CARRIER’S SONG FOR THE YEAR.
Here’s a song for the year, for the.brave bid year
Of eigliteen-fifty-orie !
Here’,? peace and repose to his dying close,
And rest to airace well run ! :
Thisbrayeoid rrjan, he led the van
Ofa new half century ;
Aiid sights lie’s sben full as strange I ween
As e?et met a mortal’s eye!
, In our own goof State where the strife was'great
As tho’ ’twere a vast battle ground,
i Just t]imk wliati a clinnge ! as true ns ’ti$ strange!'
Not a tf/s-umon man can be found!
But a short'time ago thefi< c blazed so •
We thought we’d be burned up like straw!
But the smoke cleared away and a fairer day
I’m sure I never saw !
And Prex FillMOBE to the. Free-soilers swore
That the laws should be respected,; ^
That the traitors he’d swing With' a Kentucky string,
Where’er they-should bo detected,
Then old Bilack pan stood up like a man
Iii defence of the Uniow cause ;
He talked to the North and made them come forth,
And rally to defend the laws!
There’s Clay and Gass, and Stephen Douglas,
They’ve fought at the camion’s mouth ;
p Here’s heal tli and renown to them every one
For they’re all on the side of the South!
We’ll pass over Bliett, whose eye-balls seem set |
Like a blind liprse for single secession ; 7
One more word he can use—and that fits like old shoes—|
’Tis aggression—aggression—aggression ! 1
Now the battle is done and the victory won :
—Although ’twas no holiday job— ^
We’ll go .to our. rooms and with Senator Toombs
Drink a bumper to Governor Cobb !
And for four years to come in his Millcdgeville home
We’ll wish he may wisely bear sway,
So that when lie is done, things nmy smoothly move on,!
And the State Road begin to pay !
Then our wise legislators, unless they prove traitors
To the rights of the Cherokee Nation,
Will clear out the Coosa )( if not, let them chose a
.Retirement- from all public station!
And thb old Georgia State, as free and as great
As the fairest '.the broad earth can slinw,
Shall still be our pride, and we’ll stand by her side
To the latest—come weal or come wo !
And now by the way lest forget it I niay—
• You’ll guess I presume what I'm arter—
I’ll stop all my jaw if you’ll thrust in your paw
And pull out a generous quarter!

CHRISTMAS.
Tho following linos are so good In them
selves, and interest tlie little ones so much,
that they will bear publishing every Christ
mas. They uro from tho pon of Clement 0.
Mooro, aii American writer:
A Visit from St. Nicholas.
’Twas tlio nfglit before Christmas, when all
through tho house, '
Not a crcaturo was stirring, not oven a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chlmnoy with
caro,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would bo there;
Tho children were nestled all snug In thelt bods,
While visions of sugar plums danced through
their heads;"
And mamma in her ’kerchief, and T in my cap,
Had just Bottled our brains for a long wlntor’s
nap; ,
When out on tho lawn there arose such a clat-
t°r, ; K
I sprang lVom the bed to see whit was tho
motler:
Away to tho window I flow like a flash,
Toro open tho abutters nndthrow up the sash.
The moon, on tho breast oftlio now fallen snow.
Gave tlie lustre of midday to objects below.
Wlion, what to my wondering eyes should
appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew In a moment it must bo 8t. Nick.
More rapid than eagles ills coursers they came.
And he whistled, and shouted, and called
them by name;
“ Now, Dasher I now, Dancer 1 now, Prancor /
now, Vixen I
On! Comet,onl Cupid,on! Dondcrand Blixln;
To tho top of tho porch 1 to tho top of tho wall 1
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all I"
As leaves that before tlie wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with nn obstacle mount to
tho sky,
So up to, tho house top tho coursers they flow.
With the sleigli foil of toys, and 8t. Nlchola.
too.
And then 11 a twinkling I heard on the roof,
Tlio prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I draw In my head and was turning around,
Down tho cliimnoy St, Nicholas camowitlin
bound.
Ho was dress’d all In for from his head to Ills
foot,
And Ills clothes wore all tarnish’d with ashes
and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on bis back,
And ho look’d like a pedlav just opening bis
pack.
His eyes, bow they twinkled! his dimples,
bow merry!'
