    Old Friends.
'We look sweet counsel together."
Where have ye stroll'd, ye friends of old,
Companions of my youth?
Each walk, each nook, each dream, each brook
Brings back the bitter truth;
I call to mind but cannot find
The forma I once love well,
Where have ye fled ye vanished,
I ask, you do not tell!
I search, I roam abroad, at home
I seek each much loved spot;
My labor ends, but ye, dear friends,
Like Rachel's babes, "are noil"
I ask the deep, if thero ye sleep,
, Liko sea-nymphs in u shell, ,
And echoes sweet, my words repeat,
But Oceans will not tell.
I ask the skies if there ye fly,
With angels "bright and fair;.
Each silver star, that shines afar,
If ye arc singing there
1 ask each stream whoso glancing beam
Makes glad each flowery dell;
Euch bird, each wood, each crag, each flood
But nono of these will tell!
I ask the crowd, so gay and loud,
If in its maze ye hide;
The city's throng, which floats along,
If down its course ye glide;
From hallowed ground, the solemn sound
Of distant 'passing bell"
Attracts my mind, and then I find
The truth its tidings tell.
Friends of my youth, I know tho truth,
No longer need I ask,
My conscious heart, though keen the smart,
Tears oif the selfish mask.
The greedy tomb, in its dark womb,
Conceals your form from sight;
And now all-blest yo aro at rest,
In realms n here frowns no night!
'Tis sweet to dwell in hawthorn dell,
And roam tho groves among;
To climb the mount, to haunt the fount,
And catch each warbler's song;
To mark the graco of Nature's face,
In foliage, flower, or sod;
But oh! how great, how sweet the fate,
Who dwell with Nature's God!
'Tis sweet to while with friendly smile,
Life's troublous hours away;
From earth appears ' a vale of tears,'
And hastened to decay,
But oh! to Heaven much more is given!
Eye hath not seen its glory!
.Tim inv nf R.iinlq no nncla n!nla.
- j j -.- l i
f.Ear hath not heard the story!
"C-id Friends, and true! adieu adieu
In love ye dwell, beyond the spell
Of earthly woe or fear:
No mortal man your bliss may scan
'Mongst angels "bright and fair: "
Then may 1 rise to yon blue skies,
And Bharc your glory Here.

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism

'Ilaloo Father Wesley, I'm glad to sec

'Don't know rac? Why, sir, you arc
the very man who converted me.

