B7 E. JENNIE WARNER. Hover not t'lou, with thy sombre wing, O'er the beautiful buds of earth, Gather not thou what the angels bring, Blight not the flowers at birthChildhood hath roses that fade at thy touch, Voices that hush at thy breath ; Linger not, then,'mid the early flowers? Gather Ripe Fruit, oh Death! Visions are wreathing the brow of youth, With a deep, mysterious spell; Pulses are throbbing, whose joy and truth Have meanings too deep to tell? " " - ? -i.:n - Youth nam jouniains uiui uiiii <11 um iu<?.ni Gushings that freeze at thy breath; Linger not, then, 'mid the summer flowers? Gather Ripe Fruit,oh Death! Majesty resteth on Manhood's brow, The fever ot life and his heart, Hope hath enchained with eagerness now, Bid not her spirit depart? Manhood hath missions that yield to thy sway, Fires that are quenched at thy breath: Linger not, 'mid the blossoms of this day? Gather Ripe Fruit, oh Death! i^a dress hath crept o'er the dreams of age, Bitterness lies a this heart; Tempest and mildew have blotted life's page, Bid the worn spirit depart. Wings that are fettered will plume at thy call, Shadows will flee at thy breath: Cpme, then, in mercy, with sceptre and pall? Gather Ripe Fruit, oh Death! Peaceful resteth the crown of years On the Christian's hoary head ; Faith, in its fullness, has silenced his fears, The tumult of passton has fled. Holy the visions that over hitn roll, Prayer is the voice of his breath, Rend thou the temple that prisons his soul? . Gather Ripe Fruit, oh Death! THE HOME OF PEACE. We are apt to grow a wearyIn this troubled world at times For even golden bells can ring In melancholy chimes ; And let our human lot in life Be what or where it may, Dark shadows often rise, from which Our hearts would turn away. Full often do we sigh to taste Some spirit draught of joy, And almost envy cl ildhood's laugh Above its painted toy, When some great hope breaks under us, Or loved ones prove unjust, And roused from starry dreams, we find Our pillow in the dust. Say, whither shall we turn to seek, The healing balm of rfst, rAnd whence shall come the cheerful ray To re-illume our breast ? Oh let us eo and breathe our woe In Nature's kindly ear, For her soA hand will ever deign + To wipe the mourner's tear; She mocks not, tho' we tell our grief With voice all sad and faint, And seems the fondest while we pour Our weak and lonely plaint. Oh! let us take our sorrows To the bosom of the hills. And blend our pensivo ,nurmur8 ' With the p'r-' r ,:n?. -* .ftlt' ol ui?j i iu? | let us turn in weariness 1'oward the grassy way Where skylarks teach us how to praise, And ringdoves how to pray; And there the melodies of Peace, That float around the sad, Shall bring back hope and harmony With the voice of God. Manuring Corn.?II. Jones Brooke commumicates to the Journal an experiment in apply ing manure, or "poudrette," which costs 30 con: 8 per bushel, to a patch of corn planted in a piece of poor soil. He put about a gill in a lull, dro] p d the corn thereon, and found the following result < in the harves : On the first four rows matured corn; on the first four, without manure, 14 baskets of inferior corn; on the third four rows, manured,! 9; on the next four rows not manured, ; 14 basket of same Quality as before, and so throughout, which shows the great advantage of manuring corn in the hill. THE MECHANIC'S HOME. One evening, in the early part of the winter, i the door?bell rang with energy, and the servant j announced a man who wished to see inc. "A | man," is one thing, with a servant a "gentleman," | another a "person," something different from j either. The man stood in the hall, but I won- j dered why he had riot been tailed a gentleman. I was puzzled where to place him myself. His | dress was very neat, but plain, and rather coarse, i His linen, that badge of refinement, was white, j in perfect order, and almost elegant. Every J thing about him seemed substantial; but nothing 1 gave a clue to his position in life. In all outward seeming he was a simple man. When lie! spoke to me, his address was simple, clear, direct, and with a certain air of self-reliance, the fur the;t possible iroin a vulgar uiusier. "Doctor," said lie, "I wish you would go and see my child. We t'.ar he is threatened with j the croup." The case, which he described as we went along, was a pretty clear one, and I hurried my j walk still more, and in a few moments we were at the door. We went up, up, to the fourth story-. The last flight of stairs was carpeted, ! and a small lamp at the top lighted us up. An I excellent and very durable kind of mat lay at I the door. You will see, in time why I give ; these little particulars. I entered the