TOiE ©m©LE, “Within thy realm no discord’s jarring sound Is heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found 1” The unreasonableness of spiritual sloth. — Rouse thyself, O my soul, from thy spiritual lethargy ! Remember, ‘at every moment un numbered beings take their flight into eter nity. The infinite energy of the Eternal Mind is awake to all the events of his utti verse, and governing them all. The praises and melodies of heaven are unsuspended. The ever-prevailing Mediator continually in tercedes. The day of thy summons into an unknown world, swiftly approaches by the unceasing hand of time; and every little sec tion of the dial or the watch, which the shadow or the index traverses, is a portion of thy unintermitted progress towards the home of spirits. “ Behold, the Judge stand eth before the door!” It will be but a tran sient succession, a swift continuation of hours and minutes; and thou shalt have to look back upon the consummation of terrestial things, upon the awful disclosures and deci sions of the great retributive day, upon the moment when thy own character, as viewed by the Searcher of hearts, stood first reveal ed, and with it thy allotment in anew un tried existence. Andnow, while those scenes arc yet future, every action, every temper, every purpose and bias of the mind is to be regarded as sowing for an eternal harvest. The influences of heaven, even of the Al mighty, and all-Holy Spirit, are offered to him that implores them ; and able to produce in the soul “ fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.” A celestial and endless blessedness is set before thy faith, with eve ry solemn promise, and mighty work of Christ to guarantee its reality; and he who is gone to ‘‘prepare a place” for his follow ers, has engaged to come again, and re ceive them to himself. Impropriety of severe exertion immediately previous to or after meals. —The practical rule of avoiding serious exertion immediately af ter eating, has long been acted upon in our treatment of the lower animals; and no one who sets any value on the lives of his horses or dogs, ever allows it to be disregarded with respect to them. And yet the same man who would, unhesitatingly, dismiss his groom for feeding his horse immediately af ter a chace or a gallop home, would proba bly think nothing of walking into the house and ordering dinner to be instantly served for himself in similar circumstances. In the army, the difficulty of managing recruits on a march, in this respect, has often been re marked. Fatigued withtheday’s exertions, they can scarcely refrain from food so long as to allow its being properly cooked. They consequently labor under the double disad vantage of eating before the system is in a sufficient state of repose to benefit from the supply, and of having the food in a condi tion unfit for easy digestion. The old cam paigner, instructed by experience, restrains his appetite, kindles his fire, cooks bis victu als, makes his arrangements for the night, with a deliberation surprising to the recruit; and he is amply repaid for his tempoiary self-denial by the greater enjoyment and support which he derives from the very same materials which the impatience of the other has caused him in a great measure to waste. — Combe's Phisology of Digestion. Thoughts for those who think. —The des tinies of a nation depend less on the great ness of the few, than the virtues or vices of the many. Eminent individuals cast further the features of her glory or shame ; but the realities of her weal or wo lie deep in the great mass. The curling tops of lofty waves are the crest of the ocean, but from its depths flows the overpowering strength of its tides. A lady of fashion will sooner excuse a freedom, flowing from admiration, than a slight, resulting from indifference. The first offence has the pleasing apology of her at tractions; the last is bold, and without an alleviation. But the mode in which she dis poses of the two only shows that her love of admiration is stronger than her sense of pro priety. He who maintains the right, though coun tenanced by the few, must forego all excep tions of popularity till there shall be less to censure than applaud in human conduct; and, when this is the case, the millenium will have dawned. A giant mind may be held in suspense, but that suspense must be brief, and the ac tion which follows it will be more decided and energetic in consequence of that deten tion; just as a stream rushes with greater force for a temporary obstruction. A man of a weak, complying disposition, whom no one fears, no one will be at the trouble to oppose; while a man of strong and fixed character will be liable to opposi tion, at least from those who expect to de rive a certain kind of importance from the dignity of their adversary. But he will com £el eveu this opposition into subserviency to imself; just as the mariner obliges the wind that opposes him to help him forward. The three, or rather four most helpless things in the world are: a ship in a dead calm, a whale thoroughly stranded, a race horse with his wind broken, and a politician in bad odor. Lucifer himself would have nothing to do with either, unless it were the last. He seldom utterly forsakes a political game-cock: But keeps him at the battle, or tho drill, To work his master further mischief sull. The influence of the good man ceases not at death; be, as the visible agent, is remov ed, but the light aud influence of his exam ple still remain; and the moral elements of this world will long show the traces of their vigor and purity; just as the western sky, after the sun has set, still betrays the glow ing traces of the departed orb.