Clark, Esq., .It the Ctlebr alien cf the Anniversary of American Iiuhpcridence, at Peru, Y:aaha count if, .V. T., on the fifth of July, A. I). 1S-5S; and the Si'd year of American Independence. GtmmrK 5B Ladies:- HirliLV-two vears have elaDsed since ihQ gork'o-i)ccVMi-Ml dence, tsijrr-'.'d by thr leaders ot ihe Key oiuti:n, and theerfully endorsf d by the American people, was promulgated to the world. All that can ho said in favor of the step then taken 1 y our forefathers has been said long- ajo. It is doubtful whether a new idea cr a new word can be added to the pan ygrrics made by thousands of orators who i.ave thrown, with hands full, flowers cf eloquence on the document. Why ii it, then, that every year, on the broad surface of the United States, from the shores of the Atlantic to those of the Pacific, and from the borders of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, and,, in fact, all over the world, Americans meet to cele brated the anniversary of that Declara tion. Is it not because that immortal date he Fonrihif Julv fills all Amprimii hearu .Y.ilhtfeulitiss. of . irratitude aad 'h-inkfuiiness with feelings t;imilar,to those v. hich r;;al:e us hail with joy every day the, return of the sun? Is it not because the American people are every year more convinced of the wisdom that prompted the signers cf the Declaration of Independence? Because ii is the life and soul of our institutitns the pride of our Republic the very ess' nee of our Governaicnt? Is it not because to the Declaration of Inde pendence we ctYC the free exercise of our liberties, the enjoyment of life, the prosperiiy t.f the naticn, and the bright prOPPCCt cf our future ? L"i.k into the history of nation?, and you wiil rot find a ncre glorious date than our Fourth of Julv, or more rreat ju incij lcs than those set forth in the Dec laration of Independence. Whati.-vcr may be tin ir political opin ion?, no Ami-rican will deny them. What ever n.ny be the political troubles agi tating r.s howe-or selfish and sectional, feelings fostorrd by ambitious politicians seem to be, prcvailug over the diilerent portions of the country, we all assemble together on the Fourth of July, for it is refreshing to look"! ack npon our history lo the time of the Revolu.ion. .- , ! There we see in living characters the brightness cf that united . feeling which should be our constant aire 10 chepisJh "tVc do not allow many causes to come between tis ana our nffect!on;5 for tLe descendents of such patriot as, Washing ton and Fatrick Hairy. ' We speak with equal pride of the gal lantry of Northern and Southern soldiers who composed the freezing and bleeding armv of the Delaware, or the fortitude of Marion find his men in the gloomy swamps of the South. It was one united throb of the great spirit of the nation that declared it free and independent, and every Fourth of July, a unite! feeling bless it in this, its hour of prosperity. Dotted over the broad surface of the land, extending along the sea coast from the forests of Main to those of Georgia, are spots which mark the battle grounds of the War of Independence when nor thern and southern I rothcrs fell side Ly side, and on the Fourth of July, all sec tions of the country proclaim to the world that whatever may be their divisions -.hould that Independence be in danger, they would know no North no South, no East no West, but stand united as ona man to prevent it fight for the Union, the whole Union, and if necessary, (nil as in olden times, like brothers side by side. If anv doubt could lehad that such j wotdd be the result the recent proceed ings of British Cruisers upon our coast in arresting and examining vessels carrying the American flag, news of which has aroused "he national temper almost to the war-point the firm stand taken by the Adminis'ration and both Houses of Congress, ardthe public indignation that those outrages have aroused, not only on the sca-coast, 1 ut everywhere throughout vaa Union would suffice to dispel cu them. Ladies ar d Gentlemen : Wc all love the Fourth of Jul-. We love it because it is a nationil day. On that day we love to recapitulate the progress we have made we as a nation our progress Ja extent 01 territory, in glory, in wealth and in pow er. We like to count the years cf our existence. We like to look at the past, to refiect on the present, and to think of the future. We like to look back eighty two years ago. when the thirteen small colonies, thir.ly settled had the bravery to proclaim and fight for their Indepen dence, fully awr. re