BT MRS. EFFiB FORREST. So truly ere wo children of Hope, that even now, a (hough Winter has by no.means relinquished hie authority, and laid down his rigid sceptre, still w© are dreaming of the lime, when we can say with the Poet: “Tli^ro**perfume upon every wind Muticin every true— Dow# fur the mnUturo-toving flowers— Sweets for the sucking boo ; The sick eouie forth for the boating South, The young are gathering flowers; And lire is a tale of poetry That is told by golden hours.** He, who opens his understanding to the wisdom of Nature, will find that all her changes are pleas, ing and beautiful. But at no time of year are wo eo ihrllllngly alive to these ever pleasing minis trations, eg in the vernal season; for them it would seem Chat the spirit of perfume, music, bloom, sunny days/and green meadows, is a universal instinct! Who does not remember seasons, when a simple tuft of grass, which the melting snows had revealed in the freshness of Its early green, has been hailed with emotions which no after bloom, no perfection of summer beauty, could ex. citsl Who does not welcome the first violet, as the Patriarch did (he olive branch, accepting it as a sign that the storms are passing away, and the earth is beginning to put on her garments of Joj I And if at this pleasant season one could have spate knowledge 0 f the natural sciences, what a dpep and inexhaustible source of happiness would bp unfolded I If one could but analyze a flower, the external world would awake, as if with the magic qf a new creation; for to the more deeply seeing eye would be revealed a more exquisite beauty, a profounder wisdom, which is not elabo rated fn the surface, but which penetrates apd pervades the essence of the soiiT of things. The importance of these studies, as the best means of expanding and strengthening the intellect, of re fining the tpste, and cultivating the moral affec tions, is beginning to be apprehended, but is by no means truly appreciated, 01 thoroughly under stood. Lot not my lair readers start, or frown, when 1 say that no woman should bo a mother, who has not at least a sufficient acquaint ance with the natural sciences to give her children the .rudiments of them, and assist them in forming Cabinets, Herbariums, and other collections. If these sciences wero made the basis of educa tion, if they were understood and appreciated at home, and taught In our common schools, wo should not see our young men dissolute and de praved as they too frequently are, nor our young women wearing away their Uvea in the mircrable fripperies of Fashion and false show. And for this reason, that they cannot bo truly studied with out that perception of Truth and Beauty, which, while It inevitably excites the affections, opens the mind by the roost agreeable methods, to a comprehension of that Divine Intelligence which •• inapt rea, Inform*, and animate* the whole." nnd thus not only expands tho intellect, bat calls forth, and purifies, and exalts the moral arid relig ious affections.— N.

Ho neither asked for pardon, for delay. i nor for appeal. He advanced of his own accord to* . wards Uio door, hi if to accelerate the catastrophe. The door opened on a narrow esplanade, lying bo tween the lowers of the custlo and the outer wells. Twelve soldiers with loaded muskets awaited him there. The narrow space did nut permit them to pUnd at a sufficient distance Jo deprive death of a part of hU horror. Murat, in stepping over (he Uiresbhold of his chamber, found himself face to face with them. 110 refused to lot hi* eyes bo bandaged, and looked at the soldiers with a firm and benevolent smile,'My friends,’said ho, ‘do not make mo suffer by taking bad aim.’ Tbo narrow space naturally compels you almost to rest the muatles of your muskets on my breast { do not tremble, do not strike me in tbo face—aim at the heart, hero it is.' As he ■poke thus ho placed his right hand upon his coat, to indicate tho position of his heart. In liia left hand ho held a medallion, which contained in one focus of love, tho imago of his wife and oi hie four children) as if ho thus wished to make them witness es of his last hour, or !uyo their imago in his last look) Mln hU last thought.

