A DREAM OF SUMMER.
DY JOHNS. WHITTIER.
Bland :is the morning breath of June
The southwest breezes play ;
An l through its haze, the winter noon
Seems warm as rummer's day.
The snow-plumed Angel of the North
his icy spe ir :
Again the mossy earth luoks forth,
Again the streams gush clear.
The fox his hill-side cell forsakes,
The muskrat leaves his nook, •
Tho blue bird in the moadow brakes
Is singing with the brook.
‘ Bear up, O Mother Nature!’ cry
Bird, breeze, and streamlet free,
‘ Our winter voices prophecy
Os summer days to thee!’
So, in those w inters of the soid,
By bitter blasts and drear,
O'er swept from memory's frozen pole,
Will sunny days appear.
Reviving Hope and Faith, they show
The soul its living powers,
And how beneath the winter’s snow
Lie germs of summer Bowers !
The Night is Mother of the Day,
The Winter of the Spring,
And ever upon old Decay
The greenest mosses cling.
Behind the cloud tho starlight lurks,
Through showers the sunbeams fill;
For Clod, who loveth all lfis works,
lias loft Ilia llopo with all!

SUBSTITUTE FOR THE I’OTATOE
There is a root called the Mayua, which
grows in ihe Peruvian mountains, anil is
milch cultivated by the natives, which
would be ti good substitute for the potatoe.
it sometimes grows with as many as fif*
teen tnberstoa root, these are of theaverage
size of our potatoes, and are round, kidney
formed, or p:g-top shaped, according to the
kind. The color is bright yellow, with
rays of reddish purple or scarlet, diverging
from the eyes, which are deeply set.—
When cut a delicious odor exhales, min
gled with a certain acidity by no means re
pulsive ; on the contrary, attractive to the
palate. Eaten raw, the root produces a
rich, smooth, unctious savor, which lasts
lnrt a short time and is all at oncesucceeded
by a piquant taste, exciting the tongue,
somewhat as ginger. This spicy taste af
terwards disappears, and leaves in the
mouth a pleasing perfume and agreeable
coolness.— Scienlifiic American.
Western Wheat Crop.—According to
accounts from all parts of the West, the
growing wheat crop, the Racine (Wis.)
Whig of the ‘Jtithult., informs us, looks re
markably well. It is said that the heavy
snows of (he past winter, protected it from
winter-killing. It is past danger from
frost now, and the prospect of a heavy
crop is as good as ever before, at this sea
son.
Vegetable Slumbers - —Mr. Lindley, a
celebrated London Professor, says, “there
is not a single gardener, who is master of
his profession, who does not know how in.
jurious a high nocturnal temperature is to
plants. The coolness of nights is to plants
uhat sleep is to animals. This law may,
to some extent, be violated for a time, but
the plants cannot, on pain of loss of life, be
deprived of their proper period of repose.’’
To make a Thee bear Fruit. —ls the
tree grows rapidly without bearing, dig a
trench around it and cut ofFone-third of its
roots.
Another Way. —Run your saw through
the bark to the wood, quite round the trunk.
If you are afraid to do that, try the experi
ment on a single branch.
Shrub Fruit. —Your crops of currants,
gooseberries, and raspberries, will improve
if you dig up the old plants once in three
or four years, and plant young bushes.
Propagating Currants and Gooseberries.
When you plant cuttings, remove all the
buds or eyes on that part which goes into
the ground, This will prevent the annoy
ance of suckers from the roots.
Peach Trees. —Soon after the fruit is
formed remove the earth, about three inches
deep, for two feet around, and fill the place
with charcoal dust. Probably hard coal
will answer.
Raise more Fruit. —When Dr. Dwight
firs’ removed to New Haven, ihere was but
liit lei: u ll raised there. He urged his neigh
bors to plant fruit trees, but they said it
was of no use, for the boys would steal all
the fruit. 11 Plant more fruit,” was the an
swer. Make good fruit plenty, and it will
not be plundered. Fifteen yeafs after
wards, he pointed to the abundance of fruit
and the absence of pillage then enjoyed, in
proof of his principle.

INTERIOR OF AN ASSYRIAN
PALACE.
The interior of the Assyiian palace must
have been as magnificent as imposing. I
have led the reader through its ruins, and
he may judge of the impression its halls
were calculated to make upon the stranger
who, in the days of old, entered for the first
time the abode of the Assyrian kings. He
was ushered in through the portals guarded
by the colossal lions or bulls of white ala
baster. In the first hall he found himself
surrounded by the sculptured records of the
empire. Battles, sieges, triumphs, the ex
ploits of the chase, the ceremonies of reli
gion, were portrayed on the walls, sculptur
ed in alabaster, and painted in gorgeous
colors. Under each picture were engraved,
in characters filled up with bright copper,
inscriptions describing the scenes represent
ed. Above the sculptures were painted
other events —the king, attended by his eu
nuchs and warriors, reviewing his prison
ers, entering into alliances with other mon
arch?, or performing some sacred duty.
