IT Ini! IFAMQILY ©o^©Ll “ Within thy realm no discord’s jarring sound la heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found!” TO THE EVENING STAR. Within thy glittering portals, oh, bright star! Methirks all purity and love doth dwell; Nor hydra-headed sin, nor crimson-handed war, Doth ere the beauty of thy lustre tnar: But there the myrtle and the rose forever bloom, And pale-eyed sorrow hangs no garlands on the tomb. The maiden, kneeling at the Almighty’s shrine, Forever chants his praise in anthems sweet; No dreams of death molest her thoughts divine, But the immortal spirit in her face doth shine: For under cloudless skies, and near the eternal throne, Naught shadows her young hopes, who thinks on God alone. Would I could kneel within that glorious sphere— I pant to be a bright immortal too! Ere time his withered flowers casts upon love’s bier, I’d burst affection's-chain which binds me here: For here the rose of love too swiftly fades away, And smiles illume the heart—those smiles too oft betray. Delay. —Who is there living who never chid himself for delay—again and again— thousands and thousands of times? Delay and procrastination—half indolence and half indecision, are most effectual robbers of time and defrauders of men’s purposes. The delays of good and dutiful intentions, which ultimately lead to the defeat of them, cause more regret and repentance in most men’s lives, probably, than any other class of causes. The sacred command on his head as on every other, is perfectly adapted to the nature and need of man: “What thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might.” One should never give a good purpose time to cool, nor allow labor and obligations to run up a score of debts and then clog his heels with duns. These things should all be kept ahead like a drove of sheep, or else they will loiter and hang behind, much to the plague of the overseer. It was the ad vice of one who accomplished an incredible amount of literary labor—to do whatever is to be done, and take the hours of reflec tion and recreation after business, and never before it. When a regiment is under march, the rear is often thrown into confusion, be cause the front do not move steadily and without interruption. It is the same thing with business. If that which is first in hand is not instantly, steadily and regularly despatched, other things accumulate behind till affairs begin to press all at once, and no human brain can bear the confusion. The contrary is a habit of mind which is very apt to beset men of intellect and talent, especially when their time is not regularly filled up, but left to their own arrangement. It is like the ivy round the oak, and ends by limiting, if it does not destroy the power of many and necessary exertions. Mothers should love poetry. —Montgomery in his lectures, while speaking of the influ ence of poetry, remarks that species of com position has the advantage of all others, in asmuch as it is the solace and delight of the accomplished of the finer, feebler,and bet ter sex, whose morals, manners and deport ment, give tone to society. They are the sisters, the lovers, and the companions of the present, and the mothers and nurses of the future generation. Poetry refines their tates, purifies their affections, and imbues their minds with lofty thoughts and elevated sentiments. By communicating the ennobling senti ments they derive from poetry to their com panions and co-equals in age; and infusing them into the plastic and tender minds of the young they exercise an incalculable in fluence over the destinies of the human race. The author to whom \yc have alluded men tions the fact that Alfred, King of England, owed much of his greatness to the passion which his mother had for poetry. “She was more than a mother to him.” The words of his mother taught him, the songs which his mother sang to him were the germs of thought, genius, enterprize, action, every thing to the future father of his coun try. We owe to poetry—probably to rude, humble, but fervent patriotic poetry, all that we owe to Alfred, .and all that he owes to his mother. Mothers must themselves be great —their minds must be stored with high and lofly thoughts, and noble and exalte(f senti ments, in order to make great men of their offsprings. Mo3t great men, who have lived, have had great mothers—great in their sphere of action. No station is more in teresting. It is the province of the mother to watch over the drawings of the immortal mind—to aid its development, and to give it that bias which is to color and control its whole future existence. We know of no spoctable more interest ing to the reflecting mind, and none which taxes deeper hold of the feelings than a moth er qualified for the task, watching the first budding of the human intellect, and train ing it to maturity. Nature a Proof of God's Existence.