Thy name, oh how dear, It brings a sweet sadness, A smile and a tear: And thoughts of thee ever With memory's tide Come brightly, as wave-like They fast by me glide. The hours of my boyhood Have taded away, Like stars when they vanish At the breaking of day : Those mo nents so tranquil T-i i a., J rurever nave iieu, And loved ones are sleeping Alas, with the dead ! The hours of my boyhood Are vanished away; They glitter as dew-drops, As brief was their stay. 1 think of ihe village, The church and the 6tream, And faces flit by me Like shapes in a dream, ?? The fame that a man wins for himself is best; That he may call his own ; honors put on him Make him no more a man than his clothes do, Which are as 60on ta'en off; for in the warmth The heat come6 from the body not the weeds; So man's true fame ruust strike from his own deeds. Middleton. Tlie Educated Politician. Education is the theme upon which orators, priests and politicians arc wont to enlarge, and taking Curran's advice, when, they can think of nothing, else to say, they 'soar,' and the pinions that l>ear them up, or rather the theme upon which they found their flights of limey, is 'Education:' 'To educate a people is to give eternity to their freedom,' says the politician; "tis education forms the common mind,' says the pedagogue; 'educate, educate, educate,' says the orator; 'education is the hand-maid of Christianity,' says the clergyman, so it will at once be perceived, that in whatever else people may differ, they all agree as to the importance of education. Some seem to suppose that education will make up for a lack of common sense, and the less they happen to have of the latter commodity, the more pains is taken oftentimes, to avail themselves of the former. When education (we take the common acceptation of the term, which simply means, staying some four years inside a college,) is combined with real mother-wit, its jmssessor is very sure to reap great advantages from it; but without this, he seems shorn of his strength, and, like Sampson of old, can easily be overcome, even by a Philistine. As an illustration of this idea, we hoard of a little incident that occurred recently 'Out Wctt' j during a political canvass: Esquire B. was a man, who thought his position iu society, his good name, and more than all else, his liberal education, entitled him to a place in the atfictions of the people, and so, 1 after a good deal of managing, lie succeeding in getting the nominatiou to the House of llepre- ; sentatives, from the party to which he belonged. . Nominations are not elections in these days, , but Esq. B. thought himself safe enough, as his party had a large majority in the borough and every thing seemed to promise him an easy vie- . tory; besides, his antogouist, if not absolutely ( illiterate, at least had niver been inside the walls ( of a college, no, not even to an academy. What then had he to fear? Nothing. The day of election finally came; and both of ] the candidates were expected to make speeches, ( defining their positions, explaining their own ^ views of Dublic nolicv. and mvstifvinor their an i i J ? # ^ j n tagonists as much us possible. It need hardly , be said, that Esq B longed fur the hour to arrive when, after having showed his great superiority , over Farmer A. the people would by acclama- , tion elect him to the place of distinction, which he so much coveted. The wished for hour arrived, and, Esq. B. and j Farmer A. luuiiuted the rostrum. It was agreed , that Esq. B. should speak first; so politely bow ing to the large concourse, he commenced. 'Friends and Fellow-citizens!' aud so proceeded in ; the usual manner of political speech making.? ( lie soon came to define his position, and commenced with the 'The Tariff gentlemen?' It is no such thing,' said Fanner A. , The Tariff of forty-six? Not half on't; roared out the Farmer. The Tariff of forty-six is a measure which? It's nothing but a tariff, sir, there is 110 measure about it, sir, it is a scandal to our forefathers, sir, to call it nick-name, said the farmer, getting ?fi nv/vitr/1 latuui VAV-IWVVI. Esq. li. was getting rather excited too, and with a look of defiance, he addressed the farmer with peculiar emphasis. Am I thus to be interrupted; Do you sj>eak to me, sir! Yes, sir. Well sir, I shall correct you sir; whenever I think proper, sir. Do you know who you are talking to? I reckon I do. Well, do you know that I have been to two i universities? What of that! Why I cannot be interrupted by such a ninny as you sir, it is unbearable. / vl- 1 I.*.-? ???/-* uniimfoiliAfl havo WD, J'UU m;uu vy iinu uunuoiuv'! u?