 March 12, 1880. {

MT. Spencer, of New ! ork, from the Committee on Agriculture, to which the subject had beenreferred, made the follow ing Report
 The Committee on Agriculture, who were
 instructed by a resolution, to inquire in-
 to the expediency of adopting measures
 to extend the cultivation of the white
 mulberry tree in the United States; to
 promote the culture of Silk, by introdu-
 clng the necessary machinery for reel
 ing the same from coceons; and for ac-
 quiring and disseminating practical
 knowledge therein, make the following
 Report in part.
 That the committee have been, great .ly aided in their inquiries on these i'm poriant subjects by essays, published recently, bby bbyy Mr. John D'Efomerguc, a native of France, who came to the United States during the last summer. Mir. D'Homergue, being unacquainted with our language, has been assisted in the writing these essays by Peter $. Du ponceau, esq. of whom it is unne- cessary to speak, he being extensively known as q gentleman of the most pat riotie views, possessing great scientific attainments and an unblemished char actcr. The committee, therefore. con- siderthese essays, and the factscontained in them, as entitled to nigh confidence.
 Among the facts developed are sev- eral of an important nature. 1t ap- ssss;ssF Fs that that American silk IS superior in quality to that produced in any other country. in france and Italy, twelve pounds of feocoons are required to pro- sduce one pound of raw silk, whilst eight pounds of American cocoons will produce one pound of raw silk. That cocoons cannot be exported to for eign market from several causes, their bulk, their liability to spoil by mould ing on shipboari, and because they "a moi he suppressed without render ing them incapable of being afterwards reeled.
 1t is farther demonstrated in these es. says, and in n memorial lately presented abs the nlanuiac cturers of silk st,fss. of Lyons, in France, to the ministsrof com- nerce and manufactures. Chat the art of tsre can only be acquired by prac- sfical instruction, by some one intimate- y acquainted with, and accustomed to. that process. Thatno human skill or Ingenuity, unaided by practical instruc- ton, is capable of acquiring that art, to any profitable extent. II is made manifest, that, although the culture ol silk has been carried on for many years m some pstrts ofthe United States, and more particularly in Connecticut, 1t has been conducted very uopro6tably, com pared with whattAe results might have been, r the art of flature. had been un- derstood.

FEsHE primary object of this work H1ii
 -A be, to check the rapid progress of two alarming evils, so fatally prevalent in our country, viz: lntemperance and lnfidellty, which, like the cankerworn, arc stripping the walks of life of all its flowers, and leay- ing the moral world Q lcaiiess desert. EFe do this the more effectually, we shall pour tray in the most vivid colors, the deformitT and deleterious consequences of these most deadly eYils, by interesting moral taless sketches, fragments, essays, and scriptural l illustrations. We shall endeaYor to cher ish in the hearts of our readers, the sublime and benevolent sentiments of the blessed gospel of Jesus Christ--to exhibit the bean- ties and rewards of virtue in all their caps tiTating ioTliaess-to awaking the better feelings oi human nature--to cultivate tho SOCIAL and DOMESTIC affections--to deal the mind through the most delightful ayen- aes, to the bowers of happiness and peace ito elevate and enlarge the conceptions ito lmbue the understanding with the most exalted ideas of inimitable attributes and perfections of the Great Diyinitv-therehy leading mankind to C fear God and keep his commandments.S
 To accomplish these designs, we shall call to our aid all the eloquence of truth, clothed in the most facinating forms ss.el. 1 as moral essays, simple or pathetic tales, varying from grave to gay, from lively to serene2'-poetical ketches-didactic articles in verse-and sometimes to eni- ven eur pages, a tale of faDcy--a humorous l story-an alegory-a ballad--or a song will receive an insertion. In each and in l all, the great end and aim will be, to con i yey moral and religious sentiments, thro' a pleasing medium, to the heart-or, in other words, to blend C the useful with the l sweet.o
 In order to furnish our readers with the choicest articles both of poetry and prose ito encourage genius and foster talent-s generous premiums will be awarded, from time to time, for original articles furnish- ed. The eatige sergices of distinguished literary gentleman, late from London, who has for some time past been a contributor to the English periodicals, are engaged for the New-York Amulet. With these claims for patronage, the work will be submitted to the consideration of candid generous public. Should we succeed in our endea- vors to blend usefulness and instruction | with amusement and delight, our object will be accomplished.
 CoNDITIoNs---The New-York Amulet published by an association of gentlemen, will be beautifully printed on fine, white paper, 4-to size, with entire new type. It's i typographical execution shall equal that of | any similar publication in America. It will be afforded to city subscribers in Phi 1 iadeiPii and New ork who viii receive them by a carrier, at one dollar and twen- ty-five cents the volume, handsom ely CO., vered for preservation.

