. On Sunday morning, we proceeded
to Thompsou's Pond, the residence the
Shakers, and went to their meeting -
Every part of the village is in the highest
state OF cultivation, and looks as u the
hand Of Industry reigned there Their
meeting house is white building of wood
with two doors, one for males and the
other for females the beams on the
walls are about a yard apart, painted
black, and vanished, so that you might
see your face in them They appeared
very solemn in their worship-they sang
several long hymns; the men addressed
the strangersin very solemn and i'm
pressiye manner they then took off their
coats, and hung them up, and began to
dance they go forward and backward,
and then turn round-they appear very
sincere. The females wear mob caps,
striped factory gowns, plain muslin hand
kerchiefs--the boys and girls dress just
like old men and women"
The Chdniots Hunters The ldamer-
geyer, the largest of birds of prey after
the condor of America, measuring sixteen
feet across when the wings are extended,
frequents the nortllof Switzerland; it some
times carries off the young kids, and even
large dogs. M Ebel, relates story ola
chasseur of this country (Joseph Schoreo0
who having discovered nest belonging
to one of these terrible birds, and Killed
the male, crept along the JET of a rock,
bis feet bare, the better to keep himself
firm, in hopes of catching the young ones.
He raisad his arm, and had already his
hand upon the nest, when the female poun
cling on him from above, struck her taions
throushhis arm, and her beak into bis IONS.
The hunter, whomthe smallest movement
would have precipitated to the bottom, lost
not bis presence of mind, but remained
firm, rested his fowling piece, which, for
unately he held in his left hand, and with
his foot directing it full on the bird, touch

THE great desideratum.-To prevent fly from
destroying turnips' always choose piece of hoor
land for your turnip patch, plough and harrow it
until you get it very fine, then manure it well with
ashes or zUcH rotted stable manure; SOW your tur-
nip seed with Indian meal, that you may see whe-
ther you it thick or too thnly then harrozy
in the seed with iron tooth harrow, be not a.
fraid of putting them in too deep-ifyou bush them
in, thy scarcely covered they are up before the
root has taken any hold and lying on the surface
of the ground, they nearly all perish the first dry
spell that follows after their coming up, and you find
it very convenient, without further enquiry, to cry
out-Oh the detestable Ely has eat up all my tur.
nips; but choose poor land, make it fine and rich,
and cover your seed deep and the fly will fly away
to your neghbors.-The advice here given rests

GENERAL JACKSON.

The following interesting anecdote we extract
from Judge Johnsons Life Of General Greene,
splendid and valuable work, recently published in
Charleston, S. Cha Morn Chron.
AS Ferguson's approach to the mountains had
excited opp oston, that he had not anticipated,
so Lord CorDwas's movement to North Carolina
awakened the wings of Warsaw and Meekenburgs
to efforts of daring and active hostility, which enti-
tied them to receive from the British Commander
the distinguishing epthet of "the Hornets Nest"
On this occasion elected the first spark of that
military genius which destined the plains of
New Orleans to shed so much lustre on the Anne
rican arms. General Jackson, then fourteen years
of age, took the field on the advance of Lord Corn
wallis. Little was it imagined, that the obscure
stripping, who was contemptuously ordered by a
British officer to clean his boots, and sabred for his
dsobedience, would be honoured with the greatest
triumph ever acquired over British army. Heaven
decreed to him signal opportunity of appeasing
the names of brother, and mother, who persisted
through cruelty"

TURKEYS.

Most of our housewives, says a Swedish author
of husbandry, have long despaired of success in
rearing Turkeys, and complained that the profit
rarely Unidentified them for their trouble and loss
of time ;-whereas, says he little more is to be done
than TO plunge the chick into vessel OF cold water,
the very hour, if that cannot be done the day it
is Matched, forcing it to swallow one whole pepper
corn, and then restoring it to its mother. From that
time will become hardy and fear the cold no more
than hens chick. After which it must be re-
membered that these useful creatures are subject
to one particular malady whilst they are young,
which carries them off in few days When they
begin to droop examine carefully the feathers ON
their rump, and you will find two three, whose
|quill part is filed with blood Upon drawing these
the chick RECEIVERS, and after that requires other
care than what is commonly bestowed on poultry
that range in the court yard. These articles are
too true to be denied and in proof of the success,
three parishes in Sweden have, for many years
ganed several hundred pounds by rearing & selling
Turkeys.

