DOWH BY A PUBXIKO XBOOXLKT.

Down by a parting brooklet, In a valley green and fair,

Entranced with Nature's beauties, I roamed in raptnre there.

Down from a bidden fountain, In a far-off mountain lide.

This little stream came winding on, And onward still did glide.

Through hidden nook and by-path,— Through woods and quiet doll,—

Rippling along in music sweet, As o'er the stones it fell.

Till, with this winding streamlet, My thoughts went bounding on

Through the misty spray of Memory, To the days so long since gone.

On, on they rped, till now-time Was lost before the past,

And my youth-sun's rising glory A halo round me cast.

:,'.

those glories prepared by the Father for Ilia children.

The household band is broken; a bright link in the chain has been sun- dered ; ye who "Jived and loved together," What means this separation? 'Tis God that hath thus broken in upon

kj'our circle, and can you not discern His hand ?

He speaks to you by the departure of your loved sister, and invites you to partake of those joys that enabled her to smile in oil her pain, and when asked if willing to die, to reply, " I long to be with my Saviour; but His will, not ■nine, be done." The sister's prayers on earth are ended, bat in Heaven.they are all remembered.' Iter lifeless form has been laid in the grave near the village church, but Augutta is a happy spirit in the presence of her. Saviour.— Art affectionate daughter, a loving sister, a kind friend^ has thus early passed away; yet we will hope to meet her again, for " she it not dead? but only "fallen asleep in Jesus." R. v. A.

On, till besides streamlet I stood a child again ;

And the scene to me was lovely, Was beautiful is then.

As then, when in my childhood I sported gayly there,

While earth was green about me, And Nature's dress was fair.

While my young heart caroled gayly With the birds upon the trees.

Or bounded with the streamlet, Or sported with the breese.

O, those were halcyon moments ! On the wings of Hope the* sped,'

And the joys that hung upon them Ace withered now, and dead.

Lost to the outward vision, Crashed from' fife's checkered scroll,

But living in my spirit, And graven on my soul.

And there, through all time's changes, Where e'er my lot be cast,

All shining in their brightness, There characters will last.

■ ._ sssr<i*T I'll bear them onward with me, Unto that boundless shore,

Where earth's frail, fleeting pleasures, Wilt sink to rise no more.

And when beneath death's surges, I lose this fleeting breath,

I'll bear them with my spirit Beyond the bourn of death.

And there with heavenly rapture, Upon that blessed shoro,

I'll lay them with immortal joys That bloom lo fucre no more.

Cornirtttftrrtrttinte, THOUGHTS SUGGESTED BY THE DBATH

OS MISS ABBIE AUGUSTA. KENDALL

" She is not dead, but sleepeth."

Thus spake- Jesus to the bereaved ones as they surrounded the couch of the young sleeper. These words may also be applied to those who " fall asleep in Jesus ;" ' not dead, but sleeping'— again to waken and ascend on high, when He who rules, the universe shall bid " heaven Bind earth pass away." We are not as deeply impressed when the aged die, for who of us can look upon a brow silvered with the frosts of time, and not feel their last sands are falling I But when the young are " cat down," a loud voice comes as it were from the "spirit world," prepare to follow.

"Was not Jesus just as truly in that chamber of death where lay the young Christian, as when with Peter, James and John He entered the room where lay "the damsel?" Is He not ever present with those who love Him, when about to step upon the ' waters of Jor- dan ?' Does not His right hand guide, His arm support then, as they cross the stream ? Who, but Jesus, their "elder Brother," lands them safe on Canaan's shore ?

Ye mourning souls, be comforted— the loved one is " not dead, but sleepeth." After a painful and distressing illness which she bore with Christian patience; ever breathing my "Father's will be doue," she has entered into that rest which remaineth for her. Afflicted parents; while each day will bring to mind thoughts of the deported, and the tear of anguish often fall, can you not find some sweet drops mingled with the bitterness of that cup your Father has bade you drink ? Surety you have reason to rejoice that she died " the death of the righteous." Little did you think, when she chose thai better part—when her voice was* tuned to sing redeeming love - that she would be called thus early from the vineyard to the Master. The first of your loved ones to confess Christ on earth—the first to praise Him in the heavenly courts above. Not dead; her eyes have only closed upon "things of til

KERB. HEMANS.

In the following passage from Miss Jewsbury'a Three Histories, she avow- edly describes Mrs. Hetnans:

•' Egeria was totally different from any oiler person I hart ever seen, either in Italy or England. She did not daz- zle ; she subdued me. Other women might be more commanding, more ver- satile, more acute, but I never sa one so exquisitely feminine Her birth, her education, but above all, the genius With which she was gifted, combined to inspire a passion for the ethereal, the tender, the imaginative, the heroic, in one word.the beautiful It was in her faculty diviiê, and yet of daily life; it touched all things, but, like a sunbeam, touched them with si golden finger.

Anything abstract or scientific was unintelligible or distasteful to her. Her knowledge was extensive and various ; but, (rue to the first principle of her nature, it was poetry that she sought in history, scenery, character and religious belief—poetry that guided all her studies, governed all her thoughts, colored alt her imaginative conversation. Her nature was at once simple and pro- found ; there was no room in her mind for philosophy, nor in her heart for ambition. The one was filled by imagination, the other engrossed by tenderness.

She had a passive temper, but decided tastes; any one might influence, but very few impressed her. Her strength and her weakness lay alike in ber affections; these would sometimes make her. weep, at others, imbue her with courage ; so that she was alternately a 'falcon-hearted dove,' and a' reed broken with the wind.' Her voice was a sweet sad melody, and her spirits reminded me of an old poet's description of the orange tree, with its,

" Golden lamps, bid in a night of green,"

or of those Spanish gardens where the pomegranate blossoms beside the cypress. Her gladness was like a burst or sun- light; and if in her sadness she resem- bled night, it was night wearing her stars. I might describe and describe forever, but I should never succeed in portraying Egeria. She Was a Muse, a Grace, a variable child, a dependent woman, the Italy of human beings."

AKXCDOT* OF GOTEHAL LMLES OOO^Ba. . Although a veteran of the war of 1812, and one of it* bravest, General Coombs still retains the sprightliness of youth; his head is erect, his back straight as a pine tree, bis eye bright as a game- cock's, and his laugh as cheerful as the carol of a bird in nesting time., All these qualities are doubtless owing (0 an internal well-spring of wit and hu- mor, as certain to keep the outer mat) fresh ant! verdurous as the spray of a fountain will keep its borders in perpetual bloom. One day the General was travelling in a stage-coach with one of those unhappy philosophers who bestow more attention; to the bumps on their skulls than on the linings thereof, yclept phrenologists. Of course, everybody in the coach was thoroughly bored by this professor, until the General drew him into an unlucky ambuscade. " Sir," said Leslie, "I used to be of opinion that this science was neither correct nor founded upon proper grounds, although I had never given the subject the attention I now find it merits; but I am con- vinced, from the very able discourse you have given us, that your theory is a just one, and of no little consequence when we need te make an estimate of the characters and dispositions of men. But, although I bad no great faith in it, yet I was sometimes struck with a re- semblance in its leading features to a science with which I am familiar, and by which I am in a great measure guided in my intercourse with strangers—*'

" I presume," interrupted the professor, with a. smile of self-satisfaction, " you allude to physiogomy V

" No, sir," replied the General, " my science is dogology."

"DogolOgy?" echoed the professor, aghast.

" Dogrdogy,"* s«M the General, with a witmJng smile. T can tell, sir, hy the appearance of a dog what sort of a man his master is."

" Sir," replied the phrenologist, drawing himself up stiffly, " I see your intention is te oast ridicule upon my science."

with great wrinkles on his cheeks, short, belligerent ears, heavy, thick eyes, broad chest, bandy fore-legs, and a tail that looked as if it had been gnawed off, made its appearance, " is an uneducated man. In disposition he is suspicious and obstinate; very wrong-headed; not likely lo have many frieitds- men like himself; not likely to take much interest in public affairs ; close in his, dealings, and not given to talk it*, c much."

"By thunder I" said the landlord, " you've got him again. The owner of that bull-dog is a Dutch butcher. He don't talk, for he can't speak English good; he don't take any interest in public matters, 'cause he can't vote; and he's obstinate as a mule, as t know, for he always gets more pounds of meat on his bill than there is in his weight, and he won't take off a cent, neither."

" That dog, said General Leslie, ele- vating his voice, for he was very much elated with his success thus far, and he saw a capital specimen of the bull-terrier coming up the road—a union of ferocity and cunning; heavy-headed, lank-bodied, broad-breasted, eyes like coals of tire; ears and tail cropped for rough-and-tumble fighting; "that dog, gentlemen, is owned by a man who is probably the worst man in this town, if not in the State of Kentucky. He is destitute of honor and principle, and would not hesitate to take the life of any man for the sake of a few dollars."

Here he was interrupted by a voice in the crowd:

• " Look here, stranger, you're making a little too free with my character! That dog belongs to me I" and the speaker pushed bis way through the crowd, and confronted the dogologist.

" My friend," said the General, calmly, poshing back the hair from his high forehead, " I want to ask you a question—where did you get that dog?"

"By George!" said the man, "I raited him ■'"

u Then," said the -General, "I've lost the drinks. I was only betting on dogology, and, my friend, you have swept me. Come in," said he to the phrenolo-

4MS - WHAT IS A KILLION r Now that China is made a free citi-

zen of the world, and we are told that her three hundred millions of human beings are open- to intercommunication with ourselves; now that London can boast her two million five hundred thousand inhabitants; now (hat remains of millions of nnimnlcuhe are calculated to be impasted together within a cubic inch of some of the commonest rocks of the globe: how that Mr. Bind informs us that the comet which flames across the sky is to approach us as near, and no nearer, than fifty-one millions of miles-(that is, about half the distance between us and the sun) ; now that we are instructed that the denizens of the Milky Way are distant from oa billions and trillions and quadrillions of leagues, in comparison with which sums the ' million' shrinks to a unit, it may be well to pause and answer the question for ourselves, of what is that Unit—what is a milion? I say 'pause,' because the word becomes so familiar to as through frequent use, especially in relation to celestial computations, that one might almost expect to hear it applied as a term of moderation—' only a million 1" Are we not apt to use it without realiz- ing it1 The argumenlum ad hominem is a great elucidation.

a most amiable expression of cOuTRtb- nantie, "T will convince you to the contrary. A' ê n*xt town, where we stop for dinner, and which I have never visited before, I will tell you from the dogs in the street, what sort of men their owners are. And, if I fail to do so, I will forfeit the drinks for the whole stage-toad of passengers."

" Oh, yes! that you could readily make up a fanciful theory, I am con- vinced, and draw an imaginary character tor the matter of every dog. I have tolerable good reasons for believing; but hew ant I vo felt whether yon are correct or not ? I am a stranger here as welt S3 ySuT8elf|"said the wary professor.

" We Will leave the decision to the landlord of the tavern where we stop. He must know every person in the place," replied the General. !

" Agreed," said the phrenologist, winking, and regaining his self-satisfied air; "I agree to that and will forfeit the drinks if the landlord's account tal- lies w'th your descriptions."

On arriving at the tavern, dinner was speedily discussed, the passengers being anxious to enjoy the exhibition of this novel science. The General beckoned the landlord out of the bar-room; this drew alt the idlers with him, so what with them and the passengers there was a tolerably large group in front of the tavern, and of course this attracted other persons to see what was going on, so that, by the time the landlord had been made acquainted with his duties as arbiter, quite a respectable audience Was collected—in numbers, at least.

"The owner of that dog," said the General, as a line pointer with a steel chain-collar around his neck passed," is a gentleman of education and property. He lives well, dresses well, has a fine house, (the best house in town, quoth the landlord), enjoys himself rationally, is fond of society, a sportsman (that he is), is generally popular, and on good terms with his neighbors. How is that, landlord r

" True as a die," said the landlord; " the very man."

Just then a little wiry Scotch terrier darted from nnder a garden gate, opposite, and rushed up street after a flock of chickens. " The owner of that dog," said the speaker, " is a boy, about fourteen or fifteen years of age. A sly little rogue, always about some mischief;

Utiis gentleman. And I hope the rest of the crowd will join me in a drink to old Kentucky."

PHXLpPItffA. ■■,j„„ | ■ ■ We believe this pleasant amusement

for boys and girls, and sometimes those of a more mature age, originated in Germany, where it is called viel liebchen, which, as it is spoken, has the sound of philipkin, which may have been the

if any, , origin of our word, to Which we have given a Latin termination—pena—because it infers that a penalty or forfeit- ure exacted or won by the tact or management of the winning party. With us the thing is managed, however, ex- cessively clumsy, and - quite without skill. A person in company chances to find a double-meated almond, and hands half the meat to another, who says,' or rather should Say, "tanl afraid, aha refuse, 6r may accept one of fire nuts, «nd eat it at the same time the chal- lenging party eats the other.

Thus they separate; but when they meet again, the one that can think to say " philopena" first to the other wins the forfeit, and has a right to name what it shall be—generally, among children, some trifle; or among young folks, some little present, suitable to the condition of the parties. Thus, a young tady wtto Wins a philopena of a gentleman may immediately add. " I wear No. 61 kids." If the parties meet in the street, the lady may say, " Oh, yes; I see you notice my parasol is getting old. Well, then, I accept." But the gentleman must never allude to her want of an article, but exercise bis ■itdgment as to what would be accept- able. Generally, in our haste to win philopena, we forget propriety, and become rude, in this land of thrift and hurry.

The thing is far better and more pleasantly managed in Germany, and calls into exercise some of the most useful faculties of the mind. . When a

This depends, however, upon whether they speak their own utter- ances or those of some other " spirit" In the latter condition, and at election times, they sometimes tell " awful" lies. They are conceded to tell the truth, however, in matters of money at interest, though even then sometimes producing almost incredible results. For instance, figures say that if any young man upon his twentieth birth-day will invest $100 in any stock paying ten per cent., and annually thereafter will invest the same amount and the accumulation of interest, lie will be worth when he is thirty years old, 81788; when forty years old, •6300; when fifty years old, *18,lo0 ; when sixty years old, WB.TOO.

At the same time, he is watching to catch her off her guurd--for the first nweptamce of any offer from the other ends the game. Both are constantly exercising their wits to prevent being caught, and the sport often goes

tion in America than in England. Nor need we be surprised at this, since we stand in the relation of a more remote posterity to Burke than do the English people, and are free from the disturbing influences which must necessarily be felt by English writers. In England family traditions have still sufficient vitality to color the popular impression of Burke and his contemporaries. It was natural that the immediate descendants of those who were brought into contact or collision With him should in- herit the opinions of his own day. In many instances, as in the case of the late Lord Holland, the influence- of these transmitted opinions has very largely affected contemporary judgments. Added to this, Burke was always a zealous partisan, and in attempting to measure his powers, English writers have attached a chief importance to his opinions on party questions of comparatively temporary moment.—- On this side of the Atlantic we art not influenced by these personal and party considerations, and are, therefore, more attracted by the essential and immutable principles which he always connected

Perhaps, the gentleman brings a little present, saying: "Knowing that I shall lose my philopena, I have brought

OBITUARY.—Died in this town, March 18th, Rosanna Coburn. She was the daughter of Jubea, afterwards called Booz Cbiokering, and Pbillis Frye. Root was brought from the West Indies by Deacon Osgood, where he left a wife and four children. At the time he was married in this country, he belonged to Samuel Cbiokering. Pbillis Frye was brought from Africa, and arrived in Cbarlestown one hundred and fourteen years ago; she was then ten years old. Joshua Frye, of this town, who was a representative to the General Court at that time, bought her. She'had fourteen children, and died at the age of one hundred and one yean..

Phillis was often consulted in the latter part of her life by the Overseers of the Poor, with regard to the pedigree of persons applying for help, and her memory was so remarkably retentive that the information was reliable. Booz and Phillis had a house on the Salem turnpike, a short distance north of the house of William Pe- ters. After the building was demolished, the oven remained standing fifteen years.

Rose was brought up in the family of James Frye, and was originally a slave.— Her husband, Titus Coburn, was a Revolu- tionary soldier, and died many years ago. For a few years past she has received a pension of ninety-six dollars annually, which with the charities bestowed upon her, hat given her a very comfortable rapport. Her daughter, Colley Hooper, died a year or two since. Rose was strictly honest, always in good spirits, and would enjoy a laugh as well at any young person. Her age is not precisely known, but from the best information the writer could obtain six years ago, when collecting facts for " Octo- genary Sketches," she was ninety-two years old the 29th of last July; although some persons believe her to have been one hundred at the time of her death. Although possessed of " a skin not colored like our own," but few were more highly regarded, and only few leave a better record behind them. Peace to her ashes.

THK APPROACHINO SEASON.—Spring- time and summer, with their legitimate results of abundant harvests, are again rapidly approaching. Who, that contemplates the refreshing forest shades of summer; the lowing meads and pastures; the ample fields of grass, grain, corn, potatoes, squashes, melons, and the abundant orchards, vine- yards and gardens, and houses stuffed with plenty, and barns and poultry yards alive with real live creature comforts, would not like to break away during warm weather from even the most desirable of all pent up city or village pursuits, to expand and recu- perate their powers in the wide, ample fields and forests, and lend a hand to the prond farmers and t,heir robust, healthy families, in skimming the cream and forking over to themselves the first cut of every eorrtly gootfct thing V Agriculture is the only business among ua which is not over- done ; and this noble and exhilarating pur- suit can never be of less consequence than the most important of all other professions. Soil is rich, and superabundant all about us; and hundreds of mistaken boys, who are seeking for "genteel (?) (but poverty-stric- ken) situations," In sickly, pent-up shops and stores, might by striking out manfully with some of the many good farmers who want such aid, in a few years be masters of the business, and comparatively rich and independent. E. S.

Essex, March 28, 1859. Messrs. Editor/!—A little son of Mr.

David Knowlton narrowly escaped death on Thursday last, near the great bridge in this town. He foil from a wharf, below the mill, and was nearly drowned when rescued by Messrs. Asa F. Perkins and Moses L Andrews.

A very singular life of suffering has just closed in this town. I refer to the death of Mrs. Lydia Story, a few days sinew, at the

-age of seventy-tour years. She has not been out of the house in fourteen years.— Ten years she hat not been able to walk across the floor of her room. Her limbs have been drawn up by rheumatism, and were painful,at times. We have other old people among us who are in the full enjoy- ment of life, and seem to be growing young again. One couple were married on Wed- nesday, the 28d inst. The gentleman was seventy-seven years old, and this is his fourth conquest The lady was a maiden of sixty-three_ summers. A band of im- promptu musicians serenaded the happy couple, late on the evening of their nuptials. The performance is said to have been excellent, considering the instruments used, which were mostly tin pans and tin horns.

CLOSE OF THE WINTER SCHOOLS.— The examination of the Bailey Dist. School, winter term, occurred on Monday afternoon, and afforded very great satisfaction to the large number of parents and others present.

Whole number of scholars, 27. Average attendance, 25j. Not absent, 12 ; only when sick, 2 ; absence of six others only ten and a half day*. Present at examination, 26. Length of school, 15 weeks. Visitors during the term, 36. Spectators at examination, 35.

The exercises throughout indicated the most assiduous exertions on the part of the teacher, and very close application to study by the pupils. Every branch of science taught in the school seemed to be well understood. Miss Hamlin has taught in the district several terms in succession, and is deserving of great praise for her unremit- ting endeavors to render herself useful in the vocation for which she it so admirably adapted. The Bailey district school, although on the outskirts of the town, is excelled by no other in Andover. Let parents and friends of education in every district cherish their schools as a precions treasure, and co-operate with teachers and committee in securing their greatest efficiency.

We might speak favorably of most of the schools in town the past winter, but as the annual report of the Committee it already in the hands of the printer, we shall refrain from anticipating it farther.

SPRING: GOODS.—But few stores this tide of Boston have been filled with a more extensive and varied assortment of goods for the spring trade, than that of the Kim- ball Brothers, Lawrence. See advertisement on next page.

—— . «».. Joteph Newell, Esq., of West Newbury,

has been appointed Justice of the Peace for

GKOVELAND, March 30, 1859. Messrs. Editors:—This town is remarka-

bly backward in the cause of education— or has been until quite recendy—and oven now the appropriation for schools falls far below the average of the towns in the immediate vicinity. The Centre district about two years ago erected a fine, substan- tial school house, at a cost of three thousand dollars; and at a district meeting held on Tuesday evening, voted to raise six hundred dollars to pay the district debt, and also voted to enclose the schoolbouse and grounds with a fence, to compare with the other appurtenances of the district

Among the matters of interest, worthy of note, we would mention the purchase .of a tract of land near the ferry, by Mr. T. H. Balch, who, finding his present accommodations too small for his increasing business, has decided to build a warehouse for coal, on this land, which is admirably adapted for the coal business. Mr. Balch engaged in this business last year as an experiment, and it has been a very successful experiment, no doubt, as the result has shown him.

Mr. J. K. P. Balcb, of the firm of Balch & Co., Lyons, Iowa, is now paying a visit to the " old folks at home," and is also buying.. goods for the spring trade. Mr. B. tells J *g very good story of a barter trade he made with a farmer living within fifteen miles out of the city. This gentleman bought a pair of boots, but was unable to pay the cash for them, and so bargained to pay the equivalent in corn, "on the cob," at the " g0'ng price," delivered in Lyons. The corn amounted to fifty-two bushels, and it took the man all day, with a four-horse team, to transport this through the mud, which was very deep, to its place of destination. If this is not purchasing a foundation, what is ? And still we are told that we can make our fortunes, if we only " go West." STICK.

Gimnl ftooj Itatters. THE LATE COL. JAQUES.—Col. Samuel

Jaques, the well-known proprietor of the Ten Hills Farm, in Somerville, died a few days since. From a biographical sketch in the Courier, we learn that the deceased was born at Wilmington, in Middlesex county, Sept 12, 1776.- His paternal an- cestor, Henry Jaques, emigrated to this country from England in 1640. At the age of ten or twelve years, the deceased was placed in Cbarlestown, where, in after years, by his industry and ability, he acquired a fortune, so that in middle life he found himself the farther of a large family, high in social position and rich. The fail- ure of a mercantile house in London, however, suddenly made him a poor man, but still possessing the blessings of health, energy and resolution, and, what were quite as opportune, strong personal friends. A number of the latter, who bad often joined Mr. Jaques in the pleasure and excitement of fox-hunting, of which he was passionately fond and in which be frequently indulged, originated a stock company, by which the splendid estate known as the " Ten Hills Farm" was purchased and placed in bis hands, under such favorable terms of payment that he long since retrieved his fallen fortunes. '"

In early life Col. Jaques was a prominent member of the volunteer militia, and from a private rapidly rose to the rank of Adjut- ant General. During the war of 1812, be was for a short period in actual service, and at one time had command of a small body of men and a battery of cannon, stationed in Chelsea, for the purpose of checking the advance of a detachment of the British army, which was reported at being about to effect a landing in that quarter. At the laying of the corner stone of the Bunker Hill monument, by Gen. Lafayette, June 17, 182S, Cot. Jaques held the office of chief marshal. Por thirty-two years, from 1806 to 1838, he was Inspector General of Hops. He had great fondness for out-door occupations, and took a deep and lively interest in horticultural and agricultural matters. He accomplished very much for the improvement of the breeds of domestic an- imals in this section of the country.

SICKLY.—The liquor agents of Ames- bury and Salisbury report more than fourteen thousand sales of liquor in those two towns last year, or twenty-Are sales a day for each town. When we consider what a large qnantity, purchased jn this city, goes into the tame towns, we conclude that they mutt have suffered from tome other disease than the measles.—Newburyport Herald.

