Vs. Editor : It having Iwi my misfor
?um*U<ii»«|'iw!iiii>l. and to bo without
m wi«y *«* itnj.rovr it. I was much cheered
at the following caption of an article winch
appeared in the last number of the South
ern Planter, to-wit ;•* How Poor Men may
Make Poor 1.an.1 Rich.*’ This struck me
as lu'tng the desideratum at w hich I had so
long aimed ; l therefore, read the urticlc
with avidity; hut to! my spirit quailed
when I found that lime and plaster were
•* indispensable.” It is true your corres
pondent has suggested an economical way
to obtain these articles under oircuinstan
ees ; but suppose I ant located in a neigh
borhood where there are no oyster-shells or
ovatcr-hourcs. and without money to buy
plaster; I ant barred these benefits. Per
mit me, therefore, to suggest a course,
w hich is hcilrr'.caluulated to. altamVlw# end
proposed bv yottreorrespondont. fVtc wife
and the necessary farming implements be
ing obtained, to put his land (the poor
man's) in good arable condition, let him
plant his corn iu will pulverized earth,
and go to his ash-hanks and piles of horse
manure, and take therefrom a quantity suf
ficient to drop in each corn-hill, otic quart
(a pint of leached ashes will sulTioo) so
long as his inumtre lasts, and work his corn
without reference to the application of ma
nure, and my word for it, lie will improve
double the quantity of Innd and make dou
ble the quantity of corn that ho would have
done had he have applied his manure
broad cast; and I have little doubt but that
the double quantity of laud thus maim red
will yield more wheat; for from my expe
riment in this way, I find the manure diffu
sed through tho beds to an extent that no
one can conceive, who has not experiment
ed ill this way. The second crop the beds
w ill be reversed, and tho same course pur
sued, by which u more general dilfusion of
manure will take pluue. I am fully per
suaded that the small quantity of manure*
reoniumemlod in this nrliolu will double
the quantity of grain tlmt n broad-rnst ap
plication ot the same would, and leave the
laud bettor cvcrv year.
A PATRON.
.1 Word to Planters. —Wo trust that none ;
of our planting friends will bo induced by
the slight improvement in the price of cot
ton, as indicated by the foreign advices, to
change, for a moment, their determination !
to diminish the amount of tho production, j
Whether accidental or intentional, w-c will i
not say, hut it so happens that nearly every
year, just ns our planters are preparing to i
put their crop in the ground, there is a mark- |
ed improvement in prices on the other side !
of the water. This lias generally had the
desired effect of increasing the quantity of ;
land planted, and consequently the amount |
of cotton produced. In the report of the |
market for 1844, as exhibited in the unnun!
circular of one of the most respectable I
houses in Liverpool, this matter is more j
than one? shadowed forth; and though we ;
would not in tho slightest degree impair j
the public confidence in tho general stutc- j
inents of that able paper, wo w ould especi
ally guard our agriculturists,as far as pos
aiblc, ngaiiut the fatal error of over plant
ing. They arc now on the right track.—
••Diversity of labor,” should bo their inotto,
pursued with a steadiness and energy which
must result in success. Every planter
who acts upon this principle will wisely
promote his own interests and tho common
good of the country.— Sat\ Rep.
.4 good Compost for Sandy Land. —Take
10 loads of siahlo or barn-yard manure, 5
loads of clay, 10 bushels of ashes, ami 20
bushels of litne,- mix the w hole well togeth
er, let it remain in pile a few days, turn it
over, w bon it will be fit to apply to the I
land.
The above quantity will make a hotter
dressing for un acre of sand than twenty, i
or even twenty-five loads of stable or barn- I
yard manure alone, and will last longer. !
Let any one who may doubt, try it, and
they will be convinced of the truth of what

Yellow Locust — ls you have but little !
fencing timber fit for posts on yaur farm.!
sow a few pounds of yellow locusrseed, and
when the plants are two years old they j
may be transplanted. In twelve years
from the time the seed is sow n you may bo- j
gin to cut them for posts. Say you, twelve j
years is a long time to wait; but you
should recollect, that every farmer lias
some spot w here they might be grown, and ,
that, as fencing is a dear article, every
farmer should ciuloavor to grow his own
timber.
Repairs end White-washing Outbuildings
—Submit every out-buUding on your pljce
to a searching examination, repair every
one which needs it. This done, make
yourself a white-wash after this fashion:
Dissolve two pouuds of potash in live gal
lons of water, then add 2 lbs. of alum, and
when that is dissolved, add 10 lbs. of w heat
flour, make the whole into a paste by stir
ring in the flour a little at a time—then in
anotlier tub slack as much lime as you dc
aire to use. and when cold incorporate it
with the first, and apply it to all parts of
your buildings,'both inside and out, roof
and ail, and you will not only have put on
a beautiful and durable but one
w hich will render you oodw ork near
ly incombustible.

