TTInIE FAMILY GaRGLE. “ Within thy realm no discord’s jarring sound la heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found !” THE ANGEL’S BIDDING. Brother, come up ! oh leave the earth And all its sordid cares awhile, And reassert thy heavenly birth, Where all creation’s glories smile— O, hither come! Brother, come up! our skies are fair. No clouds come o’er the face of day; No storms deform the balmy air That loves around our hills to play— O, hither come 1 Brother, come up ! the flowers that bloom . In earth’s fair garden, fade and die, But here they waft their soft perfume Thro’ heaven's sweet vales eternally: O, hither ccrae! Brother, come up! let earth still lure The heart that loves a changing scene ; Be thine the realms that still endure, In beauty perfect and serene : * O, hither come! Family Circle. —The constitution of the family circle affords most conclusive evi dence of the goodness of our Maker. If all the other arguments, that sustain this con soling doctrine, could be overthrown—if the variegated earth and the changing heavens were suddenly to lose the benevolent pro visions, with which they are crowded—if the eyes were no longer to view beautiful scenery, and the ear no more listen to the rapturous sound, there would still remain sufficient proof of this fact. Could we but witness the cordial feelings that circulate through the family throng—the careful avoidance of every thing that would create the slightest rupture —the suppression of the selfish emotions and the mutual regards that daily prevail, we should have no diffi culty in believing that “God is love.” As in the natural world, we have reme dies for our physical frames, so, in the moral world, we have antidotes for the removal of the pains, that agonize the bosom. Forced to mingle in the tempestuous concerns of business, perpetually meeting with unpleas ant occurrences and hourly experiencing ingratitude and unkindness, how dreary would be our situation, had we not a holy retreat, where the wasted energies might recruit, and the disappointments of hope he sweetly overcome? Where storm might hear the voice “Be still?” Where encour agement might be given to constant perse verance in piety’s path, and the tired wing replume itself for a still higher flight?” If it were not for the family circle, many of our strongest stimulants would be unfelt. How often would we cease exertion and sit dowu in despair, were it not for it? Fre quently when the sickness of defeated ex pectations has come over us, when resolu tion has wavered, and even wishes have grown careless, the thought of home has Eassed .through our minds, and the nerve as again been strung. The almost wither ed flower has raised its head and ceases to droop. The family circle! What but this recon ciles the hard laborer to the endurance of fatigue and suffering? What but this makes the state of the exile intolerable ? What but this kindles the imagination of the dreaming mariner? What but this draws the sigh from the bosom, when the farewell to home has been uttered? The family circle! There dwell the light of joy, there whisper the promises of hope. There Jove erects her altar, and inscribes upon it the names of kindred. There hea ven’s lasting blessing abides; there heaven’s foretastes are enjoyed. Parental anxiety. —Though a parent has many pleasures, yet has he numerous anxie ties. The future condition of his children awaken feelings of an intense character. Through the longest days and often in the night-time he has labored to acquire that amount of property, which will enable him to leave them comfortable. May not pover ty, nevertheless, with its gaunt form, invade his dwelling? When he shall be resting in the quiet home appointed for weary mortali ty, his strength gone and his foresight no longer operating for their good, they may be drinking the bitter draughts of adversity. It is not this, however, that excites his most painful apprehensions. It is for their moral condition, that he is concerned. He has spared no efforts for their spiritual welfare. He has striven to impress them with divine truth: to place the fear of God before their eyes; to lead them to avoid vice and make virtue their constant companion. Character he has ever held up before them as the rich est jewel that can be possessed, and by every motive has urged them to regulate their passions and govern their lives, by the pure principles of revelation. But may they not, despite of all his exertions, deviate from the path of honor, form unhappy con nexions, and cause everlasting ignominy to darken their names? After all his prayers and tears —after all his instructions and en treaties may they not forget the lessons of early life, and become the outcasts of socie ty? After his dying charge has been deliv ered to them, after the last tones of his fail ing voice have been employed in faithful warnings, after the solemnities of Eternity have given increased effect to his appeals, they mav cast off the mild restraints of piety and run into the wild extravagancies of dis sipation. How tormenting must be such reflections! Let not the devoted parent, however, de spair, for the seed sown will not perish—the fervent expostulation, the honest advice will follow his children, until they have renouhe ed sin and yielded themselves to the yoke of heavenly virtue. Drunkenness. —A drunken man is a great er monster than any that is to be found among all the creatures that Got! has made; as, indeed, there are fewcharacterswhich ap pear more despicable and deformed in the •yes of all reasonable persons than that of • drunkard. Wine often turns the good natured man into an idiot, and the choleric into an assassin. It gives bitterness to re sentment; it makes vanity insupportable, and displays every spot of t!e soul in its utmost deformity.