One of the greatest faults in the cultivation of Vegetables, arises from the mistaken opinion entertained by many persons,' that the quantity of a crop'is increased'by closely sowing or planning. Nothing can be more er roneous than such a supposition. On the contrary, both in weight and quali ty, the crop of Vegetables to be as large as the quantity and nature of the ground sown permits, will be found to increase in proportion as sufficient space is afforded for the proper til lage of the ground during its growth and for the admission of tne requisite influence and circulation of light and air. The greatest impediment to success in the production of fine Vegetables perhaps, is jvant of due attention to the proper tiflage of the ground nothing can supersede the advanta ges accruing from deep culture ; when the plow is used the subsoil plow should follow it, and in all land, wheth er heavy or light, (except a subsoil of pure gravel,) will be benefited by it. When the spade is used, the ground should be dug at least sixteen inches deep. It is best to sow and cultivate ALL crops in drills and rows, in preference to broad cast. The crop is tilled at loss expense, both of time and troub le. The hoe, during the growing season, should be continually at work, and in direct porportion to the com plete eradication of the weeds and to 1 lie keeping of the ground open and l«o*e, will be the weight and quality of the crop. The rotation of crops should be at tended to. Manure should be given to crops above ground, as the Cabbage, Tribe, Peas, the Potato, (for that is not a root,) and similar Vegetables. These should be followed Wroot crops, as Carrots, Parsnips, &c., with less manure. Thosewho are experienced cultiva tors, have no need of these sugges tions but few, who are not so, will not be easily convinced of their impor tance, until by direct experiment they are satisfied of their value and truth. \\ e take this opportunity to call attention to the advantage as regards the early maturity of many Vegeta bles to be derived from smarting them in a hot-bed in Spring. The trouble is not great, and the time saved is valuable. To prepare a hot-bed for this pur pose, a qumtity of stable manure should be well shaken up in a heap, the beginning or middle of Febuary; after remaining three days, it should again be shaken up and turned over, and after an interval of three davs, repeat the same process. Let the manure remain for three or four days, in the heap, and then form the bed of any dimensions that may be requisite, according to the size or number of Frames to be used, making the bed about a foot wider than the frame all around. The bed, when made, should be not less than three feet high. Place about eight inches of light, rich soilin the frame after it is placed on the bed, so that the surface of the soil may be from six to eight inches from the top of the frame. After the bed has stood with the lights on, but raised a few inches to let the steam escape, for a few days, sow t4e seed of Cabbage, Tomatoes, Cauliflower Egg Plant, Celery, Lettuce, Radish, &c, &e. When the Seeds make their appearance above ground, give some air, day and night, in moderate wea ther. by raisingthc lights twoor three inches, and as tlie heat of the bed di minishes increase the supply of air to prevent the plants beingdrawn up. Tn severe weather the frame and lights should be covered at nights with mats or straw. In high wind protect the sides of the bed also in the same wav. or the current of air through will ex tinguish the heat of the bed. Ifmade early in the season, water will only be required when the earth in the frame becomes quite dry; as the plants in crease in size the supply of water may be increased. RAISED UISCUIT.— Take a pint bowl full of light dough; break into it a fresh egg, and a piece of butter tho size of an egg. Knead in these until perfectly incorporated into the dough. It will require about ten min utes. Roll it about an inch thick, and cut it into biscuits. Lay them upon a tin sheet or shallow baking pan, and let them rise in a modera tely warm place. They will become very light, and should be baked in a quick stove, baker or oven. They will bake in twelve or fifteen minuets, .and are injured by being baked very slowly. Very nice eaten fresh, but not hot. This measure will make abeut two dozen. They are not so good the next day as biscuit made without an egg. CLEANING SILVEK-PI.ATEP ARTI CLES. —While metal articles electro plated with silver are now very com- i mon.'aijd great care is required in ! cleaning them when tsrrisbed. No j powder must be used fur this purpose i whioli has the least grit iu it, or the : silver will be scratched and socn worn off. The finest Impalpable •whitening should be employed with a little soft water in removing the tarnish. They •M next washed with rain water, j dried and polished with a piece of! soft leather, some with rough ponder ! or fine whitening, then rubbed down with the hand, which forms a most /.'xceljcnt polisher.