open door, and was welcomed j by a rather pretty and remarkably tidy woman i who could have been no body in the world but the wife of the man who had summoned me. "I am glad you have coine so soon," she said, in a soft pure accent. "Little William seems J* 1 .1 . I 1 1 .1 .1,? so aisiresseu ukii mo can nanny oreain, ?wju luu > next moment a? we passed through a narrow , passage where he lay, f heard the unmistakable | croupy sound, that justly carries such terror to the parent's heart. "Is it the croup, Doctor?" asked the father, with a voice of emotion, as I bent over the child, a tine boy, three years of age. "It is certainly the croup," I said, "and a pretty violent attack. IIow long is ii since you thought him sick?" "Not above an hour," was the calm reply. It was made calm by a firm self-control. I looked at the mother. She was very pale, but did not trust herself to speak." Then there is probably but little danger," I said; "but we have something to do. Have you water here?" The husband wont to what scorned a closet, opened two doors, and disclosed a neat pine bathing tub, supplied with the Croton. This was Ix-youd my hopes; but I had no time to wonder. The little fellow was in a high fever, and tailoring for every breath. Taking him from his little crib, where lie lay upon a nice hair mattress, fit for a Prince to sleep on, I took ofi'his clean night clothes, stood him in the bath-tub, and made his father pour full ujion bis neck and chest three pails of cold water, whilel rubbed thcui briskly with my hand, lie was then wiped dry, and rubbed until his whole body was glowing like a Haine. Then 1 wrung a large towel out of cold water and nut. it round his throat, and then wrapped him up in blankets. The brave little fellow had borne it all w'ulu-ut a complaint, as if ho understood that under his father's eye no harm could c-ine to h ni. In tifieen minutes after he was wrapped in the blankets he was in a profnsc perspiration, in a sound slumber breathing freely. "The danger was over?so rapidly is this disease curt d.? llappiuess had shed a serene light upon the countenance of the father, and thrown over the mother's face a glow of beauty. I looked upon them and was more than ever puzzled where to place tl em. There were no marks ofhigh birth or superior breeding?not a shadow of decayed gentility about them. It was rather the reverse, as if they were working up from a low rank of life to a higher. I looked around the room. It was the bedroom. Every thing in it was perfectly neat and orderly, the bed, like the crib, was excellent but not costly. The white counterpane did not co.>t more than ten shillings?yet how beautiful it looked! The'white window curtains were shilling muslin: but their folds hum? as riehlv as if tlioy were damask?and how verv appropriate they seemed! The hath, with its snug folding doors, I knew, had not cost plumber's bill and all, more than ten dollar.*. The toilet table, of an elegant form, and completely covered, 1 had no doubt, was of pine, and cost half a dollar.? The pictures on the wall were beautiful tinted lithographs?better, far better than oil paintings 1 have seen in the houses of millionaires: vet, i they can be bought at Goupil's or or Stevens', for three to five shiilii- ^ an<j a dollar apiece had framed them, The floor hi.' a carpet that malcl";,| ^ fry thing, with its small, neat ^"are. rmii a light chamber color. It was a jewel of a room, in as perfect keeping, in all its parts, :is if an artist had designed it. Leaving this little boy to his untroubled sleep, and giving directions for a batli on his waking we went into the other room, which was differently, but just jis neatly arranged. It might have answered for a parlor, (only it had a cooking-stove,) for an artist's study, or a dining-room. It was hung with pictures?heads, historical pieces, and landseajies; all such a man of taste could select and buy cheap; but which, like good books, are invaluable. And speaking of books, there was a hanging library on one side of the chimney, which a single glance assured me contained the choicest treasures of the English tongue. The man went to a bureau, opened a drawer, and took out some money. "What is your fee, Doctor?" he asked, holding the bills so as to select one to pay me. Now, 1 have inadc up my mind, before I had got half-way up stairs, that I might have to wait for my pay?perhajw never get it; but all this had changed. I could not. as I often do, i quire into the circumstanc e of the man, and graduate my price accordingly. There he stood, ready to pay me, with money enough; yet it was evident that lie was a working man, and far from wealthy. I had nothing left hut to name the lowest