
I Almost all our farms, are prob biy from four
jto ten times too large. A farmer never feels
I that he has got enough. He adds field to fi Id,
| does not half subdue or manure wh it he has
! got, and still wants more. One of the most
productive and profitable farms I ever saw
contained but fourteen acres. It was very
much subdued, improved and manured; and
the owner was called a very thrifty, if not. a
rich man, while his neighbor who skims over
three hundred acres, and works lull as hard,
grows poor. By proper management I am
satisfied every acre of land which is fit to raise
corn upon can be made to yield one hundred
bushels to the acre. Is it not better to put the
labor and care upon it, and raise one hundr; d
bushels, than to spread the same over four
acres, and thus drive away three or four of
your sons to the west? As things now are,
what is the process? I will tell you. A man
owns one of our large farms. It is paid for.
He raises up a large family The girls are
married off, and he gives each one her portion.
He himself dies, and his farm falls to his five
sous. Oie of his five sons taker the farm,
and agrees to pay the other sons the shares.
They go off to the west and return no more.
He undertakes by economy a.id industry to
keep it aud send a fourth of its value to the
west. By and by, he finds he can’t do it as
fast as he agreed to. He goes to the Life In
sttrance Company, or some where else, mort
gages his farm, and starts anew to pay for it.
All his life he toils, pays interest, thinks the
farmer has a very hard row to hoe, and it is
not till near the close of his life that he gets
free from debt. When he dies the same pro
cess has to be gone over again, and every gen
eration that goes, we send four fifths of the
value of our lands after them. Now this is
poor policy; and I wonder that our firms ar
in any tolerable condition; for their worth
many times over has been se it away’ to the
west. If, instead of this our farmers would
divide up their farms and make each acre
yield all it can, our towns would not have th<
appearance of age aud decay; which many of
them have.
I have noticed that men as they grow old
seem to want more land; and seldom do you
find a man who feels he has enough. I know
they talk of the fertility of the west, a d the
beautiful land to be found there. Adi know
too, that a young num going out there, if he
does mt die under it, will in a few years be
come thrifty.—And why? The process is
easily described. He goes into the wilderness
purchases the land, lives in his log cabin,
sleeps on the floor,or more likely on the ground,
eats upon a slab pinned up into the logs, and
it would be wonderful indeed if he did not gain
property. And so would he here. Let a
young man take the poorest farm you can name,
and labor on it as hard, and live just as he does
at the west for fifteen years and he will be rich
here. It is not so much the land that makes
tne difference, as the maimer of Jiving between
the west and the east. I was struck while
riding in the stage in listening to the conversa
tion between two farmers, the one from Idin
ois, and the other from the state of Maine.—
The western man was describing the fertility
of the soil, contrasting it with New’ England.
‘Why how much corn can you raise to the
acre?’ says our farmer from Maine. ‘I can
raise all of 70 bushels with ease.” ‘And how
much do you get a bush. I?’ ‘Nine pence a
bushel at my door’ ‘Well,’ says the Maine
farmer, I can raise 300 bushels of potatoes on
my land, and get twenty cents a bushel at mv
door.’ ‘Ay, you have to dig them.’ ‘True,
and don’t you have to pick and shell your corn,
and after all get but twelve and a half cents
per bushel, and only seventy bushels on an
acre.’ I repeat it, with the same economy
and the same industry, a young farmer here
can get rich as easy as at the vest. Whether
they will practice economy is more than i can
say. But let the fashion once prevail of hav.
ing smaller farms and having them better cul
tivated and you will be surrounded by your
own sous, instead of large landholders, and a
floating population, who hire themselves to
cultivate it, and who have no land,— Maine
Farmer.
To prepare orchard grass seed for sowing.—
The best seed is liable to fail, and this is the
only difficulty, of any consequence experienc
ed in the cultivation of this desirable and pro
ductive grass.
It is recommended to prepare the seed for
sowing, so that it will come up, and grow as
well as any other grass seed, to moisten the
seed before sowing bv spreading it, not very
thin, on a floor, and with a watering pot sprin
kle the seed pretty well, then mix all well to
gether with a rake; if it does not appear damp
enough next day, add more water, the seed
being light it will absorb a good deal; and im.
mediately before sowing, spread as much plas
ter of paris as will bring it to a good state.

The publication of the above, ns stated, v, ill
be commenced in July. The trifling delay that
took place in the regular publication of the
Marryatt Novels, and which w. s occasioned by
the frequent reprints of the early numbers, and
the uncommon severity of the winter, which
prevented the making and transporting of pa
per, need no.t be expected in uie Bulv. er No

very favorable reception that Marryatt would
meet with He thought the sale would be large

