God is not found in mental din : A way He would more sweetly win? Oh, bring the King of Glory in! J* Believe thy heart. Error may come in robes of light Andlead thee in its sylvan path, Or wrongs may rise in feltered might, yi And ask a voice ef righteous wrath: But first learn silence; stay to think, { ' . And if thy burdened soul must sink, - From outward danger scorn to shrink; Utter thy heart Wouldst raze the castle that may screen The nested adders of the past: Or wouldst thou wreath it in the green Of reverent ivy clinging fast ?

After leaving Smyrnia, the passage through the Dardanelles' was delightful beyond anything in the course of mv vovagines in foreign lands. We are but a few miles from land on either side, and every island, every promontory and inch of terra firma above water, was classical ground:? the plain of ancient Troy?Mount Ida?the .great mounds over the remains of Achilles, Patroclus, ^Eneas, and Hecub?each of which mounds would yield, I doubt not, materials for a dissertation of great interest to the archaelogist, were they explored; for they remain, within precisely as they were left by those who made them. Without recounting the particulars of the wide scenes?the Hellespont, where Leander swam across to Hero?or the phases of character in the vessel, where there were praying Turks, smoking Arabs, veiled beauties enveloped in large white sheets, that no man should see them; Greeks in such breeches as are seen no where else; slaves, soldiers, officers, dervishes, monks; Germans, Italians, English, and French, all staring at each other as oddities both in physiognomy and dress?I must come directly to the busi ness of stating that i am now writing in Constantinople. No descriptions of the beauty of the scenery, the grandeur of the appearance on approaching the C/olden Horn from the sea of Marmorv, or the loftiness of the Mosque of St. Sophia, "iomes up to the real impression the first sight of the imposing array of public and private edifices makes on the mind. I shall not think of attempting any thing like a narrative of what is to be seen or what I have examined. The Turks never take a census, therefore the population of Constantinople cannot be ascertained ; yet it is conjectured to stand in the neighborhood of 850,000, and perhaps there may be more.? The city is far superior, within, to what I bad anticipated, from the relation of travellers and from personal experience in most of the great cities belonging to the Ottoman empire, which I have ranged over. Most of the streets are narrow and crooked, but being up hill and down, they are drained of the waste water thrown into them from dwellings. -Rains, too, clear thorn of offal, that in Cario, Jerusalem, Damascus, Alexandra, Rhodes. Cyprus, <fcc., <fcc., is a source of disease and perpetual offence. Some of them will admit of the movement of a carriage?but of all queer things, Constantinople coaches arc the most absurd contrivancesimaginable. They have no seat, but-contain two persons, who sit on the floor faciug each other, and are drawn by one horse, led by a driver. The body is carved and gilded atrociously. Horses, very plump and finely proportioned, are standing all the while at certain stations for hire. Donkeys are not patronized here, as every-where else in the East.? The water is alive with thousands of light long, narrow boats, called caiques?pronounced caiks ?appearing much as though they were made from a log. One man rows cross-handed, the voyagers sitting flat down. There is no safety without resigning one-self to the direction given on stepping in, as they roll over instanter if a raismoveinent occurs. Most of the walking for sight seeing is done in these boats. The bazars are so extensive?being miles upon upon miles in length were they strengthened into lines?that I have given over the intention of seeing them all. You travel hours together in narrow streets, lined with shops 011 either side, and covered over head by heavv arches?the light being admitted through glass windows. In all other Turkish and Arab bazaars, the streets are covered by mats, reeds, poles, and vinos, as they could bo procured. All the druggist wholesale dealers are together; and I. verily believe they are a medicine taking race, or it would be impossible that so many hundreds of these could be sustained. Each one has a sign by which his particular stall is known, instead of his name. Some have a miniature ship, another a miniature mosque, a third the head of an animal, a fourth a morter, a fifth a key, and so on. Then the shoemaker, silk twist dealers sword and pistol merchants?the latter very numerous.? Grocers make a feeble show, owing to the smallness of their stalls, and the exhibition of their stock, in baskets. It is usual for pretty exten siye dealers in many parts of Syria to keep all they have in straw baskets, or bag mats, quite exposed in the street, through the day. A five dojr Jar customer would clear out the establishment, and perhaps make the owner's fortune. A capi tal of ?10,000 is incomprehensible to these kind niiirclwuits?fhr that sum. well buried out of the reach of tfte government fmrpiers, would be thought an inexhaustible fortune for coming generations. One very'long bazaar is occupied on one side by pipe makers exclusively?where you not only sec more mouth peices than there are saints in the city of amber, glass, and pVecious woods but a pcrlect multitude of men sitting on the floor near the edge of the street, and turning out more pieces with bow laths. They hold the point of the chisel with the toes of either foot, just as pcriectly as we do with our hands. This educating of the muscle of feet, to give mechanics the advantage of four hands, instead of two, is an every day affair. I have often witnessed their expertncss in using tools between the great and second tne all nver the oarts of Asia which I have been vvv 1 viewing. Embroidery stalls are immensely numerous. All these people are fond of tinsel, la&- work on their clothes. The Merchant's Clerk axd the Plowroy. ?The young man who leaves the farm field for the merchant's desk or the lawyer's or doctor's office, thinking to dignify or ennoble his toils, makes a sad mistake, lie passes, by that step, from independence to vassalage. He barters naturally for an artificial pursuit, and must L _ .1 1-..^ ..e *V./?

