True and false Deszeacy.

Above every other feature which adorns the
female character, delicacy stands foremost with
in the province of GOOD taste. Not that delica-
cy which is perpetualy in quest of something
10 be ashamed of, which makes a merit of a
blush, and shippers at the false construction its
own ingenuity has put upon an innocent remark.
This spurious kind of delieacy is as far removed
from good taste, as from good feeling, and good
sense; but that high minded deicacy which
maintains It's pure aud underwriting walk alike
amongst women as in the society OF men; which
shrinks from no necessary duty and can speak
when required, with seriousness and kindness
of things al which it would be ashamed, indeed,
10 smile or 10 bIush---that delicacy W hich knows
how TO confer benefit without wounding the
feelings of another, and which understands al
so how, and when 10 receive 0ne-.-lhat dellca-
cy which can give aims without display, and
advice without assuming; and which pains not
the most humble of susceptible beings in crea-
tion This is the delicacy which forms so i'm
porant part Of good taste, that where 1t does
not exist as a natural instinct, il IS taught as the
first principle of good manners, and considered
as the universal passport TO good society. Nor
can this, the greatest charm of female charac-
ter, if totally neglected in youth, ever be ac-
CURED in after life When the mind has been
accustomed to what is vulgar, or gross. the fine
edge of feeling is gone, and nothing can restore
it. It's comparatively easy, on first entering
upon life, 10 maintain the page Of thought un-
sulIied, by closing it against every improper
image; but when once such images are allowed
10 mingle with The Imagination, so as 10 &c con-
stantly revived by memory, and thus to give
their tone TO the habiiual mode of the female
character may indeed be said to be gone and
lis glory departed.---llrs. EAis's Daughters Of

A few weeks since, man. IN the nelghbOr-

close upon him. The animal rose up before
him, and was attempting TO give him not very

her paw, the man struck her with his gun with
all his strength; second blow broke his gun,

with this he struck the bear with all his strength

with his left hand he actually beat the bear to

skin, which is nearly cut through IN several
places about the head.

him, and saw him goto a three cent gin shop,

his pennies and laid them out for gin Every
effort was made TO save him, but without avail,
and he died soon after Of the delirium tremens.

POETRY.
The Angel and the Child.

An Angel form, with brow of light,
Watched DER sleeping infants dream,
And gazed, as tho his visage bright
He there beheld as in a stream.
Fair child, whose face is like to mine,
Oh come" he said, "and fly with me;
Come forth to happiness divine,
For ca, tn is all unworthy thee.
Here perfect bliss thou canst not know;
The soul amidst its pleasures sighs,
Al sounds of Joy are full of woe,
Eniovments are but miseries.
Pear stalks amidst the gorgeous shows;
And tho serene the day may rise,
Il lasts not brilliant to its close,
And tempests sleep in calmest skies.
ALAS, shall sorrow, doubts and fears
Deform a brow so pure as this.-
And shall the bitterness oftears
Dim those blue eyes that speak of bliss
No, no along the realms Ofspace,
Far from all care, let US 6egone;
Kind Providence shall give the grace
For these few years thou mightst live on.
"No mourning weeds, no sound of wall
Thy chainless spirit shall annoy;
Thy kindred shall thy absence hail,
Even as thy coming gave them JOY.
NO cloud on any brow shall rest,
Nought speak Of tombs or sadness there;
Offerings, like, thee, pure and blest,
The latest hour should be most fair"
The angel shook his snowy wings,
And thro' the fields Of ether sped,
Where Heavens eternal music rings
-Mother-alasi-thy son is dead!

MANY an unwise parent Iabors hard and
lives sparingly all his life for the purpose Of
leaving enough 10 give his children start in the
world, as it is called. Setting young man
afIoas with money left him by his relatives, is
like tying bladders under the arm Of one who
cannot swim; ten chances 10 one he will lose
his bladders and 90 to the bottom. Teach him
TO swim and he will never need Tie bIadGers.
Give your child sound education, and you
have done enough for him. See TO II that his
morals are pure, his mind cultivated, and his
whole nature made subservient TO the laws
which govern man, and you have what will be
of more value than the wealth OF the Indles.---
You have given him a start which no misioF-
tune can deprive him of. The earlier you
teach him 10 depend upon his own resources
the better"

LARGE BREwERIEs were in a successful tide OF
operation. And with what feelings OF pride,

Hens will lay eggs PerpetaaIly, if treated in

fall, till they appear again in the spring. New
er allow any eggs to remain in the nest for
what is called nest eggs. When the roos,ers
do run with the hens and no nest eggs are elI
in the nest, the hens will not cease laying after
the production of twelve or fifteen eggs, as they
always DO when roosters and nest eggs are al
lowed, but continue laying Perpetually. My
hens always lay all winter, and each from sew.
enty-fre 10 one hundred eggs in succession.
If the above plan were generally followed, eggs
would be just as plenty in winter as in summer.
The only reason why hens Do not lay in win
ter as freely as in the summer, is the want Of
an;n,a! feed, which they get in summer in abun-
dance in the form Of insects. | have for seve-
raj winters reduced my theory TO practice, and
proved its entire correctness. 1t must be OBJ
served that the presence Of the maj is not ne
cessary for the production of eggs, as they are
formed whether the male be present or not. Oh
course such eggs will not produce chickens.
