HYMN FOB MAY.
BY PABK BEWJAJIIir.
It ia the spring, the soft delicious spring,
Wreathing a garland of just-budding flowers,
Stirring the young leaves with her tender wing,
And making green the paths to forest-bowers,
W hose smiles, I see, such perfect beauty fling '
Along the track of Life’s swift-gliding hours
Her breath falls freshly on the groatful earth,
And lo ! what joys and loveliness have birth!
The fields put on their verdure ; the small rills
Dance merrily along with shout and glee ;
The sloping woodlands, the uprising hills,
Blue vale, gray rock, brown bush und emorald
tree, .
Taste the sweet influence which th« air instils;
White snow-clouds in Heaven’s .unruffled sea,
On their bright voyage from shore to shore,
Like angel ships majestic sail and soar.
The icy gales of winter, that long sealed
The mirth of fountains and the play of etrenmß,
Are lulled at last, and now to light revealed, <
Like brilliant insects flash their jpwel gleams ;
The frozen, wounded land, is gently pealed
By Morn’s and Eve’s alternate showers and
beams,
And waves, unbroken into spray and foam,
Roll, melt or slumber in their ocean liomt.
Welcome! thrice welcome! favorite of the,year ;
“Ethereal mildness,” hail I though loftier lyres
May wake their music, and in tones more'clear
And sweet than those my humble Muse inspires,
Hymn thy perfection, thou wilt deign to hear
The thrilling gratitude my heart desires
To pour to thee in this unheeded lay,
For all thy gifts, thou soft, delicious May !
i A California Bride.
A Skbtch Fbom Life.
Some months past, an advocate's clerk, placed in
one of the first offices of Paris, and well esteemed
by his employer, despairing of raising the means
sufficient to purchase a study, undertook the adven
turous risk of attempting to make a fortune in the
new El Dorado.
• “Now,” quoth he, “I have no longer need to
marry an heiress, 5- and he addressed a young milli
ner upon whom he had cast glances of affection for
some time back. “ Now-you see me despoiled of
all conjugal ambition; I will marry you willingly,
could you prevail upon-yourself to venture upon the
hazard of the journey?” ;
u I accept,” responded the milliner, with an in
trepidity belonging to her social intuition. .
It was arranged that the young clerk, who had
already secured his passage on a vessel about to sail,
should start forthwith, and the joung woman should
follow him as soon.as she collected her debts due
and make a package of her worldly wealth. She
thus avoided the embarrassment of a new establish- |
ment in an unknown country, and'on her arrival, i
would be received by her future husband and in
stalled in a ready furnished lodging.
The young clerk then departed s in advance, the
voyage was prosperous: the deserter frum the no
tarv’s office, contracted in resources, but filled with ;
abundant expectations, landed on the California shore
The greater part of his illusions were quickly :
dispelled. He discovered the opulent country al
ready cleaned out; that all the gold laying on the
surface of the earth and concealed beneath the
chrysial waters of the streams, had # disappeared;
that the thousands of adventures who “had enriched
themselves have left their successors a difficult
means of support. There still remained treasures
in California; great fortunes could be made in course
of tirre; there, like elsewhere, tfcio rich gained
most, and those possessing stiver reaped a harvest
of gold. _
One of the richest settlers arrived among the first
in California, discovered to the new cbmer the con
dition of the country. * 6
“It requires twelve years of hard labor to acquire
one quarter of what I have amassed in the first six.
months from my arrival in this country. Thanks
to a lucky commencement, my business arrange
ments progress royally, and nothing is lacking to
comp ete my happiness but a woman, acornpanion,
.a wile 1” ' , .
“ I dully expect one to arrive, replied the ex
clerk, who started in affright at this new-subject of
expen >o in a country where every thing is already
100
. 11 You are indued blessed,” responded tho Califor
nia nabob. *
A low days offer tho milliner arrived; tho nabob,
.who was present at tho disembarkation, drew tho
fix-clerk aside, and said to him—“ What will you
lake to let me got married in your place?” /
“ You aro doubtless joking ”
'“Not at all. First listen to me and have the
goodness to answer me. How much do you calcu
late to earn in this'country? At .what figuro do
you set down a fortune?” .
