Weeds and Flowers.— Young Willy
Thompson had lived all his life in a large
city, and had only seen the flowers growing
in the pots and small garden beds. When he .
was ten years old, he was sent to the house ol
an uncle, who lived in the country lar away
from town.
On the morning alter his arrival, he walked
out with his uncle to look at the many objects
so attractive to the eyes of a city lad. The
chickens, the ducks, and the geese, the cows
and horses, tho sheep and oxen all were looked
at and admired.
•Come, Willy, let us now go into the gar- ■
den, and see the flowers,’ said the kind uncle, I
alter he had shown him all the curiosities oil
the barn-yard. And Willy ran gladly after
his uncle.
• O, see ! what a beautiful flower,’ and \\ illy
stooped down, and was about plucking the bios
som of an offensive weed.
‘ No—no, Willy,’ said his uncle, ‘ don’t
touch that ! It isn’t a sweet flower, only a vile
weed. Come along with me, and I will show
you plenty of real, beautiful, sweet smelling
flowers.’
So Willy went on with his uncle, and soon
caine to the. garden, liiled with the loveliest
flowers of the season.
• Now, my hoy, gather as many as you j
please,’ said his uncle, and Willy soon had bo'h j
hands full of tho sweetest flowers in the gar- j
den.
As they went back to the house, they passed
the gay weed that Willy had stoped to pluck.
• Hut why isn’t that a sweet flower, too, un
ci* ? It is very pretty.’
Willy's uncle stooped down and pulled the
blossoming weed, and handing it to the boy, he i
said— *
• Smell it.’ Willy smelled it, and then j
threw it quickly on the ground.
• Now, smell this rose.’
• Oh, how sweet ! But that weed smelled |
very had.’
1 You now see that there is some difference
between a flower and a weed, fine is not on
ly beautiful to look upon, but its quality is differ
enf, and that quality sends forth a delicious
odor. As you grow older, my dear boy, and
enter into the world as a man, remember how
you were once deceived hy a weed. I)o not j
place confidence in every one who puts on a j
show of goodness—who presents a beautiful j
and attractive exterior —but judge by the odor
that proceeds from them ; that is by the acts that
show forth their true character.’
The Spirit op Discontent. — How univer
sal it is. We never yet knew a man who would
say • I am contented.’ Go where you will, a
mone the rich and poor, the man of competence
or the man who earns his bread by the sweat
ofhis brow, you hear the sound of muttering
and the voice of complaint. The other day
we stood by a cooper, who was playing a mer
ry tune with his adze around a cask.
• Ah ,’sighed he, ‘ mine is a hard lot—forever
trotting round like a dog, driving away at a
hoop.’
Heigho !’ sighed the blacksmith, in one of
the late hot days, as he wiped the drops of per
spiration from his brow’, while the red hot iron
glowed on his anvil—‘this is life with a ven
geance! melting and frying one’s self over a
burning fire !’
‘Oh, that I was a carpenter!’ ejaculated a
shoemaker, as he bent over his lap-stone—
• here am I, day after day, wearing my soul a
way’in making soles for others : cooped up in
this little 7 by 9 room—heigho !’
• I am sick of this out-door work,’ exclaims
the carpenter, ‘broiling under a sweltering sun,
or exposed to the inclemencies of the weather—
if I was only a tailor !’
‘This is too bad !’ perpetually cries tlie tail,
or, ‘to be compelled to sit perched up here
playing the needle all the time—would that
mine was a more active life !’
‘ Last day of grace—banks won’t discount—
customers won’t pay ; what shall I do?’ grum.
hies a merchant. ‘I had rather boa truck
horse, a dog—anything !’ ,
‘Happy fellows!’ groans the lawyer, as he
scratches his head over some perplexing case,
or pores over some dry musty record— ‘ happy
fellows. I had rather hammer stone, than cud
gle my brains on this tedious, vexatious ques
tion.’
