Night o'er the stormy sea
Her dusky wing unfurls;
The tempest's revelry
The stout ship wildly whirls;
And clouds like goblins grim
Frown round those gallant men?
Hope's light is growing dim
Ne'er to revive again!
The lightning fiercely leaps
From sky to sea of fire,
The wrathful thunder sweeps
Its wierd and giant lyre?
The streaming sails are rent,
The masts now groan, now fall?
Darkness is fitly sent,
The wreck'd ship's funeral pall!
The waves are dashing higher?
The faithful plank is broken;
One flash?their bark, their pyre?
Few farewell words are spoken,?
Sea-monsters wistfully
Await their death doomed prey?
Their ship, the sea, the sky,
All blazing fade away !
God save those valiant hearts!
Sunk in the treacherous waves,
Their gapping breath departs, j
And nameless are their graves. !
The .vailing winds their dirge,
Are hymning mournfully;
The bounding billow surge
Morn from that drear, dark night,
Wakes radiant and fair,
Wide streams her rosy light?
Nor storm, nor ship is there;
No ripple marks the spot
Where men so madly strove?
Her death-fraught rage forgot
All nature smiles with love!
So many a mariner
On Passion's sea is tossed ;
And in the stormy stir,
Now struggles?now is lost;
But life whirls gaily on,
Unmindful of his fate?
Not all the bad are gone?
Not all the good are great!

MEMORY.
iSoft as rays of sunlight stealing
On the dying day;
3weet as chimes ot low bells pealing
When eve fades away ;
'Sad as winds at night that moan
Through the heath o'er mountain lone,
Come the thoughts of days now gone
On manhood's memory.
Ah the sunbeams from the heaven
Hide at eve their light;
And the bells when fades the even
r Peals not on the night;
As the night winds cease to sigh
"When the rain falls from the sky,
'Pass the thoughts of days gone by
From age's memory.
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,
-And'the bells give sweet voiced warning
'To the world to wake.
iSoon the winds snail iresniy oreame ;
O'er the mountain's purple heath ;
But the path is lost iu death?
f He bath no memory.
% Life Insurance.?A bill is now before the
{Pennsylvania House of Representatives to regulate
the business of life insurance. It requires
full detailed statements of the bnsiness and re
sources of all the companies taking risks within
the commonwealth, whether domestic or foreign.
Whenever it shall appear from these
statements that the assets (not including premium
notes) of any such company, are not sufficient
to insure the outstanding risks, the Secretary
of State shall communicate such fact to the
\ .'Attorney General, whose duty it will then be^ome
to apply to the Supreme Court of an or der,
requiring the company to show cause why
its business should not bo closed. The companies
are also required to deposite fifty thousand
dollars in stocks on approved mortgages, with
the Secretary of State, as security for the faithful
performance of their obligations.
Ex-Governor Young, of New York, died at
Albany on the 23d inst.
TEMPTATION. lc
HOW FEW KNOW THEMSELVES. m
"lead us not into temptation." ot
It is a common infirmity with human nature s?
to denounce in others, errors and shortcomings, .
acts of ommission or commission, to which all
! are more or less liable, and which the very com- y
plainer would have committed or indulged under
similar circumstances. It is an easy thing, comparatively
speaking, for a man to be correct, ri -v
' gid and upright, who is compelled thereto by w
the necessities of the case, or who is not placed n<
within the reach of temptation. There is little w
e 1 _ i.. . 1 x ci
merit, ior example, to me temperance ui <*u individual,
who has never been thrown into gay
society, who has a constitutional distaste for all
j that intoxicates, or who has been trained from
early youth to avoid as little less than poison, P
the inebriating bowl. And so, too, with many a
other weaknesses or vices. In order to judge of 1
ourselves and of others fairly and justly, we should ar
take all the circumstances together, the disposition,
the education, the society, and the terapta- v*
tious generally. Many men become dizzy by
prosperity, and from a very excess of spirits aud 8P
' ' 11 i ? rui DT
generous teeungs iau an easy prey, umere are *
the victims of credulity. They are 'played upon'
by the specious, the able, and the beguiling, and <.u
are thus won to ruin. Let no one assume to J1
himself superior powers of moral resistance.? 8?
