' TiMe to Cut Timber, &c. the Weekly Sun of the 27th of March, an in quiiy is made by a correspondent, of Jacksonville, to know which is the proper time of the year to Cut timber, to last the longest, and which end of the post should be set in the ground, the way or reverse way it grew. In reply to the inquiry, I will contribute my experience and information on thel subject. I commenced millwrighting in May, 1829, and continued at the business until is4r). During the tiMe, or in fact from 1817 until the present time,l haute l noted the season of the year when timber was felled, its kind, quality, the soil it grew on, and its dinkbility, when exposed to wet and dry. I also, dulling the time, made all the inquiry I possibly could, of the aged and experienced. My informa tion and experience is at your disposal for the ben efit) of your correspondent. 4 assisted in felling, putting in, and taking out, after they were decayed, i 5 whito oak and swamp °all mill-shafts. Seven of them were old, sound tre e s, with the annual rings or grains small. They were felled in the winter season; average durabili ty 6) years. Eight were of young; sound trees, of a (luick growth ; the annual rings or grains larger; 5 were felled in February, 3 in the summer. Av eMge durability of those felled in February, 12 years. Average durability of, those felled in the summer, 8 years. I could discover no difference in 'he quality of the timber or the soil they grew on. The balance were of trees decayed either at the top or bottom. The decayed parts were taken oft Average durability it years. Seventeen forebays, or trunks, were pat in, and taken out after decayed, during the time. Three we're of seasoned timber, of old sound white oak trees felled in February. Average durability 21 years. Two were of sound young rock oak timber, fetid in March and April. Average durability 12 years: Five were of old sound white oak timber, felled in the summer. Average durability, 19 years. Six were of young white oak timber—the timber of [3 wet e cut in thekinter and 3 in the summer. 'Plose felled in the winter decayed in 9 years; those felled in the summer decayed in 6 years. I could diAcover no difference in the appearance of the tim be'r, or the quality of the soil it grew on. One was of timber - of trees part decayed, either at the bot- torn or top, decayed parts taken off, decayed in 5 ydars. Twenty water wheels were put up, and taken down, after decayed and worn out. Ten were of timber of old sound white oak 'trees.— Average durability, 18 years. Eight were of tim ber of sound white oak trees—part was felled in the winter and part in the summer. The average ddrability was 9 years. Those felled in the winter aVeraged 4 years more service. I could discover no difference in the appearance of the trees, or the edit they grew on. Two were of timber of trees p4rt decayed; although the decayed parts were ta ken off. Durability, 6 years. Nine cog wheels were made of timber of young mlhite oak trees. They took the dry rot, and broke Awn in 9 years. I made a number of cog wheels of seasoned timber of sound old trees, felled in the winter. They are yet in use, and appear perfectly sound. I have repaired mills in which the pit gears tippeared very sound. On inquiry, I was inlormed that the timber of which they were made, was of tilt' 'sound trees, felled in the winter, and seasoned before used. I have - placed timbers, of old sound trees, of young sound trees, and of part decayed trees, of Ivinter felled and of summer felled, where they were equally exposed to wet and dry, or dampness, as posts, sills, Wall plates, ground sills, forebays or trunks, in water pits; and cos , ' pits by the side of each other, equally exposed to wet and dry, or dampness, and the result has invariably correspon ded with the above statements. A few years since I noticed a fence, the rails of which appeared very much weather beaten. On inquiry of an aged kentlemair I was informed that the rails were made upwards of 50 years, and that they were made of old white oak trees, felled in the winter. Near the same time I saw a post and rail fence, which I was informed had been standing 50 years, and was made of timber of old white oak trees, felled in the winter. Timber intended for sills, posts, sleepers or any other purpose, if exposed to wet or dry, or damp- I viess, should be split or sawed through the heart or 'centre. It will be from 30 to 50 per cent. more durable. And sills, and wall plates, or ground sills, if raised by means of stones or slats of wood, to ad mit a free access of air, will be more durable than if laid in mortar or on the ground. All timbers should, if possible, be well dried or seasoned before used for any purpose. Timber to be Cx - jiosed to wet and dry should by all means be divested of its bark and that part called sap, before used. In se lecting trees to be taken for girders, posts, plates joist, window frames, door frames, perlines, or raft ers, none should be taken of crooked or twisting trees, for if dressed straight and out of twist before used, when they dry and season they will spring and twist. I have known tenons break, mortices split, pins break, and floors and ceilings disfigured - by the twisting or springing of such timbers.