Though we are not disposed to render to authors false praise and improper adulation, jor-to' admire, or even to assent to either whenever offered, yet we are -highly pleased when the germs of intellect are detected, or the manifestations of mind are developed, and are always ready, freely and frankly to per- form our part of duty in upholding learning and genius, and in all matters which have- re- ference to our country's literature, we art? happy to sat forth, so far as our ability allows, in a just light, whatever may be worthy of at- tention and creditable to American literature. It seems to us that Mr. Willis—some of whose productions we intend to notice in this arti- cle—has received too much unmerited cen- sure from sonne of his countrymen: With- out any justice have irjnny of the conductors of our newspapers joined riotously in cries of denunciation against him—him whom they once, were fond of praising and encouraging, totally consuming their complimentary epi- thets in the general strife to'turn the pnblic attention to his writings. After Mr. Willis had been fawningly court- ed by many of his countrymen—after his re- putation had been established, as a poet of a peculiar and high rank—after his writings had been wideiy and most of them wisely circulated, receiving little or no censure; such were the demands for his writings and such the demands of his purse, that he was induced to mingle with the effusions of his manhood, ' to eke out his volume,' some of those productions which were thrown off in his early days, when the fountains of his im- agination were just breaking forth in native rudeness; untrammelled by study, but fresh from the chambers of his heart, and of course, full of youthful sentiment. Then was pre- sented an opportunity to such men as were jealous of his' rising fame, to commence their career of criticism with somo show of fairness —then were occasions for presenting para- graphs of vituperation and periods of-vileness & detraction, &then was the 'ime to seize the 'cherished and carrcsscd child ft'om those whose smiles and support were so plentiful that he was supposed beloved by every one, and his ruthless-assassins, with almost fatai success, hurried him as fast as possible to- wards the sea of oblivion, from which doubt- less, they fondly trusted he would never arise. , While engaged as the editor of the Amer- JOHM CAMERA, U PHOLSTERER & P„APER HANG- ER, from LONDON, respectfully re- turns his sincere thanks to the inhabitants of Geneva and its vicinity, for the very liberal support he has received since his commence- ment in business, and begs to assure them, that nothing shall be wanting on his part to secure therr future favors. Having returned from New-York with a large and well selected assortment of French and American PAPER-HANGINGS, to- gether with every other article requisite for carrying on the Upholstery business, he .flat- ters himself to be able to execute any qrders entrusted tollim, equal to any house in New- York. Hair and Moss MATTRESSES, PAL- LIASES, Church and other CUSHIONS, kept on hand, and made to order, on the shortest notice. (tj 50 Main-street, next door to W. S.

Geneva, Feb. 19, 1834. 88:if ican Monthly Magazine, he was assailed with the greatest quantity of rancor, and was pur- sued with the most steady and determined opposition by those who'would not, if they were able, appreciate his merits, and who had not the honesty to declare that his wri- tings possessed beauties, even if they discov- ered them. Every month was his Magazine attacked without let or lenity, and editors who were opposed to him searched amid the accumulated rubbish of their bmin« for wit to u«e in order to depreciate the value of his periodical—a periodical which we are proud and pressed to say was one of marked origi- nality and sprightliness, and which displayed , a somewhat fanciful but fine taste for the I beautiful and praiseworthy ki literature and ' poetry, and which plainly indicated that how- I ever idle its editor had been in his nonage, he was not to be censured for that quality in mnutuxai, hut on the contrary was worthy to bo known as one striving to quench his burn- ing thirst for learning at every fountain. To point out clearly the bitterness which gene- rated the opposition with which his writings, Magaz/uve and self were assailed, an anec- dote or two will suffice. We introduce his own words: \ After writing the Editor's Table to our last number, we left the whole affair, proof, copy, and our locum tenens, in the hands ofa stern retired scholar, while we rambled pour la bngntillr. It has amused us since to see the criticisms