-Such love cannot debase.

Soon fade 'midst shadowy strife ;
But love the power that made-
All that to man is given—
Whose spirit doth pervade

DlSCONTENT.—Discontent is a sin that
is its own punishment, arid makes 'men
torment themselves; it makes the spirit

in prison—A hah was discontented in a
palace : he had all the delights of Canaan,
that pleasant land, the wealth of a king
dotn, the pleasure of a court, the honors
and powers of a throne ; yet all this avails
liitn nothing without Naboth's vinevard.
Inordinate desire exposes men to continual

WHO WILL MARK A uooo WIFE. —
W hen you see a young woman, who rises
early. sets the table and prepares her fath
er s breakfast cheerfully—depend upon it
sue will make a good wife. \ou mav re
ly upon it that she possesses a good dispo
sition and a kind heart.
W hen you see a young woman just out
of bid at nine o'clock, leaning with her
elbow upon the table, gaping and sighing,
Oh dear, how dreadful 1 feel"—relv up
on i( sh. will not make a good wife. She
must be lazy and mopish.
When you see a girl with a broom in
her hand, sweeping the floor, or with a
rubbing board or a clothes line in her hand,
you may put it down that she is industri
ous and will make a good wife for some
bod v.
W hen you see a girl with a novel in her
lett hand and a fan in her right, shedding

I lit l. W onus.— W hen a man of sense,
no matter how humble his origin, or de- I
graded Ins occupation may appear in the
eyes of the vain andlopish, is treated with
contempt, he will soon forget it ; but he
will be sure to pm forth the energies of
lus mind to raise him above those who
look, down in scorn upon hiin. By shun
ning ilte mechanic, we exert an influence
.derogatory to honest labor, and make it
unfashionable tor \ oung men to learn
trades, or labor lor a support. Did our
\ oung women realize that for all they pos
sess they are indebted to the mechanic, it
would be their desire to elevate him. and
to encourage his visits to their society,
while they would treat with scorn the la
zy, die fusiuoiiablc, the sponger, and the
well-dressed pauper. On looking back a
lew years, our most fastidious ladies can
trace their genealogy from some humble
mechanics, who perhaps, in their day were
sneered at by the proud and foolish, while
their grandmothers gladly received litem
to their bosoms.—Jo/iu S'eaJ.

plainly on the subject:—" Any man that
will sell seven loet of wood for a cord, is

MANAGING OF ANIMAI.S. — Li I; caking
or tad/)'.:; uig a horsv, however imrae titbit
or .-tuhborn his temper may be, preserve
your own. Almost every fault of the
brute from ignorance. Be patient
with him, teach and coax him, rind success
in time, is certain. There are tricks, how
ever. which are the results of confirmed
habit or viciousne.-s, and these sometimes
require a different treatment. A itorse ac
customed to starting and running away.
may be effectually cured by putting him to
the top of ills speed on such occasion®,
and running him till pretty thoroughly ex
hausted.
Sow IN U I\i> i\ \ ( OR\ FOR FODDER. —
W c cannot too olten remind our reader of
the great advantage of sowing corn for
green iodder, where it is valuable, which
is always the case in the vicinity of citiea
and the larger class of towns. By com
mencing the sowing tiic latter part of tbi-*
month, and continuing the operation each
successive week or ten days tih August, a
constant supply of choice food wili he se
cured during the remainder of the season,
when it w ill be most wanted. The natu
ral grasses of the pastures, when close! v
fed, begin to give out in July; and if the
season prove dry, they frequently continue
short for several months. A comparative
ly small quantity of land, richly supplied
vv ith manure, finely prepared and culti
vated. w ill yield an immense quantity of
sweet, niKritous lodder during this time of
of drouth. From the experience of our
best dairy men. an acre of corn, thus culti
vated, will supply ample food for four
cows during three months. It m<y be fed
from racks or mangers in the yard, or in
the stables, i! they are not vvaun ; or, ii
may be scattered from a cart upon the
ground, after which the cattle may be ad
mitted. where they will devour the whole
—stalks as well as the blades.
Jf the fodder he wilted a few hours in
the sun. previous to giving it to the ani
mals. it is believed to be more w holesorae
and less likely to produce hoven, or wind
HI the bowels, than when given to them
green.
To PRESERVE HAMS IHSOICIH THE SIM
MER. —Make a number of common cotton
bags, a little larger than your hams; after
the hams ate well smoked, place them in
the bags; then get the very best kind of
sweet, well-made hay, cut it with a knife,
and with A our hands press it well around
the hams in the bags ; tie the bags with
good strings, put on a card of the year to
show their age. and hang them up in the
garret or some dry room, and thev will
hang five years, and will be better for boil
ing than on the day you put them up.
This method costs but little, as the bags
will last for years. No fiies or bugs wilt
trouble the hams if the hay is well pressed
around them, the sweating of the hams
will be taken up by the hay, end the hay

THE TOPE AND THE JEWS. —The Eter
nal Citv is in a very curious position.
The Pope ha* returned to his ancestral
i home : but he has nothing in his pocket,
. and Ro.- scittld refuses to leave hen have
any more money. A thousand vears ago
or even later, the boot would hve It-sen "on
the other leg—the Jew would have been
put into prison, have had experience in th
tender mercies of tne Inquisition, and
; would have been made to launch out his
silver and gold. All the powers of Chris
tendom would have been hi the sumo posi
tion. To-d.u is very different. The
I Father of Holiness is t::e dependent of the
Jew, and Rothschild is the real Pope and
boss of all Europe. What a revolution 1
What an awful revolution !
The singular fact of the establishment
of a republic in Rome for a single clay, or
a single month, shows what a mightv rev
olution has been wrought throughout Eu
rope, in the lust half century. Five hun
dred years ago, the Pope could not have
lost dignity and supremacy, by running
away for a single hour, from the Eternal
City. All the running would be on the
part of the persecuted Jews. Trie people
would have thought that the day of jud
im-nt had coine, that they had heard in th -
la-t thunder storm the trump of the arch
angel, and that he was earning through the
clouds, sooner than they would nave be
heved that the sacred Pontiff could leave
the home and heaven of hi? power. A
thunder storm at that period, and under
such circumstances, would have seemed
the rolling of the heavens together as a
scroll. To-day, however, a different state
of mind exists. The infallibility of the
Pope has gone forever, even ty Rome.
The great mystery is dissolved.-so far as
the Eternal City is concerned—and a thun
| der storm only stops the news over
j wires for a few hours.— \< u> York iI? raid