And so through all the ramifications of socie
ty—all are complaining of their condition, fin
ding fault with their particular calling, tlf we
were only this, or that, or the other, I should be
content,’ is the universal cry— ‘ anything but
what I am.’ So wags the world—so it has
wagged and so it will wag.
“AS LITTLE GOVERNMENT AS POSSIBLE J THAT LITTLE EMANATING FROM AND CONTROLLED IIY THE PEOPLE, AND UNIFORM IN ITS APPLICATION TO ALL.”:
Tltc Essentials to productive Farmiug.
The following sixteen essentials for product
ive fanning are from the pen of the editor of the
American Fanner, which is wo believe, the
oldest agricultural paper in the United States.
1. Good implements of husbandry, and plen
ty of them, which should always be kept in
perfect order.
2. Deep ploughing, and through pulveriza
tion of the soil, by the free use 01. the harrow,
drag and roller.
9. And application oflime, marl, or ashes,
where calcareous matter or potash may not be
present in the soil.
4. A systematic husbanding of every sub
stance on a farm capable of being converted
into manure, a systematic protection of such
substances from loss by evaparation or waste
of any kind and a careful application of the
same io the lands in culture.
5. The chaining of all wet lands, so ns to re
lieve the roots of the plants, from the ill es.
t'ects of a superabundance of water, a condition
equally pernicious if brought to their healthful
growth and profitable fructification.
6. The free use of the plough, cultivator and
hoe, with all row cultured crops, so as to keep
down, at all times, the growth of grass and
weeds, those pests which prove so destructive
to crops.
7. Seeding at the proper time, with good
seed, and an equal attention as to time, with
regard to the period of working crops.
8. Attention to the construction and repair of
fences, so that what is made through the toils
and anxious cares of the husbandman, may not
be lost through his neglect to protect his crops
from the depredation of stock.
9. Daily personal superintendence, on the
part of the master, overall the operations of
the farm, no matter how good a manager he
may have, or however faithful his hands may
he, as the presence of the head of a farm, and
tho use of his eyes, are worth several pairs of
hands.
10. Labor-saving machinery so that one
may render himself as independent as needful
of neighborhood labor, as a sense of the com
parative independence of the employer upon
such labor begets a disposition of obedience
and faithfulness on the part of the employed.
11. Comfortable stabling and sheds, for the
horses and stock, all necessary out.buildings
for the accomodation of the hands, and protec
tion of tho tools and implements, as well as for
the care of the poultry.
12. Clover and other grasses to form a part
of the rotation of crops, and these to be at the
proper periods ploughed in to form pabulum
for succeeding crops.
13. The clover field to bo either plastered
or ashed each succeeding spring,—one bushel
of the former, and six of the latter, per acre.
14. To keep no more stock than can be well !
kept, but to bo sure to keep a? many as the |
farm can keep in good condition, as it is wise !
policy to feed as much as possible of the crops
grown on the farm, and thus return to it that
fthich has been abstracted from it.
15. To provide, a good orchard and garden—
the one to be filled with choice fruits of all
kinds, the other with vegetables of different
sorts, early and late, so that the table may, at
all times, be well and seasonably supplied, and
the surplus contribute to increase the wealth of
the proprietor.
16. The taking of one or more good agricul
tural papers.
Young France.— A letter to the New York
Herald, written in Paris, says : ‘ Louis Philippe 1
’ has been deposed by boys from twelve to twen
vears of age. Do you doubt this ? It is never
theless Jrue. These are the persons who have
| fought,® led and died to achieve this work. Not
a person of note has been concerned in leading
these revolutionists ; these boys, assisted by the
; laboring classes, and encouraged by the women,
| have chased Louis Phillippe, backed by his 300,
i 000 soldiers, and in spite of his fortifications—
, these are the powers that have chased him from
| the throne of France! lam aware that the
public will not believe so extraordinary a state
j ment; but, notwithstanding, it is true. 1 have
’ visited the posts of danger, have seen the peo
ple who fought, who harracaded the streets
and who have effected this extraordinary revo
i lotion in twenty-four hours, or less than twenty
four hours of fighting.’
