(J ?(1, Walking. IK The following extracts from a chapter on Cl Walking, may amuse some of our friends, and rn at the same time convey a lesson to the rising geneiatiou. At a time, like the present, when {*'' the side-walks of the town are pretty clear of | obstructions, in the way of customers to the ai 6tores or visitors to the town, a fair field for exhibition may be afforded to all who chose to ey practice the fashionable steps. Here follows a ai description of them: "( "The tip toes: so called from the pretty artifice of mincing on the toes, with a step indicative of this earth being too impure to receive the " impress of their feet. It eminently distinguishes a great swell, a boarding-school mios in her teens, m or a stiff-starched old maid. The swingers: a most unpleasant breed to I walk with arm in arm. Their manner is to ad- 1 | vauce first one shoulder then the other, with two !!' long arms pendulous and keeping time to the '. strides of a couple of stiff legs, moving as grace- V r fully as the extended legs of a mathematician's (' compasses, or the timber understandings of a ?. Chelsea pensioner. The bobbers: one might suppose them desiirous of aiding digestion by shaking and churning 1 themselves in their rambles. Their heads can c k be compared only to a fisher's float bobbing up "! f and down in the water, whence they have doubt- 1 Jh r taken their name. 01 The daudlirs: walk as though they were fr purely out of conceit with themselves; now all 1 if' on one side, then all on the other; crooked, a' straight, long steps, short steps, toes sometimes in, sometimes out. Except on a bad road, on a . S hot day, in a tight pair of shoes, and with a huu- a| r- gry belly, this style is quite unpardonable. The aicippity-hippity-hop step is usually met~| .[ -with among half-bred, Sundav-dre^cd bucks. It " is a smirking, lippity-'.cppity motion. A mer- C1 k cer's uj-prentice, or a tailor's clerk, in his holiday ^ l ^ear, may not unfrequently be seen cutting this ^ f. - ndicfllour figure. The alriders require no minute description. It J is customary with them to race along, in seven m league boots, so that it is, under all circurastan- ? > more desirable to ride than to walk with ^ wo, ? u f the-e gentry, the striders. The jog tiers are a quick, independent, hey- ^ f day, miscellaneous walkers, despising all rule, all i order. They may be seen in crowded streets playing hide and seek belore every passenger Sthey meet; even in open ways they thread every street as if it were too narrow, or had too " many lamp posts; nay, if the welfare of the na- 1 n tion were at their fiogere ends, they could not j affect more importance of carriage and motion.1 }' t is amusing to see two jostlers dancing before Eich otber at cross purposes, right and left, bcging pardon each time for the unfortunate injrruption they occasion each other. The step accidental is when you have been alking, say ala wriggle, tip-toe, or hold up, nd suddenly meet a crony, who tells you, with shining face, pinched eyes, and an affectionate wang of speech, how "handsome your gold bain is," or what "a devilish good orator you roved yourself at the club last night." On arting, the step accidental is sure to convey our person to its destination with a swinging f the body, nodding the head, humming "lal j il lal lal," and swaggering with the feet. The step delicate, one would imagine, belong ' d only to lovers and ladies. It is notso. There i such a creature in the fashionable world as a ' -1 ' * * i 1 an ay; a tning 01 pertume ana nonsense, wwuu in step as delicately as a tortoise-shell tabby. . ball room suit and pumps are the life and >ul of this very pretty step. The step pompous is that of a man who has ritteu a noisy article in a paper or a magazine, ho has made a public speech, said some silly ood thing, or struck a hard driven bargain in usiness. You are led to imagine their bodies ave acquired actual ponderosity by the transition. Such a heaving up of each side, such a arade with the legs, and such action in the ery placing of a stick or umbrella under the rm is highly diverting to every peripatetic phi?opher. The dead march is a very unique species of alking; the head, body, ana arms are held eatlily still, the eyes stare straight forward, and le creature advances his corpse by the actiou of le legs only. The flat iron step is produced by a kind of larching step, laying the foot to the ground, toe id heel at the self-same time. A lann/tTQ o fl f I ' odd-fellows, who appear to walk on one side, st as if they were beside themselves. They e no cripples, but as they choose to act the irt of such by using one leg for walking; the ' her for pushing." Alexander Dumas is writing his Memoirs for < ie Presse in Paris.

