MOTIICR,THY CHILD IS THERE!
BY W. J. A.N.NADI.E.
There is a land they call the “ srinrr lan’O,”
‘Tis Heaven, where all is life, and light, and joy.
And love; where flow’rs, bright fljwer*,i in mortal bloom,
And fadeless verdure crowns die golden plains.
There tbe seraphic harps in sweet attune,
Breathe Heav’nly music ’mid ambrosial bow’rs,
And spirit-voices mingle with the strain,
’Till Heaven’s refulgent arches ring w ith shouts
Os eloquence divine 1
Mother, thy boy is there : forcv’ry soul
That loves its God, forever dwells with him 1
He was a child, his soul took wings and flew.
Ere blighting sin had stain’d its purity.
Hark ! ev’n angels list his small sweet voice,
And smile, bend down, and teach his cherub lips
The joyful song of” Moses and the Lamb.”
That voice! I hear it now —it dies! again—
Again ! Hark 1 Hush!
Mother, thy child is there !

Time is the most undefinable yet para
doxical of things; the past is gone, the fu
ture is to come, and the present becomes
the past, even while we allempt to define
it, and, like the flash of lightning, at once
exists and expires. Time is the measurer
of all things, but is itself immeasurable, and
the grand discloser of all things, but is it
self undisclosed, hike space, it is incom
prehensible. because it lias no limit, and it
would be still more so if it had. It is more
obscure in its source than the Nile, and in
termination than the Niger; and advances
like the slowest tide, hut retreats like the
swiftest torrent. It gives wings of lightning
to pleasure, but feet to lead to pain ; end
lends expectation a curb, but enjoyment a
spur. It robs beauty of her charms, to be
stow them on her picture, and builds a mon
ument to merit, but denies it a house. It
is the transient and deceitful flatterer of
falsehood, but the tried and final friend of
truth. Time is the most subtle, yet the
most insatiable of depredators, and by ap
pearing to take nothing is pcimitted to take
all, nor can it be satisfied until it has stolen
the world from us, and us from the world.
It constantly flies, yet overcomes all things
by flight, and although it is the present ally,
it will be the future conqueror of death.
Time, the cradle of hope, but the grave of
ambition, is the stern corrector of fools, hut
counsellor of the wise, bringing all they
dread to the one, and all they desire to the
other; but, like Cassandra, it warns us with
a voice that even the sagest discredit too j
long, and the silliest believe too late. Wis
dom walks before it, opportunity with it,
and repentance behind it. He that has made j
it his friend will have little to fear from his j
enemies; but he that lias made it his enemy
will have little to hope from his friends.—
Rev. C. C. Colton.
Eternity. —The only theme that confuses,
humbles and alarms the proud intellect of |
man. What is it ? The human mind can I
grasp any defined length of time, however |
vast, but this is beyond time, and too great !
for the limited conception of man. It has i
no beginning, ahd can have no end. It can- |
not be multiplied, it cannot be added unto; j
you may strive to substract from it, but it is
useless. Take millions and millionsof years i
from it, take all the time that enters the com
pass of your imagination, it is still whole and
undiminislied as before—all calculation is
lost. Think on, the brain becomes heated
and oppressed with a sensation of weight
too powerful for it too bear, and reason tot
ters in her seat, and you rise with the con
viction of the impossibility of the creature
to fathom the Creator, humiliated with a
sense of your own nothingness, and im
pressed with the tremendous majesty of the
Deity.
Cultivate Flowers. —A beautiful woman
never looks so beautiful as when with her
cheeks flushing with exercise, and her eyes
sparkling with cheerfulness, with her “ cope
bonnet” on,auda hoe oradibklein her hand,
she is busily engaged in work in her garden.
It is a healthy employment, and exhibits be
sides, evidence of refinement and taste. To
those who are disposed to treat our opinion
on this matter with contempt, we would re
commend a perusal of the following extract
from an exchange paper :
“ What is the use of flowers!” exclaims
a thrifty housekeeper, meanwhile busily
polishing her fire-irons. What is the use of
bright fire-irons, say we in reply ? or of
any fire-irons at all ? could not you make a
fire on two stones, that would keep you
quite as warm ? What’s the use of hand
some table cloths and bed spreads 1 one
might eat on a board, and sleep under a buf
falo skin, and not really starve either !
When you see a house standing all alone,
bare of shrub or flower, except perhaps some
volunteer bunches of thistle and pig weed,
what do you infer of its inmates l And
when you have passed even a log cabin,
where the sweet brier was carefully trained
around the door, while veils of morning glo
ries and of scarlet beaus, shaded the win
dows, did you not immediately think of the
dwellers there, as neat, cheerful and agree
able 1 This is more especially the case iu
regard to the homes of the poor. The cred
it of the rich man’s grounds may belong to
his gardener, but they who can keep no gar
dener, and whose simple flower garden
springs out of moments stolen from neces
sary labor, possess a genuine and cordial
love of the beautiful, to render even a hum
ble dwelling so fragant and fair.
Idle Daughters. —lt is, says Mrs. Ellis, a
most painful spestacle in families where the
mother is the druge, to see the daughters
elegantly dressed, reclining at their ease,
with their drawing, their music, their fancy
work, and their reading; beguiling them
selves of (he lapse of hours, days and weeks,
and never dreaming of their responsibilities,
but as a necessary consequence of the neg
lect of duty, growing weary of their use
less lives, luying Jiold of every newly in
vented stimulant to rouse their drooping
enevgics, and blaming their fata when thev
dare not blame their God, for having placed
them wheiethey are.
These individuals will often tell you with
an air of affected compassion—for who can
believe it real ?—that “ poor dear mamma is
working herself to death.” Yet no sooner
do you propose that they should assist her,
than they declare she is quite in her element
—in short, that she would never be happy
if she had only half as much to do.
Beautiful Extract. —“ Love with man is
a recreation and a passion ; with women it
becomes a part of her existence. Let not
her, who has once given herself up to its
reveries, hope to break the spell that is
wound around her. Sickness, poverty, and
age, may, to the eyes of others, render the
object worthless; hut the sensibility of wo
meu possesses an alchymy that turns all to
gold. It is in vain for friends to reason, for
the world to scoff, her destiny is to love on.”
Cheerfulness. —A woman may be of great
assistance to her husband, in business, by
wearing a cheerful smile continually on her
countenance. A man’s perplexities and 1
gloominess are increased a hundred fold
when his better half moves about with a
continual scowl upon her brow. A plea
sant cheerful wife is as a rainbow set hi the
sky when her husband’s mind is tossed with
storms and tempests; but a dissatisfied and
fretful wife, in tbe hour of trouble, is like
one of those fiends who delight to torture
lost spirits.— Boz.