His checks were like roses, Ids nose liko a
cherry:
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And bis beard on his chin was as white as the
snow,
Tlio stump of a pipe ho held tight In his teeth,
And the smoko It encircled' bis head like a
wreath.
Ho ,liad a broad foco nnd a little round belly,
That shook, .when ho laugh'd, like a bowl foil
of jelly, ...
Ho waschubby and plump; a right jolly old elf,
And I laugh'd, when I saw him, In splto of
myself.
A wink ofhls oyo, and a twist of his head,
Soon giivo mo Jo know I had nothing to dread.
Ho spoke not a word, but wont straight to his
work,
And fill'd all tho stockings; then turn’d with a
jerk,
And, laying his finger aside ofhls nose,
And giving q nod, up tlio chlmnoy ho rose.
Ho sprang to his slolgh, to" Ills team gave a
whistle,
And away they all flow like tho down of n
thistle;
But I heard him exclaim, ere be drovo out of
sight, .
" Happy Christmas to nil, and to all a good
night I’’

Extract from Mr. Stark's Poem, read at Ihe
late Manchester, N. II. Fair.
The daughter si Is in tlie parlor,
And rocks In her easy chair;
She’s clad in Her silks and satins,
And jewols are in her lialr—
She winks and giggles and simpers,
And simpers and giggles nnd winks,
And though she talks but it little,'
’Tis vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad In his rassett,
And ragged nnd seedy at that—
qis coats arc all out at tho olhow;
Ho wears a shocking bad.liat,
He’s hoarding and saving Ills shillings,
So carefully day by day,
While she, on her beaux and poodles,
Is throwing them nil away.
She lies a bed in tho morning,
Till nearly the hoar of noon;:
Then comes down snapping nnd snarling,
Bocauso she was called so soon;
Her hair is still in tho papers,
Her checks still dabbled with paint,
Romalns of her last night’s blushes,
Rofore she intended to (hint.
She doats upon men unshaven,
And then with " the flowing hair,"
She's eloquent over moustaches,
They give such q forclgi) air.
Sho talks of Itnlinn music,
And falls in love with tlio moon,
And tho’ hut n mouse should meet her,
Sho sinks awny in a swoon.
Her foot aro bo very littlo,
Her hands are so very white.
Her jewels arc so vory heavy,
And her head so very field;
Her color is mode of cosmotics,
Though this Bho novor will own,
nor, body's mado mostly of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly of stono, .
Sho falls in lovo with n fellow '
, Who swells with q foreign air, r .
Ho marries her lor her money,
Sho marries him for his hair;
Ope of tho. vory. host matches—;
Rath are well mated In life,
She’s got a fool for her husband,
He’s got a fool for hlS wifi).

A story with a Moral
THE rREAClIEll AND Ills WIFE.
The (Jugal meal was over, and tho.wlfo and
mother was composing her children, nnd her
still bcautlfol face for the morning devotions,
when a sharp ring was heard ’ at tho streot
door nnd a coarso rough-looking man entered.
“ Morning, sir,” Was tho friendly snlutntlon;
“I como to soo If you’d go to Jim. Crawford’S
fonoral—it’s this afternoon.”
"Whoredidlio llvo slr1" elvlly Inquired
the clergyman; ”1 think I hnvo hot known
the person."
“Likely—for lia.novorwont to mooting ; ho
lives out In tlio flora ;. It's bettor than two
milos. But will you como to tho fonoral at
two o’clock 1”
" Yes, I will try to bo thoro in tlmo,” an
swered Mr. Morris.
“My dear," said tho wlfo, looking anxlous-
lyat her husband, “you'oughtnot to go so
for tilts chilly day, with your cold; nnd you
must not think of walking."
" I must go, Mary, and I fear I must walk,
for I daro not look my hill nt tho livery stnblo
In the Ihco. But, my children, we will ho
quiet now; nnd Clara, dear, you may read.”
Scarcely had the last petition oftlio good
ihittl'flodaway, boforo another ring of tlio
door-boll startled tho little flodt, and a green
slinwl and orango scarf mado -their appear
ance, aimwHnneoualy with their ownor, Miss
Crump, who was a thin, shnrp-vlsagodporson,
with keen blaok eyes which seemed always to
know if ii capo collar were put Jon tho least
awry; and every one knew that tho thlnost
fabric, or the shyest spider, never escaped
hor vigilnneo.
