FOR T11E MILLEDGliVILLE llEFLECTOlt.
Lines un the celebrated Scutti ' urd, Hob. Burns.
O, 1IUKXS, thy waiul*rii)!pi l deplore,
Why didst thou leave the peaceful shore,
Where virtue dwelt in times of yore,
And still doth dwell ?
Why give the ways of wisdom o’er,
For paths of licll ?
Hudst thou in virtue's paths still mov'd,
And still the ways of wisdom provM,
Thou hadst by all inert been beloved,
Who wisdom know ;
And thine own heart still approv’d
Thy course below.
Thou couldst the patriot bosom warm,
! Thou coiddst the ear of learning charm,
Thou couldst excite love’s soft alarm,
W i;li moilest verse ;
Thou couldst keen malice* hand disarm,
And anger fierce.
Hut wisdom’s ways thou didst forego »
Thou didst the paths of folly know,
And blindly run a course below,
Of sin and shame—
u Thy thoughtless follies laid thee low,
“ And stain’d thv name !”

“ Break up deep, and be not afraid of tun -

ground admits of tins operation. Shallow
ploughing up the vegetable mould, decep-
tiously serves a turn, when it is not exhaust
ed j audits exhaustion is the certain conse
quence of this ill-judged tillage. But the
air contains the principal materials for the
food of plants, and will impregnate the sub
stratum. if exposed a due length of time ;
especially' in winter, when it receives much,
and parts with little ; the heat of the sun be
ing then feeble, and incapable of dispelling
wliat the soil receives from the air. Those
who object to deep, much more to trench
ploughing, want experience sufficiently to
test their benefits. They have mismanaged
experiments, or have been in two great haste
to crop their grounds. The substratum
must he exposed for a time necessary to re
ceive the influence of the atmosphere. Indi
an corn, with lime, is by far the best crop,
after trenching, particularly ; because it re
quires the soil to be constantly stirred ami
exposed ; true, there are. some soils, which
neither deep nor trench ploughing will bene
fit ; and every farmer should accommodate
his practice to the nature and qualities of his
soil. Over cropping and shallow ploughing
with exhausting crops in succession, fre
quently cause overwhelming growths of sor
rel, to infect ill managed fields. Lime is the
only remedy ; and you will see in lord Dun-
flnnald’s “ Connexion, &c.” the good effects
of lime ; which destroys the sorrel, and pro
duces the sorreline arid ; highly friendly to

FROM THE AMERICAN DAILY AI»VF.RTISF.1I.
Mr. Poulson,—The following experiment
may not be unworthy of public notice.
Having some fine grape vines in my gar
den which afforded a luxuriantcrop of grapes
last fall, I was led to ascertain, with a few
of the remaining branches, how long 1 could . . . . , .
leave them on the vine, notwithstanding the , 1 ,c l» ublic a,cal ?° ,nfor ' ned that in the course

of Oi toher to the latter part of November
and a punctual arrival at the time specified is
strongly recommended. For terms of admission
and for further information concerning the Asy
lum, application may lie made by letter (post
paid) to cither of the undersigned committee.
And it is recommended that in every instance
sucli application be made previous to the Deaf
and Dumb person’s visiting Hartford, with a
view to admission ; as cases have occurred, in
which, from a want of sufficient information
with regard to the regulations of the Asylum, it
has been found necessary to refuse admittance ;
and thereby the expense of a long and useless
journey has been incurred. No pupil who lias
| already applied, will be received for a less term
! than two years.

They continued unaffected by the frosts which
(luring that time, took place :—the only ef
fect produced was a very slight shrivelling,
and which might have been anticipated from
the advanced season of the year. In taste,
I think them equal if nut superior to those
antecedently gathered. But an extension of
the experiment occurred to me, perhaps of
more utility than the above, and which may
give rise to the preservation of this delight
ful fruit among ourselves, for winter use,
as we preserve apples and other articles of
horticultural and agricultural industry. On
tin* 12th of October I carefully cut off a very
fine bunch and placed it in an earthen jar,
covering it with dry white sand, and put it
away to be opened on Christmas-day. On
the 29tli of the same month, auother of the
few remaining bunches was cut off anil put
away in a similar manner, and was intended
to he opened on the first of February.
Christinas day, about 12 week , from the time
I gathered the first bunch, it was taken from
the jar, as firm and as fresh as when first de
posited. The other was forgotten until the
22d of Feb. when it was found quite as sound
and perfect rs when pulled—from its having
been so much longer than the first, it was,
when taken from the vine, rather shrivelled;
hut this had not increased from its long con
finement of nearly three months—as to its
taste and excellence it is equal to air. tore
eaten and infinitely superior to hose, which
at so much expense and trouble, are brought
to us t'r< m Spain and PaHug.il.
