Valdh ofthi Bible.—Whatever differences of
opinion may prevail among neciarians, as lo fit*
value of the different editions of the Bible, arid
the purity of their translations, and their mil i.
ty in schools, none eeo safely deny the inspire •
tion of the good book and its high moral tendsci-
ctet.
A gentleman of this eiiy, personally acquainted
wild the celebrated Thomas Paine says:—*On»
evening I found Psion haranguing a company of
his disciples on the great mischief done to mankind
by the production of the Bible and Christianity.—
When he paused, I said—‘Mr. Puine, you have
been in Scotland ; you know there is not a more
rigid set of people in the world than they are in
their attachment to the Bible. Is it not their school
book I Their churches are full of Billies- When
a young man leaves his father’s huuse, his mother
always, in packing his chest, puts-o Bible on the
lop of his clothes.' He said it was tru-. I contin
ued,—'You have been in Spain and Portugal,
where they have no Bible.' Ho assented. ‘You
have seen districts in Europe, where not one man
in filly can read ; and you have been in Ireland,
where the majority never saw a Bible. Now you
know it is a historical fact, that in one country ia
England or Ireland there are many more capital
convictions in six months, than there are in the
whole population of Scotland in twelve. Besides,
this day there is out one Scotchman in the Alms,
house. Stale Prison, Bridewell, or Penitentiary of
New York. Now, then, if the Bible was so bad
a book as you represent it to be, those who use it
would be the wutst members of society, but the
contrary is the fact , <or our prisons, ulmshousca
and penitentiaries, are filled with men and woinetr
whose ignorance or unbelief prevents them from
reading the Bible.' It was now near 10 o'clock
at night. Paine answered not a word, but, taking
a candle from the table, walked up stairs, leaving
his friend and myself staring ut une another.”
COURTSHIP ON A FRAGMENT OF THE

Many interesting as well as painful incidents
esnnech-d with that awful disaster, 1 a>e related to us

ii natural to suppose that he would feel quite a*
much concern fur himself as for any one else.—
He «r»s consequently among the foremost of those

to,top into it when he discovered a young lady,

Her protector was the man who was blown over

Arieksof the helpless and drowning. He turned

couple of settees, threw them upon a piece of an
old sail and a small empty cask, dud ihus equipped,
Uuached upon the element. It was all the work
of a moment. He believed death inevitable, and
Ibtt effort was the last grasp at life. His vessel
bore him up much belter than he expected, and he

iMunder by the explosion; This with the aid of
the senses, fastened beneath it, proved sufficient to
bsep them out of the water. Aboutthii lime one
of the small boats cams toward* them, but already
heavily loaded. He implored them to tako in the
young lady. But she said, no she could but die—