— Rev. IF. Colton, U. S. N. He who thinks no man above him but for his virtue, none below him but for his vice, can never be obsequious or assuming in the wrong place, but will frequently emulate men in stations below him, and pity those nominally over his head. Many of the empty pots of an apotheca ry’s shop are as gaudily decorated and neatly marked as those that are full, and the bot tles that make the greatest show in the street are filled with a colored useless fluid. Thoughts on Matrimony. —Great dispari ty in matrimony is an evil in many particu lars; and what is more unnatural than to see a young miss wedded to a man old enough to be her father 1 He ought to have sense enough to know, that unless she is an ec centric character, she never married him for love; and she ought also to know, that in consenting to marry him, she in all proba bility consented to make herself a wretched slave—to put herself in the power of a man who had already expended his first & warm est love upon others; and who, by his su perior age, his matured habits of pleasing himself and of having his own way, and the self-importance which property gives, was well qualified to act the part of the tyrant, rather than that of the husband. If a young man has property, he may of course many at a suitable age, and adopt the style of living which is justified by his means. But if he is destitute of property, he has three alternatives, and he can take his choice be tween them. Selecting a prudent and in dustrious person for his wife, he may many young and live in the style of simplicity adapted to his income; or he can wait till he has acquired a property, so as to be able to support a family in the more modem and fashionable style; ol he can marry at any rate, launch fearlessly out into all the expen ses of a fashionable establishment, and run his chance of bringing his wife and children to want. The first is the best, the second is next, the third is too bad to be thought on.— Winslow. Opposite Characters. —Mole-catchers are a singular class of men—what one would call characters —with a considerable share of low wit, and a sly, cunning look, slow and deliberate in all their movements and parts of speech. They are silent and stealthy in their walk, as if the very- success of their operations depended on their not giving the alarm to the little animal they wanted to en trap. I also observe that they are much bent, from the constant habit they have of stooping to look for the runs of the mole. They are, however, possessed of much acute ness, and by means of a small fee, are gene rally tolerably communicative. Therat-catch er is a very different kind of person. There is frequently an impudent, saucy look about him, which seems to partake of the charac ter of the animal he destroys. His very dogs are afraid of him, and they appear sulky and half-starved. His conversation is gene rally in praise of his dogs and ferrets, and the number of rats he has destroyed with them. He is a great frequenter of the ale house, and conveys all the scandal from one village to another in the progress of his call ing. My friends, the mole-catchers, on the contrary, area sober and quiet race of men, fond of accumulating money, and are sel dom to be met with in an alehouse. Their cottages arc generally neat and clean, and the implements of their calling tidily bestow ed iri them—such as two or three spades, a bundle of tough hazels, and some wooden traps —and in an evening may frequently be seen twisting their horse-hair nooses, or cut ting a hazel stick to its proper length. Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion; and he whose real wants are sup plied must admit of fancy. wwwwHßWßw ‘mm mmammmmmmmmammmmmrnm ®D©®RAIPInIII(SAIL O LAFAYETTE. BY HILLHOUSE. But how came Gilbert Mortier Lafayette instructed in the Freeman’s creed 1 ? His young heart was not moulded at the firesides of New England: he was not born in that old Bay State, so fatal, by day and by night, to all presumption; the untamed blood of Pocahontas mingled not in his veins: mater nal lips never touched his sympathies by re citals of the hopes, fears, faith, and constancy of the little band who gazed from the deck of the Mayflower at the receding shores of England, and, afterward, with no stay but God, stepped from the winter sea upon the inhospitible rock of Plymouth: the pains of non-conformity had never driven him or his fathers to scrutinize the foundation of au thority : he did not learn the doctrine of Equal Rights in the Text Book of the Pil grims. When the future Patriots of the Revolution were following their fathers to the harvest field, young Lafayette was sur rounded with attendance and observance as the precious orphan of a noble house in an old ceremonious monarcy. While they were learning at the school house, and meeting house, the duties of Freemen, and Puritans, he was acquiring the accomplishments of a preux chevalier at the college of Louis le Grand, or was imbibing in French palaces devotion to beauty and royalty, as the page of Marie Antionette. Connected, by historic recollections, with all the haughty