BEGONE, BEGONE THOU TRUANT
TEAR.
Begone, 1 egone thou truant toar
That tremble! on my cheek,
And far away be borne the sigh
That more than words can .-peak.
And case, my merry l.arp, to wake
The song of former days,
And pe ish all the minstrel lyre
That framed these happy lays.
She loves me n"t who woke these strains,
Then, wherefore should they be ?
True, she doth smile as she was wont,
But doth she smile on me ?
Her neck with kindly arch ne'er bends
When listening to my song,
Nor do her passion moving lips
The trembling notes \ rolong.
Time wa% indeed, when she would hang
Enamored on my theme;
But ah, that happy time hath fled,
And vanished like a dream.
Peace, thou proud heart, and prate no more!
Thy sun of joy hath set,
And dark and starless is the sky
The troubadour has met.
[William Motherwell.
From the Great West
TO A BEAUTIFUL CHILD.
BY AMELIA*
My heart grows better as I gaze
Upon thy gentle face ;
And turbid though's of gi ief and caro
To dreams of heaven give place;
For in thine eye there dwelleth aye
The hue it borrowed thence,
And on thy lip there plays the smile
Os angel innocence.
’Tis said that angels sometimes como
And linger here below,
To soothe us by their gentle smiles,
And cheer us in our woe;
And I have deemed that thou wert one,
When thy low, thrilling tone,
With sweet yet serious eagerness,
Hath answered to my own.
An angel—oh but slioulu r at thou turn
Back to thy brighter home,
And leave us, of thy smiles bereft,
To linger on alone, —
Oh G;d ! forgive us if our hearts
From thee he hath beguiled ;
And spare to 11s our cherished oco
Our fair b owed angel child.

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT AT
WASHINGTON.
The Boston correspondent of the Wash
ington Republic writes under date of Oct.
22d, as follows:
“Our state legislatures in New England
are pressing upon Congress the expedien
cy of establishing a “ Home Department of
Agriculture.” I have before me a report of
the joint committee of the Vermont Legis
lature, raised to consider thissubject. They
adduce eloquent argument in behalf of the
measure. Washington, as is well known,
was in favor of such an organization.
About three-fourths of the population of
our country are engaged in tilling the soil.
“Our legislators,” it is said, “have not been
wanting in eulogies upon the antiquity,
dignity, importance, and pleasures of agri
culture; but where has been that fostering
care which would seek to encourage and
promote it 1 We have, at length a Home
Department; and the question presents it
self: Can it, and will it do any thing for
agriculture 1 It can, and we trust that it
w 1 11. The politii ians may seek to make it
ar. instrument for the furtherance of party:
and with the bug bear of “constitutional ob
jections.” they may tell us that nothing
can be done for agriculture under this De
partment. But let the farmers moving in
a mass, call loudly for a Bureau of Agri
culture, with proper and suitable patronage
from Government. In a hundred ways
such an organization might forward the
great interest of agriculture.” I trust that
the subject will be pressed upon the atten-1
tion of Congress. Among tile “ennobling
arts of peace,” surely no one is more wor
thy of legislative countenance and promo*
tion.”
The agricultural societies of Massachu
setts are petitioning the Legislature of that
State to establish an agricultural school.
That an institution of this kind will be put
in operation by the Legislature of N. Y. a’
its approaching session, we have reason to
believe. Georgia will not be far behind
her Northern sisters in availing herself of
what ever advantages may acciuefrom the
careful study of agriculture as a science.—
Cironicle if Sentinel.
Prof. Liebig, the celebrated agricultu
ral chemist, is about to visit this country,
where bis writings have bad a very exten
sive dissemination.
THE GROUND PEA.
This is grown in the Southern parts of j
the United States and also in the Middle
States, and comes to perfection where the,
soil is favorable —that is to say, a light san
dy loam, such as produces the best melons
and sweet potatoes. In the South it is
| called by the different names of Ground
Pea , Pindar Pea, and Gouber Pea. The
plant is an annual, with long, trailing bran
ches, and bearing its fruit under ground. Ii
is a native of Mexico, and extensively cul
! tivated in the West India Islands, where it
: is much eaten by the negroes as an impor-
I tant article of food. It is now cultivated
j ir. the South of France asan oil plant—the
| oil expressed irom the nuts being almost
equal, for table use, to that obtained from
■ the olive. It is very excellent for burning.
