He has had much experience, both in this State and that of Pennsylvania, in causing fugitive Slaves to be secured; and will continue to effect such objects, if possible, whenever caded upon. His plans are so well matured, by having, at his command, the most itfioient aid, located at different points, and suc cessfully harmonizing, that he cannot but Hatter him self that he will have more complete success, if possi ble, n future, than heretofore. In defiance of ‘he Ab olitionists, he can cause to be secured anv fugitive slave, w ho shall be north of Mason and Dixon’s line. There neither is. nor can there he, any law of this or anv other State, which can militate against the Fe deral* Jonstitutiun, which authorises the muster, or his regularly constituted Agent io arrest his fugitive slave, take hi.il before a Judge or Magistrate, prove property, and take him away. To the end therefore, it will be necessary for thoie who may wish the services of Mr. P., to forward him a Power of Attorney dulv execut ed. and minutely descriptive of the fugitive, and also a fee of tweuty dollars to defray preliminary and contin gent expenses. When the slave shall have been se cured and handed over to thi master, one hundred dol lars additional charge wi l ! be made.

The widow was young, and the widow v. as fair, And her mourning she wore with so touching ;.n air That many folks said—nay, a great man swore— ’Twas a pity she vowed she would marry no more.

My heart is a lone deep, Silent, and sad, where, in the gloom profound, Things wild, and rich, and strange, lie scattered roand In solemn sleep. And when the storm-wind biowj r As the tumultuous waves of ocean tise, So doth my struggling spirit seek the skies In fruitless throes. O! It doth pall the flours To feel the yearning sympathies decay; Pining unknown, or reckless throw n away. Like Righted flowers! Bud,branch and root, all blighted! I stand a lonely and a hopeless thing, Counting the moments of my withering, Lost anu benighted. No sweet returning spring Shalt bid Ihe drooping b.ossoms bloom again. Deep m the root the canker-worm hath lain Its deadly sting. Farewell! All words are vain— Within ‘he gathering darkness of its cell My heart shall sigh its lasi and long farewell To pride and pain! And ah! ye sparks of light!— Though ye may not the erring spirit save. Yet you will sruile upon the lone one’s grave, Sweet stars of night! THE MOTHER OF GEN GREENF. Among tho many ladies who dis tinguished themselves for their pat riotism, charity, and other good qualities, in our Revolution, there j is one whose name ought not to he forgotten, and who, in my opinion, is equal in merit to any that flour ished in our country, and there were many at that time. About the i commencement of our Revolution,! and as soon ns it was ascertained , that Nathaniel Greene, (afterwards 1 General Greene,) intended to join j our army in defence of his country, a deputation of Friends, (commonly j called Quakers, and to whose soci-1 ety he then belonged,) by order ofj their Meeting, waited on him. to en- j deavor to dissuade him from it, and after listening to all their arguments on the subject, he informed them j that he felt an irresistible propensi ty, not to he got over, for joining his brethren in arms. He thanked them for the interest they had tak en in his welfare; hot he could not comply with their request. When the deputation took tin affectionate leave, and left him, his.mother, who had been listening with all the anx iety of a fond parent, used her best endeavors to prevail on him to stay at home, when he told her it was impossible. After a pause she burst into a flood of tears, with this re markable observation: “Well, Na thaniel, if thee must go, it is possi ble that I may hear of thy death, and if it he God’s will that it shall so happen, I hope I shall not have the mortification to hear of thee be ing wounded in the hack.” Com ment is needless—a Spartan moth er could not have said more; hut Mrs. Greene stands pre-eminently superior to the mothers of antiquity, ns her education was so different— she was bred a Christian. length of Days. —A memoir ad dressed to the Academy of Sciences at Munich, by Dr. Tenzen, contains the following notice of the length of days in the principal cities of Europe. At Berlin and London the longest day has sixteen and a half hours, and the shortest seven and a half hours. At Stockholm and Up sal, the longest has eighteen and a half hours, and the shortest five and a half. At Hamburir, Dantzic and Stettin, the longest day has se venteen hours and the shortest se ven.

