M Within thy realm bo discord’* jarring sound
Is heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found!”
TltE SOUL’S DWELLING.
Where doth the soul reside 7
Not in tfte beamy eye.
Where passion often feigned.
Gives truth the covert lie.
Does the sweet flattering tongue,
A residence impart T
The soul and truth are one 1
The tongue is full of art!
Where doth the soul reside ?
Not in the fickle ear—
Now wisdom’s voice retaining,
Now echoing folly’s sneer.
Not in that labyrinth of art,
The plotting subtle brain—
But in the feeling, faithful heart,
Where love and honor reign.
Husband and Wife. —In the domestic
empire, and in all the great arrangements of
life, the husband has a controlling influence.
It is his right to rule; and where reason and
persuasion fail to unite her choice with his,
submission is the duty of the wife. She
ought to do it cheerfully, and always make
his cause her own. Nothing can be more
embarassing to the enterprise, or injurious
to the success of the husband, than constant
opposition from her, whose office it is to en
courage and help. No one can be keeper
of another’s conscience. On religious opin
ions and duty, therefore, the husband has no
authority without a presumptuous usurpa
tion of the divine right. God alone is Lord
of the conscience, aud to him we are separ
ately amenable. Christ is the head of the
church; and that man, who will step be
tween his wife and the Lord of all, com
mits a daring and flagrant act'of rebellion
against heaven’s law and heaven’s king. As
he cannot answer to God for her sins, as no
one but herself can in any sense do this, her
religious convictions, feelings, and opinions,
form a matter exclusively between herself
and God. No foreign interference, no hu
man control can, without the greatest danger
and the highest presumption, be attempted
—none can be admitted.
Education. —To educate a man is to un
fold his faculties, to give him the free and
full use of his powers, and especially his
best powers. It is first to train the intellect,
to give him a love of truth, and to instruct
him in the process by which it may be ac
quired. It is to train him to soundness of
judgment, to teach him to weigh evidence,
and to guard against the common sources of
error. It is to give him a thirst for knowl
edge, which will keep his faculties in action
through life. It is to aid him in the study
of the outward world, to initiate him into
the physical sciences, so that he will under
stand the principles of his trade or business,
and will be able to comprehend the phe
nomena which are continually passing be
fore his eyes. It is to make him acquainted
with his own nature, to give him that most
important means of improvement, self-com
prehension.
Faith. —lt is in sorrow or sickness that
we learn why faith was given as a soother
to man: faith, which is hope, with a holier
name; hope that know neither deceit nor
death. Ah! how wisely do you speak of
the philosophy of belief! It is, indeed, the
telescope which leads our vision to the stars.
And my beloved, comprehended
and known at last, to you I leave, when I
am gone, that monitor, that friend; you will
know yourself what you teach to me. And
when you look not on the heaven alone, but
in all space, on all the illimitable creation,
you will know that I am there! For the
home of a spirit is wherever spreads the
universal presence of God. And to what
numerous stages of being, what paths, what
duties, what active and glorious tasks in oth
er worlds, may we not De reserved ; per
haps to know and share them together, and
mount, age after age, higher in the scale of
being. For surely, in heaven there is no
pause or torpor; we do not lie down in
calm and unimprovable repose.— Bulwer.
Pious Women. —They are the women
who bless, dignify and truly adorn society.
The painter, indeed, does not make his for
tune by their sitting to him; the jeweller is
neither brought into vogue by furnishing
them diamonds, nor undone for not being
paid for them; the prosperity of the millin
er does not depend on affixing their name to
a cap, or collar; the poet does not celebrate
them; the novelist does not dictate them—
but they possess the affection of their hus
bands, the attachment of their children, the
esteem of the wise and good; and, above
all, they possess His favor, whom to know
is life eternal.
Source of perplexity. —That which makes
our view of the present state of the world a
source of perplexity and horror, is the con
sideration that every human heart beats in
itself a type, more or less distinct, of those
powers and that happiness which have been
the portion of the most exalted minds.—
There is, perhaps, no spot on earth, how
ever dreary, in which the germs of many
plants, and the larvae of shining and light
winged insects are not hidden, though for
thousands of ycais undeveloped, and still
expecting the warm breeze that shall call
them out into life and beauty.