CLOSE VOTING.—From the returns of the Now Hampshire election, reported in the Concord Statesman, we find that in thirty-four instances the republican and democratic candidates had exactly the number of votes cast at the election in 1858, by the rtanm party. In forty instances the party vote was within one of that cast the previous year, In twenty-nine cases it was within two; in twenty two cases within three; in twenty-seven cases within four; twenty-five cases within five; twenty-six oases within six ■ fourteen instances within seven; seventeen cases within eight, and eleven cases within nine votes of the last election ; making 245 instances in all where there was not ten votes difference between the two years.

A DISCOURAGING STATE OF AFFAIRS. —The Wisconsin Chief bat a correspondent who takes a doleful view of affairs:

He avert that all confidence is lost between man and man. The bottom has fallen out of everything. Shrewd business managers are cheating God in their professions, and the devil in their bargains.— Ginger is made out of mustard, and coffee out of chicory. Young Hyson is raised in the cow pasture, and Young America in the dram-shop. Pure wines are made of poor whisky, and Havanas of herbs. Rascality has become a virtue, and rot gut turned to vinegar. Legislatures are marked as merchants mark goods, and the people's funds absorbed « by charitable purposes." Gov- ernors are knocked off at $50,000; legislatures from $5,000 to $20,000. Railroad stock is down below zero. Caucuses arc " packed," and young men electioneered on the Sabbatb. Fairbanks' scales have taken to swindling, and old rats selling their tails to spike cannon. Jewsharps are palmed oil i ta harps of a thousand strings, and Demo-1 crata at" genuine Republicans"—iperrit* of just men made perfect Sausages are adul- terated, and tempting links seem to wag in the most dogged mariner. Our territory, as well as crinoline, is indefinitely expand- ing. Bright rows of pearls are made at the dentist's, and ambrosial curls at the hair dresser's. In fine, there are none truthful save horse-jockeys; none patriotic save pol- iticians ; none talented but those who make " on change" of a grocery-corner and cheat out of the needy what they give to the poor.

Keep a box of u Mr MOTHER'S SALVB" by you; there is nothing equal 10 it for relieving paint, healing sores, etc. See advertisement.

The wide reputation which Dr. J. Hostet- ter's " Stomach Bitters" have attained during the past year, bespeaks its excellence in a more forcible manner than any words which we can offer. It renovates, purifies and strengthens the system, and aids the stomach in the performance of its functions. It it regarded on all sides as a sovereign specific, and therefore, to procure it in the best possible way, should be the object of Ihe public— We commend it with more than usual zeal and confidence, believing and knowing ai we do that it stands foremost among the many preparations of the day, for imparting strength, vigor and tone to the system, and possessing the curative powers for all similar diseases arising from a disordered stomach. In the most severe cases of cramps, diarnosa and weakness in the stomach, the " Bitters" have been rigidly tested, and always with the greatest success. For sale by druggists and dealers generally, everywhere.

UNGULAR CASE.—The Salem Register says that at a sale of furniture in that city, recently, there was accidentally discovered in one of the articles sold, a small secret drawer, in which was found a will, duly drawn, and signed and witnessed, which was not presented for probate at the time of the testator's death. The will was made thirty-three years ago; the testator has been-dead a quarter of a century; and the property was long ago administered upon and distributed by due process of law. AVhether the. legatees or their heirs, who may have an interest in the distribution, will take any measures to secure the establishment of this testamentary document, remains to be teen.

REASONING OF A NEWFOUNDLAND DOG.—Extraordinary as the following anecdote may appear to some persons, it is strictly true, and shows the sense, and I am strongly inclined to add, reason of the New- foundland dog.

A friend of mine, while shooting wild foul with his brother, was attended by a sagacious dog of this breed. In getting near some reeds by the side of a river, they threw down their bats, add crept to the edge of the water, when they fired at some birds. They soon afterwards sent the dog j to bring their hats, one of which was smaller than the other. After several attempts to I bring them both together in hit mouth, the i dog at last placed the smaller hat in the I largor on, pressed it down with bis foot, and ! thus was able to bring them both at the! same time.—Jesse's Anecdotes of Dogs.

CANINE SAGACITY.—We learn from the } Worcester Spy that a little ton of Samuel, H. Colton, who lives on the' outskirts of Worcester, was saved from an untimely I death on Thursday, by the sagacity of a j dog. The lad had wandered away to a I nook where a deep snow-drift remained, into which he wallowed till he became chilled and unable to extricate himself.— The family dog, which was with him, com- prehending his situation, started off for a man whom he discovered in the distance, and who was engaged with others in search- ing for the boy, and by significant motions and gestures, led him to the place where the boy was. The lad was so exhausted as hardly to be able to speak, and but for this fortunate discovery must Boon have per- ished, as he was in a place where no one one would have thought of looking for blm.

A SMART SPELL. — A gentleman in North Chester, Vt, two or three weeks since, offered as a prize a copy of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary to the one of the scholars in all the public schools in town who would " spell all the others down."— Several schools were accordingly represented, and about a doxen teachers and a large crowd of spectators were present, when the trial took place on the 25th ult. But one trial was to be had on a word, and the unfortunate who misted must take bit or her teat. Eighty scholars contested for the< honor and the prize, and, after five hours*

tvj. THUELL'S.—We can all remember when I.

W. Trnell mad* np Ms mind that Lawrence would support an additional dry goods store of the first quality. We can all remember, too, the quiet, neat and convenient store which he rented, and in which he made, without exception, the most tasty and inviting display of goods in tbe city. Ha has now. mated a (tore equal in capacity to any other in the city, and excelled by none fur the comfort and convenience which, it afford* to customers. We took occasion, a few days since, to look in upon him, and to see how he flourished in his new quarters. We found an excellent assortment of rich goods, in all the varieties of style, finish and expense, and saw, to onr satisfaction, that oar ladies were bestowing a very liberal patronage, in reward for his enterprise and endeavors to meet their wishes. So we hope It may ever bo. The only method for securing an obedience to public wishes and desires, is to favor those who strive to meet them. Mr. TruelPs success is bat the legitimate result of enterprise and ability.—Law- rence Sentinel

I. W. TBUELL& Co.—It will be seen that this enterprising firm have taken the head of the column in the paper, and knowing their facilities for doing basinet*, and their, atten- tivencss to the wants of customers, we are sure they will not be found in the rear of business operations. There is no need of advising any one to call and examine ther good*, because when person* hare visited their store once they are sure to "call again."—Lawrtxce Courier. .»*«~

# SPRING GOODS.—The season for new good*

I* now at hand, and among those who are anticipating the wants of the ladies, by filling their shelves with fresh goods, none exercise better taste than the well-ettabl ished firm of I. W. Truell 4 Co., Pemberton Block. One of the best things that can be said of them is that those who bny once at their store, are almost certain to call again.—Lawrence Amer- ican.

MESSRS. I. W. TRUELL & Co.. of Lawrence, who hare so long advertised their goods in oar columns, have this Spring added materially to their stock, both in variety and extent. An experience of about tan years at Lawrence enable* them to. anticipate the wants of their customers, and provide just those goods whieh are known to suit. Their good taste and skill in selecting goods; their uniform courtesy, industry and honorable dealing, merit tbe pat ronage of the community. We trust oar citi- rens will give them a call at this time.—Ad- vertiter.

Throwing it »w*y, k'vuitT by it, and thriving by it, m three very different thing*. We will Illustrate oar meaning:

Z Throwing away Industry.

There are three farmer* - of whose doings we have been observant for many years—were so situated that while we iittitmled to our own business, we could »ot well avoid observing theirs.

The first Inherited • farm of eighty or one hundred acres, worth, say, with the stock on it, $3,000. On coming into possession, be owed nothing, but on the other hand, bad a few small accounts against good men. His farm was of medium quality, with " pasture, mowland and tillage," in good proportions. '

But he was averse to alterations; was remarkably industrious; would work twice before he would think once j had no fancy for changes; his father had done well enough in the old way ; and he was for letting " well enough alone. All things.-on that farm remained as they were, except that before his father's tioath there had been two to work on it, and now there WM but one. His father had taught him that it is not profitable to hire labor, that a farmer must do all his work, and have no hired labor to l>ny for out of the year's products. It was a fixed, unalterable maxim with him, that a farm will not produce enough more for the labor of a hired man, to pay his wages and board. That was so j his father said so, and he knew it. All reasoning about an increased future pro- ductiveness in consequence of labor now bestowed, was mere fancy. The best way was to do what he could, and have no hired man to pay.

Well, what is the result I Why, the man baa worked well; has done as much on that farm as one man ought; the fences are as numerous as ten years ago, but not quite as good ; the laud that was productive then is just about as productive now; that which was then unproductive, simply for the want of labor, produces nothing now ; the owner has had rather an expensive family, has scrimped and lived, and nothing more. But how? More by the interest of his money, or rather by the rent of his farm, than by his industry. His farm would have rented for 9300 a year, at least, or would have sold for a sum that would have given that interest, and that would have furnished his family with about as many comforts as they have had. The name of this farmer was Jacob Slow.

//. Living Industry.

James Fast was faster than Jacob Slow, but not as fast as he might have been with perfect safety. He commenced with a similar farm, but unfor- tunately, owed about half its value.— He did not believe in taking much risk, but ventured to purchuse good implements instead of using the old stubs ; to expend a few dollars for extra manures, and to hire a man six months in summer. We will not now go largely into his farming operations. Having introduced him to our readers, we assure them he is a real good fellow, and they shall hear more of him another time.

At the <»d of ten years he had paid off »'»e mortgage, bad considerably en- hanced the value of his farm, owed no man anything, had a little money be- forehand, and all the while had lived well enough, and had never failed to put his shoulder to the wheel, when the public good or private charity required it. This might be called living. But James Fast will tell you he might have done better; that his fault has been excessive caution; that if he had brought his land up sooner, by investing more in labor and fertilizers at first, he would to-day have been farther on in the race. His own language is, " If I were to go over those ten years again, I would not be in such a chafe to pay off the mortgage, but would lay out the first money on the land, and make it produce like blazes." He compares the crop of the first vears with those he now grows, the small' number of highly productive acres then with the larger number now, from which he draws out the figures and proves that one dollar buried in the soil the first year has done him far more good than a dollar paid on the mortgage.

III. Thriving Industry.

John Faster was not fast in any bad seme of the term. He was very different from his neighbors, of whom we have before spoken—generous in his temperament, but not reckless ; bolder

■ in his operations than either of the others, but not rash. His farm contained nearly two hundred acres. It was larger, but otherwise no better than either of the above mentioned. For years it had been worked by a one man power, and of course, but here and there a patch had been worked at ail. It was in the summer that he bought it, cross and all; and the crops were made up more of bushes and poly pod, than corn, wheat, or grass. Such parts of the farm as nature had made cultivable without much help from man, had been run Over, and the rest had been run round. Straggling fences ran in every possible direction; arid with all sorts of angles and corves.

John's predecessor had contrived to keep up or down, a great many fences

The buiUlings wen) badly located, in- convenient and out of repair. It had been held by a man who, like Jacob Slow's father and himself, did not believe in paying wages for farm work.— What one man could not do had been left undone, and consequently, the undone on that farm was more than the done. It was bought with a small and rather shabby stock—such as an uncul- tivated farm will keep—and a few implements, more notable for their age than for any original merit, at a little more than four thousand dollars. John Faster was in debt nearly four thousand dollars the day he took possession, and many were the predictions that he would never pay up.

John went to work. He hired two men, one for the summer and the other for the whole year,, which, with his own labor and occasional days' works, was equivalent to three men ; and with a span of horses for all work, and a good yoke of oxen, just about quadrupled the one man working force of the farm.— If we take into account the more effect- ive implements he used, it would hardly be extravagant to say, that the working force was five-fold that of his predecessor. We have before said that he went deeper into debt, before he began to get out, and will here add that he is not yet wholly out of debt; but in twelve years be has turned a universally reported poor farm into one of the best, and is now worth more, over and above all indebtedness, than the value of the farm at the time of the purchase.— How this has been done, shall be explained in a future number. John Faster has always scouted the idea that a faithfui hired man, or even one that is not very faithful, nor remarkably intelligent, if working with a wide-awake employer, will earn no more on a farm than barely to pay the board, wages and wear of implements. He knows that he and each of his men have done more than that, either in present increase of crops, or in paving the way for future increase; and it'is with him a settled point, that well-directed labor on the farm pays a profit. But more of him arid his farming hereafter ; only let it be understood that John Faster is a live man, not a myth.—American Farmer's Magazine.

TRAINING HORSES.—It is a curious fact that if you suffer a two year old coif to break his halter, or break away from his fastening on a first trial, he will never forget it. He will pull and pull again, that you may have a timber chain around his neck, and one end around the largest tree, lie will pull and pull to get away, for he remembers that he has once succeeded in breaking his halter, and he has not judgment enough to distinguish between a halter and a timber chain. Some men see the difference after the halter is broken, and this proves that they have more judgment than colts.

Horses remember so long that their bad habits are not easily corrected.— Hence the importance of beginning right and holding on till a complete mastery is obtained. S—,

Apple trees planted near a barn-yard, will soon throw out their roots under the burn and yard, where they will find an abundance of nourishment, which has soaked downward from the surface of the yard, and which, did they not save, could not be made available in any other way. In consequence of their proximity to the yard and barn, they will not need any manuring or further attention, save to protect them from cattle, till they gel out of their reach, which they will soon do and come into bearing. The fruit raised from trees so planted, is large and well developed, and they almost always hang full.

Cuau FOB GARGKT. — A oow for which I paid eighty-five dollars, came from her pasture with her udder caked " hard as a brick." I milked her as well as I could, getting but little milk, it being so tbiok that I had to pull it out with my fingers. I then made a strong decoction of wormwood, thick- ened a little with Indian meal, and rubbed it in thoroughly with the hand. I repeated it in the morning, getting away all the coagulated milk possible, and at night found my favorite as well as ever.—Rural New Yorker.

HOP YEAST.—Take as many potatoes as you wish—say a dozen—pare and boil them in just water enough to cover them. When they are boiled soft, mash them fine in the water, and thicken with flour while it is scalding hot a little thicker then pancake batter; when it is sufficiently cool, add a little bop yeast to raise it. When it comes up it will be fit for use, and may be used for bread or biscuit, the same way as any other yeast. This yeast may be kept from one to four weeks, according to the coolness of the weather, and the place you keep it in. It should be covered tight from the air. I keep it in a small-mouthed jar, with an oilcloth tied tight over Wr—D. W.% in Prairie Far.

FLATTRKT.—Men who praise you to your face are ever to be suspected. The Italians have a very expressive proverb on this subject: " He who ca- resses you more than he was wont to do, has either deceived you, or is about to do it." I have never known the sentiment in this proverb to fail.—Adam Clarke.

A story is told of a doctor in tho goodly town of B , not a hundred miles from Vermont. The doctor kept missing his wood, and set .watch. As was expected, it proved to be the work of a near neighbor, who soon appeared, and carefully culling out all dry wood, started off with an armful. The doctor hastily gathered up an armful of green wood, and followed, tugging as fast as he could, and just as the man threw down bis armful, the doctor did the same, exclaiming, " There, you must burn green wood a part of the time—I have to," and departed, leaving the thief to his own reflections.

THE OLD ELM BT THE WAYSIDE.

The old elm by the wayside, How it reared it* stately form I

Regardless of the autumn blast. And of the driving storm ;

It stood .there in its grandeur And old centennial pride—

An ancient landmark seemed It, The old elm by the wayside.

O. well we loved the musie Its maaslTe foliage pi]

Stirred by the summer I While resting neath it* shade

There careless children's voices Mingled a happy tide,

As lovingly they sported 'Neath the old elm by the wayside.

To rest beneath its shadow Ambition's votary came,

To build on coming honors, Arid dream of future fame ;

The maiden fair to dream of love; The bold youth In his pride;

Here came to find a still retreat ' 'Neath the old elm by the wayside.

Fond eyes have watched its waving, Tilled with the swelling tears,

As its gentle music bora them back O'er the stormy waste of years;

Change ha* crossed the pathway, Joy sunk 'neath sorrow's tide,

Yet still it stood here firm and sure, Tbe old elm by the wayside.

Moments gather around it, Of fondly cherished years,

And sunshine from the shadowy past Its Spreading branches bears;

Tend hearts hare loved it with as- True friends who long since died—

And now we stand here all alone Like the old elm by the wayside.

But change, which passeth over all The loved things that we see,

Was slowly working at the heart Of this dear old elm tree,

And noiselessly its vitals ate, And all its life-sap dried,

Now the woodman's axe has laid it low, The old elm by the wayside.

CoimimnTcatrons. XAHTIPPB.

I noticed in one of the Boston papers recently, a paragraph vindicating in some measure the character of Xan- tippe, the wife of Socrates, from the aspersions cast npon it by posterity. I had never before seen anything in her favor; and in an eloquent and interesting lecture on the " Life of Socrates," at the lyceum ia this town, Xantippe was spoken of as "the worst woman that ever lived."

Now, Socrates is described by his historian as a man perfectly indifferent to conventional forms and usages: neg- ligent in his personal appearance to such a degree that he was held in popular derison by those of his own generation excepting his own disciples, who almost adored him for his wisdom and philo- sophical teachings, as well as his amiable temper. Socrates at the " banquet of Xenophon," being extremely delighted with the performances of a young female dancer, said, " This girl has eon- firmed me in the opinion I have had of a long time, that the female sex are nothing inferior to ours, excepting only in strength of body, or perhaps steadi- ness of judgment. Now, gentlemen who have wives amongst us, may take my word for it, they are capable of learning anything you are willing they should know." "If so," said one, "if this be tbe real sentiment of your heart, why do you not instruct Xantippe?"— "I do with her," he answered, "like those who would learn horsemanship ; they do not choose easy, tame horses, but the highest mettled and hardest mouthed, believing if they can tame these, there can be none, too hard to manage. I designed to converse with all sorts of people, and I believed I should And nothing to disturb me in their coversation or manners, being once accustomed to tbe unhappy temper of Xantippe."

Now, Socrates had to die before his his teachings were fullf appreciated.— True, in looking back on the life of such an individual, we see only his great virtues and his glowing thoughts, which he communicated to men in his daily intercourse. We are not annoyed as the people of his age were, with his uncouth personal appearance, his want of neatness, and with his obtruding what must have seemed to strangers impolite questions, to say the least, at all times and placet, where be went an uninvited guest. Under such circumstances, and with his careless, improvi- dent temperament, be ought to have followed the example of St. Paul, and not have incurred tbe responsibility of providing for a family. Any one in this nineteenth century, taking a retrospect

of the daily cares and anxieties which Xantippe must have endured to provide for the increasing wants of a family, struggling with poverty, while her ineffi- cient husband was spending his time in ostensibly trying to benefit others, by going from place to place, to converse with all who would listen to him, at the same time neglecting to provide a competent support for his own household, most feel that posterity has done injus- tice to the memory of Xantippe.

Had Socrates chosen a mild, amiable and refined woman, of a sensitive temperament aad cultivated mind, such a course as that pursued by her philosoph- ical husband would have driven her to an early grave, o'erburdened with care and perplexity, but ns he chose, not one he loved, and intended to cherish, but one from merely selfish motives, he must have expected that her high spirit and passionate feelings would "have increased to an unlimited extent, and that as she was not loved, she could.not, of course, feel that attachment and respect for him, which alone would lead her to study his comfort and pleasure. And, as she was uneducated, why did he not endeavor, like his worthy friend Ischo- machus, to guide, inform and direct his wife in the way of prudence and wisdom ? Had he done so, and practiced in his family some of those beautiful precepts which he taught in public, probably we never should have heard of the name of Xantippe—certainly not as the termagant.

After the death of Socrates she was inconsolable, and to one of her passionate nature grief and poverty added to her pride mutt have been insupportable. Xenophon, the disciple and devoted friend of Socrates, writes to her, affec- tionately desiring ber to moderate her excessive grief, on account of her children, and promising that himself and others, the friends and disciples of her husband, would maintain and protect them, for bis sake.

I wish some competent pen would give ut the true character of madam Socrates, taking into consideration her trials in being obliged to submit to the petty annoyances which are inseparably connected with the domestic life of such a philosopher; for we never hear the care-worn wife and mother alluded to save as an intolerable vixen. May I be permitted to record my compassion for her frailties, (which were no more than human), and my sympathy as a woman, for the heart -suffering of an unloved and unrespected wife and mother. M. C. L. S.

jJtUriioits. MENTAL ACTION.

Except freedom from sin, intense, vigorous, untiring action is the mind's highest pleasure. I would not wish to go to heaven did I believe its inhabitants were to sit inactively by purling streams, to be fanned into indolent slumbers by balmy breezes. Heaven, to be a place of happiness, must be a place of activity. Has the far-reaching mind of Newton rested from his pro- found investigations ? Have David and Isaiah hung up their harps, useless as the dusty armor in Westminster Abbey ? Hat Paul, glowing with god-like enthu- siasm, ceased to itinerate the universe of God ? Are Peter and Cyprian, Lu- ther and Edwards, and I add Wesley and Whittield, idling away eternity in mere Psalm-singing? Heaven It a place of untiring thought. There, the saints unclogged by cumbrous clay, forever feast oa a banquet of thought— rich, glorious thought. Young gentlemen, press on I you will never get through. An eternity of untiring thought is before you, and the UNIVERSE or THODOBT is your field.—Lyman Beechtr.

i ssefsas USEFUL MAXIMS.—Begin life with

the least expense and the least show possible, you may at pleasure increase both ; you cannot easily diminish them. Do not think your estate your own while any man can call upon you for money and you cannot pay; therefore begin with timorous parsimony. Let it be your first care not to be in any man's debt. Resolve not to be poor— whatever you have, spend lest. Pov- erty is a great enemy to human happiness ; It certainly destroyt liberty and makes tome virtues impracticable and others extremely difficult.

■ ■ ■ I m I '

It it rarely that an individual can be found who knowt the golden mean—the miter on the on* hand, on account of his desire to be rich, deprives himself of the comforts and necessaries of life, and the man of the world on account of his more foolish desire to appear rich, becomes slave to intolerable extravagance.

MB8T LOVB.

"Am I your only and first love?" asked a bright-eyed girl, as she reclined her classically-mouHed brow upon the shoulder of her lover.

" No, Leila; you are not my only, not my first—I have loved another.— Long before I saw you I loved another, and love that other still."

"Love that other still, and better than me, Paul! why do you tell me that?" asked the, raising her dark blue eyes, and gazing steadfastly Into those of her lover, half in astonishment, half in sorrow, while her jeweled fingers tightened convulsively upon his arms. ' «' You asked me, Leila, and I answered with truth and sincerity; you would not have me deceive you J"

" You love her stf!l then?" "I love her still" " And better than you do me?*' " Not better, but as well." " And will love her still ?" - " Until death, and even beyond death,

over her last resting-place will strew spring's earliest flowers, and bedew the sacred spot with the purest tears that love ever shed."

" Handsomer than I, is she not?" '' Her eyes are as black as night, and

her hair in glossy blackness outvies the wing of the raven. She hasn't your sweet blue eyes, not your soft brown hair! Yet, oh, Leila! her eves have been the sweetest to me, that ever looked the look of eternal love."

"Paul, why de you wish to break my heart ? Why have yon taught me to love you so wildly and blindly, and then, in the midst of my happiness, tell me there is an impassible bar- rier between us ? This night, Paul, we must part forever! I would not have believed this, had another told me," and her eyes grew dint with tears.

" Be not too rash, Leila, hear me to the end j you teve me too dearly to part with me thus. Think you that you could not share my heart with one that I so dearly love ?'

" Never, Paul, never!" " You shall, Leila, and must! Listen

for a moment, while 1 tell you of my first love, and I am sure you will be willing to share with her then."

" I will listen, Paul, but I will not share your love—-1 matt have all or none; I am selfish in that respect, and who loves as I do that is not ? Forget me, Paul, or forget her forever."

