LOST 6ECIX..
*3OO REWARD.
LOST or stein, from my plantation on the
Chattahoochee River, 6. miles below Eu
faula, a very likely negro child, near three years
old. He was missed from the yard late in the
evening of the 24th March, a thorough search
was made that night and for several successive
days without discovering a trace of his footsteps,
which induces the opinion that he may have been
stolen, the circumstance of two men being seen
on the same day iq the woods near the settlement,
also, favors that opinion.
He is a thick set, full-faced child, rather bow
legged j and had a thick bushy head of hair, and
I think a large scar upon his wrist produced by a
burn, Hi* name is Reuben, perhaps he might
answer to it, If he be stolen, I will pay the
above reward for the apprehension of the thief;
and if he has been sold I will pay the purchaser
the amount he paid for him, and all expense for
furnishing me with the information. I will also
pay any reasonable demand for any intelligence
communicated to me, or to M r * Thomas Lowry,
near Eufaula, Alabama, which may lead to a dis

A SAFE AND EFFICIENT
REMEDY FOR WORMS,
May be found in Dr. WOODRUFF’S
•W'ei&ax smeexapxe.
THE above preparation for Worms is a very
certain remedy. It has advantages over ma
ny other preparations for Worms, from the fact
that it can be given with perfect safety to a child
of any ago ; nor is it necessary to give any other
Medicine with it, or after it, as it operates upon
the bowels, carrying away the Worms, and cleans
ing the bowels of unhealthy secretions at the
same time.
A trial of it we think, will give satisfaction to
any one. It may not cure every case, but such is
our confidence in it, that we are willing to war
rant its benefiting in every instance, or the money
will bo refunded.
CERTIFICATES.
Dr. JVoOilruff j Dear Sir—l have had a negro
child that has been sick for some time. Not know
ing what was the matter with it,we had pretty much
give up doing anything for it; however, as a last
resort, we concluded to try some of your Worm
Specific, thinking it prohably might be Worms
that had reduced it so much —accordingly we com
menced giving your H Specific,” (which by the
bye, you have rightly named,) when, astonishing
to tell, it commenced passing Worms, and con
tinued doing so for several days, until it had pass
od more than two hundred, some of them a foot
or more in length, others twisted and knotted to
gether in hard balls, so that they could not be sep
erated without cutting them apart. Knowing that
a Worm Medicine so valuable as yours has pro
ven to be, would be used by hundreds, if they
only knew ofits virtues, I have concluded to give
you this certificate, so that all may know where
to find a medicine that can be relied on.
JOSEPH SHIPPEY.
Columbus, July 29, 1845,
Remarkable cure of Tenia, or Tape
Worm,
This is to certify, that I have made uso of Dr.
Woodruff's “Work Specific 4 ” in my family in
several cases, with the happiest effect. In one
case it brought away immediately some fifty
Worms of the kind oalled A&caridcs —but its
most remarkable eftfect was exhibited in another
case, a girl of rather delicate health, who com
plained pretty constantly of her abdomen. Being
satisfied that she had been troubled with Worms
of seme kind, we administered the “Specific,”
and to our astonishment, it brought from her a
number of pieces of Tape Worm, from two to six
or eight inches in length! Since that time, her
health has considerably improved; and I have no
doubt but that the Medicine has relieved her of
that much to be dreaded Worm. The “Spe
cific” is in high repute in this place, and is with
out doubt a valuable remedy for \Yorms.

The sky is ruddy ip the Kast,
The earth is gray below,
And, spectral in the river-mist
Our bare, white timbers show.
Up!—dot tfie sounds of measured stroke
And grating saw begin;
The broad-axe to the gnarled pak,
The mallet to the pin!
Hark !—=roars the bellows, blast on blast,
The sooty smithy jars,
And fire-sparks rising far and fast
Are fading with tho stars.
All day for us the smith shall stand
Beside that flashing forge;
All day for us his heavy hand
The groaning anvil scourge.
Gee up ! —Geo ho ! —The panting team
For us is toiling near ;
For ps the raftsmen down the stream
Their island-barges steer.