Who does not know William Rufus Blake, for merly acting manager of the Walnut street Thea ire, Philadelphia, now of Walpeck’s Lyceum, New York, the greatest Sir Uanourl Courtley off the stage with a tinge of Dazzle’s peculiarities! Mr. Blake Is apt to plume himself upon his goad looks and irresistible exterior, treating the fairer portion of creation to a view of his fascinations, weather and asthma permitting. Touching the peculiarity of Mr. Blake, vve have a story to relate of him, which Is an apt Illustration, and at the same lime, rather funny. A lady living in one of the streets of New York, not far from Broadway Theatre, had in her employ an Irish servant girl, who was not a particularly remarkable specimen of feminine acumen at any lime, and w*ho was especially dumb as to the idiomatical phrases peculiar to the latitude of Got ham. Thus a soap fat scavenger, is, in New York, ‘‘for short,” caßod a “fat man,” And it is not to be wondered at, that on the occasion of which wo purpose speaking, Biddy, when told by her misuse to go forth and bring a “fut man” to the house, should have slightly mistaken the meaning intended to be conveyed. But off Biddy walked down Broadway, in search of the “fat mao” as she had been commanded.— Now it happened lhal Mr, Blake; who was ex ceceingiy rotund in person, chanced to be stand ing in company with several others belonging to the theatrical profession, Biddy'camo down near the theatre, and seeing Mr. Blake, at once conclu ded him to be the very man she was in search of, so she approached him with a countenance of joy, and touched bis elbow, in order to atlrack his at- lenlion, “Av yo plazo sur,” said she, with a curtsey, “av ye plaze, sur, roc mistress told mo to come and gel ye.” “What,” demanded Blake, not exactly under standing (ho business. “Sure, sir,” said Biddy, “mo misthress who lives around the corner boyant there, jist tould me to come and brink ye to her immediately.” “Who is she! yvhal does «'>? want V asked Blake, pulling up hie collar, and setting his chin in his cravat. “Faith sure,” relumed the girl, “dW'il n wan o’ me knows what the wools, at all, but eho touid mo to bring ye, an’ ye must go.” “la she a lady, and young V “To be sure she is,” “Pretty 1” “Poix yo may say Maf,” answered Biddy. Dlake turned round (o his companions with an air of depreciation, or as much as to say, “You soe what a killing fellow I am among the ladies. — They don’t give rue a moment’s peace.” After which he turned to tho girl, and signified his read iness to follow her. •> Arrived at tho house, Mr. Dlako was forthwith ushered into (he presence of Biddy’s mistress, who looked at him, wondering who the mischief ho was, and what the mischief he wanted. Mr. Blake bowed in the politest manner, and thought tho lady evinced such a flatter ing predilection for his society waa very charm- ing. “You aoe I’ve brought him, ma’am,” said Bid' dy, seeing some explanation necessary. “Who?” asked her mistress. “The fat man, ma’am, as yo touid me.” The lady buret Into a laugh, and then, fearing an unpleasant termination, turned to the astonish ed Blake, and said, “I see, sir, you have been tho victim of an error on the pari of tho servant. I desired her to bring me a 'fat man*—meaning some one to remove tho waste of tho kitchen— and eho, thinking my words implied what thejr literally expressed, has brought you' I regret ’ But Blake waited to hear no more.

Those who hovo followed this practice, have found it productive of wonderful snv. mg, not only in (ho increased amount of cream (hat rises, but in the facility with which the orenm is changed to butter while churning. The mode of Scalding it is to sot the pan, as noon as strained, on (ho stuvo, und let it heal until a bubble or two rises to tho surface by (ho boat —then eel it away. This should be done both summer end winter, es It causes the cream to rise more completely, and prevents (ho milk from souring so soon as it otherwise would. Mr. VVrn. P. Fogg has given some valuable know!* edge on the chemical properties of milk and bn (tor, which every dutyman or woman should read.

They will advance rapidly the first season, nud very olleu produce grapes the next. No fermentable manure should bo allowed. The best vllmulous (hat can be applied, is cotnpo-il formed of forest leaves nrd scra pings, with old plaster, gypiutn, and well dccompoi od animal excrement, from tho stables and cattle yards. Mulching, or covering tho surface with a stratum of straw or tanner's lurk, will have a ton. donoy to keep tho soil moist, and to prevent tho growth of weeds. CyansNTs—Those who cannot conveniently ob tain hushes, may easily procure qntlings, and these, by the next year will bo as valuable, or even more so, than the former. Good anil is requisite in order lo secure a thrifty and good plantation, and no spu rious vegetation should bo allowed lo infest the beds ul any season. To prevent this, it is a good plan to set the cuttings in double rows, say about six incites apart, nnd from eight to ten inches in the row, and cover the interstitial apace with straw. This will effectually obviate the unploisiml consequences re sulting both from drought, by arresting the ascent nf moisture, and its evaporation, and tho germination of seeds, which il will smo her and doslroy. And here it may bo observed, that in transplanting all descriptions of vines, plants and hushes, whether merely ornamental or Iruilifuiious, mulching with some appropriate material, ought never to bo ne glected. Slruv.Jnr tanner’s bark, nr dry loaves from tho forest, answer well for this purpose. Gooseber ries may also bo propagated in this manner, and (o any extent desired. Those who have soil for tho purpose, ought hy no moans to neglect their culti vation. The fruit is valuable. Gooseberry bushes should not bo allowed to make too much now wood. Closeness in the tops often promote, il it dues not produce disease. If you have new bushes to sot oul, select a plane fur them where they will have the advantage of a free circulation of air, and not bo in tho shade. Tho frequent applica tion of salt about (ho roots, has been found very advantageous lo (his species of shrub—coualng it to fruit well and illicitly, and acting as a preventative of ilia mould or mildew. Raspberry and Blackberry bushes are to be manu red with a compost of forest mould, muck, and houso ashes, during the first two veers after (hoy are trans planted. The soil should bo kept light and mellow, and above nil, free from the polullon of weeds. Ex cessive pruning should bo avoided. If (ho shnots run high, which they generally will when good varieties and sat in n rich soil, you will do well to supply them with supporters. Asparagus beds require attention,and (o bo profit able, should bo frequently stimulated by the applica tion pf salt.