"Forget her, Leila? Never! I would not lose one jot of her pure affection for the fairest face that ever bloomed; no, not for the girdle of Ve- nus, nor the love of a second Helen."

" Then, Paul, you are lost to me forever—we must part. Farewell to our every dream of" a brighter future. I love you too well, and am too proud to share your love with aught created.— Oh, Paul, you have wronged me deeply," aud her exquisitely chiselled lips curled with indignant sorrow.

" Stop, Leila, or you will deeply wrong me, also. I met this loved one, as I said before, long years ago, in one of the sunniest vales of our broad Illi- nois ; wandered with, her, hand in hand, for years, beside the sparkling waters of my boyhood's home. First by her smiles of exquisite sweetness, she taught my heart that she loved me with unut- terable fondness; and never have I doubted ; my trust in her has ever been steadfast and fearless; never have her eyes looked coldly upon me, and never will they, till the death angel shall dim them for the long sleep. Oft in the still hours of night have I been awakened, as if by the sweep of God's wing, and beheld that face, whose eyes were gazing upon me with all the beatific tenderness of a guardian angel over a repentant prodigal, and a kiss would fall upon my brow, more soothing than the dews of heaven.

" The same gentle hand has led me along life's flowery way, and beside its unruffled waters; and if ever my arm was raised to a deed of wrong, or my heart steeled to conceive it, that gentle monitory voice came whispering in my ear, and stayed the one midmav and drew the iron from the other. And I do remember, in my manhood's riper years, when the deep sorrow fell upon my soul, and I fain would have drank oblivion from the wine cup't fiery brim, that same dark-eyed woman came and bade me, in the name of God, to shun the fatal snare -, and twining her arms

All men who do anything, must endure a depreciation of their efforts. It is the dirt which their chariot wheels throw up.

THE KIAattLK OT WABHDfOTOir. As every well verified anecdote

concerning Washington is interesting, and, if illustrative of the man, valuable, I give you the following: When a boy I spent a week at Woodlands, formerly a portion of the Mount Vernon property, but given to his nephew. Major Lawrence Lewis, by Washington, as (I believe) a wedding present. The mansion, surrounded by 2000 acres of land, is about three miles from Mount Vernon Mansion. The first time I went over to Mount Vernon was with Major Lewis, who took me over the grounds and all Sgecfcbe house—giving me, as we went along, many very interesting anecdotes and illustrations. Passing through a small room, built in an old-fashioned way,' with the fire-place in the corner, he told me there was the study of himself and Custis, (whose sister Major Lewis married).

" One day," said he, " while sitting at our books, the hearth was piled with wood in the true Virginia fashion, and the fire cracking away, when tbe top log fell down upon tbe iron hearth.— Custis got up and took the tongs and tried to put it in place—then I tried, but we, though well-grown, athletic lads, could not move it. Whilst thus engaged, the hall door opened and the General's step was heard, as was his custom to come directly to the room to see that study was going on properly. Ashamed to confess we could not move the log, we flew to our books and pre- tended to be absorbed in them. As the General passed through the room, he caught up the tongs, seised tbe log and threw it up into its place, apparently with the utmost ease, remarking,' My boys, you are so hard at it you do not see that the fire has fallen down.'" This is certainly a good illustration of Washington's great physical strength.

During my visit they were repairing the saloon, the large room for entertaining, on the left of the hall as you enter. It was decorated after designs suggested by Washington himself. The ceiling it coved, and at the four angles of tbe coving were agricultural emblems in groups. The fire-place was similarly decorated. Over the dado, or chair- board, as it was called, ran one of those scalloped paper borders, which had been cut out by the following persons: Lady Washington, the General, Miss Custis, (afterwards Mrs. L.) G. W. Lafayette, Louis Phillippe, and Mr. Custis, now of Arlington. The Gener- al had gone out to his farm, and the young men with their guns, when a rain drove them in doors. Finding the two ladies engaged in cutting out this long border, they all got scissors, and making a frolic of it soon finished it. When I saw it, time had pretty much obliterated the colors of the border, but its waved or scalloped outline was plain enough, and for this I think it ought to have been preserved; but they were already destroying it in the repairs of the room.—Jiotton Transcript.

TBS JAPANESE.

The houses in Japan are of the most simple construction and of little cost.— Most are from twenty to twenty-five feet square, some being light frames covered on the sides with thin rough boards, and others having bamboo poles stretching horizontally, while others are interwoven perpendicularly, and all closely, on which a coat of mortar is plastered, composed of mud and out rice straw or coarse grass. The roof is usually of thatch, half a foot thick, and made of tbe same coarse grass. Fre- quently tbe sides of the house are made of thatch only. Such a thing as a chimney is unknown. Usually the front side has paper windows, besides a single door, and a whole house may easily be converted into one room or many by sliding partitions.

As to furniture, there is neither bed, table or chair; belt the floors are covered with mate, which are always kept white and neat; indeed, the people generally are remarkable for neatness and cleanliness, in person, bouses, food and dress, when of the latter they may happen to have any, for while the higher and better classes drees very neatly, a multitude of the common people ean hardly be said to dress at all, a rag about, their waists indicating the full extent of patronage they give to manu- factuers and tailors.

THE SEEDS 0? CONIT/atPTIOir. The terrible mortality caused by

bronchitis, pneumonia, and consumption, which together kill—in England and Wales only—a hundred thousand people, (being one fourth of the entire mortality from more than sTnundred other causes in addition to themselves,) should make us think a little seriously of many tilings, and not least seriously of tbe freaks of fashion, which set climate at defiance. Why do we send children abroad in damp and cold weather, with their legs bare, submitted, tender as their bodies are, to risks that even strong adults could not brave with impunity ? Custom has made this matter appear familiar and trifling, but it it not out of place to say that tbe denial to young children of proper skirts to their clothes, and warm covering to their legs, has sown the seeds of consumption ia thousands and thousands, and is, of many dangerous things done in obedience to laws of fashion, the ope that is tbe most tbougbtless ana cruel. It is in the child that consumption can most readily be planted—in the child, that when the tendency exists, it ran be conquered, if at all. It is to be fought against by protecting the body with sufficient clothing against chill aad damp, by securing it plenty of wholesome sleep not suffocative sleep among cur- tains and feathers—plenty of free ablu- tion without prejudice on behalf of water, icy cold, plenty of cheerful exercise short of fatigue, plenty of meat and bread, and wholesome pudding. Those, indeed, are the things wanted by all children. Many a child pines in health upon a diet stinted with the best intentions. But the truth is, that it is not possible to over-feed a child with simple wholesome eatables. It can be stimulated to excess in tbe demolishing of sickly dainties; and, with a stomach once fairly depraved, may be made in- competent to say when it has had too little or too much. But a child fed only upon wholesome things knows better than any mamma can tell when it wants more ; it can eat a great deal; has not only to maintain life, but to add height and breadth to stature. Fortify it, then, against variations of climate, by meeting freely the demands of the body; give it full animal vigor to resist un- wholesome impressions. Especially let the good house-wife, who hat a young family to feed, learn to be utterly reckless of her milk score. Somebody has declared a pint of milk toODontain as much nourishment as half a pound of ■neat. Be that as it may, it is the right kind of food for little ones to thrive upon, and may save much subsequent expenditure for cod liver oil.—House- hold Words.

OTTAB OT BOSBS.

The Ottar of Roses was discovered by chance at Lahore in India. The favrite Sultana of the Emperor Shah- Jehan, seeking to strengthen his passion and attach him more strongly to herself by delightful sensations, conceived tbe idea of bathing ia rose water, and had a reservoir in her garden filled with it. The rays of the sun acting upon the water, the essence which it contained concentrated itself into little particles of oil, which floated on the surface of the basin. As tbe attendants tried to gather it to cleanse the vessel, they porceived it exhaled its delicious perfume. It is now prepared on a large scale in Egypt Persia, Cashmere, India, and other countries of the East. The precise species from which tbe oil is extracted is not, in all cases, certainly known ; but it is said to be obtained from tbe R. damasceria in Northern India, and tbe R. moschata in Persia.

The roses of Ghazipoor, on the river Ganges, are cultivated In enormous fields of hundreds of acres, whose delightful odor can be perceived at seven miles distance. The Ottar is made here ip the following manner j on 40 lbs. of the petals are poured 60 lbs. of water, and they are then distilled, over a slow Are, until 30 lbs. of rote water is obtained. This is poured on to 40 lbs. of fresh petals, and from that it distilled at most but 80 lbs. of rose water, which it now exposed to the cold night air, and in the morning a small quantity of oil is found on tbe surface. From 200,- 000 roses, about 80 lbs. of petals are got, and from these, at tho utmost, an ounce and a half only of the oil is obtained ; which at Ghazipoor it worth 920 an ounce. Col. Potter, in Hindo- stan, obtatned only three drachms from one bundled pounds of the petals.—Col- umbia Courier.

EYE-8IGHT.

Milton's blindness was the result of overwork and tbe dyspepsia.

' One of the most eminent American divines has for sometime been compelled to forego the pleasures of reading, has spent thousands of dollar* in vain, and lost years of time, in consequence of getting up several hours before day, and studying by artificial light His eyes will never get well.

Multitudes of men and women have made their eyes weak for life, by tbe too free use of eye-sight in reading small print, and doing fine sewing. In view of these things it is well to observe tUV'iollbwing" rules in the use of the eyes:

Avoid all the sudden changes between light and darkness.

Never begin to read, write or taw, for several minutes after coming from darkness to a bright light.

Never read by twilight, moonlight, or on a very cloudy day.

■Never read or sew directly in front of the light, window, Or door. '

It is best to have the Ugnt fall from above, obliquely over the left shouhler.

Never sleep so that, on first awakening, the eyes shall open oa the light of a window.

Do not use the eye-sight by light so scant that it requires an effort to dis- criminate,

Too much light crentet a glare, and paint, and confuses the sight. The moment you are sensible of an effort to distinguish, that moment cense, and take a walk or ride.

The moment you are instinctively prompted to rub the eyes, that moment Cease using them.

If tbe eye-lids are glued together oa waking up, do pot forcibly open them; but apply tbe saliva with the finger—it is the speediest dilutent in the world— then'wash eyes and face in warm water.

As an evidence of the familiar rela- tionship exisiting between the ministers of bygone days and the members of their congregations, the following anecdote, related to tbe writer, will serve as an an illustration:

Old Parson had. long and ear- neatly solicited the attendance at public worship of two of his parishioners.— Being men of peculiar dispositions and temperaments, and the Parson an acuto observer of human nature, the latter adopted a plan which might be regarded as somewhat liberal and indulgent, but which proved efficient in accomplishing his purpose and obtaining their audience. They bad oojsnjained much of his prolixity, and oKXBr indisposition to " hear him throifl • " Whenever you become w eerie tiFwitb listening to my sermon," said the parson, "just give me a signal, and I will immediately stop." This proposition, was acceded to, and the following Sabbath they made their appearance at church. The parson proceeded with fan discourse, endeavoring to especially Impress tbe two woridsmen by employing forcible language and vivid illustrations. He had just drawn a somewhat warmly colored picture of the future abode of the wicked, when one of the party gave a significant gesture. The parson immediately recognized the signal, and stopped his discourse, remarking: "I regret, brethren, to be obliged lo conclude tbe services, but two of my con- gregation seem desirous that I should leave them in that awful place I wat just describing. May the Lord have mercy on them I"

Lablache had a passion for snuff- boxes. When bantered by bit friends about thit whim, he would jocosely argue that a man's life was spent in a snuff-box : when he it born he is put in a snuff box without a ltd, i. e., a cradle ; when he rides out he goes in a snuff-box with two lids on the sides, a carriage; and when he dies, he it put in a sutiff-

«Ou> AUK'S" LAST. — Some may think that Abraham Lincoln, our late candidate for United States Senator against Douglas, feels greatly disap- pointed and grieved because of his defeat. On the contrary, we assure both his supporters and opponents that no man ever took a defeat more philosoph- ically or good-naturedly.

A gentleman who was at Springfield last week, tells us that on the day of tbe election of Douglas by the Legislature, a number of " Old Abe's" friends called on him, and one of them remarked " Well, Abe, I suppose you are not going to ' cry over spilt milk,' are you r

" As to that," rejoined Lincoln, with bis accustomed good-natured smile, " I am in the predicament of a tall young fellow I once luar'd tell on, who, while running up hill, stumbled, fell, and hurt bis toe quite badly. Some one coming up, asked him whether he was agoing to cry or laugh about it. ' Wal,' said the tall youth, * I suppose I am too big to cry about it, but it hurts too awful bad to laugh!'"

The company exploded at so apropos an illustration, our tall Abe joining in as heartily as the rest.—Chicago Jour.

PERSONAL.—The regret at the removal fiom town of Rev. Mr. Fisher, is not confined to tho Church and Society to which he has ministered for several years, but is shared largely by the entire community.— His faithful labors in the pulpit and out of it have secured for him a large place in the affections of the people, and as he goes to a larger field of ministerial effort, their best wishes for his stiW&ater usefulness will accompany him. ■ Bk

THE PUNCHAHI> SCHOOL—Some would add "free School,'' but it would be a mis. nonier. There was a time when Hie opening of this institution was anticipated as an event of great educational advantage to the Andover*. But how is it? It has had a fair trial under four different nominal Superintendents of its instruction, and yet where are its many, very beneficial results ? Will its worthy managers, (of the purity of whose intentions no one reasonably doubts,) show that it has answered the reasonable ex- pectations of its friends ? If not, will they not admit the inquiry: Have they managed skilfully ? Have they made this school duly accessible and advantageous to the children for whom k was designed V Have they not undaly controlled the freedom of the learned and experienced teachers they have hitherto employed, and thereby diminished their capacity for usefulness ? No profession is more important than that of the well qualified and conscientious school teacher. And to be the most useful, beloved and obeyed, which are the highest privileges of his high, noble calling, none require to be so free from all obvious out-side dictation and over-ruling. A teacher bound and restrict- ed by any other human power than his own high moral sense of right and wrong, and of justice and mercy towards his pupils, is in their estimation a mere automaton, a bond-man or at least a man of straw, to be trampled on at pleasure. He can feel in himself no responsibility, self-reliance, or ambition, anil they none of the youthful en- thusiasm to please and excel, which every experienced teacher knows to be indispens- able; yes, most emphatically so, to their progression, and the harmony and happiness of the school.

What effect the recent partial change in Board of Trustees of the Punchard School is to have, remains to be seen. If, compar- ing its past history with that of similar institutions in neighboring towns, the Honorable Board is self-satisfied with its past experiments, the same policy will of course be pursued through the three succeeding years of its administration, E. S.

At a meeting of the Free Church, held at their vestry on Monday evening, Rev. Mr. Fisher stated that he had received a call from Lawrence, and desired to be dismissed from his pastoral relation to the church, for the purpose of accepting it The church reluctantly concurred in his request, and then passed unanimously the following pre- amble and resolution.

rPAerevM, Rev. Caleb E. Fisher, for nearly four years past, minister of the Free Church, Andover, of which we are members, has received a call to settle over the Lawrenoe Street Church, Lawrence, and has acoepted the same, therefore,

Resolved, That we regard brother Fisher as an able, faithful and laborious minister of the Gospel; and his preaching adapted to quicken and build up Christians in holiness, and to bring tinners to the Saviour. While we most deeply regret his removal from us, we shall ever cherish for him the choicest memories and follow him with our prayers for his growth in grace, and for, greatly increased success in laboring in his Master's Vineyard.

LOVEJOT & WOOD, Not. 6 and 10 Sum- mer Street, Boston, call the attention of the public to their superior assortment of Eng- lish Carpetings, just landed from Liver- pool. The sales will be made at the old prices, cheap and satisfactory.

LEGISLATIVE.—The Finance Committee reported the annual tax bill, by which it appears that the amount appropriated from the treasury the present year, is about $1,000,- 000. The estimated revenue is $725,898|

which, with cash on hand and uncalled-for balances, makes the amount of resources $660,$86 09. The nominal deficiency is $320,616 10. A tax of $299,994 is recommended. The bill was passed to be engrossed under a suspension of the rules.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Wednesday morning of last week, Moses Stevens of West Newbury rose from his bed in apparent health, but before breakfast time he was A corpse. He was a former about fifty years of age, and given to the use of strong drinks, says the Newburyport Herald. 1 sa I

CHANGE OF CARS.—It will be seen that several changes have taken place in the arrival and departure of the cars.

The Suffolk Flour Mills, on Eastern R R Wharf, Boston, were nearly destroyed by fire on Saturday morning last Loss $150,000.

ADJOURNMENT or THE LEGISLATURE.

—The Legislature adjourned on Wednesday night, after a session of ninety-one days, which is ten days'longer than last year.— 1 be vioveroor deserves great credit for vetoing a bill by which the members had voted themselves $300 each for an extra session. Many of the acts and resolves pasted will contribute to the public welfare, while tome others, to say the least, teem to be of doubtful character. The Legislature will meet again the first of September, to pass upon the revised statutes. During the interim a large committee is to tit and prepare for final action. The laws of this State have been pretty thoroughly tinkered every year by the legislature; have been in charge of commissioners for four years; and now an extra session is required " to fix" them. After inch operations as these, if they remain for a few years to that it will not puz- zle a Philadelphia lawyer to understand them, the future will not compare with the past

She had wandered through the grove and bypath to the house of Dea. Holt, a distance of a mile at least from the spot whence she started.

BEWARE OF PICKPOCRETS.—A lady of this town took the afternoon train on Mon- day for Lawrence. In getting out of the cars a young gentleman brushed by her rather unceremoniously, and the toon misted her purse containing about seven dollars.— Too much caution against rogues cannot be used.

A GOOD SUGGESTION A friend in the southeastern section of this couuty mentions Hon. James D. Black, of Danvers, as a suitable person to fill the vacancy in the Board of County Commissioners occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Haskell, of Ips- wich. Mr. Black it a very high-minded, honorable man, and well qualified to fill the office.

Messrs. Editors: —The annual meeting of our town was held to-day by adjournment, and passed off very quietly. There was some discussion over the auditors' report.— The auditors of last year made a report at the annual meeting, which was not correct. It was referred to the new auditors, who made their report at the adjourned meeting. The old auditors pitched into the new report, which was ably defended by its au- thors. Hon. David Choatc was the author of the first report, and J. M. Richardson was the chairman of the new committee.— The new report was adopted.

We have got as near to the town school system as we could. We have refused to the district committees the power to contract with teachers. I hope the bill now before the Legislature, which provides for the establishment of the, town system, will become a law. We need it

Mr. Ilosi'ord, and becoming dissatisfied ac the action of that Society, in voting not to build a new house of worship, seceded and formed a new Society. They have purchased a lot on the corner of Main and White streets, and will toon commence the erection of a boose of worship.

It is stated that Harris has connected with < him two young and beantiful females, with ] whom he takes lodgings at hotels. . Of! course the good looks and fascinating man- , ners of the ladies attract numerous admirers, ' and some of the advances of the gentlemen are of such a character that Harris, it is alleged, under the assumed relation of bus band, uncle, or brother, steps in, and by meant of threats, obtains urge tumt ol money. It is said several well-known citizens have been victimized in thit manner. Harris, under the assumed name of Prescott Fitzallen, publishes a paper called " The Coquette."

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

TBUBLL'S.—Wo can all remember when I. W. Truell made op his mind that Lawrence would support an additional dry goods store

of the first quality. We can all remember, too, the quiet, neat and convenient store which he rented, and in which he made, without exception, the most tasty and inviting display of goods in the city. He has now rented a store equal in capacity to any other in the city, and

excelled by none for the comfort and convenience which it affords to customers. We

took occasion, a few days since, to look in upon him, and to sea how he flourished in his new quarters. We found an excellent assort-

ment of rich goods, In all the varieties of style, finish and expense, and saw, to our satisfaction, that onr ladies were bestowing a very liberal patronage, In reward for his enterprise and endeavors to meet their wishes. So we hope it may ever, bo. The only method for securing an obedience to public wishes and desires, is to favor those who strive to meet them. Mr. Truell's success is bat tbe legitimate result of enterprise and ability.—Lau-

AQIUCULTTJBAJJ COLLSQEB.

A very intelligent correspondent, whose name we are not at liberty at present to give, writes as follows:

" I am not, as you know, in favor of Agricultural Colleges. They are not adapted to American customs, and tbe great body of farmers cannot be directly benefited bv them. I wish to see the farmers of my country educated generally ; to see them animated by a spirit of investigation ; to see them giving their leisure to reading and conversation on agriculture ; and thus prepare themselves to make advance for their own account and to accept the truths of science and experience as they may be presented from time to time."

The manual labor system, as we have often said, is the only one which could Bland any chance of success—and the objections to this are so numerous that our genteelest farmers would not advocate it.

So much depends on actual trial in the field—on practice and detail—that a Professor must spend much of his time in the field, or his students, who were bred on a farm, would run ahead of him at every corner. The boy of fourteen would be able to answer more questions than the member of forty.

Some general principles may be taught to classes in schools. Some scientific problems may be explained.— Chemistry as applied to farming may be studied in school rooms, on rainy days—but no Professor could hope to keep his young farmers on their seats in good summer weather.

He might teach them from a book, how many parts the manure in the cow- yard consisted of. He would give them a dozen hard names, not in common use, to store up in memory. He wonld tell them to be particular and not let the Ammonia fly off and be lost—for though this comes from the atmosphere and lodges on the manure heap, it must not have free action, lest it should fly away to some distant field or region and be lost. He therefore directs to keep the manure buried up deep both in the barn-yard and field, lest it would not find its way to the roots of the plants.

And now he asks a few practical questions on this all-important subject, " the application of manures," and the first boy tells him that his father does not care to bury up all his manure in a cornfield—that he does not think manure runs away in the mist that is called Ammonia, but that it gathers more ammonia from the air than it loses. And he atataa tha fevot that hie father has grown much the best corn where the manure was most slightly buried by means of a common harrow.

Now, the teacher must stop and give up the long cherished idea in regard to the flights of ammonia from a cornfield or he must give up the boy to the old farmer. The books and the experience of the best farmers do not agree; and who is to decide ? Shall the ammonia be measured like tbe corn, or shall farmers here be led en step by step as the farmers 'of England were by the great chemist, Liebig, without regard to actual facts.

Now, if the study of chemistry fails to give much light to the practical

driving oxen, horses, and mules ? planting and harvesting the main crops ? till- ing in its varied forms ? husking corn by band, where each ear, from balf a dozen acres, must be picked up singly and stripped of its husks. One hundred ears to a basket, and six hundred baskets make sixty thousand ears to be handled singly. Who is to teach this art?

Boys most be taught, but they in- cline up to the best husker. He can show them how to perform this important operation though he has bad no more education than our free common schools have furnished.

So in regard to the milking of cows and rearing young stock—how much can be acquired within the walls of a school or college to aid the boy in his progress from childhood.

Indeed nearly all that is of any value in farming is learned in the field, and must be taught by men who have been long conversant with the business.

THE PEACH TBEB.

