THE FLOWER.
BTJOHSSY.
O, the charms, the charms that Nature has !"
Behold the beautiful flower! These were
the words which were almost unconsciously
poken as I was one day walking along a well
beaten path in a musing mood. My eye had
caught sight of a beautiful boqnet, which had
been formed by the delicate and tasteful hand
f nature. Hard by the wayside it stodd, in
the open wood. It looked so lovely, so charm
ing, that it was almost impossible to resist the
temptation of stopping to feast one's eyesight
on its rare bcanty. I looked around, and, lo !
It seemed companionless. No others of its
own kind graced the lonely spot. I said, a
lone, all alone ; but catching myself, as a
Toice seemed to whisper, 'my companions are
the shrubbery of the fields of na!ure and the
tall oaks of the forest." The rock-oak, which
had mocked the rage of many a wintery storm,
waved gently in the summer breeze, above its
head. The pines of the surrounding hillocks
ung in low, sweet, plaintive notes, as the
wind passed through their branches. The
place seemed to be pervaded by an air of peace-
lulness. The sun, from his noonday throne,
strove vainly to look through the thick foliage
which overshadowed this small flower. It was
abut out from the smile of "the king of day,
except when the passing breeze would form a
crevice in the branches of the trees. I stood
and gazed upon it till consciousness of ray
long lingering bid me resume my journey.
Months have been numbered with the past
incc I beheld this pleasing sight, yet while I
sit penning these lines, that scene is pictured
vividly before my imagination. In vain have
. I strove to banish it from my mind. If ever
the busy carts of life banish it from my vision,
itill in the hours of relaxation, in the mo
ments of vacant or wild musings, the lovely
flower which grew on the side of the hill and
which I saw that day, rises with my thoughts,
catches my roving mind, and seems to sweetly
woo'my wanderings to quiet repose. Metbinss
I can see it !
O, lovely flower how oft dost thou steal into
my silent musings, and compose my feelings
with thy imaginary presence ; and ask me to
pass upon thee a few moments of thoughtful
Bess! Aye, and I have not been dumb to thy
voice. Thou hast taught me a useful lesson.
Long may I remember it. Thou hast taught
mo to be contented in my humble state. Read
er, learn the same. And while I see others
rising high around me, as did the tall oaks a
round the modest flower, may I content my
self with simplicity, humility, and purity.
"While others become mighty "and spread
themselves as the green bay tree," may I have
no other attainments than modest worth. Then
If I rise I will rise worthily. If I fall as I am
my fall will not I e so great. The storms of
life cannot take such hold on me if I am low
and destitute of blanches. And though I can
not see the Sun of light and 'ife face to face,
yet I can feci his benignant influence npon
my heart, which will give impulse to my life,
and be of more worth than all the pomp and
show of this vain world which shall soon be
wrapped in flames with all its glory.

AGRICULTURAL.
C0B5 axd Hogs. From carefully conduct
ed experiments by different persons, it has
been ascertained that one bushel of corn will
make a little over lOi pounds of pork gross.
Taking the result as a basis, the following
duductions are made, which all our farmers
could do well to lay by for a convenient re
ference That:
When corn costs 12 1 cent s per bushels, pork
costs 1 , cents per pound.
When corn costs 17 cents per bushel, pork
costs 2 cents p?r pound.
When corn costs 25 cents per bushel, pork
costs 3 cents per pound.
When corn costs 33 cents per bushel, pork
costs 4 cents per pound.
When corn costs 50 cents per bushel, pork
costs 5 cents per pound.
The following statements show what the
farmer realizes in his corn when sold in the
form of pork :
When pork sells for S cents per pound, it
brings 2-3 cents per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for 4 cents per pound, it
brings 32 cents per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for 5 cents per pound, it
' brings 43 cents per bushel in corn.
As Extensive Farmer. A correspondent
of the Silvei Creek Mirror says that Colonel
Jacob Carroll of Texas, is the largest farmer
In the United States. He owns 259,000 acres
of land, (nearly four hundred square miles,)
' in this and adjoining counties. His home
plantation contains about 8,000 acres, nearly
all valuable bottom lands, along, the Guada
lupe river. On this farm he has over six hun
dred acres in cultivation, on which he raises
annually about three hundred bales of cotton,
worth at the plantation from seventy-five to
one hundred dollars per bale, and twenty thou
sand barrels of corn, worth about one dollar
and filty cents per barrel. Ho has force ol
about fifty field hands, and he works about
sixty males and horses, and fifteen yoke of ox
en. Colonel Carroll has. on his immense ran
ges of pasture lands, about one thousand hor
ses and mules, worth $50,009 ; one thonsand
head of cattle, worth $7,000 ; six hundred
bogs, worth $2,000; three hundred Spanish
mares, worth $15,000; filty jennies, worth
$2,000 ; fifteen jacks, worth $9,000 ; and five
stallions, worth about $2,500. Colonol Car
roll's property in stock and negroes, is worth
at least $100.000 ; and the value of his landed
estate will swell to to over a half a million of
dollars. His annual income from the sale
of stock amounts to from $5,000 to $10,000
and from the sale of cotton to from $15,000
to $20,000.
