Early, very early indeed was a large portion set out" in what are vulgmrly termed " collards," and now instead of spending his matin and ves ler hours in the green carpeted grove at the south cnd of the house, they were laid at.the shrine of Pamona or Ceres-we can't exactly say which. One, we know, was the Goddess of fruits, the other of the fields, but tradition does not. if I recollect. right, tell under whose super. vision :nd patronalge came the esculent yelept e..Lh::ge. Well, early and late, did the faitliul hoe rebound against, the flint rocks in the cal bage beds, and after earning his dinner and bicakfast by the sweat of his brow, would our hero walk in the house, wiping his reeking and fllia face, nIta Ti1it is "'itolhiehilf" to go with him and admire the vegetables; and well was he rewarded fur his labers, for the plants waxed Larger and larger, until sotetine we be lieve in 31av hIe boa.-,ted a collard that inea tured fll t hree Feet. seven and three quarter inches, all told.

The tensioni nerves of the sympathuizing wife so ruthle-.ly st rung, were :is speedily relaixed and she fell bacek. not in a fainting fit, but into a deep) slutber. The destruct ion of his favor ites, which not eveii the condolence of Uiiele Jerry could modify,ecooled the Doctor down con sideraubly, and thougrh he could boaist of a fine gairden the rest of the year, still lie sented to be looking about for something else to pet. The baby caime ini for a large share of pet phrases of gentle treatment for awhile, but towards winter a Kentuckian came along with a fine brood of Berkshuire pigs. The Doctor purchased theum, antd his entergies and affections seemed suddenly to centre on the little grunters. Every one must see the wonderful eight, red, black, and spotted, sureiy the pig that wats taught to say his A 13 Cs, or lie whose swinieship was let into the maysteries of chess, never excited more wonder and admiration. Every visitor or passer by was invited out to see aind praise, and each one must guess their age, and if they had not grown it was not in default of corn and " pot. liquor." Blut it was just as the Doctor said, " They improved so fast that you could almost see them grow," and well he might, for at least, two-thirds of his time lie was perched upon the fence, reviewing their peculiarities and playful gymnasticu lations. Uncle Jerry, as a matter of course, shared alt the delights consequetnt to the Doctor's pratise worthIy fancies. TJhatnks to attention and good feeding, the pet pigs oif one seaison made fine porke'rs the next. The Berkshires went the way of all the arth, and Dr. DL-cGtyY had to look out ag:Qn for a fresh hobby. For a wiole year lie could not settle on any thing, and his wire began to hope that for the walit of somlething inure attractit e, that she and the " bairns" would clime in for a share, particuhiarly as shte laid a jaunt in view, which .be was anx ious to takIe.

Poor Mrs. DINGi.EY, imo.t severely v~as her patience tried. Biut if she could not boast a good stock of it, she knew it was said to be a virtue, and prudence whispered she had best try and exercise it. Shet was sonie times nervous, poor woman, but she did not be lieve in hysteries, else she might possibly have tried their posency. In a few weeks the Doctor had five eggs sent him of the Coehin China species, and then a fine Bramah Pootra. Ie also procured a Chitti Gong, and now he seemed to think his fortune was made. Dreams, which liad sometimes cross ed his mental vision of California and Australia, or the far famed Dorn's Mine-these Ef-Dorados of our wildest vagaries-all faded into very nothingness before the colossal statures of the " new breeds." Such another fuss as was nade from mornini until nigh t over those importations was never heard in the annals of Christeiidom. The eggs were set, and