A PRAYER.
Lord ! I have bowed with fervor at the shrine
Os Beauty, Fame, and Friendship! hut to thine
How coldly have I bent the formal knee;
The while my truant heart was far from thee.
But do thou aid nty weakness with the strength
Os thy sufficient Spirit; till, nt length,
I burst nty bonds, and from its throne is hurlrd
That worshipped Dagott of my heart—the World.
THE MIND BEYOND THE GRAVE.
BY MRS. SIGOURNEY.
We cannot but feel that we are beings of
a two fold nature—that our journey to tin
tomb is short, and the existence beyond it
immortal. Is there any attainment that we
may reserve, when we lay down the body !
We know, that of the gold that perishes,vu*
may take none with us when dust returned:
to dust. Os the treasures which the mind
accumulates, may we carry aught with us to
that bourne, whence no traveller returns'!
We may have been delighted with the stu
dies of nature, and penetrated into those
caverns where she perfects her chemistry in
secret. Composing and decomposing—
changing matter into nameless forms—pur
suing the suhtelest essences thitiugh the air.
and resolving even that air into its original
element—what will he the gain, when we
pass from the material to the immaterial,
and this great museum and laboralory, the
time-worn earth, shall dissolve in its own
central fires ? We may have become adepts
in the physiology of man—scanning the me
chanism of the eye, till light itsell unfolded
its invisible laws—of the ear, its most hid
den reticulations confessed their mysterious
agency with sound—of the heart, till that
citadel of life revealed its hermit policy—
but will these researches he available, in a
state of being which “eye hath not seen, nor
ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived !”
Will he who fathoms the waters, and com
putes their pressure ami power, have need
of his skill “where there is no more sea?”
Will the mathematician exercise the lore, by
which he measured the heavens—or the as
tronomer, the science which discovered the
stars, when called to go beyond their light?
Those who have penetrated most deeply in
to the intellectual structure of man, lifted
the curtain from the birthplace of thought,
traced the springs of action to the fountain,
and thrown the veiled and striking motive
into the crucible, perceive the object of their
study, taking anew form, entering disem
bodied an unknown state of existence, and
receiving powers adapted to its laws and
modes of intercourse. We have no proof
that the sciences, to which hours of labor
have been devoted, will survive the tomb.
But the impressions they have made—the
dispositions tliey-have nurtured—the good
or evil they have helped to stamp upon the
soul, will go with it to eternity. The ador
ing awe. the deep humility, inspired by the
study of the planets and their laws—the
love of truth, which he cherished who pur
sued the sciences thut demonstrate it—will
find a response among angels and arch
angels. The praise that was learned amid
the melodies of nature, or from the lyre of
consecrated genius, may pour its perfected
tones from a seraph’s harp. The goodness
taught in the whole frame of creation, by
the flower lifting its honey-cup to the insect,
and the leaf drawing its green curtain round
the nursing chamber of the smallest bird;
by the pure stream, refreshing both the
grass and the flocks that feed on it, the trees,
and the master of its fruits; the tender
charity caught from the happiness of the
humblest creature, will be at home in Ilis
presence, who hath pronounced himself the
“God of love.” The studies, therefore,
which we pursue, as the means of intellec
tual delight, or the instruments of acquiring
wealth and honor among men, are valuable
at the close of life only as they have promo
ted those dispositions which constitute the
bliss of an unending existence. Tested bv
its tendencies beyond the grave, teligion, in
its bearings and results, transcends all other
sciences. The knowledge which it imparts
does not perish with the stroke which dis
misses the body from its ethereal compan
ion. Whilst its precepts lead to the highest
improvement of this state of probation, its
spirit is congenial with that ineffable reward
to which we aspire. It is the preparation
for immortality, which should ho daily and
hourly wrought out* amid all the mutations
of time.
THE MOTHER.
In no relation does woman exercise so
deep an influence, both immediately and
prospectively, as in that of the infant mind.
