Out of the lowest annnirat beds,
And then, when frosty day set in,
Put Ihem loge'her in tire bin,
Now let your barrel be prep.ired.
All water tight and nicety aired,
And four weeka ere the christma come
Go down among the Bi-rgen druma ;'

Don't fling a single one away;

'Many a mess of sprouts they'll bring.

Finds there is qn'ne enough to make
A good deep layer for the tirake

Of sour krout making is the art
Hy which we all avoid (he fault
Of too hard pounding too much salt.
As to the salt three pints is what
We to a hundred beads allot ;
liut vulgar minds, who love to drink,
After aour-Tiroui dinnerthink
A peck of salt will scarcely do
To saturate the barrel through.
Now when you have a layer in,
Sprinkle the a ill evenly, but thin j
Then gently pound away, flop
Until the layers hnve reached the top ;
Over this stretch a stronn white cloth,
Four douhle, to receive the froth,
Acrowe thin put two ot'rks wh-cb done,
Lay down a heavy, brond fl it ttotie,
Put a cover upon the head,
Then eat your supper and go to bed.
In a few dnys the pickle rive,
Which the experienced eye apprises,
(As well by this as by the smell)
That fermentntion goes on well.
On Christmas morn the good vrow goes,
(She only hs to follow her no-.)
Amed with cte.m hands and earthea pan,
With tub of water in the van.
First she skims off the thick white froth.
Then throws the stone and aiicks and cluth,
Into the tub her re.idy hand,
Drags up the golJen treasure and
Fills up the diMi.unaringly,
Foi hungry folk enough there'll be.
And now she nicely washes out
The cloth which lay upon the krout,
Aa well a sticks arid on-e ; and then,
tshe covers up the cak again.
This process she gora through each day.
When a krout dinner comes in play.
Now comes the important part at last,
To in.uie a genuine rich lepust,
First goes the sour-kroul in the pot,
And in the tnklJI" of Ihe lot
A g'MJilly piece of pork aiper.
Parboiled the day before. She fear
The mess will be to salt. And now
In goea four pounds of beef I vow

The following notes addressed, to Ltcatcnnnt
Wallace, was inserted in the Hurrifbiirg Tele
grapli, of the CUJi inst. Road it carefully :
'IlARRisntRe, Nov. 2, 1842.
LiEtTKNANT Waiaaib By puhlisliing the
following 'Advice' to young men, accompanied
by your comments upon it, you would much o
bige me of your readers, i think I know your
sentiments too weV to suppose that yu con
cur with tlw 'Star.' A woman ol worth will
not, liowever warmly site may rove, bestow her
hand upon man unsought i and at times for
the purpose of testing the sincerity of that love
which eceka her hand, she may wni to rcfoso,
llrough her Iwart reproaches her lor so doing.
Is not a woman under such circumstances ex
cusable ? nod wouW nota man who truly love!
renew his iit ! Men are altogether too sen
sitive on this point, and appear perfectly dis
heartened at the least obstacle that opposes
them. Tlrey consider lite 'sack' as they
term it the worst thing in the world, and no
sooner do they hear of it, than they 'instantly
give up in despair, or turn upon their heels,
crying 'JVc cntrhed it? 'Tve cctchvdU?
Should you be unable to come to a conclu
sion upon it, be good enough to refer it to your
cousin of the Lycoming Gazette.
"With die greatest respect for you, itc.
MARIA."
Subjoined is the "Advice'" alluded lo. It is
copied from the Richmond Star ;
"Aiivif-E. If you ns a gal to have you, and
siie says 'no,' don't for rrracious sake ask her
again. II you io, siie might twit you auout it,
when you growl because the toast r Jmrned
ami the coffee tanf. Take our word for it, if
you aint worth snapping up, reasonably quick,
you had better open shop at some other place.
We know it strains one's giziard, awfully, to
want a pretty lump of human flesh, for which
the spirit burns but then, hang it man, you
must grin and endure it, if she don't sigh right
off when you squeeze lier fist, and blush, ver
million deep, her slammcring consent Beg t
man to give you a cast-off shirt, but never beg
a woman to pick you up, like an old stick
IVon't go in for compassion but strike for the
hearing, wheezing, glorious, extatic delight of
true Love, and not a peg leas. Them our re
marks on the subject"
The Ilarribburg Telegraph comments on 1ic
above after this toshion :
"We fully concur with the fair 'Maria1 that
Corporal Streetcr, of the Star is wrong and
that a woman that jumps at the ofler, as if it
was the fir.-1 and the last cliiinco she expected
ever to have, wot.ld not give to the gentleman
the pleasure he would roaliec from a hard
chase. A ho, if a gentleman gives u the suit
upon being rebuffed, by a hesitating, unwilling
refusal, he is not worthy of the hand and heart
of a spirited, sensible woman. But our judg'
ment is fallible, and we turn the subject over
to the serious consideration of Colonel Carter
of the Lycoming Gazette, agreeing to take his
judgment as law incontrovertible on this point.
Our experience has been quite loo limited to
set our judgment on such a ipteslion."
As this important subject islelltoour seri
ous consideration no appeal to he taken we
shall treat it with all the dignity and delicacy
it demands.
Girls are queer little animals angcU, V.'e I