— Spectator. Music. —Could we estimate the compara tive value of the pleasures of life, we would find that the gratification which music im parts, deserves to be ranked with our high est enjoyments. It is not experienced at the expense of principle. The tenderness of sensibility has not to be destroyed nor has an opiate to be administered to watchful conscience, before it can communicate de light. Its entrance into the mind is not by a pathway, strewn with the wrecks of reso lutions and covered with the fragments of holy hopes. The soul may reflect the light of Heaven as beautifully and clearly as the untouched snow, and yet, without the least violence to its sanctity, derive the greatest bliss from it. Other pleasures have their pain, but this has none. Other joys are succeeded by sorrows but this leaves none. Did we live in a world, without music, what elevating happiness would we have ? Though a sky of ever-changing hue might cover it, and a robe of unwithering green adorn it—though flowers might spring up on every side—though Eden’s loveliness might deck it, and Heaven’s glory surround it, yet would it be a cheerless home. It is music that makes the landscape attractive, and the grove enchanting. It is this that renders spring so welcome, arid summer so agreeable. It is this that leads to wander upon the stream’s mossy bank, velveted like a couch for a gay nymph. It is this that gives solitude a charm, that causes us to resign human society and court the associa tion and converse of Nature’s trackless for est. The influence of music upon the spirit is truly wonderful. How often, when inter course with the world has roughened our feelings, has the accustomed serenity been recovered by the soft notes of music ? How repeatedly has it made our pulses bound, and our hearts distend? Music! It is this, that makes earth an heaven —it is this that makes heaven what it is. Death. —A wise and due consideration of our latter end is neither to render us a sad, melancholy, disconsolate people, nor to ren der us unfit for the business and offices of our life, but to make us more watchful, vigi lant, industrious, sober, cheerful, and thank ful to that God that hath been pleased thus to make us serviceable to him, comfortable to ourselves, profitable to others; and after all this, to take away the bitterness and sting of death through Jesus Christ our Lord. Sin. —ls you would be free from sin, fly temptation; he that does not endeavor to avoid the one cannot expect Providence to protect him from the other. If the first sparks of ill were quenched, there would be no flame, for how can he kill who dares not be angry: or be an adulterer in act who does not transgress in thought; how can he be perjured that fears an oath; who defraud that does not allow himself to covet ?—Pal mer's Aphorisms. Time. —Can it be called living, to pass our lives in doing nothing ? Can we be said to make the best improvement of our time, when we let it slip without procuring any other satisfaction than such as pass away to gether with it?

Sec. Pickle Vinegar. —A friend writes, “ A la dy in Orange sent me a nice pot of pickles, last winter, the vinegar of which I think is particularly good, and as she has.sent me the recipe, I hand it over to the readers of the Planter.” “Ten gallons water—one gallon whiskey —one gallon molasses—one pint yeast —put all together in a warm situation the first warm weather in June, and in six weeks it will be ready for use.

Busk or Snap Beans. —You may, at any time in this month plant bush or snap beans to succeed those sown in the last. The early sorts are preferable for this planting, such as white, negro and yellow dwarfs. Choose, at this season, a piece of ground in an open situation ; and if you can give it a moderate dressing, it will be the better. Let the ground be well dug and laid even, and if the weather is inclinable to be very wet, which often happens about this time, take precaution to guard against it, Other wise it may prove destructive to the crop. Should the weather prove dry, it will be necessary to steep them in soft water for six or eight hours, before you plant them; they will in that case come up much sooner and stronger. It will be also requisite, when the ground is very dry, to water the drills before you plant the beans. But let it be observed, that steeping the beans is necessa ry only in dry wether. Let the bush beans that were planted the last month be frequently hoed, and the ground he kept constantly loose between them, which will greatly promote their growth. Cabbages. —The plants from cabbage seed, which was sown about the latter end of May, will be now fit to put out for good. You may still continue to sow the seeds of cabbages and savoys where required; if the rain does not cripple them, they will be fit to put out in six weeks after sowing, and will be particularly serviceable in town gar dens. Onions. —Your spring sown onions will be fit to take up by the beginning of this month; let the utmost attention be paid to this crop; for these are the roots you are to depend on for winter use; let them be housed as soon as they aie quite dry and in order. Turnips. —About the middle, or towards the latter end of this month, if the weather suits, sow your first crop of tupnips. For sowing this seed, choose an open situation—dig the ground, and sow the seed while it is fresh dug—let great care be taken not to sow the seed too thick, but as regu larly as possible. Watering. —Watering should, at this time, be duly practised in dry weather, to all such plants as have been lately planted out, till they have taken root. This work should be done always in the evening about two hours before sunset, that the water may have time enough to soak in before the sun comes on the plants the next day. Sun Flower Oil —We have had some in quiries as to the method of making sun flow er oil; and the quantity a bushel of seed will make; and the uses to which it can be applied. 