Good nature—yes, t is a gift Of loveliness and might— A rudder when the heart’s adrift To steer it towards the light.

These may be qualiiies superb To grace a courtier’s brow, But truth should never wear a curb Nor unto fiilsehuod bow. All nature speaks; the placid stream When the loud uiud mutters hoarse, Forgets awhile the sunny beam And thunders in its course.

The good people of Boston shook their heads and shrugged theii shoulders. They had been so accustomed to witches, and goblins, and tricks of the devil in all kinds of shapes, from the first settlement, of the colony, that they were not so much horror struck as might have been expected. ’ J • tees were appointed to take charge of Tom’s effects. There was nothing, however,to administer upon. On searching his coffers all his bonds and mortgages were found reduced to cinders. In place of gold and silver, his iron chest was filled with chips and shavings; two skcltons lay in bis stable instead of his balf-starvecl horses, and the very next day his great home took tire and was burned to the ground. Such was the end of Tom Walker and his ill-gotten wealth. Let all griping mon ey brokers lay the story well to heart. The trutli is not to be doubted. The very hole under the oak trees from whence he dug Ridrl*s money, is to be seen to tiiis day, and the neighboring swamp and the old Indian fort is often haunted in stormy nights by a figure on horseback, in a morning gown As Tom waxed old however, he thoughtful. Having secured the good an( j w }jjt e cap, which is doubtless the trou- things ot this world, he began to feel ; bled spirit of Llie usurer. In fact, the story ious about those ot the next. He thought j jag reso j vet j itself into a proverb, and is with regret on the bargain lie had made . ^ or jgj n 0 f popular saying through out New England of “the Devil and Tom Walker.” with his black friend, and put his wits to j work to cheat him out of his conditions. He became, therefore, all of a sudden, a violent church goer. He prayed loudly aud strenuomly as if heaven were to be carried by force of lungs. Indeed one might always tell when be had sinned How much Pork will a Bushel of Corn make. This I consider an important question, and o.ne that all farmers ought to be able to most during the week by the clamor of his j ans wer. I will answer the question by giv- Sundav demotion! The quiet Christians ing the result of an actual experiment, which who had been modestly and steady trav- is the only way of obtaining correct iufor- ellin<r Zionward, were struck with self-re- mation. Some years ago 1 was desirous of proach at seeing themselves so suddenly obtaining information as to the best and outstripped in their career, by this new ] most profitable way of fattening bogs. I made convert. Tom was as rigid in relig- j inquired of my neighbors and friends, and ion as in money matters; he was a stern su-. found some in favor of close floored pens, pervisor and censurer of his neighbors, aud seemed to tbink every sin entered up to their account became a credit on his page. Heeven talked of the expediency of reviv and others large dry lots, and as to the’ a- mount of pork a bushel or a barrel of corn would make, their opinions were as various as their countenances. I was just beginning mgthe persecution of the Quakers and the j to form, and as I was desirous of knowing Anabaptists. In a word, Tom’s zeal be-j the best way of fattening hogs, I determined came as his riches. j to try the, different plans, and also how Still, in spite of his strenuous attention j much pork a barrel of corn would make, to forms, Tom had a lurking dread tbat the ? | I made a floored pen and covered it in. devil after all, would have his due.

