TO AN ABSENT wire.
"Tie morn—the see-breeze seem? to bring
Joy, health, and freshness on tU wing—
Bright flower*, to me ail strange and new.
Are glittering in the early dew—
And perfume* nee from every grove
A* incense to tlie cloud* that move
Like tpim* o’er yon weikin clear—
But i am sad—thou art not heia.
Ti* noon—a calm, an broken *le«p
Is ua the blue wave* of th* deep—
A soft base like a fairy dream
1* floating over wood and stream—
And m ny a broad magnolia flu wer.
Within im shadowy woodland bower.
Is gleaming like a lovely star
Bui I am sad—thou art afar,
»n» eve— on earth the suneot shies
Are painting theirown Eien dye*,—•
The star* coma down and trembling glow
Like blossoms in the waves below—
And, like some unseen sprite, the breeta
£ cents ling-ring aud ther-O orange tree*.
Breathing its music round the spot—•
But I am tad —1 see thee not.
*TU midnight—with a soothing sp«Ti
The far tones of the ocean swell
Bofcns a mother’* cadence mild
Low bending o'er h-r sleeping child—
And on eacn wandering breeze are hoard
The rich no’e* of the mocking bird
In many a wild and wondrous lay—
But I am sad—thou art away.
I sink in dream*—low, sweet, and clear.
Thy own dear voice is in ray ear—
Around my cheek thy tre-ees twine—
Thy own loved hand is clasped in mine—
Thy ow n soft lip to mine is pressed—
Thy head is pillow ed on ray breast—.
Oh! I have all my heart holds dear—
And I ara happy—thou art here.

TULIPS AND IlOSEfi*
K’jr Mary from the lattic’d grove.
Brought me a sweet boquet of posies.
And asked as round ray neck she clung.
If tulips I preferred to roses?
*T cannot tell sweet wife,” I sighed,
“But kiss me, ere I see the posies.**
She did—‘‘Oh! I prefer,” I cried..
“Thy two lips to a dozen roses.”
AGRICULTURAL.
IMPROVEMENT OF TIICSUILT
BY T- FANNING.
Time was, when most of the cultivated
soil in the United States was rich; but that
day ha? past. In many of the States, the
occupants of farms have wotked their
lands out of heart, and abandoned them
for more advantageous positions in the
“far West.” Many others «till cleave to
the homes of their ancestors, with little
other prospect than that of making a bare
Rubiistence, and the great majority of
American farmeia experience sad re
verses from tbo annual deterioration of
their lands. Tennessee, which is still
the greatest corn-growing State in the
Union, could once boa-,t of seventy.five
and a hundred bushels of Indian corn to
tho acre.
The question might b>* gravely asked,
why have these chmges occurred? A
bad system was at first adopted, and has
been persisted in. Farmers have had
too much confidence in the soil, and paid
too little attention lo its wants.
The great Bud’s motto “was to im
prove the soil and m nd;’’ his idea might
have been correct, but the order of the
subjects should he changed. The ?:>n
provemcnl of lUc soil, is the
true desideratum".
The means to enrich the soil a*-e nume.
rows. Every cultivator is obliged to have
at least a horse, a cow, a pig or two, and
a few sheep; ansi there is no problem in
arithmetic more clear than that from any
animal properly managed, more manure
can be made than will be icquired to
make produce to support it.
Suppose we try the pig first. Wo w ill
give it ihe poorest food of the place.—
W e will heat the expense of construct
ing him a good house, and preparing him
u yard with litter. Feed him on refuse
cabbage leaves, roots, scraps from the
kitchen, &c., and in one year he will
pay for his mansion, food, and the labor
of giving it to him, and furnish enough
manure to produce ample food fur i\\ o such
pigs another year. If any one will try
it, and plead disappointment he may draw
on me for three pigs.
The cow, in addition to paying evpen
sos by her milk, when housed and well
littered, will furnish an amount of ma
nure that will, by its scientific applica
tion, give food for one if not two cows.—
The same may be predicated of all do
mosticanimals. But, unfortunately, many
farmers loose the most valuable par.
tides of manure by exposing it to the
weather. Alter fermentation, the re
siduum is little beitt r than the like amount
of chaff.
The secret of improving the soil con
sists in knowing its wants and being able
lo supply them. The correct combina
tion of the different properties of a soil
must he studied. On some lands, clay
will be useful; on others swamp mud
will be found valuable; and on others,
sand will answer the purpose. Drain
ing is often advantageous, and many
plots may be irrigated to the great profit
of tho farmer. Few have studied the
value of green crops, oats and rye in
particular. One crop of oats consumed
on the field, will enable the cultivator to
reap double the amount the second vear.
The same may be affirmed of rye.
Soapsuds, wood asb.es, and charcoal
have a!i a tendency to improve soil.—
Another means of improvement is deep
ploughing—and the least, but perhaps not
the least valuable, consists in completely
pulverizing the land — Naturalist.

