• “ The wind passcth orer it, and it is gone.”
—What an affecting instance of blight atul ]
desolation is here presented tons! It is
•poken of the flower, vvhicli lises into glare
and brilliancy, but is suddenly laid low by !
the sweep of an untimely blast. When it ;
is just expanding its petals into its matured
crown, and giving forth those charms which
most delight the senses, it is cut off in a
moment, and those pleasing tokens of prom
ise arc laid in the dust. “The wind pas
se: h over it, and it is gone.
And so it is with the blossoming of our
hopes. We are ever picturing out to our
selves gay fields upon which we shall enter
and enjoy the pleasures that we have most
at heart. But this world is a wilderness,
and the garden we would fain make to our
selves in it must lie in the midst of the des
ert. No sooner, then, do our cherished
hopes spring up and liegiti to open under
the genial influence of care and fostering
applications, than there comes the deadly
simoom or the chilling ice wind and pros
tiates them on the ground in which they
had taken root. “ The wind passeth over
them, and they are gone.”
But much more sadly is this true in re
ference to our good resolutions and our bet
ter hopes. We resolve earnestly on our
pVan of amendment and think that we will
bring forth the fruits of early life. In our
solemn moments the good seed is sown in
our hearts. It puts forth its good shoots
and we flatter ourselves that they will grow
tip into trees of righteousness. But while
the plant is yet tender, befoje the blossoms
have well come foitli, and wliillelhe prom
ised fruit is yet in its germ, we are again
apprised of the sojourn in the valley of the
Rtotms: temptation rushes in upon us with
irresistible force; the plant is torn down
audits leaves are scattered. In the sun
shine it stood a moment on its slender stem ;
but “ the wind passelh over it, and it is
gone.”
And this is the way with all things that
savor of earth or depend on earthly means.
But let us transfer our affections from earth
to heaven : let us plan in (.loti's strength
and for his glory, and consecrate the fruits
to him ; and he will cause our efforts to be
come mature even amid storm, and the
wind ts at before destroyed shall fan them
,inio new vigor and life.
An Affectionate Spirit. —We sometimes
meet with men who seem to think that any
indulgence in affectionate feeling, is a weak
ness. They will return from a journey and
greet their families with distant dignity, and
move among their children with the cold
and lofty splendor of an icehurg, surround
ed with its broken fragments. There is
hardly a more unnatural sight on earth, than
one of these families.
A father had better extinguish his boy’s
eyes, than take away his heart. Who that
has experienced the joys of, friendship and
knows the worth of sympathy and affection,
would not rather lose all that ts beautiful in
nature’s scenery, than to be robbed of the
bidden treasures of his heart ? W ho would
not rather follow his child to the grave,
than entomb his parental efl'ections 1
Cherish, then, your heart's best affections.
Indulge in the warm and gushing emotions
of filial, parental, fraternal love. Think
it not a weakness. God is love. Love
God : Love every body and every thing that
is loved.
Teach your children to love; to love the
rose, to love the robin, to love their parents,
to hive their God. Let it he the studied ob
ject of domestic culture, to give them warm
hearts and ardent affections. Bind your
whole family together by these strong cords.
You cannot make them too strong. Ueli
pioo is love; love to God—love toman.—
- Norfolk Herald.
Women. —l dislike the man who deliber
jlbdy trjflea with the affections ‘/tW'Unail. —
Twoufd ralher shake hands with a highway
man than a person who has sacrificed to tiis
own vanity the life-long happiness of an in
experienced gill- I fear this sort of con
duct has never been sufficiently reprobated,
and i'emnles too often betray the rights of
their sex by accepting with pride the hom
age of a man who has become notorious for
tire conquest and destruction of their sisters,
as if his mercy and love could be depended
upon Who has been once cruel to an affec
tionate woman ! The world laughs, and
stores of living prove tbs and stupid jests on
the briefness of woman’s love are nominis
•tered; but you will find, if your heart be
not baldened by selfishness, that this will
be in vain. Perhaps you had no intention
of being serious, you only flirted, tried to
be agreeable, and to please for the mo
ment; but what if, while you are meaning
nothing, your trifling cieateu anguish.—
Your sport become death to the object of it.
