THE SILVER BIRD S NEST.
hv n. F. IIOIH.D.
A stranded roldier’s epaulet,
Tlio wnt-'rs cast ashore,
A littla wjng.'d rover tart,
And eyed it o’er and o’er.
That silver bright so pleas’d her sight,
On that lone, i lie vest,
She knew not vvlrv slit, should deny
Herself a silver nest.
The shining wire she picked and twirled,
Then bore it 16 tvirbieicl),
Where, on a flowcry twig ’twas curled—
The bird can show you how ;
But, when enough of that bright stuff
The cunning buildei bore,
Her house to make,she would not take,
Nor did she covet, more.
And when the little artisan,
When neither pride nur guilt
Had entered in her pretty plan,
Her resting plat e had built,
With here and them a plunfe to spam
About her own light form,
Os these, inlaid with skill, she made
A lining soft and warm.
But, do you think the tender brood
She fondled there, and fed.
Were prouder when they understood
The show about their bod !
Do you suppose they ever rose,
Ofliigher powers possessed,
Becnitse they knew th y peep’d and grew,
. Within n silver nest I
a voice o; Tin: departed.
Toll not that bell of death tor me,
When I am dead :
Strew not the flow’ry wreath o’er me,
On my cold bed.
Let friendship’- saered tear
Ou my fresh grave nppeur,
Gcinming with pearls my bier,
\\ lien I am dead.
No dazzling, proud array
Os pageantry display,
'ly Hit ', to spread.
Let not the busy crowd be near,
When I am dead:
Fanning with untelt sighs, tny bier—
Sighs quickly sped.
Let deep impressions rest
Ou some fond, faithful breast:
Then were my memory blest,
When I am dead.
Let not the day Ire writ —
/.ora trill n■ nei.iber it
Untold, unsaid !
COMI’ORT Ol' ANlMALS.—Unquestionably,!
an animal may be well fed, lodged and cleaned, with
out being comfortable in every respect; anti in brutes
as well as man, want of comfort operates on the <|i-]
g stive organs. If the surface of a stall, in whirl. an
ox or a horse stands, deviates much from a level, he
will be continually uneasy; ami will be uneasy timing
the night, if its surfice is rough, or if a proper Ih d
of litter is not prepared every evening for him to re
pose on. The form of'racks and mangers is often
Jess commodious than it might be. A hayrack which
projects forward is bad ; because the animal in draw
ing out the It ay, is teas- d with Ihe hay seeds falling
in its eyes or eat s, and thi- form, it may be added, is
apt t<» cause the breath of the animal to ascend through
.its food, which most, after a time, render it noxious.
For this reason, bay should lie as short a time as
possible in lots, but when practicable, be given di
rect from the rack.
OLD MEN FOR COUNSEL.—Father, said a
young man mice to a patriarch of the mountains, who
is still living, (after Ring told that he mu-t not go
with half a dozen fellows who hid come to invite
him,) “ Father, why is it th <t you deny me those pri
vileges which other parents gr mt so readily to taeir
sons of my age?” “ David,” said the fat her, after
lifting up his head and lemtitig on the top of his hoe
handle, “I have lived much longer in the world th-m
you have, and I see dangers which you little suspect.
These y oung men are in a bad way. Such habits of
idleness ami this going about to frolics ami horse ra
ces will ruin them. You will see, if you live, lint
some of them will get into tiie State prison by and
by, and it is well if they do not come to the gallows.
These are my reasons fir wi-bing you to have noth
ing to do with them.” Davit! was satisfied. Ye-T.
roiled away. These young men »oou spent their pa
trimony, ami fell into dissipated habits. From step
to step they went on, til! the prediction of tl.e patri
arch was literally fulfilled. 'l’wo or three of them
were sent to the State’s prison, and one at least was
hanged.— Dr. IJuuiplirty.