— Trees that grow on goosoils, or stand singly in meadows or fields, or at such distances from tree to tree as not to rob each other of—their food, gen erally have large rings or grains, me of a quick grots"th, with the annual rings or grains small, such as generally grow on poor soils, or where a number of other trees are growing, or the north side of the - hill. The smaller the rings or grains the less water will be absorbed. Sap isadestructive, and dryness favorable, to the durability of timber. Trees in the winter season are more devoid of sap thanwhen in a state of vegetation. Timber saturated with sap when felled, becomes porous when seasoned; and if exposed to wet and dry, or dampness, will take the dry rot much sooner than in winter. It is then devoid of sap, its fibre close., and its texture firm. Timber of trees decayed either at the bottom or top, should at all times be avoided where it will be exposed to dampness, unless the expense of repair ing it will be small. In reply to the inquiry respecting posts, I have made no experiments and knowr of none, but have frequently heard persons say if posts were put in the ground the reverse way they grew, they would be more durable. I have seen Fosts of old and of young trees put in the ground at the same time.— Those of old trees have alway's been (rem 20 to 40 per cent more durable. Psts should be., if possible, well dried or seasoned before used. I have cut, had cut, and seen cut, fort mill works, other purposes, and lire wood, hickory timber, at all sea sons of the year; and in every instance, unless cut in the summer season, the worms would cut or powder it ; and in many instanc es render it useless for many purposes. I have seen fire wood very much injured by them. ' I. B. Near Unionville, Frederick Co., Md. April 3, '52. The Ins Isibte Harp, I „ OR TILE GIFT OF TUE Alt tilstrEttiNo ./I.7CGELS. There are lessons enough foil us mortals to learn it may be, from that which is real; from the truths that we know and the scenes that are spread out to our sight as we go on in our pilgrimage. The blue sky is over our heads; the our, shines brightly upon us; and though clouds and storms may hide it fur a day, it shines again mo re gratefully when they are passed. TK , fields with their grass and flowers are every summer to lie eeen.—Trees are clothed in verdure, and if the ore scatter its leaves to autumn winds, and the beautyof the other with ers under the frost, it is only to', be decked anew in the spring; and all, all would teach us this one les son, for they remind us of one God—to be better and holier. But we heed them not, often!' The voice in them is too still and small to be heard above the din and bustle of lite, and though in Pen it sounded to those happy ones before their fall like a heavenly melody, and numberless harps were attuned at once in unison, their strings are, all discordant now, or they are well nigh silent. Let us listen then to other voices, and though from this we learn no other lesson, we may remember conslience oftener, as the monitor whose voice, if not the harp tones, we are permitted to hear. Over the couch of a sleeping child, hovered its ministering angel. The thoughts of that bright visitant were upon the future destiny of his charge, who slept in innocence bene'ath him. Through the years of what might be a long life on earth, they ran forward, and as deep a sha'cle as ever rests upon an angel's brow came over him, while he remem bred the sin and temptation (through which this young immortal must pass before he could enter the celestial city. But, as if glad thoughts had dispelled the sad, at once that cloud pasped away; and were it permitted mortal ears to hear the angel's voice, the happy spirit would have been heard to murmur, 'This child shall have a guide through earth's trials and darkness, for over his head will I place a harp whose music shall fall upon no ear but his own, and by it shall he judge whether h life meets Heaven's approval. A smile played about the lids of the sleeper as if he were in a pleasing dream—and he awoke. It was morning. A land mother bent over this same darling child. He thrett his arms lovingly around her and kissed her, ant 'with his soft voice said, "Now mother, tell me again that morning pray er you told me yesterday, foil I would thank our Father who has kept me thEci i igh the night. But hark! Are you singing mother, or what is that mu sic I hear V' No, child, you hear no music, unless it be the bird's song; for they awoke before you." But she knew not that sweet notes, intended only for that loved one, had come from the invisible harp, and as they soon ceased the child was satisfied to inquire farther. He went out intd the fields to play, A butterfly flitted across his path. Merrily he shouted as he ran after it, and so eager wasl i he in pursuit. that he had heard not the low, sad tones of that invisible harp which sounded again, until he caught the trail beautiful thing; but as unintentionally he crushed it in his little hand, he let it tall at once to the ground shapeless and dead as it were, for he heard those' notes dying away on the bree6 mournfully. And still they sounded as he took the crushed insect into his hand,.and smoothed its col B red wings, and watch ed the shining dust upon themi and tears fell as he saw he could fly no more, arid rememered that he had killed it; for childhood! is not heartless, but weeps at death.