Let no one who has not been subjected to the c.11
fiery ordeal, imagine that he could resist this
species of fanaticism, or that of social indulgence.
Let no one in mere arrogance and selfconeeit, ^
cherish the delusion that he is the sole master of
himself?that he understands all his follies and j>
frailties, that he can curb and control himself
under any and all circumstances?and that he
has therelore no reason to appeal to a superior
power. The wisest sometimes commit frightful ,n<
errors, while there does not breathe throughout 8n
the length and breadth of the world we live in, hc
an individual, be he high or low, so self-poised,
clearminded and true-hearted, as to be beyond "
the reach of temptation in all cases?the temp- 1
tation, we mean, not only of honor, and of power
and of affluence?but of feeling, passion, prejuj:?
*?l?u:. i r. ?i r.
uiue, taste, uaun anu uujvy iiieuu it is uiciuiuie
that a due degree of liberality and forbearance
should be exercised, when adverting to the missteps,
the delusions, the downfall of others. And P"
yet the world, generally speaking, is sadly dis- *1V
posed to pronounce harsh and rash judgments.?
The idol of to-day, if in the enjoyment of power,
is lauded and flattered in a thousand forms.
But topple him from his position, take from him e(*
his magic wand of influence, reduce him down to
the common level, and associate with his name, ?al
some error, weakness, or delinquency?the fruit, '1V
perhaps, of some sudden and trying moment of
temptation, and the very men who before bowed, lal
fawned and cringed before him, were proud of l'1(
his acquaintance, and gloried in his position, are
alas! too often among the first to revile, assail 'at
and exagerate his error. They spring uj*on ou
hitu with all the fury of ingratitude, and seem to 10
gloat over his downfall and his ruin. They do wr
not pause to discover paliatives or explanations, en
but, on the contrary, affirm that they "long ow
suspected him, and that he has only realized "I1
their apprehensions." He is contemned and de- ne
nounced, and the bitterness of his position is ren- an
dered still more wretched hv the melancholv to
fact to which we have adverted! Alas! for the 1S
heartlessness of the world!" True, there are exceptions?noble,
generous, and magnanimous; ou
but they are few and far between. nc
'Lead us not into temptation,' is a prayer arl
that we should have constantly, not only on our nc
lips, but in our hearts. The dreams of ambition sai
are fu'l of fascination. They dazzle, bewilder,
and too often betray. How frightful arc the he
examples exhibited in the pages of history!? ^e
How many have mistaken false or true ambition
?and in an effort to obtain power and occupy ^
position, have trampled upon truth and right, k
aye?imbrued their hands in the blood of their "e
fellow creatures, The desire for gain, the year- ^
ning passion of avarice, is beset with a thousand ^
temptations. It absorbs all other considerations. a'
The right and the manly are forgotten?all the
gentler and finer emotions are lost sight of, and
the wretched worshipper of Mammon becomes ^
reckless, heartless, and sordid. The passion with W1
him is all-powerful, the golden bubble excites w<
and maddens. He worships money as a god,
and is almost unconscious of the infatuation.? hi
It lures him on from step to step, and in many aP
cases, health, and in some even life itself is sacri 8<1
ficed. But the world is full of temptations.? ^
They are around us in every form. Scarcely a [ ^
day goes by, that the public journals are not |9
onllcd linon to chronicle victim* Tnrmirc into m
the particulars, and it will be ascertained that jd
some gorgeous speculation dazzled for the mo- m
ment, won the sanguine and the eager from the
ordinary pursuits of life, and thus tempted to nc
ruin! How many have fancied that they could ^
go into the Stock market, watch the ups and
downs with eyes of more than ordinary intelli- 210
gence, could detect the causes of the various fluetuations,
the secret springs of action, and thus
profitting by their superior sagacity, speedily en- Wl
rich themselves. Alas! the fortunate in this P*
hazardous field, are as one in a thousand; while tr
the ruined may be pointed out by hundreds and ^
hundreds. The very success in the first case, P1
tempts the infatuated to plunge on still more w
/lo^nlv anrl Kf?nOP. thft finnl HisnnUr i? nnlv H3
more fearful. ee
Of course, at the commencement, the deter- m
mination is to be especially cautious, to avoid
any extraordinary risk, and to shrink back from 'u
the abyss, long before anv thing like an ap- ^
proach to its brink. But the delirium increases hi
gradually, the excitement deepens with the
chances of the time, and thus the poor victim tr
discovers that he is inextricably involved, only 01
when it is too late to retrance his footsteejm.?