This tree is a native of Persia, and has been cultivated in Asia and in the south from time immemorial. Linneus divides tbe peach into two varieties, the "true peach" and the nectarine—the one separates freely from the stone, the other does not, and is generally designated as the clingstone. There are several varieties of these two divisions, some have smooth and some rough skins ; and there are instances on record of peaches and nectarines occurring on the same branch. It was introduced by the earliest colonists, and found well adapted for our soil and climate. A change, however, has come over the peach during the last twenty years; it does not seem to be so hardy nor so long lived as formerly; it is subject to unfavorable atmospheric influences, and also to the attacks of insects, which soon diminish its productive power and shorten its days. The cause of this is not well understood, and a preventive for its rapid decay has not yet been discovered. During the past two years the peach crop has been an entire fail- ure both in quantity and quality, and large peach orchards in various sections of our country, once yielding good and abundant crops, are now blasted and barren. A discovery which would re- store this luscious fruit-bearer to its former vigor and fruitfulness would be of incalculable importance. At this season of year, entering upon spring, we urge our horticulturists to give this subject that attention which it deserves,

As peach trees blossom early in the season, they are subject to injury from late frosts; this was the case in many districts in 1858. Dwarf trees may be protected from such frosts by netting laid over them, but it would be too expensive thus to cover large trees. The small green-fly and mildew often attack peach trees, and very few persons ever try to remedy this evil, although tobacco and sulphur water is a perfect cure. Take a pound of tobacco, and pour five gallons of water upon it, pour off the clear, and stir in two pounds of sulphur. When cool, apply it to the trees with a syringe or a garden-engine in the evening, then shower the trees next morning with soft water. Such applications may be required twice a week for three weeks before the cure is fully effected, but by perseverance the desired result will be secured. Most farmers seem to act upon the principle that if their fruit trees do not take care of themselves, they may die if they choose. This is not the feeling, for cultivated peach trees, at least. Some strenuous efforts should be made to re- store this tree to the condition and character which it once possessed.

SHsttllanwusS Seltttimis. "Ton flatter me," said a thin exquis-

ite, the other day, to a young lady who was praising the beauties of his mous- tache. "For heaven's sake, ma'am," interposed an old skipper, " don't make that monkey any flatter than he is now I"

What difference is there between a prince and a peasant ? No more than between two bricks made of the same clay; only one is placed upon a turret, and the other at the bottom of a well.

Silenee is aa antidote against a slan- derous tongue.

" To let the new life in, we know Desire mqtt ape the portal;

Perhaps the longing to oe so Helps make the son} immortal.

Longing Is God's fresh heavenward will With our poor earthward striving;

We quench it that we may bo still Content with merely living.—Lowell.

" When the Spring comes," said a little girl, "I mean to gather flowers ;—

O, (iater 1 won't we have nice times Out in the leafy bowers »

" We'll hop and skip, and take sweet walks; Dear mother, tell me, when

Will Spring be here t—I do so long To gather flowers again."

The happy creature danced end sung,— The little sonl within

Was thirsting for a future lift, Jnstas wca# begin.

" When Spring comes," said a bounding yonth,

"I'll have a bat and ball; I'll make my kite fly out of sight,—

Heigh ho 1 won't that be tall 1"

The spirit of the growing man, Was germing in that boy;

The paper kite's far flight outran The ardent dreamer's joy.

" When Spring comes," said a drooping frame,

" I think I shall revive ; Better I felt when last it came,

And I am still alive.

"The birds'glad notes will gently cheer This fainting heart of mine,—

Oh, yes 1 when Spring is only here, I shall no longer pine."

" When Spring comes," said a stalwart man, " I think that I shall bnild;

I've hit on a superior plan I'd like to see fulfilled.

" Life now to me is in its prime— I've many days to see;

I'll rear, then, what will outlive Time— Build for eternity I"

The yearning sonl, the large desire, Thus sought relief in hope,—

'Twas but the escape of inaardfire, That burns and must have scope.

So, when the immortal Spring bursts forth— The Resurrection Morn,—

Hopes pent within us while on earth, Will to new life be born.

The patient trust, tlio hidden love, WjU meet fruition there.

In that perfected stnto above, Time fitted us to share.

= mission is still unfulfilled. You are there ; you have an immortal soul to fit for heaven or to doom to a world of misery ; you are to choose the path of duty, or that of worldly pleasure; each Sabbath finds you progressing in the one way or the other, for u none can stand still."

Think of this, ye who gather in the Sunday School. It is a solemn place; fitting for eternity—life or death must be the issue. Oh, that you might realize the truth 1 As you thus enter your class, ask yourself, What am I here for f Remember for this hour you must render an account; for this privilege you will smg moist -loudly and sweetly in heaven, or wail more bitterly in the depths of despair.

Your responsibility equals, methinks, that of the teacher. He must answer for the manner in which he dealt with his class; you for the improvement or neglect of the privilege. Little children, you are responsible. If you choose to spend the session in idle talk or amusement, rather than giving heed to the warning voice of your teacher—yielding your heart to the blessed Saviour—how will you feel when denied the Sabbath privilege, anoVwliat excuse will you give when asked, why did you neglect it?

" You are not too young to die !"— Are you too young to love the Saviour ? Infant lips have breathed His name; childish hands been clasped in prayer! Many a sermon has come forth from a young heart that has been the means of leading old and hardened sinners to the child's Saviour. The little one has often accomplished more in its short life than he who has spent long years upon this earth. The mission completed, the casket is put in the ground, while the gem sparkles in the diadem that wreaths the Saviour's brow.

When called to witness the departure of such a spirit, while we know " He doeth all things well •" that the Paradise above will be more beautiful, because of the transplanting of this bud, we cannot refrain from wishing our world could retain the little preacher, that many through its instrumentality might" wear a crown of glory" in the upper world. Sunday School scholar, however few your years thus far have been, you have a work to do!—be faithful, B. V. A.

THE SABBATH SCHOOL SCHOLAE.

The privilege of such an one, whether older or younger, is precious—4he responsibility great. We sometimes feel the entire duty devolves upon the teacher, but this is not so. The scholar has his duty to perform as well sis the teacher, and both are responsible to God for the manner in which it is performed. The teacher imparts, while the scholar receives, instruction; the one may guile,.the other follow.

What, then, Sabbath School scholar, is your object in remaining during this session? Have you any? I believe all have; whether it be a good one or not, each must settle in his or her mind. Allowing it is what it should be—a desire to improve the privileges God 1ms given you, that you may learn the path of duty and walk therein—if you fail of these, your mission is very fur from being fulfilled.

If the object be to " pass away time" —enjoy the society of friends—we do ourselves a great injury, and when summoned to answer for the use of of these blessings so freely given us, we shall be speechless. How important, then, that each one bearing the above title, should understand the relation he thus sustains to God, and realize the greatness of the responsibility resting upon him. Those who are numbered in our Bible classes, we trust have duly considered and settled the question, What do we here ?

The younger pupils may not have given any thought to this subject, and to such comes the question, Have we an object in coming to the Sunday School, and what is it? Each Sabbath, it may be, finds you in your accustomed seat; your lesson well prepared; answers promptly given. You may also have clear ideas upon the various topics introduced ; may take an active part in all the exercises of the hour; but does this prove you truly appreciate and improve the privileges thus given you ?— No! far from it. Such a pupil adds greatly to the interest of the class, and makes glad the teacher's heart; yet the

THE WAT TO MAKE A P00B PASTOB.

1. Be very careless and irregular in attending church. Never go, except when you cannot manufacture a good excuse to stay at home.

2. When at church, be either asleep or staring about. Do not listen to the sermon.

3. When you go home, complain of the sermon as light and chaffy, or dry and uninteresting.

4. Treat your pastor with a cold and uninviting civility, and then complain of him because he does not visit you.

5. Neglect to pray for a blessing upon him and his labors, and then complain of him because the church does not prosper.

<i. Be always finding fault with your pastor, and yet regret that he is not more popular with the people.

7. Be very Lukewarm and worldly- minded, and yet complain of him for want of eeaL

THE YOUNG KAN'S "I CANNOT."

You cannot ? yes you can, sir; everybody can, and you among the rest.— That's a fine way to talk at this time of day. You are young, your limbs are strong, your energies are nil laying fresh in the chambers of your nature, like {lie stores of a ship just launched for the voyage of life; all the world is before you; there is little of it behind you; and that you have skipped and played roll-hoop over. Yes, young man, you tan, so never let that declaration •(' cowardice and weakness, "*l&cannot," pass your lips again. I do not qualify the infinitive of the verb active that describes your capacity. You can do anything that has been done, may be done, or should be done, either in the world of physics, morals, or metaphys- ics. You can rivet a bolt, tear up a furrow, overturn an empire of false- hood, or produce a new idea. God grants you amongst the abundance of His benificent possibilities one of those humanizing faculties; and you can if you will, make your one faculty, however apparently humble, a blessing to

f and to I yourself humanity.

No man can tell whether he is rich or poor, by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich or poor, according to what he is, not according to what be has.

A WEDMNO PABTT.

[From the Life of .George Stephen- son, Railway Engineer, in press by Ticknor and Fields.]

George Stephenson was now a young man of twenty yean of age—a well- knit, healthy fellow,—a sober, steady and expert workman. , Beyond this, and his diligence ana perseverance, and the occasional odd turns his curiosity now and then took, there was nothing remarkable about him. He was no precocious genius. And yet he was comparatively untaught, and had but mastered the mere beginnings of knowledge. But his observing faculties we active, and he diligently turned to pi itable account every opportunity of exercising them. He bad still only the lastes and ambitions of an ordinary workman, and perhaps looked not beyond that condition.

The monotony of George Stephen- son's occupation as a brakesman was somewhat varied by the change which he made, in his turn, from the day to the night shift This duty, during the latter stage, chiefly consisted in sending the men and material into the mine, and in drawing other men and materials out. Most of the workmen enter the pit during the night shift, and leave it in the latter part of the day, whilst coal-drawing is proceeding. The requirements of the work at night are such that the brakesman has a good deal of spare time on his hands, which he is at liberty to employ in his own way. From an early period Stephenson was accustomed to employ those vacant night hours in working the sums set for him by Andrew Robertson upon his slate, in practising writing in his copy-book, and also in mending the shoes of his fellow workmen. His wages while working at the Dolly Pit amounted to from one pound fifteen shillings to two pounds in the fortnight; out he gradually added to them as he became more expert at shoe-mending and afterwards at shoe-making. Probably he was stimulated to take in hand this extra work by the attachment which be had at this time formed for a respectable young woman of the village named Fanny Henderson. Fanny was a servant in a neighboring farm house; and George, having -found her a high prin- cipled young woman of excellent character, courted her with the intention of making her his wife and setting up a house of his own. The personal attractions of Fanny Henderson, though these were considerable, were the least of her charms. Her temper was of the sweetest ; and those who knew her speak of the charming modesty of her demeanor, her kindness of disposition, and withal her sound good sense.

Amongst his various mendings of old shoes at Callerton, George Stephenson was on one occasion favored with the shoes of his sweetheart, Fanny Hen- derson, to sole. One can imagine the pleasure with which he would Linger over such a piece of work, and the pride with which he would execute it. A friend of his, still living, relates that after he had finished the shoes, he carried them about with.him in his pocket on the Sunday afternoon, and that from time to time he would whip them out and hold them up to sight,—the tiny little shoes that they were,—exhibiting them with exultation to his friend, and exclaiming, " what a capital job he had made of them!" Other lovers have carried about with them a lock of their fair one's hair, a glove or handkerchief; but none have been prouder of their cherished love token than was George Stephenson of his Fanny's shoes, which he had just soled, and of which he had made such a " capital job."

Out of his earnings from shoe mending at Callerton, George contrived to save his-rirst guinea. The first giunea saved by a working man is no trivia) thing. If, as in Siephenson's case, it has been the result of prudent self-denial, of extra labor at by-hours, and of sound resolutions to save and economize for worthy purposes, the first guinea saved is an earnest of better things.— It is a nest egg—a token of increase— the beginning, it may be, of prosperity and wealth. When Stephenson had saved this' guinea, he was somewhat proud of the achievement, and expressed the opinion to a friend, who many years after reminded him of it, that he was " now a rich man."

By dint of thrift, sobriety and industry, George Stephenson managed to save as much money at Black Callerton as enabled him on leaving it for Wil- lington Ballast Quay, to take a house and furnish in very bumble style, for the reception of his young bride, Fanny Henderson.

The cottage in which he took up his abode is a small two-storied dwelling, standing a little back from the quay, with a bit of garden ground in front. The Stephenson family occupied the upper room in the west end of the cottage. Close behind rises the ballast hill.

When the cottage dwelling had been

nude snug, and prepared for the young wife's reception, the marriage took place. It was celebrated in Newburn <5hurch, on the 28th of November, 1802.

George Stephenson's signiture, as it stands in the books, is that of a person who seems to have just learnt to write. Yet it is the signature of a man, written slowly and deliberately, in strong round hand. With all fiis care, however, he had not been able to avoid a blotch; the word "Stephenson" has been brushed over before the ink was dry.

After the ceremony, George and Iris • newly wedded wife proceeded to the

e of Old Robert Stephenson and his wife Mabel, at Jolly's close. The old man was now becoming infirm, though he still worked as an engine fireman, and contrived with difficulty to " keep his head above water." When the visit had been paid, the bridal party prepared, to set out for their new home at Willington Quay. They went in a homely old-fashioned style, though one quite usual in those days, before macad- amized roods had been adopted, or travelling by railway so much as dreamt of. Two stout farm horses were borrowed from Mr. Burn, of the Red House farm, Wolsinghnm, where Anne Hen- derson, the brother's sister, lived as servant. The two horses were each provided with a saddle and a pillion ; and George having mounted one, his wife seated herself on the pillion behind him, holding on by her arms round his waist. Robert Gray and Anne Hen- derson in like manner mounted the other horse; and in this wise the wedding party rode across the oountry, passing through the ancient streets of New- castle, and then by Wallsend to their home at Willington Quay—a long ride of about fifteen miles.

ECHOES.

A good ear cannot distinguish one sound from another, nnless there is an interval of one ninth of a second between the arrival of the two sounds.— Sounds must, therefore, succeed each other at an interval of one ninth of a second, in order to be heard distinctly. Now, the velocity of sound being eleven hundred and twenty feet a second, in one ninth of a second the sound would travel one hundred and twenty-four feet.

Repeated echoes happen when two obstacles are placed opposite to one another, as parallel walls, for example, which reflect the sound successively.

At Ademach, in Bohemia, there is an echo which repeats seven syllables three times ; at Woodstock, in England, there is one which repeats a sound seventeen times during the day, and twenty times during the night. An echo in the villa Smionetta, near Milan, is said to repeat a sharp sound thirty times audibly. The most celebrated echo among the an- cients, was that of the Metelli, at Rome, which, according to tradition, was capable of repeating the first line of ./Eneid, containing fifteen syllables, eight times distinctly.

Dr. Birch describes an echo at Rose- neath, Argyllshire, which, it is said, does not now exist. When eight or ten notes were played upon a trumpet, they were returned by this echo upon a key a third lower than the original notes, and shortly after upon a key still lower. Dr. Page describes an echo in Fairfax county, Virginia, which possesses a similar curious property. This echo gives three distinct reflections, the second echo much the most distinct. Twenty notes played upon a flute were returned with perfect clearness. But the most singular property of this echo is, that some notes in the scale are not returned in their places, but are supplied with notes which are either thirds, fifths, or octaves.

There is a surprising echo between two barns at Belvidere, Allegheny county, N. Y. The echo repeats eleven times a word of one, two or three syllables ; it has been heard to repeat thirteen times. By placing one's self in the centre, between the two barns, there will be a double echo, one in the direction of echo barn, and a monosyllable will be repeated twenty-two times.

A striking and beautiful effect of echo is produced in certain localities by the Swiss mountaineers, who contrive to sing their Bans des Vaches in such time that the reflected notes form an agreeable accompaniment to the air itself.— Prof.SiUiman.

. r. CT.EHIOAL CCTBIOSITIBS.

Dr. John Blair Smith, President of Union College, was an eloquent extem- poraneous preacher. His custom was to hold a small Bible in his hand, in which was fitted a bit of paper, which he would' bring to his eyes at each new turn of his discourse. One day, in a<- animated burst of feeling, his thumo, which held down the paper to its place, let go its charge, and the fugitive " notes" sailed away on the breeze into the broad aisle. The Doctor very quietly tore off a small pieee of newspaper which he had in his pocket, put it under his thumb aforesaid, and then went on with his sermon as usual, lifting his " notes" to his eye as before, to help his mental motion, much to the amusement of some of the spectators.

Dr. James Mulr, of the District of Columbia, wrote all his sermons, and recited them memoriter. But unless the manuscript was in his pocket he could not go on at all, though he never used it. One day, having left it at home, he was obliged to send for it before he could begin the recitation. He was buried, at bis own request, in a grave thirteen feet under the pulpit.

In writing sermons, Dr. Muir was in the habit of folding the requisite amount of paper, and then scattering catch-words along the pages; after which he would proceed to fill up the intervals with the thoughts which he had already carefully gtudied in his own mind.

Dr. David Potter was a great oddity. A Napoleon head, joined by a short neck upon a very portly body, which stood upon a pair of remarkably spindle legs, cased in small clothes and silk hose, it was the striking figure of as uncommon a mind. When fairly under way in the pulpit, bis short, terse sen- tences, jerked out with a nod of the head and a stamp of the foot, or the rap of his eane, which he sometimes did not lay aside even in preaching, told like the hitting of bullets. In the lecture-room he would not only traverse the platform, but at times descend to the floor, step over a bench to some open space, walk there awhile, step over another bench, and get back to the desk from the opposite side, and all the while carrying on his address without a break.

Dr. Porter was very absent-minded. Praying with his eyes open, as was his habit, at a *'neighboring meeting," he chanced to see a friend just arrived in the company, when, to the surprise of everybody, he crossed the room and extended bis hand, exclaiming, " Oh! how d'do ?"—not seeming aware at all of the eccentric movement—-Sprague's Annals. t I ■!

NEWTON'S GAHDEN AT WO0LSTH0EPE.

The celebrated apple-tree, the fall of one of the apples of which is said to have turned the attention of Newton to the subject • of gravitation, was so decayed that it was taken down by Mr. Tumor in 1820, and the wood of it carefully preserved; and of the two dials which he carved on the walls of the house, the one that was the most eligible was removed in 1844, on the stone on which it was cut, and presented by the Rev. C. Tumor to the Museum of the Royal Society. The dial was traced on a large stone in the south wall at the angle of the building, and rather less than six feet from the ground. The name of " Newton," with the exception of the first two letters, which have been obliterated, may be seen under the dial in rude capital letters. It is framed in glass for preservation, having been presented in that state by Mr. Turnor. The other dial may still be seen in its original position. Sir Isaac carved the dial when be was probably about fourteen years of age.

FOBCB OB* IMAGINATION.

Buckland, the distinguished geologist, one day gave a dinner after dissecting a Mississippi Alligator, having asked a good many of the most distinguished of his classes to dine with him. His house and all his establishment were in ,iOod style and taste. His guests congre- gated. The dinner table looked splendid, with glass, china and-plate, and the meal commenced with excellent soup.— " How do you like the soup ?" asked the doctor, after having finished his own plate, addressing one of the most famous gourmands of the day. " Very good, indeed!" answered the other; " turtle; is it not? I only ask because I do not find any green fat" The doctor shook his head. "I think it has something of a musky taste," said another—not unpleasant, but peculiar!"— " All aligntors have," replied Buckland, " the cayman peculiarly so—the fellow whom I dissected this morning, and whom you have just been eating 1"

There was a general route of the whole guests. Every one turned pale. Half a dozen started up from the table. Two or three ran out of the room, and only those who had stout stomachs remained to the close of an excellent en- tertainment.

" See what imagination is," said Buck- land ; if I had told them it was turtle, or terrapin, or birdsnest soup, salt water amphibia or fresh, or the gluten of a fish from the maw of a seabird, they would have pronounced it excellent, and their digestion been none the worse— such «s prejudice 1" " But was it really an alligator ?" asked a lady. " As good calf's head as ever wore a coronet," answered Buckland.

NOBLE SENTIMENTS.—Condemn no man for not thinking as you think.— Let every one enjoy the full and free liberty of thinking for himself. Let every man use his own judgment, since every man must give an account of himself to God. Abhor every approach, in any kind of degree, to the spirit of persecution. If you cannot reason or persuade a man into the truth, never attempt to force him into it. If love will not compel him, leave him to God, the Jndge of all.—John Wesley.

FLOWERS.—How the universal heart of man blesses flowers! They are wreathed round the cradle, the marriage altar and the tomb. The Cupid of (he ancient Hindoos tipped his arrows with flowers, and orange-flowers are a bridal crowh with us—a nation of yesterday. Flowers garlanded the Grecian altar, and bang in votive wreaths before the Christian shrine.—-Mrs. Child.

Addison has left on record the following important sentence: "Two persons who have chosen each other out of all their species, with the design to be each other's mutual comfort and entertain- ment, have in that very action bound themselves to be good humored, affable, joyful, forgiving and patient, with respect to each other's frailties and imper- fections, to the end of their lives."

i — i ■

OUDKR.—I distrust both the Intellect and the morality of those people to whom disorder is of no consequence- can live at ease in an Augean stable.— What surrounds us, reflects more or less that which is within us. If our tastes did not reveal our character, they would be no longer tastes but instincts.

GETTING OUT QF A SCRAPE.

The following by a contemporary strikingly illustrates the cool nonchal- ance and ingenuity with which a Yankee who has got into a "tight place" will try to wriggle himself out. It is now and then the case that a live Yankee is actually "trapped by another man; but then it is only by—a Yankee:

Two Yankees were strolling in the woods, without any anas in their possession, and observing a bear ascending a tree, with its large paws clasped round the trunk, one of them ran forward and caught the bear's paws, one in each hand. He instantly called out to his comrade:

" Jonathan, I say, go home and bring me something as fast as you can, till I kill the varmint. Mind, don't stay, for I'm in a fix."

Jonathan ran off as fast as he could, but was an exceedingly long time returning. During the interval the bear made several attempts to bite the hand of him who held him. At length Jona- than came back.

" Halloo, Jonathan, what the deuce has kept you ?"

Jonathan replied, " Well, I'll fell you —when I was at home breakfast was about ready, and I guessed it would be as well to wait for it"

" Here, now, Jonathan," said bis com- panion, " come you and hold it, and I'll kill the critter in a jiffy."

Jonathan seized the bear's paws, and held the animal while the other could kill it.

" Well, Jonathan, have you got hold of him?"

" I guess I have," lie replied. " Very well, bold him fast; I guess

I'll go to dinner." . <i m<

AN EXTXA PASSINOKB.—An amusing scene took place on the steamer Baltimore, just as she was leaving for Cleveland. A rough-looking genius came aboard with a powerful bull-dog at his heels. Walking directly into the office, the individual said to the clerk:

" Stranger, I want to leave my dog in this here office till the boat starts; I'm afraid somebody will steal him."

" You can't do it," said the clerk; " take him out"

" Well, stranger, that's crnel; but you're both dispositioned alike, and he's kind'r company for you."

" Take him out," roared the clerk. " Well, stranger, I don't think you're

honest, and you want watching. Here, Bull, sit down there and watch that fellow, sharp;" and the individual turned on his heel, saying, "Put him out, stranger, if lie's troublesome."

The dog lay there when the boat started, the clerk giving him the better hah* of his office.—OAto Eagle.

An amusing and painful incident recently took place at Cincinnati. Two men afflicted with St Vitas' dance met, and- each supposing the other to be mocking him, a fight ensued of the most desperate character. Finally a mutual acquaintance found these struggling in the gutter,, and succeeded in separating them, making known their mutual mistake, when they shook bands, apologized to each ether, and became riends.

TUB PUNCHARD SCHOOL.—Mann. Ed- itor* :—I am sure you would not willingly, through the columns of your pleasant little sheet, suffer an impression to go abroad in the community unfavorable to the intentions or ability of a body of men who give Irecly and without compensation of their time and strength for the interests of education, in the place of their residence, unless there was clear and unmistakable evidence that such an impression was justified by facts, and was capable of producing the desired result, viz., to make the Funchard School satisfactory to the " many men of many minds" who have as yet done nothing to promote its interests, but find fault with its management.

