Junius Smith. He j was originally from Litchfield, Conn., a j student of Yale College; a merchant of New.York ; hut the greater portion of his I life a resident of London. Several years * were devoted by him to the great subject I of Atlantic steam navigation. Having de- ; monstrated that thiscould be accomjdished | by the passage of the Situs, he continued the agent of that line until the loss of the : President, when the company wound up their concerns, with an immense loss to | himself. Mr. Smith was obliged to turn his attention to some other occupation. Ills exertions were mainly instrumental in getting a bill through Congress empower- 1 ing the Postmaster General—the memora ble Cave Johnson—to make contracts for carrying the mail; hut instead of giving the contract for the Atlantic mail to Mr. Smith, the worthy Cave gave it to Mr. Mills, of your city. Mr. Smith had but one child, who mar ried the Rev. Mr. Maddock, a clergyman of tire English church, who was#fter\vards appointed by the East India Company a chaplain, and removed with his wife to a station in the Himalaya mountains, where the company have large tea plantations. Sofne three years ago this daughter wrote a letter to her father, calling his attention to the subject of tea, and recommending its introduction into the United States. The old gentleman was struck with tlie idea; and after giving the subject the most atten. live examination, became convinced that it was practicable, and in the 69th year of his age took the matter in hand with the great est earnestness. He iouud that the soil, climate, and latitude of several of the States of this Union, by comparison with the great tea districts of China, were adapt, cd to its cultivation; for the tea plant flour ishes in its greatest strength between the 20th and 10th degrees of latitude, and that, contrary to popular opinion, it is proof against severe frosts, snow storms, and al! the stern severities of winter. After ma king a very extended examination in dif ferent States, he selected, as the best spot he could find for the exi>criment, this re gion. His tea garden is about three-fourths of a mile from this village. In the fall of 1848, about 500 plants were received fiom China, via London, and in December they were planted in his garden. A considera ble quantity of tea seed was planted at the some time. 1 now proceed to give you the result. Every one knows what a tremendous se vere winter and spring were the last. The plants were left to take care of themselves; and yet, the larger portion of them are un harmed, and art? now in a flourishing con dition. I saw several specimens of the grctu and black plant in bud. The exper ■ mil Ea kiki ted beyond n doubt. Mr. Smith has only to follow it tip, and increase ; his stock by new plant.I', 1 ', cuttings and seed. ft is of slow growth, l.ike the oak, the j tea plant buds one year, but docs not fruit ! till the next.—Next year, 1 presume, Mr. smilh will begin to pick tea, although his ’ gicat object for some time to come will he to increase the quantity of his plants. The tea seed was planted at a wrong season, I and did not amount to anything, lie is I daily expecting an increased number and , assortment of plant!), and more seed ; the ! latter if planted at the right season, (in the spring) will succeed, I think. Mr. Smith has a garden superior to anything about ! here. It contains only an acre of ground, j ’ He has erected a snug little cottage in onej corner of it, where he is as happy, content- j j ed. and confident of success,as man can be. ‘ ’ Having satisfied himself, by actual experi- j ment, that his theory was correct, he has j prepared to increase his operations, by pur- j chasing about three hundred acres of sui table land on the Saluda river, nine miles j from the village, where bis future* opera-1 lions will be on an increased scale. But j his tea garden and plantation do not occu- Ipy the whole attention of Mr. Smith. He ■ is an agriculturist and horticulturist by ex perience. lie has introduced into this sec tion, and brought to perfection, the finest of foreign fruits. I noticed a large number of fig trees, dates and grapes, which he has procured from Europe, and which will un doubtedly flourish here as well as there. 