The Albany Times publishes a Horrnon recently delivered l>v Rider (ieorge Al bert lamias; of the Now Lebanon Himkers, in which lie given a akctcli of Ann Is*.* nmj the first Shakers llmt, left England for the new world, Ann Lee, the founder of the order, descended from Knglund, having Manehwter rh a birthplace, the daughter of a isior, ignorant, hut indus triouß blacksmith a mull who came hon estly I>v hib ignorance, and hb honestly transmitted the bliss of ignorauce to a large family of children. At an early day she claimed that she enjoyed visions, and as she matured these visions did not cease. Who married Abraham Stanley, by whom “tie had four children, all of whom died when infants. She then joined u society of Shakers, her husband, who had grown tired of her, gladly giving his permission. Ann Ist did not live a very peaceful life. Klder Lomas says: Her thundering testimony against the lusts of the flesh aroused such bitter hate that she was arrested, east into u dungeon in which she could in nowise straighten kernel fund there left to starve, her cell door not being opened for two full weeks She eumf ou|jti ft tolumb.lv good condition, but fo^ftomew^nWriof hers, was again arrested and arraigned for blasphemy. Taken by the mob before several ministersofthecstablished church, the mob asked permission to brand her check and liorc her tongue, the jienalty of the blasphemer. The ministers asked her to speak in unknown tongues—she said she could not without the aid of the spirit. The spirit moved and she spoke for four hours in seventy-two tongues and dialects. These judges advised the mob to let her go in peace; but resolving themselves into executioners, they led her and the companions into a valley to stone them tojdcuth. Through provi dential interference, they ijuurrelod among themselves after throwing a few harmless shots, and abandoned their wicked design. She was spiritually directed to journey to America, where, she told her disciples, “ (led had a chosen people, and where lie was then preparing the land for the setting up of His church.” They embarked upon a comlemucd vessel—the Alariah, < ’alit. Smith,of New _.Vork-d The spirit led them forth in battfos ol spiritual warfare, snalcing and howling, mul other grotesque maneuvers. These began on shiplkiard; the captain, enraged, threatened to cast them all ovcrlioard if the same was repeated. It was repeated, and in the midst of a storm; and while the captain was preparing to pul his threat into execution, a plank started from the ship's bow, and the waters rushed in like a Hood. All hands were at the pumps, but many times their number would not meet the necessity. The captain, pale as death, informed all of their inevitable fate, and bid them prepare for the king of terrors. “Cap tain,” said Ann Lee, "there shall not a hair of eur heads perish! I see. two an gels at the mast, from w hom I received this message.!” Then came a mighty sea, and the plank was secured in its place. Persecution ceased on that vessel. The shakers were indeed the captain id' that vessel the remainder of the voyage, and we have the testimony of the captain that, “had not that people sailed in his Bja'SM I lie never would nave scriwUncrira!'’ Otidl.e sixth day .'jfSfehfU**- lnjSuhey landed w „\. > rk. America wasem vitlrnd with great dissatisfactions. ing up Pearl street they came to a limit at the door of which sat a woman. Halt ing, they stated they had come to preach tile everlasting gospel to America, and that the Lord had directed them to that house. They were eared for here until they had homes of their own. Some months after they passed up the river to Albany. Here they were challenged, lining suspected as British spies, and al though Mother Ann invariably predicted the success of the American cause, yet, because they would neit her take the oath nor fight, they were east into prison. Although confined, tllcv were treated very kindly by the authorities of that idd Dutch city, and the posterity of their keepers seem never to have learned to Ik 1 unkind to the peculiar people called Sha kers. Many expressed themselves with horror at the idea of confining religious refugees in dungeons while the country was struggling for liberty and conscience. “The earth opened its mouth and helped the women” in the person of governor George Clinton, who released the perse cuted Shakers. Our founder “fled into the wilder ness" and remained three years and a half. She gathered many truth-loving souls. She traveled extensively, meet ing with persecutions in the eastern states almost too incredible to tell. Hjiving planted her testimony upon a pure and imperishable basis, establishing anew mission of Jesus, by teaching and example, making prominent puritv of life as an essential in the character of Christians, and attesting the truth, that the soul of a woman is capable, of receiv ing the spirit of < 'hrist equally wwll with man, she departed this life, less than fifty years old, having lalvired in this country !t little more than ten years. Such arc, indeed, the outlines of one who w as most stublxirn in support of principle—an English disposition, whose bluflhess was | turned to good account, and who s tide red : nearly all things rather than let the right go down—an undaunted prophetess am l savior to her sex and race. The Shakers do not worship Ann Loo. She was the medium of revelations which to them