HISTORY OF THE COLONY AND- ANCIENT
. DbMINION OF VIRGINIA; Pp. • 766. By
'Charles Campbell. Philadelphia; J. B. Lip
: pincote. Pittsburgh: John S. Davison. 1860.
.This is a volume that will be early soqght and
carefully read, by all who delight in becoming
acquainted with the early, annals of our country.
Virginia had the first.permanent settlement that
was effected by the English in that part of North
America now'. known as the United States ; and
she occupies a proud place in the history of our
countrir'owing to her generous haspitality, and
the famei other military chieftains, her states
men, 101 her preachers. Within her limits,
many -tragic scenes were enacted in the contests
with the aborigines; and her. sons performed
many deeds of daring valor.
The' history, before us gives evidence ,of having
been prepared with great industry, good judg
ment, and much honesty , of purpose. The hard
ships endured by the early settlers are carefully
told. We see the gay cavalier and the stately
matron of the. olden time. Their domestic life,
their amusements, their prodigal habits, and their
ambitions,. all pass before us. Here -we see the
lordly L'olonial Governor ; the. outbrcakings of
opposition against the tyranny of the old world;
the noble line `of statesmen and patriots such as
Patriek Henry, Jefferson, liladiion, Lee, and
Washington. And here, too, are embalmed
pleasing memories of . such preachers as Samuel
Davies and James Waddell. Altogether, the book
is a note-worthy. one, that deserves a place in the
library of.every one that loves to dwell upon the
pasthistory - of our .country.

.
The birth of the Saviour of the world is
linked with the most popular portion of Roman
history. Thai was"the Augustian age, the age
of Teretuie, of Cicero, of Virgil and Horace, of
Ballast and Livy. To concentrate the illustrious
porooogep of the time, the current events, the
literature, and, to show the preparation of the
witnesses to the birth
.of Christ, that they might
be fitted to testify to it., is the , object of this
work.
The history. of Herod. is the thread on which
the other facts are made to hang. The author
sets forth what immediately preceded the com
ing of the Saviour, the .•passing events of that
period, and: the. wondrous adaptation of the wit
nesaes to his advent for the important testimony
they were to give to all succeeding generations.
The design of the author has heed well accom
plished,.and the book is one of no common in
terest. The reader will be loth to lay it aside
uhtilthe last page bus been reached.

4 i Suffer Little Children and Forbid them Not."
There was a little .cherub-faced boy, of
foui.yeara old, who attended a Sabbath
School, . and: was taught a text of Scripture
—that was the method used with those
little ones at that time.
.
mother' was a widow ; and, as she
sit with• her children at table one day, this
little fellow said—" Ma, ma, why don't you
Pray ?"
His .mother tried to turn him off, and
bglim eat his dinner. Again he asked,
" Ma, ma, why don't you pray ?" At
length, slip, replied, " I can't."." Well, I
can," said. His mother answered,,
" Then-Pray." The dear little one put to
gether his. hands, shut his eyes, and said—
"l than thee, 0 Father, Lord of heaven
and earth, that thou hest hid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hest re
vealed' them unto babes ; even so Father,
for so it seeemed good in thy sight."
The mother's. heart was touched-•by the
Holy. Spirit, through the utterance of her
child, while 'his little all he presented to
hisleavenly Father.. She was soon after
converted, and led her child in prayer and
pleafatit religious .duties.—Episcopal Ree
Good for. Nothing.
!kgentleman, while addressing some chil
dren, took out his watch, and asked what it
wAtS9T
t''T'4N keep time," the children. answered.
" Well; suppose it won't keep tinie;.and
can't be .made:te,keep time, what is' it good
for ?"
"It . is good for nothing," they replied.
He then took out a lead pencil, and
asked, what, it was for.
"It is to mark with," was the.answer.
".But supposing the lead is out, and it
iikiiiit`mitrk; - what is it , good for?"
"It's good for.nothing." .
Iroliterrtook qit, his,,pockiit T knife, and
asked what wlia,itspsp.