1. Method of making. The same as that of linseed, except that the seed must first be hulled, or its hard envelop taken off. This is done by machinery with great ease. If ground with the hull, not half the quantity of oil can be obtained as when it is hulled. Any press that will extract the oil of linseed, will do for sun flower seed. 2. Quantity per bushel. Mr. Mann made some experiments which are recorded in the N. E. Farmer, in which only half a gal lon per bushel was obtained, and the project was abandoned. He did not hull the seed, hence the failure. C. A. Barnitz, near Bal timore, on the contrary, obtained a gallon of fine oil from a bushel, but his seed was hull ed, and none was lost by the saturation of the dry covering. When well managed, a gallon may be counted upon with certainty. 3. Uses. It makes a very good oil for lamps, burning clearly and without offensive smell. It is found to he well adapted for painting, spreading smooth and frying with facility. For the table, most* prefer it to olive oil, being cheaper, and having a more agreeable flavor. We may add here, that the quantity of seed produced on an acre will vary much, having ranged from 20 to 75 bushels. The editor of the Baltimore Farmer thinks that the average on good corn land may be stated at 50 bushels. We have no data from which to answer the inquiries of our correspondent at Can ton, in regard to the quantity of oil produced by hemp seed. Hemp seed oil possesses many of the qualities of linseed oil, and doubtless might be extracted with equal fa cility.—Cultivator. Ashes on Cotton. —We copy the following extract from a letter received by the editor of the Cultivator, from S. W. Cole, Esq., of Wadesboro, North Carolina. “This County (Anson,) is a fine faming section, and is the only county in the State well adapted to the raising of cotton. Here we raise a large quantity for this section of the union, and our planters are devoting more care to the improvement of their plan tations. The best manure for cotton is ash es. My mode for putting it on is this: I run a scatter furrow, then from a basket or box scatter about 35 hushes per acie in the fur row thus opened, and then with a dagon make the cotton ridge. I tried ashes and cotton seed as a manure last year, in the same field, and used the same quantity of each. The ashes made far the best cotton; it took an early start, looked green and fresh, whilst that planted on the ground manured with cotton seed, looked yellow a long time, and never recovered the check it received at first coming up.” Substitute for Coffee. —A paragraph in a foreign paper says that in Germany the seeds of the grapes are fast coming into use as a substitute for coffee. Something new under the Sun. —A new enemy to the cotton planter has made its appearance in Panola aud De Soto counties, Mississippi, in the shape of’ inumerable Snails, which eat up and destroy the plant, commencing with the leaf, and ending their repast with the bud. They are apparently the common sized snail without a shell, such as may be found adhering to the bark of trees in wet weather. Several entire cotton plantations have been I'uined by them,— Memphis Enquirer. TH E iHI fli) BW ©SS 0 ° Be always as merry as ever you can For no one delights in a sorrowful man. LAWYER’S DECLARATION. Fee simple, and a simple fee, And all the fees in tail, Are nothing—when compared with thee Thou best of fees—female. A shrewd and lively young belle was in troduced a few evenings since, to a bombastic little youth, about as diminutive in his per sonal appearance as a man “ever gets to be.” After conversing with her for some minutes, he turned to leave the room, when as he was on the point of opening the door, the young lady innocently observed, “Pray don’t trou ble yourself, there is the key-hole.” A gentleman describing the intellectual character of another, said, his mind had the dyspepsia—the ideas went through it with out digestion. An editor in Iliinois, mentioning the fact that ladies have discarded corsets, concludes with the following effusion: Sound the loud timbrel o’er hill, valley and sen, The tape strings are broken, and women are free!” The New Orleans Crescent City says: “An economical old lady in town, who has a small income, was in doubt yesterday how she could invest her funds safely. Trap told her to buy about six hundred hens, and if they couldn’t ‘fay up something’for her, he was afraid she would go to ruin. We believe she invested as above—consequent ly need he under no appre-/tew-sion of hard times, unless they are eggs-aggerated. A country lad writes to his friends in the interior, that every thing is cheap in Boston —that bank bills are only ninety-four cents, and that clothes are but four dollars a piece. A SAFE SPECULATION. “Your wife is beautiful and young, But then her clapper, how ’tis hung! Had Ia wife with such a tongue, I’d pack her off to France, sir.” “ Pshaw! you're too much afraid of strife, Would you improve your present life, I’d have you marry such a wife, I'm certain she would answer.” Two pretty girls at a roadside tavern used to dress themselves up and sit at the window