EPITHALAMIUM.
To Mrs. Jenny Lind Goldschmidt.
BT PETER PINDAR, JR.
Well, Mrs. Goldschnndt, dear, I wish you joy:
The spinster-world forsaking,
That double happiness without alloy,
That Hymen's votaries talk of every day,
You'rs bent on trying, and taking
"Love honor and obey"
For your new motto,
Have given your hand to Otto!
Fortunate Ctto (your Otto of Roses,)
When he first learned the piano,
Ne'er dreamed he'd be the man o'
Ruck wondrous luck as this day's news discloses?
Mate to a Nightingale!
And that no common, unfledged bird,
Bu' one who has made her carols heard,
And entering now her thirty second spring,
Vows that she will no longer sing
The stupid solo of celibacy,
But join him in a duo that can't fail
To suit the popular gale,
And close in a cadenza that shall be
The climax of their joint felicity.
Was ever known such transformation?
A bulbul to a goldfinch?no goldsmith?
It passes Ovid's wildest transmigration,
And yet the change was all accomplished with
A few wordsjrom the Prayer Book ; so
The plumage from^tte'warbier dropp'd;
The soaring bird her warblings stopp'd
And then subsided to a wife?
An unpoetica! fowl, I know,
But pleasant, when it brings a ne?t for life,
Well lined, as this one, with a golden fleece
Such as no Argonauts iiad dream'd of, even in
Greece
So Otto has returned to his vocation ;
Jenny has set him up
And opened his new Goldsmith shop,
Where gold is to be wrought from all creation.
All alchemy is put to blush,
Since Midas, in his most metalic mood,
Never made gold with such a rush,
As Jenny can do or as Jenny could.
l''or, by the mint machinery of her throat,
Olto inay coin from every bulbul no.e
A full fledged Golden Eugie, fit
To circulate where baspr coin than it
Would be uncurrent, or would meet
A heavy discount in the street!
But still, I wish you joy, dear Mrs. G.;
I am resigned, or strive to be ;
I'll even forget the fifteen dollar seat
That I was fleeced of in the Barnum days;
I'll even strive to lay the unwilling: ghosts
Of scores of sacrificed white kids that meet
My tear-dimmed eyes whene'er I gaze
Into the drawer where lie the hosts
Of sad memorials ol my youthful lolly?
44 Most musical, most melancholy."
And when in future years,
Around the Goldschmidt hearth appears
A 44 birdlmg" brood that 44 must be singin"
Each in its own domestic song,
And with no Barnum all equipped for bringing

Per: aps, dear Mrs. G.,
Vou'll give a thought to me
Who, in the height of liaruum'sglorious row
That first infatuation
That seemed to fill the nation,
Invested three Vs in the fund that now
Sets up your Otto in his old vocation!

