It is related by a Persian mother that on giving her son forty pieces of silver as his portion, she made him swear never to tell a lie, and said, " Go my son, I consign thee to God, and we will not meet again till the day of judgment." The youth went away, and the party ho travelled with was assaulted by robbers. One fellow asked the boy what he had got, and lie said, " forty dinars are sewed up in my garments." Ho laughed, thinking he jested. Another asked him the same question and reeeived the same answer. At last the chief called him, and asked him the same question, and ho said, "1 have told two of your people already that I had forty dinars sewed up in my clothes." He ordered the clothes to be ripped open and found the money. " And how came you to tell this ?" said the chief. " Because," icplied the child, ' I would be false to my mother, to whom I promised never to tell a lie." " Child," said the robber, ' art thou so ,e 11? J . Mini'iiui ui my amy 10 tny mother at thy years, and am I insensible at my age of the duty I owe to God 1 Give me thy hand that I may swear repentance on it." He did so, and ids followers were all struck with the scene. "You have been our leader in guilt," they said to the chief, " be the same in the path of virtue," and they immediately made restitution of their spoils, and vowed repentance on the boy's hand There is a moral in this story, which goes beyond the direct influence of the mother on the child. The noble sentiment infused into the breast of the child is again transfused from breast to breast, till thoso who felt it know not whence it comes. Faith. Children, as well as grown up people,must have faith in God. This they sometimes j find difficult. We have met with the following illnatrntion of the subject which we wish | them to read. A gentleman, a minister of ; Christ, went one day into a dark cellar, i which was entered by a trap-door. A little daughter, only throe years old, was trying to find him, came to the trap door, but on looking down all was dark, dark, and she called, ' Are you down cellar, papa ?" 44 Yes; would you like to come, Mary ?" 44 It is dark. I can't come, papa." 44 Well my daughter, I am right below you and I can seo you, thongh you cannot see me, and if you will drop yourself f will catch you." 44 Oh, 1 should fall; I can't see you, papa." ( 441 know it," he answered, 44 but I am | really here, and you shall not fall or hurt , yourself. If you will jump, I will catch you < safely.- M t Little Mary strained her o. es to the ut- j most, but she could catch no glimpse of her j i father. She hesitated, then advanced a little ! 1 further, then suminoniug all her resolution, ' ' ! she threw hnrself forward, and was received ' 1 safely in her father's arms. The minister thought this a fine iflustra- j tion of faith in Cod. And so it is. You, | I children, cannoi see vioit, but lie can see you. I Ami ho calls you to him and says, " Thoso ! that seek me early shall find inc." Will you I not seek him, in the exercise of a faith like I that of the little girl, saying: |" A guilty,weak, and helpless worm, Into thine arms I fall; j Be thou my strength, my righteousness, I My Jesus and my All." i 51 g r x r it 11 u r n l. Plowing in Green Crops. J This subject has been before fully treat- j I oil, but in answer to P. S.. of Fairfield, j I in relation to the plowing in of green i corn, and its etlbets on the soil, we would i l state that this, in common with all other : I green crops, deposits in the surface-soil 1 j by its decay, two classes of substances; i the chief bulk is organic matter obtained j from the atmosphere, and the green crop which will produce the greatest number ; of tons to the acre, will secure the largest ! amount of this class of material, the chief 1 constituent of which is carbon, abstracted J from the carbonic acid gas pervading the J atmosphere and arising from the decay of former vegetation. The next class of substances are those usually denominated in- j organic, and which often exist plentifully 1 in the sub-soil; these are received by the ' roots of plants and go to f?