THE HOME OF MY BOYHOOD.
The horn? ol my boyhood!
Thy name, oh how dear,
It brings a sweet sadness,
A smile and a tear:
And thoughts of thee ever
With memory's tide
Come brightly, as wave-like
They fast by me glide.
The hours of my boyhood
Have taded away,
Like stars when they vanish
At the breaking of day :
Those mo nents so tranquil
T-i i a., J
rurever nave iieu,
And loved ones are sleeping
Alas, with the dead !
The hours of my boyhood
Are vanished away;
They glitter as dew-drops,
As brief was their stay.
1 think of ihe village,
The church and the 6tream,
And faces flit by me
Like shapes in a dream,
??
The fame that a man wins for himself is best;
That he may call his own ; honors put on him
Make him no more a man than his clothes do,
Which are as 60on ta'en off; for in the warmth
The heat come6 from the body not the weeds;
So man's true fame ruust strike from his own
deeds. Middleton.
Tlie Educated Politician.
Education is the theme upon which orators,
priests and politicians arc wont to enlarge, and
taking Curran's advice, when, they can think of
nothing, else to say, they 'soar,' and the pinions
that l>ear them up, or rather the theme upon
which they found their flights of limey, is 'Education:'
'To educate a people is to give eternity to their
freedom,' says the politician; "tis education forms
the common mind,' says the pedagogue; 'educate,
educate, educate,' says the orator; 'education is the
hand-maid of Christianity,' says the clergyman, so
it will at once be perceived, that in whatever
else people may differ, they all agree as to the
importance of education.
Some seem to suppose that education will
make up for a lack of common sense, and the less
they happen to have of the latter commodity,
the more pains is taken oftentimes, to avail themselves
of the former.
When education (we take the common acceptation
of the term, which simply means, staying
some four years inside a college,) is combined
with real mother-wit, its jmssessor is very sure to
reap great advantages from it; but without this,
he seems shorn of his strength, and, like Sampson
of old, can easily be overcome, even by a
Philistine.
As an illustration of this idea, we hoard of a
little incident that occurred recently 'Out Wctt' j
during a political canvass:
Esquire B. was a man, who thought his position
iu society, his good name, and more than all
else, his liberal education, entitled him to a
place in the atfictions of the people, and so, 1
after a good deal of managing, lie succeeding in
getting the nominatiou to the House of llepre- ;
sentatives, from the party to which he belonged. .
Nominations are not elections in these days, ,
but Esq. B. thought himself safe enough, as his
party had a large majority in the borough and
every thing seemed to promise him an easy vie- .
tory; besides, his antogouist, if not absolutely (
illiterate, at least had niver been inside the walls (
of a college, no, not even to an academy. What
then had he to fear? Nothing.
The day of election finally came; and both of ]
the candidates were expected to make speeches, (
defining their positions, explaining their own ^
views of Dublic nolicv. and mvstifvinor their an
i i J ? # ^ j n
tagonists as much us possible. It need hardly ,
be said, that Esq B longed fur the hour to arrive
when, after having showed his great superiority ,
over Farmer A. the people would by acclama- ,
tion elect him to the place of distinction, which
he so much coveted.
The wished for hour arrived, and, Esq. B. and j
Farmer A. luuiiuted the rostrum. It was agreed ,
that Esq. B. should speak first; so politely bow
ing to the large concourse, he commenced.
'Friends and Fellow-citizens!' aud so proceeded in ;
the usual manner of political speech making.? (
lie soon came to define his position, and commenced
with the 'The Tariff gentlemen?'
It is no such thing,' said Fanner A. ,
The Tariff of forty-six?
Not half on't; roared out the Farmer.
The Tariff of forty-six is a measure which?
It's nothing but a tariff, sir, there is 110 measure
about it, sir, it is a scandal to our forefathers,
sir, to call it nick-name, said the farmer, getting
?fi nv/vitr/1
latuui VAV-IWVVI.
Esq. li. was getting rather excited too, and
with a look of defiance, he addressed the farmer
with peculiar emphasis.
Am I thus to be interrupted;
Do you sj>eak to me, sir!
Yes, sir.
Well sir, I shall correct you sir; whenever I
think proper, sir.
Do you know who you are talking to?
I reckon I do.
Well, do you know that I have been to two i
universities?
What of that!
Why I cannot be interrupted by such a ninny
as you sir, it is unbearable.
/ vl- 1 I.*.-? ???/-* uniimfoiliAfl havo
WD, J'UU m;uu vy iinu uunuoiuv'! u?<v
you!
Yes. i
Well what of that? I had a calf once that
sucked two cows, and the observation I made
was, the more he sucked the greater tho calf he
grew.
