The Kins of the Soil. Black sin may nestle below a crest, And crimes below a crown ; hearts beat ’neatli a fustian vest, As under a silken gown, Shall tales be told of the chiefs \\ ho sold Their sinews to crush and kill, And never a word be sung or heard Os the men who reap and till ? I bow in thanks to the sturdy throng , W ho greet the young morn with toil 5 And the burden I give niy earnest song Shad be this—The Kings of the Soil! Then sing for the Kings who have no crown Hut the blue sky o’er the head— !Xe\ei Sultan or Hey had such power as they, To withhold or offer bread. Proud ships may hold both silver and gold The wealth of a distant strand ; But ships would rot, and be valued not, Were there none to till the land. Tlie wildest heath, and the wildest brake, Are rich as the richest fleet; lor they gladden the wild birds when they wake, And give them food to eat. And with willing hand, and spade, and plough, The gladdening hour shall come, !\ hen that which is called the ‘waste land’ now Shall ring with the ‘Harvest Home !’ Then sing for the Kings who have no crown But ilie Blue sky o’er their head— Never Sultan or Dey had such power as they To withhold or offer bread. 1 Malleable Iron. —This branch of useful manu factures is probably prosecuted to a greater extent in this city than in any other part of the country; a recent authentic account stating that but two estab lishments of the kind existed in all New England, and those two in Massachusetts; and we have no in formation of their existing in any great numbers elsewhere. In a statement ot a late number ot a scientific work, it is said that the common grey Pig Iron may be used in its manufactures; but we are assured by persons well skilled and long used to mak ing it, that it is not so, and that it requires pig iron of peculiar quality, containing certain elements not known to exist in more than three or four places where iron ore is found. The Pig Iron is submitted to a melting heat until it is in a state of fusion, when it is refined through the action of an air furnace, until all impurities are separated from it, it is then poured into moulds or the required shapes for the articles intended to be made. After cleaning the castings of the sand which adheres to them, they are placed in the annealing furnace, packed in me tallic oxide, and submitted to nearly a white heat for several successive days, i hese are the prominent features of its manufacture. Some assert that the common grey pig originally contains no carbon, and that the carbon visible in the manufacture of it is given by the action of the air furnace, and af terwards divested of it by the annealing process.— This we understand to be a mooted question, not onlv with scientific men, but with practical manufac turers. The subject is now under consideration by one or two gentlemen of this city, who are making an analysis of it, and will doubtless render a relia ble opinion. As to the uses to which malleable iron is put, few can estimate their number and value—gas and hot air pipe fittings, scale work, stove trimmings, bell fixtures, entire shoe kits, ferules, hoes and rakes, entire harness trimmings, a great variety of trim ming about carriages, tin w orkers’ machines, coffee mill trimmings, and*in tact almst every conceivable article made from iron. The members of a firm en gaged in its manufacturer in this city, were induced about a year ago, to enumerate those that came immediately uikler their observation, and they reached the almost incredible number of 1720, and they now estimate the number at not less than 2000. —Newark Advertiser. Radical Cure for Corns.— ln the number of L'Abeile Medical, of tlie sth of April, M. C. Mat ton proposes a mode of curing corns without a re sort to cutting instruments, lie advises that the feet be soaked in water for a short time, and the most projecting part of the coni be taken off with a pen knife, or with the fingers; a stick of nitrate of silver moistened.at the free extremity is then to be pressed slightly over the whole surface of hardened cuticle, and a litte beyond on the sound skin. The part to w hich the caustic is applied should then be well dried and let alone for ten days. A slight and hardly perceptible vesication takes place, which, however, is soon absorbed. At the end of eight or ten days, by making some slight traetation with fingers or a pair of dissecting forceps, from the circumference to the j centre of the eschar, we may remove without the ! slightest pain, the hardened epidermis, so complete ly as to leave no trace behind. Mr. Mutton pledges himself that those who try his plan will be certainly and radically cured. —Southern Medical Journal. A FRMEiL. -Thisis a liquid which gives to the gold a warm reflec . n. Itis\composed of two ounces of annatto, one ounce ot gamboge, one ounce of Ver million, halt an ounce of dragon’s blood, two ounces of salt of tartar, and eiglneen grains of good saffron. The whole is to be boiled in a quart of w.ater over a slow fire, until it is reduced to one-fourth, when the liquor is passed through a strainer of silk or mus ji n. —Scientific Amercan. Iron Pavement.