after the second week the anxions owier daily-we might say hourly -visited the nest. At. last, on one aupticious morning, a liiih. negro ran in wiah the joyful intelligence, "-Oh, mows.! masa, Dum Bo4odie dun hatch." - Wnere's my hat and shoes? Run )ick, run Ellen-iny hat ad shoes quick," exclaimed the delighted man. But before either coud be got, lie was at the nest couiting the lovely little doiwiy things, and the Doctor's zeal was crowned with a success worthy the landable can--e. Eve ry egg lhad hatched. and carefully did he place each little chirping trea-ure in the crowii of the hat just presented by Dick. The little beauties were all in a flutter at their noisy advent. If Dr DING LEY had not been a temperance aidvocnte nte think lie would ha ae proposeda a bumper tea his favorit's, but lhe contented himself by hal lowing up all he ~ fmilyl, white and black, from old uncle Tloney to little toddling Sophy to see "papa's dear liie chtiekies." During the? day all the neig~hbors were sum moned. \Ve forgast to saiy tUicle Jerry had moved some mont hs bef'lora to lie West, which event came near i'reaking the Doctoar's heart. If ihad nt been for the Shea eihais diirectinag his al ien'.ion ,-oinewhi t. we can't say what. ihie cnt seqtuenics would have beeni. The chicekenis were duly admired by the neighebors. (One worthy old farmer watnted to know which was the " hlighshani g" he Ih d heard so much italk about. Anot lber wi-he~d to have thle "i Shauiter gang" pointed out. An old lady thounght she would prefer a " Drii n Boaidie," thiniki ng, ne doublt tlh': one oef thle liiie Ionies woiulId be gi ten moare reidily than a grown one. The Doctor began to grow nervous at the repeated rege~iist< made for eggs and ebickenis, and trembhled hist his treasures should alt fade from his grasp. As they increased lhe gave away thirty eggs and three chickens. Three times each day could be heared a shrill seream of -Chiickey. Chickey, Chtkey,"aiid away went the dough out of the huge tin bucket ; aiid thetn the Doetor's wife must leave her emploayient, be ii what it might, aitd take a seat on the steps to admire each one in its turn. Now. the housewife had heard that the imported chickens were tough, stringy and not near so good for the table as the common sort, and she therefore had a curiosity to try one, so, as she sat one morning straining her ciot science to admire the utigainly, overgrown, half feathered things, she meekly said, " Doctor, I want you to let nie have one of your chickens for breakfast in the morn-" Before she could finish the sentence her hus band had sprung to his feet like one possessed, " What ! Eat one of my Shanghias ? Kill one of the chickens I have so watched and tended ? You are surely distractedi Why, I'd as soon eat one of my children-most," continued he after a long respirattion. " No, you'll ntever eat one of my chickens. Why, I' would'nt take five dollars-no, nor ten for every one, big, little, great and small. So never hint at such a thing again." The diseomfitted wife knew it would not do to broach the subject again so she wisely let it alone. By some stray chanefi one of the Bramah Pootra eggs was set in a nest with some of the com mon guinaa fowl, and at last it hiaehieid, a poorI little lame sickly thing, wvhich iL, would hatve been a mercy to hua lled. TIhe gand man fell to doctering it-we are not informed whether he gave it calomel, quinine or morphine, but so it was it soon got so it could.hop about the yard. Oe day. to his ttterLconsternation, Dick eame il creamling, " Ol, massa, nassa, you know d: little lame Dum Boodie.-well, will ail .llarget doy. dun gnn'e aid kill him. Dun dr.,wa him i:t detub (b watir." Drowned I he chickn-i ! Impossible ! Did any one ever hear the like? Go this minute and cut tme a switelh, not a peach Awileb, a good hickory.

