I'll GRAVE.

The grave, the cold, the damp, and
cheGrless grave is the limit Of mans am
bltlon. When we look back Oh by gone
year and memory brings up before It's the
actors O! the busy scenes ofthose days,we
enquire, where are theyi where are those
who mingled in the walks Of fashion and
The giddy rounds of pleasure Alas, many
OF them are no more; the grave has claim
ed them as its tribute. they haze ming
led with the "pa!e nations of the dead,'
and their names are nearly lorgo ten,
Where the warrior whose brow was
crowned with laurels and who was greet
ed with acclama ions bv the multitude
Tor his yaIorous deeds2 IIe has gone tie
va, o, ali the earth, the narrow house con-
talns him. Where is the rich man, he who
lived in splendor and magniticence, ieas-
ted on the dellcacies and Injuries of all
climates, rejoiced in the abundance of his
professions, and disDised and oppre sed
the poor man? His wealth could not
save him. he has gone down to the .'Stones
OF the plt." Where is the harl working
man, who rose up early and toiled late, in
order to amass worldly possessions2 alas!
they now avail him little; he sleeps i'll
quiet beneath the clods of the valley
The young man to, who "corbined
strength with gracelulness and the young
women also. with beauty around her as
light" all have sunk into the ''dreary re-
gions Of the dead" On gravel o grave
lnsatiarl" grave! Thou wilt soon en-
gulf in thy silent cayerns all the busy null
tltute who now swarm on the face cf the
earth; Y ca, al! the myriads Of human be-
ings who throGg the busy avenues of the
great cities of the earth and APPEAR more
numerous than the insects that futter in
the sunshine, they all ere long will be in
thy gloomy domnions, o grave! thou

A WARNING VOICE TO YOUNG Mn
A writer in the Knickerbocker draws, in
the subcined brief sketch, revolving
picture. Yet how many young men are
chasing glded butterflies things Of
day!
How super or, thought l. is the love
OF this young girl, unaccustomed to the
world, 10 that of the heartless and false
dol! OF dress, whose every wcrl, is for el-
feet, x every thoughta desire for adlnira-
ton; who can sacrifice domestic pleasure
and follow fashion and vce--vice of
thought-wao lives only in crowds, and
is miserable alone; who loves pleasure
supremely-takes husband for his car
riage and house--and enters marimony
for the liberty it allows her There are
such women; the idols of the ball room,
the bellies of the watering places,-They
enjoy butterfly celebrity, and then de-
cay early in mind and body, victims to
fashion, or worse. What thoughts must
linger around the bosoms of such women
On their dying beds, as they think of their
neglected Tod! Dung men KNOW not
what they follow, as they glide on in the
wake of the siren of the dance. Tney
are the false lights which meteors hold
out to draw the tumbling ship upon the
rocks. They lure us with music, and
the pattering of tiny feet, and jewel
led fingers, and false smiles, and false
hearts; and when the victim is caught,
like the yelled prophet, they display their
awful hideousness. No, no! Love is
found in gentle hearts. 1t dwells not a.
mid the riots of pleasure-it dies i'll the
glare of splendor, and cannot live in a
heart devoted to dress and weak follles;
it is more matured in quietness than loud
applause or the worlds praise. Give me
the sharply defined feelings of a young
and timid girl, and leave you the profess
sions of gaudy coquette."

By JOSEPH JOHN GURNEY.
Thou radiant star of the darkening West
Thou diadem in the tran,
OF the sable Queen whose velvet vest,
Envelopes The dewy train;
Gladly hail the mellow light
That FROM thy centre flows,
And gaze with joy on the diadem bright
Thy circli G beams compose.
Now steady is each pencilled ray,
How calm thy vestal flame,
Sent by the glorious monarch Of day,
From age to age the same;
Thy lamp is hung in the Heavens above,
In the midst of ETHEREAL blue,
OF the church redeemed bv Saviour,
love,
Perpetual type and true.
When $, ROW o'ershadows each tempered
gem,
OF mans uncertain story,
The church lights up her diadem,
And travels her path to glory;
And why SO pure and steady the ray,
'Tha! 'llumes her race of duty,
Because from Christ the fountain of day,
She has borrowed all her beauty.