—Yllid you hear music ?",he asked of a playmate by his side. "Only the hum of the bees and the song of the bird) that has just flew by us ," was the answer. And he began to think the harp was meant only for him, for he had often be fore this heard it when no others did, though they were near; and he remember d now that it was sad only when he was sinning. A poor beggar boy passed the door. While the boy asked him if he would rest, for he looked wea ry, and ran to bring him br4ti, he heard the notes . of joyous music over him, and then he knew that: heaven spoke approval of th6'deed in the tones of the invisible harp. Again he sported in the fillds. Harsh words were spoken by a playmate. and he would have retorted the same to him that spokelthem.but the harp sent forth mournful notes. How could he allow other than kind words to be spoken? The friends were reconciled, and glad notes came to him on the air; for "a soft answer turneth away wrath''—and is not this heavenly? Years passed. He whom the ministering angel had been permitted to bless wish such a monitor, had well learned that as he acted good or bad, so i's notes sounded. Bitter trials were before him. The destroyer took oue whom the youth had loved. A sister—the dear one of his childhood—in whose existence was bound.up his own, was to be the vie sim. Sickness did its work, and no hand could save PAUL FIARDIE her. The parting moment came. She gave him a last look of affection—a last embrace—and died. In the depth of grief he repi.oachel his. God that he was called to make a sacrifice so trying. Oh, how loud, and plaintive, and aionizing almost, seemed the hard tones then, until the stricken one bowed in submission and implored forgiveness, and there came a soothing melody, breathing gently in his ear 'God doeth all things well k' Early manhood c ime. {He who from childhood had been thus the angers care, had nearly finished his sojourn, and he lay upoh the bed of death. His own ministering angel still hovered over him. They were soon to be united. The earth born, heaven-des tined spirit and the angel viho had ever been nearer. The invisible harp had been his guide to acts of goodness. He bad followdd its teachings well. He had treasured its warningd in hii heart, silently,— thoughtfu4. This had led him to his God—his Sa vior—and noW atlast to home. Friends wept in that chamber, but a redeemed soul went to take up its art in the chorus of Heav e A MOMOY. She was a gentle, quiet girl, With darkly waving hair Just parted in her siiiple way, On a forehead low and fair, No flush of brilliant loveliness Wan sparkling on her face, But something tranqbil and subdued, And touching in its grace. She seldom smiled, but then she brought No cloud on otheqs glee, And ever on her pale young brow, A shadow seemed, to be; And then her voice was very sad, In its soft and earnest tone, With a low and winning eloquence, And a sweetness all its own. Some hidden sorrow, on the past A datkness seemed to throw; She never spoke of early ties, Or of pleasures long ago; But in the daily common cares, She calmly met hbr share, As one who had nolshrinkings from The trials lire must bear. We miss the kindness of her voice, And the beauty or her brow ; ,And the sweetest words we ever heard Are silent to us now. She never spoke thi quiet grief, Whose blight so 'early fell— She had been gayer once they said, But loved too long and well.

CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 1, 1852. Expedition to Japan The Journal des Debuts devotes an article of some length and much ability to the Japan Expedition now projected by the Government of the U. Staten The letter of President Fillmore to the Emperors Japan, published very generally in the newspapers some time ago, announces the pacific character of the expedition. Mr. Webster 's letter of instructions to the Commander of the Squadron gives further particulars as to the special objects contemplated —all of which have reference to the future exten sion of our commerce in the Pacific and to the pros pective establishment of lines of steamers from Cal ifornia to China. The organization of this expedition has produced a decided sensation in Europe. It is looked upon as the first step in an onward progress which must lead to great results. In this view the Paris journal above named thus speaks of it : The English and the Americans are not simplY conquerors; they are missionaries of humanity, ol civilization, of the laws of nations, of sociability' or, in one word, of Christianity. At bottom of it is the wrestling of the Old World with the New— the battles of the religions of antiquity with