1 1 have been daily in the habit of eating fresh figs as good as any 1 ever met with in Eu rope, and I see no reason why they should not be cultivated and prepared for the! Northern market, to an esxtent that shall supersede the necessity of their importation from abroad. The same remarks will ap ply to dates and almonds. It is really re freshing to see an intelligent old man who has passed his three score and ten, devo ting the remainder of his life to successful. !y accomplish an object which can never benefit him personally. I have no doubt in my mind that the introduction of the tea plant into this country will prove of vast and incalculable benefit to the Union. It has been attended with great expense, all 1 of which has been borne by the old gentle man himself. With his own resources he has published a work on the cultivation of the tea plant, written by himself, and which j his actual experiments have partially de monstrated to be true. Mr. Smith estimates j the annual consumption of tea in the Uni i ted States to eleven millions of pounds, in | Europe, fifty ; total sixty-one millions. He estimates the productions in China | to be over nine hundred millions of pounds, ■of which the Chinese export only about ; seventy million. He supposes that an acre of land will produce 547 pounds; conse quently the cultivation of 20,10!) acres of land in the fourteen- tea growing States, will supply the present consumption of the United States. To supply Europe would require 91,411 acres of land. He supposes that there are fourteen of our States that would grow tea, and that 111,520 acres of land, cultivated as tea plantations, avera ging 7,905 for each of the fourteen States, will supply the consumption of the article both for Europe and the United States. It may be some years before tea plantations become general, but that they will eventu ally be found in this region I e'o not doubt. Mr. Smith deserves a great share of credit for his bold undertaking. More than that —this State that he has honored by select- i ing for his first experiment, and to which it j i will prove of great benefit, ought to encottr- j age and sustain the old gentleman, and give j him the means to extend his operations to j an extent that will prove of immediate ben- j I efit to the State and the country at large. 1 1 Meadows. —All meadows which have ! ’ nearly run out may be greatly increased in > their products by the following manage-1 j ment: After being mowed and the hay cured and removed, spread on each acre ! 20 bushels of ashes and 5 of ground bones; i harrow and cross harrow these in; then i sow a peck of timothy seed to the acre ; ! lightly harrow and roll; and you may thus i renew your meadow without incurring the I trouble and expense of ploughing, with as j sura nee that it would yield good crops of , grass for several years, I Wateu Melon Rind Preserves— j When the rind becomes a little transpar jant in the brine, put it into fresh water, for a day and night, changing the water sever al times; then boil it for one hour, very fast, in fresh water, cover with grape leaves to ; green them. Take them up; and drop in [cold water enough to cool them quickly; , then weigh, and to each pound of rind add i two pounds of sugar, and boil it rapidly, ’ | with a few pieces of ginger. When done, j they are very transparent; add, when cold, 1 ! a few drops essenc of leino. ‘j A Good Suggestion. Rev. Mr. Chou ’ les, in an address on Agricultural subjects, ’ says: “ I wish that we could create a general passion for Gardening and llorti ■ culture—we want more beauty about our f houses. The scenes of onr childhood are the memories of our future years. Let our dwellings be beautiful with plants and flowers. Flowers are, in the language of a late cultivator, ‘the playthings of child hood and the ornaments of the grave ; they 1 raise smiling looks to man and grateful ’ | ones to God.’ ” To Correct Damaged Grain. Musty ■ grain, totally unfit for use, and which can 1 scarcely be ground, can, it issaid, be render ed perfectly sweet and sound by immersing . it in hot water, and letting it remain until the water becomes cold. The quantity of ■ water must be double that of the grain to be purified. The musty quality rarely penetrates through the busk or bran of the wheat. In the hot water, all the decayed or ratten grains swim upon the surface. so that the remaining wheat is effectually cleansed Van all impuriti. without at.v Eiiiiaii© 0 wiQE&u ©aaitifi. material loss. It is afterwards to be dried, stiring occasionally otr the kiln. Prolific Cotton. We were shown the other day a stalk of cotton grown upon the plantation of Mr. Win. McNary, contain ing “ five hundred and fifty-live bolls and squares.” This we are informed, is an accidental growth, and no particular pains had been taken in its