Seed Planter.?We were shown on last Monday, by the inventor, Mr. Carter, a new machine for planting seed, especially cotton seed, which exceeds anything of the kind we have ever seen or heard of. It drops from 5 to 10 seed in a hill, at such distances as is desired, and is so constructed as to open the hill, drop the seed and cover them at the same time, thus saving seed and the labor of one horse and 7 hands ; as it usually takes 2 hands to drop after one plough, and one to cover. In other words one horse and one hand with this machine performs the labor of eight hands and two horses in planting crops. From what the ingenious inventor told us of its operation, having planted his entire crop with it this year, it is destined to come into general use. It can also be made to drop corn and peas at the same time with much more accuracy than it can be done by hand. The inventor brands applying for a patent, and therefore a minute description of it might be improper. Mr. Carter is a native of Lauicns district, and we wish him every success, ami that his ingenuity may be rewarded, not only with fame, hut with something more "material." r'r / /- ZI U |iMurcnsmiv .recrruiu. Strawberries. The secret growing Strawberries six months in the year, continuously, has been discovered and practiced by Charles F. Peabody of Columbus, Georgia, one or the editors of the Soil of the South for several years, not as a theory, mere experiment, nor accidental production, but as a science, a study of time successfully carried oui for profit; for he sends his market wagon into the city, loaded with this luxury, from March till September, and last year his vines continued to ripen fruit until Christmas. What is the secrptlour fair readers exclaim.? What new variety? No other than Hovey's seeding, impregnated by early scarlet and never manured but kept continually moist by artificial watering; for which purpose he uses a garden engine. For four years, Mr. P. cultivated the same variety in a rich garden mould, manuring liberally every year, and at any time during summer ' l--.? o Via,i,-t- cu".illin nf orrpon IllVIl L'UUIU 11(1 V f UJU?UU a IICU* J nnutuv v.g.w.. riant vines, which have made very good hay? but that was not what he wished to grow.? Failing to get fruit bv garden culture, he commenced the experiment which for six years has proved so eminently successful. He cleared oti a strip of low land along a little rivulet, the soil of which is coarse sand loose gravel, intermixed with clay lightly, and of course, covered with forest mould, digging out the roots of a thick growth of bushes sufficiently prepared the land. The vines were then set in rows, six of Hovoy and one of scarlet, and the surface has never been disturbed since, by spade or hoe, except so far as going over the ground once or twice a vear to cut here and there a decaying vine or branch if grass or weeds, few of which however, in consequence of using 110 manure, ever made their appearance, neither do the plants run to vines, spreading all over the surface every year .as they ilid in the garden. The whole strength seems to be exerted for the production of large rich berries to such a degree that the ground is red with fruit?not green with leaves: and this not upon a little plat but over a fi?*ld of five acres.

I repeat ho never manures never digs the ground nor turns under the old roots togive place to new ones. In autumn, he gives a light dressing of the surface soil of the forest, and covers the ground with leaves; these rema n until decayed, and serve to keep the berries clean during the long bearing season. This, and the watering every hot day when it does not rain is the great secret of growing strawberries, not only six months but last year he actually had them upon his table every month but two?January and' February. Of course at the North, the bearing seasons could not be of equal duration, but it may be greatly extended by the same course of cultivation.?Scott's Weekly paper. How to Judge Cattle.?In all domestic animals, the. skin, or hide forms one of the best means by which to estimate their fattening properties. In the handling of oxen, if the hide be found soft, and silky to the touch, it affords a proof of tendency to take on flesh. A bea?t having a perfect touch, will have a thick, loose, skin, floating as it were, on a layer of soft fat, yielding to the slightest pressure, and springing back towards the tingcr like a piece of soft loath er. Such a skin will be usually covered wmi an abundance of soft, glossy hair, feeling like a bed of moss?and hence is ever termed a mossy skin. But a thick-set, hard, soft hair, always handles hard, and indicates a hard feeder. i q ? Remedv for Gams ok Botts in Horses.?

