An extraordinary incident that occurred in the family of die authoress, when the yellow fever pre vailed like a plague in Boston, will powerfully in terest the reader. A Uomap.ce in Real Life.—One of my father's brothers, residing in Boston at that lime, became a victim to the pestilence. When the first symptoms appeared, his wife sent die children into the coun. try, and herself remained to uttend upon him. Her friends warned Iter against such rushoess. They told Iter it would be deulli lu her, and no benefit to him, for he would soon bo too ill to know w ho al. tended upon him. Those arguments made no im. pressiou on her affectionate heart. Site felt that it would bo a long life of sadslaclion to her to know who nltunded upon him, if he did not. Site ac cordingly staid and watched him with unremitting care. Tins, however, did nut uvsil to save him. He grew worse and finally died. Tliuse who went round with the death carts, had visited the chamber, and seen that the end was near. They now cume to take the body. His wife tofused to let it go. She told mu situ never knew how toac. count for it, but though lie was perfectly cold and rigid, und to ovury appearance quite deud, there wm a powerful impression on iter mind that life was nut extinct. The men wore overborne by the force of her convictions, though their own reason wus opposed to it. The half hour again came round, and agnin was lieurd the solemn words, “Bring out your dead.” The wife again resisted their impurtuni. ties ; hut litis lirno the men were more resolute. They said tho duty assigned tu them was a painful one, hut the health uf the city required punctual obedience to the orders they received; if they ex pected the pestilence to abate, it must be by a prompt removal of the dead, and immediate fumi gation of the infected apartments. She pleaded und pleaded, and even knelt to them and whither he was going . friendly manner, invited him to shure the hospi-N in an agony of tears, continually saying, ‘I nm sure lalities uf his house till such lime as he found it ho is not deud.’ The men represented the utter convenient to resume his journey—adding, with s'! ahsurdityof such an idea ; but finally, overcome sn.ile.that it was not improbable that he might visit} by her tears, aguin departed. With trembling the Crimea himself in the course of that year,* haste she renewed her elforts to restore him. She when, perhaps, he might require a similar return ; j raised his head, rolled his limbs in hot flannel, and the invitation wos accepted, he was conducted to o ' placed hot onions on his feet. The dreadful Imlf «plendid mansion, elegant without and commodious j hour again came ruund, and found him as cold and ' rigid as ever. She renewed her entreaties so des perately, that the men began to think u little gen tle force would he necessary. Tltev accordingly attempted to remove the body against her will; but site threw herself upon it und clung to it with »tich frantic strength, llmt they could not easily loosen her grasp. Impressed by the remarkable energy of her will, they relaxed their efforts. To all their remonstrances site answered, 'If you bury him within. Unbounded liberality on tile part of the Pole, pro duced unbounded confidence on the pari of the En glishman. Tito lutter had a small box of jewels of great value, which he hud carried about his per ron from the time of his leaving home—finding that mode of conveyance both hazardous and in convenient in a town, he requested his magnificent host to deposit it in a pluce of security till he should be ready to go away. At the expiration of three ( you shall bury me with him,’ At last liy tho dint days ho prepared fur his departure, and in asking for his box, how was he amazed when the old gen tleman, «ith a countenance exhibiting the utmost surprise replied. “What box?” m “Why, theainull box of jewels which I gave to you to keep for me.” of reasoning on the necessity of the case, they ob. lained from her a promise, llmt, if he showed no signs uf life before they again came round, she would make no further opposition to the removal. Having gained this respite, she hung the watch upon the bed post, and renewed her eflorts with re doubled zeal. She placed kegs ofhot water about “Mv dear sir, you must surely be mistaken; I him, forced brandy between his teeth, breathed in never! reully, saw or heard of such a box.” ' to his nostrils, and held liurtshorn to his nose, hut The Englishman was petrified. After recov still the body lay motionless and cold. She looked ering himself a little, he requested he would call anxiously at the watch ; in five minutes the pru- his wife, site having been present when lie received mised half hour would expire, and those dreadful it. She came, ana on being questioned answered . voices would be heard pussing through the street, in exact unison with Iter husband—expressed the Hopelessness came over her; she dropped tho tnmu surprise—and benevolently eudeavored to head alio had been sustaining; her hand trembled persuade her distracted guest that it was a mere violently ; and the hurtshorn site had been holding hallucination. With mingled feelings of horror astonishment and despair he wulked out of the house and went to the tavern al which lie had put up on Ills arrival in Waraaw. There he related his mysterious story, and learned that his iniqui- . tout bust was the richest Jew in Pulaud. He wal advised, without deluv, to slate the case to the Brand Duke, who fortunately happened at that lime to be in Warsaw. I lie accordingly waited upon him, and with littls'. ceremony was admitted to an audience. He briefly laid down his case, and Constantine, “with a gree- • dy ear devoured up his discourse.” Constantine • expressed Ins astonishment—mid him he knew the Jaw,having hud extensive money transactions with him—llmt lie hud ulwayt been respectable, and ot | an unblemished character. “However,” he added. 