My Mother’s Song—Sweet Home.
Haw oft we hear those simple words
We hear them breathed in song,
When music bursts from happy hearts
That still to joy belong!
When rosy beams of daylight dawn,
Or when the shadows fall,
We bear the gladsome echoes tell
“Sweet Home” hath charms for all!
Those simple words! That plaintive aii*!
My mother sang the strain
In days gone past, in happy days
That may not come again !
She sang it by the household hearth,
Our father sitting by,
And smiles were playing on Itis lips/
But tear-drops filled his eye’
“On earth there is no place like home,” '
She taught my lips to say,
But all that made my home so dear
Long since hath passed away!
We hear no more her gentle voice
At morning or at even ;
She has an angel’s golden harp !
Her song is heard iu Heaven !
I hear it sting by others now,
And o’er my soul the while
Steal memories sadly sweet that bring
A tear-drop and a smile!
And oh ! ’fis sweet e’en now to hear
Those thrilling murmurs fall,
‘Home, sweet, sweet home!’ ’tis not of earth!
Heaven hath a home for all!
Spring.
A bursting into greenness,
A waking as from sleep,
A tw itter and a warble,
That make the pulses leap ;
A sense of renovation,
Of freshness and of health,
A casting off of sordid fear,
A carelessness of wealth.
A watching as in childhood,
For the (low ers that one by one
Open their golden petals
To woo the fitful snn;
A gush, a flash, a gurgle;
A wish to shout and sing;
As Hilled with hope and gladness,
We hail the vernal Spring.

notions among medical men generally as regards the na

gether medical agents of known utility and worth in the
form of a new combination, making a compound alto,

cure in the most ngravated and stubborn t osses of the
diseases rt’fered to, providing the medicine is properly

He would a'so for the purpose of giving additional
weight to whatever he may say as regards this new pre
paration, beg to reler to the fart that lie is the origina-
toh, manufacturer, and proprietor of the medicine known
as “JACOBS CORDIAL,” the curative properties of
which in Cholera, Dysentery and diarrlioa- is now being
proclaimed by 'liousands in every section of the country,
ami as being all that he ever said of it.
Dyspepsia, like Gout may be said to ' e a fashionable
disease; it, more readily than any other, in various of Us
forms, and to a greater extent, finds its virtims in the
wealthy anti aristocratic circles, especially in cities, and
its insideons workings are often the real, though undis
covered cause of the sallow cheek, the dull, heavy eye,
and the general inertia; indisposition to either mpntal or
physical effort, which are erroneously attributed tooth
er causes. As n remedy in Dyspepsia, litis preparation
stands at tlie bead of all others in establishing a healthy
and vigorous action of the various organs, and restoring
their natural functions those organs wLicit hove been
prevented hy this disease.
NERVOUS SUFFERERS; This preparation is also
particularly recommended ns well as to those suffering
from Diseased Liver. In weak and debilitated systems,
it will he found as possessing tonic properties to a pre

ERNEST &ZNWOOS,
BY
Mr*. Caroline I.cc Ilrntz.
Although but a single month lias passed since the
first copy of this brill limit book was issued, yet so
great has been the demand for the last anil most
beautiful work from the pen of its lamented au
thoress, that we are now printing the
TWENTIETH TIIOlSA!VD,
with an unabated demand still pressing us. Since
the days of the Lamplighter, no book has sold so
rapidly, or become so universally popular.
Col. Fuller, of the Aetc York Mirror, in one of the
most elegant articles ever penned, in regard to authors
nr their productions, uses the following strong and
beautiful language: ■
Ernest I,inwood.
“Death darkens bis eye, and unplumes his wings,
But the sweetest song is the last he sings.”
In the the volume entitled “Ernest Linwood,”
just issued by Jewett & Co., of Boston, we havathe
dying song of the elegant and gifted Mrs. CaroSne
Lee Ilentz. Moumtully sweet like the sigh of an
.Eolian lyre, yet deep and oracular as the voice of
many waters, it seents to have been poured forth
while her soul floated down to the ocean of Rest.