— lt is sweet to be alone, with nature’s work around; where God has traced in clearer lines, than ever priest or prophet’s page contained, the proofs of attributes divine; where earth and heaven outstretch their ample page for man to read. The humblest floweret of the vale, if viewed aright, will prove to skeptic man what never pagan rite, or papal bull, or mystic creed has proved, that God exists in wisdom, power and love—in all supreme. For what, but wisdom infinite, could form the simple leaf with varied hue, and filled with countless tubes, that draw from earth’s dark clods a shapeless mass, dissolved and purified, till matter, brute and dead, revives, and springs to life, and crowns the vale with flowers and sweet perfumes. Can man such simple work perform? The skilful hand may form a mimic rose, with stem and leaf o’erspread, with colors false, and bor rowed odors sweet. But let him hid the organs play, its leaves unfold, and yield him incense, fresh and sweet at morn and eve, as nature offers up to God. The rash, pre sumptuous man would stand abashed, and his own nothingness confess, compared to Him, whose voice from nothing called to life, and clothed with beauty all that lives. —Manchester Democrat. Deeds are the tongue of the heart. Miseries of Indolence. —None solittle enjoy life, and are such burdens to themselves, as those who have nothing to do—for “ A want of occupation is no rest — A mind quite vacant is a mind distress’d.” Such a man is not of God’s order; and opposing his obvious design in the faculties lie has given him, and in the condition in which he has placed him. Nothing, there fore, is promised in the scriptures to the in dolent. Take the indolent witli regard to exertion. What indecision ! What delay! What reluctance! What apprehension ! The slothful man says, “ there isalion with out, and I shall be slain in the street.” “ The way of the slothful man is a hedge of thorns ; but the way of the righteous is made plain.” Take him with regard to health—What sluggishness of circulation ! What depression of spirits ! What dullness of appetite! What enervation of frame! Take him with regard to temper and enjoy ment. Who is pettish and fretful ? Who feels wanton and childish cravings ? Who is too soft to bear any of the hardships of life? Who broods over every little vexation and inconvenience ? Who not only increases zeal, but conjures up imaginary evils, and get no sympathy from any one in either ? Who feels time wearisome and irksome? Who is devoured by ennui and spleen? Who oppresses others with their company, and their questions, and censorious talk? The active only have the true relish of life. He knows not what it is to labor, knows not what it is to enjoy. Recreation is only valu able as it unbends us; the idle know noth ing of it. It is exeition that renders rest delightful, and sleep sweet and undisturbed. That the happiness of life depends on the regular prosecution of some laudible pur pose of lawful calling, which engages, helps and enlivens all our powers, let those hear witness who after spending years in active usefulness, retire to enjoy themselves. Prayer should be always offered up for their servants and wives, and for themselves too. The indolent are a burden to themselves.— IF. Jay. The wants of our nature. —So great a por tion of our time is occupied by the love and pleasures of life, that few hours of leisure is allowed for reflection on the past, or meditation on the future. From the mo ment we leave our pillow in the morning, we find ourselves involved in a vortex of employments. AVe are naked, and must be clothed—we are thirsty, and must drink— we are hungry, and nature demands food; we are the slaves of avarice—we aspire to power or pant after fame. We enter with ardor into the list; our memory brings up no more of the past, than can aid us in the pursuit, and anticipation is occupied solely by the light hopes of success, or the dark fear of failure. Envy. —The greatest flood has the soonest ebb; the sorest tempest the most sudden calm: the hotest love the coldest end; and from the deepest desire often times ensues the deadliest hate. A wise man had rather be envied for providence than pitied for prodigality. Revenge harketh only at the stars, and spite spurns at that she cannot reach. An envious man waxeth lean with the fatness of his neighbors. Envy is the daughter of pride, the author of murder and revenge, the beginner of secret sedi tion, and the perpetual tormentor of virtue. Envy is the filthy sediment of the soul; a venom, a poison, or quicksilver which con sumed) the flesh, and drietli up the marrow of the bones. Revenge. —ls. is a work of prudence to prevent injury, and of a great mind, when done, not to revenge it. He that hath re venge in his power, and does not use it, is the great man ; it is for low and vulgar spir its to transport themselves; subdue your affections—to endure injuries with a brave mind is one half the conquest. T H I F ME u7~ “ A bold peasantry, their country’s pride When once destroy’d