| TO THE LITERARY PUBt-lC
AMD THE PATSON3 OF THE
SCVTUBBA Ql AUTLBLi: ESEYIUTT.
t Sidb present is the huh year of the publication
-fi. of tuts Review, it having existed lor a longer
period than any fiiailar work over published at ilia
&outh, and longer than any of our monthly peri
odicals, except tho Southern Literary Messenger.
It has a circulation of two thousand subscribers,
widely scattered over every section of ilia youth
and 13outh-West,and, to soma extent, in the North
ern States. Established at a period of great com
mercial embarrassment, and continued down to
the present time, through an interval of general
depression in the monetary affairs of the country,
it has been only a strong conviction of the impor
tance and necessity oltueh a work at the South,
pervading all, and especially the higher classes
of society, which has enabled us to sustain it with
! a good degree of vigor. The extensive encourage
j merit afforded to the foreign periodicals, repub
lished at a cheap rate in this country, and to the
lighter and cheaper literature of the day, has ope
rated also somewhat against the success of a work,
j gotten up in a superior style of typographical exe-
I cation, and published at a more expensive rale.—
i Still, the Review is in a healthy condition, its
I patronage is steadily increasing, and it might be
j in a flourishing stale at this moment, if the debts
t due lo tho establishment, amounting to at least ten
| thousand dollars, could be collected even with a
moderate degree of promptitude. In the leading
: cities of the South, collections are m.ule by agents
; readily enough, but to small towns and vi luges
t situated at a distance from the place of publtca-
Ition, it is impracticable lo send agents, except at a
greater cost than the actual vaiue of the subscrip
tions. The consequence is, that they are often tin*
! collected; —the subscribers, occupied with more
i weighty matter*, neglect to remit, and ine sub
| eruptions accumulate from year to year. This is
1 one of the principal reasons, why, owing to a want
1 of those means for carrying on the work with spirit,
w’hieh are withheld through mere inattention, but
which, if promptly received, would be ample for
the purpose, the publication of the work is some
times delayed, (as it is in the present quarter) be
yond the time when it ought to appear. Wo have
ueyer, from motives of delicacy, aliftled to. Such
j matters before. We have never, through ihe (Sages
! of this work, asked our subscribers to transmit
j their suh-criptions. We now respectfully solicit
ail those patron* of the Review who reside at a
distance, in the interior of the States, and not those
on the ordinary route between this city and New-
Orleans, (from whom vve intend to collect in per
son) to transmit their subscriptions, at their eariie t
j convenience, through postmasters, in accordance
| with provisions of the law, and at our rUk. An
{ acknowledgment of the receipt of the money will
' be made iii an appendix to the Review, in which
} will hereafter appear an entry of all payments made
; during the year. Wo hope this course will be
i agreeable to our patrons, am! vve most respectfully
| and urgently solicit their attention to a matter so
j essential to the prosperity of the work,
i We would now say to the literary public in gen
! oral, and to that of the South in particular, that
| the experiment of this Review proves that the
■ South is both able and well disposed to sustain
i such an enterprize. All that is necessary to its
1 permanence auJ prosperity, is prompt payments
I and increased efforts, hy its friends and supporters,
to extend its circulation. Two thousand subscri
i bers is an excellent beginning, but if liberal re
! wards are to be paid to writers for literary labor, a
I much larger circulation is indispensable. We
I a-<k public spirited gentlemen at the South every
j where to aid «s, by such personal efforts as they
: can bestow, in obtaining a still wider, more en
i conraging, and permanent patronage.

cough, and there were frequently weeks together that I
could not speak above a w hisper: a.id besides, the iufla
tnatioa from my throat extended into my head, so that my
hearing was very much impaired. Aftei taking the Sarsa

Messrs. A B ff D Sands — Gents: Feeling it aduty to
you and the community at large, 1 send you this certifi

«re now suffering may have their confidence established
and useyour medicine without delay.
Iwaslroub'ed with a severe ulcer on ray ankle,which
extended halfway up to the knee, discharging \ ery ofi'eu

I have deferred sending you this certificate one year
since ihe cu ,- e was efiected, in order to ascertain with cer

Messrs. Sands —l deem it an ant ol justice to myself
»mj the community at large, torelate the following f u cts
w hichoccurred 1 a our neighborhood in the latter part of
July last. JanoC , ayoung girl aged fourteen years,
wasafflictedwith.au immense sure on the middle of her
back,which defied all the treatmentof medical skill. As
she was a friend ofourfamiiy,! employed all the means ju
my power in endeavoringto relieve her, but in vain. At
last some person mentioned tome your Sarsaparilla, and
I immediately procured two bottles ofMessrs. Mosely &.
Tucker, your Ageut> in tins city, which 1 gave to her. I
called to see her the next day and she lold me she had ta
ken two doses and felt very much relieved. 1 laughed im
moderately at this, but she said it was really so, and, gen
tlemen,in a w ord, in tw r o weeks from the time she, com
menced using it, there was neither sign nor appearance
of where thesore had been. Yours,respectfully,

