•—‘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, . Our hear to luoc n-t owunl i* iUiRICILTIItAIi. 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. V #/. i Klj F S VO VPFMu, C ABINET dz EVKA'ITITtK MANUFACTURER. IAS purchased of Mr. Wm. R.

J3-lt tllo nt pelier tip Ft tiff, 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. NICHOLAS CHILDERS. Montpelier, Monroe county, May 18th, 1831. PREIIII.

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.
