Tlie Coquette generally meets with the most constant attention ; such is the perver sity of human affairs—love affairs especially. The writer of the following seems to have hail proof of the mclancholly truth : I know her fulso, l know her base, 1 know that gold alone enn move her; I know she jills me to my face. And yet, ye gods, 1 know 1 love her. I sec too plain, and yet am blind. Would think her true ; while she, forsooth, To me and to my rival, kind. Court him, court me, and jilts us both ! Lore is but a solitary leaf, hut neither storm nor blight can faile it; like the per fume that a deal flower sends forth, it is sweet when all the gay sunshine has depart ed ; when all its bloom is past, it has the fragrance of memory ; it is the last lingering beam,that glows long after the sun and stars havessea refuge from the tempestuous and bereaving storms of life. Cigars. —lt appears from the subjoined advertisement, copied from an old Boston newspaper, that cigars first came into fash ion about the year 1700: “Brought from Havana, a box of cigars, a very tare article! The best of tobacco rolled up to the size of a small finger, and of about, five inches in length, for smoking. They are preferred by the Spanish dons to the pipe. Those who may wish to enjoy such a luxury, will please cull and try them. WILLIAM STOCKTON.” 1 ■ ‘ imm.umm i II .1. J THE ©MB©UE b A CHILD’S PRAYER. 11Y SAMUEL C. PRAY, JR. Heavenly Father, Guide and Friend, At thy throne this morn I bend ; Grant a blessing to my prayer — Grant the kindness of thy care ; Make this little time with thee Full of sweet tranquility; Hear me as in prayer I bend— Hear and bless, O Guido and Friend ! Through the day—its every hour, lie around me with thy power; Guide until my life is run — Guide and watch thy little one. Not a sparrow flies o’er earth, But thou spreadst its pinions forth ; Thus, my Father, guide me now, While in praise to thee I bow. Teach the world to learn, O Lord, All the blessings of thy word ; Glad the isles that gem the deep— Glad the pagan climes, and keep Ever in thy “Idrious reign All that tempt in ships the main ; O’er the world thy spirit send— Aid mankind, O Guide and Friend ! “Young men, be cautious with whom you associate, and never give your company or your contidence to persons of whose good principles you are not certain. No person that is-an enemy to God, cad be a friend to man. He that has already proved himself ungrateful to tlie author of every blessing, will not scruple, when it will serve his turn, to shake off a fellow worm like himself.— lie may render you instrumental to his own purposes, but be will never benefit you.— A bad man is a curse to others, as he is se cretly, notwithstanding all his boasting and affected gaiety, a burden to himself. Shun him as you would a serpent in your path.— Be not seduced by his rank, his wealth, his wit, or his influence. Think of him as al ready in the grave—think ofliim as already standing before the tribunal of Almighty God. This awful reality will instantly strip off all that is now so imposing, and present him in his true light, the object rather of your compassion and of your prayers, than of your wonder or imitation.” SONG OF THE DYING. Disease had well nigh done its work— the flame but glimmered in the socket—one moment more, and it would be out. The dying girl called, by lier waving band, her sister to her, and faintly breathed forth the wish that she would sing—sing some sweet melody, that she might leave earth with the tones of inspiring music lingering on her car. “And what, dear sister, would you choose for me to sing?” “Sing, Harriet, my favorite—l leave earth willingly,” said the dying girl. The sister well knew her choice, and she sat down to the instrument and brought forth its softest, sweetest tones; they were, indeed, born of heaven, and never had music a holier influence than when it breathed forth the elevated thoughts of a dying one, dying in the beauty of lier youth, and yet willing to depart. We look ed on her with sacred awe; we felt we were in the presence of a being of another world, who was soon to know the mystery of death. What a calm and beautiful expression was on her countenance! What a glow was on her cheek, and a brilliancy in her eye, as the notes of the favored song rose sweet and clear, and seemed to float around the couch of the dying ! Oil! is not that religion worth possessing, that enabled her to wear a heavenly smile at the last moment, and show that she felt tlie words that were uttered, though she could not speak them! And she died as the sister repeated— “ I would not live nlwny, nwny from my God, Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode.” There was much to wean thee away, fair sister of the gentle speech and tender eye! “Stormafterstoiin” did, indeed, “risedark o’er thy way,” and heaven was fairer to thee titan earth. And when the pale conqueror cometh to bear