The prouder Pope whom even kings obey ;
Love, at whose shrine both Popes and monarchs fall1,
And e'en self-interest, that controuls them all;
Possess a petty power, when all combin'd
Compar'd with Fashion's influence on mankind ;
For Love itself, will oft to Fashion bow,

A Petit Maitre wooed a fair,
Of virtue, wealth, and graces rare ;
But vainly had preferr'd his claim,
The maiden own'd no answering flame
At length, by doubt and anguish torn,
Suspense, too painful to be borne,
Low at her feet he humbly kneel'd,
And thus his ardent flame reveal'd :
  " Pity my grief angelic fair,
Behold my anguish and despair;'
For you this heart must ever burn—
O bless me with a kind return ;

    My love no language can express,
    Reward it then with happiness ;
    Nothing on earth but you I prize,
    All else is trifling in my eyes ;
    And cheerfnlly would I resign
    The wealth of worlds, to call you mine.
    But,  if another gain your hand,
    Far distant from my native land,
    Far hence, from you and hope  I'll fly,
    And in some foreign region die."

££          The virgin heard, and thus replied :
VV        " If my consent to be your bride,
SJ        Will make you happy! then be blest,
          But grant me first one small request;
          A sacrifice  I must demand,
          And in return will give my hanll."
            " A sacrifice ! O speak its name,
          For you I'd forfeit wealth and fame ;
          Take my whole fortune—every cent—"
          '•■ ,r*ViS something more than wealth I meant."

To be the world's imperial sire ?
Express th« wish, and here I vow,
To place a crown upon your brow."

Like lightning from the ground he sprung,
While' Wild amazement tied his tongue ;
A statue motionless hegaz'd,
Astonished, horror-struck, amazed ;
So the despairing patriarch stood,
When Heaven demanded Isaac's blood;
So Jeptha look'd, whose answered prayer,
Condemn'd to death his daughter fair ;

And so the prince of Denmark stared
When first his father's ghost appeared.
  At length our hero silence broke,
And thus in wildest accents spoke :
" Cut off my whiskers ! O ye gods !
I'd sooner lose my ears, by odos ;
Madam, I'd not be so disgrac'd,
So lost to Fashion and to taste,

XII. DECEMBER, begins on Tues. hath31 days, 1818. j&
The high sail rent—the proud ship sinking
  Beneath the ocean tide ;—
And heard the seaman farewell sighing—
His body on the dark sea lying—
  His death prayer to the wind!
But sadder sight the eye can know,
Than  proud bark lost—and seaman's woe—
Or battle fire and tempest cloud—
Or prey bird's shriek and ocean's shroud—
  The shipwreck of the Mind.

our last year's Almanac, for collecting compost,
increasing its quantity, preserving and communi-
eating its salts and oleaginous  particles, is such £d
as cannot fail to supply the  farm with a sufficien- I
cy of manure for the constant invigoration of the
soil,  and securing its annual productiveness.
The  treatment of  cattle,  by   feeding them in
houses or stalls in preference to their running at
large on the farm, being essential to this plan, it
should be ascertained how far this treatment may
affect the housed cattle.

        TREATMENT OF CATTLE.
  Stall-feeding of cattle, intended for the slaugh- ;
ter-house, is so generally practised, that it would
not here be adverted to, but to prove that a prac-
tice of such acknowledged benefit in finishing (as
it may be termed) the  beast, cannot be unworthy
of experiment  in preparing him for that process ; j|
or, in other words, the treatment that benefits the.
grown, cannot  but be serviceable to the growing
animal.  The  European farmers have, in many
instances, adopted stall-feeding, and always sue- |
ceeded  ; thus  j *oving experimentally the cor- &
rectness of a principle so theoretically rational.   &
  Dr. Thaer, of Hanover, in his memoir on the Q
stall-feeding of cattle throughout the whole year,
remarks, that cattle in stalls are less  subject to
accidents, do not suffer by the  heat, by flies  or
insects, and  are not equally liable to disorders.
Of cows, the Dr. observes, that  those used to the
stall, will yield a much greater and richer quanti-
ty of milk.                                    g
  In addition to this it may be observed, that cat- H<

