MISGELLAIKOSS,
Mr. Editor:
Enclosed find a piece of poetry which
please copy into your next issue and ob
lige an Unknown friend,
October 1860. “X.”
Seta-Side Dlunings.
I’ve walked by the sea, when the tide was
receding,
And thonght how bright hopes like its
flood ebb’d away,
How fond ones have perished, and left ine
here needing,
Their counsels, their sympathy, as onward
I stray ?
The calm blue Heaven looked down on
the flood,
And the waters, urged on by the gentle
South wind,
Came up and knelt down on the beach
where I stood,
Dispelling the sorrows, entrancing the
mind.
Then the bright starry host peeped out,
one by one,
And threw their pure rays o’er the earth
and the sen.
While 1 mused o’er the scene, and enjoy
cd all alone
The song which the wiud and the waves
sung to me.
Oh, cold is the heart that can only find
pleasnro
‘Midst revelry and mirth ns they rkitnmer
along:—
They're goctl in their places—yet, oh! be
yond measure,
I worship great Nature—a friend and a
song.
How oft, when the full tide of fortune is
flowing.
‘The full glow of friendship is sure to at
tend,
But when the rude blast of misfortune is
blowing
Oh! where are the smiles of the cold
hearted then 1
tlh, give me a friend who can joy for my
pleasure,
Or weep tot my sorrow, or sigh fortny woe;
Such friend i.i my bosotn I’d hide as a
treasure,
A treasure this fond heart \VQuU never
forego.
Rodoj.PHE.
IloytS Superphosphate,
Oxpon, Ga., Sept. 18, 1860.
Messrs. Stovai.i., McLaughuk &Cos.:
Gentlemen : 1 see it. Thu Field and
Fiukside a report of Col. M. C. M. Ham
mond, of Athens, of an experiment on
wheat with Hoyt’s and Rhodes fertilizers,
acted fatal to tha crop of wheat instead of
increasing its yield, with a remark from
the Editor, calculated to discourage plan
ters who have not tested those feitilizers,
from purchasing. I must think there is
either a mistake in the hauling and thrash
ing of the wheat, or that some portions of
the different plots were much more killed
out by the. winter freezing than other por
tions ; lienco it could not have been a fair
experiment, and therefore ought not to
have been published.
It was the care last winter where the
wheat was most forward, and in the great
est growing state at the time of the freeze,
it was much the worst killed out.
The fertilizers (I have no doubt) having
stimulated the land to bring forward the
manured plots more rapidly, J have no
doubt but they were more killed out, leav
ing hut a very thin stand. There must
have been a very good stand on the un
mnnured plot to produec 15 bushels per
acre, as that is a very good crop in this
climate on good unnianured land with a
good stand. The wheat in this section
that was sowed iate, having had but little
sap in at the time of the great freeze, was
but little killed by the freeze.
1 will give you my experiment with
Hoyt’s fertilizer with wheat. About the
19th of February last, I had some poor
land well broke, and on the 20th of Feb
ruary I sowed it with spring wheat, three
pecks per acre, with about3oo lbs of Hoyt’s
fertilizer per acre, harrowing it in, leaving
a land through the field about 20 feet wide
which I did not manure. When I was
having it cut. I showed Mr. Glenn, of this
place, the land that tvas not manured, and
we both agreed that the wheat on each
side of the unmanured plot would double the
unnianured plot. The stand of wheat was
very good, and all about the same.
1 have also tested Hoyt’s the present
year, with cotton, and although the cotton
is not picked out, yet it is very plain to be
seen that Hoyt’s will make about three
times as much per acre as that which was
not manured, the land aud cultivation equal.
1 also tested Stovall’s superphosphate of
lime, which scorns to be equal to Hoyt’s.
Hia cotton phosphate not qnito so good,
yet it will double the unmanured plot.
)l will also give you tho experiment al
Ikaui Weaver, of this county, as reliable
as any man in the State, with Hoyt’s on
cot ton this year.
He purchased, throngh me, one ton of
Hoyt’s in the spring, and rejected a3O
; sere Arid of very poor lau-i to make the
’ experiment with Ills overreer ao4 bm
self stated to me a few days ago, that the
ton was put on 10 acres of the poorest
part of the 30 acre field, and that it was
all picked over a few days ago, and that
there was three times as much cotton pick
from the 10 acres ns was from the other
20 acres—the fertilizer having had the ef
fect of producing a partial crop before the
cotton was exhausted by the drought..
