POETRY.
Children called to Christ.
BY R. M. M’CBEYNE.
Like mist on the mountain,
Like ships on the sea,
So swiftly the years
Os our pilgrimage flee;
In the grave of our fathers
How soon we shall lie.
Dear children, to-day
To a Saviour fly.
How sweet are the flow’rets
In April and May;
But often the frost makes
Them whither away.
Like flowers you may fade ;
Are you ready to die ?
While “yet there is room,’’
To a Saviour fly.
When Samuel was young,
He first knew the Lord;
He slept in His smile
And rejoiced in His word.
So most of God’s children
Are early brought nigh.
Oh, seek him in youth ;
To a Saviour fly.
Do you ask me for pleasure ?
Then lean on his breast,
For there the sin-laden
And weary find rest;
In the valley of death
You will triumphing cry,
If this be called dying,
’Tis pleasant to die !
From the Child’s Paper.
Good Night.
Good-night, little star ;
From my little low bed
I see you are shining
Over my head.
Are you the bright star
That once led the wise men
To the babe in the manger,
At Bethlehem?
And will you, good star,
Lead one little as I
To the blessed Lord Jesus,
Up in the sky ?
Oh, I hav’nt got leave
From my own dear mamma
To go with you just now,
Dear little star :
But will you not please,
Please to carry my prayer
To the blessed Lord Jesus,
Up in the air?
And will you fetch back
His kind blessing to me ?
Good, good-night, little star,
I do n’t you see.
AGRICULTURAL.
From the Cotton Planter.
Grass is Flesh.
Dr. Cloud —Dear Sir: —Asa zealous
friend of Southern rural economy, and
especially in one department of it
which is constantly defective, I beg
through your Journal, to bring prom
inently before the public mind, some
very interesting facts, published in the
February number of the Southern
Planter.
The article embracing these facts, is
from the papers of the Piedmont Fau
quier Agricultural Club, and gives
results of grazing cattle by X. Lough
borough, Esq.
The record states, that Mr Loughbo
rough bad on baud on the 16th ot De
cember last, fourteen bullocks, for
which lie had a standing offer of SBO pr.
head. But the material facts which
claim attention are, that these cattle,
part of a lot of 40, were all put on 100
acres of sod, on 22d ‘day ot April last,
the grass having sprung very little at
that time. The forty head of cattle
were fed exclusively on this 100 acres
of sod, 27 acres of which was 21 years
old; 50 acres 9 years old, grass alone,
in this field, gained in weight from 22d
April to 15 December, 511 lbs. each.
The other gained in proportion we pre
sume from the statement. As there
were 40 head on 100 acres, each ani
mal had 21-2 acres of grazing surface
511 lbs. divided by 2 1-2 gives 204 2-5
lbs. ‘of flesh per acre. The nett profit
however, is put down at $27 per head
on the beeves, which divided by 21-2
gives slo.Boc per acre, or an interest
or profit of 15 2-3 per cent, on $65 per
acre; and this too without any wear or
tear or deterioration of the soil. How
many cotton plantations will nett so
large a profit on lands, estimated at
S2O and S3O per acre, and subjected
besides to modes of cultivation by
which they are annually being impov
erished. But it may he objected by
the cotton planter, who is easy in his
old habits and indisposed to incur any
trouble by innovation or reformation,
that our climate is not adapted to the
grasses, as is that of the mountains of
Virginia. To such it may be replied,
that the grasses are as numerous and as
various as the climates. There are few
districts which are not adapted to the
growth of some of them, or of grains
or herbaceous plants forming a good
substitute, and it is well worthy the
exertions and the enterprise of the in
telligent planters, to seek diligently
for those, which a kind Providence has
designed for lift locality.
who among us, has satisfied him
self that 2 2-1 acres Bermuda grass, or
Crab or Crowsfoot or Guinea grass, or
some of the native meadow grasses,
will not in one season make 511 lbs of
good beef, or mutton, or pork ? And
be it remembered, that with those
grasses, permanent pastures may be
made on $5 and $lO lands. These are
for summer pasturage, but winter and
spring grazing may be supplied by
millet, barley and rye. bo that where
clover and the artificial grasses will
not flourish, there are still ample re
sources, for such as will seek them.
