TOU FAPMIHfL,Y ©o^©lL[| a “ Within thy realm no discord’s jarring sound Is heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found!” THE EVENING HOURS. BY KEY. n. F. BYTE. Sweet evening hour! Sweet evening hour! That calms the air and shuts the flower; That brings the wild bee to its nest, The infant to its mother’s breast. Sweet hour! that bids the laborer cease; That gives the weary team release, And leads them home, and crowns them there With rest and shelter, food and care. O season of soft sounds and hues, Os twilight walks among the dews, Os feelings (aim and converse sweet, And thoughts too shadowy to repeat! Yes, lovely hour! thou art the time When feelings flow and wishes climb; When timid souls begin to dare, And God receives and answers prayer. Then, trembling, through the dewy skies, Look out the 6tars, like thoughful eyes Os angels, calm reclining there, And gazing on the world of care. Sweet hour! for heavenly musing made— When Isaac walked and Daniel prayed; When Abram’s offering God did own, And Jesus loved to be alone. Dcnth. —This is a world of sorrow. “Man is made to mourn,” the truth of which is every hour verified by the words, actions, and habiliments of almost every individual. Not that his Creator brought him into exis tence for the express purpose of inflicting {lunishment upon him, but because of his alien state. Sin “ brought death into the world and all our wo.” The various and innumerable crimes, which are so prevalent, degrade a large portion of the human fami ly into the deepest misery, and almost fill the earth with one loud and united cry of lamentation and distress. But, aside from those causes of sorrow, which are nearly, if not all, brought upon the sufferers by their own, or the vicious conduct of others, for “Man’s inhumanity to man, Makes countless thousands mourn,” there is another, and prolific source, whence springs, alike, the grief of the openly pro fane, the morally honest, and the truly pious. True they do not all sorrow to the same degree, or is their grief exactly to the same nature, although produced by the same cause. While one sorrows without any alleviation, and ceases not to give full vent to the bitter ness of his soul, “another sorrows not as those who have no hope,” but sunder the keenest pangs that flesh is capable of endur ing, can say, and feel the consolation the thought imparts, from having a well-ground ed assurance of its reality, “ My suffering time will soon be o’er, Then I shall sigh and weep no more.” Death, insatiate, unsparing death, is the cause of this universal amount of grief and pain. The husband is robbed of the part ner of his bosom; the wife of her only earthly comfort; children made orphans; friends separated; the fondest earthly ties cut asunder; the liveliest expectations dis appointed; the fairest prospects blasted; and the most matured plans frustrated, by this unconquerable enemy to human happi ness. To-day we may be basking in the mild sunshine of pleasure, with the light of joyful anticipations playing upon our brow, and surrounded by those who are interested and anxious for our welfare; to-morrow, we may be shrouded in all the gloom and melancholy of one bereaved of his nearest relative, or ourself encircled in the cold embrace of death. No situation in life, neither friends nor fortune, honor nor fame, love nor hatred, can shield us from his match less power. The young and the aged, the freeman and the slave, the learned and the illiterate, all, of whatever character or influ ence in society, all must yield implicit obe dience, when called upon to hear their final and eternal doom. In view of these im pressive and all-important truths, and the conduct of men in general in reference to this subject, how forcible is the sentiment, that “all men think all men mortal but them selves.” Idleness. —ldleness is the hot bed of temp tation, the cradle of disease, and the canker worm of felicity. In a little time, to the man who has no employment, life will have no novelty, and when novelty is laid in the grave, the funeral of comfort, will enter the churchyard. From that moment it is the shade, and not the man, who creeps along the path of mortality. On the contrary, what solid satisfaction does the man of dili gence possess ? What health in his counten ance! What strength in liislimbs! What vigor in his understanding! With what a zest does he relish the refreshments of the day! With what pleasure does he seek the bed of repose at night! It is not the accidental hardness of a pillow that can make him unhappy, and rob him of sleep. He earns bis maintenance and he enjoys it. He has faithfully labored in the day, and the slumbers of the night are a sweet retribu tion to him. To the diligent man every day is a little life, and every night is a little hea ven. The toil has been honest and the re ward is sure. Contempt. —There is no action in the be havior of one man towards another, of which human nature is more impatient than of con tempt, it being a thing made up of these two ingredients, an undervaluing of a man upon • belief of his utter uselessness and inabili ty, and a spiteful endeavor to engage the rest of the world in the same belief and slight esteem of him.