A number of my friends wishes to know
your lowest cash price for Hoyt’s super
phosphate by the quantity.
Yours trnly, D. Dickson.
It gives us great pleasure to publish the
above instructive letter from so reliable a
source. Hoyt’s superphosphate, unlike
that of Rhodes’ contains both ammonia
and potash, which adapt it better to the
WADts of wheat than the simple superphos
phate of lime. It also improves it for
corn and other cereals, and probably for
cotton.
Commercial manure has, we believe,
beeu used on Senator Hammond's planta
tion the. present year, and we venture to
say that the public would be gratified and
instructed to the result produced,
through The Field and Fireside.
Women as Disturbing Agents—Their
tfnreasouabieness anti Power of An
noyance.
A correspondent of the New York Times
thus writes from the country :
Why should women prove such disturb
ing agents?- Simply because they* have
no reason. You ask a woman for her rea
son, anil she always says “because.”—
You may press her still further, but she
never, gets beyond the “because.’ The
fact is, she has no reasoning powers what
ever, and you might as well attempt to
reason with a mosquito as a woman. She
slings you and then flies away. She is
governed entirely by her instincts, and
the only way to manage her is let her have
her own way —in otheis words not to
manage her at all.
Wedonot mean by this to decry the
merits of women. On the contray, let ns
* give the devil his due,’ and so wo ac
knowledge that women are wise, pretty,
soft little creature, with a good taste for
dress, fine perceptions of ornaments ; in
short, they are luxuiios that every man
can afford it might as well posses?. UuL
youmusn’t reason with th-,, any more
•“ VC<Vt would with your pet cat, and
here the analogy becomes very strong; for
what, after all, is pussy, hut a soft, lazy
luxurious animal, that does nothing but
take care of her person, and purr when
you pet her, but of whom you must beware
when she cnee gets her back up.
Now, say we have ten ol these luxu
rious animals in the house, with all their
several little whim 6 and caprices that must
bo gratified. Allow that eacli of these
has what is called “a husband’—a being of
the male gender who goes to town and
works all day, that lie may dress tliesi pet
of his. He hardly goes into the house
after his hard day’s work before bis pet
comes purring up to him—
‘Deary ! Mis. So-and-so said so and so;
and Mrs. So and so did so and so, and
there was such a so and so you can’t think;
and I think Mrs. So and so ought to be so
and so’d— there, that’s what I think.”
If the husband attempts to reason with
her she begins to cry, and says he doesn’t
lovelier. It he tries to soothe her, she
looks somewhat softened, but goes about
looking like a woman bearing a load ofaf
fliction with the utmost patience and res
ignatii n Hut it he simply says with a
firm and decided manner, “I'll see to it,”
she is proud of him, anc goes about tri
umphant—her husband is not to be trifled
with—and yet her husband, a man of ex
perience, does not “see to it,” and in fact
don’t think anything more about it. The
pet is satisfied, for she has what she wants
—sympathy and union offeeling.
Where Shall we Sleep ?
“I feci the daisies growing over me,”
said the dying poet, and solemn yet beau
tiful was the thought.
To mingle thus with Nature iu her
sweetest forms of life, is not to die; it is as
the passing of the soul through a vestibule
of June s own building, on to the inner
gates of Paradise.
To be wafted to the ail on tbe crimson
wings of fire; to leave a little dust for
token, in tbe bottom of an urn. is not dy
ing, a weary child at rest, close folded in
tbe bosom of the Earth. To lie beneath
Ia billowy maple on a hillside, green, and
sloping to the 6un, with birds singing in
the boughs, and threshold flowers soft toll
ing in the air, is no unpleasant thought.
The fever of tlej> world is all past, its
strifes all drifted over, even as tbe cloud
that sheds a shadow on the spangled heap,
and i asses on forever.
To turn immortal with the Arctic touch,
and wear the senseless robe of winter for
ashiond; to have the tear that parting
wrings horn trembling Nature, lie like an
imperishable jewel on the cheek of death,
has little charm. Tube let gently down,
some pleasant summer’s night, into the
cleft crystal of a lake, to one's last sleep,
would uot be to bid the light “good-bye.”
For them, as in tbe lower sphere ol the
I finished heaven, the form should lie. among
I the doubles of tbe stars, and tlm elii.uiner
|mg of the moon. Tbe dawn should red
’ den there, and the great sub tr# e qtieneh-
Terms—Sl,so Always in Athancr.
less tb- ’’ wat'-rs ; it w..nld not he
beyond the flight of day, that burial place,
and yet below the storm that wrecks both
sea and skv.