can never bo supplied.” ON THE WORKING AND THIN NING OF COTTON. My Dear Sir : Your repeated solicita tions to send you something for your Jour nal have induced me to overcome my indis position to write, and accordingly to prepare you something in the shape of an article. However, before proceeding any further, I must remind you that this is the first time “ Old Homespun,” has ventured to appear in the public prints. If, therefore, the cloth ing of his ideas, be not of the most fashion able texture, lam confident, that you and the public will excuse the appearance he makes, when he tells you that he does so, merely that his young friends may benefit by his publication of those facts, which long experience has taught him to be correct. I propose to give my notions upon the working and thinning of cotton. The cotton crops are generally up about the first of May; and the corn crops have been planted. At this season, then, although I seldom have any grass in my fields, 1 commence hoeing. This I do, to stir and loosen the earth, in order that the roots of the young plants may expand. I consider this hoeing of incalculable advantage, but great care should be taken as to the mode of doing it. In my first working, I use the hoe, prin cipally on the side of the bed, inclining to the top of it. Alongside of each hill of cotton, a chop or two is made on the top of the bed, to loosen the earth about the plants. In doing this, the worker must carefully ob serve not to draw the dirt away as he re moves the hoe from the chop it has made, else he will leave the plant exposed. An other thing which he should be made to ob serve, is, not to cut down the bed in such a manner as to form a ridge in the alleys. If he does not observe this rule most scrupu lously, he will fill up the alleys in such a manner as to prevent the rain from freely passing off when it falls. The non obser vance of this rule has ruined many a crop of cotton. 1 The second working is generally to haul up the earth to the plant. This is done, by standing in one alley, and machine over the S (DU ®mu last an U S IB 1L A St^* bed with the hoe, and drawing up to the Elant, the earth, which in the first working e had loosed in the. opposite alley. The object of hauling up its twofold—first, to kill and to cover the grass; and second in gathering the earth around the plant, to give it moisture, and consequently a start in growth. In the second working, I thin down the plants to four, five, or six, in proportion to the strength of growth, &c. The third workingis done precisely as the second, and iu this working I thin the plants down to two or three in each hill, as cir cumstances may require. In the fourth working which takes place about the middle of June, I thin down the plants to two in a hill, which at the rate of 60 or 65 hills on a task row (105 feet) leaves us from 120 to 130 plants to each row. The workings having been gone through, the consideration next arises—“ are the beds sufficiently large; or are they likely to lie washed down by the late rains 1” If either is the case, I haul up the bed—it otherwise, I hoe, taking care, at the same time, to keep up the original side of the bed, by hoeing up to the top of the same in an oblique di rection from the valleys. This operation is by some planters, called “ side hauling.” The crop being thinned down as describ ed, my most careful and sensible hands being now selected to thin. These are sent over the crop, and whenever a growth of six or seven feet is expected, they are instructed to leave from ninety to one hundred plants in the task row, and the poorest land from 120 to 130. After the fourth working, the cotton need not bo worked, except where the plant is low and wants hauling up to give it growth. The plant when well grown, is apt to be bruised and injured by being worked—the tops and arms of the plant are likely to be broken ; and in many other respects it re ceives more injury than service. I have thus, circumstantially described the working and thinning of cotton, because, Mr. Editor, many years experience has taught me that it is the most important considera tion in the whole process of cotton planting. Not to understand it correctly, i3 to the young planter a loss of one half of his Year ly interest. In concluding this article, I will recapitu late what 1 have said in the form of a few maxims for the young planter. Ist Work—Keep your field at an early period clear of grass —loosen the earth about the plant—thin your cotton moderately and keep your alleys clean and open. 2d Working—Haul the earth up to the plant, thin them down to four or five, and otherwise observe the same rules as in work ing the first. 