vatc room to another; spoiled them OF
their goods; starved their families; threw
them into prison, and lett them to waste
! away in the damps and darkness Of their
cruel confinement! Who would not in
iinitely prefer the lot of poor John Bun
yam, or John Rodgers, TO that of their
proudeSt crowned and mitred persecu-
tors! For myself, do not wonder, that
those who die the death of the righteous
have au earnest desire to make their
graves with them, that their dust may be
mingled, and that they may rise together
at the last day. 1t is natural, and who
will say that it is wrong! Who that goes
out to bury dear and pious friend, is not
comtorted, ifhe can lay those precious re-
mains by the side OF those whom he has
reason to believe, have entered into the
same glorious rest! And what Christian
is there, who, il looking over the burying
place where he expects soon to lie him.
self, does not feel, that it will be a privi-
lege to sleep with the friends of that Re-
deemer whom he loves and adores.
confess that had it pleased God TO lay
me upon my last bed Of sickness in Lon
don there is no spot in which l should
have esteemed it so great privilege to be
buried as Bunhil Fields. Is this weak
ness! Is this superstition! Is it feel
ing which it is unlawful! to indulge, or of
which any person i'll his sober senses has
reason to be ashamed! The patriarch
Jacob would on no account, consent TO be
buried in Egypt, but on his death bed, he
charged his sons and said unto them |
am to be gathered unto my people; bury
me with NY fathers, in the cave, that is in
the field of Machpelah, which is before
Mamre, in the land of Canaan. There
they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife;
there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his
wife, and there l buried Leah! In like
manner, when Joseph drew near the close
Of life, " He said unto his brethren, die,
and God will surely visit you, and bring
you out of this land, unto the land which
he sware unto Abraham, to Isaac. and TO
Jacob. And Joseph took an oath of the
children Of Israel, saying, God will surely
visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones
hence" So, am persuaded, would ev-
cry christian say, could he have his choice,
BURY me not in Egypt--muke not my
grave with the wicked; but with the ri iehte-
Gus, tha, we may rise and be s!orilied to-

have contributed fragments of their vital
organs to form Segato's inlaid table: poet
perhaps has given his brain, an orator his
tongue, an hypocondriac his spleen, and
love-sck girl her heart--for even so ten

The limited means of the inventor have
not hitherto permitted him to try the pro-
cess on an entire human body; although
the expense would be only one-tenth as
great as that of embalming in the ordinary
way. 1t is confidently believed, that dead
persons may thus be preserved for ages,
with precisely the aspect that they wore,
when Death laid his hand upon them. We
can perceive no reason why these stony
figures, which once were mortal, should not
last as long as a marble statue. Instead of
seeking the soul lptor's aid 10 perpetuate the
form and features Of distinguished men,
the public may hencetorth possess their
very shape and substance when the aspi-
ring souls have left them. The statesman
may stund in the Legislature hall, where he
once led the debate, as indestructible as
the marble pillars which support the roof
lie might be literally pillar Of the state.
Daniel Webster's form might help to up
hold that Capital, assisted by the great Of
all parties, each lending stony arm to the
good cause. The warrior--our own old
General---might stand forever on the sum-
nit of a battle-monument, overlooking his
field Of victory at New Orleans. Nay,
every mortal, when the heart has ceased to
beat, may be straitway transformed into a
tombstone and our cemeteries be thronged
with the people Of past generations, fixing
their frozen stare upon the living world.

1st. Ii is the opinion of the most expcrl.
cnccd cuurist, that trees two years old, may
BE- stript Of their foliage without injury, pro-
vided the leaves on the extremities of the
branches are suffered to remain. 1t Is,
however, recommended by some, to let the
trees remain one year after the first picking,
in orde, that they may recover from the
loss ofthcir foliage. Trees oftwo and three
years old, yield but little foliage, and conse-
quently, not much profit must be expected
from them. 1t is, however, supposed that
potatoes, beans, or other low vegetables may
be raised among them, in sufficient quanti'
ties to defray the expense of their cultiva'
ton and give small profit.

