YUE COBSCOLE. “ Within tby realm no discord’s jarring sound .. Is heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found 1” Character. —Amongst the happiest and proudest possessions of a man is his charac ter—it is a wealth—it is a rank of itself. It usually procures the honors, and rarely the jealousies of fame. The wise man there fore despises not the opinion of the world —he estimates it at its full value—he does not wantonly jeopardise his treasure of a good name —he does not rush from vanity alone, against the received sentiments of others—he does not hazard his costly jewel with unworthy combatants, and for a petty stake. He respects the legislation of deco rum. If he be benevolent as well as wise, he will remember that character affords him a thousand utilities—that it enables him bet ter to forgive the erring and shelter the as sailed. But that character is built on a false and hollow basis, which is formed, not from the dictates of our own breast, but solely from the fear of censure. What is the es sence and the life of character! Principle, integrity, independence—or as one of our great old writers hath it—“that inbred loy alty to virtue, which can. serve her without a livery.” These are qualities that hang not upon any man’s breast. They must be formed within ourselves—they must make ourselves indissoluble and indestructible as the soul! If conscious of these possessions, we trust tranquilly to time and occasion to make them known, we may rest assured that our character, sooner or later, will establish itself. We cannot more easily defeat our own object than by a restless and fevered anxiety as to what the world will say of us. Except indeed, if we are tempted to un worthy compliances with what our consci ence disapproves, in order to please the fleeting and capricious countenance of the time.— Bulwer’s Student. Advice. —Of all advice that is best which is given by man to himself. To advise others puffs us up with an opinion oi our own merit; to instruct ourselves humbles our pride; others are instructed by our dis courses, which sometimes procure ns the esteem of those who are present at them; but when we instruct ourselves, we do it in secret; and this is anew reason why we neglect ourselves, and bestow our reproofs upon others; because there comes no honor to us from the advices, but those we give to others are often attended with applause. The rating'place. —"So man lieth down, and riseth not till the heavens be no more; they shall not wake; nor be raised out of their sleep.” < However dark and disconsolate the path of life may seem to any man, there is an hour of deep and quiet repose at hand, when the body may sink into dreamless slumber. Let not the imagination be startled, if this resting place instead of the bed of down, shall be the bed of gravel, or the rocky pave ment of the tomb. No matter where the remains of wearied man may lie, trie repose is deep and undisturbed—the sorrowful bosom heaves no more; the tears are dried up in their fountains; the aching heart is at rest, and the stormy waves of earthly tribu lation roll unheeded over the very bosoms of the pale nations of the dead—not one of the sleepers heeds the spirit stirring-trump or responds to the rending shouts of vic tory. How quiet these countless millions slum ber in the arms of their mother earth! The voice of the thunder shall not waken them; the loud cry of the elements—the winds— the waves nor even the giant tread of the earthquake, shall be able to cause an inquie tude in the chambers of death. They shall restand pass away! the last great battle shall be fought; and then a silver voice, at first just heard, shall rise to the tempest tone, and penetrate the voiceless grave. For the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall hear His voice.— J. N. Maffit. Benevolence. —“Not lor ourselves, but for others,” is the grand law of nature inscribed by the hand of God on every part of crea tion. Not for itself, but others, does the sun dispense its beam; not for themselves but others, do the clouds distill odors, does the earth unlock her treasures; not for themselves, but others, do the trees produce their fruit, or flowers diffuse their fragrance and display their hues. So, not for himself, but others, are the blessings of heaven be stowed on man. He who lives only for himself, and consumes the bounty of hoaven upon his lusts or consecrates it to the demon Oi avarice, is a barren rock in a fertile plain —he is a thorny bramble in a fruitful vine yard, he is the grave of God’s blessings— he is the very Arabia deseit of the moral world* Married life. —A great portion of the wretchedness which so often embitters mar ried life, I am pemnsded ha* originated in the negligence of