have observed (says modern writer) that a
married man falling into misfortune is more apt
to retrieve his situation in the world than 4 sin
gle one, chiefly because his spirits are soothed
and relieved by domestic endearments and self
respect, kept alive by finding that although all
abroad the darkness and humiliation, vet there
is still little world at home of which he is the
monarch. Whereas single man is apt to run
to waste and self-neglect, and to fall to ruins,
like some deserted mansion, for want of an in
habant. have often had occasion to remark
the fortitude with which women sustain the most
overwhelming reverscs of fortune. Those dis

From the whitney Expedition.

One of the party which went out with Mr..
Whitney TO survey the route of Il railroad to the
Pacific, writes 10 his friend in Rochester, under
date of July 24th:-"We are now ninety miles
west of Prairie du Chen, and from the Mjssis-
sippi river. We are progressing slowly, and are
all in good health and fine spirits We have ira
yelled only 10, l3, and II miles day, since we
left the Mississippi, on account of the heat, the
thermometer standing at SO degrees in the shade.
In crossing the streams we sometimes had TO un-
load the wagon two or three times a day, and
lift it over by hand Some of US have enjoyed
the luxury Of sleeping over night in wet clothes
from standing in the mud and water, waist deep,
to lift out the wagon. This, however, we re.
gard as only one of the varieties of our prairie
life.

Selling Circassian women.

1t may surprise Europeans that people so
fond of liberty as the Circassans, should make u
traffic of their daughters by selling them 10 sran-
gers,it is, however, considered an honorable man
ner of providing for them; the maidens them
selves do not object to 1t, and be it observed that
the chiefs seldom sell their children to stran-
ger, their daughters being too much sought after
by their counrymen. Before the Russian war,
during the feuds that prevailed among the in
habiants, 1t frequently happened that the mem
bers of one tribe would steal the daughters OF
another and sell them: since, however, they have
made one common cause against the Russians
such acts have entirely ceased. There is now
also much difficulty in smuggling the maidens to
Constantinople, in consequence of the very Sc
we're blockade kept by the Russians on the coast
and from the present limited commerce with
Persia and Turkey the price of Circassian wo-
man in Circassla has very mnch decreased
Formerly, for maiden, would be demanded
from hundred to a hundred and fifty cows and
oxen, or their equivalent; now very handsome
GIL may be bought for fifteen, and perfectly
beautiful one for thirty, circumstance much
reioiced at by the poorer Circassans, for beauty
of form and figure is more priced than mental ac-
accomplishments.
The ceremony of marriage is very similar TO
what il is in Persia, with the exception that as
the Circassian maiden constantly wears from
her childhood a tight corset, the bridegroom, as
soon as he is alone with his newly married bride,
rips il open with his dagger, proceeding at
tended sometimes by serious consequences, both
from the danger the girl runs of being wounded
by the point of the weapon, and also from the too
great suddenness with which she is deprived Of
the tight banduge that has encrcled her for so
long period,
As in Persia, wife is purchased by her hus-
band of her parents; the price is usually paid in
cattle, though sometimes in what is at the mo
ment the most necessary TO The family. There is
also sum settled to be paid as dowry 10 the
wife, in case she be divorcee without just
cause.

SlRcaring Lambs.

