P0KTICAL
THROUGH THE WOBIiS. .
Soma baarta get hungering through tha world
And never find the love they seek ;
Some lip with pride or worn ara curled
To hide the pain they may not apeak.
The eye may flash, the mouth may smile,
Tbe voice in gladileat musia thrill,
And yet beneath then all the fthile
The hungry heart be pining atilL
These know their doom, and wulk their way
With level tcn and steadfast eye,
Hor strive with rata, nor weep, nor pray
While other, not ao sadly wise,
Are mocked by phantom evermore,
And lured by seeming of delight,
Fair to tbeir eye, but at the core
Holding but bitter dust and blight.
I see them gate from wietful eyes,
I mark tbeir sin on fading cheeks ;
I bear them breathe in smothered aigb,
' And note tbe grief that never fpotka;
For them no might redresses wrong,
No eye with pity ta impenrlcd ;
O, misoonatrueu and aufftfrini; long,
0, heart that hunger through the world !
For you does life's dull dcaort hold
Ho fountain simile, no date grove fair,
No gurb of water clear and oold,
But sanay reach.) wide and bare.
Tbe foot may fall, the auul way f.iiut,
And weigh to earth the Weary frame,
Yet still we make no weak complaint,
And speak no word of grief or blamo
0, eager eyes which gaze afar !
O, arm which elaip the empty air !
Not all unmarked your aorrow ara,
Mot all unpitied your despair.
Emile, patient lips so proudly dumb
When life' frail tent at last is furled
Your glorion recompense shall ootne.
CI, heart that hunger through the world.
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE CITY A.li COl'-VI'MY.
ST HOUA.CK Oil RELET.
I presume it 1b already widely known tliat
I habitually and aj&tinitttit ally 1! i "count (;
tlie migration of young men to our gteal
citiu. J.et me say w hy I to to.
Strictly, however, what i !o id to decline
promoting ir encouraging the migratiou ot
young men to our city. I would leave it
1'ree and open to tlieai as it ever wuh to
me. I came hither, not quite of ajje, with
a tnlcralile kuowletlge of my trade, (priut
ing.) r solved to make my way here, il l
could if not, lo tituke my way Jnnn here,
dii-eetly. I knew no one living witliin two
hundred miles, I wrote to usk help or lavor
of no one ; I came in quest of work found
it iretty soon took the worst thut was go
ing, because those who were lie re In lure me
had secured the liest nnd gradually lougbt
my way to better position.
I think it whs the 17th of August, 1831,
when I landed la this city ; and it whs just
about ten years thence thut I first felt assur
ed that I could stity in New York till I
chose to leave, unices I should, meantime,
be carried out by the undertaker.
There is a class of country bred persons
who can, snmetimet, do well in a feTent city,
almost from the iay they cuter it. Thia i.
the class of thoroughly capable, energetic,
temperate, thrifty mechanics, who have not
yet married. Any one of theae may drop
into the city, in March or April, of any pros
perous year, when work abounds and every
thing ia thriving, and Bnd employment at
good wages, of which he may save half if
he will. True, his expenses will overtake
hi income if he stays here until surrounded
by a swarm of children ; but why should ho
stay here so long ? If the develop qualities
which insure him a leading position and a
liberal income, he can well afford to stay.
If not. let him be off in season to have his
( . 1 1 1 I ( t l-ll .tmin.B.. I ....... 'P 1
v....u.vu mjuuiij'uuju, iu rear eons nnu )
uaugniera in narrow, crowded city quarters,
on the stinted allowance of a mere journey
man or laborer, is not to treat them fairly.
Give them air to breathe, hills to midi oer,
ana woous to frequent, so that they shall
grow up in health and vigor. The city is
hard enough ou the poor man ; it is eutirt ly
loo hard on the poor man's children. Cut
for our common schools, I would advise
them to get away, even though they had to
rua away.
But there is an innumerable multitudo of
boys, or young lawyers, clerks, journalists,
eta, who look wishfully to this city, or to
suuio uiuur great city, seeking tUerein
employment, as a stepping-stone to consid I
eraiiou, position, affluence. These I habi
tUMlly discourage, to their sore discomfort, 1
and even at the cost of invokeng their
iudignstioD, Why t I answer:
I. liecause the cities are largely over- j
peopled. There are, always, thousands
here, "willing to do ttnything,n they ay ;
which to often implies that they know how '
to tto nothiug well. Every Dew comer, of:
course lessens the chance small enough at .
best that these shall gain here a substance, j
Now, if these could be driven out to some '
purpose if they were not too old to learn a !
trade or if they hail ono already if I !
knew what they could do to their own acd
others' advantage, or where to put them I j
would not so strenuously object to the coin :
ing in of others to crowd them out of their I
last hope of earning a decent livelihood.