— South. Desires. —lt should be an indispensable rule in life to contract our desires to our present condition, and whatever may be our expectations, to live within the compass of what we actually possess. It will he time enough to enjoy an estate when it comes in to our hands; but if we anticipate our good fortune we shall lose the pleasure of it when it arrives, and may possibly never possess what we have so foolishly counted up.— Spectator. A Garden. —A garden has ever had the praise and affection of the wise. What is requisite to make a wise and happy man but reflection and peace, and both are the na tural growth of a garden. Nor is a garden only a promoter of a good man’s happiness, hut the picture of it, and in some sort shows him to himself. Its culture, order, fruitful ness and seclusion from the world, compar ed to the weeds, wilderness and exposure of a common field, is no bad emblem of a good man compared to the multitude. A garden weeds the mind, it weeds it of world ly thoughts, and sows celestial seeds in their stead. For what do we see there but what awakens our gratitude to Heaven! A gar den to the virtuous is a paradise still extant, a paradise unlost. What a rich present from Heaven of sweet incense to man was wafted in that breeze! Wliat a delightful entertainment of sight glows on yonder bed, as if kindly showers the watery bow had shed all its most celestial colors on it! Here are no objects that fire the passions, nono that do not instruct the understanding and better the heart, while they delight the sense. —Centaur not Fabulous. Company. —As the slightest touch will defile a clean garment, which is not to be cleaned again without a great deal of trou ble; so the conversation of the wicked and debauched will in a very short time defile the mind of an innocent person, in a manner that will give him great trouble to recover his former purity. You may therefore more safely venture into company with a person infected with the plague, than with a vicious man; for the worst consequence of the first is death, but of the last the hazard of a worse destruction. For vicious people generally have a peculiar ambition to draw in the innocent to their party; and many of them are furnished with artifices and allure ments but too effectual for ensnaring.— Burgh. Manner.— l fear and suspect, that you have taken it into your head in many cases, that the matter is all, and the manner little or nothing. If you have, undeceive your self, and be convinced that, in every thing, the manner is full as important as the mat ter. If you speak the sense of an angel, in bad words and with a disagreeable utter ance, nobody will hear you twice, who can help it. If you write epistles as well as Cicero, but in a very had hand, and very ill spelled, whoever receives will laugh at them; and if you had the figure of Adonis, with an awkward air and motions, it will disgust, instead of pleasing. Study manner, there fore, in every thing, if you would be any thing. Intemperance. —l do not allow the pre tence of temperance, to all such as are sel dom or never drunk, or fall into surfeits, for men may lose their health, without losing tlieir senses, and be imtemperatc every day, without being drunk perhaps once in their lives. —Sir I Vm. Temple. Sleep. —Sleep has often l>ecn mentioned as the image of death; “so like it,” says Sir Thomas Brown, “that I dare not trust it,, without my ptayers.” Their resemblance is indeed striking and apparent; they both, when they seize the body, leave the soul at liberty, and wise is lie that remembers of both, that they can be safe and happy only by virtue. Silence. —Zeno, of all virtues, made his choice of silence ; for by it, said he, I hear other men’s imperfections and conceal my own. T Ini 1 IF A® M&m*. “ A bold peasantry, their country’s pride When once destroy’d can never be supplied.” AGRICULTURAL GLEANINGS. UY THE ETMTOR OF THE AMERICAN FARMER. Deep ploughing. —“ln all courses of crops, it is necessary that every part of the soil should bo made as useful as possible to the different plants; but the depth of the furrow in ploughing, must depend upon the