Convivial Parting Song From Gotham Written By D C S Greenfield
The writer submits a previously unpublished song drafted during a stay in Gotham. At a mutual friend’s request it is presented as a convivial parting song for Commandant J Crocker of the Barque Twin Brothers before his departure for a distant land. The author notes it may offend strict abstinence views yet defends friendship as the influence behind this turn from its original morale.

Reclaiming Unproductive Lands Through Deep Tillage and Pasture
The author argues for reviving worn lands via two paths: heavy manuring and expanding pasture. He favors gradual deep tillage, letting decaying clover enrich the soil, and drawing nutrients from woods swamps and runs. Deepening soil over time, not all at once, will foster fertility and sustained growth.
Thorough farming urged to reclaim worn soils
The article argues for careful farming and crop rotation to restore land fertility, noting that rest and grazing alone won’t suffice. It compares U S and European yields, cites judge Buel on long-term reclamation, and contrasts England Scotland and Flanders. It ends with reflections on Eve and aging myths and anecdotes of Yankees abroad.

Ireland Described in Far-Flung View and Crumbling Promise
Thomas Ritchie’s 1849 portrait lists Ireland’s size and riches from coal and iron to peat and copper while lamenting wasted resources. Emigration to America numbers over 1.25 million in 20 years and exports top 85 to 100 million dollars, yet shunned industry and trade leave ports empty and poverty rising.
