Allegheny.
BT ELIZABETH Q. BARRETT.
Green old hills! our country's glory,
Proudly in the midst jou stand,
Linked with many a sweet old story
Theme of many a minstrel band.
Northward, southward, broadly stretching,
Where the Susquehanna gleams,
Through Virginia's land of beauty.
Far away to Southern streams.
Here the dusky hunters proudly
Chased the deer in days gone by,
Here the mountain echoes loudly
Woke their warrior's battle-cry;
Here the white invader boldly
Drove him from Lis home away.
And the winds are sighing sadly
While be takes his westward way.
Green old hills of Allegheny,
Oh! to climb your heights once more!
Westward lie the mighty rivers,
Eastward frowns the Atlantic shore.
Oh! with proud heart bounding wildly
On yon highest cliff to stand!
While Columbia's sweetest vallios
Sleep beyond on either hand.
Green old hills, our couotry's glory.
Wo will proudly sing your praise,
You shall be the theme of story,
Wake the minstrel's sweetest lays.
Fa to may bid our footsteps wander,
Yet for you cacli spirit thrill,
Nought our faithful hearts shall sunder
From our country's green old hills!
The Chareh-yard Stile-
BY ELIZA COOk.
I left thee young and gay, Mary,
When last the thorn was white;
1 went upon my way, Mary,
And all the world seemed bright;
For though my love had ne'er been told,
Yet, yet I saw thy form
Beside me in the midnight watch,
Above me in the storm.
And many a blissful dream I had,
That brought thy gentle smile,
Just as it came when last we leaned
. Upon the Church-yard Stile.
I'm hore to seek thee now, Mary,
As all I love the best,
To fondly tell thee now, Miry,
I've hid thee in my breast;
I come to yield thee up my heart,
With hope, and truth, and joy,
And crown with manhood's honcsl faith
Tho feelings of the boy.
I breathed thy name, but every pulse
Grew still and cold the while.
For I was told thou wert asleep,
Just by the Church yard stile.
Oh! years may pass away, Mary,
And sorrow lose its sting,
For time is kind, they say, Mary,
And flies with headlong wing;
The world may mako me old and wise,
And hope may have new birth,
And other joys and other ties
May link me to the earth;
But memory, living the last,
Shall treasure up thy smile.
That called me back to find thy grave.
Close to the Church-yard Stile.
Push. Keep pushing, if you run against
a snow bank or a rail fence, don't cm hL-
but push forward, or to one side, and go
on. It is of no use to cry and lament; it

Jrees Plant Trees.
Mr. Freas: I desire to call the atten
tion of our farmers particularly those
residing in villages or close neighbors to
the importance of planting trees as a means
of promoting health. Not only do trees
add greatly to the beauty of a place, but
thfiv also nurifv the air. The Greeks
planted trees in all their towns and villages,
and it is said by historians, that in Calchis,
in Eubaa, they were so numerous indeed
that the streets were hardly discernable in
consequence of the immense mass of foli
age by which they were overhung every
passage and alley-way being laterally
arched with trees, and bathe d m the cool
ing influence of their deep and refreshing
shadows. I do hope, Mr. Editor, that you
and your correspondents will not fail, fre
quently to improve the importance of
planting trees, for ornament as well as use,
upon the minds of our farming friends.
Let every man who this season owns a
homestead, or a rod of unoccupied soil,
plant at least one tree. For my own part
I intend to practice what I preach, and to
plant whenever and wherever I can find
the opportunity and chance. Any of our
forest trees will flourisR well and vigorous
ly, if carefully transplanted. Persons who
can do so may consultj their own tastes in
selecting; there are many kinds of indige
nous trees, both deciduous and evergreen,
which have a beautiful effect upon scenery.

