GOOD ADVICE.
The agricultural department of the il/us
eogce Democrat contains the following
very sound and sensible suggestions to the
Farmers of the South. Let them heed its
counsels :
“Tast experience should warn us of the
danger to the Farmers’ of a sudden rise in
Cotton. Land and Negroes advance in the
same proportion, and, in too many instan
ces, we sec the Farmers crazy to invest
the proceeds of his crop, in extended plan
tations and in extra Negroes, and this too,
when the inflated prices of Cotton induces
every kind of property to sell for more
than its real value. Look around you,
and behold how many of your neighbors
and friends have been ruined or deeply in
jured by rash speculations, in times of
cotton excitement. If any of you are
cursed with more money than you know
what to do with, improve the lands you
already cultivate. Beautify and adorn the
homestead, and if your heart is near burst
ing with the idea of extending the field of
your operations just increase the area of
your Kitchen Garden, and encourage your
children to the culture of flowers.
Husband all the resources of your plan
ation, for a low priced cotton crop ; study,
and apply the manures; experiment with
fruits and grasses, try the different breeds
of stock, and when another four cent cot
ton crop is raised, you may he found like
unto the wise virgins, with your “lamps
trimmed and burning.”
And if land and Negroes you must have
wait until cotton is down and then you
can enter the market, with cash in hand,
and make your own selection almost at
your own prices. But above all, whether
cotton is high or low, keep out of debt.—
Whether you have an acre of land, or a
single Negro, keep out of debt: but if you
are determined to purchase on a credit,
trusting to a still higher rise to meet your
payments, let me reccommend you to take
one of Reuben Rich's Patent Cast Iron
Water Wheels, tit it snugly around your
neck, and lay yourself carefully down in
the” bed of the River! * The loss to your
family will be nothing in comparison with
the living incumbrance, of the day and
night dreams, of that worst of all, of hu
man slavery, the thaldom of debt.
[From tho South Carolinian.]
SOUTHERN CLOVER.
It is somewhat astonishing that among
the various projects for improving our
lands, it seems never to have attracted gen
eral observation that we have in every
garden a plant mote completely adapted to
the purpose, and more suited to our climate,
than any other. 1 speak of the Tomato ;
and I affirm, without hesitation, that em
ployed as a fertilizer, it would do more for
us than clover, or any other green crop,
has done or can do. for the North.
If any one will go into his garden in the
fall of the year, and observe the immense
quantity of vegetable matter deposited by
ihis plant, and its effect upon tho soil, lie
will he convinced of the truth of what 1
say. The soil all around and under it is
left rich and black and loose ; and what
ever vegetable is planted after it the suc
ceeding year grows off with a vigor equal
to that imparted by any other vegetable
manure.
1 know a gentleman of some experience
and considerable judgment, whose practice
it is to have all the Tomato balls that he
can procure to he gathered every fall and
thrown into his horse and cow lots, to be
mixed with the dung, and carried out into
his plantation the next spring. Care is
taken, in the cultivation of his corn and
cotton crops, not to cut this plant up. It
does not, as is well known, expand to any
great extent until late in the season, and,
therefore, interferes but very slightly, if at
all, with the crop ; and its beneficial effects
upon his land are found to exceed those of
tlie pea.
A small lot might be selected to be plan
ed with this vegetable exclusively for the
sake of the seed. These might lie scatter
ed, far and wide, over the plantation ; and
if this were done, 1 will answer for it that
be who makes the experiment will, in the
end, not be disappointed.
1 do not see why the seed might not be
washed out, and mixed with small grain
when that is sown. It would not have
grown up before the grain is cut, and then,
I suppose it would cover the ground more
completely and more uniformly than any
other weed.
