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!

HOME, GA., FRIDAY MDRIIIG, JANUARY % 18.52. NUMBER 13. 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, .

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, .

" Johnson’s majority fordC 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.

Tho crop this year is still bettor, and he thinks equal to 40 buhscls to tho acre. In measuring, the half bushel was heaped con siderable. ; 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 fromNcw York city, liko Mr. Baker, who was laughed at for supposing lio could grow ryo and corn upon that poor old worn oat form.—N.

Put it in a stone pot, nnd keep it in a cold place. It will keep nil winter, and mako richer pies than when first prepared. Other pieces of beef will do instead. To Finish the Pie MixTunE.—Pare, core and chop some rich, juicy apples; take one- third as much oftlio prepared meat, add it to tho apples, with chopped raisins, lemon pool, nnd a quarter of citron, cut up; and sweet cldor enough to mnko it wot.