trifles. Connubial happi ness is a thing of too fine a texture to be roughly handled—it is a delicate flower which indifference will chill and suspicion blast—it is a sensitive plant which will not even bear the touch of unkindness. It must be watered with the showers of tender af fection, expanded with the glow of atten tion, and guarded by the impregnable bar rier of unshaken confidence—thus matured, it will bloom with fragrance in every season of life, and relieve even the loneliness of declining years. Biography. —There is no part of history which seems capable of either more instruc tion or entertainment, than that which offers to us the select lives of great and virtuous men, who have made an eminent figure on the public stage of the world. In these we see at one view what the annals of a whole age can afford that is worthy of notice, and in the wide field of universal history, skip ping as it were over the barren places, gather all its flowers, and jpossess ourselves at once •f all that is good in it.— Middleton’* life of Cuxro. Pride. —ls a proud man makes me keep my distance, the comfort is he keeps his at the same time.— Dr. Swift. FAULTS. Corrupted manners I shall ne’er defend, Nor lalsdly witty, for my faults contend. As all error is meanness, it is incumbent on every man who consults his own dignity, to retract it as soon as he discovers it, with out fearing any censure so much as that of his own mind. As justice requires that all injuries should be repaiied, it is the duty of him who has seduced others by bad prac tices, or false notions, to endeavor that such as have adopted his errors should know his retraction, and that those who have learned vice by his example, should by his example be taught amendment.— Johnson. Wisdom. —All the wisdom of man con sists in this alone—to know and worship God—this is our doctrine, this is our opin ion; and this, with as loud a voice as I can, I testify, profess and proclaim. This is what all the philosophers during their whole life sought, but could never find nor compre hend, nor attain to because they retained a corrupt religion, or bad none at all. Let them all then be gone who do not instruct, but disturb human life. How can they teach others, who are not instructed themselves? how can they heal the sick or guide the blind.— Miller. The duties of religion sincerely and regu larly performed, will always be sufficient to exalt the meanest, and to exercise the high est understanding. That mind will never be vacant which is frequently recalled by stated duties to meditations on eternal inter ests; nor can any hour be long which is spent in obtaining some new qualification for celestial happiness. Truth is always consistent with itself, and needs nothing to help it out; it is always near at hand and sits upon our lips, and is ready to drop out before we are aware; whereas a fie is troublesome, and sets a man’s invention on the rack, and one trick needs a great many more of the same kind to make it good. THE FAESGM gU a “• A bold peasantry, their country’s pride When once destroy’d can never be supplied.” Salt in Agriculture. —Salt is valuable as a manure, and for the destruction of insects. It has been used to a great extent in Eng land. In this country there has been less attention paid to the subject. The quanti ty to the acre is from five to ten bushels. We have been informed by an English Far mer who has often known it to he used with success, that the usual quantities are about 500 pounds to the aero on grass land, and 700 on tillage. He knew a failure in a wheat crop in consequence of a large number of slugs in the ground. Salt was applied to the land and immediately a large number of dead slugs were found on the surface; and the air was so affected as to be offensive. The land was again sowed with wheat and pro duced a large crop the next year. In some seasons a great deal of damage is done to grass lands in some sections of the country. Sometimes many acres of grass are completely destroyed. In such cases a good dressing of salt would doubtless an swer the double purpose of destroying the worms and increasing the growth of the grass. An experiment could be convenient ly tried at a small expense. In the London Farmer’s Magazine, one gives the experiments of a farmer, in the use of salt for destroying slugs, and worms, with which his wheat land was much infest ed. He applied it to twenty acres at differ ent seasons. He observes that “in every situation and at every time, the effect ap peared equally beneficial. In the morning each throw could be distinguished by the slime and number of dead slugs lying on the ground; in some fields it had been the means of preventing the total destruction of the crop.” He used about five bushels