Domestic Duties. —So entirely do human
actions derive their dignity or their menn
tiess from the motives hy which tliey are
prompted, that it is no violation of truth to
Bay, the most servile drudgery may ho en
nobled bv the self-sacrifice, the patience,
the cheerful submission to duty, with which
it is performed. Thus a high-minded and
intellectual woman isnever moretruly great,
than when willingly and judicious'y | e form
ing kind offices lor the sick; and much as
may he said, and justly, in praise of the pub
lic virtues of women, the voice of nature is
eo powerful in every human heart, that,
could the question of superiority on these
two points he universally pioposed, a res
ponse would be heard throughout the world,
in favor of woman in her private and do
mestic character.
Nor would the higher and more expan
sive powers of usefulness with which wo
men are endowed, suffer from want of ex
ercise, did they devote themselves assidu
ously to their domestic duties. lam rather
inclined to think they would receive addi
tional vigoi from the healthy tone of their
own minds, and the leisure and liberty af
forded hy the systematic regularity of their
household affairs. Time would never hang
heavily on their hands, hut each moment ,
being husbanded with care, and every agent j
acting under their influence being properly
chosen and instructed, they would find am
ple opportunity to go forth on errands of
mercy, sure that in their absence the ma
chinery they had set in motion would still
continue to work, and work well.
But if. on the other hand, all was confo
6ion and -neglect at home—filial appeals un
answered—domestic comfojts uncalculated
—husbands, sons and brothers referred to 1
servants for all the little offices of social j
kindness hi order that the ladies of the fern- ]
ily may harry away at the appointed time to I
some committee-ioom, scientific lecture, or j
public assembly; however laudable the ob
ject for which they met. there would be suf
ficient cause why their cheeks should he
mantled with the blush of burning shame,
when they heard the women of England
and their virtues spoken ol in that high tone
of approbalion and applause, which those
who aspire only to be about their master’s
business will feel little pleasure in listening
to, and which those whose charity has not
begun at home, ought never to appropriate
to themselves.— Mrs. Ellis’ lVi/menof Eng
land.
Advice, to Married W omen. —A decent
country woman came one market day, anil
begged to speak with me. She told me,
with an air of secrecy, that her husband be
haved unkindly to her, and sought the com
pany of other women; and that knowing
me to be a wise man, I could tell what
would cure him. Thecure was so common,
I thought to prescribe for it without losing
ray reputation as a conjurer, “Tliereme
dv is simple,” spid I. “Always treat your
husband with a smile,” The woman thank
ed me, dropped a courtesy and went away.
A few months after, she came again, bring
ings couple of fine fowls. She told me witli
great'Satisfaction, that 1 had cured Her litis
band; and begged my acceptance of the
fowls in return. I was pleased with the
success of my prescription but refused the
fee.
Mutual Lora. —Surely there is nothing in
nature so lovely as the union of two fond de
voted hearts The picture is one equally of
moral and physical beauty. The slight, fra
gile, depending damsel hanging in perfect
confidence on the arm of the manly, lofty
and exulting youth—locking up into his eyes
in hope, while he returns the gaze with pride
and fondness. Unconscious of all tilings
hut the love which to them is life and all
things beside, they move along the covered
way and know not its solicitude—they lin
ger and loiter along the protracted paths,
and see not their length—they clingtogcther
through the lengthened hours, and fancy
that they have lost no time—tliey hear each
other’s voices, and believe that life is all
music and delight.
The Young Lady who Flirts. —While we
confess a predilection for the “young lady
who flirts,” we feel hound to give a word of
advice upon the subject to all whom it may
concern. There is a chance that the habit
may become a confirmed one, and the natu
ral and-joyous girl grow up into the unnatu
ral and hateful coquette; that, the freshness
of the heart myy be dimmed or worn away
in its mimic triumphs—for it’s a precious
gem, and will not hear much handling. The
world —which we dare not defy if we would
he jiappy—may misjudge us, and so preju
dice, perhaps, the only one whose good
opinion, we may really wish to retain. It
breeds ill will too among our female friends,
and robs us of many of our first companions,
fox. girls can forgive any thing but this. And
the .men, as we have seen, while we minis
ter to their vanity and amusement, think
lightly of us for so doing, and say to them
selves, even while they lure us on by their
whispered praise and.adulation, “I would
not many that girl for the world.”— The
Belle Assemblee.
Ladies rn the choice of husbands, should
look to future as well as to present happi
ness. It is not the handsomest nor the richest
partner that makes life sweetest; it is the
congeniality of tastes and feeling, and,a re
ciprocity of love. An honest heart and a
good head are more to be desired than the
proudest title and richestheiress, for a happy
old age.