upon the.result. The ' Review of I theTokcn,' written by this same grave severe j student, was found in the hands of the critics, to possess all the qualities so harped upon in i the productions of the regular Editor, and i ' Black Barbary,* by the same hand, the most | spirited specimen of periodical poetry we 1 in the spring; 1 remember, was written down ' lack-a-dasical,' I coarse stable manure, then three inches of have italicised! He that looks for a better passage will ncjtJLnd it—it is worthyof the best poet: . Anil thus had passed from its litipqnal frame A soul of lire—u Bmi-boni eagle strisken • From bis high soaring down^-cfn instrument Broken with itsown comjmss. He was born Taller than he might ten/ft beneath the stars, ' And with a spirit ternpered like a god's, He was sent blindfola on a path of light, And turtted aside and perished. Oh how poor , Scoins the rich gift of genius, when it lies Like the adventurous bird that hath out-Jloten His strength upon the sea, anhition wrec/ted— , A thing the thrush might pity, us she sits itroadmg in quiet on her lowly ne/t. The difficulty which he finds with that strong and beautiful couplet in Panhasius— the fust workings of his td'iodless face (Told what a,tooth of lire was at his heart, appears tcTus to be engendered by the spir- it, of petulent hypei-'-criticism. - But our time is too valuable to be employ- ed in noticing and commenting on suc,h matters. We know Mr. Willis' habits of study—we know in what manner he works over and elaborates his poetry, and that no one can in reality accuse him ,of writing in haste. Mr. Willis merits, and we believe counUySfjfi. 1110 aItent 'On and regard of his The expression and phraseology which some have been pleased to attribute to care- lessness, are those which the author has con- structed to come up to the beau-ideal which his mind has formed.

It has not been our endeavor to present any very remarkable or the best passages of Mr. Willis' writings. We have opened upon his works and copied down where our pencil, months ago, marked what we esteemed beau- ties; and we have not looked on with deep inquisitiveness to pick out all his best passa- ges. Let the person who is inclined to ques- tion his claims to renown, or who is disposed to ridicule his productions, no credit to his own judgment and honesty by reading care- fully whatever he may find credited to this author. Mr. Willis will not shrink from ex- amination. He has written no article since he was graduated at Yale, that is not valua- ble in itself and creditable to his genius. P.

This plant, well known to all farm- ers, needs no particular description Its in- jurious effects i n wheat fields, ai* yearly ex-? perienccd by our careless and- unskilful hus- bandmen. It makes its sua*~~r- —->-^ «» soil, and in case the wheat receives jnjury and* this hardy plant is left to pursue its onward course to perfection, its baneful effects are not only visible in this crop, but the next sne- ceeding wheat or rye crop must suffer by «» thus continued influence. Care ought t« fe» extended to this plant before it arrives at ma-\ turity. By what means soever the fanner' may attempt the total eradication of the plant? he will be encouraged „in the useful and s<- greeable emefprize by the conviction that the 1 perverted vigor of no other seed vttH produce' it. The proper time to remedy this: evilV where it is in existence, is the latter part of' June, in its flowering season, when itcaftea- sily be detected by its large and beautifu^fre'd , and purple blossom. -It should then be plucked up by the root. In moist weather it comes up very easy. _ The seed of thiepjant should never be suffered to come to maturi--. ty. The slighest concussion releases^ from its cell, and when once settled on- thtf earth, it is most sure to grow. OCali.seed* it is the most tenacious of the germinating principle. It is often known to lie in past ture grounds lor a number of years, and their when ploughed and wheat sowed, to spring, up and spoil, or materially injure the \crop; The remedy, then, is, clear the grouitd: r of this noxious plant, wherever it makes its api' fiearance, and npver suffer nnr rV^wtffiiy wheat, our source of wealth, owr staple cjjf-' modity, to be polluted by the presence 1 of w sable a'visaged intruder. We should aWayir> be careful to present our wheat in market 'to % the best possible advantage; i. e. have it p*^' fectly clean from every unsightly objects *lk commands then the highest price, we ar'teifiSf ashamed by the sometimes galling remrrrk* of the purchaser, and it greatly ibeTretSe* our reputation as farmers. . * FARMEB/Gy : .

