Of all kinds, fcr !e at ih ofHee. Miscellaneons. No sucli thing as Death! "There's no inch thing as death !" To those who think aright, 'TIs but the racer casting off What most impedes his light ; , 'Tislut one little act Life's drama mast contain ; One struggle keener than the rest. And then aa end to pain. "There's no such thing as death !" That which Is thns miscalled . Is life escaping from the chains "Which have so long enthralled) 'Tis a once hidden star, , Piercing through the night, To shine In gentle radiance forth Amid its kindred light. "Thero's no such thing as death 1" . In Nature nothing dies ! Frcm ea:h sad remnant of decay So mo forms of life arise ; The faded leaf that falls, All sear and brown, to earth, Ere long shall mingle with the shapes That give the flowers birth. "Thero is bo such thing as death 1" 'Tis but the blossom sprays. Sinking before the coming fruit That seeks the summer's rays ; Tis but the bud displaced, As comes the perfect Cower; 'Tis fai th exc tanged for light, And wearinc-ss for power. Happiness Evenly Distributed. I incline to think that were our minds capable of apprehending the essential facts of the life we see, we should be convinced that happiness is one of the most evenly distributed of all human possessions. The laborer loves his wife and children as well as the lord, and takes into his soul all the tender and pre cious influences that flow to him through their love as well as his. Food tastes as sweet to the plowman as to the placeman, if ihe latter have the daintier dish, the former has the keener appetite. Into all ears the brook pours the same stream of music, and the birds never vary their programme with reference to their audi ence. The spring scatters violets broad cast, and grass grows by the roadside as well as in the park. The breeze that tosses the curls of your little ones ana mine is not softer in its caresses than those who bound o?er the velvet to meet it. Ihe sun shine?, tne ram fans, tne trees dress themselves in green, the thun der rolls and the stars flash for all alike. Health knows nothing of human distinc tions, and abides with him who treats it best. Sleep, the gentle angel does not come at the call of power, and never proffers its ministry for gold. The senses take no bribes of luxury; but deal as hon estly and generously by the poor as by the rich; and the President of the United States would whistle himself blind before hecoYild call our dog from us. Timothy Titcomb. How he had him! A man named Wells kept a tavern in ore of our Western villages ; hut though his house had a very good name, it was more than he had himself; for it was surmised by his neighbors that he used a great deal of fodder, corn, &c, for which he never gave an equivalent, though it had never been clearly proved upon him. Early one morning he was met by an acquaintance, named Wilkes, as he was driving before him a heifer, which he had most probably borrowed from some far mer. "Hallo, Wells, where did you get that heifer?" "Bought her of Col. Stevens," was the unhesitating reply. "What did you pay for her?" "Twenty dollars," said Wells, as he hurried on. About an hour afterwards, as Wilkes was sitting in Wells bar-rrom, Col. Ste vens. After a few minutes conversation, Wilke3 said : "A fine animal that you sold Wells !" "I don't understand you; I never sold Wells any animal." "Didn't you? W7hy, I met him this morning with a heifer, which he said he bought of you for twenty dollars" "lie did, eh? Well, since he said so, he has got to pay me for her," said Ste vens. Wells entered soon after, and Stevens, stepping up to him, said : "Come, Wells, I'll trouble you for the money for that heifer; it was a cash bar gain, you know." "I never bought any heifer of you.' "Don't you remember you bought one af me for twenty dollars? Here's Wilkes can prove it." "No, he can't." "You. told me so this morning," said Wilkes. A curious expression passed over Well's face; he felt himself cornered he had either to tell where he got the ani mal, or lose the twenty dollars and thinking it notsafefor him to do the first, he pulled out his wallet, counted out the money, and handed it to Stevens, saying: "So I did so I did. I had forgotten all about it, you must excuse me." Pleasant Words. " How little these cost, yet how full of power. A writer says of them : "They come bubbling up in a good na tured heart, like the 'free gushing waters of a fountain. It is as easy to speak them as to breathe. They come forth as easily and naturally from the lips of kindness as the rays from the sun. There is no pains taking about the natter. Pleasant words beget other words like themselves, in oth er people. We have been in a crowded omnibus. A few snappish, sulky words, have multiplied their species, till most of the travelers have taken shares in the same stock. But a genial soul enters. His kind words get wings. They produce an epidemic. Growler number one, and number two, change voice and visage. The magic of a few kind words has done wonders. Ill niture has jumped out of the coach, and i3 off for parts unknown; and good nature keeps all things "in ex cellent trim for the