Tn a communication from Hon. w. B.
SEABRooK, President of the State Agricul-
tural Society, published in the Charleston
Mercury, we find mentioned the following
curious facts:
sin England 20 or 80 acres constitute
a good farm, and in China on one-third of
that quantity, large family is well sup
ported. The grass land in the immediate
vicinity of Edinburg rents for 500 the
acre per annum. In West Cambridge,
Massachusetts, manure to the value OF
500 per acre is supplied by many of the
farmers, and instances are not unfrequent
of ten acres, thus fertilized, yielding in
money $4,000. To US the full power Of
land is unknown; indeed, nowhere has il
been ascertained that there is limit tc
production. The period has perhaps arri-
we'd, when not only the advancement of
their pecuniary welfare, but it may be, the
preservation of the domestic institutions
of the South, depends on radical change
in the habits and practices of the tiller:

1t is curious fact that in a city like
San Antonio, with the Improvements de-
scribed, its antique churches and other
public edifces should have existed for cen
turtles, comparatively unknown, near the
extreme western frontier Of this now infant
republic of the wilderness.
The other principal towns of Texas,
are, Matagorda, at the mouth Of the Colo
RADIO, on Matagorda bay; Washington, on
the Brazos; Corpus Christi, just sprung
into existence; Nacogdoches; Brazorla,
on the Brazos; Montgomery, &c.
Cotton is principally raised, and to the
best advantage, on the Brazos, Trinity, and
Red rivers; but is proitably cultivated in
other sections. The sugar region is near
The coast, and lying south Of latitude 30,
Wheat, and the fine grains are raised to
most advantage in the mountainous and
billy regions of the Upper Colorado, Bra
EOS, and Trinity rivers. Of the wilder,

The principal streams are, The Red ri.
yer, navigable within Texas 500 miles
the Sabine, navigable four months in the
year 400 miles; the Neches, for the same
period, $50 miles; the Trinity for seven
months, about 500; the Buffalo bayou
navigated by steamboats, every day in the
year, from Houston 10 Galveston, about lOO
miles, and the greatest thoroughfare of the
country; the Brazos, four months in the
year $50 miles, and may be easily render

will be navigable al least 400 miles th'

Blythely the young wife rose on the
morrow to breakfast which she deemed
would be happy. Augustus came; in his
right hand he held string of fsh-but
were they catfish? Stand aghast we hea-

WoMAN's TEMPER. trait of cha
racter, (says very sensible MANY is more
valuable in female than the possession
Of a sweet temper. Home can never be
made happy without it, 1t is like the
flowers that spring up in our pathway, re.
viving and cheering US. Let man go
home at night, wearied and worn by the
tolls OF the day, and how soothing is a
word dictated by good disposition. Ii
is sunshine falling upon his heart. He is
happy, and the cares of life forgotten. A
sweet temper has a soothing influence
over the minds of whole family. Where
it is found in the wife and mother, you
may observe kindness and love predo.
minating over the bad feeling of natural
heart. Smiles, kind words and looks cha.
racterize the children, and peace and love
mark their temper. 1t is more valuable
than gold, it captivates more than beauty
and 10 the close OF life retains all its fresh
ness and power.

The GRAVEYARD. The following elo-
quent and beautiful extract Is from :. The
Village Graveyard" written by the Rev.
Mr.. Greenwood, of Boston:
81 never shun graveyard the thought
ful melancholy which it inspires is CRATE
full rather than disagreeabIe to me; it gives
me no pain to tread on the green roof of
that dark mansion, whose chambers must
occupy soon; and | often wander from
choice TO a place where there is neither
solitude nor something human is
there; but The folly, the hustle, the vani-
ties, the pretensions, the competitions, the
pride of humanity are gone-men are
thele, but the passions are hushed, and
their spirits are stiII--malevolen has lost
its power OF harming, appetite is stated,
ambition lies low, and lust is cold; anger
has done raving, all disputes are ended, all
revelry is over, the feIlest animosity is
deeply buried and the most dangerous
sins are safely confined by the thckly
piled clods of the valley; vice is dumt
and powerless, and virtue is waiting in 81.

THE WAY TO BE Harry" Cut your
coat according to your CLOTH" is an old
maxim and wise one; and if people
would onl square their ideas according to
their circumstances, how much happier
might we all be! If we could come down
a peg or two in our notions, in accordance
with our wanting fortunes, happiness
would be always within our reach. Ii is
not what we have, or have not, which adds
or substracts from our felicity. 1t is the
longing for more than we have, the envy
ing of those who possess that more, and
the wish to appear in the world of more
consequence than we really are, which de-
stroy our peace of mind and eventually
lead TO ruin.
