THE IFAMLY ©Q[^©Lla
“ Within thy realm no discord’s jarring sound
Is heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found 1”
Truth. —Adhere rigidly and undeviating
ly to truth; but while you express what is
true, express it in a pleasing manner. Truth
is the picture, the manner is the frame that
displays it to advantage. m
If a man blends his angry passions with
his search after truth, become his superior
by suppieasing yours, and attend only to the
justness and force of his reasoning.
Truth, conveyed in austere and acrimo
nious language, seldom has a salutary effect,
since we reject the truth, because we are
prejudiced against the mode of communica
tion. The heart must be won before the
intellect can be informed.
A man may betray the cause of truth by
his unseasonable zeal, as he destroys its
salutary effects by the acrimony of his man
ner. Whoever* would be a successful in
structor must first become a mild and affec
tionate friend.
He who gives way to angry invective,
furnishes a strong presumption that his cause
is bad, since truth is best supported by dis
passionate arguments. The love of truth,
refusing to associate itself with the selfish
and dissocial passions, is gentle, dignified,
and persuasive.
The understanding may not be long able
to withstand demonstrative evidence, but the
heart which is guarded by prejudice and
passion, is generally proof against argumen
tative reasoning; for no person will perceive
truth when he is unwilling to find it.
Many of our speculative opinions, even
those which are the result of laborious re
search, and the least liable to disputation,
resemble rarities in the cabinet of the cu
rious, which may be interesting to the pos
sessor, and to a few congenial minds, but
which are of no use to the world.
Many of our speculative opinions cease
to engage attention, not because we are
agreed about their truth or fallacy, but be
cause we are tired of the controversy. —
They sink into neglect, and in a future age
their futility or absurdity is acknowledged,
when they no longer retain a hold on the
prejudices and passions of mankind.
A Soldier's Funeral. —lt is the absence of
hired sorrow, and the room that is left to the
imagination of the spectator, by the dress
and sword of the soldier upon his coffin, to
personify the dead—to see. him, at a glance,
the living and the dead—that makes a sol
dier’s funeral exceedingly affecting. And
here all that attend have been his compan
ions; nor is there any pantomime trickery
of dress and gesture. These are the very
arms he wore, he handled—the boots, their
hability, the fitness to the individual, all that
which made them his, and him theirs, is not
yet departed. We see the man more aw
fully than if we actually saw him lying in
his coffin. The value of the individual man
is stamped by the official military attendance,
and serve as an epitaph of merit. The
costliest funeral of the highest son of earth
has nothing so affecting.
Christian Religion. —The following is the
closing paragraph of the will of Patrick
Henry: “I have now disposed of all my
property to my family; there is one thing
more I wish I could give them, and that is
the Christian religion. If they had this, and
I had not given them one shilling, they would
be rich; and if they had not that, and I had
given them all the world, they would be
poor.” This opinion of that celebrated man,
may perhaps be called his beath-bed opinion
and is on that account alone of great value.
It seems to us that Patrick Henry made a
successful effort to paraphrase, perhaps we
should say, to answer the question pro
pounded by the author of our holy religion,
“ What shall it profit a man, if he gain the
whole world and lose his own soull”
An overhearing temper. —Nothing shows
a greater abjectness of spirit than an over
bearing temper appearing in a person’s be
havior to inferiors. To insult or abuse those
who dare not answer again,is as sure a mark
of cowardice as it would be to attack with
a drawn sword a woman or a child. And
wherever you see a person given to insult
his inferiors, you may assure yourself he
will creep to his superiors; for the same
baseness of mind will lead him to act the
part of a bully to those who cannot resist,
and of a coward to those who can. But
though servants and other dependants may
not have it in their power to retort in the
same taste, the injurious usage they receive
from their superiors, they are sure to he
even with them by the contempt they them
selves have for them, and the character they
spread abroad of them through the world.
Upon the whole, the proper behavior to in
feriors is, to treat them with generosity and
humanity; but by no means with familiarity
on one hand, or insolence on the other.
Economy. —Economy is one of the chief
duties of a state, as well as of an individual.
It is not only a great virtue in itself, but it
is the parent of many others. It preserves
men and nations from the commission of
crime, and the endurance of misery. The
man that lives within his income can he just,
humane, charitable and independent. He
who lives beyond it becomes, almost neces
sarily, rapacious, mean, faithless, contempti
ble. The economist is easy and comforta
ble; the prodigal, harassed with debts, and
uuable to obtain tho necessary means of life.
So it is with nations. National character,
as well as national happiness, has, from the
beginning of the world to the present day,
been sacrificed on the altar of profusion.
Advantages of conversation.—Conversa
tion calls out into light what has been lodged
in all the recesses and secret chambers of
the soul. By occasional hints and incidents,
it brings old useful notions into remem
brance; it unfolds and displays the hidden
treasure of knowledge with which reading,
observation, and study, have before furnish
ed the mind. By mutual discourse the soul
is awakened and allured to bring forth its
hoards of knowledge, and it learns how to
render them most useful to mankind. A
man of vast reading, without conversation,
is like a miser, who lives only for himself.
Early rising. —The difference between
rising every morning at six and at eight, in
the course of forty years amounts to twenty
nine thousand two hundred hours, or three
years one hundred and twenty-one days and
sixteen hours, which are equal to eight hours
a day for exactly ten years. So that rising
at six will be the same as if ten years of life
(a weighty consideration) were added,
wherein we may command eight hours every
day for the cultivation of our minds and the
dispatch of business.
Home. —There is something inexpressibly
touching in the story of Ishmael; the youth
was sent into the wilderness of life with his
bow and his arrow, “his hand against every
man, and every man’s band against him.”
Even in ourcrowded, busy,andsocial world,
on how many is this doom pronounced 1
What love makes allowances like household
love ? God forgive those who turn the house
hold altar into a place of strife! Domestic
dissension is the sacrilege of the heart.
Religion and Morals. —ls we arc told a
man is religious, we still ask, what are his
morals? But if we hear at first- that he has
honest morals, and is a man of natural jus
tice and good temper, we seldom think of
the other question, whether he be religious
and devout?
Affliction the snowdrop comes amid
snow and sleet, appearing as the herald of
the rose, so religion comes amid the blight
of affliction, to remind us of a perpetual
summei, where the bright sun never retires
behind a wintry cloud.
When I see leaves drop from the trees in
the beginning of autumn, says Warwick,
just such, think I, is the friendship of the
world. While the sap of maintenance lasts,
my friends swarm in abundance; but in the
winter of my need they leave me naked.
He is a happy man who hath a true friend
at his need; but he is more truly happy that
hath no need of his friend.
Pleasure is a rose, near which there ever
grows the thorn of evil. It is wisdom’s
work so carefully to cull the rose as to avoid
the thorn, and let its rich perfume exhale to
heaven, in grateful adoration of Him who
gave the rose to blow.