that of our days. The Chinese and the Japanese are un willing to acknowledge the rest of the human race; foreigners are to them both barbarians and enemies; they close their ports against them, and kill them when the tempest throws them into their hands; it is the principle of the Jews, who would not know the Gentiles; it is the principle of the Pagans, who Called strangers and enemies by one and the same name—hostess. On the other hand is the principle which says that all men are the children of one family, and mutually owe each other aid in time of need, that no nation can close its harbors to the shipwrecked mariner, nor withhold from him ne cessary assistance: that hospitality is a duty as asy lum is a right; that no people is privileged to with draw itself from the general brotherhood and a common solidarity; that all are bound to fulfil to wards each other the duties which each and all may also claim and exact. It is the principle of Chris tianity, the principle of charity, of fraternity and sociability. '•Such is the struggle soon to take place in the old Asiatic world. It is the struggle of progress with immobility; of the spirit with the letter; of pardon with the law. The issue is not fora moment doubtful. What the Americans are'at this moment doing, is the realization of the dream of Christopher Columbus. It is known that Columbus, when he undertook his voyage of discovery, expected to land upon the opposite shore of Asia. He sought a new route to the East, and when he disembarked upon Guanahani, thought himself arrived at the Indies.— It was the New World he had met in his way.— Christian civilization has rested there for a moment, on her passage home. She took possession of the land and planted the cross upon it: And now be hold her commencing again her eternal pilgrimage and continuing the circle of her revolution. From the New World, where she has recovered her face, she starts with renewed vigor to burst upon the world of antiquity, whose dissolution she will ac complish. " It will need many, many years, for the success of this work of conquest, of absorption and assimi lation. We see nothing, either begin or finish, un der our eyes, because we are infinitesimally little. Ten and twenty years, what are these impercepti ble figures in the sum of centuries t But it will be, in times to come, the spectacle, perhaps the most poetic and epic in history—that of these two peo ple, (English and American,) children or one and the same race, and of one and the same God, pas sing across continents and seas, to en et and mingle in one final embrace. They are in march. and noth ing can stop them more. 'll, breach is open, and by it shall flow the wave of the. Scriptures. of which it has been said that it will renew the face of the earth." It is of course impossible to say in advance what sort of reception the President's overtures may mee with at the hands of the Japanese authorities.— Insult and contumely may be offered—in which event the pacific character of the Expedition may be compelled to undergo a change, to such an extent at least as to repel and to chastise any affronts which barbarian stupidity and malevolence may presume to venture upon. But whether pacific or hostile; whe:her the facil ities solicited for our commerce in the seat of Japan shall hicourteously grantel, or whether unprovo ked aggressions shall call for the retribution of an avenging hand—in either case it is quite manifest that this movement towards Japan is but the begin ning of a series of steps; the tendency and the in evitable result of which must be to promote inter- course with the Japanese, and to impair that policy of exclusion which has so long shut out those peo ple from communication with the Christian world. Occupying an important position on the route o f t rade between Our Pacific coast and the shores of China and the East Indies, the system of isolation on the part of the Japanese cannot remain unaffec ted by the constant intercourse which that trade will generate between the two extremes of the route. In due course of time the Pacific will be alive with our ships. The whale fishery already gives employment to a vassVeet; and the introduction of steamers on the smooth waters of that ocean may be expected soon to connect the route from San Francisco to Canton and the East Indies into a thor oughfare for American commerce. Civilization ur ges on this'consummation and trusts with confi dence to.the results it will bring to pass.