THE SOCIAL AFFECTIONS.
Genuine friendship's soft control,
Averts life’s iils, and ctiarrns the soul.
Explores the thought, explains the eye.
The sweetest solace when we die.
It smiles away the glist’ning tear,
Infuses joy 'mid trembling fear.
Despondency and darkest gloom.
With cheerfulness and light relume.
Oh ! Friendship, friendship, peerless rayf
To life’s bewildered—winding way.
When darkest waves of trouble roll,
Thou art the Polstar of the Soul.
And then should fortune, wealth and fame,
Unite to bless and gild our name.
The climax of our joy would be,
To have our friends’ society.
Oh! who hath friendship, pure, sincere.
Our pain to soothe, onr joy to share?
’Tis not with those who smile and jest.
That truly have it in the breast.
For rivals, seeking wealth or fame,
When absent, blur each other’s name.
But, when together, jest and smile,
Each other’s interest to beguile.
Nor cherished by inferiors
For those who are superiors,
For envy basely fills their hearts,
And from their tongue detraction darte.
Nor is it with the rich and great,
To condescend to low estate;
They think themselves supremely blessed,
Without ignoble friendship’s test.
No wonder, then, so few enjoy
This precious boon without alloy.
Since adverse interest still procl^pi,
That friendship is an empty name.
’Tis unity of heart and mind.
With mutual interest all combined;
In every age, in every clime,
That makes this priceless jewel thine.
Of similar ages pleasures o.ie,
From aged sire, to youngest son ;
Spontaneous friendship, artless chart,
Is read in sister’s, brother’s heart.
Oh do not think it “ passing strange,”
If I should say—here, in LaGrange,
I often see two sisters prove,
The paragons of social love.
In sweet feclusion’s calm delight,
Or evening walk they both unite;
Alike their minds and feelings are.
Each charming sister’s love to share.
Oh loving, lovely, happy pair !
May not your love some other’s share?
Von need not love each other less.
And yet, each may some other bless.
Who hath not often smiled to see
How ‘'brothers dwell in unity 7”
All o’er the hills and vales of life.
Harmonious join, all free from strife.
A Thompson's muse may cbcerly sing.
The May-morn chartr.s of blooming spiing;
llis highest note could ns'erconvey
What brothers’ sisters hearts pourtray.
Their love is warmer, purer, far,
Than brother can of brother share:
The sister sways with sweet control,
The noblest feelings of his sool.
Her lender frame, her smite end tear,
In brother’s heart are eter dear—
Her chief protection is his life,
’Till site has husband—be* wife.
As kindred drops in mte units,
True wedded lieatts have one delight
Hand in hand through life they go,

ferment’d (farm yard) manure, there
is also a large loss; and the same is
the case it they are employed in feed
ing stock, with a view to their con
version into manure.—In no other
foim can the same crop convey to the
the soil an equal amount ol enriching
matter as in that of green leaves and
stems. Where the Jirst object there
fore, in the farmer’s practices is, so to
use his crops as to enrich his land, he
will soonest effect it by plowing them i
in the green state.
Another important result is, that
the beneficial action is also immedi
ate. Green vegetables decompose
rapidly, and thus the first crop which
follows a green manuring, is benefit-
ted and increased by it. But partly
for this reason, the green manuring
of grain-cropped land, if aided by no
other manure must generally be re
peated every second year.
It is said that grain crops which
succeed a green manuring, never lodge
—and that the produce of grain is
greater in proportion to the straw
than when manured with fermented
dung.
But it is deserving of separate con
sideration, that green manuring is
especially adapted for improving and
enrichingsoils which are poor in ve
getable matter. Living plants contain
in their substance not only all they
have drawn up from the soil, but also
a great part of what they have drawn
down from the air. Plow in these
living plants, and you necessarily add
to the soil more than was taken from
it in other r.vds, you make it richer
in organic matter. Repeat the pro
cess wilh a second crop, and you
make it richer still—and it would be
difficult to define the limit beyond
which the process could no further be
carried.
The soils only are beyond the
reacit of this improving process, on
which plants refuse to grow at all.
But for those plants which grow
nuturally upon tlio soil, agricultural
skill may substitute others, which will
increase more rapidly, and produce a
large quantity of green leaves and
stems for the purpose of being hur
ried in the soil. Hence the selection
of particular crops for turning in—
those being obviously the fittest which
in the given soil and climate grow
most rapidly, or which produce the
largest quantity of vegetable matter

est cost, Johnson's Lectures on the. Applica

We should like to have more of our
readers try tan bark under their trees
where it is not convenient to run a
plough, as it will at least convert the
natural sward to manure if there is no
other virtue in it.—Mass. Ploughman.
My system is to work a tree just
as I do the corn plant; the one is an
annual, the other a perennial; give the
tree all the cultivation it is to have

“Poor but Respectable.”—Noticing
the sudden death of a citizen ol Franklin

says that be was “ po /r but respectable.”
Very singu'ar, indeed, for a man to be poor
and respectable! How would it answer
lor the Journal to say, in noticing the death
of a rich man, “ rich but respectable ?”
Alas for the cant of this aristocratic world
—“ poor but respectable.” “ Rich and re

Novel method of Making Salt.
We are informed that in Higgling J jun»p«*d overboard, on heario
one of the salt wells of the Kanawha, ’
a vein of carbureted Hydrogen (infla-
mable gas) was struck, and that the
gas comes up in large quantities,mix
ed with the salt water. The propri
etor has contrived to separate the gas
from the water; and while the water
is conveyed into the boilers through
one set of pipes, the gas is conveyed
in another set under the boilers where
it is inflamed, and evaporates the wa

These things seem not to correspond with
religion. Religion needs no human orna
ments, it shines by its own light, end is re
fulgent with its own glory. A Preacher of
the Gospel should have nothing about him
which savours of effeminacy and worldly
pomp; he is awfully mistaken who thinks
to'prevail on the world to hear him and re
ceive the truth, by conforming himself to its
fashions and manners. God resisteth the
proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Be

Turn not so tearfully away—
I cannot bear to part.
With any thing but hope and joy
In the swelling of my heart.
Look up to me with laughing eyes—
We shall meet egain, ere long ;
And then the greeting I shall have.
Will be thy gentle song.
So sing to me that song of joy.
That song of summer bowers,
Murmuring like the soft warm breath
Of a south wind over flowers.
I will kite thee as thou wnrblest on.
My token ae I part.
And so will bear away with me.
Thy music in my heart.

An Impebtcbable Rogue.—One day last

Prison at Auburn, managed to change his
! d rcss fora suit ot citizen’s clothing; and,
after taking a turn or two thtough the yard,
walked lo the door, wilh all the sangfroid
imaginable, and signified to the turnkey,
by a smile and a nod ol the head, as visi
tors usually do, that he bad taken a suffi
cient view of the premises and wished to
be off. The door was accordingly thrown
open, and, tipping his beaver very grace
fully to the turnkey, wilh the remark that
“ be intended visiting the prison to-morrow
in company with some ladies,” the convict
deliberately marched up the street, and has
not been heard of since.—Rochester Ad
