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.” ty Queer Kind of Love— A neuralgic affeetien, NUMBER 42.