Upon her devolves the care of the first
stages of that discipline, which is to form,
of a being perhaps the most frail and help
less in the world, the fearless r der of ani
mated creation, and the devout adorer of its
great Creator. Her smiles call into exer
cise the first affections that spring up in our
lieait. She cherishes and expands the ear
liest germs of our intellects. She breathes*
over us her deepest devotions. She lifts our
little hands and teaches our little tongues to
lisp in prayer. She watches over us. like a
guardian angel, and protects us through all
our helpless years, when we know not of
her cares and her anxieties on our account.
She follows us into the world of men and
lives in us; and blesses us, when she lives
not otherwise upon the earth. What con
stitutes the centre of every home 1 And if
there be a tribunal, where the sins and the
follies of a froward child may hope for par
don and forgiveness this side of heaven, that
tribunal is the heart of a fond and devoted
mother.
WEALTH.
Excessive wealth.is neither glory nor
happiness. • The cold ami sordid wretch
who thinks only of himself —who draws his
head within his shell, and puts it out only
for the purpose of lucre and ostentation—
who-looks upon his fellow-creatures not only
without sympathy, but with arrogance and
insolence, as if they were made'to he his
vassals, and he was made their lord—as if
they were made for no other purpose than
for his aggrandizement. Such a man may
he rich; hut trust me, he never can be hap
py, nor virtuous, nor great.
POETRY.
The poetry of the imagination, although
it may glitter more, is neither so rich nor so
glorious as the poetry of the heart. W e
have very few poets of the latter descrip
tion. In childhood,and sometimes in youth,
we are alive to the poetry of the heart.
While the mind is pure and nrtless, devoid
of everything that can be termed sinful—
free from anxious and corroding cares, all
nature appears tons very much as Eden ap
peared to our first parents. Everything
upon which we gaze seems to be good, and
lovely, and beautiful. Our hearts claim ac
quaintance with all that meets the eye, and
we feel deeply impressed hv every little
event which takes place around 11s. 1 o
uich poetry ns this, the lieatified inhabitants
if another world are no doubt awake; and
is they touch their golden limps, their livin',
souls seem to leap along the strings, am
float on rhe harmonious notes, ns they list
like incense to the great Fountain of love
ind joy. In this world poetry does not al
ways tningle with devotion, though I believe
that a poetic soul is generally impressed
more easily with devout sentiments tha
those minds which are of a more earthly
cast. But I believe that in the world t<
come, poetry and devotion become melted
into one—that we are rendered keenly and
acutely sensitive to all with which we hold
intercourse, and thus our bliss becomes
heightened into continual rapture. Indeed,
the representations of heaven which we
have in the scriptures, appear to favor such
an opinion.
THE TREASURE.
Almansor, a rich ami exalted Arabian, ate,
drank, gamed, and indulged himself in every
species of voluptuous dissipation. Once,
when he was tormented by thut irksome
ness, which is ever the follower of satiety,
he was struck with the curious desire of
visiting the sepulchre of his ancestors. He
descended, and wandered between rows of
rotting bones, not with the solemn reflection
that his own must, one day, he mixed wit!
them, hut -with the idea of a voluptuary, tha’
it was very cool and pleasant. Suddenly
his eye was attracted by an inscription.whic!
was half erased. It was this; “Here is
hidden a greater treasure than was ever
possessed by Croesus.” Almansor, whose
wealth was not in a small degree exhausted,
had the vault immediately opened, and
found—a handful of dust, under which was
a marble slab, containing these words:
“ Ere thou, deluded mortal, with daring
hand, profaned this vault, reigned here tin
interrupted peace—a treasure which Croesus
himself never possessed.”
TRUTHS.
Many a truth is like a wolf which we hold
by the ears—uftaid to let it escape, and yet
scarcely able to retain it. And why should
we let it go, if it he likely to worry or an
noy our neighbor? To promulgate truth
with a malicious intent, is worse than to in
fringe it with a benevolent one, inasmuch as
a pleasant deception is often better man a
nainful reality. It was a saying of the sel
fish Fonteuelle, that if he held the most im-|
pot taut truth, like a bird in his hand, he 1
would sooner crush it than let it go. Les
sing, the German, on the contrary, found
such a delight in the investigation of truth,
that lie professed his readiness to make >vei
all claim as to its discoverer, provided hi
might he allowed to pursue it. Norcan wi
wonder at his holy ardor; for, to follow
truth to its source, is to stand at the foot
stool of God.