assumption of the feudalday, every illusion of transmitted glory and aris tocratic pride, seemed to conspire with a generous and fearless spirit, to develope in him the character of a gallant French No bleman. Married at seventeen to an heiress of the illustrious and powerful house of Noailles, and raised ere nineteen, to the rank of a commissioned officer, he seemed in the very morning of life to possess all that nature and fortune can bestow. Perso nal distinction alone was wanting; and the path of honor lay open before him, attended with no other difficulties than those which make it honorable. Surrounded with objects, opinions and observances, calculated to dazzle and de ceive, with every feudal and French preju dice bound thick upon his eyes, by what ex ternal illumination, or external impulse, did his youthful mind discover the bearings of human rights ? What causes called into fife, and nourished the embryo of those princi ples, which at last found vent in the surpri sing act of devoting himself to tho achieve ment of American Independence ? These questions we cannot answer; for his imita tion in the faith seems as independent of the instructions of those who were his elders, and subsequently, his brethren, as that of Paul himself, who tells us that he ‘conferred not with flesh and blood.’ Suddenly; among the anxious proscribed Patriots, who had commenced the great la bor of establishing human liberty, appears from another hemisphere, o youthful and acd m n Hi it noble stranger —not a pupil, but an equal— ardent as themselves—qear-sighted—well instructed—resolved to Itazard all in their despised and doubtful cause ! That resolu tion—if he bad perished on the sea—if he had fallen by the first shot—ought to have made his name sweet in every Freeman’s mouth, while Freedom shall endure. But it was not suffered to be unfruitful. Its consequences, as developed in our his tory, are great —to France they have been momentous —and they promise to be active, and, we fear, needful, for centuries to come. For after all that has been done to diffuse the light of free institutions, the darkness of middle night hangs over much of Europe. Watchful eyes see indeed from the Rhine toward the Cimmerian borders, hill-top after hill-top greyly emerge, and slowly redden —and they cling to hope; and wisely, for the seeds of constitutional liberty are, in fact, beneath the soil of many a spot, on whose surface no promise yet appears. The American traveller finds the German, yea, the Prussian—though haughty and reserved while mistaking him for a Briton—if made aware of bis error, start into cordiality. Frankness and pleasure beam from his eye —his sympathies quicken—his questions be come manifold; and at patting, he asks the honor to grasp a freeman’s hand. This is no fiction. Few are aware liow hallowed, and how’deep, are their feelings, who wor ship Liberty as a mistress they may never possess. When such is the feeling of the people, and with such examples to encour age, as now’ exist, Despotism cannot sit like the Ancient of Days. But years must roll on—other battles must be fought—other patriots cloven down—Poland rise, perhaps, and sink again—ere that senate house is built in Warsaw, under whose sacred por ticoes the freemen of distant nations will delight to meet. Among all who have labored in the great cause of man, none has acted a more benev olent, consistent and illustrious part, than he who left a brilliant destiny in Europe to espouse the wrongs of these States. It is impossible to do justice to his actions and principles in a brief essay, for the first are connected with the protracted changes of a memorable age; and the latter lie at the root of all just government. This is the less to be regretted, as much of his life is a familiar story, and as his principles are iden tical with our own political faith. As if ev ery thing conspired to prove his sincere con victions, and his noble disinterestedness, the moment of his embracing our cause was one of overwhelming gloom. So discouraging did our prospects seem—Washington being then on his retreat through Jersey, with a handful of defeated followers—that the A merican Commissioners deemed themselves bound in conscience and honor to dissuade a highly connected youth from so unprom ising an enterprise. Ilis answer to their candid remonstrance embodies the spirit of his whole life. “Hitherto,” said young La fayette, “1 have done no more than to wish success to your cause. I now go to serve it. The more it has fallen in public opinion the greater will be the effect,of my departure. Siuce you cannot procure a vessel, I will purchase and fit one out on my own expense ; and I will also undertake to transmit your despatches to Congress.” He purchased a vessel, eluded his pursuers, embarked, and made a successful winter passage over seas beset by British cruisers. He presented the despatchesof our Commissioners to the American Congress, and, with them—made an offer of himself. Here, my countrymen, let uspause. Point me, if you are aide, to a parallel; for my own recollection does not supply it. He was no needy adventurer pushing his for tunes in the new world ; no disgraced pro fligate seeking to cover* his branded front with a military chaplet; no reckless misan thrope embittered by disappointment till perils had become grateful; he was no fid lower of vulgar glory, no lover of the trade