SONG FOR AUTUMN.
BY HARRIET MARTINEAIT.
Beneath this utarry arch.
Naught ie>teth or is si ill;
fut all thing! hold their march
As if by one great will,
Moves one, moves all;
Hark to the foot fall!
On, on, forever.
Yon sheave! were once but seed;
Will ripens into deed ;
As eive drops swell the streams,
Day thoughts yield nightly dreams.
And sorrow tracketh wrong,
As echo follows song.
On, on, forever.
By night, like stars on high.
The hours reveal the r train ;
They whisper and go by ;
I never w atch in vain.
Moves one, moves all;
llark to the foot fali !
On, on,forever.
They pass the cradle h- ad,
And the: ea | rom'se shed;
They pass the moist new grave,
And bid rank verdure wave;
They bear thiough every elime,
The harvests of all time.
(>n, on, forever.

CULTIVATING CORN.
Maj. Godman: I beg leave to say to
each one of your readers, my friend it
you be an Agricultural reader, and should
perchance, find similar views advanced in
other papers, please don't suspect me of
stealing others’ views, of putting them
forth as my own, for literary robbing is as
bad as any other. I wish to be understood
as to all my writings. Ido not write for
fame or money. I do not write to be
known. Ido not pretend to be original
and if I use the ideas, or the language of
others, 1 use what I regard as public prop
erty, and do not appropriate it to myself,
only using it, that the same property may
be more publicly advantageous. If you
find anything in any of my writings that
belong to Skinner, Buel, Gay ton, Allen, or
Lee, or any one else, act you honestly,
give it to whom it belongs. “ unto Csesar
that which is Caesar's,” and don’t distress
yourself about me. Another matter: if
you should know who this “Colo” is, as
many of you, no doubt think you do,please
keep it to yourself: at all events, don’t let
it get into Ihe papers, as my factors will at
once drop me. They are queer people
they write across the water and elsewhere
about Commercial matters, but we poor
clod-hoppers must not write from a Post
Office, not thirty-seven miles off, to you,
a> Editor.
About this corn story. So many know
how, anil do make corn after the best
method, that it looks like impudence to tell
how 1 do it. But there is John Smith,
you know him 1 Well, he is a good plan
ter, and is gelling along well, but he has
no idea that corn can be grown upon the
creek bottom, below his melon patch, to
the extent of seventy-five bushels per acre.
He grows, on rare occasions, thirty and
forty bushels, and would think it very
bad corn, if he ha 1 not two ears to a stalk ;
great big fellows, that a negro could pile
up on his arm. instead of requiring a bas
ket. If John will save all of his ashes, j
and burn some of the timber ihat is rotting
on the creek bank, for the ashes, and get
one-third orone-fonrth as much lime; mix
these, and when his corn has three or four j
blades, apply, say a table spoonful over
and around each stalk, he will find more
improvement than he is aware of. But if
he wants a full crop, he need not expect it
without previously placing his land under
fine tilth.
There is one thing worthy the attention
of all Southern men. The average crop of
the Slate of New York was set down, j
years gone by, at some twenty bush
els. Some county in New York is set
down as averaging only twenty-five bush- [
els; and yet, by dint of manure, high tilth 1
and good culture, sflme few make over one 1
hundred bushels. Yet. with this glaring
fact, Northern men all assert, and Southern
writers play second fiddle, that the South
is no place to grow corn largely. 1 am a
planter of many years standing; 1 have
labored long and earnestly to improve my
self, and to aid others; I pledge my char
acter as a writer—as an experimenter—a
a man, and as a , that good laud, suit- i
able manures, suitable seed, deep tilth,
enough stalks to the land, surface, level
culture, and early “laying by,’ 1 will do’
here what it does everywhere else. In
1850, lei every man resolve to do some
thing for our corn ‘and. home. Corn is
1 more important than cotton or money.
Let each one plant one and a half acre ; by
applying, say ten loads of manure, plow
eight to twelve inches deep, give another
dressing of ten loads, plow four to six in
ches deep, then one hundred bushels of
cotton seed, and ten- of lime and ashes,
, harrow these intimatelely, mark off corn
rows with a hull-tongue plow, sow down
one and a half bushels of corn, (with a
| small cob,) cover with a harrow, anil cul
tivate with shovels and harrows. Make
j rows three to three and a half, put a part
and leave corn twelve to fifteen inches
! distant in the drills. When corn is three
to six inches high, give a top dressing of a
table spoonful of ashes and lime, with a
‘ double handful of rolton cotton seed, hoe
soon after, so as to cover seed and ashes
\ Unless very unfavorable, count on one
| hundred bushels per acre. Let us prove
j that our soil and our climate, when treated
’ as Northern men do, will grow as much
( corn. But bear in mind, that large eared
[ gourd seed does not make the large crops
anyu-here.
