■ 7WE ©©#©©lls = 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 liken child sporting on the rippling strand of the sea, when a high tide is about com ing in. © 9 ©'© IS AP.M 0 © & L o 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.

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. AowEirasiiMEiKim Alfred A.