tlri’t • | 1( n’mm; w <itim.it wl:ip or spur, just which way
von wan ’on in ul) .
Ween I lived down to E’torn, there was a good
many fusi r >t- gal- mrwn there, but I did’nt take a
iiiviti’ io mi «n''in, t’li lire < 'nmmins cum d"wn
ilier* tn live. The Mpiire b>d a miglitv purtv darter.
I -aid -mm of the gal- w >s fu»t r >ie. hut N nice Cum
mi'is was fust r'te, am! a Icelle more. There was
mans drrs-t d liner, am! Imiked gr older, bin there
"as someth,in’jam ahmit N uh e, ilrat they could’nt
hold a caudle m. If a feller seed her vvmice, lit
i f'i'ld’ii: look >it another gal for a w»ek. I took a
hk■->’ to nor rite off, and we got as th ek as thieve-.
A e uses! to go to the s ime meeting, and sot in same
pew. It to*>k me to finti the sarms and hims f»>r h- r,
am! we’.l swell ’em out in a nianwer shockin to har
dened sinners ; ami then we’d mosey bum together,
while the gal- and fellers kept alookin’ on as though
tlu y’d like to mix in. I'd always stay to supper; am)
the way she mod make injnn cakes, am! the way [
wood lick ’em over in nmla-ses, and put ’em away
was nothin’ to nobody. She was dreulful civil tew-,
alway s gettiu’ somethin’ nice for me ; I was up to the
hub in love, and was agoin it like a loky motive.
" ell, tilings went on this wav for a soell, till she
though! she had me tigiit enough. Then site began
to show off kindt r independ-nt like. When I’d go
to meeting, there was no room in the pew ; when
she’d come out she’d streake off with another ch ip,
and leave me sucking my finger at the door I isted
of sticking to me as she used to do. she got < uttin
round with all the fiileis as if she cared nbtifiug about
me no more, none whatsomever. I got con-i lernhlv
riled, ami tiiori I out as well cum to the end of it at
wutiee ; so down I went to have it out with her:
there was a hull gt i-t of h lit rs there. They st eined
wigiity quiet till 1 went in, then -he got to talkin >ll
m «iim r oi mmsense ; sed nothin to me, and darned
little of that. I tried to keep my dander down, but ii
warn no use—! kept movin about as il I had a pin in
my trow-eis. I sweat as it I had been a thrashin.
My collar hung down as ifi< had been hung over my
stock to dry.- I couhi’ni stand i , s<> I < leared out a
quick as I could ; lor I seed it was no use to say no
thin to tier. 1 went straie to bed. mid thot the mat
ter over a spell ; thinks I, that gal i- just a tryin ol
me; taint no n-e .<f our play in possum'; I’ll take tiw
kink out of her ; if I d .n’t fetch her out of that high
grass, use me for sasage meat.
1 hearu tell of a buy wituce that got to skew! late
on Munday mormn ; ma-icr ses, “I on tarnal sleep
in cr-etur, what kept you so late?” “ Why,” ses
the b<>v, “it is cverlastin sliperv out; I could’nt get
along no how ; every step I io®k forward, I went two
steps bat kwards, and 1 could'ut have got here at ail
il 1 had’nt turned Irn'k to go toiher wav.” Now
that’sjt st my case. I have been pu’tiu afser that g d
a considerable time. Now. thinks 1, I’ll go toiher
way; she’s been sliglitiu of rm, now I’il slight her
what’s sass for the goose, is sa-s f-r the gamier. Weil.
I went no more to Nancy’s. Next Sabhaih I slicked

I wa-n’t just like* Nui y Cummins. Ephraim Massev

I set my eyes mi her till aft, r meeting ; she lead a feller

I afore a tiiaul.sg'n in dinner. 1 knowed wh<> she was
ilmikin about, and ’taa-n’t the chap with the red

II itl!zm<r.-— The New York Express occasionally
pubhsm-s s-f'ie racy letters written in the genuine

by ‘Jonathan Slick.’ Jonathan attends a parly in
Aew York, and is much scandalized al the fa.-!ii<>na

extract from his la-i letter:
Jist then the mu-ic begun again, and one of them
tail hairy-lipped fellers got up with a pur'v little gal
that d'ql’nt look more th in eighteen years uld, and he

