“A poet’s hand and prophet’s fire,
“Struck the wild warblings of his lyre.”
CFrom the Hartford Review. J
THE STRANGER.
1 saw him, Lucy, only onee,
As down the lighted hall,
We moved to music playfully,
A stranger to us all:
A stranger, with a pale white brow,
And dark and meaning eye,
Which flashed like lightning on my own,
Whene’er he passed me by.
That soul-like eye! it haunts me still!
So passionately deep,
Like those which sometimes beam on as.
In visions of our sleep,
So sad as if some shadowing grief,
Had o’er his spirit gone,
Yet brightening as it caught,
The answer of my own !
I knew him not—yet even when,
I turned me from the dance,
I saw his dark eye follow me,
It could not be by chance:
I knew him not—and yet his tones,
Were breathed upon my ear,
So sweetly low and musical,
I could not choose but hear.
He spoke of sunny Italy,
Of Venice and her isles,
Of dark mustachoed eavaliers,
And fair Signora’s smiles:
Of music melting on the sea,
Of moonlight upon bowers,
Of fair hands wreathing silken curls,
With gay and pleasant llowcrs !
And when he spoke of lovely ones,
Or praised a soul-like eye,
His deep full glance was fixed on mine,
As if it sought reply:
The flush was deepened on my cheek,
My voice grew faint and low,
1 trembled at his earnest gaze,
’Tvvas foolishness I know !
We parted at my father’s door,
The moonlight sweetly shone,
.And I was standing at his side,
My arm was on his own:
He sighed, dear Lucy, how he sighed,
My eyes grew strangely dim,
It pained my heart to hear him sigh,
I could have wept for him i.
He spoke of disappointed hope,
Of dreams that faded soon,
The dew-drops of life’s joyous morn,
Which vanish ere its noon :
He spoke of loneliness of heart,
Of weariness and pain,
And murmur’d that a life like his
Was desolate and vain 1
He said his father’s castle frowned,
Upon a foreign shore,
(A castle Lucy, think of that,
He is a Count or more !)
That solitude was in its halls,
Chill, prison-like and lone,
Ungladdened by the smile of love,
Or woman’s kindly tone.
And then dear Lucy blame me not,
We wept with ono another,
You would yourself have pited him,
And loved him as a brother:
So handsome and sorrowful,
So haughty, yet so kind,
Oh dear—l cannot keep his look,
One moment from my mind.
He pressed my hand at parting,
And to-night he will be here,
While Pa is at his game of chess,
And Ma is nowhere near;
Excuse me Nearest Lucy now,
Indeed I cannot write,
To morrow I will tell you more,
He will be here to night.
P. S.—Oh, dearest Lucy, pity me,
I really think I am dying,
My heart is like a heart of lead,
My eyes are red with crying,
But yesterday the Bank was robbed;
And of a large amount,
My father tried the Robber,
And, oh God !— it teas my Count !

“ GROG, OR NO GROG.”
I am not very temperate,
Myself, nor am I semper at
My cups, good reader, nor do I
Expect or wish that when you're dr}-,
A’ou’ll drink cold water; ’tis enough
When we’re obliged to drink such stuff:
Nor can I ever sanction such
As love their Grog, and drink too much ;
But give it as a rule through life.
And ask no questions of )'our wife,
Drink punch at Noon, and when you dine,
You may also take your glass of wine,
"Tis wlnriesome also lor the body,
After wine to take your toddy,
And though at night, you stop your grog,
You’ll always take an anti-fug,
II you go out; for colds, be sure,
Are troublesome and hard to cure.
Then just before to bed you go,
I(s very well to ake a throw.
You’ve heard of new Societies,
Amongst this world’s varieties,
Call’d temperate—its all a sham,
Like yeu and I; they like their dram.

M ith all their scruples —and take it too,
Yet style themselves, the sober few ;
They would us, sober habits teach,
Butdonot practice what they preach.
Fortlio’ they mark as contraband
The best old cheer of every brand,
To suit themselves —there is no sin,
To gulp the Beer and Porter in—
Their principles we can't exalt;
They leave the spirit for the malt.