Lady Coventry, the celebrated beauty,
killed herself with painting. She daubed
lierself with it so as to stopthe perspiration.
Lady Mary Worthely Montague was more
prudent—she went often into the hot bath,
to scrape off the paint, which was almost as
thick as plaster on a wall.
Love.—A young srirl. scarcely yet awake
to the mysteries ‘of her nature, and flutter
ing over the first demonstrations of’ love, is

of the sea, when a high tide is about com

Andrcic Jackson. —Andrew Jackson was
born on the 15th March. 1767, at Waxsaw,
South Carolina, a Small settlement whither
his family had emigrated two years previous.
Though too young to take an active part in
the revolutionary struggle, lie had all the
courage and spirit of a true patriot, with the
enthusiasm of youth. In 1754, having ac
quired a good English education, he com
menced the study of law ir. Salisbury, N. C.
was admitted to practice in 1786, and re
moved to Nashville in 178S. Professional
success immediately attended him. Hesoon
received the appointment of Attorney Gen
eral of the district. In 1796, he became a
member of the Tennessee Convention to
forma constitution forthestate. Inthesame
year he was elected to the national Senate.
He took his seat in tlilft body, but resigned
at the close of the session, alledging his dis
taste for the turmoils of politics. He was
appointed Major General of the Tennessee
militia, which office lie retained until ap
pointed tothc same rank itilhe United Stales
Army by President Madison in 1811. After
retiring from the Senate, he was for a short
period one of the Judges of the Supreme
Court of Tennessee. •When war was de
clared in 1812, lie was on his plantation uj>-
on the Cumberland, near, Nashville. lie
! headed 2500 volunteers for the defence of
the lower states, and proceeded as fer down
as Natchez. He led the Tennessee militia
against the Creeks in the furious battle of
Talladega, ami aftervarious encounters, suc
ceeded with his brave comrades in annihila
ting the power of the savage Creeks. The
bravery and skill of General Jackson attract
ed the notice of the General Government,
and he was appointed a Major General in
M ay, ISI4. His brilliant career in the ser
; vice of the country from this period until the
! victory of New Orleans and the close of the
| war, is familiar to every one. lie retired
on the conclusion of peace to his farm in
Tennessee. In 1827, the Scminoles on the
Spanish frontier committing depredations
upon ourcitizens, he took the field again,
and pursued these murderous hordes into
their retreats, and destroyed large numbers
of them. When the Floridas were ceded
to the United States, General Jackson was
apjiointed Governor of the territory. Hav
ing organized the government, he resigned
the office, and retired to his plantation In
1823, he was chosen to the Senate, butsoon
after, having consented to become a candi
date for the Presidency, he resigned his
seat in that body. The electoral colleges
gave him a plurality of votes, hut there was
no choice by the people, and the House of
Representatives elected Mr. Adams.. In
1529, being again a candidate be was elec
ted. He was re-elected in IS32 r .and was
eight j •ears in office. He still lives upon his
plantation at the Hermitage.
The eight years administration of Gene
ral Jackson will form on epoch in our histo
ry, consniruous for the changes made in the
policy of the government; the gradual break
ing down of the Tariff f?ystcrn, and the ar
restof Internal 1 inpmvements by the nation.
The antagonist position of the National
Bank, the filial overthrow of that institution
by a stretch of Presidential power, which
although questionable in its nature, was
sanctioned by the popular voice—the revul
sion intrude aud commerce—all will be re
membered for years to come, doubtless to
form the subject of angry discussions by the
different parties- into which the country is
divided . —ll ural Repository.
