I love, in the twilight hour, when all
is calm and peaceful, to disengage myself
from the busy scenes of this world of din
and noise, and hold sweet communion
with the sleeping tenants of the grave.—
I love to wander amid the tombs, and read
upon the lettered stone or sculptured mar
ble, the epitaph of those who have 4.shof
fled off this mortal °oil," and laid them
down "to pleasant dreams." There sleep
in unbroken slumbers and peaceful repose,
infancy in its bud, youth in its bloom,
manhood in its vigor, and old age in its
infirmity. There repose the friends and
companions of our youth, with whom we
were wont to spend the halcyon days of
our boyhood. There, too, are sleeping
the remains of a pious mother, or a loved
father, who, in the wayward hour of infan
cy, when we were tempted to leave the
path of rectitude, taught us to pray, and
prepare for heaven ; and wlio, amid the
last pangs of dissolving mortality, bade us
meet them in that happy country, where
1 3icknesa, sorrow, pain and death,
Are kit and aimed no more.
I love to see the bell-flower, affection's
appropriate emblem, bloom in grateful
fragrance and 'attractive loveliness firer
the sacred spot that marks the resting
place of the loved and beautiful—the pi
ous and good of other days. I love, like
my blessed Redeemer, to shed the tear of
sympathy and affection over the turfrclad
mound : for in the touching and sublime
words of scripture, we are told—.4seus
weer "
I love to visit the grave-yard, because
In a few days, or years, at farthest, it will
be the receptacle of this cumbersome clay
—this earthly tabernacle, which has so
long been heir to a thousand nameless ills
and sorrows. I love the grave because it
is a place of race. There nothing shall
mar our slumbers or disturb our repose.
**There the wicked cease to trouble, and
the weary are at rest." Well may Job,
in prospect of rest in the grave, exclaim,
"I would not live always ;" and the Psal
mist, "Oh that I had wings like a dove,
then would I flee away, and be at rest."
"Thera is a calm for those that weep.
A rem for weary pilgrims found,
They way lie, and sweetly leap
Low in the ground.
The dorm that wrecks the wintry sky,
No more disturb' their sweet repo*"
Than summer evening's latest sigh
That shuts the rose."
But the grave is not the finale of man.
He is destined to rise in triumph from its
portals, and claim an affinity of being be
yond that starry realm. ••Beho;d I will
j show you a mystery. we shall not all sleep,
but we shall be changed in a moment. in

Death-bed Ikeneg.
There is np place in this world like a
deathbed. There is no scene on earth so
full of solemn and momentous interest. and
around which gathers such an assemblage
of affected impressions. The deith-bed
is the last stage of human journeying to
the world of spirits. The minds of men
approach that last of human travel with re
luctant dread. From the 'ileath-bed the
eye growl dim, the world recedes, the vis
ion changes, and the dark, gloomy twilight
of life's last evening, settles down on all
things here below. The death-bed is to

The .glorious fourth", having just pas
sed by, the following extract of a letter
from Thomas Mllean, who was a repre-
I sentatives in the Independence Congress.
from Delaware, giving an account of the
Baal voting on the Declaration, will be
read with interest : •
On Monday, the first day of July, 171 e,
the arguments in Congress for and against
the Declaration of Independence having
been exhausted, and the measure fully con
sidereal, the Congress resolved itself into
a Committee of the Whole; the question
was put by the Chairman, and all the
States voted in the affirmative, except
Pennsylvania, which was in the negative,
and Delaware which was equally divided.
Pennylvania at that time had seven mem
ber, viz ; John Morton, Benjamin Frank
lin, James Wilson, John Dickinson, Rob
ert Morris, Thomas Willing, and Charles
Humphreyi. All were present on the
first of July, and the three first named
voted for, the Declaration of Indepen
dence, the remaining four against it. The
State of Delaware had. three members,
Caesar Rodney, George Read, and myself.
George Read and I were present. I voted
for it; George Read against it. When
the President reached the chair, the chair.
man of the committee of the whole made
his report, which was not acted upon until
Thursday, the fourth day of July. In the
mean lime, I had written to press the at.
tendance of Caesar, Rodney, the third del
egate from Delaware, who appeared early
on that day at the State House in his
place. When the Congress assembled,
the question was put on the report of the
committee of the whole, and approved by
every State. Of the members from Penn"-
sylvania, the three first, as above, voted in
the affirmative, and the two last in the
negative. John Dickinson and Robert
Morris were present, and did not take
their seats on that day. Ciesar Rodney,
for the State of Delaware, voted with me
in the affirmative, and George Read in
the negative."
It was about two o'clock in the after
noon before the final decision was annouti
ced by Mr. Thompson, the Secretary.---
The annunciation was heard in silence by
the august assembly.
Tradition says that it was first broken
by Dr. Franklin, who remarked, "Gentle
men, we must now all hang together. or
we shall surely all hang separately."--
Tflow,,,,ods of anxious citizens had gather.
ed in the streets of Philadelphia, for it
was known that the final vote would be
taken on that day: From the hour w hen
Congress convened in the morning, the
old bell man had been in the steeple. He
I had placed a boy at the door below , to
give him notice when the announcement
should be made. As hour succeeded
hour, the greybeard shook his head, and
said, “They will never do' it I they will
never do it !" Soddenly a loud shout
came up from below, and there stood the
little blue-eyed boy clapping his hands
and shouting, "Ring ! Ring !" Grasping
the iron tongs of the old bell, backward
and forward he hurled it a hundred times.