Prompt answer. —Chateauneuf, keeper of
tho seals of Louis the Thirteenth, when a
hoy of only nine years old, was asked many
questions by a bishop, and gave very prompt
answers to them all. At length the prelate
said, “I will give you an orange if you will
tell me where God is 1” “My lord,’’ re
plied the boy, “ I will give you two oranges
if you will tell me where he is not!”
The game of life. —“ Life,” said one who
had much of it, “is like a game of back
gammon ; the most skilful make the best
tse of it. The dice do not depend upon us
in the one case, nor do events depend upon
us in the other ; but it is the manner of ap
plying them that occasions the difference of
success.”
THE FARMER.
“ A bold peasantry, their country’s pride
When once destroy’d can never be supplied.”
AGRICULTURAL ANALYSIS.
To determine the value of any soil, or to
be able to correct any fault in the original
constitution, or any deficiency arising from
improper cultivation, it is necessary that the
nature and proportion of the substances
composing it should be understood. In
agriculture this examination is termed Ana
lysis, and in a simple, yet still effectual
method may be practiced by every farmer.
The implements used are a pair of scales,
accurate to the tenth part of a grain; a cru
cible ; some muriatic acid, a few small ves
sels of glass or china.
The earth to be tested by the farmer,
should be taken from a few inches below the
surface, and be an average specimen of the
field, or soil to be examined. The quantity
to be examined, say two or four hundred
grains, is to be slightly pulverized and well
mixed together. Os this, put two hundred
grains in the crucible, and heat it to 300
degrees Fahrenheit, or bake it in an oven,
heated for bread for fifteen minutes : cool
and weigh. The loss in weight will show
the absorbent power of the soil, and as this
depends mainly on the animal and vegetable
matter, if the loss is considerable, it is deci
sive proof in this respect of fertility. The
absorbent power varies from 1 to 12 per
cent.
After weighing, heat it again in the cruci
ble to red heat, and till the mass shows no
more bright or sparkling particles, stirring
it with a glass or iron rod : cool and weigh,
and the loss will be the animal and vegeta
ble matter in the soil.
Take 200 grains of the dried earth, mix
it thoroughly with a gill of water, by stirring
it for several minutes. Let it stand for three
minutes, and decant the muddy water into
another glass. Dry the sediment in the
first glass at a high heat, weigh it, and it
gives the silica contained in the soil.
Let the water turned off in the second
glass settle clear, decant, dry the sediment
at a high heat and weigh : this gives the
alumina or clay.
Put into a suitable glass or oil flask half a
wine glass of muriatic acid and water in
equal proportions, and balance it carefully
in the scales. Put into this mixture 100
grains of the earth, let it stand till all the
effervescence has ceased, which will some
times be an hour, or more; carefully note
the weight requited to again balance the
scales, and that may be set down as the
weight of carbonic acid gas expelled, say
it is six grains.
Then, as 45 : 55:: this weight to that of
the base, or the Lime. In thiscasethe Lime
would be seven and one-third per cent.
To ascertain if the earth contains iron,
stir the muriatic acid, and water with a strip
of oak bai k, and if iron is present in the
liquid the bark will give it an inky color.
To ascertain the quantity, put in prussiate
of potash until it no longer forms a blue
precipitate, let it settle ; beat the deposit to
redness, carefully weigh the remainder,
which is oxyde of iron.
To determine the presence of gypsum,
[Sulphate of Lime,] take 100 grains of
earth, mix one-third the quantity of powder
ed charcoal keep it at a red heat in a cruci
ble for half an hour.
Then boil the earth in a pint of water for
thirty minutes, filter the liquor and expose
it for some days in an open vessel. A white
deposit will be Sulphate of Lime, and the
weight will determine the proportion.
These processes are all simple and can
be performed by any one. And by them
we are enabled to obtain,
1. the ab-orbent powers,
2. the amount of animal and vegetable
matter,
3. the silica or sand,
4. the alumina or clay,
5. the carbonate of Lime,
6. the oxydes of iron,
7. the gypsum or plaster of Paris.