fee. 1 " One dollar does not seem enough," said he, 1 " You have saved the child's life, and have been t at more trouble than to merely write a prescription.7' ( " Do you work for a living ?" I asked, hoping ] to solve the mystery. lie smiled and held out his hand, which f showed the unquestionable marks of honest toil. < " You are a mechanic 2" 1 said, willing to know ' more of him. ? M Take that," lie said, placing a two dollar 1 note in my hand, with a not-to-be-refused air, i "and I will gratify your curiosity; for there is f no use in pretending that you arc not a little t curious." |? There was a hearty, respectful freedom about j this that was irresistible. I put the note in my J pocket, and the man going to a door, opened it 1 into a closet of modern size,, and displayed the 1 bench and tools of a shoemaker. 1 " You must be an extraordinary workman," i said I, looking around the room, which seemed i 1 almost luxurious; but when 1 looked at each 1 item I found that it cost vorv little. 1 "No, nothing extra," said lie, "I barely man- i age to earn a little over a dollar a day. Mary 1 lielj)s me some. With the housework to do, t and our bov to look alter, she earns enough to '< make our wages average eight dollars a week.? ? YYc began with nothing?we live as you see." 1 All this comfort, this respectability, this al- i most luxury for eight dollars a week! I ex- i pressed my surprise. " I should be very sorry if ' we spent so inucn, said lie. \\ e have not, * only managed to live on that, but we have sonic- thing laid up in the Saving's Bank. " Will you have the goodness," said I " to t explain to nic how you do it?" 1 " With pleasure," lie replied: " for you may c persuade others, no better off than I am, to j make the best of their situation. My name is 1 William Carter. My father died when I was f young, and I was bound out an apprentice to a i shoemaker, with usual provisions of schooling. I did as well as boys do generally at school as I \ was very fond of reading, I made the most of 4 my spare time and the advantages of the AP- ? prentices' Library. Probably the books that r helped me most were the sensible writings of t Win. Cobbett. Following his example, I deter 1 mined to give myself a useful education, and I c have to some extent succeeded. But man's education is a life long process ; and the more I learn, the more 1 see before nie. " I was hardly out of my time when I fell in love with my Mary there, whom s<?me people ^ think very pretty, but whom I know to be very T ; Mary looked up with such a bright, loving j smile, as to fully justify some people in their notions. ' ' When I had been one year a journeyman, , . . ii *i r ... i n ... /r _ t i... r. .a - Cl juiu jaiu up a jcw uonurs ^iur i uauasirong motive to be saving,) we were married. I boarded c at her father's end she bound shoes for the shop 1 where I worked. Wc lived a few weeks at home, c but it was not our home?so we determined to * set up housekeeping. It was rather a small set up but we made it answer. I spent a week in a house-hunting. Some were too dear, some too ^ shabby. At last I found this place. It was new and clean, high and airy, and 1 thought it would j do. I got it fortiftv dollars a year?and though . " 1 11 the rents all round advanced, our landlord issatistied with that, or takes it in preference to risk- r ing a worse tenant. The place was naked enough * and we had little to put in it save ourselves; a hut wc went cheerfully to work, earned all we J! could, and saved all we could?and you sec the result." ? " I sec ; but I confess I do not understand it,,' said I, willing to hear him explain the ecouomies 0 of this modest and beautiful home. " Well it is simple enough. When Mary and 0 I moved ourselves here and took possession, with a table, two chairs, a cooking stove, a saucepan 1 or two, and a cot-bed with a straw matrsiss, the n ... , . , /. !'i nrst tiring we cti<i was to noia a council oi war . Now, Alary, my love, said I, here we are. We have next to nothing, and we have everything to '' get, and nobody but ourselves to help ourselves. " We found that we could earn on an average, eight dallars a week. We determined to live s: as cheaply as possible, save all we could, and s make us a home. Our rent was one dollar a a week?our fuel, light, water rent, and some little 1 matters a dollar more. We have allowed the 1 same amount to our clothing, and buying the 1 best things, and keeping them carefully, we '? dressed well enough for that Even my wife is 11 satisfied with the wardrobe, and finds that raw j' silk at six shillings a yard is cheaper, in the 4< long run, than calico at one shilling. That 11 makes three dollars a