TO MY MOTHER.
The following lines, which we find in an
old book, were written by a convict of the
Ohio penitentiary, and are touchingly beau
tiful : '
I've left the land that gave me birth.
In other climes to roam;
And time, since then, has rolled, its yean
And marl ed them on my brow,
Yet I have often thought of thee—
I'm thinking of thee now.
You watched the dawning of my youth.
And kissed me in your pride;
Then brightly was my heart lit up
With hopes of future joy.
While yonr bright fancy honors wove,
To deck your darling boy.
I'm thinking on the day, mother.
When, with anxious care.
You lifted up your heart to heaven—
Your hope, yonr truth was there;
Sad memory brings your parting words,
Than ever words could speak.
I'm faraway from thee, mother,
No friend is near me now.
To soothe me with a tender word.
Or cool my aching brow ;
The dearest ties affeetion wove.
Are now all torn from me;
They left me when the trouble came—
They did not love like thee.
I r.» lonely and forsaken now.
Unpitied and nnblest;
Yet still I would not let you know
llow sorely 1’ o distressed;
1 knew you would not chide me, mother,
I know you would not blame,
r.ut sooth mo with yonr tender words,
And bid me hope again.
I would not have thee know, mother.
How brightest hopes decay ;
The tempter, with his baleful cup,
Ha? dashed them all away
And shame has left its veuomed Ming,
To rack with anguish wild—
Oh, no! 1 would not have thee know
The sorrow of thy child.
Oh! I havo wandered far, mother,
Since I deserted thee.
And left thy trusting heart to break,
Ceyond the deep blue sea;
oh! mot hoi, still I love thee well.
Would I could bear thee speak.
And feel again thy balmy breath
Upon my careworn cheek.
That thy freed spirit may have flown
To its eternal rest;
And while I wipe the tear away,
There whispers in my ear
speaks of heaven andthei
And bids n
t thee there.

More About My Neighbor
Mr. Editor: In my first communion 1
tion I spoke of my neighbor’s cane nm
potatoc patches, which I called his
.-mialier rotation. In this I propose to
*peak of his principal crop, which I call
his larger rotation; bat before doing so
l wish to remark that my neighbor is a
small fanner—runs only two plows—
but his system is capable ot being adapt
ed to any number of plows. These three
patches are very valuable to him,
be seen when I state that four to five
hundred gallon* of tho very be«t syrup,
and from one hundred and fifty to two
hundred and fifty bushels of potatoes
are his yearly crops from them, and by
his system of rotation and manuring the
yield is constantly increasing, and I
verily believe will continue to increase
for years and years. Who can show
ycirly crop from three acres that can be
more easily made, or is more valuable ii
the support of a family, or for sale, than
this smaller rotation of my neighbor’# ?
Indeed, my neighbor has been 'tempted
to increase the area of these crops, but
after satisfactory experiment, he has net*
tied down to the conclusion that half
acre in planted cane, half an acre in i
toon cane, and half an acre in potatoes
to each plow, is the best proportion of
these crops that a farmer in this country
4 <*an adopt. Bat we must proceed to my
neighbor’s larger rotation.
My neighbor has divided the rest of
his cultivated lands into three equal
parts. He has arranged the division
that the parts have about the same avi
ago fertiiity. He lad reference also to
convenience for pasturage, so that each
of the parts should contain water for
stock, and a portion at least of each
part is fenced to itself so that he can
it for pasture when its turn comes.
The first of theso parts is sown in
oats, the second in cotton, and the third
in corn. The next year the oat land is
planted in cotton, the cotton land ii
corn, and the corn land in oats. And
this rotation he follows up year after
year, allowing nothing to interfere with
it. Cotton always following o
following cotton, and osts following corn.
My neighbor makes it a matter of con-
scier co to manure all of his.crops of cot
ton and corn; and in doing this he l«y»
everything in reach under contribution,
allowing nothing to bo wasted .that can
be made to increase his supply of ma«
Under this system his lands increase
in production from year to year^and if
he can keep them from waahiog—a point
which my neighbor thinks is the moot
difficult of all a farmer's duties'—his
land will be better a hundred years hence
than it is now.
He has been punning this coarse for
five years, and his land, which before
conld not be safely depended npon for
more than a bale of cotton to four acres,
or ten bnshela of corn to the acre, now
as easily makes a bale of cotton to two
acres, and twenty bushels of corn to the
tore. His oats too have increased from
eight or nine hundred pounds of sheaf
oats to the acre, which was his former 1
crop, to fifteen or eighteen hundred
pounds per acre. And the beauty of
is that with the same seasons my neigh
bor safely calculates upon a little better
crop each year than he made the year
My neighbor cultivates fifteen acres
each of corn, oats and cotton to tho
plow; and this, in addition to his cane
and potatoc patches, con’ifitntes his
whole crop. Ground peas are planted
with about onc-ibnrth of his corn, and
field peas with the remaining three-
fourths. HLs methods of planting and
cultivation I will reserve for a future
number; also his compost heap and meth
ods of applying manure.
I will conclude, 31 r. Editor, with
summing up the last year’s yield of my
neighbor’s two horse farm, as follows:
Thirty aeres in cotton produced fifteen
bales.
Thirty acres ju corn produced
hundred bushels: also twelve bushels
ground peas and fifty bushels field peas
(g ithered >, leaving an abundant residu
um for fattening his hogs.
Thirty acres in oats produced thirty
heavy two-horse loads of oats.
One acre in cane produced three huu-1
dred and fifty gallons of pyrup.
One acre in rattoon cane produced
eighty-five gallons of syrup, besides seed
enough to plant his crop this year.
One acre in potatoes produced one
hundred and eighty-five bushels.
Wi th this amount of food crop, is it
at all surprising, Mr. Editor, that he
should have fat mules, great big fat
hogs and sleek cattle ? Is it at all sur
prising that his wife and children should
keep iu a splendid good humor, or that
he himself should, be one of tho cheer*
fulest and jolliest of neighbors ?
In my next. Mr. Editor, I propose to
tell you something about my neighbors’
compost heap, and his methods of apply
ing manure Old 16tii.