Illarly Pau ing.
We quote from “Household Words"
the following arguments and examples in
ravor of early rising. Speaking of illustri
ous early risen, we may as well mention
that we have recently - become an early ris
er--in the abstract. Early rising on pa
per. is well enough. The theory is a beau
tiful one, but the practical application is
quite the .irewarse," and exemplies the
weakness of the flesh contrasted with the
willingness of the spirit :
"Whatever may be the quantity of sleep
required, early rising is essential to health,
and promotes longevity. Almost aU men
who have distinguished themselves in
science, literature and the arts, have been,
as Mr. Mannish states, early risers.. The
industrioni, the active-minded, the enthu
siast in pursuit of knowledge or gain. are
up betimes at their respective occupations,
while the sluggard wastes the most beauti
ful period of- life in pernicious slumber.— I
Homer, Virgil and Horace, are all repre
sented as early risers ; the same was the,
case with Paley, Franklin, Priestly, Park
burst and Bufron ; the last of whom order
ed his servants to.awaken him every morn
ing and compel him to get up by force if
hb evinced any reluctance, for which ser
vice he was rewarded with ii crown each
day, which recompense , he forfeited if he
did not obligor his master to get out of bed
before the clock struck six.
Bishops Jewel and . Burnet rose every
morning at four o'clock. Sir Thomas
Moore did the same thing. Napoleon was
an early riser, so was Frederick the 12th;
so is her present majesty. (Victoria ;) and
so are almost all the nobility in attendance
at the court. That early rising tends to pro
long life, appears to be clearly proved.—
One of our moat eminent judges, Lord
Mansfield, was at the pains of collecting
some curious evidence on this subject._
When he presided in his judicial capacity
over the court, he questioned every old
person who appeared at the bar, respect
ing his habits. "What age are you r"—
"What sort of life have you led—often
Trunk, eh ?" "Please God," answered a
man, upwards of ninety, "I have seldom
gone to bed sober," ...a, in fact, it turned
out that %Ink some of these veterans plead
ed guilty to habitual intemperance, and oth
ers on the contrary attested their uniform
sobriety all agreed on one point—that of
having been early risers."
Usefulness is confined to no station, and
it is astonishing how much good may be
done, and what may be effected by limited
means, united with benevolence of heart
and activity of mind.

