The TcmperancD Tree. In at chariot of light, from the regions of Jar, The gddtksa 6f Temperance came; Ten thousand is'.iirccted the way, Ami hither conducted the dame. A hir budding branch from the garden above, Where millions, with million*,agree; She brought in her hands as a Hedge of her love, A plant called the Temperance Tree! The celestial exotic stuck deep in the ground, Like a native, soorrflourished and bore; The fame of its fruit drew the nations around, To seek out this peaceable shore. Unmindful of names or distinctions they came, The sober-like brethren Agree; With one spirit endued, they one principle claim, And ijiie Tetflple—the Temperance Tree. Beneath this fair tree, the patriarchs of old Their bread in contentment did eat, Unvexed with the troubles of silver and gild. The cases of the rich and the great. With cold-water’s lievVagri they fully agreed To dwell on in sweet unity; And show the wine-bibberj ’tis wisdom indeed, To honor the Temperance Tree. But hear ;t—although tg relate it is pain— How all the tyrannical rowers, The noble, ignoble, united remain, To cut down this blessing of ours. From the east to the west, blow the trumpet to arms, Through the land let the sound of it flee; Let the far and the near, all unite with a cheer, In defence of the Temperance Tree. [Advocate. V Danger of Relapse. “ Only this once.’’— Exoilus x. 17. ‘‘ Only this once.” —The wine-cup glow’d, All sparkling with its ruby ray,— Ths bacchanalian chorus flow'd, And madness made the revel gay Then he, so long, so deeply warn’d, The sway of conscience rashly spurn’d,— His vow of reformation scorn’d, And Judas-like, to guilt return’d. “ Only this ones!" —The tale is told ! He wildly quaff’d the burning tide, — With metre than Esau’s folly, sold The birth-right of his soul, —and died. I do not Bay that breath forsook Theclay,—and left its pulses dead, — But on her throne weak Reason shook, And all the life of life was fled. Again, his eyes the landscape view’d, His limbs again, their burden bore,— And years their wonted course renew’d, — But hope and peace return’d no more. Even angel-eyes with pity wept, That he whom Temperance fain would save, His vow to her so falsely kept, And strangely sought a traitor’s grave. II Only this once l” —the deed beware 1 Gaze not upon the blushing wine,— Fly from the tempter’s fearful snare, And prayerful trust in strength divine. L. H. S. Alabama Coffee.—The editor of the Montgomery Advertiser states that he lately drank Coffee raised in the green house of Mr. Duncan at Autauga county,, and that it was superior in flavor to the foreign article. This is the first of which we have any knowledge, that ? cofee has been grown to maturity in the United States. It is now that the Pen insula of Florida, being only two or three % degrees north of Cuba, and resembling thanisland in temperature and perenhial vegetation. might be converted into cof fee jflantations.

In this method, he remarked that he was not troubled with weeds or drought. V' ->1 In the fall, as soon as his sorn is ripe, he gathers the ears, then pull* up. all the corn-stalks and lays them length ways between the furrows, \and then splits his ridges with the plough pnd cov ers these stalks completely. Thus are made his ridges for his second crop of corn, to be planted the succeeding soring. The 110 bushels was the second crop, planted over the buried stalks. The above is sufficient to give tha rea der an idea of this system. He contends after the first orop he wants no manure for his corn except the stalks applied as we have described —[Far Adv. 1 ' ' " ■» '■■■■' Corn Stalk Molasses. —We have recently been presented with a bottle of this molasses, which is the richest article of the kind wc have ever seen. It was made in Pendleton District, S. C.; and without machinery to grind, or proper kettles to boil it, from one acre of com mon land, not particularly enriched, was made ninety gallons of the article in hand. This specimen, as we have stated, is finer than any thing of the kind we have seen Two-thirds seems to be su gar, thick and delicious enough to make even -a sick man’s mouth water; and what could not a well one do in the pre mises, in a fair set-to with good warm corn or buckwheat cakes, with fresh but ter and this delicious articleproportiona bly. We hear with great pleasure, of vari ous experiments being made for the pro duction of this article. We entertain no doubt but that Georgia can produce her own Sugar and Molasses, and from her own native corn-stalks, abundantly to supply her own population. And we have just as little doubt that duty, as well as interest, imperiously requires her to do so. We shall keep this bottle of Corn-Stalk Molasses in our counting room for the inspection of those who may desire to look at it, and especially our agricultural friends, whom we invite to inspect it. And we would, when they do look at it and discover its exceeding richness, (for this is really sugar-house syrup, and worth at least double the common mo lasses) —we repeat, when they have look ed at this fine article, and are told that in the up-country of Carolina, from com mon land, ninety gallons, worth at least $45, was the produce of one acre, we shall emphatically ask them the question, What other crop can they offer to put in competition with this, either on the score ofcomfort for their families, or in actual receipts by its sale ? It is time, high time, that the rally cry, above all others, of our State, from the mountains to the coast, should be in relation to the fair and energetic developement of our means of prosperity and happiness, “Georgia ex pects every man to do his duty.”