/ Tb Teaching of Nature.
Among t e disciples of Hilled, the wise
teacher of lie sons of Israel, there was
/one named ijabit, who hated all kinds of
//labor, and gave Jaimself up to idleness
•' and sloth. [But Hilliel was concerned
about the tlopgjman, and determined to
|Jpr \ cure him. so at length he took him out
into the valhy j f Rinnom, near Jerusa
lem. There wps stagnant water full of
i' ientiles and insects, and covered with
I noxious weeds.
When they had reached the valley,
A Hi liel laid cjovn his staff, and said :
? Her e let us on our way. The youth
l«a‘ astonished. and said: What! mas

Time.
Whether we play, or labor, or sleep, or
da ice, or study, the sun posteth and the
sa ids run. In all the actions that a man
. pi forms, some part of his life passeth.
\\ i die with doing that for which only !
oi ■ sliding life was granted. Nay, i
ts iugh we do nothing, time keeps his j
ci istant pace, and flies as fast in idleness
ai in employment. An hour of vice is
a; long as an hour of virtue ; but the
di Terence which follows upon good ac
ti ns is infinite from that of ill ones.
1 le good, though it diminishes our time
h re, yet it lays up a pleasure for eterni
tj and will recompense what it tak«th
a -ay with a plentiful return at last.
V hen we trade with virtue, we do but
biy pleasure with expense of time; so it
ii not so much a consuming of time as an
exchange. Time is a ship which never
anchors; while I am aboard I had better
; d<> those things that may advantage my
landing, than practice such as shall cause
my commitment when I come to the
shore.— S. S. Advocate.

AUGUSTA, GA. JULY 20, 1844.
“The Great Metropolis” gives an inter
esting account of this remarkable man.
“ One night Lord Ashgrjve lost £ 1000
which he observed to the Earl of Link
wood, was the last farthi.igof ready cash
| at his command. Lord how
; ever had undeniable re
sources. “Excuse me jmy Lud,” said
Crocklord, making a clumsy bow, but
still it was the best at Ljl disposal—“ Ex
cuse me, my Lud, did say as
how you had no morji ready money]
My Lud, this ere is the lank, (pointing to
the bank) if your wishes it,
£IOOO or £2OOO is at yjrjr Ludship’s ser
vice.” “Really Mr. Crockford, you are
very obliging, but I doi 't think I shall
1 play any more to-nifht.” “Ashgrove,”
said Count Whisker®, “Ashgrove, doac
cept Mr. Crockford’s liberal offer of the
£2000; perhaps you nnv win back all
you have lost.” “ Nothink, I azure your
Ludship; will give mo greater pleasnr
fhan to give you the money,.” said Crock
ford. “ Well, let m» have £2000.”
(Jrockfcrd dipped his fingers into the
bank, took out The £3OOO and handed it
over to his Lordship. “ Pter’aps your
Ludship woujjl oblige me with an I O U,
and pay the amount at your convenians.”
“I shall be able to pay it to you in a
couple of months,” said his Lordship,
handing the exfishmonger the I O U.
“Your Ludship’s werry kind-—worry.
Lord Ashgrove resumed the game; in
au hour and a half he was again penny,
less.” This is a single case, we presume,
ofmany hundred of the nobility ruined by
the tricks, frauds and doviceo, practised
at Crockford’a. Tl ,e same system, we
presume, is carried on here, only on a re
duced scale. A Secretary of an insu
rance company can lose SIOOO a night—
a confidential clerk can sport a few hund
red—a gentleman of easy fortune can
lose a few half eagles, and so it goes down
the calendar of vice, to the sweat cloth
andlhimble rig of the raco course—the

“ The next day, just as morning dawn,
ed. a man named Griffith gave out. He
had been bounded by the Indians, and
had ridden a mule until his faculties were
nearly paralyzed with the cold, when he
jumped eff, and again undertook to walk.
I oo weak, however, and too lame to tra
vel, he sank to the ground. A soldier
told him to rise, or he would obey the or
ders given by Salazar, “to put all to
deatu who could not keep up.” Griffith
made one feeble and ineffectual effort.—
ihe attempt was too much. He cast an
imploring look at the soldier, and while
doing so, the brutal miscreant knocked
his brains oyt with a musket! His blan
ket was then stripped from him as the re
ward of his murderer, his ears were cut
off, and he was thrown by the roadside,
another feast for the buzzards and prairie
wolves!
Salazar robbed the poor prisoners, and
nearly starved them to death, although
he had cattle wherewith to feed them.—
On arriving at El Paso, he was put un
der arrest for his cruelty, robbery and
murders, by order of General Fila3, and a
late account informs us, that while on a
recent expedition into the Indian coun
try stealing horses, he was waylaid, killed
and scalped, and his body left to gorge
the birds and beasts of prey.”—Phila

Liquid Manure.
ilie advantages to be derived from this
kind of manure, are as yet neglected very
much by our husbandmen, as well as
gardeners. Experience has taught us,
that in a dry season, as well as a wet one,
incalculable benefit may be derived by a
frequent use of it. i'ake a vessel of anv
size, place it on the ground which you
wish to have watered, fill it half full with
cow dung, and then pour on water until
you fill the vessel. Do this soon in the
morning, it stand in the sun until
late in tne afternoon ojf the same day, stir
it well, and then apply? the liquid to the
roots of those vegetables set apart for the
operation. Cold water is injurious to
plums, but with the above preparation,
they may also be watered early of inorn
ings. 1 his liquid of course is of great
advantage to vegetation when the ground
is moist; but as a help to growth in a dry
season, it is much better than water
alone, and answers a double purpose
water and manure. It will likewise
prevent bugs ahd worms from injuring
plants, if it is applied as sprinkling to the
tops. Suitable pots should be procured
for sprinkling, have the rose holes much
larger than ordinary sprinklers. For ap.
plying the liquid to the roots, gardeners
should have long spouts made to their ves*
sels suitable to run out the liquid, because
it will bs necessary to place the end
the spout or conductor to the root, wjj||v
out disturbing the plattfs.— lndagWort f

Green Cornstalks make rhk .hUk. —At
a late meeting of the farmers’ Club in
New York, Sir. Morris, of Morrisenia,
stated that he kept a dairy of 12G cows, to
supply the Naf YorkWrket with milk—
that Jje feeds them on green corn. Ho
sows' his corn broadcast, and sava it
makes better and richer milk than any
other feed he haj used, and there can bo
o doubt but that it produces more pro
mder than any other vegetable. M*.
Vais’s statement exactly coincides with
notion. So much saccharme matter