.
out," said:others: • - ,
"Suppose it had no blade, then, what is
it goo# for;?"
"Doo'd for nothing!' '
d - 00* 01
"Then a watch, or. pencil, or knife is
good for nothing, unless it can do the thing
for which it was made
" No sir," the children all answered.
" Well, ehildren,=whit is a boy :or girl
made for ?"
The children hesifited.
" What is the answer to the first ques
tion of the Catechism- 7 C What th,o
chief end of ,Inan ?'" asked : - the: gentle
nn.
, 4 To glorify God and enjoy him for
ever."
"Now, then; if boy or "girl doeS Mit'do
what she or he is 'made for, :and glorify
God, what is he•or she.good ,for ?"
And the 'children! alt linswered—with
oitt.seeming to think how it would:sound.
`!. Good for nothing." ‘,.
Well, if children are made. to glorify
God. and they. do n't do. it, arc they good
for anything That is, it is so much more
important that they glorify God, and be
come prepared to enjoy: him forever ' than
anything else, that if they fail: to do this
ft is as though they failed in everything.
Without love to God, all other things are
as nothing: •
Dear boy, or girl, are you answering the
end for which you were made ? If not,
what are you good for? Think of the
children's answer:
" Good fQr nothing,"—Weit Spring

"Happy day, happy day, when. Jeans
washed my sins away," sang'Kittle,
again and again, down in the -Summer
house;-. and-the silvery notes. came through
the open window into, papa's study; and
papa laid down his book to listen.
Soon, the voice ceased, and little patter-,
ing feet were heard on the stairway,, and
then a gentle knock.
" Come in, Kittle."
gi Papa, is n't this a nicee-hymn ? Pleatei
may I sing,it:to you?"' .
And so papa listened again to that soft
voice, singing the same sweet hymn.
" I like happy day' part the best,
papa."
" The chorus, you mean,' do n't you,
Kittie ?—the lines repeated in every verse.
But why ?"
• " Because, papa, I can't quite understand
the.rest, but 1 knoW that if Jesus hadn't
washed my sins , away, I could never go to
heaven to live , with him."
" Why not, Kittie ?"
Kittie repeated slowly the verse she had
learned that, morning. " Theie shall in
no wise enter into it anything that defileth,
neither ;whatsoever , worketh abomination in
maketh a lie.' ..And, papa, I used to make
ME
" And do you , think Jesus .has washed
that sin away, Kittie ?"
" Yes, papa; I asked. him. to. And if
we ask, we shall receive, you know. Don't
you like these lines, too, papa P'
" Yes,'Kittle ; very much."
"Please sing it with me once."
.And so papa and- his little Kittie .sang
together of that " happy day, when Jana
washed their sins away.' —Reaper.
• Our Foremothers.
Some-good-natured wag, zealous for the
honor of wornanhood, has given utterance
to the following tribute to hi& ancestors on:
the female side. is'well done, and
.well
worth the reading.:
We hear enough abOut our forefathers.
They Were very nice old fellows, no doubt.
Good to work, eat, or fight. •Very welt
But where are their companions, their
" chums," who, as their help-mates, urged
them along? •Who worked and "delve.d for
our forefathers,brushed up their old
clothes, and patched their breeches ? Who
almost involved themselves for the cause
of liberty ? Who nursed our forefathers
when sick, sang Yankee Doodle to their
babies, and trained up their boys ? Our
foremothers.
Who landed - at James River, and earn - e -
over in the lloyflower, and . established. the
other early settlements ? Were there any
women among them? One would think
net. Our Yankee neighbors especially,
make a wonderful talk about the pilgrini
fathers who - squatted on Plymenth Rock,
and there is a great tide. made ever it
every time they wish to get up a little
enthusiasm . on liberty, and refresh them
selves by crowing over freedom; and the'
chivalry of Virginia are not a whit behind,
them when they take a notion to vaunt them
selves upon the glory and greatness of the
Old Dominion; and our staid Pennsyl.=
vania Quakers, too, like to plume them
selves slyly upon the merits and doings of
William Penn and his associates; but with
all the " blarney" so plentifully distributed
on all sides, what do we hear or gather
about our foremothers ?- Did n't they land
on a rock too ? Did n't they encounter
perils' . and - hardships? And, after
,all,
did nit they, with their kind hearts; sus
tain the flagging• spirits of the male. coni
panions?
Who , ushered`-us into- this world—our
forefathers? Bahl No indeed,. ,it,.,was
our foremotherS. Who , nursed George
Washington, Anthony Wayne, Benjamin.,
Putnani,. - anka Veit. of
other worthies, whose names will live
forever, and taught them to be men and
patriots ?, 'Dl4our foreinetliers ? And
who gives them the credit they deserve ?
Nobody. ,
We have our monuments commethora
ting, and our speeches, our songs, : our
toasts, and our public dinners, celebrating
the wonderful deeds of our forefathers but
where are thosein honor of our foremoth
ers ? We, had better. - be getting them
ready. We talk , ourselves" hearse; 'and
write. -ourselves reuted-shetil,dered,...while.,
boiling over with - entlinsieein lib Out-• - the
nice - things 'our forefathers did, and yet
nothing is said about our foreinethers, to
whom many a virtuous act .and brave deed
' may be ascribed, such as any herowould be
proud to own.
We wish not to detract. All hail tothe
noble. old men, out forefathers, say we: May.
the glory of their deeds never be less; but
the good •Book tells us to " render ~unto
Caesar," etc., and we wish to speak a word'
in season for women generally, and-especial
ly for our noble and self-sa:erifleing" fore
mothers, lest time, and the one-sided page
of history, shall blot them forevert from

