“Within thy retiltn no discord’s jarring sound
Is heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found!”
“THY KINGDOM COME.”
We are but wanderers on a dreamy shore —
Isthmus between eternity and time —
But, in the distance, gleams that light sublime,
Which breaketb through our darkness evermore.
We are but pilgrims by the waves of life,
Here picking tip a pebble, there a shell —
Now dulled by wo, now passion-wrecked in strife—
Our sad inheritance since Adam fell.
Oh, what a dismal denth-in-life this were,
If, with our earthly being, all were done!
’Twas thine to save us from all dark despair,
By the deep suffering of thy incarnate Son.
A*, from that mercy sprung the blessed Word,
So may “ Thy kingdom come,” Almighty Lord !
Women. —There is another glory belong
ing to this age, and almost to this age alone
of our poetry —the glory of female genius.
—We have heard it seriously argued
whether or not women are equal to men;
as if there could be a moment’s doubt in
any mind unbesotted by sex, that they are
infinitely superior; not in understanding,
thank Heaven, not in intellect, but in other
“impulses of soul and sense” that dignify
and adorn human beings, and make them
worthy of living on this delightful earth.
Men for the most part are such worthless
wretches that we wonder how women con
descend to allow the world to be carried on by
them; and we attribute that phenomenon sole
ly to tbehallowedyearningsof maternal affec
tion, which breathes as strongly in maid as
in matron, and may be beautifully seen in
the child fondling its doll in its happy, blissful
bosom. Philoprogenitiveness ! But not to
pursue that interesting speculation, suffice
it for the present to say, that so far from
having no souls—a whim of Mahomet’s, who
thought but of their bodies—women are
the sole spiritual beings that walk the earth
not unseen ; they alone, without pursuing a
complicated and scientific system of decep
tion and hypocrisy are privileged from on
high to write poetry. We—men we mean
—may affect a virtue, though we have it not,
and appeal to be inspired by the divine af
flatus. Nay we sometimes—often—are
truly so inspired, and write like gods. A
few of us are subject to fits, and in them
utter oracles. But the truth is too glaring
to be denied, that all male rational creatures
are in the long run vile, corrupt, and pollu
ted ; and that the best man that ever dies in
his bed within the arms of his distracted
wife, is wickeder far than the worst woman
that was ever iniquitously hanged for mur
dering what was called her poor husband,
who in all cases righteously deserved his
fate.— Christopher North.
Woman's Lore. —A good looking, neatly
dressed female, made her appearance at the
door of the parish prison, the other day, and
requested to see for a few moments a con
vict who was about to depart for Baton
Rouge. The request was granted, and she
entered the cell of one to whom she had
poured out the rich treasures of her girlish
heart in the spring time of existence. He
was stretched on the floor at the time, in a
perfect stupor, tears came from the fountain
of sorrow, and in tremulous accent she pro
nounced his Christian name. As if l>y en
chantment, he woke from his reverie; his
eyes rolled wildly for a moment, when they
met those of a young being whom he had
sworn to cherish and protect through life,
and he rose from his couch and clasped her
to his bosom. They wept a few moments
without uttering a word, when she gently
withdrew from his embrace, atid told him,
in faltering language, she had seen him for
the last time.
“ I love you dearly, William, but we must
pajt —perhaps forever.”
Stained as his name and fame were with
guilt, she did not upbi aid him ; he had blast
ed her young hopes, and crushed the flower
of her youth, and left her to the cold chati
ties of an unfeeling world, yet she murmur
ed not. -She seemed to say in the beautiful
language of Moore,
“ I ask not, I care not.
If guilt’s in thy heart;
I know that I love thee,
Whatever thou art!”
The iron door turned heavily upon its
hinges, and she took a last adieu of one who
was dearer to her than life.— Crescent City.
Despondency. —There is in the mind of
man an innate tendency to grieve at the
destruction of long cherished hopes—at the
failure of results which have been looked
forward to with pleasing anticipations. This
faculty of despondency, though, has different
degrees of strength in different individuals.
For the benefit ot those who are too much
given to desponding at that which is passed
and cannot be helped, we wish to offer a
few remarks.
The consideration that the thing about
which we grieve, cannot be remedied, should
of itself be enough to drive away sadness
—for so long as sadness will not ensure the
sweets of the tiling, why not as well be mer
ry as sober, especially as the former is much
more conducive to our health, both of hotly
and mind. The best possible philosophy in
this world, which has been aptly termed a
vale of teal’s, is to look always on the bright
aide ; and not shadow what few bright mo
ments we have it in our power to enjoy, with
gloomy doubts and fears. Let that which
is past —be past —If failure has crowned
our endeavors, be not sad, but be more care
ful next time. This habit of looking on the
dark side, if persisted in, will at length warp
the brightest mind, and give it a distaste for
enjoyment of any kind. There are ncce
sary evils enough about which to grieve,with
out troubling ourselves about i magi nary ones.