that they had to con quer or die. They did conquer and tlie reward was :qual to their resolution. We like to glanc? at the present and compare with the position we had m G. Then a union of thirteen States was formed ; to-day the United States coin rose thirty-two members. In a few years when the Territories now existing will I e added to the Union, the number will swell up to f :rty States three times the original anic tint. Our population is now ten times ns large as it was in 1776; and "that large then unknown region west of the Alle gheny's, is no more a desert, but ihe gar. den of the Union. The flag of our countrythen consider ed an emblem of rebellion is row hon ored, respected everywhere, and for the oppressed people of all regions, is a sym bol of independence and liberty. We like to think of4 the future; and who can foretell the destiny of this na tion? Who can find limit? to our pro gress nen will we stop ,, rc.nerr net stop? .1 , . -r-1 no can say wnere me Dounas or mis country will be fifty years from now what part of the American Continent will be inaccessible to our Republican insti tutions, and where on its surface will not our beloved flag float? All questions that time alone can answer. But from the past and the present we may judge the future. Since the Declaration of Inde pendence our past has been glorious, our present is glorious, and our future will be the same. No Use for Trousers- On the morning of the meteoric show ers in 1S33, old Peyton Roberts, who in tended making an early start to his work got up in the midst of the display. On going to his door, he saw with amaze ment, the sky lighted up with the falling meteors, and he concluded at once that the world was on Lrer and that the day cf judgment had come, t lie stood for a moment gazing in ter rcr at the scene, aud then with a yell of horror sprang out of the door into the yard, right into the midst of the falling stars, and here, in his efTorts to dodge them, he commenced a series of ground and lofty tumbling, that would have done honor to a rope-dancer. His wife being awakened in the meantime, and seeing old Peyton jumping and skipping about the yard, called out to him to know what in the name '0 sense he was doin' out thar" uanciir round without his clothes. But Peyton heard not ; the judgement, and long back account he would have to settle, made him heedless of all terres trial things, and his wife, by this time becoming alarmed at his behavior, sprang out of bed, and running to the door, she shrieked out at the top of her lungs 'Peyton, I say Peyton, what do you mean, jumpin' out thar? Come in and put on your trousers."' Old Peyton, whose fears had near over powered him, faintly answered, as he fell sprawling to the earth ''Trousers, Peggy, what's the use 'o trousers when the world's afire !"

Williams a gallant officer of New Orleans, tells the following capital story of himself: The Colonel was on a visit to the north, and at a large dinner party at Lancastsr, Pennsylvania. He was almost a strang er to the party, both ladies and gentle men, but his agreeable manners secured him a home reception, and he was quite at case among his new acquaintance. "At dinner," says the Colonel, "I was seated opposite a young and very accom plished lady, who remarked, in the con v rsation, "Surelv, sir, you cannot have resided long at the South, your complex ion is so very fair ?" "Yes," I replied, "I am a Creole of Louisiana. Instant ly every cne around me was startled, the conversation Lagged, and all eyes were turned upon poor me, utterly unconscious of having said or done anything to at tract so much attention. 1 knew not what to make of it, till the lady remark ed again, with a long breath, "Well, I decl-.re I beg your pardon, sir, but I would certainly have tnkci you for a white man!" My face burned like fire, and for a moment I was silent in my con fusion ; but, recovering myself, I asked the young lady what she supposed that the word "Creole mcantf "Why it I means black or yellow, sir, I don't know which, and it don't make much differ ence." I then explained to her and the company, greatly to their relief, that creole means native, and has no reference to color or race ; that creole horses and creele cows are as commonly spoken of as creole men, and that I was quite to "to the manor born." Tlie London Times. Mr. John Walter, M. P. for the bor ough of Nottingham, is principal proprie tor of the Times newspaper, holding 10 shares out of the twenty-four into which that publication is divided. The publish