SHE CAME AND SHE WENT.
EY J RUSSELL LOWILT..
Asa twig trembles, when a bird
Lights on to sing, then leaves unbent
So is my memory thrilled and stirred: —
1 only know she came and went.
As clasps some lake by gusts unriven,
The blue dome’s measureless content,
So my soul held that moment’s heaven ;
I only know she ramo ar.d went.
As at one bound, our swift Spring heaps
The orchard full of bloom and scent,
“iovc her May my wintry sleeps ;
I onle know she came and went.
An angel stood and met my gate
Through the low doorway of my tout ;
The tent is struck, the vision strays
I only know she came and went.
Oh, when the room grows slowly dim,
And life’s last oil is nearly spent,
These dulling eyes with tears will brim
Only to think she rune and went!

LOVE IN A PRINTING OFFICE.
I once heard an old Jour remark that a
printing-office was no place for love-mak
ing, and I have since experienced the truth
of his observation —being now convinced
that the flower of love cannot bloom in
the midst of types, stands, and printing i
ink.
It was my fortune once to sojourn for a
few days in the village of . Di-’
rectly opposite the office was a pretty white j
cottage, with a rose-bush clambering round |
the casement, and I was not long in mak
ing the discovery that the aforesaid white I
cottage with the rose-shaded windows con- i
tained a fair inmate—a flower, whose love
■ far outshone the roses that clustered around
the window. She was a little blue-eyed,
saucy looking creature, of some sixteen
summers. She was the belle of the vil
lage. Her name was Mary—sweet, poet
ic Mary.
“ I have a poetic passion for the name of Mary.” !
It was a beautiful summer morning, ami j
I had raised the window to admit the cool j
breeze from the flower-decked fields, and it
was not long before 1 perceived that the
cottage window was also hoisted, and that
sweet little Mary was seated near it, busi
ly engaged with her needle. I worked but
little that morning. My eyes constantly
wandered towards the cottage window,
where little Mary sat, and all sorts of
e’ .inge and fantastic notions whirled thro”
my fancy-lighted brain, and I began to
think that I felt a slight touch of what the
poets call love, sliding in at the corner of
my heart.
A few days passed away, and an oppor
tune chance made me acquainted with Ma
ry. Heavens! she was a sweet creature—
she had a form that would have shamed
the famous Venus de Medici—a cheek that
outblushed the richest peach—and a lip
that would have tempted a bee from his ,
hive on a frosty morning. 1 thought, as I
gazed on her in mute admiration, that I
had never gazed on one so exquisitely
beautiful. She seemed the embodiment of
all that is lovely and bewitching. Well,
time passed on, and one day Mary express
ed a desire to visit the printing office.
Gad! thought I, what a chance ! I'll do
* therein the very midst of the implements
f mine art—why shouldn’t 1 1 Love in a
printing-office —eh ? There was something
original in that, and I resolved to try it at
all hazards. Well! Mary came to the of
fice, and I explained to her the various im-;
plements of the black art—the press and
the roller—the ink and the stands, and the
boxes of the A B C's. I took an opportu
nity to snatch her lily white hand, and she
drew it back, knocking a stickful of mat
ter into pi!
“I must have a kiss ior that, my pretty
one,’’ said I, and at it 1 went; I managed
to twist my arm around her waist, and in
struggling to free herself, she upset a gai
ly of editorial, a long article on the Oregon
qnestion. Nothing daunted, l made at her
again. This time I was more successful,
for I obtained a kiss. Bv St. Paul! it was
a sweet one; and the little witch bore it
like a martyr; she only screamed once:
but, as 1 lifted my head from hers, she lift
ed her delicate little hand, and gave me a
box on the ears that made me see more
stars than ever were viewed by Hersehel
through his telescope. Somewhat nettled,
and with my cheek smarting with pain, 1
again seized her waist, and said :
“Wc'l. if you don’t like that, just take
back your kiss.”
She made a desperate struggle, and, as
she jerked herself from my arms, her foot
struck the lye-pot, and over it went! An
other galley of editorial was sprinkled over
the floor, and, in her effort to sustain her
self, her hand—her lily white hand—the
same little hand that had come in contact
with my ear, oh, horrible! was stuck up
to the elbow in the ink-keg! Shade of
Franklin! what a change came o’er the
beauty of that hand ! She slowly drew it
from the keg dripping with ink, and asked
ie what use I made of tar ! 1 began to be
seriously alarmed, and apologised in the
i est manner I could, and, to my surprise,
she seemed rather pleased than angry—but
k ‘here wa ‘-a lurking devil in her eye,”
! that told me there was mischief afloat. As
1 1 stood surveying the black covet ingot’ her
hand, scarcely able to suppress a laugh at
’ its strange metamorphosis she quickly
raised it on high, and brought it down,
“ ker slap,” upon my cheek ! Before I
could recover from my surprise, the same
little hand again descended, and had again
left its free imprint upon my cheek.
“Why, Mary,” 1 exclaimed, “whatarc
you about !”
“ 1 think you told me you rolled ink on
: the face of the form,” said she, laughing,
and again her hand lit on my face—taking
a broad slap in the middle of my counten
ance, and most wofully bedaubed my eyes.
With a light step, and a merry peal of
laughter, she skipped beyond the door.
She turned back when beyond my reach,
and. with her roguish face peering in at
the doorway, shouted, “ I say, Charley,
what kind of a roller does my hand
make 1”
I “Oh,” says I, “you take too much
(ink!”
“Ha! ha!” she laughed ; “ well, good
bye, Charley— that's my impression —ha!”
1 went to the glass, and surveyed myself
l for a moment, and verily, I believe I could
have passed for a Guinea negro without
the slightest difficulty. “And so,” said I
to myself, “this is love in a printing office.
The deuce flv away with such love.”
THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.
Calvin Colton, in bis eminently original
and scientific work, “Public Economy
for the United States,” devotes a long
and strong chapter to labor, presenting
the subject in many novel aspects. Mr.
Colton avers that heretofore labor has
occupied a false position in systems of
public economy, and that a vast amount
of doctrinal and practical error has been
the result; in short, that, as labor is so
important and all-pervading an element
in public economy, any system which