1 “I will use every logitimnte means 'o unveil lire mystery.” So saying lie called on some gentle-, uicn » he were to dine with him that day. and de- r ‘patched a messenger with a note to the Jew, re , questing his presence. Aaron obeyed the suin-i mens. “Have you no recollection of having received a j box ul jewels from the hands of this gentleman ?”j | said the Duke. “Never, my lord,” was the reply. “Strange, indeed. Are you perfectly conscious,’ turning to tho Englishman, “that you gave the box itssioieu?” "Quito certuir., rny lord, ’ Then addressing himself to tho Jew—“This is i | 'very singular case, and I feel it my duly to use t -. singular menus to ascertain the truth; is your wife . no other foundation than her liusbnnd j esteem und was spilled on the pallid face. Accidentally, the position of the head had become slightly tipped backward, and the powerful liquid (lowed into (jts oust rils. Instantly there was a abort quick gasp— a struggle—his eyes opened ; and when the death men cume again, they found him sitting up in the bed. He is still alive and has enjoyed unusually good health. To Widows, Gikls and Wives.—The truost way either to obtain a good husband, or keep one to, is to be good yourself. Never use a lover ill, whom you design to make your husband, lest he should either upbraid you with it or not return afterwurds. Avoid hotli before und after marriage all thoughts of governing your husband. Never endeavor to deceive or impose on his un derstanding nor give him uneasiness (as some do very foolishly) to try his temper : hut trust him al ways beforehand, with sincerity, und afterwards with affection and respect. Be nut over sanguine before the marriage nor promise yourself felicity without alloy. If you see a fault, puss it over as a human frailty; smooth your brow; compose your temper and try to mend it by cheerfulness and good nature. Resolve every morning to lie good-natured and cheerful that day, and sulfur not yourself to he put out of temper by your husband. Dispute not with him, he tho occusion what it may.

[From the Alabama Planter.] S UB.SOIL PLOUGHING. Tnero is not any subject now unguging the at tention of enlightened agriculturists mure than the most judicious and luccestful mode of cultivating the suil. Tho extraordinary success that has fol lowed a departure, from the old routine of culliva. lion, founded on the lute discoveries in vegetation, sufficiently proves that there is solid ground fur the investigation and inquiry. Deep ploughing lias for u long period received warm mid decided advocates, whi'e not a few us s'.uhhoruly maintain, the opposite theory, Tho great success following the cultivation lately intro, duced by the aid of the subsoil plough, ought witii every reasonable man, 1 think, to settle the differ ent advocates ; and after sufficient trial 1 feel sat. isfitfd llmt tile great object before us, as to the cul. tivulion of the soil, is how we can most judiciously secure a deep cultivation and create thereby a deep toil. Anumherof strong and well attested facts cuine nutv to our aid, while endeavoring to setilo the soundness of this theory. That land cultivated witii the sub soil plough, or by any oilier mode stirred deep, will 'support the plant in times of drought, otherwise it would perish is unquestiona ble. That the roots of plants will go down as far as the ground is loosened or ploughed, is and must he admitted, and that those roots arc in quest of nutriment, is a fair inference. That the influence of the sun’s rays and the atmosphere, so essential to the production of vegetation, will penetrate deep er, and by so penetrating prepare a larger bed for the roots of plants tuspreud in, is self-evident, and this system of sub-soil ploughing lias been found in the same soil and under the same circumstances, to he followed by greater productions, is certainly now determined by correct and well conducted ex periment, be the foundation of the soil what it may. I have begged to he understood to allude to pre paring the soil fur planting ; as for lending in any degree a crop witii tlio subsoil plough, I cannot en ter into the rationality of it. It is gratifying to re collect that we can very conveniently find a whole people tv ho nre nut surpassed, it is now admitted by any other, and tire point not quite settled, whe ther or nut they are equalled, whoso system of cul tivation for obtaining great production and preser vation of soil is now nut only deep cultivation but turning up tho suh-struta fot the purpose of creat ing a deep soil. I here ulludo to the Flemings, whose system of husbandry lias arrested the attention of every na- lion of cultivators und umply secured their ap plause. Those people not only cultivate their lands deep, hut throw up the under stratu to tho action of the atmosphere and the rays of tho sun, many of them annually to tiie depth of two or three feot. Here ' would hi ing before observing men a fact seen fre quently amongst ourselves, lliut ought never to lie lost sight of when this subject is agitated. In dig. ging cellars or wells the dirt thrown from the hot- tom, even thirty feet below the surface, whether ay, sand or gravel, tho first year is found to he un productive, hut the second a strong vegetation is seen of grass and weeds, &c., and the