The salts exercise great influence on veg
etation ; but as they principally depend on
the animal and vegetable matter in the soil,
and as determining their different qualities
and kinds, is too difficult for a farmer’s Ana
lysis ; we, therefore, omit the processes here
—the above ingredients are all that exert a
marked influence on the fertility of soils,
and upon their proper'proportions, depends
their goodness.
lfsoils contain too much silica or gravel,
they are porous; and if too much alumina
or clay, they are retentive. The last is usu
ally the worst fault, and may be known by
the water standing upon it after tains, re
maining unsettled for a long time, owing to
the clay held in solution. Winter wheat is
killed on such soils; on calcareous, gravelly
ones, rarely.
Good soils usually contain from sixty*five
to seventy-five per cent of silica; from ten
to sixteen of alumina; from four to ten of
Lime, and varying proportions of vegetable
matters, animal and mineral salts, &c.
The Analysis of soils forms one of the
most decided steps in the improvement of
agriculture, as it most clearly points out
what is wanting to remedy any defect, and
give ease of working, and abundance in pro
duct.
Every farmer should understand the na
ture and composition of his soils, and he
may do so with little time, and at a mere
trifle of expense.— Genesee Farmer.
The Farmer’s Monthly Visitor says the
foregoing is not only scientific, but plain and
radical: we hope no one will be deterred
rom a perusal of the article, nor by the lit
tle trouble that is required, from instituting
the experiments recommended.
Dover Cake. —Take half a pint of new
milk; one small tea-spoonful of pure soda;
one pound of sifted flour; one pound of
fiulverized sugar; one half of a pound of
>utter; six eggs well beaten up; brandy,
rosewater, and nutmeg to suit your taste.
Dissolve the soda in the milk and stir it
into the flour with the other ingredients—
then beat or knead the mass as you would
pound cake.
Transparent Pudding. —First make a
crust to hold it, then beat up five eggs very
light; add them to half a pound of melted
EQUS <©2B
butter, half a pound of pulverized loaf su
gar, and half a grated nutmeg —put your
pan over the fire and stir until it thickens,
then bake rapidly until a little brown on the
top —five minutes is generally sufficient.
The Ploughman. —The ploughman with
his broad sun-burnt hand, his homely dress,
and his open countenance, is often found to
possess more of the real attributes of a gen
tleman, than the enervated man milliner,
who is more careful of his gloves than of his
honor; whose shirt bosom must be as pure
as a virgin’s fame; and who, if one curl of
glossy wool were displaced, would be thrown
immediately into strong convulsions.
TKI E SKim)
Be always as merry ns ever von can
For no one delights in a sorrowful man.
Laughter. —“ Laugh and grow fat,” is
both trite and true. Democritus was famous
for laughter. Venus is expressly called by
Homer the laughter-loving queen. Jove
laughs at lovers’ perjuries. An editor laughs
when his subscribers pay—therefore he is
generally a melancholly man. When Scar
ron was on his death-bed, he exclaimed to
his weeping domestics, “ Ah! you will nev
er cry half so much as I have made you
laugh.”
“ Weigh your words, my son, Itefore you
speak,” said a prudent mother yesterday.
” I haint got no steel-yards,” was the in
nocent reply ; “ Mrs. Snub borrowed ours
on Monday to weigh Sally’s baby with.”
Machine poetry. —The crank of the ma
chine accidentally turned partly round the
other day, and out dropped the following :
The bright round silvery moon came up,
With many a diamond star,
As Diua raised the sash and cried,
“ My lub, is’t dar you ar!”
Birth-day Presents. —The “ Crescent Ci
ty” man, had the luck to receive a package
of presents on his last anniversary, among
which, we notice the following very appro
priate items :
“ Nine educated mice, with muslin tails,
and powdered with cheese.
A country post office done up in lavender,
and ironed smooth.
Six pair of corn-meal slippers, tied with
whiskey strings.
Left eye of Mr. Green’s balloon, with the
pupil at the free-school.
1 dozen flour starch knitting needles,
large size, “ big enough to go alone.”
The first catfish of the season, with a
large wound in his vest pocket!
A sage cheese duet, from Boston, where
it went on crutches.
A cent glass temperance society, warrant
ed not to break.
Crystallised dream of Victoria’s next
child, with squalls to match.