>rin parts of i I their tops:?thus Lime, Soda, Potash, I Magnesia, Phosphoric Aeid, Sulphuric j Aeid, Clorine, ite., are all taken up by I | thn roots of plants, and when green crops are plowed under, these are deposited in I the surface-soil, and in proper condition, i j and suitable relative proportions for the j ; use ot crops winch are t<? follow. When j tlie object to lie attained by the plowing ! in of preen crops is to increase the | J amount of organic matter in the surfacesoil, then clover, or buckwheat, or peas | haulm, may bo used with groat advantage, as these plants receive a very large < ! proportion of their constituents from the atmosphere. When the object is to elc | j vate the inorganic constituents, of the sub- j soil and place then: in the surlace-soil, then plants should be selected, the the roots of which pass down to the grea- i test depth, and the composition of which necessarily contains largo proportions of inorganic matter. Lucerne, Alfalfa, Clover, and Indian Corn, are the green crops for this peculiar property, and those should be selected most su table to the soil intended to be improved. Many, of the root j crops may be used with advantage as a green crop for plowing in: thus the Strapj leaved lied Top Turnip, if sow n after summer crops are taken from the ground, will make partial growth before winter, and will continue to grow later than most other crops. They are not killed bv w inter frosts, and w ill resume their growth early in the spring, continuing with great | rapidity up to the time the farmer may he ready to plough his ground. Their I power of growth may ho caused to ' cease by the application of a heavy roller j crushing their crowns, and they may he [ plowed under, supplying t<> the surface.ill >).? - I ..v.., .... uiw Iin/U^nillt unniiuR'llts OI I lie sul>soil which the turnip is capable of taking up. Its amount of organic matter is always large, while its rapid decay, when placed beneath the surfaces of the.soil, will assist early in vegetation of all kinds. Green crops, as manures, can only j | lie used with propriety when intended to | I increase the organic matter of the soil in 1 localities where peat, muck, river mini, I leaves from the woods, and other cheap i | organic materials cannot readily be pro- i cured; for where these abound, but few i j loads, properly prepared, will furnish or- , ganic matter to the soil more cheaply 1 1 and in larger quantities, than would result from plowing in of the heaviest green | crops. Thoso who are curious on this I subject, will find more minute accounts j of the action of green crops and their re!- I ative values with each other, in our for- j mer volumes. When the object is to elevate the inor-1 ganic. matter of the sulesoil, green crops become necessary in localities where the required inorganic constituents can be cheaply added; wherever they abound in any of the cheap forms, they may be ' added to the surface-soils with more economy than the bringing up of similar ingredient, from the sub-soil by deeper dis- j integration, to be taken up by saleable j crops, is always judicious, and the use of green crops as manures is seldom called < j for, where soils have been treated with a strict view to their chemical composition.? ; i i War kin'' Farmer. r in ? l' | Tiik Riii'dard.?This excellent garden t , 1 plant should be set in a rich soil, ami culli- , l vated with great assiduity. Stable manures : | should be frequently strewn ibout each , root during the whole summer, to insure ' a luxuriant growth of stalks, which is the ! principal object of its cultivation. Theso | stalks, with proper attention, can Ixj grown ' I to a very large, size, and are an excellent j j ' substitute for tho apple, tor pies, sauce,), preserves, Sic. They are mucu inproved, , I and I find by shading them as much as , I possible from the sun, which may be done j by sawing old barrels asunder and placing ' the halves about each plant, allowing the leaves to protrude through the opening at the top. I have seen a whole barrel, | mjMiwsB una uouonuexs, completely filled . with the long, stout stalks. The seed stalk, which spiings up in the centre of tho bunch, should be broken down as it f being hollow and useless, and injuring the . growth of the other stalks. The root of the rhubarb (Rhenn's Palmatuni) con- j contains medicinal properties, ami shotdd bo cut up in strips and dried for use. A 8 learned botanical physician says,M it possesses the proj)crty of contracting the animal fibres, while it opcrntes as a thorough vi cathartic; its operations, therefore, for weak- fr ly constitutions, that cannot bear more w Irastic physic, in case of diarrhoea and "J lebility of the bowels, is very useful. In re 'tuall doses it w ill invigorate the stomach." dc Ml should either raise or buy their own oot and grate it, and then they will know what they have. 1 have seen rotten, worm iaten rhubarb ground up with a yellow kind of riH>t, to give it color. The man who was grinding it informed me that it was for a wholesale dealer in drugs in a neighboring city. There is much uncertainty about all medicines that are ground.