I A bushel of the nuts produces, by cold ex
i pression, a gallon of oil. By heat a lar
ger proportion can be obtained, but of an
inferior quality.
A communication, published in the Ta'-
lahassee Floridian , speaks in high terms
of the ground nut, or Pindar Pea, the oil
j from which is described as in some respects
unequalled as an accompaniment to the ta
ble, being clear and mild, with a peculiar
taste extremely gratifying to the palate,
rich and buttery. It is peculiarly adapted
to the preparation of salads, anchovies, &c.
Among plants, the writer observes, the
Gouher ranks deservedly as one of the
surest crops, not withholding a generous
yield even on poor land, and amply ac
knowledging the superiority of rich land,
if light and friable. The pea is easily
gathered, and with less labor than any of
the seeds or beans, is ready for the press.
When hulled, which is most readily effect
ed, and ground, the oil flows most freely
and uncommonly clear from the press ; but
when submitted to the known modes of
clarifying oil, it becomes liquid and pure.
When immediately bottled and sealed, it
retains great freshness, and a fine odor
highly agreeable to the amateurs of vege
table oils in the preparation of dishes. The
refuse after expression is admirable for
hogs, and the vine for stock, if not return
ed to the soil in gatheringthe pea; ifsaved
and cured, which is effected with much
ease, it mixes well in the cutting box wdth
the straw f rye, barley, oats and rice. The
product of the fodder alone is estimated at
more than a ton to an acre, and of peas,
when cultivated alone and properly, fifty
to seventy-five bushels. The plant—con
tinues the same xvriter —is cultivated much
North of us; but from fair trial it is found
that it delights in the rays of a warm South
ern sun, and that the product under such
circumstances is richer, possessing a finer
arotna than the oil from the same plant pro
duced in Virginia and Carolina. Oil is pro
duced with less labor and expense from this
pea than from any other seed, bean, or pea
we know of. It is hulled and ground by
machinery, and the press required for the
extraction is neither very powerful or ex
pensive. The production of this oil for
commerce challenges the early attention of
planters, and small as well as large capital
ists. Any quantity could be produced and
prepared for market, a great part of the la
bor being of that kind adapted to all clas
ses. Children, old persons, and even crip
ples—all might he engaged in the culture
and preparation of this new and valuable
product of the soil. After a little use,
there is no doubt that this oil would be
come a successful rival of the best table
oil of Europe.— Phil. Courier.
MANURES.
Manures assist plants, by destroying pre
datory vermin and weeds. This, howev
er, is not a property of animal and vegeta
ble manures; they foster both those ene
mies of our crops. Salt and lime are very
efficient destroyers of slugs, snails, grubs,
&c. It is astonishing bow ignorantly neg
lectful are the cultivators of the soil, when
their crops are devastated by the slug, not
to dress them so as to render the surface of
the soil quite white, during a promise of a
few days’ dry weather, with caustic lime.
It is instant destruction to every slug it
falls upon, and those whom it misses are
destroyed by their coming in contact with
i% when moving in search of food. It is
a common practice to burn the cough-grass
docks, gorse, and other vegetables which
are very retentive of life, or slow in decay:
a more uneconomical, unscientific melho!
of reducing them to a state more beneficial
to the land of whitch they were the refuse
cannot be devised. In breaking up heaths,
such exuvice are very abundant; but in all
cases, if the weeds, leaves, &c., were con
veyed to a hole or pit, and with every sin
gle horse load, and with barrow loads in
proportion, a bushel of salt and half a bush
el of lime were incorporated, it would, in a
few months, form a mass of decayed com
post of the most fertilizing quality ; the
lime retaining many of the gases evolved
during the putrefaction of the vegetable
matter, and the saltand it combining todes
troy noxious animals, which might form a
nidus in the mass. By this plan, nearly
all the carbonaceous matters of the relnse
vegetables are retained—by burning, near
ly all of them are dissipated. Theforming
of a compost such as that recommended, is
justified and approved by the experience of
many.
Stable manure, and all decomposing ani
mal and vrge'able substances, have a ten
dency to promote the decay of stubborn or
ganic remains in the soil, on the principle
that putre-cent sibstances hasten the pro
cess of putrefaction in other organic bodies
with which they come in contact. Sal',
in a small proportion, has been demonstia
ted, by Sir J. Pringle, to be gifted with a
similar septic property ; and that lime rap
idly breaks down the texture of organized
matters is well known.
