Since the commencement of the Sontag operas, an enthusiastic friend of ours and bis wife 'have become so carried away withithe furor awakened by attendance two nights at the opera, that it is the har dest ihing in the world for them to re straii their disposition to sing everything the more so because they are both pro "ficieniS in music. The other morninrr while ordering his dinner, the butcher a seriate man was surprised to hear our frienjl shout out, with most emphatic e- auncation. "What will you take, For that 'ere stake." Tie butcher winked at his partner, and answered, with an air of composure, " A shillm' sir:" but it was evident that our friend was down in the day-book of his estimation as a lunatic. Making his pur ciasjj, and going out of the door, he met JiiSjfieighbor Jones. Extending his hand frantically, he sung V'Ah, friend Jones, and is it you? " How do you do, Jones, how do you do 3 i Long time since we've met together; Isn't this delightful weather!" Jones was astonished, as well he might be. J Passing into a bakery to procure some bread for breakfast he sung to a verS' plaintive air C'J3akers ! bakers ! bless your souls ! ILet us have a dozen rolls." sndlrolled the words "rolls" out so ten derly that the baker's wife burst into tears. Thelrolls were take down by the baker's irifef when, finding his voice again, he sang witb great feeling P'Dearest one ! with fingers taper, ?ie the bread up in a paper!" she did, and he went home hum- mine and beatinc time on the paper par- celslhe held in his arms. His wife met himlat the door, wringing her hands. Thefit was on her, and she commenced M Einging " My dear Charles, what do you think 1 The coffee's all as black as ink ! I'm so provoked that I can cry" "Giiarles "Stop, my dear, it's all in your eye ! "When misfortune comes, why bear it; I, your loving spouse, will share it. Come, now, let us sit at table, Do the best that we are able, ,Let the coffee go to grass, We will have some tea my, lasB." iWirE "Ob, my Charles, you happy make me!" .Charles "If I don't, the duce may take me!

SlHARLES lr " Cook the steak just to your pleasure, But see that it's not overdone, And I will he at home by one." Both H "Good bye, farewell, 1 is hard to part ; I cannot tell How dear thou art." How this will end, it is hard to foresee, but "friends of the family" shake their heads, and point to their foreheads signif icantly as much as to say there is some thing wrong about our unfortunate friend's phrenology.

Petin the French balloonist, who was expelled from Paris by Lewis Napoleon, is now in New Orleans, prepar- ing for a great experiment in serial navi- cration. which he designs to make about, thc middle of the present month. For . . . , . x . this purpose he is constructing an appa- ratus, consisting of two immense balloons, a new territorycarved out of the re the largest in the world, to which will be cent conquests from Mexico, stretching attached a long, slondercar, called a'ship' j from tbe summit of the Rocky Mountains mu in. T i, r i j -i-l m on the East, through thirteen degrees of Ine latter is to be furnished with sails, , .,, ' , B, r ., , . ' , longitude, to the land ot gold. A branch screw propellers, and an electro-magnetic engine, now building in the North. In case the latter should not arrive in time, Monsieur Petin will use a small but pow erful steam engine which will be ready for him, so that there may be no delay. The balloons will be inflated from the city gas works. The Picayune, from which we glean these facts, says that Monsieur Pe tin is a man of scientific research and learning, to whom -the balloon is not a j mere means of amusement to a crowd, but something to be used in devising a ! practical and useful system of jerial nav igation. Valuable Hec-ite. Take Plaster Paris and soak it in a saturated s'olution of alum, then bake the two in an oven, the same as srvpsum is baked, to make it Plas - ter of Paris, after which they are ground to powder. It is then used as wanted, being mixed up with water, plaster, and applied. It sets into a very hard position, capable of taking a very high polish. It may be mixed with various coloring min erals to a cement of any color, capable of imitating marble. This is a very rare recipe, and is worth twenty dollars to ma ny of our subscribers, who can prepare for themselves. To Clean Carpets. Your carpets being first well beaten and freed from dust, tack it down to the floor; then mix half a pint of bullock's gall with two gallons of soft water; scrub it well with soad and with this gall mixture; let it remain till quite dry, and it will be perfectly clean sed and look like new, as the colors will be restored to their original brightness. The brush you use must not be too hard, but rather long in the hair, or you will rub up the nap and damage the article. Nails Growing in the Flesh. A late writer in the "Ohio Cultivtor" gives the following remedy : Cut a notch in the middle of the nail every time the nail is pared. The disposition