TOE EMffOlLTf ©o^©Ei “Within thy realm no discord’s jarring sound Is heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found!” THE WIFE’3 PRAYER. Hear me—Oh! hear me now ! By the red flush upon thy wasted cheek. By the deep tracery o’er thy marble brow, Hear me! Bear with me, husband, while 1 speak ! I've mark’d thee, day by day— Thine hours are all of anxious, vague unrest — Thine eye hath caught a stern, unwonted ray— Thy lip hath lost all memory of its jest. This wakeful ear hath heard Thoughts nursed by thee in solitude apart ; Which, like the young of the devoted bird, Feed on the burning life-blood of thy heart. Thy wife sits pale beside— Thy child shrinks back appalled from thine embrace— Thy menials quail before thy mein of pride— Thy very dog avoids thine altered face ! Oh! for poor Glory's wreath— Casting from thee all tenderness and gladness— Thou track’st a phantom on, whose fiery breath Drieth the way-founts, till thou thirst to madness! My prayer is all for theo— My life in thine : by our remembered Miss, By all thy watchful hours of misery, What meed hath Fame to render tbee for this 7 If thou yet lovest me, hear ! How, while thy feet press onward to the gonl, Turn thee, oh! turn thee, in thy stern career, And thrust this mad ambition from thy soul! Self. —This significant intruder is at all times one of the most impertinent compan ions in the world: you may try every art and contrivance in your power to get free from his troublesome conversation: the creature will press upon your retirement, and force himself upon you in spite of your teeth: will be meddling in your affairs, setting them in such a light as cannot fail of putting you out of humor, or teasing you with reflections that make you weary of your life. No place is safe from him. He will force himself in to the closet, hover about the bed, and pene trate through the thickest darkness, into the deepest recesses; will travel with you by land or sea, and will not quit you, though you be in banishment. There is a very whimsical circumstance, at the same time, attendant upon this paradoxical character. Most people are reproached with loving him with the greatest partiality and boldness; and are greatly delighted, it is said, to hear him praised, yet very few seek to come to the knowledge of him or cultivate his ac quaintance; nay, the greatest part, by all possible means, avoid encountering him. It is surprising to see, say they, the pains that arc continually taken, and the contrivances used to get rid of this continued phantom: some flatter him; some bully lnm; some endeavor to impose upon him, some carry him to the gaming-table, others to the bottle, and the like; but he never fails to detect their frauds, and to lesent them with severi ty; like the reckoning, he appears after the banquet is ove r , and not unfrequcntly reproaches one with profusion, and another with satiety. Nay, so galling are his repre hensions, and so troublesome his intrusion, that there have not been wanting instances, even in high life, of some, who not being able to help him otherwise off, have called to tlieir relief the halter, the dagger, or the pistol; and fairly removed themselves into another world, to get rid of him. Forgirencss of injuries. —lt is the mild and quiet half of the world, who are gener ally outraged and borne down by the other half of it; but in this they have the advan tage ; whatever be the sense of their wrongs, that pride stands not so watchful a sentinel over tlieir forgiveness, as it does in the fierce and froward; we should, all of us, I believe, be more forgiving than we are, would the world but give us leave, but it is apt to inter pose its ill offices in remissions, especially of this kind: the truth is, it has its laws, to which the heart is not always a party; and acts so like an unfeeling engine in all cases without distinction, that it requires all the firmness of the most settled humanity to bear up against it. Good sense. —lt will preserve us from censoriousness; will leaa us to distinguish circumstances; keep us from looking after visionary perfection, and make us see things in their proper light. It will lead us to stu dy dispositions, peculiarities, accommoda tions; to weigh consequences: to determine what to observe, and what to pass by; when to be immovable, and when to yield. It will produce good manners, keep us from taking freedoms, and handling things rough ly, will never agitate claims of superiority, but teach us to submit ourselvos one to an other. Good Bense will lead persons to re gard their own duties, rather than to recom mend those of others. Disease. —lt may be said that disease gen erally brings that equality which death com