does not give to labor its true position,
must necessarily be vitiated to its core
and foundation. He says:
“Labor is capital, primary and funda
mental. The position which is usually
awarded, in systems of public economy, to
what is called capital, as if labor were not
capital, and capital of the most important
kind, has tended tb degrade labor, and to
strip it of its essential attributes as the pro
ducer of all adventitious wealth, or of that
state of things whichdistinguishescivilized
society from barbarism. It has also tended
to cloud one of the most important branch
es of public economy in obscurity, and led
to much embarrassment in the considera
tion of others. The natural order of things
is thus reversed: that which ought to be
first, is put last; the cause stands in place
of the effect; the agent is taken for the in
strument ; the producer for the thing pro
duced.
“ Labor is capital of its own kind, not
as a subject to be acted upon for the in
crease of its own value, but as an agent ;
that imparts value to every other kind of j
capital which it creates, or which, after i
having created, it employs as an instru
ment, or takes in hand for improvement.
It is doubtless true, that the faculties or
powers of labor are subjects of culture and
use, for the increase of their skill and effec
tiveness; and in this sense are subjects of
action for the increase of their value. In
this particular, the faculties or powers of
labor occupy the position of any other
kind of capital, as subjects of improvement
by labor itself. It will be observed, how
ever, that it is not labor, but the faculty of
labor, the value of which is thus increased.
“ Labor-capital is the parent of all other
capital. Other capital is chiefly, if not al
together, the creature of civilization,
though the same thing, in substance, may
be found in a savage state. But as a sub
ject of public economy, it is regarded as
one of the things receiving its definite form
and measure from the hand of civil polity.
It will be found, indeed, that the entire
structure of civilization owes its existence
to labor, and of course those parts of
it which derive theirtangible value from its
forms, and which aie regulated by them.
Civilization itself is secondary and minis
terial, in relation to all the capital which
j labor creates, and comes in to define and
protect it. It was in part the value of
I these products of labor which made civili
zation necessary, that it might receive a
definite form, and be made secure. No
man can apply his hand or point his fin
ger to a thing regarded as capital, which is
not the product of labor.
“The rocking of the cradle of American
independence, jostled into one of those dis.
tinctive elements on which the Free-Trade
economists have founded their system. It
broke down the barriers of classes, which
form the peculiar features of that system,
and the doctrine was then proclaimed, that,
i ‘all men are born free and equal.’ As be
fore, more especially from that time, this
nation became a community of working
men, in whose eyes labor is an honor; and
he who does not work, is the exception to
the general rule. Labor, therefore, in the
! United States, occupies an elevated, influ
ential honorable position. It is not that
man lives by work, but the man that lives
without work, that is looked upon with
disrespect. A gentleman of fortune and of
leisure, who does nothing, has far less con
■ sideration than he, who, though equally
| able to live without work, devotes himself
| to some useful pursuit.
w!sEliw ©&2§fM]f§a
“ Labor, work, is the spirit, the genius
of the American people. It was so from
the beginning by necessity ; it became a fix
ed habit of the community ; and has ever
been a part of the morale of the country.
It is a grand political exigency ; it was
nourished in a political cradle; it gradua
ted into manhood with political honors ;
il made with its own hands, and has ever
worked, the machinery of the political com
monwealth; it lies at the foundation of the
social edifice, pervades the entire structure,
and its escutcheon stands out in bold relief
from the pediment.
“It should be observed that labor is nev
er independent, when it ha 9 no alternative;
that is, when it is not strong enough in its
own position to accept or reject the wages
offered to it in any given case, if unsatis
factory, and when, in such a case, it can
not turn away, and live and prosper. When
it can do this, it not only has a voice in its
wages, but the parties in contract, the em
ployer and the employed, stand on a foot
ing of equality. This principle is equally
applicable to the producer of commodities
of any description, as the proprietor of a
farm, workshop, or any other producing
establishment, over which he presides, and
where, perhaps, he labors with his own
hands, as to him who works for hire. The
time has never yet been in the history of
the United States as an independent nation,
when labor was not in this sense an inde
pendent agent —when it could not reject an
unsatisfactory offer, and yet live. It is
not pretended that labor has been able to
dictate its own terms. That would be
equally improper and;unjust, as for the em
ployer to do it. But it has always had an
alternative. Asa last resort the American
laboror can at any time go to the back
woods. His independence is never necessa
rily sacrificed.”
IRON CROWN OF LOMBARDY.
This famed symbol of kingship is a
broad circle of gold, set with large rubies,
emeralds, and sapphires, and was deposi
ted in an ornamented cross placed over an
altar, closely shut up within folding doors
of gilt brass. The crown is kept in an oc
tagonal aperture in the centre of the cross.
It is composed of six equal pieces of beat
en gold, joined together by close hinges,
and the jewels and embossed gold orna
ments are set in a ground of blue and gold
enamel, interesting as exhibiting an
resemblance to the workmanship of the en
amelled pait of a gold ornament now in
the Ashmolean Museum, which once be
longed to King Alfred. But, for those who
have an appetite for relics, the most impor
tant part of this crown is a narrow iron
rim, which is attached to the inside of it all
around. The rim is about three-eights of
an inch thick, made out of one of the nails
used in the Crucifixion. The crown is
said to have been presented to Constantine,
by his mothei; and the sacred iron rim,
Irom which it has its name, was to protect
him in battle. And, although this iron has
now been exposed more than fifteen hun
dred years, there is not a speck of rust upon
it.

