OF DES ARC.
Oh ! say do you remember,
The cottage snowy whita.
The flowers that grew in front;
Were beautiful and so bright;
’Tis there f’re gathered boquets
And wreathed them in your hair.
To one I love so dearly,
Yes ! one I thought most fair.
^h! say do you remember
tfhe orchard, far and wide,
’Twas there we gathered fruit
And wandered side by side.
The tall wide spreading Arborvit®,
Which grew beside the door;
The smooth green lawn; the circling walk.
Where oft we’ve played before.
Oh 1 say do you remember,
The spring far down the hill,
With merry voices, ringing,
We’d go far past the mill,
“Yes, we’d wander far away,
With us hook and line we’d take,
And oft times” come in contact
With some large Arkansas “ Snake.”
Ah, yes, you do remember,
The school-room large and wide,
The steep we loved, the paths we roved,
And “ Sister ” by our side,
’Twa3 then a Music lesson take,
At nine o’clock you know,
And sing that old familiar song *
Which was “ Long Ago.”

Mr. Webster ‘‘Playing the Possum.”
We disinter the following anecdote
from the Oircleville, (Ohio) Herald, of
June 27th, 1833. It relates an incident
in Daniel Webster’s visit to the West,
where he was the guest of Hon. Thomas
iEvving :
ii A » TIT_ TAr.U.i..._I TV. ■ __
wending their way to Circleville, when
about seven miles from the town, their
passage was intercepted by a tree, which
had recently fallen across the road, and
which an honest yeoman was leisurely
cutting out. They surveyed the premises
to see bow the difficulty might be over
come. Our knight of the axe, not know
ing either of the distinguished Senators,
congratulated himself on the timely arri
val of two such hale and able-bodied men
to his assistance, and very frankly advised
them, as the best means to overcome the
difficulty, to get down from their carriage
and aid him in the removal of the obstruc
tion.
Pleased with the. republican plainness
ot the aug^stion, and finding the man’s
strength inadequate to the task in hand,
they followed the advice Mr. Ewing
first took the axe, and wielded it with effect,
as he does his arguments at the Senate
and at the bar. He was relieved by Mr.
"Webster, who was Jess familiar with chop
ping logs from the road than with remov
ing the obstacles of chop logic from the
wheels of govenment. His efforts were
so 'labored and ineffectual as to attract the
notice of the woodsman, who declared to j
him, “ You can’r be doing your best, now,
sir? You must be playing the possum.
You don’t bend your back enough, sir.”
The tree cut off, and the way cleared,
our travelers resumed their journey, and 1
left the countryman blessing h is stars that ,
they had been directed that way (which
was off the main road,) at that propitious
hour.
• ■ « » «
#flr" In the Homestead, Elihu Burritt
gives the following “ Gleanings by the
Way”:
New Method op Weeding Carrots. j
In Williamstown I was told of a new
plan of raising carrots which was quite 1
new, to me, at least. It is coming large
ly into vogue in that town and vicinity.
Thick sward land, meadow or pasture, is .
turned over carefully and deeply. A J
light harrow is then passed over the sur- i
face, and the carrot seed is then sown e
with flax. As the sward is buried six or f
inrhes nn ffmce n nr
grow up among the flax to choke that or
the carrots. When the flax comes to the
blow it is pulled, and the process weeds s
the carrots just at the time they need it; v
this is all the labor requisite for a good 5
crop of these valuable roots, until they 0
are gathered in the autumn. Thus, two {
crops are obtained by this method from a t
common piece of meadow or pasture land. '
No seed, of course is obtained from the
flax pulled in blossom ; but the lint is as j
gowi as if the stalks were fully seeded r
This certainly is a labor-saving method
of raising carrots, wiien compared with t
the common sowing and weeding process. *
Still, this practice may not be ail new or
uncommon to many of the readers of the I
Homestead. If some of them, who have
tried it, will give others, who have not, ]
the results of the experiment, they will *
impart valuable information. ji
Sowing Spring Wheat.—Last sea- I
son an experiment in sowing spring wheat
was tried in Williamstown, from which a n
valuable and instructive result was ob- r
tained. One farmer sowed at the usual ^
tune, or towards the 1st of May ; another, "
not till the first week in June. The lat- )
ter had an excellent crop, while the former p
was obliged to mow his straw for fodder, s
the weevil having entirely destroyed the c
berry. By delaying a month in sowing, s
the seed does not begin tp/orm until the
fatal insect has had its day and has disap- c
peared. •
Plant Peas Deep.—The theory re s
cently advocated of planting peas very ,
deep in the earth, in order to prolong the .
bearing capacity of the vines, has also
been well tested in Williamstown, and
found to be correct. A farmer told me
that he plowed a furrow beam deep; then
scattered the seed peas at the bottom ;
auer which he turned a deep furrow upon
them with his plow, covering them, if pos
sible, to the depth of twelve or fourteen
inches. They pushed their way up
through the thick mass of earth very soon,
and, instead of turning yellow at the bot
tom and dying after the first gathering,
they blossomed and bore until he was
tired of picking the poddh If such a re
sult will uniformly be realized from the
plan, pea-culture may be made more
profitable than hitherto.