As it is, I must.
IL Because this is tin place in which to
learn. Living is very dear on this island. I
It costs more to lodge a person decently
here, than to board, as well as lodge him,
In a rural township. A great world known
lawyir might come hither and thrive from
the outset ; a young, undistinguished law
yer must expect to be many years working I
his way up to a business by which he may :
live in comfort. A skillful driving inechauic, j
who is (till sinitle, may generally get tin
here, but this ia no place for boy to learn
trade in, on less he has parents here who!
can support him at least for his first year. '
lie wlu can do three average lueo'a work 1
will probably go ahead here; but woe to
the youth who tomes hither hoping to lean, '
wins cteric or talesman I lie fiat scarcely
a cbanee.
III. Ia the world, at God made it, there
is room and work bur alk If one hundred
thousand new clearings should this year be
opened in tha wildoioeaa, which still covers
to large a share of our country if so many
more riwellingi should be planted on the
hitherto virgin prairie, and the plow and
cultivator set in motion around each of them
there would ba no glut la our food mar
kets ao turplua of core or cattle to go to
wast. Wheat and beef have rarely been
t'earcr (in Cflia) thaa t key are today. But
goods are tuparabaadaat altnoet every where.
Manafsetoriea ara depressed and stagnating
tor want of markets ; cities are fall of suf
fering because trade It 4ull, and because
there it very little to do. There should,
there must be a heavy migration from tha
citlet and village to the broad, free country
to the West, the South, the Rocky Moun
tains, the, grata flaiot, or wbatsvvi elsa
fields want tillage, and mines are still nn
worked, or the wilderness is yet to be sub
dued to the uses or powers harnessed to do
this bidding of civilized man.
IV. Our own country, to tay nothing of
others, lies, for the most part, untitled and
unfruitful. There are woods to be cleared
away, prniries to be fenced and broken,
dwellings to be built, swamps and marshes
to be drained, soils to be deepened, orchards
and vineyards to be planted, dams and mills
to lie constructed, and all kinds or abiding
ly useful work to be done. Little or rone
of this is walited In cities; in fucf, the cities
languish and suffer becuuaa it is not yet
done. There is soopo enough for all ener
gies, work for all hnmls, and employment
for all enpneities, In thn vn.t, unpeopled, or
far to thinly peopled, districts ot this capa
cious rfpublic,
Tue citt'-s are plethoric with population
In excess of all demand for their services
and efforts. The problem that preset for
solution is how to rcMore the equilibrium
to Piov hundreds of tliousa.iil from spots
wheie tht are in excess, and am burden
some, to regions where men and women,
willing to labor, are still badly needed. If I
can do very little toward solving this pro
blem, I will, at least, do nothing to aggra
vate its difficulties. Whatever power or in
fluence I may have fchall be exerted in favor
nf abating the pressure of population on
subsistence in our cities in favor of turn
ing the current of migration away from
pavements toward the forests, the praiiies,
the mines and the field.
LHe ot KlimiilantM.
Dr. Willard Tacker, in a receut address
before the Young Men's Christian Associa

with impunity ; a lew coffie, but not tea; a
good muny . ten, but not coffee. Tea and
coffee ued in moderation do not shoiteu
life, used in excess they do, however, pro
diicing great nervous irritability and ex
haustion. Milk nnd sugnr ought to be used with
both ten and coffee. Their nutriment np
pears to protect tho system aguinst over
stimulus.
Man will have something to drink besides
wuter. He is a drinking nnimal. The thing
required, therefore, is only that he drink
whut shall not harm him. There need be
nn quarrel with pure higcr beer and pure
liuht wines, used in moderation. California
w ins are from very sweet grapes, therefore,
fermentation ( which changes sugar into al
cohol) rank, a them strongly alcoholic and
intoxicating.
The liquors now drank are poisonous. I
hnve not seui a case of delirium Ucmens in
hospital for jears. There used to be such,
but now such patients come in crazy rav
ine; ; from thp effects, not of alcohol, but of
ailtilteruted liquors.
As between tea 11 ml coffee on one hand,
and alcohol nn tho other, a certain good
man in New York used to say that "he was
always glad to find that a young man liked
tea and coffee, because then he wns not
likely to become fond of alcohol drinks."
Again, tea and coffee retard the processes
of waste in the system, and thus enable the
two nervous systems to furnish working
power to the body for a longer tioio. Al
cohol has no snch power.
Opium-eating rapidly increases in America.
The effects of it are well known, yet its use
does not necessarily shorten life. Opium
used ss a stimulant gives very pleasurable
sensations lor the time, but these are follow
ed by a corresponding depression, a slough
of exhaustion nnd misery which continues
until tho pleasure is brought back by the
use of a little more opium than before.