intended to have said ; and we love 'erv, all, i.;i
spile of their faults, folly, and flitting. We
have "popped the question" at lea a dozen
times ; and a doaen tiir.es hn.vc we been re
fused. Theso Ircouent verses have not en
gendered a feeling rf jCf . anj) Grange as
it may sound, vrC are 01, as 1KXi terms with our-
se' as cvjr. We rather attribute this want
r'
of eticcess to a waul of taste and discernment
on the part of certain fair ones; and dark as
the prospect now is, we entertain a faint hope
that perhaps at some distant, distant day, wc
may yet woo and win some young, middle aged
or even old lady, worthy of our small means but
extensive prospects j worthy of our high stand-
irt, (six feet in our socks,) and worthy of thoe
graces of mind and person, w hich we are sup
posed by many to possess. But this is an epi-
ale only indulged in, to show our dear 'Ma
ria," that the decision of this momentous ques
tion has been left to a person who has had
some experience in the wayward, strange,
queer, puzzling, niovoking, perplexing, mcom
prehciwible, and capricious w ays of lovely wo
man! Now, to the text.
If a gentleman should meet w ith a repulse
a refusal it is w holly and solely his ow n fault
It is in his power to ascertain the state of the
lady's hidings, before he "unbosoms" himself.
But how 1 Of course, the will never make a
tender confession in tender words or tender
looks. O, no! She will e every little ar
tifice to convince him that she tlis's not fre
two straws for him ; W if she r'y loves, ho
betrays the exii-teu: j lMl. tender paasion in
u huuiit1 1'lft rt-nt ways in the pictencr of the
"dear 01x1.'' If sire meets the "object' in the
street, she tries to look cold and composed ; but
blushes to lrcT temples. If they should be left
alone, and are in close proximity, they become
excruciatingly embarrassed ; have a sort of
choking sensation about the throat trembling
of limbs faltering of words changing of co
lor, &c, A:o. If he admires any peculiar modo
ot wearing the hair any particular stylo of
dress, he will discover that she innocently and
unconsoionsly enough accommodates herself
to his tamy. Ii on entering the room, she is
the last to looTt up, trra last to greet his ap
proach, he may set it down as a very favorable
symptom, Wc might go on, adding other fa
vorable symptoms, ad infinilem ; but we have
famished enough for all useful purposes.
If, then, a gentleman finds a lady in the state
which we have attempted to describe he may J
propose with perfect safely. lie must be care
ful as to time and place. The season of sun
shineottd flowers -is th lime -when mountain
and hill, plain and valley, are clothed in the
richest verdure when the birds caroll forth
their songs of joy and ldvc---when the balmy
winds of the Sooth give co!o to the check, and
life to the 6tep when the sweet mrmurmg
of the running brook breaks upon The siletice
of the forest when the rosy goddess of the
morn bathes the smiling landscape in one
stream of golden effulgence when the eyes
become soft, tender, and dewy, and fhe lowing
f herds proclaim the close of day when each
field speaks of joy and plenty, when every
trembling leaf whispers of love O then, is the
time ! As U Ihe place in some secluded walk,
where there is no possibility of ihtermptkni.
Tremblingly place her delicate, white, soft
hand, within your own mutton nV, pop the
question, and murmur into expecting ears vows
of love and constancy ! If she is a sensible,
candid, -off-handed sort of girl, sire will fay,
"yes," and thank you. If she is a timid, lo
ving girl, she, will prbably burst into tears,
hide her head in your btwom, and refer you to
her "pappy." If she is a foolish girl, she will
say "yes" eagerly, and jump up and kiss you.
If she is a coquetish girl, she will look plea
sed, but pretend to be astonished, and it will
require many succeeding interviews before you
arc able to make her "define her position."
True love, we all know, is diffident, and
the question is frequently "popped," without
the "popper" knowing w hat the complexion of
the answer will be from the 'poppee." If the
lady hears you coolly and unmoved bet ray a no
alarm no cnibarrasmcnt no soft flattering of
the heart, hand, and voice and blasts your
hopes by the polite utterance of the terrifically
terrihle monosyllable "no," wc advise you im
mediately to get on your feet again carefully
bnifh the dirt off your knees take your hat
in your hand, bow politely and indifferently to
the lady, as if the disappointment waa not so
great as she expected walk yourself off to
your lodgings, light a cigar, take a stiffbrandy
cork tail, dwell on the imperfections of the sex,
the blessingsnf a bachelor's lifc,"and'it isproha
blc you will soon forget her. It must be evi
dent that she don't care a copper abc.ut you. It
is true, by dogged persevcrence., you niight c
ventually obtain her consent ; but, in nine ca
ses out of ten, hearts do not accompany hands
won that way. But the lady says "no" when
all her !o,ks an'J actions say "yes," do not, wc
hese'och yoU tear your hair, and fly off in a
tanont. The hook has caught, and by giving
tier plenty of line, and playing with her deli
cately and scientifically, you can in good time
draw her to your arms, as she blu.shiugly con
fesses the jiower and potency of your churins.
A booby of a fellow, now, might soil all, in
this stage of the proceedings, by his liable or
tardiness, and the fair one escape his unskillful
hands to be caught in the net of some old sports
man.
Them's our sentiments, dear "Maria ;" gi
ven in a roundabout way, to be sure ; but still
honestly given, and given for the especial bene
fit of the young and inexperienced. That s all.
The New York Mercury has the following
brief chapter on the peculiarities of language
which mark thediftVrence between an English
man and an American.
When an Englishman wishes to offer a wa
ger he says, 'I'll lay you w hat you like.' The
American, 'I'd bet you a dollar.' 'Wc went
on a jolly spree, saya Jonathan. 'We had a
bit of a lark,' says Johnny Hull. American:
I'm busy now. Englishman : 'I'm busyjiiW
now.' American! 'He's an odd chap Eng
lishman: 'Hs's a nlm customer.' American:
'He's pot very anfj-ry.' Englishman : 'He got
$o wild !' American : 'Well, ye are, we went
then, ye tee.' Englishman : 'well, ye liiote,