Maxims like these we eannot follow,
The malt instead of grog to swallow,
What! leave the soul-inspiring juice,
For stuff fit but for swinish use !
Forbid it love! Forbid it Cupid !
Oh, never let us be so stupid.
Believe me, reader, Liquors good,
Inmoderute use, digests the food ;
And tho’ they say, that slings andjulaps,
Will turn your nose as red as tulips
And bloat your face, and hurt your liver—
Pshaw, drink your grog,and thank the giver.

“ Other employments and arts serve for the em
bellishment, but Agriculture is necessary for the
support of human life.”
ESSAYS ON AGRICULTURE,
HV F. A. ISMAR.
Agricultural is not only a noble, but the
noblest profession on the face of the earth :
every thing conies from the earth, and with
out its culture we must abandon the idea of
?ny progress in politics and morals. There
was a time when nobody thought himself so
high as to despise agriculture, but when war
and artificial needs had created idlers, a set of
people who luxuriate on the labor of tire ac
tive and industrious man; when the laboring
class forgot, that in order to reduce to starva
tion the presumptuous fool who thought him
self superior, that they havo only to cease
their work; then the producer received an idle
master who despised the hands which fed
and clothed him. Wherever that happened
the laboring class must accuse themselves for
having been satisfied when their stomach was
filled, and their body clothed, not thinking to
instruct themselves so as to oppose the en
croachers, not only by material force, but also
by intellectual powers. The vile flatterers
of the people are always their enemies, and
will impose upon them a far heavier yoke, as
they were obliged to humiliate themselves
more in order to make the people slumber
over their rights and interests. In this free
country, I lidpc, pot only all men are equal,
but also inclined tb gain such useful know
ledge as to prevent sycophants as I described
to suffocate their good sense and liberty by a
bombastically oratorial steam. Here I hope
every man is convinced of the truth, that it
is not enough fora people to have the name
and an apparent exercise of sovereigns. A
man who knows the plough'of the field, and
the utensils of the workshop, only from des
criptiou and drawings, is a bad legislator for
the man who uses them with his hands. But
let me'not have the appearance of politizing.
I wish to say something about the field and
its culture, and shall merely by digression,
speak now and then a word of politics, (not
ixirty politics,) as far as it may generally con
cern the people of field and workshop. I think
it not necessary to say any thing about the
diffefent species of soil, and can substitute
these introductory words to that first part, of
my essays. I shall begin to speak of that
mixture of remains and putrefactions of the
animal and vegetable reign, from which an
artificial vegetative earth is formed, I mean
the dung or manure—a thing I think much
neglected in this country. The manure is
almost corroborans of the exterior erumb of
the earth, and a principal object of agronomy :
it is the vital principle of husbandry ; for it
increases and betters the vegetative earth,
and gives new force to the soil exhausted by
the plants. It is therefore called upon to em
power and enliven the ground. There are
dung materials and means of dunging. The
former are either dry or liquid, or green duny
materials. In the first class we admit. 1 The
excrements of all animals, also of man. 2.
The destruction of their bodies and bones. 3.
The obnoxious remains of butcher houses. 4.
The remains of workshops, fabricks, manu
factories. 5. The oils and oil keecks. 6.
Dead plants of the earth, and the water. 7.
Remains of walls. 8. Dirt of the streets. 9.
