VVlty'f Is til, rt* tiny flung iiKmn^|> ttiblc in pllj.j h'.sttplty Willi philtigj ny; i" »ue love of wisdom witli liib love itf woman? “The wisest man tlie world eVr saw,” ! appears ; to have thought otherwise; and S-icrates as well as Solomon was a husband.. When Adam Ctoidt, finding like Itis first f.ither and namesak-’, that it w.ig not gohif tt> be afont*, contracted matrimony with- Amelia Smiili. was iliat any reason why all the oilier Smiths—Amelia’s kinsftdk ejfcejs- ted—and Joneses, and Browns; and Tomp kins'?, comprising the world he moved ia„ should, simply because Adam w.ts reputed a philosopher, mike merry at vie expense of his lalher’sson? It id true that ibe marriage of Adam was a step inconsistent with that philos ophy which placed.the sit mm urn bnnum in the: main chance. He married purely fttr .those reasons that according io Uncle Toby, are “written in the Comm -n Prayer Book;’’ which include, vVe believe, no reference to the Thr^e Per Cents. As we have styled Crotch a phdosopher, it behooves us to explain what were Ins preten sions to that character. They consisted theo- reMcally in a considerable amount of literary, scientific, meiapnysical knowledge, and prac ticality in u systematic course of life, based mainly on the principle of enjoying himself to the extent of his means, and repressing all de sires that would exceed his limits. Thus Ad un, who, 1 ke many other philosophers, was rather fond of smoking, though in theabst act lie pre ferred II ivana cigars to tlie common weed, was wont, 'adapting his taste to his finances, to eoiiteiit himself with a clay pipe. It was fur ther a maxim wi;li Adam Crotch, in economis ing, 'o sacrflee the lesser enjoyment to die greater, imd‘ always to deny himself what he could best spare. Now there are two words to every bargain; and Adam Crotch did not plunge into matrimo ny without first having inquired what Amelia would >ay to the pi m ol life which he had chalked out. Her answers were most satisfac tory. When Adam explained to her the dif- fi-tence h tw»?en a real and a fictitious gratifi cation, and askea whether, content with true happiness, she could despite its illusory phan tom, she would reidy, ‘Oil, yes!’ with an en- tliU'iasm wlrich none but young ladies who are in love can pronounce ih<-se words rvith. Tneir itiarriage to k piece, hut not altogether qrnelly. Tnere were lwt> mailers conp cied with the event, on which they had a slight difference of opinion" at the outset. Ail other preliminaries hnvi-ig b •• n settled. ‘Adain, dear,’ saidthe'be- lrot'icd, • where snail we order our wedding cake, and whom shall we send cards io ?’■ ‘A wuddi g.cakel’ exclaimed Crotch, aston ished. ‘Cards! my dear girl, whrl do you want with e-ther V ‘Oh ! we iRust have them, of course, love,’ she re li d. Why of course?’ asked the philosopher.— * You are not fo d of sweets, neither am I, and the very few friends we ase going to visit we can write to.’ * But they will expect/ mged the young la dy, 'our cards and a piece of cake. We should consider otlu-rs, .you know, Adam.’ ‘Yes, my dear,’ said Crotch, ‘of course we should ; but what benefit will any body de rive from our sending them a mouthful of plnm cake? What is it to eat? There would be something in a large lump; hut that is out of the question. As to cards, t,hey are wholly unue issitry. I object to them.on principle, as conventional humbug, dictated by the me're caprice of society.’ ‘ Still,’ pleaded Amelia, ‘ we had better do j what is usual,’ ‘ Granted,’ he returned, 1 when there is n# particular reason to the contrary 1 , I udmit your abstract proposition. But in this instance, we shall lose money. It will cost us twe or three guinea; nt least; and for wliat? No pleasure to ourselves, or anybody else.’ * Bill surely we can afford it, dear.’ 1 Nobody can, that is, ought to afford mers waste. Not a farthing ought tobcsosqnan. dered. It had belter be given away in charily.’ ‘ Bui people will be offended, dearest, if we don’t send them what they expect.’ ‘ Tnen let thaui be offended, my girl!’ ex claimed Adam Crotkli; why should we regard unreasonable people?’ * Oh, you know, Adam,’ ibe answered, ‘ it isn’t every body that ig like you ; and it is best not to make enemies, isn’t il V ‘ Humph !’ ejaculated the philosopher, inus- u;g. us if ibis hist consideration had some weight with him, ‘there’s something in that. Wei—come—we’ll e’en follow the ways of this absurd world for once. But Amelia, rmnd one tiling; w«t’l| Inve none of that silly silver twist about our cards. That is n piece' of fid dle fuddle, not only imbecile, but to me dis- gustingly vulgar.’ * Do you think so?’ was Amelia’s answer, in a tone which rather inclined her lover to doubt whether her advocacy of cards and bride cake arose from motives strictly of policy.— Bride cake and cards, however, though by no means with the good will of Crotch, were or- de'cd; The paradise to which Adam Crotch led his wife was the second heaven of a decent bulging house, otherwise called a two pair hack. This, however, was to lie merely a lem- porary abode, to serve until they could find a small house commensurate with their circum stances, in one of the suburbs of the town.— With such a dwelling they iveiesoon provided; and how arose the question of furnishing it, whereupon the philosopher discoursed as fol lows ‘ The essential points, niy dear, to look to in choosing Turn lure are, comfort and utility.— We cannot sit comfortably in an inconvenient chriir; but so long as the chair is convenient, its material mailers little. We may apply the same pri- c p'e fo beds, tables nnd fire irons.’ ‘ Certainly,’-unswvrcd Mrs Crotch. 1 Not but what,’ continued Adam, ‘there is a-ccrtnitr pleasure derived by the sense of vis ion from handsome furniture, and if this can be obtained \V?tho\it v fihanci'd entbaffa&kmenr, well mid good; but the annoyance at beieg ham pered 1 hi circumstances is much more than equivalent to gratification.’ * Thero is no Joubt about that, dear,’ said she. ‘ well, now you see, love.’ he pursued, * we can get a set of deal chairs and tables for a comparative trifle; we can cover the chairs with what d’ye call it, and make cushions for them ourselves. Wo can put oil cloths on the tables‘and‘pmn*. their legs, which will make them look'qritte well enough ; and a floor-cloth ol green l>aivie ! will be just as good as the best Turkey carpet.*- •My dear wliat are you talking about?’ de manded his wife in amazement. * Why, that instead of mahogany and rose wood, and fine carpets, in which there is no es sential a (vantage, we will have deal chairs and tab'es and grefcii buize.’ ‘ I never heard of s>»ch a thing!’ exclaimed the lady. ‘ Don't you see that by so doing we shall ha\’e the money to eat and drink, love, and to be side to save something over in case of a rainy Jj^tfxraqxs 1«»1 a gm. ‘Oh! you’re joking, Adam,’ she answered. ‘ Joking,’• he repeated. ‘ Not at all.* ‘ Den! chairs and laities, and green baize carpets ?’ she exclaimed. ‘ Horrible !’ ‘ Wlirif is ilio matter? You admitted my proposition wi\h regard to the furniture iu the iibktmct,’ said life philosopher. ‘Ob. nonsense,’ she retorted. ‘Bother the ahstrnci.’ ‘ Amelia, my deer!’ exclaimed the astonish, od llhsbnrid. ‘ I have no patience with you !’ she cried. Adam first started, then whistled and then sat himself down biting his nails, while his irri tated spouse overwhelmed hirin' With upbraidings. The philosopher was fain to make his peace by conceding the point as to the upiiolstc-y; nnd the house, amid his suppressed' groans, was furnished in fashionable style-’ Among llie domestic exigencies that soon arose was that of a set of dinner plates. Adam, this time without consulting Amelia, went and ordered a service of pewter. The plates were sent home. No sooner did Mrs. Crotch be hold them than, seizing one, she dashed it in- dijgnaufly On the ground. It was unbroken. ‘See,’ observed the philosopher, with mild equanimity, ‘the advantage of pewter over china!’ ‘Oh, nonsense!’ exclaimed Amelia. ‘It is not nonsense,’ returned Adam. “What is there in a plate? Nothing—but food upon it —that is of any consequence. What objection is there to dining off pewter?” ‘I can’t bear il,’she replied. ‘But why?’ ‘Because I can’t.’ q t : . •Now don’t you see,’ reasoned Adam, ‘how absurdly you talk. You can’t bear it because you can’t. D >es it hurt your eyes or make your head ache? Does it pain you in any way?’ *1 d-rn’t like it—and that’s enough.’ 'No my good girl,’ urged Crotch, ‘it is not enough.' When we say that we can’t bear a thing, we mean that it produces an intolerable sen-aiion. What intolerable sensation does a pew'er plate produce ia you?” Such were the scenes that were enacted al most daily between Adam Crotch and his help- mirle. He .wanted her to wear stuff dresses, she would have silk. One of their most serious disputes arose on the subject of cotton pocket handkerchiefs. ‘Wliat earthly reason,’ he de manded, ‘could there exist for any other?’