m _______ * My First Ride. Twas five-and-twcnty years ago My mother fell asleep, When I was quite tee young to know That I had cause to weep ; And yet I knew her sleep was sound, And they would put her in tho ground. The house was very still that day, And father spoke more mild, And when they mother took away lie sobbed just like a child ; Thoy bore her to a garden fair, And I rode with my sister there. I wore my little new, white hat, Trimmed with a broad crape band; And in the carriage as 1 sat, 1 felt quite pleased and grand, And wondered why my sister cried When I enjoyed so much the ride. But when I reached the bright green place With flowers bespangled o'er, And saw my sister's tear-stained face, I wondered yet the more ; And asked her why all looked so sad, And if 'twas wicked to be glad. " The birds," I said, " are singing here, And roses bloom siround, And pure, white marble stones appear All scattered o'er the ground ; If birds are happy, why should I In such a place, dear sister, cry?" " I hear the birds upon the trees, And smell the flowers," she said; M But O, my heart is not with these, My thoughts arc with the dead ;" And then her grief burst forth anew, 'Till 1 felt almost, snlnmn too They put my mother in a tomb Tnat looked just like a house, Which only had one little room, And that seemed very close; I told them, when we came away, I'd rather in the green grass lay. I knew not then what 'twas to die, Nor what was sorrow deep; I thought 'twere pleasant there to lie And dream in happy sleep; But after years have taught me well What wo speaks in the passing bell. 'Tis five-and-twenty springs ago Since I was thus bereft; I wonder oft so sad a blow No sad impression left; It seems so strange my sweetest ride Was when my sainted mother died. " Why, Bless Her, Let Her Go!" Some time ago 1 fell in love With pretty Mary Jane, And I' did hope that by and by She'd love me back again. Alas ! my hopes, a dawning bright, Where all at once made dim ; She saw a chap, I don't know where, And fell in love with him! Next time I went?(Now how it was I don't pretend to say,) But when my choir moved up to her's Why her's would move away. Before 1 always got a kiss, (I own with some small fuss,) But now, forsooth, for love nor fun, * Tis non-corae-at-a-iuss ! Well, there we sat, and when we spoke, Our conversation dwelt On every thing beneath the sun, Except what most we felt. Enjoying this delightful mood, Who, then should just step in, But he of all the world whom I Had rather see than him. Aud he could sit down by her side; And she could?all the while He pressed her hand within his own? Upon him sweetly smile; And she could pluck a rose for him, So fresh, and bright, and red, And gave me one, which hours before Was shrunk, and pale, and dead. And she could freely, gladly sing. The song he did request; Tho ones I asked, were just the ones She always did detest. 1 rose to leave?O she'd be glad To have me longer stay ! w- J- ? . - w uuuub 01 it; r*o aouDi iney wept To see me go awcy. I sat me down?I thought profound, This maxim wise I drew; Tis easier far to like a girl, Than make a girl like you. But after all, I don't believe My heart will break with woe; If she's a mind to love " that chap," Why, bless her, let her go! 1#it anil IStttmit. Core for the Luy lever. The following ludicrous extract is from an old book on physic, which we were favored with by a friend; it forms the conclusion of a grave physical treatise. Tho work is from the pen of one Andrew Booede,who lived in the days of Mary and Elizabeth, and is entitled, * The Breviary of Health, by Andrew Boorde, PI isyche Doctoure, an Engl ysman, anno 1667." Should any of our patienta be troubled with the disorder here mentioned, we trust the remedy given by this learned doctor will be fonnd efficacious: 44 The 161 chaptire doth shewe of an evyll fever, the which doth com bar young persona, named the fever harden (lazy fever.) Among all the fevers, I had almost forgotten the fever burden, with the which nanye younge I younge women, maydeos, and other I I ^ if youDgo persons, bee soro infected now-adayes. The cause of this infirmitta: This < fever doth come naturally, or els by evyll j and slothful brynging up. If it came by nature, then the fever is incurable; for it can never come out of the fleshe that is bred in the bone; vf it coine by slouthful bryining up, it may be holpen by diligent lubour. A remedy : There is nothing for the- fever burden so good as is unguentuin bnculinum; that is to say, take a stcyke or wan of a ( yard of length and more, and let it be as great as a man's fynger, and with itannoynt i the back and shoulders well, niomyng and evenyng and do this twenty-one dayes, and if thlR f#?vor wvi not hnlfvnn in that fvmn. let thcin beware of waggyngo on the gallwes ; and whyles tlioy do take theyr inedi- ' cine, put no lubbar-wort into their potage."