The more artificial is a man's pursuit, the more debasing is it morally and phycally. To test it, contrast the merchants^ clerk and the plow-boy. Sho former may have most / - exterior polish, but the latter, under his rough ! outside posseses the true stimina. Ho is the ! freer, franker, happier, and nobler man. Would j that young men might judge of the dignity of labor by its usefulness and manliness, rather than by the superficial glosses it wears. Therefore, we never see a man's nobility in his kid gloves and toilet adornments, but in that sinewy arm, whose outline, browned by the sun betoken a hardy, honest toiler, under whose farmer or mechanic's vest kinglicst heart may beat, TTimfv Mf>>-rhnnPs Man/mine From the Soil of the South. A Treatise on the Culture of Corn. BY JAMES M. CHAMBEhC. For this crop, I lay it down as indispensably necessary, that the earth should be broken deep and thorougly. The process of preparation may vary with the nature of the soil. The time of planting, in this climate, where the summers are hot and long, and doughts frequent should be just as early as may be practicable, to escape the spring frosts, and the culture should be early and rapid. First, then, I say, the earth is to be pre pared by deep, close and thorough plowing. This is necessary, to give an opportunity to the small fibrous roojs, which are so numerous with this plant, to shoot out and penetrate the earth easily, to retain proper moisture when dry, and to absorb excess of moisture when wet. Next, I would secure deep and thorough breaking of the ear-h immediately about where the young roots first begin to spread, by a deep and close listing with some long plow; nothing in use among us is better for this operation than a well made Scoeter. This done, the opening furrow, checking across the list, in which to drop the seed, should be deep, and so wide as to stand ; well open, free from clods or turf; and the seeel corn being dropped in the check, then cover with the hoe, by drawing a small portion of loose earth upon ths seed which should, when planted, not have more than a depth of one and a half or two inches of earth upon it. I would put in three or four grains, where only one was to stand, esteeming it much better to thin than to replant, thereby securing an early, regular and good stand. As soon as the young corn was up, with about four blades, the first work should be given. My process would be to plow with a long Scooter or Coulter, running as near the corn as possible, without plowing it up, and breaking out the whole middle deep, close and thorough, leaving the whole bed soft and well pulverized. The Vinoc elinnlel fnllnw elrwe after thp nlows. clean ing the surface about the stalk, leaving no young grass or weeds, and returning enough soft earth to cover the roots of the corn a little deeper than they were before; and at this hoeing, I should thin out, ordinarily, all except the one stalk which was to l>e left to make the crop. In about twenty days, the plows should return again. At this time, if the plowing previously had been deep and thorough, I should not plow quite so deep as the first. But this also ought to be a deep plowing, and the middle of the row also to be well broke and pulverized. A small mould board ought to be attached to the plow, running next to the com, so as to place a greater depth of earth 011 the roots, thereby securing moisture and protection from the hot sun. Now is the time, when the roots are spreading rapidly and widely, seeking nourishment and moisture in the soft and well plowed soil. At this working, care utinnia l,o tnltnii-tlmt whf>n th<? work is done. each furrow should well fill up its predecessor, so so that every inch of earth should be broken, and no furrows in the bed should Ik? seen standing open to expose the roots as they shoot across, but all sbould lie smooth and soft. At this working, the hoes should also follow, cleaning any hills which the plow should have slighted, straightening up the bent stalks, pulling out any surplus stalks or suckers, and cleaning round the stumps and trees. Care should be taken at this working to leave no grass or weeds near the stalk. If the plows have faithfully performed their duty, but little will remain for the hoes to do. The corn will now be sufficiently large to bear the dirt, and a good plowman with a well fixed plow, will throw the soft earth around the root of the stalk, covering up most of the grass, which as yet must l>e very small and young, and sufficiently hilling the corn, leaving the work nearly complete without the aid of the hoe. In these workings, I would greatly prefer that the earth should be in a moist state, but regard it unsafe to delay the work, more than a few days at most, to wait for just such seasons as would bo preferred. As a general rule, in the cultivation of the crop* it is not best to regard the seasons too much, but move directly and energetically forward, leaving the results to be controlled by Ilim who "giveth the early and the latter rain." About three weeks after this working, the third and last should be given. The operation of laying by corn Is one requiring more discretion and judgment, usually, than any other, and much after all must be left to the judgment of the planter, dependent upon the circumstance of the case. It would sometimes happen that it had been dry, and everything standing as when left; at another time, hard rains will have ensued, and all the former plowing have been undone, the land washed and settled hard and close again. What to do, and how to do, must be determined very much by the necessity and circumstances of the case. If the seasons had been ordinary, plow shallow and not very close, leave