— She answered, “Every reason,’—but gave none. Reasons, however, she did give, occasionally for her wishes. She wanted a white bonnet.— Why? Because Mrs. Wdson had one. She desired to have venltian blinds for the parlor wi'-dow. Wherefore? Such an embellishment had been added to Mrs. Blake’s. , In the course of time Adam had sons and daughters. His philosophy encouniered fresh trials. Disquiet and doctors lulls hn was pre. pared for; he was not prepared for the requisi tion of monthly nurses. He had not counted on supernumerary napkins, bibs, caps, piano fortes, ribbons, feathers, frocks and trousers.— Occasional disturbances at his studies he expect ed, but he never thought lie should be called from Ids books to rock a cradle, Au oxpe.liqut which he adopted to lighten ibis especial burden should be recorded. Il consisted iu the ad p'a- tion of a smoke-jack to produce the required motion; bui ibis arrangement was continually interfered with by the cook. His calculations tliuj confounded, the system thus upset, his scheme of domestic happiness thus bullied, whut was llie philosopher to do?— He had no alternulive but to cut down b s ex penses to the lowest possible mark. He relin quished the solace of his pipe,—he diauk his tea wiiliout milk or sugar—he lived oil the smallest amount of food that Would sustain na- tuir’e i Uur latest account of Adam Crotch repre sents him us meditating some scheme for the eiilarg-'menl of his means. He intends to de vote those faculties heretofore employed, oil speculation to busi ess. Would that he could discover that stone, whoso acquisition has so long been the philosopher’s object! Iu the mean lime, let philosophers iu general, aud those of the Crotch school in particular, about to marry, study attentively that chapter in the book of human nature wlr-se special subject:is woman.—Douglas Jerrold's Shilling JJetga ■ E cl i t o r *fc Proprietor Swedcnl/argiaii.—Professor Bush has re cently, by Ins lectures in New York and Boston, given a new interest to the doctrines of Sweden borg, who entertained peculiar views respeet- ing the spiritual nature of man and ihe corres pondences of spiritual beings. In one of Prof. B's. recent lectures he thus explained man's two states of being: “Man has two states of being, an outer or material body, and an internal or spiritual body. The first is perishable, but .the second is eter nal. In a future life the spirit has the same shape and form as it has in tue present, but the material is gone; still it is palpable to the view, and all persons in a future state Can see and hear each oilier, and can observe the forms! they also have the power, the moment they are put in communication wiili each other, ofkriow- ing not only what is then before them, but what has passed. The spiritual man having lost the material, or the earthly substance Of which its outer form was composed, Cannot however, come in communication with those who have not passed through the same state of change as itself; nor can any one, before undergoing that change, have communication, except by some extraordinary event like that which happened to Swedenborg, with the spirits which have gone before him. “Tlie lecturer explained, in quotations from the works of Swedenborg, what was the ap pearance in a future state, of the Heaveh and Hell described iu the Scriptures, dwelling up on the beauties of the former, and describing what lie called its paraidaisical scenes, and li kening the latter to the fancies in the brain of one suffering under delirium tremens. The fu ture was in fact but an elucidation of a man’s character, nnd the spirits of others were contin ually hovering over us aud prompting us to good or evil.” A work is issued periodically by Piof. Bush in which these doctrines are fully set forth. Tartar Marriages—A writer in the Cincin nati Commercial says, in describing the pecu liarities of the marriage ceremony in Tartary, that the preliminaries being settled, the nup tials are celebrated in the following manner.— The bride, covered with a veil, having hid her- •elf for some time behind a screen in the room, conies forth and walks around with a grave and solemn gait, while some young girls bring her bread and honey; the bridegroom quickly en ters: kisses her and exchanges rings, after which she hears the name of betrothed girl.