THE CONTRAST. 44 Slio looketh woll to the ways of her household, andcateth not the bread ot' idleness." Having passed the summer months in a small village, in one of the \\ estern states, I had opportunity to become familiarly acquainted with the characters and circumstances of two families, in one neighborhood, which formed a striking Contrast to each other. The different degrees of happiness and respectability enjoyed by these families might readily be traced to the different management of the two mothers. Their husbands, Mr. (ienett and Mr. Ladd, were farmers, both of whom had been enabled, some years previous, by a decent patrimony, to purchase a good farm at the West. Before they left their native State, they were temperate, but not temperance men. As is too often the case, the labors and hardships incident to clearing up new settlements, proved the means of exposing the latent evils of the human heart in all their native and disgusting deformity. In the course of a few \cars, both these husbands became confirmed drunkards. * * * ?-- ? ? ... MliCir Cluldren nau arrived ui an ugr iu render great assistance in the cultivation of their respective farms, and had there been wise management on the part of both the mothers, they might have been equally happy and prosperous. Mrs. Geuett was born in an eastern city. She was not only amiable, but as to books, wel} informed. She also possessed a fine countenance, and agreeblo manners; and by strangers especially, she was considered a prepossessing woman. Hut notwithstanding all these commendations, I hesitate not to say, that she was totally unfit, under any circumstances, for a wife or a mother. Indolence and self-esteem were the predominant traits of her character. In early life, like too many others, she probably imbibed the impression, that domestic labor, and the requisite attention to domestic duties, were unbecoming a lady. Mrs. Genetl's house, as might be expected, was always untidv, and in an uproar. Her children were iudolent, quarrelsome, selfish, and disobedient. 1 regret tr say, that they were taught, even by theii mother, to treat their father with disrespect, and rudeness, which often so exasperated him, that the most revolting scenes ofton occurred between this fathei and his sons. The Sabbath was spent b\ * m I m tinl/li these children, ny sauiuci mg m mc in pursuit of pleasure, or in gathering nut; or berries. Though Mrs. Genett was ? professor of religion, yet how often wa< the name of God profaned in her family O,- how could a mother be so totally blinded as to suppose that she did truly love her God, or was disposed to obe} his holy and reasonable commands, whih she so sinfully neglected to train up hei children in the way they should go, alike jeopardizing their temporal & eternal wel fare! Karely ever did a remonstrance fal from this mother's lips, even for the inos flagrant offences, and never did her voice ir prayer, fall like 44 sweet music upon the delighted ear of her children." Positive and open rebellion to her commands was of every day occurrence; I need not add that a more indolent and ungovernable family was not to be found. Oue of hei daughters was at length married, and foi two years, her example was a revolting comment upon her mother's miserable management. At the expiration of ihi: period, God, in his sovereign mercy, *sav fit to snatch this mother as a brand fron the burning: and she is now endeavoring 1 ? :li_ .. to retrace her steps, nopmg, u pussiuiu, u dislodge some of her own early and erro - neous impressions. It is clue to Mr. Genet to say, that his management with lm children, when not under the influence ol the inebriating cup, was.far more consistent than that of his wife. lie always se before them nn example of industry am economy; fa* Ujfd not this been the case utter ruin and poverty must have ensued And here I would remark : What a bless ing parents entail upon their childrei when they train them to habits of industry and economy! In the case of Mr Genctt, this fact was strikingly exempli lied. Even after many years of intern eprancc, his habits of early childhooc had such a powerful influence over him that they might be said, mainly, to swaj the husband, the father, and the man. Let us now reverse this sad picture Behold in Mrs. Lndd, a woman in whon was centred every requisite qaulification to render her a good wife and mother She was a pattern of Christain fortitude patience, self-denial, perseverance, nctivi^ tv, industry, neatness, and economy: noi A ".nv cure <Joubt a'l tjbest shilling quaItics ucre the fruits of a vital union with Christ. Her daily walk, her fervent prayers, and her faith in the promises of a covenant-keeping God, with his blessing upon her efforts, has ; placed a son, as a faithful and successful > minister of the Gospel, over a flourishing : Church, I It might be said of Mrs. Ladd, "She lookelh well to the ways of her housc{ hold, ;iiid cateth not the bread of idle: ness nor were her children suffered to | spend their time in idleness or frivolity. The very first indication of disrespect, or I rebellion against their father's authority, were con- I ?? no u t |;iu uvriiiit A , tinunlly reminded, that as he was their earthly parent, and benefactor, they were bound to obey, whenever they could consistently, for, being an intemperate man, ; his requisitions at times were neither reai sonablc, or even possible to be complied j with ; still they were dutiful and affectionate children, beloved and respected by all who knew them. Seven or eight of these childreu have hopefully passed from death unto life. One of the daughters has married a useful and pious man, li 11iug one of the highest and most lucrative offices in the county; and it is believed that "she will do him good and not evil all the days of her life ; yea, that her children will rise up and call her blessed." Is it not a sufficient encouragement to a - r mother, if, alter a lite ot prayer, 01 ion, and self-denial, she may but sec her children lilted for the service of her Sav iour, and for every duty incumbent upon them in any department of this life ? Why do not mothers, at the present day, possess the self-denial and energy of Roman and j Spartan mothers? They were willing to : endure any fatigue, and to sulTer any prij vution, that their sons, and their daughters ! might light the battles of their country. The tocsin is also sounded for us?let us prepare our sons and daughters to engage in a more noble contest, even to fight the battles of the Lord, contcnding^xigainst vice, not only in every untoward form, such as Sabbath-breaking, intemperauce, and profanity, but likewise against the more insidious evils of the heart, such as vani ?