Excellent hints to Mechanics. — Mechanics, avoid giving long credits , even to your best customers. A man who can pay easily will not thank you for the delay. A fish may as well attempt to live without water, or a man without air, as a mechanic without punctuality and promptness in collecting and paying his debts. It is a mistaken and ruinous policy to attempt to keep on and get business by delaying collections. When you book a slack paymaster, you only gam the chance of losing your mo ney; and there is no man who pays more money to lawyers than he who is least prompt in collecting for him self. When you do your woik, and the time for pay arrives, if it is not handed immediately up to you for your hard labor, I say, quit the work of such a customer, if you are sure never 10 pet a cent for it. These ore excellent hints and good ules. The rule of a workman is to receive his payment every Saturday, at the close of his week’s labor, unless he can do without it it, ami you make the agreement otherwise. We like our pay to meet our payments. Charleston Courier.

It will, no doubt, be interesting toj your readers to read, as it was to i tne to hear, the routine of Her Ma-j jesty’s daily occupation whilst she is’ in London. They are mu the same when she is at Windsor or at Brighton. The Queen is, and is generally known, an early | riser, seldom being in bed later than | half past seven, except on the morn ’ mgs after her state Uills, or on those , few occasions when she honors the | parties of the nobility with her pre j scare. Her hell is rung about eight j o’clock for her “dressers,” and by nine her majesty, her royal consort, ! and her household, are at breakfast. | The time occupied by tins meal is I about half an hour, when her Ma jesty, if the weather permits, enjoys I the air in the pleasure gardens at i taehed to Buckingham Palace —this I garden covers a space of forty acres. H ere the Queen frequently remains an hour, and is accompa nied by some of the household or by the Prince. When she is accompa nied by the latter, etiquette pre scribes that, except by invitation, i the ladies gentlemen in attendance should walk at a respectful distance. Upon her Majesty’s return to the palace, she is attended by her secre tary, when she affixes her signature to the various documents which ac quire their validity by it. These comprise treasury and other war rants, tiie commissions of military 1 officers, state papers, &.C.; and they are frequently so numerous, that it h ;S before now required more than two boors to get through this busi ness. The Queen passes the time between one and three, either in j conversation, reading, painting, or music. In these two. accomplish ments her Majesty is eminently proficient; her drawings are much! admired, and her love for music is well known; she is excellent both as an instrumental and vocal perform-! er. There are three pianofortes in! the suit of three drawing rooms usually inhabited, hut that which is especially her Majesty’s, and which! is only touched by her fingers, is; magnificent; it is rosewood, inlaid with gold and vignette pictures, and cost 1,500 guineas. Luncheon is served at three, after which the! Queen receives the Cabinet Mini sters and such other persons whom it is usual to honor with audiences. At live the royal cortege leaves the palace, and proceeds through the parks, &,c., and generally returns 1 about seven or a quarter after. — Dinner is generally served at seven or a quarter before eight, except on opera nights, when it is a little ear-; lier. The usual number of persons who dine at the royal-ln bln is about; thirty. The Queen never .fails to be present, except upon the nights; of a ball, either at the palace or! elsewhere. On these occasions her j Majesty dines in her own suite of apartments. The Queen, who oc cupies the centre se t of a dining table, remains from an hour and fire minutes to an hour ami a quar ter. Her rising is the signal for th 1 ladies to move after her, and in a very short time subsequent to this move the gentlemen follow. Dur ing dinner time the band of one of i the regiments of Guards generally j attend. The musicians are placed ■in a situation hove 1 lie ceiling of the apartment. They are separated from 4he roval party by large panes of ground glass, which mellow the sound, and prevent the musicians seeing into