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 »c say. 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. Poultry.— Have your lien house, nests and looatetliorourl.lveleansed: then while -a-** P-e •-•7? chopped up fine twice a week, and in that twjcu a w eck i abbage or turnips cut fine and having observed to do what we re- I- I tend tho same trcaiun-so nr jour other poultry—and r*«*Href that you must pay •attention throughout the season to the clean sing of all of your poultry houses, a* with out it you cannot be successful. Mr. Pell, of I. Isler county, New York, lust season used the fertilizing process mat is becoming common in Europe, being lime and charcoal, and obtained 79 bushels and 24 quarts of wheat per acre, weighing 04 pounds to the bushel. Corn and Ground. —li is full time in many of the Southern States to be making arrangements for preparing the ground in tended for corn, and in view of this fact, wc deem itourduty loadvisethat deep plotigh iog bo attended to, though the bard nan may he disturbed, as irj that very hard pan potash may bo found to give stability and strength to the corn-stalks. “Lively and gossipping; Stored with tlie treasures of the tattling world, 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.

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.” COMMISSION BUSINESS.

WINGFIELD, j Ass, g nees - January 510,1845. 8 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.
