His name is not known to me. but the spot, now the abode of strangers, is full of deep nnd painful interest as the early homo of one whose story I am about to tell. Charles L was the son of a wealthy man ofbusiness in thcciiyofNew York. His parents were neither of thorn Christians, but their associ ations were chiefly among religious friends, nnd their social and domestic relations were governed by a rigid regard to sound morals. Charles was an only son.

Grown up to youth, full of spirits nnd fond of pleasure, Charles was the life of the circle of young com- panions that guthered around him. Generous to u fault, and supplied too freely by his fuihor with spending money, he had both (ho disposition and the moans to indulge himself and others in those amusements that lay the foundation for future vice, and spread flowers in the pathway to eternal ruin. Long before he left college, he had distinguish ed himself in the ball room fur more than in his class ; and he was fur more ambitious to obtain conquests in the halls of fashionable folly than iu the fields of learning, or the world of fame. Pas- sionately fond of dancing, he pursued it with en. thu.siasin.at the risk of health and reputation, nnd regardless of the kind advice which reflecting friends wasted upon him. While Charles was in college, his father pur chased the beautiful place on the East River to which I have already referred, for a summer resi dence. His winters wero passed in the city, and when Charles came home, with no taste for the drudgery of professional life, and no fitness for business, he was installed in his father’s countin rors, nnd revelled in his cries and groans. It was with great difficulty that strong men could keep him on his couch of anguish. Me was determined to fiy from the monsters that had gathered in troops about him. Seizing his opportunity when their attention was for u moment diverted, ho leaped from the bed, by the side of which sat his parents, wrinkled and gray, but not with nge, and his own young ivifo with their only child iu her arms ; he broke away from the attendants who vainly strove to hold him back ; be rushed from his chamber into the streets of the city, nnd thero in his nakedness and madness, ruved like a devil escaped from hell. They caught him and forced him into the house, but cjuld not compel him to lie down. He stood in the middle of his chamber, struggling fearfully wiih friends who gathered around him to pacify his maniac frenzy. His wife fell on his nock, nnd implored him by his love for her and his darling boy, to lie down and be still, till the storm that raged in his brain should pas9 by. But no tears, no prayers, no force would quiet him in that wild hour. Ho stood and struggled fiercely with phantoms, and raved of devils and the damned. An unearthly brightness lighted up his face, us he exclaimed , “I am ready now ; l’|| go, l’|| go and he stood—• a corpse ! They laid him on the bod, aud closed his eyes forever. Such was the enreer and fate of one whom I knew and loved. He was a prodigal Son.

It is true, unquestionably, that tlie rose by any other name would smell tis sweet; and it ought to be true that the intrinsic merit of any measure, however it may be styled, should ensure its adoption. But it is not so. Men’s prejudices are stronger than their judgments. “Aye,” said nn old politician, reading a port of a speech delivered by Roger Sherman, without kr forcibly on this, und illustrates it in the following happy manner. He is speaking of the use of the names Federal and Federalist. “Numesarcall powerful in political contests.— Well do the modern Democrats know the force nnd truth of this remark, hence they not only hold to the respectable name of Democrat, but with one voice they stamp their opponents with the name sures. They abandon and adopt measures them selves ut pleasure ;—at one time for a national time for the with the strong authority ol an injured father, led \ of Federalist, und their measures n9 Federal men- him home, nnd watched by his bedside till the morning light, that with the first return of con. 1 sciousness he might extort n premiso of reform, j bunk, at another aguinst it.

Intemperance hud marked him ( democratic. But the moment they abandon it Tor for his prey. This was some years ago. in the 1 morning of the great temperance reformation which lias since so signally and gloriously blessed our country ami the world. And when he was persuaded by the united entreaties of his parents j se n sc t 0 J 00 k beyond it and friends to pledge himself to abstain from “ar dent spirits,” the smile of hope was seen on a mother’s faded cheek, and a mountain weight was removed from his father’s heart.