me froth this shadowy world, may thy 6weet cheerfulness he mine, ami some gentle one sing me to death’s sleep as thou weit. Sw’eet sister! we part from earth’s melody, for the purer and nobler harmonies of heaven! The strains that greet us as we linger on the shores of mor tality are not the last, for there are harps and voices in that home which awaits us all, and everlasting songs will be sung to the praise of our Father and our God! Society. —No one living in society can be independent. The world is like a watch dog, which fawns upon you, or tears you to pieces. [ SUCCESS IN LIFE. Few persons conversant with the world have failed to remark that, in the race of life, men of moderate means and attain ments frequently outstrip competitors, en dowed equally by the smiles of fortune and the gifts of genius. It is told of Chancellor Thin low, on being consulted by a parent as to the best means bis son could adopt to se cure success at the bar, that he thus address ed him: “Let your son spend his own for tune, marry, and spend his wife’s, and then go to the bar; there will be little fear of his failure.” Whence this recommendation ? The man of certain independent, means, Thurlow’s observation had taught him, does not lay his shoulder to the wheel as he who is urged on by the “res august a domi ,” and hence, as the simple result, ho is distanced. The illustration of this truth may he observ ed every day, particularly in the learned professions. It should he ever home in mind, that success in life is not regarded by the wise man as an end, but as a mean of happiness. The greatest and most continu ed favors of fortune cannot, in themselves, make an individual happy; nor can'the de privation of them render altogether miser able the possessor of a clear conscience and well-constituted mind. The sum of human enjoyment is not, cannot he, derivable from one source; many circumstances must con tribute to it. “One principal reason,” re marks Bentliam, “ why our existence has so much less of happiness crowded into it than is accessible to us, is. that we neglect to gather up those minute particles of pleasure which every moment offers to our accep tance. In striving after the sum total, we forget the ciphers of which it is composed; struggling against inevitable results which we cannot control, too often man is heedless of those accessible pleasures, whose amount is by no means inconsiderable when collect ed together. Stretching out his hand to catch the stars, he forgets the flowers at his feet, so beautiful, so fragrant, so various, so multitudinous.” In conclusion, another most fertile source of human disappoint ment arises from having entertained ’ views of life altogether incompatible with the im perfect character of human nature, or the declared end of our probationary residence on this earthly planet. “What is it,” in quires Goethe, “that keeps men in continual discontent and agitation? It is, that they cannot make realities correspond with their conceptions—that enjoyment steals away from their hands—that the wished-for comes too late—and nothing reached or acquired produces on the heart the effect which their longing for at distance led them to antici pate.” Thales, one of the wise men of Greece. — A sophist, wishing to puzzle him with diffi cult questions, the sage of Miletus replied to them all without the least hesitation, and with the utmost precision. What is the oldest of all things ? ’ God, because he always existed. What is the most beautiful ? The world, because it is tho work of God. What is the greatest of all tilings? Space, because it contains all that lias heen created. Wbat is the most constant of nil tiling ? Hope, because it still remains in man after he has lost every thing else. What is the best of all thing; ? Virtue, because, without it, there is not!iing?gno(l What i3 the quickest of all things ? Thought, because in less than a moment it can fly to the end of the uni vet so. What is the strongest ? Necessity, be cause it makes men face all the dangers of fife. What is the easiest ? To give advice. What is the most difficult ? To know yourself. SUPERIORITY OF CHRISTIANITY. A FABLE. A Jew entered a Parsee temple, and be held the sacred fire ; “ What!” said he to the priest, “ do ye worship the fire ?” “ Not the fire,” answered the priest, “ it is to us an emblem of the sun, and his geni al heat.” “ Do you, then, worship the sun as your God ?” asked the Jew ; “ know ye not this luminary is but a work of the Almighty Cre ator ?” “ VVc know it,” replied the priest; “hut the uncultivated man requires a sensible sign in order to form a conception of Ihe Most High. And is not the sun, the incom prehensible source of light, an image of that invisible being who blesses and preserves all things ?” The Israelite thereupon rejoined, “Do your people, then, distinguish the type from the original ? They call the sun their God, and descending, even