DR. JOEL BRANHAM’S
LIVER AND DYSPEPTIC
MEDICINE.
SN offering this valuable medicine to the people !
of Georgia, for the relief and cure of many dis- ;
eases incident to a southern climate, J do not claim \
for it infalibility; neither do 1 say it will cure all I
1 diseases. But in Chronic Liver Affections and Dys- I
pepsia, I can confidently advise and recommend its i
use, from my personal observation a*id use of the I
article in my own practice. This article is favora- j
bly received wherever it has been used. lam al- |
lowed to refer to Mr. George Heard of Troup, Air. j
John Warren of Columbus, Mr. McKaffee of Cobb,
Mr. Asbury Hull of Athens, Mr. William D. Ter- i
rell of Putnam, Rev. John E. Dawson of Lagrange;
to which a great number of names might be added,
who bear their testimony to its value. Dr. Henry j
Branham has used lids medicine in his own ca.-e, j
and has prescribed It to many others, gives it as his
opinion, that it is one of the safest and most valua- ,
ble medicines that can be used in imperfect diges- ;
tion, liver complaints, constipation and irregular j
state of the bowels. It is useful in bilious com
plaints, to persons recovering from bilious fevers, >
and in sick or nervous bead-ache. To pregnant
women, who are subject to costiveness, this medi- i
cine is well suited. In regulating the state of the
stomach and bowels, and promoting digestion, it is
particularly useful.
I could append a long list of certificates, but for
bear, prefering to rely on the virtues of the medi
cine to sustain itself. The medicine is a genile
and certain cathartic, tonic and sudorific.

Macon, Ga ,27th April, 1646.
This may certify, that i was attacked Inst Octo
ber with Bilious Fever, and called in my family
physician tan eminent one; Dr. Boon, to treat my
i ase, but though no lime had been lost in procur
ing his assistance, I got worse and worse, and con
tinued to sink from Ihe combined attack of the dis
ease, and a rising which had ju>t then made its ap
pearance on my body, and notwithstanding too
continued and strict uiienuon ol Drs. B( on A Kola
son, i got so low, that on the fourteenth day, i was
thought lo he dy mg, and as I have since under
stood was so pronounced by the physicians, to rc\ •
end ot my friends, next morning, being the extent
of nine that was allowed me ol lilo ; and to ad hu
man appearance, well might they say so, for I ha 1
been having hickups almost constantly loi six day*
and nigliis, the pans around the rising were morti
fied and perfectly black, exud.ng a thin green loeud
matter, wtiicii was almost intolerable to thus*
who were around me, marling and twitching of
the tendons were also present, and my expectora
tion laid become quite black—in fact, as J am in
formed, rny friends were in hourly expectation of
witnessing my hind exit, when n was suggested
that as Dr. Thomson had already raiseu st.rnu
ilespeiaie and given over cases, he might possibly
be able to do something in lias; a drowning man
w ill catch at straw s, and my friends with lias view
had him sent for, but he would not undertake tJit*
case till he ascertained positively that it nad been
given out by the others, on ascertaining w Inch, he
then took charge of it, and to die utter astonish
ment of all w ho saw me, succeeded in restoring me
to health ; my hickups, ceased, the mortified pieces
of Jlesh dropped ojf, and left the other parts in a tine
healthy condition, and 1 now feel that, by the
blessing of God and die Doclor’sskill, 1 have a new
lease of life, having been restored back almost from
the grave lo the love and bosom of my grateful
family. DREWRY THOMPSON.
This may certify that we the undersigned, saw
and were witnesses to most of these facis above
staled, and do not think diere is die least exoggera
tion in the whole statement—whalevennay he said
as to the means used,l/tw was certainly a remaika

I do hereby certify, that my daughter, Ann Eliza,
j w r as attacked about three years ago, with Fatsy
i and disease of the Spine, by which she was en
tirely disabled, and lost the use of the lower ex
tremities. She was immediately put under tho
care of Dr. Findel,who attended her for some lime,
but without benefit. We then applied to Dr.
Parker, a Root Doctor, who, after he had treated
her case some time, concluded tiiat he could do
' nothing for her. We then applied to Dr. Thomas,
I ofCulodenville, who attended on her eight months,
j w ithout the least benefit; Tor she was letL in a
! mast deplorable condition —perfectly helpless—
i wherever she was laid, there she remained yvith-
I out the power of motion, by the greatest effort of
j the will. Bhe was so much reduced, that sh«
i looked as if there were not five pounds of flesh on
i her whole body—so that she comd tie compared to
i nothing but a living skeleton, if such could lie im
[ a ined. While in this stale, 1 was induced to ap-
I ply to Dr. M. 8. Thomson, of Macon, who, 1 am
I proud to ray, by tin* blessing of Providence, and
i his skill in Hie use of remedies, has restored her to
! excellent bodily health, and the use of her limbs;
! by which she is enabled lo enjoy life, and visit
about in the settlement without the assistance ot
any one. But, what surprises every body is, ihat
i she has been restored without having been seen by
the Doctor, and at the mere nominal expense of
twenty dollars.

| The above cases will serve to put in contrast thi

i many will still remain incredulous, yet sueh fact*
I with the candid, must have their proper weight,
' and with the afflicted can hardly Jail to revive that
i long extinguished hope, without which the stoutest
heart must break. But if, after all, there be sums
that will not be convinced, to such may it be said,
as on a more sacred occasion ; “ Neither will ye