It is almost unnecessary to add, that the Esq.
seized his hat and rushed from the stand amid
the shouts of the by-standers, and \vc fear, an o]>ponetit
of popular elections.
The polls were soon opened, the election proceeded,
the ballots were counted, and Farmer A.
was declared the representative elect.
We hope he will make as good a hand at legislating
as he was at repartee.
A Quekr Way ok Settt.ino a Dispute.? A
late San Francisco paper has the following account
of a cool proceeding in that city, which
very forcible illustrates life in California:
"A party of four persons were spending the
Sunday quietly in playing all fours. One of the
parties, however, not content with the chances of
the game and determined to chain the fickle goddess
to his side, established a kind of telegraph
with his partner by laying his hand carelessly 011
the table after eacli deal, and extending his fingers,
designating very intelligibly the number of
trumps he held. The device was ingenious and
highly successful for a while, but was unfortunately
discovered by one of his opponents, who
on a repetiton of the offence^ very dexterously
whipped out a bowie-knife, and cut off two fingers!
The unfortunate kombre screamed with
pain, and having picked up his stumps, rushed
from the room. His partner inquired of the amateur
surgeon what his reasons were for such conduct,
when he quietly replied, "it was fortunate
for your friend that he had no more trumps, or
he would certainly have walked off with fewer fin
gers." Cool, that.
Remarkable Prophecy.?The following prediction
of St. Ciesario, Bishop of Aries, in the
year 542, may not be considered void of interest
at the present moment. It is taken from a
a book entitled "Liber Mar alibis" printed in
Gothic characters, and deposited in the Royal
Library, Paris:
" The administration of the kingdom (France,)
will be so blended, that they will leave it without
defenders. The hand of God shall extend itself
over them, and over all rich; and the nobles shall
be deprived of their estates and dignity; a division
shall shall spring up in the church of God,
and there shall be two husbands, the. one true,
and the other adulterous. The legitimate husband
shall be put to flight; there shall be a great
carnage, and as great a profusion of blood as in |
the day of the Gentiles. The universal church
and the whole world shall deplore the ruin and
destruction of a most celebrated city, the capital
and mistress of France. The altars of the temple
shall be destroyed; the holy virgins outraged,
shall fly from their seats, and the whole church
shall be stripped of her temporal gods; but at
length the black eagle and the lion shall appear
hovering from far countries. Misery to thee, 0,
city of phylosophy! thoushalt be subjected! A
captive, humbled even to confusion, shall at last
receive his crown, and destroy the children of
Brutus."
The Bite of a Drunkard.?The Baltimore
Clipper pays that Mr. Hiram Wilcox, of Dayton,
Ohio, iu assisting, about two weeks ago, to take
a tliunken loafer to jail, was bit by him on one
of his tingors. He paid little attention to it, until
a few days subsequent it became swollen and
painful, with every appearance of erysipelas.?
The ord nary remedies iu such cases were applied,
but the infiamation spread rapidly from the hand
to the arm, and dually to the body, growing
worse and, worse until mortification put an end
t j his life.
^
A somewhat singular lumar phenomenon was
visible in this latitude between eight and nine
D'clock on Tuesday night, which I do not seo noticed
in the papers. It was observed by many
with considerable wonder.
At no great distance from the moon, seemingly
t/i t hp nuked eve. about two hundred vards Oil
J J-i ; j
each side of her queeu-like majesty, appeared
two luminous bodies, resembliug large nebulae or
nucleus of comets. From these were emitted
the trails of light, forming a partial circle, like
unto a rainbow, embraiceing, apparently, twothirds
the dome of the starry firmament. This
strange appearance continued for some 20 minutes,
gradually growing brighter and then disappearing
by degrees until lost in the azure stargemmcd
vault. I was fortunate enough to be
out at the time, and had, with many others, a
full view of it. Some of the unlettered and unphilosophical
were quite amazed; and I could
hear them express the belief, that it was ominous
of approaching calamity. The sky, at the time,
was overciist with thin vapor, and the moon's
borrowed light reflected upon this under the peculiar
cicumstanccs, no doubt caused the phenomenon,
which was nothing more than an unI,*!,nil,
munrnitinpiit. luinar hmv or circle, such as
I have never before seen equalled in brilliancy or
beauty.?National Intelligencer.
An hour in the morning is worth two in the
afternoon.
All things are soon prepared in a well-ordered
house.
However little we may have to do, let us do
that little well.
Fair dealing is the bond and cement of society.
Pleasure is precarious, but virtue is immortal.
Money is a useful sen-ant but a tyrannical master.
It is easier to suppress the first desire, than to
satisfy all that follow it.