Stuff of malt. 10. Remains of tanneries. 11
Rust, Ac. In the second class wo place tho
urin of beasts and men. 2. The slobber of
the kitchen, the meat-banks, wash-houses,
breweries, workshops, fabrics, and manufac-’
torics. 3. The water of flax and linseed,
dairy, &c. In the third class we reckon all'
plants, f. e. peas, beans, clover, corn, wheat,
rvc, turnips, and other succulent plants’,
ploughed under in the full growing of vege
tation. °
The dung-means ore not properly to be
called manure, but only means to resolve, ex
cite and dissolve the bodies. They belon"
also neither to the animator plant sign, but
from that of tho minerals, f. e. lime, plaster
chalk, salt, and salt-ashes, salt-petre, and its
ash, ash of wood, potass, and ash of charcoal
bricks/ Farther, some things of a mixed na
ture must here be enumerated, as beino’ part
lv taken among the materials, partly among
the means of manure, f. e. compost, other ar
tificial means of manuring and watering *
* I have had occasion to observe in several
countries the advantageous use offline, particu
larly such as is made from oyster slc lls,but I think
it right to declare that I never saw this excellent
manure better and cheaper prepared than in Bris
tol. Pennsylvania, by Messrs .
They wish only that th* farmer may make a
fair trial, and I fed obliged to express not only
my belief, but my conviction produced bv obser
vation and experience, that never will the farmer
d,tain a more effectual and cheaper manure
These gentlemen sell the bushel at 121 cents
and pulverized at 18 cents. ’
But the dung materials of the first class as
the excrements, &c. are neither at' first rna
nure, but only dung ; and become only ma
nure after having gone through a kind of pu
trefaction, or (to be more true,) of fermenta
tion, i. c. when by the effects of warmth, and
humidity, the organic bodies (belonging to
the animal and vegetative reign) destroy
themselves, by which such a process is effec
tuated. This process of fermentation has
three stages. 1. "C\\e beginning of putrefac
tion. In this stage the warmth or heat is the
greatest, for the greatest part of volatile salt is
unfolded and recognized by the penctant urine
smell. The second degree produces the des
truction ; the heat decreases gradually, the
straw and other plants become brittle; in the
mass are produced salts; all becomes drier
and brighter. The stage is the burning. It
begins by continued destruction, so that the
the vegetables or plants lose their organic
texture, the anterior bodies reduce them
selves almost to ashes, and the whole matter
becomes a dry black earth, a pulverized vege
tative earth. It is evident that the second
stage is the best for use in agriculture.
It is evident that the second degree is the
best for the use in the field. We have there
fore to examine, how this process is to be
produced in order to obtain that second de
gree.
The first requisite is an orderly dunghill.
This must be so arranged as to aid the neces
sary co-operation of warmth and humidity.
Six things must be observed in this respect:
1. An equal distribution of the dung, i. e. it
must be well mingled on the dung-hill, f. e.
the various kinds of dungs, of horses, cows,
hogs, or privies, and must be well and order
ly intermingled and accumulated, in order
that the supcrfices be not decomposed, and in
the interior be prevented from becoming
mouldy. After the mingling, the accumula
tion and firm trampling of the clung arejan im
portant requisite. 2. A moderate humidity;
for too much of it hinders the fermentation,
and too little exposes the dung to being too
much dried and exhausted by the heat of the
sun. 3. An equal access of the air, without
which the dung becomes mouldy. 4. A mo
derate and equal warmth. Cold, as well as
too much heat, hinders the regular fermenta
tion; and by two much heat in particular, the
richest materials arc generally volatilized or
lost. 5. Rest. A continual motion increases
the exchange of air, and allows no interior
warmth. Let the dunghill be continually
trampled upon by cattle, picked open by poul
try, or turned by hogs ; it cannot putrify in
an homogenous mass. 6. Large dunghills ;
for small and negligently dispersed hills are
soon penetrated by heat and cold, become
soon dry and decomposed in place of putrefy
ing regularly. Large hills suffer compara
tively less by the change of temperature, and
i their putrefaction is more regular.
A dung-place should be made like the
hole of a privy, i. e. it should be water-tight,
therefore entirely lined with clay. For that
purpose no wall is necessary, and the whole
arrangement is neither difficult nor expen
sive. Its site should be to the north, its
form that of a rectangle, and its depth not
more than three feet in the earth. The dung
must furthermore, not rest immediately on
the ground ; but on a wooden grate, in order
to give a way for emptying the ley, which by
means of a gutter euters in a ley reservoir. In
several parts ofllolland, also at Mr. Fcllen
berg’s at Hofwyl, there is in the midst of the
dung-place, a pump, to take away the ley.—
Here now the dung is successively accumu
lated. The whole dunghill should not be
higher than six, seven, at highest eight, feet
above the level ol the ground. Each strata,
equally distributed with the fork is to be
trampled upon with the feet or with a roller.