“ I always thought that about ten thousand francs
a year would suffice to create my happiness. Ten
r thousand francs a year—that's the extent of my
imagination 1” j
“ I’ll give it to you.”
“What say you?”- exclaimed the bewildered stu
dent.
“I,” resumed the nabob, “already have some mill
ions, and I still desire more. Two hundred thous
and francs are a mere trifle, and I am charmed to
purchase a wife at such a price. You on your part
will see your expectations realized, you can return
to Paris, where you can find a number of damsels
to take your pick from ”
“ Yes, but my bride ll ”
“ She will- accept,” responded the C alifornia na--
bob, with an air oNuperiority, the fact of his being
the Crcesus of the country gave him.
In fact milliner the acceded to the proposition.
The-ex-clerk returned to Paris last month, he gave a
sumptuous banquet to his ancient companions of the
law to celebrate his happy consummation of fortune
on a-.voyage to California.
Have A Trade.
By all means have a trade. Don’t go up and
down in the world, and find nothing you can put
your handsto. No matter it you don’t have to
work for a living. You may not always be pros
perous like you are now. This is a mutating plan
et Thank heaven, we live in no primogeniture, no
hereditary succession. Each man is morally bound
to labor.
Have a trade, we repeat Educate your hands.
. The man that is up to-dajrmay be down to-morrow.
Have something you can turn your energies to
when times pinch. Be an everlasting re
source. We never knew a man who, with a good
trade, could not get a good living, and much more
with a right application. What though you are
going to college, or into a professsionl The case
is not altered. You need it just as much. It will
come-in play every day of your-.life. It is so much
the better. Discipline of the hand should always
go before that of the head..' .We never knew a.col
lege boy who wasn’t better for a substantial trade.
He always graduates with the highest honors.. He
is sure to be a scholar. The 6tory is he knows how
to work—to pore—to conquer. .He but transfers
himself from tfee shop to the study.
Young men, decide at once to learn, a trade.—
Apply yourself with all ypur mind and heart, and
be its master. And wh<2ji you graduate and ask
your diploma, if you do not want, or are not obli
ged to; : work, at it, you have laid by so much, and
such a s kind of wealm can never be lost or taken
from you.

OWE OF IHE SSAKE STOBHEB.
Near fifty years have past since l was first lies d
to cry—many changes have come over society
since that time. Twenty five years ago it was not
thought amiss to play a little innocent melt jor
your own amusement on others. N<? one • du. ben
.you with the epithet of- wag,” or thought you *hn
the road to Jruin but he who c.ou!d bring the
greatest fund of amusement,- to the circle in
he moved, was ever considered a good fellow, lfre
elder portion of-society would say ‘‘he is a smart ,
fellow, and if he lives, will make a great man. j-
The order of the day was to “laugh and grow tat
, be happy yourself, and make all arouad you
In musing o'er my young, days, not long since,
for something to amuse me, I found myself in yie
midst of a “ trick ” I played a young room mate
of mine. He was a lawyer by profession, talented,
and occupied a very high position at the bar-j-of
fine personal appearance, and noted for his inoral
and physical courage—but he was awfully afriid
of snakes. Whenever he went about in “ snake
times,” he waß ever looking out for them. Qur
room was on the second ’floor in the tavern, having -
a floset in it-i-we slept together. When sleeping
hour came be would strip to his linen, fall iq>a.nd
having an easy conscience, would soon be fast
asleep; he, always -slept behind. i
One day, as I passed through the back yardHo
the tavern, I saw old aunt Molly cleaning the
bowels of a pig. Knowing Is snakes,
I told aunt Molly, that I would-give her a hall
dollar if she would clean about three or four
of small bowels, tie it tight at one end, and having
blown it full of wind, tie it at the other end, then
take it to my room and place if in a pan.of water,
and put it in the closet. „ j
« You must say. nothing about it, aunt Molly I
“Oh f no, Massa, not a word.” I handed her the
half dollar,"and passed on. I
On my return to my room, I looked into the
closet and found all deposited by aunt Molly ;as
directed, safe and sound. Night came on, and tfie
usual bed hour found I in bed, and fast asleep.