to close the notch draws the nail up from the sides. It cured mine after I had suffered weeks with its festering. Advertising. Dr. Buckley, in one of his lectures, made use of an illustration something like this: "Holding a dime close to his eyes with ono hand, and a half dollar at some distance with the oth er, said he, I cannot now see the half dol lar with this eye, for the dime i3 so close it obscures my vision. So it is with man kind in their eagerness to save one dollar, they often lose sight of fifty within their reach. This is a very apt illustration of the benefits of advertising. In saving one dollar for advertising, dealers often fail to secure a customer whose trade would be worth perhaps hundreds of dollars to them. Such merchants hold up the dime so close that they cannot see the dollar they might obtain. A Dodge. When Deacon B. got into a bad position, he was very expert at crawling out of it. Though too quick tempered, he was one of the,best deacons in the world. He would not, in a sober moment utter an oath, or anything like one, for his weight in cider. At the close of a rainy day, he was walking upon a knoll in his barn-yard; on one side of which was a dirty slough, and on the other an old buck, that, in consid eration of his usually quiet disposition, he was allowed to run with the cows. The deacon was piously humming "Old Hun dred," and had just finished the line en ding with " exalted high," when the ram, obeying a certain impulse tc be ; aggres-1 sive gave him z b ow from behind that; sent him up a short distance, only to fall directly into the slough where the dirty water was deep enongu to give thorough immersing.

Some six vears have since elapsed. 'and the census of the Great Salt Lake ; City probably enumerates, at this day, some iorty or nicy thousand people while in other parts oi the world, two hundred and fifty thousand more embrace the Mormon faith. In this far off wil derness, so recently known only to the .1 . n i moccasin, tue arts are nourishing m a high degree. Woolen factories, to be supplied by fleeces from the Jordon val ley sugar manufactories, to be fed with beets potteries and cutlery establish ments, send their hum through the aston ished land. No such noise did it expect to hear for half a century to come. On a mountain terrace; overhanging the city, the site of a contemplated university is already laid out and enclosed. School houses are springing up, and are supplied with competent teachers from a central Normal School. Gigantic preparations are in progress to build up a Temple, which is intended to surpass every exist ing or historic structure in splendor and magnitude. The city is laid out on a scale of magnificent proportions, to which hitherto, the world has been a stranger a scale corresponding with the breadth of territory on whose bosom they dwell corresponding with their expectations of growth, and compared with which the narrow avenues of modern and ancient cities, are mere mathematical lines al ready, three miles in breadth and four in length, its streets are regularly diagram ed, each eight rods in width, with side walks of twenty feet every block forty rods square, containing eight lots of an a cre and a quarter each; and every tene ment obliged by law to retreat twenty feet from the front line, to make room for a delightful margin of shrubbery and trees. A perenial stream flows through the city; and pours its pure waters down both sides of every street, and carries ir rigation to their bounteous gardens. A warm spring bubbles from the mountains; and following pipes, reaches a public bathing-house. A soil of exuberant produc tiveness stretches around them. Compa tively little solicitation is necessary from the hand of man to bring its grains and fruits to perfection and maturity. Twen ty miles to the north-west slumber the heavy waters of great Salt Lake. This vast body of the purest brine so dense ly impregnated that men cannot sink in it, if they try fills a basin of thirty by seventy miles, and will, doubtless, be the scene of the exhaustless salt manufacture for those future generations that will in habit the immense domain between the Ptocky Mountains and the Sea. Already a United States mail route reaches from this city to San diego on the Pacific coast, near which the Salt Lake Mormons have, thus early, established a colony. Other and out-post settlements are planting a round them, on the Weber and the Tim panagoes. Mormon missionaries are pros lyting the world, and 'converging their convicts to the new city of Utah. The unconquerable mountains of Wales are sending their hardy sons to preach and practice the Mormon creed in the West ern World. And here, betweeu the llocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada, over eleven hundred miles from the city of New York, rapidly grows this incipient com munity bound together by a burning enthusiasm and a common faith, compac ted by persecutings, welded by the neces- sit if and self-defence,-its fouJnder a sot