DOMESTIC LIFE.
Pleasure is to women what the sunistothe
flower; if moderately enjoyed, it beautifies,
it refreshes and it improves; if immoderate
ly, it withers, deterioates and destroys. Bui
the duties of domestic life, exercised, as
they must he, in retirement, and calling forth
all the sensibilities of the female, ate per
haps, as necessary to the development of her
charms, as the shade and shower are to the
rose, confirming its beauty and increasing
its fragrance.
PRAYER.
To show that the weak performance ol
prayer is better than none at all, an old an
thor tells the following story of an ignoran
Papist in Spain. He perceived the necessity
of his own private prayers, beside the Putct
Noster, Ave Maria, etc. But so simple wa
he, that how to pray he knew not; only
every morning, humbly bending his knees,
and lifting up his eyes and bauds to heaven,
he would deliberately repeat the alphabet.
“And now,” said lie, “(), good God! put
these letters together to spell syllables, to
spell words, to make such sense as may he
most to thy glory and my good.” And so
(says the old writer) let ns do too; if \v
cannot pray as we would, or as we ought
let us fall to this poor man’s alphabet.
SENSE OF DUTV.
* UV IUMKI, WGIISTER.
A sense of duty pursues us ever. It is
omnipresent like tin? Deity. If we take to
ourselves the wings of the morning, and
dwell in the utmost parts of the seas, duty
performed, or duty violated, is still with us,
for our happiness or our misery. It’ we say
the darkness shall cover ns. in the darkness
as in the light our obligations are yet with
us. We cannot escape their power, nor fly
from their presence. They are with us iii
this life, will lie with us at its close; ami in
that scene of inconceivable solemnity winch
lies yet further onward, we sh ill find our
selves surrounded by the consciousness of
duty to pain us whenever it has been vio
lated, and to console ns so far as God may
have given us grace to perform it.
The right employ-ment of wealth. —On the
subject ot the light employment of wealth,
Johnson says, a man cannot make a had use
of his money, as far as regards society, if he
do not hoard it; for if lie either sjiends it
or lends it out, society has the benefit. It
is in general lietter to spend money (espe
cially for useful purposes) than “to give it
away; for industry is more promoted liy
spending money than by giving it away. A
man who spends ten thousand a year will do
more good than a man who spends two
thousand, and gives away eight.
The spiritof doubt is the parentof toleration.
HAPPINESS.
0 happiness! tbou'rt like the orb of day—
Thy dwelling ’in the heavens: but thy ray
D<ilh often pierce the sun-created cloud
Thai gathers o’er my bead, ihy face to ahroud :
knd thus, ihou gives! me glimpses, through the gloom.
Os that bright land that ‘ies beyond the tomb;
And bid'st my heart, which to the base world clings.
Look up from earthly unto heavenly things.

From the (Ileaninas of Husbandry.
AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION IN
GEORGIA.
The principal measures of such Conven
tion would he for the formation of a State
Agricultural Society, and most probably the
establishment, under its patronage, of tut
Agricultural Publication, suited to our cli
mate and productions. A work, of that
character oils long been much wanted at the
South; for it is not every one, who is capa
ble of modifying the rules and principles of
Northern Agricultural Operations so as to
suit a different soil and different produc
tions. A work published at home and based
at the conformity of Agricultural rules best
idapted to the theatre of their operation,
would meet the wants and wishes of all its
readers.
South Carolina has anticipated us and
established a State Agricultural Society of
great - respectability for numbers, wealth,
and talent.
Their last annual discourse was by Gen.
Hammond, who showed his audience, wi
were told, the necessity of changing the
existing objects of cultivation at the South,
and of introducing some diversity, in out 1
pursuits.
The General clearly showed that Colton 1
cannot be grown in Georgia nor Carolina,
for tight cents net, on the plantation, or S(iO
to the hand, while the more productive land
bordering the Gulf, Bed river, Ac. even at
six cents a /rimnd, will yield SI 10 to the hand.
.Vo write front hearsay—not having seen
he discourse.