Philadelphia County, Oct. 1, 1849.
Foints of lhe Horse.
A point of great importance in the fore
eg of a horse, is the proper setting on of
the arm, which should be strong, muscular
and long. By the length of this part in
the hare, added to the obliqu ity of the
shoulder, she can extend her fore-parts
farther than any other animal of her size;
in fact, she strikes nearly as far as the
greyhound that pursues her, by the help
of this lever. 1 he proper position ol the
arm of the horse, however, is the result of
an oblique shoulder. AVhen issuing from
an upright shoulder, the elbow joint, the
centre of motion here, ivill be inclined in
ward; the horse will be what is termed
pinned in his elbows,' which causes his
legs to fall powerless behind his body. A
lull and swelling fore-arm is one of the
most valuable points in a horse, for what
ever purposes he may be required.
If sportsmen were to see the knee of a
horse dissected, they would pay more at
tention to the form and substance of it than
they generally do. It is a very complica
ted joint, but so beautifully constructed,
that it is seldom subject to internal injury.
Its width and breadth, however, are great
recommendations, as admitting space for
the attachment of muscles, and for the ac
cumulation of ligamentous expansions and
bands, greatly conducive to strength. The
shank or cannon bone, can scarcely be too
short. It should be flat; with the back
sinews strong, detached, and well braced.
This constitutes what is called a 'wiry
leg. Round legs are sure to fail.
As to the size of a horse, it may be re
marked that no very large animal has
strength in proportion to its size. That
the horse has not, the pony affords proof,
if any other were wanting. There have
been many instances of horses, little more
thanl4Jhands high, being equal to the
speed ol nounds over the strongest coun
ties in Lngland. For example, Mr. Wm.
Coke's pony,' as he was called, many

American Butler.
Y e cut the following paragraph from
the Scientific American. The subject is
one wormy ol attention.
lhe Uenesee Farmer, speaking of
American butter in England, says that by
ioreign accounts it is not so well packed or
made as the Irish or Dutch, and a great
quantity of it has to be sold for grease, as
ueing unnt tor use. We believe the evil
of this does not so much lie in the packing
as in me way ol collecting the cream. To
make good butter the milk should never be
turned when the cream is taken oflf. Let
care be exercised in this respect, and then
we win always nave sweet butter from
sweet cream. Or let the milk be churned
without skimming the way in which the
oesi Duuer is produced. It would be well
to pack the butter firkens inside of lamer

Irish Emigrants-
John G. Whittier, the Quaker poet, in
wntins about the
lnsn
emigrants among
us, says:
"ror myselt 1 leef a svmDathv for tho

a generous, warm hearted, cruelly oppress-

"A stranger m a strange land, he is to
me always an object of interest. The
poorest and rudest has a romance in his
history. Amidst all his gaiety of heart and
national drollery and wit, the poor emi
grant has sad thoughts of the 'ould mother
of him,' sitting lonely in her solitary cabin

