The red-winged meric from the bending spray, With graceful pinions poising, Pours out a liquid roundelay In jubilant rejoicing ; The cock-grouse drums on sounding log, The fox forsakes the cover, ’ Tire woodcock pipes from fen and bog, From upland leas the plover. The speckled trout darts up the stream Beueath the rustic bridges, While flocks of pigeons glance and gleam O’er beech and maple ridges ; The golden robin thrills his note Among the netted shadows. The bobo’-link, with mellow throat, Makes musical the meadows. The peeping frogs with silver bells, Iu rhythmical ovation, Ring out a chime of treble swells In joyous gratulation • The low of kiue is mingling with The song of lark and sparrow. And fallow field is growing blithe Beneath the plow and harrow. The moon all night, serene and white On lake and stream is glowing, While rippling fountains seek her light, Through woodland valleys flowing; And all night long a low sweet song Sweeps over the misty hollow, From marsh, and feu, from hill and glen, From brook, and field, and fallovG | It is the time of pleasant things, When love makes up its issues, And hearts swell up, like hidden springs, From rustic cel's and tissues-*- A time to Jiear at break of day A silver-chorused matin— A liquid fretwork in chrochet On atmospheric satin, — A timo to feast the soul, the eyes, To watch each bird tliatfpasses, Aud ha'f surmise that birds are wise, Ami men are only asses ; And then to turn and raise the load With weary shoulders bending. And take the old, well-beaten road 3Bk:Th«fc leads--unto the ending.* Lippincott's Magazine. HOW THE.FARMERS ARE TAXED. Congressman Brooks, of New York, in closing his speecli on the tariff, a few days ago, said that H no one else could be found to undertake ihejask, he would mount a pediet’s wagon and go through the agri cultural districts, exhibiting a hoe, a plow j an axe, a shovel, a trace chain, a knife aud fork, with other articles, and demonstrate to the eyes of the "people the,, unjust, the wicked taxation that is imposed upon them by the existing tariff’s’ This would be a very effective mode of electioneering ; and that the people many understand the extent of the taxation upon some of the articles of every day life in every family in the country, we append an extract from a speech in Cohgress by Mr. Marshall of Illinois : ‘The farmer fetarting’ to his work has a shoe put on his horse t with nai s taxed 61 per cent ; driven by a hammer taxed 54- per cent ; cuts a stick with a knife taxed 50 per cent; hitches his horse to a plow taxed 50 per cent ; with chains taxed 61 per cent. He returns home at night and lays bis weary limbs on a sheet taxed 58 per cent., and covers himself with a blanket that he has paid 250 per cent. He rises in the morning, puts on his humble flannel shirt taxed 80 per cent., his coat taxed 50 per, cent, shoes taxed 35 per ceDt, and hat taxed 10 per cent., opens family Bibie taxed 25 per cent., aud kneels to his God on an humble carpet taxed 150 per cent—He sits down to his humble meal frem a plate taxed 40 per cent., with knife and folk taxed 35 per cent., drinks his cup of coffee taxed 41 pei cent*, or tea 18 per cent., with sugar 10 per cent ; seasons his food with salt taxed 100 per cent., or pepper 201 per cent., or spice 319 per cent. He looks round upon }iis wife and children, all taxed in the same way ; takes a chew of tobacco taxed 100 per cent., or lights a cigar taxed 120 pei cent., and then thanks his stars *aat he lives in the free st aud best government under heaven. If on the fourth of July he wants to have the star-spangled banner on real bunting, he must pay the American Banting Company of Massachasetts 100 per cent., for this glorious privilege. No wonder, sir, that the Western farmer is struggling with poverty, and conscious of a wrong somewhere although he knows not whence the blew comes that is chaining him to endless toil, and reducing bis wife and children to beggary.’ This ought to be read by everv farmer in the United States, and while reading it he should remember that but a tithe of the taxation into the national treasury. The goes into the pockets of manufacturers. •—r r A Dkad R4F'UI. —The following is from a sermon on t Ik* death of a young man of indifferent the social circle of R early deceas but unequal contest with the rtpbrd family : ‘I Lev been requested not to say impor tuned, toe deliver a funeral discourse on this occasion, and Ihev reluctantly consent ed toe do so. I never heered any good of the deceased yil ; and if the friends he.v made up their minds that I am about to bes gin seeh a course now, they are very much mistakeu. I estimate, in fact, that this young man now* a lyin’ before you was