— She then returns behind the screen, wh n the married women put on her the cap of a matron, which is much handsomer, and is supposed to be more fascinating than that which she wore be fore the betrothed. .la the evening when the bride and bridegroom are about retiring the la dy is obliged to pull off" her husband’s hoots as a sign ofsubjeciion to his will! If the husband becomes dissatisfied with his wife, lie needs but tear off" her. cap of a matron and the si«;n is a complete divorce. The lady then immediate ly returns to her father's house, where site is re ceived with kindness. Trickery in Trade.—A late number of Hunt’s Merchants’ Magazine, contains an inter esting mptnoir of Gideon Lee, from which we derive the following "anecdote, illustrative of his f.iirdea'irig, and of the usual effect of tricke ry in trade. No man more thoroughly des pised dishonesty than Gideon Lee; and he used to remark, no trade cm be sound that is not beneficial to both parlies, to the buyer as well as to the seller. A man may obtain a tempo rary advantage by selling an article for more than it is worth; but the very effect of such operations must recoil on himself, in the shape of bnd debts and increased risks. A person with whom he had some transactions, once boas ted to him that he had on one occasion obtained tin advantage over such a rie'ghbor; and “To day,” said he, “I have obtained one over you.” “Well*" said Gideon Lee, “that may lie: nnd if you will promise never to enter my house again, I will give you that bun-lle of goat sains.” The man made the promise, and look them. Filteen years afterwards,he walked into Gideon Lee’6 office. At the ingiant of seeing him he exclaimed, “You have violated your Word; pay mo (or my goatskins.” ‘’Oh,“ said live mm, “I am quins poor, and have been very unfortu nate since I saw you.” “Yes,” said Gideon, “and you will always pe poor; that miserable desire for overreaching others must ever keep you so.” “What’s tho price of this silk ?” inquired a deaf old lady of a young shopman. ‘Seven shilling.” was the reply. “Seventeen shillings!” exclaimed she ; “I’d give you thirteen.” “Seven *hilling’.s ma’am, is the price of the silk,” replied the honest draper. “Oh! seven shillings.” the lady sharply re joined; “I’ll give you five." ‘Manners,’says the eloquent Burke, ‘aro of more importance than laws. Upon them in a great measure, the laws depend. The laws touch us here and there—now and then. Man ners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase barbarize or refine, by a con- stanl, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in- They give their whole form and color to our lives. According to their quality they aid morals; they supply them, or they totally destroy them.’ REPORT Of the Cammiitce appointed by the Agricultu ral Association of Georgia, on Manures. Ynur C :nui ;> ■ to « -::i u .-ts referred the subject of invcst'g'tti: g and reporling on the {test mode of ra’sirig and applying manures, acknowledge that their experience is so limited, that they are emir, ly incapable of doing justice to tint important branch of Agriculture, not- w.ilislanding, we beg leave to Repoit: 1st. That to succeed in raising manure, wc should fi.id out what are tl e different composi tions that will ferment and di-composc in tho shortest lime, ami in the best mail nor; and our limited experience is this: to haul upon our farm-yards corn und cotton stalks, leaves from tlje woods, rotten wool, &c., and spread them upon tie yard; and then cover them with muck or dji t, frem a pood ; after they have been suf- ilicu.uU>' trod, dunged and urinated upon, which time.must, he regulated by the season of tho year, it,should he thrown into a pit prepared for the purpose, or in pens, taking care, after your heap is complettd, to cover it wqll f witl} muck or pond dirt, to proveut evaporation. Your Stahies should he filled up w ith the same kind of : lilter, except the muck, and cleaned out once a week ; this system would make it more comfortable for your horses, and,prevent tho loss of a great quantity of urine. The quanti ty. of litter to he placed upon the barn-yarJs must differ in the different seasons of the year. In the spring, they should bo six inches deep, the muck or pond, dirt, one inch deep. In the summer, the coat or layer of lilter.and muck should not het'so.thick, and trod not exceeding four weeks, their raked up and thrown into the pit or pen. The reason for cleaning up in so short time isobvio.us; it preyents the long hot summer days sun from burn-ng it up, or killing the droppings or dung of the cattle, acd tho evaporation of tlie urine, which we believe to be.noJiulc item. As the season