he j ut one arm round Iter litt'e waist jist above the

I oretguers have rem <rked how difliruh it is to ob
t in a s gut o! Louis Phillippe in the summer time
(or at any time.) in the cspen air. He goes out a
great deal, but it is in a close carriage, v< hit'll is mus
ket proof. He is invariably driven through the streets
and on the roads with great rapidity. In this he
migh' appear to rival the speed with wb't. h George
the l>om th used to travel (being only 65 minutes on
the road Ir.im Windsor to London) but the English
tviug was fond of quick travelling, while Louis Phil
ii;>pe is mt. He goes at. a rapid rate only’ for secu
rity. So many attempts h ive been made on his life,
nat, alliiet he is wholly devoid of personal apprehen
sion. he yields to the entreaties of his family, ami
adopts every prml ntial me m- to save him-e f. It is
generally Uiiderstood that he rever goes out witlioiil
leaving the Queen in a paroxysm of tmr >r, lest lie
shout! be brought back a corpse. During tiie first
t ear of his reign, be might be seen constantly in ti.e
streets, plainly dressed, nn.-ittended, and catrtb.g a>
iimbrell • under hi.- arm. Tim mwmcnl party, who
expected a revolutionary government with a i.omimt -
ly regal head, g:#-v io hate the man who had disap
pointed them. It must lie emd'-ssed, too, that die
needle-sly severe means he adopted to a-s-rt and
maintain his authority , bad a strong tendency to irri
tate tiie men « ho had placed die crown upon his he i I.
The attempts agam-t his ife have been many, and
-ome of hi- escapes (from th- Fiesclii plot, fir in
stance) have b< on almost miraculous.
I he h >tred vtii!i whicli Louis Pliillippe was regard
ed, is wearing of}—in fact it was appeased when he
ammdoned his liosli measure and I believe lie
might now trus> himself, as he fonmrlv did, into any
i part of Paris, w''h u:t :>nv cham e of being shot .it.
j But lie doesnot, am! be p-r-evercs in the precaution
i ary measure.- whicli wvie downright necessary two
! years ago. Hence bis ball proof carriages, his cor
don of < avalry acconii any hil 1 i—the continuance of
the pr:i' tic (wbeo he goes to S'. Clntu 1 and \ ersilles)
[of having guards placed al inteivals along the whole

Those who are in the habit of seeing the King sax s
, that hi- manners are plain, and that he appears to be
a man of simple tastes, although he can displav great
[ magnificence on any occasion. When any one i-in
troduced to him, th • etiquette of the Court is, that lie
-hi! not cott.e nearer than eight paces of the rtnal
per-ou. .1 lii et quelle has s-ldom been infringed in
favor of Frenchmen, frequently i )t favor of Atm-ii
cans and En-lisli. He is said to have a preference
lor the former, and tin American i- rap ly introduced

vancing i<> meet him, and entering into f-niil ; ar
niimi» tion with him. lie speaks Engli-h with

[ No monarch in Europe (except the Emperor of

In the palace (part of the
Lou's Philiippe rt sided when DnW of Orient, ar
many valuable pictures, whi- h mft batviewed,.fe
ticket, every Stn.d iy, —the Tuill; rii s. wWhjgjß' rov
al family now reside, is never shown w'u King j.
in Paris, and only a part of it when absf'i'o.
One of the pictures in the Palais R.oy>l TFFs Jrf reuc
to a well kimwn event in the King’s life. Ii repre
-ents him, sttriouudrd by purn’s, io wham he is giv
itig les-ons ia geography. When he was ©Mke o
Orhans he wa- fond of showing this picture to l: ;
friends, and <;!' telling how . in exd-, whi n h- vv»
pimides.-, he gave lessons for sub i-tem'e. Since Ih
became King, he i- said to have sunk tin- matter, but
it is a fact that, w hen h- got the crown, one of his first
private measures was to write to Engl-nd th it he hat!
doubled bis libera] subscription io the society for r
lief ol indigent schoolmaste: s, in London. When he
was “hard-up” in London, after the Revolution, thi
society relieved bis wains, and, from first to last, hi
sitb-c ipij.iu to its funds cannot have been less than
<£4ooo. I think this trait worthy your notice, as Lou
is Pin Hippe has been accused of parsimony.
The pi ivate fortune of' the King is very great.
While he was Duke of O h an-, he was the principal
managerof ail his tiffdrs, sold the produce of his land,
and let his nun farms. Th- Civil List allowed him
by the Stat is so large that he has keen able to save
money from it, without trenchin.’, in the least, upon
his private fortune. That now tun units to abmit a
hundred millions of d dlars, or more than <£20,000,-
090. ii.s enntribudons to public works (e-pecially
the splendid fining up of Versailles as a National
Monument) are considerable. His money is constant
ly accuuiii'ating, ami—to provide for a rainy day
his cash is invested in did’. rent countries. But there
appears to be no likelihood of his throne toppling
down.
The Queen, Madame Adel..ide, and the other
member oi the Royal family, go a great deal into
public, ami may lie seen <md approached without the
slightest difficulty, ‘j he Duke of Orleans (“who
would be a Kmg her< afwr”) is ficqm nily in the pub
lic p ..rts of Paris. I have never seen him on foot,
lie ei her rides tin Eugli-h Im ter, or drives a sort of
i iirricle, oi—hut this is seldom—sit- vi.; a. tit: wiih his
wife in her coach. Th- present Rosal family of
I’ lance, male and female, are a well looking set of
young people, ami their private conduct i- said to be
irreproachable.
1 he King is very tolerant in his religious opinion,
fie gm s to a Roman C.t ho ie. Chun h, but so t'ar fnbm
oigoit <l, is believed to h>v a d:-i:ke <>! the priest