The moderate ubh of tobacco does not
necessarily kill ; but it cannot be said that
the moderate ti of it ia harmless.
Perhaps tobacco is not quite so bad as
rum, but they are twin brothers, and tobac-
co makes men drink. Tobacco depresses,
and the user then craves liquor to stimulate
him. It is impossible to cure inebriate pa
tients of the use of liquor so long as they
ar allowed to use tobacco. The French
public revenue for tobacco from 1812 to lSJ'j
was annually $.1.fK)Q,0)U, of Inte years it is
$:s(i.r.00.0r,0. During the former period
there were in France at any givpn time
8.000 lunatics and paralytics, now there aio
44.000.
It will be seen that the two totals increase
in nearly an even ratio six and a half times
as much tobacco, five and a half timet as
much lunacy and paralysis. Those who
live out doors may use tobacco without
feelln't it so much ; but not men of seden
tary life. There have died in New York
with a few years three excellent clergymen,
all of whom would now be alive had they
not used tobacco. The difference iu the
operation of tobacco and alcohol is this,
while alcohol eauMct tangible changes in
certain orgaus. tobacco gradually lowers
the vital tone of tho whole system, so that
the life ends sooner thnu it oucht to,

In referring to the growing inclination on
the part of joung men, after they have
seived long and huid appn ntictehips
to acquire a Kood trade, to abandon thia
mode of making a living and to enter the
legal or medical profession, where it is sup
posed greater emoluments cso be aucured
and larger honors won, a cotemporary well
observe that in nineteen cases out of twenty
siich ventures are failure, for two reasons:
first, tho profession require peculiar talent
and the most thorough education. As a
rule, apprenticea to the trades have neither
the time nor the meant to acquire this edu
cation. Hence, when a mechuuic at the end
of his apprenticeship aspires to nnd enters
any one of the professions, he does so at a
great disadvantage. He n.ny be a fluent
speaker, know how to arnue a point in a
debating society or harangue a crowd at a
ward meeting, out sucli talents d. not fit
him for the legal profession, lie may know
how to extruct a splinter from ,m ,,wn
hand, how to make a salve, how to mix a
powder or administer a pill, but all this,
while it miuht qualify him as a uood nurae.
docs not til him for the medical profession.
The fucf is, tlii'l young men who abandon
their trades are templed to do so by a teeling
of false ptidu, erroneously imagining there
is no honor to be secured in a pursuit of the
mechanical arts. History proves the fallacy
of such suppositions.
The brightest names which now adorn
the annals of all countries are of tho best
mechanics who have blessed maukind with
the productions of their genius. All that is
'leautiful and grand is the result of im
provement in mechanics. The pendulum,
the main spring, tho barometer, ihermome
ter, printing press, sleutii engine, locomo
tive, aewinu machine, telescope all, all ure
tho result of inei'hmiieh' art, making tlo"
famous who produce them, and tho people
great who adopted them.
A good mechanic w ho becomes a pettifog.
;er or quack, merely because he is too proud
to work nt his trade, is, indeed, a pi 'i In I ob
ject. A man of the right mental balance,
who has proper mental form, with the ne
cessary independt-nce, will win as much
honor and as fair a living iu the truth's as
in the profession; indeed, mi indifferent
lawyer or ilocter lackim briefs or paiients
is always a mi-nuMe lu-ini;. a bail example
in the community. Let our young me
chanics, then, become ambitious in their
own vocation. If they diunify their trades
by becoming proficient therein, the trades
will dignify them with the highest honors.
If mechanics pursue their business witli
a purpose to self improvement therein, and
not merely to hammer and file and saw, but
to improve the art, to develop something
new therein, the mind will be strengthened
as the arm becomes muscular, and the
heart of the mecliHtiir! will be made to swell
with as true a pride as ever glowed beneath
the doublet of a prince. Will the young
mechanic think r,f these truths 1
Extra VAGAKCR in Men.- There are lots
of young men with whotn the epemliog of
money is a positive disease. They constantly
demonstrate the truth of tho familiar pro
verb. There is a sort of fatal profusion in
thoir habits. Women are accuaed verv un
fairly of being over extravagant. As a rule,
men are far more so, and the account fttrninst
them is principally due to thoso who fritter
everything they gain or sell in numberless
and nameless trifles. A worn nr. has a natu
ral title to being well clad, to being, indeed,
clad so ss VJ make the most of her appear
anco. Sho has a sense for jewelry. To
deny the ornaments is to stifle a genuine
and reasonable instinct. But a man who
parts with a considerable portion of his in
come in order to comply with every freak
of his tailor, and who really seems to have
outy used his brains upon the patterns of
neck ties, is ono of the most pitiable crea
tures alive. A gentleman ouuht to be cor
rectly and neatly dressed. There is some
thins revolting, as well as startling, in the
style in which Ihn unfortunate London cad
turns nut to air himself on the tops of the
omnibusses and on the penny steamboat on
Sunday. Still, the extremes meet. The
cad is not, in all probability, a greater jack- j
aas than the person he mimics. He is also
extravngant in his own miserable way. He
hnd itiven mote than he can afford for his
embroidered shirt front, and all the rest of
his vile paraphernalia.