about the wnst man ever permitted, in the unscruiable ways of the devine peppussest toe locate in this vicinity. He was one who, I might say, allers fell when he was tempted ; and he curlingly appeared to me to seek, rather than to avoid, ocasions for such temptation. ‘Why, my feller Christians, he kept hos~ ses and ’•un ’em ; he kep’ cocks and fit em ; and as'to wimmin, let his widow (who I see a settin’lii a front pew) testify.” (Here the widow arose, as was the custom when the family of the deceased was alluded to, and, deeming it a complimentary remark' courtes'ed to the preacher.) “Iu short, al ter a£diligent inquiry intoe the pertickel ers of his kerrikter and conduct, while he has resided in this village, I have com toe the conclusion that about the only good thing that kin be said of him, at all, is, that he was an active member of the en gine company, and occasionally good at fires. ‘The pall bearers bear out the corpse, while the choir will sing, as an appropriate hymn, the 33d hymn, 2d book, Lshort metre, four verses> omitting, if you place, the third and fifth stunzar: “Believing we rejoice, TofceeThe cuss removed/’ with the usaljdoxology/’ GALLED I*o PREACH. The papers tell a story of a member of the persuasion, who, ambiLicusJof ministe rial honors, was praying in the woods for some divine manifestations of a call to preach. While so engaged a John Donkey set up one of those cries for which his race is t peculiar, which Walker mistook for an •affirmative reply to his appeal. Whereup on he applied for a license, when the fol lowing colloquy occurred between him and the interrogating preacher : Pastor —“Do you beleive, brother XX alk* er, that you was called by God to preach as was Aaron ?’ Walker— ‘.Most sartinly I does.’ p ‘Give the Church, that is, the breth ern the proof.’ W ‘I was mightily diffikilted, and I was determined to go into the woods and wrastle it out.’ p ‘That’s it brother Walker.’ \y—‘And while thru* wrestling, Jacob like, I beam one pi the curiusest voice I ever heara in all my borned days.’ p. You are on the right track, Bro. Walker. Go on with the narration.’ \V,__‘l couldn’t tell for the life o'me whether the voice was up in the air or down in the sky, it sounded so curious.” p. ‘Poor creetur 1 how he was diffikilts ed. Goon to narrate Bro. Walker. How did it appear to sound uuto you ?’ W. —Why, this way: Waw*Wawkevl Waw-»Wawfcer ! Go preach ! ah go preach ah-ee-nh-eo-ah l’ p # ‘Bruthern aud sisters that’s the light sort of a call. Enough said, Bro. XValker That’s none of your coledge call3. No doctor of divinity ever got sich a call as that.—Brother Walker must have a licenie for sartin and fur sure.’ The license was granted, as the story ooes and Walker is now doubtless making the mountains ring with bis stentorau lungs. Pickle for Beef.— For one hundred pounds of beef take three quarts of salt, half a a pound of brown sugar, and two ounces of ground black pepper : mix in water enough to cover the meat ; let it boil ; take off the scum ; when cool poor it over the meat. Salt beef should be all used up by ! the first of May, as it does not keep up i well in warm weather. How to Fatten a Poor Horsb. —Many good horses devour large quantities of grain and hay, and still continue thin aod pool*. The food eaten is not properly as» siruilated. If the usual feed has been nq«* ground grain aud • hay, nothing but a change wifi effect atny desirable alteration ia the appearamse of the animal. In case oil meal cannot be obtained readily* mingle a bushel of flaxseed with a bushel 6F bar rey. one of oats, and another bushel of In* clian corn, aud let it be ground into lino meal. This will be a fair proportion for all his feed. Or, the meal cr barley, oats and corn, in equal quantities, may first be procured, and one-fourth part of oil-cake mingled with it when the meal is sprinkled on cut feed. Feed two or three quarts o* the mixture three times daily with a peck cf cut hay and straw. If the horse will eat that amount greedily, let the quantity be gradually increased, until he will cat four or six quarts at every feeding, three limes a day. So long as the animal will eat this %11bwan.ee, the quantity my he increased a little every day. But avoid the practice of allowing a horse to stand at a rack well filled with hay. In order to fatten a horse that has run down in flesh, the groom should be very particular to feed the anis mal no more than he will eat up clean and lick his manger for more. Behavior in Company. —Leigh Richmond gives the following excellent advice to his daughters : ‘Be cheerful, but uot'gigglcrs. Re serious, but not dull. j£Be communica tive, but not forward. Beware of silly, thoughtless speeches ; although you may forget them, others will not. Remember God’s eye is in every company. Beware of levity, and familiar ity with young meu ; a modest reserve, without affectation, ia the only safe path. Court and encourage conversation with those who are truly serious and conversii ble ;do not go into valuable company without endeavoring to improve by the intercourse permitted to you. Nothiug is more unbecoming, when one part of a com pany ia engaged in profitable conversation, than that another part should be trifling, giggling, and talking comparative non»- sense to each other.’ Watering Plants in Su&StEik-It is not to begin to water pjants in the garden, un less it is intended to follow it up thorough ly. If plants in the open ground are water ed, they throw out their little roots near the surface in order to clriuk in the moisture, aud if afterwards the watering be neglect ed, these little fibrous roots perish for lack of moisture, and the plants suffer. When they are not watered at all, the litte roots go down deeper in search of moisture, and in well cultivated soil, in good condition, they will Usually fiud enough to keep from suffering, unless the drought continue un usually long. If it is seen necessary to give water, it should be copiously, in quantity sufficient to go down to the bottom of the roots ; a sprinkling that wets the surface is worse than none; SyiHnging the leaves to wash off the dust, if d&ne in the evening after the sun is down, will improve the aps pearance and health of plants. — Ex, Some of our Native Resources.— An Em* glish produce broker calls attention to the fact, that leaves of. the Palmetto Ifco done up in bundles, and without any special pro paralion, are worth $250 in gold, per torn for ccnvertiou into fibre. This plant is abundant in the Southern States, and can generaly be had for the gathering, arid ship ments of it are earnestly invited. Sumac is another article found everywhere in the United States, and of a quality ten to twen* ty per cent, better than European Sumac, which is bringing $125 per ton. Colic in Man or Horse—Editors Southern Cultivator— l will give you the simplest and best remedy for colic in man or horse, I ever tried For a horse, give a tea cup full of flour (wheat flour) in a black bottle, filled with water,dissolve the flour by shak ing the bottle, and drench the horse. It will generally cure in five or ten minutes For a man, give a table spoonful of flour in tumbler —of cold water. My word for it, lie will never take any other remedy. Liberty S. C., Jan. 1810. G. J. 8. Bedding Plants.— Put out these daring the first week of the month. Verbenas Salvias, Heliotropes, Petunias,scarlet flow ering and other Geraniums, are used for this purpose. Let them be well hardened before planting, by exposure in the out door 'air. t - *} ; *. . c* ii Mm . For the Ladies.— If wilted flowers about half an inch of their stems put Qff» and the stalk thus trimmed It> inserted into . • i fJtJJ boiling water, they will in a few momenta resume their original freshness. The pro cess is moat applicable to colored flowers, as rosea, geraniums, azalias, ole., white ones turning yellow. Thick-petailed flow ers show the most marked improvement. Another excellent method of rt freshuess to old flowers is to water and cover with a glass shade.,: Fiiw* ly powdered charcoal placed iu.the bottom of tire water in vases has|.a. inftrk^d ; sffqpt in maintaining flowers fresh a long and keeping the water sweet. ; y ' «ts Matrimonial.— The editor of an thus reports the Matrimonial Brides are iu good demand.

How often does the stealthy alaudej', whence no one knows, destroy character, if not life. Like ibe good Badlcr, in Scan dinavian Edda, who was slain by tho mis tletoe the Blind Hodur threw, how many » reputation has been destroyed by a slander springing from a shadow, A Connecticut woman ate a bushel of roasted oysters for a ten dollar wager. Thio man to whom she was engaged disappeared mysteriously from his boarding house lh 0 same night, and a person answering his description was noticed buying a throttfcU ticket for California. The London Scalpel, the highest medfOal authority in tihe world* gives the followftfe as an infallible cure for small pox and aear-f let fever : Sulphate zinc, one grain; teaspoonful of sugar; mix with two tt»a& poonsful of water. Take a tcaspoOfrftfl every hour. Either disease will disappear in twelve hours. For a child, smaller dbaes according to the age. It states that countries would counsel their doctottl so use this, there would be no need of pest houses. 0 t -j —-* lJ ’ 4 Mrs. Lincoln.— A good deal of testimony has been taken by the’Senate Conlmitted'bH pensions iti reference to the claim of MW.