1 hope it will be tried. Like every oth
er method of improvement of poor land, its
effects must necessarily be slow. Such
land, at first will not produce plants of
great size. Neither would this produce
clover or anything else vigorously. These
who are of a sanguine temperament, and
expect wonders to be effected out right,
would be disappointed. Hut those who
are patient and diligent (and none else
ever did, or ever will, succeed) are earnest
ly invited to consider these suggestions and
institute experiments, with a full convic
tion that their pains and their labor will
(in the end, I repeat) be well rewarded.—
This is a good season to gather the pods
and seeds.

OIL SPRINGS.
It seems that there are oil Springs in
Arkansas the curative qualities ot which
exceed anything yet heard of. They are
found in the territory of the Chickasaw In
dians, and if the report of their virtues be
correct, they will be a great resort for in
valids. A correspondent of the Fort Smith
Herald describes these springs as follows
“The oil springs are about twenty-five
miles in a Northwest direction from Fort
Washita, on the cast side of the false
Washita, and about three miles from it, on
a stream of beautiful clear water, that has
a fall or successive falls of about ninety
feet. The oil exudes from the rock or
did'overhanging these falls, in drops the
size of a goose quill, having the taste,
smell, and consistency of British oil. It
has been told me that this oil and water
with which ; t mingles, has by drinking and
rubbing externally, effected some of the
most astonishing cures of Chronic Rheu
matism and Mercurial Affections that have
ever been known. Persons have been
carried there doubled up with disease or
emaciated to skeletons, coming away, in a
very short time, cured perfectly, with a
new lease on dear life.
A NEW DEATH DEALING WEAPON.
In the shape of a Rifle, has just been
brought out in New-York, that, besides its
more legitimate usesamong sportsmen, must
render war still further impracticable. This
rifle, known as Jenning’s Patent Rifle, is
designed to be an almost endless repeater ,
and to avoid the great difficulty of capping
and priming each load, and also to be un
commonly free from dirt, added to which is
a force which we have never seen equal
led. The Journal of Commerce says its ap
pearance and weight do not differ from the
common gun, except that it has an iron
breech, with a wooden stock.
“By a simple, contrivance within this
stock, the breech-pin of the barrel is open
ed as the gun is cocked. A cartridge is
placed in this opening, and on pulling the
trigger, the pin closes the barrel tight, a
strong block of steel falls behind it, and the
gun primes itself and is discharged, all at
one motion. It is so simple, that it can
hardly’ by any accident get out of order.
It is capable of being loaded at the breech
as often as it is fired o(F, and as radidly as
a man's hand can move to throw in a cart
j ridge. This is at the rate of 12 shots per
minute, for a person who has practiced
with the gun.”
Another variety of the same g-un is now
nearly completed by the patentees, in which
the ram-rod is a tube of the same size, ca
pable of.containing 24 cartridges,which are
so arranged that they are placed in the bar
rel one by one, and fired successively with
out any interruption. The moment that the
24th ball is fired, this gun may be used as
the first one, loaded at the breech.
But the chief strength of this formidable
weapon rests on the cartridge which is used,
and for which, indeed, the gun is express
ly manufactured. This cartridge, which i
also patented, is simply a loaded ball. A
hollow cone of lead, or rather a bullet elon
gated on one side in a hollow cylinder to
about one inch in length, is filled with pow
der, and the end covered with a thin piece
of cork, through the centre of which is a
small hole, to admit fire from the priming.
The execution which this ball does, is no
less surprising than everything else con
nected with the gun. At foity rods the
balls were buried more than four inches in
the body of a live butternut tree.
The priming is in small pills, of which
100 are placed in a box, from which the
gun supplies itself without fail.

CIRCASSIA.
j Circassia is a mountainous, but very
j fine and beautiful country, bordering upon
| the Black Sea, at its eastern extremity, lt
is also contiguous to the Russian Territory
lying towards the extremity of the Euxine.
