orchard grass by philo white of all the characters that the days of trial brought forth not one presents such extraordinary mixture of early infirmity and of splendid manhood us patrick henry but early or late he had not artificial pretensions ail his gifts were the gifts of nature ; all his lights the lights of unaided na ture habitually idle he entered in to trade ; then agriculture returned after marriage to trade again and failed in all ! he took to the forest as a huntsman and finally touched with the sufferings of an amiable wife and his lovely children without study or preparation he urged his way to the bar at the age of twenty-four and there displayed the forensic wonders of his mind to the eloquence the matchless spirit and the genius of this man mr jefferson with his usual frankness and decision of character ascribed the first impulse which vir ginia received in the glorious cause of freednm to the stamp act mr hen ry opposed a resistance before which the efforts of royalty sunk to rise no more in the year 1765 he carried by a single vote the liberties of his country in 1774 he together with george washington and others were deputed to the colonial congress it was in arpenter's hall philadelphia he poured lorth those hursts of elo quence which at once kindled r.p the glowing flames of liberty and blasted lor ever the tory hopes of the refugee and the royalist patrick henry had the glory of first assigning to wash ington the meed of superior virtue and wisdom it was henry who at once invoked the war and spirit which was to conduct the colonies to free dom and to victory he was a great advocate of state independence as the sure and indeed the onlv means of avoiding actual consolidation the first offices at h'une and abroad were i tendered to this singular genius but he declined them all like wash ■ ington he was free from ambition and three-score years terminated the earthly career of both these models of public purity and perfect devotion to their country if patrick henry had his errors early in life our young readers will recollect that they died long before he did and do not belong even to his tomb the rest is in scribed by the gratitude of the people upon the tablet of the nation as an imperishable lesson to the children of the republic u:l ifiv -', 1825 w have often read and heard so much said on the value of orchard grais as induced me to try it i sowed two acres in mv orchard very thick by it self and alongside of it red clover no difference in the quality ot land the first year mowed the clover a good swarth the orchard grass not worth mowing turned the hogs and horses cn it — they kept eating the clover but never touched the orchard grass ex cept when they were drove through it and then only with their hoofs when hard frost had killed the clover and other pasture the horses and cows would eat it though sparingly the second year the orchard grass got in to coarse tussocky bunches grew very rank and made coarse light hay little if any better than oat straw that was cut green it is not ten days earlier pasture than clover and not half as good ; the hay no better than millet which is bad enough a horse that has been kept on the best clover and tim othy hay for a length of time will e:.t oat rve or wheat straw in preference to the good hay for a day or two 1 suppose they like a change and ac counts for their eating orchard grass and millet straw in preference to timo thy as i have seen stated ; but keep a horse on millet or orchard grass for a month after he has been eating good timothy and clover and if he does not full off and look ihe worse he must be very different from mv horses thomas massey the terms of the western carolinian will kermtter bj as follows : three dollars a year
