HYMN TO THE NIGHT.
BY HENRY VADSWORTH LONCTELLOW.
I heard the trailing garments of Ihe Night
Sweep through her marble balls !
I taw her sable skirts all fringed with light
From the celestial walls!
I felt her presence by its spell ol might
Stoop o'er me from above ;
The calm majestic presence of the Night
As of the one 1 lore.
Ihe;rdthc sounds of sorrow and delight
The manifold soft chimes
That fill the haunted chambers of the Night
Like some old poet's rhymes.
From the cool cisterns of the midnight air
. My spirit drank repos: J
The fountain of perpetual peace flows there
From those deep cisterns floivf.
0 holy Night! from thee I learn to bear
Whtt man has borne before !
Thou layeillhy finger on the lips of Care
And they complain no more.
Peace! Peace! Orestes like I breathe this prayer!
Descend with broad-vrinjed flight
The welcome the thrice-prayed for the most f-ir
The best-belcved Night!
From the National I.ilelligcncer.
PRINTERS.
A writer in the Mobile Herald who has been for
sixteen ve.irs connected with the public press holds
the following deserved commendatory language of
the members of the craft. None who have had an
opportunity of judging will fail to admit the justness
of his remarks. He says:
'In al! our experience (and we h.-'ve visited in
that time four different Governments from the one
under which we were born and educated) we have
always found among printers not only more intelli-
gence but more liberality of opinion more of th.it
high minded cast of principle that looks with a for-
giving eye as well upon the frailties of erring hurna-
nitv&s upon tar and contentions that urovv out of
either religion or politics than any other class of
men not excepting the teachers o' the tsible them-
selves or the statesmen who thunders in the forum.
Printers have a sort of freemasonry with the whole
world Conversant not only with events that are
transpiring in their own neighborhood but over the
ivholo universe their occupation and the peculiar
province in which they move arc all calculated to
bring within the scope of their vision and the circle
of their interests the opinions and the feelings of the
entire family of man. It is a similar community of
interests ana a personal converse with the whole
world that make the honest tar a whole-souled man
a friend of his species in whatever port he meets
them But the printer is his superior in one respect:
the field ofletters the garden of science and the very
fountain of learning are in his range and measurably
undsr his control. With scarcely an exception
there is no: one of the profession that a good man
might not be proud to take by the hand as an asso-
ciate and a friend; or that the statesman might not
take into his counsel with satisfaction to himself and
a benefit to the world."

John Hawkins who brought them from Santa b?e in
South America. It iVsaid that they were first plant-
ed by Sir Walter Raleigh who had an estate in Ire
land; but the natural history of the potato was so lit
tle unaersiooa at that time that Sir Walter resolved
to renounce the expectation he bad formed of bring
in? this exotic lo perfection in that country. When
in due time after he had planted the first potatoes th
stalks grew up and he perceived upon the sterna
green apple he thought that was the fruit which he
had no idea of being concealed under the earth. He
caused some of these apples to be boiled but finding
them nauseous to the taste he concludtd that he had
lost his labor and for sometime thnuaHno more of
potatoes. However ji.iring some tirmr itfter given
directions that the ground should be dug tip. or
ploughed to hi very great surprise he found a plen-
tiful crop of fruit which proved most grateful to the
taste. They soon sot into general use and bocamr
the piinripal food of the Irish peasantry.
Agricultural.
In the settlement of a case at Bangor relative to an
estate in St. Tnomas. a document was produced as
evidence which was written in Danish and contain-
ed 40 foolscap pages but there was none who could
translate it It was sent to Mr Burritt of Worces-
ter known as the learnt d Blacksmith who returned
a translation of it which is spoken of very highly by
the edjtor of the Why. In a letter Mr B. remarks
that the translation cost him twelve days hard labor
for which he presumed the sum of 318 would not be
an unreasonable compensation as that would be
" about what any other blacksmith would charge
provided he could do it with hammer and tongs."
An aged and venerable divine who discovered that
a mischievous son of his hud been racing his old mare
scolded the young rogue in very severe terms and
exhausted all his powers of reproof and reprobation;
but. in the conclusion could not resist the temptation
to Inquire how the race terminated ' She beat 'em'
was the answer. " Ah" said the old gentleman
"she's a fine creature Jim; when I rode her nothing
could pass her en the road."
hiving without Sleep. A recent number of the
Boston Medical and Surgical Journal contain a letter
from Mr Robert F. Gourlay giving nn account of his
extraordinary sleeplessness. According to Mr. G:'s
own account he was first bereft of sleep in the year
1833 for six weeks when about 40 years of age Pri-
or to that time he had never sufirred for want of sleep
although at times a little sufficed for refreshment.
Mr. G. was confined in London as he alleges by
British tyranny three years imd eigat months and it
was during this period he thinks that a habit of living
without sleep began to form. During his confine
nicnt hp felt very little need of slrep and the greater
part efthe time in bed n'hlch was never more than
six hrurs in the twenty-four was given to reveries
chiefly he declares "as to schemes for bettering the
condition of the laboring poor of England" &c.
Soon arier hjis liberation having first visited Scot-
land he left Edinburgh for America. He had no sleep
until be reached Liverpool when he took a wa rm bath
before going to bed. This had the desired effect and
procured him a few bonrs repose.. The nest morn-
ing be embarked fcr New York which be reached in
42 days -without having had one wink of sleep. Im
mediately on landing af New York-jhe procured a
warm bath got into a cotnfoflabIe'bed and tlept
eoundly. From that time for irarjljafdid not sleep for
three veers. He. took laudanum? but that had no ef
fect he drank rwhiskey in the hopeihafjWoujd induce
sleep but it rioly made htm sick. .