er who is responsible for all libels, &c, has one share; Mr. John De-lane, the editor, has one share, and Mrs. Carden, mother of Sir Robert Carden, the pres ent Lord Mayor of London, has three shares. It is estimated that each propri etary share is worth over 810,000 per annum, making the agreeable sum of S240.000 to S2GO,000 per annnmoutof the shares. Mr. Waltar's individual re ceipts from this source may be averaged at some $200,000 a year. Cost of a Modern Bell. A matter of fact London Cockney , who attended a ball, thus describes the belle of the. evening. What a clerk for the committee of "Ways and Means" he would make : "I saw her dancing in the hall. Around her snowy brow were set 824,440 ; such would have been the answer of any jew eler to the question, "What are those di monds?" With the gentle undulation of her bosom rose and fellexactly SI, 164 and eighteen cents. The sum bore the guise of broach, of gold and pnarQfl.-- Her fairy form was invested in fifty dollars represented by a slip of black satin and this was overlaid by one hundred and fif ty dollars more, in two skirts of white lace tastefully down each side of the lat ter were six half crowns, which so many bows ot purple ribbon had come to the lower margin of the one hundred and fifty skirts were edged with eleven ad ditional guineas, the value of some eight yards of silver fringe a quarter of a yard in depth. Her taper waist, taking zone and clasp together, I calculated to be con fined by 150 dollars. Her delicately rounded arms, the glove of spotless kid being added to the gold bracelet which encircled the little wrist, may be said to have been adorned with one hundred dol lars; and putting the silk and satin at the lowest figure, I should say the wore SG6 and 56 cents on her feet. Thus, alto gether, was this thing of light, this crea ture of loveliness, arrayed from top to toe, exclusive of little sundries, in about $3,250. The Love Wreath. I've twined tbre. Love, a fiowery wreath To bind up-in thy brow, And with kind words on every loaf, 1 bid it seek thee now. I've searched the gardens through and throu;'a, The creen house and tbe dell. And titled them of half their sweets For her I loved so well. I thought at least my pit t would bo A messenger of love to tl.ee. Tirst from the pardeti's wreath, I stole, Sweet (1) ro-e buds, fresh and fair, And (2) myrtle spritrs, because the friend 1 cherished, was not there. And with the blue (3) forset-mc-not, I twined a () bay leaf green. While (5) crocus flowers and (ii) violets Came peepins up between ; And (7) pinks and (S) pansies blended there With (it) amaranths more rich and rare. The (10) star of rieloleliem r.ext I twined Aiicni; the blo-miiiij; thronp, Calm thoughts of him of whom they breathed, Stealmp my heart abii'4 And the sweet (11) pos(-sion flower was tberc, And leanini; on its cheek Lay tbe i ile (Ii) sii"w-ball like a child, All trustingly and meek . And from each white andsrnceful cup, Jtethougbt pure prayer seemed gushing up. And (13) orance flow'rs all while and fair, And (11) lilies as pure as they. I've sought with studied crai e and skill. Within ihe wreath to 'ay. And young (16) mom rose buds drooped their Leala So gracefully besido. . And blushing io gweetly, that I kissed - The darlings In tnv pride t npinir my friend would like these best. And priza them morn tbau all tbe rest. And (tC) honeysuckles twined their slight Aud graceful fingers r.'und. And rosy (17) laurels lovingly With (IN) jasamines interwound, Toung (19) daisies own'd the long tringed lash Of their sweet, starry eyes. Gazing on all the beauty thcro As if in glad surpri- c; I thought how very like thine own, With love and happiness they shone. Then take the wreath and bind it love, Upon thy shining hair. Among those rich dark curls of thine That veil thy forehead lair, And gaze U'oti thy mirrored ace. And own bow lovelier yet My gift bath made tl.ee , as it smiles Among thy curis of jot. And if the while thy heart run o'er With love for me, l'.l ask no more. 1 tt sc bud C, nfe-'.oti r.f Love. 2 .Myrtle Love in Absence. 3 Kerget-inc-not True Love. 4 H..y Le i' l change but in dying. 6 Crocus smiion. 6 Violet Faithful. 7 Pink Lofty and pure afTrctinns. 8 Pansy Tender pleasant thoughts. 9 Glubc Amaranth I'liihanced. lOS'arof UJthlehem Lotus follow Jesus 11 Passion 'lower Religious Fervur. 12 Snow-ball Thoughts i f Heaven. 13 Orange Flower worn m's woith. 14 Lily Purity and Swee'ness. 15 Moss Rose Supeiior Merit. 16 Honeysuckle Fidelity. 17 Laurel Virtue is true Reality.

