“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 !

COGNAC BRANDY, M. D. “ 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. “Mirth, that wrinkled care derides, “And Laughter, holding both his sides.” It was observed of the Duke of M ,that he frequently sent his fish to market. “I al ways took him,” said a great wit, “to he a selfish man.'" -4 plain distinction. A young man, who had been rather too liberal in his devoirs to the jolly god, was yesterday brought before the police, for certain uproarious conduct; to which charge he pleaded guilty, and was dealt with accordingly. But in the indict ment he was appellated a Printer ; to which allegation he demurred, declaring that he was a good member of the community of Hat ters. A bystander thought that a trifling matter, as there could be no essential differ ence between these classes of artizans. The court, however, took a different view of the case, and were of opinion that there existed a very striking difference between one who wrought for the inside, and another who wrought for the outside of the head.

Ib. A haughty General who had risen from ob scurity to the rank which he enjoyed, one day reviewing his troops, took notice of a man in the ranks, who was excessively dirty. Going up to him, he said, “llow dare you,Hon rascal, appear on parade with that dirty shirt? It is as black as ink! Did you ever see me so nasty, and with such a dirty shirt, when I was a private man?” “No, your honor, to be sure I never did,” answered the man, “but then your honor will please to recollect, that your honor’s mother was a washer-woman .” Lord Faulkland, the author of the play cal led the Marriage Night, was chose, very young to sit in Parliament, and when he was first cfctctcd, some ofthe members opposed his ad mission, urging that he had not sowed all his wild oats; “Then,” replied he, “it will be the best way to sow the remainder in this House, where there are so many geese to pick them up.” Froma New- York Papers “A name! ’tis but a word— no more than that, Which wayward fancy likes or does not like. ’Tis tho’t in Carolina, surnamed, North.

It was lately at the very witching time of the—tide,that several ofthe craft, assembled in a mysterious manner, on the wavef of the Scotch Master, and by magic (for at times we work by wit as well as witchcraft) we heard the following conversation; Crazy Jane cried to the Millers Maid, Catch me if you can. — Who would have thought it ? exclaimed The Farmers Fancy, Meddle Not, muttered the Sensitive Phut.

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.