AN ENORMOUS STEAMER.

The great iron steamer now beng built
at Bristol, in England, will no donbt, when
completed, be regarded as one of the most
extraordinary mechanical wonders in the
world. She will carry five masts, and
her tonnage will reach the enormous ex-
tent of 5000. Her length on deck is 324
feet She will have four engines OF oOo
horse power each, and she is expected to
be completed by the LIST OF May next
She is designed in the first place, for the
Archimedes screw; but should that fail,
she is so constructed that paddlers may be
readily resorted to. Her hull is divided
into compartments, so that if one should
become injured, the accident would not
effect the safety of the vessel. Her work.
manship throughout is described as of the
very highest style ofart. She will be I'LL
led with water before she is launched,
and thus her tightness tested. The iron
GALL wrought is morethan half an inch
thick. Sue will cost something like
S5OO,OOO, and as is supposed, will be
commanded by Captain Hosken

THE CAROUSAL AT VIENNA, DEC. 1S41
BY LORD WILLIAM LENNOX.

"Like wave of steel and gold,
Swept the lovely pageant on:
Many champion young and bold
Bearing lance and gonfalon. -Blackwoods Mag.
Nothing could exceed the magnfcence of this
spectacle, which was performed by young men of
noble birth, and took place in the Imperial II iding
School. This was large building surrounded by
narrow gallery about twelve feet from the ground
communicating with the apartments of the palace,
and running behind the handsome COrinthian col
umns which supported a second gallery above the
whole was most brilliantly Illuminated. The &C
commodatIons were calculated to hold about thou
sand spectators-the seats at the end of the room
being set apart for the crowned heads, and at the
other toI twenty-four ladies', whom we were to con-
slider the admired objects which would this evening
call forth the eXertions of skill and prowess in the
aspiring knights. AT eight o'clock the heralds
sounded their trumpets, announcing the entrance
of these fair ladies, who, conducted by the cham
pon knights took their places of distinction. One
would have imagined that all the riches of Vienna
had been collected adorn these queens of beauty
Their dresses, of velvet and gold, We're covered
with pearls and diamonds They were divided into
four companies, distinguished by the colors they
wore: of one party, the velvet was black of an
other scarlet of the third, crimson and of the
fourth blue: and the mantle of each knight CORE
sponded with the dress of his lady fair. The knights
were in Spanish costume, spendidy adorned with
gold and silver. The rumpets sounded to
announce the arrival of the Court. On the en-
trance of the sovereIgns, the band struck up the
national air. "God save the Emperor" and ac-
carnations rent the roof The Emperors of Russia
and Austria took their places IN the centre, at the
front, with the Expresses on each side; and then
all the other soveregns, princes and potentates, in
their order of presidency. They were all in their
full uniform. and formed as magnificent an assem-
blage as Europe could produce. The building now
resounded with martial airs, and the twenty -four
knights entered the arena, mounted their gallant
steeds whose natural colors hardly to be
ced through their gold embroidery and trappings.
The knights, attended by their esqures in more
simple Spanish dresses, all mounted on jet black
horses, approached the sovereigns in body, and
saluted with their lances Then, wheeling round
with rapidity, they advanced, and paid the same
mark of respect to the ladies, who, standing up,
graciously returned their salutations. The knights
then. skilfully man9uvering their well trained hor
SEES retired from the arena; but four them quick