When by exclusive attentions you have
excited regard; by the development of tal
ent, or, by the display and devotion of per
sonal graces, you have fascinated the mind
undhhe heart—when by the melting and
speaking eye, the faltering Voire, the fer
vid tone, the retained hand, you have awa
kened the passion you cannot allay ; when
you have done this in the cold blood of vani
ty, and it suits your convenience or sated
coxcombry to finish the scene, by an alter
ed mein, a distant courtesy, or an expies
aion of suipiisc at the unexpected effects
of civility, will you be able to quiet your
conscience with a jest ? VV’ill you sleep
on an adage of fools 01 a lie of your own ?
What if the pour being whose hope you
have changed into despair, whose garden
you have blasted with mildew and dust,
whose heaven you have darkened forever
more, shall sutler iti silence, striving to
bear her sorrows; praying for cheerfulness,
pardoning without forgetting you, till the
worm has eaten through life, and the body
is emaciated which you have led to the
dance; the voice is broken on vliicli you
have hung with delight; the face wan which
you have flattered ; and the eyes frightful
ly blight with funeral lustre, which used
to laugh with ladiuriey and hope mid love,
when they gaze upon you.
What if a prouder temper, a more ar
dent imiiiinntion, and a stronger constitu
tion, should lead to spite ami impatience
and recklessness of good or ill—if a hasty and
loveless marriage should be the wreck of her
sotJl or the provocation of her sin, is there
malidragora that could drug you to sleep
while this was on your memory ? or does
thole really live a man who could triumph
in Inch bitter woe.
<|> believe it not. fin- the sake of your
hoilschold gods, call it and cause it to be a
lie.l Be ye sure that coquetfs are the refuse ,
of Iheir sex, and were only ordained to
cmflespond with the coxcomb of yours.—
W'Bnen have their weaknesses, and plenty
of Item, hut they are seldom vicious like
onm and as to their levity of heart, who
sluH compare the worldly, skin-deep, fund
ricHof a man, with the one rich idolatry of
a vHinuis gi r l. A thousand thoughts tlis-
a thousand passions are a substitute
devotions ot a man, but to love is
tli to be loved is the consumma
tioK to be faithful the religion of a woman;
it <■ her all in all, and when she gives her
heart away, she gives a jewel which, if it
dojbs not make the wearer richer than Crm
sun, will leave the give r poor indeed.
Knowledge of Men. —One evening there
vvt s an illumination, and we sat on one
margin of the lake to take a prospect of it
on ihe other. But 1, instead of looking
Us on the lamps, looked into the water and
up to the sky, and there stood a clear and
be rutiful slar aloft, and immovable. In the
we ter I saw it also, beautiful indeed, but
oft ?n moved by the wind, changing its form,
an 1 not seldom dim. Suddenly the thought
sir jck me, so it is with men ; we know
tin m only io the strangest, most complex,
an 1 often most unnatural relations, far
away from their proper selves, in situations
anil in atmospheres where they ate shaken,
anjd troubled, and become dim. ‘M e look
al vavs one way—down—into some muddy
p<( trd (called belike History) where the real
cl aracter of man is tossed upon the waves
of a vain opinion. Pitiful!—look up at
ot ce into the man’s face—into his soul—
where God gives you opportunity.
‘Beautiful Theight. —Childhood is like a
minor, catching and reflecting images all
around it. Remember that an impious or
profane thought uttered by a parent’s lips
nfiay operate upon a young heart like a care
less spray of water thrown upon polished
steel, staining it with rust, which no after
scouring can efface.