RIVERS OF TEXAS.
Dr. Branch T. Archer, a citizen of Texas, late
ly delivered an address before the N. York Amer.
ican Institute, giving a geographical description of
Texas and its resources. His description of the
rivers and the country adjacent to them, is exceed
iugly interesting. We condense that portion of
his address which relates to these subjects:
"Then taking the country within the limits men
tioned between the Bttbine and Nueces, the first
thing that would strike the observer, would be the
relative proportions of timber and prairie lands,
and the immediate uses to which each could be ap
plied. The proportions within the limits mention
ed ore, I think, as six to one. Not more than one
sixth of our lands are timbered, and they aro with
very few exceptions fronting our water courses.
The next matter that would uttract particular no
lice, isthe long rivers by which the country is inter
seeled from North to South—1 allude here only
10 our long rivers; will speak presently of our
shorter streams. We will take the Sabine, our
Eastern boundary, and progress West. This riv
er affords fine bodies of land, and in ordinary tides,
is navigable lor steamboats drawing light draught
water from four to five hundred miles. Tlio next,
proceeding West, is the Nutchez. navigable about
one hundred miles. The average distance be
tween these streams ia forty miles. Next the Trin
idad, affording excellent lands, well timbered and
naviguble in ordinary tides for steam boats drawing
lour feet water, from five to six hundred miles.
Next the Brazos, or Centre river ol the Republic,
in l lie lieurt of the live oak forest, affording naviga
tion for boats drawing aix feet water, sixty miles,
and for light steamboats four hundred miles. Next
the Colorado, affording very fine lands; its naviga
tion obstructed by a raft near its mouth. Next the
Unudnloupe, affording superior lauds, well timber
ed, and navigable some two hundred miles. Next
the Nueces, affording fine louds, but little timber.
Next the Rio Grande, our Western boundary. Of
this river 1 am not sufficiently informed to give in
formation. Returning from West to East, I will
bring tn your view our shorter rivers. And first,
the Bun Antonio, affording a fertility of suit and an-
lubrity of climate not surpassed or. this continent.
This rivor is not navigable, though susceptible of
cheap and easy improvement to that end. Next
the La Bara and Nivtddad, affording floe lands ;
not navigable. Next Cane river, proverbial for its
fertility, navigable fifty milev. Next San Bernard,
its lands second only to the Cane lands, navigable
fifty miles. Next Unstrop bayou lauds not so good;
navigable forty miles. Next Buffuio bayou, lands
inferior; navigable 30 miles,”
‘‘A word to Farmers” is spoken in ihe New York
Tribune, lu relation to deep ploughing, that jour
nal says—
As to deep Plowing, all science, all practice, nil
authority recommend it, and yet three fuurths of
our farmers persist in skinning their laud over front
five to eight incites deep, or not half what is re
quired. We saw field after field of corn which
will not yield ten bushels to the ucre, (and poor
stuff at that) which might have been put up lo twen
ty by Deep Plowing alone. Of course, one year
would not exhibit ull the benefit of this culture ;
though even the first year, if a dry one, would show
its decided advuntuge; but lot land have lime to
get used to Deep Plowing, and it will tell you plain
ly how it relishes that treatment. And the mar,
who plows deep is pretty apt to put something else
into the soil aa well as iron. He will hnve muck,
ond peat from his swamp holes and a noble compost-
heap near his barn.
We hear Farmers compluin, and most truly, that
.hey can make nothing by their busines—and this
while they are paying taxes, keeping up fences, and
perhaps paying mortgage interest, on twice as much
laud as they can cultivate well, and letting half of
it go from year to year without tillage, without fer
tilizing, and often growing up to bushes and alt
manner of mischief. Now the wonder is not that
such farmers do not thrive—the murvel is that
they manage to exist. Let any manufacturer, me
chanic, dr merchant do his business after this pat
tern, and he must fail—there is no help for it.
Bui must we conclude that had farming has be.
come inveterate among our people?—that our far
liters Imve resolved, though they know better, to
hold tw ice as much land as they can till thoroughly,
und torment it till it ruins them. We will nut give
it up. Every farmer we see admits the evil—says
lie his neighbor! run over Ino much land, cultivate
loo slovenly, nre not soffi-iemly tvnle uwnketoihe

strength on what could he easier und belier by the
siii of skill and science. Aii are aware that they
must farm better or break ; for the car of Improve

ho run over by it.

cation on the subject of preventing smut in when),
a portion of which we annex :
I purchased last autumn of one of my neighbors
u portion of iny seed wheat, whose crop 1 after
wards learned had been injured by that species of
smut that is called eruilofalida, dost brand, or pep.
per brand ; the wheat looked clean and fine, and
clear of nny foreign mixture. Previous to com
mencing the seeding of this grain, I hod been seed
ing some of another kind, in which there was a
mixture of garlic; und I had given orders lo my
serdsman lo puss it through a brine strong enough
to hear an egg, to skim off oil the trash Hist might
rise to the surface, and then remove the grain to a
plank floor and dry it, by stirring it in sir slaked
lime. When lie commenced seeding the wheat
that 1 had bought, finding it perfectly clean, and
supposing that tny object in steeping the other wsb
lo get clear of filth, without consulting me lie began
to sow it, without the usu of the brine and lime,
and had strewed about a bushel before I discovered
As soon as I made the discovery, I had it treated
precisely as the other. When l came to harvest
iny wheat this season, this circumstunce had pass
ed from my memory, and l whs much surprised to
find that in one small corner of the field the smut
had destroyed the wheal, while the rest was com.
pletely exempt from it, under pretty much the
same circumstances tif soil and exposure
have been exceedingly puzzled to have assigned
a cause for this difforeoco in the crop, hud 1 not
b.-en reminded by my seedsman of the fact of his
having seeded a portion of undoctored wheat the
previous autumn; and he stuted that it was on the
spot w here the smut existed that lie strewed it. It
seen s lo nto there cun be no stronger evidence
than this accidental circumstance bus afforded of
the benefit of bringing and liming our seed wheat;
and I strongly recommend the use of Ihu process
to tny brother fsrmor*.