; and interposes its lofty mountains and fer
tile valleys between the clutch of Russia
and those more level and less wild coun
tries towards tiie Euphrates and the Tigris
It is the aim of this ambitious power, Rus
sia. to become possessed, if it can, of all
! the realms contiguous to the Black Sea,
jon all sides. On one side ‘the Wolf”
has already laid his paws on the Danubian
! provinces, on Moldavia, Bulgaria, Wal
j lachia, and is on this side, therefore, fast
J advancing to Constantinople. But before
lit can enslave the tracts lying on the
j Southern coast of this sea, it must subdue
and pass the fine people who hold Circas
sia—a race, in physical requisites, the
I finest specimen of men now to be found on
the face of the globe, and of courage, and
activity unsurpassable. Against these no
ble but unoffending people the Muscovite
! serfs have now for many years, been car
, lying on a cruel and bloody war. No
1 quarter is given ; and the amount of lives
lost is not known excepting, that generally
it is very great. It is believed that, taking
battle, sickness, fatigue, altogether in one
account, not le*s than 200 000 Russian
serfs have left their bones among the wild
passes ; and this without gaining any
ground that is tenable. The C/.ar, in fur
therance of this murderous conflict, tries

REPENTANCE.
Kate Staunton was too human to be al
ways wise. A being who should never
err, would neither claim our sympathy nor
our belief. Neither is their exemption
from error that which marks even the
characters of highest worth, as characters
are found in real life, (n fact, so fraught
with error is all human conduct, that there
exists another rule by which character
may be judged more fairly—it is the con
duct after error has been commuted. From 1
youth to age it is this which speaks the
real truth with regard to human character.
It is the tear of sorrow, the yielding, the
penitence, which proves the real heart of
the child. It is the self-conviction, the hu
mility, the willingness to be corrected, j
which proves the hopefulness of youth. — j
It is the self-examination, the anguish, the
penitential prayer, which proves how earn
est is the broken hearted wanderer to re
turn. Kven in a worldly point of view, it
is the recovery after every failure in dis
cretion which makes the wise and prudent
man—it is the quick perception of hi own
mistakes, perhaps before others have per
ceived them, and the instant adoption
of counteracting measures, before any seri
ous consequences have ensued.— Homes
and Hearts , by Mrs. Ellis.
WORTH OF A* JEW’S PRAYER,
The country around us was cultivated
with the grain called dra, and there was
every prospect of a favorable harvest.
“God be praised,” said the Kaid, “for
his bounty; last year in truth, we had a
sad prospect for the crops : and had not
my master, Seedy Abn Selam E’Slowly,
ordered the Jews—God curse them ! to
pray for rain, I know not what would
have become of God’s creatures.”
“Why did not the Mussulmans,” said
I, “ offei up their prayers'?”
“So they did,” he replied, “and for
twenty days and nights; and to the ban
ner of each mosque was affixed a prayer
written by the Fckee himself. The pray
ers floated in the face of heaven, but all in
vain; for the prayers of the faithful are
like music to God, who is worthy of all
praise ; and therefore the Almighty, re
joicing in the sweet sound of our suplica
tion, granteth not the desires of our pray
ers, for he wishes us to continue still to
pray. But no sooner is he tormented with
the disgusting prayers of Jews and Infidels
than he grants forthwith their petitions,
in order to be freed from their importuni
ties.”
ROMANTIC ELOPEMENT.
On Friday night last, Mr. Thomas B |
and Miss Matilda G ,of this city, elop- j
ed to Covington, and were married. On ‘
Friday it wasdiscovetedby the father that
his daughter had made an “ arrangement ”
to leave him to marry a man he had for
bidden her hand, and he was determined
to keep “an eye” on her. It. had been
arranged and her father had found it out,
and she knew it, that the young lady
should meet the young man and lover to
gether. at a certain place, in a carriage, and
go to Covington. After dinner, the father
was asked, much to his surprise, to accom
pany his daughter to the very place of
meeting which had been appointed, and
they were to start at four o’clock. So the
the father went about his business till the
appointed time—returning he found his
daughter had started before his return.
