THRILLING SKETCH.
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.

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'.

laid down his case, and Constantine, “with a gree- •

“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

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.

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.

the follies of his youth. If his moral character Imd

would liuve been at his feel,” that there were mu.
incuts when lie would have consented to pass “sev.

from some of the neighUn ing counties, with sev

movement is io lake up a newspaper, for without
it they knnxv nut where to go. They search for

them advertised, and are directed by the advertise