   tie in stalls can never suffer, as they commonly
 i  do in the field, by over-feeding themselves with
 "  clover : this can be avoided by not giving them
   the clover while wet with dew.*
    The housing of calves is peculiarly favorable
|  to an early weaning, and consequently giving to
   the farmer the greater quantity of the cow's milk.
   Mr. Thomas Crook, of Tvtherton (England) fed
   his calves on a jelly, made  by boiling  for ten
  minutes one quart of linseed in six quarts  of wa-
   ter, mixed with a small quantity of the infusion of
   the best hay steeped in boiling water ; he fed the
  calves three times a day.  Mr. Cook observes—
  " My calves^are kept in a good growing state, and
  are much better at  this time, than those of my
  neighbors that are reared by milk."
    Young oxen, intended for draft, will be more
   manageable, and easier broke to wo^rk by being
   fed and handled in the stall.  The same observa-
  tion will apply still more forcibly to young horses;
jjj[ the mode, too often practised, of taming or break-
  ing them, by violence, hard-riding, and whipping,
| produces many evils to the animal, which cannot
s< afterwards  be  remedied.   So aware was the
I Elector of Bavaria of this, that he employed men
* to walk round and through the parks, where his
  young horses were kept, for several weeks before
  he permitted them to be handled.
    Close  feeding  is  particularly serviceable to f
  swine.  The sow will yield more milk, and the
| pigs may be sooner weaned.  Count Rumford,
  in his essays on the quantity of nutrition in water,
  recommends feeding swine on potatoes well clean-
| ed and mashed in the water in which  they  are

    * The following method never  fails to cure cattle that
  have overfed themselves with clover : Fill an egg-shell
  with tar, and throw it down the throat of the beast; the
3 swelling will subside  in five minutes.

  boiled : a farmer, in Ireland, found this mode pe-
  culiarly  serviceable  in  rearing  young swine.
  They grew fast, on little more than half the usual
  quantity of food.  They ate  of  it at first very
  ravenously, but, in,a few dajjs, they used a.lesser
  quantity, and yet continued to thrive beyond the
  anticipated expectation.
     A general observation within the  knowledge of
  all is, that the proportion of cattle  lost in the fields
  by accidents or disorders, is much less than what
  occurs to cattle in houses or stalls,  while the fol-
  lowing advantages remain to be observed :
     1.  Cattle, in stalls, do not require as  much
  food as when in the field.
     2.  Grass-lands, when not  trodden by heavy
| cattle, are  not  liable  to be injured  by beating
s* down the grass, or breaking the earth.
     3.  Manure is spread on lands in such places
  and  proportions as the farmer's judgment may
  suggest, while that which is dropped by the graz-
  ing beast is often of little  use;  and sometimes
  injurious.
     Sheep being fretful animals,  the housing  of
  them admits of objections not applicable to other '|
  cattle ; if, however, they should have easy access
  to sheds, where food will be left for them,  they
3 will ramble but little, and, being light,  will not
d injure  land.  To some it has  appeared  that the
3 great  walks  which sheep  take, benefit them ;
8 while nothing is more evident than that it pro-
a ceeds from their peculiar fondness for neworten-
| der food, and that they must be benefitted in pro-
g portion as agreeable food is easy of procurement.
3    In a former number of these essays, two fields,
H or 27 acres, were  proposed to, be reserved for
a feeding cattle,  and it  was calculated that  sixty
ft animals, equal to about 34 grown  oxen, would be
W reared thereon.   It would be wearying the  read- 
4
I
    er to quote the,, many experimental  proofs, by  |
    which it has been ascertained, that the produce  '
    of land will feed at least three times the number
    of cattle in  stall, that it  will feed  in the  usual
    mode of grazing ; when to this is added (what was
    omitted in the former calculation) that a consid-
    erable quantity of straw, potatoes, turnips, cab-
    bage, pumpkins, &c. may be  taken from the til-
    lage land and applied to the feeding of cattle, it
    will readily be admitted that the produce of the
    farm applicable to the support of cattle, will sup-
    ply at least one third, if not one half, more than
    the number already  calculated ; or as many as
    will be equal  to 45,  or  perhaps 51  full grown
    oxen ; a number more than usually to  be  found
    on a farm of 100 acres.
      The labor, and ponsequent expenses of attend-
    ing so many cattle,  and bringing  their  food to
    them, will, to  some, be a ground  of  objection ;
    but before that' cause  be  permitted to influence
    him* let the cost of attending a large farm, in  the
    usual mode, and that of attending a small farm, as
    herein recommended, be fairly ascertained ; and
    also a fair view taken of the result of each mode ;
    and a preference will certainly  be given to the
    culture of small farms.  Or let the timid farmer
    make the experiment on some small or convenient \}
    scale 3  let him see how conveniently time can be n
    divided, so as  to meet the different  parts of the
    labor; let him see in how many  instances his
    children can attend to the  business ; let  him ex-
    perience the advantages  of viewing  his entire
    stock, and the whole of his farm, in a few  min-
   utes.   The result will be certainly conclusive in
   determining his adopting a system seemingly too P{
   circumscribed, but which, on a full display, will jil
iTj  appear grand and lucrative ; and will practically (j3 
jw^pyj^'q'^f'W-^-'P^^WP^^
   prove that the word " large," as applied to farms,
   ought to  be significant, not of the number of
   acres, but of their actual produce.