Miss Cramp was nccompatncd by her ijlcnd,
Mrs. Drako, who had such severe, sclf-righto-
ous expressions in hor fhee, that I always folt
in hor presence, in spit* of my hotter judg
ment, that Mrs. Drako was sitting near a vo
ry unworthy person. Her oyes seemed all
tho time to be saying, " I must and will do
my duty, however palnfol it may bo;’’ and for
that matter her lips novor quarrelled with
their neighbors.
Poor Mrs. Morris looked anxiously at tlie
undusted chairs nnd tables; Miss Cramp
looked with her two twinkling eyes nt Mrs.
Morris, nnd at tho same tlino seemed fo be
scanning every piece of fornituro in the
room.
Mrs. Drako looked wRU nwfol gravity at
her victim for some tlmo, nnd then she opened
those solemn lips and saM that sho had called
that morning on very Important business.—
She was very sorry, hut her duty, however
painful, must bo performed. She thought
proper that Mr, Morris should ho present, as
it concerned him vitally.
Mr. Morris, who bad gone to Ills study, was
summoned from bis unfinished jingo, to at
tend thu vitally Important matters.
Mrs. Drako looked at Miss Crump, and
Miss Cramp twinkled at Mrs. Drake, and that
lady commenced.
“ I regret extremely that I am callod horo
on such an unpleasant errand ; but you know
my dear friend that it would ho wrong in one
to keep silent any longer.”
MISs Chimp’s eyes twinkled now tilt they
scoincdliko two tiny sparks of fire. Mrs,
Drake’s sovorily Increased andsliO pfococdod.
“Itls reported, Mr. mid Mrs. Morris, In
this village, that you koep In ’your heuso
pack of cards, and that you are both in tho
Habit of s;iendlng wholo evenings with your
children in playing cards. This practice
very different from whnt you preach, Mr.
Morris; and tho influonco upon our peoplo
must bo most nwfol.’’
“ Mrs. Drqkq, said Mrs. Morris, I am sur
prised that any one knowing mo, should have
believed tho story for one moment.’ Will
you toll mo who your informer was 1”
"Why” says Mrs. Drako—looking vory
much ’I am• holler than thou’—“I am not
at liberty to givo names; but In tho first place
a young lady went into your imrlor In tho
evening, and she saw you nil seated about the
contrc-tahlo, playing cards. Sho said they
were hastily put intojj tho drawer. Sinco
that tlmo, people have watched a filtlc, and
haveseen you all doing tlio sumo thing re
peatedly."
“Have watched mol" asked Mr. Morris,
“howl",
“ Why, through tlio window, when tho cur
tains wore drawn aside."
A flash of Indignation shot across Mr. Mor
ris’s faco; but he was a minister, and down
wont the burning thoughts; they must not
pass his lips, although such impudence deserv
ed reproof.
Mrs. Morris’s hitherto distressed faco broko
into aYimile almost sarcastic, ns she walked
quickly to tlio drawor of tho sinning centre-
table, and took from thencoa bnndlo of cords,
each oho hearing a set of questions and an
swers,
“ Hero thoy aro ’’ said slio, giving them
tlio ladios; “our children call- them the
Scripture cards, and wo do often ask ami an
swer tlie questions, in order that we may
amuse and instruct them at tho satno time,’
Miss Crump guve two or three short, sharp
coughs nnd rose to ray good morning.
Mrs. Drake, looking ns ifslia-wcre tlio most
persecuted of human beings, also rose, nnd
raid sho full it to be Iter duty to pay somo vis
its in Silver street before dinner. '
Tlio pastot went with a worn look to
sormon, to take up the thread of thought
which had been so rudely broken; and
wlfo witli a long sigh to tho baby she had neg
lected for thh morning call. She had scarce
ly soothed it Into slumbor before sho was
summoned to tho jiarlor to meet Miss Dut
ton.
Tho lady looked at Mrs. .Morris with hor
littlo faded-put blao eyes, and raid—holding
up. at thq same tlmo a largo green bog, drop
sical wifi) q large amount of knitting, work
and halls—
“ Well, Mrs. Morris, I have come to spend a
part of tho day with you; quite in the family
way ; now don't you pnt yourself out at all.”