is becoming common in Europe, being lime

24 quarts of wheat per acre, weighing 04

“Lively and gossipping;

And with a spice of mirth too,"
THE MARRIAGE.
Bind the white orange-blossoms in her hair,
Soft Im- their shadow—soft, and somewhat
pale—
for they are omens. Many anxious years
Are on the wreath that bonds the bridal veil.
The maiden leaves her childhood and her home,
All th it the past has known of happy hours—
Perhu|M her happiest ones. Well may there be
A faint van color on those orange flowers.
For they are pale as hope, and hope is pale
With earnest watching over future years ;
With all the promise of their loveliness,
The unknown future dims their wreath w ith
tears.
LOVE AND MADNESS.
A most affecting anecdote is related by
Dr. Twins, in bis Treatise on Disorders of
the liruin. A ludy on the point of marri
age, whose intended husband usually trnv
cl led by the stugc-coacii to visit her, went
one day to meet him, and found, instead of
him, on old friend who came to announce
to her the tidings of his sudden death. She
uttered a scream, anil piteously exclaimed,
“ He is dead !” but then all consciousness
of the affliction that had befallen her ceas
ed. “ From that fatal moment,” says tho
author, has this unfortunato female, for 50
years, in all soasons, traversed the distance
of a few miles to the spot where she expect,
ed hor future husbnnd to alight from tho
coach, and evorv day she utters in a plain
tive tone, I Ho is not enmo yet. 1 will re
turn to-morrow.” There is a more re
markable case, in which love, after it bad
long been apparently extinct, produced a
like effect upon ing accidentally reviv
ed It is recorded in u Glasgow newspa
per. An old man, residing in the neigh
borhood of that city, found a miniature of
his wife, taken in her youth. She had been
dead many years, and he was a person of
strictly sedate and religious habits, but the
of this picture overcame him. From
the time of its discovery till his death,
which took place some months afterwards,
he neglected all his ordinary duties and
employments, and became in a manner im
becile, spending whole days without utter,
ing a word, or manifesting the slightest in
terest in passing occurrences. The only
one with whom lie would hold any commu
nication, was a little grand child, who stri
kingly resembled the portrait; to her ho
was perfectly docile ; and a day or two
before his death he gave hor his purse, and
strictly enjoined her to lay tho picture be
sido him in the coffin—a request which
was accordingly fulfilled.
REASONABLE OFFER.
Horne Tooke, having challenged Wilkes,
Sheriff of London, the latter wrote the fol
lowing laconic reply :
“ Sir, —I do not think it my business to
cut olf the head of every desperado that may
be tired of his life, but as I am at present
high sheriff of London, it may happen that
I may shortly have an opportunity of at
tending you in my official capacity, in
which ease will answer for it, you shall
have no reason to complain of my endeav
ors to serve you.”
THE UNICORN.
M. Fresnel has published a notice of the
existence of the real unicorn in the wilds of
Hadramaut. This strange beast has a sin
gle horn, attached to Its head by a joint,
through which it can elevate or depress its
horn at pleasure ; remarkably confirming
Psalms 92, 10, where it speaks of the ‘horn
being exalted like the horn of the unicorn,'
and it will throw great light on other pas
sages of Scripture, which the ignorance of
Arabia prevented our comprehending. It
need scarcely be said, that our idea of a
horned horse, for the unicorn is of heraldic
origin, and a physiological absurdity.