—[Mil ledgeville Recorder. In the hope that many of our planters will try the experiment of making molas ses from corn, we give below for their information, the letter of Mr. W. C. Rogers, of Tennessee, to the editor of fihe “Nashville Banner,” in which the jftoeess of extracting and boiling the ‘juice is fully described.— [S. Miscellany. Dear Sir—l have received various let ters, asking information about the con struction of Mr. Vaughan’s Mill for making Sugar from Corn-stalks, the manner of cultivating the corn, process of manufacture, &c. To save the trou ble of future enquiries, I send you this communication, which you will oblige me by inserting in the Banner. ? The Mill is composed of two upright rollers; one 48 inches in length, the oth er 46, which are secured bv a strong frame 8 feet long, 3 feet wide and 30 inches high ; 17 cogs on one roller work in an equal number of cogs in the other, and are moved by a sweep; the short roller has a body 24 inches long. 20 inches diameter, a reck piece at the top to be inserted in the frames inches long, 10 inches diameter, a cog space imme diatelv under the top neck 6 inches long, and i7£ inches diameter, and a neck piece at bottom 8 inches long, 10 iiichrs diameter, making its entire length 46 inches. The long roller is of the same dimensions, with similar body, neck pie ces and cog pieces, with the exception that 12 inches are added to the top neck of the long roller for the insertion of the sweep. , In grinding, the stalks are passed by hand between the rollers, and the juice is squeezed out on their passage. If not sufficiently pressed out on their first pas sage, they are returned «. second time between the rollers. The juice is caught by the bottom piece of the frame, which is three feet wide like a platform, and sloping on one side, so as to make it run out into a vessel placed there for the pur pose. After the juice is obtained, it ought --- , not to stand more than an hour for fear i of fermentation. It is then placed over i the fire, and as it begins to boil carefully i skimmed. When boiling, the scum should be rapidly removed as it rises. , If some of the syrup can be taken be ; tween the thumb and finger, and when . moderately cool, a thread, a half inch or I- inch long, cart be drawn, it is thought -i boiled sufficient. If you wish only to > make syrup, it is not boiled so much, f To make it grain into sugar a few spoon . fuls of lime-water has been recommend , ed. The only fixtures used by Mr. Vaughan . in boiling were a common ten gallon pot i and three other pots about the same size. j The process*is neither intricate nor tedi -3 ous. Corn standing in the field may be cut, ground up, and converted into ele gant syrup in three or four hours, e Is it profitable ?is a frequent question, if Mr. Vaughan thinks he can make sixty e gallons of molasses per acre, which at s present prices retailing in this neighbor -1 hood would yield a profit of 25 or 50 r dollars. . \ When the manufacture becomes com s men in the West, such is our unbounded 1 capacity for making Corn, of course the , profits would be nominal. But if only 2 made for family use, it will be a great . saving, and become, when we get in the 2 way of making plenty of molasses, an 1 actual blessing to children and negroes. . Three days are sufficient to grind up and i make GO gallons of molasses, and the . work will come on at a season when the . time can be easily spared. The refuse juice is alone valuable for making a mosi ■ grateful beer and good vinegar. The corn I had like to have forgotten i to mention, is the cnninon sort of corn, > planted and cut in the same manner as any corn, with the exception of removing theshoots as they appear. Mr. Vaughan cut his corn as the fodder began to ripen i at which time, he thought the juice would be most apt to be matured; of course he stripped off the fodder before he cut it. Cast of Mill $6. Butter Mai&ng.