to the acre. He had not determined what season wus best for applying the salt, but the state of the weather, and the time of day should be re garded. The weather should be mild and moist, but not rainy. The land damp, but not wet. The salt should not be sown when the sun is shining, but early in the morning before sun-rise, or after sun-set. We suppose that these rules for applying salt have reference to its use when the crop is growing, for a direct application of salt in a considerable quantity to growing vege tables will kill immediately almost every kind. Therefore it should be applied to a growing crop with great caution, and with the most favorable circumstances, as above named. We would recommend to those who are not acquainted with the effects of salt on vegetation, to make experiments on a small scale when applied after the plants are growing, and they will soon witness its effects. Whether salt be used as a manure or for the destruction of worms, See., it is best to apply it a few weeks before planting, that it may become spread evenly in the soil. Fine salt should be used, unless it he applied to the soil long before planting, as a large piece of salt might destroy a plant if applied to it.— Farmer’s Jour. Horses and Oxen for Teams. —l have ob served that in many places horses have taken the place of oxen, are used for the purpose of fanning, introduced, I suppose, under the impression that they are better adapted to the service, and more profitable to the own er. lam not about to contradict the truth of this supposition, or prove that a man can ot plough and harrow as fast and as well with horses as with oxen, but shall merely mention a few of the comparative merits and demerits of these animals, that may de termine which is most useful and profita ble. The horse, when put to service, must have arrived at his full strength and value, conse quently there is no gain on the capital in vested, besides what arises from service,and as he is good for nothing at the end of the service, there will be a discount at least equal to the amount of cost. The ox may submit to the yoke when young, and partly remunerate his owner for cost of keeping, while obtaining his growth, © <d m w m m ib st when he may be sold to the butcher, and the money invested in younger stock; thus there w ill be a constant gain in growth, while the services will be sufficient for the purpose of farming. The horse, if kept on hay alone, must have his masticating powers almost perpetually in [motion; the ox re serves some of his time for rumination; hence there may be a difference in the cost of keeping. The cost of equipping a horse for the regular farm service is greater than that of the ox, —and more time is required ty put on and off these equipments. In shoeing, the difference of cost is in favor of an ox, as also it is in the quality of the rflan ure they make. The ox has an intrinsic value arising from the good qualities of his flesh and skin, the one being good for food —the other for leather, whereas veiy little can be made out of a dead horse. For some kinds of farm service, the horse is prefera ble to the ox, such as fight ploughing and harrowing, but for carting, hauling stone and other heavy work, he is not so good. He is better adapted to the road service, and i3 useful for milling, marketing, and mccten ing; he also may be used for journeying and visiting. It is convenient, and perhaps profitable, to keep both these useful ani mals, as well as cows,sheep, and other stock; but when the number of horses greatly ex ceed those of oxen, or even cows, it is time to begin to count the cost, which may be done by opening account current with eac% animal, keeping debt ana Credit, or what you give and receive from each.— Maine Farmer. Important to Farmers. —l Tart Mussey, Esq., of this village, took a small portion of the seed corn with which he planted a field, and soaked it in a solution of sail nitre, com monly called saltpetre, and planted five rows with the seed thus prepared. Now for the result. The five rows planted with corn prepared with saltpetre, yielded more than 2o rows planted without any preparation. The five rows were untouched by the worms, while the remainder of the field suffered severely by their depredations. We should judge that not one kernel saturated with saltpetre w-as touched, while a'most every hill in the adjoining row suffered severely. No one who will examine the field, can doubt the efficacy of the preparation. He will be astonished at the striking difference between the five rows and the remainder of the field. Here is a simple fact, which if seasonably known would have saved many thousands of dollars to the farmers of this county alone, in the article of com. It is a