MoRUs MULTlcAULIs IN EAST FLORIDA.
In the last Silk Culturist there is an ar
ticle under this heading, giving some ac-
count of the Morus Multicauls in the gar.
den of the Rev. Mr.. Thomas, as seen
about the middle Of December last. a cor
rect account Of the accidental experiment
by Mr.. Thomas, may be useful, perhaps to
the growers of the Morus Multicaulis, and
as it stands in the article Of E. II. alluded
to, it may nislead them. ltake the liberty to
send you true history of the matter.
In November of '33 arrived in St. Au-
gustine, with fifty small plants of the Morus
Multicaulis, obtained from Mrs. Parmenter.
They were the first ever brought to Florl-
da. Little attention was bestowed on them.
They were planted in a crowded nursery,
and allowed 10 yegc:ate as they could till
the Spring Of '35, when some of them were
laid and some cuttings taken from thctn.-
A few which had room to expand are now
fruit bearing trees Of some ten inches in
circumference. 1t was late in the spring
or perhaps June, when gave the Rev. Mr..
Thomas a few cuttings and with them u
sprout with fibre Of root, which was re-
commended to his special care. He gave
it a good situation and its growth was re-
markable. In three months, have no
doubt it had increased in volume one hun
dred fold. At this time, about the first Of
September, advised Mr.. t. to lay it; but
he replied that it was so beautiful he dis.
liked to spoil it. He did, however, lay it
in the early part Of September, and IN
three months more, when he was talking OF
a return to Carolina, offered him ten DOT
lars, think, for the product of the little
plants had given him six months before.
He probably got much more. 1he case'
however, was a remarkable one.
The plant may be propagated here much
more rapidly than at the North, as the
growing season is ten months instead OF
five or six; but wei are not to expect in extern
ded operations, to realize results in proper
ton to Mr.. Thomas success with a single
plant. Mostly from the small lot OF plants
| brought on as above, there are now some
twenty or thirty thousand in the Territory;
and as within the last year / have intro.
duced a new and larger stock from the
North; and as Others have also brought in
some, within two years, or if allowed topro.
ceed in their propagation by our masters,
the Semipoles, there may be millions ofthe

THE DAIRY. ZONE.

We have heard the remark repeated,
lha. in the United States, the cheese
and butter district j. circumscribed be-
tween the parallels of 10 and Is degrees
north latitude. II seems to be true, that
the principal cheese dairies are within
those parallels; and that although very
excellent fresh butter is made in Pennsyl-
vania, and in states west and south, yet
we have an impression, without being able
TO determine, at present, how true It Is IN
fact, that comparatively little butter is pro-
duced for expectation south OF New York:
Whether this fact is merely Imaginary, or
being true, whether ii is owing to climate.
to hcrbage, or to incidental causes, We
shall not stop to inquire. MostpIsats and
animals have their natural zone. beyond
which they deteriorate or do not live.
The potato, for instance, deteriorates
south of latitude 40; and the fact is OF
common notoriety, that cows do not fur
nish that abundance Ct milk in the soutli-
ern States, that they do in the northern.
The reputation of Goshen butter Is well
established; and yet we are persuaded,
that butter made with the same care in
the northern and western parts OF the
state, particularly in the hilly and urssiia-'
ling districts, is as good asthat made IN
the county of Orange. And why should
i, not be so The climate aud t'erbage'
are similar.

INDIAN CORN.

All, or nearly all, the accounts We have:
publ,s shed OF great products Of Indian corn
agree in two particulars, viz: in not using:
the plough IN the culture, and ia not earth
ing, or but very slightly, the hills. These
results 90 to demonstrate, that the entire
roots are essential to the vigor ofthe crop;
and tha, Eoe,s, to enable them to perform
their functions as nature designed, must
be near the, surface. IF the roots arcs
severed with the plough, in dressing the
crop, the plants are deprived Of a portion
of their nourishmen,; and il they are bu-
ried deep BY hilling, the plant is partially
exhausted in throwing cit new set near
the surface, where alone they can perform
all their Offices. There is another mate-
risl advantage in this mode Of cultivating
the crup-a saves vast deal OF manual
labor. See the communication OF Dir.
Tomlinson, in to-days paper
There is another question OF interest
to farmers. which relates to :he mode OF
harvesting the crop, that is, whether It IS
best to top the stocks, cut the whole at the
ground when the g,ain is glazed, or cut the
whole when the grain has fully ripened: we
bave stated the experiments Of Mt. Clark:
of northampton, one ofthe best PRACTICAL
farmers Of our country, and OF other gen
,leman, showing, that the grain suffers 9
dimiuution Of six or eight bushels the acre,
bv topp;ny the stocks; and there seems
to be no counterbalancing benefit in tha
fodder, unless at the expense o: carrying
the stocks to the borders Of the Geld, fi,at
thew may be secured before the crop Is
gathered, and before they became 6lanch.