Oh. please ma a, -ye tie sAouted as he saw the switch approaching. But the Doctor's wrath had prelly nigh evapo r:ed, and putfling with the expiring embers of outraged nature, he looked about for some hnm ble pennance for the ne.it transgression. "1 You aboinitiable, heretical- barbarians you, if you ever do the like again lil-yes, I'll hang you Up by the toes to a pine sapling, is food for the crows--ee if I don't. Clear your.elves before I murder you ouiright," he continued as they scampered away in quest of fresh mischief. ,-I declare it is too provoking," said he to Mrs. DINGLEY who wIas enjoying the scene, and the f idea that one of her rivals was ont of the way. " I wonld'nt have taken a dollar for that chicken, if it was lae." "Not take a dollar for it?" returned the a.goiished woman. "Why, you could buy eigh t chicke.ns large ehough to broil for a dollar." I ltshaw ! What are eight of any common L sort, to one Bramah Powtra?" - The Doctor's Chickens slill increase, and the i very air is musical with .Ate reverberations of 1 their lovely notes, whi'h 1 ould rival the dulcet strains of a cracked trombone and the nereech of a jackall combitned, but his weaker half, I have heard it whispervd, is greatly in heart that the reign of the Sillh uis. &c., will be over c jhfter iihile, aid tlis ie will gin the day long enongh, to wheedle him out of another tour; for grateful viNions rise before her, of far off looming mountains. rushing waterfalls and-mur- Y muring shoals this hot enervating weather, and %he endeavors to flatter his vanity by praising his pets, by descanting on their merits, admiring & their invisible beatihy, but secretly wihing that th-3y were food for the Pariahs of the hind from whence they originated.

Tier;s. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Dr, Cartwright on Cholera. The following has been sent to us by a high ly respectable citizen, as embodying some of the best hints and suggestion in relation to the zholera that have yet been made. The nuthori tv too, is of the very hignest character. Our uwn adviceols, to obtain the aid of a physician is speedily as possible in case of sickness. NEW-OH1LEANS, May 14, 18-19.-Your favor )f the 27th of April has just been received. In reply to your inquiries, whether the symptoms Jf the present Cholera agree with those of' 1833, [ answer, they do. The disease is the same the sanic symptoms, and the same .variety of ;yiptois observed in the epidenic of '32 and 33, are fonid in the present. The symptoms arv in dill'erent. places and often in the soame a1niily-snqe have cramps, others not. Most if the cascs commtlence by diarrhma, and a few y vomiting and diarrhoa at the same time; one rpid in their prougress, others slow. In eneral, there is no f'eeling of indispu.-,ition when he diarrhea begins. It is only after the system h.as been robbed f muich of its watery iluids by the diarrhoaa, hat the .iokinI sensation conlnences-just as n loss of bloo'd. The patient is thus lulled no i fital security, becanse he does not feel iek, and thinks that he has only premoiitory yiOtoms, which my end in cholera or not. I'le error lies in taking it for granted that the lisease has premonitory symptons, requiring a nilder or different treatment frot the disease tself The disease consists in a pouring back of the :ontents of the abarbent vesels into the ali nentary canil, and a filtering of the watery parts ,f the blood from the extremities of the capil. arv arteries. Before the diarria manifets tself, the dise:ase has begun. The absorbents r some of them have-poured back their contents, 'urnishing the serous or rice water matter that s thrown out by the diarrbea. How erroneous hen, to call the diarrhma a premonitory symp om. when it is actually a secondary effect of a rior diseased action, of the disease itself. To cure the cholera cito 1u0o el jucunde, this ouring back process must arrested. A-trin ents, Opiates, stimulants, &c., nav cheyk it for while, and nature may re-establish the natural ourse of the circulatio'n in the ab.orbents: but here is no security that she will do so, unless he fluids he determined to the skin ajid the ivr put to work. When we act on the skin ty inducing perspiration, we make the absor ents of the alimentary canal, hungry for fluids. A sucking up instead of a pouring. back action s established in them. The discare consits in he latter ac:ion, and is cured at once by estab ishaing the former. Fluids in the body or out f it cannot run in opposite directions at the ame time. Hence a diarrhoeafrom a retrograde etion of the absorbents must stop as a matter f necessity, when the natural course of the cir ulation in the absorbent vessels is restored by nducing perspiration.. The perspiration hAould. e supported by dilnent drin6k until we have ime to bring the liver into play. The liver is torpid in Cholera. When the ivr acts, the natural course of the abdominal irculation is restored. But until the. abdominal irculation througi the liver is restored, we mn-t et ott the skin. We cannot aet on the liver nd restore the natural course of the circulation r blood through it, under six or eight hours. 'he disease often kills i ihreo or four.