In vain he sought her; but knowing they
would cross in the ferry boat, he station-1
c.l himself on it, and hailed every carriage
that passed, but found no daughter. At
length an empty carriage came aboard, j
and on the same trip, a ragged cripple. |
limping naturally, and staring about as!
though he had never seen a boat before’ 1
He was accompanied by a youthful look-!
ing personage in male attire. The ferry
boat passed over, and the carriage stopped !
at the foot of the hill for the driver to ar
range the harness (all pretext) and the!
ragged boy and companion waited there j
until the boat again shoved off to return !
to this side. Then Mr. B and Miss
G——, (for it was they in disguise) jump- j
ed into the carriage, rode to the priest, ■
threw off their disguise, were married, and j
returned to the ferry on their way home. !
The young lady met her father, who was
still on watch, and told him what had been !
done, and bow he was cheated by the rag-!
ged boy and herself in boy’s clothes, and \
then she mildly asked papa's pardon,
which, reluctantly, was granted, and the j
bride, bridegroom, and the old gentleman, i
rode home together, making an ending of I
an elopement quite agreeable.— Cincinnati j
paper.
LAUGHTER.
Without it our faces would have been ‘
rigid, hyena-like. The iniquities of oui j
hearts, with no sweet antidote to work up
on them, would have made the face of the
best among us a horrid, husky thing, with
two sullen, hungry lights at the top—for
foreheads would then have gone out of
fashion—and a cavernous hole below his
nose. Think of a babe without laughter—
as it is its first intelligence! The creature
shows the. divinity of its origin and end
by smiling upon us. Yes ; smiles are its
first talk with the world, smiles the first
answer that it understands. * And then, as
worldly wisdom comes upon the little
thing, it crows, it chuckles, it grins, and
shakes in its nurse’s arms, or, in waggish
humor playing bo-peep with the parent, it
reveals its high destiny, declares to him
with cars to hear the heirdom of its immor
ality. Let materialistsblpsphemeas ginger
ly and acutely as they will: they must find
confusion ir. laughter. Man my take a
triumphant, stand upon broad grins; for
he looks around the world, and his in
nermost soul, sweetly tickled with the
knowledge, - tells him that he, of all crea
tures, laughs. Imagine, if yon can, aj
laughing fish. Let man, then, senda loud
ha! through the universe, and be rever
ently grateful that for the privilege.—
Douglas Jerrahl.
TRUE POETRY.
Coleridge remarks very pertinently some
where that wherever you find a sentence
musically worded, of true rythm and mel
ody in the words, there is something deep
and good in the meaning, too. For body
and soul, word and idea, go strangly to
gether, here as everywhere. Song: we
said before, that it was the Heroic of
Speech ! All old l’oems. Iloiner’s and the
rest, are authentically songs. 1 would
say, in strictness, that all right I’oems are ;
that whatsoever is not sung is properly no
Poem, hut a piece of Prose cramped into
jingling lines, —to the great injury of the
grammar, to the great grief of the reader,
for most part]! What we want to get at is
the thought the man had, if he had any ;
why should he twist it into jingle, if he
could speak it out plainly? It is only
when the heart of him is rapt into true
passion of melody, and the very tones of
him, according to Coleridge’.s remark, bc
-1 come musical by the greatness, and depth of
his thoughts, that we can give him right
to rhyme and sing; that we can call him a
Poet, and listen to him as the Heroic of
Speakers—whose speech is Song.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
In Lieut. Lynch’s “Dead Sea Expedi
| lion,” we find the following reference to
j a probable future invasion of Turkey by
the Russians:
“ A littje below Buyukdcre,” says Lt.
L , “on the Asiatic shore, there is a rude
granite column upon a projecting point,
j which indicates the last encampment of
i tea thousand Russians, on the march to
j succor Constantinople, when threatened by
i Mehemet Ali, of Egypt.