Cross old Mrs. Massachusetts— The Bos
! ton Post remarks of this venerable old lady, who
wouldn’t give a dollar to keep her volunteers
from starving, that ‘one time, in her old woman’s
rage, she swore that if Texas came into the Un
ion she would go straight out of it! Well, one
fine morning, young and blooming Texas walk-
I ed right in ever so smiling, was received gra
-1 ciously and lovingly by nearly all the other sis
ters, and there sat cross old Mrs. Massachusetts
with her ‘resolve’ pinned to her apron. But in
stead of walking right out, as she had threatened
the old lady, who loves trade as well as she does
treason, pocketed her‘resolve’ and fell to work
swapping her cotton goods with Texas, free of
duty !’
German Yeast. —The yeast prepared by the
Hungarians will keep for a whole twelvemonth.
During tho summer season they boil a quantity
of wheaten bran and hops in water; the decoc
tion is not long in fermenting, and when this has
taken place they throw a sufficient portion of
bran to form the whole into a thick paste, which
they work into balls that are afterwards dried
by a slow heat. When they are wanted for use
they are broken, and boiling water is poured
upon them, Having stood a proper time, the
fluid is decanted, and is in a fit state for leaven
ing bread,— Johnson’s Encyclopedia of Agricul
ture.

COIaUUIBUS, Georgia, Thni sday Evening, June 1,. f S4S.
. [From Fowler’s American Phrenological ;
President of the Methodist Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn.
The above is a good outline of the head and
features of this distinguished man. His head is
of the largest size, his hat measuring over twen
ty-five inches, inside measure. Ilis hatter in
formed me that he sold no hat so large, and that
he could not get one in this city to suit him.—
When a school-boy, his school-mates were ac
customed to buy apples by the hat-lull; and they
always called for Stephen Olin’s hat, because it
was the largest. The head of Mr. Lewis, of
this city, is near the size of Dr. O.’s head, but
it is much deformed ; while that of the latter is
uniform, well-shaped, and proportioned to his
body. He has a predominance of the vital and
motive temperaments, having a very large and
well-proportioned frame. He is best adapted to
out-door business and exercise—health cannot
well be sustained, in connection with such an
organization, without it; and in this respect his
present calling is not adapted to his physical or
ganization. The natural inquiry that snouTd
arise concerning him, is, Has he mental power
in proportion to the size of his head ? Facts
speak for themselves. The titles attached to
name, and tho position ho holds in society, speak
volumes in his favor, His writings bear strong
testimony for great powers of observation, hav
ing been more accurate than most travellers.—
His labors as a minister, and his individual in
fluence and power to sway the minds of others,
are additional proofs, which influence, all who
know him, give him credit of possessing. His
head i3 favorably developed for a strong, sound,
comprehensive mind, and superior organs for
acquiring knowledge, and understanding the con
dition and quality of things. lie more easily
understands, and more thoroughly presents and
exhausts a subject, than those who have a small
brain.
Supremacy of the Human Animal.— The
fear which all wild animals in America have of
man is very singularly seen in the Pampas. 1
often rode towards the ostriches and gam'ns
crouching under the opposite side of my horse’s
neck; but I always found, that, although they
would allow any loose horse to approach them,
they, even when young, ran from me, though
little of my figure was visible ; and when one
saw them enjoy themselves in such full liberty,
it was, at first, not pleasing to observe, that one’s
appearance was every where a signal to them,
| that they should fly from their enemy. Y’et it is
I by this fear that man hath dominion over the
beasts of the fields ; and there is no animal in
South America that docs not acknowledge this
instinctive feeling. Asa singular proof of the
! above, and of the difference between the wild
! beasts of America and of the Old World, I will
venture to relate a circumstance which a man
sincerely assured me bad happened to him in
South America. lie was trying to shout some
wild ducks, and in order lo approach them un
preccived he put the corner of his poncho ( which
is a sort of long, narrow blanket) over Ids head,
and, crawling along the ground upon his hands
and knees, tho poncho not only covered his
body, but trailed along the ground behind him.