cultivation. An acre of such cotton matured, we are certain would yield twenty-five hundred or three thousand pounds. —Abbeville Banner. thus EnjidOSiaav. i . A.’vJ \ V^-'tv ~ V TUB FAITHFUL DOG. A STORY OF A DARING BURGLARY BY UNCLE TOBY. The Messrs. Herbert kept a very exten sive jewelry establishment in one of out large cities, and for the better security of their store against fire and other casualties they employed one of their clerks to sleep in it at night. The idea of the store’s be ing attacked by robbers was not for a mo ment entertained, but it was for other ob jects, such as security from fire, and the like, that young Loring, the clerk, slept there, for he xvas not supplied with any weapons to repel an attack of thieves. But one dark, dreary night he was awak ened by a singular noise which resembled that which a party of burglars might pro duce in an attempt to enter the building, and looking towards the back windows, he soon satisfied himself that one or more persons Were endeavoring, as quietly as possible, to effect an entrance at that quarter. They bad already removed a part of the sash and shutters with their cunningly devised instruments, and must have been at work some time before he was awakened. Now young Loring regretted that he had no weapon, but not through fear, that was not a characteristic of the young gen tleman, but that he might pepper the rogues a little. At first he determined to cry out and arouse the watch, but as they had advanced so far before he xvas awake he thought he would drive them off by stratagem 1 He slipped off his clothes qui etly, and approaching the spot where the thieves were busy, he saw the hand of one or them passed inside of the shutter into the store, in its owner’s endeavors to guide a small handsaw with which he was cutting an aperture for his body to pass through. Young Loring felt inclined to chop off the hand with a small hatchet that lay hard by, hut he refrained, and bethought himself of a powerful preparation of a caustic vitriol and other penetrating stuffs that were used in the testing of the purity |of silver and other metals. One drop of ( this would eat instantly into the flesh and I produce a poisonous sore in ten minutes. | time. He cautiously dropped a little upon ! the burglar's hand and awaited the result. I “Bill,” at length exclaimed the burglar 1 to his comrade, “ I’ve got acursed burning |on the back of my hand. It’s so sore I can hardly work this saw. Phew ! how it | smarts ! I guess I’ve cut it with the saw. I Hold the dark lantern here.” “ Fudge !” replied his companion’ | “change hands then, but don’t stop.” i • Take the saw yourself, then! I can’t stand this pain!” And while the discomfited burglar with drew to groan over the supposed cut, the other took his place with the saw, and in a moment after received a few drops of the fiery liquid upon the hack of his hand, and was soon groaning with agony. “Curse this saw ! it has cut me, too!” groaned the second thief. And after sundry oaths mutually * ex changed, until the first and worst attack of pain was over, they renewed the attempt to make an entrance. The clerk permitted them to go on a while uninterruptedly, knowing that at any moment he could stop their efforts by crying out, but he hoped to hear some watchman passing the front of the store, upon whom he could call to secure the rogues, and he resolved to wait for this un til it would do to wait no longer. But soon the burglars had so much enlarged the hole that they would shortly be able to enter by it themselves. Seeing that be must do something to stop them the clerk crept in the dark close at one side of the window, and uttered a low but fierce prou-l in imitation of a dog. Both of the rogues stepped hack at this 1 unexpected interruption. “Hang it, Bill, there’s a cursed dog in there. I didnt know that the llurberts kept one,” said one to the other. “ A dog ! that's bad. Curse ’em, if it was a man, why a shot or a dirk stroke would fix him; but a dog is quite another • thing, for if we shot him he'd be sure to half kill one of us!” “Bow, wow, wow!” cried the clerk 1 with all his power, as he saw them prepar ing to resume their work. “Confound the dog!” exclaimed Doth. “ Never mind; go ahead. Bill, and get it open, now. I'll fix him when wc get in.” Tine burglar addressed as Bill, thrust his hand in once more to wrench oil the last niece of woo P that obstructed their eu trance, when the clerk, having already ar med himself with a large pair of pincers, seized the robber’s hand as