“ A bold peasantry, iheir country’s pride
When once destroy’d can never be supplied.”
A late number of the “Boston Trans
cript” lias ati extended notice of the Earl
of Leicester, recently deceased. We ex
tract that portion which has reference to liis
great practical skill in Agriculture, to ex
hibit to our readers what may he effected
by a system of judicious husbandry. Per
haps there is not a plantation in Georgia
that is not susceptable of a similar degree
of improvement. AVho can estimate the
immense benefit which would have resulted
to our State had our planters imitated the
example of tbe Earl, rather than adopted
the reckless, ruinous and extravagant sys
tem of Agriculture which has anddoesnow,
to an alarming extent, prevail at the South?
How many of our oldest and best families
would still have been among us, who have
long since abandoned their worn out sand
hills, to seek new homes in Alabama and
Mississippi, where the same system will in
the end produce the same effects ? It is high
time that our planters should awaken to the
importance of a more rational and better
economy.
Mr. Coke, (the name by which the Earl
was best known in this countiy,) “ was not
a mere theoretical talker, but an actor, and
his own estates are evidences of the truth of
what we say. Many portions of those es
tates, which, when they came into his man
agement, were footing banks of surul, have
not only been improved, but changed in the
very texture of their soil. By the addition
of day and marl, he converted thousands of
such acres of such sands, as we have des
cribed, into productive loams —lands, which
fifty years ago, would bring nothing but
peas, are now'among the best wheat soils in
the Kingdom. He was, too, among the
most zealous improvers of stock, and to his
munificence, is our country mainly indebted
for the introduction, within the last thirty
years, of those beautiful Devons, which are
now to be found every where over our wide
spread domain—most of them having pro
ceeded from a present of six, which he made
to our accomplished country woman, the
Marchioness of Wellesley, and by her to
her venerable father, and late father-in-law,
both at the time, and one of them now, re
sidents of our city.
“ The extent of Ilolkliam, his estate, is
about 3500 acres, nearly surrounded by a
high brick-wall, about ten miles in circuit.
This comprises plantations of wood, and a
beautiful lake of water, and nothing can ap
pear more rural than its borders, completely
overshadowed with forest, and wild as in
the depths of some solitude in Michigan.
All the woods have been planted, the work
of bis own band—tbe whole estate being
plentifully sprinkled with vorious species of
trees, arranged in coppices, in acres of fo
rests, and long avenues, so that, instead of
a vast park iu one body, it is every where
an ornament and a shelter, over hill and dale,
nowhere in excess or in the way of the
farmer. Immediately around the mansion
are gardens, delightful walks, and a wide
extent ot velvet lawns on every side ; but
these are marked by their own schemes of
practical utility, for here may he seen the
stately pheasant and tlie graceful deer that
feed and blouse and bound about on these
soft lawns, and enjoy tlie seclusion of the
soft shades in perfect security. These are
charms to the eye, and exhibit the tastful
elegance of the noble proprietor. Here
are woods, too, and while riding through
their Jong winding lanes, one is charmed
with the perfume of the forest flowers of
the most exquisite fragrance, and the chirp
ing and fluttering of the birds—the yellow
hammer, whirling and fluttering on his
wings; the shining blue jay, glancing “like
the javelin by,” and the woodpecker tap
ping on the hollow tree.”
“ The remoter lawns are sprinkled over
with flocks of sheep—of which more than
three hundred are kept—of the famous Sout-
Down breed ; aflkl in the pastures are to be
seen the fine, sleek, bright looking cattle,
biousing in herds, more than three hundred
in number, besides an immense dairy of
Scotch Cows. Beyond these pastures, one
comes at once into the midst of cultivation,
and a ring of this, skirted and sheltered lieie
and there with avenues and copses and trees,
encircles the whole estate. Here may be
seen a field of one hundred and thirty acres
in barley, another of sixty acres in wheat,
with fields of peas twenty-five and twenty
seven acres each ; the arable land being di-
B<d sr mmHi wr hi a.B <0 is && a irsr*
vided about equally between these grains,
and turnips and grass, which crops, some
times having grass for two years, constitute
the routine of the succession of tillage on
the same ground. There are in cultivation
at this time about four hundred and thirty
acres of wheat and barley each in a fine
condition ; in the steward’s estimation, thir
ty bushels an acre nre indifferent crops—for
ty and fifty more the “ right thing.”
“It must never be forgotten, that Holk
ham lias literally been made what it is by
Mr. Coke. When lie succeeded to the es
tate it was a mere waste ; not a tree, nor
was it believed that the land would grow
them—the only creatures that could exist
upon it were rabbits, and they were starv
ing ! Now what a triumph is here !”
From the” Central New York Farmer.”
MANUFACTURE OF OIL FROM
LARD.
A patent has been obtained by Mr. J. H.
Smith, of New York. The substance of
his process is as follows : Boil the Lard ei
ther by fire diiectly applied to the kettle, or
by steam. When the latter is employed he
uses a steam tube to descend from the steam
boiler into the vessel, and coiled round on
the bottom so as to present a large heating
surface to the lard, provision being made to
carry off’ the water and waste steam. It is
usual to perforate the tube with numerous !
holes along the whole of that portion of it ;
which is submerged below the lard, thus al- ■
lowing the whole of the steam to pass into 1
and through the lard. To operate with ad
vantage the vessel should he of considera
ble capacity, holding, say, from ten to one
hundred barrels. The length of boiling
will of course vary according to the quality
of the lard. That which is fresh may not
require to be boiled more than five or six
hours, while that which lias been long kept
may require twelve hours. It is of great
importance to the perfecting of the separa
tion of the Stearin (oil) andEleaine that, the
boiling should he continued for a considera
ble period.
Alcohol is employed, mixed with the lard
in the boiler at the commencement of the
operation. When the lard is sufficiently
fluid, gradually pour and stir into it about
one gallon of alcohol to every eighty gal
lons of lard, taking care to incorporate them
as intimately as possible; and this will cause
a perfect separation between Stearin and
Eleain from each other, by tbe spontaneous
granulation of the former, which takes place
when the boiled lard is allowed to cool in a
state of rest. Camphor is sometimes com
bined with alcohol, dissolving about one
fouith of a pound in each gallon of alcohol,
which not only gives it an agreeable odour,
but appears to co-operate with the alcohol
in effecting the object in view.
After the boiling has been continued for
a sufficient length of time, the fire is with
drawn or the steam cut off, and the mass is
allowed to cool sufficiently to be ladled or
drawn off into hogsheads or other suitable
coolers, when it is to be left at perfect rest,
to cool down and acquire the ordinary tem
perature of the atmosphere ; and as the
coolings proceed, the granulation will take
place and become perfect. The material is
then to be put into bags and pressed mode
rately under any suitable press, which will
cause the Eleaine to flow out in a state of
great purity, there not being contained in it
any perceivable portion of Steatin, and this
practice is to be continued until the Stearin
is as dry as it can be made in this way.
The Stearin is then by a very simple pro
cess, which we have not space to give at
present, prepared to be made into candles,
the Eleaine being ready for use as oil.
We have seen these preparations, and
they are fully equal to sperm oil and candles,
and are much cheaper. The oil is sold at
57 cents per gallon, and gives a beautiful
clear light, and emits neither smoke nor
smell while burning. The candles also burn
as well as the best sperm. There are tluee
large manufactories of oil and candles, we
believe, at Cincinnati, and one at Philadel
phia, and one in New York ; and the de
mand for the oil as yet exceeds the supply.
This will enable the farmer to dispose of
his pork without difficulty, and we imagine
■the fears of some that there will he no mark
et for corn, because of the overthrow of
distilleries by the Washingtonians, will be
groundless. A kind and merciful Provi
dence has provided ways enough in which
the fruits of the earth may be used for the
benefit of mankind.

