We are growing very-old, Kate !
I feel it every day ;
The hair upon our temples now, .
. Is growing thin and gray.
Wejare not as. we were, Kate?;
And yet our. hearts are young,
As. when we roved the sunny chills;
And. flow'ry dells among.
We arc growing very oldj ilvate,;
But it is not age of heart;
Though speedily the hour comes on,
When thou and I must part.
When thou and I must part, Kate,
As we have ne'er before,
Beside our cottage hearth to meet,
With words of love no more.
But we're growing very old, Kate,
And the parting won't be long,
'Till we meet within a better home,
Amid yon heavenly throng ;
'Till we sing the song together, Kate,
The angels sing above ;
Where ne'er the fear of parting takes
The blessedness for love.
Keeping Secrets.
Mr. Ekscelle's wife was always scolding

could keep a secret. He returned home one j
night about cloven -o'clock, and Mrs- E. ob-1

at eveiy footstep. His actions attracted the
attention of his wife, who asked him what

Agriculture--! ts Importance to
the Coimiinimly
Commencing with the immortal Washing
ton, many of our Presidents have recommen
ded the formation, of an AgriculturafDepart
ment of ciur Government, and as often has
that part of the President's Message been re
ferred to a Committee whojiaye.ne.verrepor
ted a plan for its formation.. While the far-
mers have been busvat home, earning and
paying nine-tenths of the expenses of Govern
a
ment, the other- interests have beea busy in
securing Government protection in various
ways.
The manufacturers, under the excuse of
their wares being required for, the use of the
Army and Navy have, had. various Commis
sions organized, for expensive experiments for
the settling of doubtful points of practice, and
thus millions have been appropriated for the
building of Steam Engines, Locomotives,
Telescopes, Chronometers and a thousand
other things said to be of general public util
ity. Every orator in Congress has called
Agriculture a noble art, the farmers compos
ing more than four fifths.of the whole commu
nity are said to be bone tmd sinew of the Re
public, and yet the Agricultural Department
has not been organised, but the farmers have
been insuked by the placing the carc of'their
great ;nterest. in thc hands of a s5n le CJerk

In some States individuals have done much

two hundred farms, making analysis of the

The result has been that the products of these
two hundred farms have been much increased
. and it is the opinion of many who have atten
ded his lectures and have availed themselves
of his advice that he has increased the income
of the State more than one hundred thousand
dollars per annum.
In all -parts of the country we find spirited
individuals who have adopted improved meth
ods, and thus we find occasional accounts of
crops entirely above the average of thc neigh
borhoods in which they are grown. One

. attention of Congress to thc subject. The
President says:

Every interest would be advanced by the
formation of such a bureau ; an improvement
of one per cent, n the avipunt of our crops,
would increase the wealth of the country
m9re than the present receipts of the govern
, wMJrom all sources !
Our politicians must soon be alive to those
truths, or the farmers will arise in their
strength and demand what is now withheld.
Thc State Legislatures are already busy in
devising means for advancing the productive
art, and some States have already appointed
State Agriculturist to collate information, de
liver lectures, &c. Others are about onran-
izing other systems for disseminating the re
quired knowledge ; but none seems to us
more effective than that reported by the Com
mittee on Agriculture of thc State of New
Jersey last year, and petitioned for by 4,000
farmers of the State.
The Bill provided for -the appointment of
a State Agriculturalist, and among the duties
assigned him were those.of delivering a course
of lectures on Agriculture in each countv.
each year, to establish County Societies, to
make himself acquainted with all improve
ments in agriculture, and to make the same
known through his lectures, and through his
annual Report to the Legislature, which Re
port was to be printed for gratuitous circula
tion among the farmers. He was also to
cause to be cultivated an acre of land or
more in each county, in the best manner for
the production of the standard crops of the
county.
Such an organization could not but im
prove the products of the State many times
the cost proposed, and the peculiar mineral
resources of New Jersey render it singularly
adapted to such an experiment.
Maryland has already made such appoint
ment, and the results are highly satisfactory
It is impossible to treat this subject fully
in a single article, and we shall therefore oc
casionally devote a- column to its advocacy.
If New York would appoint one or more
lecturers to travel among the farmers, and
advise modes of culture, they would do more,
and at less cost, for the advancement of air.