— F.r. €ducati<mat department. From the Pennsylvania School Journal. Dull Children. No fact can be plainer than this, that it is impossible to judge correctly of the genius or intellectual ability of the future man, by the indications of # childhood.— Some of the most eminent men of all ages were remarkable only foT dullness in their youth. Sir Isaac Newton, in his boyhood, was inattentive to his study, and ranked very low in school until the age of twelve. Samuel Wythe, the Dublin school maMer.atterapted to educate Richajd Brin sley Sheridan, he pronounced the boy an "incorrigible dunce." The mother of Sheridan fully concurred in this verdict and declared him the most stupid of her sons. Goldsmith was dull in his youth, and Shakspeare, Gibbon, Davy, and Dry den. do not appear to have exhibited in their childhood,even the common elements of future success. When Berzelius, the eminent Swedish chemist, left school for the University .the words ''lndifferent in behaviour and of doubtful hope," were scored against his name ; and after he entered the Univer sity lie narrowly escaped being turned back. On one of hi 3 first visits to the laboratory, when nineteen years old, he was taunted with the inquiry whether he ' understood the difference between a lab oratory and a kitchen." N alter Seott had th 3 credit of having "the thickest skull in the echool," though Dr. Blair told the teacher that many bright rajs of future genius shone through that same "thick skull." Milton and Swift were justly cele brated for stupidity in childhood. The great Isaac Barrow's father ujed to say that, if it pleased God to take from him any of his children, he hoped it might be Isaac, as the least promising. (,'lavius, the first mathematician ot his age, was So stupid in his boyhood, that his teachers could make nothing of him till they tried him in geometry. Carraci, the celebrated painter, was so inapt in his youth, that his masters advised him to restrict his ambi tion to the grinding of colors. " One of the most popular authoresses of thepresent day."says an English writer, "could not read when she was seven. I ler mother was rather uncomfortable about it, but said that as every body did learn with opportunity, she supposed her child would do so at last. By eighteen, the apparent ly slow genius paid the heavy but inevit able debts of her father from the profits of her first work, and before thirty, had published thirty volumes." Dr. Scott, the commentator, could not compose a theme when twelve years old , and even at u later ago l)r. Adam Clark, after incredi ble effort, failed to commit to memory a poem of a few stanzas only At !• years ot' age, oue who afterwards became a justice in this country, was, during a whole winter, unable to commit to meuio- Iry the little poem found in one of'our school I books. Labor and patience arc tlie wonder I workers of man—the wand by whose mag ic touch he changes dross into gold, de | fortuity into beauty, the desert into a gar j den, and the ignorant child into the ven j erable sage. Let no youth be given up as j an incorrigible dolt, a victim fit only to be- I laid on the altar of stupidity, until labor and patience have struggled with him long ' enough to ascertain whether he is a "natu ral fool," or whether his mind is merely enclosed in a harder shell than common, j requiring only a little outward aid to es j cape into vigorous and symmetrical lite. Reasons for Learning to Sing. The celebrated William Bird, the au thor of Xon nobis Pom inc." gave the fol |fowing very forcible reasons for learning to sing, in a scarce work, published in 15'J8, entitled '•Psalms, sonnets, and songs of sad ness and pietis " First—lt is a knowledge easily taught and quickly learned, where there is a good master and apt scholar. " Secondly—The exercise of singing is delightful to nature, and good to promote the health of man. " Thirdly—lt doth'strengthen all parts | of the heart, and doth open the pipes. '■ Fourthly—lt is a singular good rerne ; die for a stuttering and stammering in the I speech. •• Fifthly—lt is the best means fo pre serve a perfect pronunciation, and to make a good orator. | Sixthly—lt is the only way to know J when nature hath bestowed a good voice, i which gift is so rare that there is not one | among a thousand that hath it; and in many that excellent gift is lost, because they want an art to express nature. " Seventhly—There is not any music of instruments whatever, comparable to that which is made of men's voices, when the voices are good, and the same well sorted, ; and ordered. Eighthly—The better die voice