A STORY OF RN OLD BA0HEL0R.,
There w us a tine old general once, w ho,
having spentl.inow of hbx life in the field of
Mars, knew-. very liMle about the vamp of
Cupid. He vas one of those rough and hon
est spirits olien met with iu his gallant pro-
fexsion, innocent its an infant of almost every
thing save high, iutfegritv and indomitable
butt cry. He was near fifty years old, and
his toils were over; when master Ban Cupid
brought him acquainted with a widow VVad
man, in whose eye he hegntr to de'-ect somu
thing that mttde linn uneasy. Hero was the
lemlt of leisure:
During his service ho had never seen any
thing worthy of notice in a woman’s eye.—
In fact, he would 1 scarcely have observed
vvheihcr a woman had lhre9 eyes in her head
or only one for no matter whete his own
eye« were. Ins thoughts weie ever among
” guns and drums und wounds,” and love
was n thing that live bin his memory just as
lie te ttenihered once leading a visionary sin-
ry hook culled the “ Arabian Nights’ linter-
luinmeiiis,” when a boy.
Well, .the General had settled down into an
amiable gentlemanly old fellow, living alone
with coml'ortublc wealth around him, und
hm ing little to do, snvt now nnd then to eii-
lerlain an old comrade in arms, which coni-
imnionship aiforded opportuniiy for him ” to

A Snake Story-
Some years ago there lived in Barnwell
District a Dr. W- , who was looked ; up-
011 by his neighbors as an excellent physi
cian, and highly respected by the whole
community ; hut tjie doctor had (as all men
nave except the heroes of novels,J a weak
point, mid this was cimccrtvng snakes. He
possessed n most perfect horror of every thing
in the shape ol a serpent . and often prophe
sied that he should some day or, other die
irnm tie bite of one.
On one fourth of July the doctor had been
invited to a pit; hie, mid on their return
home the party agreed, ns the evening was
very pleasant, mid the moon shining brightly,
to go by wuy of the river. Accordingly Huy
handed the ladies into the lioal. und shot ,d
off, having sent their horses home by auu'h-
er route |
Suddenly a tremendious yell arose from
vvheie the doctor was sitting, and he leaped
from his seal so violently ns to almost over
set the bent. Tlio ladies shreiked, nnd the
gentlemen seized the doctor "o pi event him
iVnm jumping uverbuuid,deinuudedthecuusc
of his alarm.
‘I’m snake bitten,’screamed he ; ‘I always
said I’d lie, and vnu »eo 1 wns right.’
‘Whe e has lie bitten you ?’ usked one
uf the terrified ladies.,
‘It dne-tn’l mailer,’ groaned he, pressing
both Imnd., toitbe tail of his coat I’m hit-
on nnd tlint’s sufficient. 1 always told you
Doit I’d tie killed by n snake, und you
wouldn't behove me. Now you see it bus
vome true,”
Toe poor fellow in spite of the agony he
xnflered, seemed to take tiieluncholy- exalta
tion in sh> wing them that his prophecy Ijau
lieen fulfilled
'But I shall not die unavenged.’ exclaimed
he, seized n walking slick und belaboring
most furiously something at the bottom ol
the limit.
‘Slop, doctor,* said one of tlio gentlemen,
very quietly.
The doctor, surprised at. the calm tune
in which this was stud, suspended his flag
ge lation and looked up.
‘ I should be very much obliged to you if
you would not demolish my whip eitirely,’
c intinued the gentleman, picking a -iding
chip which Imd tl e bundle curved in u pond
imitnLon of n smtko’x head.
‘ What!’ exclaimed the doctor, 1 isn’t it a
shake? Well, he must tie somewl.ee, or
else how could 1 tie hit ten ?’
1 I don't'know u l.e'her there is 11 snake
in the boat or nut,’sad the owner of the whip
hut this I do know, thul if a man comes in
to u h >nl u iih spun on, I 0 is very apt to sit
down u-mn theiu.’
Tlie do -tor sat down amid shouts of laugh

\Ve extract the' following from the Trans
suctior.s of tlie New'YorkSlate Agricultural
i'oeiety, being part ot the Legislative Agri-
cultuialdscusso-s.:
Him. Mr. Lawrence, of Yutex, stated that
’“the farmers of Yules improved tlielr land by
vory deep ploughing. The farm which lie
occupied nud been rented for ninny years
previously to its coming Into his poVesaion,
and had t> er. ploughed about 4 incites deep,
and produced 12 to 15 bus bets qf
neie. He at once ploughed it 6 or 7 inches
deep, and raised the first season 30 bushels of
wheat to tlio acre. It was the general im
pression in his county, that deep tillage was
the best fur all tpnps.
“Lieut Gov. Patterson said his experience
was in favor of deep ploughing, The wheat
lands iu the Ge leoseevuiiey, w h-i new,pro'-
Lived at out 15 bushels per a re. They
were ploughed .hallow; the farmers general
ly, had not .ten sufficient Hrcnglh of team
;t'| Imi'j. d cp. Now, they plough much
deeper than formerly, nnd obtain I'rpm 35 to
40 btichels per acre. In Livingston county,
3j bushels were obtained on some farms.
Some farmers mw piouglt 10, incite* deep.
Deep tillage has many udvantagex* ar. impor
tant one is, that it euables, crops to stand
drought.”
With respect to deep ploughing, we deem it
fair to obsetve, that although we Iihvo but
litLe dteam of the efierts to he procured by
turning up nny reasonable portion at sub-soil,
yet, we believe, that prudence would dictate
that caution should he observed in deepening

Hoqva.nd Crops ix Kentucky.—We ad
dressed n letter recently 11 a gentleman who
lots been traveling through Kentucky, and
has visited, perhups, every county in the
Slate,.relative to the supply of hogs nod the
prospects of the grain mid other crops, to
which we have received a reply. He says
the number of hogs in Kentucky tliis senson
is about the sume ns bust, but they will be
much heavier, nnd will consequently, yield
nn excess of both meat and lard, Feeders are
anticipating fine prices, and co n being plenty,

Make Home Seantifn!.
It is a true index of the progress of our
race to observe the regard paid fo home ;
and it is a consoling reflection that its sancti
ty Ims attracted, nt last, tlie attention it de
serves, l o be loved ns it ought, to awaken
the affection home should euspite, it must
he beautiful,eud worthy of being cherished.
When it is so easy 0 tiling to heaulilt and
ndorn homo, .is it not a mat ter of surprise
that so little attention in-this respect, is giv
en to it in many parts of our country ? In
deed, we may fear tlmt this neglect will be
come a “ byword-of reproach.” Ii is ruvs-
tuken idea that home cannot he made beau
tiful hut by costly oxoitcs Incentives of
the highest character, are held out to induce
then to plant nnd rullivaie shade trees. No
argument is needed lo confirm the truth that
shade trees promote henltli, that. they are
conducive to cnmfnri nnd pleasure ; and he
is truly to ho pitied who >eex no beaut v in.
trees, nothing majestic or grand in trees, Na

If mute is required to induce the growing of
trees nnd shrubs for shade and ornament,
compare the appearance of sbmeof oer vil

mile, scarce a soliary t'ee intervenes if*
gratetul shude lo bleak Ihetnys of a summer
xu 1 s rtinsling heat,or to. invite the cool re
freshing breeze ; compare one of iliese, (for
there ure ninny such,) .with the neat ■nd'
pleasant town whose Ntrrei nnd squares are
lAxtelully plumed with huiiStfno elms, maples
or locusts. Np|only : is the Aspect of the