These representations were inclosed in
colored borders of elaborate and elegant
; design. The emblematic tree, winged bulls
and monstrous animals were conspicuous
among the ornaments. At the uppej end
of the hall was the colossal fiigure of the
king, in adoration before the supreme deity,
or receiving from his eunuch the holy cup.
He was attended by warriors bearing his
arms, and by the priests or presiding divin
ities. llis robes, and those of his follow
ers, were adorned with groups of figures,
animals and flowers, all painted with bril
liant colors.
The stranger trod upon alabaster slabs,
each bearing an inscription recording the
titles, genealogy and achievements of the
great king. Several doorways, formed by
gigantic winged lions or bulls, or by the
figures of guardian deities, led into other
apartments, which again opened into more
distant halls. In each were new sculptures.
lOn the walls of some were processions of
‘colossal figures—armed men and eunuchs,
following the king, warriors laden with
spoil, leading prisoners, or bearing presents
and offerings to the gods. On the walls of
others were portrayed the winged priests, or
presiding divinities, standing before the sa
cred trees.
The ceilings above him were divided in
to square compartments, painted with (low
ers, or with the figures of animals, Some
were inlaid with ivory, each compartment
being surrounded by elegant borders and
mouldings. The beams, as well as the
; sides of the chambers, may have been gild
j ded, or even plated, with gold and silver;
and tlie rarest woods, in which the cedar
was conspicuous, were used for the xvood
i work. Square openings in the ceilings of
tlie chambers admitted the light of day.
A pleasing shadow was thrown over the
sculptured walls, and gave a majestic ex
pression to the human features of the co
lossal forms which guarded the entrances.
Through these apertures was seen the
bright blue of an eastern sky, inclosed in
a frame on which were painted, in vivid
colors, the winged circle, in the midst of
elegant ornaments, and the graceful forms
of ideal animals.
These edifices, as it has been shown,
were great national monuments, upon the
wallsof which were represented in sculpture,
or inscribed in alphabetic characters, the
chronicles of the empire. He who entered
them might thus read the history, and
learn the glory and triumphs of the nation.
They served, at the same time, to bring
continually to the remembrance of those
who assembled within them on festive oc
casions, or for the celebration of religious
ceremonies, the deeds of their ancestors,
and the power and majesty of their gods.
THE MOOSE.
“ Game of all kinds swarm in the forest;
bears, wolves, panthers, deer, and moose.
I was not aware that so many moose were
to be found here: yet 1 do not believe
there is an animal of the African desert
with which our people are not more famil
iar than with it. In size, at i iast, he is
worthy of attention, being much taller than
the ox. You will sometime.’ find an old
bull moose eight feet high. The body is
about the size of a cow, while the legs are
long and slender, giving to the huge bulk
the appearance of being mounted on stilts.
The horns are broad, flat, and branching,
shooting in a horizontal curve from the
head. I saw one pair from a moose that
a cousin of Cheney killed, that were near
ly four feet across, from tip to tip, and the
horn itself fifteen inches broad. The speed
of these animals through the thick forests
seems almost miraculous, when we consid
er their enormous bulk and branching
horns. They seldom break into a gallop,
but when roused by a dog start off on a
rapid pace, or half trot, with the nose erect,
and the head working sideways, to lettheir
horns pass through the branches. They
are rarely, if ever, taken by dogs, as they
run on the start twenty miles without stop
ping. over mountains, through swamps,
and across lakes and rivers. They are
mostly killed early in the spring—being
then unable to travel the woods, as the
snow is often four or five feet deep, and
‘covered with a thick sharp crust. At
these times, and indeed in the early part of
winter, they seek out some lonely spot,
I near a spring or a water-course, and there
| ‘ yard,’ as it is termed ;. i. e. they trample
j down the snow around them and browse,
eating everything clean as far as they go.
; Sometimes you will find an old bull moose
‘yarding’ alone, sometimes two or three
• together. When found in this state they
are easily killed, for they cannot run fast,
! as they sink up to their backs in thesnow
at every jump.