The great fault is, that the grasses are
not properly appreciated by Southern
planters, and as a consequence, every
acre of good soil must be appropriated
by cotton or corn. If a purchase is
made of lands, a proportionate amount
of dear labor must be added, so that
every additional acre shall be in hoe
• crops. But lam departing from the
object of my communication, which
was to show our agricultural public,
by incontrovertible facts, £hat Grass
it Flesh, and thereby induce them pro
perly to appreciate the former. _ And
as a further inducement,, at the risk of
being considered egotistical, I will say
that I have for years, from a perma
nent clover pasture, realized greater
results in flesh per acre, than did Mr,
Loughborough from 2 1-2 acres.
Yours truly,
Greensboro’, 1858. J. Cboom.
Tooth Ache. —If from a deranged
stomach, take an emetic. If the tooth
is hollow put cotton saturated with
creosote —if badly diseased have it
extracted promptly.
Ear Ache. —Mix spirits of cam
phor, sweet oil and laudanum together,
warm, and pour into the ear a half
teaspoonful, fill the ear with wool or
cotton, warm a little bag of bran, and
lie down with your ear on it.
Sore Throat —A wet compress, worn
a few hours will often relieve it; if se
vere, a pepper or dog-fennel poultice,
worn until smart irritation is produced,
will soon relieve. From time to time
swallow a pinch of the following pow
der. Mix well together 10 grains of
ippecac, 20 gr. salt petre, 40 gr. of loaf
sugar.
Croup. —Vomit the sufferer prompt
ly, with antimonial wine, (a tea spoon
ful every 10 or 15 min. until it is ef
fective,) or any emetic.—When none
is at hand, a poultice sprinkled strong
ly with snuff, will be a speedy remedy,
but it produces a dreadful nausea.
Our space lias been filled with hints
on accidents and diseases that must
have treatment before a physician can
be readily procured. We close with
directions for some little articles often
needed, and a few receipts for cookery
for the sick, remarking that entire ab
stinence from food is generally more
conducive to convalesence than the
most tempting food.
BLISTERS.
Cut a piece of stout cloth the size
you wish to blister. Spread it smooth
ly with Spanish flies, lay over it a
piece of gauze, dip it in vinegar, warm
it and lay it on until the skin looks
shriveled or rises. Crush some cab-;
bage leaves or plaintains, with a roll i
ing pin ; scald them until soft; cool
them. Take off the plaster, prick the
blister with a large needle,’ wipe the
water discharged and lay on the leaves.
Repeat this dressing twice a day until
you wish the blister healed. Dress
then with a creamed cloth.
POULTICES.
Grate a tea cup full of line crumbs
of light bread, pour on it boiling wa
ter, let it steep 10 minutes, spread it
smoothly on a piece of thick, cotton
cloth. If you need a mustard or pep
per poultice, just sprinkle thickly the
surface of a light bread poultice, with
the powder of either article. If need
ed very strong, as active counter irri
tants, they must be made by mixing
them-with about one-half of common
flour.
Slippery elm, onion, or any vegeta
ble poultice is made by reducing the
substance to a pulpy paste.
EMETICS.
A table spoon of mustard and tea
spoon of salt, mixed in warm water is
a safe emetic. From 20 to 30 grains
of ippecac mixed in warm water and
drank at intervals is the usual one. —
Warm water alone will do.
DIET FOB THE SICK.
Gruel. —Two table spoons of corn
meal, mixed to a smooth paste, in a
little water; pour it into a quart of boil
ing water; boil down until it is as thick
as cream and tastes done. Season with
salt and pepper, or sugar and nutmeg.
Porridge, is made of wheat flour,
as above, with a spoonful of sweet
cream added.
Ponado . —Break a howl half full of
crackers or good light bread, pour it
into boiling water, season with sugar
and whole spice and a spoonful of wine,
if stimulants are allowed. -
~JUVENILE ItKI'AHTMKM.