“lron is daily coming into more ’ geueral use for almost every purpose. A letter trom Paris, of a late date says 1 “Anew pavement, to upset the Macadam and other inventions of the kind, has been proposed by | Mr. Tobard, who intends paving, in his way, the streets and boulevards of Paris. The gentleman proved by figures that melting iron is only worth 11 francs in Paris, 7 francs in Belgium, 4 1-2 francs in ! England; whilst the stone costs 25 francs in London, 15 francs in Paris, and 8 and 10 francs in Belgium. This new- mode of pavement will be grooved, in or der not to become slippery, and it is said that the electricity occasioned by the rolling of carriages will prevent rust. Here is anew field open to in dustry. Tobacco Land.— Prof. Johnson, in the course of lectures delivered by him a short time since, before the New York Agricultural Society, among many valuable facts worth the attention of agriculturists, stated that tobacco was a crop which contained much mineral matter. Suppose, says Prof. Johnsou, an acre to yield 800 pounds; these 800 pounds will contain about 100 pounds of mineral matter, which is carried off by tlie crop, aud in this way the land will soon be exhausted. In four years, 600 pounds of mineral matter would be carried off from an acre of tobacco land. It is the duty of the farmer to supply the mineral matter thus specially exhausted, if lie wishes to sustain the soil. —Baltimore Ameri can. Maryland and Virginia have exhausted themselves in growing tobacco for foreign markets. They have ex tracted from tlie soil all that it contained that was fitted to afford nourishment to vegetation, and they have returned to tlie earth no part of the refuse of its products. Ohio has followed in their wake, and the conseqenee is, that her produce of wheat has fallen to less than twelve bushels to the acre. The further consequence of this is shown in the follow ing paragraph, which we take from one of the jour nals of the day: “The Daily Scioto (Ohio) Gazette, of the 26th inst., says that the emigration from Ohio to States further West is very large this year. Ross county alone has lost a number of its most influential citi zens.” The Black Spanish Fowl. —This beautiful and truly valuable fowl has been almost forgotten of late, owing to the rage for large breeds. The pure bird of the fancy should be perfectly black, with large legs and beak. The comb and wattles, of both cock and hen, should be single, of very higli color and large size: the comb of the hen drooping over on one side. Avery singular characterestic of this fowl is a white cheek, which adds much to its beauty. It is astutely bird, aud of a grave and majestic deport ment. The hens are the best of layers, producing a very large, pure white egg; and as table birds they can not be surpassed. Some breeders of distinction say that they sometimes come with small white spots on the back, making an appearance like small snow flakes. Different opinions are expressed with regard to the color ot the leg. The black is generally pre ferred, and I consider it the mark of the pure breed; however, I have seen tine specimens with yellow legs; and this color is not without its advocates also. Their weight is trom five to seven pounds. Some persons have an idea that the Spanish is a long legged breed; bat in this they are very much mistaken, it is not a long legged gawky fowl, with more leg and thigh than any thing else; but it is very well proportioned, in its general shape, both for beauty aud utility. Spurious specimens ot thi&fowl are very plenty— Maine Farmer. L K _ • 7 1 g Simple Remedy. —A simple application for a horse’s feet which are brittle, or hoof bound, I learn ed from an English sheer; and having'tried it with good effect, and never having seen it fail, I send it to you to be used as you may think proper. Mix equal parts of tar and some soft grease, having the foot clean and dry; apply it hot, but not boiling, to all parts, letting it run under the shoe as much as possible. In bad cases the application should be made every day for a week, till the foot become strong and smooth. That Musical Cat. —There is a family at South Boston who have a cat which is exceedingly fond of music, and almost invariably seats herself beside any member of the family when they commence playing the piano. A few days since, when the fami ly were engaged in another part of the house, they