THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. PUBLISHED WEEKLY. YOL. 14. POETRY. Ft out the Abbeville ISautier. Messrs. Editors: —The poetry of R. >l. Wilde, beginuing, “My life is like the Summer rose,” is universally admired and frequently found in the periodicals of the day. His politics are forgotten, his life of Tasso encum bers the shelves of book sellers, whilst this gem, recognized as true poetry,even in fault-finding England, promises to embalm his name in lit erary immortality. It is not, however, so well known that a lady of Baltimore, met the distinguished advocate in the Court of and replied with much force and almost equal beauty. As the stanzas of each are not found in connection, it is proposed to give those of Wilde separately, and in a similar way the lady’s answer in re ply: WII.DK. My life is like the gammer rose That opens to the morning gky, But ere the shade* of evening close, Is scattered on the ground to die- Yet on that rose’s humble bed, The sweetest dew’s of night are shed, As if she wept such waste to see ; But none shall weep a teur for ine. LADY. The dews of night may fall from heaven Upon the withered rose’s bed, And the tears of fond regret be given To mourn the virtues of the dead, Yet morning’s sun the dews will dry, And tears will fade from sorrow’s eye, Atl'ectiou’s pangs be lulled to sleep, And even love forget U> weep. WILDE. My life is like the autumn leaf That trembles in the moon’s pale ray — its hold is trail, its date is brief, Restless, and soon to pass away, Yet ere that leaf shall fall and fade, The parent tree shall mourn its shade; The wind bewail the leafless tree, But none shall breathe a sigh for me. I.ADY. The tree uuy mourn its fallen leaf, And autumn winds bewail its bloom, And friends may heave a sigh of grief, O’er those who sleep within the tomb, Yet soon will spring renew the flowers, And time will bring more smiling hours ; In friendship’s heart all grief will die, And even love forget to sigh. Wilde. My life is like the prints which feet Have left on Tampa’s desert strand— Soon as the rising tide shall beat, All trace shall vanish from the sand, Yet, as if grieving to efface All vestage of the human race, On that lone shore, loud moans the sea; But none, alas! shall mourn for me. LADY. The sea may on the desert shore Lament each trace it bears away; The lonely heart its grief may pour O’er cherished friendship’s last decay, Yet when all track is lost and gone, The waves dance bright and gaily on ; Thus soon affection’s bonds are torn, And even love forgets to mourn. THE GRECIAN BEND. BY LYDIA L. A. VERY. Let’s have the old bend and not have the new; Let’s have the bend that our grandmothers knew; Over the wash-tub and over the churn, That is the bend that our daughters should learn. Let’s have the bend that our grandmothers knew, » Over the cradle like good mothers true, Over the table, (the family round,) Reading the good book ’mid silence profound. Let’s have the bend that at church they did wear, Bowing them lowly in meek, humble prayer; Not sitting erect with the modern-miss air, With the “love of a bonnet” just perched on one hair. Leave the camel his hump—he wears it for use; Leave the donkey his pauier—and cut your selves loose From fashions that lower, deform and degrade! To hide some deformity most of them made. Let our heads of false hair and hot yarn-skeins be shorn— Let our garments be easy and light to be worn-- Don’t shake in December and swelter in June, And appear like unfortunates struck by the moon. Let’s spend the time in things higher than dress ! Time that was given us to aid and to bless; Time that is fleeting and passes away; 0 let us work while we call it to-day! Let’s have the old bend instead of the new, — Let’s have the old hearts so faithful and true! Away with all fashions that lower and degrade! To hide some deformity most of them made! THE VOLUNTEER COUNSEL. A TALE OF JOHN TAYLOR. John Taylor was licensed when a young man of twenty-one, to practice at the bar. He was poor but well educated, and possessed extraordina ry genius. The graces of his person, combined with the superiority of his intellect, enabled him to win the hand of a fashionable beauty. Twelve months afterward the husband was employed by a wealthy Arm of the city to go 011 a mission as land agent to the west. Asa heavy salary was offered, Taylor bade farewell to his wife and infant son. He wrote back every week, but received not a line in answer. Six months elapsed, when he re ceived a letter from his employers that explained all. Shortly after his departure for the West, the wife and her father removed to Mississippi. There she obtained a divorce by act of legislature, married again forth with, and to complete the climax of cruelty and wrong, had the name of Taylor’s son changed to Marks, that of the second matrimonial partner. This perfidy neariy drove Taylor in sane. His career from that period became