Nature is a pattern maid-of-all-work?, and docs best when least meddled with, Jokes are the luxury of beggars; men of substance can't afford 'em. Commentators Worthy folks, who too often write on books, as men with dia - monds write on glass obscuring light with scratches. There are good dull folks who'd doubt of lasting love in paradise seeing that 1 the first wedding wanted the consent of aunts and grand-fathers. Evcry man talks of his neighbor's heart as though it was his own watch a.i thing to he seen in ail us works, ana aous ed for its irregular going. Readers are of two sorts one, who carefully go through a book, and one who as carefully lets the book go through him. City of Canton. Pponlp who bnvf vipver seen nn una dulturated Eastern City are apt to enter- mJn vrrv rrrnnrnns ideas unon the sub- very erroneous ideas upon ject, when we talk of a great city of a million inhabitants. Ine whole circuit of the walled city is only six miles. The mass of the inhabitations are about fif teen feet high, and contain three rooms; they have one entrance, closed by a bam boo screen. Some of the shops have a low, upper story, and the house, roof and entrance may rise 25 feet from the street, Better houses there are, but not more iof ty.

The management of plants in rooms is extremely difficult. This is perhaps the greatest reason why there are so few cultivated. Now what is the reason they cannot be grown ? Why, simply because those who love flowers, and can afford to get only as many as will fill a couple of windows, are ignorant of their cultiva tion, and also because horticultural writ ers doi:ot think such a subject w ort tingvpon.1 W will now say a few words ! on the subject. First, it should be borne in mind that moist air as almost is essen tial to plants as water, and that they arc seriously injured by being forced to in hale air that is in too dry a state for them. Plants to be healthy should be frequently syringed in order to cleanse the leaves from dust and also to open the stomaia or breathing pores; when syringing can not be resorted to, setting them out in the rain will do, only taking care that it is not so heavy as to break them ; but by all means let them have plenty of fresh air wnen it is prjcticaLIe. Nimout a sui; ciency of air, plants soon become weak (flruc- or 'en measure) as 1,255 bush and sickly; their lecves will soon turn ca5- "cilact one-fifth, which w yellow. 'But, if a little fresh air is giv- f'J -hore, for ai.owance for rounding en them every day when the temperature is not too cold, they will grow nearly as well in a room as in a greenhouse. An other reason why plants in roonn nrc un healthy is, that they are watered in a very irregular manner; sometimes they are allowed to be so long without water, that the mould is so dry that it will crum ble under tne pressure of the fingers, and the spongiolesof the root are quite with ered. This is perhaps noticed by some one, and it is then thought that the plants need water; a quantity is then given! them, cold lrom the pump, though they have probably been standing in a tem perature of from sixty to seventy degrees; such a process is very hurtful to plants of even the most hardy r.ature, and if delicate, they are not infrequently killed outright ; the reverse of this should be the case. The plants should never become so dry as to have the mould in a crum bling state; if such a circumstance should occur, they ought to be well watered with water of the tame temperature of the room. If the pots should stand in sau cers it would be well to fill the saucers with water, in crdr that evrrr mrt of the roots mav imbibe some bent-fit from ! ' a. 1 I the moisture. When this has stood about : half an hour, the not should be lifted out : and the water thrown away, as nothing i injures ihe plants so much as stagnant water being left around them. Another fault is, to put the plants in toolarcre pots which always has a bad effect. If the soil is good and not over watered, the plants will indeed grow rapidly, but will produce leaves and branches instead of dowers, i The soil should always be in such a state j as to admit air to the roots; at the same j time, frequently re-potting is often neces sary to keep the plants in a compact hab it of growth, and also to prevent them from being drawn up. The way to as certain this is, by turning the plants out of the pot with the ball attached, and if you find the roots on the outside of the ball, transfer it to a larger pot, but only one size larger than the former. Ily per severing in this method of treatment, a plant may be grown to a large size and made to produce flowers in great abun- dance. The best soil for plants in pots is a mix ture of hog earth and vegetable manure, finely pulverized. Cover the bottom of the pot with small pieces of broken pots in order to insure perfect drainage. The roots should then be examined, and if any parts of them are found to be diseased they should be cut oil ; be sure and al ways use a sharp knife, as a dull one man gles or bruises them ; put a little e arth in the bottom over the posthords place the plant in the center, so that the collars of : the plant are near the rim of the pot; the new earth is Uien put m and tne pot slight ly shaken to settle the earth about the roots, ami then slightly watered and set aside in the shade lor tne rest of the day. 1 Ianls should never oe re-potted wnne in flower. The best time is, when they are growing, before the flower buds begin to swell. They should be allowed to re - main until the llowcrinrr season is com- 1 pletely over Sometimes the soil in the pot looks black and covered with moss, owing to an excess cf moisture or insuf- ficient drainage. When this is the case, the plants should be turned out of the pot and the black and sodden earth shaken from the roots, which should be cut and all decayed parts removed ; it should then be re-potted in another pot of the same or nearly the same size. Thus treated, and moderately but regularly watered, the plant will soon recover, and if judici ously pruned, if it has become elongated or drawn up, it will become handsome j and well grown. Turn the plants to ti the "gilt occasionally, as Uieyare apt to grow somewhat crooked. F. CiLVtriT.

