The following letter from Hood to a young friend at the sea-side, is a pleasant instance of the geniaJ humor in which he could devote himself to the amusement of a child, as well as to chasing away the lines ot care from older brows. It is from his recently published Memoirs: My Dear May—How do you do, and how do you like the sea? not much perhaps, it’s “so big.” But shouldn't you like a nice little ocean, that you could put in a pan? Vet the sea, although it looks rather ugly at lirst, is very useful, and if I were near it this dry summer, I would carry it all home to water the garden with at Stratford, and it would be sure to drown all the blights, May-flies and all! I remember that when I saw the sea, it used some times to be very fussy and fidgetty, and did not always wash itself quite clean ; but it was very fond of fun. Have the waves never run after you yet, and turned your little shoes into pumps, full ot water? Ifyouwanta joke you might push Dunttie into the sea, and then fish for him as they do for a Jack. But don’t go in yourself, and don’t let the baby go in and swim away, although he is the shrimp of the family. Did you ever taste of the sea-water? The fishes are so fond of it they keep drinking it all the day long. Dip your little finger in, and then suck it to see how it tastes. A glass of it warm, with su gar, and a grate of nutmeg, would quite astonish you 1 The water of the sea is so saline, I wonder nobody catches salt fish in it. I should think a good way would be to go out in a butter-boat, with a little melted for sauce. Have you been bathed yet in the sea, and were you afraid ? I was the first time and the time before that ; and dear me, how I kicked, ami screamed —or at least meant to scream, but the sea, ships and all, begau to run into my mouth, and so I shut it up. I think I see you dipped in the sea, screwing your eyes up, and putting your nose, like a button, into your mouth, like a buttonhole, for fear of getting an other smell and taste! By the bve, did you ever dive your head under water with your legs up in the air like a duck, and try whether you could cry “ ljuack ?” Some animals can ! I would try, but there is no sea here, and so I am forced to dip into books. I wish there were such nice green bills here as there are at Sandgate. They must be very nice to roll down, especially if there arc no furze bushes to prickle one at the bottom! Do you remember how the thorns stuck in us like a penn’orth of mixed pins at Wanstead ? 1 have been very ill, and am so thin now I could stick myself into a prickle. My legs in particular are so wasted away that somebody says my pins are only needles; and I am so weak, I dare say you could push me down on the floor, and right through the carpet, unless it was a strong pattern. 1 am sure if I were at Sandgate, you could carry me to the post office and fetch my letters. Talking of carrying, I suppose you have donkeys at Sandgate, and ride about ou thgn. Mind aud always call them “ donkeys,” for if you call them asses, it might reach some long ears! I knew a donkey once that kicked a man for calling him Jack instead of John. There are no flowers, I suppose on the beach, or I*yould ask you to bring me a bouquet as you used akStratford. But, there are little crabs ! If you would catch one for me, and teach it to dance the polVa, it would make me quite happy; for I have not lad any toys or play things in a long time. Did yVi ever try, like a little crab, to run two ways at ftpee ? See if you can do it, for its good fun ; nerter mind tumbling yourself a little at first. It would be a good plan to hire a little crab, for an hour ft day, to teach baby to crawl if he can’t walk, and, if I was his mamma, 1 would too! Bless him. But I must not write on.him any more—he is so soft, and I have nothing but steei pens. And now good bye; Fanny has made my tea, aud I must drink it before it get 9 too hot, as we all were last Suudav week. They say the glass was 88 in the shade, which is a great age! The last fair breeze 1 blew -dozens of kisses for you, but the wind changed, and 1 am afraid took them all to Miss II , or somebody that it shouldn’t. Ciiwe my love to everybody and my compliments to all the rest; ami remember, 1 am, my dear May, your loving friend, Thomas Koon. Ip. g. Don’t forget my little crab to dance the polka, and pray write to ue as soon as you can’t, if it’s only a line. - .. Importance of Salt In. Agriculture. It we should ask why so enormous a quantity of this inestimable gify of salt is distributed through out the earth ; why three-fourth3 of the the planet designed for the home of man is cover ed with it; the answer would be, —in order to pre serve the work of nature, to enable man the niore readily to sustain himself, and to make hioi wealth ier and better, it has become aif indispensable condition for the existence of man, and his eivili zafion. In all organic beings we meet with two processes—that of life and that of decomposition —the latter begining its full activity afier the for mer has achiered its end, at the moment when or gauic beings are dissolved into those constituents from which the