from this to a baser object, they kneel before an-earthly flame ! Ye amuse the outward, byt blind the inward eye, and while ye hold to them the earthly, ye withdraw from them the heavenly light. Thou slialt not make unto thee any image of any likeness.” “ How then do you desigt ate the Supreme Being ?” asked the Parsee. “ We call him Jehovah Adonia, that is, tho Lord who is, who was, and who will be,” ‘answered the Jew. “Your application is grand and sublime,” said the Parsec, “ but it is awful too !” A Christian then drew nigh and said, “we call him Father.” The Pagan and the Jew looked at each other and said, “Here is at once an image and reality ; it is a word of the heart.” Therefore they raised their eyes to hea ven, and said with reverence and love, Our Father ! And took each other by the hand, and all three called one another brothers! A newspaper taken in a family seems to shod a gleam of intelligence around. It gives the children a taste for reading; it communicates all the important events in the busy world ; it is a never-failing source of amusement, and furnishes a fund of instruc tion which will never be exhausted. Every family, however poor, if they wish to hold a place in the rank of intelligent beings, should take at least one newspaper. And the man who, possessed of property sufficient to make himself easy for life, surrounded by children eager for knowledge, is instigated by the vile spirit of cupidity and neglects to subscribe to a newspaper, is deficient in the duties of a parent or a good citizen, and is I deserving of the censure of his intelligent neighbors. . From the Plough Coy. Mr. Editor. —ls the East India experi ment in relation to Cotton, should prove a splendid failure,and turn out to be the greatest humbug of the age, the reasons for curtail ing our production, though not so cogent, still address themselves, with great force, to every planter, who desires to see his profes sion established upon a solid basis. \Y r e will not stop to inquire, whether the argu ments for or against the probability of its success preponderate ; nor do we regard it a matter of much importance to the Cotton planters of this continent, to go into abstract speculations, about the capacity of the East to drive us ultimately out of the European market ; our business is to treat the subject as though the success of the experiment were placed beyond the possibility of a doubt. We promised to show that the remedy for overproduction and consequent low prices, was practicable, and wo now pro ceed to redeem the pledge. The whole matter is resolved into the simple question, iiow is the production of Cotton to be cur tailed, anil the capital and labor diverted from it, to he more profitably invested ? Let it be taken for granted—as I am sure the proposition cannot be successfully controverted —that half the quantity of Cot ton now produced in the United States, sup posing the production to bo reduced one half, would yield to the planters as much money as they now realize for the whole; it follows that one .half their capital and la bor employed in the production of Cotton, is most improvidently thrown away. How could it he profitably invested ? In the first place in reclaimin'; exhausted lands, and making substantial improvements. Second ly, in raising every horse, mule, hog, cow and sheep, uecessary for the utmost com fort of the planter. These suggestions are so common place, that a stranger to the ruinous system heretofore practiced in the Cotton region, would be apt to discredit any evidence but that of his own senses, going to prove that any people upon the face of the globe, could neglect such cardi nal virtues in the wild pursuit of filthy lucre. But the catalogue is not yet complete. Be sides being dependent on Kentucky anil Tennessee, for a large proportion of the stock used and consumed, we are tributary to North Carolina for flutter, apples and cabbages ; to Virginia for tobacco ; to the New England States for shoes, hats, negro cloths, butter, cheese, Irish potatoes, pickled beef and pork ; to New York, Pennsyl vania, Maryland and Virginia for flour. In this enumeration I have purposely men tioned those articles only, which may as well beiaisedin the Cotton region, as in the States respectively, from which they are brought to us ; and it will be. recollected, that for every article purchased from the four first named States, we pay cash instead of produce in exchange ; and that the amount of southern produce consumed by the north, is nothing like an equivalent for the amount of northern produce and manu factures consumed at the south. But the capital to be diverted from the production of Cotton, may be profitably in vested in various other ways. Should Cot ton take the place of Hemp, iti the manu facture of bagging, rope, See., the number of factories should he increased. The plan ter may devote a portion of his skill and capital to making