That virtue which parleys is near a surrender.
Use your wit as a buckler and not a sword.
Evil men speak as they wish rather than what
thev know.
He that would enjoy the fruit must not gather
the flower.
Never open the door to a little vice lest a
great one should enter also.
Act uprightly and fearlessly, as you would
defy the devil and all his work.-".
Experiment with Corn?Deep Plow- !
Ing and Green Crops.
The gronud upon which the experiment was
made, was as near alike, and prepared as near ,
alike as could be. The corn was planted the 4th ; .
of May, thn# by five feet. That which was | ]
plowed, was plowed the wide way only. Four j <
rows were plowed exclusively with the coulter, i <
1 t :~i . .? :_~i? .]?_ m I ,
IIUJI1 ClgUL KJ LCII 11IUI1CS X lv?TJ??g I
ed tour times at suitable intervals. The next 4 ;
rows were cultivated exclusively with the hoe.?
The balance was plowed sis usual here, first
throwing the earth from and then to the corn,
and plowing four times. All was kept clean
throughout the season. The rows of that eulti;
vatcd as usual, when gathered, weighed 42 lbs.
The next weight 43 3-4 lbs. The two others of
hoed corn weighed 43 lbs. Two rows of coultered
com, side by side with the preceding, and
having the same number of hills and ears of corn
weighed 43 3-4 lbs. The hoed com was nearly
prostrated by the wind and rain. I had to set
up the greater part of it just before and just after
it tassel led. The coultercd corn suffered hardly
half so much as the hoed. The residue suffered
comparatively little. These are the facts. Deductions
for you and your readers. The quantity
raised on the ground is of no consequence.
I conducted various other experiments with
com, but do not deem them of sufficient interest
to burden your columns, nor bore your readers
with their. These little things arc interesting
to me, however, and I always have some such
under headway.
I book-farmed that famous bottom#! sjioke
I to you about, and made a tair crop 01 corn, i^asi t
I year, it took sixty of the largest ears to shell a r
bushel; this year forty eight do it. This book T
farming makes me the subject of great ridicule jj
and merriment. For instance, last spring you
advised us to plow deep and pulverize well. I t
did so and was laughed at therefor. You ad- 0
vised sowing broadcast. I sowed something jt
like four acre^ This threw a great many dia- j,
phragms into convulsions, and the cachinations r(
were rife and boisterous thereat. i<
So well am I pleased however, that I shall n
give them an opportunity to split the larynx b
outright another year. The fodder produced jy
was enormous, besides a pretty considerable d
sprinkling of cant. You apprised us that it
might be well to sow rye for early grazing, soiling,
Jkc., the next spring, and I have done so. It j,
is too green to laugh at now. You instructed us j.
to sow twelve quarts of timothy seed per acre. I
did it. And if they do laugh at that it is mighty h
green. [Fearing that some of our readers may
not understand the. full meaning of the word si
"green," as here used by our correspondent, we fc
explain that the timothy and rye sown by him, 1
agreeably to our directions, have already cover- g
ed the land with a thick green herbage, and give a
promise of uncommonly Large crops of hay and c
grain?Eds.]
To renovate land, you inculcate turning in ft
green crops, tcapsized all my clover?mastica- t
tore displayed themselves, of great length and o
breadth. Of all the green things, the wheat on J
that clover land is the greenest; and rather too \\
green to laugh at. The land having been put in si
order by plowing and harrowing and crushing,
the wheat w;is ploughed in about three inches d
the first of September, and I harrowed it the first o
of October.?Correspondence of the American ll

Is there any Virtue in Vaccination 1?The' Q
following communication, in the New Ark (N. e*
J.) Advertiser, relative to the virtue of vaccina- n
tion, is interesting. There is a large amount of ^
smaU-pox prevailing m the various ? j at the w
present time?List week over twenty deaths from 01
this disease occurred in Philadelphia?and many
persons have a prejudice against vaccination,
which appears to be the o dy effectual remedy "<
against the violence of the disease:?Carolinian. P
"On the 4th of November, 1851,1 was called
to visit a patient in ray practice, labjring under se
the disease of varioloid or modified small pox. At H
the same time there was a boy about five or six m
years of age residing in the family, attending a a
school. His parents, as soon as they ascertained n<
that small pox had broken out in the house, im- oi
mediately took the boy home with them, and he di
having never been vaccinated, I immediately at- li:
tended to it, leaving directions that if the boy ri
was taken sick, I should be immediately sent for, of
(this was on the 10th inst.) On the 15th I was y?