As ho was thus creeping by a large bush of
reeds, he heard a loud, sudden noise, between a
bark and a roar; he felt something heavily
strike his feet; and, instantily jumping up, lie
saw, to his astonishment, a large lion actually
standing on his poncho ; and perhaps the animal
was equally astonished to find hint in the imme
diate presence of so athletic a man. The man
told mo he was unwilling to fire, as his gun was
loaded with very small shot, and he, therefore,
remained motionless, the lion standing on his
poncho for many seconds ! At last the creature
turned his head, and, walking very slowly away
about ten yards, he stopped and turned again.
The man still maintained his ground, upon
which the lion tacitly acknowledged his su
premacy and walked off.— Sir Francis Head's
Jovrney Across the Pampas.
Remedies against Moths. —lt is an old
custom with somo housewives to throw fijlo
their drawers every year, a number of fir cones
undor the idea that their strong resinous smell
might keep away the rnoth. Now, as the odor
of these cones is due to turpentine, it occurred
to Reaumur to try the effect of this volatile li
quid. He rubbed one of a piece of cloth with
turpentine, and put some grabs on the other the
next morning they were all dead, and strange
to say, had voluntarily abandoned their sheaths.
On stqearing some paper slightly with tho oil,
His temperament, however, is not favorable,
to quickness, brilliancy, and impulsiveness, but
he warms up to his subject, gradually ; and, like j
a large stone rolling down hill, gathers strength
and activity as he proceeds. The full pow.
er of his mind is manifested when fair
ly warmed up on subject of great import
ance. His power over the minds of others
arises from two sources: 1. He takes general
and extensive views ol subjects, presenting them
in so plain a light that he is understood without
much mental labor on the part of hearers. 2 :
He. is very successful in awakening the affec
tiens and sympathies of others. His head indi- ;
cates strong attachments, parental feelings, and ;
great application of mind. With a large devel
opement of the moral organs, joined wiih very j
large perceptive faculties, and large reasoning 1
organs, his sympathies, sense of justice, and j
feelings of devotion, are all distinct qualities of 1
mind ; and his brain is largely developed in their
location. He is not naturally proud, visionary,
or witty; but is diffident, and disposed to distrust
hi's own abilities—lacking the sustaining influ
ences of Self-Esteem and Hope.
His very large perceptive faculties, and Com.
parison, furnish him with superior descriptive
talents, for which he is remarkable ; and these,
joined with Causuality and Concentrativenoss,
give him uncommon mathematical and scien
tific talent.. He i3 a great student of nature ; ex- j
amines everything closely, and obtains clear and !
distinct views of things. His Order is very
large.; lie is systematic in all his arragemonts,
seldom makes mistakes, and, from the great size
of Cautiousness, Conscientiousness, Firmness,
and Concentrativcness, I should judge him pru
dent, uniform, circumspect, and consistent, both
in public and private life.
and (lulling this into a bottle with some grubs,
the weakest were immediately killed ; the most
vigorous struggled violently lor two or three j
hours, quitted their sheaths and died in convul-1
sions. It was soon abundantly evident that the j
vapor of oil or spirits of turpentine acts as a ter- j
rible poison to the grubs. Perhaps it may be!
said that even this remedy is worse than the !
disease, but, as Reaumur justly observes, we J
keep away from a newly painted room, or leave i
oft for a few days a coat from which stains have 1
been removed by turpentine, why therefore can
we not once a year keep away for a day or two
from rooms that have been fumigated with tur-!