Yours in Purity and Love, Colo.

OPIUM.
This drug is the juice which exudes from
incisions made in the heads of ripe poppies,
and rendered concrete by exposure to the
sun. The best opium comes from Turkey,
the East India kind is not so good. Opium
occurs in brown lumps, not very large
Good opium is hard when cold, but be
comes soft when worked in the hands. It
has a strong offensive smell, and is very
bitter to the taste. Proof spirit digested
upon opium, forms lau/lanum. Opium has
long been known as a deadly and danger
ous narcotic; it has been supposed that
the soporific effects of opium depended on
morphia, but in 100 parts of the best Ttnk.
ish opium only seven per cent, of morphia
can be extracted; but morphia is not more
poisonous than opium. Ure believes that
the deleterious activity of opium is due to
its union of an oleate or margarate of nar
cotine with morphia.
Opium is a slow and a rapid poison.—
People can accustom themselves to it, and
be able to cat as much as might destroy
the lives of three or four at one dose, who
were unaccustomed to it. Opium drunken
ness is a horrible vice of the Turks and
Chinese. Its drunken dreamsare pleasing,
but they reveal terrible results. The habit
of opium eating is perhaps the most dan
gerous of all others —the most alluring—
the most difficult to break up.
It is said that a great increase in the
consumption of opium has taken place in
America, especially in the Eastern States,
within the past seven years, and its vo
taries are found principally among our
women. It is a vice which should be
frowned down by every person,—it is a
drunkenness more deadly and vicious than
that of spirits in any shape. —Scientific
American.
THE HUMAN BODY AND THE
HOUR OF DAY.
Seat yourself at a table. Attach a piece
of metal (say a shilling) to a thread. Hav
ing placed your elbow on the table, hold
the thread between the points of the thumb
and fore finger, and allow the shilling to
hang in the centre of a glass tumbler; the
pulse w ill immediately cause the shilling
to vibrate like a pendulum, and the vibra
tions will increase until the shilling strikes 1
the side of the glass; and suppose the
time of the experiment be the hour of sev
en, or half past seven, the pendulum will
strike the glass seven times, and then lose
its momentum and return to the centre if
you hold the thread a sufficient length of
time the effect will be repeated ; but not
until a sufficient space of time has elapsed
to convince you that the experiment is
most complete. 1 need not add that the
thread must be held with a steady hand ;
otherwise the vibrating motion will be
counteracted. At whatever hour of the
day or night the experiment is made, the
coincidence will be the same.
The Delta of the Mississippi. —Sir
Charles Lyell’s book contains many inter
esting matters, and a good deal of geologi
cal investigation and speculation. He
estimates that the delta of the Mississippi
—by which term he means the rich alluvial
ho'toms below the Ohio river—contains ;
\ 4.000 square miles, and the “ level allu
-1 vial plain to the North"—the southern part
i of Illinois—he sets down at 16,000 square
• miles. And he assumes, from certain
| plausible data, that it required 67,000 years
: for the delta to accumulate, and for the
plain above 37,000 more, being an aggre
gate of 104,000 years. Thus making a
pretty free use of time, but geologists and
astronomers think they have carte blanche
to do so.
Causes of the Variety and Vividness
of Colors in Flowers. —The petals of
flowers do not owe their beauty to the color
that paints them, for that, when drawn ofl.
is dull and dead; neither do they owe their
brilliant tints to the skin that covers them.
Their lovely appearance is derived chiefly
from the bubbles of water which compose
their pabulum. Receiving the sun’s lays,
they are enlivened and brightened by re
flection and refraction from those drops of
water, and from that spot or point of light
being seen in every bubble, and striking to
the focus underneath By these means the
whole llower would at times be one blaze
of light, had not nature, to soften the same,
covered the petal with an upper and an
under skin, which curtails their diamond
like rays, and leaves them instead a light
ness and beauty unequalled by the most
exquisite art of the painter.

YOU CAN TAKE MI II \T.
BY UNCLE TOBY.
We were once coming over the railroad
from Washington city to Baltimore, when
we observed a peculiar sort of a man sit
ting hard by—a tall, slim, good-natured
fellow, but one who somehow seemed to
bear the impress of a person who lived by
his wits, written upon his face. A friend,
j who was with me, answered my inquiry
as to who he was, and at the same time
i asked me to keep between the object of
my notice and himself, lest he should
: come over to our seat, as my com
panion said he knew him, but did not wish
to recognise hint there.
