NEW ENGLAND FARMER. 



April 4, 1832. 



MISCEJ-.LANY* 



From the Salera Gazette^ 



The following Ode was written several yenrs ago, and 

 has been often published. But in this af;e of enterprise 

 and of activity in the pursuit of wealth, it may be well 

 sometimes to call in our thoughts and muse upon such 

 subjects. It is thus iutroduced by the aoilior of LacDn: 



"There is so much of true genius, and poetic leelin» 

 of the highest order, in tlie following stanaas, that I can- 

 not withstand the teinplation of enriching my barren 

 pages with so beautiful a gem. This ode of Doctor Ley- 

 den's, in my humble opinion, comes as near perfection 

 as the sublunary muse (an arrive at, when a-sisted by a 

 subject that is interesting, and an execution that is mas- 

 terly. It adds a deeper shade to that sympathy which 

 such lines must awaken, to reflect that the spirit that 

 dictated them, has fled." 



ODE TO A\ INDIAN GOLD COIN. 

 Written in Clcricnl, Malabar. 



Slave of the dark and dirty mine ! 



What vanity has brought thee here; 

 How can I love tu see thee shine 



So bright, whom I have bought so dear? 



The tenl-ropes flapping lone I hear 

 For twilight converse, arm in arm; 



The jackall's shriek, brrrsts on my ear 

 Whom mirth and music wont to charm. 



By Cherical's dar-k wandering streams. 



Where cane turls shadow .ill the wild, 

 Sweet visions haunt rrry waking dreams 



Of Teviot lov'd while still a child. 



Of castled rocks stupendous pil'J 

 By Esk or Eden's classic wave. 



Where loves of youth and friendship smil'd 

 Uncursed by thee, vile yellow slave 1 

 Fade, day dreams sweet, from memory fade! 



The porish'd bliss of youth's first prime, 

 That once so bright on fancy play'd. 



Revives no more in after time. 



Far from my .sacred natal clime, 

 I haste to an untimely grave; 



The daring Ihouglit*, that ,=oar'd sirhlime, 

 Are sunk in ocean's soulherir wave. 



Slave of the mine! thy yellow light 



Gleam- baleful as the tornh-firc drear ; 

 A gentle vi.^ion comes hy night 



My lonely widowed heart to cheer ; 



Her eyes are dim with nrany a tear, 

 That once were guiding stars to mine ; 



Her fond heart throbs with many a fear 1 — 

 I cannot bear to see thee shine. 



For thee, for thee, vile yellow slave, 



I left a heart that loved me true ! 

 I cr-oss'd the tedious ocean-wave. 



To roam in climes unkind and new, 



The colli wind of the ctr-anger blew 

 Chill on my withor'd heart ; — the grave 



Dark arrd untimely met my view — 

 And all for thee, vile yellow slave ! 



Ha! comest thou now so late to mock 



A wander-er's banished heart forlorn. 

 Now that his frame the lightning shock 



Of sun-rays tipt wilh death has borne? 



From love, from friendship, courrtry, torn, 

 To memory's fond regrets the prey. 



Vile slave, thy yellow dross I scorn ! — 

 Go mix thee vf ith thy kindred clay ! 



that good ' water lime ' will be found, eie loirg, 

 among us. We have seen specimens of excellent 

 lime stone from the region of Mt. Katahdin, and 

 also from the highlands on the Kennebec. We 

 have the best of granite ; near Harpswell and along 

 the coast, abundance of gcniss, &e, much used for 

 flagstones, for sidewalks; and plenty of slate. 

 Iron enough to supply half a dozen snrelting fur- 

 naces; on Ari'oirseag island, it is abundant; in 

 BitckfieUl, Oxford, Co. there is a hill full of it; 

 and in huudi-eds of other places, bog ore, &c, 

 may be fouird. 



" Sulphuret of iron or copperas rock, sufficient 

 to make copperas enoitglr, when added to our ma- 

 ple bark, to dye all creation, black as the dark days 

 of Egyirt. Plenty of clay to make brick ; and 

 some white enough to make China for our belles 

 to sip green Hyson in. A mountain of graphic 

 Granite, which wc verily believe might be ntanu- 

 factured into Kaolin, aird the said Kaolin iirto the 

 best of porcelain. And while the spirit nroves us, 

 wo will prephecy that anthracite coal will one day 

 be dug iir our present territory.

Fresh White Mulberry Seed.

 Seed, warrarrted thi- growth ol the past s aaon, from 

 one of the greatest Mulberry orchai ds in Mansfield, Coi»- 

 necticut. ShTrt directions for Its culture accompairy the 

 sceil. 



An interesting experiment was tried at Newcas- 

 tle last week, on the state of the atmosphere. A 

 kite was sent up, having attached to it a piece of 

 butcher's meat, a fresh haddock, and a small loaf 

 of bread. The kite ascemled to a considerable 

 height, and remained at that elevation for an hour 

 and a rpiarter. M'hr'ii brought to the ground, it 

 was found that the fish and the ])iece of meat were 

 both ill a jnitrid stale, particularly the fish ; and 

 the loal^ wlren examined through a microscope, 

 was discovered to be pervaded with legions of 

 animajculic. It may be worth while to rejieat the 

 experiment, in other places to which the cholera 

 iiray unfortunately extend itself. — Kni^lish paper.

" An abundance of excellent land, needing no- 

 thing but good culture. A hi'althy clinrate. An 

 extensive sea coast. Navigable rivers. Abun- 

 dance of lumber, (how long it will last, at the rate 

 it is destroyed now, is a serious question.) Plenty 

 of lime, both on the sea coast and in the interior ; 

 the most of that in the interior is somewhat im- 

 pure, mixed vyjth slate, &c. We have no doubt