rest of the trip. If all this is so, then let us fling our caps in the air and go into a revolution. Hot words and sharp words have had the scep tre quite long enough.. Let us overset the government, and put the domination in a better hand. Pleasant words, born of kind and loving hearts, are to be wel comed back to supremacy, They will fill the throne with honor. A garden is a beautiful book, written by the finger of God; every flower and every leaf is a letter. You have only to learn them, and he is a poor dunce that cannot, if he will do that to learn them, and join them, and then go on reading, and you will find yourself carried from the earth to the skies by the beautiful story you are going through. You do net know what beautiful thoughts for they are nothing short grow out of the ground, and seem to talk to a man ; and then there are some flowers they seem like over-dutiful children tend them ever so little, and they come up and flourish, and show, as I may say, their bright and happy faces to you. To Mary. I am thinking of the time, Mary, when sitting by thy side, and shelling beans, I gazed on thee, and felt a wondrous pride. In silence lean'd we o'er the pan, and neither spoke a word, but the beans, Mary, was all the sound we heard. Thv auburn curls hung down, Mary, and kiss ed thy auburn cheek ; thy azure eyes, half filled with tears, bespoke a spirit meek. To be so charmed as I was then, had ne'er befora occurred, when the rat tling of the beans, Mary, was all the sound I heard. I thought it wa3 not wrong, Mary, so leaning o'er the dish, as you snatched up a handful of beans, I snatched a nectared kiss. And suddenly there came a shower, as I neither saw nor stirred, but the rattling of thb beans, Mary, was all the sound I heard. From the American Fanner About the Strawberry. This is a hackneyed subject surely; still, as strawberry beds are by no means common, a little plain advice may increase their number. Most people who do not cultivate this very desirable fruit, think that it requires a great deal of extra care and expense, and laboring under this mistake, they are deterred from commen cing its culture. This plant will accom modate itself to any soil and any location and surely bears neglect better than any other plant. It pays for extra care soon er than most plants, but with moderate care it yields very fair crop3 of very fair fruit. I have a few plain rules that guide me in my treatment of the strawberry, which if followed to the letter, will prove them selves good rules. 1st. Never have the beds so wide as to require the gatherer even to lean on them. 2d. Never use animal manure, 3d. Keep the beds clear of weeds and grass. I find that any time from August to the blooming sea son will answer for transDlanting. The first requisite i3 to have the beds in good order. Lay them off five feet wide, then spread evenly over them a good coating well rotted wood-pile manure or woods mould, which ir to be deeply spaded in. During a moist or rainy spell sst the plants in 3 rowsandfrom 12 to 24 inches apart in the row. I never permit the runners to. take entire possession cf my beds, but keep them back by pinching in the spring, and a fall weeding. By this treatment my beds are pretty well cover ed without being matted. After the fall weeding, the beds are sowed over with wood ashes, and during the early winter, os there are opportunities, they are cov ered over with wood-pile manure or spent tan. During the early spring, when the beds are covered with young green leaves they are well dusted with plaster or shell lime. cnd when the blooms show them selves, they are again sowed over with ashes. These sowings are always made in damp weather. This comprises the entire culture required to ensure this fruit in perfection. I have never known a bed too old to bear, and believe, if ma naged as above directed, they will last at least 30 years. This cry about new va rieties is all a fudge. There is a great deal more in the culture than the kind, and the old sorts are good enough for anybody. I have the Early Scarlet, Ho vey and Peabody's Seedling, which three ripen in succession and furnish an abun dance of unsurpassed fruit, which lasts until we have so "many raspberries we do not miss the strawberries. The Early Scarlet' and Hovey Seedling are well tried, well proven and well known. The Peabody 13 a fine, large, late berry, keeps well and continues in bearing long er than any o'.hei I have ever known; all of which qualities are very desirable. I obtained these plants when they were selling at S5per dozen, and to the origin ator of this seedling I am indebted for all that I know in regard to the culture cf the strawberry. In the Patent Oince Report on Agriculture, for 1So3, there is the best article on this subject that I ever read. II. C. From the Country Gentleman and Cultivator. The Farmer's Eesoarccs. No occupation affords such various sources of emolument as farming. The resources at the command of the farmer are very great, and yet many of them are scarcelh inquired into. This is surprising when we take into view the activity which exists in all other departments of indus