LET US HELP ONE ANOTHER.
[The following quaint lines convey a beauti
ful moral, teaching us there is no sphere or cir.
eurnstance in life in which we can not render
each other mutual assistance. The words have
been arranged to music by Prof. T. WOOD, and
have becomo deservedly popular.]
A man, very lame, was a little to blame
To stray far away from' his humble abode ;
Hot, thirsty, bemired, and heartily tired,
He laid himself down in the road.
While thus he reclined, a man that was blind
Came by and entreated his aid :
" Deprived of my sight, unassisted, to-night
I shall not reach my home, I'm afraid."
" Intelligence give of the place where you live,"
Said the cripple, 1, perhaps I may know it;
In my road it may be, AND IF YOU'LL CARRY DIE
It will give me much pleasure'to show it.
" Great strength you have got, which, alas I
have not,
In my legs, so fatigued every nerve is;
For the use of your back, for the eyes which you
lack
ally pair shall be much at your service."
Said the poor blind man : " What a wonderful
plan
Pray get on my shoulder, good brother!
I see all mankind, if-they are but inclined,
MAY CONSTANTLY HELP ONE ANOTHER!"
Correspondence of the Newark Daily Advertiser.
Letter from Rome.
ROME, January 30, 1856.
A late number of the official Journal of
Rome has an article on our countryman Craw
ford, from which I translate the foliowing
passages touching his chief work :
"Among the first of the great number of
foreign studios at Rome is that of Mr. Craw
ford, the American sculptor. We admire
there some precious works-of Art, of which
the colossal monument of Virginia to Wash
ington is the principal. It was a noble
thought of that State to raise such a solemn
and durable mausoleum to its noblest son;
and not less wise was the counsel which com
mitted the execution of it to one of, the best
qualified of his countrymen. The monument
must be classed with the most majestic- and
imposing erected by modern nations. From
the broad, round base, the platform of which
is reached by. 8-or
,10 well-guated, steps,
rise- - eqUardistincei e pedestals each 'sus
taining an American eagle proudly stretching
its wings, with an undazzied eye fixed on
the sun.
"Six expressive bronze statues of illustri
ous Virginia contemporaries of Washington
in their proper costume stand on fit pedestals
around the second stage of the marble struc
ture ; on the two oPtiocipal facades, of which
are bas-reliefs representing, Ist, Virginia as a
grave matron, holding a sword in one hand,
and pointing with the other 'to the chained
figure of Tyranny at her feet; and, 2d, a
beautiful group comprising a personification
of Eternity, embracing Justice and Abun
dance, symbolizing American independence,
crowned with peace and riches, the enduring
fruits of constancy, with the word Perseve
rance, and this line of Virgil—Deus nobis lac
olia fecit. The artist has happily veiled the
face of Eternity, since its distinctive features,
its origin and duration, cannot be imagined.
The majestic word, Washington, stands out
in bold relief on anther facade of this „eleva
tion. Crowning the monument stands the
equestrian statue of the Man in his proper
uniform, disp:ayine the naked sword of-Vic
tory..This work a genius and study finely
Signalizes the valor, the patriotism,- the dis
intereStedness, "and the • other high qualities
of the memorable character, who preserved a
serene-and dignified air in the. midst :of - -the
trials of war and revolution. The horse is
full of life and movernent.=-Altogether the
Work must secure an' enviable reputation for
the author, .and it will, we trust, prove,anin
destructible memorial of the gratitude-.of the
American people to the chief agent of their
independence:"
"-The last number of the Arcltivio Storico
lialiano, - an invaluable serial publication :of
the nature of your Historical Society's peri
odical, honorably recalls the labors of Horace
Greenough, the pioneer of .American
tors in Italy, who has, thus found a fitting
memorial in the most authentic record of the
History of Modern Italy. His friends and
coontryrsien_could desire nothing 'more-com
plimentary than this appreciative memoir,
which mentions with just pride that he bore
the title of "honorary professor, of the Flor
entine Academy of the Beautiful Arts" In
the ,same publication I find also O, brief Them-,
oir of our lamented • countryman,.. Richard
Henry Wilde, the statesman, scholar and ju
rist, known in our political' history as the'el
oquent representative of Georgia in Congress,
en our literature as the author of the charm
ing lyric "My Life, is like theSumtner Rose,"
and a work on the Madness and Imprison
ment of Torquato Tasso," and in 'our juris
prudence as the law professor of the 'Univer
sity of New Orleans,, where he was cut off
in 1847; by the yellow fever, at the age of
55. It appears by this memoir that Mr.
Wilde had made rare• collections, during his
long sojourn in Italy, for a . learned illnetra.
tive work on the life and time of Dante,
which the writer hopes will pass into hands
capable of perfecting his original intention.
A series of interesting letters running from
1834 to 1837, from Clark.s Botta, the ele
gant. Italian historian of the American Rev
olution, to George Washington Greene, (the
grandson of one of its chiefs,) who 'filled the
office of U. S. Consul at Rome some years,
is also preserved in this collection of histori
cal papers.
The American citizens thus honored in
these "Archives"-are fondly recognized as
Italofili.2lmericani. .
