jPj&llTfl&'g. 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! 3SB ~f l> il B 3 o 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. a BK 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. If 818 gABBaBIS. 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.