The appetite be came a passion, the passion became a mania.— Hilly I'anr's Escape from Ilungiug. Many years ago, during the administration of Gov. Poindoxter in the State of Miss ssippi, there resided in the northern part of that State, n good Matured, honest sort of a fellow of the namo of Wil. dam Fune, or. as ho was familiarly called, Billy Fane. Billy wns fond of whiskey, and. when under its potent und debasing influence, sometimes be came annoying to those about him. It happened on a bright summer’s day in the month of August, that Biily found himself in the store of Joshua Pet- tingale dc Co. and Joshua Pettiognle & Co. found Billy exceedingly noisy and troublesome, und forth* with tumbled inm out of the door into the highway. He reeled to the shade of a neighboring tree, und stretched himself ut (till leugth on the green turf, soon wus fast asleep. Dinner time came and Pet* tingale & Co. left the store for their dwelling, af- ter slightly lustening the door; in the mean time, Billy awoke, a good deal sobered by his long nap in liie open air, and entertained serious thoughts of proceeding homeward, when ho discovered his hat was missing. To go to Ihe store, try the door, and after finding it fust, with gentle force urging it open to pick his hat from the floor, put it on and straight, way sturt for home, w as the work of a very few mo. meats. Now, when the worthy venders of vurious commodities returned to their warehouse, they were astonished to find the door unfastened and »jnr. They looked to their lank shelves to see if iny of their wares and merchandise wero missing; they sought the slumbering Billy, but lie had fled. The flight of poor Billv was confirmation strong t hat ho was the culprit, and in less than no time n constable wus despatched with a warrant from Jus- lice Noodlebury for his immediate arrest. Tho countable found Bihy quietly at work on his little st rip of land, nnd informing him of his business, b.ide him follow on to the domicil of tho worthy magistrate. Mr. Justice of the Peace, Noodlebury w is one of your sedate, gooJ-natured, benevolen t und very lunest men, but was not half ns well ac- qudinted with the luw, as tho late Judge of the Criminal Court in Mississippi, aud when Billy was ushered iut> his presence, ho wus seated in un old fashioned armchair, with writing materials and a hou nd voluiic containing the laws of the State, be- fore him. There was no counsel on cither side. Messrs. Petlingnle Co. told their story, which wo* corroborated by several witnesses,two of whom saw Billy*s forcibly entry into their premises, nnd then Billy laid his tale, iu his plain straight for- ward way. After the parties hud been heard, the justice pondered long und thoughtfully. The cuse was a clear one, and Biily Fane wus undoubtedly guilty of burglary ! The squire put on spectacles on nose und lurning to the law relative to the case, to his horror found tho punishment was death, and not knowing there w as any such thing as trial by jury, after some preliminary remarks, proceeded to sentence Billy to be hung on a certain day. Billy of course remonstrated, but th£ justice told him that though he believed he had spoken the truth in rela tion to tho utluir, yet by the letter of the law he was guilty of burglary, and the penalty of the law was death to any person convicted thereof. There were no jails iu that portion of tho State, at that time, and Billy returned to his home with a sorrowing heart. Tho curesses of his wife nnd the innocent prattle of the Juvenile Fanes failed to rousehim from the deep dejection of spirits he hud fallen into. He knew only, that on acertuin day he had got to go and be hung, and that caused him exceeding disquietude. lie strove to labor in his field for a day or two, but the horror of his situation .rendered him powerless. The day fixed for his Execution drew on apace, and Billy’s anxiety of mind wus horrible. Unable any longer to bear up indor tbe thoughts that oppressed him, he went to t ho magistrate to learn if anything could possibly I ie done to save his neck from the halier. The quire condoled with him, conimisserated his hard I He, and expressed deep sorrow that the stem man- d hto of the law required u sacrifice so great; but lere was the law, aud he, its sworn adminisin'tor, )n!d do nothing but see its requirements fulfilled. S quire Noodiebury could devise no way to sn.ve Billy, ui less on a fair representation of \ no case being made to the Governor, he should in terposc the Executive clemency and par- him. Accordingly he made a fair state meat of the case, vouching for Biily’s honerty, and regretting the necessity that had compelled hi in to pass sentence of death on him, begged his e? :ceilcncy to pardon him. The next day saw Billy Fane mounted on a stout g jlding, making his way with all convenient speed to. the capital, some four days ride distant, to en* '.euvor to procure a pardon from the Govern*)!.