Preparing Laud for Trees.
A correspondent in the . Country Gentle
man, makes several inquiries as to the
proper method of preparing the soil for a
young apple orchard. In .reply,
,the edi
tors say : "'The soil-should be deep,% rich,
and at all times mellow. • If it is already
quite rich, no manure need: be applied. if
not, it, will be.a great advantage. Our cor
respondent will have to decide this ClUCS
tion. If already rich enough, strips of
land six feet wide may be plowed where
each row is to stand, and so as to drain in
the dead furrow,, running as deeply as
practicable, and assisting the operatiOn:
with
,g
a.,-lubsoil, plow : , if practicable. -Mar
rowin and reploWing will inake It very
mellow, and ready to. set the trees at once.
In a. year or two, the :intervening strips.
may beplowed and cultivated, as.the roots
extend, which they will do in:a feW years
to cover the whole field. If,' however, the
soil- ifr , not sufficiently fertile, the same
!strips, ;with geod . Manuring; marbe,:elll6,-.
sated with, corn and potatoes one season,,
and the trees then put dut. In the mean
time they may • be 'set in thd best manner in
nursery rows for one year, and when taken
up, dig wide so as•to get all the roots. In
this way scarcely no time will, be lest, anal
the trees, if kept well and constantly cul
tivated, will outstrip all other trees more
carelessly and superficially planted, and
i
neglected in culture, or set• n sod, which
is but little better ,than throwing them
away.".
Potatoes.
With respect to the cultivation of the.
potato, the first important item is the
selection of a suitable, soil; this should be,
a rich loam, an old rich pasture, or award
of any kind, provided it be sufficiently
rich, as the potato, crop (if it ,be a, good'
one) takes too much from the soil to ex
pectea poor one to .accomplish the desired.
object ; hence, if it is not naturally rich,
it should be made so by manuring. Any'
of the common kind will answer, but a
liberal addition of potash in any of its .
forms, would be valuable, ,and will am
ply pay fbr the,' outlaY the increase of
the crop. Gyp Sum, or Plaster, is also a
valuable appendage, used at .the , rate of
about'half a handful for each hill.. I have,
increased my crop of potatoes more than
sixty bushels pell acre,,by theuse of plaster
'as above stated, , at a cost of :less than two
dollars per acre. The' selection of seed, in
the choice of the different varieties, de
pends of course upon the taste; or interest
of the parties concerned. Our best vane,:.
ties for the table _are:generally, less produc
tive than those of ,a coarser grain and
poorer quality. An additional dritibeek
too on the best Varieties is, that they , are
most subject' to , the rot. Nevertheless,,
whatever may be the 'coat, we want a goOd
article for the table; for feeding- stocky a
coarser variety less subject to, rot and. more
productive would be preferable.
Plaster of Paris, Coal . Soot, and Coal Ashes,
as`Manures.
Now is,the •season for, the application of
".top dre.ssitigs' for:pasture, nieadew, and
other lands. The best. substances.fOr this
purpose afford matter worthy of attention, i
and yet it is difficult to give any but• gen-1
eral advice; as the nature .of the soil must I
always be taken into consideration' in pro
iding suitable fertilizers. Gypsum (corn-
Mon plaster,) is very extensively employed
for top dressings ; but many farmers ques
tion • its advantages except for clover.- Gyp-
Sum is composed of about equal parts of
lime, water, and sulphuric acid. , It is a
*nerd which is found in, the tertiaryfor
million above the chalk and it is also an-1
accompanying bed of the new red sand:;,
stone which covers the coal measures. On
pisture laud it produces good effects when
applied on the clover :as it is springing up
early spring. Air-slacked lime has been
of considerable benefit in some'particular
.situations; when thinly sowed upon pasture
lands. It has
,produced good effects on
grass where there has been considerable
sorrel and moss, by makingfine grass spring
lip in the 'place of these. It is very good
for coarse, thin, pastures situated .on high
grounds, but it is . best Co apply it' Mixed
with half its weight of clay,;Western
IPennsylvania, Ohio, and all Places' 4here
bituminous coal is employed for fuel, its
soot is excellent for a top dressing for gar-,
dens and all lands. It contains some traces
of potash al:maniacal salts, and pungent
coal oil. It is an expellent manure, and
imparts a most healthy color to young
plants, such as onions, and all kinds of
°Tains and grasses. It never fails to invig
orate young grain when applied in the
Spring. It is, perhaps, the quickest and
Most powerful top dressing than can be
used. About- forty bushels sown .upon
acre of clover will about double the crop.
The white fine ashes of coal contain consid
erable stimulants for • grass as: a top dres-