moderates, the layers of littpr and muck should he deeper aud longer trod. Wt; are of opinion that tho above preparation nv*y be continued for cotton, until tho last of February successfully. Your Committee beg leave now to report upon the application of manures. In the first place, wo recommend that "the manure be pla ced in tlie hill or drill, as deep, if possible, as the clay or subsoil, immediately under the corn or cotton, or any other article, anil covered wiili dirt previ.ius to planting. If for corn, a ve|ry small quantity of dirt should be placed up on the manure; if for cotton, it should be bed ded upon until the manure is caiired from four to six indies deep. The reason that wo recommend placing manure in the hill or drill, is owing to the small quantity that we have.— If we had a sufficient quantity, by all means the system of throwing it broad-cast is the true agricultural system. A I! seeds should be plan ted immediately subsequent to ihe application of the manures. Jn treating upon the subject of manures, cotton seed comes into the account, as il is known to he a great fertilizer. There seems, however, to be as many conflicting opin ions and modes in the application of cotton seed as’"manure, as any other article of ma nure, if not more. Some contend, (and all say from experience) that tire proper mode is to put the seed in the bottom of the furrow, after the ground is laid off, and then throw a small quan tity of dirt upon the seed, then drop the corn and cover in the common way, Bay with a plough or hoe. Others contend that the seed should he dropped upon the hill immediately after the corn is planted—some say not until the corn is up, and then they should Ire placed round the corn and covered with a lice, which is a weeding or hilling to the corn. Now, it follows of course, that all these mode, cannot be right; and to know the proper mode of ap plying them, it is necessary first to know tho fertilizing properties the seed possess. This, your Committee believe, all will concede, is mostly contained in their oily substs ncest; if so, tlie matter is at once settled, for thin reason: oil is lighter Ilian water, consequently in a wet time, or when the earth is full of water, the oil will rise, being lighter than water, and in its ri sing it has to work its way through to the. sur face, and in this process, the roots of the corn receive its nourishment, consequently it should be placed deep enough to be below the roots of the corn. YoUr Committee not being acquainted with the principles of chemistry, nor that of analy zing, defers any reference to them, but believes them connected with Agriculture, and do not believe that the true system of agriculture can be carried out without a knowledge of them. Your committee believe the practice of heat ing cotton seed in pens or heaps, as is the cus tom of the country, entirely at variance with ihe triie mode of preparing seed for manure, as il is conceded that oil is the fertilizing property contained in the seed. You readily discover that heating tlie seed destroys a goodly quantity of the oil. To remedy this, we recommend that the seed be kept dry under shelter until they are wanted for use, nnd then with some simple machinery the seed he so smashed as r.ot to sprout after they arc applied as manure, and bii applied in the green slate. All of which is respectfully submitted for the cons'deration of tlie Association. JOHN W. MOODY, Or.e of the Committee. White Wash.—Take 1J gallons of well burnt lime, slack the same with hot water in a tub, (covered to keep in the steam,) pass it in the fluid form through a fine seive; add one pint of common salt, one-fourih of a pound of whiling pulverized, one pound of brown sugar, three pints of rice-fl ur, made info a thin and well-boiled paste, and one pound of glue well dissolved : adJ five gallons of hot water to the whole mixture. Apply with a painter’s brush, warm if upon the outside of the building; if within doors, cold. The above forms an excel lent while-wash, and will retain its brilliancy for years. A simple Rule.—Tv irocerlam the length of ihe day and night at any lime of tlie year dou ble the time of the sun’s i i'ing, which gives the length of the night and double the time of sel ling which gives ibe length of tht day. Guessing at it.—Some wag soys that in Io wa they weigh pork by putting a i \tnk across a rail, with the hog on one end and then piling stones enough on tho other to balance, and then guess nt tlie weight of the stones.