And yet there is a quiet charm in that
close fellowship with Nature on the shore,
as so simply told by Lnndor, a long timo
ago:
“The place where soon I think to lie.
In its old cieviced nook hard by,
Rears many a weed ;
If parlies bring you there, will you
Drop slyly in a grain or two
Os wall-flower seed?”
“I shall not see it. and, too sure,
I shall not ever, hear that your
Light step was there.
But the rich odor, some fine day.
Will what I cannot do, repay
That little care.”
The Empty €up.
If you were to sec a man endeavoring
all his life to satisfy his thirst by bolding
an empty cup to his mouth, you would cer
tainly despise his ignorance ; but. if you
should see others of finer understandings,
ridiculing the dull satisfaction of one cup,
and thinking to satisfy their thirst by a
variety of guilt and golden empty cups,
would you think that these were even tlie
wiser, or happier, or better employed tliau
tbe object of their contempt ? Now this
is all the difference that you can see in the
various forms of happiness caught at by
the men of *he world.
Let the wit, the great scholar, the fine
genius, the great statesmen, tiio polite
gentleman, unite all their schemes, and
they can only show you more and various
empty appearances of happiness. Giro
them all the world into their hands, let
tiiem cut and carve os they please, they
can only make a greater variety of empty
cups: for search as deep and look ns far as
yon will; there is nothing here to he found
that is nobler or greater than high eating
and drinking, than rich diess and human
applause, unless you look for it in the wis
dom and laws of religion. a
Re.ader, reflect upon the vanity of’ all
who live without godliness, that you may
he earnest at the throne of grace, to be
turned from the creature and seek for ban
“ir.css in the Creator, Toe poorest Chris
tian who livi-s upon Christ, and walks in
daily fellowship with God, is happier than
the richest worlding. Indeed, such only
arc happy.— Bogutzk ij.
No Postponement. —The story is rotated
of a lawyer who has since attained emi
nence in his profession : A case in which
he was engaged as counsel fertile def'etd
ant came up at a certain day. As lie was
insufficiently prepared, he was very anx
ious to have the ease postponed a few days,
that he might have further time for his
purpose. Unfortunately there was a grent
press ol business, and he knew that tho
motion would be overruled unless some
extraordinary reason was alleged. Under
tbese ciieumstances lie bethought himself
of an expedient. Rising, with his hand
kerchief to his face, ho addressed the
judge in accents of great apparent emo
tion : “May it please your honor 1 have
just been informed that my mother is at
tho point of death. My emotions are too
great to proceed in this case. I move
that it be postponed until day after to
morrow.” This request would, of course,
have been granted by the Court, whose
sympathies were strongly excited in his
behalf; hut at this moment, to the discom
fiture of the lawyer and tho amusement
of the audience, tho shrill voice of his moth
er was heard from the gallery : “Ichabod 1
Ichabod ! how often have 1 whipped you
for lying?” The case wasn't postponed,
nor was it gained by the afflicted counsel.
The Rule of the Order. —Two monks,,
one a Dominican, and the other a Francis
can, traveling together, were stopped by a
river. Tbe Dominican told the Fran
ciscan that, as bo went barefoot, be was
forced by tbe rule of bis order to carry
him across; that if be refused, lie would
commit a great sin. The Franciscan yiel
ded to this observation, and took the other
on bis shoulders. When they were in tbo
middle of the ford, the Franciscan asked,
the other if be had any money about him.
•Yes,’ replied the latter, ‘I have two
reals.’—‘l ask you a thousand pardons,
brother,’ rejoined the disciple of St.—
Francis, ‘but my order forbids my carrying
money.’ And with these words, he plump
ed his man into the river.
A ‘Fast” Girl. —ln the last number of
Frazer's Magazine the word “fast” as ap
plicable to the laii sex, is de fined as a
“combination of the less intellectual pur
suits of man with the less desirable attrib
utes of woman.” The writer proceeds iu
bis definition to sny that “a fast gial can
ride across country, smoke, shoot, play
billiards, bet and talk about dogs and hor
| ses in a truly edifying mauner. She uses
slang terms freely, and is defiant iu man
ner. She wears shorter and more vivid
Cetticoats, smeller hats, brighter feathers,
oots with higher heels and more plenti
fully decorated with little brass rings than
those of her slower contemporaries and
piques herself ou ‘reeding anything.”