pletes. The distinctions which set one man so far above another, are very little preserv ed in the gloom of a sick chamber, where it will be in vain to expect entertainment from the gay, or instructions from the wise; where all human glory is obliterated, the wit cloud ed, the reason perplexed, and the hero sub dued ; where the highest and brightest of mortals find nothing left but consciousness and innocence. Mercies. —Were there but a single mercy apportioned to each minute of our lives, the sum would rise very high, but how is our arithmetic confounded when every minute has more than we can distinctly number. Profundity. —Profundity of thought is generally purchased at the expense of ver satility. To be very profound, it is neces sary that the intellectual eye be fixed, for a long time, on one continuous series of oper ations ; to be versatile, the mind must glance from subject to subject, and brood over none. Profundity plunges to the depths, while ver satility skims the surface, of the sea of spec ulation ; while the former is going down, the latter is sporting onward on easy wing. That trial is not fair, wliero affection or prejudice is the judge. THE \F A bold peasantry, their country’s pride When once destroy'd can never be supplied.” From the Bellows Falls (Vl.) GaiteUe. AGRICULTURE. Demosthenes, when asked the first requi site to eloquence replied, “action”—when asked the second, he replied, “action”— and the third, he still replied, “action.”— Industry bears the same relation to agricul ture that action did to eloquence in the esti mation of the Athenian orator. With in dustry the farmer may accomplish every thing, and without it he can do nothing. Let him then study the value of time. Time is his great capital, and should be well invest ed. The wealth of the world, its high civilization, all its magnificent improvements, have been created and fashioned by the la bor and industry of man. Tho poorest soil and the most unfavorable climate are scarce impediments to an industrious and energetic people. Look at Holland, reclaimed from the ocean, fenced in by her embankments and mud walls, literally, a smiling garden, where once there was nothing but bogs and ocean’s wave. Look at Switzerland, where an industrious and hardy peasantry, contending against the avalanches of snow and ice, and the emboulment of mountain masses of rock, falling and crushing for miles, every thing before them, have cut the hills and mountains in terraces and planted them in vine. Lands which before, were worth nothing, by this improvement sell for ten thousand francs per acre. “Six days shalt thou labor,” is the com mand of God. It is as imperative as that “thou shalt keep holy the seventh day.” The Almighty labored six days in the crea tion of the world and the things that are therein, and he rested on the seventh. We therefore violate this commandment just as much in neglecting to work six days, as we do in not keeping holy the seventh. How many farmers are remiss in keeping this high behest of heaven] How much time does he lose every year in attending foolish shows, unprofitable political meetings, vicious ga therings, horse races, musters, and going to E laces, public and private, where he has no usinessl There are few, very few indeed, whether farmers, mechanics or professional men, who would like to see this calculation made. The time thus spent is not only lost, but the crop, farm or business, very often sustains an injury which a dozen day’s work cannot remedy. “A stich in time saves nine,” is a homely proverb, but there is none which embodies more wisdom. No high improvement in the agriculture of any nation can take place whilst the spirit of emigration is abroad, and the population a floating one. The farmer should have fixed and abiding attachment to the soil. He should love it because it is bis own, because it has been his father’s, and is to be bis chil dren’s. He will then feel a proper pride in its improvement and cultivation. His en deavor will be to make it bettor, instead of wearing it out and moving to anew country. In Rome it was disreputable to sell or aban don the home of his fathers. I would have the same feeling exist in New England.