— \rrived at the Governor’s house, Billy entered, ibund his Excellency at home, and with great hu mility ban-ed him Squire Noodlebury’s letter.— The Governor read it attentively, and with great difficulty suppressed the rising mirth which the ludicrousness of tho affair provoked. Excus ing himself for a moment, “Old Poins” retired to a shaded grass plot near his mansion, and rolling on the ground gave vent lo n loud and continuous vol ley of cachinations that could no longer be suppres sed, nnd when he wns ubleto resume his gravity nnd usual dignity of demeanor, returned lo the anxious culprit and wrote him an unconditional pardon, aud after writing a note to the worthy Squire, inform, i.ng him of tlie fuel tint every citizen accused of • Jrime. was entitled to a tr»al by a jury of his peers, ilanded them both to Billy, and sunt him on his Homeward course rejoicing in his narrow escape from hanging. hie jet of water was squirted full in their faces—a ory just, though not very severe retribution. heard the ham. nt 4 ••’clock in The rest of the story is ! the morning.

Knavkof Hearts.—A fellow in Connecticut has lately been convicted of marrying six wives. Government ok the Passions.—Youth should enterprise nothing without the advice of ngc ; for i hough youth is fittest for action, yet uge is best for counsel. Young persons should not only embrace the ad monitions and instructions of the aged, but also imitate their virtues and shun their vices. Youth is full of heat nnd vigor, of courage and resolution, to enterprise and effect difficult things, which mokes them very fit for practice und action, for though they are had al counsel, they ore ndiriir- p.hle at execution, when their heart is well direct- ud. Zeno, of all virtues tnude choice of silence, for thereby ho saw others* imperfections, and conceal- ed his own. Let us ruthor consider what we oug’U to do our- selves than heaiken after the doings of others. The H'.ories of our neighbor’s errors tend but lit. tie to tlie reformation of our own. Passion makes them tools which otherwise are not so, und shows them to be fools which are so. Plato, speaking of passionate persons, soys : They are like men w ho stand On their lieuds ; they see ail things the wrong way. Anger comes sometimes upon u*», but wo go nf- t*sner to it; und instead of rejecting if, we call it ; yet it is a vice thut carries with it neither pleasure nor profit, neither honm nor security. Tho first step to moderation, is to perceive that we are falling into a passion. (Joe saying to Dio. genes, after a fellow hud spit in his face—This af. front, sure will make you angry: No, said lie, but [ am thinking whether 1 ought not to bo so. A Tasty Bachelor.—A young bachelor, in Lafourche, La., who proposed tor tho daughter of h wealthy planter in that parish, insisted, in his loiter to her lather, on receiving n sugar plantation which the other owned ; for, added the gallant, “I should like to take my wife as I do my coffee— well sweetened !” THINGS a FA KM Ell OUGHT NOT TO DU, - 1. A Farmer should never undertuke to cum** vale more than he can do thoroughly ;—half tilled land is growing poorer—when well tilled, it is con stantly improving. 2. A Farmer should never} keep more cattle, horses, sheep or hogs, than he can keep in good or* der ; an animal in high order ihe first of December | is already half wintered. 3. A Funner should never depend on his neigh bor, for what he cun, by care and good manage ment, produce on his own farm; ho should never beg fruit while lie can plant trees, nor borrow tools when he can make or buy; a high authority has said the borrower is a servant to the louder. 4. Tho Farmer should never be so immersed in political matters us to forget to sow his wheat, dig ids potatoes and bank up his cellar; nor should he he so iuuttentive to them as to be ignorant of those great questions of national and state policy which will ulwnys agitate, more or less, a free people. 5. A Farmer should avoid ns much us possible doing business through the agency of bunks or mo- neyed institutions : the earth is tho best hunk of depositc, and yields the most sure and substantial interest. 6- A Farmer should never be ashamed of his calling ; we know that no man enn be entirely in dependent, yet the farmer should remember thut if any one issuid to possess that enviable distinction he is the man. , 7. No Funner should allow tho reproach of neg lected education to lie against himself or family ; if knowledge is power, the beginning should be early nnd deeply laid in the district school. 