•—‘A poet’s hand and prophet’s fire,j
Ptuck the wild warblings of his lyre.”
’oft IN PURE RELIGION’S NAME
BY THOMAS It. HALEY, ESQ.
Too Oft in pure Religion’s name
Hath human blood been spilt;
And Pride hath claimed a Patriot’s fame,
To crown the deed of guilt!
Oh! look noton the field of blood—
Religion is not there ;
Her battle field is solitude—
Her only watch-word. Pxayer!
The sable cowl Ambition wears
To hide his lauTel wreath;
The spotless sword that Virtue bears,
Will slumber in its sheath;
The truly brave fight not for fame,
Though fearless they go forth;
They war not in Religion’s name—
They pray for peace on earth!
3Jy them that fear is never felt
Which weakly clings to life,
If shrines by which their Fathers knelt,
Be peril’d in the strife;
Not theirs the heart, that spiritless
From threatened wrong withdraws;
Not theirs the vaulted holiness
That veils an earthly cause.
From the New Monthly Magazine.
TOO SOON.
Too soon! —too soon!—how oft that word
Comes o’er the spirit like a spell;
Awakening every mournful chord
That in the human heart may dwell;
Of hopes that perish’d in their noon—
Of youth decay’d—too soon —too soon!
'Too soon! —too sorn!—it is a sound!
To dim the sight with many a tear,
As bitterly we gaze around,
And find how few we loved are here !
Ah! —when shall we again commune
With those, we lost I—too soon ! too soon!
Too soon!—too soon!—how with that tone
Bursts on our dearest hours of bliss,
And leaves us silent and alone,
To muse on such a theme as this;
To frown upon the quiet moon,
Whose parting light comes all too soon !
Too soon! —too soon ! —if e’er were thine
The joys, the fears, the hopes of love;
If thou hast knelt before the shrine
Of beauty in some star-light grove:
Whose lips, young roses, breathed of June,
Thou’stwept these words —too soon!—too
soon!
Too soon is stamp’d on every leaf,
In characters of dim decay!
Too soon is writ in tears of grief,
On all tilings fading fast away !
Oh! is there one terrestrial boon, .

Orchard Grass, &c. —Tire season for
eecding orchard grass, tall meadow oat grass,
&c. is fast approaching, ( and we have thought
that the following hints might be acceptable
to those intending to cultivate these grasses.
Many persons have failed in producing or
chard grass after much trouble in obtaining
seed and preparing their ground, and gener
ally the fault is attributed to the seed. This
may sometimes be just; but we apprehend
the cause of failure may as often be attribu
ted to the manner of putting the seed in the
ground as to the seed. It is a very light
chaffy seed, or rather an extremely minute
seed, closely surrounded by a large chaffy
husk; and therefore, if buried too deep, lia
ble to rot in the ground; or, if too shallow,
to remain dry on the surface. In a conver
sation with Mr. Robert Sinclair on this sub
ject, lie suggested that it would be well, in
sowing orchard grass, to adopt the English
practice in preparing the seed, which is to
spread out the seed four or five inches deep
on the floor, and sprinkle it with water, stir
ring it occasionally for 24 hours, so as to dam
pen it thoroughly before sowing it. This
makes the seed heavier, and it consequently
falls into the crevices of the earth better, and
is not so liable to be blown about by wind be
fore it is covered by the harrow. It also veg
etates sooner and better. W e also think that
the common harrow is too coarse an imple
ment for any grass seed; it is apt to bury
much of it entirely too deep, and at the same
time to leave some on the surface not cover
ed at all.. VVe have scon at the north a sap
lin thickly set with small branches and twigs
used instead of a harrow; but think that a
harrow with double the-usual number of teeth,
but these of only one half the common size,
would be much the best implement. This
would require the ground to be well prepared
-of course, but that ought to be done under all
circumstances. The tall meadow oat grass
is gaining rapidly in public favor, and will
doubtless be generally adopted. It is pecu
liar for its very early and very late and abun
dant-supply-of pasture, and is considered the
l est grass to sow with lucern, 12 or 16
pounds of the latter to a bushel of the former
being the usual quantity to an acre.

THE MaCON ADVERTISER. AND AGRICUETCRAL AND MERCANTILE INTELLIGENCER.