“That is Beau H ,” said he, “a
man that is universally known in Wash
ington as one of the most accomplished fel
lows in the city, always ready to borrow
of or drink with you. He never has any
money, however, and 1 am curious to know
how he will get over the road without
paying, for he will surely do it in some
way.”
“ Probably he has got a ticket, borrow
ed the money to buy it with, or something
of that sort,” said I.
“Nithe. Beau always travels free, and
boards in the same way. He never pays
money, when wit or trick will pass cur
rent in their place,” said my friend.
“ What a shocking bad bathe has got
on,” said I, observing the dilapidated con
dition of his beaver.
“ It’s some trick of his doubtless ; for
the rest of his dress, you will observe, is
quite genteel.”
“ Yes, I see.”
My friend went on to tell me how Beau
had done his tailor out of a receipt in full
for his last year’s bill, and the landlady at
his last boarding place, and various other
t specimens of his ingenuity and wit.
j “He owed me ten dollars,” said my
friend, “but in attempting to collect it of
him one day, I II be hanged if he didn’t get
ten more out of me ; so I think I shall let
the matter rest there, for fear of doubling
the sum once more.”
At this moment the conductor entered
the opposite end of the car to gather the
tickets from the passengers, and give
them checks in return. Many of them, as
;is often the case with travelers, who are
| frequently called upon, on populous routes
to show their tickets—had placed theirs in
j the bands of their hats, so that the conduc
tor could see that they were all right, and
I not trouble them to take them from their
! pockets at each stopping place. I watch
ed Beau to see what his expedient would
j be to get rid ot paying for his passage. As
the conductor drew nearer, Beau thrust his
head out of the car window, and seemed
| absorbed in contemplating the scenery on
i that side of the road. The conductor spoke
to him for his ticket—there was no an
! svver.
“Ticket, sir,” said the conductor, tap
ping him lightly on the shoulder.
Beau sprang back in the car, knocking j
his hat into the road, aud leaving it in one
minute nearly a mile behind. He lookej j
first at the conductor, then out of the win
dow after his hat, and in a seeming fit of !
rage exclaimed
“ What the d—l do you strike a man in ,
that way fori Is that your business I—is
that what the company hires you for I’’
“ I beg your pardon, sir ; 1 only want
■ your ticket,” replied the conductor, meek
ly.
“ Ticket! 0, yes, it's all very well for
vou to want my ticket, but 1 want my
j hat!” replied Beau, bristling up.
“Very sorry, sir, really. I merely wish
-1 ed to call your attention, and I took the
only means in my power,” said the con
i ductor.
“You had better use a cane to attract a
1 person’s attention next time, and hit him
over the head with it if he happens to be
| looking the other way !’’ replied the indig
nant Beau.
“ Well, sir, I will apologise to you again
if you wish. I have done so already once,” :
said the now disconcerted conductor,
i “ Yes, no doubt, but that don't restore
my property ; that’s gone.”
“Well, sir, I cannot talk any longer—;
j I'll take your ticket, if you please,” said
the conductor.
“Ticket! Haven’t you just knocked it
1 out of the window, hat and all? Do you
want to add insult to injury
“ Oh,your ticket was in the hat band 1”
suggested the conductor.
“f u;posiig you stop the train, and go
back and see 1” said the hatless Beau with
indignant scorn depicted on his face.
“ Well, sir, I shall pass y’ou over the
road free, then,” replied the conductor, at
tempting to go about his duty.
“The price of a ticket,” said Bean is one
dollar; my beaver cost me a V. Your
good sense will at once show you that
there is a balance of four dollars in my fa
vor at any rate.”
The conductor hesitated. Beau looked
like a gentleman, to one not perfectly well 1
: posted up in the human face: he was well
j dressed, and his indignation appearrd most
honest.
“I will see you after I have collected
the tickets,” replied the conductor passing ;
on through the car
Beau sat in silent indignation, frowning
at every body until the official returned,
and sat down by bis side. Beau then, in
an undertone, that we could only overhear
occasionally talked to the conductor like a
“Dutch uncle,” and we saw the crest-fal
len man of tickets jay the hatless passen
ger four dollars.