At the corner of Merchants' Row, his progress was arrested by the lumbering transit ofa 1 two-story house, on wheels, drawn by half a dozen yolk of oxen, with the people inside pursuing their usual avocations. ' " What on earth is this 'car? " he asked 1 of a bystander. ! " Oh, nothing," replied the " towney," ' " the folks are onlv movincr. that's all."? ' When we move down here, we do it house 1 and all." 44 Je-rusalem ! Wall, that'ere beats all ' natur. Well eap'n, what's that 'ere big 1 stun house over the left ?" < " That's the new Custom House.

It'll take all the oxen in creation to start her." 4 44 Oh, they use elephants for such large J buildings." t 44 And how many elephants will it take" s 44 Upward of a hundred." t The Yankee cut a deep gash in his shingle and walked on. He next inquired for the Adams' House, for he had 44 heard tell " of that, and was determined to progress during juvenility, ~ aware of the impossibility of doing so at a more advanced age. 44 lie soon found the 44 tavern " and the 44 deacon," and ordered accommodation, liberally 44 darning the expenses." Having 44 slicked up," a little, ho witnessed, with some amazement, the operation of a servant upon the gong, simply remarking, that 44 he know'd what sheet litcning was, but this was the first time he'd ever heard of sheet thunder." lie followed the crowd into the dining hall, and was ushered to a seat, where ho esconsed himself, tucking Ins towel under his chin with a sort of 1 desperation, as if he was going to be shaved or scalped. The sight of the covered dishes added to his amazement. 44 Dod darn it!n he exclaimed,44 ef I ever heard of cookin' on the table ! but here they've gone and sot tin kitchens all over the lott. Whar's the fire to come from I'd kinder like to know?" He got along with his soup very well, and was pausing for breath, before he finished it, when a waiter snatched it away and was running off with it. 44 Hello, you, sir ! " vociferated the Yankee, 441 see you. Fetch that 'ere back, quicker'n lightning, or you'll hev yer head punched." His plate was returned, and he finished his soup with dignity.

"Je-rusalem 1 w he exclaimed. "This 'ere is a curious contrivance, and no mistake. How on 'arth am I to get at that tarnal vinegar I I'll try it once more." Again ho cantered the castor, but this time all the stopples tumbled out. " Thundoration !" he roared, 44 here's a pretty mess.

Darn the thing, I say." 44 My friend," said the gentlemen opposite, with a strong control over his risable muscles, it appears to me that if I were in want of vinegar, I would take the vinegar iruit out of the stand, and by that means ihould avoid all trouble." 44 Here the whole company, waiters and nil, burst into a convulsive lit of laughter. The Yankee rose in a rage, upsetting his chair, and glaring defiance on his neighbor. 44 How in the name of all tarnal cusses in creation," he yelled, 44 should I know anything about the way the darned thing worked, when I never seed one on 'em afore ? You've hatched this up agin me? I know it. Whar's the Landlord ? Fetch j-our bill on?I'll get out of this. I hain't cat ten cents worth, but I'll pay up like a book, and euss and quit.

