TOI PJmaiLY ©JMiLiE, “Within thy realm no discord’s jarring sound Is heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found!” Front the “ Literary Harvester.” 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 ! Hebron, Ct. 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. T Ir] E iP A®MI E3 , “ 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. TUE HHDM©IB 0® T i Be always as merry as ever you can For no one delights in a sorrowful man. 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 dling with the puppiers!” said the young butcher. 05** Here is a letter which was accident ally dropped in the street by the person, we presume, to whom it was written. We have waited some time to find an owner, hut no one claims it, and we have put it in the “ Miscellany.” It seems to be the ofl spring of some genius who imagines him self a poet. There must have been a con cussion of the brain when some of tho.9e thoughts struck him.

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.