Philip Keybold, one of our most enterprising farmers-rone to whom our community arc largely indebted for the impetus given to our agricultural improvements?viz: . On one field of 22 acres, he raised 2,21G bushels, about 100 3-4 bushed per acre. On another field, 30 acres, he raised 2,240 3-4 bushels, about 75 bushels per acre. On do. 27 acres he raised 1,810 bushels, about G7 bushels per acre. \ 79 acres?total crop 6,284 1-2 bushels? averaging for the whole crop of GO acres, near 80 bushels to the acre?and all this upon a soil that was not naturally as good as a greater part of the soil of this country ; and brought up within the Inst ten years, from nil extreme state of poverty. I have obtained from Muj. Iloybold, a statement oft lie mode adopted by him for the improvement of his land, as well as the cultivation of the crop of corn here referred to, which is as follows: Oil the field of 22 acres, about 7 years ago, lie put GO bushels of stone lime to the acre and planted it in corn, in the following spring he put it in oats, and /n the fall put on about 40 loads of barn yard manure to the acre, and sowed it in wheat and timothy seed, and in the ensuing spring with clover. It remained in grass until last spring, receiving an intermediate top dressing in 1833, of 40 loads of barnyard manure per acre. I Je mowed it for 3 or 4 successive years, and each year obtained from 2 1-2 to 3 tons of bay per acre. Last spring lie gave it another top dressing of 40 loads per acre of long manure, which was permitted to remain as long as possible m order to give me grass a chance of starting through it. lie then DO ploughed it up about ten inches deep, with a No. 5 cancave plough, which completely covered the manure; he theu gave it a stroke with the harrow along the course of the plough furrows, and then crossways, and struck it out very shoal, 3 1-2 feet from the centre to centre each way. After the corn came up, he harrowed it both ways with the fallow harrow, and from that, until the first, of July, he gave it-three dressings with the cultivator (fluke harrow) first crossing the plough tracks; in ten or twelve days the other way, being very careful not to disturb the manure by going too deep, with the cultivator. The plough was never used in the field alter planting, and the corn thinned so ' <r? i . i r_ us 10 jeavo o goou siock iu uie inn. >? nun the com become fit to top and blade lie cut it off by the ground and put it up in shocks. The Held of 30 acres?one half lie covered with oyster shell lime, 100 bushels to the acre, and 5 acres with marl, 12 loads to the aero, and previous to planting in corn, the whole field was covered with 40 loads of long manure per acre. The produce of the ground on which the lime and o marl were j>ut, was about equal, and exceeded that of the ground which had not the benefit of the lime and marl, about 12" to 15 bushels per acre as near as he could judge. The field was planted and tilled in the same way as the one described. In order to test the advantage of the cultivator over the plough, for tilling corn, ho had 5 furrows in this field that he lapped the furrow to, with a plough, previous to going over it the last time with the cultivator. lie"soon discovered that the growth of those five years fell short, in height, of those adjacent, and yielded one-full less corn. There is no doubt but this mode of tilling corn, especially where the soil ground is used, is, to plough deep, and to use nothing ; but the fallow and fluke harrow for its cultivation. By not disturbing the sod ploughed down, it remains there as a reservoir of moisture, and an exhilarating principle throughout the season, to the growth of the corn. . The third field of 27 acres was covered - ? J r .1 ? Wltn UDOUl ou loaus oi manure iu me ai.iv; in the spring of 1834, and 6 or 7 years ago, 60 bushels of stone lime, per acre, was put upon it. The planting and mode of cultivation was the same. I might here remark, that all the second, and a part of the third field, .were in com, the year before last. JAMES N. SUTTON. St. Georges, Delaware, March 5, 1836. Xotc.?The management which led to the extraordinary product of corn, should be deeply impressed upon the mind of every corn grower. 1, The ground was well dunged yvith long manure; *2, it was planted on a gross fry with one deep ploughing; 3, it was pulverized with the harrow; 4, the plough was not used in the after culture, nor the corm hilled, hut the cultivator only used; 5, the' 1 A -* b?1 tv-tnniiM) Iirn sou was noi uisiurocu, nor mcmauuit mined to the surface; and 6, the corn was cut at the ground, when it was fit to top. These are the points which we have repeatedly urged in treating of the culture of this crop; and their correctness is put beyond question! by this notable result. The value of lime and marl are well illustrated in the second experiment.?Conductor of the Cultivator. THE HOUSF. WIFE PRESERVING BETTER.' Believing that butter may be kept sweet and good, in our climate, almost any length of time, if properly manufactured, and weH taken care of, in order to test the validity of tliis opinion, we had two pots put down, one in June, and the othor in August, 1534, more than twenty months ago; and on probiug them with a fryer, while penning this article the butter is found perfectly sweety and seems to retain most ofthc original flavor and freshness. We