The Maiden's 'raver.
BY J. GC WHIT TINS.
She rose from her delicious sleep,
And put away her . soft brown hair,
And, in a tone as low and deep
As love's first whisper, breathed a prayer;
Her snow-white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The foltlaitlinen on her !moot.
Jtist'sWelling with the oilts it hid.
.444 1 0
And, from her long and flowing dress
• Escaped 11 bi 01) and snowy foot,
Whose steptipett the earth did press
Like a !now late, white and mute ; •
And then ft,'oin slumbers, soft and warm,
Like a young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed , that Might and matchless form,
And lininbly piayed to be forgiven.

Traveling Correspondence.
VICKSBURG, MISS., May 3, 1858.
We saw but little of 'Memphis. It was
night when we arrived there. We stopped
but a moment; long enough, however, for
some of us to telegraph home. It is said to
be a city of thirty thonsand inhabitants, is
lighted with gas, and we know it made& fine
appearance as we approached it. As this is
the only port of any note between St. Louis
and Vicksburg, all the passengers went aloft
to see • the town, and, we all admired it much.
A small basket!full of ,"der trafer,',' letters
was mailed , here, which it is lipped Uncle

forests around',ue.- , The.egg ; shaped tops 'of
the trim cottonwood trees, standing rank-and
file on the place where the shores .of this
majestic river ought to be, keep silent but
constant vigil over the movements of their
royal master, and.greatly aid him in driving
back the encroachments of man. In -Ten
nessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi nature
stands, and will I think long continue to
stand, in' all' her primeval grandeur and
glory. here and there , the bold
Yankee has, dared to erect a hut and . cleara
field, or build ,a town, old Neptune , as,spread
out his. arms and swept all. to desolation,
saying, " I am the 'king of waters; there-

John Rodgers', familiesfof blacks and whites
live, I might be charged : with, an undue ex
pansion of the truth.: But this is a fact,
as many who rca4:l this will testify. We
"rounded to" at one of these ,places, in the
State ; of . Mississippk We wanted wood, and
:.we got it too. It wn".brought in flat boats
through the, woods, from : the back country.
As our , mighty beat turned' her
,hroadside to
:shore and proudly drifted landward, she
rolled the waves before her, and theY lashed
aiainet the little porch and door sill of one
of these dismal homes. A negro woman sat
on the porch, and a white one stood in
. the
door, and both were apparently as uncon
cerned 88 any one would be at the undula
tions of ripening grain before the gentle
breathings of a Summer's morning. And
when our boat banked out, the white woemu
waved and kissed her hand, and the darkey
bowed a friendvaidieu to us'alf.'

And may, we not hope, that even amid , this

has some sweet flowers growing that will, some

A Death-Bed• 14quntU,uioe.
the Autumn of, 184-,
was called to visit, as was.supposedi
the death bed of -a young man noted for hie,
immorality, who th fit of intoxication had
bebn thrown lioni his wagon and
• ieriously.
injured. Standing on the ,brink of the
grave, his life appeared to him as ,never be
fore, while the future filled him with dread-.
ful apprehension. He sent for the Minis._
ter, and soon it was said of ,the
"Behold, he prayetht" ..
yjsitcd
him, and to all, confessions of. penitence and
exhortations to repent: were made... Bitterly,
lie woui tied h
.is niisspent life:aud deeply he,
.re retied his inability to do aught for,, that
,Saviour whose love he had so long abnsed:
To , the surprise of all, the young man, of
lingering many weeks, began to recover;
and aad to say, as health returned, former
propensities resumed their control; , long in
dulged • habits loudly for their gratifi
cation, and it was soon evident that no 'work
of grace had really taken place in his heart.
Death appearing again at a distance, began
to lose its terror; and !gilds convictions had
arisen from fear, so when the cause was re
moved they died away. Regardless of shame,
no lengths of sin were too'great for him; he
proved himself tenitimes more the child of .
;Satan thin before; and riciw , lives a profane
scoffer at godliness, and a willing' corrupter
of others.
Would that those who are postponing con
version to some future period, might be per
suaded not to put off the needful work till
the last; lest their repentance be a false gift
and self
.delusion, or lest, after trifling with
the !Spirit of God, they be left to fill up the
measure of their sin, to be hardened in their
iniquity, and thus to " eat of the fruit of
their own way, and be filled with their own