I “When Constantinople was rescued from
| the clutches of this rebellious pasha by the
j interposition of the European powers, he
j came as a tributary to render homage to the
j Sultan. While here, he selected, as the
i‘ site of the palace he was required to build,
; the promontory immediately below and in
; full sight of the one upon which the Rtis-
I sian column is erected, as if to intimate
j to posterity that, if the Russians came
| thus far, he had preceded them, and that
it was the fear of him that brought them.
“These are ominous signs—the first es
pecially ; for, if a Russian army can so
speedily and unexpectedly (it came with
\ out a summons) reach the environs of
Constantinople, what is to prevent the
same rapid movement of a hostile and yet
more powerful force ? Os their danger the
Turks are well aware, but instead of pre
paring to resist, in the spirit of fatalism
they supinely await the dread event. —
There is a tradition among them, that they
are to be driven from Europe by a light
haired race from the North, and their fears
have settled upon the Russians. The pre
j diction will work its own accomplishment;
the unhappy presentiment of the Turk, (for
the feeling amounts to such,) will be more
than embattlqd hosts against him, and the
dispassionateiobserver can already predict,
not only hislexpulsion from Europe, but
the downfall of the Ottoman empire. The
handwriting is on the wall, and it needs
not a Daniel to interpret it.”
r
GIUSEI’RE THE VINE DRESSER.
Leigh Hunt tells love stories delightfully—
with a sort of kitchen-fire-side famil
iarity w hich is charming, in the most re
fined writer of the age. Here is one
which turns upon the phenomenon that
occurred during the earthquake which
destroyed Messina.
Giuseppe, a young vine-grower in a
village at the foot of the mountainslooking
towards Messina, was in love with Ma
ria, a daughter of the richest bee-masterof
the place ; and his affection, to the great
displeasure of the father, was returned.—
The old man, though he had encouraged
him at first, wished her to marry a young
profligate in the city, because the latter
was richer and of a higher stock ; hut the
girl had a great deal of good sense as well
as feeling; and the father was puzzled
how to separate them, the families having
been long acquainted. He did everything
in his power to render the visits of the lo
ver uncomfortable to both parties; hut as
they saw through his object, and love can
endure a great deal, he at length thought
himself compelled to make use of insult.—
Contriving, therefore, one day to proceed
from one mortifying word to another, he
took upon him, as if in right of offence, to
anticipate his daughter’s usual attention to’
the parting guest, and show him out of the
door himself, adding a broad hint that it
might be as well if he did not return very
soon .
“Perhaps, Signor Antonio,” said the
youth, piqued at last to say something
harsh himself, “you do not wish the son
of your old friend to return at all ?”
“ Perhaps not,” said tile bee-master.
“What,” said the poor lad, losing all
the courage of his anger in the teirible
thought of his never having any more of
those beautiful lettings out of the door by-
Maria—“ what! do you mean to say 1
may not hope to be invited again, even by
yourself ?—that you yourself will never
again invite me, or come to see me?”
“ Oh, we shall all come, of course, to
the groat Signor Giuseppe,” said the old
man, looking scornful—“ all cap in hand.”
“Nay, nay,” returned Giuseppe, in a
tone of propitiation; 111 wait till you do
me the favor to look in some morning, in
the old way, and have a chat about the
l-rench; and perhaps,” added he blushing,
“you will then bring Maria with you, as
you used to do; and 1 wont attempt to see
her till then.”
“ Oh, we’ll all come, :,f course,” said
Antonio, impatiently; “cat, dog, and all:
and when we do,"’ added he, in a very
significant tone, “you may come again
yourself.”
Giuseppe tried to laugh at the jest, and
thus still propitiate him ; but the old man,
hastening to shut the door, angrily cried,
“Ay, cat, dog, and all, and the cottage
besides, with Maria's dowry along with
it; and then you may come again, and not
till then.” And so saying he banged the
door, and giving a furious look at poor,
pale Maria, went into another room to
scrawl a note to the young citizen.