pentine. It is, however, surprising how small ‘
a quantity of turpentine is required, a small i
; piece of paper or linen justly moistened there,
with, and put into the wardrobe or drawers a
single day, two or three times a year, is a suf
licient preservative against moths. A small
quantity of turpentine dissolved in a little spirits
of wine ( tho vapor of whic h is also fatal to the
moth j will entirely remove tho offensive odor,
and yet be a sufficient preservative. The
fumes of burning paper, wool, linen, feathers,
and leather are also effectual, for the insects
perish in any thick smoke but the most effectu
al smoke is that of tobacco. A coat smelling
but slightly of tobacco is sufficient to preserve
a whole drawer. We trust our fair readers
will not scold us for thus affording their hus
bands or lovers an additional excuse for pre
petuating a bad habit. The vapor of turpen
tine, and the smoke of tobacco, are also effec
tual in driving away flies, spiders, ants, ear
wins, bugs, and fleas. The latter torments
are so abundant on the continent, as frequently
to deprive the weary traveller of his night’s rest.
If ho would provide himself with a phial, con
taining turpentine and spirits of wine in equal
parts, and would sprinkle a few drops over the
sheets and coverlid before retireing to rest, he
will probably have reason to be grateful for
the hint. Foreigners are in the habit of smok
• ing in their bedrooms—a hahit which excites
surprise and disgust in England, it will be seen
however, that there is a reason for the prac
tice.—Sharpe's London Magazine.
Gems from Dodsley. —The man to whom
God hath given riches, and a mind to employ
them aright is peculiarly favored, and highly
distinguished.
He looketh on his wealth with pleasure,
because it affordeth him the means to do good.
He scoketh out objects of compassion; he
inquireth into their wantshtf rclieveth them
with judgment and without ostentation.
, IJe assisteth and rexvardeth merit; he en.

every useful design.
He protecteth the poor that ai? injured ; he

Anecdotes of an Eccentric Preacuf.r.—
Father Andre holds a distinguished place among
those original preachers, whose sermons are
seasoned with bon mots and ingenious sallies.
He generally mingled pleasantry with instruc.
tion in order to entertain his hears. His family
name was Boullanger. He was born at Paris
in 1582, was of the order of reformed Augus
tines, and died in 1657. Some anecdotes will i
serve to illustrate at once the singularity of the
man, ami the license of the times. Once while
ho was preaching in a country church, a pack
of cards flew out of his sleeve, and fell among
the audience. Every one began laughing.
The preacher, without being in the least dis
concerted, called on the larger children that
happened to be there, to collect them together;
and as they brought them inquired how the dif
ferent cards were called. The answers were
all promptly given. He then put some ques
tions out of his catechism, which, however,
they were unable to reply to. Then address,
ing the fathers and mothers—‘ls it thus,’ said
he, ‘ you neglect the education of your children? I
Y r ou introduce them into the vanities of life, I
and by criminal carelessness, permit them to !
lose their immortal souls.’ The impression
produced was powerful, and every'one preceiv.
ed that the card* were brought purposely to in
troducc this pathetic appeal!
! Declaiming the same day against the gallant
|ry of ladies, whose manners at that time were
j very corrupt, he said there was one in the con
l gregation whose licentiousness was known to
| him, and that he was going to point out, that
■i she might be covered with confusion for her
j sins. ‘But no,’said he, checking himself,‘l !
will not blame her; Christian charity forbids.— 1
And yet, shall I compromise vice ? No! What
then shall Ido to remove the difficulty ? I will
hit her with my culotte,’ ( a leathern cop which
was worn in his day. ) As he said this, he
suddenly raised as if about to throw, and added,
‘Look ! look ! there she is just there !’ All the
women in front of the pulpit dodged to “scape
j the threatened blows when the preacher cried
j out, • Goodness ! I thought there was only one
and there are more than a hundred !’