The pure guanuo burns to a white ash, the earth or clay, in the adulterated, to a red or brown powder. Tricks of Animals, In breaking or managing a horse, however intractable or stubborn his temper may bo, preserve your own. Almost every fault the brute has, arises from ignorance. He patient with him; teach and coax him, and success in time is certain. There are tricks, however, which are the result of confirmed habit or vieiousness, and these sometimes require a different treatment. A horse accustomed to starting and running away, maybe effectually cured, by putting him to the top of his speed on such occasions, and running till pretty thoroughly exhausted. A horse that had a trick of pulling his bridle and breaking it, was at last reduced to better habits by tying him tightly to a stake driven on the bank of a steep stream, with his tail pointing to the water; lie commenced pulling at the halter,which suddenly parted ; over the bank lie tumbled, and after a somerset or two, and floundering awhile fn the water, he was satisfied to remain at his post in future, and break 110 more bridles. A rani has been cured of butting at everything and everybody, by placing an uniexisting cfligy in a similar position ; the sudden assault on a wintry day then resulted in tumbling his ramship into a cold bath, which his improved manner took good care to avoid in future. A sheep killing dog has been made too milch ashamed ever again to look a sheep in the face, by tying his hind leg to a stout rani on the brow of a hill, while the dock were quietly feeding at the bottom. The rain being free, aad in haste to rejoin Iiis friends, tumbled ami thumped Master Tray so sadly over the stones and gullies, that he was quite satislied to confine himself to cooked mutton thereafter Man's reason was given him to control "the beasts of the field and birds of the air," by other means than force. If he will bring this into play, he will have no ilitliculty in meeting and overcoming every emergency of perverse instinct or bad habit in the dumb things by his su|?crior cunning.?Amtricun .Iyriculturist, 'lint mill luuimr. Miss Thkimiina and Miss Trephosa,two ancient ladies of virgin fame, formerly kept a boarding house in the immediate vicinity of the Crosby-street Medical College.? They tonkin students, did their washing, and to the best of their abilities, mended their shirts and their morals. Miss Trepliina, in spite of the numerous landmarks which time had set upon her person, was still of the sentimental order. She always uresscu " uc jityueitr" in cerulean blue,? and wore false ringlets and teeth (miserable dicta /) of exceedingly doubtful extraction. Miss Trephosa, her sister, was on the contrary, an uncommonly "strong minded" woman, lier appearance would have been positively majestic, had it not been for an unfortunate squint, which went far to upset the dignified expression of her countenance. She wore a fillet upon her brows " a la O'ren/ue," and people did say that her temper was as cross is here)os. Hob Turner was a whole soulcd Keutuckian, for whom his professional guardian obtained lodgings 111 the establishment presided over by these two fascinating damsels. Somehow or other, Hob and his hostesses did not keep on the best of terms very long. Hob had no notion of having his minutest actions submitted to a surveilaneo as rigid as (in his opinion) it was impertinent. One morning a fellow student passing by at an early hour, saw the Keutuckian, who was standing upon the stops of the dragons' castle, from which he had just emerged, take from his pocket a slip of paper, and proceed to aflix the same, with the aid of wafers, to the street door. The student skulked about the premises until Hob was out of sight, and he could read without observation the inscription placarded upon the panel. It was as follows?we do not vouch for its originality, although we know nothing to the contrary : 'To let or to lease, for the term of her life, A scolding old maid, in the way of n wife; She's old and she's ugly?ill natured and thin; For further particulars, inquire within P An hour afterward the paper had disappeared from the door. Whether Bob was ever detected or not, we cannot tell, but he changed his lodgings the next term. ?Harj>crs Magazine. iC-e?"