My composition differs from the ancient pre. ration, in having only one kitd of pepper in. tead of three, one antti-spasmnod ic, tle campliir, stead of many, and one slow purgative, the halk tmarcury or calomel, instead oft thle drastic egetable cathuarties used by Ihie ancients.

'he powders though are generally strong nought. When sweat is once establisherd.stimn lants are injurious, atnd are apt to drive the hood to the brain, and cause secondary fever.

Coffee after the morphine, revents it from affecting the head. I have teen practising medicine in the city of iew Orleans wore than four months, and have aen more or less cholera every day. I have o met with a sinigle case which has not been romptly cured by the above mentioned meanas, I'taken ina htatnds before the pulse fatiled. The tanst atf the cases are cured by a single dose. 'ore thtan one or two doses are seldom neces ary. Vhat kills so matny people with cholera, ley will ntot believe they hive the disease un-* it they hegin to die. They die from trifling tith the diarrhma, believing it is only a premon-. ory symptomt, and stop it or try to do saa by tringent or opiates Life is suspended by a hair tinder the " stoppnig up" empirical method. A fearful risk has to be run. But if the skin and liver be made to act, there is little or no risk or danger to be apprehended. Many dic from stimulating too much after sweat begins to flow, and not taking suflicieint fluid to restore the watery part of the blood which has been lost. The word "premonitory" lias- killed its thon I snds. The disease has no premonitory symp toms that I have ever discovered. What is call ed by that, name is the disease itself. The above mentioned powders and a vial of the morphine and camphor drops should be kept in every house when the cholera is about, and taken whenever and wherever the first symp tous of the disease show itself. In cholera, " take the medicine first and send for the ductor afterward." Respuetfully yours, &c., SAMUEL A. CARTWRIGHT, Late of Natchez. SrAXNISI INSURREeTio.-The following is the proclanation isied by the insurgent chiefs; Citizens: A corrupt and corrup;nig govern ment, wielh has outraged the majesty of the laws and humiliated the hoior of the country, is on the point of sinking under -the weight of the nationial execration. The honorable men of :1l1 pariies condemin it; the public, indignant at its iniquities, reserves lr it an exeuiplary puni-hm1ent. The days of its shamefurdonina tion do not suffice to count by them the reckon ing of its crimes. It has broken through the constitution of the State, tranpled on all the rights of citizens, been wanting to wil the senti-, ments of decortim, scorned the n~aional repre seta:ttion, closed the tribune, enchained the press, sacked the treasury,correpled conseiences, and sowed profound perturbation ii tle country. The generals who have given tto the Queen a throne, in order to reign eonsfizuionally-the mien experienced .in polticak struggles, and the independent writ ers, are persecuted, dismissed, or proscribed. 4 swarm of adventurers has proposed to itself to convert Spain into its pat rimony, and to destroy in a day the conquests of fifty years of heroic actiiQ.and generous sacrifices. After having torn btum -the people .enormous cotiributions not aitirized by the Cortes, it hias itttituted'a iew.iihpost, whlii has spread misery and fatminijiitlie provinces. Its conduct has tno example nt.pettuse. .Te revolution does not spring fron te nases, -or go out from the people-it proceoda from the governing power, which has placed itsylf beyond the law. It is not another change of persdni - which is treated of, nor a party revolution ; what is trea ted of is the fraternal union of all liberals, of all men of probity, who seek to render the scanda Ious robbery which we have hitherto witnessed impos be. Patriotism, union, and confidence-with these three elements, the itation, liberty, and torone, will be saved; and you will banish forever the sad legacy of huinliation which otherwise yott will lease to your children. An act of energy alone can putan end-to te reign of arbitrarineso aid immorality. The country expects it all from you. To arms, citi zens! Either now or never! Miss FItLLor.-The Buffalo Republic, of Thursday morning, thus notices the death of Mis5 Fillmjore: " Our citizens were shocked yesterday by the amlttntitueeiemt of the diatI of Miss Fillmore, thu ottlv datighter of the Ex-president, a young lady a- hidily esteemed. by all who enjoyed the pleasure of her acgtaintance, for the superiority of her mind a- for ihe excellence of her heart. Ont Tue:'day, Miss Fi:Ilmore left this eity in per feet he.'hit for lie re-idence of her grandiather in A trora. That evening she retired early, and awoke, during th nign i, in a state of collap.<e.