Rings out for ys the axe-man’s strpkp
In forests old and still, —-
For us the century-circled oak
Falls crashing down his hill,
Up !—up !—in nobler toil than purs.
No craftsmen bear a part;
We make of Nature’s giant powers
The slaves of human Art-
Lay rib to rib and beam to beam,
And drive the trunnels free;
Nor faithless joint nor yawning seem
Shall tempt the searching sea!
Where’er the keel of our good ship
The sea’s rough field shall plough—
Where’er her tossing spars shall drip
With salfcspray caught below—
That ship must heed her masters beck,
Her helm obey his hand,
And seamen tread her reeling deck
As if they trod the land.
Her oaken ribs the vulture-beak
Os Northern ice may peel—-
The sunken rock and coral peak
May grate along her keel;
And know we well the painted shell
We give to wind apd wave,
Must float, the sailor’s citadel,
Or sink, the sailor’s grave!
110 !—strike away the bars and blocks,
And set the good ship free!
Why lingers on those dusty rocks
The young bride ftf the sea 1
Look I—-how she moves adown the grooves
In graceful beauty now 1
How lowly on the breast she loves
Sinks down her virgin prow 1
God bless her, wljsresoe’er the bree?e
Her snowy wing shall fan,
Aside the frozen Hebrides
Or sultry Hindostan !
Where’er, in mart or on the main,
With peaceful flag unfurled,
She helps to wind the silken chain
Os Commerce round the world !
Speed on the ship!—But let her bear
No merchandize of sin,
No groaning cargo of despair
Her roomy hold within.
No Lethean drug for Eastern lands,
Nor poison draught for ours,
But honest fruits of toiling hands
And Nature’s sun and showers
Be her’s the Prairie’s golden grain,
The Desert’s golden sand,
The clustered fruits of sunny Spain,
The spice of M or oi n g-land !
Her pathway on the open main
May blessings follow free,
And glad hearts welcome back again
Her white sails from the sea }

MISCELLANY.
] Erom Chambers’ Journal.
SOPHIA OF WOLFENBUTTLE.
[This extraordinary, but we believe, true story,
is translated from the Novelle Morali of Francis
Soaye.}
Caroline Christian Sophia, of Wolfenbuttel,
sister of the wife of the emperor, Charles VI,
was united in marriage to the prince Alexis,
son and presumptive heir of Peter the Great,
Czar of Muscovy. In her were mingled the
fairest gifts of nature and education; lovely,
graceful, with a penetrating and cultivated mind,
and a soul tempered and governed by virtue,
yet with these rare gifts, which softened and
won every other heart, she was, nevertheless, an
object of aversion to Alexis, the most brutal of
mankind. More than once the unfortunate
wife was indebted for her life to the use of an
tidotes to counteract the insidious poisons admin
istered to her by her husband. At length the
barbarity of the prince arrived at its climax—
hy an inhuman blow he reduced her to so
wretched a state that she was left for dead. He
himself fully believed that which he so, ardently
desired, and tranquilly departed for one of his
villas, calmly ordering the funeral rites to be duly
celebrated.
But the days of the unfortunate princess
were not yet terminated. Under tho devoted
care of the Countess of Konigsmark, her lady
of honor; who had beeq present at the horrible
event, she slowly regained health and strength,
while her fictitious obsequies were magnificently
performed and honored throughout Muscovy,
and nearly all the European courts assumed
mourning for the departed princess. The wise
and noble Countess of Konigsmarfl, renowned
as the mother of the brave Marshal of Saxony,
perceived that, hy not seconding the fortunate
deceit of the Prince Alexis, and the nation in
general, and by proclaiming her recovery, the
unhappy Princess Caroline, already the sport of
such cruel fate, would expose hrrsclf to perish
sooner or later by a more certain blow. She,
therefore, persuaded her wretched mistress, who
had scarcely strength to undertake the journey
to seek refuge in Paris, under the escort of an
qld man, a German domestic. Having collected
as much money and jewelry as she was able,
the princess set opt, with her faithful servant,
wflq remained with her ip the character of a
father, which he sustained during his life; and
trqly possessed the feeljng anti tenderness as well
as the serpblance of a parent.