said Jane, " I want you to go down the lane

notice in your issue of.
the4sth instivan article on - the' fruit. crop,,
copied from the Cincinnati Gazette, which
was, written,early in,the presentinonth, May,
and, as I think, fails to exhibit the actual
state of things on that subject at this time..
During the last two weeks we have not
had more than two or three -days free from
rain; and these exceptions subitituted warmth
for wet; and as the latter part of April was
also extremely rainy, Tor the result we have
a remaikable condition of the vegetable,
world, which is likely to deeply affect the
ensuing crops favorably or otherwise s , - as the
ease may be. I could say much on this
important point, but a5 .. .1 design this article
to be, of a practical character, I shall not enter
upon any Speculation or conjectural views.
I reside in Hamilton County, Ohio, six miles
out from „Cincinnati, and cultivate pretty
closely a lot of over six acres; more than
two-thirds of this is occupied in meadow,
including the space covered with garden and
.buildings,. and
,my corn:and pOtOo 3 ,pate!tes.

which Ido not compute, except 'to say that
they illustrate the adage, " plenty as black
berries." Besides these, I have five hun
dred bearing currant bushes, and a number
of young plants of the same. My gooseber
ries are the Houghton's Seedling, which as
they never mildew, and are equal in flavor
to the pure English gooseberries, and sur
pass them in productiveness, have entire
ly banished the exotic article from gardens in
this Vicinity. My raspberries, are the red
Antwerp, Brinkle s Orange, and the Fran-
Conk. Of these, I value the last highest for
general purposes• My strawberries are Long
worth's prolific, M'Avoy's superior, and the
Washington. The currants and blackber
ries are of the ordinary sort. Of cherries,
I have almost every variety, but the trees
are generally of the finer sort---Black, Tar
tarian, Bigarrean, Carnation, Medoc, (cor
ruptly Maydnke) Yellow Spanish, and Early
May. The hist is myfavorite. I bavnalso
the Morello, licdheart,, and the old Mazzard
or Blackheart,. both Valdable in their several
spheres: Of Paaches, I have all the fine va
rieties,,l believe, and many seedlings; which
last, as a general rule, I prefer raising.
Let,nie now speak of the weather. Up
to dna date, the 17th, the farmers have not
been able to put an Indian corn on account
of the 'dredchad' Condition of the earth.
Whether the wheat will suffer or profit by
the exuberant moisture, is a problem yet fu
tura. The grass is growing in an extraordi
.nary degree, and-if there shall .be at the pro
per time suitable weather ta',reduce it to hay,
it will be the largest crop of the, article.ever.
known.. Much of the rain has fallen under
a temperature,,but the two or three days
'of sunshine to which I have alluded, start
ed :veg,etatioir in - an unprecedented. degree.
t ßaapberry shoots of ten inches in length,
: were rendered twice as long . and nearly
twice as thick during that period, and now
with the - bushes soaked and heavy with wet,
they are at the mercy of every high wind
that mayoccur, under the agitation of which,
they will. probably lamp off, like pipestems.
My cherries And peaches have suffered
partially from frost, but, I shall haie a fair
'crop of both. Apples promise abundantly.
So do pears. -
It may be recorded ,as a remarkable fact,
and ; oontrary to ordinary experience, that
my strawberries planted Out . this Spring, are
'likely' to produce' as abundantly as those
which have been left in their list year's bed.
This is ascribable,_ simply, to the_ exuberant
rain.
I - . owe my favorable,. proapeets of small
fruits to, working, among them ,and trans

that, when bushes are kept clear, of woods at
the commencement of such a season as this,
; they grow so rank as to stifle all , under

.though..plantod originally four feet apart,
have, closed upon each other in the rows, so
that tbey can hardjybe separated by. he eye,
and between the rows where the plough had

How they Punish licankennuss . l4
We find the following paragraph in one of
our French exchanges :
"The Mayor of Douai has .jast published
an order that persons who get shamefully
drunk publio houses, and the 'proprietors
of such establishments who allow 'them Jo
become so; shall be fined and ilskiloned.
It appears that of late year, ditinkenness

