Miscellaneous? F011 THE FKEE PKESS. ACROSTIC. More lovely than the blushing rose, Are those rich graces you disclose; Keligion mix'd with temper sweet, Then all accomplish'd, all complete: Jiow valu'd still wust be thy mind, Admir'd much, by all mankind. Hymen once sanctify'd your love, And happiness fell from above; Removed to rest, was your helpmate, Ileserv'd you were for other's fate: In peace and happiness to live, So to each other comfort give, Halifax County, April, 1827. BRAjYDY SLIjYG. Sweet is the calm of evening's hour, .. Sweet is the first fresh bud of Spring; Sweet is the shade of a summer's bower, But sweeter far is Brandy Sling. I love to see the full moon's ray, Silver the foam of yon sweet rill; I love the dawn of a summer's day, But I love Brandy better still. And though the dew of beauty's lip, Will shame the nectar of the sky; Yet from the taste will 'fancy sip, And for the charms of Brandy sigh. And beauty's soft transparent cheek, That health's pure vernal tint adorns; Shames yon bright cloud's carnation streak, But Brandy such dull colour scorns. The bard may sing of Ilouri's eyes, Whose love-fraught glances warm the heart; But far above his dream 1 prize, The warmth that Brandy can impart. Is love exempt from fear and pain? Does grief not mingle with its bliss.1. Can it break sorrow's galling chain Oh! nought but Brandy can do this. Then farewell rill and summer bower, Love's moonbeams, beauty's sparkling eye; O'er my sad heart ye have no power, With Brandy Sling ye cannot vie. Timothy 7o:crt Esq. BONE-SET TE.1. Awake, my muse, aloud proclaim, In h rick verse, the deathless fame Of Bone-set tea: of every tinct The bitterest, but the healthiest drink, That ever came from herb or tree, From hill or valley, lake or sea. Hail! nature's kind restoring balm! Which gives to throbbing pulse a calm, And cheers and cools the burning brain, And frees the limbs and chest of pain; Dispells the clouds, 'restores the sun, And bids the purple currents run In veins of health and joy and peace, Till their revolving course shall cease. Hail! kind, restoring Bone-set tea! My ardent praise shall be of thee; And when the poet's course is run, This strain shall tell what thou hast done. (the frost;" last year in this neigh- borhood, the peach tree entirely failed. The present season, how ever, we are, as in other sections of the Union, promised fruit in abundance; the frost having so far produced no injury, and the trees appear to have been made more proline by the lailures ot tne previous years. But the hus bandman, this year, has more to cheer him than the prospect of a bundancc of fruit; the beneficence of Providence appears also in his fields, and there, too, is promised a plentiful increase. For the two days past copious and fruitful showers have interrupted the long continued dryness ot the season, and the industrious farmer can see nothing in prospect to mar his work; a rich harvest promises to rejoice his heart and call forth his gratitude. llillsborouglt lice. which we have been visited dur ing the present month.

Mr. Job Sitton, an ingenious mechanic of Pendleton, S. C. has obtained a patent for a new and useful irn. provement in the machinery for making carriage wheels of evert description. The machine, te which he has given the name of "Wheelwright's Assistant," simple in its construction, and very severe terms in relation to a man by the name ot Vv ollolk, a notorious slave dealer, who took it so much in anger, that he vio lently assaulted the editor; the latter gentleman being a "friend,77 had recourse to the law for re dress. We copy from the Genius of Universal Emancipation, the following as a part of the Judge's charge to the Jury: "Chief Justice Price, in pro nouncing sentence, took occasion to observe, that he had never seen a case in which the provocation for a battery was greater than the present, that if. abusive language could ever be a justification for a battery, this was that case that the traverser was cuff aired in a curacy, and with much greater "fa cility than by the mode in ordina ry use.

The fruit trees of every description are already bending beneath their own production, and the fields of corn, cotton, wheat, &c. bear testimony to the geniality of the Spring, notwithstanding the apparently unsea sonable cold winds, dry weather, and frosts, which prevailed through the month of April, threatening vegetation with total ruin. By the following ex tracts, it appears that the cheering pros pect is not confined to this section: Accounts from various quarters unite iu representing the present spring as remarkable for its mild ness; vegetation is much earlier than usual, and appearances indi cate that the present will be an uncommonly fruitful season thro' out the Union.