The tumult and noise of Paris, however, ren
dered it a place of sojourn, ill adapted to the
mind of Caroline, and to l;er desire of conceal
ment. Her small establishment having been
increased by a single maid servant, she accord
ingly embarked for Louisiana, where the French,
who were then in possession of this lovely por
tion of North America, had formed extensive
colonies. Scarcely was the young and beauti
ful stranger arrived at New Qrlcans than she at
tracted the attention of every one. There was
in that place a young man named Moldqsk, who
held an office in the colony; he had travelled
much ip Hussia, and believed that he recognised
the fair stranger; but he knew not how to per
suade himself that the daughtcr-in-Jaw of the
Czar Peter copld in reality be reduced to so low
a condition, and he dared not betray to any one
his suspicions of her identity, He offered her
supposed farther his friendship and assistance;
and soon his attentive and pleqsing manners
rendered him so acceptable to both, that a mutu
al intimacy induced them to join thejr fortunes
and establish themselves in the same habitation.
It was nqf long before the news of the death
of Alexis reached them through the public jour
nals. Then M°ldask could po longer conceal
his doubts of the true condition of Caroline, and
finding that he was not deceived, he offered with
respectful generosity to abandon his pursuits, and
to sacrifice his private fortnne, that he might re
conduct her to Moscow. But the princess,
whose bitterest moments had been there passed,
preferred after her adventurous flight to live far
from the splendor of the court, in tranquility
apd honorable obscurity. She thanked the noble
hearted Moldask; but implored him, instead ol
such splendid offers, to preserve her secret invio
lable, so that nothing might trouble her present
felicity. He promised, and he kept his promise;
his heart earnestly desired her happiness, in
which his own felicity was involved. Living
under the same roof, in daily communion, their
equal age and ardent feelings kindled in the
young man’s soul a livelier flame than mere
friendship; but respect controlled it, and he con
cealed his love in his own bosom.
At length the old domestic, who ip the charac
ter of a fqrther had shielded the princess, died,
and was followed to the tomb by (he sincere
grief of his grateful mistress—a just recompense
for such fidelity. Propriety forbadefl that Mol
dask and Caroline shqyld inhabit together the
same dwelling after this event. He loved her
truly, but loved her good fame more, and explain
ed to her, not without grief, that it was necessa
ry that be should seek another abode, unless she,
who had renounced all thought of pride and
rank, were content to assuipe a name dearer
and more sacred still than that of a friend. He
gave her no reason to believe that vanity instead
of love was the origin of his proposal, since the
princess herself was firm in her desire to remain
happy in private life. With all delicacy he
sought to assure her that he could not but re
member, in case of a refusal, that it was scarcely
undeserved. Nor could he ever forget how much
was exacted from him by the almost regal birth
of her whose hand he dared to aspire,
Love, and her defenceless condition, induced
the princess willingly to consent; and, in consti
tuting his felicity, she increased her own.—
Heaven blessed so happy a union; and in due
time an infant bound still closer the marriage tie.
Thus the princess Caroline, bom of noble blood,
destined to enjoy grandeur, homage, even a
throne—having abandoned the magnificence of
her former state, in private life fulfilled all the
duties of nature and of society,
Years passed happily on, until Moldask was
attacked with a disease that required the aid of q
skilful surgeon. Caroline was unwilling to
confide a life so precious and beloved to t’ie care
of surgeons of doubtful skill, and therefore re
solved to visit Paris, She persuaded her hqs
band to sell all his possessions, and to embark,
The winds were propitious to this pilgrimage;
and the medical skill of Paris restored Moldask to
health. Being now perfectly cured, the husband
sought employment on the island of Bourbon;
and was successful.