—Mr. Were, of Lon don, who has been more than thirty years engaged in the better trade of that city has furnished a pi(per to the New Far mer’s Journal, ort, the best manner ol preparing and keeping butter, from which we extract the following: “Solidify and firmness, is, I think, ol more consequence ftnn is generally al lowed ; the nearer can be made o: the consistency of wax, the longer will ii retain its flat or. To Accomplish this ob ject, I recommend salting the cream, by putting in rather morfc fine table salt, than is used when applici! after churning because a part is left witn the buttermilk : or instead of salt, use clqar brine, to mix with the cream or butter.! Brine is pre ferable to salt, as the butW is smoother and better flavored. If kit be used, it ■ may be in the proportion oiutalf un ounce of fine dry table salt, mixed with two drachms of salt-petre, and two drachms of sugar, both made fine, pound of butter. If the butter be made in [ lumps for market, I should recommend that each lump be wrapped round with a . piece of calico, soaked in brine made from fine dry salt, that will carry an egg: * for if the brioe be weak, it will be inju s rious. If the butter is put into a firkin, , the cask should be made of white oak. ash, sycamore or beach, well seasoned by scalding out several times with ho! brine, made from pure and clean salt. If very choice butter, I would recom . mend a salt cloth around the butter, also i on the top and bottom; the cloth to be kept in its place by a hoop, which can be ; removed as the cask fills.” Mr. Were deprecates the use of the hand in making buiter, and recommends the use of wood en pats, not unlike our farmer’s wives butter ladles, for beating out the butter milk or packing in casks. “These pats must be always (except when in the hand for use) kept in a tub of cold fresh water, which will prevent the adhering of but ter, and keep them cool.” 1 A NEW REMEDY FOR THE TOOTH ACHE. J —We were on Monday last informed upon good authority, that the bark from the root of Yellow Poplar, made into tea, and taken into the mouth as hot as it can be borne, and permitted to ! remain there until cool, will after repe ’ tition of nine times, prove an effectual , remedy for the above disease.

One of those enthusiastic beings, | who are never satisfied with divided af [ section—her mind was so exquisitely ' strung that the least discord affected it, ’ and marred the music of the whole.— Some three years since she was introdu ced to a young naval officer, who soon wooed and won her, but, viliian-like bav ; ing sported a while with the choice flower ' which nothing but summer and sunshine could gladden, and after having by sedu ’ lous attentions appropriated the rare geiu ’ to himself, left it, exposed to the rude blast of winter, until chilled and crushed, j it had fallen to the ground seared and J blasted like the withered leaf of autumn. ' The story of his perfidy reached her ears, but woman-like, she would credit naught against the idol of her heart, till her own eyes perused in the papers of a neighboring city his marriage to anotner. The news came like a thunderbolt upon 1 her, withering and destroying her. Now 1 a blighted and spirit-broken thing, she 1 no more hounded on the green like the fawn, or carolled in the sunshine like the 1 lark winging its flight to heaven’s gate; ' a fearful change had come over her, and i reason soon deserted its throne, leaving < her a maniac. She takes no interest in 1 the movements of the parents, but sits i apart, all the day looking from a window, I upon the boundless prospects before her. ' Every attempt to direct her mind has < . been, as yet unsuccessful, and* though i i assionately fond of music in her mo- I ments of reason, the least sound is now j i displeasing to her, and she retires to her * apartment, closing the door after her, as < if to seclude herself from the society of 1 others. What has the man to answer * for who has thus destroyed a virgin flow- I er in the pride of itsjjloom and,, beauty ! < The Libertine. —ls there is a being on earth who deserves the contempt and I oathing pity of every honest mind ; who I pollutes ihe very ground on which he i 1 treads, (and I care not how high his sta-! * tion, or how low his rank) it is that thing , ■ who, dead to every solemn obligation 1 which cements society together, regard- 1 less of the ties ofaffi'ction and the pre- < servation of moral purity and innocence ‘ will deliberately work the destruction of ‘ .he female character and blast her pros- 1 poets for life; who will enter the social hoard, make one of the same social circle around the domestic hearth, and for the f gratification of his debased and beastly nature arrest the current of social happi- J ness and in its stead place the flowing tears of anguish, misery and disgrace. { We know not in what rank to station swell a monster; the midnight robber ap- | pears lovely by his side; the assassin is honorable compared to him; the wild j untutored savage would shrink from his touch.

This settled the point; for the j .oroud little Hibernian, though he would lather eat than fight, still infinitely pre ferred being shot to making an apology, ifcj the two duellists, with their seconds, ®c., were soon upon the battle ground.!

If tired, they stop and the Indian stops also If the delay is great, the Indian, becoming un easy towards sunset, after ail sorts of precautions, resolves on supplicating the beasts to resume their jodrney. He stands about fifty or sixty paces off, in an attitude of humility, waves his hand coaxingly towards the lamas, locks at them with tenderness, and at the same time, in the softest tones, tird with a pa tience I never failed to adyiire, reiterates ic-ic-ic-ic.