Silk Our soil and cli mate are admirably suited to the production of Indigo, and it is the opinion of an excel lent writer in one of our sister States, that it might lie profitably cultivated. More might he said upon this branch of the subject, but let us see what would be the effect of the course suggested, upon the ultimate pros perity of the country. R would make us an independent people, by throwing us on our own resources. We should form ha bits of economy, which would soon free us from debt, and cure the propensity for wild and reckless speculation, liy withdrawing tho facilities and temptations to its indul gence—a propensity more dangerous to the prosperity of the country, arid one which has already been more destructive to its best interests, than all other calamities besides. It is not extravagant to say, that t’ e unpa rallelled embarrassment and distress, which the country is groaning under, are wholly attributable to it; for although other causes operated to produce the calamitous results complained of, yet they were auxiliaries. The expansion of Bank issues has heen one of those auxiliaries, and not the sole induce ment to speculation. If the remedy which I have proposed lie applied with any rea sonable hope of success, it must be applied to all classes ; t; i the Banks as well as to the people ; and the effect will be to give us a sound currency —to make economy a car . dinal virtue—to make us independent of all foreign supplies of those commodities which we can produce ourselves, and for the pur chase of which we have been compelled to pay money, instead of an equivalent in our staple productions. In short, it will enable us to avail ourselves of the benefits of our position, which benefits have hitherto been pocketed by our sister States. Maintain ing as we should the excellent doctrine of free trade, we should encourage it, only on its true principles, those of reciprocal bur thens and benefits ; otherwise, we shall con tinue to be hewers of wood and drawers of water, to a pampered monied aristocracy, instead of being a people, proud of our in stitutions, our fields, our flocks, our firesides ami our altars, and nobly aspiring to an im perishable name among the nations of the earth. AItATOR. NEW MODE OF GRAFTING. Mr. Downing ofNcwhurg has lately prac tised with success, anew mode of grafting, the object being, to test the quality of fruits raised from seeds in a shorter period than ■ would l>e possible by permitting such seed lings to stand until their natural time of bearing. The method is, to put the top of a shoot from a seedling tree, of - a new varie ty, when it is desirable to procure a speci men of the fruit immediately, upon the top of a thrifty shoot of a middle aged and fruit bearing tree; the process being simply to take thrifty shoots about a quarter of an inch iu diameter, and cut them in a slantcn manner clear through, so as to detach about four inches of the top from the rest, making the line of the angle about an inch—being cut in the same manner. The backs are then to be carefully united and bound'up with yarn, covering the whole with grafted clay to exclude the air. By this mode, fruit may be obtained in a short period, so as to test its value at any early day; the opera tion being simple, with scarcely a fear of failure.— Horticultural Magazine. From the Southern Planter. NEW GROUNDS. From a conversation with out friend Mr. Thomas S. Dicken, whose practical knowl edge of farming is equal to that of any gen tleman with whom we are acquainted, we derive the following hints for the manage ment of new grounds: Cut down your trees in spring or summer, whilst the sap is in full flow; this expedites extremely the decay of the stumps and laps. Great advantage is obtained by cutting your trees as close as possible to the ground: your swingletree then passes over the top of the stump, and you can plough much closer to it; besides, the saving of fire-wood is considerable, and if the tree is a timber one, every body knows the most valuable part is that next to the ground. After removing your fire-wood, never burn the laps and leaves but permit them to remain upon the surface of the land two years, if possible; by that time if they were cut when the sap was up, they will be greatly decayed. Pro ceed then, to fallow your ground, turning in every thing that the plough can manage; if any large sticks remains undecayed, they must of course he removed by hand. This fallowing must be done during the fall or winter. In the spring, plant your corn and take a little pains to cover it with dirt as free from trash as possible. The process of decay still goes on, and a quantity of decom posed vegitable matter is obtained, much greater in quality and quantity, than could have beeti derived from the ashes of the burnt trash. Mr. Dicken, whose experience is very great, and who attends to every operation on his farm in person, informs us, that