Themistoclcs, he preferred the worthy man
to the rich one, and assigned this reason:
“ I had rather she should have a man without
money, than money without a man.”

Moss baskets. —The body of the basket is
made of pasteboard, round or oval, with or
without a handle, as you fancy. It should
be neatly lined; and some cover the ouside
with pale green paper, that any little inter
stices among the moss may look neatly. The
handle should be sewed on the outside, that
it may be covered by the moss. A great
variety of dry mosses, of different colors,
may be put together so as to produce a
beautiful effect. Some people prefer to
sew them on, because they are so apt to fall
off. To be fastened on with thick gum wa
ter, glue, or paste. Avery pretty imitation
of moss baskets may be made of unravelled
worsted, of dissent colors, sewed on thickly,
in bunches. Where it is knit on purpose,
it must be washed and dried by a gentle
heat, in order to keep it cured. Each bunch
should be made of three or four shades and
colors, and this should be mingled in, so as
to avoid any striped, or spotted, appear
ance. The varieties of green, brown, and
light blue, are the appropriate colors: a lit
tle black and white may be introduced with
good effect. I have seen baskets of this
kind filled with the ends of the unravelled
worsted, on which reposed a few chalk eggs,
colored to look like bird’s eggs. I thought
them extremely pretty: hut I should not
have thought so, had they beon real eggs
stolen from a poor suffering bird.
Pen-wipers. —These are a very necessary
accompaniment to a neat writing-desk. The
most common ones consist of two circular
pieces of black velvet, neatly bound, and
caught together in the middle with .two or
three circular pieces of black broadcloth be
tween them, for the purpose of wiping the
Eens. Some, instead of velvet covers, have
its of black broadcloth, covered with little
hright-eolored round pieces, about as big as
a wafer, laid one over another like the scales
of a fish. The butterfly is likewise a com
mon form. The wings are of embroidered
velvet, and the leaves between are of black
The most convenient pen-wipers is made
of three pointed pieces of broadcloth, about
half of a quarter of a yard long. Each
piece is about an eighth of a yard, or two
nails, wide at the bottom, and goes off to a
point at the top. Each one is stitched up
separately, and turned wrong side outward,
when it looks not unlike a tunnel. After
they are made, the three are all joined to
gether at the seams, and a tasteful little bow
is placed on the ton. The bottom can be
bound, or embroidered with gay colors, ac
cording to fancy. This form is peculiarly
convenient; because the pen can be run into
these little tunnels, and wiped, without any
danger of inking the fingers. Pen-wipers*
should always be made of black flannel, or
broadcloth: other colors soon get spoiled by
the ink.
Tb produce various flowers from one stem.
—Scoop the pith from a small twig of elder;
split it lengthways, and fill each of the parts
with seeds that produce different colored
flowers. Surround the seed with earth; tie
the two bits of wood together; and plant the
whole in a pot filled with earth. The stems
of the different plants will thus be so incor
porated, as to exhibit to the eye only one
stem, throwing out branches with the differ
ent flowers you have planted. By choosing
the seeds of plants which germinate at the
same period, and which are nearly similar
in the texture of their stems, an intelligent
person may obtain artificial plants extreme
ly curious.

