Over the hills and away.
There’s naught for us here save to count

And hang the head all dey :
But over the bill* we’ll bouud,old hound,
Over the hills and away.
Here among men we’re like the deer
That yonder is our prey:
So, over the hills we’ll bound, old hound,
Over the hills and away.
The hypocrite ie master here,
But he’s the cock of clay :
So, over the hills we’ll bound, old hound,
Over the hills and a way.
The women they shall sigh and smile,
And madden whom they may :
It’* over the hills we’ll bound, old hound,
Over the hills and away.
Let silly lads in couples run
To pleasure a wicked fay,
*Tla ours on the heather to bound, old hound,
Over the hills and away.
The torrent glints under the rowan red,
And shakes the bracken spray :
What joy on the heather to bound, old hound,
Over the hills and away.

WBF“ An anecdote, relative to the late
Profasaor Wilaou, is just now circulating.
When the suitor for the hand of Professor
Wilson's daughter had gained the lady's
approbation, he was, of course, referred to
papa. Having stated his, probably, not
unexpected case, the young gentleman
was directed to desire the young lady to
come to her father, and doubtless her obe
dience was prompt. Prof. Wilson had be
fore him, duublles, some work, on the fly
leaf of which was inscribed, “ With iht
author's compliments.'' He tore this out,
pinned it to his daughter's dress, solemnly
led her to the young lover, and went back
to his work.

NEW PATENT. I
The undersigned having procured the exchi- ®
aive right of manufacturing and selling to 1
the citizens of Prairie county Arkansas, the
late improvement in plows, (known as Har
ris twelve pointed shovel and turning plow,) S
would inform the planters of said county that
he is prepared to receive and fill all orders, t
which will be done in regular turn, notifying S
the person ordering, as soon as ready. a
This is no Yankee humbug for speculation,
but was gotten up in the South by an expe
rienced workman, on scientific principles, to
suit the wants of the cotton growing commu
nity, and five minutes examination will satisfy t
the most credulous, that It is the neatest, best,
and in the end. the cheapest plow ever of- C
tfered. *■
They'wilt be put up at Atlanta, Prairie
county., under the superintendence of an ex- B
perienced workman and no means or time will
be spared in making them neat and durable.
The advantages of this over all other plows I
to the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go- J
in« fr* -• _U_,_;_ . .
p -- — -r; * — - 1 o u
and tb* smith’s bill. In this you have four v
distinct plows, all working perfect, (no sub- o
stitute in either,) which yon can change at 0
pleasure on any part of your farm, no other f
tool being required but your clevis pin; first,
you have a small shovel, suited for all ordi- e
nary purposes of that tool, by adding one
mould, either right or left, you have a good -
turning half shovel for ridging and hilling and
place a cutter before it and you have an excel
lent new-ground plow: ir. the third place, put 1
on both moulds and you have a large shovel, J
perfectly suited to breaking out the middles
of cotton rows, and fourth, by reversing the
moulds of the large shovel, you have a good
cotton sweep, all tour working bettei than you I
An get any common smith to make of wrought
iron. In addition you have, by adjusting the
point, (which is made of the best of wrought i
plow steel.) five extra points and eleven extra
sharpening*, over ather plows, which is said,
•y some of the most prominent planters in
North Mississippi, to be sufficient for five
crapsj and all this foi *0 50-100, without
cutter, or $7 50-100 with cutter attached;
thase are shop prices. I will send them to
Brownsville or Hickory Plain, in lots of 20
per lotor to Des Arc, at 56 per lot.
