OOIHQ OUT WITH THE TIDE. Raise me up in my bed, wife ; There's a setlnd of tlie sea in my ear, Ami il sings to my soul in a music That earth is not blessed to hear, Open the little window, wife, Then come and sit by my side; We'll wait God's sweet flood-water To take me out with the tide. I see the harbor-bar, wife, And iny dear little boat in the bay; But who shall be able to guide her When her master hath passed away? 1 kuow that har helm, so trusty, Will answer no other head As it answered mine, when I knew, wife, You were waiting for me on the strand. Our hoys arc all before us, wife ; Wee Jack is beneath the w&vo, Anil blue-eyed Freddy sleeps, wifo, In yonder yew-bowercd grave. Where the early daisies oluster Around liia baby bed, And ibe thrush sits chanling softer lu yon tree that shades the dead. There's a chill runs through our hearts, vile When the harbor-bar doth utoan ; But a darker grief will be yours, wife, When you're left in the cot alone; But a few more flows of the sea, wife, And a few more ebbs of the tide,? Thou God's sweet flood shall bring you Again to your old man's side ! The red sun is iow in the west, wife, And the tide sinks down with the sun ; We will part with each other in lovo, wife, For swoetly our lires have run ; Give me your hand, my own lore, As you gave it in days of yore ; Wi will clasp them, ne'er to be sundered, Whom we meet on the far-off shore ! [Chamber s Journal.'] ? THE FLAG OF THE PEOPHET. In a letter to the New York Tribune, dated, Cuustantineple, August 3, is given the following description of the Flag of the Prophet, and the influence it would have upon the Turkish people if the Sultan should decide to bring it out: There huvo been uiany rumors that tkc holy flag of the Prophet would be brought out rs a rallyiug point for the whole natiou, in view of the aspect of affairs. In fict, it is said that the Sultan has so long resisted the pressure of tho people fer this, that the venerable flag has three times undcrtakcu to shame him by going forth of its own accoid by a tii ght from the window. For ten days the Christians of this city have beeu in terror by reason of this rumor, as they bclicvo J that the appearance of the flag would be tho signal for a general attack ou Christians.? Three times my servants have come to mo with white faces to say that such a day had ( been iixed for tho massacre?the bicadmun . said so?aud every tirno they put unshaken ( faith in the new computation of dates, like , the Adventists in matters of the cud of the world. The Turks, also, are in terror much of the tirno, lest the Christians rise aud massacre them. Thus many of the pcoplo cf this city lead lives that are wretched from fear. The flag which has caused such terror in the kitchens of Constantinople?the San-jak-i-Sherif it is called?is au innocent piece of rotton and faded silk, which used to be covered with sacred writings, and once was green in color. The only legible word remaining upon it is "Alcni" (world,) which appears in a secluded fold nour the stall".? This flag is never unfurled?nor, indeed, can he, from rottenness?a characteristic which moralists may use for the basis of a sirnilo connected with tho nation to whom j tho 11 ig belongs. The flag is kept rolled 011 ; its staff aud covered with agreeu satin cov- i er, the whole packed away in a gold or gil- ( ded box. When the liolv standard is to he i brought out, it ia carriod in its green cover through tho streets of Constantinople, and, after the city walla arc passed, it is '*in the j Geld." It is then stowed away iu tho gilded box once more, aud this is carried with the i army, much as the Jews used to take tk* Ark of tho Covenant to the wire. When i it is in tho Geld every Moslem is in duty i bound to go to the wars. It is not, commonly, a signal for a general attuok on Christians, i although it does mean that no quarter will i be given in battlo. The danger of its display is, that the people, beiug called upon in a general way to make war, do so each after his own style. The bringing out of the great flag iu this war would be an abrogation of the Geneva Convention for the amelioration ef suffering on the battlc-Gcld. To PREPARE V EG ETA HEW MOULD QlJlCKLY.?As early in November as the leaves of trees cau be collected, let them be brought, iu a considerable quantity, into a close place, and dressed up there in the farm of a liot-bcd. Let this be well sutu rated wrtk^tWlffafhin^' fVom the dung- J heap, with suds from tho wash-house, with urine from the stable and cow-house, where this latter article can be procured. Let thia bod or heap be covered and lined with fraeh stable dung, to make it heat. When the heat is sufficiently subsided, let the leaven be uncovered and turned over, ts mix the dry and wot well togethor, and if moisture bo required, let them hawo it of the same description, repeating tho proecss till all be reduced to una mould. This will be