The Pear Tree.
A STORY FOR TUR LADIES,, ,,
When I was young—was very young,
And rather foolish too,
I used to go with my r.trA,
Out where the orchard grew.
We used to stay there half the day,
That ls, in pleasant weather,
And he and I beneath the trees
',,Would pick the'fruit together.
There was an older, huge pear tree,
That in a corner grew,
And oh ! the pears were soft and sweet,
And very mellow too.
The pears were sweet, and ripe, and red,
And large as pears could be,
And oh! what feastings I have had
Ben'eath that old pear tree.
One'day my father to me said.-- .
(I never shall forget it)
" Now, find the finest peai you can
And in your pocket put it,
And When you get within the house,
And find your sister there,
You claim of her a sister's kiss,
And give her the sweet-pear."
I climb'd the tree, in haste and glee,
TIM russet pride to find,
And many a pear I g,ather'd there,
But thiew them all behind.
The fairest one I meant to have,
If it could there be found,
And so I pin - eked unsatisfied,
And thing all to the ground,
Just then I spied the wish'd for prize,
_That far above me glow,
Says I, " the very pear I want,
My boy I come for you.''
So quickly up the branch I sprang,•
But oh ! I had a fall,
With aching limbs beneath the tree
I lost the pear and all.
My father ran to where I lay,
And sooth'd my aching head ;
And as he bore me home away,
He mildly to me said—
" My son, as through this life-you go,
Don't try to climb too high,
The lofty fruits you'll often find
Are worse than those close by."
So girls take heed and'don't forsake
The humble for-the lofty pear,
Good men are found in lowly walks,
You'll often find the bet are there,
But if' you climb for lofty fruits,
Be'sure you'll have a fall,
And gaining nought but ache and wounds,
You'll lose your MAN and—ALL

History of Agriculture.
4
From all data and historical research, we
find that agriculture was conducted with
success among all the most civilized nations
of the earth, until the reign of the Emperor
•Claudius, when it fell into neglect. After
the reign of Constantine, the northern bar
baric tribes who overran Europe, paid little
attention to the art of culture, working with
slaves, only, a small portion of the soil con
tiguous to and around their habitations ;
having no ambitiorr in this way, and no
settled habits of industry, they were satis
fied to roam over the vast deserts which
their own ravages had made, his evident
that among such a race of people, husband.
ry emild receive but little or no attention.
Although Julius _Cesar has distinctly al
leged that agriculture was introduced into
Briton by some of the Gauls about two
hundred years before the Roman invasion,
, yet the precise time that it began to be prac.
ticed is not known.
Great improvements were made in the
art of culture, however, by the establish
ment of the Romans in that country, and it
sank only with the declension - of the other
arts. Vast inroads were made by the Picts
and Scots when they overran the north of
Britain ; and on the arrival of the Saxons
and the disastrous wars which followed, the.
Britains were actually driven from the fields
which they had cultivated, into barrerk re
gions. But although the Britons had lost,
in a great measure, the science of culture,
they encouraged it by their laws, which
provided for those who should cultivate the
soil.
After the invasion of Britain by the
Angles-Saxons, they seemed to hold in con
tempt agriculture, iind even enacted a law
that it should only be carried on by women
and slaves. These haughty Warriors were
however obliged to pursue the art when the
Britons, whom they had plundered of their
subsistence, were driven from the kingdom.
The historical details of ancient agricul
ture cannot be as interesting as an account
of the variety of climate, soil and produc;
tions of our own country. Nature has pro
vided us with resources of a great agricul
tural nation in our vast tracts of fertile land,
untouched by the hand of man—forests be.
neath whose shades the nations of Europe
might find shelter and even support,—giant
-lakes connecting distant regions as with in
land seas, upon whose broad bosom the
navies of the earth might float. We have
also great navigable rivers of immense
magnitude, running almost the whole length
and breadth of the continent ; railroads and
canals which connect the most remote re
gions of the Mississippi valley with the At--
lantic, and even tlo'w looking to the far off
glittering valleys and mountains of Califor
nia, even to the- busy shores of the great
Pacific, to bring the commerce' and trade
from ancient India to our own seaboard.
These public works, while they furnish
channels or transportation for our agricul
tural products and,manufactures, are like so
many iron chains which bind our loch! i,
Wrests, and make; as it Were, a single neigh
bOrhood of this great republic. We pos
sess water power enough to emplOy all the
machinery that can be manufactured, and
work up all the products that can be fur
nished by the soil ; but more than all, we
possest a free government, which grants to
labor.a sure and liberal reward. All we
want is concentrated intelligence and Vigo;
mos industry.
..Let . me again say to the farmer, stick to
your p lows, reap your own golden harvests,
and you will control commerce, and thereby
advance liberty-and independence througout
the . ' world. • This - _aSsertibii may appear
strange, but it is. the tiller of the soil who is
the benefactor- "mankind, and should
stand higher. in the
munity thaw all- mo
land.