Applied to old pasture lands as a top Axes
sing, at the rate of about sixty bushels to
the acre, in April, it is very beneficial. It
tends to destroy sorrel, rushes, and mosses.
As a compost of clay and lime is accessible,
to almost every farmer, its application is
greatly to be recommended. It is a very
durable top dressing for grasslands, and it
also benefits almost any soil to which it may
be •applied. About fifteen bushels of dime
is a very good quantity to the acre, but
twenty bushels may be safely used.—Scien.

The Great Napoleon's: -Opinion of Popery.
At Breda„ it is said, a conspiracy against
Bonaparte . was discovered. It seems to
have been fon - tented by Roman 'Catholic:
priests, for Bonaparte showed himself ill
affected toward Roman Catholieismin gen
eral, and - to the priests of. Brabant in par
ticular. When the Roman , Catholic clergy:
in Breda were admitted to an audience with
Napoleon, during his tour, they were not in
canonicals like' the. Proteitant clergy. Bo
naparte turned to them angrily, "You say.
you are priests," he exclaimed; "why have
you not Your cassocks on ?" "On...the oth-,
er hand, he exclaimed, "the first word I
hear from a priest of`the Reformed Church
is, that it is doctrine to render unto Caesar
the things which are Cmsar's. This is the
doctrine, you ought to preach, and fromthat.