KELP OU r l OF DEB i‘.— The great error which
•oo many young num commit on their entrance into
life is te.at of going into debt. The difl rence of their
in-come after the age of t.-entv-one, to w hat it w as dur
ing minority, creates in their minds an idea that such
resources must be almost inexhaustible. They are.
from tl is cause, induce:! to anticipate this income from
d <y io day, to satisfy imaginary want-, and before
they are aware ofwliat they are lining, find themselves
one or two hundred dollars in debt, w idiom being aide
to t* 11 what ha- become of their mom".. By this time
a habit of spending is acquired, and they l.ttve a dou
ble < fiort to make to recover themselves from debt,
and break a bad habit. But too frequently, such
victims of their outi indiscretion find them; Ives ina
dequate to the ta-k. and struggle a lew years, harras
sed with duns, and the haunting ghosts of broken re
solutions. I inally the < li-tins tire broken, and hum
bled in spirit, they commence the world anew per
haps at the age of thirty, with the’painfnl conscious
ness that every day they meet some one who can say
by looks, “pay me that thmi owest.” Our advice to
ail yomigmen.is, no matter how promidng may be his
prospects, to “keep mH of debt.” Never buy a dol
lar’s worth without the money to pay for ’it. The
following advice from a father to a son is admirably
appropriate :
“Believe, me my son, that of all the kinds of tvran
n» by which the spirit of man is bowed down and
crushed, and all his energies, moral and physical, are
paralrz.ed and withered, there is none so active in its
oppieS'iou, so bitter in its torture, :ts that which a
creditor exercises over" his debtor. It is a tyranny
which can even quell the springing elasticity of youth’s
sanguine ambition. Observe, too, that its existence