eccentric in the lirst degree. At an early hour on the 9th of April, 1840, the court-house in Clarksville, Texas, was crowded to overflowing. Save in war times past, there had never been witnessed such a gathering in Red River county, while the strong feeling expressed on every flushed face, will explain the matter. At the close of 1839, George Hop kins, one of the wealthiest and most influential men of North Texas, offer ed a gross insult to Mary Elliston, the young and beautiful wife of his chief overseer. The husband threatened to chastise him for the outrage, where upon Hopkins loaded a gun, and went to Elliston’s house, and shot him in his own door. The murderer was arrested and bailed to answer the charge. This occurrence produced intense exeite and Hopkins, in order to turn rjf.. ll **® of public opinion, or at least mitigate the general wrath, at first, iSS 11 * against him, circulated re ehftfamousiy prejudicial to the harauer of the woman who had suf ferod such cruel wrong at his hands. She brought her suit for slander, and thus, two cases, one criminal, and the other civil, anil both out of the same tragedy, were pending in the April circuit court for 1840. The interest naturally felt by the community as to the issues became far deeper when it was known that Ashley and Pike, of Arkansas, and the celebrated S. S. Prentiss, of Mis sissippi, each, with enormous fees, had been retained by Hopkins for his defence. The trial for the indictment of mur der ended on the Bth of April with the acquital of Hopkins. Such a re sult might well have been foreseen by comparing the talents of the coun sel engaged on either side. The Tex as lawyers were utterly overwhelmed by arguments and the eloquence of their opponents. It was a fight of dwarfs against giants. The slander suit was set for the 9th, and the throng of spectators grew in number as well as in the excitement; and what may seem strange, the cur rent of public sentiment now ran de cidedly for Hopkins. His money had purchased pointed witnesses, who served most efficiently his pow erful advocates; indeed so triumph ant had been the success of the pre vious day, that when the slander case was called Mary Elliston was left without an attorney—-they had all withdrawn. The pigmy pettifog gers dared not brave the sharp wit of Pike and the scathing thunder of Prentiss. “Have you no counsel ?” inquired Judge Mills, looking quietly at the plaintiff. “No, sir, they have all deserted me, and I am too poor to employ any more.” replied the beautiful Mary, bursting into tears. “In such a case will not some chiv alrous member of the profession vol unteer":” asked the judge, of the forty lawyers seated arouud the bar. They were as silent as death. Judge Mills repeated the question. “I will, your honor,” said a voice from the thickest part of the crowd outside the bar. At the tones of that voice many started from their seats —it was so un earthly sweet, clear, ringing, and mournful. The first sensation was, however, changing into a laughter, when a tall spectral figure, that nobody present remembered ever to have seen, el bowed its way through the crowd, and placed itseif within the bar. His high, pale brow seemed alive with the concentrated essence and cream of genius, with his piercing blue eyes hardly visible beneath their massive arches, but his clothes were so shab by that the court hesitated to let the case proceed under his management. “lias your name been entered upon the rolls of the State?” demanded the judge suspiciously. “It is immaterial about your rolls, sir,” answered the stranger, his thin pale lips curling up in a sneer; “I may be allowed to appear once, by the courtesy of the court and bar,” at the same time handing the judge a broad parchment, his license from the Supreme Court of the United States. The trial proceeded. In the examination of the witness es the stranger evinced little concern, each one being allowed to tell his own storv without interruption, tho’ lie managed to make each one tell it over two or three times. The exami nation being ended as counsel for plaintiff lie had the right to the open ing speech as well as the close, but to the astonishment of every one he de clined the former, and allowed the defence to lead off. Then a shadow might have been seen to flit across the eyes of Pike, or a dark cloud to mantle the brow of Prentiss. Col. Ashley spoke first. He dealt the ju ry a dish of dose, dry logic, such as rendered him famous in the United States Senate years afterward. The poet, Albert Pike, followed, with a rich vein of wit and a torrent of ridi cule, in which neither the plaintiff nor the plaintiff’s ragged attorney were forgotten or spared. The great Prentiss concluded for the defendant, with a glow of gorgeous words bril liant as a shower of falling stars, and with a final burst of oratory that brought the house down in cheers, in which the sworn jury themselves join ed, regardless of the stern “order” of the bench. It was now the stranger’s turn. He had remained apparently abstract ed during the previous speeches, sit ting motionless in his chair, his pale, smooth forehead shooting up high like a mountain cone of snow. But now at last he rises, and so near the wondering jury that he might touch them with his long bony finger. With his eyes still half shut, and standing rigid as a pillar of iron, his thin lips curl, sl'ghtly part, and the voice comes forth. At first it is low and sweet, like the melody of an incanta tion, while the speaker proceeds to tear in shreds the argument of Ash ley, that melts away as snow before the sun. Every one looked surprised. Anon he came to the dazzling wit of the poet-lawyer, Pike. Then the curl of his lip grew sharper, his sal low face kindled up, and his eyes be gan to open, now dim and dreamy no longer, but vivid as lightning, red as fire globes, and glaring like twin meteors. The whole soul was in the eye, the full heart streamed out on the face. In five minutes Pike’s wit seemed the foam of folly, and his finest satire horrible profanity, w hen contrasted with the inimitable sallies and exterminating sarcasm of the stranger. Then, without so much as bestowing an allusion to Prentiss, he turned short on perjured witnesses of Hopkins, tore their„testirnony into atoms, and hurled into their faces such terrible invectives that all trem bled as with ague, and two of them fled in terror from the court-room. The excitement of the crowd was be coming tremendous; the life and soul of the assembly seemed to hang ort the tongue of the speaker; he inspired them with his own passions and sat urated them with the poison of his own malicious feeling. But his great est triumph was to come. His eyes began to glare furtively at the assassin Hopkins, and his lean, taper fingers slowly assumed the same direction. He hemmed the wretch with a circumvallation of strong evi dence and impregnable agument, cut ting off all hope of escape. He piled up huge bastions of insurmountable facts. He dug beneath the murderer and slanderer’s feet, ditches of dilemmas, such as no sophistry could overleap, and no stretch of ingenuity evade; and having thus, as one might say, impounded his victim, and hemmed him like a scorpion in fire, he SAMUEL H. SMITH & COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH *7,1873. stripped himself to the work of mas sacre. Oh! then, but it was a vision most glorious and dreadful to behold the orator. His actions, before graceful as the wave of a golden willow in the breeze, grew impetuous as the mo tion of an oak in the hurricane. His voice became a trumpet filled with wild whirlpools, deafening the ears with c.ashes of power, and yet inter mingled all the while with a sweet under-song of softest cadence. His face was red as a drunkard’s, his countenance looked haggard like that of a maniac; and ever and anon he flung his long bony arms on high, as if grasping after thunder bolts. He drew’ a picture of the murderer in such appalling colors, that, in comparison, hell itself might be considered beau tiful. He painted the slanderer so black that the sun seemed dark at noonday when shining on such an ac cursed monster; and then he so fixed both portraits on the shrinking brow of Hopkins, that he nailed them there forever. The agitation of the audience nearly amounted to mad ness. All at once the speaker descended from his perilous height. His voice wailed out for murdered dead, the beautiful Mary, more beautiful every moment, as her tears flowed faster, till men wept and lovely women sobbed like children. He closed by a strong exhortation to the jury and through them to the bystanders. He entreated the pannel after they should bring in their ver dict for the plaintiff, not to offer vio lence to the defendant, however rich ly he might deserve it; in other words, “not to lynch the villain Hopkins, but leave his punishment to God.” This was the most artful trick of all and the best calculated to insure ven geance. The jury rendered a verdict of $50,000, and the night afterwards Hopkins was taken from his bed by lynchers and beaten almost to death. As the speaker concluded, a faint scream was heard, and the beautiful Mary Elliston sprang forward, and throwing her arms around the neck of her eloquent benefacter, pronounc ed, “Oh, my husband! my long lost and forsaken husbasd!” The two walked from the room together. Just as they were passing the door the stranger turned and announced, “John Taylor will preach here to night!” The sermon is said to have equaled his speech at the bar. I have listened to Clay, Webster and Calhoun—to Dewey, Tyng and lfctfomb, but have never heard any trWTig in the form of sublime words even remotely approximating the eloquence of Taylor, massive as a mountain and wildly rushing as a cataract of fire. And this is the opin ion of all who ever heard the marvel ous man. LIGHT READING. A schoolboy spread his