MBS. SIGOURNETTS EC rfOJTO ORPHAN'S CRY Our readers may remember that we published thel3th of this month, an article entitled The Orphan's Crf? with a hasty remark or two of our own among which was a suggestion tnat the circumstance jwould afford an admirable theme ior Mrs. Sigourney's sweet muse. The suggestion was not lost. We have ust re ceived -the following response which we publish with unfeigned pleasure.

We know not which mosto admire, the true3 simplicity and pathos oftne poetry or the instant readiness of the distinguished author to follow out even the humblest indication that points towards a work of humanity. THE CHILD IN SEARCH OF FATHER. They say I wd3 but four years old, When Father went away, Yet I have never seen'his face, Since that sad, parting day. He went, where brighter flowerets grow, Beneath Virginia skies, Dear Teacher, show me on your map, "Where that far country lies. I bcgg'd him Father do not go For since my mother died I love no one so well as you And elinging to his side, The tears came gushing down ray cheeks Until my eyes were dim Some, were in sorrow for the dead, And some in love for him.

i He knelt, and pray'd of God above, "My little daughter spare, And till we both shall meet again, Oh keep her in thy care." He does not come I watch for him, At evening twilight grey, Till every -shadow wears his shape, Along the grassy way. muse, and listen all alone, When stormy winds are high, And think I hear his tender tone And call, but no reply And so I've done these four long years, Within a lonely home, Yt every dream of hope is vain Why don't my father come Father, dear father, are you sick Upon a stranger shore Grandmother says it must be so, write to us once more, And let your little daug'itercome, To smooth your restless bed, And. hold the cordial to your lips, And press your aching head. Alas! I fear me he is dead. Who will ray trouble share Or tell me where his form is laid, And let me travel there By Mother's tomb I love to sit Where the green' branches wave, Good people I-Jtetp an orphan child Tofind-herFather's grave.

ItEtoLVTioxARY Anecdote. We were lately handed an interesting relh of the revolution, by an old citizen of this place. It is a copy of printed in the city of Philadelphia by, Francis Bally, on Wednesday, October 24 1781, now a few clays over 56 years ago. "In it we find several pleasing reminiscences of tht period. The taking of Lord Corn-wallis, seven days "previous, is related in the fol- lowing manner Be it remembered That on the 17th day of October, 11781 Lieutenant General Charles Earl Corn wallis, with above five thousand Brit ish troops, surrendered themselves prismers of war to his Excellency Gsm ncnrM the allied forces of trance ana ueor We do not remember to have 7 iuu MUU' paper, haye(9ften -heard when we siueam me env oi i-niiaueipa.

We commend it to the attention of our as aflordi gsome useful hints on a subject of interest farmer Cabinet. An obstacle in tne wav ot good husbandry in the west is the size ot the nrms. Very gvneral- Ivthevaretoo large.

1 he cheapness of land oners an (inducement to the larmer to procure a large trat. And the fashion being set, he who has not tjiree, four, five or six hundred acres of scale his thing, I have no doubt operates detrimen ally to the general interests "of ture, and to the individual disad vantage or tne i propnetoj rs. it a man possesses tin means of purchasing a farm of five hundred, or even five thousand acres, and then, of suitably improving, stocking-j and cultivating it, it might operate well enough as regards himself. But it loo gen erally happens that the farmer settling among us, purchases land to the full extent of his me'ans. hen, if (improved, his improvements progress very slowly, and will be at least imperfect, if not very inferior.

His grounds partially cleared, his enc lojsures insecure, his barns and stables (if perchance he has any) mre temporary sheds, and his own dwelling, a poor, ontractedi uncom fortable cabin, and all this for the sake of having a large farm. But the mischief ends not here it is perhaps still more injuriously manifest in the cuhlvaiion. A large firm requires large- fields aid crops. Accordingly you see a field set anartlfor corn, of the contents of one hund red acre. But the deficiency of means will not admit thoroughly breaking with ihe plough, perhaps mot all, and the po jr substitute of fur rowing 4ut as some call it, is resorted to.

The after culture of the crop is in keeping with the commencement, and nature would be true to herself if she not give such a harvest as such culture deserves. What there is lies ne glected in the field, or unhoused at some other point, uritil unruly animals, allured by bad fences, claim a arge lilhl of the produce, or till the storms cjf winter destroy a large portion of the sum mens labor. Now suppose this whole busi ncss put! upon a smaller scale, and graduated by the means of the proprietos suppose th quantity of ground tilled is twenty, instead of one hundred acres. 1 his well broke, and ploughed, and hoell, and weeded in after culture, timely gathered and well secured, the profit would pro bably, hdve been an hundred per cent, belter. all this, it is onfy where tanning is carried on on a small scale, generally, that you witness that universal neatness, and taste, and fi lish which throw around ihe wholescene sort of fural enchantment, which attracts and I' I 1 sit impresses every beholder.

Ana the thing is most easily accounted for. The is under the farmer's own eye, and wrought chiefly, if not exclqsivey, by his own hands and those his healthy jns. He seeks not to be proprietor of an agriculiural empire, in extent, but to create agricultural paradise of concentrated atirac lions and beauties. It is co the small farms in every country that you are to look generally for the best models, finest taste, the most pleasure, and the largest profits upon ihe investment. I am (confident that fifty acres, cultivated in the very best styla of modern improvements, would yield more in profit than many iof your nve hundred acre larmsnow yield.

It is an excellent rule never to take in hand more ground than you can cultivate in the best mannerf; for be assured that if you calculate to make up the. defects of culture by increasing the quantity Ot ground thus defectively cultivated you will find yourself greatly in error.