“ A bold peasantry, their country* pride
When once destroy'd can never be supplied.”
■■■■■ i-
From the Gleanings of Husbandry.
Mr. Gleaner —Of the Literature, History,
present condition, and prospects of agricul
ture in our part of the Unwn, we unfortu
nately cannot boast. We ire styled South
ern planters—but scientific agriculturists
hitherto are a very scarce article in this vi
cinity; but the cultivated minds and better
crops of this latter class, however small
their number may now be, will gradually
extend, until their goad leaven enleaveneth
the whole mass of cultivators, and the sci
ence of husbandry improve eventually as if
quickened by touch of khu
riel’s spear.
We have never met an observer from Old
or New England who has not remarked up
on our unskilful culture of the soil. Now,
an exciteftent among the mass of intellec
tual farmers would, like electricity, imme
diately infuse into the very clods of the val
ley, useful knowledge, that would quickly
produce anew era in our husbandly and
convince the laboring classes that reading
agricultural works is a more profitable em
ployment than for poor readers to engage in
spelling out the coarse condemning slang of
our political newspapers of the present day
—from the latter source, tlieir minds become
narrowed and embittered with party spirit,
while from the former, the mind is enlarged
with kind feelings towards God and our
neighbor, and the culture of the soil im
proved so as to quickly bring forth that relief
for which we have heard so much loud cla
moring of late—hence must spring the only
real and certain relief, that can be constitu
tionally anticipated in this time of unex
ampled pressure.
South Carolina has already made good
progress in her new arrangements, and these
or similar ones must sooner or later invaria
bly come to our husbandry and to help us
out of our pressing difficulties. South Caro
lina has already got th e popular ear listening
to her most talented practical farmers and
their recommendations will be followed.
Gen. M’Duffie, in his Annual Address,
read before the South Carolina Agricultural
Society, 1840, says:
“ The greatest, most prevailing and most
pernicious of all the practices, that so clear
ly distinguish and deform the agriculture of
this and the other cotton growing States, is
the almost exclusive direction of the whole
available labor of the plantation to the pro
duction of our great market staple, and the
consequent neglect of all the other com
modities which the soil is capable of produc
ing or sustaining, and which are essential to
supply the wants of the establishment. No
scheme of reform or improvement can pro
duce any great or salutary results, winch
does not lay the axe to this radical vice in
our husbandry.”
The General urgently recommends to
planters to raise their own stock—earnestly
impresses the necessity of a permanent sys
tem of improvement, and adds, “The es
tablished habits and the mistaken ambition
of planters make the point of honorable
distinction consist in tbe number of cotton
bales, and above all, the unfortunate habit
so generally prevalent among planters, of
neglecting their own business, and confiding
it to the exclusive management of over
seers.”
Again* he asks, “What sort of an estimate
must be placed upon wealth, and to what
rational end does he desire it, who, with an
income of ten or twenty thousand dollars a
year, brings up a family of children imper
fectly educated, in a log cabin, with scarcely
the ordinary comforts of such a dwelling?
“A stranger travelling through our coun
try, could not be persuaded that it was in
habited by a race of wealthy, hospitable and
enlightened planteis, so few of the monu
ments and improvements, that indicate a
wealthy and a prosperous community, would
meet his eyes. And, if by one of those
great political revolutions, such as over
whelmed the ancient Greeks aiid Romans,
our race should be merged in a race of con
querors, and our name only descend to pos
terity, what classic memorial, whut substan
tial monument, would bear testimony, that
this ‘delightful region of the sun’ had been
once inhabited by a civilized and enlighten
ed people, eminently distinguished tor their
industry, their wealth, and the freedom of
their institutions?”
These extracts, my dear Doctor, I have
made as a kind preface to more clearly show
the absolute necessity of a State Convention
of planters in Georgia, to assemble at Mil
ledgeville, on the second Monday of Novem
ber next, [l4th.] The proposition meets a
coidial approval from every one I have con
versed with, and we approve your restric
*” a* /lologatos only the intelligent
farming class—those who are actually en
gaged in Agricultural pursuits. We saw
enough in the formation of tho United States
Agricultural Society to satisfy us that politi
cal interests will never yield to tillage.
Success, Doctor, to your unwearied exer
tions in the good cause of husbandry; I
wish some of our political papers on both
sides possessed independence sufficient to
unite in rousinj the planters to select their
delegates to Convention at Milledge

