THE SOUTHERN PLANTER. 



pinks and inhale their fragrance, while we talk- 

 ed our puerile love talk, and fancied ourselves 

 as happy and as true a pair of lovers as any. 

 And so it is likely we were, for who can tell 

 how pure and sincere are the loves of little 

 childen. But a time came, when I sat beneath 

 the oak, and the place by my side was unoccu- 

 pied, for my Pink had wilted and faded with 

 the other pinks, and looking over the bed above 

 which no flowers waved, I con Id see beyond a 

 little grassy hillock beneath which reposed the 

 casket that once shrined the sweet pure spirit 

 of my little friend. She went away with the 

 angels, my sweet little Pink, she was too fair 

 and pure for the gross earth to detain her long, 

 and she was transplanted into the brighter re- 

 gions of the skies, to bloom without decay; 

 and if I love the pinks of our gardens too well, 

 it is because I remember the fairest and most 

 beautiful pink that ever bloomed, and how well 

 she loved those beautiful and fragrant flowers.

liEND YOU A PIANO. 



Wishing to convince purchasers of what we 

 have known ourselves for 20 years past, to wit : 



That our Piano Fortes are really desirable, (good 

 and cheap) we feel perfectly willing not only to send 

 them on Trial to persons wishing to purchase, but 

 also to Lend them for a given time, to those who may 

 prefer taking them in that way, in order that they may 

 test what we have said of their quality. 



No one wishing to purchase can doubt the prudence 

 of this course, so far as they are concerned, or the j 

 liberality of it so far as we are concerned.

' LAND AND NEGROES 



FOR SALE. 



HAVING determined to relinguish farm- 

 ing pursuits, I offer for sale, the Tract of Land, 

 on which I now reside, containing- upwards of 



900 ACRES. 



It is situated in Botetourt county, about three miles 

 from Fincastle, on the road leading to Blacksburg, 

 about 15 miles from Buchanan, on the James River 

 and Kanawha Canal, and about 12 miles from Bon- 

 sack's on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad About 



500 ACRES 



are cleared : the residue is finely timbered. The 

 Tract is abundantly watered, there being upon it not 

 less than a dozen constant Spring's. There are about 



40 ACRES 



of Meadow, and as much more could very readily be 

 made. It is well calculated either for a Stock Farm 

 or for the cultivation of Tobacco. The open Land, is 

 divided into 



TEE" OK TWELVE FIELDS, 



with good fences, and is generally in good heart. The 

 Tract is susceptible of an advantageous division into 

 at least two parcels, and it will be so divided if cir- 

 cumstances should render it expedient. 



The improvement consists of a 

 comfortable 



DWELLING HOUSE,*, 



containing five rooms, a g;uod Kitchen- 

 and other out houses; Cabins sufficient for the accom- 

 modation of 30 or 40 Negroes ; a new Stable, Corn 

 house, &c 



I also wish to sell about 



35 LIKELY NEGROES, 



consisting of Men, Women, and Children, and all 

 young with only one exception. 



It is my desire to dispose of this property privately, 

 and persons wishing to purchase are requested to 

 make immediate application ; but if a sale should not 

 be effected before the 1st of September next, said pro- 

 perty, together with all the Stock, comprising Horses, 

 Cattle, Sheep and Hogs; Farming implements; 

 Household and Kitchen Furniture, &c, &c, will on 

 that day, be offered for sale at public auction. 



Terms liberal, and will be made known to any one 

 wishing to buy.

I will sell a few young BULLS which 

 will be twelve months old this spring, 

 and are now large enough for servicfe. 

 They are very promising, and of the 

 very best blood, having been sired by 

 '•Daeotah," who was bred by Mr. Wainwright, of 

 New York. "Dacotnh" was by "May Boy," (im- 

 ported by Mr. W. from the celebrated herd of Mr. 

 Turner in England,) and out of "Red Bud," who 

 was by Imported 44 Meganticock," and out of Impor- 

 ted " Matchless." The mothers of these calves are 

 also from imported stock. 



I shall also have some BULL CALVES dropped 

 this spring, which I will sell, to be delivered this Fall 

 at the Exhibition of the Maryland State Agricultural 

 Society. 



As my herd is now increasing. I will also dispose 

 of one or two COWS and HEIFER CALVES. For 

 the character of my stock, reference can be made to 

 the award of premiums annually made to them, every 

 year that they have been exhibited at our State Fairs.