heard sounds proceeding from the piano and repair ed at once to the piano, where, much to their sur prise, was Tabby discovered seated on the piano stool, with her fore paws upon the keys, making them fly in double quick time, evidently much delighted her first effort, and also greatly to the edifica tion of the family. So sooner, however, did the mistress of the house appear than puss very politely resigned her seat; but she has since resumed her at tempts, seemingly with a determination to acquire a knowledge of so desirable an accomplishment. — Bos ton Journal. Sensible Horses. —Laingin his travels in Nor way, says that the horses in that country have a ve ry sensible way of taking their food. Instead of swilling themselves with a pailful of water at a draught, no doubt from the fear of not getting any again, and then overgorging themselves with dry food for the same reason, they have a bucket of water put down beside their allowance of hay. It is amusing to see with what a relish they take a sip of the one and a mouthful of the other alternately, sometimes only moistening their mouths {is a ra tional being would do w hile eating a dinner of such dry food. A broken-winded horse is scarcely ever seen in Norway. To Keep Chimneys Clean. —lnstead of plaster ing the inside of chimneys in the usual way, the Albany Cultivator says, take mortar made of one peck of salt to a bushel of lime, adding as much sand loam as will render it fit to work, and then la v on a thick coat. If the chimney has no off-set for the soot to lodge on, it will continue perfectly clean and free from danger of taking fire. A trial of three years warrants the assertion. /’ mmmammmmimmm Not to be Beat!— Rebecca Smith, of the town of Henderson, Jefferson county, N.

Girls, do you hear that ? Dahlias. —ln saving seeds for sowing never take them in the centre: take none but petal seeds, for they will give the largest proportion of double flow ers. Chinhasters and dahlias have generally some disc seeds, if they are even very double; therefore, on taking the pod to get out the grains, begin from outside, and when j r ou have got a few of the rows of seed from them, throw the rest into a common sort, which you may give away or sell, but building upon the changes of good flowers, you will be much better paid for your labor by the few outside seeds, than you can by sowing the whole. This is worth attention. sii ©-m © stsri * ‘ 1 1 1s sj . Remarkable Instance of Fecundity.—We heard yesterday of a most singular instance of fecundity, j iu which a lady, residing at the corner of Orleans and Bourdon streets* gave birth to three fine boys a few weeks since, all of whom are alive and kicking. Ibis remarkable effort of nature was, however, fol lowed yesterday by a yet more astounding develop ment, in the appearance, namely, of a 4th boy, who was quite sprightly at the last accounts, The mother is also represented as enjoying good health Under this forcible array of responsibilities.—7V r .

A Con ye nient Bed.—We see it stated that a | portable bed, anew invention, has been introduced into New \ork, and is attracting much attention. It forms a soft and commodious couch, requires but lit tle trouble to take care of it, occupies a very small space, and may be shut up like an umbrella sp compact a form as to admit of being stowed rnv&} 1 a bandbox or valise. A New Planing Machine is in operation in Bos ton which ■’’ ”*1 plane two thousand four hun dred feet oprpfe&lY ta fds in fourteen minutes! Groov ing and tougueing is done with the same facility, speed and perfection. Six thousand feet of boards per hour are made as smooth as the surface of mar ble, with the utmost ease. The machine is on an i entirely new principle, being a succession of six sta tionary places, of the width of the boards; the first one acts as the fore-plane taking off’ a thick shaving, and so on to the last one, which acts as a “jointer” or finishing plane, each taking off a shaving of the full length and width of the board. The machine is driven by the four horse power of an engine, and requires only three men to tend it; one to put in the boards, one to remove the shavings and another to take them off. Early Potatoes.— By sprouting seed potatoes a bout two inches long in a warm place, early in spring before planting, taking care not to break the sprouts in covering, the writer has had potatoes four to six inches high by the time that others came up, planted in the usual way without the sprouts being they have maintained the advantage till maturity. Sarsaparilla Syrup. —Purchase of a druggist j of known honest} 7 , fifteen ounces of Para Sarsaparil la; split all the stalks in two lengthwise, and cut in short pieces. Soak it in a gallon of pure water for twenty-four hours, then boil it down to two quarts; strain and add while boiling, fifteen ounces white sugar; thicken all by a little additional boiling, pre cisely as you make the syrup of preserves. Here you have two quarts of pure syrup for eighty cents. The dose is from a teaspoouful to a wineglassful, accord ing to age, three times a day, but it would do no harm if taken by the tumblerful; it is not hurtful in any dose. If you make it, you are certain that you get the genuine article—which is very doubtful if you buy it.