Jnd its Bible a theft-one of etr 't henomcna t0 which the present faa ba3 given birth. a , it c c j.i. ii..,i.o p t, xi.u Lai was it uuui uiu muuuto ui tut minister, Solomon Spalding, when, at niiorrxr Vollmr in M'nnr VnrV lip nrtmnrkCPfl 800j000 zealots in itg wake count its' worsnipers in Jungiana,urermaiiy,oweuun, .jn tbe mountain fastness of Wales, in Normandy, the East Indies and Sandwich Isles and. found a great city and State in that territory, which at the time he wrote, the foot of white man liad never trod. DIETETICS. BY T. L. NICHOLS, M. D. If civilized men could be satisfied that they could have a purer health, and con sequently greater strength and a higher enjoyment even of the pleasures of the ta ble, by living upon vegetables, they would scarcely slaughter the myriads of animals that are now annually butchered so use lessly and so cruelly. Why should we take the life of one of God's innocent creatures in the midst of its enjoyments ? Why imbrue our hands in blood and steep our hearts in cruelty ? Why have about us portions of mangled corpses which can only be kept from putrefaction by the use of the most powerful antisectics ? One would think that men would not do such deeds without some terrible necessity. It is because he is naturally a carniv orous animal ? because God made him for a life of slaughter? No; his anato my shows he has but a distant relation to the flesh-eating tribes the lions, tigers, wolves and hyenas. It proves him to be an eater of fruits, seeds and vegetables. There is no man who, if he were obliged to select a diet all flesh, or all vegetables, would not choose the latter. Give any man his choice to live a month on nothing but bread, or nothing but beef, and he would choose the bread. Is it because flesh is necessary to our health ? Certainly not. Every physician knows that vegetables contain the purest form of food. In certain cases they rig idly restrict their patients to a vegetable diet, luesh is known to be inflammatory, putrefying, and liable to be diseased. In certain conditions it develops the most deadly poisons. Persons who eat much flesh have violent diseases, and are diffi cult to cure. They are peculiarly subject to the plague, the small-pox, the cholera, and other fatal epidemics. In Smyrna, during Lent, which is kept by the Greeks, very few of them are attacked by the plague, even while the flesh-eating inhabi tants are dying all around them. Is flesh cheaper than vegetables ? There is a wide differnce the other way. t Wheat, the best article of human nutri- i ment, contains 85 per cent, of nutritious ' matter in the exact proportions required i to make the best blood for the nourish- i ment of the system, while the best flesh ' contains but 25 per cent, of nutritious ', matter, and that in the best proportions, while a pound of flesh costs as much as several pounds of wheat. The corn re- quired to make pork enough to support a , man one hundred days, would, if eaten in its pure original and far more healthy j condition, afford him as much nutriment for 480 days, to say nothing of the time lost in feeding the animal. In fattening a hog, a certain number of bushels of good healthy corn and potatoes, are converted into a mass of greasy, and in many cases scrofulous pork, with great loss and trou- ble, while the flesh thus made does not contain one principle necessary to the human constitution which did not exist in a far better form in the vegetables on which it fed. In short it has been found by an accurate calculation that vegetable food is not merely better, but five hundred per cent, cheaper than the flesh of ani mals. Since the attention of men of science has been turned to organic chemistry, the proportions of nutritive matter in various substances have been accurately ascer tained. The following is the result of some of these inquiries : Turnips contain 11 per cent, of nutri tive matter; beets 11; carrots 13; flesh 25; potatoes 28; oats 82; peas 84; wheat 84-2; beans 86; oatmeal 91. Corn is about the same as oats and wheat. Thus 100 pounds of flesh contain but 25 pounds of nutri tive matter, and 75 lbs. of water, while the same quantity of potatoes contains 28 lbs. of nutritive matter, and wheat 85 i; lbs. But this is not all. The best food is that which contains the materials for muscles, nerves, bones, &c, and the mat ter for combustion which keeps up the vi tal heat, in proper proportions. The a nalysis of wheat shows us that these prin ciples aro found in it, in almost exactly the same proportion as in the blood ; and this is the case to a great extent with most of the vegetable productions used for food, whereas flesh contains but one of these principles, and can but very im perfectly subserve the purposes of human nutriment. Is flesh better than vegeta bles ? This question is already answer ed. Chemical analysis proves that vege tables, especially the farinacea, as wheat, corn, rice, &c. contain the purest nutri ment, and in the requisite proportions. Why not? Do we want