£ undressed, went to the closet, took out the gjut
Irom the pan—finding it very elastic, and bearing
much of the serpentine motion of the snake. I
went to bed with it in my hand, and drew the sheet
over us. I commenced giving I—— my first les
son in the way of “ snake crawling,” by passing
the bowel on his leg. I felt its convulsive motijm
and withdrew it, for I desired net to arouse him too
suddenly, butby frequent and slight touches to ejet
him to dreaming about snakes. On the second
application he kicked—l now desisted awhile, and
concluded that I had aroused the nervousness ,of
that leg so much that I would try the other, jit
was evident, from his moaning, that “hn spirits
were moved.” I now applied it to the other leg,
and no sooner had it touched it, than he a
tremendous kick and snorted. I now became fear
ful that he would awake, and at once applied it to
his back, giving it all the serpentine motion possi
ble. With one convulsive bound, he cleared tie
bed, carrying the sheet with him, and bawling it
the top of his voice; “ Snakes ! snakes I snakes!”
“ Where ?” said I. j
“In that bed, you d n fool—get out, or you
are a dead man!” - I
Out I jumped, and requested him to run down
and light a candle, (matches not then in use.) Off
he went at-the. top of his speed, clearing several;
steps at each bound By the time he I
had deposited the “ instrument oi torture safe jin
the paiLot water in the closet, and shut the door.
He retiu-ned with the candle, and examined every
part of Ihe room, but could find no Bnake. I per
suaded him that he was dreaming, adding that
dreams were as bad as realities. This satisfied
him, and he returned to bed. j
It was some time before he could sleep, and
when he did, was quite restless. I could no: move
but that he would kick.. At last he went freply
into the arms of the sweet “ restorer,” an 1 slept
soundly. I silently repaired to the closet —ob-
tained my gut, and returned to bed. He was on
his back, stretched full length with his leg 3 close
together. I comtirienced ray operations by f assing )
the bowel up between his legs. He suddenly threw
his head and knees almost together, no part touch
ing the bed but a small portion of his batk-j-he.
then landed in the middle of the floor on his hands
on’d knees, shouting,— 11 Again ! again ! again I'Mand
down he bolted forfanother candle.
Before his return, the bowel was replaced in| the
closet, the door shut, and I standing on the f.oor.—
He examined the bed, but his actions showed jthat
he was alraid to touch it. He then examinee every,
part of the room, 1 but no snake was to be found.—
As he approached the closet, and put his hanjl on
the bolt of the door, he observed that it [was
t> n strange, 1 ’ and opend the_door. He looked
in, and then turning bis dark fierceeyeonme, qgain
eyed the contents of the pail in the closet, j He
then turned to me, grinding his teeth together, his
face almost lied in a knot, ami his eyes darting fire.
I felt condemned and absolutely alarmed. ,1 knew
that unless 1 could give another direction, to his
feelings, I bhould soon be knocked down, bit and
gouged, (biting and gouging were all the Irage
those days.) So soon as he could open his rmulh,
there fell upon me a storm of imprecations, he
looking like the devil, and I trying to apnetjr ns
innocent as n lamb. My mind was busy about an
expediment. When ho was about to lean
me, I said; smiling,'and-in a gentle tone, “ Wj
is sleeping in iho other room, let us huve sotnb fun
out of him I” Ho caught- the idea, anif in nil in
stant was harmless. !
He observed, “ how 1 M * • |
I replied, “he sleeps soundly, and is hard to
wake. You hold up his head, and I will tio' the
bowel cravat lunhion in a hard knot around his
neck. You then go down, wako up the bar keepeV,
and stay there. I will get under the bed, on| my
hands and feet, and with my back keep pushing up
until he awakes.”
“ That will do,” said he, “ come on!”
This W— was a large, fat, fun loving creature,
weighing about- 250 pounds. We passed on to
W/s room, and had no difficulty in arranging the
bowel around his neck. - I went down to the
bar room, and I under the bed. I hunched, aijd he
snored —I still hunched, but he still snored on with
a snort. At length he snored milder and milder,
under the frequent hunchings, and at last aliens
quiet tor a moment. He landed out of the bed
with a force that shook the building from top to
bottom. To say he ran down stairs would be
wrong, for he rooted, he tumbled down. I was
close after him. He rushed in the bar room, yel
ling “ help! help ! for God’s sake, help 1” [
As he entered, I—- asked what was the majtter?
