FRIENDS.?Reader, if you have a valued Friend,
in whose welfare you feel an interest, that friend
will prize, as a precious memorial, your Daguerreotype
V Miniature, if taken in Squier's peculiar style.
PARENTS.?If you are still blessed with Parents,
and no Artist's Pencil has or can truly trace the lineaments
of his or her familiar face or form, you may well
act the part of wisdom to advise or persuade them to
visit, without delay, Squier's Daguerreotype Rooms,
and havo their Miniatures taken in his superior style
of art.
TO ALL.?IIow many have lo t a Father, a Mother,
a Sister, a Brother, or an innocent prattling child, and
have not even the shadow of a resemblance to look upon.
After the separation, some "little toy" or trifling
article is often kept for j'ears, and cherished as a token
of remembrance. How much more valuable would he
one of Squier's perfect Daguerreotype Miniatures of the
"loved and lost."
L There is scarcely any one who does noi tawc pleasure
in gazing on the feat urea of a friend, and; when that
friend has been removed by death, we often hear the
exclamation uttered with an expression of deep regret,
k " Oh, what would I not give for such a picture of my
friend.''
Reader, perhaps you cannot do a better thing, while
your mind is upon the subject, than take au hour or
two now, and visit the gallery; then you may. at sonic
future period, have reason to feel grateful for these
"Gentle Hints" from
SQUIKR'S DAGUERRT5AN GALLERY.

THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE.
BY WINNIE W00DFERN.
My school desk!?it is many a year
Since in this little room
I lingered o'er my tiresome task,
And longed for noon to come,
Or watched the lengthening shadows creep
Along the dusty I'.oor,
s And tried to catch one golden gleam
Of sunlight through the door.
Here in this place I cut my name?
I fondly hoped 'twould last!
. Another hand has quite effaced
, The records of the past!
But on ihe time-worn window sill
[ The very words remain,
In which I strove to paint my love
For charming "Mary Jane."
r
Methinks Isee the fairy now,
Witli curls of golden hue,
1 A mouth all dimpled into smiles,
And eyes of softest blue.
I have a sunny curl I stole
Of that same golden hair,
Alas, romance ! for Mary now,
Is "forty, fat and fair!"
My schoolmates ! they are scattered,
And some have "gone before !"
i Oh, would I were a happy child,
Beside that desk once more !
Where is the man who would not live
IJis boyhood o'er again?
Who has no memory in his heart
Of some sweet Mary Jane !
A KISS BY MALL.
You send mc, lady, by the mail,
A joyless, cheerless kiss?
But how can sucLa kiss avail,
To touch my lip with bliss?

Stone cold shall ever be,
That fruit has nought tny taste to please,
Save?gathered from the tree.
From the Soil of Hie South.

i Of all the months in the rolling year, this i
the most important to the horticulturist. Uu
inasmuch as men do not immediately enjoy th
fruit of their labors, they putoft' till spring whn
should be done in October. The tree that i
planted now, does not show the expanded lea
or the opening blossom; but there is an unset;
process going on uuaer gr^mta, no i^>~n wij^i
i taut. The rootlet's arc preparing tlieirtliotisam
mouths to feed those verv buds and leaves whicl
the cultivator is so anxious to see; and when th
spring does open, the tree expands at once int
form and beauty, and grows off with a vigo
which a spring planted tree can never have?mr

Bottom Lands.
The disastrous freshets which we have had for
the last three years in the month of August,
must by this time have convinced our farmers,
that their bottom lands are not to be depended !
upon for the successful production of corn.? i
Since the year 1845, universally known through- 1
out the State as the dry year, in which the few !1
bottoms iu cultivation almost saved the District i 1
from starvation, great attention has been paid to J 1
them. Every nook and corner susceptible of.1
improvement has been cleared up and brought j 1
into cultivation. To this we do not object, but 1
on the contrary, think it has contributed much 1
to the beauty and health of the country, and we (
are sorry we cannot add to its wealth also.?
With the propability of the failure of the corn 1
crop, almost all the bottoms that have been
brought into Use have been invariably planted '
in corn, and notwithstanding the time, trouble 1
and expense incurred in their cultivation, our 1
fanners have invariably had the mortification of !
seeing their most luxuriant crop, and in many
instances their main depeudancc, seriously, if not 1
remcdilessly injured by destructive freshets. '
Now is there no remedy for this ? We answer 1
there is, and in our opinion an exceedingly sim- 1
pie one. The most careless observer cannot have 1
failed to notice that for many years back, all the '
heavy rains have occurred in the fall. If our '
farmers then, instead of planting their lands lia- '

in small grain, the crop would be harvested Jong !
before the heavy rains set in, and when the '
floods did coinc and the rains beat upon them, 1
they would be consoled for any trivial loss by the |
recollection of their overflowing garners. ]
But the best of the upland must be devoted '
to cotton, and poor land wont bring corn. Aye, 1
there is the secret?must be devoted to cotton. (
The cotton mania is at the bottom of the whole '
. difficulty. If we could once be convinced that '
we could live without producingcotton, we might ]
then hope for a new and more advantageous 1
system of agriculture. If we would abandon '
* the cultivation of cotton altogether, plant our
best uplands in corn, devote every spare moment
j to the making and spreading of manure, and 1
sow our bottom lands in grain, or clover and the
P grasses, and raise stock of every kind, our pros- <
' ..nnic u-r.nlrl miiifllv imnmvft. and instead of our I
[) i " vm,? ...j ?y (
j country being drained of its population, numbers
j | would find their way Into our midst.