* An Amusing occur hence. —A a ];mgli7- hk*sconce occuroJ in l-'orc street. passing a house where a red tlag was hung that some infectious disease existed within, inqiMFd of one whom lie met why the flag was suspended there. “Got the small pox in there,” replied the man, hurrying on. The Frenchman paused and gazed at the flag and the house for a moment, and then walked up to the door and plied the knocker vigorously. “What do you want sir?” inquired a woman, who cau tiously opened the door. “I want to sec grand show, Madame.” “We have no show here,” said the woman, endeavoring to keep the Frenchman from entering. “And you had bet ter go away, for we have got the small pox here !” “Aha, dat is it! ze little fox,” chuckled Monsieur, “Vy you say no show, aha?” “I tell you, sir, there is no show here ! we’ve got the small pox—d’ye hear?” “Saere dam !” cried the Frenchman, getting out of pa tience, “zat is vat I say, two tree seventeen times—ze little fox: la petit renard I will see ze grand show ! lie was proceeding to crowd himself in at the partially opened door, when luckily a gentleman passing at the time succeeded in making him comprehend that what he had tak en for a “small fox” was an infectious disease.

He had his Revenge.-*— A whiskey-loving acquaintance of ours, Mac- , used to frequent, when “acknowledging the corn” too decisively, a certain public house, the landlady of which was a Mrs. L -, a terrible termagant, who wore her high heeled shoes continually; and many was the time ‘ when Mac got snubbed, much to the wounding of his inebri- ! a ted dignity, (for he affected the mysteries of law, politics and school-keeping.) On one occasion, when he was most gloriously high, find she was tamer than usual, he approached her with a drunkenly benignant smile, and told her he had ‘drea—hie-**— dreamed a dream all about him and her.” What wits it?’ said she, With a curiosity Very singular in woman ! ‘I drefltnpt that I died and Went to misery,’ ‘Well.’ ‘I knock ed.’ ‘Who’sthere?’ ‘Mac .’‘Wherefrom?’ ‘W .’ ‘Can’t come in.

Where tiif. Lawyers Sit.—County court was sitting a while ago in ,on the banks of the Connecticut. It was not far from this time of year—cold weather, anyhow — and a knot of lawyers hud collected around the old Franklin, in the bar-room. The lire blazed, and mugs of flip were passing away without a groan, when in came a rough, gaunt looking‘babe of the woods,’ knapsack on shoulder and staff in hand. He looked cold, and half perambulated the circle that hemmed in the fire, as with a wall of brass, looking for a chance to warm his shins. Nobody moved, however; and unable to sit for lack of a chair, he did the next best thing— leaned against the wall, ‘with tears in his fists and his eyes | doubled up’—and listened to the discussion on the proper way of serving a referee on a warrantee deed, as if he was the judge to decide the matter. -Soon lie attracted the attention “fjflie company, and a young sprig spoke to him. ‘You look like a traveller.’ ‘Well I ’spose I am—l come from Wiscon sin afoot “t any rate.’ ‘From Wisconsin? That is a dis tance to go on one pair of legs. 1 say, did you ever pass through h—ll on your travels?’ ‘Yis sir’ he answered —a kind of wicked look stealing over his ugly phizmahogony ‘I ben through the outskirts.’ ‘I thought likely. Well what are the manners and customs there ? Some of us would like to know.’ ‘Ob’ says the pilgrim, deliberate ly—half shutting his eyes and drawing round the corner of his mouth till two rows of yellow stubs, with a mass of masticated pig-tail, appeared through the slit in his cheek —‘you’ll, find them much the same as in this region; the lawyers sit nearest the fire.’ During a ‘ride up’ in one of the 22d street stages, the other day, the omnibus was stopped, and two rosy-looking children were tumbled in, followed by an Irishwoman of no ordinary dimensions, who seated herself between a well dressed elderly maiden lady, and a Wall street millionaire. She was no sooner seated than she took both children on her lap, in doing which the shoes of one rubbed against the dress of the old maid, which offended her mightily, and, in a huffy manner, she said: ‘I wish you’d keep that brat's feet off my dress, it* not a foot rug.’ ‘lndade, mum. I didn’t go to do it.’ ‘I don’t suppose you did, but you will oblige me by sitting on the other side, I dislike children.’ The woman with the children moved, and said, in a sar castic tone, which set the people in a roar: ‘Well, lady, all the harm I wish ye*, is, that you may mar ry the man that you love, and never have chick nor child to bless your ould age.’ The Man who don’t want to be mean.— The Burling ton Sentinel says that in one of the back towns of a neigh boring State, where it is the custom for the district school teacher to‘board round,’the following incident occurred, and is vouched for by the highest authority. A year or two ago an allotment being made in the usual manner for the benefit of the school mistress, it happened that the proportion man was ju? 1 - o days anil ! the thiru ,„i<i was beginning to eat, when the man of the house aduleased her as follows: ‘Mad am, I suppose your boarding time is out when you have eat half a dinner, but I don’t want tube mean about it, you may eat, if you choose, about as much as usual.’ A correspondent at Skunk’s Manor says that he has been ‘ treated, like a dog,’ and ho expects us to say by whom! (No, no ; we know libel law !) So have ire been, in our capacity, more times than you can shake a stick. What dog was it that we were treated like? Not like Carlo, not like Trump not like Sypliax. To lie on a warm rug, to lick a lady's hand, to eat crackers, to be fed on tender Fine, to ride out in a car riage, to be patted by a gentle hand, to have your part taken in all quarrels, to pay nothing for board, washing, light, fuel— that's being treated like a dog.’ We should like to | be a dog at that rate.— Knickerbocker. Force of Habit.—A literary man, quite a greedy bib liomaniac, who had devoured bookshelves as a little school girl devours slice after slice of bread and butter, and whose suc cesses in literature are in equal proportion to his devouring appetite (we are sorry we are not at liberty to mention his name,) was so overpowered with joy—-so topsy-turvied with his new sensations—-upon the birth of his first son, that, in | stead of taking the fact to the Registrar, he went, as if he j had been the author of anew book, und had him ‘Entered at I Stationers’ llall.’ Man’s life may be only an hour glass to some being of a ! higher order; and they, perhaps, say, when three score years and ten are up, ‘What, another hour gone! Dear me, how time flies !’ In Europe, people take off their hats to great men; in America, great men take off their hats to the people. Uni versal suffrage, says a French author, renders the children of men equal to the children of thu gods. At Gibraltar there was a great scarcity of water. An Irish officer said, ‘He was very easy about the matter, for he had nothing to do with water; if lie only got his tea in the morn ing, and his punch at night, it was all he wanted.’ SPORTING EXECUTIVES.

The whole top of the hale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may be put as near the Gin House as is desired. It is three times as powerful as a screw of 13 inches diameter, that lias a nine inch pitch of thread with the same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk but one third as far, for the reason that a lever is required but one-third as Ung J to do the same work.

For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, llay.&e. it cannot . be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the j crew, and if is certainly the cheapest ever built. The whole cost ofthe Irons will not exceed $43, which may be had ■ oft’. 11. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosized to furnish . hem. This sum is exclusive of freight and the cost of riirht to use ; the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, tli cost will lie ■ 10 or sls more for the Iron work, but it will materially lessen the 1 cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will he the cheap- j est in the end. Any good Mechanic canconstruct the Press from the j drawings and specifications which will accompany cadi right. I shall sell a single right at $lO, which suin can be sent by mail at I my risk, provided the fact of sending is-cerfified to by the Postmaster * of the place where the letter is mailed. Each right will he acconipa nied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will be aide to build thu Press. Any communications, post-paid, will be punctually attended to. A. 1).

D. Brown, of this place, and can, with confidence,recommend it to the public. Its great power, convenienceand simplicity of structure, renders it, in our estimation, eth best that we have seen. It packs downward, which we deem ve ry essential; can be placed as near the lint room as desired, and can be easily covered in and made very durable.