On almost every page we can trace the shadow of
the death-angel, who bore her away when her song
was ended. Mysterious gleams from beneath the
uplifting veil of Spirit-land startle us as we read.
The book is a broad-cast farewell—a lingering
hand-grasp from one we loved. If we mistake not,
its most, impressive passages are revelations of the
inner life of the writer—wonderfully vivid aad
absorbing, because wonderfully real.
We will not attempt to follow ont, in this notice,
the thread of an inimitable tale; in so doing, we
should only anticipate scenes and events, which
come, with beautiful linkings and tine effect, before
the eye of the reader. We would not rob the book
of half its charm.
Sweet Gabriella Lynn will tell her own story.

Stuck up Folks.
“I don’t like those people, they are so
dreadfully stuck up,” was the remark we
heard the other day. What arc “stuck
up” people, thought xve, and wc have
been looking about to sec if we could find
any.
Do you see .that young man over yon
der, leaning against the post of that hotel
piaza,. twirling a shadow walking stick,
now and then coaxing the hair on his lip
and watching every lady that passes, not
that lie cares to see them, but is anxious
to know whether they are observing him;
lie belongs to the “stuck up folks.” What
is the occasion? Well, he happens to
have a rich father, and a foolish, vain
mother, who has taught him that he isn’t
“common folks,” and that poverty is al
most the same as vulgarity and meanness,
and so he has become “stuck up;” lie dos-
cn’t take pains to learn anything, for he
does not feel the need of knowing any
more; he docs not work, for he luis never
required it, and he is so extensively “stuck
up,” that he hasn't the least idea that he
will ever come down—ho dosen’t know-,
however.
“There goes a young woman—-lady she
calls herself—with the most condescend
ing air to nobody in particular, and an all
pervading consciousness that she has not
earned the salt she cats, knows a little,
very little, of a good many things, and
nothing thoroughly of anything; is most
puzzled lest she should be puzzled to make
a selection ouf of some fifty young men,
all of whom are dying for her, she sup
poses; she is one of the “stuck 'up folks,”
and that is about all she is. That old gen
tleman over the way, barricaded with half
a yard of shirt cbllar, guarded by a gold
headed cane, with a pompous patronizing
air—do you see him? Well he is one of
the “stuck up” too. lie has been so about
ten years, since he got off his leather apron,
and btfgan to speculate successfully in
real estate. There are other fools of this
class, some “stuck up” by having at some
time been constable, justice of the peace,
an alderman, and in various other ways
they get “stuck up” notions. They are
not proud people, for they do not rise to
the dignity of pride; they are not distin
guished folks, for they have not the abili
ty or character cnough to make them so
these are just what they seem to be, “stuck
up”—let them stick.
Otto of Hoses.
The principal seat of the manufacture is
in the district of Hassaulik, which com
prises about 3(> villages, and is situated in
Bulgaria, about 200 miles northwest of
Constantinople. This district is devoted
almost entirely to the cultivation of roses,
and during the season of harvesting, which
is from the first of May to the middle of
June, the country, for miles beyond the
borders of the district, is redolent with the
odor of roses. The cultivation of the rose
and the extraction of the oil, occupy near
ly all of the time of the people. In the
distillation of the roses, the water which
comes off is successively re-distilled, and
finally the oil, being the lightest, rises to
the top, and is skimmed off. It is limped,
with a tinge of orange color. It is said to
take 300,000 roses to yield an ounce of
oil.
This oil is brought to Constantinople in
hermetically sealed copper vessels, vary
ing in size from those capable of holding
an ounce to those which hold seven pounds
—so that, at the regular market price,
$6 an ounce, one of these copper cases may
be worth $500. The oil is worth six times
its weight in silver. The ordinary
amount of oil produced in Hassanlik, is a
little less than 3,000 pounds. At Con
stantinople the oil is put up in gilt bottles,
manufactured expressly for the purpose
in Bohemia. The rose water which re
mains front the distillation after the oil
has been skimmed off, is sold for 8 or 10
cents a quart, and is used by the Greeks
and Armenians on all festival occasions.