the surface of the bed smooth and soft, without having torn the roots of the com much. The weather is now hot, and the roots of the corn matted and spread thick through all the earth Irom row to row. The stalk needs all the nourishment and support which the roots can give, and it is at great hazard now to cut off ttw'sn snnnlies. ITonrn the neeessitv of those early, rapid and thorough workings, which I havo recommended, before the- roots have so spread out; before the weather has become so hot; and beforo the stalk, now sappy, needs so much support. As I have previously remarked, I now repeat, this crop must be worked rapidly and thoroughly. It will not do to let the young corn stop growing, or the stalk ever become hard. It must be pushed from the beginning, and if ample justice has not been done in the earlier workings, it is in vain to hope by later workings, to reclaim and make good a corn crop which has been permitted to suffer in the earlier part of the season. The roots of corn grow upon the stalk, and arc all the while seeking the surface? hence the necessity of adding more earth.1*1 At the last working, if I wanted to make the -mv.n norfiii't T wnuM nase nvpr with thp hops x..?r .^v, - ..w_, v after the plows, clean out every thing, pull off suckers, straighten up the bent stalks, and draw some more earth around ihe root of the corn, giving greater protection against the scorching heat of the sun, and retaining moisture longer about the root. My opinion is, if proper attention has been given in throwing dirt to the stalk in former workings, that not a great deal remains to be done in that way at the laying by. It remains now for something to be said about distances of rows, number of stalks, hill and drill corn, <fec. Taking the common lands of our country for my basis, and it is perhaps best, in a treatise of this sort, to select a medium grade. I would give my preference to hill corn, rather than drilled, and to one stalk in preference to two, in the hill. I would have the hills four and a half feet one wuy and three and a half the other, and leave one stalk in eachjiill. The first plowing should be the narrow way, the two last the wide way of the rows. My objection to drill corn, is founded mainly in the difficulty in getting the stand uniform in the distance of the stalks from each other, and I think it requires a little more labor in its cultivation. My objections to the two stocks in the hill are, the one stalk is better fed and sustained when standing alone, than two would be thrown together to seek their supplies from thesame space of earth; that consequently more vigor will be imparted to one than could be to the two; that in time of drought the two will s lfier more than the one; that the two stalked com cannot be worked so conveniently worked either with the plow or hoe, and will not produce such large ears. I admit there maybe frequently, perhaps generally more in number, but the cars of one stalk will he uniformly larger, the yield as great, and the quality of the corn better. On river bottoms, where the lands are richer, more stalks may be crowded upon the lands : more and different workings may be required; and of course the plan should be so varied as to suit the circumstances of each case. It will be borne in mind that my theory is made out to suit the medium -average lancU of the country. In the close, I would remark that I have written for practical men, have presented facts, rather than scientific theories, and if there is any merit in my thoughts, the plan is easy of comprehension and adoption by the great body of planters. In the selection of seed, I have only to add, that I like that corn which has least cob and most grain, and would select those ears which have deep, long grains. I have no doubt that,much improvement may be made by a judicious selection of the seed for corn planting; by selecting from the field those ears where two may be found on the same stalk, and where the ears are large, well matured, and well tilled. The benefit of this plan has been very fully demonstrated. It will be found, however, to be true, that almost in the same proportion jis the number of cars are mnltiplied their size will be diminished. Between these two extremes will therefore be found the best seed, and the best guide for its selection. As to the varieties of corn cultivated in this country, my preference is for that which seems to have fallen in as a 6ort of medium, betwixt the old gourd seed and the flint, possessing the peculiar qualities of neitner, but a sort of combination of both. I might enlarge this treatise by speaking of the kinds and methods of manuring, but as that properly constitutes a separate branch and our society have called for a separate treatise on the application of manures, I shall not trespass upon your patience by adding more. IIiLLixG Crops.?Hilling, ridging, and moul-i: ? .1 1. ?..?i Ul'Jg up plains, mum;u luc twj;ciiciai piuupivAr from time immemorial, is sis much opposed to reason and observation as it is to the economy or nature, and these ought to govern all our ag. . . ? ricultural pursuits. It is a practice only serviceable to celery, or other plants which require to be blanched. This mistaken practice compels the plants to form a new set of roots, as often as they are hilled up. This injures the growth of the plants. It is also exactly calculated to carry otf rains and produce artificial droughts. A level cultivation, which is the best, should only be indeed enough to extirpate weeds. Ridgingand cutting the loots of the plants with the plow, although very commonly done, is undoubtedly an injurious practice. The hoe and cultivator are the best instruments, for cleaning crops.