try. The modern mode of getting gam, however, is by associating together in business operations ; and though activity and industry seem then to be carried to their utmost stretch, men seem disposed to wait for one another, and are afraid to venture into any new undertaking alone. The great drawback to individual action and active inquiry regarding the enlarge ment of the sphere of industry in the case of the farmer, seems to lie in the fact that he is in general at his wit's end to discover the great secret of economic management. He should at least settle his mind upon this subject sufficiently to determine whether farming, in any form, is profitable with him. That it is so with some people, the recent discussions tend abundantly to show. If at least one quarter of all his capital is not in the form of personal estate, so that he cau, without losses, withhold his crops from the market if occasion require, for a more favorable opportunity of sale, and have available means for the geneial conduct of his ordinary affairs, precisely as in other branches of business in none of which the fixed capital is out of propor tion to the other his condition is a sorry one ; and he will feel himself hampered and restrained in all hi-- undertakings, great and small, till these things are right ly adjusfed. No doubt, by great perseverance and industry, accompanied by extreme frugal ity his eye intently fixed upon the great object of ultimate success, and his mind active in devising means to accomplish his design by the exercise of calculating forethought, he will reap the reward of his self-denial and zeal ; but nothing short of this, which few men are willing to exercise, will accomplish it, unless his means are perfectly under his control. These matters being arranged, nothjng lies in the way of success; and the farmer can, with a disembarrassed mind, pursue his calling in any form which promises a a fair return. We are placed under a most burden some restraint by an ill arrangement of capital, whether we have little or much ; and many men are in danger of being completely perplexed in their efforts to discover the cause of the difficulty, the effect of which they se? and deplore, and keep up a continual warfare against it, though they fight as one that beateth the air. The secrets of success are few and plain, and may be learned by any one who will carefully consider the matter. Do not conjure up imaginary difficulties which have no real existence' Can it not be certainly ascertained that you can dispose of even the small pro duct of your own farm, to great advant age, if you go out of the ordinary routine of the farming productions of your im mediate neighborhood, and devote your land to some other branch of husbandry? A person is often deterred from under taking the growth of anything new to him or the locality in which he lives, by the simple fact of its novelty. If he can satisfy himself on good grounds (though never without careful inquiry and calcula tion,) that such an undertaking will prove remunerative to him, let him enter upon it boldly, and especially if any of his neighbors will unite in the project with him. And it is worthy of observation, that associations, as they exist in almost all other departments of industry and business, are rarely found among agricul turists. Why is this so? The results of such union of intelligence, capital and power, wculd be equally great and suc cessful in agriculture a3 in other pursuits; and we predict that the day is at hand when such combinations will be formed freely. In iew of the inducements afforded to enter upon the production cf new commodities in agriculture, the bene fits of traveling to, and visiting localities where the designed operations are already carried on, will be readily seen and ac knowledged. The importance of going beyond the immediate territory in which ourselves and neighbors farm, is great. Farmers are rewarded b'y traveling, more than any other class of men. Wo be co.ne much restricted in our thoughts and opinions, end confined in our actson3, by seeing nothing year after year but what our neighbors can show us. Districts all have their peculiarities as well as countries, though in a less degree, and we do we.ll to glean the good out of the practices cf all o them. The facilities afforded to travelers of visiting places remote from their own townships, constitute one of the chief means which have brought about the re cent marvelous activity in trade, and even she changes in farming, which have crept upon us, almost unperceived in their grad ual advance. The raising of good cattle and horses, and their various productions, when we consider how many animals are kept and bred which are not fit fcr a good farmer to possess, affording only an iota of the returns derived from animals of a better class, which might be kept just as well and with infinitely greater profit and economy, opens a large field cf agricul tural emolument. Gccd productions of any sort always command a ready sale as leng as' a market exisis for that species of commodity. A large demand exists for flax, hemp and wool, and cne country provides only a