Meanwhile, the wife was one day walking
with her graceful little girl in a public garden, as
was her wont. She sat down on a green bank,
and conversed with her child in German, when
the Marshal of Saxony, passing by, was struck
with the German accent, and stayed to observe
them. She recognized him immediately, and
fearing the same from him, bent her eyes to the
ground. Her blushes and confusion convinced
the Marshal that lie was not mistaken; and he
criefl out, “ How, Madame 1 What do I sec 1
Is it possible]” Caroline suffered him not to
proceed, but drawing him aside she declared
herself, praying him to keep sacred the needful
trust, and to return with her to her dwelling,
where she might with greater care and security
explain her situation. The Marshal was faith
ful to his promise, visited the princess many
times, though wjth all due precaution, and
heard and admired her history, He wished to
inform the King of France that this august lady
might be restored to her rightful honors and
rank, and that he himself Blight thus complete
the good w&rk begun by feis mother, the Coun
tess of Konigsmark. But Caroline wished nei
ther to consent, nor openly oppose his design.—
She asked him to dclcr this project until certain
plaqs now pending were accomplished, the ter
mination of which could not long be delayed.—
Thus she, too happy in being united to a wise
and virtuous consort, and contented to liye m
happy obscurity, kept the Marshal at bay\
Near the end of the specified time, he again
called to visit her, and learned that two days
previous she had departed with her husband for
the isle o.f Bourbon. Re qnickly informed the
King of all, who gave orders-through the Qov-.
ernor of the island that Moldask and his wife
shonld be treated with the greatest consideration,..
Afterwards he treated with the Empress Maria
Theresia what way her august aunt should be
restored to the splendor flue to her rank. The
haughty wife and mother of tfle Czar knew how
to please the most Christian King, and not less
generously sent letters to Caroline, in which she
invited her to Vienna, promising to overwhelm
her with distinctions. But Caroline foreseeing
that a return to her pristine rani; at this regal
court would debar her from fulfilling the duties
of a wife and mother, in which all her felicity
consisted, refused this offer courageously; slut
without haughtiness. “I am so used,” she said
to the officer, \yho proposed to recqnduct her to
the court—“ J oil) so \(sed to this flqqiestic and
private life that I will never change it. Neither
to be near a throne, nor to receive the richest
homage, nor to enjoy riches, nor even to pos,
scss the universe, would give me the shadow of
the pleasure and delight I feci at this moment.”
So saying, she embraced the one and the other
of her dear family.
She lived long with fler husband and daugh
ter, serene and contented, dividing her cares and
occupations between assisting and amusing the
one, and educating the mind and heart of the
other. Death snatched from h er > within a short
interval, these two beloved ones, who had filled
her heart with such sweet emotions; and, for a
long time, that heart was a prey to only one
sentiment qf thq deepest grief, yet not eyen
this sorrow affected her so much but that she
believed the unhappiness of grandeur to be still
greater. She constantly refused the repeated
invitations to Vienna, and accepting oifly a
small pension from the liberality of the Em
press, slie retired to Vitry, near Paris, where she
wished still to pass under the nqme of Madame
Moldask; but it was impossible longer to conceal
her high and illustrious ancestry. Notwithstan
ding this, sfle never abandoned her (teeqatomed
simplicity and retirement of life, iq which alone
she hafl begun (o £s<}> qnd found it to thp last,
truo felicity.

RIPTON ROWDIE,
In theory, Ripton Rowdic had what, in the
vernacular, is called a “Boss;” but the whole
matter was so indefinite and intangible, that the
aforesaid Boss could not for a long time make it
out cleayly which of the two was the authorita
tive and superior person. It was plain enough,
every Saturday night proved the fact, that Ripton
Rowdie received a salary—-but what ij was for--;
whether it was to be productive of advantage sq
him that paid it, or solely conductive to the bene
fit and comfort of him who received U> this ad
mitted of question in the mind of Mr. Stubbs,
“It is trqe,” thought Stqbbs, as he reflected
on the subject, “that for the consideration paid I
call Ripton Rowdie my man—l can blow Riptoji
Rowdie up, whenever I feel cross, and pray call
him hard names when he is in pretty good hu
mor, and floes no,t want to fight, but that is hard
ly a satisfaction for the money, I can also tell
him to do things which he does or leaves it alone,
just as he chooses; and oan send him of ersands,
too, if I like, which I don’t do very often, because
he stays away tfle balance of tfle dqy—and lam
not sure that this is a satisfaction for the money.
