POWER OF THE IMAGINATION.

An honest New England farmer sf9Tted
one very cold day in the winter, with his
sled and oxen into the forest, halfa mile
from home, for the purpose of chopping n
load ofwood. Having fallen a tree, he
drove the team alongside, and commenced
chopping it up. When by an unlucky hit
he brought the whole bit of the axe across
his foot, with a sidelong stroke. The i'm
mense cash so alarmed him rs nearly to de-
prve him ofstrength. He felt the warm
blood filing his shoe. With great diff
Guilty he succeeded in rolling himself on the
sled ant started the oxen for home. AS
soon as he reached the door, he called ca
gerly for help. His terrified wife and
daughter with much effort, lifted him INTO
The house, as he was unable to help himself,
saying his foot was nearly severed from
the leg. His vile hastily prepared rdres-
oins", nnJ removed me shoe and sock,
pecting TO see desperate wound, WREN 10 !
the skin was not even broken. Before 60
ing out in The morning he had wrapped his
feet in red flannel, 10 protect them from the
cold; the cash laid this open 10 his view,
and he thought it flesh and blood. His
reason not correcting the mistake, pain and

followed. Man often suffers more from i'm
aginary evils, than from real ones.

FARMERS, WORK.

FENchs should be surveyed, and their
defects rectified, before cattle are permitted
10 wander over the farm. GA stitch in
time saves nine," is an expressive adage,
particularly applicable 10 the making and
mending fences. If cattle or sheep are
once accustomed to low or insufficient fen
Gee, they will hardly be restrained by
those OF the best quality.
II has been pracrised 10y some isrners To
make fencing post very durable by the fol-
lowing process: They bore hole with On
inch anger in that part Of the post, which,
when set will be Just above the surface OF
the earth, with such slope as will carry it
downward two or three inches. They then
fill the hole with SAT-, which, we are told,
will preserve the tan Der from decay a very
long tfnne.
In making fences posts and rails, which
in many part OF the country are hest, it is
advised by Mr.. Preston OF Stockport, Penn.
TO set the posts with the top parts in the
ground, and he asserts that they will in
that position, last three or four times as
longas when they are set with the butt ends
down. He advices also, in making fences
always to place the rails with the heart side
up.
The best timber for rails, according 10
Doctor Deane, is red cedar.
If the lower ends ofthe posts are scorch-
ed before they are put into the ground,
they will last the longer. Sore reccom-
mend soaking them in sea water 10 keep
them from rotting. The posts should be
set at lest two feet in the ground.-Some
farmers cut their posts so long, and NOR
tse them in such manner, that they can
turn them upside down, when the ewes
ends becomes rotten.
A writer OF the Genessee Farmer, gives
the following directions Tor "Panting Post,
for Garden Fences, &c."
instead of filing the holes up with The
earth removed in digging them, I recon-
mend filing in around the posts with leach
ed ashes instead Of The earth and topping
off with five or six inches of unleached ASH
es above The surface of the ground.

A GERMAN ADVENTURE IN ABYssINiA.--
A letter from Cairo, in Egypt, dated Sep
TENDER 22d, gives an interesting notice of

to go and marry in his own country; tia.

TRIAL BY JURY.

Trial by jury is the birthrght Of Americans.
Like an angel OF mercy it spreads its bless
ings, wherever, in iaithlulness, it is exercised.
Ii is, however, a matter of melancholy r. flee
ton, that any, even The humblest individual,
should be denied this boon. Yet so it is

that is neal and dear to them in life, and drag

claim laid 10 citizen oil this, by citizen of
another state, as runaway slave, may be es-
tablshcd by single judge, upon er pnrte evil

land of "liberly and equality" the rights of
property are more sacredly guarded than those
OF "life, liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness"
debt Of ten dollars may occupy the atten-
lawyers, and jury ofthe country, for a week,
while personal liberty may hang upon a few
hours delibera,ion of single Judge, instruct

nesses.
Our legislators are knowing 10 this. Petit
ton after petition has announced il 10 them,
and prayed for the passage Of q law making
provision for the exercise of the right of trial
by jury in cases Of persons claimed as fugtiv e
| slaves. A bill has been introduced in our
House of Representatives, and eleven only OF
the members had moral courage enough, had
feelings OF humanity strong enough 10 make
them stand up in lite favor. better fate,
however, as we lave reason TO believe, for the
honor OF this great commonwealth, awaits q
similar bill in the Senate.
The subject is OF 100 much importance 10 be

But says one, by granting the right oil

INrEMPERANcE AT WASHINGTON. We
have several times adverted TO the violent and
disgraceful scenes, which have been OCCASION
ally enacted at the capitol during the last ses-
sion Of Congress. The editor Of the Philadel-
phia Ledger, conccves that these proceedings
have their origin in intemperance. We hope
for the honor of our country that the following
sketch which he gives Of habits Of many MEM
bers Of Congress, is far too highly colonrcd-
but we have no doubt that the business of the
nation would be more promptly, as well as
satisfactorily performed, if all our legislators
were temperance men, in word and deed.
We say that as q body Of men, the men,
bers Of our Federal House Of Representatives
are Incorporate that more hard drinkers can
be found among them, than among almost
any body Of men in this Union, who offer tho
same pretensions to respectabillty Of character.
Such habits are almost necessarily induced by
the mode Of transacting legislative business at
Washington, and this mode would seem 10
have been devised for the purpose of convert
ing these members into drunkards. The ses-
sion begins at noon, which is between one q nd
two hours of the time when all men Of BUSH
ness dine But as every session is protracted
till three, four, five, or later, nature becomes
exhausted and the members seek some refresh
ment, TO sustain themselves till dinner. For
this purpose the capital is provided with two
refectories, or ms we should call them, dram
shops, well provided with alcohol in all its
pes. Now can it be supposed that body

lion under such circumstances, is beyond the
power of human nature.
We believe that these refectories, these
dram shops, grog shops, drunkard monutacio

may Justly describe them, by which our CAPT
tai is contaminated, are fertile source Of thu
scandalous scenes which daily transpire il

Al a ball recently given at Port Louis,
near Lorient, while a young lady was
WALKING, she felt the hand by which she
was supported become stone cold, and on
looking into the face of her partner, found
his features deadly pale and horribly con-
traclcd. She tainted at the sight, and fell
TO the ground, whilst the cavalier dropped
by her side. The lady was taken up and
recovered, but the life of the gentleman
was extinct. She maintains he was dead
several seconds before she knew it, md that
she made one turn round the room with
him after he was a corpse. He was mar

1t is perfectly natural and universal

We thereby learn that it is nota mans own

of our Lord Jesus Cnrsi, in which the be-