c« guarded against. No fewer than five thousand
haoids are enpluyed here ; of these three thousand
are women, almost all of whom are occupied in
m eking cigars, and a number of the men are sitni-
Im-ly employed. The remainder are engaged in
the.- manufacture of ihe different articles and im-
pi einents required in the establishment. Two im-
m ense halls aro occupied by the tw istert of cigars,

women are seated; the wotk is performed with

Old Times.—Rev. Mr. Fox, of Nowhurvport
in tut old paper written in 1828 to a friend, gave u
familiar sketch of the manners snd habits of the
good people of Boston, nearly a century ago. The
tbllowing is that part which describes the dress ol
a couple as they were arranged for marriage. To
begin with the lady ; her long lucks were stratnod
upwurds over an immense cushion that sat like att
incubus on her head, and then plastered over will)
pomatum und sprinkled over with a shower of
white powder. The height of this tower was
sbme what over a foot- One single while rosebud
lily Upon its summit like an eagle on a Imy-slack
Over her neck and bosom was folded a lace hand
kerchief fastened in front by a bosom pin rather
larger than a dollar consisting of your grandfather’*
miiilat tire sot in vergin gold. Hor airy form was
braced up in a satin diess, the sleeves tight ns the
natural'skin to the arm, with n waist formed by n
bodico, worn outside,from whence the skirt flowed
off', add was distended at the ancle by an amp
hoop. Shoes of white kid, with peaked toes, and

members peeped curiously out. Now for the
swain. Your grandfather slept in an arm chair
the night before his wedding, lest iho arrangement
of his pe.ricrailium, which had been under the hands
of a bar! )or the whole nftcriiobn should he disturb
ed. His hair was sleeked back and plentifully be
flowered, while bis cue pr.-jected like the handle
of a skill el. His coat wus of a skyliluo silk, lin
ed with ye.llow j hi-long vest of white snliii, em
broidered with gold Inco ; his breeches of the same
material* Bud tied at the knee with pink ribbon.
White silk, stocking, and pumps, clocks and ties ol

wrists, and n portentious frill, worked in correspon.

Women and Adversity.—We clip the follow,
ing Iruthf'til paragraph from n communication in
the New Vork Tribune, it is indeed a sterling
thought:
There is not nn earth a more noblo and sublime
spectacle uhnn a virtuous woman, alone and un
friended its the cold world, struggling bravely
against the frowns of fortune and the temptations
of n society run mad with riot and licentiousness,
und rnainlH iitiiig herself pure and uncontaininuted
nnd above t'epronch—perhaps, too, feeding the hun
gry mouths of her fatherless children—by the la
bor, of her own hands, and the wretch, who would
rob her of one single penny of subsistence thus
acquired, ileservcs to be scourged with scorpions.
Proud and happy are we, nt all times and in all cir
cumstance s, to stand up ns the champion and de.
fender of such uncomplaining, unpretending virtue
and beauty—for virtuu is beautiful, and all the
charms w Inch ever flashed intoxication to the sen
ses front Woman’s face and form are hollow amt

A Stiianoi Apolouy.—Father Miller, the world
destroying prophet, has published an apology and
defetce of hie doctrine*, in which lie says;
‘•That I nave been mistaken in the lime, I freely
confess ; end I have uo desire lo defend my course
any further than i have been actuated by pure mo

however, reproach myself for having preached He

written was for our learning, the prophetic periods
nre as much a subject of investigation as any oth

depended entirely upon the accuracy of chronolo
gy, of this 1 Imd no absolute demonstration, but as
evidence was presented lo invalidate it, I deemed
it my duty to rely on it as certain, until it should be
disproved.”
This is aa plain a confession of his ignorance of
the subject, of which he pretended to predict so
positively, as could be made. It also proves that
the man, if not dishonest, was stubbornly wed lo
his own opinions ; for when the uncertainty of the
evidence upon which his whole fabric rested was
clearly pointed out by persons versed in chronolo
gy, he ridiculed their statements snd assorted that
his opinions were correct, or (Its Bible was no!

manufacturing interests, and each offering in itself,
lo a large extent, an encouraging reward for a large
amount of iubor now but indfferently paid for. Of
Madder there are consumed in dying at least a
million of dollars worth a year, and the value of
Indigo used in the same way, is over two millions of
dollars, so that those two articles alone will enable
Southern planters to substitute their culture to that
extent, for cotton, and thus, by Jiverting so much
of thoir soil sod force from the production of cot

decrease the production of cntioo lo the standard
