How Softly on the "Bruised Heart.
BT C. D. STEWART.
How softly on the bruised heart
A word of kindness falls.
And to the dry and parched soul
The moistening tear drop calls;
Ob, if they knew, who walk the earth
Mid iorrow, grief and pain.
The power a word of kindness hath,
'Twere paradise again-
The weaken, and the pooreat, may
This simple pittance give.
And bid delight to withered hearts
Return again and live;
O, what is life if love b losif
If man's unkind to man:
Or what the heaven that waits beyond
Thie brief bet mortal span?
At stars upon the tranquil sea
la mimic glory shine,
So words of kindness in the heart
Dstray their source divine:
0 then, be kind, whoe'er thou art,
That breathest mortal breath,
And it shall brighten all thy life.
And sweeten every death.
Waste not a Moment.
Bf CHARLES LESTER.
Tnere is uu time, in any clime.
That should bo unemployed;
An active mind will never rind
There's nothing dull and void.
All things that live, some charms will give,
If sought without delay;
From year to year I seem to hear
This truthful voice of Wisdom say,
Waste not a moment:
The singing birds, in simple words.
An ever truthful lesson, tell,
That indolence by no pretence,
Can fill our earthly mission well.
Go, watch them work, they never lurk,
In indolence about;
Throughout the day, you'll find that they,
While the light of day is out,
Wasto not a moment!
If you at ease, your mind would please,
Let not the lime be wasted;
But take a book, and through it look,
- Ana when its sweets you've tasted.
Pursue it well, and on it dwell,
And find some truthful lay
To feed your mind, and then you'll fiuJ
The voice of Holy Truth v ill say,
Waste not a moment!
Heed not mankind, who are so blind
To look but at tbo covers;
Like maidens fair, who only caro
For the appearance of their lovers ;
But search for truth, aspiring youth,
"Tis always worth your finding,"
My plain advice is small In price
Fou'll find it 'neath the binding
Waste not a moment!
In every hour we have the power
To do some little good:
if ws a neighbor help to labor,
'Tis only doing what we should;
For we were sent with the intent.
Upon this fertile land,
Jlinand brother, help one another.
For 'tis thy God's command,
Wadte not a mement!
A Practical Joke.
Not very long since, a small farmer in
little village in Somersetshire, who prided
himself on his cheeses, in a fit of unwon
ted generosity for he was a penurious man
sent to her majesty Queen Victoria a
prime cheese, A person giving to practi
cal jokes knowing this, bought an eighteen
penny gilt chain, and sent in a letter, pur
porting to be from her majesty, appointing
her "well beloved", mayor of the village,
in the document exalted into a corporate
town, but whereof he, the said mayor,
formed the sole body and whole authori
ty. The ignorant poor man swallowed
the bait, and called the village together;
gave an ox to be roasted whole, and walk
ed at the head of the invited procession.

weeks exhibited the insignia of royal auto

Black Lead for Pencils.
The lead from which dp ncil points are
made comes from the largest pencil plumba
go mine in the world, Borrowdale, Cumber
land, England. It is situated in a hill,
and instead of being worked constantly.
nice oiner mines, is opened once a year,
when a sufficient quantity is taken out to
supply the world for the year to come,
when it is again closed with strong doois,
bars and locks until the next annual sup

Elizabeth, it is said, that all the fine pen
cils in the world have been made of the
J'ack lead of this mine.
An Irishman, on arriving in this coun

Improied FarmiDg.
It is admitted that we may learn the
principles of farming by study, then
why in the name of common sense, may
we not study books? "Why should we De
compelled to grope along in darkness,
when we may walk firmly and seeurely
would we but open our eyes? A young
man comes into possession of a farm of
poor light soil, upon which his predeces
sors raised by dint of hard labor, a small
crop of hay and potatoes,""and a smaller
crop of stinted corn; now shall he toil on
all hi3 days in ploughing, sowing, and
cropping his field, in the same way and
with the same result? or rather would it
not be better to farm a little by the book,
to learn the nature of soils and the differ
ent effects and qualities of manure; to in
troduce the - culture of other crop3, and
thus bv a little book science double his
produce and the value of his land at the
same time? It is allowed that even those
who have a horror of book knowledge,
! adopt improvements as soon as they can
see them practised with success in their
neighborhood; but they adopt only when
they see them; and if all others were to
do as they do, nothing new would ever
lake place amongst them- lo be sure
i there are some new modes of cultivation
jand new articles of culture which find
their way by this mode, but they are in
troduced too slowly; they do not keep
pace with the improvements of the age;
the good old way is adhered to, merely
because it is old, and a thorough contempt
is often felt for new things, and especially
if they are taught by book, merely because
they are new. It was this spirit and feel
ing that was the cause of' many of our
most valuable crops remaining for years
out of cultivation in many part3 of the
country, while elsewhere they had been
introduced and found to be of immense
advantage to the cultivators of the soil;
and the ruta baga and other roots are as
yet but partially known, and scarcely tol
erated even now. It was forty years af
ter spinach was introduced into the gard
ens of the opulent, before it could be pur
chased in the Boston market; the pie plant
or rhubarb, was twenty years in coming
into favor; the tomato, nearly as long;
while the sea kale, one of the most delici
ous vegetables known in England, has not
yet been able to tempt a single cultivator.
But this spirit is not conUned to our farm
ers and gardeners; for the medical faculty
at Paris proscribed a poisonous the pota
to, one hundred years after that plant
had raised millions of vigorous troops,
who, under Marlborough, had again and
again beaten the finest armies of France.
And I repeat, how few of our farmers
make any improvements, save those they
see instituted by their nearest neighbors!
! But why a man may not as well learn
trom the results of his neighbor s experi
ence and science, when studied in a book,
as when seen on a farm, it is difficult to
conceive; assuredly, the man who, enter
taining a contempt for scientific cultivation
merely beeause it is booh knowledge, will
soon find himself growing worse in his
circumstances; while his enlightened
neighbor will be taking advantage of the
improvements arising from the study of
the science oi sericulture, anc bettennir
his condition. To this science, obtained
by reading and study, iMr. Coke, of
Iiollham, indebted for the unparalleled in
crease in the value of h-? estate. Some
sixty years aero, he inhuated a tract of
poor land in the county of Norfolk of the
value of $8000 per annum, but by read
ing and study, has raised his income to
$200,000, or 24 times its original value!
But if he had only adopted what he saw
his neighbors do, his whole estate would
have been a vast rabbit barren- Farmers