Your correspondent, "E. 8.," inquires whether the School has been made " accept- able" to all for whom it was designed. To this I reply that it was designed to become such an institution as should bo " free" of charge to such pupils in the Andover* as should be qualified to pursue studies in advance of what are attended to in the Dis- trict Schools. To be properly estimated they should of course be examined in the " common" or elemental branches.

.Now, have not snch examinations been held, and that, too, in such a manner as to be totally free from favoritism V To my certain knowledge they have been thus conducted ; and not only so, but such a liberal allowance for deficiencies has been made as to admit a large proportion of pupils \ery imperfectly prepared—some of whom have been compelled to leave, through inability to go on vith the required studies. Not an individual has been rejected who could pass such examination in geography, grammar and arithmetic, as would afford a reasonable expectation of successful prosecution of the studies which were to follow. Without such a standard of qualification, the school could not have been accepted by the Legislature a* a substitute for the High School required by law.

Now, for the charge of " dictation" on the part of the Trustees. This is not a new charge, but for the last year or two has been freely discussed in various private circles, and the clerical gentlemen to whom the Board committed the charge of the Educa- tional Department have been freely abused and censured, without ever having received from the town whom they have generously served one farthing of emolument, or even a triennial vote of thanks 1 But to the charge of " dictation." How many of the four Superintendents have complained ?— The saintly youth whom death removed before the time had arrived for him to enter upon his duties, did not complain. The first principal — he who opened the school— never made such a charge. He expressed himself at all times perfectly satisfied, and happy in his relations to the Trustees; and under his able administration and his accurate and successful teaching, the School did all it could have been expected to do in its incipient stages. The Trustees, in common with all who knew him, deeply regretted his removal. He has since expressed a regret that, for domestic reasons, he could not again become connected with the School— having, he said, been as pleasantly situated in his relations to it as at any former period of his life. Does this look as though his " freedom" had been " unduly controlled ?" as though he were exposed to " outside dictation and over-ruling," and to being regarded by his pupils as a mere "automaton," a " bondman," or a " man of straw ?" Such, we have no reason to believe, Mr. Belden was conaidered ; such was the " estimation" in which his successor was held by "his pupils," if we may judge by the tokens of regard with which both these gentlemen were honored at their departure. The present able and accomplished Principal has never complained of interference on the part of the Trustees. He ha* expressed himself more than satisfied with the indepen- dence of his position.

It is not to be expected that the early stages of an enterprise like the Punchard School should exhibit its perfect development. There is much to contend with. An exceedingly low standard of literary attainment in the common schools must operate for years to its disadvantage; and the pro- pensity in men to value little what costs them nothing, is no small clog to the wheels of its progress.

Your correspondent, " E. S.," does not question the " purity" of the " intentions'' of the " managers" of the Punchard School. What, then, does be consider the obstacle to its more rapid advancement ? He inti- mates a want of skill on the part of the Trustees. Surely they are not to be blamed for this. If, although men of average ability, good education, large experience in teaching, and familiar by yean of scholarly habits and professional culture with the pro- cesses of intellectual training, if With such advantages they still remain inadequate to the performance of duties assigned to them by virtue of their office a* the pastors of the churches specified in Mr. Punchard's will— duties whichunless performed by them must devolve on those whose avocations would not permit them to discharge the duties at all—surely the Trustees so bound by laws they cannot control, and considerations of duty they cannot disregard, bound thus to a position which constitutes them a perpetual target for the arrows of public censure, should be pitied and commiserated rather

than blamed and misrepresented. If they are conscientious men, who are endeavoring to discharge their duty to tho best of their ability, they should be encouraged and aided in their efforts, rather than undermined and crippled by the fault-finding of citizens who owe them much and pay them nothing for their (elf-sacrificing and arduous labor*.

With many kind wishes for the usefulness and prosperity of your journal, I am, with much respect,

. FINE READY MADE AND CUSTOM

CLOTHING,*—We desire to say a few words in commendation of the excellent clothing house of our friends J. W. Smith & Co., Dock Square, corner of Elm Street, Bos- ton. It is generally supposed that Ready- made Clothing is of inferior materials, trimmings and workmanship, to that of custom-made, or clothing made to order.— But what we want to impress upon the minds of our readers now is, that the ready- made clothing of J. W. Smith & Co., is in every respect equal to the best that can be made. This is a distinctive feature of their establishment, and the principle on which it is conducted. A poor garment cannot be found in their whole stock. They have adopted this new system in the manufacture of ready-made garments, and it is beginning to be understood and appreciated by the public. Their immense stock contains every conceivable style and pattern of the most desirable fabrics, particularly adapted to the spring and summer trade. No taste however fastidious, can fail of being satisfied with the garments made under the su- perintendence of Mr. Smith. His unusual facilities for buying,—bis long experience and well-know skill as a master of his business, are a guaranty that in point of style, material, finish and economy, his custom and ready-made clothing cannot be surpassed anywhere in the country. Mr. Smith is a man of enterprise and integrity, and the secret of his success is, that be per- forms all he promises, and never allows a customer to go away dissatisfied. See their advertisement in another column, and don't fail to visit their store when you go to Boston.

Cormptktttt. GROVELAND, April 11,1859.

Messrs. Editors: — The singing school nnder the instruction of Mr. Levcrett Hop- kinson, gave a concert in the Congrega- tional Church on Thursday evening the 7th inst This school numbers some fifty scholar*. The church waa well filled, about three hundred person* being present, many of whom came from the towns adjoining.— The singing was considered excellent by those who are called judges—especially have we heard Mrs. Bailey of West New- bury, and Miss Cornelia Hardy of this town, commended for the part they took in the exercises. The proceeds of the concert were given to Mr. Hopkinson, who proposes to continue his school twelve more ovenings.

Mr. G. A. Cobban, of this town, while returning from the concert to bis boarding place, was brutally assaulted by a gang of rowdies. Mr. C. secured the names of three who were implicated in the affair, and had them brought before Justice Jones, of Georgetown, the next day, who fined two of them about ten dollars. The other young man, named Sawyer, formerly of Methuen, was sent to the House of Correc- tion at Lawrence, where he will probably have sufficient time to reflect upon his con-

duct. We understand that others begin to " shake in (heir shoes," and the report is that about fifteen are to be prosecuted for different crimes against the laws of the Commonwealth. WILL.

TEWKSBURY.—At the April town meeting the town voted tho following appropriations:— For town expenses, $1600; for schools, $ 1000; for roads and bridges, $800. Three hundred dollars of the sum for town expenses was specially appropriated to enclose the old burying ground in the centre of the town, and to purchase land and enclose the same for a new one. With this sum, in addition to a like sum already raised by individuals, it is thought a very neat and appropriate cemetery may be provided. B.

(grneral |Utos Itatim ESSEX COUNTY TEACHERS' ASSOCIA-

TION.—We spoke of this Association, last week, as the oldest of its kind in the Com- monwealth, if not upon the continent.— One of the founders of the Association sug- gests to us, " if not in the world." A list of these founders, who took the initiative steps in a work of such importance to the cause of education, in Master Dodge's calligraphy, lay upon a table on the platform, at the recent meeting in Andover. We are happy to see that the Association, in its now venerable age, is giving no signs of approaching decrepitude. The meeting held on Friday and Saturday of last week is believed to have been more numerously attended than any previous meeting. The Treasurer gave out no less than four hundred return tickets for the free passage of members over the railroads, lo obtain the full attendance we must add to this number that of the teachers from the vicinity who jieeded no such tickets. The interest and value of the exercises corresponded to the fulness of attendance. They had one excellent feature, that of being more than usually practical in their character. " The meeting was called to order by the President, Mr. Tddd of Newburyport, at half past ten o'clock on Friday morning.— Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Oliphant of Andover. Mr. Crosby of Salem, the delegate to the last meeting of the Middle- sex County Teacher*' Association, then made his report, and proposed the appoint- ment of a delegate to the meeting of this Association then in session at Newton Cor- ner. Mr. Valentine of Salem, was subsequently chosen delegate. At 11 o'clock, Mr. Eaton of Andover, read an excellent Paper on the Mode of teaching Arithmetic, speaking of arithmetic as a means of mental culture, of the proper use of terms and nu- merical expressions, of the use and abuse of rules, of the essential identity of proportion and analysis, of the importance of diminish- ing, as much as possible, the mechanical labor of computation, etc., and happily illus- trating his points by examples on the black- board.

In the afternoon, Rev. Mr. Northrop of Saxonville, delivered a lecture, rich in thought and illustration, npon the Bible as an Educator. He treated this priceless book as an educator of the conscience, of the affections, of the will, of the taste, of the imagination, etc. A valuable paper was then read by Mr. Batchelder of Salem, upon the Best Methods of teaching Children to Read. He presented in an interesting manner the philosophy of the infant mind, and deduced from this important practical rules for the teacher. He recommended that, instead of commencing with the names of the letters, the child should first be taught a few simple words, the names of familiar objects, and that then he should be taught directly the powers of the letters.

The lecture for the evening was an able discourse by Rev. Mr. McCollom of Brad- ford, upon the Uses and Proper Methods of Studying History. He exposed the wrong methods that are so prevalent in this study, and spoke especially upon the importance of teaching history, not as a series of un- connected facts, but as a great drama, every part bound to the rest by laws of cause and effect, and the whole sublimely moving onward to the accomplishment of the noblest results. The key to the proper study of history, is the full recognition of " God in History." After the exercises there was a very pleasant gathering at the IIQUSC of Dr. Taylor, the Principal of Phillips Academy, who also contributed very much, by his ex- planations, to the interest and instructive- ness of a visit which was paid, the next morning to the Chanel, Library, Cabinet and Museum of the Theological Seminary.

Saturday forenoon was chiefly devoted to the discussion of the subject of " School Examinations, and the Proper Methods of conducting them,"—Gen. Oliver of Law- rence taking the lead in the discussion, and, we need not say, in a very able, interesting, anecdotical and witty manner. Others who contributed to the interest of the meeting, by the part they took in the discussion of this and other subjects which were brought before the Association, were Father Green- leaf of Bradford, Messrs. Batchelder of Sa- lem, Eaton and Sanborn of Andover, Gro- ver and Walton of Lawrence, Reed of Newburyport, Walker of Boston, etc.

After resolution* of thank* to the lectur- er*, &c; to the people of Andover for the very hospitable reception which they had given to the Association; to the Trustees of the Punchard School for the use of their spacious and beautiful hall; to the railroads for free return tickets; to editors for their kind notices and reports of this and previous meeting*, the Association doted their session at noon, with singing Old Hundred. —Salem Gazette.

VACANCY IN THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. — We learn that the Board of Examiners have decided that it is inexpedient and unnecessary to issue war- rants for a new election to fill this vacancy. This conclusion has been reached, if we are rightly informed, from the fact that the remaining term of the resigned office is brief, and from the fact that, under a statute passed since the Revised Statutes, a special commissioner may be summoned to fill a vacancy caused by death or resignation, as well as in cases where one of the Standing Com- missioners is unable to attend from any temporary cause, or on account of interest in any question before tho Board.

Under the law, as contained in the Re- revised Statutes, it was not understood that a special commissioner could be called in to fill an actual vacancy in the office. But a statute of 1837 provides expressly for such an exigency, without repealing the law au- thorizing the filling of such vacancy by an election.—Salem Reg.

It is reported in Boston that Hon. E. Rock wood Hoar will be appointed Judge of the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy caused b) the resignation of Judge Thomas.

A Missouri legislator, who was opposed to a project for a new county, " came down" upon the locality after the following fashion, " The soil is so poor that it would not grow penny-royal. Sir, you might mow the country with a razor and rake it with a fine tooth comb, and you wouldn't get enough fodder to keep a sick grasshopper through the winter. Sir, they plant corn with crowbars, and hold the sheep by the hind legs while they nibble the grass in the cracks of the cliffs."

A clergyman was endeavoring to instruc- one of his Sunday scholars on the nature of a miracle. " Now, my boy," said he, " suppose you were to see the sun rising in the middle of the night, what should you call that?" "The moon, please, sir." "No; but," said the clergyman, "suppose you knew it was not the moon, but the sun, and that you saw it actually rise in the middle of the night, what should vou think ?"— " Please, sir, " I should think it was time to get up."

When persons are in pain, it is relief they want. When covered with wounds and putri- fying sores, a healing balm is needed. " Mr MOTHER'S SALVE" will relieve the pain. " My Mother's Salve" will heal the wounded. Try it. See advertisement.

The wide reputation which Dr. J. Hostet- ter's " Stomach Bitters" have attained during the put year, bespeaks its excellence in a more forcible manner than any words which w» can offer. It renovates, parities and strengthens the system, and aids the stomach in the performance of it* functions. It is regarded on all sides as a sovereign specific, and therefore, to procure it in the best possible way, should be the object of the public.— We commend it with more than usual seal and confidence, believing and knowing as we do that it stands foremost among the many preparations of the day, for imparting strength, vigor and tone to the system, and possessing the curative powers for all similar diseases arising from a disordered stomach. In the most severe cases of cramps, diarhcoa and weakness in the stomach, the " Bitters" have been rigidly tested, and always with the. greatest success.

TROELL'S.—We can all remember when I. W. Truell made up his mind that Lawrence would support an additional dry goods store

of the first quality. We can all remember, too, the quiet, neat and convenient store which he rented, and in which he made, without ex-

ception, the most tasty and inviting display of goods in the city. He baa now rented a store

equal in capacity to any other In the city, and excelled by none for the comfort and convenience which it affords to customers. We

took occasion, a few days since, to look in upon him, and to see how he flourished in his new quarters. We found an excellent assort-

ment of rich goods, in all the varieties of style, finish and expense, and saw, to our satisfaction, that our ladles were bestowing a very liberal patronage, in reward for his enterprise and endeavors to meet their wishes. So we hope it may ever bo. The only method for securing an obedience to public wishes and desires, is to favor those who strive to meet them. Mr. Truell's success is bnt the legitimate result of enterprise and ability.—Law-

rence Sentinel

I. W. TRCEI.L A Co.—It will be seen that this enterprising firm have taken the head of the column in the paper, and knowing their facilities for doing business, and their atten- tiveness to the wants of customers, we are sure

they will not be found in the rear of business operations. There is no need of advising any

one to call and examine ther goods, because

when persons have visited their store once

they are sure to "call again."—Lawrence Courier.

SPRING GOODS.—The season for new goods

is now at hand, and among those who ara=»n- ticipatiug the wants of the ladies, hy filling their shelves with fresh goods, none exercise better taste than the woll-establ ished firm of

that those who buy once at their store, are almost certain to call again.—Lawrence Amer-

ican.

MESSRS. I. W. TRUELL & Co., of Lawrence,

who have so long advertised their goods in our columns, have this Spring added materially to their stock, both in variety and extent. An

experience of about ten years at Lawrence enables them to anticipate the wants of their customers, and provide just those goods which

are known to suit. Their good taste and skill

in selecting goods; their uniform courtesy, industry and honorable dealing, merit the pat ronage of the community. We trust our citi-

CHINESE 8TJOAB CANE.

ITS PRODUCTION, MANUFACTURE, ETC,

At the suggestion of several of your agricultural readers, I improve a few leisure moments in communicating for your paper a few facts and hints rela- tive to the production, manufacture, etc., of the " Sorgho" or Chinese sugar cane. It has been cultivated only to a limited extent in any part of this State the past two seasons; and although both seasons have been too wet for the best growth, yet enough has been learned to satisfy our farmers that it is a reliable crop, and also that it improves by culture in our soil. The syrup is accepta- ble to all classes, where proper attention has been given to boiling.

This being now the season of the year when farmers generally discuss and plan out for the coming crops, this of necessity comes up before them, and the inquiry is, " shall we plant any Sorgho ?" I would say yes to every such enquiry, whether it be made into syrup or not. Two or three acres could be profitably disposed of as forage ; especially so if the season (which is very likely to be the case) prove to be a dry one. But if, when grown, it is convenient to prepare for working it up, then you have It for that purpose.

The time is near at hand when those at our small towns and inland cities, who have steam saw-mills, or other fac- tories with steam power, will attach to them a mill and coil pipe defecators and boilers, for working up the cane of the neighborhood. Suctf fixtures can be obtained for a few hundred dollars, which will turn out several hundred gallons of syrup per day. For those who desire to be more independent, fixtures are now furnished at so low a rate, that it is within the reach of every little district to have one, and soon become exporter* instead of importer! of sugars and syrups.

Great care should be taken in the selection of seed. That grown near broom corn is worse than useless.— Many have sold chocolate corn ; others dorah corn, etc.—some of the latter represented as Imphee or African seed; but no one need be imposed upon in that respect, as the Imphee seeds are all of about the same sine of Sorgho, and generally of a brown or reddish cast, and when on the turf or head, stand erect, and when chewed have no bitter or unpleasant taste. Some of the varieties have a bushy top, but mostly are clumped, as represented in the de- scriptive catalogue of Hedges, Free & Co., of Cincinnati. I have heard from several farmers who speak favorably of the Imphee. At all times I would use seed that was grown on thin land, and the sweeter cane. There is a surprising difference between different crops— some making only 7 degs. BaumePs Suchnrometer, and others as high as 14 degs., and even 18 degs. From the' latter there should be no difficulty in making sugar or syrup, as pure and fine as honey—only boil rapidly and in such boilers as will not endanger scorch- ing. It is in the boiling where all our friends fail. It matters not whether it is Sorgho juice, maple sap, or even dissolved loaf sugar, only boil it slow and long enough, and it will be surely ruined, dark, bitter, and utterly impossible to crystalue, although it may have been good sugar once. V

To those who would take a little pains, early cane can be produced by transplanting from the hot house.— High and dry land should be selected in all cases, and then ridged high and planted in the ridge, north and south.—Isaac A. Hedges, in Citizen and Gazette.

BOBBOWIBO TOOLB.

It is an old saying that he who goes borrowing, goes sorrowing;" and a still older one, " The borrower is servant to the lender." But so far as applies to farm tools, Yankee ingenuity seems to have reversed these sayings, for one of the greatest annoyances of some neigh- borhoods is the necessity for lending tools. " Won't you lend me your cart, to-day V u I want to borrow your crow- bar ?' " Can't you let us have your drag i" « Are you going to use your old mare to-day r" " Father wants to get your oxen." " I want half a dozen of your new bags," et&, and usually followed with long searches for lost bags, half days spent in getting carts and harrows repaired, etc - Why, father, Mr. Dumplin said he would pay for that cart, if you would get it mended." " He would, indeed, would he ? this would cost him about one fourth of my loss of time in going to him for it, and taking it to and returning it from the blacksmith's shop, to say nothing of three day's delay in getting my work done." u But, father, you know that's a good deal better than Mr. Sugarplum did when he borrowed your cultivator; for when he broke it, he swore at you behind your hack, for lending him such a ' rotten machine,' and wouldn't pay you a cent."

" John, where's the crow-bar ?" " I don't know, sir; I've hunted for it a good deal for two or three days."— " Have you looked in the barn f " Yes, I hunted all through the barn, and carriage-bouse, and the corn-house." — " Have you asked Jim ?" " Jim, have you seen the crow-bar, anywhere f

" Why, yes, I saw it at Squire Noo- dle's ; he borrowed it one day when you were gone away, to pry up a bar- post, and it's been sticking there ever since."

Every farmer should have a full set of implements and tools, and have a place for everything and everything in it* place. If he has not the means let him sell off a corner of his farm to procure them.—Ohio Cultivator. e aaaa. t —.

BEST NEW ENGLAND JONNT-CAKE. —Take one quart of buttermilk, one tea-cup of flour, two thirds of a tea-cup of molasses, a little salt, one teaspoonful of saJaratus, one egg; then stir in Indian meal, but be sure you do not put in too much. Leave it thin—so thin it will almost run. Bake in a tin, in any oven, and tolerably quick. If it is not first rate and light, it will be because you make it too thick with Indial meal. Some prefer it without the molasses.

ktlhtHtros Selections.

To PRESERVE APPLES.—Pare and core, and cut them in halves and quarters ; take as many pounds of the best brown sugar; put a teacup of water to each pound; when it is dissolved set it over the fire ; and when boiling hot, put in the fruit and let it boil gently until it is clear, and syrup thick; take the fruit with a skimmer on to flat dishes, spread it to cool, then put it in pots or jars, and pour the jelly over. Lemons boiled tender in water, and sliced thin, may be boiled with the apples.

During a rehearsal, Braham said to Tom Cooke, who was the conductor, "Now, Tom, keep quiet piano here, because just at this part, to give effect, I intend dropping my voioe." '•' Do you, by the powers," said Tom; "whereabouts ? for it's just the sort of voice I'd like to pick up I"

A pedestrian travelling in Ireland met a man, and asked him rather gruff- ly why the miles were so plaguy long, when the Hibernian replied," You see, yer honor, the roads are not in a good condition, so we give very good measure."

"So you would not take me to be twenty?" said a young lady to her partner while dancing the polka; " what would you take me for r" " For better, for worse," replied he.

"Ah, Michael I you know everything; tell me ones for all what they mean by community?" "Why, it is very simple; I will state a case. You have fifty francs, Paul and I have nothing; you must divide between us two. Paul takes twenty-five francs, and I take twenty-five francs." " But according to this, I have nothing left." " Exactly so, and then you join the community."

The Reverend Sidney Smith, in speaking of some sermons, said, " They are written as if sin were to be taken out of the man, like Eve out of Adam, by putting him to sleep."

" Did your fall hurt you ?" said one Paflander to another, who had fallen from the top of a two-story house.— " Not in the laste, honey; 'twas stopping so quick that hurt me."

The conversation at Holland House turning upon first love, Tom Moore compared it to a potato, " because it shoots from the eyes." "Or rather (exclaimed Byron) because it becomes all the less by pairing."

A young apprentice to the shoe-making business asked his master what answer he should give to the oft-repeated question, " Does your master warrant his shoes ?" " Answer, Thomas," said the master, "that I warrant them to prove good ; and, if they don't I'll make them good for nothing."

Poverty is a crime that sticks to a man through rife. It is a brand which, in the midst of riches even, some one is sure to find out and reproach him with.

When success makes a man better than he was before, he must be a good man indeed.

Laziness is a bad disease, and like many other kinds, is often self-imposed. To learn to work, and work, cheerfully, is the central lesson of life. Begin to learn it early—eschew laziness as die most disgusting of all faults, and one that will end in hopeless misery.

When a great man stoops, or trips, the small men around him suddenly become greater.

A Scotchman, who pot up at an inn, was asked in the morning how he slept "Troth, man," replied Donald, "nae very well, either, but I was muckle better off than the bugs, lor deil ane o' them elosed an eye the hale night."

Good order is bread—disorder, starv- ation.

Tasso replied to a proposition that he should take vengeance on a man who had injured him, " I do not wish to deprive Mm either of bis goods, his honor or bis life. I only wish to deprive him of his ill-will."

He is armed without that is innocent within.

It is more difficult to forgive an injury from a friend than from an enemy. Your favorite dog flying at you, pains you a great deal more than a similar assault from a strange dog.

We can carry nothing with us to the other world, save the good we have done.

Lord Byron sensibly said, " Clever- ness and cunning are incompatible. I never saw them united; the latter is the resource of the weak, and is only natural to them ; children and fools are always cunning, but clever people never."

Like the little streamlet gushing From ilio lofty mountain-aide,

Through (lie valley quickly winding, Seeking fait the ocean tide,

There to swell the mighty waters Of the rut, deep, raging sea—

Never ceasing, never failing, Feeble though its forco may be;

So the stream of pure affection Through our beings, as they roll

■ Form the source of every pleasure— Are the life-blood of the soul.

As to little streams, the ocean Owes its depth, and length and breadth,

So the soul, to lore's pure fountain Lookcth ever for its strength.

Streams of grief may gather round it; Sorrow's mantle o'er it fall;

While these streams supply the fountain, Here's a charm to solace all.

Selections. FEMALE COURAGE AND HEROISM.

