JU P 1 ' J v lg CD a !P x From the Dollar Newspaper. THE WIFE, To Her Husband in California. BY NEMO. Tho fire grows brightly, husband mine, Where thou hast often sat with me, Within our cozy, cottage home, That lieth io the quiet lea; But there is someth ing wanting'now. To make my spirit glad and light; A shadow still will darken there, And truant tear-drops dim the sight. The form that made our fireside glad; The voice that sweetly answered mine; The husband, and the doating eire Of yonder slumbering boy of thine; Oh! what a distance parts us now! What yearning love would break this gloom And call him to his wonted place, The exile from our joyous home? I would not that a thought of mine Should slay one effort of thy hand; I know the hcait's bold, honest aims, That bore to that ungenial land, And yet I can but fancy oft. How lone and comfortless thou art, With nono to give thoe kindly cheer; And none to Ehare thy noble heart. With none, oh God! perchance it Le, When sickness wastes thy manly frame, To minister the cooling draught, Arid stay the fever's raging flame; With none to whisper kindly then, As life seems ebbing fast each day. And speak of love, and hope and home. And yearning loved ones far away! Oh! there have been such bitter tears, O'er thy long, fearful abscence 6hed; And such wild throbbing of my heart. Which kept aye, in poignant dread, That I would barter all the gold, Obtained by life of hard employ, To see, and have thee, as of erst. To bless thy home, thy wife and boy! WfcLLSBURG , Va, 1850. The Language of Flowers Hcing present at a party not long since, our botanical knowledge was brought into requisition by several persons, who were desirous of sending boquels to their friends composed of flowers significant of their sentiments. As well as we are able we give the most approved floral language attached to the most common blossoms. It is a pretty thought to talk in flowers those brightly tinged things which God has strewed all over the hill sides and valleys. A celebrated botanist Linnajus, the Swede, we think in was told by their opening and closing. The language com monly attached to the Dahlia is Forever thine. Hyacinth Affection returned. Jonquil First love. Liue violet I aittifulness; or, 1 must be sought to be found. White Violet Modest virtue. All W Aituea i would not act contrary to reason.

Unless the farmer feeds his land it will not feed him. 2. All wet lands should be drained. By draining them, the most stiff and in tractable soils may be changed into fria ble ones; the labor of culture will be re duced, the quantity of products increased, and Jtheir quality improved; while the health of the place will also be improved. 3. Wet lands, which may need it should always be drained before application of lime or marl, and time should be allowed for the soil to become comparatively dry, before being ploughed, or the lime or marl applied. 4. Lands which may have been drained by covered drains, should be ploughed crosswise the drains, until the soil which surmounts them shall have become settled and firm." 5. It may be assumed as a fact, that lands which may have been in culture for a long series of years, without being limed will derive benefit from a dressing of lime or marl. 6. Stiff lands will bear heavier dressings of lime or marl, than sandy ones. Stiff lands which may have been in grass, will bear more than those whereon grass or clover had not been cultivated. First ap plications of lime or marl, to thin sandy lands, should always be small ones pre ceded by nutrative manures, second appli cations of lime or marl not to be repeated unless after such lands shall have been in grass or clover, or received large dressings of manures comprising much organic mat ters. 7. Deep tilth is conductive to fruitful ness in crops; but it possibly may be sa fest, to increase the depth gradually, ma nure with a free and liberal hand, and to apply lime each time the soil may be deep ened, which sould never exceed more than one or two inches of the hard nan, in one year; that to be regulated by the character of the subsoil to be turned up. Such deep- cnings, should always be made in the fall, to give the inverted soil the benefit of the neutralizing effects of the lime, and the disintegrating influence of the winter s frosts. Twenty-five bushels of freshly slacked lime per acre, spread over the upturned earth, would answer for such purpose. 8. As to what is nutritive manure, it may be defined to be, any animal sub stance, the excretions of animals, or any vegetable substances, as anything which has had life and has the power of repro duction. 9. All lands which may have been limed or marled, should be speedily thereafter set in clover or grass, as permanent lm provement cannot be effected, without the sou be so treated as to keep up a stock o organic matter therein, to be wrought up into food by the decomposing action of the lime or marl. The calcareous element in each, which is the great principle in either that renders it effective, requiring where withal to work with. 10. As the late Judge Peters, said: Far mers should value manure as a miser does his strong box should grasp after it and hoard it as eagerly and anxiously as a cov etous man accumulates treasure. 