<v you! Yes. i Well what of that? I had a calf once that sucked two cows, and the observation I made was, the more he sucked the greater tho calf he grew. It is almost unnecessary to add, that the Esq. seized his hat and rushed from the stand amid the shouts of the by-standers, and \vc fear, an o]>ponetit of popular elections. The polls were soon opened, the election proceeded, the ballots were counted, and Farmer A. was declared the representative elect. We hope he will make as good a hand at legislating as he was at repartee. A Quekr Way ok Settt.ino a Dispute.? A late San Francisco paper has the following account of a cool proceeding in that city, which very forcible illustrates life in California: "A party of four persons were spending the Sunday quietly in playing all fours. One of the parties, however, not content with the chances of the game and determined to chain the fickle goddess to his side, established a kind of telegraph with his partner by laying his hand carelessly 011 the table after eacli deal, and extending his fingers, designating very intelligibly the number of trumps he held. The device was ingenious and highly successful for a while, but was unfortunately discovered by one of his opponents, who on a repetiton of the offence^ very dexterously whipped out a bowie-knife, and cut off two fingers! The unfortunate kombre screamed with pain, and having picked up his stumps, rushed from the room. His partner inquired of the amateur surgeon what his reasons were for such conduct, when he quietly replied, "it was fortunate for your friend that he had no more trumps, or he would certainly have walked off with fewer fin gers." Cool, that. Remarkable Prophecy.?The following prediction of St. Ciesario, Bishop of Aries, in the year 542, may not be considered void of interest at the present moment. It is taken from a a book entitled "Liber Mar alibis" printed in Gothic characters, and deposited in the Royal Library, Paris: " The administration of the kingdom (France,) will be so blended, that they will leave it without defenders. The hand of God shall extend itself over them, and over all rich; and the nobles shall be deprived of their estates and dignity; a division shall shall spring up in the church of God, and there shall be two husbands, the. one true, and the other adulterous. The legitimate husband shall be put to flight; there shall be a great carnage, and as great a profusion of blood as in | the day of the Gentiles. The universal church and the whole world shall deplore the ruin and destruction of a most celebrated city, the capital and mistress of France. The altars of the temple shall be destroyed; the holy virgins outraged, shall fly from their seats, and the whole church shall be stripped of her temporal gods; but at length the black eagle and the lion shall appear hovering from far countries. Misery to thee, 0, city of phylosophy! thoushalt be subjected! A captive, humbled even to confusion, shall at last receive his crown, and destroy the children of Brutus." The Bite of a Drunkard.?The Baltimore Clipper pays that Mr. Hiram Wilcox, of Dayton, Ohio, iu assisting, about two weeks ago, to take a tliunken loafer to jail, was bit by him on one of his tingors. He paid little attention to it, until a few days subsequent it became swollen and painful, with every appearance of erysipelas.? The ord nary remedies iu such cases were applied, but the infiamation spread rapidly from the hand to the arm, and dually to the body, growing worse and, worse until mortification put an end t j his life. ^ A somewhat singular lumar phenomenon was visible in this latitude between eight and nine D'clock on Tuesday night, which I do not seo noticed in the papers. It was observed by many with considerable wonder. At no great distance from the moon, seemingly t/i t hp nuked eve. about two hundred vards Oil J J-i ; j each side of her queeu-like majesty, appeared two luminous bodies, resembliug large nebulae or nucleus of comets. From these were emitted the trails of light, forming a partial circle, like unto a rainbow, embraiceing, apparently, twothirds the dome of the starry firmament. This strange appearance continued for some 20 minutes, gradually growing brighter and then disappearing by degrees until lost in the azure stargemmcd vault. I was fortunate enough to be out at the time, and had, with many others, a full view of it. Some of the unlettered and unphilosophical were quite amazed; and I could hear them express the belief, that it was ominous of approaching calamity. The sky, at the time, was overciist with thin vapor, and the moon's borrowed light reflected upon this under the peculiar cicumstanccs, no doubt caused the phenomenon, which was nothing more than an unI,*!,nil, munrnitinpiit. luinar hmv or circle, such as I have never before seen equalled in brilliancy or beauty.?National Intelligencer. An hour in the morning is worth two in the afternoon. All things are soon prepared in a well-ordered house. However little we may have to do, let us do that little well. Fair dealing is the bond and cement of society. Pleasure is precarious, but virtue is immortal. Money is a useful sen-ant but a tyrannical master. It is easier to suppress the first desire, than to satisfy all that follow it. That virtue which parleys is near a surrender. Use your wit as a buckler and not a sword. Evil men speak as they wish rather than what thev know. He that would enjoy the fruit must not gather the flower. Never open the door to a little vice lest a great one should enter also. Act uprightly and fearlessly, as you would defy the devil and all his work.-". Experiment with Corn?Deep Plow- ! Ing and Green Crops. The gronud upon which the experiment was made, was as near alike, and prepared as near , alike as could be. The corn was planted the 4th ; . of May, thn# by five feet. That which was | ] plowed, was plowed the wide way only. Four j < rows were plowed exclusively with the coulter, i < 1 t :~i . .? :_~i? .]?