He boards with me, hesidcs, for the sake of con
venience ■ and economy, but really, as he eats
more than all the rest together, to say nothing of
his bolting iq and out, all hours qf the night, I
don’t think I am a gainer by the bargain.”
“See here, Ripton Rowdie,” exclaimed Stubbs
aloud to this man, who sat at once warmly with
his heels on the stove, and coolly, with an inter
minable cigar in his mouth without the least re
gard to the shop, allowing Stubbs to do the busi
ness, while he puffed dull care away in clouds of
smoke, as if dull care were a musquitto; “look
here; Ripton Rowdie, I am not going to stand
your cuttings up any longer* and that’s the short
of it.”
•‘The long of it and the short of it,” replied
Ripton Rowdie, amiably, “makes tho whole of it,
don’t they ?”
“Ripton, I’ve bailed you out too often.”
“Ncyer get tired of bailing, Mr* Stubbs, or
you’ll sink,” advised liiptaq.
“ And I wouldn’t mind tflat so much, If it wasn’t
that yqu always have an alarm qf flre whenever
there’s any thing to do, and leave me to do it.”
“And who, I’d like to kqow, has a better right
to do it than you have; when it*s your business
more than mine? And then, as to fires, it’s not
my fault they come at the wrong time; did you
ever know fires to have manners, and to wait till
they are wanted? I never know’k a Philadel
phia fire to do that in my life, unless somebody
wanted to make a spec oqt of the Insurance offi
ces, by having an accident on purpose. Why do I
go to fires! It’s spirit that asks me, public spirit.
How are things to get along at all, if nobody’s
got no spirit 1”
“Bqt you never ask mc-rsyou go out to fires
of yourself?
“That’s because fires wants manners, as I told
you before, and won’t go oqt of themselve so we
have to go out to the fires, Why, old Stubbs, if
there w r as any more like you, Millerism would
come true in less than a week.”
“But whenever you do go to a fire, you arq
sure to get youself into a fight; and then you
come about the shop with a black eye, or a thumb-,
stall on your nose, or yqqr arm in a sling.”
“That’s the ornamental part, putting out fires
is the useful, and the rumpus is the beautiful.-r
It’s spirit, too. If the fire don’t want all our
spirit, then we make a Christmas box of it to
somebody that does. But it’s of no use talking
to them that’s not eddicated up to the same notch
that you are eddicated up to—people that’s gqt
no spirit, hq\y can they understand them that’s
fifll of spirit,
“But you never stop for me, if I was to sing
out ever so loud!”
“Stubbs, this is a land of liberty, where we
stand no sort of nonsense, and every ma n does
just as he likes, in when he likes, out when he
likes. Don’t I help you when I’m in the humor?
Would you put me in a coop like a chicken?”
“ And then you’re in every riot.”
“That, you see, because I’m part of the public
opinion. Public opinion says aqfl
here comes me with my brick. What’s public
opinion without plenty of brickbats ? Then per
haps public opinion says thump somebody ; and
that’ me q thumping. Public opinion says burn
a house down! and who but me a burning it down.
It’s well there’s somebody to take care of the pub
lic, or, things would sopn get into a splendid
fix.”
“You’re always dodging unflef the counter
right before the customers. What’s that for?”
“That’s public opinion again* When you see
an ugly custooocr, with an uukimnrflu big stick,
and on unkiuuuen white hat, and a sort of tak
ing way with him, him, perhaps he may want
you, inconvenient and unpleasant; and then pub
lic opinion bays dodge, and I dodges. And it’s
the surest game, too, for lads of spirit arc often
sent for by his Honor tfle Mayor. Ketch me in
that neighborhood when it’s olaylight Public
opinion says no, and I respect public qpinion, al
ways, if it says run, I’d like to see who can ketch
Ripton Rowdie.”
“ Very well, then, I am a bit of public opinion
and public opinion says ‘never let me see you
about my premises anymore.’ Go, I forgive you
what you have borrowed, he off at once.*’
NUMBER 16.
Ripton Rowdie was astonished and amazed;
but it was vain to remonstrate when the current
of public opinion was setting ,so strong against
him; and he wandered modily to. the window of
the next shop, a,t he stood growling at
Stubbs, on the c|oor step.