«i : ve got the gondest snake around my you
ever saw, and I’ve got him by the head,” said he
holding-the knot of the bowel-tightly grasped in
his hand.* I told him to let go, and that he would
run away. “ I'll be sneezed if I ever let go this
holt, he will bite then to a certainty.”
After enjoying ourselves with him for some
time, the bar keeper, at W.’s suggestion, took a
knife went behind W and passing the knife
l between, his neck and the supposed . snake, cpt it
t asunder. No one can imagine W.’s surprise,
> he saw what was in his hand. At last he broke
■ into a hearty faugh, saying, “ Well, boys, I njever
•, was so scared in my life ” |
>' We all then enjoyed it, and the story supplied
1 the villagers with food for laughter for some, time;

CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY «, 1851.
JESSIE m I.
BY JOHN CX.AKKZ; THE PEASANT POET.
It’s just upon tho eve ef May,
The shooting blades ol com
Are hung with dew at early day,
And green the hedge-row thorn.
But those with me have nought to charm.
Though such was all to me,
When roaming round the lonely farm
W here Jessie used to be;.
For there beneath the wood’s dark hr >w
Pro loTcd—and cannot leave her now.
Without her, life seems all alone |
, I scarce can bear its noiie
My heart feel* heavy as a stone,
And lock* up fancy’s joys.
The sun; looks from the happy sky
On the fields of wheat and corn;
The skylark meets the light on high,
And singing wakes the morn j
. Beside the thorn and woodland bough
\ I’ve loved—and cannot leave her now,
We met on such a morn as this,
. The sun looked o’er the hill»
But years have crept ’tween that and this
And I love Jessie still.
The cows had found a snug retreat
Among the sweet green corn ;
I never found a morn so sweet
Since first love’s hope was born ;
We loved between the white thorn bough,
So true —I cannot leave her now.
A Letter to Country Clriu. ,
BY MRS. SWISSHKLM.
Dear Girls: It is a long time since I have writ
ten to you, and all this time you have been making
your dresses just as you used to do, with a long
seam under the arm. Now, it is not straight but in
the form of an inclined plane, or what the carpen
ters call a bevel, and pressing your sides in . the
shape of a tunnel. Yon have all heard about the
Greek Slave, and know it is a marble statue, to
show a most perfect and beautiful form, and I wish
you could all see it. The outsidei of the sides are
two hollow curves, as graceful as the undulation
between two waves, or the bend in a willow wand.
Every one has a shape more or less like this ac
cordingly as is more or less beautiful, graceful
and natural; is it not singular that dfter.the Creator
has given you .a form of beauty—or undulating out
lines and graceful sweeping curves, you should set
yourselves into sharp angles, and straight stiff out
lines, with n'o more pretensions to grace than the
sides of a duich churn? This you nearly all do,
and you do it by the shape of that under the arm.
You sew it in a regular slope from the .arm pit
to the bottom ol your waist, and that as long as it
can possibly be made. This makes the smallest
• part of your body below the ribs—that is, you
squeeze the muscles and flesh where there are no
bones to resist the force, and so crowd the liver
\hat it cannot act; and you grow yellow, bilious,
nervous —ugly as sin, even in your laces. It is
very strange that you can be so foolish—that any
one can deliberately ruin their health for "he priv
ilege of looking ugly. It does make me nervous
to see a woman on the street with this tight place
below her ribs, and her wagging like the limbs of
a supple jack!
I have grown so perfectly disgusted with this
way pf making dresses, by seeing .great, ugly, ig
norant, vulgar girls waddling among the and
wash tubs, with their apron strings drawr around
below their ribs, and tied until they looked like a
bag lied with a cord in the centre. It is very
strange that one driving pretensions to gentility—
to say nothing of good sense—would be caught
dressed in a way that .proclaims to every one her
ignorance of-the la ws? of physiology —of the rules
of grace and symmetry of Greece and Rome. I
never see a woman dressed so, but the thought is ?
“Wonder,, if that woman; can lt is a sign
of ignorance, and nothing else can be urged in ex
; tenuation of such folly.