week, and had still our n living to pay for. That cost us, with three in family, just one dollar more." c 44 One dollar apiece ?" T 44 No?one dollar for all. You seem surpri sed; but wc have reckoned it over and over. It c cost more at first, but now we have learned to c live both 1 etter and cheaper?so that we have a 1 clear surplus of four dollars a week, after paying all expenses of rent, lire, light, water, clothing anil food, and occasionally giving a party. c I know a smile came over mv face, for he con- < tinned: c " Yes, {jive a party ; and we have sonic plea- \ sant ones, I assure you. Sonn times we have a doz- t en guests, which is quite enough for comfort, and t our treat of chocolate, cakes, blancmange, etc., costs as much as two dollars; but this is not 5 very often. Out of our surplus, which comes, i you see, to two hundred dollars a year?we have ' bought all you see, and have money in the | bank." i " I sec it all," said I, " all but the living. 1 Many a mechanic spends more than that for ci- I gars, to say nothing of litjuor. Pray tell me pre- i ciscly how you live." 1 " With pleasure. First of all, then I smoke < no cigars aud chew no tobacoo, and Mary takes 1 no snufi." i Here the pleasant smile came in, hut there ivas no interruption; for Mary seemed to think ( ler husband knew what he was about, and could s ;cll very well without her aid. < " But what do you cat and drink ?" I asked, j < jurious to see how far this self-taught philoso- t phcr had progressed in the laws of health. 1 " Come this way; and I will show you," lie t aid ; taking a light and leading the way into a lapacious store-r. om. " Here, first of all is a c nill, which cost me twelve shillings. It grinds j f ill my grain; gives me the freshest and most 1 beautiful meal, and saves tolls and profits. This t s a barrel of wheat. I buy the best, and am < aire tVat it is clean and good. It costs less t ban three cents a pound, and a pound of wheat i v day, you know, is food enough for any man. 1 We make into bread, mush, pies and cakes. 1 Here is a barrel of potatoes. This is hominy, i Here are some beans, a box of tapioca macaroni, c [Icre is a barrel of apples, the best I ean find in t Fulton market. Ilere is a box of sugar, and this 1 s our butter jar. We take a quart of country ? nilk a day. I buy the rest down town, by the r !? 1 1 ...1 T i .U- ?i JUA ui uuiit-j, ?uercx Utiu yet uie ? Making wheat?eaten as mush or bread, and all J made coarse, without bolting?and potatoes, i lomiuy, or rice, the staple, you can easily see c hat a dollar a week for provisions is not only t nnple, but allows of a healthy and even luxuii- s ms variety, For the rest we eat greens, vegcta- z des, fruit and berries in their season. Inthcsum- r nor we have strawberries and peaches, as soon i us they are ripe and good. Mary will get up i i dinner from these materials at a cost of a r .hilling, better than the whole bill of fare at the > istor." I was satisfied. Here was comfort, intelligence, ;astc and modem luxury, all enjoyed by an hum- r >le mechanic, who knew how to live at the ^ 50s11 have mentioned, llow much useless com- : daining might be saved?how much genuine 3 lnppmess be enjoyed?how much evil andsuf- f ( ring might be prevented, if all the working men 1 n New York were as Wm.

Under f he action of the nervous system, the motions of s ho heart, and subsequently the general quick- r iess of the course of the blood are quickened or * etardeil. All irritants and stimulants urge and j ircc to a more vehement, and, consequently a j lore rapid outlay of tho strength or capacity ( jr exertion; and it is au invariable law of or ( anization, that outlay is succeeded by depres- , ion, and whatever duly degresses, whether re- { n cfimnlnnf fl ntUVtdltV Hiking u. ijj.ua.ij ?, ? , y sedative, or any other powerful principle, lias p he effect'of lessening improperly the action of t he heart and arteries ; and it is on this account hat neither intoxicating drinks, nor tobacco, nor j ny thing else producing an effect which issues i depression, can be recommended for the pro- < notion of health and longevity. I would theronre strongly recommend abstinence from the ise of tobacco in all or any of its forms; not I nly on the ground of its rendering the teeth r insightly and the breath disagreeable, but bea use it is clear to a demonstration, that it fi- v tally depresses the natural powers. Its use f veil in the forms of snuff and errhines is very t ibjectionahle; the membrane ol the nose be- 1 omes thickened, its sensibility impaired, and the 3 tower of discriminating odors greatly lessened. s Raisino Cai.ves?A New Method.?While 1 m a short visit lo the farm of Mr. L).