There is no doubt that rich soils, or those
abounding in animal and vegetable remains,
are less liable to change in temperatuie

j with that of the incumbei t atmosphere,
, than these of a poorer constitution. This
partly arises from the influence of the col
or of soils on vegetation. Some manures,
I as salt, protect plants from suffering by
sudden reductions of temperature, by en
tering into their system, stimulating, and
rendering them more vigorous, impregna
ting their sap, and consequently rendering
it less liable to be congealed.— Gardener's

TURNING JACKS.
The New York Spirit of the Times
looms up extensively on card-playing
stories—(Scene always on the Mississip
pi,) at telling which some of its South
Western correspondents are particularly
apt. The following is not a bad speci
men :
* * * After supper they went to playin’
agen. I seed one feller drest rite fine, an’
had lots of gold chains an’ fixin’s on, an’
he was sittin’ at a table all alone, a shuffl
in’ a pack of cards, an’ bimeby a feller
cum along wot I had seed steerin’ the boat,
an’ this feller sez to him :
‘ Will you play a leetle game of yewker.
jes tu kill time 1’
‘ Don’t keer if I do,’ sez the steerin’ fel
ler.
I calk"late they both played toler'ble
tight, coze they quit beout even. Then
this jewelry feller sez to thetother:
‘l’ll bet you a hundred dollars I ken
turn up a Jack the fust time I try!’
‘An’ let me shuffle ‘em ?’ sez the steerin’
feller.
‘As long as you like,’ sez tother.
‘l’ll take that bet,’ says the steerin’ fel
ier, ‘an’ ycres putty !’ and they told ine
tu hold the stakes.
The steerin’ feller shuffled ’em a g-00l
wile, an’ then handed ‘em lew the other
one, an’ lie takes an’ turns over the hull
pack, an sez—
‘l've turned ‘em all four over, an’ won
the money.”
‘Not this lode ov poles I recken yew
hain't let’s see ’em.’
And then tother feller begins an’ deals
’em all ors, and they warn't nary Jack in
the pack ! So I gin the money lew the bote
man an’ he sez :
‘Next time yew fish for a sucker,’ look
eout yew don't 1 ketch a catty’—ef it's on
the Mississippy. That's yew're Jacks,’
sez he, chucking them at tother feller.—
‘ Stranger, let's cule our coppers,’ sez the
boteinan tew me.
‘Sartinly!’ sez I, so we went up to the
bar and lickerd.
That feller wot didn't ‘turn them Jacks’
went ashore the next time the bote stop
ped, and 1 calk'late he hain't turned nary
Jack on a boteman since.

A WESTERN ADVENTURE.
The Mississippi river used to be infes
ted with bands of hostile savages, or white
freebooters, who, exiled from civilized so
ciety, adopted the odious calling of prey
ing upon their fellow men. And many a
dark and bloody deed of piracy has been
committed on those hanks, which will nev
er be revealed. Judge Hall, in his Sketches
of the West, gives the following interesting
description of an incident which took place
on the Mississippi upwards of sixty years
ago :
“In the spring of 1787, a barge belong
ing to Mr. Beausoliel had started from
New Orleans, richly laden with merchan
dise, for St. Louis. As she approached
the Cottonwood creek, a breeze sprung up
and bore her swiftly by. This the rob
bers perceived, and immediately despatched
a company of men up the river for the
purpose of heading. The manoeuvre was
effected in the course of two days at an
island, which has since been called Beau
soliel's island. The barge had just put
ashore—the robbers boarded, and ordered
the crew to return down. The men were
disarmed, guards were stationed in every
part ol the vessel, and she was soon under
way. Mr. Beausoliel gave himself up to
| despair. He had spent all he possessed in
| the purchase of ihe barge and its cargo,and
j now that he was to be deprived of them
all, he was in agony.
This vessel would have shared the fate
lof many others that had preceded it, but
l for the heroic daring of a negro, who was
j one of the crew. Cacasotte, the negro,
was a man rather under the ordinary
I height, very slender in person, but of un
common strength and activity. The color 1
!of his skin and the curl of his hair alone !