Slow to tircat a Wife,
First, get a wife; secondly, be patient; You may
have great trials and perplexities in your business
with the world, but do not therefore carry to your
home a clouded or contracted brow. Your wife
may have many trials, which, though of loss mag
nitude, may hhve been as hard to bear. A kind,
conciliating Word, a tender look, will do wonders
in chasing from her brow all clouds of gloom. You
encounter your difficulties in the open air, fanned
by heaven’s cool breezes; but your wife is oflen
shut in from these healthful influences, and her
health fails, and her spirits lose their elasticity. —
But oh! bear with her; she has trials and sorrow
to which yo,u are a stranger, but which your ten
derness can deprive of all their anguish. Notice
kindly her little attentions and efforts to promote
your comfort. Do not take them all as a matter
of course, and pass them by, at the same lime be
ing very sure to observe any omission of what you
may consider duty to you. Do not treat her with
indifference, if you would not seer and palsy her
heart, which, watered by kindness, would to the
latest day of your existence, throb with sincere and
constant affection. Sometimes yield your wishes
to hers. She has preferences as strong as you, and
it may be just as trying to yield her choice as to
you. Do you find it hard to yield sometimes?—
Think you it in not difficult for her to give up al
ways? If you never yield to her wishes, thero is
dunger that she will think you ure selfish, ami care
only lor yourself: and with such feelings she can
not love ns she might. Agniu, show yourself manly
ho that your wife cun look up to you, and loci that,
you will act nobly, and that sho can confide in
your judgment,— lJomc Journal 1
A Lesson For Cili’lH.
An intelligent gentleman of fortune, says the
Bangor Whig, ‘visited a country village in Maine,
not tar from Bangor, and was hospitably entertain
ed and lodged by a gentleman having three daugh
ters —two of whom, in rich dresses, entertained the
distinguished stranger in the pallor, while one kept
herself in the kitchen, assisting her mother in pre
paring the food and setting the table for tea, find
after supper, ip doing the work till it was finally
completed, when she also joined her sisters in the
pailor for the remainder ot the evening. The next
morning the same daughter was again early in the
kitchen, while the other two were in the parlor.—
The gentleman, like Franklin, possessed a discrim
nating mind—was a close observer ot the habits of
young ladies—watched an opportunity and whis
pered something in the ear of the industrious one,
and then left for a time, but revisited the same
family, and-in about one year the young lady of the
kitchen was conveyed to Boston, the ..wife of the
same gentleman visitor, where she now presides at
an elegant mansion. The gentleman, whose fortune
she. shares, she won by a judiejous deportment and.
well-directed industry. So much for an industrious
young lady.
Great Discovert. —The English Railway 1
Times has the following:
The of water has at length been
obtained, and that at a merely nominal cost, and
with unerring precision. This great discovery, or
iginating in Ameriga, has been perfected by the ex
periments of an eminent German chemist, and pat
ented in the three kingdoms by Mr. Shepard. The
carbroetted hydrogen may be formed to any extent,
which, while possessing an illuminating power
equal to that of coal gas, is capable of being itself
applied to the same purposes as steam at a remark
ably high pressure. This gas is also capable oi
[ producing an amount ol caloric equal to that of
live coal, and consequently well and cheaply fitted
to .act as a combustible agent in the conversion of
'* water into steam. This tremendous pov.-er has
3 > been for some time engaging the' attention of our
e > most eminent engineers, and. will, when sufficiently
tested, be experimented upon before the public. If
successful, as there is every present appearance of
™ its being, the revolution it must effect in the econ
omic working 'of railways, and indeed in every
branch of trade* and manufacture where steam is
im employed as a motive power, is altogether incalcu
“a table. It almost opens to the wandering-gaze the
U.topian vista in which unskilled manual labor
shadl be no longer necessary. It is sufficient for us,
however, to state that several ol the leading railway
,y companies are in treaty with the patentee, and that,
g. consequently,, if anything whatever is capable of
• being made out of the discovery, the railway inter
\t esjt will possess at once the first benefit and chief
honor in itr realization.
Early Life of Bishop Hughes.
