rwo-Alter period Of four years, during which
he has been at the head of the nation, the people
Of his native State have again been called upon
to give him their confidence and support; and the
result is that he has been declared unworthy Of his
station, and an enemy TO the welfare Of the Re-
public, by a majority Of MORE THAN TEN THOU,
SAND Of the very people who only four years since
gave him majority Of 28,272M Lei the advo.

USEFUL RECIPE

l send you below, MeSSrs. Editors, a receipc for
aking composition which will render wood en-
trely lncombnstibIe. 1t is very simply prepared,
and quite easy of application bein used the same
as paint, with ordinary brush A good coat OF
it applied to the for underneath stoves would be
excellent precartiun.
Take quantity Of water, proportioned to the
surface of wood you may wish to cover and add to
it as much potash can be dissolved therein
When the water will dissolve no more potash, stir
into the solution, lst quantity Of flour paste Of
the consistency Of common painters size; 2nd, a
sufficient quantity of pure clay to render it of the
consistency of cream.
When the clay is well mixed apply the prepare
tion as before directed to the wood it will secure il
from the action Of both fire and rain. In most
violent fire. wood thus saturated may be carbOna-
ted. but will never blaze.
If desirable, most agreeable color can he given
to the preparation by adding small quantity Of red
Or yellow ochre
It might also be useful for you to mention in yom
paper especially at this season Of high winds, tina
a handful or two of suIpher thrown into the fire
when the chimney is burning out, will almost in
simultaneously extinguish the flames.

FOR THE TIMES.
To THE PUBLIC.

TO THE PUBLIC.
We, the undersigned citizens in the vi
cinity of the Monticello Male and Female
Seminary, have conferred together, and
deem it advisable to erect new buildings for
that institution. We propose to meet a.
gain OF the examination, on Wednesday, the
93d inst, at 8 O'Clock, p. m. TO take the
subject into more mature deliberation; and
we cordially invite all those who are int er-
ested in the cause Of education in general,
and in this institution in particular, to meet
with US, on that occasion.
There are reasons why we consider the
Monticello Seminary destined to take no Sc
condary rank among the schools OF our
State; and we feel it incumbent on us, to
employ early means to have the buildings
correspond with tho growing Importance OF
the institution.
Monticello, is neat, quiet little place,
about one mile from Charlton, Glasgow and
Shipping Point respectively; and about the
same distance inland, from the NJ ssouri riv-
err. The situation is healthy and delight
ful-far enough from the towns, not to be
interrupted by their business or their dissi-
patton; and yet not so far, as to suffer any
privations. The neighborhood is wealthy,
and the society moral and intelligent.
Young persons from abroad can be boarded
in the most genteel private families, or in
the institution, where the most scrupulous
attention will be paid to their well being.
Mr.. Lewis, the principal, is well known
in this community as an experienced teach
err, a scholar, and gentleman. His indefal-
igable industry and devotion to his bust
ness, insure the permanency of the Semina-
~; and his afeclionate department endears
him to all his pupils.
OF Mr.. Mann, his assistant, we need only
say, that he has worn well for years, and
that he is most popular where he is known
best. We are happy to learn, that Mr.
Joshua Belden, Of Monticello, gentleman
eminent.y qualified by experience, and q
graduate of Yale College, Conn, is engaged
as teacher, for the future.
The united efforts of these three persons
with the assistance of Mrs. Lewis, we are
convinced, will more than ever, give this
Institution claims on the public patronage.
Those who are not personally acquainted
with it, and wish further Information, we
invite to attend with US, the ensuing exam
iuation. Very respectfully,

THORN FENCES.

We regret that there is little attention paid 10
this branch Of domestic agriculture: scarcely is
probable that with all the hardy, thick growing and
spine produ"ing plants OF country to select FROM
there should be nothing suitable for the important
purpose Of fencing. We have seen acres of land,
which had been cleared many years ag~, and then
left, covered with thorn hat had sprung up sponan-
euus ly, ind in impenerabe masses. In other parts
of country. the woods are filled with the native
thorn. Now it may be considered well establish
ed fact, that any plant or shrub that will spring up
and flourish in wild state, may in the same place
and soils, by suitable course Of cultivation. be
made to grow in subserviency to the wishes Of
men.
Thus there is nothing to hinder first rate thorn
fence in our soils. The difficulty of making the
seeds OF haws grow. has had its influence in pre-
venting the culture Of the thorn but Mr.. Chiswell
IN late number Of the Cuivator, gives the follow
ing directions, which seem likely to be successful:
1.-The berries should he gathered when ripe and
spread on loft, where they may remain until Feb
uary, when they must be soaked until the pulp be-
comes soft, which will only require few days in
cellar; then they must be carefully mashed 50
to break the Seed and the pnlp washed off, by rub
hing the seed in a vessel of water, and pouring off
the water until the pulp is perfectly clean; in this
moist state seeds must be kept in tight vessel in
a cool and damp place, covered with wet cloth,
and turned upside down, or out of one vessel into
another. about q week, or as often as is neces-
sary 10 prevent tnem from becoming 100 Dry on tie
top.
As early in March-Mr. c. lives in Mary land:
and here we should think April more suitable than
March-as soon as the season will admit seed bed
to be prepared; one must be made which would
advise to be laid, inclining 10 be little moist
1.-THE ground be burnt first, much the better
About this time you will find the seeds begin 20
burst, soon as they generally begin to open a.
some to sprout, SOW them broad cast and pretty
thick, and cover them about one inch deep, by ia.
king the surthce earth with spade or shovel, OUT
the distance Of four feet apart through your bed;
which trenches to stand in to pick the weeds
from the young plants, which must be attended to-
as the plants at first very tender, md would be
lost by letting the weeds them at first. If
the weather is favorable, and the seeds in proper
state they will be up in week, and will grow the
first season from II to IS inches high; the largest
will do to plant in the hedge next spring, and the
balance the following spring.

He was my fathers guest;
gave him not one smile more kind
Than those l gave the rest;
He sat beside me at the board,
The choice was not my own,
But, oh! | never heard q voice
With half SO sweet q tone.
And at the dance again we met.
Again was his choice,
Again heard the gentle tone
Of that beguling voice;
/ sought him not he led me forth
From all the fairest there,
And told me he had never seen
a face he thought SO fair
Oh! wherefore did he tell this!
His praises made me vain;
And when he left me how longed
To hear that voice again;
! wondered how my old pursuits
Had lost their wonted charm,
And why the path was dull, unless
uPOu biS el"'
Alas might have guessed the cause;
For what could make me shun
My parents cheerful dwelling place
To wander all alone?
And what could make me braid my hair,
And study TO improve
The form he had deigned to praise;
What could it be--but love!
Oh! little knew of the world,
And less Of mans career;
thought each smile was kindly meant,
Each word Of praise sincere.
His sweet voice spoke of endless love-
listened and believed,
And little dreamed how oft before
That sweet voice had deceived.
He smiles upon another now.
And in the same sweet tone
He breathes to her those winning words
/ once thought all my own.
Oh! why is she so beautiful!
cannot blame her choice,
Nor can doubt she will be won
By that beguiing voice.