The shearing of lambs the first season is of
doubtful utility. We have reports of but few
experiments on the subject in this country; and
those who have made experiments differ in opn-
ion. A number Of experiments have been made
in England, and the general opinion seems to be
against shearing lambs
But as opinions are various, il is a good SUBJ
IecI for experiment, and we hope that it will be
fairly tested, if it has not already been done by
these who have paid particular attention to raj
sing sheep. There are some advantages in shear
ing lambs, and it would be well to learn whether
there are any disadvantages of consequence.
| lflambs are divested of their fleece, it should
be done in good season. say the latter part of Ju-
y or the lst OF August, the animal may have
| the double advantage Of being rid of warm
fleece in summer, and have new one grow out
in season for cold weather
Early lambs Of good size will yield fleece of
one and half or two pounds, and it is fine ar-
ticle in the manufacture of hats. AS the lambs
uy being shearcd will be rid of ticks and an un-
comfortable covering, they will become more vig-
orous, and this will in some measure counterba-
lance the disadvantage of having lighter pro-
lection for winter. Some who have tried, say
that lambs sheared the first summer will winter
as wen, ana ever atlcr produce as Soou anu dS
long hoeces IS though they had not been clip
ped the first season.
Yet as some who have made careful expert
ments have different opinion, we would recon-
nerd it for trial, and not for general Practice
In making experiments, pick out pair lambs of
The same size, and similar heeces; shear one of
a pair, note the weight of the fleece, and next
season compare their Aeeces in weight and qua
IIity. Further, select u few lambs and shear one
side only, weigh the WOOL and next season shear
and weigh each side separately. This expert
ment may not be beautiful, but it will be useful,
as it will be very exact, so far as to ascertain the
effect on the wool in flture-b.

The Freeman's Journal, published at Dublin
Ireland, thus alludes 10 the death of the late cx
President Jackson:

The new world has lost a second Washington

may differ somewhat, their moral condition was
The same. Times and temperament modify the
Operations of similar principles, and so with
them. Jackson was more ardent, more tenac

tons. He was man of unparalleled Grmness
in the camp and in the cabinet. Made as if to
mould the future moral character of America, his
own was deeply marked with all the great repub

T'wenty-One,


James, in his beautiful novel of Morley Ern-
stein, thus speaks of the age of twenty-one:
at is a beautiful age, full of the spring, with
all the vgor of manhood, without one touch of
Its feebleness! Oh, one-and-iwenty bright one
Iand-twenty! wilt thou never come back 10 me
again? No, never The cord of the bow has
beenso often drawn, that has lost its elasticity;
there have been thousand flowers cast away
that have withered in the dust Of Times sandy
path; there have been thousand fruits tasted
that have left but the rind in the hands; there
have been thousand travel stains acquired that
never can be washed off ill the Journey is done.
That which has been lost, and that which has
been gained, have both been gathered into the
two baskets of the past; and whatever the future
may have in store, one-and-wenty, with its ma
my hopes, IFS few fears, IFS buoyancy of spirit, its
elasticity of limbs its eagerness of expectation,
its activity of pursuit, its aspirations, lis desires,
its faith, its confidence, its fankness, IFS garden
of visionary flowers, and IFS atmosphere of misty
light, can never, never come back to us, were
we to whistle ill we break our hearts. No, no;
in the sad arithmetic Of years, multiply by what
numbers you will, you can never get at one-and-
twenty more than once.'

AGRICULTURAL.
BGIddinS.

If trees are young and very thrifty, as is the
case in well managed nurseries, the first of Aug
ust is about the time for budding, though some
thing depends on the season as 10 forwardness,
and the state Of the weather as TO drought and
moisture, cold and heat. Sometimes from cold
and drought, trees will cease 10 grow much ealli-
er than in more favorable seasons. as from heat
and rain they may grow longer than usual.
The cherry should be budded first, and then
the plum, pear and apple in order. In some sea-
sons the apple may not be budded until nearly
The last Of August, but generally it should be
done earlier. Peach trees of one years growth
should be budded in this climate, from the first
10 the middle of September; older trees, if not
very thrifty, the last of August or the first of
September We have budded young peach trees
the 20h of Septembe; and they have succeeded
well, when eight or ten days of warm growing
weather succeeded, giving lime for the bud to
unite with he stock. But if cold dry weather
succeed late budding, as is often the case, there
will be a general failure.
Budding should be performed when the bark
pecls freely, and then the cambrium, (n some
places scalledsliver) soft mucilaginous substance
between the bark and wood, furnishes a soft and
nourishing bed for the bud uniting it to the stock.
(LndenI tree, are generally tied round the stock
enclosing the bud in the bark. AS some per-
sons have found it difficult 10 loosen TIE bandage
on the stock at the proper time, it is desirable to
have some elastic substance that may remain on

in time, 1t will bind the stock and bud 10 their

soon, the bark Of The stock viii open, and the
bud will be lost Therefore it will save much
loss and trouble, especially TO those who have
not much experience, 10 have something for ty-
ing that may remain. We would recommend the
trial Of strips Of woollen, particularly to those
who cannot we'll judge Of the proper time for re-

NEVER GIVE UP.