SUGGESTIONS ON HEALTH.
Children should be taught to use the left
hand, as well and as much as the right.
Infants should be sponged with cold wa
ter every day. They should be carried in
to the air every day of the season. They
should be nursed at regular intervals, once
in about three hours. From the time they
are weaned, until they have passed the first
dentition, children should be fed ou bread
and milk.
Coarse bread is better for children than
fine.
Children should sleep in separate beds,
and, where it is practicable, in separate
rooms, and should not wear night-caps.
Children under seven years of age should
1 not be confined over six or seven hours in
the house—and that time should be broken
by frequent recesses.
From the time of the first, to that of the
second dentition, children should be denied
animal food.
Child) en and young people must be made
to hold their heads up and shoulders back,
while standing, sitting or walking. The
! best beds for children are of hair, orin win
ter, of hair and cotton.
At proper times, and in proper places,
children should be indulged in the free use
of their limbs and lungs. A play-room is
[ a useful appendage to a house.
After the second dentition is passed,
j young people may eat all kinds of whole
some food. Young children should drink
only water. One pint of liquid to a person,
, a day, is sufficient for health ; and that
should neither be hot nor very cold, and
should be taken at some interval after eat
■ in g-
From one to one pound and a half of
solid food is sufficient for a person in the
ordinary vocations of business. Persons
in sedentary employments should drop one
third of their food, and they will escape
dyspepsia.
Young persons should walk at least two
hours a-day in the open air.
Young ladies should be prevented from
bandaging the chest. The author has
known three cases of insanity, terminating
in death, which began in this practice.
Every person, great or small, should
wash all over in cold water every morn
ing.
Reading aloud is conducive to health.
The more clothing we wear, other things
being equal, the less food we need.
Sleeping rooms should be furnished with
a fire-place, or some other mode of ventil
lation besides the windows.
The proper temperature of sleeping
rooms is from 55 to 60 degrees of Fahren
heit.
The temperature of a room warmed by
an open fire-place, is sufficiently high for
health and comfort at 70 degrees Fahren
heit, but in a room warmed by an air-tight
stove, needs to be at 73 degrees. Air tight
stoves are not good for health, unless the
room is plentifully supplied with cracks
and crevices.
Young people and others cannot read
and study much by lamp-light with impu
nity.
The best remedy for eyes weakened by
night use, is a fine stream of cold water
frequently applied to them.
When eyes fail by age, the aid of spec
tacles should be called in, instead of being
deferred as long as possible. —Dr f Warren's
Tract on Health.

SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURE.
Look at that wide valley, with its snow
clad summits at a distance on either hand,
and its glassy river flowing, cribbed and
confined, in the lowest bottom. Smiling
fields and well trimmed hedge-rows, and
sheltering plantations and comfortabledwel
lings, and a busy population, and abundant
cattle, cover its undulating slopes. For
miles industrious plenty spreads over a
country which the river formerly usurped,
and the lake covered, and the rush tufted
over, and bog and mossy heath and peren
nial fogs and drizzling rains rendered in
hospitable andchilly. But mechanics have
chained the river, and drained the lakes,
and bogs, and clayey bottoms; and thus
giving scope to the application of all the
varied practical rules to which science has
been subdued, disease extirpated, and rich
and fertile and happy homes scattered over
the ancient waste. Turn to another coun
try, and a river flows deeply through an
arid and desolate plain. Mechanics lift
its waters from their depths, and from a
thousand artificial channels direct them
over the parched surface. It isas if an en
chanter’s wand had teen stretched over it
—the green herbage and the waving corn,
companied by all the industries of rural
life, spring up as they advance. Another
country, and a green oasis presents itself,
busy with life, in the midst of a desert and
sandy plain. Do natural springs here gush
up, as in the ancient oasis of the Libyan
wilderness 1 It is another of the triumphs
of human industry, guided by human
thought. Geology and her sister sciences,
are here the pioneers of rural life and fix
ed habitations. The seat of hidden waters
at vast depths was discovered by her. Un
der her directions mechanics have bored to
their sources, and their gushing abundance
now spreads fertility around. Such are
more sensible and larger triumphs of pro
gressive rural economy—such as man may
well boast of—not only in themselves, but
in their consequences ; and they may take
their place with the gigantic vessel of war,
as magnificient results of intellectual effort.
— Blackwood's Magazine.
CORN, AND CORN MEAL COOKED.
There can be no safer position assumed
in agricultural economy, than that there is
a most important saving effected by cook
ing food. Science, indeed, has long since
demonstrated the fact, that quality as well
as quantity, is highly essential to the pro
motion and preservation of health; hence
the corollary appears irresistible that both
corn and meal, as well as barley, oats and
every other description of grain, are greatly
increased in value by cooking, when used
as a feed for stock. This will be more
manifest —assuming the first position to be
correct, when we state the obvious, well
known and incontrovertible fact, that corn,
by boiling, is increased in bulk two hun
dred per cent; to be more explicit, a bush
el of northern corn, after being boiled or
steamed, will measure three bushels. A
bushel of corn meal, absorbs, in the process
of cooking, or rather requires for the suc
cessful accomplishment of the object, near
ly five bushels of water —enough of the liq
uid being taken in, or absorbed, to increase
its volume from one bushel to four and a
half. Every pound of good meal, there
fore, will make four and a half pounds of
mush. These facts should, we think, go
far towards introduceing the practice of
cooking food into general use. They cer
tainly exhibit its advantages in a strong
light.— Boston Olive Branch..
IRISH POTATOES.
Mr. Editor; —Having seen an article in
i your valuable paper, (the January number,)
; on the culture of the Irish Potato, and the
plan differing from the one I have adopted,
I will briefly give you mine. I break my
land twice very deep, about the first of Jan
uary. I then lay off my rows from 12 to
15 inches apart, with a shovel plow, run
twice in the same furrow. I then cut my
potatoes and drop them ten inches apart,
place them in the bottom of the furrow with
the eye up; then scatter stable manure
slightly on the potatoes. This done I fill
the furrow with rotton wheat straw, or oak
leaves, (the straw is preferable;) scatter
the straw or leaves all over the ground to
the depth of 12 inches; or sufficient to keep
the weeds from coining up. Ido no more
to my potatoes until they are fit for use.
The potatoes raised in this manner are
much whiter and more tender than those 1
raised in the ground. When the potatoes
are large enough for use, just raise the
straw, pick the large ones off', and leave
the small ones; placing the straw back
again. In this manner Igo over my patch
several times in the season. 1 think moie
potatoes can be raised on the same land,
with less labor in this way, than any other
plan that I have seen tried. A Planter.
*- -
Shady Dale. Ga., May2B, 1848.
Messrs. Grieve If Urme :—l have conclu
ded to give you my mode of saving Sweet
Potatoes. I have tried it now two years,
and find it the best way I ever saw. Make
your bed a foot or a foot and a half high,
of dirt; then make a thick layer of grass,
(not straw,) and then put in your potatoes,
as long as it will hold them. Put more
grass around them the same thickness, and
cover it with corn stalks and dirt; then
make a pen, and with some boards make a
shelter over them, and you will have as
good and sweet a potato in April as you
wish to eat. A Young Farmer.