Then the bitterness of self reproach is sure to ai
follow. Had he only been satisfied with a mod- c<
erate position?had he but adhered to his regular
avocation?had he but resisted the first si- ?
nt voice of temptation! What folly?what
adness?how bitter the penalty! And yet,
hers daily and hourly may be seen treading the
,mc path, and engaged in the same fearful
jk. But there is, perhaps, no sphere of life so
11 of temptations as one of idleness. The
ind unemployed becomes restless and impatient,
isionary schemes and bubbles present themlves?gay
and artful companions are constantat
hand?vicious habits are imbibed, and
reck and ruin are almost inevitable. At first,
> danger is apprehended ; and yet, we repeat,
e are all to some extent, ihe creatures of cirimstances,
We may be moderate and prudent
d temperate and correct, if compelled to such
policy by our position in life?by the necessity
imposed upon us of being constantly cm
oyea, aim by the pressing responsibilities ot a
rnily. But let us change the scene. Let us
tve abundant leisure and abundant means,
id thus be subjected to many extraordinary
mptations. Or, let us be reduced to the very
irge of anguish and despair, by the treachery
some friend, or the madness of some wild
cculation ; and then, let temptation come with
offers of relief?nay, of sudden wealth, if we
ake but one more bold effort?if we but venre
upon yet another daring experiment. Alas
idge not, lest ye be judged.' Let him who
indeth, take heed lest he fall.' Let us, if our
rcumstances in life have thus far been compar,*ely
easy and pleasant?if in our wanderings
3 have been able to resist the little temptations
at beset us?if we are still in the enloyment
integrity and charity?let us be merciful and
nerous towards such of the sons of men as
ive been tempted in an hour evil to comit
some fatal error?an hour of madness when
ey were betrayed by the excitements of the
Dment?let us be mild and merciful forbearing
d forgiving. For the time may come, either
re or hereafter, when we may feel the necessiof
like generosity?when we may be compcl1
to appeal to and rely upon the clemency of
e Great Judge of Heaven and Earth ?

Perfection in Living.
How few understand the art of living hapy!
And is it not strange, when so many have
ed before us, and we might derive the advance
of their experience, that after all we so fail
attaining the des: rable end 1 We begin wrong,
d then keep on wrong, and of course are doom
to end wrong. Take for example a newly
irried pair. The enquiry is not often 4 what
a we afford, and how can we best consistently
e V but1 what can I induce my father to give
5 ? how handsome an outfit can I possibly obn
??The Brussels carpets and long mirrors iu
6 houses of the affluent, did not always hang
are. There was a tedious process of accumuion
before sufficient was earned to justify the
tlay. The old man, ten chances to one, sailed
foreign lands, encountered storms and ship eck,
but not disheartened, still pursued his
lploymcnt, and at length became a successful
ner and retired from his exposed condition
on the waves. But he has a daughter?she
vcr knew of her mother's anxieties, lest master
d cargo should be lost; for she was too young
be distressed with imaginary troubles. She
to be married; and this same hard earned
aney is freely expended, and the new mansion
tvies the old one; but, alas, we fear the expemce
of that toiling pair is wanting to learn the
t of living rightly. The idea that' father is
:h and I shall never want,' has ruined thou
UU3.