A Washington correspondent of the New York
Son, writes as follows $ the eminent divine whose
name heads this article:
have recently brought to my
knowledge facts connected with the former times
of Archbishop Hughes, which going strong to il
lustrate the lorce of fils character, can hardly fail
to interest the general reader. A distinguished
ger.tleman, now in this city, distinctly recollects
when this celebrated, learned and powerful Divine,
supported not only himself, but an aged .parent by
sodding, planting and trimming gardens, in Cham
bersburg, Pa, He has often seen him
barrow, with rake and spade, from dwelling to
dwelling, when engaged in this work, for which
he was usually paid fifty cents per diem. John
Hughes was one of the best Latin 'and Greek lin
guists in America, when just entering upon man
hood. Subsequently, he made,his'way to Emmits-'
burg, Md., and entered into the service of the cele
brated Jesuits’ College there as a grower of cab
bages ! The institution, according to th‘e custom
with the Roman Catholic Colleges in this country,
has a highly cultivated small farm attached to it,
and Hughes being employed as a laborer upon it,
was placed in charge of the cabbage beds. On one
occasion, seeing one of the lads of the Institution,
puzzling over his* task in Cicero, Hughes requested
him to let him look at the book, and asking him 1
to explain the meaning of a paragraph, to the as
tonishment of the youth corrected hia reading.—
He also disclosed to the boy in the same way the
fact that he was a proficient, in Greek. Shortly';
afterwards, the boy stumped -on a lesson in Homer,,
repaired to the garden and procured a translation,
which when offered as his own, satisfied his tutor
by the elegance and perfect correctness with which
it was rendered into English, that it was not the.
work of the boy. The latter was then questioned
as to who had helped him on in the lesson, and
surprised all by declaring that it was u only Johnny,
the gardener lad.” Hughes was instantly summon
ed before the faculty, who were incredulous as to
the truth of the pupil’s story. A Prefect under
took to examine him, when it turned out that he
was by far the best Greek and Latin scholar in the
Institution. With the capital judgment of those
who manage the affairs of the Jesuits everywhere,
John Hughes was instantly made to exchange his
cabbage for the humanities, and at once became a
tutor in the Institution.
u This was .’the commencemenf of the super
structure of his fortune and fame, the foundation
being his native intellect and his energy, industry
and probity, from his earliest infancy. He soon
became the leading spirit, where he remained until
his fame spreading through the country, his church
authorities called him to labor in, the wider and
more important field of the world. There are
lessons in these extracts from the history of John
Hughes, which youth everywhere may treasure in
memory to its great future advantage]”
Last Words of the Presidents.
When Washington was 67 years old he laid
uphn his death bed. “ I find lam dying,” said he;
u my breath cannot last long.” And again ; “ Doctor,
I die hard, but I am not afraid to go ; I. believed,
from my first attack, I should not survive it ;-my
breath cannot last long.” And so he ceased to
breathe.
More than a quarter of a century elapsed before
a simitar scene was witnessed. Then, on the same
day, the jubilee of the nation, Adams, at 90 years
of age, and Jefferson at 83, came down to their
last hour. I resign myself to God,” said Jeffer
son, and my child to my country.” Soon after
Adams exclaimed, “ Independence forever!” and
all was over. They, too, had ceased to breathe.
Five years .after this, at 71 years of age, Monroe
ceased to breathe.
'Five years after this, af 85 years of age, Madi
son ceased to breathe.
Nearly five years after this, at 68 years of age,
Harrison remarked : “ Sir, I wish you to understand
the true principles of the Government; I wish them
carried out; I ask nothing more.” And he ceased
to breathe. •
Four years after this, at 78 years of age, Jack
son observed, in substance: “ My sufferings..though
great, are nothing in comparison with those of my
dying Saviour, through whose death I look for ever
lasting happiness,” and he ceasqd to breathe.
