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.

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. fA'iiWza* 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 ej oa£]b aa a 9 w aago. ? ©& u Itll o 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 Magazine. ■gal in tpia ©ib flair!

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. - VULGARISMS REFINED.

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.'’ ]E©v®Em4R®m m (omlba2 TIJST RECEIVED, t the Xew Book Store, J o:i College Avenue, n large lot <f — X av 1100 l s, of vr.r.O’is kids; New ;tnl Fashionable Music; Toys and Fancy Articles ; India Eubber Doll I l-ads, &e .
