jm IFAIMOIbfr ©oK©[Ltla “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.— Miss Boyle. TH DM IF IE KAN ©Up 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. THE FAK EM il “ 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. AWIKYDSIEMIINYSb Cotton Storage.