“ Whenever I ketch Stubbs where there’s no
witness, I’ll give him a little the most striking bit
of public opinion he ever felt in his life. He won’t
be able to tell whether its public opinion or a horse
that kicked him, old Stubhs,”
THE TASMS,
An affecting story of the Mountain, pavers.
BT LEIGH HUNT.
Not many years ago. we read in a book the
story of a lover who was to witt bis mistress by
carrying her to the top of a high mountain, any!
how he did vrin her, aiid hovy they ended their
days on the same spot.
* Rethink the scene was in Switzerland, but
the mountain, though high enough to tax his
stout heart to the uttermost, must have beep
among the lowest, Let us fancy it a good lofty
hill, in the summer fiiqc. It was, at any rate, so
higti that the father of the lady, a proud noble,
thought it impossible for a young iuqn, burdened,
to scale it - For this reason alone, in scorn he
bade him do it, and his daughter shppld he his,
The peasantry assembled ip the valley to wit*
ness so extraordinary a sight. - They measured
the mountain with their eyes; they communed
with one another, and sfipok their heads; but
all admired the young man, aqd some of his fel
lows, looking at . their mistresses, thought they
could do as much. The father was on horseback
—apart and sullen, repenting that he had sub
jected his daughter even to the shadow of such a
hazard ; but he thought it would teach his inferi
or a lesson,
The young man, (the son of a small landed
proprietor, who bad some pretensions to w ealth,
byt not to nobility,) stood respectful looking, byt
confident, rejoicing in his heart, thgt he should
win his mistress, though at the cost of a noble pain,
which he could hardly think of as a pain, consid
ering who it \vas he was’ to carry. If he died for
it, he should at least have her ip arms, and
have looked her in the face, T° clysp her person
in that manner, was a pleasure he contemplated
with such transports as ‘ is known only to real
lovprs; fqr pqpe others fenow respect heightens
the joy of dispensing with formality, and how
dispensing with formality ennobles’ and makes
greater the respect, ‘j’he lady stood by the side
of him, pale, desirous, and dreading, She thought
her lover would succeed, but only because pfie
thought him ip every respect the noblest of his
sex, and that nothing was tqo mych fpr hjs
and strength. Great fears came over her never
theless. She knew not what might happen in
chances common to all. She felt the bitterness
of being herself the burden to him and the task;
and dared neither to look at her father nor the
mountain. • She fixed her eyes, n°W on the
crowd which she beheld not, and now on her
hands and finger’s ends which she doubled up
towards her with pretty pretence, the only de
ception she had ever used. Once or twice a
daughter or a mother stepped opt of the crowd,
and coining up to her, notwithstanding the fears
of the Lord Baron, kissed the hand which she
knew not what to do with,
The father said, “Now, sir, put an end to this
mummery,” and the lover, turning pale for the
first time', took up the lady,
The spectators rejoice to see the manner in
which he moves offi sloyr bpt sure, as if to encour
age his mistress, |hoy mount the hill ; (hey pro
ceed well; hp baits an instant before he gets
midway-, and seeiqs refusing something, then as
cends at a quick rate, and now, being the mid
way pojnt, shifts the lady from oqu side to the
other. The spectators give a shout, Tbe baron
with an air of indifference bites tho end of his
gauntlet, and then casts on them a look of re
buke. At the shout, the lover resumes his way-
Slow, but not feeble, is his step, yet its slower.
Ife stops again, and they see the lady kiss him
on the forehead. The w omen begin to tremble,
but the men say he will be victorious. He re
sumes again—he is half way between the middle
and top—he rushes, he stops, he staggers, but he
does not fall. Another shout from the men, and
he resumes once more his task; two-thirds of
the remaining part of die way to conquer They
are certain the lady kisses him on the forehead
and on the eyes. ‘Tbe women burst into tears,
and the stoutest men looked pale. He ascends
slower than ever, but seems to be more sure.—
He halts, but it is only to plant his fqqs qt every
step, and then gaining ground with on effort, the
lady lifts her arms as if to lighten him, See, he
js almost at the top; fie stops, fie struggles, he
moves sideways, taking ypfy short steps and
bringing one foot every fin}e plqso Jo the other.