To cure Sheep shins with the wool on. —
Take a spoonful o! alum and two of salt
petre ; pulverise and feix. well together, then
sprinkle the powder o\the flesh side of the
skin, and lay the two flWh sides together—
leaving the wool outside. VTlitn fold up the
whole skin as tight as you \;an aid hang in a
dry place: in two or three days as soon as
dry take down, and scrape wittr a blunt knife
till clean and supple. This completes the
process, and makes you a cost excellent

get more for them from thoiaddlers than
you can for the wool and sin separately

A long cane.—A traveller, among narra
tions of tbe wonders of foreign parts, de
clared he knew a cane, in South America,
which was a mile long. The company look
ed incredulous, and it was quite evident
they were not prepared to swallow it, even
if it should have been a sugar cane.
“ Pray, what cane was it?” asked one gen
tleman, sneeringly.
“ It was a hurri-cane,” replied the travel
ler.
Hard writing. —An Irisman wrote as fol
lows to his friend, during the rebellion
of ’9B:
“To give you some idea of the state of
the country at present, I shall only say that
at this moment I am writing with a sword in
one hand and a pistol in the other.”
Phrenology. —A craniologist once dined
in company with a gentleman who was too
much addicted to sacrifice to the jolly god.
The philosopher, who never lost an oppor
tunity to prosecute his favorite science, stu
died the toper’s head with great attention.
The gentleman left the room, when the
craniologist took occasion to observe to the
wife of the bachanalian—“Ah, madam,
what a fine msician your husband is. I
never saw the organ of music so fully devel
oped.” “Indeed, sir,” said the lady, “I
don’t know what organ he may have, but
if he have any, I’m sure it’s a barrel
organ.”
Irish transfer of a lover. —A gentleman
being on a tour through Ireland, with his
family, passed a few days at Castle Blaney,
where they were delighted with its beauties
and the prosperity of the inhabitants in the
town and neighborhood. They were not a
little amused with the stories of their host,
who, conceiving that the gentleman would
be more acceptable on his arrival in Lon
don, by the importation of something in
character, informed him of a wedding that
was to have taken place a few days previous.
The damsel was courted by two lovers, and
the favored one agreed to resign his claim
to the lady, provided the other would pay
his bill of costs, which was agreed to, in
consideration of its being sworn to before a
magistrate. The is a copy of this
tiuly singular and novel bill:—“First ac
quaintance, eighteen shillings and sixpence;
making the match, ten shillings; license, six
shillings and sixpence; certificate, two shil
lings and sixpence; naming the day for the
wedding, on which occasion five gallons of
whiskey were drank, one pound fifteen shil
lings; hire of six horses for visits, fifteen
shillius; drinking success to the wedding,
ten shillings. Total, four pounds seventeen
shillings and sixpence.”
Short and sweet. —“I can’t speak in pub
lic ; never done such a thing in all my life,”
said a chap the other night at a public meet
ing, who had been called upon to hold forth,
“ but, if any body in jhe crowd will speak
for me, I’ll hold his hat!”
The fashion of the times. —“ When I
came to this country,” said an emigrant, “ I
brought several hundred dollars in gold—
and they then called me Mr. Smith; but
when it was all gone, I was only called plain
Uncle Bill.”
Origin of slander. —Mother Jasper told
me, that she heard Greatvvood’s wife say,
that John Hardstone’s aunt mentioned to
her, that Mrs. Trusty was present when the
widow Farkman said, Captain Hartwell’s
cousin thought Ensign Doolittle’s sister be
lieved, that old Miss Oxly reckoned, that
Sam Trifle’s better half had told Mrs.
Spaulding, that she heard John Brimmer’s
woman say, that her mother told her that she
heard her grandfather say—that Mrs. Gar
den bad two husbands!
Hard times. —A passenger down stream
informs us, ’pon honor, that at Cincinnati
and Louisville the times are so hard, that a
man will prop himself against a wall to hunt
round his pockets for a quarter of an hour
for a “fourpence”—and not find it, at last.
“The times,” says he, “is really screw-tia