There, too, is the opulent merehaut Was
always so ? iSonie may tell you he once trail
in a very small way, but they remember too
w carefully he kept an eye to his accounts,
at expenditures should not exceed the income,
the son pursuiug the same course ? Where
rides, the father walked. When the father
gan life, the evenings were not spent at theajs
nor amusements, but in a snug corner with
little square table before a small fire, he used
4 figure up' how much he could afford to purase
for the enlargement of his stock; and
en his prudent wife was willing to dispense
th all useless finery. How is it now! Ho is
)rth two hundred thousand ! Does he enjoy
ore at the marble table, when the son is vexing
m to know if he may not go abroad, as an
ology for doing nothing, than at that little
uare one where only one candle shone upon
9 Day Book and Ledger ? He will tell you,
Jut Frank must be indulged.' and the money
launched out which will unfit him for a busy,
dustrious, happy life. Travelling merely to be
le, never benehtted anybody; for they are too
dolent to improve.
Things that are had for the mere asking, are
>t prized like those for which we have toiled,
is a miserable notion that we must shield chilcn
from knowing how to labor?aye, and from
:tual labor. They never can know happiness,
iey never will live well.
When shall we learn that it is not what is
ithout, but what is within, that gives the true
iifection of living I 1 really believe tbe wnoie
ouble lies in doing rather than overdoing,
^hen 1 see people so vexed bv'cause they cannot
ocure some one to do for them what they
ould feel all the better for doing themselves,
y envy for the wealth occasions the torment,
ased. The fretfulness of the present day is
uch on the increase, simply because we are so
epcndant on others. The multiplication of
xuries, makes the multiplication of servants,
/e overload our tables, and at the same time
tve a distaste for viands which no ^oil has
veetened. The poor body is put under 44 elecic
shocks," because our nerves are too weak to
.'ersee our cook or direct our chambermaid.
We are forced to ride where we should walk,
id then complain of the inattention of the
lachman, and scold him about his carelessness.
Getting one's living" is considered vulgar, and
? no passport to good society is furnished peo
pie who work, is it any wonder so many are striving
to be gentlemen and ladies ? This causes
the clerk to lay out all bis salary (it is well if he
docs not more) in imitation of the rich man's
son who dresses no better than he?and the
little shop girl foregoes many comforts, that she
may secure a silk dress like a customer's. With
these perverted views, where are we to end ?
Who will make the next generation ? Truly
we shall never attain to any perfection in living,
until urn loom t/\ lu> nu in/Jtinnnrlnnt na rmccihlo
Ullblt II V IVWI M UV W U'J lUUV/j/VUMVUW CM j/V'AJl w?v
of others. Let us ask with a manly courage,
can I afford to do thus and so ? Will it dignify
my character to yield to this silly temptation ?
Shall I gain the esteem of the truly worthy by
these false shows ? Give a bold thoughtful attention
to these things, and be guided by the
answer; for the perfection of living is beginning
to live rightly.
Reasons why Cotton should not be
Planted Early.
In favorable localities South of this the work
of pointing Cotton may have already commenced,
and it was probably judicious to have done
so. Our remarks do not, therefore, apply to
such cases. We have been the advocates of
early planting, acting upon the common supposition
that what we could borrow from the spring,
was to be put down as clear gain to the Cotton
crop?giving the whole benefit of the season for
maturing and perfecting the crop. This theory
carried with it so much plausibility as to induce
very little inquiry as to its soundness, and pretty
much all have acted upon it without questioning
its propriety. We have long done so.
But we will take occasion here to say, that doubts
have arisen, and the inclinations of our mind are
rather against these suppositions. If the Cotton
was indeed making aud maturing all the
time, from its start until it was terminated by
frost, then would this be sound reasoning. But
is this so? Who has not remarked, in almost
all seasons, suspensions in this process ? The
making in mid season almost stopped, or on
crops of more constant and rapid maturity, terminated
long before the killing frost. These
occurrences demonstrate that the whole season
is not appropriated by the plant in maturing
but that suspensions often occur, and that the
process of making frequently terminates before
the end of the season. With these facts before
us, the question arises as to the necestity or the
propriety of seeking to start a plant so tender
and delicate as that of Cotton, before the coming
i
of the warm sun, so congenial to its nature, or
the cessation of the cold, chilly nights, so blighting
and sickening to this feeble plant. Who
that has tried his hand upon a pojr, burry,
longhaired stunted pig, and found how difficult
has been the task to cure, by after kindness, the
injury sustained by former backsets, has not arrived
at the conclusion that a better hog may be
made from a younger pig, placed under kind
treatment and genial influences from the start ?