is, the I mcetcr it is to honor and serve God there with ; and the voice of man is chiefly em-' ployed to that end." A CITIZEN of Hannibal. Missouri, 1 whose slaves lately ran away, has since re- i ceived from them a Bible, request , that he " should read it regularly." POTATOES sell in Maine for 50 cents ' and in Richmond for 8- r >o a bushel. «' *" '* ] "I CAN'T support you any longer," as < the rotten bridge said to the elephant. j l JUlinimui department. Homage to Revelation The Bible is a book of facts, at least as weir authenticated as any in history—a book of iniraqjes incontestibly avouched —a book of morals, such as human wis dom never framed for the perfection of humau happiness. I will abide by the precepts, admire the beauty, revere the j mysteries, and as far as in me lies, prac tise the mandates of this sacred volume; ! and should the ridicule of earth and the i blasphemy of hell assail me, I shall con- j I sole myself by the contemplation of those | blessed spirits, who in the same holy cause i have toiled and suffered—ln the • goodly fellowship of the saints," in the "noble army of the martyrs," in the society of the great, and good, and wise of every ' nation—if my sinfulness be not cleansed, i and my darkness illumined—at least my pretension less admission may be excused. If I err with the luminaries 1 have cho sen for jny guide. I confess myself cap tivated by the 'oveliness of their observa- j tions. If they err, it is in a heavenly re gion; if theywander.it is in the fields of | light; if they aspire it is in all events a j I glorious daring; and ratherthau sink with ! j infidelity into the dust. 1 am content to j cheat myself with their vision of etcrni- j I ty. If I err with the disciples of philos- , ophy and virtue—with men who have | I drunk deep at the fountain of human j j knowledge, but who dissolved not the pearl of their salvation in the draught; I err I with Bacon, thc*great confident of nature, | j fraught with all the learning of the past, and almost prescient of the future, yet too wise not to know lus weakness, and too j philosophic not to feel his ignorance. I 1 err with Milton, rising on nil angel's wing , toSieaven, and like the bird of morn, soar ing out of sight amid the music of his ! > A t grateful piety. I err with Locke, whose i | pure philosophy only taught lrim to adore J its source, whose warm love of genuine j I liberty was never chilled into rebellion ] with its Author. I err with Newton, whose | starlike spirit shot athwart the darkness of j | the sphere, too soon to re-ascend to the I i home of its nativity. With men like ! j these I shall remain in error. Nor shall I desert those errors for the drunken death- I bed of a Paine, or the delirious war whoop j 1 | of those men who would erect their altar j j on the ruins of society— Chun. l'hitlipx. j ■ r FRIKNDSHIP. —That deserted name be . I longs only to the attachments of the finer j spirits—the rare and excellent among our I race. A combination of qualities, on both | . sides, is necessary to produce that preciouf and inestimable sentiment. Of real, sin cere, affection, many men are not capa ble; they have, indeed, a sort of attach ] ment to the things-they live among, the I people who fill the house and family ; that j I is, they do not very well like to do with- | out them, when they have been accustom- | cd to their presence, but that is all. Take | them aftay, and replace them by some- ! thing, or some person else, and you soon ! learn to measure the strength of attach ment in the ordinary human heart. As for confidence, that is not the attribute of | a little mind, especially if tinged with I jealously of a mind more enlarged and j noble than.itself; it loves to keep its own frivolous plans and ideas a secret, for there seems, indeed, a sort of. instinctive dread on the part of folly to come in contact with wisdom. l!ely upon it. that the man who loves those higher in thescalcof intellect I than himself, is a hero undisclosed by cir- j cuuistances. Folly hates wisdom, even ' the gentlest wisdom.— The Ark. LITTI.E KINDNESSES.—Let us seek our j opportunities; let us slight nothing as too ' trivial or minute, not even the keeping a j favorite scat at the fireside fr»r one we know j has a fancy for it, or the most trifling ar- i rangctnent of household matters, if it gives ! pleasure toothers. The desire of .showing j little kindnessesproceedsoften merely from | au obliging disposition; but I think the j habit of it must lie formed on Christian mo- j lives, and on a habitual courge of self-deni al and thoughtfulness. It may be called a habitof preferring others before ourselves Endeavor to acquire this habit; do not. because you can do so little for others, do nothing. Look around yo\i. first in your own family, then amongstyour friends and neighbors, and see whether there be not some one whose little burden you can lighten, whose little cares you may lessen, whose little pleasures you can promote, whose little wantsand wishes you can grat ify. Giving up cheerfully our own occu pation to attend to others, is one of the lit tle kindnesses and self-denials ; doing lit tle things that nobody likes to do, but which must be done by some one, is anoth er. Doing a thing, saying nothing about it, is also a kindness ; for we all know how j irksome it is to be told that this, that, or i the other thing was got for us, or done on ' our account. — The Ark.