A dandy, ripei for a scrape, tipped ntods and winks at all around, saying -Gow, i'll have some fun; Ill frighten the gvreenthorn." lie jumped ashore with a long drawn Bowie kitife, brandishing it in the face of the "green un," exclaimed - "Now ill puniish you-I've been looking for you a week."

TEACH YoUR CHILDREN TO SIN.-The best tliig parents cain do for their children is to fa mfiliarize them with good, wholesome songs. Mu sic tills up their vatcant hours, softens and purifies thte disposition, renders them more tractable anid obedientt, keeps them out of mischief, and disci plines t he mental facult ies. 31 usie gives a charm to the family circle tat nothit'g else can, and the recollections of rthe songs of childhood are more durable than tany other impressions. Musie gives life and zest to the school room. Chtil-' dren have it, anid it sweetens their study and entcouratges their hearts. Music is thte soul of the church. It kindles the fire of devotion and brings the soul in fveling near the Father of music-the Cretttor of thte world. REV. Mr. Iloffmtan, ini his sermon on " The System of Free Churches," ays that the first eniclosed pew that was ever known in a church, dates btck only to the 17th century, hatlf a century anid more later thtan the Reformationt in Englanid. They were never extenisively intro duced until the time of the Puritan rebellion, tand then in opposition to the Blishiops of the Church, by men wvho wished to conceal from the congregation thtat they refused to kneel during tlte p~rayers, or thought themselves too good to pray byte side of those who were poorer thatn th..mselecs Terrible Effects of the Weather., Yesterday, says the Charleston Standard of the 2nd inst., was another scorching, seething stifling day. It seemed as though -the very ele ments had combined to assist the Sun and ren der his rays more intense and unendurable. As 'Was to have been expected the result of the excessive heat within the last ti o dafs'hag been dreadful. Men and anitnals.itve been overcome and dropped lifeless in the streets. We subjoin a list of. THE KILLED. Private Frederick Lips, of the German Rifle men, who attended the funeral of one of.the members of that Company, and Serjeant Scherb, onglonday, fell from the effects of The heat, af-, ter reaching his home on the corner of Calhoun and Elizabeth' streets, and died bettreen seven and cight o'clock on the same evening. Mons. B. Ladriere, a native of Relges,France, cngaged at Mr. White's marble yard on Meeting street, was attacked by coup de soliel yesterdgy, and expired in about twenty minutes. Iis phy sician, Dr. Lebby, informs us that he never knew a person to die - so suddenly from the effect of heat. The deceased was about fourty-nine years of age. liehael Kennedy, native of Ireland and ei p!oyed as a drayman by Mr. Woodside, was sun-. struck. and died in half an hour. He was attack. ed in Chbreb, near Cumberland street. A man named Carey was overcome by the heat on Union wharf, and died shortly after. Mr. Campbell, a native of Scoikndband.resid ing at No. 69 East Bay, died of congestion of the.briin produced by the heat. Ile had 14e-. ill for two or three days. Deceased was. 'a brother of the lato Peter Campbell of Folly Island. . A haboring man whose name our reporter was un'ble to useertain, was stricken down In the. upper part of King street, and died in a few minutes. A man working at the Orphan House, whose name was not ascertained, was also killed. - THE INJURED. Private Schroder, a member of the German Rifles, fell from the heat at the grave of a de ceased companion at Hampstead on Mond-y., and remains in the vicinity in a very critical sit uation. A person by the name of Fitzgerald overhea't ed himself while chasing a cow in the vicinity of the Post office yesterday. He fell upon the pavement as though he had been shot, and his r overy is considered quite doubtful. A negro girl was prostrated by the heat, near Market street, but by the timely application of restoratives she recovered. THE New Orleans Delta, alluding to the recent proceedings in relation to the supposed master spirits for the invasion of Cuba, says: " These abortive proceedings have .i-ather increased than diminished the zeal of those engaged in this noble