■n*ws Eaaasa©^ ©IF IFIEIMALIE GRACE*. Education. —lt is unjust and dangerous to hold out false lights to young persons; for, finding that their guides hove in oue respect designedly led them astray, they may be led likewise to reject as untrue all else they have been taught j and so nothing but disappoint ment, error, and rebellion, can be the con sequence. Let girls, advancing to womanhood, be told the true state of the world with which they are to mingle. Let them know its real opinions on the subjects connected with themselves as women, companions, friends, relatives. Hide not from them what socie ty thinks and expects on all these matters; bur fail not to show them, at the same time, where the fashions of the day would lead them wrong —where the laws of heaven and man’s approving (though not always submit ting) reason, would keep them aright. Let religion and morality be the founda tion of the female character. The artist may then adorn the structure without any danger to its safety. When a girl is instructed on the great purpose of her existence; that she is an immortal being, as well as a mortal wo man ; you may, without fearing ill impres sions, show her, that as we admire the beau ty of the rose, as well as esteem its medici nal power, so her personal charms will be dear in the eyes of him whose heart is occu- Eied by the graces of her yet more estima le mind. We may safely teach a well-ed ucated girl that virtue ought to wear an in viting aspect; that itis duetohcrexcellence to decorate her comely apparel. But we must never cease to remember that it is vir tue we seek to adorn. It must not be a merely beautiful form ; for that, if it possess not the charm of intelligence, the bond of rational tenderness, is a frame without a soul; a statue, which we look on and admire, pass away and forget it. We must impress upon the yet ingenuous maid, that while beauty attracts, its influence is transient, unless it presents itself as the harbinger of that good sense and principle, which can alone secure the affection of a husband, the esteem of friends, and the respect of the world. Show her that regularity of features and symmetry of form are not essentials in the composition of the woman whom the wise man would se lect as the partner of his life. Seek, as an example, someone of your less fair acquain tance, whose sweet disposition, gentle man ners, and winning deportment, render her the delight of her kindred, the dear solace of her husband. Show your young and lovely pupil what use this amiable woman has made of her few talents ; and then call on her to cultivate her more extraordinary endow ments to the glory of her Creator, the hon or of her parents, and to the maintenance of her own happiness in both worlds. To do this, requires that her aims should be virtu ous, and the means she employs to reach them, of the same nature. Dress. —When innocence left the world, astonished man blushed at his own and li s partner’s nakedness, and coverings were soon invented. For many an age the twisted fo liage of trees, nnd the skins of beasts, were the only garments which clothed our ances tors. Decoration wns unknown, excepting the wild flower, plucked from the luxuriant shrub, the shell from the beach, or the berry off the tree. Nature was then unsophistica ted ; and the lover needed no other attraction to his bride’s embrace, than the peach-bloom on her cheek, the downcast softness of her consenting eye. - In after times, when Avarice ploughed the earth and. Ambitson bestrode it, th’e gem and the silken fleece, the various product of the loom, and the Tyrian mystery of dyes, all united to give embellishment to beauty, and splendor to majesty of mien. But even at that period, when the east and south laid their decorating riches at the feet of women, we see, by the sculpture yet remaining to us, that the dames of Greece (the then exemplars of the world) were true to tho simple law of just taste. The amply’ folding robe, cast round the harmonious form ! tho modest clasp and zone on the bosom ; the braided hair, or the veiled head; these were the fashions alike of the wife of a Phocion nnd the mis. tress of an Alcibiades. A chastened taste ruled at their toilets ; and from that hour to this, the forms and modes of Greece have been those of the poet, the sculptor and the painter. Rome, the queen of the world! the proud dictatress to Athenian and Spartan dames, disdained not to array herself in their digni fied attire; and the statues of her virgins, her matrons, and her empresses, show, in ev ery portico of her ancient streets, the grace ful fashions of her Grecian province. The irruption of the Goths and Vandals made it needful for women to assume n more repulsive garb. The flowing robe, the easy snfipe, tnenson, umeuerea nalr, gave place to skirts, shortened for flight or contest—to the hardened vest, and head buckled in gold or silver. Thence, by a natural descent, havo we the iron bodice, stiff farthingale, and spiral coiffure of the middle ages. The courts of Charlemagne, of Edwards, Henries,’ and Elizabeth, all exhibit the figures of women as if in a state of siege. Such lines ol cir cumvaiiaiioii and outworks—such impregna ble bulwarks of whalebone, wood, and steel; such impassable mazes of gold, silver, silk and futhelows, met a man’s view, that, be fore lie had time to guess it was a woman that he saw, she had passed from his sight; and he only formed a vague wish on the sub ject, by hearing, from an interested father or brother, that the moving castle was one of the softer s x. When the arts of sculpture nnd painting, in their fine specimens, from the chisels of Greece and the pencils of Italy, were brought