— Every virtuous and patriotic citizen should feel himself bound to the soil that gave him birth—which has been the borne of bis fa ther, and which contains the bones of his ancestors. This miserably selfish, avaricious and dastardly spirit of emigration, not only paralyses the energy and improvement of our country, but it destroys all local attach ment and all love of country! He who is constantly wandering from place to place and from State to State, who is willing to exchange Vermont for Michigan, and New Hampshire for Texas, is utterly insensible to a high, lofty and disinteresY'd feeling of patriotism. HOMO. Rockingham, Vt. 1542.. From the Yankee Farmer. PROTECTION AGAINST DROUGHT. In tillage, tho best protection against drought that can he conveniently practised to a great extent, is frequently stirring the earth, so as to keep it light and loose. In this way, the earth at the surface is in many small particles, which serve as a non conductor of moisture, and retains it below, where the roots obtain a supply. On the contrary, when the earth is hard and compact, the moisture is readily con ducted off through it, even to a great depth in a very dry time. As an illustration, if one end of a long bar of iron be put into a fire, the heat will readily pass to the other end; but if that bar be cut into pieces of one inch or less in length, and laid along in the manner of a bar, tho pieces would touch in some places, and in others there would be a small space between them; and on heating one end, the other would not be effected, as the heat would not pass but a small space through the pieces. Again, wo will suppose that a fire of in tense heat be made on a block of iron, that is four feet square, and ten feet high, the body of iron would fast beome heated downward, even to the bottom. Now, if that iron should he cut or broken into fine pieces, and a body of iron formed of these pieces, of the same size as the block, and a fire of like degree of heat made thereon, the fire would work down slowly, after pene trating a small distance through the many particles, and the air intervening between them. We give this as the theory. Tt is the practice, as in all other things, that we rely on as the foundation of true science. There is in a dry time, a great quantity of moisture in the earth, that is continually rising and passing off in evaporation; and if this evaporation can be prevented, in a great measure by a non-conductor of moisture at the surface, the plants will suffer compara tively but little. This is abundantly shown in practice. Those who have not witnessed from ex periments and observations the advantages of fine loose earth on the surface, as a pro tection of plants against the drought, would not be likely to suppose its effects so great as it is, though the theory is plausible and reasonable. Corn and othor vegetables that have been well hoed in extremely dry times, have flourished well, while some parts left for experiment, were nearly destroyed by drought. Wo noticed the powerful effects of this ©(DUSPIHIEIBSt HI.& 8<DIB& lb il StJTa firotection last season. We cultivated a ew acres mostly dry land, and the drought was severe indeed. ‘Where the soil was frequently stirred and kept light and loose on the top, there was a constant moisture a short distance from the top; but where the earth remained unmoved it dried to a great depth. A narrow strip, running across the piece, was left for turnips, and remained unplough ed. On this the soil became dry below the usual depth of ploughing, and the weed 9 were almost dead for want of moisture, while at the side, weeds were fresh and vig orous, and the soil was dry only a few inches on the surface. Where some grain was sowed, the earth was dry down six or seven inches; while by the side of it, where the soil was often stir red, it was dried down only three or four inches. And in this latter case, the moist earth had a good deal of moisture, while the former contained but little. On this subject an intelligent cultivator observed, that he would rather have six men among lands, stirring the earth to keep it loose and fine, in a severe drought, than to have the same number of men engaged in watering the plants. THE HBl)GM©[%[] Be always as merry as ever you can For no one delights in a sorrowful man. Married in Spite of tlieir Teeth.—A choice Anecdote. —Old Governor Saltonstall, of Connecticut, who flourished some forty years since, was a man of some humor, as well as perseverance, in effecting the ends he desired. Among other anecdotes told of him by the New London people, the place where he resided, is the following : . Os the various sects which have flourish ed for their day, and then ceased to exist, was one known as the Rogerites, so called from their founder; a John, or Tom, or some other Rogers, who settled not far from the goodly town aforesaid. The distinguishing tenet of the sect, was their denial of propriety, and “ scripturality” of form of marriage. “It is not good for man to be alone.” This they believed, and also that one wife only should “ cleave to her husband.” But this then should be a matter of agreement merely, and the couple should come together and live as man and