It lias been stated that the otto is worth
in the land of its manufacture, $6 an ounce;
and it is frequently sold for a considerable
less amount! This apparent inconsisten
cy is owing to the fact that the oil is sus
ceptible of an extraordinary degree of
adulteration. It was formerly mixed with
sandal-wood oil, which is valued at about
one-twelfth as much as the otto of roses.
It is much less limpid and flowing than
the oil of roses.
Of late years, however, a new oil has
been introduced to dilute oil of roses, and
render it less overpowering. It is brought
by tlie Arabs from Mecca, and is called
by them “Shepherd’s perfume.” It is ex
traded from a kind of geranium, nt a cost
of §2 per pound, or one thirty-sixth the
price of otto-of roses.
Both on account of its cheapness, a cer
tain similarity of odor, and its likeness in
color and weight to otto of roses, no other
oil is so well adapted to mix with it and
reduce its strength. In the common oil
of roses found in the shops, there is proba
bly 15 per cent, of foreign oils; and ihe
diffusibility ef its aroma is such, that it
may receive without perceivable deprecia
tion, in the opinion of ordinary judges, 80
per cent, per pure foreign oils, especially
of the oil of geranium.—Hunt's Magazine
Anecdote of n Fat Man
“Bridget,” said a lady, in the city of
Gotham, one morning, as she was recon
noitering in her kitchen, to her servant,
“what a quantity of soap-grease you have
there! We can get plenty of soap for it,
and we must exchange it for some. Watch
for the fat man and when he comes alon
tell him I want to speak to him.”
Yes ma’am” says Bridget, keeping
a bright lookout of the kitchen window,
and no moving creature escaped her
watchful gaze. At least her industry
seemed to be rewarded, for down the street
came a large portly gentleman, flourishing
a cane, and looked the picture of good,
humor. Sure, when he was in front of the
house, out she fled and informed him that
Iter mistress wished to speak with him.
“Speak to me, my good girl?” asked the
gentleman.
“l~es sir, wants to speak to you, and
says would you be good enough to walk
in?”
This request was so direct that it was
not to be refused; so in a state of wonder
ment, up tlie stairs went the gentleman,
and up stairs went Bridget, and knocking
at her mistress' door, put her head in and
exclaimed:
“Fat gentleman’s in the parlor, ma’am.”
So saying she instantly descended to the
lower regions.
“In the parlor!” thought tlie lady.—
“What can it mean? Bridget must have
blundered.”
But clown to the parlor she went, and
up rose our fat friend, with his blandest
smile and most graceful bow.
“lour servant informed me, madam,
that you Would like to speak to me—at
your service madam.”
/The mortified mistress saw the state of
the case immediately, and a smile wreath
ed itself about her mouth in spite of her
self as she said:
“Will you pardon the terrible blunder
of a raw Irish girl, my dear sir? I told
her to call in thefat man to take away
the soap-grease, when she has made a
mistake, you see!
The jolly fat gentleman leaned in his
chair, and Laughed such a hearty laugh as
never comes from your lean gentry.
“No apologies needed madam,” said he,
it is decidedly the best joke of the season.
Ha! ha! ha!—so she took me for the soap-
grease man, did she/ It will keep me
laughing for mouths, such a joke!
Taking the Assessment.
The following good story we find in the
last West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter:
When the' immortal Col. was As
sessor of a neighboring Parish, he was
wpnt to have a high old time. One day,
as he was assessing the valuables of th
occupants of a log cabin, situated in the
Pine woods he, in his usual urbane man
ner, “popped the question” to the old
woman while the old man had gone out to
procure some “corn cob oil” wherewith to
regale liis guest.
“How many horses, cattle, sheep, chick
ens, &c., have you got, my dear madam,
and how much arc you worth?”
“Well, thar’s three old horses, but they
aint wutli a cent—three cows, but they’ve
been lost this spring two year*—narry
sheep, ’cept my old man, and he aint wuth
a cuss; but he allers votes the Demmy-
crack ticket, and buys his whiskey by the
jug when he can get it a heap cheaper by
the bar’l. The chickens was all stole the
other night, an’ I hope to massy they’ll
pizen the scamp that hooked ’em.”