We will not doubt, if the matter should
_• thrown before the public by newspaper
Editors, and the importance of the measure
properly discussed, such a Convention might
he called during the approaching summer,
to assemble in Milledgeville on the Second
Manila 1 / in Nut ember next —(the principle
of representation to he the same in the
Convention as it is in the Legislature of
Georgia.)
It would he most desirable to have the
intelligent farming class—those who are
ictually engaged in Agriculture, fully repre
sented on such an occasion, unmixed with
other interests as much as jwissible, and
without the interference or presence of
mere politicians and office-seekers. We
need not say a word more upon the vast im
portance of such a scheme—it commends
itself at once to the approbation of every
thinking mind.
We earnestly appeal to the Editors of
every newspaper throughout the whole
State, and really hope they will examine the
subject and its vital importance to the plant
ing interest of our State, and they will keep
this Agricultural Convention Ball rolling
and steadily before the Georgia Planters,
that they may see ami seriously reflect upon
the teal necessity of concert and combina
tion of exertions to retrieve their circum
stances. Cotton at three or four cents a
pound—anti that too in a depreciated cur
rency perhaps, will awake them front the
cotton mania, that has too long enchained
their energies, and finally arouse them to
unite their endeavors and associate their
efforts to improve the soil as well as their
annual income in the most encouraging and
profitable manner.
From the Farmers’ Cabinet.
TREATMENT OF SICK ANIMALS.
There are so many erroneous notions
prevalent in the community, respecting in
jured or diseased domestic animals, and
such unnatural and injurious practices as a
consequence of these incorrect views, that
no apology is necessary tor an attempt to
subserve the cause and interest of these
useful creatures who,.if they had tongues to
peak, would tell sad tales of the wrongs to
which they have helm, and still ate, too of
en subjected.
Wf do not propose to give an essay on the
particular eases that require attention—our
object is rather, vet y briefly to ask the own
ers of domestic animals to he guided by a
few correct principles which are applicable
to nearly all cases, and which will at least
prevent our doing harm, where we are not
able to effect much good.
In the first place, then, we would insist,
that when an animal is well he never re
quires any medicine—and when lie is’ sick,
we would protest against his being dosed
with articles that are said to he “good” for a
particular disease, without anv reference to
its violence or the symptoms, as common
sense would dictate; that remedies the most
opporite in their ch racier and effects, may
he equally advantageous in different periods
of a case.
Always distrust the man and the remedy, j
when your friend declares that an article is
always “good” or a “ certain cvre ” for n di -
ease, without reference to its symptoms —
prescribing for the name of the disease,
rather than the disease itself—this is the I
vety essence of quackery, in man or beast.
A large proportion of the diseases of an
imals closely resemble those of the human
family, and require a treatment conducted
upon the same general principles—with
some variations and some peculiarities, it is
true, hut none of those outrageous depar
tures from common sense, which are too
frequently witnessed.
A horse with pleurisy, or inflammation of
the lungs, or a|Miplexy, requires a widely
different treatment from one with colic or
with worms. There is no more mystery
about the diseases of a horse, or an ox, than
about those of a man, and a violation of na
tural laws is as productive of pain and inju
ry in one as the other.
There is too great a propensity, every
where, to resort to active treatment in all
eases—a fepling that is encouraged by the
ignorant or designing for selfish purposes. ’
An adviser in sickness is often most useful,
and shows most skill where he only tells
what is to be avoided, and waits for indica
tiona for more active measures—doing little
more than preventing ignorant but well
meaning persons from interfering with the
salutary changes that may he going on. .
Remember, that there is a restoiative
power in nature, to which it is always let
ter to trust, than to direct active remedies
without knowing for what particular pur
pose they are given. _ ,
Thete is never occasion for the adminis
tration of the disgusting combinrtions which
the poor anitnrJ is made to swallow, front
the mere whim of an ignorant horse or
cow-doctor. Many a fine beast has been
lost by his owner trusting to such prescrip
tions.