Joel Barlow. —An American poet and di
plomatist, was Lorn at Reading, in Connec
ticut, about the year 1755, His father died
while he was yet a lad at school, and left
him little more than sufficient to defray the
expenses of a liberal education. He was
first placed at Dartmouth College, Nevv-
Hampshire, then in its infancy, and after a
very short residence there removed to Yale
College, New Haven, From this institu
tion lie received a degree in 1775, when he
first came before the public in his poetical
character, by reciting unoriginal poem which
yvas soon after published. On leaving Col
lege he was successively a chaplain in the
revolutionary army, an editor, a bookseller,
a lawyer and a merchant. Honest visited
England, and published in London the first
part of “Advice to the privileged Orders;”
and in the succeeding year a poem called
“The Conspiracy of Kings.” In the latter
part of 1792, he was appointed one of the
depntiesfiom London Constitutional Society
to present an address to the Con
vention of Fra nee. Information of the no
tice which the British government had taken
of this mission, led him to think that it would
he unsafe for him to return to England, and
he continued to reside in Paris for about
three years. It was about this time that he
Wmposed his most popular poem, entitled
“Hasty Pudding.” He was subsequently
appointed Consul for the United Stab's at
Algiers, with power to negotiate a peace
with the Dey, andto redeem all American
citizens held in slavery on the coast of Bar
bary. After discharging these duties he re
turned to Paris, and again engagingin trade,
amasssed a considerable fortune. In 1805 1
he returned to his native country and fixed
his residence at Washington, where he dis
played a liberal hos|>itulity, and lived on
terms of intimacy with most of our distin
guished statesmen. He now devoted him
self to the publication of the Columbiad,
which was based upon a poem written while
he was in the army, and published soon
after the close of the war, under the titlo of
“The Vision of Columbus.” This was is
sued in a style of elegance which few works,
either American or European, have ever
equalled. In 1811 he was appointed Min
ister to France, and in October of the fol
lowing year was invited to a conference with
the Emperor Napoleon at Wilna. He im
mediately set off on this mission, travelling
day and night; but sinking under the fatigue,
and want of food and sleep to which lie was
obliged to submit, he fell into a state of de
bility and torpor from which he never recov
ered. He died in December, 1812, at Zar
navvica, a village in Poland, near Cracow.

“ A bold peasantry, their country’s pride
When once destroy’d can never be supplied.”
The Farmer. —Why is it that Agricultu
ral pajicrs do not prosper generally in the
Southern as they do in the Northern States?
Is it because they are conducted hy gentle
men of less ability or of less moral worth,
or is it because the farmers of the South are
.too ppor to support the press? Not one of
those objections can he urged in truth, and
yet many useful papers devoted to Agricul
ture have been discontinued in the South for
want of patronage. Such a state of things
is any thing else hut creditable to our coun
try, and we trust the blot will shortly he
expunged. In a former communication we
gave it as our opinion that the farmer Should
l>e a reading man, and the more minutely
we examine.this point, the more thoroughly
are we convinced of its correctness. The
farmer should not only lead Agricultural,
but political papers; for surely no one is
more interested in the perpetuity of ourfiee
institutions than he is. We do not think,
however, that he should permit his mind to
become so nbsoibed in politics as to cause
him to abandon, or even neglect, his daily
avocations. While it is true that a veiy
large number of farmers support the press
with liberal hands and cheerful hearts, it is
equally true that many of them never contri
bute a cent to this desirable object. We
are personally arejuainted with farmers
worth from 25 to 30 thousand dollars, clear
of debt, who never read a newspaper of any
kind, unless it is a borrowed one. Ask
such persons why they do not subscribe to
a newspaper, or purchase good books, and
they will tell you that they have no time to
read. They might with as much propriety
say that they had no time to eat or sleep,
for there is no one who does not have hours
of leisure that might he profitably employed
in the acquisition of useful knowledge. One
is ready, however, to excuse himself rn the
ground of not having received a liberal ed
ucation in his youth; hut this we consider a
poor apology for remaining in ignorance,
when ills completely in the power of almost
every otie to improve tlicir minds to some
extent; and this becomes the imperative
duty of all, from the fact that both moral
and intellectual culture arc Conducive to
earthly: prosperity and happiness. Man, as
a reflecting and rational being, ought to ex
ercise his mind as well as his feetand hands.
We have long been of opinion that Agricul
ture should be taught in our Schools, theo
retically if not practically. When thcKing
of Sparta was asked “ what things he thought
most proper for hoys to learn?” answered
“those things which they expect to do when
they are men.” Sparta had a wise King,
and well had he studied the education of her
youth. The whole range of education he
embraced in one sentence. The advice was
full of wisdom and good common sense.
But the young farmer, in America, has not
taken this advice. While receiving his edu
cation, lie has learned nothing of his pro
fession! No! Where is there a school that
teaches Agriculture? If any, tlieyarelike
Angel’s visits, “few and far between.”
What profession so difficult as that which
works with breathing, changing*nature!—
How well should the farmer understand ev
ery plant, and shrub, and grass, and grain,
and flower, that blooms or ripens in his field?