3d and 4th Workings—Continue to haul and thin down the plants to the number re quired ; and never at any one period suffer water to remain upon your field. If you have too much water in the first growth of your cotton, it will render it backward, by rendering it too cold, and if you suffer it to remain upon the land when the plants begin to blossom and pod you may invariably cal culate on losing one half of your fruit. I remain, Mr. Editor, your friend and well wisher. OLD HOMESPUN. Necessity of Attention. —ln farming, as in every other business attention and strict superiutendance by the principal, are essen tial to success. No matter how good the manager may be, it is obsolutely necessary that his employer should look close to his own interest, and see that the labor oil the farm is conducted with fidelity and care, for there is no truth more incontrovertible than that neglect on his part, from its contagious nature, will beget indifference on the part of those under him. It is not necessary that he should be able,"and make proper direc tions ; it is equally important that he see that they are faithfully executed.— American Farmer. Silk Bounty. —The Secretary of the State of Massachusetts, lias prepared an abstract, by which it appears there has been paid, from the 10th of Feb. IS4I, to the 29th of Januaiy 1842, for the bounty on Silk, auth orized by the State, $4,777 65. There has been 27,219 lbs. 5 ozs. of cocoons raised, 1390 lbs. 4 ozs. of silk reeled. Silk crowing. —There has been paid, as premiums, for the culture of Silk, by the Auditor of the State of Illinois, the sum of S2OO for 2000 lbs. of cocoons. Tho certifi cates may not have been presented. Only one bounty lias as yet been paid for reeled silk. A Mr. Flint, of Adams county, (says the Union Agriculturist,) received SSO for 500 lbs. of cocoons raised, which is by far the largest premium obtained. The Sleep of Plants. —The sleep of the vegetable differs in one respect from that of the animal, that it is not caused by exhaust ed powers; but when light, which acts as a stimulus, is withdrawn, then the stocks of compound leaves hang back and fold their leaflets together, or cover the fruits so as to shelter them from the cold dews. This was termed by Linnreus sleep of plants, and said by him to be analogous to the action of spreading the wing, by which some birds shelter their young during the night. It is generally thought that Linnaeus’ term is somewhat hyperbolical; but the cessation of thestimulous of light, and the constrained position of the flower and the foliage may be advantageous to the vegetable constitu tion in a way similar to that in which it is beneficial to the animal system. Sir James Smith remarks, that as an infant requires a fuller measure of sleep than is needed by the man, so the young plant is more thor oughly close through the night than the older one. Living and Ornamental Fences. —At a re cent meeting of the Botanical Society of London, Mr. D. Cooper gave an account of anew living fence, formed byplantingyoung trees in a slanting position, every tree learn ing the opposite way, so that they will cross each other, and then at the parts which come in contact, take off from each a piece of bark and tio close together, covering the part with clay. This grafts each tree into its neighbor, and forms in a few years a living fence, with diamond-shape openings. The pi an is an excel lent one for ornamental fences. THU HBi M ©l o®¥ o Be always as merry as ever you can For no one delights in a sorrowful man. A patriotic politician has recommended the immediate attention of Government to the following subjects : His prayer is for the enlargement of the Pacific Ocean, and a bridge across the At lantic; also, for the filling up of Lake Su perior—to make a little more land, as it is very scarce this year. For the total annihilation of all musqui toes, both in Florida and the United States. For the abolition of eating whenever flour is $8 per barrel. To have the moon taken into the screw dock and copper bottomed. To fortify com fields against the depre dation of “ coons.” To remove Texas a leetle further off, it being somewhat too handy ; also, for the re moval of the Allegheny Mountains beyond tho Mississippi, they being at present a pub lic nuisance. The celebrated English divine, Thomas Fuller, was a great jester. On one occa sion, he askod a Mr. Sparrowhawk, “ what was the difference between an Owl and a Sparrowhawk ?” “ Sir,” said Mr. Sparrow hawk, “ an Owl is Fuller in the head, Fuller in the face, and Fuller all over.” Marriage ouright. —ln one of the upper counties of North Carolina, a youngTellow, by the name of Ben Sykes, had courted a fair one for some years, but either was not ready or willing to put the question: she was full willing, perhaps too willing, but he never came to the point. At last she got mad, and declared she would marry Bill Patterson if he ever courted her again. Bill, hearing of this, went, and once more put in his claim; but he was a scurvy fellow in some things, and neither dad nor mam was willing. So he secretly goes to R , gets a license, and that night theymade off for a Gretna squire. On their road to hap piness, however, who