After a ride of two liundrcd miles
through uninterrupted snow-banks, one
is rather surprised to find himself prom
enading dry ilags and cobblo-stones in New
York. The city is innocent of snow, yet
the waatber we have here is de-spiriting
enough: rainy, foggy, true London weath
er. The sun has forsaken us, for the
ieu.1 of w ar, or some other center of inter
est. Coining from sheerful firesides ol
Yankeedom, where mils' are cracked, and
apples eatm, one is struck by the care
worn; anxious expressions which sila on
all the "old fami iar faces," from tho Wall
street banker to the Fullon ferry apple
woman. The countences of buisness
men lire "signs of the times," betokeing
bankruptcy, famine, and till such direful
visions. Therefore tho city is doleful
.ho' Fashion spreads hor peacock tail not
less superbly than of old. Aininj the
poor there is, and will be though tho win
ter, a great deal of suffersng. It is dif
ficult to obtain employment und imny are
, brown out of occupation by the reverses
of employers. The benevolent societies
of this and the adjoining cities are laboring
faithfully to improve the condition of the
various classes of poor whom they have
taken in charge. The Female Employ
ment Sociely, of U ooklyn, is affording
,h means of supporl to many indigent
seninslresses, by enabling theinto dispo se
of their work at remuneiativo ju ices.
One would think fro n the dolorous out
cry, that we w tie u'l in danger of star,

while fishies swim tho water u 1 caltl

have been put in early and in the best
manner, land not injured by previous
mismanagement, have been but slightly
affected. An energetic fanner of our ac
quaintance prepared his land last year, by
first turning over deeply a good clover
aod then giving, this a good coat of com
post in.uure then harrowing the interl
e I sod and compost into complete inter
mixture and pulverization then turning
the whole under with the gang-plow just
deep enough for the roots of the young
wheat which was put in with a drill in
the best manner. The whole of this was
accomplished by the first day of au'um-..
Oilier crops on the same farm, after cam,
were also well put in, but necessarily

named crop yielded the present, season of
drought and insects, not less ihan thirty
bushels eflhc finest wheat per acre the
other was only ten bushels per acre.
Others crops in the same neighborhood,
.own riter corn with only ordinary care
and ti.litge, produced but five bushels per
acre. Iu one instance, when two fisdd
were sown fide by side, on similar I.nd,

thoroughly tilled with an especial view to
the destruction of "June grass," the lat
ter yield! nineteen bu.lv.ls per ucre, tha
former only ten. Lxamples may be mul
tiplied to degree, showing the great pro-
fus of the best modes of tillage for secur
ity against these depredators.
The present year of extraordinary
drought has furnished some interesting
lessons on the diffctence between the ef
fects of good end bad management. The

IS KSLIClOl BEAUTIFUL.
Always! In Ihe child, the maiden, the
wife, the mother, religion shines wilh a
holy, benignant beauty of its own, which
no'hing of earth can mar. Never yet was
the female character perfect without the
study fai.h of piety. Buauty, intellect,
and wealth they ore like pit-falls, dark
in the brightest day, unless the divine
light, unless religion throws her soft teams
around them, to purify and exalt, making
twice glorious that which seemed all love
liness before.
Religion is very beautiful in health or
sickness, iu wealth or poverty. We nev
er enter the sick chamber of the good,
but soft music seems to float on the air.
and the burden ef their song is : "Lo!
peace is here."
Could we look into thousands of fam
ilies to-day, when discontent fights sul
lenly widi life, we should find the chief
cause of uuhappiness, want of religion iu
weinan.
And in the felon's cells in places of
crime, misery, destitution, ignoble we
should behold in all its most terrible de-
mitv, the fruit of irrc'.igion in woman.
Oh, i.!';.'ou! benignant in;jesly, high

23" A very excellent cement for seams
in ihe roofs of houses, or for any other
exposed places, is made with white lead,
dry whi.e s.i d, and a much oil as will
make it into the consistency of putty.
This cement gets as hard us any stone in
ic course of a few weeks. The lead
forms a kind of a flux wiih ihe sand; it is
excellent far filling up cracks in exposed
parts of brick buildings; it is also a good
ccrtent for pointing chimneys, where they
project through ihe roofs of shingled hous-
s. We have Made this cement and tried
it, and speak about il from experience only.
for we have no knowledge of its ever liv
ing been described in any work. Life

Love. ILw bright and beautiful is
love' in i s hour of purity and iunocenco
how mysteriously it etherealizes every
feeling, and concentrates every wild be
wildering impulse of the heart; Love
holy nd mysterious love! it is the jrar
laud spring of life, the poetry of nature.
Its song is heard in the rude hut of the
poor, as well as of the gorgeous princes
of the rich its flames embellish the soli
tude of the forest, and the thronged haunts
of busy life, and its lijht imparts brillim
cy to every heart, nojnatler what may be
its condition.
Love pure and devoted love cm
never c) ange. Friends my forget is
the riches of this world my soon soar
away, but the heart that loves will cling
ihe closer; as loud roars the storm, and
mid the wreck of the tempest, it will
serve as u "beacon" to light us on to safe
ly and happiness.
Love is the music and unseen spell that
soothes tho wild and rugged tendencies of
human nature, that lingers about the sanc
tity of the fireside, and unites iu closer
union of the fafTec. ions of society, and tho
soul thuL loves truly will live forever.
Not lika ihe waves of the ocejm: nor trac
ed in sand, is the image impressed upon a
loving heart. No, no, but it will remain
unbroken and unmarred it will burn un
drfneed in its lustre, amid tho quick rush
of the tempest cloud and when our f ato
seems dark and dreary, then will love
seek shelter in her own hallowed temple,
and offer us a sacrifice, her vows and affections.