of murder. Adorned with talents and vir tue, possessor of a princely revenue, bask ing in the royal favor, blessed with connu bial happiness—with hopes thick clustering round his noble head, “as blossoms on a bough in May”—he forsook all, came to us from beyond the ocean, asked leave to pay liis own expenses, and fight, as a volunteer, in our naked and barefoot regiments! YUE IF AUMIE 03 = “ A bold peasantry, their country’s pride When once destroy’d can never be supplied.” From the Central New York Farmer. Cheese. —Mr. Stephen Scott of Lee, whose reputation as a dairyman is not surpassed by any farmer in this vicinity, has furnished us with the following account of his method of Cheese making “ The night’s milk should be skimmed in the morning, the cream put in a kettle and warmed until it becomes thin, then fill the kettle with milk and heat all together; add the morning’s milk. The’ rennet should now be put in, in sufficient quantity to cause the milk to coaerulate in from half to three quarters of an hour, then break it up carefully with the hands. When settled, dipoff the whey and heat a sufficient quantity to scald the curd. If the weather is cool it will need more scalding than in warm weather; keep it well stirred up when scalding, as that the whole may be scalded alike: dip into a sink to cool, and salt, so that it will taste seasoned, press lorty eight hours; turn and rub and grease every day, while young put on as little grease as pos sible.” Cheeses which arc large, should be ban daged with thin sheeting to prevent their spreading. Much of the Cheese made in this country is good, but many dairies are of inferiorquality. We think many cheese makers commit an error in making cheese too late in tho season, in which case it is not properly cured before sending to mar ket, and consequently nearly worthless. In all the operations of the dairy, it is very essential (hat the vessels used, be pro perly scalded so as to be kept perfectly sweet and pure; for without this precaution it is impossible to made good butter or cheese, llie time has gone by when one hundred pounds of butter or two hundred pounds of cheese was considered a fair yield from a cow in a season. AVith a good se lection of cows and good management, from one hundred and fifty to two hundred pounds of butter, or four to five hundred lbs. of cheese may be made in a season from each cow. This has been done, and what has once been done can be done again, and there is no part of the country more favorable for the production of butter and cheese than the central and northern counties in this State. Make the most of every thing, is a max im that must never be overlooked by the farmer who would make money by his pro fession. There should be economy in de pasturing as well as stall feeding cows. Are your cows permitted to roam at pleasure, over several pastures the same day or week 1 If so, your system should be changed im mediately. Close up the sepasate lot, put your cows into one, and then into another, and so on. Thus you can obtain a greater quantity of feed, keep more cows in the same pastures, and compel them to make clean work as they go, eating not only the less sweet and more prolific grasses of runs and low places, but essentially checking growth of brush.—Bos ton Cultivator. It makes the work easier. —Muck or Peat when fresh dug from the bog is wet and heavy. Good farmers who use muck of this material for compost, where their bogs are at a distance from their yards or fields where they intend to use it, thrqw out their peat at leisure intervals and in dull weather in July and August, in high nanowbanks, and leave it to drain and dry. * Thus double the quantity may be hauled at a load with the same team, and the ob jection on account of its distance from the farm yard, be materially obviated. Peat muck thrown up loosely, will shrink about 50 per cent. This will obviate the difficulty arising from bad hilly lanes or roads.—Bos ton Cultivator. Agriculture directly or indirectly, pays the burdens of our taxes and our toils —which support the government, and sustain our in ternal improvements; and the more abun dant her means, the greater will be her con tributions. The farmer who manages his bnsiness ignorantly and slotlifully, and who produces from it only just enough for the subsistence of his family, pays no tolls on the transit of his produce, and but a small tax upon the nominal value of his lauds. In struct his mind, and awaken him to industry, by the hope of distinction and reward, so that he triples the product of his labor, the value of his lands is increased in a correspon ding ratio, his comforts are multiplied, his mind disenthralled, and two-thirds of his pro ducts go to augment the business and tolls of our canals and road. If such a change in the situation of one farm, would add one hundred dollars to the wealth, and one dol lar to the tolls of the state, what an as tonishing aggregate would be produced, both in capital and in reveniJe, by a similar im provement upon 250,000 farms, the assumed number in New York. The capital would be augmented 25 millions, and the revenue two hundred and fifty thousand dollars per annum. [ Buel. To cure the Heaves in Horses. —Take good ginger—two table spoonfuls, put it in a wash of scalded wheat bran, and feed with the same twice a day till the cure is effected, which, in nine cases in ten, will take