less attempts to establish an expensive Agri-
cultural Coll

The Poles seldom eat any breakfast,
and are not fond of cold meat. In thc
morning, both men and women generally
drink ginger, yolks of eggs, and sugar,
boiled in beer. Thev are extravaeantlv
fond of roast pig ; but their sauces, to
foreigners, are far from being agreeable.
The great men seldom dine without a dish
of peas and sliced bacon.
"When the Poles make a feast, the host
seldom furnishes the table either with
spoons, knives, or forks ; but each guest,
or his servant, brings them with him, and
after the banquet is over, carries them
home. Each one at the table has a nap
kin, made of a broad piece of starched
linen, which is sewed to the tablecloth, to
prevent it from being stolen by the ser
vants. After the gucst3 are seated at
the table, the gates of the house are im
mediately closed, and arc not opened till
the table is cleared, and au inventory

the peculiar failings of thc footmen, who
are always sure to diminish the number
of the plate and other valuable articles,

JiiVery person of rank and means has
his banquethall in his house, devoted ex
clusively to feasts and entertainments.
In these halls is found a large table, al
ways loaded with victuals and drink,

A "Crack Church" in New York.
A correspondent of the Knickerbocker,
thus describes what is meant by being a
member of a " crack church." in New
York : '
" Those who can't pay eight hundred
or thousand dollars for a pew in a fash
ionable crack church are obliged to stay
at home, unless they are humble enough
to go to some of God's temples where
Christianity is not only preached but
practised. We found our way into a
crack church last Sunday, in the upper
part of the city. Casting our left eye
as we cnteied, on a magnificent prayer
book, we observed in gilt letters the name
of a millionare, with whose early history
we were perfectly conversant. He start
ed in life as a clamboy, and thc old clam
boat, to which he belonged, used to be
stationed near Washington market until
all its cargo of clams were sold out. He
first acquired a few dollars capital. This
he invested in the fish trade ; speculated
in eels, porgies, and other fish : made a
large sum of money, and finally succeeded
in " cornering shad bought up all the
stock of the season, both in and out of
the water, and. sold them afterwards at
his own prices, and made 850,000. He
cut his market associations, bought lots
up town, now lives in the Fifth avenue,
and is a " big dog." As wealth increased
he found himself at the headof the " cod
fish aristocracy," to which, of course, he
had access, from his former business.
Phalon, the barber, was sent for; his
daughters had their hair combed out and

bired : old Mr. Porgie joined the
church, and took a costly pew. Wc hap
pened to get into it ; but we no sooner
discovered where we were, than we made
up our minds to vacate. Wo were too
late.
Old Mr. Porgie came sailing up the
aisle with his wife and daughters, dres -
sed as though thoy had known "whati
was what" all their, lives. To our aston-
ishmcnt. instead of shutting the new
door in our face, he asked us to"keeD

religion, are drawn from the
" -
undented,
recorded
life of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
He was a living example of humility,
charity, love ; in fact, all that was good
and lovely. Some of his chosen disciples
were very close imitators of their Lord
and Master ; and though they were by
profession fish catchers, (we were not a-
ware tnat tney were clam catcuers ori
speculators) like Mr. Porgie, they were;
not above other men because of their sue- j
cess or money. We wonder whether'

comparison between
the unsuccessful ? Of the millions who
embark in business to make money, how
few succeed ? And why ? Because but
few know the secret of success. Most
think it chance, or good fortune, but they
are sadly mistaken ; and if such as aro
now pining to get rich would only strictly
mind the following advice and be guided
by it, there would be no doubt of their
realizing their golden dream .
Let the business of everybody else
alone and attend to your own; don't buy
what vou don't want; use evcrv hour to i
advantage, and study to make even j
leisurc hours useful : thiuk twice before
you throw away a shilling, remember
Lvou will have another to make for it;
nnu recreation in looking aum- your
business ; buy low, sell fair, and take
care of the profits ; look over your books
regularly, and if you find an error, trace
it out ; should a stroke of misfortune
come upon you in trade, retrench, work
harder, but never fly thc track ; confront
difficulties with unfiinching perseverance,
and they will disappear at last ; though
you should fail in the struggle, you will
be honored but shrink from the task
and you will be despised.

Otto Grunxig, who was to have been exe

oning his wife, received a respite from Gov.
Hunt in a despatch sent to thc Sheriff just
before the hour appointed. The Governor
stated that Margcretta Lorcnzy, his concu
bine, had made a confession that she did tho
deed, and the respite was granted for the pur
pose of making a further investigation. The
girl was arrested in New York, on Friday,
though it is said that Grunzig cannot have a

upon a pardon from the Governor.

it was ascertained that the lady had
married eight or ten years before, but, be

violated her fidelity to her husband, and,
having abandoned him, had indulged
openly in intrigues with every young