Never give up it is wiser and better
Always to hope than once to despair;
Fling off the load of Doubts cnnlSering fetter,
And break the dark spell of tyrannical care:
Never give up or the burthen may sink you
Providence kindly has mingled the cup,
And in all trials or troubles, bothink you,
The watchword of life must be, Never give up!
Never give up! there are chances and changes
HelNasg the hopeful hundred to one,
And, Though the chaos, High Wisdom arranges
Ever success-if you'll only hope on:
Never give up for the wisest is boldest,
knowing that Providence minglos the cup,
And ofall maXims the best, as the oldest,
Is the true watchword of Never give up.
Never give up though the grape-shot may rattle,
Or the full thunder cloud over you burst,
Stand like rock, in the storm or the battle
Little shall harm you, though doingt their worst
Never give up if adversity presses
Providence wisely has mingled the cup,
And the best counsel, in all your disresses,
Is the stout watchword of Never give up.

MAN AND WOMAN.

Manis the rugged lofty pine
That frowns on many wave beat shore
Woman the tender graceful vine,
Whose curling tendrils round it twine,
And deck its rough bark sweetly DER.
Man is the rock, whose towering crest
Mods o'er the mountains barren side;
Woman IS the soft and mossy vest,
That loves to clasp its sterile breast,
And wreath its brow in verdant pride.
Man is the cloud of coming storm,
Dark as the ravens murky plumoI
Save where the sunbeam, light and warm,
OF woman's soul and woman's form,
CLEANS lightly on the gathering gloom.
Yes. lovely sex! to you is given
Towile our hearts with angel sway;
Blend with each woe a bhssful lenven,
Change earth into an embryo Heaven,
And sweetly smile our cares away.

Eloquent Extract.

A spirit Of fault finding; an unsatished temper;
IA constant irritablity; little inequalities in the
look, the temper, OF the manner; brow cloudy
and dissatisfaction husband or your wife can
not tell why-wil more than neutralize all the
good you can do, and render life anything but
Ia blessing 1t is in such gentle and quiet vir-
tues as meekness and forbearance, that the hap
piness and usefulness of life consist, far more
than in brilliant eloquence, in splendid talent,
or illuslrious deeds that shall send the name TO
| future times.
Ii is the bubbng spring which flows gently;
the little rivulet that gdes through the meadow,
and which runs along day and night by the farm
house that is useful, rather than the swollen flood
or the warning cataract. Niagara excites our
wonder; and we stand amazed at the power and
greatness of God there, as he 'pours it from his
hollow hand' But one Niagara is enough for a
continent or world while that same world
needs thousands and tens of thousands of silver
fountains and gently flowing rivulets, that shall
water every farm and every meadow, and every
garden, and that shall flow on, every day and
every night with their gentle and quiet beauty.
So with the acts of our lives. II is not by great
deeds only, like those of Howard, not by great
sulcrings only, like those of the martyrs-that
good is 10 be done; it is by the daily and quiet
virtues of life-the christian temper, the meek
forbearance, the spirit of forgiveness in the hus-
band, the wife, the father, the mother, the broth
er, the sister, the friend, The neighbor, the good
is 10 be done and in this all may be useful.

During hayng and the grain harvest, weeds
are often making rapid progress, and every OPP
porunity when the weather is unfavorable for
harvesting should be embraced for destroying
weeds before they produce seeds And such as
have seeded should be piled up for fermentation,
or thrown into the hog yard, that the seeds may
be destroyed before the manure is applied. 1t
is great draw back upon the profit of tllage
lands TO have weeds continually shooting up du-
ring the whole season; and every farmer should
endeavor 10 rid his land Of such troublesome
pants.--U.
