Too long have freemen worn the chains that tyrants

Too long have Trtith and Liberty been trampled to

Too long has Treachery held the seat, that Honor

And hark! from Louisiana's plains, is heard the

That tells in loud and thunder tones the tyrant’s race

those of “sterner stuff.”
three months could, by any possibility, be prolonged
to as many years, we know of one single and singu-

"be buried with his heels upwards.”. We quote:

The Loocos met at Baltimore.
And found their ship had rtiii ashore,
\V_ith might and iiiain, they tried to light licr,
\VhicIi only iiiade her stick the tighter;
At length they Cried there is no joking,
So let us go then staight to POK-lng.
They POK-C(I out Cass, they X‘()K-8(I out Van,
The Coiniuodorc aiul Southern man,
Bttchaiian, Joliii-son and \Voodbury.
Tlicso all they Poi:-ed otit in a hiiri'_v:
And when they tliotiglittlie ship was free,
They POK-Ctl in Polk ol'Tciiucssce.
And so the old ship cannot still,
She's fastened to at r:icconu’s' tail,
And stuck so deep in a bed of‘CL.tv
That she can never get away ;
So after all it’s but ajokc.
You cannot conic it, “Colonel Poke.”
MISCELLANY.
A GOOD ONE.
In Ireland a waruiing pan is called a friar
Not many years ago, an unsophisticated girl

fcssed to a friar once a your. '
It so happt-nt~d,on a cold and drizz'_v night
th'.ita priest took lodgings in the inn. He had
II'tlVPIr(I fat‘ and being weary retired at an
early hour. Soon after, the uiistress of the
house CtlIlk‘CI the st-rvant girl.
‘Bi-tty, put the friar in No. 6.’

‘Your rcvcl‘t‘nCe must go into No. 6, my
mistress sa vs’
‘flow, what .7’ asked, he, annoyed at being
disttirbed.
Your reverence must go into No. 6
There was no help for it, and the priest
arose donned a dressing gown and went into
No. 6.
In about fifteen minutes the mistress called
to Betty.
Put the friar into’ No. 4.
Bi-tty said something about disturbing his
reverence, which her mistress did not under-
stand. So she told the girl in a sharp voice
to do always as she was directed, and sht-
would tilivays do right. Up went Be-tty.aud
the unhappy priest, despite his angry pro-
p-siniions was obligzerl to turn out of No. 6
to No. 4 But a little time elapsed ere the
girl was told to put the fi"i;ti' into No. 8. and
tilhe poor priest thinking that every body was
. mad in the house, sturdily r€S0lVt'd 10
lquit in the next morning, crept into the damp
sheets of No. 8. But he was to enjoy no
peace there. B«tiv was agiiindirected to
put the friar into No. 3, and with tears in
her eyes she obeyed. In about an hour, the
landlady concluded to go to bed herself and
the friar was ordered into her room. Won-
dering what allthis meant, B~tt_v roused‘ up
the priest and told him that he must go into
No. ll. The. monk crossed I1lt‘t‘iSr'Il, coun-
ted his beads and went into No. II. It so
happened tbattlie husband of the landlady
was troubled with the green-eyed monster.
Going up to bed, therefore before his_ wife,
his suspicions, were confirrm-d by seeing be-
tween his own sheets, a man sound asleep.
To rouse the sleeper and kick him into the
street was the work ofa iiiotiient; nor was
the mistalte'explained till the nextday,whe,n
the priest informed the ‘inn-keepers what
outrages had been committed upon him, and
he learned to his aintizement that he had
been serving for a vvariiting pan.

And be tossed the empty purse in his

very pleasant jest; for who did not know
that Mr Lt-niaire was a man of ample prop-

ORIEJNTAI. AI\'ECDO'I‘E.
A certain man went to a D--rvish. and
proposed three qin-stions: First-—'Why do
they say God is omniprt-sent .7 I do not see
him in any place; show me where he is.-—
Why is a man puuislird for crimes. since
whatever he does proceeds from God? Man
has no free will. for he cannot do any thin9
contrary to the will of God; and if he had
power he would do everv thing for his own
good. Third how can God punish S-ttan in
hell fire, since he is formed of that element;
and what impression can fire make on itself?
The Dervish took up a large clod of earth.
and struck him on the head with it.
The man went to the Cztzy and said:
I proposed three questions to such ti Der-
vish, who flung a clod of earth at my head,
which made my head acbt-.’
The. Cazy having stnt for the Dervish
asked—
‘\Vhv did you throw a clod of earth at
his head, instead of answering his ques-
tions .7’
The Dervish replir-d——
Tlie clod of earth was an answer 'to his
speech. He says he has a pain in his head.
let him show me where it is,:ind I will make
God visible to hitii. And why does he ex-
hibit a complaint a,t;--.iiiist rite? VVhatevcr
I did was the act ofGod. and I did not strike
him without the will of God; what power
do I possess? And as he is compounded of
earth. how can he suffer pain from that ele-
ment?
The man was confounded, and the Cazy
highly pleased with the D:=rvish's answer.
PHILOSOPHY UNDER MISFORTUNE.
The National Intelligeucer thus pleasantly
hits off the desperate eflbrts ofi tho locofoco
presses and orators. to keep up the spirits of
theirfollowers. under the accumulation of de-
feat,every where crushing down upon them :
‘.i is a traveller's story that Russian wives
are happy and grow boastful in proportion
to the frequency with which they are beaten.
This seems to be just the case with the loco-
loco party. Thev bragged vehemently as
soon as they found they could throw their
strongest man overboard : swaggering still
more when they had succeed in putting up
their wcakcst candidate for the first office in