are exceedingly good. We revere the spirit with which she was baptised, lo calise its operations in the soul were identical with those in Jesus. She was with us, the fulfillment of the prophecy of Christian love, beheaded in Crom well's time: “Out of thee, oh, Eng- ! land, shall a bright star arise, whose light and voice will in alee the heavens shake ; and knock under with submission to the blessed Jesus." The principle cuuiici- j a ted by Ann Lie can he host roterred to by answering the question: “Who I are the Shakers?" The Shakers are a j people whose line of conduct is in agree- • meat with certain Christian principles I introduced or revived by a goodly sort of a woman, Ann Lee, after their almost total extinction from the practice of the general heads of “Common property," ‘'Non-resistance," “Celibacy in Life," and “Distinction of tjovemment." They believe Cod and < 'lirist to lie dual affinities, father and mother. They be lieve Jesus became Christ or anointed by a life prepared through an exceeding selMenial; and they believe the HHirtt* causes will prod lieu Che same effects UJioir all—milking all Christ by continuously ‘ living the life Jesus led. A Hit of Horse biography. There is an undeveloped force in the Isnie, bruin, nerve and muscle of the American horse which is well worth con sidering. Flora Temple was the (irst horse that ever heat 2;20; and compared with what had Ihwii done by any horse fifty years ago, the achievement was a little short of a newaujl jreiftsrfcUoJf* raU olution of tapiir 'power. At the age of lour this marewiiß sold by .Samuel H eleli, near l'lien, N. V., to William JL Cong dun, of Smyrna, in the same state, for thirteen dollars, because she was an un promising, unmanageable little thing. Mr. Congdon was glad to get rid of her for sixty-eight dollars. After one or two more changes not noted, she passed into the hands of Mr. Jonathan Vieleo, of Dutchess county, at $175. lie took her Iq tile city of New York and sold her to (leorge E. Perrin for SBSO. In 1850 Jno. I>. Perrin 1 anight her for $575. In 1858 she trotted a mile on the track at Kala mazoo in 2:l9i|. Flora Tmnplc is still living, and is strong and vigorous at the age of thirty. During her turf career ■she won 78 races, mile heats, H two mile heats, and 2 of three miles. She and (loldsniitli Maid will be shown at the centennial. That non-pcdigrec blood should de velop such vital force and improvement of organization need surprise no one, for all blood in men and beast has a liegin ning, and its virtues whether good or bad are transmissible to nflfeptrimri I lenee a foal from such trotters a* < odd-inith Maid.gnd Flora Temple, with * orrespoml ing sinks, have peculiar vitro*, and in tla* course ot*a few gejiHroioiiH innv evolve a (faculty and he reditary merit.

This is a common practice at the north, and we were formerly inclined to favor ft, but later experiment!) force iih to the conclu sion that in our climate aa least, the practice is a had one. and that it is far more profitable to sow each by itself.

If you arc to sow both clover and the grasses on the same field, it is best to sow the clover by itself, as tin* seeil does not mix well with the grass seed. The various kinds of grass seed may he mixed before sowing. No Time, for Anything. The great difficulty in this country is, that we have no time for anything. The very walk of an American shows that he is in a hurry. An Knglishman buttons his coat and goes to business as deliber ately as hemies to church. An Ameri- Can Im-pttMMUn Hies after the ear, struggling with ills swat-sleeves as lie runs, plunges in liead-loinne-t. ami plunges out at the other nd w ithout re gard to his neck. Chief muigjg our acci dents stands those which occur because people jump upon flying train or after departing boats. To wait ten minutes is something not to lie thought of Dinner is not'eaten, it is swallowed whole ; and when one comes to the desert lie finds the fruit was picked before, it was ripe. Everything is hurried through from the building ot a house to the curing of a ham. The women who sew ing machines stop before they Mffe jU> the end of the seam. The home your dress with hastingHhreads in it, and no loops to hang it up by. There is none of the slow, sure eompletness of the old world about anything, and even fortunes are generally made iti a hurry, and lost in the same way. If any man we know is getting rich by the glow and patient process ot saving, he sure that lie was not horn upon this continent. Vet people live as long here as they do any where else, and the day# are the same length. Why is it that we have no time for anything. AVir Pori l.nlgcr. Escapes from Siberia. A letter from St. Petersburg in the >S(7//<wWif /.at,,,,., says it appears from oliieitd statistics that between the years 1 and 1872 no less than 500,000 per sons have been banished to Siberia ; vet t here has been scarcely any perceptible increase in the population, and now. a> fifty years ago, there is not one inhabi tant per square verst. The reason of this is that the number of persons who make their escape from Siberia Continues to lie very great. In IS#. Ibr instance, the number of peTsortffntorod on the lists as condemned to bit Abim-nt in the Irkoutsk district was bile I,'JiM only were to lie trad'd as there; and in the ten yeas from 1X:!5 toNX 15 no fewer than l-12,052 fugitives were reeapturi'd.