A Woman's Valuables.?Some of the brightest
pages in history are those which illustrate the
heroism and fidelity of woman. We remember
of reading a beautiful and affecting incident
I which occurred in the wars of the Guelphs and
I. (ihibbelines illustrative of these traits, and which
we beg leave to commend to the notice of our
I bachelor readers. The Emperor of Conrad had
refused all terms of capitulation to the garrison
Winncsberg; but, like a true knight,he granted
rthe request of the women to pass out in safety,
with such of their most precious effects as they
could themselves carry. When the gates were
opened, a long procession of matrons and maidens
apj>eared, each bearing on her shoulders?
not her treasures, her household goods or her
trinkets?but a husband, a son, father, or brother
1 As they passed through the enemies lines,
all respectfully made way for tliein, while the
f whole camp rang with shouts of applause.
Bachelor reader, will you allow us to ask
u-tifitlipp there is a inaiil nr mntmn on whom
you could rely for a similar service, in case of
emergency ?
What will the Giiils and Boys say!?It
has been decided by an eminent physician, that
21 for a female, and 28 for a male, .are the proper
ages for the earliest marriages.
A Connecticut editor, in dunning his subscribers,
says lie has responsibilities thrown uj>on
tliira which he is obliged to meal.
Maxims to Marry l>y.
The following maxims to narry by, addressed
to single gentlemen, are copied from a very old
number of Blaekwood, printed so long ago that
ohl 'Kit North' must have been something of a
beau at the time he wrote them :
''Now, in making marriage, as in making love
?and indeed in making most other things?the
o r>
beginning it is that is the ditHculty. 13ut the
French proverb about beginnings?"C'st le premier
pas qui coute1?goes more literally to the
arrangent of marriage; as our English well illustrates
the condition of love?'The first step over,
the rest easy.' Because, in the marrying affair,
it is particularly the 'first step' that 'costs'?as
to your cost you will find, if the step happens to
go the wrong way. And most uicn, when they
go about the business of wedlock, owing to some
strange delusion, begin the affair at the wrong
? 7 o% O
end. They take a fancy to the white arms?
(sometimes only to the kid gloves)?or to the
neat ancles of a peculiar school girl; and conclude
from the premises, that she is just the very woman
of the world to scold a houseful of servants,
and to bring up a dozen children! This is a convenient
deduction, but not always a safe one.
"White arms and neat ancles, bring, me, naturally,
at once to the very imjiortant consideration
of beauty. For don't suppose because I
caution you against all day-disabi'itcs, that I
want to fix you with a worthy creature whom it
will make you extremely ill every time you look
at. For the style of attraction, please yourselves,
my friends. I should say a handsome figure?
if you don't get both advantages?is better than
a merely pretty face. Good eyes are a point
never to be overlooked. Fine teeth?full, well
proportioned limbs?don't cast these away for the
sake of a single touch of the small-pox; a mouth
something too wide; or dimples rather deeper
on one side than the other.
,4It may, at some time, be a matter of consideration,
whether you shall marry a maid or a
widow. As to tlie taste, I myself will give no
opinion?I like both; and there are advantages
peculiar to either. If you marry a widow, 1 think
it should be one whom you have known in the
lifetime of her husband; because, then ad acta ad
posse?from some notion of what you own will
be. If her husband is dead before you knew her,
you had better be off at once; because she knows
(the jade!) what you will like, though she never
means to do it; and depend upon it, if you have
only one inch of penchant, and trusi yourself to
look at her three times, you are tickled to a cert'urny."
Marrying
girls is a nice matter always; {<01 ' V.ey
are as cautious as crows plundering a corn-field.
You may 'stalk' for a week, and never get near
unpercieved. You hear the caterwauling as yon
go up stairs, into the drawing-room, louder than
thunder; but it stops?as if by magic! the moment
a (marriageable) man puts his car to the
kev-hole?I don't myself, I profess upon pri triple,
s.,-e. any objection to marrying a widow. If
she upbraids you at any time with the virtues
of her former husband, you only reply that you
wish he had her with him, with all your soul.

li ;i woman, However, mis una more man unuhusbands,
she poisons them ; avoid her.
"In widow-wiving, it may l>o, a question
whether you should marry the widow of an honest
man or a rascal. Against the danger that
the last may have learned ill tricks, they set trio
advantage?she will be more sensible (from the
contrast) to the kindness of a gentleman and a
man of honor. I think you should marry the
honest man's widow ; because, with women, habit
is always stronger than reason.
" Mut the greatest point, perhaps, to be aimed
at in marrying, is to know, before marriage,
what it is you have to deal with. You are sure
to know this, fast enough, afterwards. Me sure,
therefore, that you commence the necessary perquisitions
before you have made lip your mind,
and not as people generally do, after. Remember
that there is no use in watching a woman
that you love; lieeausc she can't do anything?
do what she will?that w ill be disagreeable to
you. And still less in examining a woman that
loves you; because, for tlie time, she w ill be
quite sure not to do anytlim .t ought to be
disagreeable to you. I ' -Miown a hundred

man, to make lior believe that you have an aversion
to her. If she has any concealed good
qualities, they are pretty sure to come out on
such an occasion.
"Don't marry any woman under twenty?she
i? not come to her wickedness before that time.
Nor any woman who has a red nose at any age;
because people make observations as you go along
the street. A 'cast of the eye'?as the lady casts
it upon you?may pass muster under some circumstances?and
I have even known those who
thought it desirable; but absolute squinting is a
monopoly of vision which ought not to be tolerated."?Di.ackwood.