should they meet but Ben Sykes. He got an inkling of what was going on, and when he met them, he under stood how the case lay. “ Sally,” says he, “ I have fooled with you, that’s a fact, and I am sorry for it. But if you still prefer me to Bill Patterson, just say so, and I will give him a trashing, take his license, and make old Moody marry us to-night.” The old love was too strong for the new. Ben gave Bill a thrashing, took his gal, and, (what he hated most,) his license, which cost him seventy-five cents, and was off with his plunder to Moody’s. The old squire did not so well understand how one man could be married in virtue of a license granted to another. Ben said he did not himself un derstand law quibbles, but this he knew, that unless he did it, he, (the squire) would ketch it too. This hint was enough for Moody, who, without more ado, pronounced them man and wife. Menagerie Eloquence.- —“ The honely genivine specimen in the hunivversal globe of the East Ingy rhinosycross, wat was cotched on the top of the North Pole, by Captain Ross; and of the vonderful hoo rang-hootang as volloped three hottentots in AYan Demon’s Land, and was only captur ed arter it had drank three gallons of rum toddy.” Thclate Mr. Abernethy and Spirits. —The late Mr. Abernethy was once consulted by a gentleman whose habits had greatly im paired his digestive powers. After receiv ing the advice of the celebrated medical man we liave named, the patient said, “ But, sir, what spirits will you recommend me to drink ?” Mr. Abernethy, in disgust, replied, “Why, sir, you may take tincture of rhubarb, that is a spirit, or you may take tincture of jalap; that is a spirit, and they have this ad vantage above other spirits, you may take them into your body yourself, but they will take themselves out of your body as fast as they can.” More Monstrosities. —One of the English papers, under the bead of “new American patent,” announces the discovery of a “ pa tent hydrophobia water-proof hat, made of the skin of a mad dog, warranted not to take water.” A notorious toper having express ed his surprise at this announcement, a by stander remarked, that a much more efficient water-proof article could be made out of his mouth, for it had not been known to take water this ten years. Droll, if true. —A man was found asleep in the channel of the Ohio, near Cincinattl. AVken seen, he was lying on his back, and his nose had burnt away all the water with in boiling distance. School-hoy Wit. —A short time since, as a well-known English master in a grammar school was censuring his pupil for the dul ness of his comprehension, and consenting to instruct him in a sum of Practice —lie said, “Is not the price of a penny loaf al ways a penny ?” when the boy innocently answered—“ No, sir, the bakers sell them two for three halfpence when they are stale.” Stale wit is seldom as good as this. Business Stand. —A Frenchman being a bout to remove his shop, his landlord inquir ed the reason; stating, at the same time, that it was considered a very good stand for business. The Frenchman replied, with a shrug of the shoulder, “Oh yes, he’s very good stand for de business; by gar, me stand all day, for nobody come to make me move!” Nautical Phraseology. —Seamen aro not only indebted to the fair sex for many of their “ terms of art,” but also to the “ mo distes” of the land for much of the know ledge essential in seamanship. For, exam ple, no man can pass for a thorough seaman unless he can “ handle his needle,” and ex ecute with precision every possible “ stitch,” from the “ herring-bone”-to the “double seam.” He must also be able to “ gore,” “ cut upon the bias,” “ taughten his stays,” “ pass an earring,” and “clap a bonnet on his jib.” In the last particular, Jack, who often reverses matters, differs with the ladies of the land; ho “ claps” his bonnet on the “ foot,” instead of on the head of his jib. A Reason for going to Church. —Burger, the German poet, satirizes the sleepers at church in an epigram which we have not seen translated. Here is a version of it l “ All the night long I have not slept a wink, On Sunday morning said a languid fair; ’T is hard —but 1 will creep to church, I think', And possibly may doze a little there.” Fast driving. —“ Coachman,” said an out side passenger to one who was driving at a furious rate over one of the most mountain ous roads in the north of England, “ have you no consideration for our lives and limbs 1” “ What are your lives and limbs to me,” was the reply; “I am behind my time 1” Shocking Punning. —The BuflTulotiian says —Our jail must be in a sinking condition. It is always'more or less full, though people are constantly hailing out. The bumps raised on a man’s head by a cudgel, are now called/ray-nological devel opments. A Western paper thinks the school of whales, lately seen on our coast, are spout ing in sheer opposition to Congress. .ADVERTDeiiMiEiNnre. American Hotel, MADISON, GEORGIA.