mt'i't'iy rlepemi upon tiie disposition oi acts
>f the master. The latter may be the mildest and
iio-t I'.ng-siiffering man upon earth, and so far from
endeavoring roughly to enforce his claims, may even,
refrain from Asserting them. Still by the very nature
of die relation which subsists between the parties, is
the (.h'btifr reduced to the condition of his bondsman
*or serf, for the real intensity of the tyranny’ consits in
hi ;at the creditor has over in bis service on offi
’’i >u- and indefatigable agent, who acts not only with
out his orders, but often in spite of his expressed wish-'
-s, and that agent is the memory of the indebted par-'
‘y. The mast r may lie willing to give lime to his
-lave ; he may even desire him not to be disquieted by
the appn ben.ion of violence; but can the latter for
get the existence of ah obligation which may be forced
upon his memory by theslightist circumstance of the
passing nmment? Can !-? ’n.-get, too, that however
humane hi- pre>< ut lord may be, his rights and claims,
may, alter death, pass to another of imperious and
violent temper? Suchare some of the considerations
which make the mere existence of a debt, without any
oilier aggravating circumstance, in itself, a tyranny
of the most loathsome desriTption. The parish pau
per, despicable as his lot may appear, enjoys a higher
degree oi liberty anti ind pembmi e than the man who
ha< put it in the power of another to come up to him
ami say, “pay me wbal thou owest.” Think not
that my descrij lion is overcharged. The fool and the
preffigate would laugh at the picture which I have
displayed to you ; the one owing to his mental infir
mity, not being able to understand true Liberty ; the
oilier from the baseness of his nature, being dead
to the degradation of servitude. But the manofin
genuous and sensitive disposition, will readily allow
that there arc fitters for the mind as wi-ll as the body,
and that in order to be apprised of a subjection to
bondage, it is not necessary' that one should hear the
( lank of the iron < bain.
“Another circumstance which tends to make the
debtor’s chain still more intolerable, is, that in most
cases the iiifltdion ol it is either occasioned or exped
ited by his own weakness ami folly. A weak submis
sion to the imperious yet trifling mamhttes of fashion,
a vain coiH|«eiilion in tiie race of extravagance with
more wealthy compm rs. and a shameful compliance
will; toe unhealthy and ariificial appetites; these are.
some o! the principal caus-s w hich, sometimes sepa
rateiy, but more freipr inly in close lea -uc together,
entangle the young man in the toils of debt.”
AGRICULTURAL.
If a farmer wishes to thrive, let him take liis start
early in J iuunry. Put his plantation in order : see
that Li- l< net sure made perfectly secure, and are in
complete fix ; for if once well arranged, they will not
need repairing until the crop- are made. The next
step is to procure manure ; that important article is
to a crop what principle i- to interest, or capital to
m-tt pri 6; ’ "ike a ; y ard contiguous to the
barn am] stables. Put up racks and iroughs, and
build a large shelter t’> I- ed the cattle tinder, and to
protect them in wet weather. Sall them three times at
w eek ; or which would be better, give a small quan
tity daily.
in order to make a large quantity of manure,
throw on wheat straw, corn or co’ton stalks, cotton
; s-eds, leaves, and in fine, a'l sorts ofcorase vegetable
smj-tum'e, letting hog-, she j.', goats, &,c., run on it at
all times, but when the cattle are feeding—a good
! plan is to Ic’ d ail kinds o| cattle on the yard, each
| ;etiia ted in succes-imv. Afti r wet '.•.ember th re is a
i time when work cannot be d ine on any other part of
! the faim, and this is the be-t time for raking up the
' manme. One hand, a mule, and a scraper, ate ne
i cessa y ; with hoes, let otht rs rake up in piles, with
■ tiie -t rarer entry ih'-se p '.s to the pen of manure;
■ with a hovel throw it into the pens, in toe following
i in inner :—;irst, a layer o! yard manure ; then a layer
ol m-n I, which t"is mnn:try affords in great abun
‘ lance ; ibi n a lay r of mud or any moist manure ;
I then stable manure ; ilun inoi-t manure; then ashes,
and every thmg ■ f the kind that can be obtained
! abmt api intnt.on ; and so on in successive layers,
until the pen is suiiii icnily nil. YVe once obtained
manure m this manner, with the exception of the
marl, ami were completely successful in making, in
one winter, two large | ens to the hand, and that with
but litile trouble. It manured the garden and all the
worn land, which produced nearly a double crop.
W i- are well sati-fled that marl will foim a finer ad
dition to this nanure, as all manures are compound
substances, am! there is an ulmic acid fiirmeil in the
orm-es- of ferim ntation of vegetables; but by the ap
plication of'mar), which has lime in its composition,
ii has a chemical effect on the acid, and forms ulmic
ol liaie, which sweetens the manure, and fenders il a
line food for vegetal ion.— Avip/mf/j-'s.
co?;fixement of young children
IN SCHOOLS,—Many pupils will bear confine
ment, at their books, tor -ix or seven hours per day :
whip, others cannot undergo more than half the labor
without the most serious consequences. Young
children slmmd not Le kept in school as long as their
<>ldi r associates. When six years of age they may
be confined, without injury, two or three hours per
day, but never longer. Bcibre this period, they
should never enter the school room, except for the
purposes ol mer.i! and physical training. Childhood
is not the period for study, and if spent in school or
other places ol confinement, the laws of nature are
transgressed, and general debility must follow. Some
ol the best in our language could not study, even in
the prime ol hit’, more than four and a half hours per
day, without impairing their health. What, there
fore, must be the results of a system which compels
the child, without mcnt.il discipline, and when ihe
influence of the n. rvous system is necessary for the
perfection nf bis physical structure, to remain in a
crowded school room for six hours every day ?
