TIH3IE IFAMQLY ] 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. THE IF AIS M E B 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.