An ingenious attorney, who always made
it a point to get / .'<? case , was applied to by a
fellow who had stolen some potk, to defend
him. Accordingly, in his usual inventive
way he ruined the evidence on which the
plaintiff relied, and the jury brought in a ver
dict of not guilty. After the verdict was de
clared, as the fellow was leaving the court
house, he whispered to his attorney thus—
Squire, what shall l do with the pork, for I
have got it yet? Eat it, replied the lawyer,
for the jury say you did not steal it.

Jlonroe cosiuly, Georgia.
rrMIE undersigned, after great labour and ex
-1 pense, is at length enabled .to offer this esta
blishment to the notice of the public.
In a climate like ours, where ftie enervating in
fluence of long and warm summers is experienced,
by all, inviting the operation of causes, tending
to the production of autumnal diseases, it is an
object of no trifling import to the community to
have recourse to a situation in which the assaults
of disease may be prevented, its violence mitiga
ted, and recovery rendered speedy and effectual.
Such a place the undersigned honestly believes he
is offering in the Montpelier Spring.
Independent of the advantageous location of
this establishment ; situated in a region unques
tionably healthy; the Medical qualities of the wa
ter, are of a character entitling it to high claims
upon the confidence of the community.
The waters of Saratoga and Ballston have long
since, rendered them places of extensive re-sort,
both by invalids and persons of fashion. And the
signal benefits derived from their use by persons
labouring under Chronic Diseases (especially of
the digestive organs) have obtained for them well
merited celebrity—and from a pretty accurate
analysis, by gentlemen of competent science,
comparing the result witJi the analysis of the
Waters of Saratoga and Ballston, as published by
Dr. Mead, they find the waters of the Montpelier,
Spring, to possess, with a trifling exception the
same chemical qualities. Asa chalybeate eontain
ingmore Iron than thefovmerand less than the lat
ter, with a large proportion of the muriates of so
da and lime; the most striking difference being
the absence of imcombined fixed air, with which
the Saratoga water abounds. Of the beneficial
application of this water in disease, the proprietor
can bear ample testimony.
In chronic affections of the Liver, Spleen, and
their concomitant functional derangement of the
Stomach ; he can confidently assert that he has
seen no remedy of equal nature. In dyspepsia,
that Hydra of modern times, it is an invaluable
remedy, when aided as every remedy must be, by
he temperate use of a well selected regimen. In
diseases of the skin, and particularly Tetter in all
itsvariety, it is a certain remedy.! n dropsies from
visceral obstructions, chronic rheumatism, and
that relaxation and debility consequent, upon a
residence in low, unhealthy situations, its value
is noteasily estimated. Abundant testimony could
be produced to establish the truth of this state
ment, were it necessary ; but an intelligent com
munity will make the experiment and decide for
themselves ; and with their award the proprietor
will cheerfully rest the reputation of the Spring.
The undersigned assures the public that he
would not thus recommend tlie nse of the Mont
pelier water, but having been extensively engag
ed in the practice of medicine in Georgia for near
ly thirty'years, claims the right to judge of the
remedy ho recommends.
This fountain is situated in one of the most
healthy and best improved situations of Georgia,
seventeen miles from Macon near the road leading
from thatplace to Thomaston. His building is
large, airy and comfortable, situated on an emi
nence, high and commanding; surrounded by
springs of the purest water, and refreshed by an
atmosphere pure and invigorating.
The proprietor will be able to accommodate
comfortably one hundred regular boarders, and as
many transient persons as may favor him with
their company ; and as interest and liberality are
inseparably connected in such business, it is his
determination to keep as good a house in every'
sense of the expression, as is kept elsewhere in
the up-country. His BA R will be stored with the
best; his ST A BLES well furnished and attended.
His prices will be the same as those charged at
the Indian Spring.
Comfortable Tents will be prepared for those
who prefer furnishing their own board.

In commencing the publication of a new
ume of the Lady’s Book, the proprietors oUu
avail themselves of the opportunity thus oil
of again inviting attention to their work. rw
Notwithstanding (he necessary nnatoidah!
difficulties against which they have had to ,!
tend, they find themselves at the close ofthv
first year enjoy ing, through an unexampled
tent of patronage, all the advantages which belot
to old established and long prosperous tutblica
tions. For this liberality on the part of the j
lie they are truly grateful, and it shall be the!