nature of tho > soil, and of the subsoil. In r ich clayed soils, the furrow can scarcely be too deep; and in sandy, unless the subsoil contains some principles noxious to vegeta bles, the same practice should be adopted. When the roots are deep, they are less liable to be injured, either by excess of rain or drought; the layers shoot forth their radicles into every part of the soil, and the space from which tho nourishment is derived, more considerable than when the seed is super ficially inserted in the soil.” % Burning Soils. —“ All soils thatcontain too much dead vegetable fibre, and which con sequently lose from one-half of their weight by incineration, and all such as contain their earthy constituents in an impalpable state of division, i. c. the stiff clay and marls, are improved by burning; but in coarse sandy, or rich soils, containing a just mix ture of the earths; and in all cases in which the texture is already sufficiently soluble, the process of torefaction (burning) cannot be useful.” Soiling Cattle. —“ln feeding cattle with green food, there are many advantages in soiling, or supplying them with food, where their manure is preserved, out of the field; the plants are less injured when cut, than when torn or jagged with the teeth of the cattle, and no food is wasted by being trod den down. They are likewise, obliged to feed without making selection, and in con sequence the whole food is consumed: the attachment or dislike to a particular kind of food, exhibited by animals, offers no proof of its nutritive powers. Cattle at first refuse linseed cake, one of tho most nutritive sub stances on which they can be fed.” Dead Animals as Manure. —"By cover ing dead animals with five or six times their bulk of soil, mixed with one part of lime, and suffering them to remain for a few months, their decomposition would impreg nate the soil with soluble matters, so as to render it an excellent manure; and by mix ing a little fresh quicklime with it at the time of its removal, the disagreeable effluvia would he in a great measure destroyed; and it might be applied in the same way as any othor manure to crops.” a<d ump'm mib as©isil a a sitt From the Central New-York Farmer. Sowing grass seed in the Fall. —We have received the following communication from the late President of the New-York State Agricultural Society. The suggestions it contains arc of great importance, —and if any of our farmers have themselves tried the same experiment with their grass seed in the fall, we should be pleased to be fur nished with the results for our paper. Guildcrland, April 16/A, ISI2. I have been very unfortunate with my grass seed for two years, and in consequence my rotation of crops is sadly put out, and my farm in a deplorable condition. In con sequence of this, I have sought for some method which would enure success, when ever grass seed is sown. From you and our friend Sherwood, I learned that plaster sown after the grass seed had sprouted was very sure to prevent the subsequent withering of the young plants; but I find is not certain to do so. On mentioning to a very close mouthed, unsocial man, my distress—and also some experiment I had instituted, to ascertain how well founded the common opinion is, that clover will freeze out or otherwise perish, when sown in the fall, he shewed me a field of young clover sown last fall after harvesting his corn and potatoes, which will be fit for the scythe very early; and upon conversing with him further, I found that he had long ago discovered, that clover sown in the fall was certain to do well —and that it had in consequence, become his settled policy, to sow it at this period, abandoning spring altogether. Every farmer knows that Timothy is much more certain to take \vhen sown in the fall than when sown in the spring. But no far mer sows clover seed at that time, thart I am aware of, —and least of all, do they manage to sow their grass seed in the fall and mow it in the following summer. You may say that I over estimate the value of the fact I communicate; but al lowing that I do not—its publicatiom may give as much satisfaction, perhaps, to a thousand readers, as it has to me, to whom it was orally communicated by a man, who would not take an agricultural paper, nor have told me what he did, had he been aware that I would put it into the hands of one who will do all the good he can with it. J. B. NOTT. Chinese method of propagating fruit trees. —Take about two quarts of moist earth and tie it around the limb, which you wish to make anew tree of, by means of a piece of old cloth, or any thing else that will keep it in place. Let it remain several months, till the earth becomes full of small roots. Then cut off the limb just below the parcel of earth, and set it in tho ground. The small roots soon become large ones, and the limb speedily forms a productive tree. If the earth be put on a good limb in April it would probably be fit to plant in Novem ber; though I cannot 6ay it would not re quire another year. This method may, in many cases, be better than grafting, cutting off roots and planting the sprouts that run up from them, or any other method in use among us for multiplying the number of trees bearing choice kinds of apples or other fruits.