TICK PROFITS OF lIMH FARMING. Large crops arc not necessarily profit aide. They may be made to cost more than their market value, on account of had management, and unwise, and need less expenditures, just as it oftch Imp pens in trade, where a large and “flour ishing" business only leads to heavy loss and financial ruin. Profitable farming, like profitable trading, implies judicious 'management and wise economies. The cxiiense per acre may well he htrge, pro vided no part of it “hall he unnecessary. The joint to he aimed at is to make the expense ]s*r pound or )>er bushel of the cro|> grown as light as jmssible, and to do this the acre must he made to produce u maximum number of pounds or bushels. We find in the Rural New Yorker some examples illustrating this principle: Mr. Luther Smith, of Chemung, New A’ork, raised a nop of corn, averaging twoJiun dre<j !m ,| (brty oia Imshels of ears to the acre, which at eighty cents a bushel for the shelled corn, gave, for the grain alone, after deducting expenses, a l profit of seventy-one dollars and thirty-five cents ja r acre. lion. Harris Lewis, of Herkimer <'o., New York, raised forty four tons of Is'ctH per acre, at a cost of Ichh than five and a half edits per bushel, or a little over one dollar and seventy cents js-i* ton, against a market value of seventeen dollars per ton. A t this jiriee the cash product per acre would be seven hundred ana forty-eight dollars. De ducting from this the cost of the acre (seventy -eight dollars.) it leaves six hundred and seventy dollars as the net profit. Mr. James ijrodie, of New York, "ns stated in one of the reports of the agricultui.il department, raised a crop of turnips at a cost of two cents and seven mills jsr bushel. The product was nearly one thousand six hundred bushels |.er aee Muj. Le Dleux raised clover near Summerville, 8. C., (as rejiorted in the Rural Carolinian,) at the rate of nearly five tons to the acre, at a cost of seven dollars and fifty cents per ton, against a market value of thirty dollars per ton. Mr. Alfred Rose, of l’eiin Yan, Si. Y., raised Irish jiotatoes during the last year at the rate of about six hundred bushels |*r acre, of which the cost was nine and a quarter cents |>er bushel. A carrot crop of over one thousand bushels per acre is rejiorted from Wisconsin by L. L. Fairchild, of which the cost was six cents |ier bushel. Corn fodder (from drilled corn) has been reported ia the Country (lentlenmn, at twenty-live tons per acre, and at a cost of forty-live and a half cents |s*r ton. “These are excep tional eases,” the reader may say. In fortunatcly they are, hut the exception may la* made the rule. They show what can be done under favorable conditions. We may divide the results liy two, and still have a good margin of profit. DOES TIIE WORLD MOVE? Aii octogenarian, in a late number of Ajijileton’s Journal, gives some note worthy facts and figures hearing on in dustrial jirogress. In 1810, while yet a young man, he traveled through all the |irineipal countries of Europe, making careful observations and taking notes of the peojde and their industries. During the jiresent year, he has again traveled over the same ground, giving special at tention to the same class of facts. The comparisons made on several points are suggestive, as well as interesting, but we purpose here to note only a single one of them, as most striking*and best adapted tjjgt’imgtlien the faith of those who bc- IWr. fli this faithless age, that the world moves. In 1810 the entire white or European population of the globe was one hundred and eighty millions. In 1875 it is three hundred mi- lions. The producing area of Europe,in I S7r, lie found to be one thousand and fifteen millions of acres, that of the United States is about two hundred mid fifty millions of acres, and that of other countries settled by Europeans alxiut thirty-live millions of acres -total, say one thousand three hundred Inillionsof acres. This area, for a |Kipuhition of three hundred and sivty millions, is hut three and two-thirds'aeres each, while in 1810 it required live and one-eighth acres for the sustenance of each person, showing that the productiveness of the producing surface of the earth must have become enhanced over fifty per cent., or at least one-half, in order that three and two-thirds acres should