walk all in good

in good lime." I once Bsked lrrhow
early she thought a child could lie made to
mind, because I had heard some women say it
was of no consequence how a child was humo
red the first tew months while it knew no bet
ter. She replied, "If a child can be humored
it can lie managed ; nnd whatever silly people
may say about its knowing no better, it crying
-when any thing is done for it, or when it wants
lo get hold of anything, is just the trial whether
the child or the parent shall be the master
You will soon find, when you wash and dress
your child, it you leave olt tor its crying, next
tlay it will cry louder; but it you go qui.-ttyon,
the child will soon be quiet too. If you put
-the dim! to pain,Uiere would be a rcastw for
its crymg,but washing ami dressing, H prcrper-
ly done, do not hurt it, but are very refreshing j
lo it. What can it cry for, except it be to get j
its own way! This, then, is the easiest lime
for teaching it that it cannot have its own way,
but must be content with something better I
and you can hardly in'S-nite now valuable this I
lesson, thoroughly learned in infancy, will be
to thechild in future life.
Another of this lady's rules was this "If
children are to 1h made obedient and tractable j
bo'hp-irotitamnstbeofonemind. If one denies J
an indulgence and the other grants or if one
corrects and the other pities and sooths, and
says, 'Poor thing! I did not mean any harm, j
the children are not likely to regard either p,.
rent. It is the father s part to insist upon it
that the children obey their mother, both in his
presence and in tns absence, ar.d the mother s
part to teach them to love and respect their fa-
ther. By this means Wh may hope to main-
tain their just au'.'nority, and to preserve order
and harmony in their family." I set dow n
some more of her savings. "Remember vour
children are born with inclinations, which soon
show themselves in a snirit of selfishness. This
yon niust very early resist, not only by making
them to be kind one to another, and to find plea- an interesting little daughter of hers, about hsq.,ot llarltora, t-oriiamt county, to miss cyi

"Never deceive children in the smallest nut-

you cannot perform or which you do not intend
to erlorm. Never pet them to act us you
wish by telling them a thing is different from
w hatil really is, or by any foolish threats of
'an old mm," "black man," "a chimney sweo-
H'r," "ghost," &iC. It is foolish to make them
fear what has no beitiL'. and wicked to nuke
them fear or hale what does exist, but would
never injure them. People talk of "while lies"

of the blackest are those which, by deceiving

"Have no favorite, but treat all your children

Payments i.i Tt RKKY. Ft is contrary to all
the habits and practices of Turkish society or
domestic lite to pay an inferior ; he is merely
lodged and fed, and occasionally receives a pre-
vent. The usual mode "by which a 1'acha Agha,
(r Governor remunerates his followers, is by
sendine them to some neiehborintr town or di-
strict, to convey an order, to receive taxes, or
to settle a dispute; in theso cases the town,
village, or district, is charged with the pay-
ment of a certain sum to the bearer, acceding
to the distance and importance of the business,
the amount being generally written on the or-
,icrt This explains how the Turkish Govern-
0rs are enabled to support so many and such
largo establishments.