      Of the management of Exhausted Ground.
     By exhausted ground the farmer is to under-
   stand such  as has been in  its nature  tolerably
   good, but has been drained by  repeated  or ill
   managed crops, beyond what the  common ma-
   nures are able to supply.
     Long fallows will recover the most exhausted
   land, provided  it has been ever good,  and the
   ground be sufficiently broken during the fallow-
J ing: but in this case the labor and time necessary
\\ for the recruit, weary the farmer, because he re-
   ceives  no present benefit.   It  will be more agree-  |
   able to him to lay out more  expense, and to reap  k
   a more immediate return.   Where  there are se-  <
   veral inches of good soil below the utmost depths
   to which the plough  has ever gone, the whole
   business  is  to cut deeper, and turn it up.   For
   this  purpose, if  the  four  coultered plough be
   brought  into the ground, and set  to its proper
   depth of cutting, it will go three, four or five inch-
   es below what  other ploughs have done ; and
   will  bring  up  an absolute bed of new mould.
   The old  exhausted*part of  the soil  will be buried
   at the depth where this lay  ; and this, which is of
U the nature  of virgin mould,  will be the proper
I\ seat .of the  next crop.   The advantages of virgin
It mould  are well  known ; and this part of the soil,
H which  will be thus turned up  after  such  absolute
H and  unexhausted rest, will be perfectly of that
N that quality. The roots of corn  and of the  other
P plants cultivated by the farmer,  seek their  nour-
0 ishment  where the earth is broken by tillage to
[a! give them passage.   The  preceding crops upon
1 
such grounds have been fed by  that part of the
soil only, which has been wrought in tillage : and
this part which is now broken  for the first time,
having been firm and  solid at its proper depth,
has denied  them all admittance.—Therefore it is
now in full strength.  The farmer will see that it
is by  his crops, and  he  is to manage it in this
manner.  He must take care that his four coul-
tered  plough cut up this under part of the soil ev-
ery where, and in all parts equally.   He must see
that the-*part thus brought up makes the surface of
the whole field,  and that  the old top be every
where buried.   This once done, there is to be no
more  of the deep ploughing: the common course
of work is to  be continued, and this new earth
very well broken.  After this it is  to l»e sown as
other  good  land, and refreshed in the same man.
ner with manures ; and after a course of years,
it  will be  proper to  bring on again the deep
cutting four coultered  plough ;  and burying the
upper soil, to bring up again that which had- been
in the preceding time the exhausted surface.—It
will have received new strength from its long
rest, and from the vapors from below, and will be
as rich as the former.               AMANA.
     The Apple is supposed to have been, original-
   ly, an indigenous  production  of Europe.   It is
   said, that successive grafting  of the  apple-tree,
   deteriorates the fruit engrafted; and the same re-
   mark will probably apply toother fruit trees.  It
   has lately been recommended, in England, where
f\\ fine apples are produced in great abundance, to
Ejj wash the stocks and larger branches of apple-trees  O
rii with quick lime, as an effectual means of pieserv-  u^
V\ ing the trees from  blight, and ensuring a crop.   -p

To avoid the trouble of Grafting, to obtain good
                   Apples.
   In every perfectly ripe apple, it is observed in
a  late English  publication, there will  be found
one, and sometimes  two round seeds,  the other
having  one or more flatted  sides.  The round
ones, it is said, will  produce the improved fruit
from which they  are taken ; while  those  with
flatted sides will  produce the fruit of  the craft,
upon which the graft was inserted.