now support as many lives as five and one-eighth acres did formerly. “Had the acquisition of this groat, significant fact,” our octoge narian adds, “been the only result of two long journeys through Europe, I should have considered my time and labor well spent.” That throughout all the Euro pean world, three blades of corn now grow where but two grew Indore, assures us that four blades may yet be made to grow upon the same area, and put to rest any fears that may have grown up as to the encroachments of population u)>on the limits of subsistence. WHAT no YOf KNOW Allot I ORASS? We wish here to repeat a request made several years ago in these pages, with the hope that our renders are now better pre pared alum they were at that time to aid Us in solving an inqiortaiit problem. We wish to know, for the benefit of the farmers and planters of the south gener ally, just where and under w hat condi tions of soil, climate, and season, clover and the grasses can he raised, and where and under what conditions they can not be raised. We care tor no man’s precon ceived notions on these |ioints. We want the evidence of experience. Let hundreds of farmeie in all parts of the country each try iui exjieiiment with clover and someone er more of the cul tivated grasses this fall, if it be on only a quarter of an acre, and the first step will have been taken toward the solution of the problem. Our own observation and experience lead us to think that the question is really one of preparation and fertility, rather than of locality, climate or general character of soil, though the latter is not without its influence. Clo ver and the grasses do well in the south on good, strong clayey soils, well manured ami thoroughly prepared. This is no longer an open question. Are there not loamy and sandy soils on which, if made equally rich and equally well prepared they will do well also? On this point wo need further experiments. MMi: I’OH OItASS VN !> IUI sMAI.t (ilt.WN's. A dressing of lime on land to lie sown with wheat, onts'or clover and the grasses, is, in a majority of eases, one of the most remunerative applications that can lie made, provided lime can lie procured at reasonable low rates. It is not merely as I plant-food that lime is useful. It is still more important as a preparer of plant food. Its reaction with the acids of the soil, its strong action upon decaying veg j etable matter, and its faculty of convert ! ing clay into mud, and rendering it me chanically lit tor culture, are some of its/ more obvious uses, and, as a general v> it may be assumed that the land wiinjTV the richest in vegetable substaiUjCJ’w ::5 benefit most bv the free use of !!:■>, ami) gravelly sand the least.

This should not he tolerated. Does not every intelligent planter know that—the original quality being the same —clean, well ginned, cotton commands 'in market from one and a half to two cents more j*i*r pound than 1 trashy cot ton?” Of course, everybody knows; nevertheless, immense quantities of trashy cotton find their way to market, and thcßi* words ofj eaiition are not re peated without reason. SOWING (IRARS AND CLOVER WITHORAIN. < )nc great cause of failure with grass in the south lias been the seeding of the crop with the small grains. This is a common jiractice at tin* north, and we were formerly inclined to favor it, Dut later exjx'riments force iis to the conclu sion that in our climate at least, the practice is a had one, and that it is far more profitable to -mv eaeli by itself. If sown immediately,(when not already in) grass and clover will, on suitable soil, attain such a growth before tin* hot weather of next season sets in, as will in sure them against injury, without the shade of the grain, which will tie injured by the clover and grass, while injuring them in return.

Brush lightly to cover and, ex cept on heavy soils, by all means roll the fields with a tolerably heavy roller. This hist is an important and too generally neglected process. If you are to sow both clover and the grasses on the same field, it is licst to sow the clover by itself, ns the seed does not mix well with the grass seed. The various kinds of grass seed may lie mixed before sowing. —Rural (■arolinum. IIOISIIIOI.iI HINTS. Coal ashes, sifted very finely, thor oughly ground,and mixed with oil,makes a good, cheap paint.