My First Tarty.
BY A BLACKSTOXE.
Charles, you must go with me to Mr.
Brown's to-night,' said my pretty cousin.
I? Why, Ellen, you know ,
'That you have never been at a party
before, I suppose? So much the more
reason why you .should fgoHnow. Here
you are eighteen, and half tjtugh college.
It's high time to make a bdginning.
'I don't know what under heaven I
should do there.' $
'What all other young men do talk to
the ladies.'
Tm afraid I couldn't' do much in that
way. To tell the truth, I haven't small
talk enough for a party.'
'Vastly complimentary. But suppose
you pull down your great and towering
intellect a little, and condescend to lay a
side vour books for one night and mingle
with us ordinary mortals on a footing ofj
equality. It won t do you any serious in
jury.' 'But, Ellen, I have no invitation.'
'Because Mrs. Brown did not know you
were here, If she had heard of your arri
val in town, she would most certainly have
sent you one. Don't you remember she
gave you a general invitation last winter?'
I was not altogether convinced by this
logic, but my cousin was determined to
take no excuse. Finding escaped impos
sible, I resigned myself to my fate, and
went to Stewart's for a pair of kid gloves.
Parties and balls have always been my
especial detestation. I have often won
dered why they were invented, and after
many profound cogitations on the subject
could only find these two reasons first
to enable ladies and gentleman of fashion
to kill time; and secondly, to afford a sort
of market where young women may be
shown off to the best advantage, and young
men most easily entangled in the snares of
Cupid and Hymen. Now touching the
first of these motives, I never find the
hours hang heavy on my hands. Ars
lonra vita brevis. Art is long and life
is short, or as translated by Longfellow,
ae is long and life is fleeting, and 1 have
always quite as much to do as I can man
age. With respect to the second, I have
never been exactly matrimonially inclined,
and least of all just now, when it requires
all my energies to support my single self.
Heaven knows what I should do with a
wife.
The eventful hour of my first appear
ance drew nigh. I arrayed myself in full
suit, with pumps and silk stockings, i
abominate pumps they seem to have been
invented on purpose to cripple the wear
ers. Uut behold us, myselt and cousin,
entering Mrs. Brown's well filled parlor!
I heartily wished myself at home again,
or in spite of myselt I felt a sort ot all
overishness, which, as the novel writers
say, can be more easily imagined than de
scribed. We had exchanged the usual civilties
with our hostess, mv cousin was surround
ed by a group of beaux, and I stood still
without the slightest expectation ot what
was to follow, until Mrs. Brown introdu
ced me to a young gentleman who bow
ed shook hands alter the most approved
fashion.'
'Do you dance, Howard?'
Y-e-s, that is I believe I know how.'
'Let me have the pleasure of introdu
cing vou to a young lady, quoth he, lead
mg me in front of a Miss apparently some
fifteen years old.
'Miss Morrison, allow me to have the
pleasure of introducing you to Mr. How
ard.'
'Good evening, Miss Morrison,' said I,
executing a bow with all the grace I could
muster up. U1F shot my evil genius, leav
ing me subcultro.
'Very warm evening, Miss Morrison.
Miss Morrison replied in the afiirma
tive.
'But it was warmer yesterday,' continued
I, vigorously following up my first move
ment.
The lady assented to this proposition
likewise. 1 here was another lon pause
I began to feel fidgety. My ears, which
were growing red, were stunned by the
incessant clatter of tongues everywhere a
.... . . . J .
rounu me. i lie more 1 desired to say
something, the more I didn't know what
to say. At last an idea flashed across my
mind, and was instantly pressed into ser
vice.
Have you seen the exhibition of the
National Academy, Miss Morrison?'
'No sir, I have not!'
1 his was a complete damper. I was
utterly nonplussed. Happily at this mo
ment was heard the call, gentlemen, take
your partners for a cotillion.
1 led Miss Morrison to her place, trying
to recollect as much as I could of the steps
winch 1 had learned three years ao from
our colored servants. .
J ugglc, juggle, juggle, went the Piano.
'.forward two,' quoth the M. C. pro
tern, and off went the dancers. I believe
I trod on my partner's toes occasionally,
ana once or twice came very near run
mng over a small young lady who was
my vis a vis. But upon the whole, things
went off .as Well as could be expected.
Any thing for a change, as the vagabond
said when they took him too the watch
iiouse. The company decided that it was
too warm to dance, (I had been of that o
pinion some time previous) and determin
ed to have some music by way of variety.
Accordingly demand was made upon a
young lady, who, after declaring first that
she never sung, secondly that she did not
know how to sing, and thirdly that she
hadn't practiced for six' months, finally
marched up to the Piano in grand style.
I took Miss Morrison in tow, as a sailor
would say, and sauntered in the same
direction, on the principle of what mathe
nnti'Mins call the sufficient reason, to wit:
because there was no particular motive for
going any where else. The fair perfor
mer at fength succeeded in finding one to
her taste. My eyes accidentally caught
the title. 1 o my surprise it was not an
Indian, but a beautiful Scotch ball ad.
The beautiful artiste commenced. She
lengthened out the sweet strains as if she
could never have enough of them like a
fly crawling through a pot of honey. An
noyed beyond measure at the performance,
I leaned against the corner of the Wall, and
sought the last refuge of the miserable.
I was awakened by a grand crash. A
young lady with any amount of mouth
and a very small quantity of nose, was do
ing execution on the unfortunate instrument
at the rate of twenty knots an hour, and
letting loose upon society a vast number
of words in some unknown tongue, pitch
ed in the shrillest treble; while a young
gentleman with one side of his collar turn
ed up and the other turned down; was ac
companying her in the. desperate, kind of
oass. i listened out ot pure astonishment,
and soon distinguished the words dove,
dove, dove, in the loudest conceivable tone,
amid terrible thundering of the Piano.
Now it is not surprising that hearing
these words so often repeated. I should
have felt some curiositv in lnm thnlr
meaning. I looked anxionslv nrnnml in
hopes of discovering some one from vwhom
the desired information might be obtained.
To my great relief I recognized two old
school mates whom I had not before ob
served.
'Can you tell me what dove means?' I
asked.
'Do veay? (I knew nothimr of Italian.
and he. knew less.) 'Why, go away, to
ut; sine
Not feeling quite certain of the correct
ness of his vcrison, I applied to the sec
ond. 'Do-vc? I believe it is the Italian for
love,' and with this lucid explanation I
was obliged to rest content.
The ducttc, like all other sublunarv
things, come to an end in the course of
time. Some one else, in the mean time.
had made away with Miss Morrison, and
I was left to my own resources. First I
stood in one corner a few minntns. ami
then went over to another and stood there
next I tried to listen to a song which
was being murdered, but the . instinct of
self preservation soon compelled me to
retire to a respectable distance. Then I
trod on a lady's toe, and asked her pardon
for so doing. Even this incident afforded
me great relief.
Suddenly a fan was dropped, I spran
forward like a young comet, nearly de
molishing the object, seized the fallen ar
ticle, and turned to present it to the owner.
nut just at that instant a waiter entered the
room with a tray of stewed oysters. In
turning, I ran against him he fell over.
and the contents of the tray poured head
long, a perfect cataract, into the lady's lap!
x iiere was a scream ana a rush.
But I heard no more. I darted from
the room, and have not been to a party
since.
"Two in a Bed'
The following laughable occurrence, which
bears the recommendation of bei g no fiction,
was related to us some time ago, and as wc
have never 6een it in print, wo tell the talo to
our readers as it was told to us.
Ned and Charley were room mates, but thev
occupied different beds. Ned's sleeping appa
ratus was so situated that .he could get into
cither side that is to say there were two fore
sides to his bed, and no back side which Ned
found very convenient on certain occasions.
One night Ned and Charley had been out
and on returning, w hich they did near morning
both were considerably elevated. However,
they walked up to their room with an air which
seemed to say, "not so very darned drunk after
all," and sought long and patiently for match
cs and a lamp. After knocking the pitcher off
the washstand, and smashing tho looking-glass
they finally gave up the search, and went to
bed.
Went to bed yes, that's the word but ow
ing to the darkness, and the confusion of their
senses, they made a slight mistake. In short
Ned's bed had tho honor of receiving the two
friends Charley getting in on one side, and
his companion rolling In on the other.
"I say Ned," cried Charley, touching somo
body's calf "there's a follow in my bod."
'Wonderful coincidence!" exclaimed Ned
feeling a strango elbow in the region of the
ribs, "there's a fellow in my bed too.'1
"Is there, though," cried Charley, let's kick
'em out."
Agreed," said Ned.
And accordingly the two friends began
to
Fkick. In about a minute and a half Ned was
sprawling on the floor, and Charley was left in
possession of the bed. For a moment after th
fall all was silent.
' "I say, Ned," cried Charley.
"What?" asked Ned sulkily.
"I've kicked my fellow out."
'You are a dcvclish sight more luckier than
I am, then," said Ned, "for mine has kicked
mc into ' the middle of the next J wo weeks."
"Is anything lost whin you know where
is iapiauu" asKca an irisn cook ono day
Certainly not, Tat," replied the Captain, "but
why do you ask that question?"
Faix, an I j ust dhropped the lay keltic over
board an come to ask yor honor whether it was
lost whin I knew it wis at tho bottom of the
say."
"Let go the jib there! quick! Let go!'
shouted the captain of an easlcru packet to a
raw hand, as a sudden squall came up.'" What's
all that ycllin about? I ain't touchin ycr jib!'
honcstlv retorted Jonathan.
Rccpiug up Fertility.
The object wc have in view in manu
ring our lands, is to keep up a constant
ertility which will enable us to reap lrom
them every year the largest possible crops.
It is but reasonable to suppose, then, that
constant cropping jvould speedily exhaust
any soil unless we return to it, in some
shape or other, those substances of . which
. . i . .1 11a
we deprive it, and that tins is in reainy
the fact, every day's experience prove to
w . I I I l 4 lln