fact which should be universally known, and in all pro bability one of the greatest discoveries of modem times in the much neglected science of Agriculture. At all events, the experi ment should be extensively tested, as the re sults are deemed certain, while the expense is comparatively nothing. Mr. M. also stated as to the result of an-, other experiment tried upon one of his ap ple trees last spring. It is a fine, thrifty, healthy tree, about twenty-five or thirty years old, but has never in any one year pro duced over about two bushels of apples. While in blossom last spring, be ascended the tree, and sprinkled plaster freely on the blossoms, and the result is, that it will yield this year twenty bushels of apples. Now if the plaster will prevent the blast, it is a discovery of great importance. Mr. M. was led to make the experiment by reading an account of the production of trees ad joining a meadow where plaster had been sown at a time when there was a light breeze in the direction of the orchard, the trees contiguous to the meadow bearing well while the others produced no fruit.— Water town Standard. IT [HI IE fra EH RACKS g@T a Bo always as merry as ever you can For no one delights in a sorrowful man. Anecdote of Washington. —While Colonel Washington was on a visit to New York in 1773, it was boasted at the table of the Brit ish Governor, that a regiment just landed from England, contained among its officers some of the finest specimens of martial ele gance in his Majesty’s service—in fact, the most superb military-looking fellows ever landed upon the shores of the new world. “I wager your Excellency a pair of gloves,” said a Mrs. Morris, an American lady, “that I will show you a finer man in the procession to-morrow than your Excel lency can select from your famous regi ment.” “ Done, Madam,” replied the Governor. The morrow came (the 4th of June,) and the procession, in honor of the birthday of the King, advanced through Broadway to the strains of military music. As the troop defiled before the Governor, ho pointed out to the lady several officers by name, claim ing her admiration for their superior per sons and brilliant equipments. In the rear of the trooncameo hand of officers not ou duty, of colonial officers, and strangers of distinction. Immediately on their appear ance, the attention of the Governor was seen to be directed towards a tall and mar tial looking figure, that marched with grave and messured tread, apparently indifferent to the scene aiound him. The lady now archly observed, “I perceive that your Ex cellency’s eyes ate turned to the right ob ject; what say you to your wager now, sir?” “Lost madam,” replied the gallant Gov ernor; “when l laid my wager I was uot aware that Colonel Washington was in New York.” So long ago as the vice-regal court at Williamsburg, in the days of Lord Boote court, Colonel Washington was remarkable for his splendid person, the air with which he wore a small sword, and his peculiar walk, that had the light elastric tread ac quired by his long services on the frontier, and was a matter of much observation, es pecially to foreigners. Comparative Virtue. —A shopkeeper at Doncaster had, for his virtues, obtained the name of the little rascal. A stranglr asked him why this appellation had beet given him? “To distinguish me from thorest of the trade,” quoth he, “ who are al great rascals.’’ Direct Examination. —“Collins, did the prisoner strike you?” Witness: “Did he strike me? Don’t you know he did ?” “No matter what I know—l ask you to state what you know touching the subject.” “I’m not a subject—l’m a citizen, and if you look at me hat you’ll see whether he touched me or not. The mark of the axe is plain to be seen there as the thrack of me mother’s fingers in a print of butther.” “When was it he did this?” “O, in troth it’s’ not so long ago but I can remember it.” “ Well, I want you to state when it was— was it a year ago?” “Was it year ago? Why if he’d kilt me I don’t know that it ’ud make any great differ ence to mceself in pint of time.” “But when did he do it?” “Whin did he do it? O, be gor, I didn’t make an almanac of me head to register the date in’t, though be my 60wl he was near making an intry there in the owld fashioned way, that they used to keep accounts before there was so much larnin in the world—he thought to put a nick in the post.” “Well, but can’t you tell how many days or weeks it is, since he committed the as sault ?” “ Why, it was just the day before he was committed himself be the Mayor of Lafay ette—three weeks or thereabouts; sure if you look at the paper (indictment) there afore you, you’ll see at wonst, without go ing to all this trouble.”