_ m I , IIUJI1 ClgUL KJ LCII 11IUI1CS X lv?TJ??g I ed tour times at suitable intervals. The next 4 ; rows were cultivated exclusively with the hoe.? The balance was plowed sis usual here, first throwing the earth from and then to the corn, and plowing four times. All was kept clean throughout the season. The rows of that eulti; vatcd as usual, when gathered, weighed 42 lbs. The next weight 43 3-4 lbs. The two others of hoed corn weighed 43 lbs. Two rows of coultered com, side by side with the preceding, and having the same number of hills and ears of corn weighed 43 3-4 lbs. The hoed com was nearly prostrated by the wind and rain. I had to set up the greater part of it just before and just after it tassel led. The coultercd corn suffered hardly half so much as the hoed. The residue suffered comparatively little. These are the facts. Deductions for you and your readers. The quantity raised on the ground is of no consequence. I conducted various other experiments with com, but do not deem them of sufficient interest to burden your columns, nor bore your readers with their. These little things arc interesting to me, however, and I always have some such under headway. I book-farmed that famous bottom#! sjioke I to you about, and made a tair crop 01 corn, i^asi t I year, it took sixty of the largest ears to shell a r bushel; this year forty eight do it. This book T farming makes me the subject of great ridicule jj and merriment. For instance, last spring you advised us to plow deep and pulverize well. I t did so and was laughed at therefor. You ad- 0 vised sowing broadcast. I sowed something jt like four acre^ This threw a great many dia- j, phragms into convulsions, and the cachinations r( were rife and boisterous thereat. i< So well am I pleased however, that I shall n give them an opportunity to split the larynx b outright another year. The fodder produced jy was enormous, besides a pretty considerable d sprinkling of cant. You apprised us that it might be well to sow rye for early grazing, soiling, Jkc., the next spring, and I have done so. It j, is too green to laugh at now. You instructed us j. to sow twelve quarts of timothy seed per acre. I did it. And if they do laugh at that it is mighty h green. [Fearing that some of our readers may not understand the. full meaning of the word si "green," as here used by our correspondent, we fc explain that the timothy and rye sown by him, 1 agreeably to our directions, have already cover- g ed the land with a thick green herbage, and give a promise of uncommonly Large crops of hay and c grain?Eds.] To renovate land, you inculcate turning in ft green crops, tcapsized all my clover?mastica- t tore displayed themselves, of great length and o breadth. Of all the green things, the wheat on J that clover land is the greenest; and rather too \\ green to laugh at.

Advertiser, relative to the virtue of vaccina- n tion, is interesting. There is a large amount of ^ smaU-pox prevailing m the various ? j at the w present time?List week over twenty deaths from 01 this disease occurred in Philadelphia?and many persons have a prejudice against vaccination, which appears to be the o dy effectual remedy "< against the violence of the disease:?Carolinian. P "On the 4th of November, 1851,1 was called to visit a patient in ray practice, labjring under se the disease of varioloid or modified small pox. At H the same time there was a boy about five or six m years of age residing in the family, attending a a school. His parents, as soon as they ascertained n< that small pox had broken out in the house, im- oi mediately took the boy home with them, and he di having never been vaccinated, I immediately at- li: tended to it, leaving directions that if the boy ri was taken sick, I should be immediately sent for, of (this was on the 10th inst.) On the 15th I was y? sent for. and found him laboring under symp- d< toms similar to the premonitory sypmtoms of gi smallpox. Not being certain however, but con- tl fident if the infection of variola had not already w been introduced into the system, that vaccine virus had, I directed that he should be carried back to his grand-parents, and put into the room ~ with his aunt, (the small pox patient,) where they ate, drank and slept together about four weeks, a neither of them leaving the room during that s< time. The seemingly premonitory symptoms of 3 variola or small pox proved to be nothing more P, than a foul stomach, which passed on as soon as v" the stomach was cleansed., It was the filth day ^ from the time that the boy was vaccinated that P he was placed in the room, there exposed to the condensed infectious air of small pox. Yet notwithstanding the immediate and constant con- k tact with the infection of small pox, the vaccine n virus triumphed: not being in the Feast impeded 0 or interrupted in its progress by the presence of b that disease, which but half a century ago, was ^ the terror of the whole habitable world. Yet * ' who would believe that we have still some among v us who look upon the profession as seekers of c pelf, more than the good of their fellow men; in- a steadj of raising their hands and lifting up their hearts, full of gratitude and praise to the Giver t] of all good for this inestimable blessing and powerful antidote for so direful a disease." p _ t!