“Nature is struggling with all her energies
to feed and bless the human race; and to
aid her is the work of the farmer. Butlie
will he a poor help if he does not understand
her mode of operation.” We trust that the
prejudice against book learning with some
farmers will shortly he discarded, and our
whole rural population will rise rapidly to
better method and to a more comfortable
state of life, while a proper study of their
own profession would greatly improve their
faculties, and make them more and more
capable of all other knowledge. It is not
because the farmer has to labor physically
that he is less respected and less influential
in many instances than other classes, but it
is because he is too often less intelligent, and
consequently not so useful. Then let the
rudiments of Agriculture be taught in our
Schools; let those who desire to elevate the
mental condition of fanners generally, unite
their efforts now; let it no longer be said
that the Schools of our country do not teach
the elements of Agriculture, which is the
noblest employment of man.— Grcenvilec
Mountaineer.
Berts for Cattle. —As experience, and not
speculation, is what farmers need, I will
give my observations in feeding beets to my
cows during thetwo past winters. In 1838,
put up about 300 bushels of mangel vvurtzel
beets, 100 bushels of turnips, and some po
tatoes, for the purpose of experimenting in
feeding my cattle through the winter. I
knew nothing hut what I learned from hooks,
as I was acquainted with no farmers, (nor
am I yet) whofed with roots. At first I was
at a loss to know how to feed them, whether
in a raw state or cooked, but having deter
mined to try both plans I commenced the
( work, and each did well. Young animals
are peculiarly fond of the raw beets, and
thrive astonishingly on them; but for cows
that give milk, they are better boiled, par
ticularly if a steamer can be used in the pro
cess. Though milk cows should have raw
beets once in every two or three days, if
grass cannot he had.
The turnips and potatoes were given pre
cisely as the beets; hut I could not deter
mine that either had the preference over the
other, ns the cows gave about the same
quantity of milk, and their condition did not
seem changed by either. In feeding the
same animal with beets, it was easily told
that one-third less than of the turnips or po
tatoes would make them give the same
quantity of milk, of better quality, and they
showed better keep. The beets made the
milk better, the butter better, and the cows
look much better. On one half bushel of
beets per day to each cow, without straw,
and a little meal or bran mixed in, they con
tinued in good condition through the winter,
gave as much milk as in the summer, and
the butter was full as good as in May. My
experienceduringthe past winter (1839-40)
while I fed on roots, only confirmed my for
mer conclusion.
Tomatoes for Cows—The Temperance
Advocate of the 21st ult. says—“lt is not
generally known that this vegetable* is a su
perior article for Milch Cows. VV c have
tried it two summers, and find it decidedly
superior to any oilier vegetahle*we have yet
tried. They add greatly to the quantity as
well as the richness of the milk, and give a
rich, golden color to the cream and butter,
which is at least pleasant to the eye, even if
the llavorisnot improved. Wedonotknow,
however, that they impart any richer flavor
to the butter.
“We have known a cow to refusq them
when first offered, but soon become very
fond of them, others—we believe a large
majority—eat them greedily from the first.
Thus far we have fed them only in the raw
state, but if boiled with corn meal, say half
and half, or two-thirds tomatoes, they would
doubtless be far bolter.
“To one who has a dairy farm, the culti
vation of an acre or two in Tomatoes, would
be repaid by greater profit than any vegeta
ble we know. From one acre, not less than
eight bushels might be gathered daily, from !
July until frost. There is some trouble in
picking them, but then nearly every farmer
lias some small negroes, of hut trifling value
in the field, that might he very usefully em
ployed a few hours each day in this work.
In fact, if the farmer has children, his little
boys—aye, and big boys too, would not be
the worse of a little work. We should be
glad to see the experiment tried on a larger
scale than ours, and to learn the result.”
Sun Floiccr 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 envelope taken oft'.
This is done by machinery with great ease.
If ground with the hull, not half the quan
tity of oil can he obtained as when it is hull
ed. 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 gallon
per bushel was obtained, and the project
was abandoned. He did not bull the seed,
hence the failure. C.*A. Earnitz, near Bal
timore, on the contrary, obtained a gallon of
fine oil from’ a bushel, hut his seed was
hulled, and none was lost by the saturation
of the dry covering. When well managed,
a gallon may he counted upon with certainty.
3. Uses. —lt makes a very good oil for
lamps, burning clearly and without offensive
smell. It is found to be well adapted for
painting, spreading smooth, and drying with
facility. For the table, we must prefer it to
olive oil, being cheaper, and having a more
agreeable flavor.
We may add here, that the quantity of
seed produced 04 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 produ
ced by herrip seed. Hemp seed oil posses
ses many of the qualities of linseed oil, and
doubtless might be extracted with equal fa
cility.—Cultivator.