— N. O. Picayune. Hear both sides. —“ Why, it’s good to get drunk once in a while,” said a rummer, “for it cleans a fellow out.” “That’s a fact, it does,” replied a Wash ingtonian, “ it cleans him out of house, home, money, and friends.” “Thoughts, sir, thoughts!” exclaimed a would-be-poet, “are the divine wings that bear me up into the seventh heaven, to en joy the feast of reason and the flow of soul, while you can only feast on bread, and cheese, and porter. But what is the use of speaking to you, you never had a thought in all your fife.” “Yes; I have one now.” “Whatis it?” “ That you are a fool.” “Bob, I understand you are on a cruise after Dick to cowhide him.” “Yes—l am off on a whaling expedition.” A parish clerk, instead of reading from the Psalms. “ The unrighteous shall be com pared to beasts that perish,” bawled out, “ The unrighteous shall be compared to the best of the parish .” Sublime calculation. —The voice of a lo cust can be beard one eighth of a mile; and it is calculated that if a middling sized man had a voice as strong in proportion to his weight, he could be heard 2,773 miles. It is also calculated that if a man was as nim ble in proportion to his 9ize as a flea, lie could hop more than twelve thousand miles: or about as far as from New York to China. Should “like to see ’em go it.”— American Mechanic. The Mare. —An alderman by the name of Kirk owned a valuable mare, which was put under the care of an Irish servant. The mare happened to die one day, by some violent disease, and the servant immediate ly informed his mistress, “ marm, the mare’s dead.” “The mayor dead!” replied the lady; “then I suppose Mr. Kirk will be mayor now.” “Indade marm,” exclaimed Pat, “it is not the man mare but the horse mare that I mane.” The Rights of Women. —“ Some ladies have distinguished themselves by declaim ing against the oppression of women, which they say exists in our Christian land. They say women are kept in a condition of in feriority to men, and that of right they ought to be equal.” We have been thinking the matter over, and have come to the conclu sion that the wrong is quite another way; and that if rights ought to bo divided half and half, we should be for anew division. Not on the ground upon which Miss Grimke goes, that men are not women, or permitted to engage in women’s occupations, but be cause, when the simple question of superi ority is at issue, the men always have to give up. If ladies and gentlemen meet on the side walk, who has to turn out ? If there are not seats for all the company, who has to stand up ? When there is danger to face, who must go forward ? If there is curiosity to gratify, who goes behind ? If there is too much company for the first table who eats at the second ? Who has always the right hand and the most respectable position ? We could mention a hundred other cases, in which, on the simple question of right every thing is yielded to the women. But there are many cases in which the condition ol men is still worse. For instance, if on any public occasion a pew at church or a . seat any where, be occupied by men ever so respectable or aged, a smirky little beau ty trips along and presents herself at the top of the seat, and they must all jump up and clear out as if they had been shot. Espe cially ought it to be noticed, that when ma trimonial negociations are to be made, the whole burden of performing the delicate and often very embarrassing part of making proposals, is thrown upon the men, while the women sit and say no, as long as they like, and never say yes until they have a mind to. Mrs. Angelina Grimke Weld may show a catalogue of equal grievances if she can. Ridiculous Affair at Wexford. —Some time ago tho daughter of a man named Bol ger, residing at Wexford, procured a suit of boy’s clothes, and went to “ seek her for ture” at Liverpool, as a “ dashing young Irishman.” She was hired by an English gontleman as groom, and for months rode after him as such. On his loaving the coun try, he recommended his groom in the strong est terms, and Miss Bolger was next hired as an indoor servant. One of the maids, however, became attached to her, and, to a void her importunity, Miss Bolger joined a twopenny show, where she soon attained the exalted station of tumbling; on the stage, and describing figuratively the letters of the al phabet. The show booth arrived last week at Wexford, and her brother by a singular coincidence, was employed in one of the departments connected with the building, and recognized his long-lost sister in the in teresting posture master. Her father, with the assistance of the police, conveyed her to his house, but she is so pleased with her male attire that neither threats nor persua sion can prevail on her to “part with.the breeches.”— English paper. 05 s * Read what follows.