place in about 15 days. Bleeding and a nitrous solution, (half an ounce to a drench) will accelerate the cure. Spanish Receipt to keep Porkfresh all the Year. —First take out all the bones, then rub the pork all over with Spanish brown, and pack with a covering on each piece of pork with Spanish brown in carpet bags— and when wanted for cooking, it must be washed off in waim water, and it appears perfectly sweet and fresh. You may try it, as I have, and you will find it true. Kicking Cows. —A writer in the Farmer’s Cabinet, upon dairy cows, says: “ I have found a cure for this kicking dis order, in its most desperate state. It is merely to place the patient in a stall with a beam over head, and fixing a running noose over her horns, throw the end of the rope over the beam and pull away, so as to raise her head pretty high in the air, but not so as to lift her legs from the ground : in this position she will not only be disabled from kicking, but will give down her milk without the least hesitation.” Garget. —Cows have been cured of the Garget in our neighborhood, by giving them a few doses of saltpetre, of a great spoonful each, pounded fine, mixed with meal and given to them once a day. This is preferred here to the Garget root. — Boston Cultivator. Cure for worms in children. —A writer in the Farmer’s Register, who being a slave holder has a large family under his care, says, that for nearly 30 years he has found the following preparation a certain cure for worms. “ Take the fat of old bacon, sliced and fried in a pan until the essence is all out of it, take out the rind first then put in as much worm seed (vulgarly called Jerusalem Oak,) as is necessary, as much sugar or mo lasses as will make it palatable, and give it three mornings in succession. The children will eat it freely—some you will have to re strain from eating too much. Incredible as it may appear. I have known as many as one hundred and thirty large worms come from a child three or four years old. I usu ally give the medicine spring and fall.” RELIEF OF CHOKED CATTLE. Messrs. Gaylord Sf Tucker. —As I was Fersuing the January No. of the Cultivator, noticed that your corsespondent J. V. re commended a hickory ramrod (or piston,) to relieve choked cattle. I have known cat tle killed by the use of such an instrument, it bursting or breaking the pipe. The best method and easiest, is to take a lump of lard (cold,) about the size of a hen’s egg, and a spoonful of powder mixed with it, and haul out the tongue and throw it into tho throat; let the tongue go back, and they are relieved in one minute.

Madison, (near the Georgia Rail-Road Depot, June 4,1842. 10 Berkshire Hogs. rPHE subscriber having been for some time engaged A in raising Berkshire stock, would inform those who feel desirous of improving their Hogs, that lie has now on hand eight or ten SUPERIOR SOWS, selected from the stock of the best breeders at the North, viz : Front Mr. Lossing, of Albany, Ncw-York, one sow ; from Mr. C. N. Berncnt, of Three Hills Farm, near Al bany, three sows ; and from Messrs. A. & G. Brentnall, 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 arc 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 Newbnrg, who are 100 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 Van Winkle,” (his half-brother,) who received the first prize at the Fair of the New-York State Agricultural Society, held at Syracuse in September last; I have also a full blooded China sow, purchased from Mr. Be ment, whose produce by Marquis, I shall have to dis pose of this full. I have one pair of White Hogs, a large English breed, imported direct front 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 Rui Van Winkle,in which he says : “Isent last year to Mr. John Bonnet, of White Plains, Georgia, several breeding sows, and no one, I assure you, has been more rigidor particular to procure the pure blood, and the best animals too. Applicants for pigs, in that section, may depend on procuring from hint the real ‘ simeon pures.’ ” I deem it but justice to myself to state, that at the Fair of the “ Planter’s Club,” of Han cock County, held at Sparta, on the 6ih of December Inst, the only prize awarded for a hoar, was given to “ Black John,” n pig four months and twelve days old, and weighing IC6 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 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. I have contracted for, and will receive this full, from Mr. A. B. Allen, of Buffalo, New-York, a very superi or young boar, the produce of his best importation of last fall; so thut I shall constantly have n cross from the best and most celebrated boars, both of this coun try and England. Persons wishing to procure the gen uine 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. 1 freely challenge a comparison of my s'oek with that of any other breeder of Berkshires in Geor gia, and am confident that they will prove themselves equal, if not superior, to any in the State. At any rate I am perfectly willing that the character of my stock should be either raised or sunk by the event of such a comparison. Os this fact, however, the put,lie may rest assured, that I am determined not to be surf as 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 pig 9is 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 lipuse will be steely 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 fiONNER. P. 8.