; told that he was a negro, for the peculiar
characteristics of his race had given place
j in him, to what might he termed beauty.—
j His forehead was finely moulded, his eyes
J small and sparkling as those of a serpent,
j his nose acquiline, his lips of a proper
thickness; intact, the whole appearance
of the man joined to his known character
i fur shrewdness and courage, seemed to j
j indicate, that, under better circumstances,
he might have shown conspicuous in the!
: history of nations. Cacasotte, as soon as |
the robbers had taken possession of the j
j barge, began to make every demonstration j
of uncontrollable joy'. He danced, sang,!
I laughed, and soon induced his captors to
| believe that they had liberated him from j
irksom e slavery, and that his actions were
the ebullitions of pleasure. His constant
attentions to their smallest wants an I j
i wishes too, won their confidence, and
whilst they kept a watchful eye on the j
; other prisoners, they permitted him to
( roam through the vessel unmolested and ;
unwatched. This was the state of things!
that the negro desred ; he seized the first:
oppoitunity to speak to Mr. Beausoliel, and
! beg permission to rid him of the dangerous
.intruders. He laid his plan before his j
master, who afier a great deal of hesita
; tion acceded to it. Cacasotte then spoke to
| two of the crew, likewise negroes, and en
gaged them in the conspiracy. Cacasotte
was cook, and it was agree 1 between him
and his fellow conspirators, that the sig
! nal for dinner should be the signal for ac
-1 lion. The hour of dinner at length ar
rived. The robbers assembled in consid
! erable numbers on the deck, and statioi ed
I themselves at the bow and stern, and along;
the sides, to prevent any rising of the j
men. Cacasotte went among them with :
the most unconcerned look and demeanor
j imaginable. As soon as he perceived that
| hi*comrades had taken the stations he
lial assigned them, he look his position at
the hew of the boat, near one of the rob- j
bets, a stout herculean man who was arm
ed cap-a-pie. Everything being arranged
to his satisfaction, Cacasotte gave the pre
concerted signal, and immediately the rob
ber near him was struggling in the water.
With the speed of lightning he went from
one robber to another, and in less than
three minutes he had thrown fourteen of
them overboard. Then seizing an oar, lie
struck on the head those who attempted to
save themselves by grappling the running
boards, then shot with the muskets that j
had been dropped on deck, those who swam
away. In the mean time the other con
! spirators were not idle, but did almost as
much execution as tht ir leader. The deck
! was soon cleared, and the robbers that re- 1
; mained below were too few in number to I
oiler any resistance. * # * *
Having got rid of his troublesome visi
tors, Mr. Beausoliel deemed it prudent to
| return to New Orleans. This he accord
ingly did, taking care when he arrived near
j the Cottonwood creek, to keep the opposite
! side of the river. He reached New Or
; leans, and gave an account of h s cap
tuie and liberation to the Governor, who
thereupon issued an order, that the boats
hound for St. Louis in the following -jiring.
should all go in company, to afford mu
tual assistance in case of necessity. Spring
came, and ten keel-boats, each provided
j with swivels, and their respective crews
well armed, took their departure from New
Orleans, determined, if possible, to destroy
the nest of robbers. When they neared
the Cottonwood creek, the foremost boat
perceived several men near the mouth,
among the trees. The anchor was dropped,
and she waited until the other boats should
con.e up. In afe *• moments they appear
ed, and a consultation was held, in which
it was determined that a sufficient number
of men should remain on board, while the
others should proceed on shore to attack
the robbers. ’ r lie boats were rowel to
shore in a line, and those appointed for
that purpose, landed and began to search
the island in quest ot the robbers, but in
vain ! They had disappeared. Three or
four flat-boats were found in a bend of the [
creek, laden with all kinds of valuable
merchandise—the fruits of their depreda
tions. A long low hut was discovered—
the dwelling of the robbers—in which were
stored away numerous cases of guns, des
tined for the fur trade, ammunition, and
provisions of all kinds. The greater part
of these things were put on board the boats
and restored to their respective owners at
St. Louis.
This proceeding ha l the effect of dis
persing the robbers, for they were never
j after heard of. The arrival of ten barges
together at St. Louis, was an unusual
spectacle, and the year 1788 has ever
I since been called the year of the ten boats.'’