Being requested to announce a subscription
in order to raise a sufficient sum to procure the
inflation of a young woman into a sisterhood,
which was then required of females taking the
veil, he commenced his sermon ; ‘ Sirs, I urn
instt uctod to reccommend to your charity a mai
den who has not cash enough to take the vows
of poverty.’
The facetious monk once began a sermon
with, ‘ The pope is grass, the king is grass, the
queen is grass, monsieur is grass, tho cardinal
is grass, you are grass, I mn grass, all flesh is
grass !’
Preaching in a monastery which had recent
ly been struck with lightning, Father Andre ex
patiated upon the goodness of God, who took,
as he would show, special care of his children.
‘ For,’said he, ‘among other evidences, con
sider what has happened to this holy house in
which lam preaching. The lightning struck
the library and consumed it, but injured not a
single monk. If however, it had unfortunately
fallen upon tho dining-room or buttery, how
many brethren would have been killed ! how
many tears shed ! what desolation would have !
ensued ! Thanks, Omy God! eternal thanks, (
for the regard which thou dost show to thy
elect.’
Turn About. —Two Yankees were strolling
in the woods without arms in their possession,
and observing a bear ascending a tree with its
large paws, clasped round the trunk, one of
them ran torward and caught the bear’s pawc,
one in each hand. He instantly bawled out to
his comrade :
‘Jonathan, I say go home and bring me
something as fast as you can, till 1 kill the varmint, i
Mind don t stay, for I’m in a fix.’
Jonathan ran off as fast as he could, but was
an exceedingly long time returning. During
tho interval the bear made several desperate
attempts to bite the hands who held it. At
length Jonathan returned.
‘Helloo Jonathan, what the deuce has kept
you ?’
Jonathan replied : ‘Well, I’ll tell you, when
at home, breakfast was about ready, and I gues
sed it would be as well to wait for it.’
‘Here now, Jonathan,’ said his companion,
‘come you and hold it, and I’ll kill the critter in
a jiffy-.’
Jonathan seized the bear’s paws, and held
the animal while the other could kill it.
•Well, Jonathan have you got hold of him ?’
‘I guess I have,’ replied Jonathan.
‘Very well hold him fast ; I guess I’ll go to
dinner !’

j o'clock. —This being the day fixed for the open
j ing of the National Assembly, the rappel beat
at an early hour in the different quarters, and
the National Guard soon after wards assembled
at their respective places of rendesvous. At 11
o’clock all the battalions had assumed the sta
tions assigned to them, from the place Vendoroe,
| along the Boulevards, the Place de la Concorde,,
land round the palace of the Assembly. The
j entire forco underarms was estimated at about
35,000 men. The crowd assembled on the
Place de la Concorde, and in the neighbor
hood of the palace was considerable. The
blouses were in a great majority, but their atti
tude was perfectly inoffensive.
The edifice specially constructed for the As

Palace of the Chamber of Deputies, by which it
communicates by two glass galleries. The
hall is of a rectangular form, but the portion
facing the board of the President is circular.—
j It is about forty yards In length, and twenty
| seven in width.
| The Deputies began to enter the half about
] noon. Very few wore the official costume, and
the white waistcoat ala Robespierre, and not
one appeared with the tri-colored scarf. The
aspect of the Assembly differed very little from
that of the former chamber. Among the Dep
uties of the former Chamber present were
Messrs. Odillon Barrot, Blin de Bourbon, Is

Shortly afterwards the cannons of the inva.

of the Provisional Government, and the depu
ties proceeded to their seats. In the meantime
a rush was made at one of the doors by a num
| ber of the National Guards who attempted to
force their way into the hall. M. Chateaurc
nard, the governor of the palace, ran to the
door, and declared that no armed person should
enter without passing over his body. All ap
plauded his firmness, and quietly retired.
At that moment the drums of the National
Guard were heard to beat to arms, and the of