this system was once accidentally pursued, be cause it was not convenient to follow the old< and favorite plan of burning. He was as tonished at the result; he of course continu ed it and he assures us that lie has never seen such crops of new ground corn as it is sure to produce. Here, again, is the cover afforded to the land for two years producing extraordinary effects. Mr. Dicken gave no credit to this fact; but we'are satisfied that the office of covering and sheltering alone,-which the .trash had performed for two years, would have been worth more than any benefits that could have been obtained by burning. From the Gennessce Farmer. RELIEVING CHOKED CATTLE. Messrs. Gaylord <s* Tucker: —Having seen in the October number of the Cultivator for IS4I, an article from the pen of David F. Lott of this State, on the subject of choked cattle, I wish to give you my remedy for that difficulty. Last spring one of my milch cows fed on turnips was discovered to be j choked, and on examination, we Pound that ! a large and somewhat long piece of ruta ’ bagahad lodged about half way down the throat. To relieve her the cow was cast, a small device was put in her mouth, and several young lads from 10 to 15 years of age were urged to put their hands down her throat and endeavor to remove the root. They refused; seeing the cow must soon die, my wife (it was one of her favorite cows,) passed her arm down to the shoulder, and drew forth the obstruction; not, how ever, without having her arm much bruis ed either by the teeth of the animal or the iron. I immediately set about devising some easier and vet safe way of relieving cows, or other cattle similarly choked. 1 went to work and made what I shall call a piston, for freeing the throat of cattle from sub stances that may lodge in them. I made a rod of tough white oak, (l should prefer hickory,) three feet in length, with a knob on one end 1 1-2 inches in diameter; the end made hollowing while the other was of the same size for a handle. The middle part was worked down to 5-8 of an inch, so that it might be flexible, or spring, in case the animal should struggle. I made and placed my implement in my garret, and in a short time I had an oppor tunity of testing its merits. A poor man, a neighbor, had his cow choked with a potato, and when I learned her condition, those who had endeavored to relieve her had left her and gone home, satisfied she must die. On my arrival, the cow was much swelled, and breathed only with the greatest difficulty. The owner held her by one horn and the nose, while I took the under jaw in one hand, and with the other passed the piston gently down, shoving the potato about six inches; then drew out the rod carefully, and the cow walked away and began to graze. The whole was done in less than half a minute. The piston should he well oiled before using, and every owner of cattle would do well to have such a rod made • ’ against the time of need. JACOB VREELAND. j Houston co., N. Y. - - From the Southern Planter, j My dear sir: As you request communi- 1 cations upon the subject <rf household re ceipts and domestic economy, 1 take the j liberty of informing you that 1 have been I for several years substituting the flowers of j ■ the well known weed, called “life everlast , ing” for hops. Five or six years ago I was travelling through the county of Amelia, and observed an old negro woman in the field - by the way-side very busily employed in gathering these flowers. To my inquiries concerning the use to which they would be applied, she told me that her mistress used them instead of hops in making yeast. I laughed, and thought people must be put to it indeed when they gathered such weeds to make bread of. As I approached home I happened to observe a largo field of the “ life everlasting,” I gathered a quantity of the flowers, and carrying them home, rela ted the circumstance to my wife; she tried them, and from that day to this 1 have never bought a pound of hops. These are in no respect inferior, and I have never seen more j ’ beautiful bicad than that made up with the yeast of these flowers. Every year we send out and gather a bag of them, which is hung up and keeps as well as a bag of hops. Hoping this communication may be the means of saving some expense and a little trouble to many of your numerous leaders, I remain, Your obedient servant, JOHN TURPEN. Manchester. A MAN OF FEW WORDS. A young man some time since arrived at a certain inn, and after alighting from his horse went into the traveller’s room, where lie walked backwards and forwards for some time displaying the utmost self-importance. At length lie rang the bell, and upon the waiter’s appearance, give him an order near ly as follows: . “ Waiter 1” “ Sir.” “ I am a man of few words, and don’t like to be continually ringing the bell, and disturbing the house ; I’ll thank you to pay attention to what Isay.” “ Yes, Sir,” replied the