Winter Fashions. A number of new head-dresses, adapted to the jvening parties of the present season, have just appeared. They are made chiefly of ribbon, lace and flowers, either singly or in combination.... ... . j some oi tne no Don neaa-uresscs are composed jf a mixture of figured ribbon and of ribbon troche with gold. Among the new wreaths we nay mention some formed of the wild rose, the rolubilis, or of any flower of medium size. These .vreaths encircle the head, and have on each side :hree drooping sprays. A boquet. of the same lowers employed to ornament the jupe of the Iress has also three pendant spray3. The cactus nay be employed with advantage as an ornancnt for the hair. For dark hsir nothing can xj more effective than a wreath of cactus, varyng in color from rose to ponceau, and intermingled with narrow pendant foliage. One of the lewest wreaths we have seen consists of double :oqueligots of the natural color, intermingled vith foliage of black velvet and jet. This wreath lad no pend;uit sprays. For full evening cosume the coifl'ure of feathers, or feathers and lace appets, is as fashionable as ever. Among the v nost elegant mourning head-dresses, we may nention some formed of a half-handkerchief or anchon of black lace, the corners rounded ahd lisposod, one towards the back of the head and he others hanging down as lappets. The trimning on each side may be velvet flowers or bee, ntcriningled with various ornaments of jet; for nstance. licht foliarre or liners of iet. the latter > a . V' P CT o - y f inked in the form of a chain, drooping low at ho ear?. A suitable nead-dresss for slight nourning may be formed of a long barbe of .'hite lace, fastened by two boquets of white and lac (lowers. Some evening dresses have been made with wo jupes, each of a different material from the ther. One of these dresses consists of an upper ipe ofbroche silk green sprigged with roses.? t is gathered up on each side by ,a boquct of 3ses, with vClvet foliage, and displays beneath ; an under jupc or petticoat of white satin, trimled with a deep flounce of Alcncon lade. A oquet of roses ornaments the front of the corige. The sleeves are short and trimmed with ouble pagedas of Aiencon lace, looped' up by mall boquets of rose?. The following is a description of a dress, havlg a vest or jacket of the same material. The ^ icket may be worn or not, according as it is fished to adapt the dress to neglige or full evenlg costume. The dress consists of pearl gray itin, figured with boquets of flowers in white ilk. The corsage is low with a deep berthe jrmed of guipure fringe on White and grey silk.- ? 'he jacket, which is worn open in front, has pa;oda sleeves, reaching just between the elbow, nd is trimmed with guipure fringe, like that ornpoxing the berthe. Tulle is, this season, a very favorite material jr ball drosses, ror many sryies ox inmming ullo is better adapted than any other texture, wing to its superior lightness and transparency, lany dresses of plain tulle have been trimmed rith live flounces, scalloped, and edged with ilk. Some of the newest ball dresses have gold or ilver intermiugled with the trimming. A dress f cerulean blue tulle has been trimmed with ounces, edged with a rvery light agreement in Ivcr, surrounded by three rows of very narrow Iver bi'aid. The front of the corsage, a la Louis uinze, is trimmed with narrow frills of tulle, .Igod with defitelle d'argent. The berthe is oramented with a double row of dentolle d'argent. lowers not according to this style of dress, the riffures adopted ought to be feathers, or some rnainent of jewelry.

The roposed law to that end is denounced as audaous, unscrupulous, and fanatical, and calcula1 . * -1 a\ xl J- Aa,m ?ci to reiara, ratner man advance, even me iemeranee principle, which it professes to encourage. Most significant of all, however, the remonrants assure the Legislature that they are soininly convinced "that 6u'ch a despotic and unnsonable law could not be enforced in the city f New York, except amid scenes of riot and loodshed, in which, tho' its reckless advocates -oulcT bo the first and chief sufferers, v;ist multitides of the populace would be involved, and rould be too frightful in their results for any but allous fanatics to contemplate without horror nd dismay." The Cincinnati Gazette says a young lody of bat city, step-daughter of a well-known merhant tailor on Main Street, has just received the ainful information that a relative in England has iken leave of all sublunary things,?and left her legacy of $600,000.