Over the dung-place a light roof of loosely
united straw is to be built, so as to avert the
heat ol the sun and heavy rains, but to give
access to air and humidity. Towards the
south and the west, that roof must so much
exceed the dunghill as to avert entirely the
rays ol the sun. It is also advantageous to
plant trees around, at least brambles, along
the walls, and to place some boards on the
top. Finally, there must be gutters two feet
wide, four or five inches deep around the
place, in order to receive the rain water.
In order to facilitate the transportation of
dung out ofthe stable,(generally wanted in this
country to the great injury of the field, and
the health ofthe animals,) there should be a
door in the wall towards the dunghill, through
which the dung can be taken. It is useful to
have more than one dunghill in a large hus
bandry, for they present the advantage to
have partly s *> arated the dung of horses,
sheep, cows, Ac. by this means we are ena
bled to give to each plantation, that dung l
which is particularly wanting. But it should
be an essential condition for every dungplace
to have communication by the lower gutters
with the reservoir of ley. Often, but princi
pally during the summer, the dujjghill must
be blasted with ley out of the..reservoir, or
wash ley, slobber of the kitchen, and in ex
tremities with water. In order to accele
rate fermentation, and to terminate it in four
or five weeks, (generally it takes six or seven
otten eight weeks) the dunghill mustrecieve
a little salty things, i. o. vitriolic acid, crcm.
tartar, sal. glaubcri, cpsom salts, or plaster.—
Lime-water, 100 lb* water in which some
ounces of limestone, made ardent in a char
coal fire, and thus thrown into the water,with
which it is immediately sprinkled) has the
quickest elfect. 'Flic human urine is well
calculated for that object.
In some parts of Holland and Germany, the
dung is fermented within the stable, in* pre
serving the dung dry by continual addition of
straw, and allowing the cattle, hogs, and 'hor
ses, to stay several days during the summer,
and several weeks during the winter on it—
An active care prevents the loss of any excre
ments; the whole mass is perfectly united by
the animals lying, trampling, and perspiring
upon; the urine is entirely absorbed by the
straw ; the equal warmth of the stables pre
serves an equal putrefaction, and the dung is
sooner ripe. But this mode is injurous tothc
cleanliness, and therefore health ofthe ani
mals- The similar dung-stables, (if I dare
call them so) in this country, being in the
open air, without walls or roof are only calcu
lated to produce all disadvantages of that me
thod in the fullest extent, without presenting
any one of its advantages. In the next num
ber I shall speak more in detail about the
dung materials and their preparations, after
the three above indicated classes.

to which charge he pleaded guilty, and was

a very striking difference between one who

PROSPECTUS "
OF THE
KU.ISOST JUWffISfSS&JL
Aud Agricultural and Mercantile Intelligent-,
MY recent relinquishment of a participate
- in the editorial labors of an old and wel?