The sonnet at the | end of the uumber, though printed without a j signature, is going the rounds with our name , attached to it in staring capitals, and a cer- . tain authentic critic, in an elaborate nrticle.ad- I vises us to write no more reviews, our review ; of the Token being so very like every other that we have written !\ I Two articles having appeared in the ' Bos- I ton Amateur,' purporting to be parodies— i which pointed out the style and maunerism j of his writings, were copied into his Maga- I zine by himself, and one—entitled ' Albina | McLush'—was thus commented upon: I \ A shrewd Editor remarks, that ' it would I be an admirable imitation, if it were not s o | infinitely superior to any thing the oris;innl ever wrote.' We regret to catch so sagacious ' a critic at fault, but uufortunately we ! wrote it ourself!\ i But we will cxamine-some of his writings ; and in the outset, we mus^metvtmn^thc pue- rile criticism in the Parthjraon Magazine of February. We presentr the seven verses which the writer of the article in that work has offered as a ' comple\; >i ^exejjjpHircftfion' of ' the exuberance of his~'plr. Wilfts^) style'—iind shall take the liberty to mark on his criticism, if it may be called such, The night-wind with a desolate moin swept by, And the old shutters of Hie ttirrei mvnng Hcreuming upon their hfnees, arid the moon, As the toni edges of the clouds flew past, Struggled aslant tt.e stained and tnnken pancB So dimly, that ihe watchful eye of death Scarcely was conscious when it went and came. ' in writing,' says the critic, ' that sentence, i Mr. Willis' imagination and pen must have been proving their speed; what tremen- dous leaps the fancy took, from the ' old shut- ters' to j.he moon, in a trice. By ' the watch- ful eye of death' we are at a loss what to understand, whether it be that of the Alchy- mist, or the grim tyrant himself.' Such a piece ofcriticism is a disgrace to the Pathenon. It would be well to remember that the lines quoted above form the introduction to 'The Dying Alchymist'-vwhich is the title to one of a most perfect and beautiful poem. How naturally from the' night wind,' is the attention turned to*the' shutters'' screaming upon their hinges ;' thence to the moon struggling aslant the stained and broken panes, and thence leading us within the dwelling where was 1 the' watchful eye of death.' *Ih the last sentence of the Alchymist there are as many ideas as lines, 'and so commingled that vie can gain no impression of what the author intends to convey,' continues tiie captious critic. Will the reader examine the passage, and then say that he can gain no impression. A more perfect paragraph was never written ~and a\ more poetical one never-^hqw ori- ginal and striking ; tht?' first figure which we rich earth. This brings the beds on a level with the surface of the earth- Next lay off the beds in rows eighteen by twelve inches apart, and put a single eye o r spire in each spot where the hues intersect, and cover them three inches deep with rich eanb- Plank the sides of the beds, as this prevents grass and other ftots from running into the beds, and also keeps the outside ront3 from being exposed, by the sides of the beds washing away. The beds should be kept effcan by hand weeding, and all the earth and manure used in making them should be perfectly free from grass roots and noxious weeds. In the fall of the year, after the seeds have matur- ed, cut the tops off close to the beds, (being careful that not a single seed is left to vege- tate on the beds,) as they have already as many roots as the space they occupy should con- tain, and if additional roots are suffered lo form from year to yrar from the falling of the seed every fall, the beds will soon be so much clustered with roots that the vegeta- ble must degenerate, at least insizcand length, as the new roots form near, or on the surface. Some prevent this by burning, but I think the best way is to pick them off by hand,'be- fore the ball that contains the seed breaks.— You then top dress the beds with coarse sta- ble manure, let it lie on all winter, and in the lowing spring rake off the coarsest part, ami fork in the remainder, being careful that the fork does not touch the roots. Pursue this course two falls, and early in the third spring, before the beds are forked up, put on two inches of light well rotted manure— fork it with the stable manure, then put o n from three to four inches deep of clean sand from the river shore, and you will cut in the month of April the best vegetable wehavein Virginia. I woufd not give my beds for the balance of my garden. I think there is much in the kind of seed. I obtain my seed from New-York; they were marked \giantaspar- agus.\ The cover of sand is important on several accounts; its being a great absorber of heat and moisture, so soon as the vegetable gets through the soil, it is hastily thrown through the sand to the surface in a bleached tender state; and the cutting from day to day is more uniformly of the same tender delicious veg- etable. The sand also prevents grass frqm growing on the beds, which'obviafes the ne- cessityot so much hand weeding during the season for cutting, by which the* beds fre- quently become trampled, and the vegetable that is about to come through the surface mashed down, which net only destroys the, spirtMhat are so trampled on by the garden-, er in the process .of hand weeding* ttut (Ij ; think).injures the toot.