“ Endowed, like most animals, with an
instinct that approaches marvellously near
ii§i!E)E)§ 0 is i t ©aaiiiie.
|to reason, they have another mode of
I 1 yarding,’ which furnishes greater security
than,the one just described. You know
that mountain chains are ordinarily cover
j ed with heavy timber, while the hills and
swelling knolls at their bases are crowned
with a young growth, furnishing buds and
j tender sprouts in abundance. If you don’t
! the moose do : and so, during a thaw in
January or early spring, when the snow is
j from three to tiro feet deep, a big fellow
will begin to travel over and around one
of these hills. lie knows that ‘after a
thaw comes a freeze; and hence makes
the best use of his time. He will not stop
to eat, but keeps moving until the entire
hill is bi-sected and inter- sected from crown
to base, with paths he himself has made.
Therefore, when the weather changes, his
I field of operations is still left open. The
crust freezes almost to the consistency of
ice, and yet not sufficiently strong to bear
jhis enormous bulk : little, howeverdoes he
care for that; the hill is at his disposal,
and he quietly loiters along the paths he
I has made, ‘browsing’ as he goes—expect
j ing, most rationally, that before he has fm
jished the hill, another thaw will come,
when he will be able, without inconven
ience, to change his location. Is not this
adapting one’s self to circumstances'?”—
The Adirondack.
THINKING ALOUD.
Lord Dudley was afflicted with what
may not be improperly termed the disease
of thinking aloud—that is, of unconscious
ly giving utterance to involuntary thoughts
which other men confide to the secret de
pository of their breast. An amusing an
anccdote of this singular failing of the mind
is related of his lordship.
Lord Dudley had been invited to the
house of a friend upon the occasion of
some great fete, but being a man of early
habits, had ordered his carrige at a certain
hour, having some miles to travel, before
he could obtain his accustomed repose. To
bin great mortification, after repeated in
inquiries for Lord Dudley’s carriage, it bad
not arrived, and his lordship, as well as
others, imagined that some accident must
have happened to it. One of the guests,
seeing how much his lordship was discon
certed by the event, very politely offered
him a seat in his carriage. The gentleman
in question had to pass his lordship’s house,
on his return home, and though he was al
most a stranger to Lord Dudley, his rank
and position in the country were, of course,
well known to him, and the civility was
no more than one gentleman would, tinder
similar circumstances, have offered to an
other. Nevertheless, they had not been
seated in the carriage more than twenty
minutes, when the peer, who, being tired,
had, up to that moment, maintained a most
perfect silence, observed, in a low but dis
tinctly audible tone of voice—“l’m very
sorry I accepted his offer. I don’t know
the man. It was civil, certainly ; but the
worst is, I suppose I must ask him to din
ner. It’s a deuce of a bore !” He then re
lapsed into his former state of taciturnity,
when, after a few minutes, the gentleman,
pretending to be afflicted with the same
failing, and imitating his lordship’s tone,
observed —“ Perhaps he’ll think I did it to
make his acquaintance. Why, I would
have done the same to any farmer on his
estate. I hope he won’t think it necessa
ry to ask me to dinner. I’ll be hanged if
I’d accept his invitation!” Lord Dudley
j listened to him with earnest interest, imme
diately comprehended the joke which he
! had himself provoked, offered his hand
‘ with much hearty good will tohiscompan
| ion, making every proper apology for his
involuntary rudeness—and from that night
the travellers became inseparable friends.
LIEBIG.
Liebig was distinguished at school as
“ booby,” the only talent then cultivated in
German schoo’s being verbal memory. On
one occasion, being sneeringly asked, by
the master, what he proposed to become,
since he was so bad a scholar, and answer
ing said he would be a chemist, the whole
school burst into a laugh of derision. Not
long ago, Liebig saw his old school master,
who feelingly lamented his own former
blindness. The only boy in the same
school who ever disputed with Liebig the
station of “ booby,” was one who never
could learn his lesson by heart, but was
continually composing music, and writing
it down by stealth in school. This same
individual, Liebig lately found at Vienna,
distinguished as a composer, and conductor
of the Imperial Opera House. His name is
Reuling. It is to be hoped that a more
rational system of school instruction is now
gaining ground. Can anything be more
absurd and detestable than a system which
made Walter Scott and Justus Liebig “boo
bies” at schoool, and so effectually con
cealed their natural talents, that, for exam
ple, Liebig was often lectured before the
whole school on his being sure to cause
misery and broken hearts to his parents,
while he was all the time conscious, as the
above anecdote proves, of the possession of
talents similiar in kind to those he has
since displayed. —Scientific American.

HV THE LITTLE ’t vl
A stage coach, with nine triple passen
gers, was slowly approaching a village in
New Jersey, one coldmorning iijFebruary,
183--.