Then taking offhor bonnet and shawl, sho
sottlod herself in tho best chair, dragging the
, jknittlng from the green bag, and began to
.winding at the same tlmo
gatheredsfneo hef Inst visit. Bho Informed
Mrs. Morris that sho diued-tho other day nt
Dr. Hall’s, nnd that she liad nothing oil tlio
table that Bho could ent ; she never could
bear a boiled dinner.; sho did like something
Hint relished.
Poor Airs. Morris bdgan to think of the ro.
sources of her larder, nnd fled to tlio kitchen
to consult' with hor maid of all work as to fho
dinner prospects.
“ Biddy, you may got both tho steak and
salmon for dinnor.”
“ But you'll he wanting tho fish to morrow,
ma’am," said Biddy, startled by tills unusual
prodigality.
'< I know it but wo must do without It; Miss
Dutton is horo to-day, and as sho is particular
about such tilings, wo will try topleaso her. ’’
Tho dinnor which, was also relished by an
ngont for the amelioration'of tho condition
of tho Jews, ” boing ovor, Miss Dutton begnn
think of somo neighbors sho might gossip
with over h dish of ten, and soon took lior
leave, with tho groenbag, much to Mrs. Mor-
s comfort.
One hour of qulot tho tired mother found
her nursery. At tho expiration of tbnt
tlmo, a vory fot, warm-looking .woman, with a
butterfly daughter on hor arm, bustled Into
tho parlor; and Mrs. Morris left lior children
with a sigh, to have a session with Mrs. Hor
ton and her daughter Mary.
Mrs. llorion breathed vory hard, and vrtj»d

The secret of growing such a crop, where it
liad boon consldcrd usolcss for years before
to mnko tho attempt, is very. important, and
now made-public liy Mr. Rakot’s permission.
This Is it. Tho soil is a granite, dark colored
loam, based on a hard pan of compactly en-
mental gravel: IIo commenced upon four
and a half acres in tlio spring pfl840, and: by
lmrd scrapihg got three or four ’loads of ma
nure to tho aero, to which lie added 50 bamb
offish and 86 bushels of shell'lime, amithen
put tho plough up to tlio beam, nnd harrow- ,
od nnd ploughed again nndjplanlcd com, the
yield was 4G to 60 bushels to the acre.. An
soon as rlpo enough to cut up, he removed
tho corn and manured with 18 ox cart loada
to tho acre, say ono and a half tons to the lend,
of compost, mndcof sea muck, road wash,sods,
weeds, leaves and every substance that will
decay, oven bushdB, and of course, all the
butcher's oflhl, bones; and stufffrom the kitch
en, &c. Ho ploughed and harrowed heavily,
and sowed in September, one and a half bush
els of ryo to tho aero, and harrowed in smooth.
Upon half an acre, which every body said wan
so poor it would not sjirout ryo, he p«t 100
pounds of guano, and this made a bigger
growth than the remainder, After the ground .
frozo, so ho could cart over It, ho put upon
'ench aero, six loads of compost, as top-droaa-
ing, to prevent winterkilling. At harvest, the .
straw was generally seven feet high, and sold, ]
after threshed, for soven tons, bringing 0842. '
besides what ho used, from the four and a
hnlfncrcs. Tho grain weighed 6C| pounds to
tho oven bushel. Tlio stubblo was turned in
witli ton loads of inanuro to tho oovo, ml.
sowed with a bushel and three pecks of seed,,
and afterwards top-dressed with six loads.
Tho growth, last spring, was so rank, it Win
necessary to feed It off, and tho present crop
is tlio wonder and admiration of that part of
tho country demonstrating'as it does, that
tho land liad not run out for rye—ttwas only .
tho owner who had run out of common sensa.
and expected crops without spending money,
or labor, to fertflizo, or tfll, before planting
thosced-
Otao man, who had boon a former 80 yearn,
camo several miles to see what ho had never
seen before n crop of ryo that yielded 80 bush
els to tho acre. How many Rhode Island
farmers will ho induced by this account to pwt
In a crop in tho same way this season 1 Per-
liajis, not one, cxcopt It ho somo book former

was laughed at for supposing lio could grow