Description of our Saviour. The Boston Journal says that the (blowing epistle was taken by Napoleon from he public record at Home, when ho deirived that city of so many valuable maniscripts. It was written at the time and >11 the spot where Jesus Christ commenced his ministry, by I'ublius Lentullus, the jrovemor of Juden, to the Senate of Home, Caesar, Emperor. It was the cusom in those days for the Governor to write lome any event of importance which ranspired while he held office: "Conscript Fathers: There appeared in hesc our days a man named Jesus Christ, vho is yet living among us, and of the Sentiles is accepted as a Prophet of great ruth; but his own disciples call him the ion of God. Ho hath raised the dead, :ured all manner of diseases. lie is a nan of stature tall and comely, with a rery ruddy countenance, such as the bejolder may both love and fear. His hair s the color of the filbert when fully ripe, )lain to his ears, whence downward it is nore orient of color curling and waiving ibout his shoulders; in the middle of his' lead is a seam or p Ttition of long hair, ifter the manner of the Nazarites. His orehead is plain and delicate; his face vithout spot or wrinkle, beautified with a omely red; his nose and mouth are exacty formed; his board is of color of his hair, ind thick, not of any great height, but orked. In reproving ho is terrible; in admonishing, courteous; in speaking very nodeat and wise; in proportion of body, veil shaped. None have seen him laugh, >ut many have seen him weep.