A.--\\'ht-n we have disregartlerl the cau-
tions of Fear. and not having obeyed the
same description of seed, and planted attbe
sametime. Again,Iapplied itjtozpotatoesquite
lit to dig. the tops of which had lost their
Qreen appearance, and were ofthe hue indi-
cating maturity of the root, and a few days’
only elapsed before they were changed to
the green and growing state they were in
some weeks previous; and it was eventually
found, on taking up the crop, that not onli:
were the potatoes larger, but that ii second
growth of tubers of small size, and very
numerous. had been the consequence of the
application of the guano. These potatoes
were manurrd at the time of planting, with
farmyard dung.
My next trial with guano was with turnips.
I tried it sown broad cast on the land, alter-
ward drilled up light before the st-rd was
sown, along side of deep drills, with farm
yard manure applied at the rate of "about 20
tons per acre, on a fine loamy soil; the braid
of those with guano was not only stronger
and more regular, but the [tips at the turnip;
have continued in their fresh and green state,
after a great part ofthe others are fallen lode-
cay, 4-. the crop was much more even and bet-
ter than the other partofthe field. In speaking
of this crop, perhaps it were well to mention
that I had sown a few drills without any
manure, at one side of those manured with
guano. l"IIt‘l't‘Iy to see the diff-rence. ‘The
seed certainly did braid, but that was all, for
they scarcely made any progress whatever,
and were considered as not worth the labor
ol hoeing; but I desirrd the work girls to
pnlverizea quantity of guano, and put a
little round each sickly plant; and when I
visited the field some days after, I was liter-
ally astonished to see the change that had
taken place: the leaves of the turnips had
grown and spread so rapidly as nearly to
met-t in the drill, and have turned otit, much
to the surprise of every one acquainted with
the facts ofthe case. a very fine crop.
The only other instance I have tried
guano in the fields is on wheat, and in this
case it was mixed with rriould and ploughed
in previous to sowing: the wheat came up
l\‘L‘ll, and has a bi-autifui color, with peculiar
curl \\'I]ICl‘i denotes a promising crop.
I planted several apple-trees. and putabout
a pint of guano to the roots of each at the
lltt 0- Thcy are growing remarkably well.
and we did not allow them to bear last season
excepting two trees only, in consequence of
being so young. it is a singular fact, that
they have all blossomed twice this year:
and the two we allowed to bear, while the
ripe apples were upon them, were in blos-
som at the same time. The raspberry
bushes rnanured with italso camcin blossom

From the experience I have had, with
guano, I considered it peculiarly adapted to
the poiatoe crop (to which it should be ap-
plied at two different times) as wcl-l as to the
turnip and cabbage and green Cl'ops_in gem-
oral. Ithink it very applicable to tr.euntain
districts, where carriage is irnpracticable, for
rt man could carry as much on his back as
as would manure his halfacre ofgrotind.

provement was so iniiiicdiate, and the prom-
ise of beneficial effects so great, that I deter-
mined to carry out the experiments still
ftrther. Accordingly on the 20th May, 15
statute acres were covered in like manner.
and with the same proportion of guano and
charcoal dust. The nature of the soil in
all this li'.8fld0\V is very stiff upland, but well
drained. It had never to my knowledge
been satisfactorily productive. The whole
of this meadow ts. as cut in June. The result
was abundant, and exceedingly fiick at the
bottom. On 5 statute acres of the same
meadow (but where the quality of the soil
is much better, and has always produced a.
heavier crop) 30 loads of farm yard manure
per acre had been laid (min the spring.—-

tThe produce this year was about one third
in favor of those parts to which the guano
had been applied.
For all purposes for which bones or farm-
yard manure are applied, guano must be
successful. Many experiments have proved
this. General Beatson found