The analog)' may not be perfect, but we think
the illustration is ; and that the demonstration
in the animal, is fair in its application to the
vegetable kingdom. But we need not go so far,
or introduce inappropriate analogies, for the solution
of our problem. We may take the
dwarfish, damaged shrub or tree, and let it be
placed, with the same advantages, side by side
with the vigorous, healthy shoot, and mark the
result. The one has to repair its damages, and
regain its losses, while the other moves on in
vigorous, healthy growth. Thus it may be, and
thus wo thing it often is, with Cotton planted
before the arrival of seasons suited to start and
i??? i)..r? *L:.. u
ring II Oil. jjciurc tuia, I|> mny wiuc uj;, ?uu
it may so far resist these unfriendly influences as
to live and grow after a while,. But these hold
it in check, hinder it from growing off soon, and
make it a fit victim for lice, or any thing else,
seeking a feeble subject upon which to prey.
The suggestion which we make is, (and we
will not ask for it more than a bare suggestion,)
would it not be better to wait a little longer, secure
a vigorous, long stemmed plant, with seasons
which would move it off at once, than take
the chances to have it checked and stunted at
the start, to be cured and recovered from these
ravages before it can be started to growing. But
our plan is objected to, perhaps, because it comes
in contact with the long re-established custom of
delaying until after the Cotton is planted to give
the Corn its first work. But why wait ? Work
the Corn as soon, as it will do, and you have the
time to spare. It will be much to the benefit of
this crop if it could all be worked at least enough
to stir and loosen the earth about the roots, before
planting the Cotton. Indeed this is the
very change which we propose?that the Corn
shall all be sided with the plow and addressed
(but not thinned) with the hoe before the Cotton
is planted, it is at this point that we look
for great gain in its benefits to the Corn, and in
the lightening of labor, in making whole crops,
and this without sacratice to the Cotton. The
corn will thus be started to grow earlier, and after
the Cotton is planted, and before it is up
large ouough for work, the whole corn crop may
be thoroughly plowed, hoed, and thinned, leaving
comparatively little more to be done to that,
and nearly all the after time and labor to be appropriated
to the cotton crop. There is but a
single objectiou (and that one is contingent,)
which can apply to this plan. The stand of corn
may not be obtained sumcieni eariy to receive
the work which wo recommended, before planting
cotton. Still we think all things considered,
it is worthy of adoption, either as a whole, or
in part. If the corn crop can be started, and
most of the important and hard work in its culture
can be done before the cotton comes in, certainly
much is gained for the corn, and the labor
necessary for the cotton, greatly strengthened
by concentrating so large a portion of it upon
this crop. Our plan in detail is this: In this latitude,
that corn be planted the last of February;
slightly worked by siding with the plow, and
dressed but not thinned, with the hoe, the last
woek in March and first week in April; after
which, say from the fifth to the tenth of April,
begin to plant cotton, and as that is done, ^ive
the whole corn crop a thorough plowing, hoeing,
and thinning. Iu three weeks or twenty-five
days, let it have another plowing, and slightly
hoed, if need be, for the purpose of leaving it
perfectly clean, and no more work will be required
on ordinary lands and favorable oeason.?
The whole, or nearly all of the hoe work may be
thus appropriated to the one object of cultivating
of the cotton crop and the plow to be withdrawn
for but a short time. Casualties may arise
to thwart this plan, and as much may be
said of all the best laid schemes of man. It may
be objected, also, that the com crop will be disposed
of too early. This, we admit may sometimes
happen. When such cases arise, another slight
working must be given with the plow. At the
last plowing let ten or twelve quarts of peas to
the acre be sowed broad-cast. But we think
vorv often the final plowing rai^ht be given at
the time which we have first designated, without
loss in the product of this crop. After corn is
waist high, and the roots spreading out across
the row, if the ground is well plowed then, and
the com perfectly clean it is exceedingly doubtful
whether it is ever benefitted, and we are sure
it is often injured by after plowing*.

