In a rotation consisting of clover and wheat sirrfply, we find that the wheat abstracts large amounts of phosphate of lime potash gypsum, salt, &c, which if nothing he added to the soil, except the clover crop, wjll in a few years reduce an land Z time ; but it is evident that it is losing properties at every successive harvest, which must be supplied to it, br it will be eventually ex hausted. I The true and only remedy for this, is, to ascertain by analysis, either of your own, or the vil established researches of others, precisely what of the inorganic materials, sucji as are inherent in the soil, and not foundto any appreciable extent in the atmosphere, are taken from the land by cropping Or feeding, and not return ed to it by stria w, manure, or offal of any kind, and return those materials to the land in such available shape as will ena ble future crops to supply themselves with all they require. This is indispensable to a succession jf good crops and prolongs fertility, and no farmer is wise who neg lects this practice for a single year, how ever seemingly well his adopted system may answer,flwhich does not embrace the foregoing practice. 1 1 ,T0 SUSTAIN) AND IMPROVE THE QUAtTY OF THE SOIL. jts bfecomei jnn important inquiry a manjf of our farmers, how they 5l f ertUize such of their lands as are jing laric burthens of produce, which ,takcn jbff the, premises for sale ?

BY MAJ jTOS. JONES, OP PI NEVILLE. I i' It's about ;ten years ago sense the inci dent what Ym gvvine to tell tuck place. It caused a great sensation in Pineville at the time, and had the effect to make fel lers monstrous careful how they runaway with other j people's daughters without their consent ever sense. Mr. Ebenezer Doolittle was the bomi nablest mati jafter rich galls that ever was. He hadn't been keepin school in Pineville more'n six rrionths, before he had found out every gfijl in the settlement wbose fa ther had twenty niggers, and had courted all of 'em within a day's ride. He was rather old t0 be poplar with the galls, and somehow tljey did'nt like his ways, and the way they did blufT him off was enough to discourage anybody but a Yankee schoolmaster! what wanted to git married, and hadn't many years of grace left. But it didn't seetn to" make no sort of differ ence to hirri.j He undertook 'em by the job. He was bound to have a rich wife out of some of 'em, and if he failed in one case, it! only made him more perse- xiis motto was "ne- verin in thesnext. ver say die j! Betty Darl ng, as they used to call her old Mr. Darling's daughter, what used to live out oni the Runs was about the torn downestj mischief of a gall in all Georgia. Betty was rich and handsome and smart, and had more admirers than she could sjiake a stick at, but she was sich a tormtntin little coquet that the boys was all afraid to court her in down right I as stood on, while the sunshine of his heart beamed from his taller colored fabe in a way to let every body know something extraordinary was gwyne to happen. Jest after dark he mought been seen drivin out by himself in a barouche to wards old Mr. Darling's. Everybody 'spected something, and all handsiKvas on the look out. It was plain to see; Squire Rogers' importance was swelled up con siderable with something, but j j nobody couldn't git a word out pf him. jj Mr. Doolittle didn't spare the lash after he got out of sight of town, and with strainin eyes and palpitatin hart,; he soon reached the place appinted to meet the object of his consumin affections.! Was she thar ? No I Yes 1 lis it ? Yes, thar she is !--the dear creator. The skirt of her nankeen ridin drfess, What sets close to her angelic form, flutterjri in the breeze. She stands timidly crouchin in the corner of the fence holdin f her vale close over the lovely face, tremblin in ev ery jint for fear she mought be discovered and tore away from the arms of her de voted Ebenezer ! Dearest angel P ses he, in a low voice. Oh, Ebenezer P and she kind o' fell in his arms. ' Compose yourself, my love.' Oh, if father should ' ' Don't fear, dearest creature, j My arm shall protect you agin the world. And then he was jest gwine to pull away her vale to kiss her. Oh !' ses she, 'didn't I he,ar somebody comin ?' 4 Eh V ses he, lookin round. Let's git in, my dear." And with that he helped her into the barouche, and contented himself with lm printin a burnin kiss that almost singed the kid glove on her dear little hand, as he closed the door. Thejn jumpin on the Iron seat, he drove as faslt as he could to town encouragin her all t)ie way, and Iswarin tq her how he would love her and make her happy, and telliri her how her father and mother would forgive her and think jest as much of her as ever. Pore gall ! she wass so terriblyjagitated who was mad as a hornit, was gwine to haye Doolittle arrested for nigger stealin, right off. Pore Doolittle ! He made out, at last, guished guest, whose good opinion, as of ; the reputation of ' the America all who shared the hospitalities of the White House, she did not fail to win.

He haint never been heard of in Pineville, from that day to this. MRS. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. i Mrs. Adams was born in England on the 11th of February, 1775. She was the daughter of Joshua Johnson, a Maryland gentleman, who went from America to London, where he became eminent as a merchant. During the war he left Eng land for France, where he acted as the commercial agent of this country, and re turned upon the ratification of the treaty of peace. Mr. Adams found his future wife in London, when acting under . a commission conferred upon him by Gener al Washington in 1794, for exchanging the ratifications made under the treaty of November of that year. Mrs, A. was mar ried at All Hollows Church, London, on the 26th June, and followed her husband to) Prussia, where Mr. A. was presented as the first American Minister from the United States. Mrs. Adams conferred honor upon the country at a time when the United States was just recognised as ah equal among the nations of the earth. Her next theatre of service was in Wash ington, and after this again the Court of St. Petersburg, and this from 1809 to 1814, the most exciting, and perhaps the most revolutionary period in the history of Eu rope, and embracing a part of that inter esting period of our own history when the country was at war with England. Mr. Adams resided longer at St. Petersburg than any of. our American Ministers, ex cepting MrTMiddleton, and his lady was left there for a brief period, while her hus band was called to another field of ser vice.