The young citizen came in vain, and
Antonio grew sulkier and angrier every
day, till at last, he turned his bitter jest
into a vow, exclaiming, with an oath, that
Giuseppe should never have his daughter,
till he, (the father,) daughter, dog, cat,
cottage, bee-hives and all, with her dowry
of almond-trees to hoot, set out some fine
morning to beg the young vine-dresser lo
accept them.
Poor® Maria grew thin and pale, and
Giuseppe looked little better, turning ail
his wonted jests into sighs, and often in
terrupting his work to sit and look to
wards the said almond-trees, which formed
a beautiful clump on an ascent upon the
other side of the gien, sheltering the best
of Antonio’s bee-hives, and composing a
pretty dowry for the pretty Maria, which
the father longed to see in the possession
of the flashy young citizen.
One morning, after a very sultry night,
as the poor youth sat endeavoring to
catch a glimpse of her in this direction, he
observed that the clouds gathered in a
very unusual manner over the country,
| and then hung low in the air, heavy and
; immovable. Towards Messina the sky
| looked so fiery, tiiat at first he thought
j the city on tire, till an unusual heat af
fecting his own skin, and a smell of sul
i phur arising, and the littis river at his
feet assuming a tinge of muddy ash-color,
he knew that some convulsion of the
earth was aihand. His immediate impulse
was to cross the ford, and, with mixed an
guish and delight, again find himself in
the cottage of Antonio, giving the father
and dauhhter all the help in his power.—
A tremendous burst of thunder and light
ning startled him for a moment; hut he
was proceeding to cross, when Ins ears
tingled, his head turned giddy, and while
the earth heaved beneath his own feet, he
saw the whole opposite side of the gl n lift
ed up with a horrible deafening noise, and
then the cottage itself, with all around it,
cast, as he thought, to the ground, and bu
ried forever. The sturdy youth, for the
first time in his life, tainted away; and
when his senses returned, found himself
pitched back into his own premises, but
not injured, the blow having been broken
by the vines.
But on looking in horror towards lha.
site of the cottage up the hill, what did he
see there 1 or rather, what did he not see
there ? And what did he see, forming a
new mound, furlongs down the side of the
hill, almost at the bottom of the glen, and
in his own very homestead ?
Antonio's cottage —Antonio’s cottage,
with the almond trees, an 1 the bee-hires,
and the very cat and dog, and the old
man himself, and the daughter, (both
senseless,) all come, as if, in the father's
words, to beg him to accept them! Such
awful pleasantries, so to speak, sometimes
take place in the middle of Nature's deep
est tiagedies, and such exquisite good may
spring out of evil.
For it was so in the end, if not in the
intention. The old man, (who, together
with hisdaughter, had only been stunned by
terror,) was superstitiously frightened by
the dreadful circumstance, if not affection
ately moved by the attentions of the son
of his old friend, and the delght and reli
gious transport of his child. Besides,
though the cottage, and the almond trees,
and the bee-hives, had all come miracu
lously safe down the hill, a phenomenon
which has frequently occurred in these ex
traordinary landslips ,) the flower-gardens,
on which his bees fed. were almost all de
stroyed; his property was lessened, his
pride lowered; and when the convulsion
was well over, and the guitars were again
playing in the valley, he consented to be
come the inmate for life of the cottage of
the enchanted couple.
lie could never attain, however, to the
innate delicacy of his child, and he would
sometimes, with a petulant sigh, intimate
at table what a pity it was that she had
not married the rich and high-feeding citi
zen. At such times as these, Maria would
gather one of her husband’s feet between
her own under the table, and with a squeeze
of it, that repaid him tenfold for the morti
fication, would steal a look at him which
said, “I possess all which it is possible
for me to desire.”