8. A Farmer should never U3e ardent spirits ns a drink'; if. while undergoing severe fatigue nnd tho labor of the Summer, he would enjoy robust health let him be a tee-totnller. 9. A Farmer should never refuse n fair price for anything lie wants to sell ; we have known a man who hud several hundred bushels of wheat to dispose of, refuse 81. because be wanted 81,03, and after keeping his wheat six months, wus glud to get 73 cents lor it. 10- A Farmer should never allow his wood house to he empty of wood during the summer sea son ; if he does, when winter comes, in addition to cold he must expect to encounter the chiiling looks of his wife,‘ s nnd perhaps bo compelled iu a aeries of lectures, to learn that the man w ho burns green wood bus not mastered the first rudiments of domestic economy. 11. A Fanner should never allow a window to be filled with red cloaks, tattered coats, und old huts; if ho does, he will most assuredly acquire tho reputation of a man who tarries long at tho whiskey, leaving his w ife and children to starve al home. 12. A Farmer ought to subscribe for one or more newspapers, that himself nnd family may bo intelligent, and acquainted with the events transpir ing around them ; for knowledge is wealth, power and happiness. And while he reads his paper in the rr.idst of plenty, let him remember that the prin ter who labors for his comfort, will also want food and raiment; Treatment of Cows—Gutter .Mnkiuc* Change of Pastures.—To insure the product lion of the largest quantity of butter, a frequent change of pasture is required. A farm should be so fenced that the crows can bo changed into a very different lot every four or live days. Salting.—A constant and full supply of salt should lie before our cows iu some secure place* Tney will cal moderately what they require. If only occasionally furnished, they often take it in quantities so large, us to act medicinally to their mjuiy. It corrects almost any bad quality of the milk, arising from eating of aromatic or bitter herbs and ulso much of the natural animal odor, that fre quently impairs the sweetness of butter. Driving and kind treatment.—Many a faithful cow has been seriously injured by u careless boy driving her iuriously to nnd irom pasture. All liursh treatment of any kind, as scolding, striking, kicking, &c., is ail detrimental. 1 have known many cows rendered worthless from those causes. The utmost kindness of manner must bo shown on the part of those who inunuge our stock. Milking.—This process should be done system atically. ut regular periods of the day. Sunrise and sunset are perhaps the best periods, lor immediately after one and before the other, cows in hot weather feed to the best advantage. They are so much creatures of habit that the milker should bo chnng. ed, as rarely as possible. A stranger in always re garded as an unwelcome visiter, by a milch cow. Cleanliness with the utensils.—The pans, pails, Strainers, bowls, churn and every implement em ployed in butter making, must not only he well wushed, but they must bo thoroughly scalded with boiling hot wuter, und bo perfectly dried after- wurds, either iu the sun or before the fire. This must be rej.euted every time they are used. Mere ly pouring boiling water upon tiicm when loaded with sour milk or cream, will only serve to scald m the bad flavor, if l muy use the expression. Wash them at first, and then scald them thorough, ly, if you would have sweet butter. There are certain filthy practices which slatterns full into, that should be correc ted ; such as wet ting tho cow’s teats with milk, and permitting it to drop into the pail ; milking in the morn ing without washing their hands, Arc. Mill: house and buttery.—In hot weather a good spring i.ouse is necessary for the making of butter. It must be constructed ol either brick or stone, and in no instance uf wood, as that article never fails in such a situation, to become mouldy, und impair the flavor of butter. It must be built so that it cun be thoroughly ventilated. A window should bo placed on the north, east and west sides, which must be furnished on the outside with wire gauze screens, and on tho inside with tight shutters. During the day, the shutters must be closed, and ut night must be raised. A spring may be dispensed with —-und it is even problematical whether it does not, upon tho whole, Jo ns much injury by imparting dampness, us it does good by lowering the temperature. A well constructed house without tlie spring, will answer the purpose. It should bn shaded with trees or ar bor* (if grape vines. All mouldy aud decaying wood.work, boards, boxes, Ate. must be kept out of it ; also all foreign substances. The ait of my spring house was ruined for a week or more, mere ly by placing in it a few mackerel. Skimming the Milk.