the apart meat. Tea and cofiTee are served immediately after dinner, in a small room lead ing from one of the drawing rooms. The remainder of the evening is passed with music and conversation, in both of which the Queen and Prince Albert take a part; and about half past eleven Her 3iajesty retires to her apartments, which are in the immediate vicinity of the drawing rooms, and with which there.is a communication by means of a door that is ordinarily conceal ed by a cabinet. This cabinet is on rollers; and it is, when her Majesty expresses a desire to retire, imme diately rolled sufficiently far away to enable tile door to he opened, and is replaced again as soon as she bus quitted the apartment. RUSSIAN MILITARY REVIEW. [From the Army and t\nvy Chronicle ] ft gives ns pleasure to lay before our readers the following interest ing and graphic account, given by an officer of our Army, who wus present at a Russian military re view: “Four days of our time in Russia were spent at the camp of Krasnoe, Selo, sixteen miles from St. Peters burgh. On our arrival, we were in vited to assist in the manoeuvres which would take place in the three following days. Accordingly, next morning we were presented to his Imperial-Majesty in the field; then | taken to he chapel tent, attended | divine service with the Imperial family and staff, surrounded by fifty thousand military worshippers; rode through the different camps; saw j the Fmperor inspect the officers of j regiments, and exercise those of the cavalry in tilling, giving point, charging, &c., at full speed; attend ed the evening hymn and prayers at retreat, and went re bed !o reflect upon the novel and imposing cere monies and exercises of a Russian army in camp. “The next day was particularly interesting; all the artillery, one hundred and twenty eight pieces be ing in the field manoeuvring and firing at targets —six of the batteries being of horse artillery, and two of those being of twelve pounder guns, and twenty four howitzers, and drawn by eight horses each. The firing from this immense field train was indeed grand, and the effect, with round, canister, and shells, was destructive to the targets, which we .examined at the close of the ma noeuvres. “The next day was a cavalry day, including tho horse artillery, and, with them, amounting to fifteen thousand men, four regiments of cuirassiers, four of dragoons, two of hussars, two of lancers, (Cossacks,) besides squadrons of Circassians, Persians, Sec. &,e. “The last day, the whole army of thirty six thousand infantry, and cavalry and artillery, making over fifty thousand, were on the field at seven o’clock, A. M. and the Empe ror, commanding in person, com menced and executed a series of splendid manoeuvres, bringing the entire force into action, and decid ing the (imaginary) battle lif a grand charge by the infantry and four thousand cuirassiers. These mn | noeuvres commenced by sending in ! advance skirmishers of Cossacks, j who, being attacked, kept up a spirit ed fire, and by their bugles, asked for reinforcements. Lancers were despatched to their aid, and the ene my temporarily checked and driven : hack. In turn this advanced party was repulsed, and reinforced by some regiments of dragoons; the in fantry regiments (three thousand \ strong each) meantime all in motion from different points toward the scene of attack. As the regiments arrive in column of attack, they de ploy, from line of battle, and sup port the cavalry, which fall back, or fight •on the flanks. The attack finally becomes general along the whole line of two miles, the infantry firing, changing position, charging —the horse artillery establishing batteries with the rapidity of light cavalry, jml hurling its thunders at the enemy in fine style. The re ; serve is at length brought forward ; by the Grand Duke Michael, forms in column of attack in the rear of the first line, which retires through ; the intervals of the new line; the ! reserve charge with the heavy caval j ry, and victory is the. result of four i hours’ incessant and most splendid ‘manoeuvring. “The morning w as a most beauti ful one; the troops (ail Imperial Guards) in their finest condition— ! the twenty thousand horses on the field, all picked, choice, high bred animals—the artillery new, with green carriages and burnished guns, glittering in the sun like gold.