Iniportant Discovery.
Lard rendered Fluid by fulling kith Roain
Professor Olmstead, of New- Haven, has
lately made the important discovery / that
by_adding one pound of powdered rosin to
three pounds of lard, well stirred together,
the mass becomes semi-fluid at 70 deg.
Fahrenheit, and on being melted, which it
does at 90 deg., notwithstanding if melted
alone the rosin requires 300 deg. and the
lard 97 deg. of heat, the compound will re
main transparent and limpid at that tem
perature. As it cools, a pellice begins to
form on the surface at 87 deg ; and at 76
- deg. it remains a dense semi-fluid.
The discovery of the allove named fact
will be of great importance to those who
use lard lamps; as the lard is rendered
more fluid by the rosin, and the pouter of
illumination increased two-fifths ; yet, af
ter two hour's burning, it loses its brillian
cy on account of the wick becoming 'Clog
ged. This will not be an important objec
tion in families, while in point of economy
the gain will be considerable, for lard is
worth three or four times as much as rosin.
To machinists, the discovery is verY im
portant, as it enables theta to make use of
•lard instead of oil, which is not only a* sa
ving in cost, but what is of far more im
portance, the addition of the rosin Com
pletely neutralizes the quality of acidity in
the lard which corrodes metals, partictilar
ly brass and copper,,to such a degree that
it is unfit to apply to anything not in ,con
stant use. Professor Olmstead says, a
thin coating of the compound laid upon,a
grate or sheet iron stove with brush, as
thin as possible, will keep it free from rust
all summer, altho' stored in a damp place.
To soap makers, the discovery is also im
portant. If one pound of- the compound is
added to two pounds of common Winsdor
soap, the- quality is greatly improved, and
the tendency of that soap to grow rancid,
when in use, or keep moist ; ig thus en
tirely prevented. A shaving cream Of an
excellent quality, may be made by taking a
cake of good shaving soap and steaming
it soft in a close cup, and mixing half its
weight of the compound, and working it
well together, adding a little oil of Almnnds,
or any other agreeable flavor_
The same compound applied to boots and
shoes renderg them nearly impervious, to
water,•and if applied to the sole will not soil
the floor. The uppers will be soft and Plia
ble, and not: prevented from receiving a
blacking polish.
For oiling Carriages, the mixture of lard
and rosin will be valuable; and when 'Wan
ted for heavy wheels, a proper consistency
may be given to it by adding wheat flour,
or, if greatly preferred, black lead.
No doubt the'soap pule above described
would be a good lubrication for carriage
wheels. We hope this discovery will in
crease the consumption of lard, and there,
by give an improved market to the farmer,
and thus enable him tO;turn land into lard,
and lard . into light, and in the mean time
enlighten his mind, and improve his cOndi
.
tion.

MIIE subscriber would respectfully inform the farmers and housekeepers of Tioga county, that he
has the exclusive right to sell the above unrivalled and celebrated cook stove in this and the ad.
joining counties of Potter and McKean.
Eight hundred of the above Stoves have been sold during the past year in the counties of Bradford,
Susquehanna and Wyoming, Pa., and All, without exception, have given the very best satisfaction.
The Improved Clinton Air-Tight Stove is heyond a question the most durable and the very best
FARMER'S COOK STOVE in America. It- is constructed without an inside plate, or an inside
damper, and also without afire-backl The Stove warms up quickly with as moderate an amount of
fuel as is desirable; the fire chamber r.s commodious, and has au additional one for fine fuel and chips,
for summer use. The own is very large, and bakes in the greatest perfection ; the working surface
is ample, and it has an excellent broiling hearth without the annoyance of grates. In short, it pos.
sesses in an eminent degree, every necessary convenience, without departing from the simplicity in its
constructionand arrangements, that should be a striking characteristic of a Good CooleStove ; and
which departure from simplicity_ is the almost universal feature of Low Oven Stoves. Persons wishing
to purchase a Good Cook Stove, should by all means examine the Clinton Air-Tight, before purchasing.
The undersigned will furnish the farmers of Tioga county with the above celebrated stoves through,
his pedlars at their doors, or they can_ be had of the following nrmed gentlemen, who are 'My Lembo.