Daguerrotype sketch of animal magnet
ism, with Mahamet’s coffin in the back
ground.
A granite cravat, with seven “ cross pur
poses,” woven in to fit the neck.”
The Danger of bad French. —Not long
after the general peace, when all classes of
English travellers, learned and unlearned,
polished and unpolished, flocked to the Con
tinent, in search of the classical and the pic
turesque, one of these pilgrims met a com
panion sitting in a state of most woful des-
Eair, and apparently near the last agonies,
y the side of one of the mountain lakes of
Switzerland. With great anxiety he inquir
ed the cause of his suffering, “ Oh!” said
the latter, “ I was very hot and thirsty, and
took a large draught of the clear water of
the lake, and then sat down on this stone to
consult my guide book. To my astonish
ment, I found there that the water of this
lake is very poisonous ! ! Oh ! lam a gone
man—l drank much, there is no hope for me!
I feel it running all over me—l have only a
few minutes to live! Remember me to .”
“ Let me see the guide book,” said his
friend. Turning to the passage, he found,
“ L’eau du lac est bien poissoneus,” the
water of the lake abounds in fish. “Is that
the meaning of it 1” “Certainly.” “I nev
er was better,” said the dying man, leaping
up, with a countenance radiant as the sun
on a fine May morning. Then extending
his arm in the true Longbow style, “ There’s
muscle,” he cut a series of capers over the
grass that would have done honor to a Tes
tris. “ What would have become of you,”
said his friend, “if I had not met you V’ “I
should have died of imperfect knowledge
of the French language.”
Clerical Wit. —Watty Morrison, a Scotch
clergyman, was a man of great laughter
and humor. On one occasion, a young offi
cer scoffed at the idea of its requiring so
much study to prepare a sermon, as Minis
ters usually pretend, and offered a bet, that
he would preach half an hour on any pas
sage in the Old Testament, without the
least preparation. Mr. Morrison took the
bet and gave him for a text, “And the ass
opened his mouth as he spake.” The boast
ing officer was little inclined to employ his
eloquence on that text; and the humorous
Morrison won the wages and silenced the
scoffer.
On another occasion, Mr. Morrison en
treated an officer of Fort George, to pardon
a poor fellow who was sent to the halberds.
The officer offered to grant his request if he
would, in return, grant him the first favor he
might ask. Mr. Morrison agreed to this.
And the officer immediately demanded that
the ceremony of baptism should be perform
ed on a young puppy. The clergyman a
greed to it; and a party of gentlemen as
sembled to witness the novel baptism.
Mr. Morrison desired the officer to hold
up the dog, as was customary in the baptism
of children, and said, “ as I am a Minister of
the Church of Scotland, I must proceed ac
cording to the ceremonies of the Churqh.”
“Certainly,” said the Major, “lexpect
all the ceremony.”
“Well then, Major, I begin by the usual
question—you acknowledge yourself the
father of this puppy ?” A roar of laughter
burst from the crowd and the officer threw
the candidate for baptism away. Thus the
witty Minister turned the laugh against the
infidel, who intended to deride the sacred
ordinance.
Learning without common Sense. —That a
man may be very learned and yet sadly de
ficient in common sense, is capitally set forth
in the following anecdotes told by the Dub
lin University Magazine, of Dr. Bairett so
renowned for his erudition :
His only pets were a cat and a kitten, its
progeny. A friend seeing two holes in the
bottom of his door, asked him for what pur
pose he madq them there. Barret said it
was for his cats to go in and out.
“ Why,” replied his friend, “ would not
one do for both 1”
“You silly man,” answered the doctor,
“ how could the big cat get into the little
hole.”
“ But,” said his friend, “ could nut the lit
tle one go through the big hole 1”
“ Egad,” said Barret, “ and so she could,
but I never thought of that.”
Equally ingenious was the plan he pro
posed at the board for removing the rubbish
after some buildings had been pulled down
in the college courts. He considered it a
very unnecessary expense to have it drawn
away in carts, and said it would be a more
expeditious means of getting rid of it, to
dig a hole and bury it; when asked what
was to be done with the clay taken out of
the hole—”
“ D’ye see me now,” replied the philoso
phical doctor, “ can’t you dig another hole
and bury that 1” ,
No Wonder. —A friend tells us that he
attended the meeting of the Washingtonians
in the city of Baltimore a few weeks ago.