sent for. and found him laboring under symp- d<
toms similar to the premonitory sypmtoms of gi
smallpox. Not being certain however, but con- tl
fident if the infection of variola had not already w
been introduced into the system, that vaccine virus
had, I directed that he should be carried
back to his grand-parents, and put into the room ~
with his aunt, (the small pox patient,) where they
ate, drank and slept together about four weeks, a
neither of them leaving the room during that s<
time. The seemingly premonitory symptoms of 3
variola or small pox proved to be nothing more P,
than a foul stomach, which passed on as soon as v"
the stomach was cleansed., It was the filth day ^
from the time that the boy was vaccinated that P
he was placed in the room, there exposed to the
condensed infectious air of small pox. Yet notwithstanding
the immediate and constant con- k
tact with the infection of small pox, the vaccine n
virus triumphed: not being in the Feast impeded 0
or interrupted in its progress by the presence of b
that disease, which but half a century ago, was ^
the terror of the whole habitable world. Yet * '
who would believe that we have still some among v
us who look upon the profession as seekers of c
pelf, more than the good of their fellow men; in- a
steadj of raising their hands and lifting up their
hearts, full of gratitude and praise to the Giver t]
of all good for this inestimable blessing and powerful
antidote for so direful a disease."

Winter Fashions.
A number of new head-dresses, adapted to the
jvening parties of the present season, have just
appeared. They are made chiefly of ribbon,
lace and flowers, either singly or in combination....
... . j
some oi tne no Don neaa-uresscs are composed
jf a mixture of figured ribbon and of ribbon
troche with gold. Among the new wreaths we
nay mention some formed of the wild rose, the
rolubilis, or of any flower of medium size. These
.vreaths encircle the head, and have on each side
:hree drooping sprays. A boquet. of the same
lowers employed to ornament the jupe of the
Iress has also three pendant spray3. The cactus
nay be employed with advantage as an ornancnt
for the hair. For dark hsir nothing can
xj more effective than a wreath of cactus, varyng
in color from rose to ponceau, and intermingled
with narrow pendant foliage. One of the
lewest wreaths we have seen consists of double
:oqueligots of the natural color, intermingled
vith foliage of black velvet and jet. This wreath
lad no pend;uit sprays. For full evening cosume
the coifl'ure of feathers, or feathers and lace
appets, is as fashionable as ever. Among the v
nost elegant mourning head-dresses, we may
nention some formed of a half-handkerchief or
anchon of black lace, the corners rounded ahd
lisposod, one towards the back of the head and
he others hanging down as lappets. The trimning
on each side may be velvet flowers or bee,
ntcriningled with various ornaments of jet; for
nstance. licht foliarre or liners of iet. the latter

inked in the form of a chain, drooping low at
ho ear?. A suitable nead-dresss for slight
nourning may be formed of a long barbe of
.'hite lace, fastened by two boquets of white and
lac (lowers.
Some evening dresses have been made with
wo jupes, each of a different material from the
ther. One of these dresses consists of an upper
ipe ofbroche silk green sprigged with roses.?
t is gathered up on each side by ,a boquct of
3ses, with vClvet foliage, and displays beneath
; an under jupc or petticoat of white satin, trimled
with a deep flounce of Alcncon lade. A
oquet of roses ornaments the front of the corige.
The sleeves are short and trimmed with
ouble pagedas of Aiencon lace, looped' up by
mall boquets of rose?.
The following is a description of a dress, havlg
a vest or jacket of the same material. The ^
icket may be worn or not, according as it is
fished to adapt the dress to neglige or full evenlg
costume. The dress consists of pearl gray
itin, figured with boquets of flowers in white
ilk. The corsage is low with a deep berthe
jrmed of guipure fringe on White and grey silk.- ?
'he jacket, which is worn open in front, has pa;oda
sleeves, reaching just between the elbow,
nd is trimmed with guipure fringe, like that
ornpoxing the berthe.
Tulle is, this season, a very favorite material
jr ball drosses, ror many sryies ox inmming
ullo is better adapted than any other texture,
wing to its superior lightness and transparency,
lany dresses of plain tulle have been trimmed
rith live flounces, scalloped, and edged with
ilk.
Some of the newest ball dresses have gold or
ilver intermiugled with the trimming. A dress
f cerulean blue tulle has been trimmed with
ounces, edged with a rvery light agreement in
Ivcr, surrounded by three rows of very narrow
Iver bi'aid. The front of the corsage, a la Louis
uinze, is trimmed with narrow frills of tulle,
.Igod with defitelle d'argent. The berthe is oramented
with a double row of dentolle d'argent.
lowers not according to this style of dress, the
riffures adopted ought to be feathers, or some
rnainent of jewelry.

Remonstrance against the Maine Liquor Law.

Sun, of the 9th instant, have despatched