QUERIES RELATIVE TO THE CULTURE OF SILK.
From the Silk Culturist.
1Nentoua, (N. j. Feb. 12, 1886.

-lHoNOUbJ 4'' - rev. ~, ASco'
SlR.-The manufacture Of silk, and the
cultivation of the mulberry in the United
States, has become q subject of such great
importance. that the quiet ofo our village has
been reused by its influence, and several of
US are now making arrangements to plant
orchards in the spring.
The business is new, and though your
excellent paper would seem TO contain all
the information required by those engaging
in it, yet there arc some apparent contradlc-
tions by your correspondents, upon matters
which we, who rely upon what we read to
guide US in the enterprise, are dcsirous to
have rcconcilcd. Hoping, therefore, that
You will receive this as sufficient apology
for iutruding upon your time and attention,
allow me to propose the following queries.
Some Of your writer's say the young trees
should not be stripped sooner than five years
from the time they were transplan,ed. 9th
crs. that worms in sufficient numbers may
be fed from them the second year, that is,
the next year after transplanting them, as |
understand ii, to delray expenses, and that
the third years crop will furnish silk enough
to give nett profit Of 500 per acre.
lst. Which statement is the practical and
true one?
2d. How old from the seeds should the
plants be, before they may most protitably
be transplanled I!
Sd. From the orchard planted in hedge
form, the plants q feet distant, and the rows
IL feet apart, how many worms may be
fed the second year, supposing the statement
to be correct, which advises this carly leaf
ing!
4th. If am not mistaken, NJ. D1Iomer-
que in his book, notes American cocoons,
without their chrysales, at 8 grains, which
would require $50 to the pound, whilst a
writer in your paper gives from 26O to 800 ?
5th. You state So per bushe, as the price
ofcocoons-how are they measured! Three
bushels may, without difficulty, be put in
and on one.
9th. Can cocoons by any care be packed
for market without indenting vast numbers
ofthem, which is said to destroy their value !!
7th. Before measuring and packing,
are they stripped ofthe floss, or are they
sold with that attached
9Th. What amount of silk can an ordl-
nary reclcr wind from the cocoons in a
day?
Ifit will not tax your goodness too far, to
answer in the next number Of the CultIra-
tor, the above queries, you will, by so doing,
greatly oblige your humble servant,
WILLIAM INLAY.
P.S. From the inducements held forth
in your paper, | have purchased 1000 trees,
to be planted in the way stated in the third
query. Three other gentlemen in our village
are preparing to set out an equal number.

Mr.. F. G. CoMsrocK, ESQ.
Dear S1R:-The excitement Upon the
silk business is getting high in this part Of
the country. A company, called the Potom-
nc Silk and Agricultural Company, obtain.
ed charter from the Legislature in March
last, with capital Of $4,000, with the priv
ilege Of increasing it to $4,000. They
held their first meeting Oh the 9TH inst.
when the following officers were elected: ),
JOHN MONCURE. President.
VIM. A. JACKSON,
Henry R. RoBy. D;,.,,n. :
THos. F. KNOX,
VIM. ALLEN,
THos. F. KNOX, Secretary and Treasurer
The Company have purchased 400 acres
of land, and have planted about 1000 CHI.
nese Mulberry trees. They fed about
5000 worms this season, merely as an ex.
pertinent in an old house, without q cover
ing, and consequently exposed to all the rain
that fell, and remarkable to say, not q worm
died; the rain seemed rather to refresh them.
A gentleman who visitedth farm few days
since, brought home with him a small busli
that was filled with cocoons Of very large
size. The worms were fed with the black
and white mulberry leaf, ofwhich there is
sufficiency to feed one million Of WORMS
The black and white mulberry tree is very
abundan, on the land, some Of a very large
size.
Respectfully.