The Proprietor begs leave to announce that

be frequently
Illustrated with. Wood Cuts!
Every number will contain careful and coploui
summaries of the latest

The literary and moral tone of Riehardi’
Gazette arc 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 ‘^tiich

We congratulate Mr.

ruu, and one who knows how to get up a good
Kam”’ We t 0 U aud hi “ L ** W
literary journal, print©4 at Athens,
a, *’ now issued in folio form, and makes an
| elegant appearance. The last number came
brimful of good things ; and, indeed, every ism®
bears evidence that uic editor spares no pains
make a first class paper. If our Southern friends
do not sustain him, it must be because their vis
ion is telescopic, and can detect no excellence UDf
less it shines Irom afar.— Yankee Blade.
Mr. Richards deserves success, for his enter
prise and perseverance and this, as a Family
Newspaper, will, without doubt, in its morai ;
tone, be immeasurably above the catch-penny af
fairs lrom Northern cities. —Cherokee Advocate.
It is a beautifully printed sheet, ably managed,
and contains part first of the prize story, for
which the propietor paid fifty dollars. This sto
ry is a beautiful production, and is written by
that “reputable” and polished authoress, Mrs
C aroline Lee Hentz.— Am. Union , (Boston.)
We take great pleasure in recommending this
weekly to the favorable consideration and patron
age of the reading community. It makes an im
posing appearance. The Gazette is an imperial
sheet, good paper, handsomely executed and fill
ed with well-written and interesting matter. R
numbers among its contributors several distin
guished writers Mirror of the Times. (N. Y.)
This transformation of tho “ Southern Literary
Gazette comes to us nowise deteriorated fromth#
original. In all “ save form alone,” it bears the
same marks of literary and artistic excellence*
and we trust will long receive tho bright smile ol

It has now entered on its new year, enlarged
and very much improved. As this is the only P*

ought to bo most liberally patronized by thor*