the evening For this service, figures were placed.
bearing the grim heads of Turks and Moors.-
Towards these each knight was to advance, and,
passing at full speed, strike off in succession all the
heads with his sword; then, in like manner, to
raise them from the ground with his weapon and
so, In various ways, give proof of prowess In the
exercise of combat All the knig hts then entered
in parties of four, and went through their evolutons
the military bands playing appropriate airs or mar
tial fiourishes.
A considerable time having been occupied by
these amusements, the scene again changed, and
the whole company of knights and squires appeared
together, and went through rapid movements, skill
fully managing their horses while at full speed, IN
all the crossings and turnings, and windngs of an
English country dance, and the more graceful mo-
tons of French quadrille Other trials of skill sue
ceeded, in which they passed their lances at full
speed through rings, or disengaged small objects
suspended at a height above them. The exercises
being ended, the knights again saluted the court,
and their ladies' and, encouraged by their smiles
and applauses, re-appeared to lead them in tri-
umph to the ball prepared in the grand saloon of the
Redoubt. The whole amply realized every antici-
patton of an imperial entertainments; whatever was
august in sovereignty, warlke in the field, great in
the Senate, assisted spectators at the carousal,
and not knight entered into the list in whose veins
the noblest blood did not flow. 1t called to mind
the days of ancient chivalry when those military
sports formed so large part OF the amusements of
the European courts.

GEN. JACKSON'S OPINION OF PRESI
DENT TYLER.

We copy into paper of to-day, the conclu-
ding para graph of Gen. Jackson's letter, to a COM
mittee in Tennessee, inviting him to participate
with them and their friends in dinner OF compli-
ment to Governor Polk, the intimate personal friend
of the Old Hero. A careful perusal OF the extract
will convince every that Gen. jackson has an
abiding confidence in the republican principles of
President Tyler Phil. Sen.
| congratulate you, gentlemen, as do our coun-
try at large on having at the head OF the govern
ment President, who, upon one question at least,
has strict and conscientious regard tor the Con-
stitution-who has not swerved from his integrity,
in the discharge of one of the highes duties devov
ing on the Executive-who has preserved his own
consistency by averting the blow aimed at our lib
critics, through attempt TO establish another mo-
MED corporation with powers enough to destroy
individual freedom in elections and to overshadow
the blessings of our republican lnstitutions-who
has fearessly asserted and faithfully exercised his
prerogative that this free and most perfect system
of civil government may be administered by men
and not by money. And gentlemen, | may add
that in the ability and determination of the Presi-
dent to maintain the government on principles
purely republican, | have the most abiding conf
dence.
Accept for yourselves, and for those whom you
represent my best wishes.
Your fellow citizen,
ANDREW JACKSON.

"Sheep, especially, are extremely fond
of it, preferring it to pure salt, and eating
it as eagerly as they do meal or corn.-
AS to the general efficacy of the practice,
and its tendency as respects the health of
stock. | will merely say in conclusion, that
| am acquainted with several farmers that
have made the same trial, and that in no
instance, with which | am familiar, or
which has fallen under my notice, has it
been attended with other than the best eff
fects. The proportions in which the in
gradients should be given, are one part
salt to seven of ashes. The salt should be
fine, and the ashes dry and free from Goals.
If thought necessary, the salt may be in
creased in quantity to two or even three
quarts instead of one. Try it, farmers,
and see if it doth not 'do good like me-
dcine ,"

SALT AND ASHES MIXED FOR STOCK
A correspondent Of the Farmers Journal.
presents the following testimony as his ex-
perience Of the value Of mixing salt and
ashes for stock.
"Having tested the utility OF the prac-
tice, | am now prepared to speak favora-
bly, of it, and from firm conviction that
stock, Of all descriptions, are essentially
benefited thereby. My cows, work-hor-
ses, and young cattle, as we'll as sheep,
have been regularly supplied with it, as Of
ten as once week, since the snow went
off, and Notwithstanding the feed in the
pastures has been quite short, in conse-
quence of drought, for large part of the
season, the animals are healthy, and gene
rally in better condition than we have
known them for years.

BREAKING PRAIRIE.
JNo. S. WRIGHT, ESQ.