Therefore grieve not about that which hasfail
edby nnfault of our own, but gaining experi
ence bythe past; with a mind buoyed up by
hope of future success, try again.— Portland
Tribune.
Frazer says—“ I certainly blame no lady
who has been accustomed to the ordinary
elegancies of life, for refusing to marry a
poor man ; but must beg my sweet friends
to recollect, that though a man without mo
ney is poor, a man with nothing but money
b still poorer,”
Persecerancc. —Don’t be discouraged, if
in the outset of life things do not go on
smoothly. It seldomhappens thatthe hopes
we cherish of the future arc realized. The
path of life, in the prospect, appears smooth
and level enough. The journey is a labori
ous one, and whether poor or wealthy, high
or low, we shall find it so, to our disappoint
ment, if we have built on any other calcula
tion. To endure what is to be endured with
as much cheerfulness as possible —and to el
bow our way as easily as we can through
the great crowd, hoping for little, yet striv
ing for much, is perhaps the true plan.
But don’t be discouraged, if occasionally
you slip down by the way, and your neigh
bors tread over you a little ; in other words,
don’t let a failure or two dishearten you—
accidents happen ; miscalculations will some
times he made ; firings will turn out differ
ently from our expectations, and we may be
sufferers. It is worth while to remember
that fortune is like the skies in April, some
times clouded, and sometimes clear and fa
vorable ; and, as it would be folly to despair
of again seeing the sun, because to-day is
stormy, so it is unwise to sink into despon
dency when fortune frowns, since, in the
common course of things, she may be sure
ly expected to smile again. And again—
Don’t be discouraged, if you are deceiv
ed in the people of the world. It often
happens that men wear borrowed characters,
as well as borrowed clothes; and sometimes
those who have long stood fair before the
world, are very rotten at the core. From
sources such as these you may be most un
expectedly deceived ; and you will natural
ly feel sore under such deceptions ; but to
these you must become used : if you fare
as most people do, they will lose their novel
ty before you grow gray, and you will learn
to trust men cautiously, and examine their
characters closely, before you allow them
great opportunities to injure you.
Don’t be discouraged, under any circum
stances. Go steadily forwaid. Rathercon
suit your own conscience than the opinions
of men, though the last is not to be disre
garded. Be industrious, he frugal, hojp on
cst, deal in perfect kindness with all wflo
come in your way, exercising a neighborly
and obliging spirit in your whole intercourse,
and if you do not prosper as rapidly as any
of your neighbors, depend upon it you will
be as happy.— Trenton Emporium.
The trappings of dress I most heartily
despise, and have always felt inclined to
judge of the mind from the clothing of the*
body. The neatness and purity of the one,
indicate the soldity and harmrny of the oth
er. In either sex on extravagant frippery
in dress denotes a weak understanding.—

TIIE COLD WATER PLEDGE.
BY BEV. JOHN NEWJ.AND MAFFIT.
Air—“ Fenst of roses,”
The gush of cool bright waters,
Soft music to the ear,
The laugh of beauty’s daughters
And childhood's, mingle here,
And age comes looking brighter—
The old man and his wife
Walked up yon hillock lighter
With steps of earlier life.
For nature’s groans have risen
To nature’s loving God,
And he hath rent the prison
Where soul became a clod ;
IJis mighty arm hath riven
The water rocks again,
And from our feast hath driven
The fires that scorch the brain.
Clear, dancing, glancing fountains !
Your hymn in solitudes
Swells from the fitted mountains
And gently here intrudes;
Our hearts dance to its measures—
We shout aloud and long,
As those who find great treasures,
And burst into a song.
Here with ns stand our brothers
Plucked from the living grave,
Whom sisters, wives, and mothers
Have long implored to save;
Jiovi take the Pledge of gladness,
We drink in waters clear;
Away with wine-cup madness !
We have the cups that cheer.
Cold Water and Prosperity. —Some few
weeks ago, we bad the pleasure of bearing
James Buchanan, Esq., British Consul for
this port,deliver an address before the How
ard Society, on which occasion he related
the following circumstances:
Several years ago, a gentleman dined with
him who had risen by iris own industry and
integrity alone, from bumble life to a proud
elevation in society. On being invited to
take a glass of wine, the following conversa
tion ensued:
“Do you allow persons at your table to
drink what they please I” asked the guest.
“ Certainly,” replied the consul.
“ Then I’ll take a glass of water.”
“ Ah, indeed ! And how long have you
drank cold water?”
“ Ever since I was eleven years old.”
“Is it possible ? And what induced you
to adopt the principle of total abstinence?”
“ Seeing a person intoxicated.”