about the time when the stage usually came along, which proceeding a wag observed, was nothing else than dressing for the stage ! A Good One. —The Richmond Star, speaking of a female merchant, who rejoices in the euphonious title of Miss Marina Mug, says, she has got anew calico dress— green ground with yellow sprigs—and anew sign, chalked on a bit of barrel cover, which reads thus: “New pcez and nice putraters by the quort or two sens wuth, for sale in this sul ler. Kum in.” “Mike, and is it yourself that can he after telling me how they make ice creams ?” “In truth I can: do they not bake them in cowld ovens to he sure?” The following appropriate lyric we found the other day on the back of a bioken bank bill: “ Hark, from the banks an awful crash, Ye patiots hear the cry; Here is a note that calls for cash, But, oh, * ‘tis all in my eye!’ ” A gentleman by the name of Jabe says he knows a family who are in the habit of having nothing for breakfast and warming it up for dinner. He thinks the boys would make good printers. Making a Conquest. —“ Tom,” said an impudent wag to a conceited fop, “I know a beautiful creature who wishes to make your acquaintance.” “ Dem’d glad to hear it—fine girl—struck with my appearance, I suppose, eh ?” “Yes—vety much so. She thinks you’d make a capital playmate for her pmodle dog.” * The editor of the Louisville Journal ob jects to the substitution of ladies for wine at our public dinners. He declares as his experience, that ladies are not only infinitely more intoxicating than wine, but he has moreover found them a thousand fold dearer. Satisfactory Definition. —A little girl ask ed her sister, “ what was chaos, that papa read about ?” The older child replied, “why, it is a great big pile of nothing and no place to put it in.” When to leave off dringing. —When you feel particularly desirous of having another glass, leave off, you have had enough. Wfien you look at a distant object and appear to see two, leave off, you have had too much. When you knock over your glass and spill your wine upon the table, or are unable to recollect the words of a song which you have been in the habit of singing for the last dozen years, leave the company, you are getting troublesome. When you nod in the chair, fall on the hearth rug, or lurch on your neighbor’s shoulder, go to bed, you are drunk. Drunkard's Love for Rum. —There is a good member of our Society, who, when first asked to sign the Pledge, talked after this fashion : “You are one of the worst enemies 1 have in the world. Why, you might as well try to part a man and wife, who are living happy together, as to part me from drink; for I love rum better than any man loves his wife!” “ Where does the fire go to, Paddy, when it goes out ?” “ Faith and it’s aisy to be tellin’ you the like o’ that. Where should the fire gp to, at all, at all, but to where you always find it again ?” “ And where is that, Paddy ?” “ Why, at the end of the lucifcrs, to be shurc.” AIDVERTTWEMENT#.

J. W. & D. F. KNOTT. April 10 ly3 Berkshire Ilogs. rIE subscriber having been for some time engaged in raising 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 the North, viz : From Mr. Lossing, of Albany, New-York, one sow ; from Mr. C. N. Bement, of Tiiree 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 boar 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 Newburg, 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 boar “Rip VanWinklc,” (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 full blooded China sow, purchased from Mr. Be ment, whose produce by Marquis, I 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 a communication from Mr. Bement, in the May number of the Cultivator, accompanying the portrait of Rip Van Winkle, in which he says: “I sent last year to Mr. John Bonnei, of White Plains, Georgia, several breeding sows, and no one, I assure you, has been more rigid or particular to procure the pure blood, and the best animals too. Applicants for pigs, in that section, may depend on procuring from him the real ‘ simeon purcs.’ ” 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 was given to “ Black John,” a pig four months and twelve days old, and 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 mv stock that was present at the Fair. It is necessary also to state that full and written ped igrees, running back to the orioinal stock imported from England, will be given of every pig pur chased from me, together wiin 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 obtain 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, wltich is ad mitted by all to be very essential. I believe that 1 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. 1 have contracted for, and will receive this fall, from Mr. A. B. Allen, of Buffalo, New-York, a very superi or young hoar, the produce of his best importation of last fall; so that I shall constantly have a cross fro® the best and most celebrated boars, both of this coun try and England. Persons wishing to procure the gen cine breed are invited to call 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. I freely challenge a comparison of my stock with that of any other breeder of Bcrkshires in Geor gia, and am confident that they will prove themselves equal, if not superior, to any in the Slat#. 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 put,lie may rest assured, that I am determined not to be surfas 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 shall 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, cither with a view of pur chasing pigs, or for the pleasure of viewing fine stock. John Conner. P. S.
