-V Farmer Dobbin's complaint. Three daughters I have, and so prettily made, As ham'ome as any you'll ee; And lovers they count," but Mill Pin afraid, They always will hang upon me. In writing of lofiers and talking of love They are foolihly spending their time One gives them a ribbon, and one a new glove, And thus they are pissing their prime. These bucks of the town with their elegant coats, I'm sick of their horses and chair?, They plunder my hay and they pilfer my oats Am I keeping a tavern, my dears. This courting,& courting, and never concludin Is nonsense (I'm sorry to say,) Your kissing and wooing is rather intruding, Unless you vi lake them away. Rfjlectinm of Fifty-nine. I'm growing old, I'm growing old, My life's short tale is nearly told; The locks that on my temples lay, And my dark beard is turning gray; My cheek and brow is furrowed dim, And objects indistinctly swim Bef.re my vision, once so bright, But now fast fading into night; My nerveless limbs are parched and stiff, And feeble tottering, seem as if To court the earth, from whence they rose, Anxious for their last, long repose. Thus as through all creation's range, Time or mys. li hath wrought a change. Tne step iofirrn, th lorm inclined, The pensive, contemplative mind; The sobered thought, the judgment cooled, The lamed desire by rf.ason ruled; Prone to content, and loth to roam, Pleased with the rharm of blissful home. These are ibe marks of Fifty-nine Reader, what years and thoughts are thine? "There is nothing in life o shocking As n fi;ie girl with hole in her stocking " except her own confessions, which were, i it 1 1 1 - child h cain r.ross mid scratch ed Jut. and she determined to drown ii; thai she went to a creek near at ImntJ, mid east it into the water; after she had thrown it in, the child held up its hands for help, whtTnupun site became sorry for what she had done, and attempted to rescue it, hut in vain. It appeared by umpie testimony, that the girl wad not oniy destitute ot uny notion of human laws, but nt a God, and of future rewards and punishments; and upon the ground of want of moral accountability, the jury acquitted her. Jieiu asked if she knew that .-die had done wrong"! she replied in the affirmative, but upon being asked what punishment she expected to receive! she said she did not knuw, but supposed her miatress would whip her. C7In consepuence of the governor of the Virginia State Prison having issued a notice that tailoring would be done in that establishment .by the convicts, in the most fashionable manner, at a lower rate than could be obtained at other places, the tailors held a meeting, supported by other mechanics, for the purpose of de termining tin the best mode to put a slop to this unjust proceeding. ffTWidigans, a tailor, of Europe, has inve nted a dres, consisting of cravats, waisteouts, pantaloons, coats and gai ters, all in one piece, and not requiring a minute to put it on. C?A patent has recently been taken out tor an improvement in the hanging of eh'ies. It consists principally of a spring, by means of which the centre of gravity of the chaise i thrown back when it is going down hill, and forward when it is going up, to the grrat relief of the horse thus obviating ono of the most important objections to the use of u chaise instead of a wagon. Ludicrous Accident on tin Jrter$hur' Rail Road. The Salisbury VVat.hm .n Sy: A friend of ours related t. us the following amusing f,ct. One day this week as the train of cars was passing down from Petersburg, the passengers perceived that their speed began sensibly to dimmish; they supposed the engineer was letting oft' steam; at length they came to a stand still and much to their uston ishmniv they discovered that the Loco motive had disappeared. liut how, or where it had gone, or what had become of it, no one could for a moment imagine. If was at length, however, discovered, that the locomotive had some how or oth er become disengaged from the train of cars mid had made off like a streak of lightning without any one's perceiving it. This occurred a fow miles from BelfHri, and this self moving m ichine ran eight miles without stopping; the fire at The end of this distance dying away, it then called a halt and wailed for J he compa ny. As may be supposed the natives were not a little surprised at the strange apparition of this flmniug monster rush ing over the road unattended by anv hu man being some thought it was the ta riff smile nullification some said it was one of Gen. Jneksons expresses, and scone thought it was Lucifer himself, in the shape of n steam engine, takiug a lit tle brush against time. Flow it whs that tin Engineer and Co. had quitted their choree at the moment we did not learn. When he perceived how matters were, he ton? off mi foot after the engine, and corn ing to a house, h mounted a horse and went in pursuit. The passengers thus being left in the lurch, put ,heir shoulders to the wheel, and by dint of great exer tion got the train up the ascent at which they had happened to be when the ad venture occurred. Here a descent com mencing they all got in, n.id without horse power or steam or any other agent than the all-pervading force of gravita tion, they were merrily whirled along to BdtU'Id, distance anout q mje umj ft ijj. Fattening Hogs. A popular work on Agriculture says: The business of fat tening hogs is usually performed from ' the commencement of U tobcr. Sunu farmers, and those who understand their true interests, commence somewhat ear lier. The beginning of September is, I however, sufficiently early lo make them fat, provided they be of proper breed, be fore the weather become extremely cold. We wish farmers would puiider upon the p opriety of tins course. We believe very much is lost bv neglecting . .... tj lo fatten hogs while the weather is best fitted for the business. In severe cold weather hogs cannoi be expected to fat ten as quick as while it is warm.