In the 16th eentury, distilled spirits

A correspondent of the New York Tri
bune sends the editor a drawing of Paul
Jones's flag of the Revolution, and says :
send you a hasty drawing of the flag
of Paul Jones which he first hoisted with
his own hands, on board the American
frigate Alfred, 40-guns, off Chestnut street
Wharf, Philadelphia. Oct. 10. 1776, un
der a salute of 13 guns. While on this
subject it is well to observe, for the bene
fit of your very numerous readers and the
public, that. Paul Jones sailed in triumph
over the seas with this flag flying from his
main royal, and after the capture of the,
British frigate Serapis (his own ship sink.
ing under him), in a bloody action of six
hours, the vessels lashed together and col
ors nailed to the mast, he arrived in Tex
el. Holland, with his prize. Here he was
blockaded by a British fleet from the
Downs, of 21 sail of line of battle ships, to I
prevent the daring and intrepid hero from
leaving his anchorage; hot Jones deter
mined not to be idle, changed his flag from
the prize, the Serapis, and hoisted the ban
ner of freedom on the American frigate Al
liance, then in Texel. determined at every
hazard to run the gauntlet in defiance of t
the immense fleet waiting to capture him,
for whose head Britain had offered a re
ward of 10,000 guineas.
_ Having his frigate in fine trim, and a
gallant crew, he waited for a crack breeze
to dart through the enemy. Ills topsails
were double reefed, and it was blowing a
gale direct seaward ; he took his stand by
the helmsman, and bore down direct for
Ith centre of the British fleet, where the
stl4ral's flag was seen flying, who, sup
posing Jones intended coining under his
lee and surrendbring, awaited his approach
lin silence. while every eye in the great
fleet was gazing intently to see the daring
hero a prisoner, one who had captured sn
litany ships and squadrons in so short a
time, and a terror to all the English coast.
But Jones, in his dashing frigate, com
ing within cannon shot of the admiral's
ship, gave the signal-for his noble orew,
and as if by magic, and in defiance of the
gale, the ship was covered with canvas,
and careening to the gale dashed onward,
and in paorsing the astonished admiral, gave
him a full broadside. Onward his ship
went with lightning speed, receiving and
delivering broadsides as he passed through
the wffole fleet, without the loos of a man or
a spar. Thelleet pursued,butJones knew
his ship and soon distanced the whole,
pushing, his course for Brest, in France.
While in the channel 1w captured two val.
- thibteiprlstes bound for London, and with
them arrived sore into port with his flag of
18 stripes, to the mortification of the En
glish fleet."

Being in England in. 1775, he was

some of these farms sent certificates of me

in proportion. Another (a member of the =I
house of Assembly) represented that ono
piece of ground in Passaic county, which , ;
has been considered of very inferior quail-
ty, and unworthy of cultivation for corn, he
r hnd raised, b" adding the missing constilL'

and that his crop of long orange carrot/
veraged 000 bushels per acre, and that the
expenses for fertilization were leis thin
for the ordinary method by barn-yard-ma-'
wring.
"Another farmer from Monmouth coon,
ty, represented that by the use of the sub
soil plow, under a recommendation con
tained in one of our lecture., on a field
of twenty acres, and by the application of
a decomposed bog on another field of sim-. -
ilar size, he had increased his corn crop
on both from 20 to 25 per cent.
"Another firmer of Freehold, represen. -
ted that he had raised between 4.000 until
5,000 cabbages on half an acre, and at the
price at which he had made sales, the re-, ,
turns were at the rate of from $4OO to $5OO
per acre. This land was thrown into a
garden heat at ono operation, and the land
left in so improved a condition after the
cabbage crop, as to be benefitted for., fu- •
lure crops more than the whole cost of fer
tilizers used for cabbage.
"Many other farmers reported large -
crops resulting from our advice, and from
some neighborhoods large numbers signed
statements that the whole crop of the town. ;
snip had been materially increased by our
efforts. It was also shown to the Legisla

"Some members could not believe that

and they were right. We do not claim.
any such credit, but simply that we have
put in practice what is well known to few
among the many. We often hear of large
crops raised by individuals, whose neigh
hors produce no such results. In such cases,
we visit the growers, and find out. if prac
ticable, their methods, manures, &c.. and
then, by analysis of the soil, compared
with that of the crop, enable them to.
produce similar [-milts. We claim no o•
riginality, but merely with the assistance
of chemistry, to be enabled to duplicate,
on any soil containing a fair average
of constituents, the same results which
may have been produced on any other
soil—all of which may be done by ad
ding the missing constituents to the soils
with such cultivation as the peculiarities
of the crop, mechanical condition of the

Why do you pot Ashes on Corn?
The above question was put to as the ,
other day by a farmer, who stated that
several years ago he applied ashes to a
geld of corn, and it seemed to increase
the crop wonderfully. Last year he Nu&
eir his corn, on another field, and it did
not appear to do any good.
We put ashes on corn to supply the
crop with potash.
Corn requires a pretty large proportion ,
of potash to form the kernel. Hence one
reason wily we generally get such good
crops on "burnt ground." as the near
clearings are called. When the soil does
not contain potash sufficient for the corn
crop
rp. the application of ashes is of great ,
use to it. If there is already a sufficient
supply of potash in the soil, the applies.'
tion of ashes does not manifest any hen&
fiend, effects. This was probably the
case with our friend's soil. The first
field was undoubtedly deficient in potash
and hence the good effect of ashes.