The trick was at once seen through by
both my friend and myself, and the next
day, over a bottle of wine at the Monu
ment House, Beau tol l us he was hard up,
hadn't a dollar, picked up an old hat at
Gadsby’s hotel in Washington, put his cap
in his pocket, and resolved that the hat
should carry him to Baltimore ; and it did,
with four dollars into the bargain.
A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
An aged gentleman from the Borders
lately resolved to visit the famous London
town, and arrived in that city in the month
of June. A few days after his arrival,
having walked from morn to eve under a
sultry sun, he became fatigued, and wish
ful to rest himself, he entered Madame
Tussaud’s exhibition of wax-work, and sat
down. He had scarcely done so, when
I balmy sleep stole o'er him. A family party
coming up, the veneiable man in the chair
was taken for one of Madame T.’s wax
work figures, and, accordingly, the party
j stood to gaze at him. The sire nodded;
they admired!
.“Well,” quoth the mother, “how natu
ral !”
At this the father—a bit of a critic in
his own way—planted himself in front of
the supposed figure, and with all the sever
ity of an Elinburgh reviewer, forthwith
began to point out all its faults, and to
\ show thn many grievous errors into which
the artist had fallen. But all that he said
of its faults could not restrain the young
est girl from embracing the image—to be.
stow a kiss! She did so, and the Botder
er awoke. What the feelings of the par
ty were, it would be difficult to describe.
I One of them, in relating the incident, re
| marked that he had heard of the confusion ,
at the building of the Tower of Babel, but
be questions whether it was so great as
: that of the party on this occasion.

THE TRUE DIGNITY OF LABOR.
What is it that felled the ancient forests
and cleared vast morasses of other ages!
That makes green fields smile in the sun,
and corn rustling in the breezes of heaven,
whisper of plenty and domestic joy 1 What
raised first the hut. and then the cottage,
and then the palace ‘ What tilled all these
with food and furniture—with foo 1 simple, |
and also costly ; with furniture of infinite j
variety, from the three-legged stool to the
most magnificent cabinet ami the regal
throne ? What made glass, and dyed it
with all the hues of rainbows of summer
sunsets ? What constructed presses, and
books, and filled up the walls of libraries,
every inch of which contained a mass of
latent light hoarded up for the use of ages?
What took the hint from the split walnut
shell, which some boy floated on the brook,
and set on the flood, first the boat, and then
the ship, and has scattered these glorious
children of man, the water-walking ships,
over all the oceans of the world, an I filled
them with the produce of all lands, and the
machinery and steam of proudest inven
tions 1 What has made the wide sea like
! a great city street, where merchants are
‘going to and fro full of international bles
sings 1 What has made the land like one
great garden, laid down its roads that run,
like veins to every portion of the system of
life, cut its canals, cast up its lines of rail
ways, an 1 driven along them in fire and
vapor the a vful but beneficial dragons of
modern enterprise ? What has piled up
all our cities with their glittering and ex
haustless wealth, their splendid utensils,
their paintings, their mechanic wonders, all
serving domestic life, and its beloved fire
side delights 1 Labor! Labor! Labor! it
is labor, and your labor, men of the multi
tude, that has done it all. —Jloicitt
THE VALUE OF A TRADE.
Franklin’s advice in regard to the real j
value of a trade is certainly the best that i
was ever given to mankind, but the seduc- j
lions of partisan warfare have in a
measure prevented men from following Iris j
excellent rule. Men are too often induced
• to leave their work-shops by a bribe of a j
few paltry dollars, or the hope of gaining :
a lucrative political office at a future day. j
Thus it is that we see so many office- j
seekers rambling about our country cor
rupting the people by turning their thoughts ]
away from the proper course. Now I ask
any reasonable person if common sense does
not plainly show us that the business of
an industrious mechanic is worth more than
a beggarly office entirely dependent upon
the will of politicians or office-holders. A
trade once gained will never forsake us and
none are so independent as the working
classes. The whole world live, or should
live, by their industry, and they know that
with the blessing of Heaven their strong
hands must command comfortable food,
shelter and clothing for themselves anil
those they love. They are also well as
sured that by patience and perseverance
they can, in time, save enough to provide ,
lor old age or sickness, or to give to then
children if they should require pecuniary
1 aid. An industrious mechanic, therefore, i
needs no office and any who forsake acer- ;
tainty for such an uncertainty must be very
short-sighted.
We do not wish to be understood to say
that we require no rulers, but we do think
that now there are too many. We should
not try to make ourselves more dependent
than we are by nature. We are all free
men and ought always to be so. After a
parent has given his children a good moral
and practical education he cannot bestow
upon them a better boon than to assist them
to obtain good trades. 11.