When your animal has fever nature would
dictate that all stimulating articles of diet
or medicine should he avoided. Bleeding
may he necessary to reduce the force of the I
circulation—purging, to irtnove irritating
substances from the bowels—moist, light,
an."! ensilv-dig'O-ted food, that his weakened
digestion not be oppressed —cm! drinks
to allay thirst, and to some extent, compen
sate for diminished secretions—rest and qui
et, to prevent undue excitement in his sys
tem. and so on through the whole catalogue
of diseases—hut nothing ought to he done
without reason. Carry out this principle,
and you will probably do much good—hard
ly great harm—go on any other, and your
measures are more likely to he productive
of injury than benefit. But ns we have be
fore said, our object now is not to speak of
diseases, in detail—it is rather to encourage
our agricultural friends to think before they
net; to have a reason that will hearexamin
timi for every step in the management of a
sick or injured animal; to remember they
have a powerful assistant in nature (if she
is fairly used,) and that specifics, as they ate
called, are much fewer and less to he trust
ed than their proprietors would have us be
lieve. We might, indeed, almost sum up
what we would desire in one general direc
tion of five words:— treat your brutes tike
men. T.
From the Southern Planter.
SILK.
We have expressed the opinion, that the
silk culture would, eventually, become a
good business. Wo think there is a great
deal of labor in the South, both black and
white, peculiarly adapted to ibis pursuit.
Cotton itself, “the great staple,” a few years
ago, presented a less favorable prospect than
silk now does.
The following, amongst other reasons,
are given by a writer in the Albany Culti
vator, why the people of the United States
should, at once, engage in the business of
silk growing:
1. Because silk forms the heaviest item in
the catalogue of our importations,
j 2. Because we possess the means of tlo-
I ing it to better advantage than any other na
: tion.
3. Because the necessary Hull is easily
acquired, and no nation ever possessed bet
ter talents to acquire it.
4. Because the nation is under heavy
embarrassments on account of excessive
importations, and no other means are so
sure of success in providing the necessary ,
relief. * 3 * |
5. Because it can be effectually engaged
by all classes of people, requiring little or
no capital.
6. Because we have more spare land than
any oilier nation, and much well suited to
the growth of the mulberry, which is worn j
out for other purposes.
7. Because we are already well stock
ed with the mulberry trees, which will lie
lost to the nation if not used for that pur-.
pose.
8. Because a stock of silk worms may he
obtained the first year, equal to what could
be reared of any other live stock in a great
portion of a lifetime.
9. Because raw silk or cocoons are al
ways surer of a market than almost any i
other cemmoditv.
10. Because it is a very certain crop.
11. Because a pound of silk, worth six
dollars, can be grown in less time than a
pound of wool, worth fifty cents.
12. Because it will cost no more to trans
port a pound of silk to market, worth six
aollnis, than a pound of bread stuff or pork
worth six or eight cents.
13. Because the labor sf growing a crop
of silk requires only six or seven weeks,
while that of almost any farming crop re
quires more than as many months.
14. Because most of the labor will he
performed hv women, children or invalids—
who, though willing, are unable to perform !
other profitable labor. I
15. Because there are hundreds if not
thousands of skilful silk manufacturers in
the country, who are unable to find regular
employment for want of raw silk.
IG. Because the growing and manufac
ture of silk has never failed to he a source
of wealth to any nation which embarked
in it.
TO STOP the EFFUSION of BLOOD.
I Messrs. Editors— ln answer to an in
j qiiiry in the Inst number of the Cultivator,
| respecting n remedy for stopping blood, I
| will ielate two instances of the application
I of cobwebs, with instantaneous and com
j plfcte success. The first was a cut just be
| low the fetlock joint of a young horse, from
which a stream of blood of the size of a
knitting needle spirted very swiftly. A
small wad of cobweb from the cellar was
bound on, which entirely stopped the hlood
in nil instant. At another time on bleeding
a hoise in the mouth, the incision was made
deeper Than was intended,letting more hlood
than was designed. After other remedies
in vain, the above application was made
with the same effect as in the first case.—
Cultivator. H. MILTON HART.
Cornwall, Ct. Feb. 23, 1542.
There is one great principle which with
the former should have due weight allowed
it, and that is, looking for happiness at home;
and perhaps there is no one thing, out of the
house, more conducive to this, than a well
arranged and well cultivated garden. The
farmer should remember that every tree,
■shrub, and flower he cultivates, constitutes
anew link of attachment to hind him to his
home, and render that home more delight
ful.— Alb. Cultivator. *
• From the Cultivator.