Some says Tom grew a little cracked brained in bis older days, and that, fancy ing bis end approaching, he-Jiad his horse new shod, saddled and bridled, and buried bis feet uppermost; because that, at the last day the world would be turned upside : down, in which case be would find his horse ready Tor mounting, and be was determin ed at the worst to give his old friend a run for it. This, however, is probably a mere old wife’s fable. If he really did take this J irecaution, it was totally superfluous at east, so says the authentic old legend, which closes his story in the following man ner : One hot afternoon jn the dog days, just as a terrible black thunder gust came up, Tom sat in his counting house in his white linnen cap and India silk morning gown. He was on the point of foreclosing a mort- gage, by which he would complete the ruin of an unhappy speculators fori whom he had professed the greatest friendship. The poor land jobber begged him to grant a a few months indulgence. Tom had grown testy-and irritated, and refused another day. with a plenty of salt and water. The av erage garn was 75 lbs. The hogs in the lotrgained the most. One that fattened in the lot gained 88 lbs. One in the pen gain ed 84 lbs.; the other four were not so thrif ty. These hogs were about fourteen months old when slaughtered. . I put them up the 25th of October. There was a good deal of sleet and snow during the month of Novem ber, which gave the hogs in the pen an ad vantage they would not hav<3 had if the weather was favorable; they eat the same quantity of grain in the same time. It also shows that one bushel of corn will make 15 lbs. of pork and that the six barrels of corn made $11 25 worth of pork, at' 12 1-2 cents per lb.; and that the farmer gets 12 1 2 cents for his labor of feeding per busrh el, over selling at 25 Cents per bushel. Hogs will fatten faster in September and October than they will in colder' weajther. A few years ago 1 fed one barrel of corn to a very fine Berkshire hog that was about thirty months old (shortly after being cas trated) in ther months of August and Sep tember, and he gamed 97 lbs. in 35 days, which was the length of time he was eating the barrel of corn. He ran on a clover lot, which was of great advantage. This last experiment is considerably over an average, and would not hold good with common hogs. From the above experiment it will grain in ordvr to keep up and improve it, 1 Lave no hesitation in saying that it is bet ter for the farmer to raise pork at $2 50. than to sell corn at 25 cents per bushel. Hogs do best in large fields with plenty of water,'and.the farmer who cuts up his corn in the month of September and Octo ber, and hauls it out on his fields, will be amply repaid for his labor in the improve* ment of his land froin the stalks and ma nure of bis hogs. It is a great saving of labor to turn the hogs iu the field when the quantity of hogs and size of the fiekl suit. W. M. JACKSON. ''Fayette, Mo. Aug. 10,1853. Valley Farmer. ISlcctioucering in Alabama. My friend competitor Allen was a candi date for a seat in the Legislature, this last summer., before the sovereigns of County. He didn’t get elected—nor did he expict to be; only ran in order to show his scars in another sort of race before the General Assembly. Well, Allen and his friends ‘crowded things smartly’ up to and on the day of the election. On that day, one Cook, (a bit of a wag.) took charge of a voter whom we may call Padlock, with a view to get his ‘unbiassed suffrage’ for our friend Allen. But it had so happened, that Allen some months before had assisted in prosecuting Padlock in four or five malicious mischief cases; and in the course of a speech made by him, in one of them, he bestowed upon poor Padlock such a character as I humbly trust would be eutirely too black for any one of the 200 inmates of our Peni tentiary. Of all the villains then unhung, Padlock, according to that speech, was Ion- go intervallo, the greatest; and really the juries which had the cases seemed to con cur ‘to some extent,’ for Padlock was con victed in all the cases, and as a consequence, incarcerated for an indefinite number of cal endar months. ‘On this state of facts,’ the aforesaid Cook sought to obtain Padlock’s vote for Allen. ‘You must vote for him,’ quoth he; ‘you are a Southern Rights man and so is he?’ ‘Southeru Rights may be d d; and he may be d d; and you may be d—-—d, before I’ll do it! Reckon I’ll vote for a man that called me a thievin’ horse-shaver! and a midnight assassin of buggic-s! and a smooth-skinned, no-tailed, two-legged hound! No, by thunder?’ re turned Padlock.. ‘Well, but see here, Pad; Allen is a law yer, and was employed against you, and had to do his duty.’ ‘No advantige,’ said Pad with a wink; pm employed against him, now.’ ‘Oh, you jackass, don’t you see you are killing your own side, by acting this way,’ rejoined Cook, petulantly. . ‘Ami?’ ‘To be sure you arc!’ “Well,’ said Pad, very thoughtfully and slowly; ‘well—d d—ef—I—care.” It occurred to Cook, now that he had bet ter change bis tactics. Quo‘h he—. ‘It’s very-true, Pad that Allen did. talk hard about you, but he did’nt do you half as bad as he did Tims, the prosecutor in those cases against you. My God?’—here Cook drew a deep sigh—‘I wouldn’t do anybody as Allen did Tims, for a thousand dollars!’ ‘How’s that?’ asked Pad, eagerly. ‘Why,’ replied Cook, ‘Tims, owed him his fee for prosecuting, you and Allen bailed him for it.’ . . ‘Is that all? pshaw!’ ‘No, sir! he bailed him—then be took out a judicial attachment against him— Pad’s countenance brightened. ‘And then he took him with a ea. sa. . ‘Anything else?’asked Pad, in full gnn. ‘Oh ves! Tims swore out on the ca. sa. and I heard Allen say to him, ‘Now, sir, leave the county in twenty-four hours, or L11 prosecute you for peijury. I prosecuted Padlock for you, and I’ve got no pay. Pad lock is'as d-* ■—d a rascal as ever stole corn, but he is a perfect white man by the side of ef that is the way he does jestice.twist mrn and uihii, Tin for him rill inv heels fly up!’ And Allen got Padlock’s vote. Now leH me, ‘Spirit avourneen, what chauce does your rustic correspondent stand in a contestwith a man who gets votes in tliAt way?—The Spirit of the Times. A Vermonter. As. we were sitting in the picture gallery of the Crystal Palace, taking nit-moranda of its contents, a tall ill-dressed Vermonter, attracted probably by the benignity of Our visage, addressed us: ‘ Stranger, what mought they charge to’ let a teller in this ’ere show ?” “Why do yon ask ; you paid at the en trance, did you not ?” • "Yaa-a-s! [didn't pay nothin’ef yew see anythin’ green ’bout me, jest you write will yew?”* “fioiv did you gain adminttance then ?’ ’‘Wa-a a’.l, yew eee 1 rinded with a boy ouLthere for a Herald, and gin him an ex try cent to holler ‘fire.!’; and then the man with the brass thing on his coat looked a- round, I kinder edged in behind him.’ Cf course we expressed our indignation, and were about to leave him, when he seiz ed our button hole, saying quickly : “Say, Mister, don’t be riled, guess'they’l never miss it. Yew talk so-Jtll-tired honest "uess you must be a newspaper feller; been takin’ notes ain’t youl^Fve beard ’bout this short band.’ We assented; and be resumed : “Mought yewr name be Greely, Mister ? because I seed a nigger wench look just like a fewgiri‘i;e nigger; and ef she is, it’s a bully chance for you to spread—won’t cost nothin,’ anther.’ We denied that imputation, when -he continued $ “I alwayr liked newspaper chaps ’cause they are so clever. Been in the fine arts myself; taught school three winters—eighteen dollais a month and boarded ’reound.’ We next stopped to view the fine speci mens of perfumery, among which were bust made of solid soap. “Hollo 1’ said Yankee, uosing the goods, “guess there is made of gravesitun, ain’t they ?’ “No, they are made of soap.” Before we could prevent him he had pinched it to satisfy himself. “Wa a all, guess it is, it feels soporiferous, any way; smells rale apocryphal tew, don’t it ? jest like old Mr. Slocum’s ’pothecary shop tew hum.’ A few steps bruught us to the statuary, where a number of persons were silently ga zing at Power’s statue of the Greek Slave. “Mister,” said he, after a moment’s in spection, pointing to the chains upon her wrists, ll iohals that critter hoppled for? The bystanders roard; and we endeavor- to exolain to him the nature of the subject; and to prevent him from handling it as he was bent upon doing, pointed to the pla card requesting visitors “not to touch the articles.” “Don’t touch the articles repeated.he, “ Why, she ain't got the first darned article on her /’ We left.—Journal of Commerce. you •Talkenough!’ shouted Padlock; ‘give me the ticket, Cook. 1 was against him, but A Simple Cure for Stajhmering.—Mr. Wakefield, at an inquest held lately in En gland, states that a few days before, the summoning officer told him it would be useless summoning one witness, a lad, be cause he stuttered so excessive that he could hardly articulate the shortest-sen tence in half an hour.. Mr. Wakefield, how ever, _hai him called, and telling him that a shot could not be without powder, so words could not come from the mouth un less the lungs had their powder, viz, air: be told the lad to inhale air, or draw his breath strongly, and the boy having done so, Mr. W. asked him : ‘Can you talk now?’ The boy, to the surprise of the jury, an swered immediately and glibly: ‘Yes, sir, I can—well.’ The coroner added that inhalation, * or self-inflation, of the lungs with air, was a sure remedy for stammering; and though it had been discovered long ago, the faculty had not until lately, and then only a few of hem, caused it to be practiced as a rente* y for defective articulation. Two Irishmen went into a grocery store One of them said to the storekeeper— ‘Will ye be after giving me a shilling’s worth of tea and a loaf of bread?’ The store keeper put up the articles and handed them to Pat. Long life to yer honor; much obliged to ye,’ said Pat as be turned to go out. But, said the storekeeper, ‘we want the pay.’ ‘An, share I asked yer honor to give oe the things and ye did and Mike Maloney is witness to it,’ said Pat and they left the store. An Irishman was brought up before a late magistrate for the East Riding of York shire on a charge of vagrancy aud was thus questioned— “What trade are you?” ^ “Trade” said Pat, “sure now yer hondiM Pm a salt sailer” “Yon in the seafaring life? I question much whether you have ever been to sea in your lifer” “By the piper o’ moses? and does yer honor think 1 came over from onld Ireland in a wagon?” “Commit him.” “There is no telling what a day will bnn forth,” as Mr Day.s&id when Mrs Day twins.