ready for use in two Months from the tima of collecting the leaves, and to prevent but waste of the liquid recommended, a . layer of maiden oartn, of two feet thick, should be made the subtralum, which would receive any af the valuable liquid that WMild othorwiso run to waste. Lcavos of slow decomposition should bo avoided, as * thoae of the oak, Ac., whioh, howover, are the best for retaining heat in hot-beds and pits. Tho loaves of Fir should also be avoided, but those of tho Sycamore, Kim, Alder, Maple, and all tho soft kinds ore better suited for the purpose. This compost .should bo kept dry, in an airy place, and vidgod up. lh.it the ram cannot wash oui the salts with which it abounds?fJemJi iter's lit 'VI it. j 1 DECLAMATION OF INDEPENDENCE. .1 Valuable Historical Document l{ece ntfy Found in Carteret County, N. C. The ltaloijzh Observer gives tho following account of a Declaration of ludepeudcuco | made in that Stato iu 1777 : , "The uamcs signed to tho paper are will j known as those of tho prouiiuent men of t their day in the State, aud the gcuuiueutfs i of their signatures in very many instances | can be easily proved by inspection aud cou\- ( parison. This paper, it uiay bo as weljto j state, is not a mere copy but an origiun\jf ^ with the signatures in tho proper handwrit- i ing of the signers, and iu some iuBtances j with the dates of siguiug attached. The , paper ought to bo preserved with tho great- | est care aud photographic copios made of j it. ' "The paper was fouud by Capt. Apple ton , Oaksuiith, of Carter*, t county, on^ho 8th | day of May last, whilo searching among i some old papers at the house ?JT Cicero ] Green, Esq., at Clear Spring, in Craven , county which houso was erected ^ud occu- j pied by Mr. Green's great-grandfather, , James Green, Jr., of Revolutionary famo. | The docuuicut is in good preservation, ap- | parently in the handwriting of Richard Cas- < well, being first signed by hiufi and one ( hundred and oightv-fivc proniineft patriots j of the State, of Revolutionary tines, among 1 whom aro Willie Jouos, Cornelius llurnfctt, ( William Graham, Ilezckiah Alexander. ^ Robert Irwin, Zacchcus Wilson, John Bra- j ard, Waightstill Avery, Joseph Uewcsana , John Sevier.

' : i TnE Seven Wise Men.?Most people have heard of the "seven wiso of Greece," ^ but very few know who they wcro or how J they cauic to bo called so. llore ts the story, and the moral of it is worth remembering, j if their names are not: . The seven wiso men of Greece are sup- j posed to have lived in the fifth ccutury before Christ. Their names aro Pittacus, Bias, Solon, Thalcs, Chilon, Cleobulus, and Poriauder. The reason of their bciug called wiso is given difi'creully by various authors; but the most approved accounts state that, as some Coaus were fishiug, certain strangers from Miletus bought whatever should be in the nets without seeing it.? Wheu the nets were drawn iu they were fouud to coutuiu u gulden tripod, which Helen, as she sailed from Troy, is supposed to have thrown there. A dispute arose between the fishermen and the strangers as to whom it belonged, aud, as they could not agree, thoy tooL it to the temple of Apollo and consulted the priestess as to what should be done w.th it. She said it must be given to the wisest man in Greece; and it was accordingly scut to liias, who declared that { Thaics was wisest and scut it to him.? Thales sent it to another one, aud so on, until it hud passed through the hands of all the men, distinguished afterward by the title of the ''?;veu Wise Men," and, as each one claimed that tlio other was wiser than he, it was finally sent to the Temple of Apollo, where it still remains to touch the lessou tl*ut the wisest arc the most distrustful of i their wisdom. Raising Cabbages.?Few persons really succeed iu raising cabbages, perhaps for waut of proper knowledge of their cultivation. It must first be regarded as a bieuOMtl plant, tkltiug up tV?? iinl ya.m Im . strength and vigor to produce seed the * second year. For a good large hoad, rich, pulverized soil, constantly worked and kept clean, is absolutely necessary. A ualivo of the sea shore, it is most successful in low, moist, but not wet soil. It will succeed very well on high or rolling situations, but the soil must be broke deep, highly fertilized aud kept loose aud cloan. These particulars attended to failure is almost mit of the question. Let the young plant* be put out in tiuio to gel the benclit of the Au> gust showers, and cover with weeds or the houghs of trees, if ovortak.cn by dry, hot weather. In this climate it is best to sow the seed in a box situated to avoid the noon-day sun, und transplant to the garden when the plants have gained sufficient streugth to bear some hardship ts ?" * .

Last Suaday nlgi^ tffe converts were shouting at a torritle rate, and calliug on the Lord. "Ef yotLsee Satan iu tny heart pull him out and slow him to me face.