into England, taste began to mould the dress of our female youth after their more grace ful fashion. The health-destroying bodice was laid aside—brocades and whalebone dis appeared ; and the easy shape and flowing drapery again resumed the rights of nature and of Thus, for a short time, did the ’Graces in deed preside nt the toilet of British beauty. Bat a strange capric3 seems now to have dis lodged these gentle handmaids. Wc see im modesty on one side, unveiling the too redun- dant bosom ; on the other, deformity, once more drawing the steeled bodice upon the bruised ribs. Here stands affectation, distor ting the form into a thousand unnaturalshapes —and there, ill taste, loading it with grotes que ornaments, gathered (nnd mingled con fusedlj) from Grecian nnd Roman models, from Egypt, China, Turkey, and Hindostan. All nations are ransacked to equip a modern fine lady—and, after all, she may perhaps strike a cotemporary beau as a fine lady, but no son of nature could, at a glance, possibly find out that she meant to represent an ele gant woman. Deportment. —To preserve the health of the human form is the first object of considera tion. With its health, we necessarily main tain its symmetry and improve its beauty. The foundation of a just proposition in all parts must belaid in infancy. A light dress, which gives freedom to the functions of life and action, is the best adapted to permit un obstructed growth ; for thence the young fi bres, uninterrupted by obstacles of art, will shoot harmoniously into the form which na ture drew. The garb of childhood should in nil respects be easy ; not to impede its move ments by ligatures on the chest, the loins, the legs, or arms. By this liberty we shall see the muscles of the limbs gradually assume the fine swell and insertion which only un constrained exercise can produce; the shape will sway gracefully on the firmly poised waist; the chest will rise in noble and heal thy expanse ; and the .human figure will start forward at the blooming age of youth matur ing into the fujj perfection of unsophisticated nature. The lovely form of woman, thus educated, or rather, thus left to the true bias of its ori ginal mould, puts on a variety of interesting characters. In one youthful figure, we see the lineaments of a wood-nymph ; a form slight and clastic in all its parts. The shape, “small by degrees and beautifully less, from the soft bosom to the slender waist!” a foot, light ns that of her whose flying step scarce ly brushed the “ unbending corn;” nnd limbs, whose agile grace moved in gay harmony with the turns of her swan-like neck and sparkling eyes. Another fair one appears with the chasten ed dignity of a vestal. Her proportions are of a less aerial outline. As she draws near, we perceive that the contour of her figure is on a broader, a less flexible scale, than that of her more ethereal sister. Euphrosync speaks in the one, Melpomene in the other. Between these two lie the whole range of female character in form. And in propor tion as the figure approaches the one extreme or the other, we call it grave or gay, majestic or graceful. Not but that the same person may, by a happy combination of charms, unite these qualities in different degrees, ns we sometimes see graceful majesty and majes tic grace. And,certainly, without the com manding figure softens the ar plitude of its contour with a gentle elegance, it may pos sess a sort of regal consequence, but it will he that of a heavy and harsh importance. But, unless the slight and airy form, full of youth and animal spirits, s"|*erad(ls to these attractions the grace of a restraining dignity, her vivacity wiil be deemed levity, and her activity the romping of a wild hoyden. Young women must, therefore, when they present themselves to the world, not implicit, iy fashion their demeanors according to the levelling rules of the generality of school governesses; but, considering the character of their figures, allow their deportment, nnd select their dress, to follow the bias of nature. TOI ©flTOLi, “ Within thy realm no discord’s jarring sound Is heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found!” The Joys of Home. —O, what so refresh ing, so soothing, so satisfying, as the placid joys of home ! See the traveller. Does duty call him for a season to leave his beloved circle 1 The image of his earthly happiness continues viv idly in his remembrance. It quickens him to diligence; it cheers him under difficulties; it makes him hail the hour which sees his purpose accomplished, and his face turned towards home ; it communes with him as he journeys ; and he hears the promise which causes him to hope “ thou shalt know also that thy tabernicle shall be in peace ; and thou shalt visit thy habitation and not sin.” O, the joyful re-union of a divided family— the pleasures of a renewed interview and conversation after days of absence. Behold the man of science. He drops the labor and painfulr.ess of research, closes his volume, smooths his wrinkled brow, leaves his study, and, unbending himself, stoops to the capacities, yields to the wishes, and min gles with the diversions of his children. “ He will not blush tint lias n father s heart, Xft'ftkfitis ‘Me* so klvthsr 1 • That youth tukes pleasure in to please his boy.” Take the man of trade. What reconciles him to the toil of business ? What enables him to endure the fastidiousness and imper tinence of customers I What rewards him for so many hours of tedious confinement ? By and by the season of intercourse will ar rive ; he will be embossomed in the caress es of his family ; he will behold the desire of his eyes, and the children of his love, for whom he resigns his case ; and in their wel fare and smiles he will find his recompense. Yonder comes the laborer. He has borne the burden and heat of the day; the descend ing sqn has released him from his toil, and he is hastening home to enjoy repose. Half way down the lane, by the side of which stunds his cottage, his children run to meet him; one ho carries, and one he leads. The companion of his humble life is ready to furnish him with his plain repast. See, his toil-worn countenance assumes an air of cheerfulness; his hardships are forgotten ; fatigue vanishes ; he eats and is satisfied; the evening fair, he walks witli uncovered bead around his garden ; enters again and retires to rest, and, “ the rest of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much.” Inhabitant of this lonely, lovely dwelling, who can be indifferent to thy comfort!