— Vermont Chronicle. Care should be taken to include a bud or eye in the earth, and it will be better if one or two incisions are made through the bark, about one third of the way round. With shrubs, it is more convenient to peg down a twig in the earth in which it grows.—South ern Planter. From the Southern Planter. Potatoes. —Mr. Daniel I. Curtis, in a let ter to the Editors of the Cultivator, express es the opinion that too much seed is gener ally used in planting Irish potatoes. The consequence is a great many small potatoes, instead of a lesser number and greater weight of good ones. This opinion, long entertained, has been, says he, confirmed by experiments made during the last season, which he presents in the following tabular form: “No. I—All large potatoes, had in num ber, 368, weight 40.1 lbs. “No. 2—Six eyes in hill, cut from large potatoes, 292, weight 39J lbs. “No. 3—Four oyes in hill, cut from large potatoes, 220, weight 44f lbs. “No. 4—Two eyes in hill, cut from large potatoes, 230, weight 45 lbs. “No. s—All small whole potatoes, 260, weight 45jlbs. “No. 6—Six eyes, mit from small pota toes, 262, weight 41 j lbs. “No. 7 —Four eyes, cut from small pota toes, 270, weight 49J lbs.” The season he says was a very dry one, but thinks that would not affect the relative results. The rows were all subjected to ex actly the same variety. We infer, although it is not expressly stated, that the kind known as Pink Eye was the one used on this occasion. A Shingle Machine —Of simple construc tion has recently been constructed by Mr. D. M. Cummings, of East Lebanon, in this State, which requires only about half the power required to propel that in ordinary use. It is made of iron, about eight feet in diameter, and just high enough to work at. Its main feature is a horizontal wheel, with cutters at each and which rotates with a motion of about sixty revolutions per minute. The machine will cut sixteen shingles at each revolution, or half a million in ten hours. The cost is $l5O. — Claremont (N. II.) Eagle. Engrafting large Trees. —From some re cent experiments it would appear that there is no difficulty in engrafting trees of any size on to other stumps, if the two corres pond in size. It is only requisito to cut off both and plane them smooth, so that every part shall come in contact; then placing the tree on the stump, secure it in its new posi tion by braces, and cover the seam or joint with engrafting wax. Sheep. —The Lowell Courier says, that to supply the Middlesex mills one year with wool, it requires the fleeces of 374,400 sheep! 1200 are required every day that the mills arc in operation. TUE Ini QJ mo 0 ©TT . Be always as merry as ever you can For no one delights in a sorrowful man. The last great Speech. —T wo men, some where in the West, were indicted a short time ago for larceny. Money was scarce, and they experienced considerable difficulty in obtaining enough to secure the services of counsel. They finally managed to obtain the aid of a lawyer who had recently made his appearance in that region, and whose powers were altogether untried. Never theless he looked odd enough to be able to accomplish something rather above ordinary achievements. His face was of that order which defies description, for “ its likeness is neither in the heavens above, not in the earth beneath, nor in the water under the earth.” The names of his clients were McLauren and Hagan. McLauren has made a raise of fifteen dollars, and Hagan only five. The advocate was an honorable man, and felt himself constrained by all pro per considerations, to use his great powers principally for the benefit of the one who had paid the largest fee, allowing his other client a share of his abilities precisely pro portioned to the amount of the fee he had paid. The trial came on—the court room was crowded to overflowing. The testimony was given in, and the audience awaited the grand contest between the lawyers, with breathless anxiety. The prosecuting officer stated the grounds of his attack as briefly and succinctly as possible. Then arose the counsel for the defendants—the silence