Till-! SIAMESE TWINS
We find the following interesting ac
cownt of the twin* and their farm lit*, pub
lished in a Raleigh (S. C.) paper. A gen
tlcman. living neighbor to them, was writ
ten to, u* know whether they were married
or mil, and replied a* follows :
“ Dk cxui 2(Mh, 194 I.
Sir I will now satisfy, or iry to do so* l
the anxiety you seem to have alaiut the Si
amese twins—the fact of iheir being
ed, sir, you need not doubt. They are i
married ; I have often seen their wives be
fore they were married, aud since. Ade
laide and Sarah Yeath, were the names of
the lailies they married. They have each
one daughter, whose names aio Josephine
and Jauc-carsyler. The ladies they mar
ried were in possession of considerable for
tune, and ladies of a great many personal
accoinplisbincnts; quite delieute and hand
some. Their children are a complete mod
el of themselves. As to the precise time
that they married, I cannot state. They
were married by the Rev. Colbey Sparks,
Minister of the Baptist Church, who I am
well acquainted with, and who has often
told me all about the circumstances. The
ladies were born and raised in the county
of Wilkes, and there are no ladies in the
county with whom I am better acquainted.
The twins live within three miles
half of me. They live in quite spiendff/
style, and have all things neatly arranged
about them. They have a splendid assort
ment of farming utensils, and seem to have
superior knowledge of how to use them.
No family appears to enjoy life with
more delight, in short, their situation is
as near complete, as any person I ever saw.
And from every appearance, it seems to
appear that they are the very men who
ought to have married.
Tn politics, they vote the Whig ticket in
full, and advocate tho whig principles
strenuously. They voted for the immortal 1
Harrison, in 1840 ; they voted for the ever 1
to be remembered Clay, in 1844 ; they vo- !
ted for J. M. Morehead, in 1840 and ’42, for
Governor, and for the Hon. Win, A. Gra- j
ham, in 1844. 1 never knew them to vote j
for a Democrat. And they are quite able
in debniing and advocating the Whigprin- I
ciples. *■»
Their manner and custom at home isT
quite polite and accommodating, and thoirtj
company very engaging ; so much so, that
their home is often crowded with visitors.
They sometimes give parties and Christ
mas dinners.”
NOVEL APPLICATION OF THE
WATER CURE.
Priessnitz and his disciples have furnish
ed us many curious anecdotes of the
wonderful effects of water, but they have
not, so fur as we know, pretended to cure
matrimonial squabbles by the application
of their favorite remedy. The following
story from a Swiss Journal, however, would
seem to bo indicative of a power in the.
•clear, universal liquid,’ that has been lit
tle thought of hitherto. Every paper should
copy it for the benefit of those afflicted :
N. Y. Tribune.
“ A married couple, who had for several
years live’ 1 jri a state, of anti-conjugal har
mony, de* f)ined to part, and made an ap
pointmen. h each other to meet at a no
tary’sto sign the deed of separation. To
arrive at the office they had to cross a lake,
and, ns it happened, they both embarked in
the same boat. On their passage a storm
arose, and the boat was upset. The hus
band, being a good swimmer, soon reached
the shore in safety ; on. looking round him,
to sec the fate of iiis fellow passengers, lie
discovered still struggling for her
life, but in inmiinent danger. A feeling in
his early affection returned to him, a'£
plunging again intdthe water, he swam to
her, and succeeded in rescuing her. When
she recovered her senses, and learned to
whom she owed her life, she threw herself
into his arms. He embraced her with e
qual cordiality, and they vowed an oblivion
of all their differences, and that they would
live and die together.”
Political. —“ 1 say, you Sam Johnsing,
does you know any thing about this wo
man, Polly Ticks, dat white folks talk so
much about F”
“ Well, 1 doesn’t. You arc too much
for dis child, dis time.”
“ JjVhy Sain. I tort you knowed every
thing ***
“So I does. I know Polly Jones, what
sells coffee in the wegctable market, and I
knows Polly Tompson what does gowin rut
to day’s work up in Canal-street; but wlf'!r
it comes to Polly Ticks, I’m bodered.—
Guess you’d better w hite folks, Pete ;
doy peer to know all about her.”
A writer in an Irish paper, after men
tioning the wreck of a vessel, near Sher
ness, rejoices that “ all the crew were sav
ed, except four hogsheads of tobacco.”
“ George Washington Napoleon Jackson
Hannibal Harrison?” “Ma’am?” “Tell
Josephine Rosina Cleopatra Matilda Victo
ria to bring up the slop pail.” “ Yes,
ma'am.”

Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New-York.
rpHE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY, of New-York, this day com
pletes its second year, having issued its first Pol
icy on the Ist February, 1845), and its 1086th at
the close of yesterday. Os these Policies, 578
are lor Life, 5105 for seven years, and 145) for dif
ferent pferiods. The number of Policies issued
the first year, was 470, the Premiums on which
with Interest on Investments, amounted to 838,-
789; the number issued the second year was
610—cash received during the year for Premi
ums and Interest, 885,95)7 ; making in all, 8124,-
687. The losses and exjienses for the two years
827,414.
This Institution commenced business under
great disadvantages ; the system was unknown,
or at any rate untried in this Country ; it com
menced without Capital other than an agreement
from some 230 subscribers to take out certain
Policies; it had to combat many prejudices, but
by steady attention and unwavering adherence
to the principles laid down on commencing,
which have so far been found to be sound, has
placed itself in its present prosperous and un
doubtedly safe position.
We believe as a Savings Bank, it offers the
best security; its objects are altogether benevo
lent: it induces saving in families for the bes:
of purposes—that of making provision for Wid
ows and Orphans, and to such members of the
community, as cannot readily make other provi
sion for them ; such as Clergymen, Officers of
the Navy and Army, Clerks in Counting Houses
and Banks, Mechanics, and income men gener
ally ; and might be profitably availed of by men
of Capital.
The Charter of this Institution offers great se- ■
curity in the prescribed investments, which are
in Stocks of the United States, of this State, and
Cities,and in Bond and Mortgage on unincum ]
bered Real Estate of this State, valued at twice
the amount loaned thereon ; and the bye-laws
require all Stocks to be placed in the name of the j
President and Finance Committee, a majority of
the Committee with the President being required
to make a transfer; and the payments on Bond
and Mortgage are required to be endorsed on
the Bond and signed by the President aud Sec
retary.
We beg leave, in closing tliese remarks, to re- i
fer our dealers and readers generally, as a fur- '
tlier guarantee for the safety of a well-regulated
Mutual Insurance Company, to an article in j
Hunt’s very able Merchant’s Magazine forOc- 1
tober last, principally taken from Chambers’
Edinburg Journal, which ably, and we think con
clusively, shows it to be beyond peradventure '
safe.

VEGETABLE PILLS
“Tlie skiiinf physician shall lit) up hi* head
n the sight of the great men of the earth, he,
shall be in admiration ; tor he hath prepared hut
medicines <ut of the herbs of tlie field, atid he
that is wise will not abhor them.”
Physicians, medical men, and jrfiilofopher*.
have all agreed that nature lias prepared a reme
dy for every disease. A little reflection must
convince every one of tlie truth contained in
this remark. Dr. Sjiencei’s Pilis are a vegeta
ble remedy, and all-powerful in removing dis
ease. They may betaken with impunity at all
times without regard to diet or exposure, and
without the debilitating effects consequer.t on
taking other medicines. They have tlie united
testimony of tlie whole medical profession in
their favor, and from their decision there is no
appeal. Persons wishing to purchase cannot be
too particular to get Spencer’s Pills, as there are
scores of unscientific preparations put on sale al
most every day, of doubttul efficacy.
[The following is from Mr. Isaac M. Thomas,
Merchant, at Talladega Springs, Alabama.]
Talladega Springs, Talladega Cos., Ala.
August I7th, 1842.
Tiiis i* to certify, that I have been afflicted
with Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, and Liver Com
plaint, aud Costiveness for the last eight or nine
years, during which time 1 had taken, as well as
1 recollect, about sixty boxes of Beckwith’s
Pills, twelve boxes of Peters’ Pills, and a num
ber of boxes of Champion’s and lirandreth’s
Pills, all of which aftorded me but little or no
relief. At last, I was recommended to try Doc
tor Spencer’s Vegetable Pills, and well I did;
for I never had but one attack of the Sick Head
ache after I commenced taking the Pills, (now
about six months,) and I candidly confess, that I
have derived more real benefit from the use of
Spencer’s Pills, than from all the other Medi
cines and Pills that 1 have ever taken, and 1 would
earnestly recommend them to all, as being in
my opinion the best medicine in use for all lin
gering complaints. The Pills have done me so
much good, that I would not feel willing to be
without them for five dollars a box ; and I can
not but feel very grateful to Dr. Spencer for ha
ving prepared such a valuable medicine, and the
distribution of it is conferring a very great favor
on the public, as it is a thing of the utmost im
portance that every family should have a supply
of Doctor S]iencer’s truly valuable Pills con
stantly on hand.

tability in Jefferson county, Ala. suffice:
Gref.nsboii'o, Ala. Feb. 4, 1843.
I certify, that in the summer of 1842, I had a
severe attack of Fever and Ague, and was for
some time under the treatment of a physician,
but received no benefit from his prescriptions—
my disease continued to increase in t lie frequen
cy and severity of its attacks, I at last had re
course to Dr. Hull’s Fever and Ague and Anti-
Fever Pills, and in using half a box, was entirely
cured, and have remained in good health ever
since.
I afterwards had in my family several cases of
Fever and Ague, and have in every instance
made use of Hull’s Pills, which have always im
mediately effected a cure.
Dr. Hull’s Pills, require no puffing w here they
are known and where they are not, a single trial
is sufficient to insure their universal adoption.—