— “ Peace be to this house.” “ Let not ambition mock thy useful toil, Thy homely joys, and destiny obscure ; Nor grandeur hoar with a disdainful smile, The short and simple aiiuaU of the poor.” Sd>mU3llß IB It SOI 8 (SIBIL IL Baths. —ln advancing the highest degree of civilized refinement, which we trust the American people are fast attaining, there remains one capital defect. The luxurious indulgence of the bath in the hurry of busi ness avocation is too often overlooked. Fre quent bathings, we are told by medical men, is greatly conducive to health, and its salu brious effects on the human system will more than compensate him who indulges in it for the expense and loss of time in the opera tion. No matter what may be our avoca tions, if of a sedentary or'stirring character, a bath will fit us for doubling our energies in the pursuit alotted to us. The mental qual ities depends so much on the grosser organs, that these last should be kept in tune in or der to insure excellence of thought,or sharp ness of our wits. The importance of bathing is generally more fully appreciated in countries approach ing the equator, than in higher latitudes. In bilious countries it is of incalculable advan tage. Emigrants from a Northern to a more Southern latitude should not fail to indulge extensively in the tepid bath, taking care not to remain emersed too long so as to weaken or enervate their systems. The importance of bathing has engaged the attention of those who have been en trusted with the government of men in all ages. Oriental princes may have been os tentatious in the elegant display of highly finished baths, but they were aware of the utility of this luxurious indulgence. In the happiest periods of Grecian and Roman greatness, the leading men in public affairs sought distinction by the construction of public baths. Such benefactions, perhaps gave them more just claims to become illus trious than their military achievements and conquests. Birth. —While some people hold in ven eration exalted birth and an acquaintance from infancy with what are termed the high er and more refined ranks in society, we must confess that we have always regarded with peculiar respect and esteem those who are styled self-made men. Every well reg ulated mind will affix all due appreciation to the worth and talent which have their birth in high station, and sustain or elevate them selves in their intercourse with the world, but there isasomething peculiarly command ing and entitled to veneration in the moral and intellectual strength which, vanquishing every obstacle in the way of poverty and want of opportunity, places itself abovethose more highly favored. In looking through the histories of great men in our own and other countries, we will find a large majority of those who have filled the most prominent stations in active life, composed of men who have been the makers of their own fortunes. If we seek for the cause of such a state of things, it may perhaps be found in the stim ulus of rivalry incident to a necessity for ex ertion, and the distaste for mental or physi cal labor which usually accompanies ample enjoyment of the world’s goods. While in the one case, enterprise and assiduity better the condition at every step, and procure comparative superiority for the aspirants, in their own eyes at least, for fame ; in the oth er, the native exaltation is such as to place their possessors above these influences, and cause them to look down upon their fellow creatures. He who has to climb from the depths of the valley to the far off mountain top, acquires activity of limb and strength of muscle from his toilsome task, while the more foitunate individual, who can recline at his ease within reach of the summit, be comes enervated and unfitted for the task of arriving at it,from the very fact that his pow ers have not been braced by the toil of sur mounting the difficulties beneath him. Honesty. —What is to be prized above honesty 1 It is the clerk’s highest recom mendation, the trader’s surest guarantee of business ; the merchant’s best endorser, tlie clergyman’s most shining virtue. Come what will—hard times or good—sickness or health, life or death, his character is safe.— He courts the strictest scrutiny, and always shines the better for a good rubbing. Honesty and Justice. —He only is worthy of esteem that knows what is just and hon est, and dares do it; that is master of his own passions, and scorns to be a slave to another’s. Such a one> the lowest pover ty, is a far better man, and merits more res pect, than those gay things who owe all their greatness and reputation to their rentals and revenues.— Dr. Fuller. Cunning and Vanity. —Cunning is a sub stitute for wisdom, adopted by the weak of intellect, as vanity is for pride. Imagination. —The heart is often made answerable for the follies of the imagination.