of death reigned among the auditory. The advocate stood for a moment, grave, solemn and impressive, and gazed around upon the jury and spectators as though he was labor ing to fathom their thoughts, in order so to shape his address as to produce the greatest possible effect. At last, in slow and solemn accents, he pronounced the following words: “ Gentlemen of the Jury—Might it be ‘ permitted mortal man like myself to stand with one foot on the earth and the other up on Georgium Sid us—a star which rolls its course in the regions of everlasting space, more than ten thousand miles from this Court House—l would catch the winged light nings in my two hands and bring them down at your feet, to enlighten your benighted understandings. Then, indeed, would you rise up as one man, and exclaim in a voice of thunder, “ McLauren is innocent, McLau ren is innocent, McLauren is innocent, and so is Hagan !” “ Gentlemen of the Jury—Might it be permitted to mortal man like myself to roll back the crystal flood-gates of Heaven, and invoke the spirits of departed men made peifect, then would I call upon the souls of a Grattan, a Curran, an Emmett, and the long line of Irish worthies who have gone to glory, to come down to earth and enlight en your benighted understandings. And from out the crystal flood-gates of heaven would issue a sound as sweet and enchant ing as the songs of angels and archangels singing the praises of the Lamb for ever and ever-, and the burthen of that sound would be, gentlemen of the Jury, McLauren is in nocent, McLauren is innocent, McLauren is innocent, and so is Hagan /” Down sat the distinguished advocate, a mid thunders of applause, and the Jury ac quitted the prisoners without leaving the box. Was ever the triumphant power of eloquence more signally displayed ]— Pic. A Yanlcce Baby. —The Concord Free man is out with the following good thing: “ In the summer of 1775, when the British army lay in Boston, a message of General Washington was sent in through Roxbury with a flag of truce, borne bj a large, stout, good looking man from the town Os Wil mington. Having arrived at head quarters and while waiting for a reply, one of the British soldiers who was rather short in sta ture, after an attentive survey of him, utter ed some expression of astonishment at his size. “Oh,” said the Yankee, “General Washington has fifteen thousand men at Cambridge, and lam the only baby of the lot.’’ “ I must not have such a noise here,” an grily exclaimed the keeper of a por ter house to a man who had been patron ising his bar too frequently, and annoying every body around him. “Now, look a here,” stammered out the drunken man; “if you want to keep a quiet house, you mustn’t sell liquor.” The landlord was conquered. William, are you into them sweetmeats again ? No, ma’am, them sweetmeats is in to me.” “Say, Uncle Ben, what sort o’ animals are them ’ere punkins that aro all over black, a most blue and little redish ?” “ Them, Jonathan, are called egg plants —vegetable eggs.” “ Eggs! Well, I swan, I should like one on ’em hatched, to see what sort of a critter vegetable am.” “ Pa, nobody shall putcorsets on me, shall they ? “ No, my son, they shan’t; but what put that in your head 1” “ Why, Mr. Green says as how if I kill any more of his chickens, he’ll give mo the darncst lacin’ that ever was.” Mutual Consolation. —A poor married woman was telling a staid lady, somewhat on the wrong side of fifty, of some domes tic troubles—which she in great part attri buted to the irregularities of her husband. “Well,” said the old maid, “you have brought these troubles on yourself. I told you not to marry him. I was sure ho would not mako you a good husband.” “He is not a good one, to be sure, madam,” replied the woman, “ but he is a great deal better than none at all.” A country lad, being taken with measles, expressed great anxiety as to the nature of tho disease—not knowing even its name. “My son,” replied his father, “ I think you must have tho measles.” “ The measles ! well, then, dad, I don’t caro a darn ; but by jingo, I was plaguy a fraid it was them politics /” Prices Reduced!

This is to certify, that I purchased of Johnston Sc. Robson, of Madison, Georgia, six bottles of Houck’s Panacea, which was administered to my wife who had been lingering with Dyspepsia for 8 or l 6 years, scarce ly ever seeing a well day. She has received so much benefit from its use that she firmly believes she would have been in the grave had she not have taken it. She is now in good health, for her age, being now about 60 1 years old. It lias also benefitted my neighbors. Its use will he very general in our County, when its virtues are tested.