- In less than three years after this, at S 7 years of
age, the second Adams declared : “ This is the last

PaKBEnYiNG Cohn most Worms. —ln the spring
of 1847, we plowed up one acre in a corner of u
six acre meadow, which had been several in
gi;ass, and the whole of which was much infested
with cut worms and the yellow wipe worm. The
acre was planted with corn, and totally destroyed
by the wormß. Late the ensuing fall, the whole
field was manured and turned over smoothly; f the
spring of 1848 the whole was bowii with barley,
which was very much injured by the worms—in
many places entiraly destroyed. In September, it
was sown with wheat with thosamu result ns with
the barley. In tho spring of we manured it
well with fresh barn yard immure, turned under;
hurrowed ami marked throe feet and a half apart
by two and a half and planted corn, four grains in
a hill, the first of June, It came up in five to seven
days, and is now a very promising piece, ns forward
ns any planted the middle of May,
The seed was soaked in a decoction of pound
of tobacco in four gallons of water. There were
plenty of worms in the ground, ns I found in plant
ing and hoeing ; but they would not touch the to
bacco scented corn, while there war not a single
weed to be found;; and indeed they did no small
benefit in destroying the grass- and weeds, j The
field was kept as clean of everything but corn as it
well could be. At the first hoeing I observed a
large mullen plant, the leaves of which were eaten
through like a riddle, and upon digging around it I
found over twenty cut worms. —Albany Cultivator
A FRAGMENT. j
The storm was widening darkly o’er the akyj
And terribly. The deep blue fields of space^
The glistening stars that for brief while before,
Had hung o’er earth in beauty, pure, untainted
A* angels’ joys, were veiled j' gloom unredeemed
Fell thick o’er all below, and yet above, —
Far, far above the clouds —that calm bright scene
Unchanged, unchangeable, still stretched away
In distance dim. Methought ’twas like the smile—
The approving, smile of God, that still the same
Hovers above the good man’s path, thdugh storms,
Wild storms of dark adversity, and clouds
Of unrelenting fate, should round him close
And for an instant hide its soothing beam. H. E.
Tub SusauxaiwiVA Raileoad.— The bill which
finally passed the Legislature, ipcorporating the
Susquehanna Railroad Company, to construct a
railroad irom Harrisburg, or the .point of intersec
tion of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Susquehanna
river, was that originally introduced by Gen. Pack,
er. In speaking of the enterprise, the Sunbwy
American says:
u The people of the Susquehanna are resolved to
have a railroad up the valley of their noble j river,
which will not only connect with the New! York
and Erie Railroad at Elmira, but will be 'carried
up the West Branch, and from thence to Erie.—
We understand that a sura nearly sufficient to build
the road from Harrisburg to Sunbury, is ready for
the work.” ;
The’bill contains authority for the company to
build on either side of the,Susquehanna—the House
amendments limiting it to the east side being re
jected by the Senate, and .the House receding
therefrom. The final voto on it iu the Senate was
23 to 3.

NO other Medicine has ever been introduced to
the public that has met with such unparalelled
juccess, as Dr. Soule’s Oriental Balm Pills.—*•
Having been but six years before the public, and
the advertising small when compared with most
other medicines, yet they have worked their way
nto every State in the Union nnd Canadas. They
have absolutely become the standard Medicine of
the day. They are purely vegetable and so admi
rably compounded that when taken in large dose*
they speedily cure acute diseases, and when taken
in small doses they operate like a charm, upon the
most delicate, nervous female, and have raised
numbers from their beds when all other remedies
had failed. We here refer to but a few of the many
miraculous cures effected by the use of said Pills.-
Spinal Affection. —Anna Wood, of Rutland,
Jefferson county, N. Y., Was cured, after she had
been confined to bed 5 years, with Spinal disease
and Abscess of the Lungs. The bill ofher regular
Physician (Dr. Johnson, of Clay,) had amounted to
‘.5600. See circular. _
Scrofula and Nervous Debility.— Mrs.Down,
of Clay, N. Y., was cured of Dyspepsia, Nervous
Debility, and Scrofulous affection of the head, after
tihe had* been confined six months and all other
medicines had failed.
Couoii and Consumption Cured. —Wm. Bentiy,
of Pickering, C. W., was cured of a severe cough
i.fter he had been confined to his bed for a long
time, and was given up by the Physicians. He had
I'scd most of the cough medicines of tho day, and
was supposed by his frie'hds and physicians to be
ia the last stage of Consumption.
Dyspepsia.— A. B. F. Ormsby, of Syracuse, N.
Y., was cured of Dyspepsia, so severe as not to be
able to work for two years.
Wm. Smith, of Greenwich, Conn., was cured o!
s severe case of Dyspepsia, Costivencss and Nervous
Debility, of years standing, after expending large
Bums.of money to no purpose. See circular.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS.
As there are spurious Pills in circulation called
Oriental or Sovereign Balm, be Bure to see before