teacher’s seat with shoemaker’s wax. The con sequences were cereous. One fact the reading public should understand: An editor never writes a single article that he expects will please everybody. Why did not George Washington’s sister go with him to cut the cherry tree? Because she had not got her little hat yet. It is hinted that a woman in Con necticut, whose speech was lately re stored after twelve years’ silence, is making up for lost time. If your neighbor’s hens are trouble some, And steal across the way, Don’t let your angry passion rise— Fix a place for them to lay. They tell of a woman in Baltimore who has provided herself with two hundred pairs of stockings, woolen and cotton. She is evidently intend ing to organize a hose company some where. Marrying a deceased wife’s sister implies either that the husband has treated his first wife kindly or very cruelly. If kindly, the sister wishes to experience the same treatment; if cruelly, to avenge it. A schoolmistress, while biking down the names and ages of her pu pils, and the names of their parents, at the beginning of a term, asked one little fellow, “What’s your father’s name?” “Oh, you needn’t take down his name; he’s too old to go to school to a woman,” was the reply. A Richmond paper, some time ago, gave notice that it would strike from its exchange list all papers which came to it containing the “Heathen Chinee,” or “Mary had a Little Lamb.” In less than a week it hadn’t an exchange on its list, and the paper was compelled to come out, for once, with some original matter in it. That editor says that he will not make any more such fool ish threats. Two gentlemen were riding in a stage coach, when one of them missing his handkerchief, rashly accused the oth er of having stolen it; but soon finding it, had the good manners to beg par don for the affront, saying that it was a mistake; to which the other replied with great readiness and kind feeling: “Don’t bo uneasy it was a mutual mistake; you took me for a thief, and I took you for a gentleman.” An eldery gentleman, returning home from church, began to extol the merits of the sermon to his son. Said he: “Jack, I have heard one of the most delightful sermons ever deliver ed before a Christian society. It car ried me to the gate of Heaven.” “Why didn’t you dodge in,” re plied Jack, irreverently ; “you will never get another such a chance.” A teacher, in trying to explain the passive verb to a class, said to one of the boys, ‘Now observe. If I say John is beaten, what is John’s rela tion to the verb?’ ‘John gets licked,’ answered the boy. ‘No, no, you blockhead; what does John do?’ ‘I dun know, unless he hollers.’ How to Pop the Question.— -The way John Stuart Mill proposed to the young lady who eventually became his wife, is ‘strange but true.’ ‘I wish I had your head, Mr. Mill,’ said the lady, on an occasion when that gentleman had solved for her a knotty point. ‘And I wish I had your heart,’ re plied Mr. Mill. ‘Well,’ said the lady, ‘since your head and my heart agree so well, I am willing that we should go into partnership.’ And so it was. THE IRISH UNIVERSITY BILL. The measure w r hich produced such an exciting scene in the British Par liament, and caused the resignation ;of the ministry, is unique in its pro visions. The bill was intended by the Government as a sort of educa tional compromise, or concession, in favor of the Catholic population of Ireland, although, strange as it may appear, its defeat was brought about by the votes of Irish Catholic mem bers. The main points of the bill, as set forth in one of Mr. Gladstone’s elaborate speeches, are these: It pro posed to form a grand central univer sity for Ireland and Dublin. Trinity Collides, the Queen’s Colleges, and the Catholic University, to be attach ed to the new University, holding the same relations to it as*the English colleges do to Oxford and Cambridge; the endowment to be $250,000 annual ly—the funds being drawn partly from Trinity and partly from the re sources of the disestablished Irish Church. To meet the ecclesiastical side of the ease, it provided that the university should never teach modern history or mcral philosophy and that there should be no instruction which rould offend the disciples of any religi ous creed. On this rock of religious neutrality, the ministry was wrecked. The ultra Portestant element would not endorse a measure which expelled modern history and moral philosophy, while the Catholic element, viewing the con cession already made as not going far enough, would accept no university which forbids the teachings of Catho lic doctrines. The fact that Cardinal Cullen, in a pastoral letter, denounced the bill, and that on the other hand it aroused Protestant hostility by con ceding too much to “Popery,” led to its defeat. The educational question, in its sectarian aspects, is becoming a bone of fierce contention on this as well as the other side of the Atlantic. —Nashville Banner. Hon. George