Mr. Noel returned to the bedside. The sufferer's strength was well nigh exhausted. lie whispered in the ear of Mr. Noel the appalling words, "I'm lost." lie sunk down in the bed, drew tho clothes over his head, and never sj>oke again." Igrintltnrnl. Farming in old Hancock. Messrs. Editors?I send you somo statistics of agricultural interest in Hancock, which you may publish if you wish. Messrs. T. J. and David Dickson, of this county, surpass anything we have noticed in the farming line. Their farms join, and both arc cultivated on the same principle. They have kept an account of the labour required to cultivate each one hundred acres in corn, which was fifty days plowing for a horse and plow; after the corn was planted, no hoeing, only two plowings, four furrows in a row, each time, rows eight feet distant. They will make on an average of one hundred acres, twenty bushels per acre; common pine, mindly land, having been cultivated 40 or 50 years, manured with cotton seed, putting not half a pint in a hill. The pea crop will pay for planting and plowing the land before plnniing. Allowing a horse and plow to be worth one dollar per day, corn is produced at tho exjHMise of two and a half cents per bushel. If the above statement should be doubted, tho corn is there to show for itself.? In regard to the lal>or, sufficient evidence Pfttl ItO )in<t t<1 IVfAt'O f lin Ulimtltif U?n?n?l l>e correct. From their improved mcxlc of culture, they can cultivate sixty acres per horse, including all krtids of land. Mr. Thomas J. Dickson has successfully cultivated one thousand and eighty acres, with eighteen horses, live hundred ncres of which was in cotton. I linve no other design in sending this statement than, if possible, to encourage the planting interest. The account is correct, and instead of Iteing exaggerated, it is not fully given in their favor. Their plan of culture is deeidedly an improved one; their advantage chiefly consists in the kind of plows used. Yours, most respectfully, A. HE., (of Warren County, Oa.) Hancock County, On., July 8, 1852. Remark.?Will our corresjxmdcnt be kind enough todesciibe the plows used by the Messrs. Dickson, and also enter more minutely into the details of their*practice. Southern Cultivator. From the Scintijic American. Milk. This liquid is secreted in special organs of the female mammalia, for the nourishment of ike young, and it necessarily contains all the ingredients required for this object, it contains insoluble matter held in mei pimtliflAl li'litniUlOim I n - ... w. upu.-.u!!. IV in n OUIIIIIUII UI ? small quantity of different salts, with a considerable j>roj>ortioii of sugar of milk, and a nitrogenous substance named cheese or casirn. A iiuiiiIht of small globules of fat of different sizes are suspended in it, they can only be discerned by the microscope. The salts of milk which amount to about one per cent, of the whole, are the phosphate of lime, phosphate of magnesia' phosphate of of iron, chloride of poUasium., chloride of sodium and sodia. The soda holds the caccin in solution, l'uro casein is scercely soluble in water; its combinations with the alkalies, however, are very solublo. The addition of a small quantity of acid separates the soda from the casein, and this makes thickened milk, the cord being no longer in solution with the alkali. Casein is the most abundant substance in the milk. After the casein is precipitated there is sugar in the remniuing liquid or whey, this is the reason w hy it hus a sweeter topic than even the pure milk. This is tlnrxtuly sugar generated in the process of aniinM- li,e. It requires three parts of boiling water and twice as much a>ld water to dissolve it. The sugar of milk is easily converted into lactic acide; it is owing to this quality that the acidity of sour milk is due. It has been found by experiment that a cow fed npon grass yields a greater nilftntilv r\( mill/ fKon if <!u/1 I -J *rj VI imiia VUMU ?VM M|?VII nily UUICI food. So far a* a series of regular experiments aiford any data for conclusions, that kind of food which contains the greatest quantity of nitrogen, always yields the freatest quantity of milk, and tho best ind of it for it, also contains the greatest quantity of butter, and this is not a little singular, for butter contains no nitrogen. .It is not a good plan to feed cows on a uniform diet, for experiments have proven that the yield of milk, by such a system of diet, gradually diminishes, it is therefore a good rule to change the food ef milch cows frequently. The milk obtained from cows in the morning is generally richer titan that obuined at evening. It has been found that certain pasture grounds are mnch better than otners for the production of rich milk. We believe that this subject, of good grazing grounds, has not received thAt attention which it demands. There is certainly as much diflferance in the grass, herbs, Arc., in certain pasture lands, as there is in different kinds of food As ivirl is fliA MIMA of VHirino millr and aa the reault of it hemming acidulous ? a complete separation of the casein from the other parts, it has been suggested that the addition of some alkali, such as soda or salaratus, might render sour milk sweet The truth is that the addition of sn extra quantity of alkali is just about as great an evil as an excess of acide, It is the perfect solution of the fatty parts of milk with the alkali in it, which imparts that line flavor to it when newly taken from the animal. If some pea Hash be dissolved in warm water, and some pure sweet olive oil be poured into it and well stired, the liquid will become thick,white, and milk r 4k ' 1 iu appearance, aud will also possess a flavor much like that of sweet milk. In some parts t)i our country there has been very severe droughts this summer, especially in the State of Maine, It is stated that the hay is only half a crop, and that farmers tfill have to sell a great deal of their stock before the winter sets in Those of oUr farmers who have milch cows should use less lmy for food thanthey now do. Cabbage, beans linseed, barley, potatoes, and hay, should bo given to every milcl- cow during our winter season at the north. Theao kinds of food can be varied so as to have a change every week. Every fanner sh< uld have a steaming apparatus in his barn yard; and plenty of pure air and good drinking water are as necessary as good foot! for the health of milch cows, and the production of a superior quantity of good milk. Remedy for Rust in Cotton.?The New bery (S. C*) Sentinel says: A friend of ours?a practical planter of large experience?stated in our hearing, on Monday last, t,at salt sown at the rate of half a bushh per acre, amongst cotton, is a certain elemedy against rust. It will not only prevent the rust, but will stay its ravages and restore the diseased plant to its wonted vigor. It is a simple remedy and worth a trial. This is the season for rust, and we give this information that onr farmers may try the remedy. If it prove effectual, of which ??e have not the least doubt, it will be of immense benefit to the planting interests. We would like to receive the result of further trials.

From inquiry we were persuaded to use it, nnd must say we found it specific in its action upon diseases of the liver and digestive organs, and the powerful influence it exerts upon nervous prostration is really surprising. It calms and rilrcngthens the nerves, bringing them into a state of repose, making sleep refreshing. "If this medicine was more generally used, we are satisfied there would be losHtckneas as from the stomach, liver, and nervous system the great majority of real and imaginary diseases emanate.