Now he is all but on tho top, he halts again; he
is fixed; he staggers. A groan goes through
the multitude. Suddenly he turns full front to
wards the top; it is luckily almost a level; he
staggers, bpt it is forward. Yes, ever)'limb in
the multitude makes a movement as if it would
assist hirq- See, at last he is oq the top, and
down he fqlls, with hi§ burden, An enormous
shout! Jle lias won !!! lie has won !1! Now
fie has a right to. caress his mistress, and she is
caressing him, for neither of thern get up. If he
has fainted, it is with joy and it is ip her arms.
The baron put spurs tq his horse, the crowd
following him. Half way he is ohliged to dis
mount ; they ascend the rest of the hill together,
the crowd silent and happy—the baron ready to
burst with shame and impatience. They reach
the top. The lovers are face to face on the
ground, lady clasping bun with both arms,
his laying on each side.
“ Traitor!” exclaimed the baron, “thou hast
practiced this feat before, on purpose to deceive
me. Arise 1”
“You cannqt expect it, sir-,” said a worthy man,
who was rich enough to, speak his mind, “Samp
son himself might take his rest after such a deed
as that.”
“Part them!” said the baron.
Several persons went up, not to part them, but
to congratulate and keep them, together. The
people look close; they kneel down; they bend
an ear; they bury their faces upon them, “(Jod
forbid they should ever he parted more said a
venerable man ; “they never can be.” He
turned his old face, streaming with tears, and
looked up at the baron. “Sir, they are dead !”
A Conscientious late Ro
ger M. Shcnnan, one of the most eminent law?
yers that Connecticut has ever seen, states his
principles as to ligation in thcge words • “I have
ever considered it as one of tire first moral du
ties of a lawyer, and have always adopted 4in
my own practice, never to encourage a ground
lees suit or a groundless defence ; and to dis
suade a client from attempting either of them in
compliance with his animosities; or with the hon
est prepossessions of his own judgement; and I
ever deemed it a duty, in a doubtful case, to point
to every difficulty, & so far as I could, to discour
age unreasonable anticipations of success.”—*
When will the time come for such to be tljc p
sual practice of lawyers ?”
A Touching Scene. —We attended tire fu
neral of a neighbor yesterday afternoon, (says the
N. Y. Commercial Advertiser of Monday,) where
the deceased had died after a short illnew, leav
ing a widow and three or four young children.—
Just as the coffin was lifted, by the porters, to be
carried to the place of interment, one of ifie lit
tle innocents exclaimed, in a most pathetic tone:
“ Mamma, where are they going to carry
papa V*
We leave it to a fond parent; and an endeared
companion in life, to estimate the feelings that
must have pervaded the heart of the widow and

From th? Olive Branch, •
BONE MANURE,
Twenty years ago, if any one hod alluded tq
the possibility of enhancing the temporary fer
tility of land by the application of so apparently
ineffective and inefficacious a substance as ground
fiones, he would in all probability have been
considered as a fit subject for q inad-houae^—.
Even at this day veiymany of our ojd-fashione'd
conversative friends of the plough, scout the
idea as essentially mouoin&niacal and absurd
they cannot believe thqt so dry a substance pen-,
sesses any-inherent virtues, aiid like the old wo-,
man, when informed that the world actually
possessed a rotary movement around ita own
axis, and that she was half the time ‘ topsy tur
vy,’ they are fain to shake their heads at the
assertion, and give vent to their scepticism in nq’
measured strains. Yet could they enter the labor
atory ofthe analytical chemist, and witnessthebone
in a process of analysis, and the results of that op-,
oration, as explained by the chemist himself, they
would at once be convinced, doubt would flee
from their minds, qqd. the possibility of bone
manure being a viable adjunct in the
labor of vegetable production and enrichment,
be confirmed by the clearest and most irrefraga
ble proof.