Dates of the first introduction into Europe, of some
               of our finest fruits.
   Cherries were brought  from Pontus (an an-
cient kingdom  of Asia) to Rome, by  Lucullus,
seventy years before  Christ: and Cherry trees
were first planted in Britain, about fourteen years
afterwards ; they were, after that, carried  from
Flanders into England, and planted in Kent with
such success, that an orchard of thirty-two acres
produced  in one year,  (and  that so far back
as 1540) a thousand pounds.—From thence the
names of Flemish and Kentish Cherries.
   Apricots were  brought from Epirus ;  Peaches,
from Persia ;  the finest Plums, from Damascus
and Armenia ; Pears and Figs, from Greece and
Egypt; Citrons,  from the Medes ; and Pomegra-
 nates,  from Carthage—about  an  hundred  and
fourteen years before Christ.
            BARBERRY TREE.
  I think proper to give an extract from a sensi-
ble communication signed B.  dated  from Fred-
erick county, June 30th 1817.—" The mildew,
not a vegitable fungous produced by the Barberry
Tree, arises from jyant of ventilation where the 
  r-             ■     ■----        -----------n
    wheat stands thick and abounds  in  blades near
    the ground, (which the taller wheat does not) in
    a warm moist confined air.
      The Barberry Tree blossoms  about  the time
    wheat is usually in blossom.  The Farina of the
  j  Barberry Tree,when sufficiently  near to be waft-
  I  ed on wheat in bloom, is destructive to the form-
  j  ing of the grain.   I  believe a  small clump of
  J  Barberry Trees being within a few rods of grow-
  ;  ing wheat, would prevent the graining throughout
    of a very large field.
      The principle  of  connection, if attended to,
    would be productive  of great advantage.  Pump-
    kins and Water Melons  being planted near toge-  [
    ther is  very  detrimental to  each fruit produced.  I
    Three  or Four Apple Trees of different kinds be-  I
    ing near together,alters the original produce of the J
  >  fruit.   Why are the Spitzenburg apples so fine t
    that  are  produced near Esopus on  the  North |
  , River ? The fruit being very fine is carefully culti-
    vated by entire orchards, or a great preponder-
    ance ofN the Spitzenburg Tree.

      Seed Potatoes.—It has been recently ascertain-
    ed, from the  most decisive experiments,  that late
    potatoes, or such as are not .ripe, are the best for
    seed ;and that planting such,restores a degenera-
    ted variety to its original qualities. The discover-
    er of this  fact recommends the planting of seed
    from cold and late situations, and to plant so late
    as June and July,  taking up those  unripe,  and
    preserving them as seed for the following year.

         From the Washington City Gazette.
      Sir—A curious fact, in relation to the potatoe,
    Solanum Tuberosum,  has recently fallen within

  public, for the Benefit of horticulturists.   Wheth-
  er the experiment has ever before been tried or
  not, 1 am unable to say ; if it has, the result does
  not seem to be generally known. It is therefore,
  ■with a view to this object, that the experiment
  is communicated.
    In cultivating the potatoe this spring, I had the  (
  'curiosity to cut off the stem of one of the plants,  ■
  after it had an elevation of a foot or more, an&bu-
  ried it with all the leaves,in the earth. After a lapse
  of six or seven weeks 1 dug it up, and found apo-'
  tatoe at the end of each leaf, diminishing in size,  *
  as they approached the extremity of the stem; the
  first, or that nearest the root, was about the size
  of a hen's egg, and the last, or the one nearest the
  extremity of the stock, the size of a musket ball.
  To this,  it will be necessary to add, that the leaves
  did not seem decayed; but were still, in some de-
  gree, vigorous and healthy.             ,. ■. r
     I submit this fact without comment, although I
  am aware it will tend to render the opinion of the '\
  ingenious Darwin at least,  doubtful; that leaves  '
  are the lungs of plants, and intended for vegetable
  respiration.           GEO. WATERSTON.

     Method of Salting  Butter.—Take sugar one
  part, saltpetre one part, and clear strong salt
  two parts ; beat  them well together and'lay by the
  preparation for  use  ; of which take one ounce
  for every 16 ounces of butter as soon as it freed
  from the butter-milk.  Butter salted in this man-
  ner, and  put down  in close tubs, with a little melt-
  ed butter poured over the surface, to fill up every
  little vacuity before the top is put on, will  keep
  good for many years.   Butter prepared as above
  is notM  for use till it,has stood at least a fortnight,
  but then  may be perfectly sound for many years.

   company with a  petulent and conceited young
   man, who prided himself in saying pert things,
   and had often left the retort courteous : at length
   got  up, and with affectation,  said—" Wellj you
   must know, Mr.  Dean, that I  set up for a wit."
|  " Do  you then,"  replied  the other, "  take my
I  advice and sit down again."