Vert Near A western editor expressed
his delight at having been nearly called "hon
ey" by the gal he loves, because" she saluted
fclta u o!d beeewtx" at theft last meeting.
A "Cit" at a Deer licit. A city buck of
the Broadway order, went into the country,
and they invited him to a deer bunt. He had
seen the antlers of a deer, and had a lively
notion of venison, but he knew about as little
of the live animals as ho did about the gun
they gave him. They placed him where the
deer was to pass, and told him to fire as soon
as be saw him. lie stood and trembled. Soon
he heard the baying of the hounds, and before
long there was a cracking of bushes, and a
magnificent deer rushed by with immense ant
lers and tail erect. The city chap stood still
and trembled. The huntsmen came np, and
asked him why he did not shoot. His lips
trembled as he answered, "I saw nothing but
the devil goby with an arm chair on bis head,
and bis handkerchief sticking out behind."
An Irishman coming from the Fourth of July
considerably bewildered, and seeing the hou
ses and everything else going in a queer man
nr, concluded that the easiest way to get
quickly home was "to stand still nntil his own
door passed him, and then make a drive for it.'
An English writer says, in his advice to
young married women, that their mother,
Eve, "married a gardner." It might bead
ded that the gardner in consequence of this
match lost his situation.
"Now, look'er yer, Charlie, Jim mout be an
honest nigger, and then again he monteat, but
if 1 was a chicken, and knowed he was about
the yard, I tell yet wot, nigger, I'd roost high,
I would."
A Box being asked who was his father, re
plied, "I never had a lather, mother won me
at a raffle."
B IE dock leaf, applied externally, is said to

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, 1857-8:
The Tribune was first issued as a Daily on
the 10th of April, 1341. Its Weekly edition was
commenced in September of the same y ar ; its
Semi-Wc'ekly in May. 1S45. It was the first daily
in America to issue a double or eight-page sheet at
a low price', and it has kept at least even with the
foremost of its rivals in the rapid expansion of
Newspaper enterprise, w hich the great extension
of Railroads, and the establishment of the Tele
graph system have crowded into these last sixteen
eventful years. No larger journal is afforded at
so low a price in any quarter of the world; none
in America, no matter at what price issued, pay
an equal amount, weekly or monthly, for intellec
tual labor. It employs correspondents regularly
in the leading capitals of Europe. ar.d at the most
important points on this continent, with a liberal
staff of writers and reporters at home, regarding
full, early and accurate information as the first ob
ject of a Newspaper, and the timely and thorough
elucidation thereof as the chief end of its Edito
rials. In that spirit, '-The Trioune:l has been and
will be conducted, extending and perfecting its
correspondence so fast as the increase of its pa
tronage will justify the expense. Should the ear
rent attempt to connect the Old with tke NewWorld
by the magnetic wire prove successful. we shall ve
ry soon, at a heavy cost to ourselves and, we trust,
a corresponding advantage to our readers publish
each morning a synopsis of the preceeding day's
occurrences throughout Europe, Northern Africa
and Western Asia, with regular reports of the mar
kets, the monetary aspects and harvest prospects
of hither Europe. With a good atlas beside him
and his daily paper on his fireside table, the A.
merican farmer or artisan within a day's ride of
the city may then study each evening the doings
of the civilized world throughout the day preced
ing; and it seems hardly possible that any who
caa read, but especially one who has children to
educate, will longer deny himself the pleasure and
profit of a daily journal. The same is true mea
surably of those who live further inland : though,
where mails are infrequent, a Semi-W eekly, or o
ven a Weekly, may seem sufficient.
The Tribune doalg wi'.h questions of Political
Economy, Public Policy, Ethics. Material Progress
and whatever may affect the Intellectual, Moral,
Social and Physical well be. Eg of mankind, dog
matic Theology alone excepted. Its lending idea
is the honoring of honest useful Work in whatever
si here or capacity, and the consequent elevation
of the Laboring class in knowledge, virtue and
general esteem. It is necessarily hostile to Slave
ry under all its aspects, to Intemperance in what
ever form or degree with its accessories, to War
save in the defense of Country and Liberty against
actual invasion, and to every form of Gambling.