though in a vice, and sat up such an outrageous hark ing that the whole neighborhood was a ; firmed. “ For heaven’s sake, Jack, lend us a hand here ; this cursed animal is biting my hand half off!” said the burglar to his confederate. “ Pull it away—pull it away quick.” “ I can’t.” “Give it a jerk!’ r said the other. “O-o-o! I can't! murder, murder!” This cry, added to the bellowing of the supposed dog. soon brought the watch in good earnest, and the thief, who was at liberty to do so, ran for his life, j The w atebman’s lights showed Bill Sikes that he had been bitten by a pair of pincers. This is a fact, and occurred in New ; York City during the winter of 1841 ; and I Bill Sikes served out his imprisonment at Blackwell’s Island.— Flag us our Union. To be Let Alone. —Erery one has | heard the story of a man who, when look ing at a house, asked the servant, a pretty girl, ts she was to be let with the house. “ No sir,” she replied, “ if you please, I am to be let alone.” The origin of this witti cism is not so well known, and it will sur prise most readers to learn, that it is to be found in the works of a very pious writer, (who was born in the year 1592,) Francis Quarles. We extract the epigram contain ; ing it. ON THE WORLDLY AVOMEN. ] This house is to be let for life or years; lier rent is sorrow, and her income tears ; Cupid has stood long void; her bills mudo known; She must be dearly let—or let alone. The Long and Short of It. —The Ed itor of the Asheville (N. C.) 3lessenger would seem to be a man-of-all-work, judg ing from the following good and sufficient reasons given in his last issue, fot;the small quantity of editorial: Our editorial (fortunately for our readers) is short this week. We have no apology to make, only that we are an editor, a squire, county register, house and sign painter, tavern keeper, singing master, fiddler, “dad dy” of two children and a first rate boot black and white washer. Having our pro fessional engagements sometimes pretty well divided, it is out of our power to “do equal and exact justice” to all, without crackling a brain or splitting our cabbage head.

WONDERS OF PHILOSOPHY. The polypus, like the fabled hydra, re ceives new life from the knife which was raised to destroy it. There are four thou sand and forty-one muscels in a caterpillar. Hook discovered four thousand mirrors in the eyes of a drone; and to effect the respi ration of a cup, thirteen thosand three hun dred arteries, vessels, veins, bones, &c., are necessary. The body of every spider contains four little masses, pierced with a number of imperceptible holes, each hole j permitting the passage of a single thread ; ; all the threads, to the amount of a thous and to each mass, join together when they j come out, and make the single thread, with I which the spider spins his web; so that I what we call a spider's thread, consists of more than four thousand united. Lewen jhock. by means of microscopes, observed j spiders, no bigger than a grain of sand, ( which spun, threads so fine, that it took j four thousand of them to equal in magni j tude a single hair. PAPER MADE BY WASPS. I The Tradesman’s Journal says that the manufacture of paper, the secret of which was not discovered for centuris, has been | carried on by the wasp ever since the crea- I tion. They make it in the same way and |by the same materials; the insects is pecu | iiarly fastidious and is cautious to take no thing which is of a filamentous nature, as j the pulp of linen rags. It consequently re jects saw-dust and everything of that kind, ; and resorts to the filaments of wood and j decayed vegetables, which have rotted in i the rain. These are worked uu by means of a glutinous secretion, converted into a ball, which is easily conveyed to the spot j where it is required. The substance of I this ball is then rolled off into threads, and these, by the constant passing and repass [ ing of sufficient thickness to resist the rain.” | With all the aids, therefore, of chemistry land machinery, men are now manufactur- I ing paper in substantially the same way ! tliis insignificant insect has done forthous l ands of years. XKsf A chemist, named Melsense, has i made a discovery which will revolutionize the whole system of making sugar, both I beet root and cane. It is stated that almost 1 the only labor required, is to get the beet root and cane juice ready, when a certain .powder is thrown in among the liquor, and the sugar begins to form into chrystals perfectly clarified, the sugar produced be i ing pure white.