Thorwell, of Mctuchin, New York, presented us a basket of the finest and largest Craw ford Mclacatoon Peaches we iiave seen una year. Ilis method ot' growing theni is very simple, and may be easily followed by others. His soil is gravelly and stony, and for the peach orchard, he chose the highest part of his farm. Before setting out the trees, ho plowed deep, say 10 to 12 inches, and top dressed heavily with lime, then cultivated in the usual manner. He thinks deep plowing is the secret, and says it would have been still more beneficial to have subsoiled his orchard ground. Farmers, please remember this. Large peaches bring three to four times as much in this market as small ones. Picked Morris whites brought as high as ten di/1 ars per basket, this season. These are preserve J by the purchaser, who will sell them for 25 cetits each the coming winter. Peach growers, think ot this.?The Plow. Tiik Jews.?The new Chancellor of the Exchequer DTseaeli,?"the wondrous boy who wrote Alrory,"?in his recent Life of George Ben tick, has many interesting statements and speculations as to the "children of Israel," of whom he is one. In one place, he remarks that "the allegation that the dispersion of the Jewish race is a penalty incurred for the commission of great crime? the crucifixion of Jesus Chnst?is neither historically true or dogmatically sound. It is not historically true, because the Jews were as much dispersed throughout the world at the advent of our Lord as they are at the present time, and had been so for many centuries." Again he says: The Jews, after all the havoc and persecution they have experienced, are probably more numerous at this date than they were | during the reign of Solomon the Wise; are found ; in all lands, and, unfortunately, prosper in most. J All which proves that it is in vain for man to attempt to baffle the inexorable law of nature which has decreed that a superior race shall never be destroyed or absorbed by*an inferior.' Again: 'If the reader throws h s eye over the Provisional Government of Germany, of Italy, and even of France.'formed in 1848, he will recognize every where the Jewish eh mont. Mazni, who accomplished.the insurrection, and defence and administration of Venice, is a Je>v, who professes the whole of the Jewish religion and believes in Calvary as well as Sinai. He is what the Lombards call a converted Jew. Frederick Gentz, Secretary of the Congress of Vienna wa.i child nf Tsrnel. Several millions of the Jewish race persist in believingonly a part of their religion. There is one fact which none4can contest?christians may continue to persecute Jews, and Jews may persist in disbelieving Christians, but who can deny that Jesus of Nazareth, the Incarnate son of the Most High God, is the eternal glory of the Jewish race? 'The European nations are indebted to the Jews for much that regulates, much that charms, and much that solaces existence. The toiling multitude rests every seventh day by virtue of a Jewish law; they are perpetually reading for their example, the record of Jewish history; and singing the odes and elegies of Jewish poets; and they daily acknowledge on their knees, with reverend gratitude, that the medium of communication between the Creator and themselves is the Jewish race. Yet they habitually treat that race as the very vilest of generations, and, instead of logically looking upon them as the human family that has contributed most to human happines, they extend to them every term of obloquy and every form of persecution.' The Jesuits.?The Genoa correspondent of the New York Times says that a great dissension and rebellion has recently sprnncr up amonar the Jesuits at Rome and Naples, not respecting any new religious principles, but in relation to a reform in the fashion of their hats, called by the 1 VAIinrrDV HlOtnltiiN nftllP luiimua uty/tit-vHt. xu? jvuu^vi v. ?..v order have decided to wear three-cornered hats as better adapted to the progress of the age. The elder fathers, condemning this innovation, as against the rubs of the order, have protest'd, and go in favor of the large hats. Father Koothnn, the General, has published an article in Naples, ordering all the members of the Company of Je?us, young, middle-aged and old, to adopt three-cornered hats, threatening the rebellious with ecclesiastical terrors, and expulsion from the mystical and political order of Loyola. The Italians predict a probable schism among the Italian Jesuits. One party will be called " Protestant," and the other ' Reformed and Three-Cornered," Jesuits. The Old man and his Grand Child.?There was once a very old man, whose eyes had become dim, his ears deaf, and whose knees trembled under him. When he sat at the dinner table, he could scarcely hold his spoon, so that somel,;c ?Mih nn elnth?His son lIIMCa llCi,]/IIb U IO OW 14 ^ V?