plant was formed and nourished. If however we intend to check, or at least delay decomposition, we must employ acids, for we know that the Creator formed of the sea-salt a mighty barrier against the immeasurable mass of water becoming putrid ; we know that our stoeks of flesh, grease, Ac., are preserved by the application of salt; that cabbage-water, acids in geueaal, afid kitubep-salt are the means employed by the agri culturist against septic diseases in our domestic animals, and against diseases of the mouth aud feet. The separation of milk and deposit of meat will be increased by the application of salt, thus forming an essential means for the promotion of cattle-raising, fly the application of salt, the fruits, especially wine, will become much better; and even the ancients were in the habit of throwing salt on their grounds, their vineyards, and fruit trees. Agricultural chemistry informs us that the simplest combinations through which nourishment is conveyed to plants consist in acids, alkalies artd alkaline substances. Animal chemistry shows that free muriatic acid and kitchen-salt form the principal constituents of the contents of the stom ach. In a French prize paper, by Dr. Desaive, on the manifold advantages of the use of salt in agricul ture, the following results have been laid down by the celebrated French veterinary surgeon, Grog niez: Common salt serves as a preventive of the fer mentation and heating of hay, which has been heaped up in large stacks during wet weather.— Forty quintals of hay require fifteen pounds salt, to be strewn among it in alternate layers. This effect is much better shown in straw, which, if intended to be used as fodder, by being mois tened with salt water, may be preserved for a long time, when it can be given to cattle instead of hay, a method in use among the ancients. Leaves of trees, when put in ditches with salt, may be prevented for a long time from putrefac tive fermentation, and will even makegood forage. Intelligent farmers of Mount d’Orlyonais are iu the habit of thus preserving tlieir vine leaves as fodder for goats. Fodder of inferior quality, for instance, straw, or other kinds, soaked and bleached by rain and sun, cured too late or become woody, may be ren dered more palatable and easy of digestion by be ing salted. A pound of salt in three quarts of water is required for a quintal of bad hay. The sharp taste which the milk of cows usually assumes in consequence of beets, turnips, and white cabbage being continually fed to them, can be removed by salting those vegetables. In Flanders, common salt is strewn on new and wet oats, to be fed to horses, and, thus prepared, win not be dangerous to the animals. The same application may also be made to hay newly har vested, to prevent injuries when it may become necessary to feed such bay, the moisture of which has not been fnllv evaporated. Though the h*<l yet, oy giving a sprinkling of salt water, they will be diminished to a considerable degree. This fact will be of ad vantage to the farmer whenever he may be in want of appropiate fodder. Bv means of salt, such water as otherwise could not be used for cattle for drinking, will be render ed proper. The great advantages to be derived from com mon salt with regard to the health of cattle, have bpen clearly shown by many experiments made by that learned and celebrated agriculturist of Al sace, M. Bousshigault. Cattle, by being fed with salt receive a soft aud glossy skiD, their digestion and appetite are in good order, and they increase in flesh and strength. Cows thus fed yield much milk, while those treated otherwise have dull skins, with rough hairs, exhibit less appetite, produce a smaller amount of flesh, and yield not only infe rior quantity, but also quality, of milk. Manure from cattle fed with salted fodder is al so of a better quality. Finally, manuring with salt will banish mosses and hurtful parasitical plants from meadows. [ U. S. Patent Office Report. [COMMCSICATtn.] Agricnlturc in Bibb Comity. From the position of our county geographical ly, its present and prospective importance, it would seem the time had arrived when our citizens should arouse themselves to the necessity of pro moting our agriculture. Other counties, in this and other States having far less importance, have their Agricultural, Horticultural and Pomological Societies, and are using every laudible means for the promotion of their objects. There is no rea son why we may not have a flourishing Agricultu ral Association, from which great benefit may aud will result. Practical Agriculture in our county is not confined to men of ignorance, a9 some ig norantly suppose. Some of our ablest men, men tally, are farmers; ’tis true, they make not that display that other occupations might require; they study the operations of nature’s laws, as ap plied to their special calling. The pteparalions of of soils—the application of manures, special and general, and the cultivation of the various crops —the habits &e., of fruits and plants, all call for continued thought and research. While on the one hand, many farmers are op posed to every thing like