POETRY. 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.” Decrease tn Prices.— Died Near Marling ton, N.J. on Monday the 11th of October, ahby Price; on Wednesday, the 13th, Dinah Pbice, and on Thursday the 14th, Jour Price. 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. Select €o::i s. e<’.. 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 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 ’ got. g to sea, or to a southern climate, should by tali with them for years ■bcli PF ' of ' ’he Kk* 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.

W T e, of the South, have too long depended upon forsjgii parts forour Literature, and neglected our own talents.