are in a green anu succuiuiii vuuuiuuu,
he fertility: of the soil is much increased.
This proceeds from the quantity of nu
triment those plants have attracted from
the atmosphere during their growth; so
that by their being plowed into ine sou
whereupon they had grown, they afforded
to it a much greater amount of substance
than they received from it, consequently
whatever excess they may furnish, so far
enriches the soil.
Some plants are much more remarkable
in this respect that others: lor instance,
uccrnc or clover plowed into the soil pre-
lOUS to UlOSSOmillg, Cliricuus iicALttuiiig-
y. This is what is somctirues called
ffrccn soiling;' and by it the plant used is
made the means of carrying to the soil the
carbon and ammonia, which in its growth
it extracts from the atmosphere'. It also
ppropriates to its own use the excremen-
titious matter deposited by other descrip
tions of planis growing in the soil previ
ously, and deposits its own excrement, for
others succeeding it. In the middle and
northern parts of the United States, and
cold climates, this excrementitious matter
voided by plants, is much longer passing
into putrifaction than in tropical countries;
the necessity, therclorc, ot adopting a ro
tation of crops is much greater in the for
mer than in the latter. I
All plants void excrements, which when
acted on by air and moisture, purify and;
become converted into 'humus, or vegeta-
61c matter common to all plants, and exer
cises a very beneficial inlluencc on land,
by furnishing it with a substance capable
of being converted into humus, which is
so desirable in a soil; but plants cannot
ong be replanted m the same soil without
being seriously affected by their own ex
crement so much so at length they alto
gether fail. Artificial aid, however, indu
ces a more speedy conversion ot this mat
ter into humus, than would otherwise take
place, which is affected by frequently turn
ing up the soil with the plow or the hoe, so
as to expose the excrement to the influ
ence of the atmosphere, and by irrcga-
ig the land with river water; as
the water of rivers and streams contains
oxygen in solution, it effects the most ra
pid putrefaction of the excrementitious
matter contained in the soil which it pene
trates.
How to Enlarge Vegetables.
A vast increase of food may be obtained
by managing Judiciously, and systemati
cally carrying out for a time the principles
of increase. I ake for instance, a pea
Plant it in very rich ground; allow it to
bear the first year, say half a dozen pods
only, remove all others, save the largest
the following year, and retain of the pro
duce three pods only; sow the largest the
lollowmg year and retain one pod; again
select the largest and the next year the
sort will by this time have trebled its size
and wcijrht. Ever afterwards sow the
largest seed, and by this means you til
get. peas, or anything else, ot a bulk of
which we at present have no conception.