She litis a number of very tine young daughters, who want large fortunes; and the sales ' of the island to the United States, for a hundred millions of dollars, would enable her to marry 1'4 them off to some of the princes and royal bloods ' ? of Europe, with great eclat and splendor. '?% Spiritual Knowledge.?There is not so much need of learning as of grace to apprehend those _ f" things which concern our everlasting peace; neU . ther is it our brain that must be set to'work, but our nearc. nowever excellent tne use 01 scuoiarship, in all the sacred employments, of divinityv yet in the main act which imparts salvation, skill must give place to affection.

Ye all wise and ye great wise, while ye spend yourselves in curious questions, and learned extravagancies, ye shall '-^53 find one touch of Christ more worth to your ;y|j$ souls, than all your deep and laborious discussion. In vain shall ye seek for this in your books, if ye miss it in your bosoms. If you.knojv all things and cannot say, "I know whom I have believed," you have but knowledge enough to? ::'. ^ yourselves completely miserable.^ The deep mysteries of Godliness, which to the great clerks _ ' Iv of the world are as a book clasped and sealed up, .. 'j;i lie open before him, (the pious and devout man,) - | fur and legible; and while those book men, know whom they have heard of, he knows "whom he hath believed." The truth of Christianity, says a pious author, "is the spirit of God, living and working it it, and whon the spirit:is not the life of it, then the outward form is but like^ttie carcase of a dead soul." Divinity has certainly been confused and perplexed by the learned. It -r.; requires to be disentangled and simplified. . It ; appears to me to consist in this single point? the restoration of the divine life, the image of God, lost and defaced by the fall, by the operation of the Holy Ghost. When this is restored, every other advantage of Christianity follows in course. Pure morals are absolutelyTfecessary to ^ the reception of the Holy Ghost, and ah una- > voidable consequence of his continuance.

It is shown in the intellectual advancement and ameliorated nhvsical condition of the race, in the relaxation of legal restraints, the in' creasing mildness of crimiral codes, the decrease of crime itself, the multiplied efforts of an en* lightened benevolence, the growing tendency to give a liberal character to national institutions, the diffusion of an honest sympathy with the : ? ' v oppressed, the unfortunate and the employment of active measures appropriate to their relief.? For all of that superiority which the present age and the nations of Christendom may exhibit over the pa?t, they are indebted to the increasing light of the Sun of Righteousness, as'it rises towards the zenith with healing in its wings and to the clearer discernment and heartier appro ..r i.i.. j 2. i 2 ^ 2 pnauou ui me w lsuom anu anowieuge 01 uoa imparted in the Scriptures. Cruelty of Japanese to American Sailors. ?Philadelphia, June 14th.?The barque Eureka from Canton brings accounts of cruel treatment inflicted by th 3 Japanese on some shipwreck American sailors. The whaling ship Lawrence of Poughkeepsie was wrecked on May 28th, 1846, on a reef of rocks 300 miles off the coast of Japan. The crew left for the coast in three \ bo; ts but got separated. One boat reached Japan safely after a voyage of 7 days, but her crew were immediately seized and put iuto cages similar to those used for wild beasts. They were kept there for nearly a year in a half starved condition, and then transported to the Dutch settlement down the coast and put into prison. After two months thev were brought before the chiefs, who tried them fur daring to approach land and threatened to behead them, supposing them to be Englishmen, against whom they Hit bittgr animosity. They explained that they were Americans and nothing more was said, but they were compelled to teample under foot a a cross bearing the image of the Saviour under threat of being massacreed. They were confined two days more and then put on board a Dutch ship for Batavia, where they arrived in December, 1847. While in prison, Thomas Williams made his escape, but was brought back wounded, and died in chains. They heard of several Englishmen under similar confinement, The name* of those saved are Geo. liar, fid mate; Peter Williams, Henry Spencer and Murphy Welle, caroenter.