design to send both pots to Boston next f ill, with a view of ha\ ing its mode ofmanufacturing, and method of preservation, judged by the butter tasters of that noble city. In the manufacturing process, no water is permitted to come in contact with the cream or butter?because it is bclivcd that wa'or, on'i p*i"""C"T'ar!v : 'vr>trr. diss'pntcjjr - m much of the finer flavor that gives4o butter its high value. . The Orange Couty dairy women say, "give us good hard water and we will make good butter," for the reason probably, that it abstracts less of the aroma from the butter than soft water. The temperature of the cream may be regulated by cold or hot water put into a tab. in which the churn may he plunged. If;the cream is clean it needs no washing; and if the butter is dirty; water will never clean it. Nothing but good well pulverised salt is vsed in preserving the butter; this is all mixes u^\und all dissolved, in the mass, before the butter has its second, thorough and final working with the butter ladle, and which is not finished till all the buttermilk is expelled. To avoid aH,taint from the butter vessels, and the better to exclude it from the air, which soon injures it, the butter is packed close in clean stone jars, and wiicn nearly tilled, is covered with a strong brine, rendered pure by previous boiling, skimming and settling. In twenty months this brine has been twice renewed, on the opppcarance of a film upon the surface of the old pickle. To preserve butter, air and water, and heat above 05 or 70 degrees are to l>e guarded against as much as possible. The brine upon the surface docs not penetrate the mass, nor while sweet, taint it, but it thoroughly excludes the air.? Cultivator. CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. Fit ida v, June 24,1830.

ANDREW JACKSON. Washington, 23d June, 1830. Department of State, Tfrashington, 23d June, 1836. To the President of the United Slates: The Secretary of State, to whom was referred a resolution of the Senate of the 18th instant, requesting the President "to communicate to the Senate any information in his possession not inconsistent, with the public interest touching the political condition of Texas?the organization of its Government. and its rapacity to maintain its independ encc; and, also, any correspondence which may have taken place between the Executive of the United States and the Gov. eminent of Tex as or its agents," has the honor to lay before the President the acrnmoanviru? conies of papers addressed to, " r ~ * n i > . . x and left at, the Department of State by persons claiming to be agents ot the Republic of Texas; being all the information and correspondence called for by the resolution.

JOHN FORSYTH. The message having been read, Mr. Clay rose, and said it did not appear to him to be necessary that a reference ! should be made of this message, as the Pre sident himself states that he deems it requisite that he shall have further information the Oil 111C SUUJtAii uciuiv nv ubibiiinuvu v. ? propriety of rocognizing the independence of Texas. The Committee on Foreign Relations in their report hadcertainlv thrown out no reflection on the President as having , been too tardy in his movements, but Iiad come to the conclusion that it would be proper to recognize the independence of Texas whenever it should be communicated that she had a Government able to sustain itself. As the President had signified a desire to wait for further information before he acts, there would probable lie no necessity to move to refer these papers to the Committee on Foreign Relations. lie moved to lay the message on the table, and print it. .Mr. Preston stated that the only fact necessary to be established was, that tlic war in Texas bad terminated; and that was proved by the documents accompanying the message. Jh would, however, concur in the motion of the Senator from Kentucky, merely reserving to himself the privilege to move further in the subject, if, on reflection, he should feel convinced that such course was advisable. The present inclination of his mind was to move to refer the resolution of the Committee on Foreign Relations back to that committee with instructions to report a resolution to recognize the independence of Texas. Mr. Clay said that if it should be considered by the Senator from South Carolina (or any other Senator) advisable to adopt such a resolution ;is he had suggested, he might do so when the resolution of the committee on Foreign Atfuirs came to be acted on, and that resolution was thesj>ecial order for yesterday. He did not concur in the opinion expressed by the Senator, that the sole fact to be regarded in acting on this subject was that of the termination of the war. There was also another fact, and it was that concerning which he presumed the President was now seeking information, and this was?whether there is, in fact, a government existing in full and successful operation, so as to justify the establishment of intercourse and relations of amity. Whenover the motion to lay the message on the table, and print it, was disposed he would move to make the resolution reported by the Committee on Foreign Relations the j special order for a day next week. The message was then laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. The following is the deposite bill as nncun/l hv thr? Spnnffi and sent to the I I? -V House.