A Troublesome Visiter.
When a person is about to enter up
on any great and important underta
king, he prepares his mind for it.—
Then, while looking at the world face
to face, he is most apt to be tried with
doubts about bis firmness, or most
tempted to give it up altogether.—
When Moses was to become a lawgiver
k> the people of Israel, he went to
Mount Sinai, and spent forty days in
preparing for it. V ith what zeal and
energy he then undertook the work.
So” before the Son of God entered
upon His public labors to save a world,
He went into the wilderness and spent
forty days in fasting and prayer. Do
you know what happened while He
was there alone ? The devil, that great
enemy of good, found Him out. You
remember be wormed himself into the
garden of Eden, and by his lying ad
vice, ruined our first parents. He
knew Jesus was the Son of God; and
be knew the Son of God came to re
pair the ruin that Satan had wrought,
and determined to ruin Him.
So the devil went to Jesus in the
wilderness when He was hungry and
alone. What did he do? First he
tried to make Him doubt the fatherly
love of God. I suppose he pretended
to pity the Son of God, and he said,
When you are so hungry, why do you
not turn these stones into bread ? you
can do it. And how did Jesus answer
him? By a verse from the Bible,
which meant, Bread is not everything;
Godfe if He sees best, can preserve our
lives by other things, if we trust in
Him. You see here how the devil
likes to take advantage of our circum
stances. If you are poor, he will
tempt you to complain of God; if you
are in want, he tempts you to steal.—
But remember that the Son of God was
tempted just so, that He might feel
for you. He knows all about it; but
He had a holy strength which resisted
the sin, and that holy strength He will
give you, if yo\i go to Him for it. Go.
“ Ask, and ye shall receive.”
Disappointed in this attempt, the
devil then took Jesus upon the high
pinnacle of the temple in Jerusalem,
and said, If you really are the Son of
God, you can throw yourself down,
and it won’t hurt you. God will take
care of you. What did Jesus answer?
He again quoted a verse from the Bi
ble : “Thou shalt not tempt the Lord
thy God.” lam sure it must be the
best way of meeting temptation, to
confront it with Bible truth, which is
the word of God. The verse means
that we must not rush into danger, ex
pecting God to take care of us. This
is sometimes called “ tempting Provi
dence.” God does not promise to be
friend the fool-bardy, or work miracles
to save us from the consequences of
our rashness.
What did Satan do next ? He led
Jesus to the top of a high mountain,
and showed him the beautiful land
which stretched off in every direction
—cities and villages, fruitful fields,
lakes and rivers, and lovely landscapes.
“ All these I will give yon,” said Sa
tan, “if you will fall down and wor
ship me.” Wliat a bold offer! Just
as if lie had the right to give them
away. Hot he. But, you know, he
is the father of lies. He has made ev
er so many just such promises since
then. He made such promises to Ju
lius Caesar and to Bonaparte. They
gave themselves up to blood and* rol>
bery. But did be do as lie promised ?
They indeed got many kingdoms, but
they bad no power to keep them. —
God is stronger than the devil, and. he
can deprive us of our ill-gotten, gains.
I)o you remember how true this was
in the case of Caesar and Bonaparte ?
But what did Jesus answer? “ Get
thee behind me, Satan ; for it is writ
ten, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy
God, and Him only shalt thou serve.”
Oh, what an answer was that! It
drove the devil off v Then angels came
to comfort the Son of God. They
brought Him sweet food, and took
sweet counsel. Oh, what a delightful
interview must that have been be
tween the Son of God and His heav
enly visitors!
Does it seem strange that God’s own
Son should have been troubled and
tempted by the “wicked one?” He
came to earth in human form on pur
pose to become “acquainted witli our
griefs,” and “ carry our sorrows,” and
| in that way to invite our confidence,
| and draw us to unbosom our trials, be
they little or great, to His sympathi
zing love. He was, you see, “in all
points tempted like as we are, and yet
without sin.” How precious to have
a heavenly friend, even the Son of
God, understand us just as we are!