strength ? See the powerful muscles of the ox and the horse, made from grass and grain. They need no beef steak to enable them to per form their labor ; and if we eat the flesh of the ox, we only eat the grass and grain at second hand, mixed with effete animal matter, often with the poison of disease, and always deprived of some of its most important principles. Contrive as wemay, we must live on vegetables, and the only question is, whether we shall eat them at second hand, impure, unpleasant, and in many respects objectionable, as they are converted into the tissues of animals. It is a question of science, of experi ence, of principle, and of taste. Science has demonstrated that the products of the vegetable kingdom are tho natural food of man, most admirably adapted to all the wants of his system. Experience has shown that men can be sustained under all circumstances, on vegetable food, in their highest health and vigor. It should be a matter of principle not to inflict need less suffering, nor to condemn thousands of our fellow men to follow cruel and brut talizing employments. As to the question of taste, I fancy there can be no two o pinions. Compare the flesh-eating ani mals with those that live on vegetables. Of carnivorous animals in their natu ral state, we have the lion, the tiger, the wolf, the hyena, &c; of vegetable eaters, the horse, camel, ox, elephant, ourang outang, &c, and of the omniverous, the hog. The lion has a fabulous reputation for courage and magnanimity ; but the best informed naturalists assure us that he is treacherous, cowardly and ferocious like all his class. The hog may be a respectable animal in his wa, but he has no qualities that I am aware of, to induce me to follow his example in regard to di et. Look now at the calm dignity of the "half reasoning elephant;" the patient docility of the camel; the noble character and beauty of the horse; the strength and usefulness of the ox; the almost human sagacity of the monkey tribe ; and draw an inference, if you will, of the relative merits of the different systems of diet. As a matter of taste and feeling, I should think every person of refinement would give a preference to the vegetarian system. On the one side you have Gelds of waving . iii. ii i grain, trees loaaeu with luscious ana o- dorous fruits, fair apples, blushing peach es, blue plums and golden nectarines ; vines laden with purple grapes, and a wealth of fruits and berries innumerable, making the earth all beauty and sweet ness. On the other you have stall-fed beasts, cruel and ferocious butcheries, the pestilential odor of slaughter-houses, gut ters running with blood, the mangled and putrefying carcasses of dead animals, ma king, altogether, a scene of such abomi nations as no person of sensibility wishes to contemplate. What is more beautiful than corn and fruits ? What more revolting than dead corpses? Who does not gather the vege table portion of his food with pleasure? Who would butcher his own meatif he could have it done for him ? What more grace ful present than cakes and fruits ? What more ridiculous than the present made to the Queen of England, the other day, of a lot of sausages ? I do not write to impose my opinions upon others. Let every one examine the subject, and be fully persuaded in his own mind. Hogs will continue to be fattened, and pork to be eaten ; but let every man, who reasons at all, satisfy himself that his natural food is the flesh of the hog, and no one ought to quarrel with his de cision. I have.no no doubt that a very large proportion of disease and prema ture mortality of this country comes from our inordinate eating of flesh, and when tho question is fairly examined, all medi cal men will be of the same opinion. jggrA writer in the Baltimore Sun, who has been afflicted severely in his fam ily by that appalling disease, bronchitis, has found relief from the following rem edy: "Take honey in the comb, squeeze it out, and dilute with a little water, and wet the lips and mouth occasionally with it." It has never been known to fail in cases even where children had throats so swol len as to be unable to swallow. It is cer tainly a simple remedy, and may be a very efficacious one. Remarkable. Speaking of the death of an aged man, one of our exchanges j says, "He retained remarkable possession of all his mental faculties down to within a few miles of his residence. "Jamie,"' says one honest Irishman to j another the first time he saw a locomotive, j "What is that snorting baste ?" "Sure," j replied Jamie, "I don't know at all, unless it is a steam boat splurging along to get to water." Hail Storm. The Roanoke Republi can is informed that on the morning af ter a hail storm which occurred near Brink ley ville, a few days since, in Halifax coun ty, the hail laid on the ground to the depth of eighteen inches. The Editor says, "this may appear incredible, but it is nevertheless true." Tight Screwing. 'Do you support j General Scott?' 'No.' 'Do you support General Pierce?'