A THBILLTNG LITTLE STORY. BEAUTY.

Were the article "A" placed before our subject, you might perhaps expect an elaborate description of some far famed, admired type of the female race; but in consequence of its being omitted, my theme takes another turn. " Beauty is an assemblage of graces, or an assemblage of properties in the form of person or any object that pleases the eye." Poets, orators and sages have delighted to dwell upon this mysterious quality,— a quality which at times appears to be hidden from the human eye, but which, when drawn forth by some strange yet wonderful process, reveals its powers in all the glorious realities of the soul within.

Thero are those who think they per- ceive beauty where in reality there is none; and there are many objects which seem at first to us to be void of everything appertaining to beauty, but upon closer examination prove to us that the brightest gems lie hidden beneath the poorest stratum. There is beauty in the human, countenance, in the broad, expansive brow, in the brilliant Hashing of the eye, and in the curling lip.— There is not a single leaf in the great volume of Nature that does not bear the stamp of beauty's impress. In the sun, soaring above the morning cloud in all his resplendent majesty; in the pale- faced moon which casts her gentle beams of light upon both true and false alike; in the silvery orbs that bespaugle the blue heaven;—there's beauty in the veriest flower that springs beneath our feet; in the waving forest tree, swaying to an fro, fanned by the pure breezes of heaven ; in the waves of the ocean, as they dash and roll against each other, heaving the crested foam above the top- most surge ; in the lightning's flash, us it leaps from cloud to cloud; in the thunder's roar as it rolls over bill and vale.

Look at the painter, as he stands before his canvas, grasping the brush of genius, ready to place before the admir- ing world his brightest vision of glory. It tills the poet's soul with purest joy, and causes him to pour forth the sweetest strains from the spirit hind of poesy.

The very remotest corner of the earth is full of beauty. Hear what Henry Ward says: "The laziest bank in the world away from town, where no arti.-ts do congregate—upon which no farm laps nor flowers spring, nor grass invites the browsing herd,—is yet spotted and patched with moss of such exquisite beauty that the painter who in all his life should produce one such thing, would be a master in art and immortal in fame." Hut the most beautiful object that calls forth the admiration, and which contains the secret of true beauty, is seen in the combination of beauty, heart, intellect; this indeed is worthy of our highest admiration. The form and face moulded from nature's finest cast may engage tlie attention of the eye for a moment, but if it is not lit by a soul of beauty, It cannot move the heart; and allow me to add in the words of another, " There is a charm in intellect, in the superiority of mind before which the mort envious must bow ; but it is not knowledge we love, it is tbe tender and sympathizing heart;

' the beauty of a kind*9act and smile leaves an impression that time can never destroy. Truly, the beautiful lives in the soul." B. M.

T

In the month of June, a peddler and his wife presented themselves at sun- down at the door of a little farm house, at Boaie, in France, and requested permission of the farmer to stay over night, A small room was assigned to them, as the farmer's wife was confined to her bed. The next day was Sunday, and the farmer and his servants went to church. The peddler also started to go, and there remained in the house the wife of the faritaery a new born infant, the peddler's wife who feigned sickness, and a child six years of age.— Scarcely had the people gone out, when the pedler's wife, armed with a knife, presented herself at the bed of the sick woman, and demanded her money or her life. The poor woman, sick and weak, delivered up her keys, and desired the little boy to show the apartments. She rose softly from her' bed, followed the peddler's wife without being heard, and having beckoned the child out of the room, locked the door. She then desired the child to run for bis father, and desire him to bring assist- ance. The child did not lose an instant, but by a surprising fatality, met the peddler on the road, who had stolen from church to assist his wife in the pre- concerted robbery. " The peddler asked the child where he was going. He answered that he was going to seek his father, as an attempt was made to rob him. The peddler said it was now unnecessary, as he himself would go and protect his mother; and taking the child by the hand, they ret tuned to the farm. They knocked at tbe door, but the farmer's wife not recognizing the voice of her husband, refused to open. The peddler made vain efforts to induce her, and finally threatened to cut the child's throat and break it open. Furi- ous at being unable to prevail upon her, he executed his horrible threat, and killed the child.

After committing this horrible crime, lie tried to get into the house to save his own wife, us the time passed, and the farmer might return from church. His attempts failing, he mounted the roof and descended the chimney. The farmer's wife, almost fainting, now saw nothing to deliver her from certain death.— The wretch was almost down the chimney, and about to enter her chamber, when collecting all her strength, she by sudden inspiration drew the paillasse (straw bed) to the edge of tho hearth, and quickly set fire to it. The smoke in a few moments enveloped tho assas- sin, who, not being able to re-ascend, very soon fell in the fire half suffocated. The farmer's courageous wife lost not her presence of mind; but,in his blind- ed state struck him several severe blows on the head with the poker, which put him beyond the chance of immediately recovering his senses. Exhausted with fatigue and mental agony, she herself fell senseless on the carpet of her chamber, and remained in this situation till the farmer and his servants returned from church. The dead body of the child at the gnte of the farm house was the first horrible spectacle that met the eyes of tbe unhappy farmer. They forced open the doors, and after having recovered to life the farmer's wife, they seized the two culprits and delivered thorn over to justice. The peddler sur- vived bis wounds and burns, and both he and his partner received the punish- ment due to their crime.

THM ABXAJTSJLB TBAVELLEB. In the early settlement of Arkansas;

a . traveller, after riding eight or ten; miles without meeting a human being, or seeing a human habitation, came at length, by a sodden turn of the wood- road, to a miserable " shanty," the centre of the clearing, in what had originally been a " Black-jack-thicket," whence the only sound that proceeds is. the discordant music of a broken fiddle, from the troubled bowels of which the occupant is laboriously extorting the monotonous tune known as " The Arkan- tai, or Rackentack Traveller." Our traveller rides up within a few feet of the door, which was once the bed frame of a cart body, now covered with bettt skins, and hung upon two wooden hing- es. After much shouting, the inmate appears, fiddle in hand, and evidently " wrathy" at being interrupted in the exercise of bis art. Tbe following col- loquy ensues, the indefatigable fiddler still playing the first strain of " The Arkansas Traveller," which in fact he continues, at sadden intervals, until the- dialogue, as will be seen, is brought to an unexpected conclusion. If this be not" seeking lodgings under difficulties," we should like to know what might le- gitimately be so considered:

"Traveller: 'Friend, can I obtain commodations for the night with you ?'

Arkansas Artist: 'No, Sir—'nary 'commodation.'

Traveller: My dear sir, I have already travelled thirty miles to-day, and neither myself nor my horse has had a mouthful to eat; why can't yon accom- modate me for to-night ?'

Ark. Artist: 'Just because It can't be did. We're plum out of everthing to eat in the house. Bill's gone to mill with the last nubbin . of corn on the premises, and 'II be nigh onto tbe shank of to-morrow evenjn' afore be cum a borne, unless suthin uncommon happens.'

Traveller: 'You surely must have ■tomethivg that I can feed to my horse ; even a few potatoes would he better than no food.

Ark. Artist: ' Stranger, our eatin- roots gin out about a week ago; so your chance is slim thar.'

Traveller: ' But, my friend, I must remain with you any way; 1 can't go any farther, whether I obtain anything to eat or not. You will certainly allow me the shelter of your roof.'

Ark. Artist: ' It can't be did, old boss. You see, we've got only one dried hide on the premises, and mc and the ole woman allus occupies that; so whar'» your chance ?

Traveller: 'Allow me to hitch my horse to that pcrsimmon-trec, and with my saddle and blanket I'll make a bed in the fence-corner.'

Ark. Artist: ' Hitch your horse to 'simmon tree?—in a horn] Why, you must be a nnt'ral fool, stranger] Don't you see that's me and the ole woman's only chance for 'simmon beer, in tbe fall of the year ? If your horse is so tarnnl hungry as you say he is, he'd girdle it as high up as he could reach, afore mornin.' Hitch your horse to that tree ! I 'spect not; no, no, stranger, you can't come 'nary sich a dodge as that!'

Our traveller, seeing that he had an original to deal with, and being himself an amateur performer upon the instrument to which the stranger was so ar- dently attached, thought he would change his tactics, and draw his determined not-to-be ' host' out a little, before in- forming him of the fact that he could play ' The Arkansas Traveller ;' which once being known, he rightly conjec- tured, would be a passport to bis better graces.

Traveller: 'Well, friend, if I can't stay, how far is it to the next house ?'

Ark. Artist: 'Ten miles; and you'll think they are mighty long ones, too, afore you get thar. I came nigh onto forgettin' to tell, the big creek is up; the, bridge is carried off; there's nary yearthly chance to ford it; and if yer bound to cross it, yer'll have to go about seven miles up the stream, to ole Davy Lody's puncheon-bridge, through one of the biggest boniboo swamps ever you see. I reckon the bridge' is standing yet—'twas yesterday mornin', tho' one eend had started down stream fifteen feet, or sich a matter.'

Traveller: ' Friend, yon seem com- municative; and if i'ts no offence, I'd

Off ABTTY. Cover tbe faults of others with the

mantle of charity. Remember that you, too, possess a frail nature, and are liable at any time to turn aside from the strait and narrow way into the by- paths of error. We often hear this saying repeated, " Man is a creature of circumstance," which, as we define it,

want bat one solitary picayune left, and as the ole woman allus carries the putt, in course she had it. Well, I sot the bar'I agin one side of the room, and shortly arter the old woman sez, ' Sop- posin' you tap your end of the bar'l ?' and I did ; and she bort a drink, and paid me picayune. Pretty soon I began to get dry, and says I, ' Ole woman, supposin' you tap your end of tbe bar'l ?' and she did; and then she sell me a drink ; and the way that picayune has travelled back'ards and for'urds over the bung of that bar'l is a caution to them that love 'red eye.' But, stranger, losses is apt to come with every business ; and me and the ole woman has •lost sorne in the grocery line; and I tell you how 'twas. The boy Bill, our eldest son, he see how the ticker was goin', and he didn't have 'nary red to jine in the retail business; so one -night he crawl under the bouse, and taps the liin'l ntwixt the cracks in the puncheon- floor ; r'ally believe he's got more than me or the ole woman ither; the good for nothiu' vagabon', to come the ' gain" over his natural born parents; it's enuff to made a man sour agin nil creation; that boy '11 be the ruin of us yet. He takes to trickery jist as nateral as a hungry possum takes to a hen-roost.— Now, stranger, what on yearth am I to do ? He beats me and the ole woman entirely.'

Traveller: ' It would be difficult for mo to advise you in regard to your son, nnd have no family of my own. You say it is ten miles to the next house; the big creek is up; the bridge carried away ; no possibility of fording it, and seven miles through a swamp to the only bridge in the vicinity! This is rather a gloomy prospect, particularly as tbe sun is about down; still, my curiosity is excited, and as you have been plnying only one part of ' The Arkan- sas Traveller' ever since my arrival, I would like to know, before I leave, why you don't play the tune through ¥

Ark. Artist: ' For one of the best reasons on yearth, old hoss—I can't do it. I haint learnt the turn of that tchune, and drat me if I believe I shall.'

Traveller: ' Give me the instrument, and I'll see if I can't play tbe (urn for you.'

Ark. Artist: ' Look o'here, my friend, do you piny the (urn of- that tchune?'

Traveller: ' I believe I can.' Ark. Artist: ' 'Lite, lite, old hoss!—

we'll find a place for you in the cabin, sure. Ole woman ! (a ' hallo !' within the shanty was the first indication the traveller had of any other human being on thispremuet) stranger plays the turn of ' T/te Rackentack Traveller: My friend, hitch your horse to the 'simmon tree, or anywhere else you please. Bill '11 be here soon1, and he'll take keer of him. Ole woman, you call Sal and Nance up from the spring; tell Nance to go into the spring-house and cut off a large piece of bear-steak, to brile for tbe stranger's supper; tell Sal to knock over a chicken or two, and get out some flour, and have some flour doin's and chicken fixin's for the stranger.

• THE DESCENDAlfTS Or MET 0* GEHTM.

It is very seldom that men distinguished for intellectual power leave more than a brief progeny behind them, and men of imaginative genius almost never. There are some exceptions to this, as for instance, Charles Dickens has no less than seven sons ; and we all know instances in this country and abroad where great poets have bad large families; still tbe rule remains that with an increase of intellect there is a decrease of progeny. Perhaps the children of great men are ofiener female than male. This rule applies to nations as well as to individuals. New countries, with a rough, unlettered people,.where the physical is well developed and the intellect lies fallow, have a rapid increase of population.

It is said that, with the exception of Surrey and Spenser, there is not at present a representative of the male line, so far down as the third generation of any English poet; and the same is true of France. Chaucer's only son died childless. Shnkspeare and Milton ceased in family with grand-daughters. Ualeigh, Cowley, Bacon, Butler, Bolingbroke, Addison and Burke, the lnst of whom died broken-hearted from the loss of an only son, transmitted no blood. Byron left only one daughter — '• Ada, sole daughter of his house and heart."— Pope, Johnson, Hume, Gibbon, Gold- smith, Swift, Locke, Newton, Cowper, Gray, and many other literary men of former times, whose names are destined to -be repeated from generation to generation, never married.

Of tbe two great British orators, Pitt and Fox, one was a bachelor and the other childless. Tom Moore's children all preceded him to the grave. Walter Scot left sons* and daughters; but we believe that the last of his descendants has recently died; if not, the honors of the house of Abbouford remain with one little girl. Tom Hood has only one son to bear his name, and left an only daughter. Thackeray has daughters, dut Disraeli is childless. Thus we run through the names of the intellectual luminaries of our age or any age— of our country or any country—and we shall find the rule true, that many children are not the gifts of great minds.— It has been said that this brightness and greatness indicates ripeness in a family, and a speedy end. The fact we know —the cause is more difficult to deter- mine.—Newburyport Hexald.

WHISTLING.

We believe in whistling—we love to hear it, and to do it. The boy or man at the plough who whistles, indicates that ho is contented, and he will plough more than your silent glum one, who lias no music in his soul, nor in his lips. The Albany Times is right when it says that the man who does not believe In whist- liug, should go a step further, and put a muzzle on the bob-o'-link and mocking birds. Whistling is a great institution. It oils tbe wheels of care, and supplies the place of sunshine. A man who whistles has a good heart under bis shirt front. Such a man not only works more willingly than any other man, but works more constantly. A whistling cobbler will earn as much again money as a cordwainer who gives way to low spirits and indigestion. Mean or nvaii eious men never whistle. Who ever heard of a whistler among the sharp practitioners of Wall street ? We pause fur an answer. The man who at.acks whistling, throws a stone at tbe head of hilarity, and would, if he could, rob June of her roses—Aughst of its meadow lurks. Such a man should be looked to.

QUAKEHS.

It is noteworthy that three prominent Americans—Benjamin West, the great painter; Charles Broekden Brown, the noted novelist; and- John G. Whittier, the gifted poet, should be of Quaker lineage. This tact is a remarkable one, inasmuch as the society of Friends, both in principle and practice, manifest a re- pugnance rather than a sympathy with the products of the imagination. Tom Paine, the noted deistieal and political writer, was of Quaker parentage, but in early life renounced tbe faith of his family. John Steal WAS of Quaker family, but in his boyhood was " read out" of the drab fraternity for " knocking-a man who had insulted him heels over.head; for paying military fine; for making a tragedy; arid for desiring to be turned out, whether or no." It Is singular that while Ncal does not appear to have inherited any Quaker pla- cidity of mind, his first novel waa entitled * Keep Cool." .— iii

From the annual report of the Merrimack Mutual Fire Insurance Company, located in this town, it appears that the amount insured by tint company is now two and a half millions; that there are no outstanding claims for losses, and that those whose poli- cies arc expiring at this time receive back forty per cent, of the premium they paid in ; and that no policy now in force has been assessed. The amount insured has increased $133,000 during the post year, and $538,000 in the five preceding years.

Our readers will please notice the advertisement of Messrs. Wardwell & Watson, in another column. Their stock comprises almost everything in the way of hardware and tools, ami has, we have reason to believe, been selected with great care, and will bo found well adapted to the wants of every customer. These gentlemen aro determined to make it for the interest of every person in want of such goods to purchase at their store ; and for this purpose are selling at as low prices as can be found in the vicinity or at the largest establishments in Boston. Farmers and others in want of tools for their Spring work, will do well to give them a call. 1 ■ i

It will be seen by reference to our adver- tising column* that Messrs. Kim ball Bros., the well-known dry goods dealer* at 124 Essex street, Lawrence, have added to their business the manufacture of parasols. The reason why it must be for the advantage of purchasers to buy directly from the manufacturers, must be obvious to all. While doing this they have not abated a whit their former stock of all kinds of dry goods, from the richest silks and shawls to the more common class of goods. In every department their stock will be found complete.— These gentlemen have been long and favorably known to the community, and we bespeak for them a large spring trade.

AN ELKOANT DENTAL ESTABLISH- MENT.—If our readers would obtain an idea of the great extent of business in the tlental profession, in this city, we advise I hem to visit the extensive rooms of Drs. Cuinniings ffc Flagg, No. 25 Tremout street, embracing seven apartments devoted expressly to dental practice. Having just refitted and refurnished their rooms, they now present the most elegant and tasteful appearance, surpassing in extent, comfort and convenience, any similar establishment in this country. The beautiful specimens of artificial teeth, single, whole sets, and parts of sets, attract especial attention, and challenge the admiration, not -more of the general obsorver than the strictly scientific, who can fully appreciate their perfect accu- racy and beauty- We have often seen com- mendatory notices of their work, but have never observed the least exaggeration, and. not one statement in reference to its excellence which we would not cheerfully en- dorse, from personal knowledge. The medals and diplomas awarded at various times, alone place them at the head of their profession ; but to appreciate the skill and superior workmanship of the very gentlemanly conductors of this establishment, the public should call and examine for themselves. We are sure that as thoir work challenges the admiration of all, so their dental operations are most scientific and skilful.—Boston Traveller, April 18.

tmttyw&mt, THE PUNCHARD ScnoOL.—Messrs. Ed-

itors I—The article in the last Advertiser in reference to the Punchard School wears the air of candor. The subject, however, will be better understood with some additions.

It is asked, " How many of the four Su- perintendents have complained V" In the enumeration, the first Superintendent died about a year before tho school went into operation. With what propriety, in an enquiry of this sort, he can be classed as a Su- perintendent, or what inference is to be drawn from the fact that ho made no complaints of the conduct of a school not in existence in his lifetime, is not easy to see.

The reference is still graceful; it revives the memory of one whose example should never be lust to the youth of tho town, and before whose'pure life and " saintly" death, in his assured ami almost visibly opening glories beyond it, the grave lost all its gloom.

There is good reason to believe that no rules and regulations were mode in the time of the gentleman next chosen ; for it is well known that lie did complain for the want of them.

A cursory reading of the article referred to, would leave the impression that there was no difference between—according to the enumeration of the writer—the second and third administrations of the school.— But, we ask, if early in this last there was not adopted by the Trustees a set of rules V if the clerical committee of the board has not exercised over thum a dispensing power, sotting them aside, altering and adding to them as they deemed the occasion to require ? if, at one period, the Principal was not forbidden to give the pupil any leave of absence, and such leave could only be obtained from a majority of tho committee ? Would not every teacher, who was true to himself, complain of such a stato of things ? If tho present teacher does not complain, is it not because those restrictions have been removed ?

There certainly have been complaints pertaining to the admission of scholars; nor is this strange. There would be less cause for jealousy if the terms were published, as is usual in such schools. The people have a right to know what are the terms of admission. When a law is made touching rights, and the law is kept from the public view, doubts may be well entertained of the justice of it* administration. The writer says he knows that a fair mode of examin- ing has been adopted. Why does he not say that he knows the judgments made upon the examinations have always been fair?

It is quito possible that the writer in the last Advertiser has disclosed the source of whatever difficulty there has been. He say*: " Without such a standard of qualification, the school could not have been accepted by the Legislature as a substitute for the High School required by law." We do not understand this alleged restraint on the power of the Legislature. We have supposed as a general rule, that what the Leg

and removes at one* all difficulty from it* performance.

" But," says OUT writer, " it is not to be expected that the early stages of an enter- Ertse like the Punchard School, should ex-

ibit its perfect development." Here, probably, is the source of many errors. It has been managed, it seems, a* an enterprise.— But what is it more or less than simply the High and Grammar School of the Ar.dp- vers ? There are hundreds of similar institutions in the State, with, the control of which their respective trustees find no difficulty, or necessity of constantly trying experiments. Or, if they do, they keep them before the people, that they may govern themselves accordingly.

Another obstacle to the success of this school, is said to be the " exceedingly low literary attainment in the common schools." " Wonderful to teU /" Will the " clerical members of the board" thank their astute defender for this discovery; when it is well known that one or more of them or their predecessors have been members of the town school committee ever since that mem- orable time when the "memory of man run- neth not to the contrary ?"

It is often asked if the whole control of the Punchard School of necessity devolves on tho pastors named in the will. Thore arc other points that ought to be noticed This reply is made beeauso the defence, un- answered, is calculated to injure the utility of the school. The subject is highly proper tor discussion, and greatly needs it.

The school is for all generations, and it is to be regretted that some measures have been adopted which may hereafter distinguish the present as wanting in that large and liberal spirit displayed by the donor in his munificent foundation.

If the Trustees will nuke this school what it is by law, a Grammar and High School, and suffer it to be conducted and governed just as such institutions usually are, they will be no longer, if they ever have been, "targets of perpetual censure," nor will they be subject to more " arduous and self-sacrificing labors" than are common to town committees in cbargu of such schools, by whom, in general, we think the duty is deemed a pleasure rather than a labor or a sacrifice.

SANKORNTON, N. II., April 10, 1859. Messrs. Editors: — It is interesting to

note the difference in climate which exists in a very few hours' travel by railroad. At April 11 the snow had disappeared, and the ground had been settled for weeks, and. early spring flowers had long been blooming in gardens, at Andover. In three hours the Boston 8c Montreal train of cars bore me to a section where winter seemed just breaking up, and vcgctalion had not even dreamed of waking from its long slumbers of renovation.

During a week's residence here several incidents of interest have occurred. Among them WAS one that illustrates the importance of observing strictly the directions of doc- tors when we lake their medicines. A sick man some miles out, sent into the village for a physician, who, being unable to attend, sent a medicine which rightly administered is very apt to cure ; but wrongly, is quite as apt to kill. He staled the fact to the bearer, and repeated to him three times the proportions to be administered, and caused him to repeat it after him. It was to mix a teaspoonful with nine of water, and take one every two hours. Instead of this he reported, take, all at once, and in two hours a similar dose. Tho consequence was as disastrous as though he had had a live doctor personally present. Ho was of course soon defunct. E. S.

CONCERNING DIRJS.—The act concerning dogs, passed at the recent session of the Legislature, was approved by the Governor on the 6th inst., rod takes effect immediately. Its requirements are as follows:

1. Every owner of a dog shall on or before the thirtieth day of April in each year, cause it to be registered, numbered and licensed, for one year from the first day of May next ensuing, in the clerk's office of the city or town wherein he resides ; and shall pay for such license one dollar for a male dog and five dollars for a female dog. The license shall be issued, and the money received by said clerk, who shall pay the same into the treasury of said city or town, to be used and appropriated with the other funds therein.

2. The owner of every dog so licensed, shall cause it to wear around its neck a collar distinctly marked with it* owner's name and registered number.

4. Any person may, and every police islatttre requires, and what is required by I officer and constable shall, kill or cause to

: be destroyed all dogs going at large and not ! licensed and collared according to the pro-

visions of this act. Officers shall receive from the city or town treasury fifty cent* for each dog so destroyed by them. A fine for poisoning.

9. Whoever keep* a dog not registered, numbered, described and licensed, according to the provisions of this act, shall forfeit the sum of ten dollars, to lie recovered by complaint to the use of the town wherein the dog is kept.