judge what number of copies it will be neces

In another point, the experience of the pre-

For publishing in the Town of Washington,
(Cleo.) a weekly periodical, to be devoted
to the cause of the Botanical System
of Medicine, entitled
Tho Botanical Hcvicw.
In launching forth upon the world, and as
suming the responsibility of such a design, we
are aware that many obstacles will naturally
arise as obstructions to this great undertaking;
and that we shall subject ourselves to the con
tempt of some, and the ridicule of others. But
believing as we do, that not only our own inter
est, as wc>l as the interest of many of our fellow
beings, is involved in the promulgation ofcor
' rect Knowle Ige upon the sulij. cl of this per
; scouted systim oi .Medical Reform, we are de
termined to bear the reproach that may be heap
ed upon us, looking lor a rewaid in the success
which may attend our exertions.
'1 his publication is designed for the dissem
ination of truth in support of the Botanical Sys
tem of Medicine; and such other information
upon the treatment and cure of diseases, as
may be tor the general good of its readers.
With this brief and comprehensive view of
the subject, we shall leave the design with the
friends of the. cause in Georgia. It is (the
t system) evidently increasing both in interest
and numbers.', but. cannot flourish to any great
extent, unless assisted by the circulation of a
well conducted periodical. And we do hope,
that the friendsof the cause will not cease their
efforts until the storm of prejudice and persecu
tion has subsided, and a copy of this work is
. found iu every family.
't he work shall be issued, as soon as 800
subscribers are obtained. It shall appear o.i
superior medium paper, co .tainmg 16 octavo
pages per week, at $5 per annum, payable on
the reception of the first number. Thus mak
ing a volume of 832 pages per year.
The services of a gentleman oftalleuts and

DYSPEPSIA
LIVER COMPLAINTS.
The Patent Vegetable Medicine Stom
achica: et Hei’atic.e, formed by chymical
analysis and synthesis of se.veral proximate ve-.
getable principles* are universally acknowl
edged to have totally eclipsed the pretensions
of every other remedy, aud superceded the ne
cessity of every other mode of treatment where
ever the above diseases are found to exist, as
well as in enlargement of the Spleen and in
Jaundice. .
Among the symptoms of Dyspepsia and Liv
er-complaints, are flatulency, sourness or burn
ing in the stomach, melancholy, irritability,
disagreeable taste in the mouth; great irregu
larity of appetite, which is sometimes voracious,
and at other times greatly deficient: thirst, fetid
breath, nausea, weakness of the stomach, acid
eructations, palpitation, drowsiness, irregulars
ity ofthe bowels, pressure on the stomach as-
I ter meals, pain in the bead, dizziness or ver
j t.igo; confusion of mind, attended with loss o-
I memory, a gnawing in the stomach when eipg,.
j ly, chilliness, affection of sight and hearins
pain aud weakness in the back, languoi, dis
turbed sleep, cold feet, and hands, tremor, un
easi >ess in the throat, cough, pain in the side
or breast, &c.
These Medicines hava been found so effec
tual, in n movi g the complaints for which they
j are recommended, that physicians frequently
I have recourse to them fsr their patients, after
having exhausted all their skill, to little or no
I
purpose.
DR. PETERb
Vegetable Aiili-Killiou* Pills
Are the cheapest and most approved Family
i Aiedicineever offered to the Public They
. are extremely mild in their operation, neither
i causing sickness of the stomach, nor any un
-1 pleasa..t sensation in the system, as is top fre
i quently the result from medicines given to act
I up<- ■ the bowels. They act specifically upon
I the Liver, when in a torpid condition, carrying
off a large quantity of bile, through the influ
ence ofthe excernent function, which, ifsuf
fered to remain in the system, would produce
either Jaundice, Liver Complaint, BiliousFe
| ver, Fever and Ague, or some other grievous
■ bodily affliction. In all cases of torpor of the
bowels, they act like a charm. I n recent cass
es of D} spi psia, they are a certain cure. Ma
‘ uy persons who were subjet t to violent attack
of sick head-ache, have fieen much benefited,
and several perfectly cured in a few weeks by
their use. They are highly recommended as
a preventive aud cure of Bilious complaints.
Persons who are subject to that distressing
. complaint, sea-sickness, by taking a portion or
two of them a few days previous to etnfjtarking
on board the vessel, will be almost certain to
escape it. 1 emales can use them at all pe
riods, without incurring any risk. Persons

lated fluids, tnat most diseases produced.
Dr. P. feels confident that no person who give.
I these Pills a fair trial, vyill ever after feel will-
i ing to be without them. The testimony of’
thousands speaking in the highest terms «f'
i their efficacy, might be added, but the very
high reputation Dr. P has acquired as the in
ventor of the “ Patent Vegetable Aledicince
Stomachica et Hepaticce,” for the cure of Dys
pepsia and Liver complaints, is thought a suf
ficient guarantee to those wishing to make a
trial of their virtues. They contain not a par
ties of Mercury, or any ingredient that does
not aot in harmony with health and oppose
disease.
Dr. P. having been educated under the most
eminent American and European Medical pro
fessors, and praticed his profession many years
in the South, where diseases of the most obsti
' nate character prevail, considers hunself well
qualified to judge on the nature of diseases in
cident to warm climates.

THE ATHENIAN.
The undersigneu were appointed by the Sor
ciety a committee of publication and joint Edi r '
tors of the work, until the next meeting of tne
Society We have no interest in the work, ex
cept that which we take in the welfare of the
country and honor of the State. W T e, of the
South, have too long depended upon forsjgii
parts forour Literature, and neglected our own
talents. We shal be weak so long as we think
we are weak: and dependent until we make ef
forts to be independent. We hope all the friends
of Literature in the State, and especially the
Alumni of Franklin College, will patronize the
enterprise both by word and deed. State nride
the love of Literature, our interest in the cause
of general Education, all call upon us to sustain
an enterprise so necessary to our improvement,