It is a curious inquiry why the knowledge of agriculture progresses so slowly; and why it has yet attained so little in this Coun-tr-. It is a fact which we arc all willing to concede, that our productions are little more than one half of what they should be, and far less than what they are else where ; and yet we seem to be content to bide our time, aud be satisfied with re sults, when accident or chance shall pro duce them or when we shall be jostled from the "old way" by the coming gen eration. More than seven hundred years be fore the Christian era, Isaiah prophetical ly speaks of a threshing machine, "Behold I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth. And yet this intimation pointing out almost the very structure of the machine now in so com mon use, was not realized until the nine teenth century ; and then received with a doubting caution that well nigh dam pened the experiment. The merchant has carried his enteaprise into every nook and corner of the known and I had al most written, uuknown world ; the learn ed have exerted their talents to the de velopment and practical application of scientific principles, which ha3 given to their class an enviable place in the esti mation of mankind ; the mechanic, avail ing himself of these developments of sci ence, has given them form and shape to an extent which entitles them to the ad miration of the world ; whilst the farmer stands to gaze with mingled feelings of doubt and astonishment, that all the oth er pursuits of life whirl so rapidly past him. , What is the remedy for this admitted evil? We answer the education of far mers' son3 through the medium of an ag ricultural school. We mean a school to educate boys in the art and science of farming ; and unless the farmers of our State will zealously embrace this idea, and avail themselves of it there is no hope that their condition can be otherwise im proved but by the lapse of time, and hap pening of accidental circumstances. There is no one of the colleges of this country adapted to instruct a farmer ; on the contrary their system is calculated to educate young men to a state of entire unfitness for any such occupation. A boy graduated at one of our litcray institu tions has already spent that part of his life which alone can be profitably employ ed to learn the art of farming; and sci ence without art, is still worse than art without science. There are peculiar rea sons why farmers should take up this sub ject and make it their own. It is a fact with regard to the system upon which lit erary institutions are at present based, that their pecuniary resources are never ' adequate to their necessities, however e conomical they may be. The consequence of this is that the education is made to cost more than they, whorely upon the products of a farm, are able to pay. Besides if this expense should have been undergone, the farmer has in all probability driven his son from all taste or desire to pursue the calling for which his maturer judg ment intended him. And if the boy should return to the farm, it is to exhibit to his disappointed father and brothers how lit tle he knows of the business of his future life. In an Agricultural School the pupils are laborers of the farm as well adiu their study ; their bodies are educated to the art, and their minds to the science of far ming ; whilst their hands are employed in the work of the farm, their minds are employed in the pursuit of the knowledge of the reasons for what they do ; there s thereby an intermingling of theoretical science and practical art, which is but to be continued through their whole future lives. The Institution thus becomes; in a measure, self-sustaining ; and the price of education may be reduced to a mere trifle. FREDK. WATTS. Carlisle, April 20, 1853. A Hint to the Farmer. We may send to England for Durham cows, and to Spain or Saxony for choi cest sheep; we may search the world over for cattle that pleases the eye; but unless they receive the best care and lib eral feeding, they will most assuredly de teriorate, and eventually become a worthless and aa unworthy of propaga tion as any of the skeleton breeds ihafc now haunt our rich but neglected pasture lands. Wc remember an euecdote in, point and will relate it byway of illustra tion. A farmer having purchased a cow from a country abounding in the richest pasturage, found that she fell short of the yield which he was informed she had been accustomed to give. He complained to the gentleman of whom he had purchas ed that the cow was not the one he had bargained for, or in other words, that she was not what she was 'cracked up to be.. Why," said the seller, "1 sold you-.my cow, but I did not Soli you my rajtuife too." m