Philip Henry, a wise and holy min
ister, used to teach his children the
following words:
“ I take God to be my cliiefest good
and highest end. I take Christ to be
my Prince and Saviqur. I take the
Holy Ghost to be my rule in all my
actions, and the people of God to be
my people in all conditions. I do
likewise dedicate unto the Lord my
whole self, all I am, all I have, and all
I can do. And this I d(f deliberately,
sincerely, freely, and forever.”
Every Sabbath evening each-of
them slowly repeated these solemn
words after their recitation in the cat
echism, he putting his amen to it, and
sometimes adding,
“ So say and so do, and you are made
forever.”
And never was there a family more
lovely and distinguished for its piety.

Pevival in a Printing Office. —Pray-
er meetings have been held daily at
one of the larger printing-offices in N.
York city since the 6th of March, with
increasing interest. At tlie commence
ment of the meetings there were but
four or five converts, with a very few
participants, and now the number
ranges as high as twelve or fourteen.
The interest manifested at these meet
ings is very great. One of the recent
converts says, “What are we to ex
pect, when printing offices are conver
ted into religious chapels? It is, as far
as my knowledge extends, unpreceden
ted in the history of any country, and
will, no doubt, astonish many a reader.’
j As the meetings are held between the
hours of 12 and 1 o’clock, some of the

—For some time past it had been observed
that a splendid tiger in the menagerie of John
Robinson, whose animals have been wintering
here, was suffering from pain in the forefeet,
and it was finally concluded that the claws
were growing upward into the flesh. On Wed
nesday preparations were made for removing
the claws. Ropes were passed around the
body of the auimal, by means of which he was
hoisted from his feet and suspended from the
top of his cage. Another rope was then slip
ped arouni each fore-paw, which was pulled
out of the cage between the iron bars. By
means of instruments, the claws on the fore
feet were then removed, and it was found that
two or three of them had grown up in the flesh
nearly half an inch, and others a less distance.

THEODOSIA MOKE BEAUTIFUL AND VALUA
BLE THAN EVER !
THEODOSIA—voIume I—enlarged and illustra
ted—is just issued from the press of the South
Western Publishing House. To the original work
has been added the history of the conviction, con
version and baptism of Pastor Johnson. Theodo
sia’s old Minister, and the whole work is hand
somely illustrated. The value of the book, as a
denominational work, and its beauty and attrac
tiveness have been materially increased by a heavy
outlay by the Publishers, and yet nothing has been
added to the cost —price one dollar, sent by mail.
Will not parents present a copy of this edition
of Theodosia to each one of their children ? It will
be a valuable present, and who can tell the influ
ence it may exert over them, and others through
them ?
Will not every Baptist sister purchase this edi
tion for her parlor, that visitors may form the ac
quaintance with Theodosia, and the circumstances
attending Pastor Johnson’s baptism.
Agents and Booksellers will find they can sell
double the number of this edition than any former
one.

WE have been borne through the pages of this
book with unflagging interest Like Theo
dosia Ernest, it is designed for the illustration and
defense of our denominational principles ; and
without detracting in the slightest from the envia
ble reputation of that work, we do not hesitate to
pronounce this more ornate in style, more artistic
in plot ; more thrilling in interest. It cannot tail

ol order.

every third stitch is cut.
4. It is not a Shuttle Machine.
5. It sews with two needles, making any iengtl
stitch desired.
6. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus
all trouble of winding thread is avoided ; while the
same Machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a
mere change of spools, to all varieties of work.
7. The same Machine runs silk or linen thread,
and common spool cotton, with equal fuciliiy.
8. This Machine will sew in the slieves ol a coat
with the same ease andfacility that it sewsa straight
seam.
9. This Machine can be run to make one thou
sand five hundred stitches per minute. 4
10. The seams are elastic as the most elastic
fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break in
washing, ironing or otherwise.
11. The stitches made by this machine are mote
beautiful than any other made either by hand oi
machine. For sale by