“ Well,” continued the consul, “if you
have had the firmness of purpose to contin
ue up to this time without taking any intox
icating drinks, 1 do not wonder that you
have reached your present )>osition.”
The consul afterwards learnt that the
person he saw intoxicated was his father.—
N. Y. Organ.
Shocking Occurrence !—Horrible attempt
at Murder ! —Late on Wednesday evening,
our citizens in the neighborhood of the cor
ner of Water and Jackson-streets, were
startled from their slumbers by the most fear
ful skrieks for help, accompanied with appal
ling cries of murder. Several persons has
tily armed witli bludgeons, hunied instantly
to an old out building in the vicinity, from
whence the alarm proceeded. One of those
who had repaired to the scene of the suffer
ing individual, was forcibly restrained by his
companions, from entering : in their haste
they had forgotten a light, and were appre
hensive that the murderer might he armed
&ms<DisiLibAit'sr
with pistols, dirks and other deadly weapons,
which in the dark might be turned against
themselves. In the meantime, the shrieks
fearfully increased—now accompanied by
the agonizing entreaty, “ Oh, come quick !
lie’s eating me up!” A light was at length
procured, when all rushed forward to the
scene of action, and—oh horror of honors—
what a spectacle presented itself! The un
fortunate victim “of a foul intent” lay
stretched upon the earth with palid counten
ance, teeth chattering, and eyeballs starting
from their sockets. One side of his face was
covered with slaver ! His only companions
were found to be a pair of calves—one of
which was engaged in sucking his ear, while
the other was very quietly inspecting the
operation, probably wondering which of the
twain was most “ badly sucked.”
Upon inquiry, it appeared that the indi
vidual in question—an old toper who had
be?n hanging about the place for some time
—had gone into the building in search of
quarters for the night; and had compos
ed himself to rest, from which he was
awakened by the calf tugging at his ear,
when he commenced the uproar above no
ticed.—Exchange paper.

“ A bold peasantry, their country’s pride
When once destroy’d can never be supplied.”
THE FARMER’S SONG.
“ Well, farmer, how speaketh the weather to-day ?
How springeth the seed through the soil ?
And how, when their trust these broad acres repay,
Wilt thou find the reward for their toil?”
The farmer look’d up through the calm of the sky —]
The farmer look’d out o’er his field,
And he paused as if scanning with spirit and eye,
The harvest those acres would yield.
“For years have tny forefathers fallowed the plough,
And the harvest the Godhead has given !
With the fruits which in autumn, they shook from the
bough
They gave to the purpose of heaven !
The fruits hare the board of the festival grac’d,
And the grain lias been ground in the mill;
Where the poor have requir'd,it has freely been plac’d,
But it never was food for the still!
“ All blessings have follow’d to them and to theirs,
And plenty, and pleasure, and peace;
They sow’d not in evil, they reap’d not in tears.
And each season was crown'd with increase I
Like them have I sow'a, and like them have 1 mow’d,
And I’ve reap'd, and I've gather'd like them;
And w hile I tread in so blameless a road,]
Neither Heaven nor earth will condemn !”
Ignorance of the principles of Agriculture.
—Among the causes which have essentially
contributed to the deterioration of our lands,
and the consequent depression of our Agri
culture, I consider the following :
Agriculture has too generally been con
sidered a business requiring mere physical
power, with which the principles of natural
science had little or nothing to do. To
plough, sow, and gather the crop, has been
the general routine of farming operations,
regardless of the poverty which our prac
tice was inflicting upon the soil and upon
our children. Like the reckless heir of
wealth, we found ourselves in possession of
a treasure; and without enquiring for what
purpose it came into our hands, or realizing
our obligations to husband and preserve it,
for others, we have squandered it lavishly,
through our ignorance or our folly. True,
we have been occasionally admonished of
our error, by the schoolmen; who, wrapped
in abstract science, and knowing little prac-
its application to husbandry, have
as often tended to confuse and mystify, as
to enlighten and instruct. Hence the pre
judice which lias arisen, against book-farm
ing. But science and art are now uniting
their labors, and are deriving mutual aid
from each other, on the farm, as they have
for some time been doing in the manufactory
and in the shop of the artisan. Anew era
is dawning upon the vision of the farmer; a
new light is illuming his path, and anew in
terest and new pleasures are urging him on
to improvement. He begins to study the
laws which Providence has ordained for the
government of improved culture, and he
finds, in their application to his labors, the
means of increasing profits and high intel
lectual enjoyment. And the more he stu
dies and is guided by these laws, the more
docs he become satisfied of former errors,
and of his comparatively limited sphere of
usefulness. Science is probably capable of
rendering more important services to hus
bandry than to any other branch of labor,
and presents a wider field of useful study
to the cultivator of the soil, than to any oth
er class of society.— Bucl.