Mr. Ennon: If it is true that "the children a
| of this world are wiser in their generation than tl
| the children of light," it is no less true, "that
the God of this world has blinded their eyes." a
When ! Mr. Editor?when! let it be asked with t:
all the emphasis of deep conviction and earnest- ft
ness of imminent ruin; when will the cotton |U
planter of the South open their eyes to the fact, jp
that a crop of two million bales will bring them >
more money than one of two and a half or three mil si
lion ? We toil and struggle through the whole si
calendar, from Christmas to Christmas again, t!
devoting to the cotton crop our lands and our ai
best energies, and thereby exhausting both; n
aud all to swell the number of cotton bales to a<
an amount that must, in the very nature of
things, depress the price to a figure far below fi;
remuneration, and ktep it there. Then look at M
the diastrous consequences which are invitable I
by such a course. Cattle upon the lift, or down s<
beyond the hope of resuscitation; skeleton frames w
reeling to the plow they have not strength to I
move ; corncribs empty, and meat-houses desolate.
In last year, the little money that was
realized from the little crop, has all gone to Cherokee
and Tennessee for corn. The bacon is
yet to be bought, either on a credit or with money
borrowed at a high rate of interest; in either w
casein vol mg the hapless purchaser iu debt.? e:
An argument of five minutes will convince any n
man that all these calamities may be-ftW/led, jr
and their opposite blessings secured, by plant-"tt
itig a smaller crop of cottou and a larger crop ; 1,
of grain. Indeed, almost every man is already a
convinced, of that fact. Why is it, then, that all o
"confess the wr??ng and still the wrong pursue V a
Erich individual is aware that his diminished I
cotton crop willl have no effect ujioii tlio mar- I 0
ket, and in order to get his share ot'the money, c
lie must plant his full proportion of the cotton. \
Now, Mr. Editor, I for one, am resolved to pur- c
sue a different course, from the full conviction h
that it is to my individual interest to make a tl
provision crop; and thus, if I should not sue- a
coed so far as to have grain and jiork to Sell. I tl
at least will endeavor to avoid the humiliating c
necessity of being compelled to pay away all, j b
or nearly all the proceeds of the cotton crop for j tl
those indispensable necos>aries. And until eve- j g
ry planter is convinced by practical experience, i w
that, let others do as they may, it is for his indi- \ h
vidua! interest to do likewise, then, and not till n
then, will the cotton crop be so restricted as to | \
bring about t bat desirable state of things, viz: h
more money, ami plenty of provision.
I am aware that it is maintained, upon quite fr
formidable authority, that the extent of the crop u
has no influence in determining the price ; and c;
a learned Professor attempts to prove that to he ^
true, by the extent of the several crops of the c<
last ten years, and the relative juices obtained c;
for them. Put an argument based on those da- n
ta is incomplete. If a large crop, orcvenasuc 1<
cession of large croj>s, brought a high juice, the ti
inference is irresistible that short crojis, under ti
the operation of similar influences, would have n
brought a higher one. To maintain that short

Sliecp for the South. a!
Messrs. Editors:?It appears to me that the ^
Southern Planters, as a class, read, think, and P
reason quite too little upon the peculiarities of 01
their situation and circumstances, for their own P
welfare. Because certain breeds of animals are
found profitable in the North, they jump to the
conclusion that the same breeds must be equally 0
profitable at the South, too, not reflecting for "
one moment upon the great difference between *'
our climate and circumstances. The great heat J1'
of our climate renders our stomachs much more .
delicate, and the mutton of Clayton Iieybold,
Esq., which excites such admiration among the.
gastronomes further North, would be very apt ?
among us, to give rise to a very different sen- ,r
it
sation. "
? - - ?J 11
Tim great majority ot our runners unu punters
at the South, raise their meats entirely for 1S
their own use; ami such being the case, the v
breeds of animals furnishing such meats, and only
those breeds ought to be selected, unless the k
first cost should be too great, or there should be fi
other great objections. Generally speaking, the fr
first cost of good animals of the different breeds, e
is very much the same, therefore, is no serious a
objection. In commencing a flock of sheep, for c
insiance, how few planters take the trouble to t
think what object they propose to themselves in p
I so doing, and what breed would be the best for j c
| their purposes.?Poor rustics, as we arc some-1 p
imes made to open our eyes when we read acuunts
of the enormous weights of carcass, the
iches of fat, and 20 to 25 pounds of fleece of
ame of the B^kewell's Cotswold's and New Ox>rdshires
slaughtered further north, and involntarily
led to break the 10th commandment,
ttle remembering that were we to attempt siinar
things we would signally fail, or pay to dear
>r the whistle if we succeeded. I am quite
rilling to allow that in the neighborhood of towns
nd cities where the principal object would be to
trnish meat for others to eat, these breeds would
robably prove the most profitable; yet as such
ases are only exceptions to the general rule, they
ili rot at ail weaken the force of what I am
l>out to say in favor of the neglected Merino,
u their adaption to our climate, soil and circumtances.
they are certainly not inferior, if they
re not decidedly superior to any Euglish breed;
nd quite as much, if not much more, may be
nid without fear of contradiction, of the quality
f their flesh and wool.
They certainly do uot arrive at maturity very
arly, but in return, they are very long-lived;
hey are amongst the most prolific and the best
urses; they arc sufficiently thrifty to give no i
ause of complaint, among the most healthy,
diether as mutton or lamb, is unequalled, and
heir wool more valuable as well for coarse as
s fine fabrics , costs no more to produce than
hat of any other breed.