seemingly careless and light-hearted la

to abandon one's country and household
gods. Touching and beautiful was the
injunction of the Prophet ol the Hebrews:
Ye shall not oppress the strangertbr ye
know the heart of the stranger, seeing
that ye were strangers in the Jand of
Egypt.'
Educate Yonrself.
Knowledge is its own exceeding great
reward. It is not the gift of a college,
particularly. It is what the mind produ
ces whenever it acts. Great schools are
chiefly appliances for the lazy, to furnish
substitutes for knowledge, by which to
make their way in the world. A youth
so much benefitted bv a "liberal educa
tion" as he is apt to imagine he will be.
before trying it. If your parents are rich,
and have nothing better to do with their
money, let them board you at Cambridge
or Yale for four years. But if they are
poor, laboring people, stay with them and
labor too. But don't the less strive fora
liberal education. Be liberal in supplying
yoursetfwith books and time. Journey
on foot and study nature and men. Ask
questions of everybody and everything.
Ihus doing, you will probably acquire
more satisfactory and useful knowledge,
and what is more, sounder character and
firmer health you will be more of a man
than if you distress your parents to have
knowledge put into your mouth with a
pap-spoon. It is thus that the greatest
and best men are made in every country.
GOOD SOCIETY.
It should be the aim of young mento go
ito good society. "We do not mean the
rich, the proud and fashionable, but the
society of the wise, the intelligent and good.
V here you find men that know more
than you do, and from whose converation
one can gain information, it is always safe
to be found. It has broken down many
man by associating with the low and
vulgar where the ribald song was inculca
ted and the indecent story to excite
laughter and influence the bad passsions.
Lord Clarendon has attributed his success
and happiness in life, to associating with
persons more learned and virtuous than
himself. If you wish to be wise and re
spected if you desire happiness and not
misery, we advise you to associate with
the intelligent and the good. Strive for
mental excellence and strict integrity, and
vou never will be found in the sinks of
pollution, and on the benches of the retailers
and gamblers. Once habituate yourself to
a virtuous course once secure a love of
good society, and no punishment would be
greater than by accident to be obliged for
half a day to associate with the low and
vulgar.
A Funny Dud
In St. Louis there is a great sausage
maker, named Carl Amburster, who was
lately challenged to fight a duel by some
bellicose individual. In reply he sent the
following ferocious epistle:
I, Carl Amburster, sausage maker in
chief to the irreat Democratic faction of
- o
Missouri, do accept your challenge to mor
tal combat, on foot, or on horseback, in
suits of mail, or in male shirts, under the
following conditions to wit: the battle-field
to be Ambruster's sausage factory, St.
George district; distance two hundred feet
weapons, two formidable Ambruster Lal
ifornia sausages;' obituary notices to be
naid before battle; the combatants to re
pair after demise, in full haste to 'Adam's'
where their remains shall be embalmed
cac with two gallons of porter, and cheese
in proportion. Liberty and Lard!
Carl Ambrcster.
Almost an Elopement-
Thursday afternoon, says the Boston
Bee, when the cars were about starting
New York, a gentleman, with a very pret
ty young girl of sixteen summers, entered
the station rather hurriedly, and deposited
his baggage on board and took checks for
the same. He immediately proceeded to
purchase his ticket, and as he had not much
time to spare he took the young lady by
the hand and was gently conducting her
into the cars, but just as he wus entering
his heart beating almost audibly with de
light at his fair prospect of a pleasant 'trip
to York, his wife walked up behind him
and o-ave him a smart little pat on his
shoulders probably nothing more than
love pat and said, 'come husband, I want
you at home.
CFThe Secretary of Wai. has been for
the last few davs on an official visit to
New York, with a view to the inspection
of the military posts and defences in the
port, preparatory to his report to Congress
at its first meeting in December HoJsft
on Saturday for Washington.
EFThey are going to build a line o
magnetic telegraph between Valparaiso
and Santiago, in South America. So
much for association with our people.
Yon can't come it
This phrase, and the gyration of the fin
gers round the nose, is older than most
persons are aware. In works of Rabel
eis, book 2nd, chapter 19 is found the fol
lowing; 'Panurge suddenly lifted in the air his
right hand, and put the thumb thereof into
the nostril of the same side, holding his
four fingers straight out, and closed orderly
in a parallel line to the point of his nose,
shutting the left eye wholly, and making
the other wink with a profound depression
of the eye-brows and eyelids. Then lifted
he up his left hand, with hard wringing
and stretching forth his four fingers and
elevating his thumb, which he held in a
line directly correspondent to the situation
of his right hand, with the distance of a
cubit and a half between them. This done
in the same form he abased towards the
ground both the one and the other hand.
Lastly, he held them in the midst, as aim
ing right at the
Englishman.'
Punctuality. Method, as MrsMoore
says, is the very hinge of business; and
there is ro business without punctuality.
Punctuality is important because it sub
serves the peace and good temper of a fam
ily; the want of it not only infringes on
necessary duty, but sometimes excludes
this duty. Punctuality is important as it
gams time; it is like packing things in a
box; a good packer will gel in halt as much
more as a bad one. The calmness of
mind which it produces is another advan
tage of punctuality; a disorderly man is
always in a hurry; he has no time to speak
with you, because he is going elsewhere;
and when he gets there he is too late for
his business, or he must hurry away to
another before he can finish it. It was a
wise maxim of the Duke of Newcastle
"I do one thing at a time. Punctuality
gives weight to character "such a man
has made an appointment then I know that
he will keep it." And this generates
punctuality in you for like other virtues,
it propagates itself.
HThe handsomest specimen of the 'art
of printing" is a S 1,000 bank note.
