WOMEN.

From the creation to the present day, Women
have made Men what they please. If, however,
any particular description of persons have been,
more than others, their own, I'VE must name Sol
diers, including the heroes of ancient story
Sampson, David and solomon. Mark Anthony
and Besarius, with hundreds moro. afford nroof
enough of this position In later times. John
Banter, one of the best generals Europe ever
knew, and an ELEvE of the great Gustavus
Adophus, gained his glory by ONE woman. and
lost it by ANOTHER While the wife, whom he
brought from Sweden. lived. he was success
full in every undertaking. She accompanied
him every where, regulated all his enterprises,
and pointed out the path 10 glory. She died.
and his despair prompted him at first to follow
her. At her funeral. however, the view of a
lovely young German Princess checked his grief,
and made him love again. Though late in life
he performed all those pranks which youth
alone can render supportablc He ran extreme
hazards to catch glance of his mistress, he
consumed whole nights in drinking bumpers to
her health, and when he obtained her hand. he
made such extravagantly noisy rejocings, that
all the country round him went to their devo-
tions, thinking that bloody contest was decid-
ing IN the field. His second race of love was
however, very short. He died in six weeks.

BY daring mind endued with wings,
Rlest by bis visions false but gay,
Untamed by anxious care, how springs
The youth along existence way
There's nought SO lofty, nought SO far,
10 which his wishes NAV not rise
Fen to the heavens remotest star,
On wings OF bold design he flies.
How swiftly was borne along
And happy, feared no toll nor care
And still with winning grace the throng
Before me danced of forms of ar;
Love with sweet looks that meier could frown;
Joy with his golden garlantls bright;
Glory adorned with starry crown;
And Truth that blazed in solar light.
But alb ! how soon these guardians flew
Far from my side, ere lite's midway;
The airy band became untrue,
And one by one they passed away.
His rapid pinions Joy extended
The wells of knowledge still were dry
Doubts heavy clouds round Truth assembled,
And hid her light from mortal eve.
saw, too, Glory holy flowers
Round common brows profanely twined
And, Love, how swiftly flew thy hours
How soon left thy spring behind
Still and more still the scene became
More lonely seemed the rugged way
And dying hope pallid flame
Scarce threw across the darksome way.
OF all that gay and noisy crowd
Will none with faithful fondness wait.
To raise me when by sorrow bowed.
And follow me to deaths dark gate
o Friendship thou my age shalt brighten.
Thou, who dost heal our every wound,
With love the tolls of life dost tighten.
Thou. whom early sought and found.
And thou, whose spell like hers can charm
The spirits storms, beloved Employ;
Thou, who with strong unwearied arm,
Dost slowly raise, but meier destroy
The building of eternity
Thy hand with patient toll uprears,
And pays the debt before we die,
OF minutes, seasons, days, and years

Dreadful effects Of an ercessire use Of Sulphur.

Dreadful effects Of an excessive use Of Sulphur.
Professor Olmsted, in geological excursion in
the county of Wake, IN. CO. met with the following
fact, which we present in his own words:-t Ae
Mrs. Thompson's, where | dned, | saw fellow
creature whose sulferings made me truly thanked
even for my own imperfect health. He was
of Mrs I. and nearly fifty years OF age. When |
came into the porch, he was sitting before the
trance in an elbow chair, surrounded with pillows,
with no clothing but frock oil linen, that came half
way down his knees. The ghastly image OF de alh
was imprinted on every part oil his emaciated frame.
The bones of his arms and legs were hardly cover
ed with flesh, and the joints Of the knees and the
largest joints OF The fingers, were increased
jenormous size. His knees drawn together
beyond the power OF separation shortening the lett
leg that nothing but the toes touched the floor.
The hands were forcibly and irremoveaby fixed 10
the breast the distorted fingers being bent backward,
forming arch over the swollen mound at the
joints A little motion with the ends OF the fingers,
was all the sufferer could produce; and was much
impressed with the ,sensbllily OF man to his ordi-
nary blessings, when saw this poor invalid call
several times for servant 10 brush off lily that
was biting his legs unmolested.-On his back was
large running sore, which his friends were I'M
certain whether to ascrbe to disease, or TO The eff
fects oflying so long in horizontal and mmoveabIe
posture. The daily dressing OF this sote, which
performed while was present, gave him SO great
pain, that he unable to sit up moment alter 1t
was completed. Three servants took him up with
Jail possible care and laid him the bed while the
lexcruciating misery which this gentle movement
produced, filled the mouth of the sufferer with
groans and enreaties = Here he lay, bewaog his
lot in hollow, pieous tone and crying, Oh that
thou wouIdst hide me in the grave, that thou wouldst
keep me secret, until thy wrath be pastn' On in
Iquiring the cause Of his sutferings, was told that
three years ago, being afflicted with rheumatism he
took the advice of quack to attempt its cue by
enormous doses of sulphur. With this view, he
mixed pound of sulphur with five qts. Of water,
and stirring it, took half pint three times day,
until he had taken six pounds of sulphur. Soon
after, commenced the pain and distortion Of his
limbs, which had subjected him to increasing and
Iexcruciating sufTerings since.

POTATOES.

In order to preserve potatoes in sand SOIL it Is
not necessary to pack them in casks or other yes
sells. They may be mixed with due quantity Of
the earth OF the heldin which they have e. own and
put into bins in cellars, or buried in holes dug in
the ground. The earth should be in such quantity
as to keep them from the air and from general con-
tact with each other. Placed in this manner, they
will not suffer from heat frost, if deposited in
cellar which freezes Ii surrounded by earth they
will receive little or no injury from frost, 1t is
wrong to suppose that the earth sand in which
they are embedded, should be perfectly dry. Some
degree OF moisture is necessary, in order TO pre-
serve the life of the root II The vital vegetstlve
principle is destroyed, they will decay, by a
sort of dry rot. They may however, it is said, be
cut Into slices, and dried in kiln, and will
then remain sweet and sound for years. We sup
pose that either the native juice OF the potaoe should
be expelled by heat, the vegelative principle pre-
served by moisture and seclusion from the air.

RULES OF HUSBANDRY.

!. Cultivate no more land than can be thorough.
ly ploughed, we'll manfred at once, and kept free
from weeds.
2. Never keep land many years under the same
crops.
s. Never lay land into grass, except it be well pre-
pared, and in very rich condition.
Suppose, for example, you possess field of ara
bic land, containing eight acres how can it be most
advantageously managed? According to the author
who lays down the foregoing rules, plough up annu-
ally, in autumn, Two acres. Let it be cross plough
ed, narrowed, highly MANFRED, planted with corn
potatoes, and well tended The following spring and
summer. In the spring next following, plough it
twice, and sow it with grain and clover In this
way, by keeping the land in rotation, one year I'M
der Indian corn or potatoes, one year under En-
glish grain, and two years under clover, it would
produce the most abundant crops and be continual
y growing better, the large tap roots of the cio-
yer, especially, would greatly meliorate and enrich
the SOIL After going through this routine several
times. the land would be in an excellent condition
to lay into grass, thus to remain till another por
ton OF land could be treated in the same manner.
Keeping in view these principles every farmer can
readily apply them TO other crops, which is there
fore unnecessary TO mention.