We hqve sat down this evening, for the
pose of conversing upon this important topic,
and have called in o\if friend Pcztholdt, intro
duced to us of late by the gentlemanly anil ac
complished editor of the ‘Farmer’s f.ibraiyiq
order that our ‘preachments’ may be orthodox
ans canonical; for, on a subject of so much im-_
portance to the interests of the great and highly
respectable class of citizens with whom, tye are
identified, and whose friendship we are proud to
recognize, it is highly important that our corolla
ries shovld. be strictly auu whoily t right,’ Ac
cording to this High Priest of Science, bones,
whether animal or man consist of an animal
substance which chemists denominate gelatine in
combination with certain inorganic matters. The
gelatine is employed in the production of glue,
and the other parts of the bone, which remain
after calcination, arc the inorganic salts; and
these exist in such preponderating quantity as to.
cause the bone, after the iteration of burning,
tq retain its original form. The action of fire
upon the bone modifies its physical texture only
in so far as it deprive? it of its gelatine. It
consequently assumes a whitish hue, loses so,
mewhftt of its weight, and becomes more brittle
and more easily tritorated or reduced to powder.
Os the mammalia and of man, tfip amount of or
ganic matter mqy be assumed to he from 32 tq
33 per cent; and of this amount more than 5 per.
cent is nitrogen—the remaining 67 or 68 per.
cent Os inorganiq matters being principally phos*.

The analysis of boyc? which follows, is froiq
Berrelius:—
Human Bones sQsesof Oxen t
Animol matter (gelatine) 33,3,0 33,30
Soda, with common sail 1,20 2,45

Fluoride of Alcium 2,00 2,90
Phosphate of Magnesia 1,16 2,05,
100,00 100,00
It has been assumed that the nitrogen con
tained in the gelatinous substance of bones inn
part§ to. them their fertilizing power; but experi
ence has demonstrated that hones which have
been calcined, and f CQqrse, entirely deprived of
their gelatine, possess tbe power of fertilization
in a degree superior to those which have not —
‘The presence of the nitrogenius organic con
stituent of % hones, therefore/ says Petzholdt,
‘must he considered to act as an obstacle to the
rapid manifestation of their fertilizing influence.*
We have often been surprised OU witnessing
the want of economy manifested by some of
our most enterprising and intelligent farmers iq
reference to this important ageqt of fertility. It
would seem, indeed, qs if they regarded it as of
no aqfi its preservation as an utter
aqcl total waste of time. Y et W® doubt not if it
should be properly economized and applied iq
the manner of the’ gqlid excrements, the quanti
ty afforded by a stock of cattle would be of more
value than theif dung. The expense of saving
it need he but triffing, qs there are numerous
mqdes by whtph if could be preserved without
the incqrment of any considerable outlay, which
would be a decided and permanent benefit tq
the premises,
Wc hope to hear that some of our agricultu
ral reader?, arc in the habit of attending to this
important matter, especially those who have
large farms and many cattle,
mwhat should a farmer be r
A Farmer should be industrious. —ln no de-.
partment of life, without industry, can any thing
valuable or important be achieved. There is
such a thing as an idle fanner, “true, it is, and a
pity ’tis true but an idle, successful fanner, is
something the world has not yet seem ffq
where is persevering industry more needed than
an the fturm, and uo where is well directed labor
better rewarded. When we say that a fanner
should be industrious, we do not mean that ho
should he a slave, There is among farmers,
perhaps a majority at the present time a feverish
disposition to become rich, a disposition to go
ahead, which renders rost impossible, and hardly
allows time to eat or sleep—such men are subject
to a taskmaster of the most imperious character,
gnd one from which they should make no delay
in freeing themselves, The farmer can have,
and he who manages his affairs well, will always
have his hoprg pf relaxation—hours to spend with
his friends, and hours to devote to the improve
ment of his mind., The way to insure this, is alt
ways to b.e before hand with the labor pf tho
farm, and neyer allow himself to be crowded,
More work should never be laid out than is
compatible with this rule ; and the work that ia
required to bo done to-day should never be dc?
ferred till to-morrow* The difference in th e case
with which labor is performed, when done in the
right fime, or when we are driven to it by urgent
necessity, is so great, that attention to. this point
alone, would in performing a given amount of
labor, make a most material addition to the far
mer’s hours of rest aud improvement,