wife, dispensing with all the forms of the marriage contract. The old Governor used frequently to call upon Rogers, and. talk the matter over with him, and endeavor to con vince him of the impropriety of living with Sarah as he did. But neither John nor Sa rah, would give up the argument. It was a matter of -conscience with them —they were very happy together as they were—of what use then could a mere form be ? Suppose they would thereby escape scandal; were they not bound “to take up the cross,” and live according to the rules they professed ] The Governor’s logic was powerless. “ Now, John,” says the Governor, after a long discussion of the point, “ whj will you not marry Sarah I Have you not taken her to be your lawful wife I” “ Yes, certainly,” replies John, “ but my conscience will not permit me to marry her, in the forms of the world’s people.” “ Very well. But you love her!” “ Yes.” “ And respect her I” “ Yes.” “ And cherish her, as bone of your bone, and flesh of your flesh ]” “ Yes, certainly,” replies John. “ And you, Sarah, have taken John to be your lawful husband ]” “Yes, certainly, I have.” “ And you love him, and obey him, and re spect him, and cherish him I” “ Certainly, I do.” “ Then,” cried the Governor, rising, “in the name of the laws of God, and of tho Commonwealth of Connecticut, I pronounce you to be husband and wife!” The ravings and rage of John and Sarah were of no avail—the knot was tied by the highest authority of the State. Hands off. —A young damsel was going to a party, when her mother charged her to keep the beaux at a respectable distance. You may let them converse with you as much as you please, but make them keep their hands off.’ Miss went to the party, and saw some young men there with very pretty mouths and rich red lips, out of which came very sweet words. She was highly delight ed with one gallant, who told her she was as sweet as rock candy, and appeared dis posed to give ample proof that such was his opinion, by sipping the delightful nectar from her pouting lips. He put his arms a lound her neck, in order to detain her for the purpose, when she repulsed his advances and cried “ Hands off, Sir!” He then be gan to see humbly for the privilege of kiss ing her very softly on one cheek. “Oh yes you may kiss me as much as you please,” said she, “ but mamma says you must keep your hands oft'.” A serious old Dutchman, in days gone by, stopped in the vicinity of a boiling spring to rest his team, and bathe his fevered brow. Having left his son John at the horses’ heads, he proceeded with his bucket, and began to dip tho water. At the first dip, his pail dropped from his hands, and he re turned to his wagon on a full run, shouting, “ Shon ! Shon! trive on Shun ! h—l is not von mile from dish place!” Caleb Quotern. —An Ohio paper advertises for a good practical printer, who would take the charge of a printing office, read the proof, make selections, scribble a paragraph when necessary, rock and cradle, dig pota toes, cut wood, and go with tho gals to sing ing school, and neighboring quiltings. A young miss being asked what was the chief end of man, blushed considerably, and wanted to know if she must answer the question. “ Certainly,” said her teacher; “ I repeat the question, what is the chief end of man]” “ To—to—pop tho question,” was tho naive reply. Sho was sent home to her mother.

Two men by the name of Beans were hung in the north of England. A country man passing near and seeing the crowd, in quired what they were doing ] “Only string ing Beans,” was the reply. “ Daddy, daddy, it’s going to rain,” said a little urchin to his father the other even ing. “ What makes you think so, my son ]” “ ’Cause there’s a tarnal great circumstance round the mopn.” “ I see tlfe villain in your face,” said a western Judge to an Irish prisoner at the bar. “ May’t is please your worship,” re plied Pat, “ that must be a personal reflec tion, sure.” Absent-minded, rather. —A lady in New York laid the mop in the cradle, and wiped up the floor with her-baby. She discovered her mistake by its squalling when she came to ring it. “ Grand ma,” said a little girl with rosy cheeks to an elderly dame, “ ivliat makes it thunder and lighten I” “ Well, my darlin’, I ’spect the light from the blessed sun gits lodged in the clouds, and when a snag on’t gits together, it gits afire and busts. The streaks that fly out is the lightnin’, and the bustin’ is the thunder.’ A Militia captain in one of the northern States, during the late war, learning that a company had been organized for some speci al service, exclaimed, “ The darn’d fools, they’d better stick to the drum and five, than go to the expense of buying organs .” THE HAPPY PAIR.