I row have svPfJt potatoes (yams) of :a-t. year’s growth, on my table every day, althtiu; k the new crop has been fit. to use here for more than a month. This is year of my success in keeping them through the summer, after a greafcmany previous experiments and failures, and others tnay Ike to know and try the plan for themselves. Here it is: 1. I made a plentiful crop. 2. My potatoes were dug and pnt up in m id, open weather, as soon as the vines were singeu by frost. 3. The eating potatoes were carefully pick ed over, and all that were cut or bruised, wjra put bv themselves for early use. 4. They were then put in heaps of 83 or 100 bushels each, on ground a little sloping. The heaps were covered first with a layer of dry corn stalks, and these with ago coat of earth, taken from the margin of the ..eaps— By this means the earth on which he heaps rested, was left 10 or 12 incites higher than the adjoining ground, besides cutting :renches to carry off the rain water. There were no air holes or vents left at the top. The earth used in covering is a 6andy loam. These po tato banks were protected from rain by slight clapboard shelters. 5. In the spring, at the time of planting slips, my eating potatoes were also taken out of the banks. The decay up to that time was about 15 per cent. The potatoes Were gene rally sprouted. Those that were ent.relv sound were selected, the sprouts carefully re moved, the potatoes wiped dry, but not ex posed to the sun, and removed to a log house on a dry plank floor, where they remained lor use, without any further attention. The loss from decay since they wore put in the house, has been equal to about 10 per cent. more.— I think the lose would have been less, if there had been more room to spread out the pota toes. A gin house would be a fine place to keep them in during the warm weather. For I have found that Irish potatoes can be kept there longer and better than in any dry place I have tried. As to the best method of keeping sweet pota toes through the winter, the following story may direct your attention to a quarter from which you may obtain some useful information. In the Fall of 1833,1 called at the house of J. G. near the Wateree canal. He had just, put up his potato crop; chiefly in a house of the following construction. It had a double log wall, and the space between the walls (15 or 18 inches) was filled with earth. The top or loft was floored with stout puncheons, and these covered over with clay 10 or 12 inches thick; above which there was a common boa rd roof. The ground floor was sunk about two feet below the surface of the earth. The area of the house was about 8 feet wide, 8 feet high, and 15 long, which he compu'od to hold 800 bushels. It was entirely tilled with po tatoes. What struck me mos f , was to see the door (the only opening to the house) closed up, and all the cracks in the shutter and facings carefully chinked up with cotton and tar; if I remember right, Mr. G. gave the following ex planation: For two or three years, on first housing his potatoes, he wbs careful to have toe door kept open until they had gone through a sweat; yet found that he had often lost a third by dry rot. At length he was told that the air ought to be carefully kept out until the sweat was over. The truth of this was strong ly confirmed to his mind, by the recollection that in using his potatoes he found that the farther they lay from the door, the sounder they had kept. He added that he had pre served two crops on the new plan with entire success; and that after the sweating was past, the door was left open all day, in cold weather, without any sensible injury to the potatoes. Would it not confer a public benefit, for you to learn if this plan continues successful, : nd give your readers the information! W. VEGETABLE SILK AND VEGETABLE WOOL. These two plants ha vtf lately attracted much attention in the Island of Martinique, on the account of the tissues which may be fabri cated liora the fibres attached to their seeds. Tho first of these is Asclepias Minor, or Vegetable Silk of t.iO West Indies. We have several plants of the genus asclepias in the United States, properly called silkwool; jx;r haps though here at tbe North it may not pro duce fibres of the same length or fiuenesc.— In Martinique it perfects its pods in four months, and the plant itself lastg six years from the planting. It has been carded and spun. The thread is beautiful, glossy an t brilLant and silk, and as strong as cotton.— This remark is made of the plant in its wild state; but it has been cultivated, and both the staple of tho plant and the quantity of its pro duction are extremely improved by cultiva tion. It will grow, no doubt, in Louisiana. The other plant is the Bombax Minor , a shrub growing to the height of seven or eight feet. It produces a long pod, which contains a kind of wool which the rnanucturers o. Lyorv, to whose inspection it was submitted, have de clared as fine as the wool of Thibet It is easily spun, and the thread is- as strong as woollen yarn. Fourteen months are necessary to bring the pods to perfection. It will proba bly grow in Florida.— N. Y. Evening Post. Domestic habits of the Turks. —ln the morn ing the Turk generally rises with the sui., says his prayers, smokes his pipe, drinks on a small cup of coffee, which is not followed by a glass of rakee: he then proceeds to where he idles his time, for 1 Will not do him the injustice to suppose that he really la bors. About noon he has his break last, con sisting of several piates of stewed meats and vegetables, with perhaps a plain pilaff These plates of meat and vegetables are composed of at least seven parts vegetables to one of meat. After breakfast, the ppe and cup cf coffee is [are] repeated, and the Turk again idles away his time until about an hour or so before sunset, when he takes his dranqr, which is nearly the same as breakfast; with the addi tion of a desert of melons, grapes, or other fruit, as the season may afford. The Turk rareiy stirs abroad after dinner, bin a he is one of those inclined to be jolly, gives h.o; ae.f up for the rest of the evening to Ins pq and his bottle, securely hid from the pry eye of a neighbor: for be it known, that ih Koran does cot say that a Musselman “me. net drink wine;” it only says **tkat a 3lusse-i man must not be eeenio drink wine;” and un der tbs equivoque the pious follower of the prophet considers himself entitled to break the sacred law.