Yesterday, soon after two o’clock, a
report spread rapidly in the city that
Mr. Frederick A. Maxwell, with two or
three ladies, bad been drowned in Bnrch’s
pond, formerly known as Boisclair’a
pond. Eventually it was positively
known that Mr. F. A. Maxwell,with Miss
Corinne Dunwoody, had been drowned
by the sinking of a boat in Burch’s
pond.
Yesterday morning, a pleasant party,
consisting of Mr. F. A. Maxwell, Mbs

miles from the city, in a southwesterly
direction, for the purpose of spending a
few bourn in the woods, and enjoying
the fresh air of tho country, away from
the dusty streets and cares of city life, on
tho banks of the pond.
A small boat was moored at the bank
of the pond, and about one o’clock one
of the yonog ladies, Miss Dunwoody,
proposed that they take a boat ride,
when Mr. Maxwell gallantly offered to
accompany her if sho desired to go in

J* A cn*e of interest to lawyers and
laymen, and more especially to women,
has just been decided in the New York
courts. It seems that Daniel 8. Youngs
asked Jennie Youngs to become his wife
when he was a widower of fifty-two and
twenty-three. He bad two children
by a former wife, daughters, and had
real estate worth $150,000. He comma-
nicated to bis intended tbe fact of having
this property. She accepted his proposal,
and the day for the marriage was fixed
for the 27th of last August. It was post
poned on account of illness, and took
place on the 3d of September. Jnat after
the postponement tbe daughters ?ongut
to break np the match, telling their fatb„
er that his betrothed cared nothing for
him, but took him solely fur bis proper
ty. This be warmly resented, and to
prove to them their error, conveyed to
them all his property. Of this convey
ance Mrs. Youngs was kept in ignorance
till after the marriage. Then she brought
suit to have it declared void, and Judge
Tan Vorst, before whom the case
tried in the Supreme-Court, after at
animation of analogous cases, aaya her
claim is a just one, bolding that neither
the man nor the woman has the right to
convey property on the possession of
which a promise of marriage has been
contracted, and in order to defeat the
right of tbe other party. It is not neces-
rsry moreover, for the wife to await her
hnsband’s death before moving for the
assertion of her rights, dower being a
right which is inchoate from the moment
of marriage and of the possession of
property; under this decision it is in
choate even from betrothal. The deed
executed before her marriage, under the
facts and circumstances of this esse, he
thinks should have no other effect upon
her rights aud interests than if executed
afterwards. So tbe daughters will
, be compelled to disgorge in favor of their
mother-in-law.