J. M. EVANS. April 5, 1842. 1 Berkshire Hogs. THE subscriber having been for some time engaged 4- in raieing Berkshire stock, would inform those who feel desirous of improving their Hogs, that he has now on hand eight or ten SUPERIOR SOWS, selected from the stock of the best breeders at die North, viz: From Mr. Lossing, of Albany, New-York, one sow ; from Mr. C. N. Bemcnt, of Three Hills Farm, near .Al bany, three sows ; and from Messrs. A. & G. Brentnall,. of Canterbury, New-York, three sows—together with: some of my own raising, the produce of some of the above named sows. I have also a hoar from Mr. Los sing, and a very superior boar from Mr. Bement. My stock of hogs are the produce of the most cele brated boars ever imported into this country, among which may be mentioned Reading, Black Prince, Siday, Ontario, and Jack of New burg, who are too well known to require comment. My boar “Marquis,” purchased from Mr. Bement, was pronounced by that gentleman’ superior in point of form to his celebrated hoar “Rip- Van Winkle,” (his half-brother,) who received the first prize at the Fair of the New-York State Agricultural’ Society, held at Syracuse in September last: I have also a full blooded China sow, purchased from Mr.Be ment, whose produce hy Marquis, 1 Shall have to dis pose of this fall. I have one pair of White Hogs, a: large English breed, imported direct from England, and landed in Savannah in June last; and also a very su perior Berkshire sow, imported direct, who will shortly arrive. Those who wish to ascertain the quality of my stock are referred to n communication from Mr. Bement, in the May number of the Cultivator, accompanying the portrait of Rip Van Winkle,in which he snys : “lsent last year to Mr. John Bonnet, of White Plains, Georgia, several breeding sows, and no one, 1 assure you, has been more rigidor particular to procure the pure blond, and the best animals too. Aftplicants for pigs, in that, section, may depend on procuring from him the real ‘ simeon pures.’ ” I deem it but justice to myself to. state, that at the Fair of the “ Planter’s Club,” of Han cock County, held at Sparta, on the 6th of December last, the only prize awarded for a boar, was given to “ Black John,” a pig lour months and twelve days old r nnd weighing 166 pounds that day. The above pig was bred by myself and sold to Mr A. E. W. Brown, near Sparta, and was the only one of nlv stock that was present at the Fair. It is necessary also to state that full nnd written ped igrees, running back to the original stock imported from England, will he given of every pig pur chased from me, together with a certificate of age. To the produce of the sow purchased from Mr. Lossing I can give no pedigree on the mother’s side, not having been able to procure one from him. I have been par ticularly careful to obtnin full and correct pedigrees, not only for the purpose of procuring the best stock, but because without them, no breeder can ascertain wheth er or not he is really crossing his stock, which is ad mitted by all to be very essential. I believe that I have been at more trouble and greater expense, than any other man in Georgia, in obtaining the very best hogs, invariably ordering the best without limitation of price. I have contracted for, nnd will receive this fall, from Mr. A. B. Allen, of Buffiilo, New-York, a very superi or young boar, the produce of his best importation of last fall; sothat I shall constantly haven cross from the best and most celebrated boars, both of this coun try and England. Persons wishing to procure the gen uine breed arc invited to cnll and view my stock, and all who may order pigs are assured that they will re ceive those that are not only full blooded, but pure as imported. 1 freely challenge a comparison of my stock with that of any other breeder of Berkshires in Geor gia, and am confident that they will prove themselves equal, if not superior, to any in the State. At any rate I am perfectly willing that the character of my stock should be either raised or sunk by the event of such a comparison. Os this fact, however, the public may rest assured, that i am determined not to be surpas sed, and if 1 do not have the best hogs, it will be be cause money will not procure them. My Sows will commence littering in July or August, after which time I shad be pleased to furnish pigs to any who may favor me with their orders. My price for pigs is invariably Twenty Dollars per pair; no pigs being offered for sale that are not fully equal to those sold by other breeders. The hospitality of my house will be freely extended to all who may pay me a visit, either with a view of pur chasing pigs, or for the pleasure of viewing fine stock. JOHN BONNER. P. S. Orders for Pigs accompanied with the Cash, will always secure a preference; otherwise, the first applicants will be first served, and due notice given when the pigs will be ready for delivery.