d As lie left the room Miss Jones entered, and
d with a composed air intimated that she would

man's rights, and now that the season was prod
pitious, she determined to take advantage thcrcig
of, and do a little courting on her own hook.?
tr It was one of woman's privileges, which had

W hat is IlEA'r^^vhat is combustion ??
what is heat ??arc questions not easily answered,
if, indeed, they can be answered at all. The
most familiar phenomena have bnfl-d .every attempt
to penetrate their secret. No single hypothesis
has been trained which can account for
all the facts observed, and perhaps the most ingenious
theories of our philosophers may be as
far from the true nature of heat, as were the spe
emulations of the ancients, or the fanciful phlogistic
theory of Stahl, which the progress of discovery
long ago consigned to the tomb of the
Capulets. In reviewing the history of the fluctuations
of theoretic views relating to heat, we
cannot be surprised by the sarcasm of Schelling,
that " most men see in philosophy only a succession
of passing meteors."
But whatever uncertainty may attach to the
cause of heat, none belongs to its phenomena.
Hie researches of Black, Mclloni, Hcrschel, Fara
rlny, and others have made us familiar with the
means and results of exciting it, and with the
laws which govern its manifestations. Those researches
show that there exists a constant and
very intimate relationship between heat, light,
and all the Protean forms of electricity, magnetism,
and chemical action; that they may all be
made to produce one another interchangeably,
either as forces or effects; and that probably they
ire all, not distinct, or merely related forces, but
jnly modifications of a single force pervading all
space, of which also gravitation may be a resilual
quantity. These researches have at least
proved that heat and light are not material subdances
added to or subtracted from bodies under
their influence ; for, at the pleasure of the ox
perimenter, two rays of light may be made to
produce total darkness, or a spectrum of double
intensity ; and the same may be done with two
rays of heat. We cannot conceive that two material
rays could either annihilate or augment
:uch other in the manner described ; but we
Icnow that two forces may destroy or double
their total resultant effect, according as their impulses
oppose or coincide with each other. This
ind similar observations have induced an increa
sing majority of philosophers to adopt the tin
dulatory theory ot light, neat, ana electricity,
vvliicli supposes all space, and the interstices of
all matter, to he filled with an exceedingly rare
and elastic fluid, which, for want of a better
name has been called ether.?Scientific American.

she had cleared the po t?her mail:

The captain remonstrated against this unwarrantable
action, but only exposed himself tc
stiii greater indignities; and finally he was, altei
some dillieully. permitted to take his departure
from Havana, leaving behind him in prison, tvvc

A Creole, named Guzman, was one of tlx

The Dead Letter Post Office.?The Washington
Republic says, that during the last quarter
one thousand seven hundred and eighty-one
letters were returned to the Dead Letter Office,
in the Tost Office Department. These contained
810.G89, in the aggregate. Recently, about one
million and a third of such letters were publicly
destroyed, a bonfire being kindled with them on
' the Mall. We yesterday saw a large number of
the various articles transmitted through the
i mails, the majority of which will never come in|
to the possession of those to whom they were
| addressed. Among those may be mentioned a
; horse-shoe; a ginger-cake, the postage on which
| was *2 10 ; a donation to a church, being a small
j cake in a paper box; a quilt; a New-Year's prej
sent to a bachelor; a Dutch pattern for a child's
dress; a pin-cushion, the stand of it; the bot:
torn of a glass lamp, the postage $4, the intrinsic
worth as many cents; a zinc frame belonging
to a galvanic battery, postage 6l7; a stone
weighing two pounds, addressed to a gentleman
by " Eliza," as a sample of his generosity; a pair
of men's boots sent to a lady ; a large bottle of
salve ; and a bundle containing a coarse shirt, a
pair of blue stockings, and a razor.
A Large Cnor.?Col. J. B. Gilmer is one of
the most enterprising and energetic of our Southern
planters. We perceive by the following,
which we clip from the Caddo Gazette, that his
prospects, for the coming harvest are splendid :
"From the rtrpsoni indientirms. we should
judge that the river crops in this region will be
enormous. "We learn that Col. J. B. Gilmer will
pick out not less than two thousand five hundred
bales which he cannot get with his present
force. lie lias, "however, sent to the Nation to
engage some two hundred Indians to come down
and pick for him. In the event ofhis succeeding
in procuring their services he will send to market
three thousand bales of cotton! The proceeds
of such a crop would keep the Caddo Gazette going
on for some time.
"Col. Gilmer owns some of the most spleudid
cotton land on the face oft^^lobe, and the very
favorable season hdj^Hlflb develops its
capacity to the utmoaJj^H^p^Ciggld we ima*
