"i I*' From the Edinburgh Magazine. _ THE NOON OF NIGHT. A holy rapture tUrills the soul. And ffpeechloss inspiration «cizes, As, i-raih the evening's mild control, Roam forth autumnal breezes ; And o>r the landscape wafi perfume, A ml curl the surface of the river, Aud wake, amid the forest gloom, Lone sounds, that riseaud fall for ever. The fields around of fading grren ; The sun descending o'er the ocean ; ■ The azure mantling o'er the scene ; The star, that pays devotion Unto the lo\e!y noon of night, tn silent adoration keeping, And shedding gems of dewy light, Upon the sward of daisies peeping. These, all in mellowness combined. Awake the soul to meditation ; Unveiling to the raptured mind The winders of creation. We hear aot—but U;ey speak too plain. And tilent tell us in derision. That all terrestrial bliss is vain, And life an nn»uh$tantial vision. STANZAS. Forget me not, though now we part, Nor lei oar parting grieve thee $ But trust the firmness of a heart, That will not—cannot leave thee 1 When first we met, thy playful look Bespoke a heart of lightness And shamed the lil}ie>ofthe brook For purity and brightness: But now 'tis changed :—a passing cloud Hath thrown irs shadows o'er thee $ And all is mantled in a shroud, • Around thee, and before thee. Another sigh !—it may not be ;— Let time and absence prove me ; Then doubt shall cease, and thou sbaU see Howstedfestly 1 love thee. Remember how we oft have strayed. As I, at eve, have met thee, So lovely, by yon hawthorn shade !— And how can I forget thee ?— Forget me not, though now we part, Nor let euc paninp errere thee t But trust the nnnncss or a heart, That will not—cannot leave thee ! land require different treatment j but the cultivator, if he be a practical farmer, will be the best judge of his own land, i 50 Pounds * r REWARD.

Ftom the Portland Gazette. -— may be much improved by cer- falo.course of crops as well as by the method of cultivation and the applica¬ tion of manure. Pease are found tomakr* land mellow, to enrich and prepare it for wheat. Pease make a shade : when the land is shaded the air will be con¬ densed arid consequently make room for the rushing iu of more air, so that in this shade there will be the greater lodgment of the nitrous salts, and of course, the land will be made rich. The same is found by experince to be #f potatoes and therefore it is accouuted to be an enrich- er of the land. Another way of mending land is what they call in England green dressing : this is by sowing buck wheat, oats or rye, and when it is grown up and full of sap, it is sloughed in, after this let it lie till fuUy rotfen, then plough again and sow your wheat. The Dutch people, in this vay, on poor plains, raise fine crops of •wheat. Forgr*een dressing it is recom¬ mended that millet be sown on account of the cheapness of seeding the laud; the cost is hut a trifle : the $>ot'k atwl leaf growing large, it must affr-rd a good large coat to turn un^er when ploughed.. Beiug at a neighboring town, says Mr. Eliot, an old country farmer had feoen jn the practice of £Peen dressing, he had ploughed in green oats, it seemed to al¬ ter the color of the land, it looked much better than the rest of the lot when Jiere was nothing but a furrow that parted. The farmer ?aid lie could raise land or increase the strength to'a great d'egPee in a few' years fo the following manner ; after his oats tfere harvested; he added some seed to the scattered oats, ploughed jt in, at the end of September ploughed in tke green oats, and sowed it uith rye; the next summer, when the rye was full grown, ploughed that in at the common saving time, ft would be (if to produce a large crop of V?heat ; ill the cost of ploughing and seeding, is not so much as the cost of dung, carting and spreading, if we can get it, but the difficulty r$5 It rs Dot to be had upon any terms ; there are very few such bad husbandmen as to sell their dung. Land may be enriched by sowing it ^ith clover seed end ploughing it in. Ten pounds cf seed is allowed to an acre. If seeding land with clover will not make poor land rich, yet it will prevent our good land from being worn out; and by ploughing a good co*at of white clover, the land will be prepared fora good crop of wheat. In England, they recover their poo? land, by sowing it with turnips and at winter put their sboep upon it; they will live awhile upon the tops, then scoop out the turnip itself; by that time the land with the sheep dung will be rich enough for barley in tne spring. But our poor land is so poor that it will r.ot bear tnr- nips of any bigness. Tnis method looks likely, if tried, to make rich laud rich¬ er. We have seen it often remarked that much land "13 worn out and tfptitlCd by shallow ploughing; deep ploughing is recommend- d even where the soil h thin and ^hallow. We think it is generally the ca*e ttiat when tjrecn sward is turned under, tfu* Bfcf hropjs apt to he injured by deep ploughing.