To destroy ticks on Sheep. —Take Scotch snuff, open the wool on the back of the sheep from head to tail, dust in a small quantity, so as barely to color the felt—do the same on tho belly—pursue the same process by making a ring around the neck near the head, and another near the shoultles, and a fourth around the body near the flank of the sheep. The odor of the snuff will diffuse itself through the whole fleece in such a manner as to destroy the ticks in the course of two or three days, and will not itijuvetlie sheep or the wool. In order to apply a suit able quantity and no more of the snuff, pro cure a tin pepper box, and have the cap like a tunnel with five or six small holts at the small end of the cover—fill with Si uff, then use it in the patted wool as you i ould the pepper box, if ihe old sheep was ci iked for dinner. I can say from experie ce, this, process will not fail of the desired fleet. Cement for porcelain, glass and stone. — This cement is a natural produt, which without being abundant, is in suffici it quan tities for ordinary purposes. T e large Snails which are found iti gardens at woods, and which sometimes have been ised for food, have a vesicle, at the extre ities of their bodies, which contains a whitish sub stance, having a greasy and gelatinous ap pearance. If it is applied between two surfaces, whatever be their hardness and com pactness, and the surfaces be brought to gether throughout, so strong an adhesion is ultimately formed, that if violent means be resorted to, they frequently break elsewhere, than at the juncture. A flint about the size of a peach, having been broken in two pieces and joined by this cement, being thrown with violence on the pavement,broke into fragments, by fractures, crossing the first one, but not along with it. All that is necessary, in order to give the cement its full power, is to allow it time to dry. To jrrescrve potatoes in a dried state. — Wash them, cut them in pieces, steep them 4S hours, in fresh water, and dry them in an oven. One hundred parts of fresh potatoes, will give thirty so prepared and dried. In this state they can be kept for years, or ground into flour, which mixed with one third rye, makes excellent bread. To kill skippers in cheese. —The juice of elder leaves will kill skippers in clieeso, ba con, &c., and strong decoctions of the leaves or root, are fatal to insects, which depredate on plants in the garden. From the South-Western Farmer. FEEDING ON COTTON SEED. Near Clinton, April 28/A, 1842. In your valuable number of the Bth inst., I read some suggestions from a correspon dent and from yourselves, in relation to feeding on cotton seed; and as neither of you have mentioned the plan, upon which I think they can be most usefully prepared, I will give the result of my experience and my plan to the public. I have a large kettle, which holds from & to 6 bushels, set upon a brick furnace, (which is less than one day’s work for a mason to make.) I fill my kettle with water, and boil something less than half an hour. Then empty the seed into troughs, and let my cat tle and hogs go to them. The milk and butter has. none of that cotton seed taste, which the green or uncooked seed give.— Both cattle and hogs will keep in good or der, winter and summer, on seed thus pre pared ; and when you are ready to fatten pork, you have only to add an equal quanti ty of cotton seed and corn, and boil as above. Experience has proved to me that it will fatten sooner, and be equally good as when fattened on corn alone. Your cows will give an abundance of milk all winter, when fed in this manner, with but one bushel of corn to four of cotton seed. Everyone is aware of the advantage of boiling turnips, turnip greens and cabbage for the human stomach. The boiling of cotton-seed is not less advantageous as food for stock. Be sides, there is great economy in feeding seed thus prepared. By the usual method in feeding, there is more than double the quantity of seed wasted than are consumed by the stock. So far as 1 have beard, every person who has ever tried this plan, has been well pleas ed with it. Very respectfully, D. O. WILLIAMS. From the Central New York Farmer. Culture of the Strawberry. —After so much has been said and done to induce farmers to devote a small portion of their land and labor to the purposes of horticulture, it is aston ishing they should be willing to deny their families the luxuries which a garden and fruit-yard furnish, —and be content to set down to a meal of “pot-luck,” at least three bundled and sixty-five times in the year. If a farmer would be a “good liver,” his farm and garden must furnish bis wife with the “wherewith,” or he must not complain if she sets a poor dinner before him. If he loves cherry puddings, he must set out cher ry trees befote finding fault with his wife for not making them. If he is fond of quince, currant or goose berry preserves, his wife will be delighted to put them on the table; but it is to be hoped he will be good natured, if she does not—if there is nothing but pig weeds and potato tops in the garden from which she can gather them. Among the numerous kinds of fruits which are indispen sable to good living, is the strawberry. Be sides being'a most delicious desert fruit, it is considered by medical men, a valuable medicine in several diseases; particularly putrid fevers and pulmonary consumptions. A free use of strawberries it is said, will both prevent and cure the rheumatism.