As usual, the meeting was opened by read
ing the Pledge, and an invitation to sign—
this was followed by a general rush for the
Secretary’s desk. A rum-seller at the farth
er end of the room got up, and asked leave
to say a few words. “ You Washingtonian
boys,” said he, “ have got all my customers
but one, and there he is signing now ! Guess
its no use to open shop any more, so, with
your permission, I'll sign too /” This was
received with immense cheering, during
which the rumseller walked to the desk, and
entered his name on the book.
High Origin of the Smith Family.—A
mong the Rosicrusian researches of Bulwer,
while diving into the mystic past, after the
hidden and now lost wonders of Alchemy,
we find that he makes a pupil of Zanoni
discover the origin of Smiths ! These illus
trious people, now overrunning in countless
numbers everv nation of the earth, are trac
ed back in a direct descent from the Phry
gian Apollo, Smintheus! Thus, through the
corruptions of ages and languages, the great
name has come down to us, varying in man
ner and wise as follows : Smintheus !!!!!
Smitheus!!!! Smythi!!! Smithe!! Smith!
From our own investigations, we are also
enabled to add, that the sponsorial prefix of
Smitheus was John—John Smitheus!— N.
O. Pic.
A savage Threat. —Two gentlemen met
in New Orleans lately. After shaking hands,
one said : “You must tell your brother, Mr.
Smith, that he must be careful how he regu
lates his conduct towards me. He met me
yesterday in the Merchant’s Exchange, and
in the presence of many gentlemen, called
me a liar, thief, puppy, scoundrel, and cow
ard, and then pulled my nose and kicked
me to the door. You may tell your brother
that if he carries the thing much farther he
will arouse a spirit which is not easily put
to rest. I shall not submit to every provoca
tion.”
It is not polite to sneeze into a lady’s face,
while in close conversation with her.
©QRL p a DEPARTMENT.
The Lead Tree. —Put in a large pint vial
an ounce of sugar of lead, and fill it to the
bottom of the neck with rain water. Then
suspend by a bit of silk, fastened also to the
cork, a piece of zinc wire, two or three
inches long, so that it may hang as nearly in
the centre as possible. Place die vial where
it will not be disturbed, and beautiful branch
ing chrystals of lead will form all around
the zinc.
The Tin Tree. —This is produced in the
same way; only instead of sugar of lead
use three drachms of muriate of tin, and
ten drops of nitric acid, and let them dis
solve well, before you put the zinc wire in.
The tin tree is more brilliant than the lead.
Impressions of Butterflies. —Take a dead
butterfly, cut off the wings and lay them
upon clean paper, in the form of the insect
when flying. Spread some clean thick
gum-water on another piece of paper, and
firess it on the wings; the little colored
leathery substance will adhere to it; then
lay a piece of white paper upon the top of
the gummed paper, and rub it gently with
your finger, or the smooth handle of a knife.
A perfect impression of the wings will thus
be taken. The body must be drawn and
painted in the space between the wings.
Directions to lay Mezzotinto Prints upon
Glass. —Cut off the margin, and lay the
print in a dish of hot water; let it remain
on the surface till it sinks. Take it out care
fully, and press it between cloths or paper,
so that no water may appear on the surface;
but the print must be quite damp. Then
lay it face uppermost on the table; have
ready a plate of pure clean glass, free from
spots or scratches; brush it over with some
Venice turpentine, and hold it to the fire a lit
tle to make it run equal and thin ; then let
it fall gently on the print. Press it down,
that the turpentine may stick to the print;
also press the print with your fingers from
the middle of the edges of the glass, so that
no blisters may remain. Now wet the print
with a soft cloth, and rub it gently with your
finger; the paper will peel off, leaving on
ly the impression upon the glass. When it
is dry, wet it over with oil of turpentine,
till it is transparent, and set it to dry, when
it will be fit for painting. The colors are
the usual oils, and there is nothing in the
process particular. The back of this paint
ing is generally washed with jdaister of
Paris.