During the passing season we have had
preaching in every tongue of Europe, by Car,
dinals and Bishops of eminence for learning
and eloquence; and the ecclesiastical circles
are just now vocal with the praises of a dis •
-
course by Mgr. Pie, the worthy successor of
St, Hilaire," of Poitiers, in France, on the
reciprocal relatioris of faith and reason. It
was, indeed, a subtle and seductive exposi
tion of the parable of the prodigal son, which
is held to illustrate the dogma of the just sub
ordination of reason to revelation—as the
Romish Church understands it. The simple
and limpid eloquence of the preacher remin
ded me of the manner of the late Rev. Dr.
Alexander, of Princeton—truly venerable no
men. At the conclusion of the services, the
orator received the cong ratulations of the nu
merous members of th Sacred College and
other dignitaries present, and was compli
mented the next day by the Pope with a bas
ket of fruit from the apostolic gardens. The
famous discourse is to be reproduced in both
French and Italian, by the pontifical press..
The Dominican monks of the monastery
of St. Sabine, on Mt. Aventin, have recently
made some excavations in the declivities of
that bill, which have revealed a suite of an
cient Roman chambers, supposed to have
formed pert of a subterranean passages to the
palace of the kings. They have also recov
ered sundry urns, jets, medals and utensils
of a high antiquity, which are conspicuously
displayed in the museum of the' monastery.
It is again said that
_the revival of the Order
of Malta has been, or is to be, decreed. Its
existence now is merely nominal, though the
office of Grand Prior is continued In the
hands of aadinal, of course, with a snug
2
salary of 00 francs : and several cheva
liers receive small pensions out of its rent of
100,000 francs. I am told to=day that the
rich gallery of. the palade Corsint, now in
deep mourning,is to be 'sold at public auction.
It comprises many• pictures by the Raphaels
and Corregios of the time, and is justly reck
oned among the chief ornaments of Rome.
The police authorities have given license
for a general masquerade during the last
three days of the carnival, with the condition,
that the face shall in no way be masked.—
Small sugar • plums, and coriander and anise
seed are gravely mentioned as the only al
lowable missives to be thrown in the streets,
except single flowers; but bouquets, and
balls of lime and.plaster, the confetti which
have been so profusely used on former occa
sions, are expressly interdicted I Truly,
these people treat serious subjects with levi
ty, and trifles as gravities. ,
On the 26th the city was nearly deluged
by a tempest of wind, rain and hail. Some
of the hail.stones were quite equal to small
hens eggs... The storm raged for two hours
and .a.--alf with unprecedented violence.--

The Pew Grains of Wheat.
There was once a Spanish lady, a certain
Donna Maria d' Escobar, living at Lima, who
had a few grains of wheat,, which she had
brought from Estramaduta. She planted
them in her garden, and of the sleader har
vest she distributed to others until that which
• had been counted in grains was counted in
sheaves ; and that which had been counted in
( sheaves Was counted 'in, fields; and thence,
came all the corn which is now found in Pe
ru. This anecdote—it is', told, 1 think, .by
Southey--made a strong impression on my
fancy many years ago, and it recurs to me of
ten when I tee! discouraged at the slow dis
,semination of the most obvious truths. The
hope that one so powerless as myself could.
ever assist - in popularizing any great -truth,
-or help to convert the unfamiliar, the unpala
table into the common food of daily life, that,
has seemed like vanity;—but then i have
thought "No, that word, 'vanity'„. shall not
frighten me.":', Wisely said. the Thinker of
bid, that "there is oftentimes as great vanity
and self-pride in' retiring and withdrawing
men's conceits from thewerld, as in publish
ing them ;" and extreme vanity does., some
times borrow the garb of an ultra-modesty.—
When I see'people haunted by the 'idea of
self, afraid to speak .lest they should not . be
,listened to; spreading their hands before ;heir
'faces, less they meet the reflection of it in
every other face-:--as if the wide world were
to them only a French, drawing room, pan
eled with looking-glasses; always, fussily
putting.this obtrusive self behind them, or
dragging over it a scanty drapery of camel
nusness—miscalled modesty ; always on the.
defence against compliment, or mistaking
sympathyjor compliment, which is as great
an error, and a, far more vulgar 'error -than
that of Mistaking flattery for sympathy; when
I have seen this—and how often have 1 seen
it allied with power and talent !—I have been
inclined to attribute it to immaturity .of char
acter—to a sort of childishness; or to what is
worse, a wont.of innate integrity and sim
plicity.
We live in a season 'of fermentation,
which some deprecate - as.change—others hail
as progress; but these . who venture as they
walk on their path through life to scatter a
few seeds by the way-side in faith and in
charity, mayi• at least, - cherish a hope that,
instead of being trampled down or withered
up, or choked among thorns, they will have
a chance of life at least, and of bringing
forth, little or much, in due season; for' the
earth, even by the way-sides of common life,
is no longer dry, and barren, and stony hard,
but green with promise—grateful for culture
—and we are 'at length beginning to feel that
all the blood and tears by which it has been
silently watered have not been shed in vain.