“Gentlemen,” said one of the nine, “I
have often traveled this road before, and,
out of good feeling to all, I will caution
you against ‘hugging the delusive phan
t >n. of hope,’ as regards getting breakfast
at the hotel we are approaching.”
“What ?—how ’--no breakfast?” ex
claimed the rest.
“ Exactly so, gents, and you may as well
keep your seats and tin.”
“ Don’t they expect passengers to break-
fast ?”
“Oh, yes; they expect you to it but not
to eat it. lam under the impression that
there is an understanding between the
landlord and driver, that for sundry and
various drinks, etc., the latter starts before
you can scarce commence eating.”
“Why, wot on airth air yew talkin’
about? Es you calkerlate Pin goin’ to
pay 1 four nine yeuces’ fur my breakfast and
not git the valleeon't, youatr mistaken! ”
said a voice from the back seat, the owner
of which was one Hezekiah Spaulding—
whom, ‘ tew hum ” they called “ Hez * for
short. “I’mgoin’ tew get my bieakfuss
yere, and not pay nary red cent till 1 dew.”
“ Then you'll be left.”
“Not as yer knows on, I won’t!”
“ Well, we”ll see,’, said the other as the
stage drove up to the door, and the land
lord, read y to do the hospitable, says—
“ Breakfast just ready, gents. Take a
wash gents? Here’s water, basins, tow
els, and soap.”
After performing their ablutions, they
all proceeded to the dining room, and com
menced a fierce onslaught upon the edibles
though “Hez” took his time. Scarcely
had they lasted their coffee when they
heard the unwelcome sound of the horn,
and the driver exclaim, “ Stage ready"’
Up rise eight grumbling passengers, pay
their fifty rents, and take their seats.
“All aboard, gents ?” inquires the host.
“ One missing!” said they.
Proceeding to the (lining room, the host
finds Hez very coolly helping himself to
an immensf piece of steak, about the size
of a horse’* lip. *
“ You'll be left, sir. Stage is going to
start!”
“Wal, I heint got nothin’ to say agin
it!” drawls out Hez.
“Can’t wait, sir; belter take your seat.”
“ Dew wot ?”
“Get in, sir.”
“I'll be gaitl-darned es I dew, nuther,
till I’ve got my breakfnss! I paid fur it,
j and I'm goin’ to getthe vallee on't ! and es
j yew calkerlate 1 aint yew are mistaken.”
So the stage did start, and left Hez, who
! continued his attack on the edibles. Bis
cuits, coffee, steaks, &c., &c., disappeared
rapidly before the eyes of the astonished
landlord.
“ Say, squire, them ere cakes is ‘bout
east; fetch an nuther grist on ’em. You”
(to the waiter.) “nuther cup of that air
coffee. Pass them eggs. Raise yew’re
own pork, squire l —this is mazin’ nice
ham. Land bout here tolerable cheap,
squire ? Haint got much maple timber in j
these parks, hev ye ? Dewin right smart
trade, squire, I callate. Don', lay yew’rc
own eggs, dew ye?” and thus Hez kept
quizzing the landlord until he had made
a hearty meal.
! “ Say, squire now lam bout tew co%-
I elude payin’ my devowers to this ere table,
I but es yew’d just give us a bowl o’ bread
and milk tew so.-tcr top off with, I’d be
j obleeged tew ye.”
j So out goes landlord and waiter for the
■ bowl, milk and bread, and set them before
Hez.
11 Sperm, terr. es yew please /”
But no spoon could be found. Land
j lord was sure he had plenty of silver ones
lying on the table when the stage stopped,
j “Say, yew, dew yew think them pas
, sengers is goin’ to pay yew fora treakfuss
and not get no compensashun?”
j “Ah!—what 1 Do you think any of
; the passengers took them 1”
“ Dew I think ? No, I don’! think, but
I am sartin’. Es they arc aP as green as
j yew ’bout here’ I’m goin’ tewlocate imme
-1 diutely and tew wonst.”
The landlord rushes out ‘o the stable,
! and starts a man off after th; stage, which
J has gone about three miles. The man
; overtakes the stage, and says something to
the driver in a low tone. He immediate
ly turns back, and on arrmng at the hotel,
Hez comes out to take Ws seat, and says,-
•‘Heow air yew, gents? I’m rotten
i glad tew see you !”
Landlord says to Hez, “ can you point ;
1 out the man you think has taken the
;spoons I”
“Pint him eout? Sartinly, I ken.—
Sav, squire ! I paid yew four nine peaces
fur a break fuss, and I callate I got the val
lee on't! Yew’ll find them sperms in the
coffee pot! Go ahead, driver, all aboard !” ]

QUEER STORY OE A PANTHER.