potver of producing vegetation seems to increase annually, and most in limestauu soils. Now it is self evi dent that this is the effect of the action on the earth of the sun’s rays, tho atmosphere, frost, rains, &c, having access to tho suil. Another remark ought here to he mado, of tho correctness of which we liuve self evident proof. Our moat productive land is our deepest alluvial soil. Now we know that the water which fulls on those landB passes gradu. ally down without resting in the massabout the roots of the plants, u circumstance, it is xvcll known, lien ii takes place, to he extremely unfavorable to the vegetation of plants, and which salisfuctorL accounts for the unfriendly character us regards production, of hard pan soils, oven where the up per strata is good, und it is known to the river planters that the lutely introduced mode of deep ploughing, even river lands has been attended avilh the happiest effects in producing extraordinary ad. ditiun to the crops. An experiment by a distin guished Maryland farmer is republishing through out the country, and no doubt will havo its effect, and it is desirable llmt it should not he productive of any unauthorized conclusions on tho subject, of subsoil ploughing. The experiment of Mr. Car- inichuel to have been, I humbly conceive, a full and conclusive one, ought tu have begun with the sub- soii ploug'i. From experience I am satisfied, and ' think it will ho nciinitted by intelligent planters, that u successful cultivation of the plunt mainly de pends on the preparation of the soil for the recep tion of tiie seed. If Mr. C. had ran the subsoil plough afturlhe barslieur, I should have been much better pleased with tiie experiment. All disturb ing tiie routs of plants alter tney havo commenced running, 1 believe is nuw disapproved of by practi cal uud intelligent agriculturists. The ground ought to he so pulverized by ploughing previous to planting lliut no obstacle may be found in the way of the young roots spreading, and in after cultiva tion tiie soil should he kept in a slate favoring their progress, viz : loose and friable. The best piece of corn 1 Imvo been able to produce was made by running u hurshenr followed by a deep scooter pre. paralory to planting, the first turning tiie ground over effectually, six inches in depth, and the last penetrating and loosing the ground ul least nine incites into a clay the wliulu distance. A piece uf tiie same soil precisely uloug side was planted and tended in the ‘good old xvuy,’ and uilhough my xvor- ihy neighbor cried uut regarding the first, ruin, yet in good lime it proclaimed production 25 per cent over the last. A fact well calculated to throw lighfupon the culti vation of tiie earth, as regards the groxvtli of plants, was exhibited in Kentucky lately in tile production of u splendid crop of corn, by ploughing the land well previous tu planting, and putting ii in the best possible stale to receive tiie seed, nfter once plough ing tho corn, cuvering the earth among the growing plants with leaves after u fine rain to n considera ble depili; both tnnisturc and heal were thus se cured to the growing plants. Another fact suffi ciently aetlled in our own Slate is that the finest Irish potatoes ever preducediu it are grown by well pulverizing the iund deep, previously tu pluming in u trench as usual, and alter the pututues are large enough, plough and line well, earthing them up mo derately, tlm w hole surface (leaving out the vines) just after ogaiu, with leaves frum the woods, as deep ns you can, regarding the vines without fur ther disturbance until ul maturity. These two facts goto sliuxv conclusively that the greulestob ject in cultivation is to prepuro the soil so as (o give tho seed a fine and deep bed to commence in before desposiliug it in the suil. The Flemish mode of cultivation alluded to, it is well known, is carried on almost altogether with the spade. Modern improvements render this te dious and laborious mode of cultivation unneces sary, and enable us to call in the animal world to hear the burthen of the day. The improvement of the subsoil plough and other ploughs, amply supply tho pluce of the spade. Tu create • deep soil (which I consider tiie same ee cultivation) where it does not nlreedy-exist, it is out absolutely neces sary to lliroxv the strata up to tiie top lor the pur pose of getting the benefit of the atmosphere, rays of the sun, fro»t<, anows, dews, Arc. II the toil is once rendered loose and friable, the strong absorb, ent powers of the earth will lake in plentifully some of those ngents, uud the rest will penetrate It; und il is certain that with judicious ploughing and mn "bring, tiie under suil may he rendered highly pro ductive, although never removed from its bed, twelve inches Mow tho surface. The fullowing result of labor came within the personal knowledge uf tho xvrilor. One hull of a field of 6 acres was trench ploughed, ns before stated, the other cultivn. led as usual—both in corn. The first trenching was given about the 1st of December, the second followed about the 1st of January; crussing—both pieces planted the same day, and equally tended, the difference in production the first year 12 to 15 per cent. The second year the same process followed—pea vines mid leaves ploughed under. The production 20 to 25 per cent, greater in the first cul. The third year tho snmc result, and the following year rye and peas unsurpassed. In culfivating ho h pieces, a scooter plough was first run close to the young corn, the first plough ing. Shallow ploughing afterwards. Kept clean with the hoe. PLANTER.