innovation, and prefer to tread the beaten track of centuries, and cannot be changed. On the other, there are those who arc willing to receive instructions from any aud every source, to avail themselves of all the discov eries of science, and to lessen labor by the use of labor saving machines. The latter outstrip the former in achieving a high position in their calling, and reap the benefits of their efforts and success. Nothing has caused Hancock County to take the high position she has, and the lead in the whole South iu the cause of Agriculture, but the interestt aroused among her citizens by her Agri cultural Society. For seventeen years, and I know not how much longer, they have had an Agricul tural Society in that county, and as a consequence, behold what has been achieved! Lands a few years sinee considered valueless, are now valuable and productive, —lands cleared for many years are now producing better crops without manure, than the same lauds produced twenty years ago. Why may not like results be accomplished in Bibb V A portion of her lands are as productive as those of Hancock, she has men ot energy, en terprize and perseverance, and one of titem, at last, has secured a larger average yield, per acre, of wheat, than I have heard of elsewere, in this latitude. The formation of an Agricultural Socie ty might bring to light facts showing like, or even greater results. „ . , . Iu the Southern Cultivator for April, one ot the editors gives a gratifying account ot meeting with the Agricultural Society of our neighboring county, Monroe. In consequence of the increased interest in agriculture there, lands have appreci ated from 30 to 40 per cent, and last year, there was shipped from that county, besides that which was necessary for home consumption, 30,U00 bush els of wheat. ... .. Let us act early and earnestly m the matter, it is high time, and’our county may make develope meuts not now dreamed of. A Bibb Cocnty Farmer. Redpatb, the English black-republican who has gone to the congenial society of the sooty Havtiens, writes from their Island to the 1 ribunt the following interesting paragraph : “A splendid oil-painting of John Brown, which, in behalf of Mr. Hyatt, I have presented to the Frcsiuent of Uayti, now hangs in the palace side by side with a life size portrait of the Abbe Gregoire, iu the Hall of Audience. In the palaoe there are also four bust B—of 8 —of Gregoire, .Boyer, Potion, and John Brown. The bust of the Ameri can philanthropist is erowned with a laurel wreath. “ If we produce one or two more such heroes as John Brown, the Haytien proverb, ‘ Blanc e'est diable —‘ white! it is the devil’—will fall into disrepute. Speed the day when it shall be for gotten.” * * VOLUME XXXVIII.—NO. 28. A Wide Awake Wife.

I want to know now ; its near enough morning to know where ones husband has been all night, and jtar lieularl v if he comes home perfumed clear through is you are. You mustn’t good wife me. That won t answer. Suppose you were a woman, anil yo.ur husband should go off every night in the week, ami come home as you do, and—C wish you’d get up and let some fresh air into the room, or I shall certainly suffocate—what would you sav? Don’t you imagine there would ho a row in the family? Been ;J.th the Wide Awakes? I should think as much. You’re a wide awake fool, that’* what you are.

Didn’t you swear that you’d shoot yonrself if I didn’t take pitv on vou? I’m sorry I didn’t allow you to shoot, or hang, or drown yourself. It would have been the best thing I ever did in my life. What is it smells so ? Kothiug ? Don’t tell me nothing ;it never smelled so in the world. Had to carry a torch ? That’s sweet business for a man who pretends to be the father of a large family. Next thing I shall ex pect to hear of you is, that you’ve been splitting rails for general circulation. I know n diking ahout politics ? Don’t eh ? I don’t want to know nothing about poetics, if X have to neglect my family and carry stinking torches for the benefit of a lazy man in Illinois who is trying to be Presi dent. Want to sleep? I thought you were a Wide- Awake. I suppose you have kept awake to night on whiskey, havn’t you ? Where have you been all this time ; the town clock Las just struck three. Been to Tonaivanda to raise a liln'rtq pole ! That’s a sweet note. Why didn’t the Wide Awakes ot* Tonawanila raise their own pole ? I ’xpeot repub licans are scarce in that section, and you’ve been trying to make a great splurge. Weil, you can’t fool anybody.. I believe I know something about politics myself, and I know that you are drunk. That’s what you are. Must go to sleep , must you? Why didn’t you think of that before? I’ve had no sleep to-night, and you never once thought of me. You’re an old brute, and just such a man as ought to vote for an old rail-splitter. Vote for Breckinridge if I let you alone ? Mr. Breckin ridge don’t want such votes. lie will be elected without your vote. But now that you show signs of returning reason, I’ll let you go to sleep. Practical Joking. A great many years ago, before the introduction of steam navigation into the waters of Long Island ►Sound, Captain Thayer, whose name will be re membered by many of our readers as one of the pioneer captaius in steamboat travel, commanded a sloop in thejwaters of saunton river. One morn ing being at the lauding in Berkley, and having occasion to cross 10 the other side, he eutered a barn or shed where the boat’s oars were kept with which he was to cross. A..