spokesman of the Reformed deputation,.
"you ought to learn it." "You limit ca.-

Jonas Whitoomb's new.edy,
Prepared from a German„recipe obtained by the pate Jonas
'Whitcomb, in Europe. It is well known to have alleviated
this disorder in his case; when all other appliances of medical
skill had been abandoned• by him in despair. In no ease of
purely asthmatic character has itfailed to give immediate re
lief, and it has elected many permanent cures. Within the
past two years this remedy 'has' been Usediln thousands of
cases with astonishing and unicorn' snevolgs- ..lt contains nu
poisonous or injurious properties whatever; an infant may
take it with perfect safety.
The following certificates furnishConchaaye evidence of
the power of this remedy : .• -
Wcznsacrao', ire.. May 12, 1557.
Ihnticarr :—I take pleasure instating, the wonderful
effects of "'Whitcomb's %Remedy for - the -Astiuna," on lily
„wife. She had suffered for years more than my pen can
describe, with the spo.ssmxlic form of that 'terrible disease.
As often as ten or twelve times in a year she was brought to
the very gaits 'Of death, reipiiring tub' tit- three watchers
sometimes, for several days and nights in succession. At
times, for hours ; it would seem as if every breath Waist be the
last.• Wo were obliged to open doors andmindoss in mid-
Winter, and to resort to every expedient that affection could
devise, to keep her alive. At one time elle was so far gone
that her physician could not count her Pulse.* At length I
heard of "Whitcomb's Remedy." It acted like a charm. It
enabled her to sleep quietly in a few minutes. • * • *
I am a Methodist clergyman, stationed here. I shall be
happy to answer any inquiries reverting her ease, and you
era at liberty to make any use of the foregoing facts thatwill
benefit the afflicted. Tours, truly, •
KIMBALL HADLEY.
• NEWBURTPORT, Feb. ZS, 1856.
GENTLEMEN :—lt is now nearly twelve months since I re
ceived.the first bottle of your valuable medicine for the cure
of the Asthma. I Ness determined to give it &thorough trial,
rind to convince myself that it was tbrotigir its effect• that I
seas being so much benefited, beforel wrote you. I am now
satisfied that toy relief front one of the most tiggravatlng,
most distressing, and moat tinrelentitm disorders that ever
afflicted a human being, is to be attributed wholly 'to this
remedy. For thirteen years I suffered with the Asthma. and
during thattime there were but l.w months in which I did
not suffer with a peros7sni that entirely prostrated nic for
two or three days, and sometimes longer. It grew upon me
in severity, until, in 1335.3 ancll&s4, I was obliged fur months
together, to sleep in my chair • and the least . active exercise
would bring on a pairoxyent oftentimes so severe that I could
not move en inch for hours. But it is nielens for me to
describe the tortures of the spasmodic airthme.. Throw for
whom this is intended know full well what it la, and I will
merely say, that from the time I teak the first dose Of your
"Remedy" to the present hour. I have not bad a bad attack,
.and now my system Is so free from it that the.most active
'exercise and exposure seldom has any other effect. than to
, slightly restrict the lungs. Your medicine soon dispels that
.sensation, and I'can safely claim a general release from the
' tormentor.
, Extract of a Letter written by 41. disHagnielied Lawyer in
Maine.
• Gmcnmatan—l hays_ purposely delayed, writing to yen
until I had thorouedy tested the medicine, '(Whitcomb's
Remedy for the Asthma.) at different seasons of the •year. for
I had often obtained relief, for a short time..fn*n various
kinds of m e dicines, leaving no permanent good ifteeta. •Thus
have I tried more than thirty different 'opetifice 'for' the
Asthma, until Z had become -worn down by disease, and
almost discouraged. When I'commeneed taking-your medi
cine, I had been afflicted with the disease abo'ut twenty years.
It is of the spasmodic kind; - Mid in a bad attack I have fre
quently at up sixteen nights in succession. Soon after
taking your medicine, I found - an nu - accustomed relief. My
health and:arm:Oh began to improve . I have: pined about
twenty pOunds in weight, and hive, cemparatnwly, no
asthma. When I feel the symptoms . returning, a-few. tea
spoonfolli of the medicine is aufflcient to remove it.
It seems to me that the very foundation of my disease ha.
qoen broken up, and that it will soon entirely leave me. At
any rate no one 'that has suffered what -have, 'heretofore,
and enjoyed the health
,that have, enjoyed, since last . -Fall,
can hesitate to believe that there is a wonderful - poWer in
Jonas Whitcomb's ..Remedy for the Azthras.- Respeetfully,
yours, . H. R. TOSE.