Desiring to see Production extended and encour
aged, while wild Speculation and useless Traffic
are curtailed, it favors the policy of sustaining and
diversifying Home Industry by a discriminating
Tariff a policy which tends to increase the price
of Grain to the farmer while diminishing that of
Bread to the artisan, by reducing the distance a
cross which their respective products are exchang
ed and. of course, reducing the cost of their trans
far. Regarding Fillibustcrism in all its phases,
and every form and device of National covetous
ncss, with unqualified abhorrence as the banc of
Republics and in their triumph the grave of Equal
Human Kigbts. we seek by every means to woo
and win the attention of our countrymen from pro
jects of aggrandizement abroad to enterprises of
developenient and beneficence at home, foremost
among which we rank a Railroad through the
heart ot our territory to connect the waters of the
Atlantic with those of the Pacific. Believing that
the goods of this life arc not yet fairly distributed,
and that no one ready"! o work should ever famish
in unwitting idleness, it lends an open ear to eve
ry suggestion of Social improvement which does
not countervail the dictates of eternal Morality
nor war upon that natural right of every one to
whatsoever he has fairly produced or honestly ac
quired, wbo3e denial must (ink mankind into the
chaos and night of barbarism and universal squal
or. With a profound consciousness that idlers,
drunkards, libertines and profligates can never be
other (in the main) than needy and wretched, it
bean aloft the great truth that Prevention is bet
ter than Punishment that the ch ild trained up in
the way ho should go. will rarely in afir years
desert that way for the thorny paths of Vice and
Crime that a true education Religious,' Moral
and Industrial as well as Intellectual is the most
effective temporal antidote to the errors and woes
of our race. Recognizing in the nio-t degraded
specimen of Humanity a divine spark which should
be reverently cherished, not rutu'.cssiy trodden
out. wc have charity for all forms of evil but those
which seek personal advantage through the de
basement of our fellow-beings. The champion of
no class or caste, the devotee of no sect, we would
fain be the interpreter to each other of men's bet
ter nanu ses and aspirations, the harbinger of
general concord between Labor and Capital, and
among those whom circumstances or misapprehen
sions hnAe thrown into unnatural antagonism. A
cotemporary once observed that he never knew a
ham. Kraspinqj, niggardly employer wno uia not
hate '1 he iiibune, nor a generous, large-souled,
kindly one, willing to live and let live, who did
not like it. We ask no higher praise, no warmer
attestation
The escalation of The Tribune is nt this time
as follows : Daily, 32.000 copies; Weekly, 176.800
copies: fceini-w eekly, lb.oun copies; California
and European, b,0OU copies; lotul, z..u,UU copies.
That of the Semi-Weekly and Weekly we believe
to be execeded by no other newspaper published
in the world ; that of the Daily falls behind that
of sonic of our cotcmporaries. Hail our hostility
to Human Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been
more guarded and politic, our Daily issues would
now be some thousauds heavier and our Advertis
ing far more lucrative ; but of 'our patronage gen
erally we have no reason, no wish, to complain.
Of late, a concerted effort has been made to di
minish our rural circulation through the influence
of the Postmasters, some of whom embark in it
eagerly, others under political restraint, whilo a
large number, we are happy, for the sake Human
Nature, to state, refuse to be dragooned into it at
all Still, we have been made to feel the heavy
hand of Power, and have doubtless lost thousands
of subscribers inconsequence. Pretexts to which
no individual in his private capacity would have
stooped have been relied on to justify the stoppage
of our papers within reach of their subscribers and
rightful owners, and their retention in the Post
Office till their value was destroyed. Postmasters
have been schooled by rival journals several of
them living on their self-proclaimed ability to
serve as an antidote to The Tribune as to their
political duty to promote at our expense the dis
semmination of gazettes of adverse politics. We
shall outlive this warfare, hut wo do not affect in
difference to it. In the open field of discussion,
we fear nothing; but in the tens of thousands of
rural neighborhoods where the Posra aster can in
duce many of his quiet neighbors to take the jour
nal he rccommcuifs.we have already lost some pa
trons, and expect to lose more as our subscriptions
for this year expire. We appeal, therefore, to the
hearty, faithful, fearless advocates of Free Labor
and Free Soil throughout the land to take care
that this official warfare on our circulation be not
prosecuted wiihout counteraction. Wc employ no
travelling agents, for we will not consent to have
the publi: harrassed with the solicitations of stran
gers in our behalf Westriko the naino of each
subscriber to our Weekly and Semi-Weekly from
our books as soon as his term has expired, for we
will not haunt our patrons with duns for arrears
which they may say they never intended to incur,
for papers which perhaps they never read ; we ror
ly for the renewal of our subscriptions solely on
the volunteered efforts of those who. likins our na-
per, believe its influence salutary and worthy to
oeexienueu; ana thus tar our reliance haa been
justifiod. as we trust it may continue to be.