—Baltimore American. We have heretofore had some accounts of a fam ine prevailing in certian parts of Germany. By the Atlantic further advices have been received. A letter in the London Times says:—`'Poor Southern and Central Germany, still suffering from the re cent political convulsions, has now, in addition, been visited by disease and famine. - The places alluded to in the letter are Wurtemburg in Bava ria, Grand Duchy of Baden, Nassau, and the north east part of the Duchy of Hess, of which the wri ter says: "In these localities whole villages are being de serted for want of food; their unfortunate inhabi tants, who in time of comparative prosperity eke out but a .scanty and miserable existence, have been wanting their staple food—potatoes. In other parts trade is standing still; of 10,000 looms, in a single province in Bavaria, almost exclusively inhabited by weavers, not half are at full work. The people are deprived alike of the productions of nature and the fruits of industry; and, to consummate wretch edness and despair, and an extreme dearth of pro visions, whole herds of cattle and sheep are killed by a rapidly spreading disease. All feelings of hu man nature begin to be more and more perverted and convulsed. The most loathsome food, meat infested by murrain, is eagerly sought after, in some instanc , s dogs have been slaughtered and raven ously devoured by a famishing population. In some cases, in Wurtemburg, a dog buried for some days has been dug up; and, what will scarcely appear credible, the flesh in its advanced state of decompo sition has been actually made use of as food." This, the writer says, explains the reason why Germans, in yet unheard of numbers, are literally besieging every port available for emigration.— Hunger knows no patriotism, and same qui peed is the anxious cry repeated froM village to village by hundreds and thousands, and is driving them to search fora home in foreign and distant countries. Disinterested.—A young and beautiful, but poor widow, was about to molly an old but rich widow er. Her friends • wished to know what she was about to marry him for? She feelingly replied, "pure love-1 love the ground (meaning the farm probably) on which be walks, and the very house in which he lives." There is disinterested love for you. There is none of your. school girl foolishness in sat. "THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, 'WHERE LABOR COMMABS THE GREATEST REWARD."--Buchanan. Famine in Germany Homestead Bill The House of Representatives at Washington, on Wednesday week passed the Homestead bill, by tO7 to 56. This bill authorizes every American citi zen to claim, improve, and occupy one hundred and sixty acres of the surveyed and unappropriated pub lic lands, which are open to purchase. Nearly every member of the Pennsylvania delegation voted in favor of the bill. It is thought that a strong effort will be made to defeat it in the Senate. The following is an abstract: The bill now presented provides that any person who is the head of a family and a citizen of the United States, or any person who is the head of a family and had become a citizen prior to the first day of January 1852, as required by the naturali zation laws of the United States, shall, from and after the passage of this act be entitled to enter, free of cost, one quarter section of vacant and unappro priatcd public lands, or a quantiy equal thereto, to be located in a body, in conformity with the legal subdivisions of the public lands, and aft r the same shall have been surveyed. 2d. The person applying for the benefit of the act, to make an affidavit that he or she is the bead of a family, and is not the owner of any estate in land at the time of such application, and has not disposed of any estate in land to obtain the benefit of the act. . . 3d section refers to the duties of the Land Reg ster. . . 4th. All lands acquired under the provisions or the act shall in no event become liable to satisfac• tion of any debt or debts contracted prior to the is suing of the patents therefor. Otis. If, at any time after filing the affidavjt re quired, and before the expiration of five years, it shall be proven that the person locating on such lands shall have changed his or her residence, or abandoned the said entry for more than six months at any one time, then the land to revert back to the Government, and be disposed of as other public lands are now by law. 6th. If any individual, now a resident of any State or Territory, and not a citizen of the United States, but at the time of making application for the benefit of the act shall have filed a declaration of intention so to do, as required by the Naturalization laws of the United States, and shall become a citizen of the same before the issuing of the patent, as made and proved for in this act, he shall be placed on equal tooting with the native born citizens. 7th. No individual is permitted to make more than one entry under this act. TIIE Monmoss AT UTAH.—The St. Louis Intel ligencer publishes a most, noticeable account of Mormon doings, contained in a letter from Great Salt Lake City, dated February 28th. he writer says that the Legislature is still in session, though the term allotted by law had expired sometime pre vious. The delay was probably in order to hear from the States. The Mormons expected rigid measures to be adopted by the general government, and were intending to resist the United States to the extent of their ability; many saying that they had fled for the last time, and would die where they were. The proceedings of the Legislature are rep resented as most disorderly; any person, whether a member or not. being allowed to take part in the debates. The Governor is said to control every thing according to his own pleasure. On a certain occasion when the members were divided, the Governor is said to have risen, as he declared, "to put a stop to the debate, and to settle the matter for them;' in doing which lie used the most profane language in regard to the General Government and to the representatives of the'same in the territory. And such is said to be his habit when speaking and preaching. The writer then goes on to say that the Governor has about 50 wives, and other leading members of the Church from 2 to Ili wives, according to circumstances.