SOWING WHEAT.
An impression prevails that our wheat is generally
too thinly settled and that much larger crops would
br the result of a Ireer use o' grain dipt. Barclay.
the intelligent Scotchman who made an agricultural
tour of the United Slates in 1S4I earnestly urged
upon Mr. Marx whose farm he visited in this vici-
nity to increase his allowance to four bushels an
acre the quantity usually given by British farmers.
He thought the liability to winter-killing in this
country made even a greater allowance drsimblc.
The editor of the American Farmer says:
' We would suggest that in every instance where
wheal miy be smvn that the ground undergo
thorough preparation and that all sho'ild consider
deep ploughing and repeated harrovings esstntial
operations.
" We would advise that il the land may not have
been previously limKl that from five to ten bushels
of lime per ncre be sown thereon or an tqu.il iti in-
tity of ashe.s. 1 hesr quarlities are small but will
irbrri a beef barrel and stored away and witHiri twelve
hours two ont of three which ateof- it died and the
third was much injured. As farmers at this season
arc emptying their meat barrels instead' of preserv-
ing the refuse salt for the future they had better bu-
ry it in a compost heap. Our beef was but slightly
sahpetered and but a very little could possibly have
been taken by the swine.

would sow from two to four bushels oi salt lo the

' We would by all means be particular in the se
lection of coon seed having due regard to w eight of

" We would not have any wheat sown witnout
having it first thoroughly washed in pure water
and then soaked in a brine of salt that would bear an

We are more particular in insisting upon this morte

many acco-ints of injury to the crops during the late
season from smut a disease peifectly within the con-
trol cfthc wheat grower and which can never occur
but from culpable neglect as the means we have
pointrd out we do know will prevent its occur-
rence. "While wi are upon the subject let us advise every

FEEDING HORSES
Vaiious opiuionb are entertained as to the best and
most economical mode of feedin? horses and many
experiments are on record that have been instituted
lo settle ihe question.
J be result seems to be that at the ordinary prices
of grain and hay il is cheaper to keep horses on
grain than on hay or on hay and grain There is
another important matter to be considered however.
and that is is feeding entirely with grain as condu-
cive to the health of the animal as a mixture of hay
and grain 1 We do not believe it to be ; and the ge
neral result of the experiments has been to show that
il is not. Our own experience too would lead us to
speak decidedly on this point. We have tried feed-
in" horses upon gram alone ann lounu tne latter thp
best for the animals They were not so shrunk up
or gaunt there was more muscle and consequently
more weight and whnlever may 0e thought ot this
latter in a race horse where nothine but sinews and
bones arc required every farmer knows that the
road or farm horse is but little without wejsht
Feedinc horses on grain alone is like keepmp a
man on wheat bread solely; be will live for a time
but will sink under the experiment In this case
the finer the finur the worse for the man. We have
never had horses in better condition for labor than
when we fed them with cut whr.-n strivv vt up in a
tub with Indian corn meal. It is evident there must
be some proportion between ihe bulk and the nutri
tive power of food and grain alone gives too muefi