' To one whose mind is not preoccupied by
a-theory on this subject, this will probably
seem to be a direct, practical; sensible way
of dealing with an acknowledged and.speci
fib evil, T9,get drunk. 41 public is an of
fence against .social order and decency, to
which there are two parties. The 4ayor of
Douai wastes no time in discussing the . nice
'ties of the question, but Tines andithpiisons

The -warm weather will shortly 'be here,
and every ,one• will -be seeking the refresh
ing -influence of: a cool and shady _place,
whereunto theyoan retreat from the blazing
sun; so we will give our yeaders a few hints
concerning, the cooling of their,houses. The
first necessity is a thorough. : draft. -.Thin can
always be , obtained by .opening : Om, door
and window in the , basement, the top of ev
ery window above,and'hy tbrowing each door
wide open; bat'aboyi all, be sure thit the
dcoi in, the roof is ofen, and there is plenty
of air room Trorkrit down the stairs, so that
whatever be the direction of the wind, there
will be at least one 'ascending Current of air
in the house. Another' requisite is shade.
Oar conimOn slat shutters answer •well for
the•windows, but the cheapest and most con
venient shelter for the •roof is to cover it
thickly with straw r dried -reeds, or -rushes.
These will resist the influence
. • of the noon
day sun, and keep the garret almost as cool
as the basement. , One of the most simple
methods, and at the same time the•eheapest
means of artificially lowering the -tempera
ture of a room,,is to wet a cloth of any size,
.the: larger the better, and suspend• , it in the
place you,want cooled; let the room be , well
ventilated, and the temperature will sink
from ten to twenty degrees in less than half
an hour.
I
.The above hints will be-useful to many,
and,ag.a , last suggestion we will inform the
reader that, in Summer, ikis
.to keep a
solution of chloride ,pf lime. in. the house;
and occasionally epriOde itin.the more 'fre
quented parts, as , the passage and stairs.—
Scientific American-
The Origin I,nd History *of Pews
The annexed'izitiniati tit history of Pews
was compiled by the editor of the Eclectic
.Museum : •
to Anglo• Saxon and some Northern
ollorelles, of early date, a stone benott was
wudc to project within the wall running
round:the whole interior except the •Eastern
end.: I In,lolo they nre represented as sit
ting on the ground, or standing. About this,
time the people introduced low, rude,three
legged stools• promiscuously over the whole
church. Wooden seats were soon intro
duced after the Norman conquest. : 4,1007
a decree was issued in regard to the wrang
ling for seats, being so Common that none
could call any seat his own, eleePt noble
men and patrons, each entering and holding
the first one he seized. As-we approach the
Reformation, from 1530 to 1540, - seats were
more , appropriate—the entrance being guar
ded:by cross bars sand the ..initials engraved
on them; Immediately after the Reforms-
Cooling- Boom,.
Lion the pew system prevailed; as we learn
from a complaint the poor Commons addres
sed to. Henry. VIII. in 1646, in reference to
a decree that a Bible should be in every
Church, at liberty for all to read because they
'feared it might be taken into the "quire,"
or some "pue." In 1608 galleries were in
troduced. As early as 1611 pews were at
ranged to afford comfort, by being baized or
cushioned ;—while the sides around were so
high as to hide those within—(a device of
the Puritans to avoid being'seen by the of
ficers, who reported those who did not stand
when the name of Jesus was mentioned.)
With the reign of Charles the First the yea
son for heightening the sides disappeared,
and from the civil war they declined gradu
ally to their present height.
A Parent's Loss
If there are sufferings Which however
dreadful in their endurance, are yet suscep
tible Of amelioration, the sorrow which a pa
rent's loss awakens - is not among• the.num
ber other ties may,be replaced, other affec
tions may be restored, but when ,death

ing the most sacred of hor feelings, forbids
a sentiment less _pure, less atioilg; sticeeedink
to. it; .and though this _tearawhieh. sorrow
sheds upon tbe parent's grave, may be dried
by time, the loss 'which bids that tear to flow
can never be replaced by human tenderness