11. One of the best methods of apply ing lime to light sandy lands is to make a compost of lime and clay; work it over well, several times so as to mix the lime intimately with the clay; topdress the laud with the mixture, after being ploughed, and then harrow the compost in. Ten loads of clay and 25 bushels of lime, thus treated would form an excellent dressing for an acre of such land, and would have the double effect of supplying the soil with the necessary calcareous principle, and of amending its texture. 12. Orchards, to ensure continued fiuit fulness and fair fruit should be periodically manured, in order that the food carried off annually in the fruit, should be restored to the soil. Six parts peat and two of lime, would form on excellent dressing, in the proportion of twenty loads to the acre; the cost of which might be covered, by grow ing a crop of corn, potatoes, or other roots thereon, the year of any such application. 1 3. Orchards should not be kept perma nently in grass, as it answers for a harbor for vermin, while it robs the trees of the food that should be appropriated to them. Jim. Farmer. A Wonderful Piece of Mechanism. The Paris correspondent of the St Louis Republican gives the following ac count of a wonderful clock invented by a French farmer: A M'onderful clock has just been invent ed by a trench farmer, which deserves notice. He is a j'oung man, scarcely twenty years of age, with no other edu cation than that which the children of a country peasant usually receive. The clock is made of wood, and is called by me inventor the "Moving Calender." It has several dials to mark the hours, the minutes, the seconds, the days of the week, the length of the months, the num ber of months in a year, the years and the centuries, the rising and lhe setting of the sun, the moon, &c, and all ih with an accuracy and precision truly re markable. The works, artistically placed behind a glass, permit visitors to understand, in a ixhort timr, the finish of everything, and the regularity of all the movements. Above the dials and wheel works, on a surface about a yard long, runs a beauti ful little gallery, with cells in the middle, and a tower at each end. When the hour is about to strike, the door of a cell opens and Death appears armed with his scythes, and pursued by Jesus Christ, with a whip in hand, who chases Death before him, pushes him and shuts him up in another cell. At the first stroke of the hour, a little cock perches on the cross which surmounts one of the towers, flaps his wings and stretches fortln his neck as if he was about to crow. When the hour has finished striking, Death and Christ return to their respec tive cells, and entering shut the door. 1 hree times a day, at six o clock in the morning, at mid day, and at six in the evening, by means of ingenious mech anism, the sound of the Angelus is heard. The Virgin Mary then come out of a cell, appears on the gallery and then kneels down in a little oratory. At the same moment an angel descends from a tower; he agitates his wings, and finally places himself at a short distance from the virgin; he inclines himself as if to salute her. She becomes troubled, trembles, and seems evidently frightened. All this passes during the first three strains of the Jlngelus. The angel re-ascends and makes three salutations, while the virgin returns to her cell. All the wheel-works of this admirable machine are of wood or copper, and fin ished in a perfect manner. The inventor has conceived everything executed every thing himself; during the day he worked in the fields, and at night, bv the dim light of a little lamp, in one corner of his garret, he made his clock. It is now visi ted and admired by persons from all parts of the country, who, upon examining it, are astonished that it should have been by a man wholly ignorant of the rules of mathematics and mechanism. He IVore a Flashy JFaistcoat. "He wore a flasy waistcoat, on the night when first we met with a famous pair of w his kers, and imperial of jet. His air had all the haughtiness, his voice the manly tone; of a gentleman of eighty thousand dollars, all his own. I saw him. but a moment, and methinks I see him now, with a very flashy waistcoat, and a beaver on his brow. And once again I saw that brow no neat Bebee was there, but a shocking bad un was his hat, and matted was his hair. He wore a brick within that hat, the charge was all complete, and he was flanked by constables, who marched him up the street. I saw him but a moment, yet methinks I see him now, charged by these worthy officers with kicking up a row." "When strolling in the country with the girls, always hold a parasol over their heads. It not only keeps the sun from injuring their complexion, but it often affords you an opportunity of exchanging hps even when the old folkcs are within listening distance. Albany Dutchman. Looking' Aice. A term invented to keep boys offlhe grass, and make girls consumptive. Inpur opinon, dirt is one of the very elements of health, and no boy should he denied his legitimate share thereof. Clean children are always "pale and interesting.