Habits of association with the most pious
persons will do much to improve our relig
ious disciitniuation. The effect upon our
r loral feelings is like that of mingling in
j ood society upon our manners. 1 wonder
i ot that those church members who are es
tranged from the prayer meeting, fall into
<iu. How can they preserve a tender con
i cienee, w hen they never come in contact
vitl: scenes which bring them into intimate
, ommutiion with the pious and the good?
f there are any spiritual members in a
Juirch, die prayar meeting will bring them
I to light. It is on such pccasions more than
i in the public services of the sanctuary,
that the holiest influence on each is exerted.
The brother, therefore, who comes not
within their reach, rmy expect to become a
backslider. No matter bow much of the
power of the world to come he may
have experienced, his moral perceptions
will become so obtuse, as to admit of
his doing things without remorse, things
[ that would have caused him days of peni
tential sorrow. O brethren, we must be
the companions of all those that fear God,
if we would acquire the art of distinguish
ing between things that suffer.
Most, Beautiful. —The Resurrection. —
Diylincout t, in his essay on Death, lias the
following beautiful passage it> illustration of
bis views of the world, and the resurrec
tion of the body—“ Shall Isay that what is
impossible with men is impossible with
God ? lie hath already created the world
by His word, and He is able to restore it
again by the same. Ait hath found out
methods to make beautiful vessels of melt
ed ashes and shall not God’s hand, unto
which all the skill of art; and ailtlio sliengtli
of nature are as nought, be able to gather
up the ashes of earth, and to make of it a
body full of light and glory V’
Ttaise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man
that feareth the Lord, that delighteth great

From the Southern Planter.
SALT A PREVENTATIVE OF SMUT.
Sir —ln perusing the pages of your ex
cellent journal, I find salt recommended as
a fertilizer; although my experience with
this mineral is very limited, still such as it
is, I have concluded to give it to you.
A few years since my crop of wheat
was so badly injured by the smut, that I de
termined I would not use it for seed, and I,
therefore, purchased from a neighbor a
few bushels that was clean and good. 1
found, however, that I had not near enough
to finish my crop, and having heatd that
salt sowed with wheat would prevent the
smut, I resolved to make the experiment.
Accordingly I took my smutty wheat and
washed it. and mixed with it while it was
vet vvet, about a quart of salt to each half
bushel, and with it finished sowing my crop.
When I harvested the crop, I found the
wheat puteliHsed of my neighbor much in
jured by the srnut, but mv salted wheat was
entirely free from this disease, and so su
perioi in quantity and quality, that I believe
if I had let alone my neighbor’s clean wheat,
and sowed my whole crop of my own smut
ty wheat, thus prepared. I should have
made one hundred bushels more than I did.
In the spring of 1542 I tried a similar
exjicrimciit on a few bushels of smooth
chaff spiing wheat, which was much affect
ed with the smut. I washed and mixed as
above, about a quart to the half bushel,
and sowed it hv tiie side of the same wheat
without this preparation. My salted wheat
grew about six inches higher than the other,
and yielded me twenty bushels to one seed
ed, whilst the other did not yield half that
quantity.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
A. Lee.

Prospectus of the Masonic Signal.
VO member of the Masonic Frnlernity w ho des'res
J’ the prosperity of our institution, can fail to discover
the importance of a w ell conducted, and well estab
lished periodical, devoted to the cause of Freemasonry
The power of the Press in disseminating 1 light.” is
familiar to all. And, from a conviction of the impor
tance of such a work, as well as through the solicita
tion of several warm and influential friends, a work,
bearing ‘lie above name, has been undertaken
A publication of tiiis kind is needed at the South. —
The Grand Lodges of on* or two of our sister States
have expressed such an opinion, and a strong desire to
see n Masonic periodical established and sustained in
our own section of the Union ; and no expense or labor
will lie spared to make the *• Signal” such a work as
will meet the wishes of our brethren Arrangements
have hern made at great expense, not only to secure
the regular and prompt appearance of every number*
hut also to obtain the services of an Editor, whose alnli
ities will render our publication creditable to the Craft
and well worthy of their support.
It is hoped that no one will be prejudiced against
otir enterprise, in consequenee of any opinion bn man
entertain of the “Masonic Journal.” The “Signal”
is in diffi rent bands, and under different atrangements.
and, with the aid of the Fraternity, its success is cer
tain.
