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. Two citizens courting the daughter of 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.” ©fEfPMTMEMYT 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<d unpin aib st nas ©is il astit THE IF hR M EB. “ 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 ville. Youta, &c. Z. Wilkes, Ga. \ 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 saddle cover. If when you ill your mut ton you treat the skins in thisway, you can get more for them from thoiaddlers than you can for the wool and sin separately disposed of otherwise. N.

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 ting 4.n English lady who went to make pur chases at a shop in Jamaica, accompanied by her black maid, was repeatedly addressed by the negro-shopman as “ massa,” where upon her sable follower exclaimed with a look of infinite contempt: “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 tor’s horns had something to do with this joke. The spring number of the American Ju rist contains a sketch of the life of .Lord Chancellor Thurlow, remarkable for the vastness of his legakactjuisitions, for his de baucheries, his rudeness, and his profanity. It is related of him, that just before he ex pired, he turned to one of his attendants, and exclaimed—“l’ll bed and if ain’t dy ing!” “ Bob, I understand you are on a cruise after Dick to cowhide him.” “Yes—l am off on a whaling expedition.” 53r Answer to Enigma of last week : Subscribe for the “ Southern Miscellany,” and pay for it in ad vance.
