The season of youth is consecrated to the ex-
ercise of the body, which strengthens it, and not
to study, which debiltates g. prevents its growth.
Nature can never successfully carry on two rapid
developments at the same time When the
growth of intellect is too prompt, faculties are
too early developed, and mental application is
permitted in proportion to this Development the
body receives no part of it, because the nerves
cease to contribute to its exigencies; the victim
becomes exhausted, and eventually dies of some
insidious malady. The parents and guardians
who require and encourage this forced applica-
ton, treat their pupils as gardeners their plants,
who, in trying to produce the first rarties Of the
season. sacrifice some plants to force others to
put forth fruit and flowers, which are always Of
shorter DURATION and are inferior in every res
pect to those which come to their maturity at a
proper season. TSSOt.

HONORABLE CONCESSION.

Coz. ETHAN ALLEN, the hero of Ticonderoga,
through brave and honored patriot, was an a
vowed deist He wrote several works against
Christianity, one of which, profanely entitled
"Allens Bible" has caused the ruin of many a
young man, impatient ofrelgous restraint.
While seated in his quiet home, glorying in
the independence he had so bravely contributed
to procure, and exulting still more in his imagin-
ed triumphs over religion, he was suddenly called
to the death-bed of "a tenderly beloved child
She had been well instructed by her mother, in
the principles and duties of Revealed Religion;
and at this trying hour it afforded her, not mere
y consolation, but triumphant JOY
When her father, whom she had ever regard
ed with respect and warm Affection arrived, and
was bending over her couch, she threw her arms
around his neck, and with a look of unuttera.
bic kindness said-"Father, am dyng-tell
me,-shall go into eternity, believing your sen
timents, or what my mother has taught me!'
The veteran, whom no argument had ever
shaken, who had stood unmoved in the battle
field, surprised by her heavenly serenity and con
fdence, tremblingly replied ,-"My daughter, m,
dying daughter, believe what your mother ha
taught you"
How utterly worthless, at that moment, mus
have appeared all his boosted reasoning against
religion, which could thus give victory in death
by bringing life and Immortality to light An
who in such circumstances, would not say, LIE
me die the death of the righteous?

CUCUMBERS AND ELONS-PROTEC-
TION AGAINST BUGS.

Cucumbers and melons for picking, may be
planted till the first of July. New land lately
cleared from the forest, is best for vines, if it can
year in sod and planted with corn or potatoes, is
to be preferred 1t shonld be of medium state
of richness and dryness, better crop, so far as
our experience goes, being more generally obtain
ed from such land, than that which is extremely
rich Make the hills seven or eight feet apart
A very common error is to make them too close
so that the vines have not room enough, and they
smother each other Hog manure, that is pretty
well rotted, or that which is in green state well
mixed with muck and leached ashes, will do we'll
The manure of pigeons and hens is also excellent,
but is very strong, and should be mixed with
double its bulk of loan or muck. Dig the holes
for the hills so deep that peck at least of ma
nure, may be put in without coming above the
surface of the earth, level it off and plant the seed
To provide against the bugs and worms, it is
best to plant large quantity of seed. Ifthere is
twelve to fifteen plants to a hill while they are
small no injury will be done; but they should be
thinned to no more than three, Just before they
begin to run, and have got well out Of the way of
insects. To keep off the bugs, millnet-boXes
are the best preventive while the plants are small,
and that is the time they are most likely to be in
jured The boxes are cheap-made Of pine
boards six inches wide, merely nailed together
spuare-the edge of the boards on two sides groo-
ved-the millinet drawn over and fastenened by
tongues driven into the grooves. They should
he large enough to- fairly cover the hill without
crowding. Plaster, coal ashes, or leached wood
ashes, scattered over the plants while the dew is
on, have some tendency to keep the bugs from
eating them but are not altogether effectua pre-
ventives
Several years ago we made trial Of water in
which hen dung had been soaked until the water
iermented, for keeping off bugs from vines. An
old hog-trough was carried to the piece, two OF
three shoyels full of clean manure from the hen,
roost thrown into it, with three or four gallons Of
water. 1t soon fermented, and the odor from il
was very offensive A hafpint ofthis liquid was
poured on each hill each alternate day. 1t KEPT
off the bugs almost entirely, and made the vine:
grow astonishingly. They were melons, ant
produced the heaviest crop we ever saw.---IJ.

From the Philadelphia Gazette.

A Case of Real DiStreSS---A most worthy col
ored woman, named Rebecca Shipey, of eX-
cellent character, who has for the last three
years resided in the family of Mr. Thomas Penni-
man, of Baltimore, in the capacity of child's
nurse, and who in the words of Mrs Penniman,
has been an instrument in the hands Of Providence
of saving two dear children from death by her
untiring care and devotion to them during long
illness, was suddenly seized by her former mas
Ter from the South, as a refugee slave, on Wednes-
day. the 21st of May, and sold to a>man named
Slater, who was about selling her to slavehol-
der from the South, but consented to give her
up and set her free, providing the sum of six
hundred dollars was raised for that purpose with
III three weeks of that time. Mrs. Penniman,
in hopes of being able to raise the required price
of her liberty within the time specified, gave
bonds for the amount for three weeks. Half of
that time has already expired, and through the
most untiring exertions Mrs. Penniman has sue
ceeded in collecting $500 in Baltimore, and
has now written to lady cher cousn) of this
city, imploring her to use her exertions in the
attempt to raise from amongst the benevolent Of
Philadelphia the other two hundred required to
obtain her freedom, 1t is case which appeals
to the sympathy of every friend of humanity
and it is to the benevolent citizens of Philadel-
phia that an appeal is thus made to assist in free
ing this unhappy but excellent creature from
fate to her SO horrible--perpetual slavery, 1t
would be as well to add that immediate aid will
alone be available Any donations to be appro-
prated to her liberation from bondage will be
gratefully received, and can be left with either,

Sweet is the hour that brings US home,
Where all will spring to meet US;
Where hands are striving as we come,
To be the first to greet us.
When the world hath spent its frowns and wratl
And care been sorely pressing,
IT'S sweet to turn from our rowing path,
\ Ard find Preside blessing.
Oh joyfully dear is the homeward track,
If we are but sure of welcome back.
What do we reck on a dreary way,
Though lonely and benghted,
If we know there are lips to chide our stay,
And eyes that will beam love-lighted?-
What is the worth of diamond ray,
To the glance that flashes pleasure;
When the winds that welcome back. betray,
We form hearts chief treasured
Oh, joyfulIy dear is our homeward track,
If we are but sure of welcome back.