modicum of the raw ma terial consumed in her own factories, to say nothing of the requisitions cf foreign markets. ' Professor Johnston strongly urged their culture in Canada. Russia produces hemp and flax in greater amount than any other country. Much cf our soil and clirr.ata resembles those of these countries, ted none is better adapted to tha prcductica of these articles from Maine to Texas. We do wrong when we give this' matter so little consideration. Mules, as draught animals, are coming into great demand, and the raising of them is much neglect ed. The value of the animal is compar atively little known. He is thriftier and more enduring and longer lived than the horse, and all disposition in him to become stubborn and intractable, can be overcome under proper care in rearing. There are also timber growing and fruit raising, both worth much greater attention than they receive, and holding open a wide door to the enterprising cul turi?t. These are branches cf husbandry, disregarded by farmers in a great measure, but certainly offer inducements for the in vestment of his capital, with sure premise cf abundant reward under the exercisa of business talent, and with ordinary capacity. Almost all the departments of agriculture now pursued, offer greater reward to the ingenious business farmtr than they generally afford under ordinary treatment. To such a man, industrious, active, reflecting, alert, there is nolranch of husbandry which is not "capable of yielding an abundant support, o. t. . ' The Tobacco Crop The value of the tobacco exported from the United States last year was nearly five times that of our- sea products, fifty per cent more than the products cf the forest, not quite three millions cf dollars les3 than the whole export of vegetable food, and rather over an eighth cf tha value of the cotton crop. The tobacco plantations of the United States are esti mated by the United Slates Economist as yielded from thirty-five to forty million3 of dollars annually. For the last forty years ths crop has shown a steady in crease; it is, however, chiefly during lata years that the production has most large ly extended. In 1S21 the value cf to bacco exported was S3,G-1S.S62, and fcr fifteen years the amount taken fcr foreign consumption continued to average about that value. In 1S3G the export reached S10,03S,G4O, and in 16-11, S12.57o.703. from which point it fluctuated down to about 81,500,000, until 1S1G the shipment amounted to 8,473,370. The total value of exports of leaf tobacco, for the fiscal year ending 30th June, 1S59, was 21,i 074,033. In 1S55 the income derived by Great- Britian from duties on American leaf tobacco wasSlS,297,4SS ; by France and average of 810,000,000, making'an aggregrte for both cf 834,000.000, or exceeding by over 50 per cent, the total value of leaf exported from the United States. Exchange. Useful Medical Hints. We find the following remarks in the Cincinnalus, a scientific and agricultural journal, published at Cincinnati. Ohio: If a person swallows any poison what ever, or ha3 fallen into convulsions from having overloaded the stomach, an instan taneous remedy is a tea-spoonfulof com mon salt, and a3 much common ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a tea cup of water, warm or cold, and swallow ed instantly. It is scarcely down before it begins to come up, bringing with it the contents of the stomach; and lest there be any remnant of poison, however small, let the while of aneggcr a tea-cupful of strong coffee be swallowed as scon as the stomach is quiet; bceausa these nul lify many virulent poisons. In case cf scalding or burning the body, immersing the part in cold water gives entire relief, as instantaneously as the lightning. Meanwhile get some ccmrr.cn dry flour, and apply it an inch or two thick oa the injured par! the moment it emerge3 from the water, and keep sprinkling on the flour through anything HUe a pepper-bor cover, so a3 to put it oa evenly. Do no thing else ; drink nothing but water ; eat nothing until improvement commences, except some dry tread softened in very weak tea of some kind. Cures cf fright ful burnings have been performed in this way, a3 wonderful as they are painless. We once saved the life of an infant which had been inadvertently drugged with laudanum, and which was fast sink ing into the sleep which has no waking, by giving it strong coffee, cleared with the white of an egg a tea-spoonful eve-, ry five minutes until it ceased to secra .drowsy. The felon, with all the "remedies re commended, is seldom arrested until it has run a certain course, after causing great suffering for two or three days and nighu. The following remedy is vouched for by the Buffalo Advocate, as a certain thing from its own knowledge : "Take a pint cf common soft soap and stir in air slacked lime till it is cf the consistency cf glazier's putty. Make a leather thim ble, fill it with this composition, asd in sert the finger therein, and a cure is cer tain." This is a domestic application that every housekeeper can apply promptly. The statue of Jefferson, ordered by the Legislature of Virginia, will shortly arrive frcm Italy.