JNo. S. WRIGHT, Esq.
Dear Sr,-I noticed in the Agricutu-
rist Of May, an article from the pen of J.
ID. Cation, Esq, on the subject Of breaking
prairie, to which few additional observa-
tons might with propriety be appended.
| am disposed to dissent in some degree,
from what Mr.. Cation says on the subject
of deep breaking. My ownpreposessions
were at first much in favor Of it; but from
observation my ideas have undergone con-
siderable modification on the subject Any
one who will break piece Of prairie IN
June, and cross plough it the following
spring, will notice that the plough will run
with about as much ease, an inch or two be-
lo'c the first ploughing,as at the same depth;
or, in other words, that the decomposition
has extended beloac the breaking; and that
the earth will be even mellower there, than
that turned over. 1t will be noticed too,
that this will be the case in better degree
where the breaking has been shoal, than
where it has been deep. Consequently,
it will be found, that the depth of the
breaking has less to do with the dccompo-
sition, than the reason of doing it.
am disposed to think the advantages
greatly in favor of light breaking, for the
following reasons--(a and by light breaking
| mean two and half or three inches y
lst 1t requires less team, and can gene
rally be turned better. 3D. 1t rots better
the first season, and greatly increases the
first crop; and 3D.. The decomposition goes
on better below the turf; consequently the
land will be in better state at the end of
two or three years than if broken deep at
first. The only objection that know Of
to shoal breaking is, when crop is sown
on the sod, The difficulty Of getting suffi-
cient earth to cover the seed; and this as
far as it goes is real one. But TO sup
pose that the roots Of a crop extend only
through the breaking, is absurd; observa-
ton will convince any one that it is So
To be convinced that turning over the sod
is no: necessary to decompose it; let any
one cover piece Of prairie with shavings,
straw, or even with boards, so as to pre-
vent the growth of vegetation for year,
and then dig or plough it. believe the
better way decidedly is to break light, and
| gradually deepen at subsequent loughngs.
Considerable changes in the manner of
! breaking nave Oeeh introduced In this part
of the country. 1t was formery cusloma-
ry to do it with very large ploughs, cut
ting from % to % or 30 inches. drawn by
six or eight yoke Of cattle. Much Of it is
now done with ploughs cutting from II to
16 inches, drawn by three or four yoke.
such team, with one man only, will turn
over one and half or two acres per dav.
| am aware that these ideas conflict
strongly with those Of Mr. Caton-but am
strongly convinced Of their truth. arm
willing, however, that others should select
their own fashion, after hearing both sides;
or rather, after making trial of both ways.
Yours respectfully,
| J. A. WRIGHT.

THE GONE MAN PowER."-If TO clear the way
for Bank, for any other object, this suspensve
power of the President over Bills this one man
power, is to be struck from the Constitution, why
not 60 to the root of the at once and strike
from the Constitution other parts or the one man
power, which are at present among the functions
of the Executive
In fact, 1t is proposed in that document to do
this; for example, to give Congress jurisdiction
over removals from office and administration of the
Treasury.
Do this-take away the Veto, so as to leave the
power of Congress unchecked, that is, absolute for
all liberty exists by means of checks on despotism
abandon to 1t not only the law making power and the
money power-and where then stand the Liberties
Of the People Of the United States? Nominally in
the hands of Congress, really in those of an an
checked and untempered party majority Of Con-
greSs; nominally in the hands prescribed by the
Constitution, really in those of heated and desp0-
TIC party nomnally in the responsible hands
OF the Senate and House, really In the irresponsible
ones of some one man behind the scenes, welding
the Government through Congress and Congress
through the Caucus.
| want no such Government. The dark shadow
OF Its threatened coming is enough for me. Save
the country from the despotism of Congress on the
one hand, as well from that of the Executive on
the other, by continuing to each the partition of
powers as the Constitution provides l-THon. Ca