“Very satisfactory estimate of your val
uables, particularly about the old man—
but here’s something worth assessing
(pointing to a dirty little urchin about five
years old that was clinging to the old wo
mans gown) how much do you value that
little nigger at?”
“Little nigger! sakes alive! you infernal
old rascal, do you dare to call my child
wiped her face, and stifled her vexation in
the thought that she should find herself
amply revenged npon the other ladies in
the hall. In reality, the lecture closing at
Ihis moment, the andiance began to dis
perse, and the gentleman and his wife al
most burst with laughter at the sight of
cheeks of yellow, blue, black, violet and
other colors, which now made their appear
ance in the street. Some of the ladies,
who had manufactured for themselves
ivory complexions, rosy checks, coral lips
and ebony eyebrows, were so transformed
that they would have excited the envy of a
peacock.
Marriage of Ike Princess Royal of England.
We arc authentically advised that the
Princess Royal of England, now in the
sixteenth year of her age, is betrothed to
Prince Frederick of Prussia, a young gen
tleman some nine years her senior, and that
they will be married probably in the course
of the current year.
It is only a few months since the intend
ed bridegroom visited England, where it
would seem he wooed and found favor in
the eyes of the Princess Royal, and, what
was more to the purpose, perhaps in the
eyes of her royal parents. The papers of
that day reported how he was conducted to
the palace by Prince Albert; how lie was
received in the most gracious manner by
the Queen; and how he was treated there
for some days as a most favored guest. A
general impression was created at the time
that the visit was not an ordinary one of
ceremony; and the idea soon got hold of
the public mind that the Prince came as
suitor to the Princess Royal, or rather as
visitor to his betrothed wife. An outcry
was raised against the projected alliance,
the Queen was lectured about the mode of
marrying the daughter, and the matter
ended at that time by the departure of the
Prince from Balmoral. It is now apparent
that the royal families of England and
Prussia merely deferred the execution of
their project until more pacific views be
came ascendant; and tlie renewal of this
subject at the present moment affords de
cided proof that, in the opinion ofboth
families, the accomplishment of peace is
certain, and tlie contemplated alliance
may have exerted no inconsiderable in
fluence in securing the consent of England
to the admission of representatives from
the Court at Prussia to tho Paris Confer
ences.
Prince Frederick William Nicholas
Charles of Prussia was born on the 1st of
October, 1S3I, and is consequently in his
25th year. He holds the commisssion of
Major, a la suite, of the- first regiment of
foot guards, and Chief and Colonel Propn-
ctairc of other Regiments in the Prussian
service. He is the eldest son and heir of
Frederick William, Prince of Prussia,
brother of the King, and heir to the throne.
Consequently, if the projected marriage
shall take place, it may be anticipated that
tlie time is not far distant when the throne
of Prussia will be occupied by a Princess of
England. .
The young lady whose hand is about to
be made the pledge of renewed amity with
Prussia, “Her Rox-al Highness Victoria
Adelaide (Maria Louisia, Princess Royal of
England,” was born at Buckingham
Palace, on the 21st of November, 1840,
and was baptised on the I6th of February
following. She was to be confirmed at
Windsor Castle on Thursday, the 20th
ult.,and as a preliminary to her marriage,
which is likely to follow in convenient
order the proclamation of peace, and swell
the popular rejoicings which may be ex
pected to succeed that event,— N. Y. Post.
nigger? Clar out o’here, or I’ll knock the
daylights out o’you in a minnit. Oh my!
to think I should live to be forty odd next
class meeting, and to hear my own child
called a nigger by such a feller as you!”
By this time the old woman had worked
herself up to a pitch of ungovernable fury,
and raising her voice to a shrill yell, she
called out to the old man, to come quick
and “chaw the Colonel up,” and we are
compelled by an inward regard for veraci
ty, to record that the Colonel’s old bay
made six miles of bad road in better time
than Lecomte ever did in his palmiest days.