From the “ South-Western Farmer.”
Bacon— what of it ? “It is a fine thing
in a family, especially where there is no
milk.” But it is also of several qualities, as
good, bad, and indifferent—yet bacon is not
a natural, but an artificial product. Strange
as it may sound at first blush, and that your
readers may all know the complete art of
baconizing and those among them who are
“ lucky to hogs,” it is hoped notwithstand
ing that they and their daddys before them
have used a different process in bacon mak
ing, will be persuaded to try an experiment
hinted at herein and long since tested by the
experiments of others as the best mode of
making the most splendid bacon. West
phalia to the contrary notwithstanding.
As it is said by someone noted for culina
ry skill thatthe best mode of roasting a hare,
is : “ first catch a hare,” so in order to make
the best bacon it is first indispensable to have
hogs and a goodly number of them. The
Berkshires beyond a doubt are the best, but
as they are rather thin, otherwise a “new
invention'’ and not suited to the views of
those sagacious lovers of things which they
have always seen and known, and who will
agree to nothing in the least at variance
with “ the stone in one end of the bag and
a pumpkin in the other” principle ; the Pi
ny woods Grazier crossed with the Wild
swamp Rooter if well fattened will do very
well, provided in alljcases that at two years
old they will weigh in full flesh 150 lbs. nett;
for if older they never eat well, prepared in
any way, and if less they are not worth the
trouble of making into bacon at all. Then
after the hogs are well fattened, well killed,
well cleaned, and well cut up into heads,
jowls, shoulders, chines, hams, and feet;
then when the pieces shall be quite cool,
salt in the usual mode, ar.d pack on hoards;
but in hogsheads or troughs is better—leave
them in bulk for from two to eight days, ac
cording to the state of the weather and oth
er prudential considerations, for the pur
pose of extracting the blood and other mat
ter contained in the {tores, and which is ex
pelled by the emunctory influence of the
salt—then prepare to pickle by boiling pure
water and salt so much as will dissolve and
more, skimming away whatever scum may
rise to the surface, to which add salt-peter
as much as you choose, but one pound to
fifty gallons of the liquid will be sufficient,
also any spices you may wish may be put
into’the pickle and set away to cool—then
pack your hams, shoulders or other parts
as may be into water-tight hogsheads pour
ing upon them while packing the pickle, so
as to keep it near the surface of each layer
of the meat, but so as not to obstruct a dis
covery of the interstices to be filled tip by
the next course, and so till the hogshead be
filled, then raise the brine so as entirely to
cover the pork ; head up the hogshead close
ly, and so leave it until you may wish to
smoke it; which of course will not be until
the meat has thoroughly received the salt
and become firm; but it may remain for
years in a perfect state of preservation as
pickled pork if you desire it. Meat han
dled in this way never spoils. So far as
smoking and drying are concerned, I sup
pose every one knows that the larger, high
er, and cooler the smoke house may be the
better—as also the more smoke, and less
heat, the more certainly and safer will your
bacon he cured, and therefore the smoke
house should be airtight if possible, and the
hams and shoulders being in the central part
alike distant as far as may be practicable
from the roof, the side walls, and especially
from the fire ; for creating and continually
keeping up a strong smoke, and one that of
itself has a powerful tendency to impart a
pleasant flavor to the meat, pine saw-dust
and green hickory wood should be used ; let
the smoke be continued throughout the year,
more particularly in damp weather, and you
may bid flies and every sort of vermin de
fiance ; without the trouble of taking down
the meat and packing in any way.
But if you will take down and pack away
your meat after it is smoked sufficiently ; in
doing so, see that it be thoroughly dry and
firm at the time of packing away, then if
you have pieserved dry the ashes of the
smoke house, a small portion of them sprin
kled or sifted upon each layer of meat while
packing, is the best preservative of any oth
er ; the strength of the ashes is such as ef
fectually to cook any skipper or insect of
any kind that having damped itself with the
juice of the meat or otherwise, should get
among the ashes; for the damp instantly
creates a hot fermentation of the ashes like
slacking-lime. Let any one try this plan,
and if he is not willing to give a certificate
of its superiority to any other, I shall be
willing to take his advice for the future.

CERTIFICATE.
This is to certify, that I purchase] of Johnston &
Robson, of Madison, Georgia, six bottles of Houck’s
Panacea, which was administered to my wife who had
been lingering with Dyspepsia for 8 or 10 years, scarce
ly ever seeing a well day. She has received so much
benefit from its use that she 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 60
years old. It has also benefittea my neighbors. Its use
will be very general in our County, when its virptes
are tested. It is mild and pleasant, and can be cheer
fully recommended by me as a very valuable Family
Medicine. JOHN FARGASON.