Corn Stalk Sugar
A correspondent writes to us for informa
tion respecting the making of sugar from
the green stalks of maize. We do not recol
lect the article in this paper on that subject
to which our correspondent refers, nor that
we have ever intimated that we had any par=
-ticular knowledge of the processin.our pos.;
session. In the Farmer's Dictionary, edi.:
ted by Dr. Gardner, and published by the
Harpers, will be found, under the head of
€ , Corn for Sugar," a paper, by Wil:iam Webb,
of Wilmington, Delaware, giving the results
of various experiments made by him in' ob
taining sugar from the juice, of cornstalks
crushed in a mill., The, juice was boiled in
cauldrons and theri granulated. Mr. Webb
thinks that the making of sugar froth maize
has many advantages over -the same 'Manu
facture from the best-root. In the Patent
Report for the year -1843, ,prcparetity H. L.
Ellsworth, Commissioner, the subject is par.;
ticulatly noticed, and various letters from in
dividuals who 'had made the' experiment in
dlfrisent parts of the United States are giv.i
en.. • . •,.
For the benefit of those who have not this
Report at hand, we give the method employ
ed by Messrs. David Hubbard and Ira Bur=
die, of Kalamazoo. They say : ' "
"Our manner of proceeding, alter extract
ing the juice by - horse power, is to put 'it in
pans made of tin, of fourteen sheets each,
with sides of wood six inches -wide, and"
which hold about a barrel and a half, _placed
over vales, and by boiling the juice 'down'
one hour, it is fit to be placed in pans' for
graining. _ It. requires great care :and - atten
tion to .prevent, burning. it. We made a
qtiantify Of.stig.ar and a good . deal of molasses,
which is a good articleil
The stalks;before passing through the mill,'
were deprived of the leaves and tassels. The.
mill is thus de: Bribed : • ,
Have two iron rollers. of twenty inches in'
diameter, and 'two feet long,' with iron gud-'
;eons three inches. in diameter,'and cogs at-'
tached to the same, placed horizontally.---
The rollers should be at least two inches
thick, to move by horse or Water power,•
with about the same velocity as a''Common•'
.cider mill."
There is a further direction in regard to
the batting:
"We think the best way is to, h oil the
juice, after it is cleaned with the Milk of
lime to. a moderate syrup, take it off and: let
it stand about six hours ; than. carefully
.drain it from the dregs, adding about one ta
blespoonful of saleratus, dissolved to, about
three 7allons'lof syrup, boil Until it operates'
exactly aS.•dbes , inaple sugar." • •.'
The writer: alibis letter thioks'that an
acre of Indian, corn :will yield.frorn. 509 to
-600 pounds of sugar. By "milk . of Itme"
we suppose'is meant iime-water. -
Mr. John Beal, of New Harmony; thinks"
that the best time to cut up the . stalks;-for
crushing is . when the blades begin to wither
about the middle of the stalk.; He and Mr.
Webb; of Wilmington, direct that the ears
.shculdle taken off the Mornehl they begin
to show the: silk. The Rev. Luther Humph
rey,, of El wards burg, in Michigan,
.1 hin ks
that 'the - syrup tv ill soonest, granulate which
is made from, stalks cut early in ,the- season
1 -'—that ii - soon afterthe silk is formed. :?Ir.
Adams, of Ad'anis Basin,iethis State,. made"
'6OO pounds from an acre; --- • :• •
-•.; It seems to be agreed that theitalks should
be passed through the mill as -soon as -they
are cut, and that the-boiling should begin•
immediately after the nice is firesSeb

• ;G: Charters, 'charters, charters—nothing
but charters.. The •Legislature is overrtin
with them, they constitute the staple business
of. every session.'• We'haveacts to incorpor
ate, and supplements thereto, • and ','suppte
ments on supplements, until it is difficult to
tell upon what precise basis- any• Charteredt
corporation stands.: Instead of having gen=
eral laws defining theekact nature, powers,
limits and :scope. of these • corporations-, we
have acts to enable them to•pnrchase,,or hold,.
or sell real estate: acts to put off the payment
of - their debts ;'acis . to allow 'them to increase
-- - ffrefr capital.;.acts to do everything, in fact,
which ought to be rigidly regulated by.a uni
form system. Such is the rush of this de
scription of business at Harrisburg, that the
,public welfare can necessarily receive but a
small share of the attention of members,-...
The latter are up to their eyesiirr private acid
special legislation. -And how dignified iS
the business which
- thus
, - overwhelms. them.
Here we notice one bill which. incorporates
a Bone Boiling Company ; another incorpor
ates a 'Manure Manufacturing Company :' a
third-charters a 'company te build i' hotel ;"a'
fourth aCemetery Company,; a fifth a:Guano
Company, and'so on. Now what makes ail'
these companies of such
_trementiOus irnpOr
tanCe that they do not gti tatheeountrcOurts
for charters.? The reason iei plain..., Special,
privileges . , are „sought, .which the, county
courts would not grant. In nine cases out
Of ten theSe are highly improper, but' snub - is

is found in getting any kind of a ,private; bill
through both houses.--Aortk Ainericczn.„