waiter. “In the first place, bring me a glass of brandy .and water (cold) with a little sugar, and also a tea-spoon; wipe down this table, throw some coals on the fire, and wipe down the hearth; bring mo a couple of candles, pen, ink, and paper, some wafers, a little sealing wax, and let me know what time the post goes out; tell the ostler to take care of my horse, dress him well, stop his feet, and let me know when lie's ready to feed ; order the cham ber-maid to prepare me a good bed, take care that the sheets are well aired, and put a clean night-cap and a glass of water in the • room; send the boots with a pair of slip pers that. I can walk to the stable in ; tell him I must have my boots cleaned and bro’t into the room to-night, and 1 shall want to be called at five o’clock in the morning ; ask your mistress what I can have for supper, tell her I should like to have a roast duck, or something of that sort; desire your mas ter to step in I want to ask him a few ques tions about the drapers of this town.” The waiter answered, “Yes, Sir,” and then went to the landlord, and told him a gentleman in the parlor wanted a great many things, and amongst the rest he wanted him, and that was all he could recollect. A Sailor's Anecdote . —‘ Talking hack’ we all know is a thing not allowed to 1 men be fore the mast.’ They do not ship to think, -! and consequently • obey orders if they break | owners.’ In a recent colloquy between two of those worthy children of Neptune, the following discourse took place : i Jack, what church do you sail in when f you’re ashore l The Episcopal, to be sure. ( Why so ? Because there they give a man a chance to ‘jaw back.’ No time to grow. —Some one asked a lad how it was that he was so short of his age ? -He replied, “Father always keeps me so busy, I lia’n’t time to grow !” — A good story is told of an old boatman from the Schuylkill, who repaired to the me nagerie in Philadelphia, and seeing all its wonders, thus addressed the chief exhibiter, “ Well, friend, I’ve seen all your big beasts, and zephyrs, and liienoes, and them things; . now where’s your menagerie ? where’s his j cage ? I want to look at him !” [ The Doctor is right. —A Dutchman, who | had been a long time in the use of spiritu ’ ous liquors, was at length persuaded to give ■it up and join the temperance society. A • few months after, feeling quite unwell, he ; sent for a physician, who prescribed for his 1 use one ounce of spirits. Not understand -5 ing what an ounce was, he asked a friend, i who told him that eight drachms make an : ounce. “Ah,” exclaimed the old Dutch ; man, “the doctor understands my case ex i actly. I used to take six drachms in a day, i and I always wanted two more.” A little fellow came mice to a tanner with a dog skin which he desired to sell, when the tanner enquired whether the skin had been taken off a fat dog l Ob, yes,exclaimed the hoy, it was taken off the fatest dog you ever saw; he was dreadful fat. O you never did ! see any thing like him ; he was as fat as— as fat as —O he was tarnation fat! But, says the tanner, I do not like the skin ot a fat dog ; it is in general too tender for service. Oh—but—well—l dotit know as I can say lie was so thunderin fat, after all! t Conscientious. —An English paper men-! tions that a magistrate at Cheltenham, on j taking his seat one morning not long since, j gravely announced that his dining-room j chimney had caught fire from not having ! been regularly swept, and he had in conse- j quence sentenced himself to pay half a crown, which he handed over to the clerk. This reminds us of a circumstance which was related to us as having occurred in the west not long since. A judge, one day dur ing the session of his court, after the ad : journment for dinner had taken place, j marched boldly up to a distinguished law- I yer, who had treated him somewhat cava lierly during a short time previous, and with i oat ceremony ended his ears and pulled his nose. On the meeting of the court in the ’ afternoon, he announced in the course of business, that he had committed a breach of the peace —which ought not to go unpunish ed—otherwise the person of no individual | would be safe. He therefore fined himself two dollars. Dernier resort. —After the representation of Atree, a tragedy full of horrors, one of Crehillon’s friends asked him why he had adopted such terrible representations:— “There was no choice left me,” says he, “Corneille has taken heaven, Racine the earth: you sec, sir, that nothing remains for me but hell.” Leanness. —When- the Duke de Chosen, a remarkably meagre man, went to London to negotiate a peace, Charles Townsend being asked whether the French govern ment had sent the preliminaries of a tretjty, answered, “ He did not know, but they had sent the outline of an embassador.” (t/®* Prqfessional and Business Cards,'not exceeding four lines, will be published one yearfor Five Dollars, in advance.