Unwholesome Contagion.?The following !\tract from hii article in the New York Tribune lets forth in pretty strong colors the influence )f Congressional extravagance and prodigality >n the man who leaves his home with the idea hat eight dollars a day is line" wages. Though lighiy colored, there is a great deal of truth in he paragraph: "The Congressman has bawled himself hoarse >n the stump in behalf of 'retrenchment and re01 mbut he reaches Washington, and sees miliums going this way, and other miliious that, at lie dash of the pen ; and bis eight dollars per lay, which looked so inviting in the prospect, Iwindle, in full view of these dazzling realities, uto a pittance which he would be ashamed to ;eep his dog on. So he begins by overcharging lis mileage by some magnificent circumbendibus; lext votes himself a cart load of books, which he >ften sells at a ruinous shave, (but he pockets .he proceeds and Uncle Sam the loss:) and now le is ready for jobbing in contracts, in claims, unl dabbles in all manner of miscellaneous coruption, whereby the expenditures are swelled, md the treasury depleted. So up go the appropriations to an enormous figure, but nobody s to blame. Party hacks try to make party apital out of it, and pot applies unseemly epihets to kettle: new demagogues contrive to upplant some of the old ones, and fall to reali:ing JE^op's fable of the fox and the flies; so lothing of this 'withering expose' and that trcnendous castigation, but infinite coufasion, vrangling, and empty noise; at all events no etrenchment, but rather increased extravagance, vastc and speculation. Anxe Boley.y.?Henry the Eighth was maricd to Anne Boloyn on the 25th of February, 1533, in a garret at the western end of the palice at Whitehall. She is described as a fair roung creature; so exquisitely moulded in form ind feature that she enslaved the eyes and unlerstandings of all she encountered ; and such is he interest with which her memory is still invested, that numbers daily visit her chamber at lever Castle, near Edinbridge, in Kent, Engand, and eagerly listen to the romantic traditions which point out the hill where Henry used o sound his bugle, when he came to visit her, in heir happy days of courtship, from his palace at iltham; and the exact spot in the garden, where, it the turn of the walk, she suddenly came upon he king, who was so struck with her wondrous )cauty, with confusion wrought by so unexpeced a meeting greatly augmented, that from that noment lie was inspired with the fatal passion vhich raised its ufortunate object to the throne, mt to transfer her to the block. The axe with vhich the little neck of the cruelly-sacrificed [uoen was served, is still preserved m tn? lower, ind shares, with her grave in the chapel, the nelancnoly interest which for more than three lundred years has been associated with her mine. It is said that, during the night which allowed her execution, her body was secretly renoved from its grave before the altar in the Tower Chapel, and buried in the church of Salle n Norfolk, where a black marble slab is shown is covering of her remains, Tiie British Army for 1852?'53.?The nilitaiy force of Great Britain will comprehend , regular army of 101,937 men, exclusive of the egimcnts employed in the East Indies and naintained at the Company's expense. When re examine into the distribution of this very onsiderable force we find that about 38,000 neu are on foreign service, exclusive of the troops n India, so that some 52,000 remain for home luty in Great Britain ; and as officers and nonommissioned officers usually average about 13 >er cent, on the strength of a corps, we may onsider the military force in these islands as omethinglike 00,000 strong. Altogether, there:? l,?lf r,r TOTO noqrlc SO ofnur hind force is I'l I.", V./IIC UUU, Vt ?

When we add to 0 these numbers a constabulary of 12,000 in rcland, admirably equipped and disciplined, 6,>00 marines serving on shore, a certain proporion of artillery, and 50,000 pensioners, not to nention the coast-guard and the dockyard batallions, it will be thought, perhaps, that we make 1 respectable parade, especially if one soldier, by ffoctive arras and judicious practice, is hereafter o be made as good as two. The charge for the land forces is of course, ncrcased in proportion to its numbers, ?3,602,>67 being the sum asked in place of ?3.521,>70 demanded last year. Abbott relates a capital anecdote of Napoleon. Ic states that, when a commander of the Gorncnt forces in paris, after the Revolution, Napoeon one day encountered a mob led off by a fish roman, whose rotundity was prodigious. The atty exhorted the mob our young General was rying to disperse, to hold their ground. "Never nind, said she, glaucing at Napoleon and his taff, "these c >xcombs with epaulettes on their boulders, they care not if wo poor people starve f they can but feed well and grow fat. Napoeon, who was at that period of his life as the neargre as a shadow, turned to tho oratrix and aid: ".Look at me, my good woman, and ull ? ^t ,,a U the fat.ter?" The Ama lie n uieu ui iu vn? :on was completely disconcerted by this reparce, and after being well laughed at by her companions departed, and the crowd dispersed.