A Woman's Reasons. —A woman’s rea
sons are said to be three; they are past,
present, and to come; and areas follows:
“ Because I did”—“Because 1 will”—and
“ Because I should like.” The first it is
impossible to get over; the second is al
most a hopeless case; and a man must be a
brute, indeed, if lie can.for a moment object
to the third. Then the way in which they
bring these reasons to bear is everything.
A man would knit his brow surlily, and say,
in a deep repulsive voice, if he liked not
the first interrogation, “ Because I did !”
Not so with a woman ; she would put on
one of her sweetest looks, and, half-smiling,
say, “ Why, my dear, because I did—and
you know, my love, that’s a woman’s reason
for everything.” To the second, a man
would reply, “Because I will; and if I don’t,
why”—and lie would be in asliade of swear
ing. But a woman would shake her pretty
little head, and say, “ Because I will; and
you know, rny darling, when I say a thing 1
always do it; and 1 never do otherwise than
please you, do 1, my love ?” As to the
third, it does everything; for who can re
fuse them “ what they would like.” True,
enough, it has brought many a man to the
gallows; yet who ever could grumble at so
trifling a trial—a thing that cun but “hap
pen once in a man’s life,” when it shows his
attachment to the sex ?
The Dandy and the Dog. —“ Look here,
you fellow, keep your dog off from me, will
you ?” said a dandy to a pert butcher’s boy.
“\V ell, d—n that dog, he will be med

