ARISTOCRATIC EUULUTIONS. Mr. W , fresh from College, having seen Fanny imngat a theatre, addressed to her the following verses expressive of his passion: Around my heart I feel entwining Fondest thoughts of Fanny Vining! Constantly my eyes are pining For the sight of Fanny Vining! I would glory in resigning All the world for Fanny Vining! 13v mistake I'm often signing For my own name Fanny Vi lli ngV And my note-book underlining With "accounts" of Fanny Vining!

The gentleman in question was not long in discovering that one Mr. Gill had fore- of arguing, and like vastly to have the rea son or rationale of things explained; and many of them will yield to a theory which will not listen to a fact. Well, then let us look into the theory of Mr. Young's prac tice. Hear him.

And then I plant my corn the 2()tb to the 25 of March a rule to which I adheie with scrupulous exactness, planting from eight to twelve grains in each hill, cover ing the same from four to six inches deep, gie illy prefer the l itter depth. So soon as my corn is of sufficient heigh', I start the large. hai row directly over the rows, allowing a horse to walk each side, harrow ing the way the corn was planted; and on land prepared as above and harrowed as directed, the hoeing part will be so com pletely performed by this process, that it will satisfy the most sceptical. Then al lowing the corn thus harrowed, to remain a few days, I start my small ploughs with the bar next the corn; and so nicely will this be done, that when a row is thus Mr. Faber is a good musician and com poser, as well as instrument maker. stalled him in the head and hind of the object of his effusion.

I thin to four stalks upon a hill, never having to trans plant, the second ploughing is performed with the mould board towards the row ol corn; and so rapid has been the growth of the corn, between the first and second ploughing, that this is performed with ease; and when in this stale 1 consider my crop safe; my general rule being never to plough my corn more than four times, and harrow once. My practice is, to put field in corn two successive years, then grass it and let it lie eight years a rule Irom which I never deviated. Now 1 do not pretend that the labor bestowed upon a soil field to put it in a state of thorough cul tivation does not meet with a fair equiva lent Irom one crop; but I presume no far mer will doubt when I say the seconi year s crop from soil hind is better than the first, with no more tlnn one-half the labor. The best system of farming is to produce the greatest amount of profit from the smallest amount of labor. From the Louisville (Ky.) Journal. WALTER C. YOUNG'S CORN CROP. We perceive that some ol the Eastern I editors, in speaking of Mr. Young's corn crop, i yo bushels to the acre, say ihey pre aurne of course it was not shelled cor n ! When we say that Mr. Young produced 195 bushels of corn to the acre, we mean j cm. If it had been 195 bushels of corn and cobsil would not have been so ex'ra- ordinary. Mr. G. W. Williams, of Bour j bon county, Ky., had previously produced 167 bushels to the acre; but Mr. Young's I corn goes far beyond even that, and it was J precisely because ii did to far tran&cend ; he highest recorded crop, that we deemed it of such vital importance to make Mr. I Young's method known. That Mr. Young j d'd produce 195 bushels to the acre, we etl just as cer tain as that we now hold a I Pen in our hand. It was measured by as respectable gentlemen as any in Jessamine Cou"ty, gentlemen appointed for the pur- pose by the Jessamine Agricultural S cie j ,v And lei it be remembered that this ! as no first experiment on a single acre I 1 he corn was planted and cultivated ac Vj'ns 'o the method long adopted by Mr. Young, and his whole crop was pio Jjounced equal to the five acres measured, j his extraordinary crop was produced in 1 40 a year very favorable to corn; but j We afe told by Mr. Young, that the dry I Vears. be rlnpa nni .rot Lcj 4h..n inn bushels o the acre, ii "ere then is not "book farming," but a Method of cultivation practised for years y plain, practical, but intelligent farmer. Talking Machine The New York Tribune, of a late (bte gives the following description of a Talking Machine, now exhibiting in that city: Having een in one or Uvu pipers an ac count of thi new invention we went with a Iriend yerterday to see it. Mr. Faber the artit, speaks oniv German, et lie ha taught his machine to speak English, and speak it too better than German. Atn what is still more curious, it gives some of our difficult sounds better than Mr. Faber himself can pronounce them. The th, for instance, which is the Rubicon in our Ian guage to a German, it gives like a native born American. Indeed, we do not be lieve the "Native American Party" i I -elf could tell the difJT rence. On asking Mr Faber Imw it came to pass his machine could speak better English than Geiman he replied: "V hy -houldn't it? it is A merica'i oorn. ) tie sounds issue irom the lips of a mask that as they open and shut reveal a tongue that plays like the living member, though not so "limberly It is really laughable to see this bust placec upright with a turbaned head and whisker ed face slouly enunciating in a whining lone, sounds which we have heretofore considered as belonging exclusively to our species.

We assure our readers that this thing of wood and. paint, coutchouc and keys, did distinctly articulate as though having trachea, larynx, glottis, and epiglottis; tongue, palate, and gii'ns--each acting as in the living human ubject.

He took his text from 2d Corinthians, 6th chapter and 14th verse, as follows: "Be nol unequally yoked together will u n believers will come, when you will pray to Beelze bub to escape his clutches.

After a pre amble as long as the Declaration of Inde pendence, setting forth their grievances, i hey adopted a scale of prices, which they recommend to ihe citizens, "in order that something may be left to ihe family of the patient, after the disease or ihe doctor shall have removed him from the stage of life " The highest charge allowed in this scale is SlO for "cutting stone out of the blad der."