—In hut weather the milk may be allowed to curdle before this operation is performed, but if it be delayed any longer, a thin, watery fluid will form between the milk und tho cream after which tho goo I qualities htc inevita- ably destroyed. It is necessary, iu midsummer, to skim the milk every morning and uigiit. '( his point must receive the strictest atteminn. Neg lect ofit often gives a streaked or mottled appear ance to butter, as well as impairs it* flavor. Cream.—As soon os it is collected, it should be placed io a stone crock, which should either be hung into a well, nr set up to the brim ill the spring within the milk house. Clurning.—This operation must be resorted to as soon as a supply of cream is obtained, and in hot weather cannot safely be delayed beyond the third day. A variety of patent churns have been palmed upon the public, none of which, we beliove, is to bo preferred to the old fashioned upright dasher, or the bnriel. Working of Butter.—This must be repeated un til every drop of the butter«milk is expelled ; twice or three times will bo necessary, nor must it bo delayed too long, till a change begins to take place in the remaining buttermilk, as that will im pair the flavor of the butter, which no subsequent treatment can restore. Salting.—The salt should be addod at ihe com- menccment of tho first working. Much (four western butter is injured by the employment ol tlit- common New York Suit. The finest ground ar ticles should he obtained in sacks, of our merchants, at u reasonable price.—Cleveland Herald. An Extraordinary Mechanic.—In the to . of A lyth, In Scotland, thero lately lived a man of much provincial celebrity, of the nnnio of James Sandy. Tho originality of genius and eccentrici ty of character which distinguished this remarkable person have rarely been surpassed. Deprived ut j an early age of the use of his legs, he contrived by dint of ingenuity,not only to pass his time ngrceaoi i, but to render himself an useful member of soc.i ly. He soon displayed a taa'.c for mechanical pursuits, and contrived as a workshop for his operations a sort of circular bed, the sides of w hich being raised about eighteen inches above tlie clothes, were em ployed as a platform for turning lathes, tables, vices and tools of all kinds, llis genius for practical me chanics was universul. He was skilled in u!i sorts of turning, nnd constructed several very curious lathes, as well as clocks und musical instruments of every description, no less admired for the sweet ness of their tone than the elegance of their execu tion. He excelled, too, in the construction of o,*ti cal instruments, and mndo some reflecting tele scopes; the specula of which wore not inferior lu those finished by tlie most eminent London artists. He suggested some improvement in t!us machinery for spinning flux ; and, we believe, he was the first w ho made the wooden jointed snuff-boxe s, general, ly called Laurence kirk boxes, some of which fab ricated by'.his self-taught artist, were purchased and sent as presents to the Royal Family. To his other knowledge lie added an accurate knowledge of drawing and engraving. unJ in both of thesi. tuts produced specimens of tho highest excellence For upwards of fifty years he quitted his bed only three times, and on these occasions his house was either inundated with water or threatened with danger from fire. His curiosity, which was unbounded, prompted him to hatch different kinds of hiid’s eggs by the natural warmth of his body, and ho af. terwarde raised the motley brood with ml tho ten- dernes* of a parent ; so that on visiting him it was no uncommon thing to see various singing birds, to which he may be said to have given birth, perched on his head, and warbling the artificial note., he hud taught them. Naturally possessed of a good con stitution and an active mind, his house was the gen eral coffee room of the village, where the nfl'iirE of both church and state were discussed with the utmost freedom. In consequence of long conf.ne- moot his countenance had rather u sickly cast, i*nt it was remarkaWy expressive, nnd would have af forded a fine subject for the pencil of Wilktc. par ticularly when ho was surrounded by his country friends. This singular man bud acquired by bis ingenuity and industry an honoiblu independence, and died possessed of considerable property. He married about three weeks before bis death. From this brief history of James Sandy we may learn :hu very instructive lesson, that no difficulties aro too great to be overcome by industry and perseverance, und tlvat genius, although it should sometimes miss the distinction it deserves, w ill selJoni fail, unless by iisuwn fault, to spcnreccinpetcncyandjespect- ability.—Alb.