4.n English lady who went to make pur
chases at a shop in Jamaica, accompanied

by the negro-shopman as “ massa,” where

“Why for you speak sosh bad English?
Why for you call my missus ‘massa?’ Stu
pid fellow!—him’s a she.”
“Pray can you tell me the way to the
penitentiary ?” asked a stranger. “Yes sir
—pick the first man’s pocket that you meet.”
A hiss in the Dark. —The Cleveland Her
ald, tells the following story, which we copy
for the benefit of affectionate young gentle
men. It is a regular Virginia breakdown :
A young lady and gentleman were one
evening playing the “Graces,” and, as those
acquainted with this “sport” know that
when the gentleman throws the hoop or ring
over the head of the lady, he has a right to a
kiss. After playing some time, the gentle
man threw the ring over the head of the
lady, and he started for the kiss. She ran
and put out the light, went out of the room
into the kitchen, and told tHe colored girl to
go into the parlor and light the lamp, and
the door very quietly and make as
little noise as possible. The girl did as she
was ordered. Mr. was waiting on tip
toe at the door for a “good one;” as soon as
the servant girl'entered the room, he caught
her and kissed her, and in a moment heard
Miss clapping her hands and laughing
most hemjtily, because Mr. hissed the
cook. *
Gentlemen should be careful about kisa
mg the girls iu the dark.
A doctor observed of the cow who was
killed on the rail road the other day, that she
would have escaped, had she been able to
blow one of her horns. We suspect the doc

joke.

Georgia, ) To the Superior Court
Morgan county, s os said County :
THE petition of Ephraim Trotter sheweth that here
tofore, to wit: on the eighth day of February, in the
year eighteen hundred and forty-one, Edmund Wheat
of said county, made and delivered to your petitioner
his certain mortgage deed, in writing, of that date, and

was security for the said Edmund on two promissory
notes —one for three hundred and fifteen dollars, due
December twentv-fifth, eighteen hundred and forty,
payable to H. Wade, or bearer, and dated November
twenty-seventh, eighteen hundred and thirty-nine,and
one other note for the same amount, due on or before
the twenty-fifth of December, eighteen hundred and
forty-one, and bearing date with said* last mentioned
note, and payable as above —as well as for and in con
sideration of the sum of five dollars in hand paid by
your petitioner to the said Edmund, the receipt where
of in said deed is acknowledged, did grant, bargain,
sell and convey unto the said Ephraim, his heirs and
assigns, the following property, to wit: one certain tract
of land containing three hundred acres, more or less,
adjoining land ofDr. H. Wade, Matthew Cockran,and
others, also the crop now growing, or to be grown up
on the same, to have and to hold said bargained pre
mises, or property, to the said Ephraim, his heirs and
assigns, to his and their own proper use, benefit and
behoof; and the said Edmund, for himself, his execu
tors and administrators, the said bargained property or
premises unto the said Ephraim did warrant and forev
er defend against the claim of himself, his heirs, and
against the claim of all other persons whatever: pro
vided nevertheless, that it the said Edmund, his heirs,
executors and administrators shall and do truly pay, or
cause to be paid unto the aforesaid Wade, or bearer,
the aforementioned sum of six hundred and thirty dol

lawful interest upon the same, according to the tenor
of said notes, then and from thenceforth, as well as the
present indenture and the right to the property thereby
conveyed, as the said promissory notes shall cease, de
termine and be void to all intents and purposes. And
it being further shows to the Court that the said Ed
mund Wheat lias not complied with the condition of
said deed of mortgage, and that your petitioner has been
compelled to pav on said notes said sum of money, with
lawful interest thereon. It is
Ordered by the Court, that the said Edmund Wheat
show cause, on or before the first day of the next term
of said Court, why the equity of redemption in and to
the said mortgaged premises, or property, should not be
forever barred and foreclosed. And, it is further