Compelled a year since to Increase the price of its several issuer, or submit to the pecuniary ruin «>f its proprietor; from the very magnitude of its circulation, it has probably since parted with some patrons to whom its remarkable cheapness was a controlling" ren'inmenta tion ; but others hfcve taken their place, and it has now more than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers and regu lar purehaaars—an excess of at least Fifty Thousand over those of any riral. And this unprecedented currency it has achieved by very liberal expenditures in proenring early nnd authentic intelligence; by the fearloss expres sion of convictions, by the free employment of ability and in.|istry wherever It might contribute to excellence in any department of our enterprise, ami by uushriuklng fidelity to the dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Free dom. By very large outlays for early and authentic advices by telegraph and otherwise from its own correspondents with the various armies of the Union, and by swecial ef forts to furnish such information respecting Markets, Crops, new discoveries or improvements in Agriculture, Ac., as must specially interest fanners, we have assidlously labored to make a journal calculated lo meet the wants and subserve the interests of the Producing Classes. — That end we have at least measurably attained; for no other newspaper exists in America or Europe which is habitually read by nearly so many Ovrmersand their fam ilies as is TtiE Tnini'M: io-dav. We shall labor to increase J both the number and the satisfaction of this by far the i most numerous class of its patrons. During the existence of the Whig party, paper supported that narty, though always synipathiEing with : the more libers!, progressive, Anti-Slavery "wing" there of. When new Issues dissolved or transf irined old organi zations through the spontaneous uprising of the people I of the Free States against the*repndlation of tin- Ml-sourl 1 Restriction. The.Trfbune heartily participated in that | movement, and was known as Republican. W hen the I long smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our | country or reduce It entire to complete abasement to the 1 Flave Power culminated in overt treas n and rebellion, I it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance to this c n spiracy as paramount to all other considerations. and de- j voted all Its energies and efforts t«> the maintenance of our I Vnloq. In every great controversy w"hich has divided | our country, it has been found on that side whi.h natu- . rally commands the sympathy and support oi the large majority of Klwol-houses and ucclded minority of grog-sho| s. and so doubtle s Will be t;> to the last.. Ardently desiring and strlvlu f»r th-> early and endn ring adjustment of our National distractions. The Tribune j loaves the time, the nature and the conditions ol that ad justment implicitly to those lawfully In authority, con fiding in their wlsd -m and patriotism, anxious to aid them to the utmost in their .arduous resp» usabilities nnd ! not to embarrass them even by possibility. Firmly be lieving in the Apostolic rule—'"First pure thru peacea ble"'—holding that the total and final extirpation of Sla very is the true and only absolute cure fir our National ills—that any expedient that stops short of this can have but a transient and illusory success- we vet pro pound no theory of "reconstruction"' and indorse none , that hits liven p r <>|ioundad l.v another—neither Sum ; ner ■, nor Whiting'*, nor any of the various Copperhead ; ■ devices for achieving "Peace'' by surrounding the Ile i public into the power <-f its traitorous foes—but, exhor ting, the American People to have faith in their Ooverrt j ment, to re-enforce their armies and replenish their treas i ury, we believe that, if they but do theirdutv.-a benign Providence will indue timebilng this fearftil struggle to such a close as will best subserve the true greatness of our country and the permanent well-being of mankind. We respectfuly solicit the subscriigi< ns and active exertions of our friends, and of views and con victions substantially with ours. T Kit MS OF DAILY TRnsTXE.