F. Pierce, Jr., Repre sentative from Hancock county tor two successive Legislatures, who, in the estimation of your correspondent, is in the proper sense of the word, the most eloquent speaker in the present General Assembly. Though his lan guage is not quite so beautiful as that of Mr. Mercer, nor his logic quite as conclusive as that of Mr. Hoge, yet his manner is so impressive, his words so earnest and penetrating, and his voice so full of feeling and pathos that his speeches at times are irresis tible. In arousing feelings of duty, sympathy or patriotism, he is almost peerless. The most obdurate, the most hardened could not resist the spell of his voice and the magic of his tongue. His speaking derives much power from its climatic style. His hearers feel that what he says is strong, and simultaneously feel that what he will say next is stronger. At times he soars aloft so rapidly and yet so proudly that every eye is fixed to see Ids every gesture, and every breath is hushed to hear Ids every word, and his last words are scarcely uttered be fore the house is tumultuous with applause. Mr. Pierce is a young man and an accomplished lawyer, and dis tinguished as Chairman of the Judici ary Committee of the House. He has much of the fire and enthusiasm which characterized Ids illutrious un cle, Bishop Pierce, in his younger days. —Augusta Chronicle. The Hon. W. L. Love, a member of the North Carolina Senate, writes as follows to the Athens Watchman : I have just got a bill through both houses chartering the “Rabun Gap Short Line Railway Company.” The charter has extraordinary privileges in it. By necessary provisions every vestige of the “Blue Ridge Railroad” is wiped out, and the way is now o pened to capitalists who may wish to connect the railroads of Georgia with those of Tennessee, through this remarkable passage in the moun tain. It is the only line that can cross the Blue Ridge without a tunnel. Here the cut is not thirty inches. I think I will write you again on the advantages of this line, which has been locked up in the hands of “spec ulators” and “rings” since 1851. It is now open. The most matter-of-fact story of a ghostly interview that we have seen for a long time, comes from Des Moines, lowa. A young woman at breakfast, the other day, said she was much troubled by a dream, and con tinued: ‘My little niece, come to me, last night and says, ‘Aunty, I have come to bid you good by. lam dead.’ I said: ‘No, Agnes, you are not dead, and took hold of her. ‘Yes I am,’ she repeated, ‘I died at 12 o’clock to night, and have got to be in heaven at 1 o’clock,’ and said, ‘Good-by, Aunty,’ and disappeared. At noon, news of the death of her niece at mid night came. Negroes in the Army. —The Presidential election is over, Grant is in office for his last term, and Cuffee may go to grass. The Senate of the United States refuses to open all branches of the army to him. The question was tested on Wednesday. A letter-writer says it is amusing to notice how many of the Senators who were last winter warring for the pas sage of Sumner’s bill to secure equal rights to the negro are now indifferent upon the subject. In good time the negro will learn that all white men are, by reason of race, prejudiced a gainst making associates of their col ored brethren. Paris, march 16.—The new treaty between France and Germany pro viding for the evacuation of the French provinces was signed at Ber lin yesterday and the text is pub lished. German forces are to evacu ate all places they now hold in France by the first of July with the excep tion of Verdue and vicinity from which they withdraw on the sth of September The announcement is authorized by Dr. Deems, of the “Church of the Strangers,” New York, that Commo dore Vanderbilt has given $590,000 to Bishop McTyeire, of the Southern Methodist Church, to establish a uni versity in Tennessee. ‘An old fellow out West, over six ty years of age, has recently married a blooming lass of sixteen,’ says an exchange. She may bloom for a while, but she must soon wither un der the icy touch of such senility. Judge D. M. Hood, editor of the Rome Bulletin announces his retire ment from that paper in its last issue. Fail, Honseiold aid Garden. Pear trees should be pruned every year. Better have a large part of a farm woodland than half cultivate the whole of it. To prevent wood screws from rust ing and make them turn easily, heat them and dip them in melted tallow. They can then be easily unscrewed whenever desired. Hyposulphate of lime is recom mended for washig clothes, and it whitens them admirably and does not, like carbonate of soda, tend to injure the fabric in bleaching it. Common writing-paper, if wet with pure benzine, containing no oily matter, will become an excellent tracing-paper, on which plans and designs nmy be transfered. Horseradish Sauce.