The Farmer.—No one can possibly have u more exalted opinion than we profess to enjoy of the grent importance of life of a true Farmer.— llis condition appears to possess more of true iu dependence, combined with tlie real, substantial enjoyments of life, than any other, and we long for the huppy pmiod in our existence, wh. . forsaking the busy, bustling, dusty streuta > f the city, we can realize the picture it Black- wood’s Magazine, which represents the Farmer as a bene Ike tor who, by the prudent and t-kilfu! outlay of his time nnd money, shall make a single field yield permanently ti double crop ; ami ne who does this over a square mile, virtu;: y adds a square mile to the national territory, nay, be dues more .* he doubles to this extent tlie terrilor n to- I sources ot tho country, w tit: .ut gi\mg i.ic *i. *e any larger territory to defend.

Dismal Swamp.—Almost every body nssi. ciatcs with the name of this famous sw amp, snakes noxious reptiles of ull kinds, and gunni disease. A writer in the Express says it is dismal enough, to look at, hut, “low ns the country is, und sick\ as one would tuke it lobe,fevers and fever-and-aguo are unknown. Indeed, the people of the swumpeo... •sider ihe water u sure preventive of diseases, nnd wliut is singular enough, I am told that other pci sons from other and sickly parts of the country, resort to the swninp, for h»-al:h aud protection.’’— The water which fills the swamp, is of a dark red color, is drank by a few inhabitants in the sw amp, md is said to bo very bealilWul, being strongly impregnated with juices from tho roots of thejt.in. per arid sassafras, (fee., which grow in great nbun- dance; in short n sort of “compound fluid extract,” is diffused instead of being*“conccntrated.” The Earon de Stiegliiz. banker of the Rus sian Court, who died recently at JSt. IVersbtng, at the early ago of thirty six. left ti fortune of about six millions yf dollars.

Beauty.—Beauty has been iu all age**, and cor., tinues to be, the theme of tin? poet and the admire- tion of all; whether it is found amid the splendor of Royalty, among the high-born and the wealthy, or blooming in comparative obscurity, it mattera nut ; it will every where find admire rs. Yet how often is it a fatal dower, the stepping-stone to w retchedaess nnd even gu.lt ! How many happy hearts has it made desolate—how many joyous countenances saddened—hew many hearts has it riven, still is it coveted and esteemed tho gifted gifts ! Politics and Criticism.—In the debnto on Mr. Hume’s motion for a vote of thank? to Lord As i. burton, in thu British Parliament, Lord Stanley, referring to the Treaty of Washington, said : “N*> Treaty was ever concluded between t«o nations, whose interest it was more to mail.in n harmony with each other, and to whom it would j hr mutually suicidal if—” j Here the noble Lord wan interrupted by Mi.