The central position of Madison, and its facilities for
communication with all parts of the country, as well
as the frequent passage through of strangers, from dif
ferent directions render it a very favorable point for a
Masonic press; and we would thank our friends to
send us bv mail, or otherwise, any intelligence which
would he of interest to Masons, and proper forpublica
tion.
The “ Signal” will be issued senii-inonthly. in num
bers of eight quarto pages, on good paper and fair type.
It will, of course, be devoted exclusively to the cause
of Masonry. The first number will appear on the first
dav of January. 1844.
We cordially invite our brethren who can wield the
quill, to contribute to our pages. All contributions, and
other communications, except on business, must I e
addressed to the “Editor of the Mnsonic Signal.” We
shall be excused for saying that no communication ad
dressed to the “Editor” will be taken from the Post-
Office unless the postage he paid.
Our price, is the moderate sum of Two Dollar* and
Fifty Cents per annum, payable on the delivery of the
first number of each volume. Secretaries of Lodges,
and oiliers, who are disposed to aid in the cireulu'ion
of the work, are requested to net as Agents, and Hppos
ite anv money received for it in the funds of their res.
pec'ive institutions, where it can be used umil called
for. And should such friends, or ngents, wish to rorn
muniente with the Editor, they w ill please deduct fmin
any amount received for subscription and pay the post
age. Once mors we snv, our appeal is to the Craft.
\Ve hope, and believe, it w ill not be in vain.

1 ness and welfare of our race is constantly on th.
march to perfection, nnd with each succeeding dav
some new problem is solved, or some profound secret
revealed, having an important and direct bearing over
mans highest destinies. If we take n retrospective
view over the past twenty years, how is the mind strack
w ith w onder . What rapid strides has science mad*
in every department of civilized life! particularly in
that w hu h relates to the knowledge of the human s v
tern in lienlih and disease. How valuable and indis,
pensnble are the curative means recently discovered
through the agency of Chemistry ! How does the im
agination kindle nnd our admiration glow at the ing.
nniiy, the near approach to die standard of perfection
ol the present tune ! Through theelnborateinvestiga.
lions of Physiology, or the science of Life, and the Pa’
Biology of prevalent diseases, much valuable practical
knowledge has been gained. In consequence of be
coming acquainted with the organization, the elements
of the various tissues and structures of the system, rem
edies have been sought after nnd discovered exactly
adapted to combine with, neutralize and expel morbific
matter,'the cause of disease, and substitute healthy g e
lion in its place. The beautiful simplicity of this mode
of treatment is not only suggested hv the patholoeyof
diseases, not only grateful to the sufferer, but perfectly
in consonance with the operations of Nature, and sat
isfnetorv to the views and reasonings of every intelli
gent, ri fleeting mind. It is thus that SANDS’ SAR
SAPARILLA, a scientific combination of essential
principles of the most valuable Vegetable substances,
operates upon the system. The Sarsaparilla is cone
billed wiih the most effectual aids, the most salutary
productions, the most potent simples of the Vegetable
kingdom ; and its unprecedented success in the resto
ration to health those who had long pined under the
most distressing chronic maladies, hiis given it an ex
tilted diameter, furnishing as it doesevidence of its own
intrinsic value, nnd recommending it to the afflicted in
terms the afflicted only can know. It lias long been
a most important desideratum in the practice ot medi
cine to obtain n remedy similar to this—one that would
act on the liver, stomach and bowels w ith all the pre
cision and potency of mineral preparations, yet with
out nnv of ilteir deleterious effects upon the vital pow
ers of the system.
(£7 a ’ Tlte attention of the reader is res
pectfully called to the following certificates. Howev

the use of this invaluable medicine, vet daily experi

prietors Imre avail themselves of the opportunity of say

Newark, (N. J.) December 15,1842.