My friend, while on his visit, was hunt
ing; in the wilderness of timber that spread
over that vast country, with an old and
experienced hunter, when, to his horror, it
was soon discovered they were pursued by
an enormous panther. Suddenly the ani
mal broke cover. On he came upon them,
bounding like a cataract, making tremen
dous leaps. What should they do ? ft
was hazardous to discharge their pieces,
as that would enrage the panther the more,
if they should chance to miss, or only
wound, without disabling him. What
should they do ? There was no time for
premeditation. A certain, horrid death
stared my friend in the face. His young
blood froze—his hair stood on end.
The hunter, however, was a man well
informed in the nature and habits of the
animal. Seeingalargetuborca.sk, near
by, which had been left there probably by
some wandering emigrant, he seized my
friend by the shoulder and dragged him
behind it, telling him, as he did so, that the
panther never leaped upon its object when
concealed from its view.
There they were, crouching behind the
tub, the panther gradually rounding up to
them. Suddenly, so soon as the “var
mint” was near enough, they raised the
tub in an inverted position and pitched it
right on top of him, and then mounted
guard to keep it down.
The panther, finding himself thus en
trapped, kept up a most fearful noise—
more terrific than the roaring of Mount
Vesuvius. The hunter soon devised a
way by which he got the panther’s tail
through the bung-hole.
“Come, bear a hand,” said he, “and
let’s tie a knot in his tail;” which was soon
done. “Now,” said the hunter, “now for
your life!” and off they started, running
for their lives. They had not gone far,
however, before they heard a tremendous
noise, like a tornado. They looked be
hind, and there saw the panther running
in a contrary direction, lashing the timber
with the tub at his tail, as if the very Old
Nick was after him. My friend could not
help smiling at the spectacle; and ever
since, whenever he sees a panther going
about in a menagerie, he can't keep from
laughing at the old trick of the tub.

The Proprietor begs leave to announce that,

July Ist, 1849. its
The.literary and moral tone of Richards’
Gazette are both of a high order, and we are not
acquainted with a weekly journal in any part of
the country which habitually imparts more val
uable information on all those subjects which
hallow the hearth stone of home.— National In
telligencer.
We congratulate Mr. Richanfg on the taste
ami ability displayed in his columns.— N. V.
Literary American.
The “Gazette” is edited by Wm. C. Rich
ards, Esq., a scholar and a writer of the highest
order, and one who knows how to get np a good
paper. Success, wo say, to it and him. — Boston
Sat. Rambler.
it This fino literary journal, printod at Athens,
fra ,is now issued in folio form, and makes aiv
elegant appearance. The last number came
brimful of good things ; and, indeed, every issuo
bears evidence that tne editor spares no pains to
make a first class paper. If our Southern friends
do not sustain him, it must be because their vis
ion is tolescopie, and can detect no excellence un
less it shines from afar.— Yankee Blade.
Mr. Richards doserves success, for his enter
prise and perseverance and this, as a Family,
Newspaper, will, without doubt, in its moral’
tone, be immeasurably above the catch-penny af
fairs from Northern cities.— Cherokee Advocate.
It is a beautifully printed shoot, ably managed,
and contains part first of the prize story, for
which the propietor paid fifty ilollars. This sto
ry is a beautiful production, and is written by
that “reputable ” and polished authoress, Mrs
Caroline Lee Hentz.— Am. Union, (Boston.)
We take great pleasure in recommending this
weekly to the favorable consideration and patron
age of thereading community. It makes an im
posing appearance. The Gazette is an imperinl
sheet, good paper, handsomely executed and lilt
ed with well-written and interesting matter. It
nmnhers among its contributors several ilistin
guished writers. — Mirror of the Times. (N. Y )
This transformation ofthe “ Southern Literary
Gazette comes to us nowise deteriornted from the
original. In all “ save form alone,” it hears tbo
same marks of literary and artistic excellence,
and we trust will long receive the bright smile of
pecuniary success.— Excelsior. (Boston )
The Literary Gazette, of Athens, Georgia, has
commenced a second volume ; folio form, pretty
head, &c. The new dress Is beautiful and the
Gazette overflows—its old boundaries at least—
with a literary chowder of the first cut. — Auro
ra Borealis.
It, has now entered on its new year enlarged
and very much improved. As this is the only pa
per devoted exclusively to Southern interests, it
ought to ho most liberally patronized by those
for whom it is intended Neat’s Gazette.