established journal, would seem to require but
f, w preliminary remarks, in the proposed under
takii g, were it not, that they are usually deman
ded ,iy public expectation, and sanctioned bv
cus cm. As there is no reason why this
-tu. le-honored observance* should be disregard
e.l 1 a the present instance, I shall submit
ome ot my principles, and the course which shall
be observed in conducting anew journal. The
object wf the proposed publication being purely
wh t its title implies, supercedes the necessity
of that political commentary which the doctrines
of the day have usually demanded; yet, as iu V
kmior professions are held with unabated at
lacl nnent, and there being no neutral ground, ip
the f onllicting and varied sentiments, which dai
ly .frise, as to both men and measures—it follows
th: t I should not only make an exposition of mv
po i'ical tenets, but also, that they should be
bo idly set forth, and fearlessly defended. I have
ev.ir indulged an ardent devotion to Republican
isi 1 as the term was understood by its advocates
m ’ttS—a sacred regard to the letter and spirit of
tlm Constitution, and a determined and fixed hos
til ty to every thing like constructive or implied
po tors—an extension of equal justice to all par
ties!—that all power is inherent in land derived
Ire n the people, as the original source and ulti
m: to tribunal—the independence and distinct so
ve {ignty ofthe States, and their confederacy as
a IJ.iiyn, under a government limited and actual
-y defined in its powers. These are the promi
nent articles of my political faith, and believing
in their correctness, shall abide by them in every
trill. 3
Among the many topics of deep interest that
agitate the people of all classes, is the exercise
of unwarrantable governmental influence on the
industry and resources of the country, and the
uijc institutional expenditure of the public treas
ur ; to objects of Internal Improvement—measures
tori frequently destitute of general benefit, and of
teipimes marked by a spirit of partiality, selfi>h
nejj i and injustice. It would be criminal for one
“seated on the W atch-tower,” and in the exercise
of ;the duties which belong to the Press, to ob
serve, with callous indifference, the causes w hich
ha ji.: produced, and the effects which have re
sult si from the latitudinary construction of the
U institution, ihe dangerous consequences which
m tv ensue, are already indicated by the excited
fedings of the country. lam deeply impressed
th it w rong has been done, and evil tolerated—
Y< L with a spirit of forbearance, it would be bet
ter for the oppressed to bear their evils whilst
th( Ay are tolerable, than “fly to those they know
1101 el'.”
1 he present is an era in the history of our gw*
erf incut,, distinguished ior improvement. The
lowr of his country beholds it 011 its “return
in well” to its original purity and principles.—
A toady has the distinguished head of the gov*
erfment, said—“ The successful operation ofthe
fi' Ural system can only be preserved by con fin* l
iff it to the few and simple, but yet important
objects for which it W'as designed.” Tills is a
guarantee, that the purpose of the present Exe
cutive of the Union and his supporters, is an ef
fort to restore, the Constitution to its original
In i.lthy aud unimpaired condition. lam happy
to iiccord with the Administration and its friends
in the wise and well directed course which is
pursued by them.
The time was. when to dissent from the men
seres of any of the prominent parties of our State,
by an attachment to any of the others, or to their
then distinguished organs, implied an hostility
ami acrimony which frequently lmd no bounds,
an 1 rendered “Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation,"
an empty and absurd profession. The times and
circumstances have now Becotne more congenial
to better feelings: the perplexing difficulties
which have surrounded us—those emanating
abroad, and fostered at home, have subsided,
with the acknowledgment of our rights, and the
successful accomplishment of nearly all the ends
which we have contended lbr. 1 can review my
pa jt course in relation to State affairs, with cheer
ing approbation; my future efforts will be inte
nsely connected with the past; and it is hoped,
without offence to an adverse party. The writer
di ( s not believe in the infallibility of man, nor
in their perfection as a party; it will therefore lie
m./ endeavor to support worthy men, and ap
pv )ve such orthodox measures as may emanate
from genuine patriotism and unadulterated re
publicanism—such measures as w ill best answer
the ends of our free government, and of our
.Ste le's interest:—such men as will “defend the
rig its ot the People, the Sovereignty of the
Sta tes, and the Constitutional authority of the
Union against all encroachments.”
11 shall he my studious endeavor to render the
Intelligencer an Agricultural and Mercantile ve*
Itic.e: to effect it, I shall hasten to possess niy
seli of all the necessary materials which these
arnjre subjects furnish, to unfold every snecifs
ot information which w ill be thought to instruct,
to interest, uml to please. It is believed, that
tne mutual conjunction of interest, between the
Merchant and Planter, cannot fail to render ac
tlJl'MWe to one, whatever may benefit the other.
| My efforts shall be used to procure the earliest
1 anil most useful mercantile information, and lay
I it before the public; and it will be my desire to
1 go into Rural Affairs, and garner the choicest and
; best offerings for my Agricultural readers.
