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.

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.

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.

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.

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 P. 3.. Its Jill WHOM, Proprietor.

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 ? “I’m a reined owmmi,” as the servant girl ex claimi il when sl>c lost ler wages. “By Jasus but I’m a round man,” as Phil said when he missed the “bitbers in the mo iieu.” “Pin compelled to sus pend,” as tiie man said who was thinking about a certain L’riday. “ I’ll quit,” said old Zach.