enterprise. It is true that abroad, in the island of Cuba- they may produce some alarm and languor. zut herest is so-ell understood, that neither Presidents nor Judges, proclamations nor writs can restain that patriot i,m which fills every American heart, and prompts him to extend his sympathy and aid to his oppressed neighbors, that the measures employ. ed to defeat have rather tended to promote the success of the design. The atrocious usurpa tion and glaring outrage which have characteriz ed the judicial interpretation of the neutrality act, have added fuel to the flame, and made it the duty of Americauts to stamp, with their emphatic disapprobation, doctrines subversive of personal freedom and poliical rights." IloRInLE DISCLOSURE AT BUFFALo.-A des patch from Buffido, New York, states that the most intense excitement was produced in that city last Friday, in consequence of various ru. mors concerning a large numblier of deaths by Cholera at the Poor House. A large party of physicians and citizens viiled the house, and found everything connected with the establish ment in the most horrible condition. Within twenty-funr hotrs fifteen insane persons and seven others hd died of Cholera. and four more were then in a collapseI stale. The huse was found to be so foul and filthy, that it was abnuost im~possible for persons to eliter it. Its inmates were in tile most awful coinditin iminablle. On inquiry, it was found tiley' haud been itept on iisnaicienit food, and that (if thle worst quality. The reenla~r diet has been--for breakfast, a piece of bread cut in pieces about five inchteq squarc, with coffee made from barley, and a piece of salJt pork-ror dinner they had the same fare with tihe excepi ion of the coffee, and for supper they hlad bread and tea. This is the kind of food the poor ilnates have been accustomed to. Scurvy was also found to be raging in tile buildings:as well as Cholera. Several deaths from actual starvation had taken place particularly among the children, I-r is extremely gratifying, says a London let ter, to find that the nutmber of poor and the ex pense of pauperism continue to rapidly diminish in Ireland. Tile nutmbers of inmates in work houses has lessened 42,000 during the year whtich elided A pril, 1854; and the expense ha~sdecreased during thec same time from ?883,267 to ?785, 718, or ?91,549. GRAvxs IN ADVAKCE.-TeI idea of kceping ready made coffins on hand for sale, introduced~ ceveral years ago, always struck us as a very good one, and has proved of great utility- bu't that of digging graves by wvholesale, and selling them on demand, is a progression of the age for, which we were hardly prepared: and yet it is by no means unworthy of the time, du ring the prevalence of anusuail mortality. The planu has been introduced in Philadelphlit by the Cemetery Companies on whlose grounds the poor are usually buried. The principal advantage of this practice is is that the graves may be dug at night, early in the morning or in the evening; and not, o~f necessity, under a broiling sun. The graves may be dug to contain one or a half dozen coffins, as may be desired. In Philadelphia the mode adopted is to dig the grave twelve feet deep. A coffin is put 0on the bottom, covored with earthl to the depth of a few inches, anothl er collin is laid on top of this, and the same course pursued until the grave is suflicientiy full.-Baltimore Patriot. FAsnIoNABrE TIPPLING.-TheO New York Sunday Atlas tells the following: " A lady friend of ours, in making some calls upon the fashionable millinery establishments in Broadway, after making her purchases at one of them, was politely invited to take a glass of wine. We did not ask whlether site refused or not, but she informed us that the department seemed devoted exclusively tw the purpose of treating their customers. This 1s. another step in the march of civilization. We poor male bipeds will have to keep a sharp look out .for our wives and daughters, less they be induced, while in a state of semni-intoxication, to spend. more money i n nery than the law allows. Tip pling is gettino be a fashionable vice among. the ladies, and there are already several splendid. saloons in Broadwvay, which they visit exclusively for tile purpose: unattended by their lords.-s .