Look to your Weeds-
There are few farms in the country, and
pity it is that this can be said with truth,
on which there are nomore or less weeds
that do not require close attention to pre
vent their seeding, or otherwise spreading
m tne course ot the summer. m There is
the thistle, which should be repeatedly
mowed, if in pasture land, or if among
hoed crops, cut it wth the hoe as often as
makes its appearance. There is the Johns
wort, crowding out the valuable grasses,
poisoning sheep, and giving horses chap
ped noses and legs, it they are so unlucky
as to be white; be careful not to let this go
to seed. There is the sweet elder, that
is becoming far too common; we do not
require it for distillation or to color wines

preparing inouiation ior ourselves and
neighbors. There is the life-everlastinff
a worthless intruder, that occupies the
ground exclusively where it spreads, and
mai is rapiuiy, witen n is onceallowed i
foothold. See that this weed is effectual
ly demolished wherever it appears. Look
on your spring sown grain, and if full
of yellow blossoms j-ou will probably find
that charlock is in your fields, and if it is
not pulled promptly and completely, you
may nna Dusmess tor years in attempting
vainly its extirpation. The crowfoot of
your meadows, or the daisy of your pas
tures, must be looked to, else Jean cattle
may he expected when fat beasts should
be looked for. In short, allow nothing to
be in your fields tl.at usurp the place of
more valuable plants, lessens the amount
of your crops, or renders your fields a

Voluntary Return to Slavery. A col
ored woman by the name of Ellody who
belongs to an estate entrusted to the man -
agement of Hugh Nelson, Esq., of Pe
tersburg, Va. voluntarily returned to Rich
mond last week, in a vessel from Boston.
She left the family ol Mr. Ruft while vis
iting in Boston in September last but the
Richmond Times says she prefers servi
tude in Virginia to liberty in Boston., '
Making a Mark. A captain of a sloop
at one of our wharves hired a Yankee, a
"green hand," to assist in loading his
sloop with corn. Just as the vessel was
about to set sail, the Yankee, who was jin
gling the price of his day's work in his
pantaloons, cried out from the wharf,
"Say, you capting! I lost your shovel o
verboard, but I cut a big notch on the rail
fence around the starn, right over the spot
where it went down, so't you ll your shov
el when yeou come back."
A very good story is told of Barnum
the museum man. He has recently open
ed an establishment in Philadelphia in
front of which an immense - canvass sign
stretches across the street. The mayor in
formed him that the sign was in violation
of a city ordinance, and would subject him
to a fine of two dollars a day. Barnum
at once employed an Irishman to work on
us premises, at a dollar a day his first
duty in the morning being to enter a com
plaint against his master at the Mayor's of
fice, for his swinging sign, for which he is
entitled to one half the fine!
A fortune teller was arrested in Paris,
and carried before the tribunal of correc

great wit, but rather too fond of a joke for

cerer. "In this case, said the president,
'you know the judgment we intend to pro

Giviiig ill to His Better Half.
'Hey, hey! what's that? where, allow
me to ask, are you going at this time of
night, Mr. Snippe?' cried a lady, in notes
of ominous sharpness.
'Out, responded Snippe, with a heart
broken expression, like an afflicted mouse.
'Out, Indeed! where s out, I d like to
know? where's out that you prefer it lo the
comfortable pleasures of your own fire
side!'
'Out is nowhere in'particular, but every
where in general, to see what's going on.
Everybody goes out, Mrs. Snippe, after
tea, they do.'
'No, Mr. Snippe, everybody dou't do
I go out, Mr. Snippe, without being able
to say where I am going to? -No, Mr.
Snippe, you are not going out to frolic,
and smoke, and drink, and riot-round, up
on my money. If you go out, I'll go out
too. But you're not going out. Give me
that hat, Mr. Snippe, and do you sit down
there, quietly, like a sober respectable
man.' And Snippe did.

Letting Out.
An Irish tailor making a gentleman's
coat and vest too small, was ordered to
take them home and let them out. Some
days after, the gentleman enquiring for
his garments, was told by the ninth part
of an Irishman that his clothes happening
to fit a countryman of his, he had let them
out at a shilling a week.