— Grate some horseradish and boil it in milk ; then add some flour and butter, mixed to gether ; also some pepper and salt, and the yolk of an egg. Let it boil up for a few minutes. Glass may easily be cut with any hard steel tool, according to the Bos ton Journal of Chemistry, by wetting freely with camphor dissolved in tur pentine. Ragged edges of glass may in like manner be smoothed with a fiat file. It is said that if the oil in a kero sene lamp is not allowed to burn more than half way down, au explo sion is almost impossible. The accu mulation of inflamable gas as the oil gets low is the chief source of danger. Churning Butter.— At times, from some peculiar cause, much diffi culty is encountered in churning. The butter will not come. There are instances of persons having churned the whole day to no purpose, which is certainly very trying to the good housewife. Asa last resort, try a ta ble-spoonful of soda or pearl ash, dis solved in a pint of warm wafer ; pour it into the churn while it is in mo tion, and if butter don’t form after this application, the operation may be abandoned as hopeless. Doing up Black Silk.— ls house wives wish black silk to retain its softness and lustre, and at the same time have the “body” of new silk, let them boil am old kid glove (cut into small shreds) in a pint of water till the water is reduced to half a pint; then sponge your silk with it: fold it down tight, and ten minutes after, iron it on the wrong side while wet. DISEASES OF HOGS. The Planter and Farmer gives these recipes for the treatment of chol era, mange, and worms in hogs: “There are but three diseases requir ing treatment, which are mange, cholera, and worms in the kidneys, commonly called breaking down in the loins. For mange, wash well with lye soap, and then pot liquor. For cholera, if I know the disease, as soon as you see the hog begin to droop and try to vomit, gag him, and give him twenty grains of calomel made into a pill. If you have been in the habit of giving your hogs spirits of turpentine at the rate of one table spoonful to the hog, put it on corn, and you w T ill rarely be troubled with this disease. “If the first dose of calomel does not relieve in twenty-four hours, re peat the dose. I rarely have to re peat it if administered in time. We sometimes see hogs dragging their hind legs. This is caused by worms in the kidneys, and may be easily cured by giving a tablespoonful of turpentine every morning for three or four days mixed with corn. Hogs which have been feeding on acorns are most subject to this disease, and should have the turpentine at least twice a week while feeding on this mast. Every hog-feeder should keep a bottle of the spirits of turpentine, and give it occasionly through the year; he will find it of great benefit to his hogs. I have practiced this for twenty years successfully. It seems to be a specific food for all hog dis eases.” [From the Southern Farm and Home.] LUCERNE. Mr. Editor :—lt is only by ding donging that we can make our farm ers adopt any thing new. For a long time they could not be made to be lieve that it was not the best way to carry grists to the mill, to put the corn in one end of the sack and a rock in the other. Dingdonging has shown them that carrying corn in the other end will pay better than the rock, and balance the load just as well. So it will be as to lucerne, millet, clo ver, root crops and sheepraising. If you keep it up they will see it at last, and the truth will prevail. Now is the time to ring the changes about lu cerne, the best and most profitable of all the forage crops, clover not except ed, for our people. If each farmer would set aside but one acre of his best land for this crop, break it as thoroughly as possible, buy fifteen pounds of sound seed, costing from sixty to seventy-five cents a pound, and sow it this month in drills wide enough apart to allow the cultivator to pass between them, so as to keep down grass and weeds, he will secure for himself a sufficient supply of green food and hay to support four mules during the year, ana thus help out the fodder crop materially. The first year it will yield three good cut tings, and if top-dressed in the fail every other year with a rich compost, or with two hundred and fifty pounds of superphosphate of lime, it will con tinue to yield four or five tons of su perior hay for seven or eight years without any futher outlay of money or labor. Ido not restrict anybody to one acre. I would advise your readers to sow several acres in lucerne; j but I know that if I can get people to try one acre this year, and plant and cultivate it properly, they will ex tend the area next year. It must be remembered that lucerne must never be pastured. It must be cut for soil ing (feeding green) or for hay. When used for the former purpose it is better to cut it the day before it is to be used, and allow it to wilt. It is no use to try to raise it on poor land, or on any land unless, until it takes possession of the soil, the weeds and i grass are kept cleaned out. Ding dong.