Trcm the Country Gentleman. - Measuring Cera in a Crib. Mrssns EriTons: In the Cultivator for January, p 13, I find an article from "W. H. C," on meas uring com in the crib. Said article was written to show that a rule which tho writer had seen in the Saturday Even ing Po;t wis r.ct correct. The rule was to multiply the cubic feet contents of the crib by four and a half, cr.d cut off the right hand figure, which would give" tho bushels of shelled corn. As I have seen tlie above r-ua credited t0,th; rr?irie Farmer, I conclude it is calculated more particularly for the west, where they reckon two lush-: Is cf shelled com for every three cf car?. The rule is certainly not correct when it requires 2 budiels cf ears for 1 of shelled corn. Nor is the rule given by your correspondent correct, by a long way, as 1 think I shall show. He gives tho true number of bushels a crib would contain, of struck measure ; but he seems to have lost sight of the fact that in the State of New York, and further east, wa have to givo rounding mcasur3. He rvivts the true amoi;rr in tT-r rr',U tv , -------- av a u the iiali LuUicI, and we have 1,02S,( bushel of ears, or-311,1 bushels shelled corn; ;51-i.3 then, would be very near the lied corn in a crib of the dimensions he gives, from the kind of corn we rinse here. The reason will be seen by multiplying the cubic foot (1,000) by the number of inches in a cubi" L-ot (1,72?) zrA dividing by tho number i,f incites in a bu-hel. (2,LS0.42) which give' the contents, (1,2S.5.7 ; struck measure. Th :i deduct the allowance 1-5 for rounding the measure, and you bnvo the number of bu.-hel of ears (1,02S.G) cue hair of which wcr.Id be the iiuu.ler of bushels shelled com. The rule laid down by W. II. C. is, to deduct on fifth from ihe cubic feet con tents cf the crib. To us? the example he gives: Thus Z0 by 20 1 y S equals 1.GU0 feet deduct l-o and we have 1 , 2S0 bushels cars. Ly the rule given in the Tost to multi ply the cubic feet contents by 4 and a half thus : 20 1 y 10 1 y 8 e -nal 1,000 feel LOGO i y f,-,r a:;d a half cp.;nl 720 bush- c-l.-i oi sl.ei cor.i, Assuming this to bo reckoned r.t three 1 u.-l ifls id" t ars to two I 1 I ' 1 , 1 Oi tiiemu corn, then to rentier it to our ".nciarit. we must multiply the . 20 by J. ''Vi'!e 1 y 2. to g.-t the number of I'ushcis cf ears, thus: 720 by 3 divided by 2 equals l.VO fnir-helj of ecrs. or 540 shelled corn. Here, agam we have tea much, though this come much nearer than the rule given by the Tost or by W. II. C. . Now. to rccnpitt-.i."te. we hr.ve fir?t. by actm! contents, calculating by the num- her cf inches; and al'ouiug one-fifth fcr rounding measure, 514.3 bushels ; by W. il. C.'s rub-. 010 bushels; ly the rule in the Post, 720 lu.-hels; reducing the lat ter to our standard, 50 bushels. Here you perceive is a wide differ ence. Tlie first and last being the near est to each ether, and the firt; I think, nearest of any to the truth. Now, wore I to give a rule that would be simple and at the same time nearly correct, it would be nearly as follows : j Multiply the cut io fet contents by three j and one fourth, cut of the riirht hand li- ure, and you have the nun.be r of bush els rf shellttl d-.rn near enough fer prac tical purposes, though it may be a little too much. A very little oT-sorvation will serve to test the corrtctiiLS.-: of this rtiio. Of all , things' I hate to ' deceive him -elf see a larme-r cne at cr in estimating his crops. As trutn is what y .t? and your readers wi-h to get r.t, I have ventured to write the ahi.ve. If your corn is grcer, or if it has not sctth'-d in the crib, it v.id le safer to mul tiply ly 3 1-5. J.