The wide reputation which Dr. J. Ilostct- ter's " Stomach Hitters" have attained during tho past year, bespeaks its excellence in a more forcible mauner than any words which we can offer. It renovates, purifies and strengthens the system, and aids the stomach in the performance of its functions. It is regarded on all sides as a sovereign specific, and therefore, to procure it in the best possible way, should be the object of the public.— We commend it with more than usual zeal and confidence, believing and knowing as we do that it stands foremost among the many preparations of the day, for imparting strength, vigor and tone to the system, and possessing the curative powers for all similar diseases arising from a disordered stomach. In the most severe cases of cramps, diarrhoea and weakness in the stomach, the " Bitters" have been rigidly tested, and always with the greatest success. For sale by druggists and dealers generally, everywhere.

TRDELL'S.—Wo can all remember when I. W. Truell made np his mind that Lawrence would support an additional dry goods itore of the first quality. We can all remember, too, the quiet, neat and convenient store which he rented, and in which he made, without exception, the most tasty and inviting display of goods in the city. He has now rented a store equal in capacity to any other in the city, and excelled by nona for the comfort and convenience which it affords to customers. We took occasion, a few days since, to look in upon him, and to see how he flourished in his now quarters. We found an excellent assortment of rich goods, in all the varieties of style, finish and expense, and saw, to onr satisfaction, that onr ladles were bestowing a very liberal patronage, in reward for his enterprise and endeavors to meet their wishes. So we hope it may ever be. The only method for securing an obedience to public wishes and desires, is to favor those who strive to meet them. Mr. Truell's success it but the legitimate result of enterprise and ability.—Law- rence Sentinel

MESSRS. I. W. TBUBLL & Co., of Lawrence, who hare so long advertised their goods in our columns, have this Spring ad.ded materially to their stock, both in variety and extent. An experience of about ten years at Lawrence enables them to anticipate the wants of their customers, and provide just those goods which are known to anil. Tholr good taste and skill in selecting goods; their uniform courtesy, industry and honorable dealing, merit tho pat ronage of the community. We trust onr citl- r.ens will give them a call at this time.—Ad- vertiser.

FLAWT TBEES.

We hope the present season will witness not only a continued bat an increasing interest in the matter of setting oat ornamental shade trees In the public streets and highways of our New England cities and towns. For several years past there has been a growing interest in this matter. In some places tree associations have been formed, and have prosecuted the good work with vigor; in others the people have set apart a day which they devote to the work, and every public spirited man in town has put out a tree ; in others appropriations of money have been made at the annual town meetings to set out trees; and in other cases, the ladies, always forward in every good wowl and work, have got up fairs and levees and raised the funds, while the gentlemen have done the work. All these ways are suggestive of the manner in which the work can be prosecuted this spring, and wo mention them for that purpose. We should be glad to know that in every town in New England there was this spring a united public movement to ornament the streets with shade trees. A half dozen of public sprited men in any town or village or city can start III movement, and we will guaranty that If they will do so they will flud enough of the people ready to respond to their call, to secure the success of the movement.

We suppose it is not necessary to argue that shado trees are a great public ornament, or that tbey add materially to the value of real estate in front of which they are placed. If any one has doubts as to the former assertion, let him visit New Haven, or Norwich, or Springfield, or Worcester, or Portland, when the trees are elad in their summer verdure, and unless his heart is dead to all appreciation of the beautiful in nature, his doubts on that point will be banished forever. And coming down from that position to the lower motive of dollars and cents, let him ask the residents of the arbored streets in those cities, as in hot midsummer the leafy boughs yield to them the cooling breeze, or as at morn and OTO the cheerful birds pour forth their sweetest songs, for what consideration in dollars and cents they would part with the trees ; and the answer would doubtless be one which would satisfy him on that point. As n case in point, we would refer to East Boston, where by the munificence of Gen. Win. II. Sumner, some sixteen hundred trees have been set out, during the past six years. The trees are now one of the greatest attractions of the place ; and if the question was put to the people of the Ward to-day if they would part with their trees for 8100,000, they would indignantly " spurn the bribe."

We hope to see this good work carried on vigorously this spring. Now is the time to move in the matter. A fortnight hence will be too late. It takes time to organize, to appoint committees, to find yood trees — no man should put out a poor one—to get the holes dug, the boxes made, and the trees transplanted. Commence the work at once, and carry it on with energy and zeal.— Huston Journal.

SEA KALE.

Why is it there is such an aversion to adopt any new article for culture ?— How slow were most cultivators for years is raising the tomato, spinach and rhubarb. Some of these were cultivated in the gardens of the amateur some twenty years before they came in favor by our market raisers; the salsify is still hardly known as a marketable vegetable, while the sea kale can rarely be found even in the markets of our large cities. Farmers and gardeners are not, however, the only ones that are thus slow to rcceivo valuable novelties.— The medical faculty of Paris, it is said, proscribed as poisonous the potato, one hundred years after that plant had raised millions of vigorous troops, who, nndar Marlborough, had again and again beaten the finest armies of France.

The sen kale is said, by Dr Curts, to " centre within itself all the good qualities of the cabbage tribe, and as a pu- rifier of the blood in the spring, it cannot be too highly recommended." This plant, when first introduced into cultivation in England, was said to be one of the most valuable acquisitions made to their culinary vegetables, for fifty years previous.

The sea kale is of easy culture, either by seeds, slips, or pieces of roots ; that from seed, however, is the most preferable. Any land in good heart will answer. The seed should be sown two inches deep, the ground pressed down with the spade or hoe, and in about three weeks the plants will make their appearance; these should be thinned out to about one inch apart, and they want little attention other than to keep the weeds down.

At the commencement of winter, clear the plants of decayed leaves, bend over the tops carefully and cover with litter. The following spring the seedlings having made strong, healthy plants, should be transplanted into ridges two feet distant ; they will then produce what is called the crown, or edible part of the top of each. It is a very lasting plant, producing as strong shoots or sprouts at

eight or even ten years old as they did at four. The sea kale being a mari- time plant, a slight dressing of salt to the soil previous to setting them out will greatly benefit their growth. This vegetable is cooked in the same manner as spinach and other greens.—New Bug. Banner.

GOAL ASHJSB AS A MANURE.

But few experiments have been made by American farmers to test the fertiliz- ing properties of coal ashes. While we are importing guano and other manures from foreign lands in enormous quantities, and at great expense, it may be well to employ some substances nearer home, which are now neglected and cast aside as useless. Thousands of tons of ashes might be obtained in cities, where coal is extensively employed for fuel, which, when applied to the soil, would greatly augment its productive powers. It is stated in Faulkner's Farmers' Manual, an English publication on manures, that coal ashes contain sulphate of lime, with some potash and soda, all of which are known, when separately applied, to produce a good effect on clover crops, and to constitute an Important part of the food of all classes.

The following experiment by an Eng- lish farmer, may shed some light on the subject; the ground selected contained three perches of clover;-1 he first had no manure^ and produced thirty-eight pounds when cut in full head ; the second, where four quarts of sifted coal ashes had been exposed to the weather, were applied, the produce' was fifty pounds; on the third perch one quart of plaster was sowen, and the crop weighed fifty-four pounds. It will be seen that the ashes increased the crop nearly one quarter above that on which no manure was applied, which goes to prove that this substance is a valuable fertilizer. Coal is said to bo of vegetable origin; therefore we can see no reason why its ashes should not contain the food of plants. Experiments on various soils and crops might be made by any farmer at small expense, as coal A employed as fuel in nearly every town.

The loss of fruit trees within the lost three years, in Illinois, is estimated at about three millions of dollars.

ShUtcfa IMrg. THE VEILED GRIEF.

BT ALBERT LAIGHTON.

0, think not that my eyes are dry, Because you mark no tailing tears 1

There Hows a river deep and dark, Whose waters ebb not with the yean.

And think not that my lips are mate, Because you hear no spoken word.

Full freighted with the tones of grief— I hear a voice you never heard.

And think not that my heart is cold, Beeanse no passion ares my breast j

There is a chamber in my soul That only owna an angel guest.

My tears fall inward on my heart, And, dew-like, keep its memories green ;

Sad strains, unheard by other ears, Break forth for me from lips unseen.

SMwtions. THE SILENT FUNERAL.

The occasion excited much sympathy in Burlington. A mother, lovely in person and in character, had been suddenly smitten with death ; and she was now brought home to be buried among her kindred.

Friends went in large numbers to the house of mourning. In an upper chamber lay the mortal remains of Abigail B. B., reminding those who beheld her in death, " She is not dead but sleep eth." Slowly I descended to the lower room, where I found friends reverential- ly sitting, with their broad bats on, as silent as the grave itself. It was a time of reflection, and of awe, and, doubtless, of prayer. It was good to be there.

After the lapse of a half hour, heavy footsteps told that the time of burial had arrived. Not a word was said.— Many a heart was full, too full fox ut- terance. The young wife was brought out for her final resting-place, with funeral solemnity. Sitting where I could see all, I looked on, less from curiosity than with anxious and unrestrained sympathy. Following the dead was the manly and weeping husband with his motherless children. Then the afflicted parents came, who had watched over their dear daughter in infancy and youth, and were now to cradle her, for her final sleep, in the nursery of the grave. My heart oeat for her old friend, the father, now full of years, as, with deep moving sadness, he slowly followed the precious body, in company with the dignified and mournful partner of his joys and sorrows. Then, accompanied by her respected husband, came one whose friendship I had formed in the glory of her youth, and with whom I now sympathized, as never before, with Christian fellowship. A member of my own church, I rejoiced that she, with others, could adore her Saviour in that hour of desolation. As the relatives moved out, tears flowed from the eyes of friends; increasing yet more when the younger sisters and brothers followed their loved one to the grave. Not a word was said.

Venerable men and women led, on foot, the long procession, which went, side by side, with the score of carriages and wagons, filled with the relatives.— In that solemn and impressive procession were the leaders of the Orthodox Friends' Church, some of the precious saints that serve their Lord on the earth. The aged, the middle-aged and the young kept pace together through the streets. All were silent.

We came to the gate of the old Friends' meeting-house, and there.where Abigail had worshipped in her youth the God of her fathers, no stop was made for worship now. She was carried on in the religious attitude of the last sleep to the hallowed sanctuary of the grave.

We gathered around the opened burying place. The black cloth on the coffin with its silver plate, told the story of worldly competence; but the coffin itself told the end of all -things here below. It was placed on its supports, immediately over the empty grave.— Hearts melted; but not a word was said. --TB-

Al'ter aminiite or two the sexton put bands under the coffin, and another interval occurred. It was a sorrowful scene ; not a word was said.

The coffin Was then lowered into the grave. The sound was speech ; but not a word was uttered.

Another interval; and the outer covering for the coffin was lowered down. We heard; but not a word waa said.

Some straw was then thrown into the grave, to break the fall of " earth to earth." Not a word was said.

Another interval occurred, when the men took their spades and commenced filling the grave. During the sorrowful process not a word was said. Solemnity was felt and seen. Husband, mother and sisters were in tears. Old friends meditated in sympathy; young ones were learning a lessson of wisdom.— God was among us. It was a melting

time. I thought of Abigail's honored grandmother, a Deborah amoag Friends, long since in her resting-place. I 'tkoughl of sweet Edith Laurie, whose mortal dust lay under the neighboring turf. I thought of Kmlen, and Cox, and Grellet, and other departed Friends. I thought of my own father and mother, reposing in my native land for the awakening of the resurrection.

I longed to utter, in that Quaker burying-ground, a few thoughts of love and comfort to mourners. But Chris- tian ceremony seemed to forbid. I was expecting to hear the' sweet tones of Eliza Gurney, or Hannah Molt, or Re- becca Allinson, or the stronger voice of Harrison Alderson. But not a word was said. The assembled throng was aa silent as the mouldering form of Abigail Barker, the grandmother of precious memory. The Holy Spirit was present; hut to Friends there seemed no call for speech.

The grave was now filled. Rela- tives took the last look of affection at the new-made mound, and then passed on to their carriages. The throng of solemnized spectators commenced to re- tire. Not a word was said. The dead were silent; not more than the living were.

In passing out of the borying-ground, the second carriage came quite near to me. I looked up, unexpectedly I stood face to face before my old friend, the father of his buried child. My heart sank within me under his look of bereavement. 1* instinctively uncovered my head, and slowly, solemnly and rev- erently bowed myself in his presence. Not a word was said. I hope he understood the action, although doubtless a rare one in the burial-yard behind the old Quaker meeting-house. I might live long without being able to show him more sincerely and naturally my affection. God bless him and his!

I walked home from the burial solemnized with holy thoughts and memories ; and although not a word was said, I shall never forget the silent funeral of Abigail B. 14., on the sixteenth day of second month, 1859.—Presb. Mag.

THE SILENT COUPLE.'

The papers relate a story of a couple in Cincinnati, who had not exchanged a word during twenty years of married life. They were not mutes, however. The Baltimore Dispatch tells of a similar instance:

The parties were wealthy and highly respectable. They had a numerous family of children, who had grown up and were all in flourishing circumstances, and troops of grandchildren, who frequently visited them. They were falling into the sere and yellow leaf, and were both tottering to the tomb at the age of nearly eighty; bat, though they had lived under the same roof, eaten at the same table, entertained the same friends, received together the frequent visits of their children and grandchildren, they had not interchanged a word for forty years.

To almost every one the cause was a mystery, and aa impenetrable one, for neither husband nor wife would bear from any one the slightest allusion to the subject. Yet there was one, an old servant, almost as old as her master or mistress, who did know, but she kept the secret faithfully. It was whispered, however, that jealousy was the cause.— The husband had found in the possess- sion of his wife some letters from a former suitor, which she had heedlessly, perhaps thoughtlessly, preserved. Im- petuous and unjust accusations followed. The indignant wife told her jealous husband that she would never speak to him again, but for the sake of her children she would not leave him. She kept her word with persistent obstinacy, and he followed the same course. They appeared absolutely indifferent to each other's existence.

At length the old man died. The wife had not come near him in his last sickness, and she came not to look upon bis corpse until they were about closing the coffin, and bearing him from the house in which they had dwelt so sin- guhtrly together for nearly half a een* tury, when, with a firm, though feeble step, she entered the room, walked to the coffin, gazed a few moments at his features, now motionless in death, and without a word, a tear, or even the shadow of an expression on her wrin- kled face, went back again unassisted to her own apartment. The funeral took place, and during the absorbing proceedings of the time she was left alone. After the funeral cortege had departed, and was out of sight, the old servant repaired to the room of her mistress. She noticed she was sitting very still in her chair, looking apparently out of the window. Seeing her continue motionless, she spoke to her, but there was no answer. She went to her—she was dead.

KOTOS OK MEMVYAK HANKERS AND . . OMTOMS.

The little breeae we have had with our cousin Lopez, President of Para- guay, has not only had the effect of opening his eyes to the determination of the Yankee character, but has given us an insight into the peculiarities of South American civilization. An interesting contribution in this line is furnished by a correspondent of the New York Qimmercial Advertiser, who makes the following note of manners and customs at Asuncion, the Paraguayan capital. That the Paraguayans have not attained to the refinement of Belgravia, Beacon street, or Fifth Avenue, is perhaps not 'their fault: j

" The society of Asuncion, the capital of the Republic of Paraguay, and the only place in which there exists the higher life of the republic, is yet in its primitive state, and it is not an easy matter to draw a picture of it. The immorality of the people is so mixed up with their simplicity of manners, their politeness and urbanity are so denuded of that delicacy of expression which high civilization demands, and their feelings of devotion are so imbued with superstition, very nearly akin to a mock- ery of what is conceived tar be a true religion, that their characters form something very unlike whatever is seen or conceived of society in other parts of the world.

The most fashionable families of Asuncion do not restrict themselves so much to the manners of their country, by muffling themselves whenever they go abroad as others, and are not always to be found in a loose robe de chambre when at home. They are able to converse in a sprightly and fluent strain in Spanish, when visited by foreigners who cannot speak the Guaram. Some idea

. may be formed of their society by the description of Mr. Robertson's first invitation to a dinner given by one of the fashionable families of the capital. He says : . ' Shortly after nay arrival in Asun- cion, I was invited by Senor J. to dinner, and, having accepted the invitation, I went on the following day at the late hour of 2 o'clock. Several friends were assembled for the occasion ; but at the table I was placed between two of the Misses X, young, blooming, (for most of the females of Asuncion are very fair), and without doubt pretty women.

Guess, then, my confusion to find that we were waited on at the dinner table by half a dozen boys and girls, little slaves, all perfectly nude. Their live- ries had cost nothing, their shoes and stockings had cost nothing, not one of them had dressed for dinner; they were one and all, in stalu natures. At first I figeted in my chair, and threw furtive glances around; but seeing every one on either side of me, including my fair companions, as composed as if the most rigid decorum had been studied, I gradually recovered my serenity, and learned thenceforward to know that whatever has become the custom of the country, is never supposed by the people to have anything outre in it. How we are, in truth, the creatures of habit! I got so accustomed to these unclothed attendants, during my sojourn in Para- guay and Corientes, that on my return to Buenos Ayres I thought there was great affectation in dressing out the same class of servants there from top to toe.'

As the body is left loose and unrestrained by dress in Paraguay, so the conversation of all classes is the most unsophisticated in its construction that can he imagined. There is no circum- spection, no subtlety, no mode of speech by which one thing is made to stand for another. At dinner, or any other occasion, right before their daughters, the parents sometimes give dissertations on domestic medicines, etc., which make a stranger's blood run-cold, but which they discourse about with all the volubility of clever mothers, in their maturer years, who have raised a large family by dint of their constant applications to the system of the doctor, and to which their daughters listen as gravely through the details, as if they were hearing counsels on the improvement of the mind.

In the principal streets of the city, long and continuous corridors are built, which run along on one side of it. The principal shopkeepers and merchants who inhabit this part of the town, on very warm nights of summer convert these corridors into common bed- rooms. The portable beds of these citizens are drawn out and ranged along the covered way; and it was curious to

— 4Uui '———■ 7T3

the fecne in the »f«a of a stranger. The same custom prevailed more or-less through the city, beds and stretchers obstructing the way in every direction. Very little police is exercised in Asun- cion, hut such a thing as a robbery or theffoommitted during the night is unheard of; and in fact such security was felt aid enjoyed that people rest without astjr nocturnal fears.'*

THElfcrXXE CHAHEEK AND HIS BATTLE SNAKES.

A torrespondent of the South Caro- linian nt the Sweet Springs of Vir- ginia, thus mentions an exhibition (here by jfttMaka ctMvm ■■ , _...,'

A tall, bony, Yankee-looking forwglP' er, last from California, made his appearance with a box of snakes—rattle snakes, moccasins, black snakes, vipers, etc. He collected a crowd around him, though at a respectful distance, and grasping with both hands a bunch of snakes, coiled them around his neck, and thrust them into his bosom, as if they were strands of silk or cotton. Their twistings and turnings seemed to give him pleasure, while the by-standers were filled with the very opposite emo-. tions. He professes to tame his savage friends by mesmerism, and thus fights the rattle snake with his own weapon.

Some in the crowd suggested that he should take a wild, untamed snake, and show his power over it, which he agreed to do for twenty-five dollars. This was readily subscribed, and a rattle snake caught the day before was soon pro- oared. The operator examined him somewhat cautiously, but presently turned the box over, and threw the ven- omous reptile on the green sward. He kicked him about several times, caught him by the tail and threw him back and forth, and finally seized him in the middle and held him at arms length. The snake turned his eyes towards him, and their eyes met; the latter fixed his gaze steadily upon the snake, and kept it so for several minutes, when he suddenly coiled it around his neck, and thrust it into his bosom, as he had done the others, and the snake seemed entirely docile. Two days after he repeated his experiment for twenty dollars on a large rattle snake which had just been caught, and with similar results. A crowd of gentlemen, ladies and children on the piazza of the hotel, witnessed the singular exhibition. It was painful to be- hold, though the individual seemed to have the most entire confidence in his ability to control the horrid reptiles.

riUCfc TWO OTTO tlU 1» ' I' '■ II r-

QOT LEFT.

A genuine touch of woman's nature, as well as human nature, pervades the following:

A comfortable old couple sat a seat or two in front of us on the railroad during one of the hottest days of last summer. The journey was evidently one of the events of their lives, and their curiosity excited the attention of the passengers. At a way station, the old gentleman stepped out to get a drink or to buy a doughnut, and heard the bell only in time to rush to the door of the eating-bouse and see the train move off without him. The lady in her seat had been fidgeting, looking out of the window in her anxiety for his return, and when she saw his plight, his frantic gestures for the train to stop, as it swept farther and farther away, she exclaimed, " There, my old man has got left 1 he has! there! see, he has! Wa'll," she continued, sitting back in her seat again, " I'm glad on't—it's always been,' Mam- my, you'll get left 1' all my life long; end now he's gone and got left, and I'm glad on't"

Her candid reflection on the accident, and the evident satisfaction she felt in the fact that it waa the old man, and not herself, that was left, was greeted ed with a round of applause.

" A busy hand giveth a happy heart" —when fair remuneration follows.

RULES FOB- THA.VKI.LINO—The-following rules are important to travellers, and are not as widely known, as could be desired:

It has lately been decided 'hat appli- cants for tickets on railroads can be ejected from the cars if they do not offer the exact amount of fare. Conductors are not bound to make change.

All railroad tickets are good until used, and other conditions " good for this day only," or otherwise limiting the time of genuineness, are of no account.

Passengers who lose their tickets can be ejected from the cars, unless they purchase a second.

Passengers are bound to observe de- see them as you passed along, toward j coruin in the ears, and are obliged to ten in the evening, preparing for bed, j comply with all reasonable demands to and some already enjoying their night's show tickets.

IHJE PHYSICAL TBAJNIKG 07 GIBLS.

It is matter of common observation that English women belonging to the higher classes unite .with their mental accomplishments far greater robustness and strength of physical constitution than are usually found in the females of this country, and all are ready to admit that the human form, in classic antiqui- ty, far "exceeded in perfection of sym- metry and vigor the ordinary development of the present chy. The race that gave to the world a Venus and an Apollo, is still regarded its furnishing the best examples of strength and beauty; .and perhaps these who are familiar with the social customs of the HWUioivt-wotO wWl<Bt(cedc rhat tfcfr perfection was the result of the systematic training and exercise of the body, then made an essential part of education.— In the ages of chivalry, too, when a man held it a greater honor to excel in feats of arms than in scholarship, wo read of wonderful achievements of physical strength. But all the lessons of the world's experience in such mut- ters seem to have been lost in our modern civilization, at least in America.— Look at the women in our higher circles, with their thin and willowy, forms, their pale and sallow faces, their inability to endure the slightest exposure or fatigue. Observe in all classes how early the cheek loses its youthful fresh- ness; how common are complaints of " delicate health"; how universal the appearance of fragility. It is true that publio attention has within a few years been in a degree awakened to this subject ; but as the light in Milton's infer- nal prison only served to make darkness visible, so this attention has only exposed the utter and fatal neglect of the duty — a neglect almost everywhere apparent.

If a panoramic view of the evils growing out of neglect of the proper physical training of children could be presented, the terror and alarm created by such a survey would drive fond pu- rents into the adoption of a better system. Mothers who now compel their jnfant offspring to live as prisoners, pin- ing in vain for fresh air and invigorat- ing, exercise, because Mary or Biddy cannot find time to take them out, would not only make the servant perform this every day, letting the housework go rather than omit it, but would make some arrangement for more thorough exercise of all the limbs than a mere childish walk can furnish. City-bred unfortunates will be benefitted by Cal- isthenic practice. The increase of institutions for this purpose is a good sign. A lady who presides over a large one in this city, appropriated exclusively to women, and where there are now thirty invalids, informed us she received children three years and a half old, and would warrant the manifest improvement of their health in three months. Amusement she makes an essential element of these exercises; for as all the muscles of the body should be brought into play, the powers of the mind, so intimately and mysteriously connected with the physical frame, should not be inactive.