?ge, though witliout reflection, appearing to be
lir and impartial. In these comparisons no alision
is made to the little fact that one acre will
roduce just as much of Merino mutton and of
lerino wool as of any other breed, and the great
ipenoritv of both. I quote no authorities in
ipport of my opinions, because I do not think
mt such of your subscribers as read will find
nything new in them, and to such as do not

cknowledged as of any value.

Pastures.
There is perhaps no country in the world
here it is so easy to have ample pasture for stock,
<cepting the wild prairie lands of the west and
orth-west, as in the old cotton States; and in no
nproved country is the great advantage that
be derived from properly enclosing them,
' .1 m
>ss underslbyO or appreciated. mousanus ui
cres sire to bo seen-everywhere in this State,
f old fields and exhausted -lands, so managed
s to be of little or no value to then owners.?
)o our people know that everywhere through-ut
Europe and the Northern States, pasture is
onsidcred of the first importance to the farmer?
Vith them clover and the grasses are cons:derd
the foundation of all good farming. It may |
e said that clover and the rich grasses will not
lirive with us as with them. This may be so?
nd it is probable, indeed, almost certain, that
heir mode of farming would not suit us. Our
ustoms should be such as experience proves are
est suited to our location. If we cannot have
heir luxuriant pastures, we can have our short
rass and broomsage much longer than they do, i
Inch a great advantage. If we cannot mow
ay for wintering our stock as they do, we have
inch less need of it, sis our winters are short.?
Vith shucks ard straw and some other little
elps we are generally able to winter our cattle.
What we ought to do is, to have our waiste
mds so enclosed as to afford an aoundant pastrage.
With good pasturage we can have fat
Jttle, more milk and more manure. With plen
; of milk, we need less meat, and therefore less
jrn for feeding hogs; with plenty of manure we J
in raise more cotton and more corn, and more
icat too. I?y having ample pasturage we can
ave the vegetable matter on our cultivated
elds to be turned in. Avoid the injury of much
ending, and at the same time be gathering the
lanlire to fertilize them.
These arc such plain truths, so obvious, that
no would think it hardly necessary to urgethem;
et, plain as they are, they they are not carried
ut in practice by our farmers in one ease out of
'ii. The system of cross-fencing and close-gra
ng. and treading of our cultivated fields, still
mtinues. Would it not be better, and generIIy
cheaper, too, that the cross fences should all
e removed and applied to enclosing permanent
astures? But many of us have also branch and
reek bottoms that with proper attention would
induce the best kind of grasses. It is certain
le herds-grass and white clover succeed well in
ich places, and it is altogether likely that many
f the grosses they now produce spontaneously,
ould, with proper attention, prove valuable.?
i fact, several of niv acquaintances cut eonsidrable
quantities of liav on their wet bottoms the
ist dry summer, which has helped them mateally
in carrying their rtock through the winter.
I is not slow business. A hand can save more
f it in a day than he can of fodder. The reader
lay think I have taken a good deal of pains in
dling what every body knows; be that as it
lav, it is not what everybody practices, and it
even of use sometimes to be reminded of what
*o already know. ,
To sum up what I have to say in a few words,!

Mixed Manures.?Judge Longstreth, one of
the most distinguished agriculturists of this State,
mentioned in a conversation, a short time since,
that he had at length got his farm liauds into
the practice of scattering, every morning when
they visited the stable, a handful or two of plaster
over the manure excremented during the night
and previous day. In this way the amonia gas,
which is the fertilizing part, is kept in the manure
until you want it for the crop,and then, like,
the Western man at the fight, "always fiud it
thar," ready to feed the maws of your plants.?
