TOU [FAIMQILY ©O^OLtE* 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. ABVEOHTIE#IIMT. Masonic Notice.