A TotciiiMj Stout The following
beautiful story was reluted by Dr. Schnebly,
ol Maryland, at a meeting held in New
York, to hear the experience uf twenty te
formed drunkards:
A drunkard who Lad run through bis
'propertv returned one night to hisuufur
nistied home. He entered his empty hall
with anguish gnawing at bis heart airings,
and laughiug was inadequate to express his
agony as he entered his wife's apartment,
and there beheld the victims of bis appetite,
his loving wife and u darling child. Morose
and sullen, he seated himself without sv
iug a word; lie could not speak be couid
not look upon them. The mother said to
the little angel at her side, ''Come my child,
it is time logo to ld and that little
bal y, as she was wont, knelt by her mother'
lap, and gnziug wistfully iuto the face of
her fcunering parent, like a piece or chiselled
statuary, slow ly repented her nightly orison.
When she bad finished, the child (but four
year nf age) said to her mother: "Dear
mother, muy I not offer up one more prayer"
"Ye, yes, my tweet pet, pray;" and she
lifted up her tiny hands, closed her eves
aud prayed : "O God 1 spare, oh I tpare
rat dear papa I" That prayer was watted
with electric rapidity to the throne of Ood.
It wa heard on hiuh it was heard on
earth. The response "Amen burst from
the father's lip and hi heart nf atone be
came a heart of flesh. Wile and child were
both clasped to his bosom, an.d in penitence
he said ; "My child ! you have saved your

THR COM FIELD.
The corn crop Is of chief and earliest It
is trt be pruuined that the ground ha been
deeply, thoroughly plowed, and that harrow
and roller have done. their work of so lajing
tho over turned sod that it will not keep
growing at every gsping seam, but wili die
and rot as it should, to fnlfill the ends of
turning. This having been done, and the
ground really put into order for planting
before planting, it will be no hrd work to
follow up the "needful cultivation In time to
lay tho crop by before harvest, and to fulfill
all the conditions of a very large product.
Let this Ixi kept it, view from the start to
finish' the corn-working by Wheat harvest,
and this being made sure, plant close enough
to get as many stalks as are neceseary to a
crop of ten or twelve barrel per acre ; that
is, hills of two stalk not farther apart than
three and a half feet each wy.
rOTATOKS.
It 1 very customary to plant tbe main
crop of potatoes in this month, and bad
custom it is. The early crop should have
j been planted in March, and the late cron I
early enough planted by 20th June. Sod
ground is the surpst for a crop, and if well
j manured last fall on the surface tho better ;
it is through by many growers that freshly
applied manures tho tendency to rot. In
this month give the ground dep plowing
if it has not had it, and get in hand tueh
fertilizers as you may need and a sufficiency
j of seed for planting. The new varieties,
such as Goodrich. Harriaon, Monitor, &c,
have ns vet rstMed the rt and yield wpII.
Thev should be preferred to all sorts where
a profitable crop is wanted
nnr.T cnor.
I AH root crops, exeent the turnip, thnnld
be planted this month. As all are great
feeders and need an abundant fupply of well
prepared food to make a full crop, the
necesgitv of manuring amply is apparent.
! Deep plowing and fine preparation of the
; ground is necessary. The most profitable
, crop to cultivate la the large sugar beet, but
j the parsnip is estimated highly as food for
J butter-making cow and the carrot for
' horsps. While the rnta baga or yellow
j Swedish turnip is of less value in quality
than either of those root, yet the late pe
j riod at which a crop may "lie innde. s ing
as Into as first of August, and the heavy
product, combine to make it peihap the
most valuable of roof crops.
I Tllft FIELD PEA.
Tho Indian oe. or corn field pea. as It is
familisrly called, is a very valuable crop for
many purposes. As an improver of poor
land, it. is, for very light soils, more valuable
tbnn clover, and for this purpose should ha
sown broadcast from the middle of May (in
this latitude) to 1st June, at. the rate of one
and a half to two bushels to the ncr8. Much
les seed will answer the purpose if sown in
tlril! eighteen inches apart Both the vine
and pea make vnlui'ile fond for milch cows,
and hogs may bo profitable fattened on tho
pea. All the varieties are valuable, the
common black-eyed, the black, the clay col
ored ; but the best for table use is the small
black eyed, called the "lady pea."
To Boil Corned Beef. Wash it thor-'