butcher.

Anecdote of a Pointer Dog. —A while
since a gentleman travelling up the Missis
sippi river had as a companion a remarka
bly fine pointer dog; he seemed to possess
every intelligence but that of speech. A
mong the many tricks he performed was
that of carrying notes from gentlemen to
ladies in the cabin, and from causes wc leave
philosophers to decide on, that dog would
lay a note, after considerable smelting a bout,
in the lap of any lady, whose husband had
sent the note" —while if any gentleman sent
a note into the ladies’ cabin, who had no
wife there, he would bring it hack. This
was done repeatedly and always with suc
cess. A youug buck on board, toshow his wit,
sent a note with his name on it, in full, into
the ladies’ cabin, jocularly remarking to the
dog, “If you are so smart, give that to my
wife.” The dog, contrary to expectation,
returned without the note; a shout was
heard in the ladies’ cabin, as the intelligent
animal placed the note at once at the black
chambermaid’s feet. The best of the joke
was, the young gentleman had made his at
tentions to the said chambermaid unplea
santly conspicuous to the ladies. After his
exposure he disappeared.
Poetic Comparison. —The following is the
first effort of a young son of song :
Oh how dismal and how dark.

But darker yit, more dismal still,
Am a dose of Brandreth's pill!
I took a box—l thought I was a goner—
So thought the whale that swallowed Joner!

CERTIFICATE.
This is to certify, that I purchase ! of Johnston Sc
Robson, of Madison, Georgia, six bottles of Houck's
Ibinacea, which was administered to tny wife who had
been lingering with Dyspepsia for 8 or 10 years, scarce
ly ever seeing a well day. She hns received so much
benefit front its use that site firmly believes she would
have been in the grave had she not have taken it. She
is now in good health, for her age, being now about GO
years old. It hns also henefitted my neighbors Its use
will lie very general in our County, when its virtues
are tested. It is mild and pleasant, and can be cheer
fully recommended by me as a very valunble Family
Medicine. JOHN FAUGASON.