^uo*it-iiis C ol uitiabitanls of that benighted town, he accordingly picked up the warm egg, and wrote on its susceptible shell with his pencil, “Woo to the town of Berkly,” and replacing the egg left, the barn. In due time the nest was cleared of its eggs, and the one bearing the inscription discovered. The wonderful news was at once “telegraphed” from house to house through the town, and before night hundreds had journeyed to the spot to see it for themselves. Consternation was depicted on every countenance in view of the impending calamity which they were certain the phenomenon denoted. It finally occurred to them to ask counsel of their pastor in this their hour of terror. Parson A. was accordingly sent for, and arriving the cause of alarm was made known to him, backed up by an exhibition of the egg. The parson examined it attentively, after which he laid it down, and for many minutes seemed lost in reflection, llis parishoners thought they saw in this fresh cause for alarm, and one and an other would ejaculate, in hoarse whispers, “ The Lord wrote it! the Lord wrote it!” At length the old man rose as if to address them, and, stretching to his full height, exclaimed, “If the Lord wrote that, he didn’t know how to spell Berkley 1” and, bidding them good day, he walked off. Their eyes were opened, and they saw in it at once the trick of some mischievous wag, but it was not till some time afterwards that they found out the author, to whom they ever afterwards owed a grudge.—New port XttCS. Not Ashamed of Bum! lea. We have often heard a half grown boy say pettishly to his mother, 1 don’t like to be seen carrying a big bundle in the streets.” But true pride is ashamed of anch litt’eness of mind. Mr. Astor, the wealthy millionaire of New York, once was reluctant to sell some goods to a young merchant, except for cash. The merchant paid for them, and then took them on his own shoulder to carry to his store. Mr. Astor looked on in sur prise, but before the merchant had gone many steps, he called him back, saying—“ You may buy on credit to any amount. I can trust you, sir. A man who is not ashamed to do bis own work is sure to succeed.” Here is another good lesson for false pride: Chief Justice Marshal was a great man : but great men are never proud. He was not too proud to wait upon himself. He was in the habit of going to market himself carrying home his pur chases. Often would lie be seen going home at sunrise, with poultry in one band and vegetables in the other. On one of these occasions, a fashionable young man from the North who had removed to Rich mond, was swearing violently because be could find no one to carry homo his turkey. Judge Marshall stepped up ami asked where he lived.— When he heard, he said : “That is in my way ; I will take your turkey home for you.” When they came to the house, the young man asked: “What shall I pay you ?” “Oh, nothing,” said the Judge, “you arc wel come ; it was all in my way, and it was no trouble to me.” “Who is that polite Old man, who brought home iny turkey forme?” asked the young man of a by-stander. “Oh,” said he, “that is Judge Marshall, Chief Justice of the United States. ’ “Why did he bring home my turkey ?” “I suppose he did it,” said the by-standcr, “to teach you not to feel above attending to your own business.”— Monthly L'ctiket. A Fast Bot. —“Stanley,” said widower Brown to his hopeful of fifteen summers, “I want you to stay home this evening.” • “ What for, Pap! where are you going. “That’s a very pertinent question for a son to propound to his father, I will have to answer it. lam going to pay my respects to Miss Sallie Patterson this evening.” < Xo you don’t Pap, I am going to see the same iral at the same time.” So saying young Stanley took up his hat and walked, leaving his worthy father confounded. Stock Raising. —From an article upon this topic in the Field and Fireside , we make the following brief extract: It is choice cows, sheep, horses, and mules, that yield the greatest returns to skillful nusbandmen. The production of scrubs, or mean stock of any kind, is rather a mean business, in a pecuniary point of view. Raise superior animals on rich perennial grasses, if you seek a good in come from yoar farm stock husbandry. Such animals may obtain part of their living from un improved old fields, particularly sheep; but they want trood clover and pea hay in the winter, or bar made from the English grasses. The most orominent error in stock growing, is the attempt jo rear fine hogs, cattle, and sheep, on scanty and defective food. Some want a great deal of meat, milk, or wool from little cr nothing. They ask nature to make them rich, while they lie in th*i shade in summer, and ait by the fire in winter, arid leave their poor animals to nearly o quite peristi from neglect,