A deputy was sent to attend to the un
finished business in that settlement, and
the Colonel’s remembrance of that day’s
work has “hoisted” him into the other ex
treme, for the last and biggest fight he was
in was occasioned by his entering upon his
return, when taking the last census—six
little mulattoes as the children of one of
his constituents.

Fashionable Ladies Chagtined.—The
Paris correspondence of a New York con
temporary furnishes the following: •
It was lately announced that an exceed
ingly brilliant auditory, amongst which
were many very elegantly dressed ladies,
attended, at Berlin, a lecture on chemistry,
delivered by one of the most celebrated
chemists of bis age. After witnessing a
uumber of beautiful experiments and hear
ing of the marvels of science,^ a young lady
grew fatigued, and requested her husband
to lead her from the hall.
•My love,” said the gentleman, on reach
ing the landing place outside, “wipe your
cheek there’s a largo blue spot upon it.”
The lady, much surprised, turned to
look at her reflection in the mirrowed win
dow of a shop they were passing, and was
almost petrified to observe that the rouge
on her cheeks had became blue, in conse-
sequence of the chemical decomposition oc
casioned by the gas the professor had used
in making his experiments. She quickly
Deep Tillage.—We can see no good
reason why deep tillage should not be
practised to a great extent upon most of
our farm land. It stands to reason that if
the soil is loosened but four of five inches,
with a hard, impervious subsoil, that deep
rooting plants cannot be nourished so well
as if the subsoil was loose. Some writers
object to deep ploughing, because the sub
soil thrown upon the top often does injury
to the crop. As to throwing the soil di
rectly to the top, we have doubts of its im
mediate benefits to crops; but where tho
subsoil plough is used to loosen and pul
verize the ground, and the next year or so
this subsoil is incorporated with the sur
face soil, we cannot but think it would be
of material advantage.
What claim does the West put up for its
fertile lands over ours? Why that their
soil averages from two to six feet iri depth.
Docs not this deep stirring of the soil do
that very thing for us? The importance of
deep culture is beginning to be better un
derstood and more practiced, from its evi
dent security against drought. But it has
many advantages to induce it adoption.—
When a piece of land has been ploughed
for a series of years only a few inches in
depth, the bar of the plough passing
yearly about the same depth, makes for
itself a hard well-beaten road, irnprovious
to heat, and to the roots of plants, and to
water; anti renders the surface very liable
to be waihed away by our heavy rains, es
pecially upon our hill sides, leaving the
subsoil smooth and hard exposed. |How
much of our land has been injured in this
way.
It looks plausible that if the subsoil was
loosened several inches, that the water
would soak into the ground, and go off
gradually, instead of forming a great fore
bay, driving every thing before it. But this
subsoil, unless stirred, is of no use to the
growing crops. In many cases it is rich in
the substances composing the food of plants
and by being exposed to the air and action
of frost, would increase the productiveness
of the land. The supply of the various
salts, so important to vegetation, and
which in wet seasons are carried iuto the
subsoil, by deep tillage are liberatedand
drawn np by the roots of plants, andare
vastly beneficial to the land. Deep culture
tends to retain so much moisture in the
loose particles of earth, that it operates
like a sponge, preventing it from becoming
cloddy, and yielding up water as it is
demanded by the growing crops.—

——
Appearances.—Upon the subject of dress
and appearances, the New York Times
thus remarks: “ A coat that had the
marks of use upon it is a recommendation to
people of sense, and a hat with too smooth
a nap and too high a lustre is a derogatory
circumstance. The best coats in Broadway
are on the backs of penniless fops, broken
down merchants, clerks with pitiful sala
ries, and men that don’t pay np. The hea
viest gold chains dangle from the fobs of
gamblers and gentlemen of very limited
means; costly ornaments on the ladies
indicate to the eyes that are well open, to
the fact of a silly lover or husband cramp
ed for funds. And when a pretty woman
goes by in a suit of plain and neat
apparel, it is a sign that she had fair
expectations and a husband that can show
a balance in. his favor. For women are
like books, too much gilding makes men
suspicions that the binding is the moirt
important point.”