SPEAKING OUT.-Those who have never spoken in public, can scarcely judge of the consternation of an old lady who spoke osa in church. II was form erly the custom in country towns, for those who lived several miles from the church, 10 remain during the interval between morning and evening service. On this occasion she had taken some milk in pitcher for the children, and .in the most interesting part of the wor- ship, dog who had followed them into the pew, thrust his head into the pitch CT. Whether his head was too large or the pitcher too small, it is not our province province to deteTiaiii,e5bui having re- galed himself, the pitcherstill obstinate ly retained its position, and he was dis covered backing out, with the pitcher stuck fast upon his head, and the milk streaming in every direction Of his head and shoulders-"Get out pup!" says the old lady.

From the Bardstoaon Herald. THE EVENING STAR.

A lady's voice cried ss sec the Vest
 Behold what beauty glimmers there' looked--the sun had sunk to rest,
 And glorious shone the Eyening Star. Bright emblem of eternal peace,
 High in the canopy she's reared And waited by her soothing breeze,
 The notes of earth are softly heard. Balmy star, that modest giows
 Along the gIittering vault of Heaven. To thee, when dusky evening throws
 Her mantle round, 'tis wholly given. To hear the plaints and feebler cries
 Q these s.io lift if their ttiogs above The lovers whisper'd words and sighs, That float along the air of love! From thee, the purest star of Heavens
 The dew, like honey drops descend, And man, from guilty sins forgiven, Beholds thee as his aim and end. But bright and balny as the Star,
 That lights along the Western sky, Glittering hangs the piteous tear
 That yields the glow of beauty's eye

 A mockery is thine eye, To the sick heart that doth but long
 For aid-for sympathy; For kindly looks to cheer 1t on, For tender accents that are gone. Fame! Fame! thou canst not be the stay Unto thy dropping reed, st'he cool ffI.esi, fountain, in the day,

Sltk.-Mr. Spencer, from the com
 mittee to whom the subject of silk in the
 United States was referred, reports to
 Congress that eight pounds of cocoons
 from the American silk worm will pro-
 duce as much silk as eleven pounds from
 the French or italian--that every State
 in the Union is adapted to the culture
 that we imported last year SA millions
 of dollars in silk. A correspondent of fthe Albany Argus adds, that the town iof Mansfield produced s25, ,000 in silk
 last year--that one fringe maker in Phi fiadelphia consumes S20.000 worth a year; and recommends the subject to farmers with large families. and to over lseers of peorhouses. The managers of the Aims House of Philadelphia have determined to raise silk by the iahor of la part of the disabled paupers. 1t af lords us much pleasure to state as a highly praiseworthv circumstance that two or three of the most respectable ladies of this city have commenced rais-
 ing the worm, and are making such pre-
 paratlons to conduct their experiments
 as We hope will test the policy of making
 the culture of silk an object of pursuit sa sh.s section of country. Indeed, we |thlnk | We have sufficient proof that the liabor of large class of the community ieould not De otherwise half so profGita- | biy employed. yet such is the invet. 'eraey of habit, that the utility of new