— Every farmer’s wife ought to consider her dinner table incompletely furnished, for at least four weeks in the heat of the summer, unless it has upon it a dish of strawberries and cream. She ought also to consider her tea table deficient, unless strawberry jam is among her preserves and sweetmeats—and who does not love now and then a bowl of strawberries and milk. 1 But while we insist that every tarmo.’. , a , table with delicious fruit, we would not compel her daughters “to go a straw berry ing” in the old fashioned way their grand mothers did; even were they so extrava gantly fond of strawberries as to ramble about the fields with their sun bonnets on their bead and baskets in their hands after them. If farmers would have strawberries, they must devote a small portion of their garden to the cultivation of them. There are several varieties of excellent flavor, and by a proper selection and a little labor a full supply may he had through theseason. The ordinary method of cultivation is to prepare the ground by manuring and spading, and transplant in August. The distance between the rows should be about eighteen or twen ty inches, and betwixt the plants, from ten to fifteen inches, according to the varieties. The runners the first year are cut off, just before they take root. The second year the runners are permitted to take their course, filling up the spaces between the plants, and producing ordinarily a good crop of large sized strawberries. Some lay down straw or grass for the runners to run upon. The utility of this is manifest in many respects, but especially in keeping the fruitfrom com ing in contact with the earth, by which it would be injured by the dirt. After the fruit is gathered, the straw should be removed and the plants cleared of weeds. They should be transplanted every second year. L. Ellisburgh, New York, May 13th, 1842. Alfred A.

THE 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 Three Hills Farm, near Al bany, three sows ; and trom Messrs. A. & G. Brentnnll, of Canterbury, New-York, three sows—together with some ol my own raising, the produce of some of the above named sows. 1 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 iMPoRTEn 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. Bentent, was pronounced by that gentleman superior in point of form to his celebrated boar “Rip Von 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 by Marquis, I shall have to dis pose of this fall. I have one pair of White Hogs, a large English breed, imported direct frooi England, and landed in Savannah in June Inst; and also a very su perior Berkshire sow, imported direct, who wiil 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 ftortrait of Rip Van Winkle, in which he says : “lsent nst year to Mr. John Bonnet, of White Plains, Georgia, several breeding sows, and no one, 1 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 ol 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, 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 original stock imported from England, will be 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. 1 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, 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, and will receive this fall, from Mr. A. B. Allen, ol Buffalo, New-York, a very superi or young hoar, the produce of his best importation of last fall; so that I shall constantly have n cross from the best nnd most celebrated boars, both of this coun try and England. Persons wishing to procure the gen ceive those that are not only lull blooded, but pure as imported. 1 Ireely challenge a comparison of my s-ock with that of any other breeder of Berkshjres in Geor gia, and am confident that they will prove themselves equal, if not superior, to any in the State. At any rale 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 surpas sed,nnd if Ido 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 he pleased to furnish pigs to any who may fuvor me with their orders. My price for pigs is invariably Twenty Dollars per pair; no pigs heing 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.