* V?V VIV?... and daughter wore much displeased at this, and at last they made their old father sit in a corner behind the stove, and gave him his food in a little earthen dish. He never got as much as he could cat, and he would often look towards the table with wet, longing eyes. One day his shaking hand let his little dish fall, and it was broken. The woman scolded but he said nothing; lie only sighed. Then they bought a wooden trough for him. Once as he was sitting thus in the corner, his little grand child, about four years old, was playing on the floor near him with some pieces of wood. What are you making?' asked the father,smiling. ' I am making a little trough,' answered the child, ' for father and mother to eat from when they are old and I am grown big!' The man and his wife looked at eaeli other in silence, and their tears flowed fist They brought their old father back to the table, gave him as much food tus lie wished, and they never again spoke an angry word when his trembling hand spilt soup on the cloth. Population of Turkey.?The New York Times contains, in a letter from Const an tinoplcj extracts from a semi-official Journal, which gijJ some interesting stat istics of the Turkish tol and Empire. The population of Constant ople, including the suburbs, is stated at 975,00(F Less than one-half of these are Mussulmen. The whole number of slaves is 47,000, of which 42,000, are females. The greater part of the fei i i ?j ?e.?? i.rt??.. males are macs, auu primim mc \Ji 11 uu.to servants. The total population ot' the Ottoman Empire is stated to be nearly 40,000,000. "I've lost flesh lately!" as the butcher said, when he sold a quarter of beef to a bad customer. The American Expedition to Japan.?The American expedition to Japan is viewed with extraordinary favor by all the Journals, both English and French, that have commented upon the subject at ajl. The Paris Constitutionel says: "The success of the expedition cannot be doubted for an instant, especially if it is conducted, as every thing leads us to expect, with a mixture of moderation and firmness. According to the manner in which the commodore shall act, he may merit the gratitude of all christendem. In all probability, tbs Japanese will not be of long duration. Wo bid the Americans God speed, and shall hear with real pleasure of the success of their mission, because we are sure tnat it will be accomplished without great or unnecessary bloodshed." Why LorrCt you Cry, you Fool ??The trial at the Salisbury Assizes, lately of an unlucky i wight, who had been helping himself to his neighj bor's goods gave rise to a piece of ingenuity on ! the part of a well known lawyer, which to us, who chanced to witness it, was 3omewhat amusing. The prisoner had been defended by counsel, all that could be said on his behalf had been said, but the case against him was too palpable to admit a shadow of doubt, and a verdict of guilty was pronounced. The judge seemed to look upon the culprit, who was a rongh looking fellow, destitute alike of friends and character, with some degree of pity, and previous to passing the sentence of law upon him, commenced giving him a few words of advice. The benevolence of his lordship's tone was not thrown away upon the lawyer, who seemed to feel that as long as there was a chance of helping his client he was bound to do his utmoit; unobserved, therefore, he at once whipt behind the dock, and putting his hands to the sides of his mouth, whispered to the prisoner as loud as prudence would permit?uWhy don't you cry you fool! Be quick? you'll save a month at least!" The culprit, who before this, was standing as unmoved as a statue, immediately took the hint, rubbed his eyes with his knuckles, and for a moment seemed overcome "jy a sense of the degraded situationJn which he stood, The dodge answered. "I trust (said his lordship) that the sense of shame which you now feel will prevent you from appealing again in such a situation in a court of justice, and in that hope I am induced to pass upon you a much lighter sentence than I should otherwise do, which is, that vou be imprisoned in the House of Correction, in this county, for the space of one month." The fellow, we were afterwards informed, is a most hardened rascal*? Deivtt (Eng) Gazette. A Dutchman had occasion to reprimand, what he considered a very refractory son, who after receiving it, took his seat with such, indications ??? or countenance as to induce the conviction that although he "acquiesced" in he was not pleased with the operation. The old gentleman observing to distorted condition of his facial ran clis and thinking he heard a muttering, turned to the truant with: 'Vot dat you say?' "Me say nothing," was the reply. 'Vel den vot you tink?4 'Me tink nothing, was the answer. 'Dat be von lie sir: you tink damn it 'an me vip j'ou for dat.' Suiting the action to the word poor Hans was made the unwilling recipient of a second very unmerciful onslaught. Time to Stop.?Speaking of courting reminds us of a little incident that occurred in our good city " once upon a time." A close-fisted old codger had a likely daughter," whose opening charms attracted the attention of a certain nice viMinrr man Aftnr some little manoeuvrinir. he ventured to open a courtship. Ou the firstmght of his appearance in the parlor, the old man after dozing in his chair until 9 o'clock, arose and putting a log of wood on the fire, said, as he left the room, w There, Nancy, when that log burnt out you must stop f" Truth Verified.?A gentlemen fom an Eastern city was relating with "great^gutto" to a gaping crowd in a country bar rootn" some of the wonderful things performed 'fin town."? The people were greatly surprised, and rather inclined to skepticism when he spoke of a brick building being actually moved without injury from 'one foundation to another.' A Yankee wit who had been "eyeing the stranger" rather suspiciously, replied?"Ft is so? for I came by the next day; and they were moving the cellar ! Local politics run high in the "We* . ;rn country. A candidate for the County Clerk in Texas offered to register marriages for nothing. His opponent, undismaved promised to do the same and throw in a cradle. An elderly lady, telling her age, remarked that she was born on the 2d of ApriL Her husband who was present, observed, "I always thought you were born on the first of April. "People might well judge so," responded the matron, "in the choice I made of a husband." Ladies toilette travelling sachels have oorno into use.