We would advocate, or rather insist upon, the attachment of a gymnasium to every school; and if one wore in every house, it would prove an actual saving of more than its cost, in physicians' bills, medicines, and nurses' wages.

The evils of a hot-bed education, where culture of the mind is attempted, with neglect of physical development, are not so universally recognized as they should be. The dependence of the integrity of the brain on the health of the body—the need that organ has of rest as well as exertion, ought ever to be borne in mind. Nature should be allowed ber bunt in harmonizing the employment of the intellect with physical activity, by alternate exercise. And no school deserves patronage where this subject has not due consideration.

It was never designed by our Creator that the life of a human being should be made miserable by ill health. Strict observance of His wise laws will secure health; indeed, we would not be afraid to say that any child born of healthy parents, allowed abundance of exercise in the open air through childhood, apd preserved in youth from Injurious habits, may be lure of immunity from disease, till nature's great debt becomes due in the course of events. Entire freedom from headaches and indigestion, with its train of diseases, will he his portion whose early life lias had this judicious training. Think of this, mothers and teachers, we entreat you I and when you opine that an inlay! " must have worms," or note symptoms of lan- gour in a pupil—ask yourself if the young creature is not suffering from pri- vation of the blessings God gives freely to the poorest, and which cannot be denied without entailing a train of miseries upon such u portion of your life as your neglect may leave to the child uuder your caro.

When a young man confidently tells you that such-and-such a young lady ' has no heart,' yo« may be sure he has been trying il on and has failed to moke a favorable impression.

If a man marries a shrew, are we to suppose he is shrewd ?

'

never knows how young she looks until she has had her portrait painted.

To undertake to reason a girl out of love is as absurd as would be the attempt to extinguish Vesuvius with a glass of water.

A lady was taken by surprise the other day in Mississippi. John B, Sur- prise was married to Sallie A. Stock. They will probably have " little sur- prises" occasionally, to keep up the - stock."

Fair dealing is the bond and cement of society. Look out for the bogus article, which is plentier than the genuine.

He who understands most is other men's master.

A sailor being asked how he liked his bride, is reported to have remarked, " Why, d'ye see, I took her to be only half of me, as the parson says; but dash me if she hain't twioe as much as I. I'm only a tar—she a tar-tar."

Have a caro of " Had I known this before."

Small acts of kindness, how pleasant and desirable they make life I Every dark object is made light by them, and every tear of sorrow is brushed away.

The anxiety that a man feels for the want of fund is called " capital" pun- ishment.

The lady who made a dash, has since brought her h.isband to a full stop.

Mr. Johnson, of Brooklyn, N. Y., kissed Mrs. Brown without .justification. He being a tinker, and the Court thinking he had better mend his manners as well ashis pots and kettles, fined him three dollars.

" I'm goin^ to commence an ax-tion against you," as the fellow said when he was about to chop a tree down.

"Boy, wl re does this road go ?" "I don't think it goes anywhere. I always see it here every morning."

Henry VHI., after the death of Jane Seymour, had some difficulty to get another wife. His first offer was to the Dutchess of Milan; but her answer was, " Slie had but one head; if she had two, one should have been at his service."

Genius tins limits, Virtue has none; and every one pure and good can become better still.

A great many persons undertake to build fortunes as Pat tried to build his chimney. They begin at the top, and build down.

a Eliza, my child," said a prudish old maid to a pretty niece who would curl her hair in pretty ringlets, " if the Lord had intended your hair to be curled, he would have done it himself." " So he did, Aunty, when I was a baby; but he thinks I am big enough now to curl it myself." •*

" What has been your business ?" said the judge to the- prisoner at tin; bar. "Why, your honor, I used to be u dentist —-now 1 am a pugilist; then I put teeth in—now I knock 'em out."

The applause of a man's native place is generally the last he receives, for those who knew him in youth will not readily allow that in capacity he is su- perion to themselves, and are apt to regard the coming of his lfanie i.rnong them as an intrusion to be resented.— Oumingliam.

FIRE.—Abont 8 o'clock on Saturday evening last, a fire was discovered in one of tbe barn* of Mr. Joseph Kichard»on, in this village. The several fire companies in this town promptly rallied with their engines, and exerted themselves most heroically, and successfully stayed tbe progress of the de- vastating element. Other barns and sheds contiguously located were in imminent danger, but the one only was burnt in which the fire was first discovered. The " Tigers," a wide-awake fire company from So. Law- rence, were early on hand.

The loss of barn, four or five tons of hay, a horse, calf, harness and farming utensils, is nearly covered by an insurance at the Andover Office, of $425.

POST OFFICE We understand the Post Office is to be removed next month to the new and commodious quarters tn tbe Town House. All will rejoice at tbo change, for tbe business of the office is large, and tbe accommodations should therefore be ample. It is hoped a large number of boxes may be taken in tbe new office by those not having them in the old one, thus evincing on the part of the community an appreciation of this important public improvement.

SERIOUS R. R. ACCIDENT. — As the morning train on the Eastern R. R. was passing over the bridge on Parker river, it suddenly gave way, and all the [cars were preciptated into the water. The steamboat train, in passing on the night previous, had set fire to the bridge, and the timbers were burned to charcoal, rendering it impassable. The fireman saved his life by jumping from tbe train, and swimming ashore; but the engineer was lost During the delay necessary for repairing the bridge, the through passengers were conveyed over the Boston and Maine road.

CONSERVATORY.—We notice among our exchanges the Conservatory Journal," devoted to establishing a Massachusetts conservatory of art, science and historical relics." A plan of the same accompanies it, which it may be interesting for the friends of this enterprise to examine. It is that of a Greek cross, with a centre dome one hundred feet in diameter, four galleries or arms each two hundred feet in length and fifty in breadth, and four arms forming a Greek cross. It is proposed that this structure of granite, iron and glass be erected on the Back Bay lands, at a cost of $450,000. All the friends of science will rejoice that Massachusetts is the first to inaugurate sueh a movement, and we doubt not will lend a helping hand by forwarding donations and curious collections of every sort.

The following are the names of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas whose official life, by a law of the late Legislature, is limited to the 10th of May next:—Edward Mcllen of Wayland, Chief Justice; Jona- than C. Perkins of Salem, Henry W. Bish- op of Lenox, George N. Briggs of Pitts- field, George P. Sanger of Boston, Henry Morris of Springfield, and David Aiken of Greenfield.

The four judges of the Superier Court of the city of Boston also vacate their offices at the same time, viz., Charles Allen of Worcester, Chief Justice; Charles P. Hun- tington and Stephen C. -Nash of Boston, Marcus Morton, Jr., of Andover. It is probable, however, that a number of the above will receive appointments upon the Bench of the new Court, which will be composed of eleven judges,

AUCTION SALES.—George Foster sold a pasture of about thirty acres on Monday last for 825 per acre. It is situated on "Boston Hill," and belonged to Charles Cummings. Purchaser, Capt. Nathaniel Stevens, of North Andover. On •Tuesday the " Barker place," belonging to tbe estate of the late Theodore Poor, deceased, was sold at $20.50 per acre to Dea. Peter Smith. It consists of about sixty-eight acres of mowing, tillage, pasture and wood land, situated in the West Parish of this town. On Wednesday a pasture of about twelve acres belonging to the estate of the late Noah Abbott, deceased, situated near Walter S. Kimball's, was sold to Samuel Gunnison, Jr., for $30.50 p«r acre.

LAWRENCE.—The city government pro- pose to have a grand celebration on the 4tb of July, the citizens having had an enthusiastic meeting a few evenings since, and shown a strong inclination thereto. So our citizens can have an opportunity to vent their patriotism without going far from home. —The Court of Common Fleas which has been sitting here for tbe past four weeks, adjourned tine die on Friday last, having disposed of about half the cases on the trial list Judge, Briggs presided for the last time probably.—There was a large gathering of the friends of Temperance in the City Hall on Monday evening the 18th instant, to listen to stirring addresses from Judge Briggs, Hon. A. Huntington, and Col. Thomas A. Parsons.

"

SUPREME COURT.—Hon. E. Rockwood Hoar was qualified as Justice of this Court on Saturday last His commission was read, and he was introduced to the bar by Chief Justice Shaw. The April term of this court commenced on Tuesday, 26th inst, at Salem, Judge Bigelow presiding, and bids fair to be a long one. Several cases of great interest are on the docket.

ROCKPORT CASE OVERRULED Judge Bigelow announced on Tuesday the unani- mous decision of the whole Court setting aside the verdict for the defendents in the caso of James Brown vs. Stephen Perkins and wife, sued for trespass in entering the plaintiff's store and removing and destroying liquors found therein. So the act of 1855 does not give to private parties tbe right to abate a liquor nuisance.

LECTURE.—Mr. John E. Smith, a native of Africa, delivered an interesting lecture in the lower Town Hall, Tuesday evening, in behalf of his native country. He presented his cause in an able manner, to the apparent satisfaction of his audience. His theory is that Africa can be made the great cotton growing country,thereby causing the enormous profits of slavery to vanish.— When this state of things is brought about, the " peculiar institution" itself will speedily " follow suit."

AGRICULTURAL MARKET DAT.—The Trustees of the Essex County Agricultural Society have decided to bold a " Market Day" at South Danvers on Tuesday next, May 3d, for the sale and exchange of cattle and agricultural products.

i — i ■■

PICKEREL.—The embargo on tbe catch- ing of this delicious fish will be raised on Monday next, and all lovers of the piscatory amusement can enjoy themselves ad libitum.

IMPROVEMENT.—We notice that some of our public-spirited citizens are taking sd- vantage of this favorable season for setting out ornamental trees along the sidewalks, and we hope that others will follow this lead in the right direction. 1 ■ i —

HAVEBHILL. — The Haverhill Gazette says that the first salmon of the season was served up at the Eagle House on Saturday last It was caught in the Merrimack between there and Lawrence.—Rev. B. F. Horsford has declined the call extended to him by the North Congregational Church to become their pastor. He cannot see it to be his duty to seek a dissolution of the present pastoral relations.

LOWELL ISLAND HOUSE.—Col. Pollard is making arrangements to open his house the coming season. The steamer Argo is to be supplied with new boilers, and otherwise repaired and painted in good style, and the house is to be thoroughly cleaned and painted. 1 as i

METIIUEN.—Two meetings have already been held on the Bradly Farm between this place and Haverhill for the purpose of es-

SABBATH SCHOOL CONVENTION.—The Annual Sabbath School Convention of the Lowell Association of Baptist Churches met at the Baptist Church in this town on Wednesday last The exercises of the forenoon consisted in reading of letters from the various schools connected with the Con- vention, and listening to the reports of committees. At 12 o'clock the Convention adjourned until 2, in order to partake of a collation served in Mr. Barnard's Furniture ball, opposite the church. In the afternoon an address was delivered by Rev. L. R Smith, of Groton, on the following topic: « The Proximate End of Sabbath School In- struction." During the afternoon proceedings an invitation was received by the Con- vention from Samuel H. Taylor, LL. 1)., to visit the Library, Cabinet and Museum of the Theological Institution. The invitation was accepted, and the convention adjourned and proceeded to the Seminary buildings.— Mr. Taylor (who has himself travelled in Palestine) explained the topography of Je- rusalem from the very large and accurate model of the city and its environs which is contained in tbe Museum of the Seminary. The Sabbath School teachers appeared highly gratified with the exhibition and ex- planations ; and we should judge by the remarks made in addresses given in tbe evening proceedings of the Convention that many of them felt the scenes and incidents in tbe life of our Saviour impressed upon their minds with a vividness and reality not often experienced.

The Convention adjourned at 9 o'clock P. M., to meet on the last Wednesday in April, 1860, in the Third Baptist Church in Lowell. The whole services of the day were exceedingly pleasant and profitable- The collation was admirably got up, and reflected credit on the society.

A meeting of the subscribers to the.brass instruments for the Andover Band, called by public notice, was held on Monday evening last, in the Abbott Village school-room, to choose a committee of supervision over the instruments. Mr. D. Barnie was chosen presiding officer. The following resolutions were offered and unanimously adopted:

Resolved, That the committee consist of five, with power to add to their number— three to be chosen from the subscribers and two from tbe band.

Resolved, That all the instruments be at the School-room, for the inspection of the committee on the first practice night of every month.

Resolved, That in case of the insubordi- nation of any of the members of the band, they shall be expelled by a majority of the band and committee inclusive.

The committee have purchased instruments to the amount of $216. The amount subscribed up to this time is $166—being $50 short of the cost; but tbe committee feel confident from the interest the community has taken in the matter, that the deficiency will soon be made up.

The following are the names of tbe committee : Messrs. James Middleton, George Wishart, Robert Hutchinson, subscribers; Alex. Forbes, Robert Hill.

faesjjimueitfe. Messrs. Editors:—In your last issue was

published what purported to be the present dog law of Massachusetts. In looking over the act there appears to have been some important sections omitted in the abstract given to the public, two of which are as follows:

Sec. 8. "The clerk shall, within one week a/ter the first day of May, annually, post in some conspicuous place, a list of all dogs licensed for the current year; and shall furnish a copy thereof to the chief of police of his city, or one of tbe constables of his town; and shall also, from time to time fnrnish said officers with a list of such dogs as shall be subsequently licensed during the year."

Sec. 8. " A city or town officer refusing or neglecting to perform the duties imposed upon him by this act, shall bo punished by fine not exceeding twenty-five dollars, which shall be paid into the treasury of such city or town.

There are other sections not here cited which did not appear in your paper, but are more or less necessary to a perfect un- derstanding of the law. It would seem that the public should be informed in relation to the duties of the officers who are to carry this law into effect, as well as the duties of citizens who may be so unfortunate as to own dogs, and how tbe community may be legally rid of puppies of whatever degree they may happen to be.

ESSEX, April 25, 1859. Messrs. Editors:—The subject before the

people of Essex at the present time is " small-pox/" Nathan Burnham, 4th, of this town, died with that disease last week, at Grape Island in Ipswich river. His friends in Essex, it is thought, have not been so guarded as they might have been, and there is some danger that the contagion may spread. Mrs. Burnham, mother of tbe young man, was vaccinated, and then went to take care of her son. She had the " kine pox," and is now just breaking out with the small-pox. Our people have been rather careless about vaccination, and are now fully awake to the importance of it

Twenty years ago three persons died in this town of small-pox, and several others had it badly. It was spread then, it is supposed, by a physician of a neighboring town, who was not sufficiently careful. O. H.

The cost of telegraphing the details of the Sickles trial to the associate press of Boston was about one thousand dollars per day. At this rate the expense to the country of raising up such godly instruments of executing the " divine pleasure," (as Mr. Graham will have it), must be something of a bill.

VERDICT.—The jury in the Sickles case, after an hour's consultation, rendered a verdict of " Not guilty." The case was commenced before Judge Crawford on Monday, March 28, and has occupied the attention of the Court and sentiment of the country for twenty days. No one will be surprised at the verdict, as it has been anticipated.

for which he sighed. As a school, wc miss his cheerful face and brotherly sympathy, ready as he was to engage in our joys, and participate in our griefs. As a class, wc mourn his death. As individuals, we feel

Wo will not weep for thee; For thou art now where oft on earth Thy spirit longed to be."

Resolved, That by his decease we are called to mourn the loss of one distinguished among us for his kindnessof heart, his genial sympathy, and his excellence of Christian character.

Resolved, That we earnestly sympathize with his connections and friends in their heavy bereavement. May they recognize in this aflliction the hand of our Heavenly Father, and may the belief and hope of the Christian be their consolation and strength.

Resolved, That the class, as a token of respect to his memory, wear the usual badge of mourning thirty days.

Resolved, That these resolutions be printed in the Andover Advertiser, and copies of them be transmitted to the relatives and friends of the deceased.

HALF THE COST OP TIN 1

WILL LAST TWICE AS LONG I

THIS Roofing is manufactured in rolls about a yard wide and 100 feet lone, already to be

nailed upon the roof, and is easily transported to any port of the country.

The peculiarities of this Roofing are— 1st. ITS OUKAWLITY—Does not wear or decom-

pose by exposure to the weather. •~^Cs 2d. ITS SotrDrrr—Does not run In hot weathor,

grows firmer the longer it issued, and can be walkod upon at any time if necessary.

8d. ITS INCOMBUSTIBILITY—Will not take fire from sparks or cinders, or falling fragments from on adjoining,building on fire.

4th. ITS CONVENIENCE—Being made in rolls, It can be applied rapidly and easily by any person; oan be put on roofs of any shape— steep or flat, and needs no repairs. It is a good non-conductor of heat.

5th. ITS CAEM'KKSB—Costs far less than tin or slate, or even shingles, in most localities, and saves the cost of valleys and gutters in all cases.

A solution of Gutta Percha is also made un- covering over old leaky tin roofs, forming a firm, elastic coat, that will preserve them for many years, and saving the cost of repeated painting.

Samples of the Roofing, pries and any desirable information will be furnished on application to the 'Jutta Percha and Glass Roofing Comp.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

TRtiEi.i.'s.—We can all remember when I. W. Truoll made up hit mind that Lawrence would support an additional dry goods store of the first quality. We can all remember, too, the quiet, neat and convenient store which he rented, and in which he made, without exception, the most tasty and inviting display of goods in the city. He has now ranted a store equal in capacity to any other in the city, and excelled by none for the comfort and convenience whist it affords! to customers. We took occasjn, a few days since, to look in upon him, and to see how he flourished in his new quarters. We found an excellent assortment of rich goods, in all the varieties of style, finish and expense, and saw, to our satisfaction, that our ladles wen bestowing a very liberal patronage in reward for his enterprise and endeavors to meet^hak wishes. So we hope it may ever be. Themsy method for securing an obedience to pubnc wishes and desires, is to favor those who strive to meet them. Mr. Truell's success Is but the legitimate result of enterprise and ability.—Law- rence Sentinel

AX MB—— » siAnrora. When we witness the change of a

sterile soil into a fertile one through the influence of draining, it it conclusive evidence of the value of labor so applied. Such has reoently come to our notice and we shall recall it for our readers.

It not unfrequently happens in hilly or gently undulating districts, that intervals and damp springy soils abound, requiring draining before they can be brought into profitable cultivation. The instance in question was a field of fair surface, quite free from stone, but re- ceiving from more elevated land a con- tinual supply of clear, cold, soft spring water, which ran over nearly the whole surface. The owner, faithless of re- claiming the lot, was yet desirous of collecting the water to supply a reservoir for cattle. This was mainly accomplished by cutting a drain across the slope of land near the upper side of the field, for about a hundred rods in length, which did so much for draining the surface that other ditches were dug, com- pleting the work. The drains were finished with the flat stone usual in such districts, carefully laid and covered with a good coat of straw, before replacing the dirt. Now of the change produced:

A crop never grew upon this lot from the time it was cleared until after it was drained. Water grasses and weeds were the only products; but, since draining, it has produced annually over two tons of hay per acre, without any manure. The appearance of the soil is wholly changed; from a tenacious blue clay, adhering to one's boots like tar, it has become a clear, black, clay loam—just such a soil as always produces remu- nerative crops to the farmer.—Country Gentleman.

LIQUID MANTJIIES.

The Massachusetts Society for the Promotion of Agriculture offered a premium of one hundred and fifty dollars for the best Essay on the Preparation and Application of Manures, and on competition the prize was awarded to Dr. Joseph Reynolds of Concord. The following brief extract treating on Li- quid Manures, we find in the New Eng- land Farmer: " The saving and use of liquid manures is deserving of more attention than it has yet received in this country. It is easy so to arrange the stalls of cattle as to receive their urine into troughs under the floor, and to carry it into a cistern into the cellar, or outside the barn. This may be pumped into a water-cart, to which a sprinkler is attached, similar to those used in wa- tering the streets. If it is pumped in through a strainer, the sprinkling does not become clogged, and it may be rapidly conveyed to the field, and distributed as a top dressing, upon grass or grain, with immediate effect. When the soil is not deficient in carbonaceous elements, there can probably be no better top dressing applied. It is pot as permanent in its effects as the solid ex- crement, but more immediate, and it may only be applied twice a year upon grass, with less expense of labor than one dressing of solid manure. The cost of the necessary apparatus for saving and distributing it is small. As a top dressing for a field where turnips are to be grown, it is very excellent.— As a top dressing in the spring, or during the summer, for pasture lands, it is perhaps superior to any dressing that can be applied. If the undiluted urine be thought too strong, it may be easily diluted in the field, if water is at hand."

VOWX< MABTJB1I.

No manure obtained by the farmer is as valuable as the manure from the poultry house. Of this there is no question, and yet we can hardly answer the question," in what way is it best to use it ?" This manure is made only in small quantities, and it may be true, that as a general thing much of it is wasted. It may be thrown with other manure, muck and refuse on the com- post heap, but our plan is to save'it for special purposes, and we generally use it in the vegetable garden, where it is not only valuable but exceedingly convenient. When dry, it may, be sown with onion or other seeds in the drills, at planting time, and four or five quarts put into a barrel of rain water makes a most superb liquid manure for buds or young plants that need stimulating. In this form we use it for our melons and cucumbers, as soon as they appear above ground, to put them out of the way of bugs, and on beds of cabbages, cauliflower plants, etc., for the same purpose. Celery plants, after being set out in the trenches, may be hurried up amazingly by being watered two or three times a week with this liquid food. If magnificent sweet corn is wanted, half a pint of dry hen-dung, finely scattered in each hill, will give it, and no mistake. If you have been able to grow only hard, hot, wormy radishes, this spring sow the seed in very shal- low drills, (not too early), in a warm, sheltered place, then cover the bed with a thin dressing of coal ashes, and water with the liquid hen manure each alternate night; and if the season is as favorable as ordinary, you will have no cause to repent the trial. A little charcoal dust is better than cool ashes.— Rural New Yorker.

AGE OF 8HEEP FOB MUTTON.—A late English writer, in renikrJting on this subject says, " A sheep lo be in high order for the palate of the epicure, should not be killed earlier than when five years old, at which age the mutton will be rich and succulent, of a dark color, and full of the richest gravy; whereas if only two years old, it is flabby, pale and flavorless."

GRAHAM BREAD. — One quart of milk scalded; one quart Graham flour ; add half a cup of good molasses while stirring it—then bake slowly about an hour.

RADISH—ONION.—A good method to pursue to obtain radishes free from worms is to mix seeds of the Early Olive Radish with that of the onion, sowing them together; that is, in a bed requiring two ounces of onion seed, mix one-half an ounce of the radish. We find that in pulling those roots, it does not seemingly interfere with or injure the onion. The onion we should sow, and would cotrimend for table use, is the Early Weathersfield Red; it is milder flavored and a more delicate variety than the Danvers Thick or the Common Yellow, and altogether the best variety for eating. The root is of the form and size of the other varieties. —N. E. Far.

FORCING MELONS, &O.—One of the best methods we have found to raise early plants of the melon and cucum- ber, under glass, is to take sods from three to five inches thick, soak them some twelve hours or more in liquid manure, and then plunge them, grass down, into the bed, then insert three or four seeds in each sod, where they can afterwards be transplanted with the sod, without disturbing the roots. — Matt. Ploughman. I mmm i

CURE FOR POTATO ROT.—Mr. Rob- ert French, of East Haverhill, N. H., states that the potato grown from seed that has been soaked one hour in blue vitrol water, will not rot. His recipe is " one fourth of a pound of blue vitrol dissolved in three parts of water; cut tlie potatoes and soak them in the solution one hour, and then plant them.— Tliey will germinate readily, and their vines will not blast, nor their tubers rot."