To Remove Bots from Horse*.
Last summer as some young china trees
{Melia Azadaraeh) reared their tops above the
tops of the paillings by my horse lot, I discovered
too late to save the tree, that odo of ray
horses was eating of it, being busily engaged in
the duties of my profession, I drove the horse
some ten miles that evening and was surprised
to see at every evacuation from the bowels, the
large number of bots, or grubs and small worms
which was passed off Knowing the anthelmintic
properties of the china tree, I was led to attribute
the effect at once, to it, so I gathered

same effect; I also notice my horses improved
in their appearance, <fcc. I have since tried the
above, and alwavs with certain good effect.

Premature Burial.?The Albany Register
in the course of an article on this subject, relates
i the following instance, of which the editor wai
perfectly cognizant:
Sonic years ago, we were perfectly cognizant
to an occurrance of this kind, which was of the
most heart-rendering character. The wife of m
gentleman was taken suddenly ill in church, and
was carried to her home in a state of syncope.?
In a few hours she partialiy recovered, but imme
| diately relapsed and never again snowed any
; signs of consciousness. She lay in this condition
I nearly two days, baffling ths skill of the physi!
cians, and then, as it was thought and as there
! was almost every reason to believe, died. No
| signs of breathing could be detected, the limbs
I becams rigid and cold and the eyes remained
I open with the fixed and glassy stare of death; but
: there was no change in the color of the skin.?
l This was the only reason in the world for supI
posing that dissolution had not taken place,
j The poor bereaved husband, almost frantic at
I the loss of the young and beautiful wife who he
; almost idolized, clung with desperation to the
hope liuined in her face, and long resisted the
unanimous decision of the physicians, that she
was certainly dead. They told him, what is
doubtless true, that it sometimes though very
rarely, happens, that there is no discoloration for
days and even weeks afrer dissolution has taken
place. But still he resisted, and it was not until
three days had passed without the faintest
signal of change or sign of life, that he finally
gave up and suffered the burial to take place.?
She was eutomed in a vault. Months passed.?
A cemetry having been laid out, the husband
purchased and beautified a lot, erected an elegant
monument in it, and when all was ready,
superintended the removal of the body of his wife
from the vault to its final resisting place.
When the vault was opened he remembered
the circumstances of death, above, detailed, and
a desire suddenly seized him to once more behold
the corpse. By his direction the coffin laid
was removed. The spectacle which presented
itself was inconceivably horrible, for it showed
that she bad been buried alive. She had turned
quite over upon her side, she had clutched
her nails iDto the coffin until her fingers had
bled, portions of her grave cloths were torn, and
in her horrible struggles she had contrived to
carry her hand to her head and had plucked
from it a mass of hair, with portions of the cap
that covered it.
The poor man never recovered from the shock
of that awful spectacle. He was borne away
senseless, and for the rest of his weary life wm
an utterly broken and miserable being.
Saturday Evening.?Reader, do not let this
season pass without some profitable reflections
Carefully review the week, sum up the blessing*
you have received from a Father, whose provident
care has kept you in life, in health aDd in
comfort, while others, every way your equals
and perhaps your superiors, have been prematurely
cut off, or snared to live in misery*?
Think of this think of it with gratitude. Calmly
and carefully review the transactions of the
week. Have you habitually controlled your
temper and your tongue 1 Have you been industrious
and frugal i Have you thought of
the poor and inffirm, and the extent of yourabiliwJi.ued
them! Have you labored to

acquired or imparted any useful knowledge f?.
Have you answered any of the great and important
ends of your existence! Look these questions
in the face; answer them honestly and
without evasion?and your sleep will be more
quiet and your future life better than vour
past.