TED POETRY.
THE SURE REFUGE.

Oh ! ye whom struggling on life's craggy road,
With obstacles and dangers, secret foes
Supplant, false friends betray, disastrous rage
Ofelements, of war, of civil broi,
Brings down to poverty's cold floor, while grief
Preys on the heart, and dims the sinking eye;
Faint mott There is who rules the storms whose hand
Feeds the young ravens, nor permits blind chance
To close one sparrow's tagging wing in death.
Trust in the Rock OF AGES. Now, even now
He speaks, and all is calm. Or, if to prove
Your inmost soul, the hurricane still spreads
Its licensed ravages-HE whispers hope
Earnest of comfort; and through blacklist night
Bids keen eyed Faith on heavens pure sunshine gaze
And learn the gories of her future home.

REPENTANCE.

When the edge of appetite is worn down, and
the spirits of youthful days are cooled, which hur.
ried us on in circle OF pleasure and ntemperance,
then reason and reflection will have the weight they
deserve ;-afllictons, on the bed of sickness, will
supply the place of conscience and, if they should
fail, old age will overtake last, and show US the
past pursuits of life-and force us to look upon
them in their true point of view. If there be any
thing more to cast cloud upon so melancholy a
prospect this shows US, it is sure the difficulty
and hazard of having all the work of the day to per.
form in the last hour; of making an atonement to
Con when we have no sacrifice to offer him, but
the dregs and ipfrmities of those days when we
|couid have no pleasure in them. Whichever stress
|some may lay upon it, death.bed repentance is
|but weak and slender plank TO trust our ALL upon.

MY BROTHERS GRAVE.

w DhO f1Ch . ShAN Es
Beneath the chanceEs hallow'd stone
Exposed to every rustic tread,
To few, save rustic mourners, known,
My brother, is thy lowly bed.
Few words, upon the rough stone craven,
Thy name--thy birth thy youth declare
Thy innocence-thy hope of Heaven
In simplest phrase recorded there.
No 'scutchcons shine, no banners wave,
In mockery DER my Brothers. Grave.
sNo sound of human toll or strife
To deaths lone dwelling speaks of life,
Nor breaks the silence still and deep.
Where thou beneath thy burial stone,
Art laid in that unstartled sleep
The living eye hath never known.
The lonely sections footstep falls
In dismal echoes on the walls,
AS, slowly pacing through the aisle,
He sweeps TIL unhoy dust away,
And cob webs, which must not defile
Those windows on the Sabbath day;
And, passing through the central nave,
Treads lightly on my Brothers Grave.
'But when the sweet toned Sabbath chime,
Pouring its music on the breeze,
Proclaims the we'll known holy time
OF prayer, and thanks, and Bonded knees;
When rustic crowds devouily meet,
And lips and hearts TO God are given,
And souls enjoy oblivion sweet
Of earthly ills, in thought of Heaven
What voice of calm and solemn tone
Is heard above the burial stonea
What form in priesty meek array
Beside the altar kneels to pray?
What holy hands are lifted up
To bless the sacramento cup?
Full well know that reverend form -
And if voice could reach the dead,
Those tones would reach thee, tho the worm, j..
My brother, makes thy breast his bed;
That Sire, who thy existence gave,
Now stands beside thy lowly Grave.

We are all republicans in this happy

tina, we are not as free as the air we
breathe; nevertheless we are all under
the dominion Of one Of the most absolute
tyrants that ever existed-the tyrant Of
fashion. 1t is in vain tina. we moralize
upon the subject, or let ny the arrows Of
satire. Fashion will exert its magic
power, and the grave and the gay with
few exceptions, bow in painful submits