A FARMER’S BREAKFAST.
Messrs. Editors—ls you will permit
me, I wish to give you a description of a
farmer’s breakfast. It will not perhaps he
as inviting as those served up on city tables,
but more substantial, and doubtless as health
ful.
The first thing is the bread; for now, as
in the days of Martinus Scriblerious, “bread
gentlemen, bread is the stall’ of lifeand
during the winter months, our bread for the
breakfast is mostly hot buckwheat cakes
Some complain that such cakes are unpala
table, and liable to become sour. It is true
some do not like the taste of such cakes ni
first, but 1 have seen no one who did not
soon become fond of them; and thete ism
i:>oro necessity of sour buckwheat cakes
than of sour wheat bread. 1 wot up nn
cakes in i!,C usual manner, (a quart of Horn
fur 7 or 8 persons, with lukewatm vvalet
sufficient to make the baiiCJ” of ll*® right
thickness, with about a teacup of good sweet
yeaM —ihe yeast only necessary when Milt
commence using cakes, or if the hatter be
comes sour and needs renewal,) set the
stout 1 inr >■> “lie”! 1 I keep the hatter where
it shall he ,-nden.tely warm “"til it begins
to rise, when 1 remove n Ul a nlaee .. 1
the temperature is low, and the feimem’C
tion is checked before the mass is sour in
the least. This batter is baked in small
cakes and placet) on the table, hi t: rare be
ing taken to leave < lit I ph iti il e pot to fei
mt-ut the next welting up, which should he
done as soon as breakfast is over. A loaf
of wheat bread is pitted * n tie table t<
suit the taste of such as may prefer it to th<
cakes.
The preparations for the bread comple
ted, the next thing is the meat. For this, 1
prefer beef of good quality—not the coarse,
tallow loaded meat that is sometimes seen,
but the fine grain* *1 flesh, well mottled with
fat, tender and delicious. This should he
kept fiozeii; and when wanted, a sufficient
quantity chipped or sliced off, the thintiei
the heMer, and placed in the fryer on tin
stove; cover it, and do not hurry it in the
cooking, or hum it. For a gravy, which is
essential with cakes, I take a spoonful or
two of flour, a sufficient quantity of buttei
and pepper, and work them well togetliei
in a dish. When the meat is properly cook
ed, l turn from the tea kettle hot water into
the dish, stirring it constantly till the whole
is incorporated and a rich gravy produced.
; This is turned on the meat, the whole boil
ed up and stirred, when it is placed in the
dish ready for the table.
But a farmer could not niake-a breakfast
without potatoes. One of the first things to
be done, therefore, in getting a breakfast
ready, is to select ten or a dozen potatoes,
(they should be kept ready washed, but se
cured from light in a cool cupboard or cellar,
as light is injurious to tl;e quality of all
roots,) pinkeys or Mercers my husband
thinks are the best, and place them in the
stove or oven, turning them occasionally to
’ see they do not burn, and they will l>e done
by the lime the other parts of the breakfast
are ready.
These are the substantials of a-farmer’s
breakfast. But other things are necessary
to give zest and iclish to the meal. A bowl
of apple sauce made with about one-third
quince to two-thirds apples, the cider made
from sweet apples, and reduced by boiling
about three parts to one, may he considered
indispensable; pickles, too, green, bawl, and
thoroughly penetrated with cayenne, of gar
den red peppers, will not he amiss. Coffee
or tea, as the taste may determine, not too
strong, as either may be injurious, with
sweet cream and sugar, will furnish the
drink for the farmer's morning meal. Mince
and apple pies, with cakes and cLesse, are
ready for such as wish them.
The table is ready. The meat and pota
toes, of right, occupy the center, flanked by
the smoking cakes and coffee. Around are
the sauces, the pies, cakes, &c. Industry
and sweet sleep have given an appetite; and
with the invoked blessing of heaven, the
farmer’s breakfast, plain and simple as it is,
is not unfrequeiitly better enjoyed than the
late and sumptuous repasts of the rich and
opulent.
.Should you give a place to this, I may
hereafter give van a picture of a farmer’s
dinner. * A FARMER’S WIFE.