pride and pleasure to pursue such means as wil
deserve its continuance. The same zeal and d*
votion which they have hitherto felt and exhibit
ted in regard to their work, will still be found *o
influence them, .and with the additional facilitg
now within their reach they hope to render &
coming volume even more attractive than tW i
which has just b'een closed. They have in rot
templation many improvements, a particular et
itineration of which they deem unimportant,
doubting that the promptness and fidelity \ v jj.
which they have fulfilled all former enga<reme|s.
have created public confidence in their°ability
perforin whatever they may feel disposed to L
dertake. They prefer that tjieir work ahouldfe
tested by its own merits, rather than rely for sj.
port on any specious promises which they m ;Lf
put forth. _
Since the commencement ofTuE Lady's Boh
the publishers have avoided all proper mattpri
offence to the proprietors of contemporary perioi
icals. In the occasional notices which they bay
felt themselves called upon to make in relation to
the progress and prospects of their own work
they have made no allusion which could be con.
strued disparagingly toothers. They have put.’
sued this course from motives of justice and rf
cy—as well because it corresponded with their
own feelings, as because they believed it would
contribute to their interests. They believed that f
with the American public no good end could be,
achieved by uncalled-for interference with the
rights of others,’ and they have vet to learn thatij-,
this opinion they have been mistaken, The pat.
ronage which they have hidierto received assures
them of the favourable regard in which their work
is (ield; and they know that they can only ] UQ j
for future encouragement in a. proper employ,
ment of the ample means within their power to
give increased satisfaction.
The publishers of The I.adv’s Book take
pleasure in acknowledging their obligations to the
conductors of the public press in all sections of
the country. The general commendation which
these gentlemen have bestowed upon their wot]
| is doubly gratifying to them because they hi?
j reason to believe it is deserved, and they know
that it has been productive of great advantage.—
! It is a source of much excusable pride tothepub
lishers that the comments which the Book lias
| dieted have uniformily been favourable. Inno
instance have they had the mortification of fad
ing their efforts, to please, unsuccessful, or im
properly appreciated. The publishers cannot be
lieve that the remarks, contained in a recent ad
vertisement of a contemporary journal, to which
their attention has been specially called, are
meant to allude to the Lady’s Book. The insin
uations there expressed concerning “cast-off pi-its,
mere reprint and mutilated music," can have He
reference to a publication whose costly embel
lishments and general merits have been for many
months a theme of general admiration and eulo
gy. They cannot think the publishers of that
journal spoken of so deficient in respect to a pub*?
lie upon whom they depend for support, as a
charge that public with a gross want of pa*,
ception, and an inability to discriminate in it&,
ters of literary judgement. The
The Lady’s Book know that the minds of sobs
men are sounhapily framed that they cannot
dure successful competition in those pursuits!*
which they may happen to be engaged; andthty
further know that those who are enviou3 of sup
rior desert are frequently prompted to the im
gence of a malicious spirit; but they will not $
lingty believe that the conductors of thejoiing
to which they have had allusion ought to be idtj
tified with either of these classes. On the era
trary, they are satisfied that the ambiguous en
sures thus spread before the public are intend
to be applied to some publication whose waaf
merit rendered it obnoxious to such condenfi
tion.’
l'he Publishers of The Lady’s Book Lave <b*
served that several monthly periodicals have not
only imitated the general arrangement of that
work, but have also attempted to follow their el
ample in illustrating the Fashion \ This tad
acknowledgement of the superiority of their }>la
is certainly gratifying, and they recognize it writ
pleasure; but at the same time they cannot ft
bear saying that as they were the first to into
duce successfully. tblk particular species ofembl
lishment, so they can now' present it in a foriirf
greater perfection than it can readily be accoi*
jllished by others. They do not make this reman
invidiously, but as an act of simple justiorW
themselves, and the artists employed undertJieir
directions.
In concluding this card the publishers renew
their assurances of steadily persisting in their e#*
deavours to improve the character o. The ladvs
Book. In its present state they have no fear ot
a'comparison with any similar publication, and
they flatter themselves that lhatime is not distant
when its superiority will ’lie generally ackniw
edged. They have no wish to boast of cop"
pondents iu Russia or “Constantinople,” satis#
that whatever they may require in this w-ayfi*!
can procure much nearer home. They are too
American in their feelings to .build their chiinsw
support upon foreign aid or foreign praise, tliotgn
both might he easily obtained without inctirnng
any serious expense. The publishers hate mo®
pleasure in receiving the unbought testimonials®
their own countrymen, than they could possiMJ
derive from any commendation of writer®