Messrs. Sands—Gentlemen •• Wordscannotexpress
the gratitude I feel for your treatment to me, a stran
ger suffering under one of the most loathsome disenses
that nature i- capable of bearing. The disease with
which I was afflicted commenced with inflammation
of the eves, in the venr 1836, which caused almost to
tal blindness. Fortbis I wnsireated and finallyrelieved|
but the remedies were such as to cause the develop
ment of a scrotulous affection on my left arm near ilia
elbow.
The pain extended from the shoulder to the end of
mv lingers, and for two years my sufferings were be
yond description, I tried various remedies nnd consult
ed different Physicians in New York, and amongst
them the late Dr. Bushe, who told me the disease was
caused l>y the large quantity of mercury taken to cure
the infliimmniion ot niy eyes.
My sufferings continued, the arm enlarged, tumours
formed in different places, and in a few months dis
charged, making ten running ulcers at one time,sonic
above and some below the elbow, nnd the discharge
w as so offensive that no person could bear to be in the
room where I was 1 then applied to another distin
guished Physician, w ho told me ampntatinn of the arm
was the only thing thnt could save my life,ns p was
impossible to cure so dreadful a diseasj ; but as I was
unwilling to consent to it lie recommended me to use
Swnim’s Panacea freely, which I did without deriving
hut little benefit
For three years I was unable to raise my hand to my
head or comb my hair, and the serofuln now made its
mipenrnnre on my head, destroying ihe bone in differ
ent places, causing extensive ulcerations nnd I feared
it might reach and destroy the lirnin—the head swelled
very much, accompanied with violent pain, numerous
external remedies were recommended, but they did no
good. About a year since I w r as taken *everelv ill with
a swelling of the body front head to foot, so that 1 was
entirely helpless; the Iloctor advised tne to go to the
Hospital, fin he did not understand mv case; for the
last tew months 1 had been afflicted with a severe pain
in both side*, at times so bard I could scarcely get mv
breath A backing cough constantly annoyed me. and
this combined with my other maladies, rendered me
truly miserable.
Such, gentlemen, had been my situation for seven
years of my life when I commenced the use of your
Sarsaparilla, but as iny case was considered hopeless,
nnd the near prespeet of a speedy dissolution seemed
inevitiil'le, I felt but little encouragement to persevere.
The persuasion o f friends induced me to try your med
icine, which in a few days produced a gieat chnngein
my system generally, by causing an appetite,relieving
Ihe pains, and giving me strength ; as success inspires
confidence, 1 was encouraged to persevere, my pains
grow easier, my strength returned, food relished, the
ulcers healed, m w flesh formed, and I once more felt
within me that 1 might get well. I have now used the
Sarsaparilla about tw o months nnd am now like a dif
ferent being. The arm that was to be amfutatep
has entirely healed, a thing that seemed impossible. I
can scarcely believe the evidence of mv own eyes, but
such is the fact; and it is now as useful ns at nny pe
riod of mv life, and my general health is better than it
has been for years pnsl.
Health ; what magic in the word ! how many thou
sands have sought it in foreign lands ntid sunny dimes,
and have sought in Vain! Yet it came tome wheal
had given up to die, and as I feel the pulsations of health
Coursing through my veins, my whole heart and soul
go forth in fervent gratitude to the nuthorof all oursure
mercies, that he tins been graciously pleased to bless
the means made use of.
Truly have you proved yourself the Good Samaritan
to the afflicted, for next to my Creator my life i* indebt*
ed to you (or rather) the use of your invaluable Sarsapa
rilla The value of such a medicine is countless be
yond price; money cannot pay for it. I have been
raised front death, I may sav, for my friends and myself
thought it impossible thn’ I could recover. And now,
gentlemen, suffer me to add another proof certified too
bv my friends nnd guardians ns a just acknowledgment
of the virtues of your health restoring Sarsaparilla
That the afflicted mav also use it nnd enjoV the beue
fits it alone enn confer, is the heartfelt, fervent wish 01
their and your friend, MARTHA CON LIN.
I know Martha Conlm nnd believe what shestates
in this document to be perfectly true.