— He adds: "I have heard it said, upon good authority, that the Mormons intend to form an alliance with the Indians, and excite them against the government, for the purpose of resisting her authority ; and that they were now preparing for a conflict, This re port seems to . be sustained by the fact that the Governor and the Mormon sub-agent, S. B. Rose, with interpreters, take frequent excursions, with presents, &c. The Washington Union copies the letter from the St. Louis Intelligencer and says: "We are informed, upon authority which we have full reason to regard as reliable, that the ex traordinary and most unwarrantable state of things set forth in the letter is not exaggerated or misrep resented: English Law and Equity RepoctS.

South FREDERICK Street, BA urimo RE, Md., on the left hand side, going from Baltimore street, 7 doors front the corner.— Be particular is observing thepante and number or you will mistake the place. DR . . JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don, Graduate from one of the most eminent Col leges of the United States and the greater part of whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon don, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has affect ed some of the most astonishing cures that were ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the ears and head when asleep,great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with frequent blushing; attended, sometimes, with de rangement of mind, were cured immediately. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. .J. addresses all those who have injured themselves by private and improper indulgencies, that secret and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them for either business or society. These are some of the sad and melancholy ef fects produced by early habits of youth, viz: Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in the head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irrita bility, Derangement of the Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Consumptiop, &c. Mentally.—The tearful effects on the mind are' much to be dreaded : Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo• ding, Aversion of Society, Self Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c. arc some of the evils pro duced! NERVOUS DEBILITY. Weakness of the system, NervoueDebility and premature decay generally arises from the destruct ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to the healthful existence of man, and it is the young who are the most apt to become its Victims from andgoorance of the dangers to which they subject themselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis led Willi respect to the cause or source of disease in their sons and wards. Alas! how of:en do they ascribe to other causes the, wasting of the frame, Palpitation of the Hea 1, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious Mental effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres sion of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when the truth is they have been caused by indulging Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to both' Body and Mind. Thus are swept from ex istence thousands who might have been of use to their country, a pleasure to their friends, an orna count to society. WEAKNESS OF THE , ORGANS immediately cured and full vigor restored. Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguided youths been made, who have been suddenly resto red to health from the devastations of those terrific maladies which result from indiscretion. Such persons, before contemplating MARRIAGE, should reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey duo' life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect hourly darkens to the view •, the mind becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan choly reflection that the happiness of another be comes blighted with our own. - Let no false delica cy prevent you, but apply immediately. He who places himself under the care of Dr. JOHNSTON, may religiously confide in his hon or as a Gentleman, and confidently rely upon his skill as a Physician 'l'o STRANGERS. . . The many thousands cured at this institution within the last ten years, and the numerous im portant Surgical Operations performed by Dr. J., witnessed by the Reporters of the papers and ma. ny other persons, notices of which have appeared again and again before the public, is a snfficient guarantee that the afflicted will find a skilful and honorable physician.
