The New Carpet,
BY ELLEN ASHTON.

'How lovely; it is beautiful! never saw anv
anything half so elegant, and to think how
choapp
Such were the exclamations Of Harry How
ards young wife. She was standing with her
husband in fashionable carpet store, the clerk
of which had just unrolled a piece of Brussels
carpeting, saying,
Nov, madam, If you wish really beautiful
article, here it is; and at price too am almost
ashamed to name; but we bought the goods low
and are anxious 10 sell them out. You see the
superior brilliancy ofthe colors. Indeed ingram
carpetings are going quite out ofthe fashion, for
manufacturers now reserve their best patterns for
Brussels. Besides, the latter outwears the form
er so that, though the first cost is higher, in the
end the one is no dearer than the other.'
Mrs. Howard had intended to purchase an in.
grain carpet; her old one had been orthat kind,
and she had always thought it quite good enough.
Her husband was not rich, but his business be.
ing excellent, he had saved something annually
and was in fair way to lay up competency for
his old age. Harry Howard's exactness and rec.
titude were proverbial; he had the reputation Of
being economical also; sothat he was very gener.
ally regarded as rising young man.
His wife was partner, in all respects, suitable
for him. She was moderate in her wishes, care.
full in her household, an affectionate wife and q
provident mother. Harry loved her devotedy
for he thought her as prudent as she was kind
But she had her little foibles, as we'll as Other
folks; and her peculiar weakness was to be proud
of her house and furniture.
As the clerk unrolIed the piece of beautiful
Brussels carpet she felt sudden and strong de-
sire to possess it; and his eloquence shook the OBJ.
ectons which prudence had at first started in her
mind. When he had finished, she looked wish
fully at her husband
Itis very pretty said he.
And so cheap!' replied his wife.
q am telling you the truth said the clerk with
emphasis, when declare on my honor that we
could not import these goods TO sell at anything
like this price,
The ingram looks very dull beside it, said the
wife; 'but still, perhaps, that will do for US quite
as we'll as this. And she turned away with a
sigh. after this effort to resist the temptation.
'Well, do as you like, my DEAR replied her
husband; Il am sure can trust your good sense.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.
To The Senate and House Of Representatives. Of
the United Slaies.

the United States
In order TO prosecute the war against Mexico
with ygor and success, it is necessary that author.
lty should be promptly given by Congress 10 in.
crease the regular army, and to remedy existing
defects in its organization. With this view, your
favorable attention is invited to the annual report
Of the Secretary of War, which accompanied my
message Of the 9th instant. in which he recon-
mends that ten additional regiments of regular
troops shall be raised to serve during the war;
OF the additional regiments Of volunteers which
have been called for from several Of the States,
some have been promptly raised; but this has not
been the case in regard to all. The existing law
requiring that they should be organized by the in.
dependent action Of the State governments, has,
in some instances, occasioned considerable delay;
and it is yet uncertain when the troops required
can be ready for service in the field
tits our settled policy TO maintain in time oi
peace as small regular army as the exigenries
of the public service will permit. In a state ot
war, Notwithstanding the great advantage with
which our volunteer citizen soldiers can be brought
into the field, this small regular army must be in.
creased in its numbers in order 10 render the
whole force more efficient.
EuNlhOHdl OHICGIS Us WGll d5 men, lU6Is De-
come indispensable. Under the circumstances
Of our service peculiar propriety exists for in.
creasing the officers, especiallyhe higher grades.
| The numberof such officers who, from age and
other causes, are rendered incapable of active
service in the field, has seriously impaired the
efficiency Of the army.
| From the report of the Secretary of War, il
appears that about two-thirds Of the whole nun.
Der Of regimental field officers are either perma
nently disabled or are necessarily detached from
their commands on other duties. The long en-
IJoyment of peace has prevented us from expert
encing much embarrassment from this cause; bu
now in state Of war, conducted in a foreign
country, it has produced serious injury to the pub,
lie service.
An efficient organization of the army, compo,
sed OF regulars volunteers, whilst prosecuting
the war IN Mexico, it is believed, would require
the appointment of q general officer to take the
command Of all our military forces in the field.
Upon the conclusion of the war, the services
of such an officer would no longer be necessary,
and should be dispensed with upon the reduction
OF the army TO peace establishment.
| recommend that provision be made by law
for the appointment of such general officer to
serve during the war.
1t is respectfully recommended that early ac-
ton should be had by Congress upon the sugges-
tions submitted for their consideration, as neces.
sary to insure active and efficient service in pro.
scouting the war, before the present favorable
season lor military operations in the enemy S
country shall have passed away.

LINE AROUND APPLE rREEs.-The editor of the
Maine Culuvaior, after recommending lime ts
the amount of peck or half bushel, applied
annually around peach trees, says:
"An old farmer Of much discrimination, obser.
we'd to US recently, that he had made it regular
practice, for several years, to sow caustic lime a.
round his apple trees in the spring. He had no.
tced that tree stapding in the immediate vicini-
ty of his dwelling, had all at once put forth with
renewed energy, and he was at loss for some
time TO define the cause. On inquiry, he found
that quantity of lime; which had accidentally
been spilled. and rendered worthless by becom'
ing mixed with the refuse on the stable floor, had
been thrown at the foot of the tree, and to this,
as the principal cause, he Immediately assigned
the revivisence and renewed fructifcation of the
tree. Taking the hint from this accident, he pur-
chased Twelve casks Of lime, and applied half
bushel 10 each tree, and found that it produced
Immediately beneficial effects. Notthe health of
the trees only, butthe quaityo the fruit also was
greatly improved. We ewoud advise our readers
10 make trial of this experiment and see whetheri it

Coon NATURE.-Good nature is gem that
shines brightly in whatever ground it is set. 1t
cheers the darkness Of misfortune, and warns
the heart that is callous and cold. In social life
who has not seen and felt its inauencesl Ifyou
want to be happy yourself, and make every one
else happy, be good natured. Don't let little
matters trouble you. Nobody gains anything bye
being cross and Grabbed. A friend has injured
you; the world goes hard; you want employment
but can't get il; or can'tge your honest dues; or
the fire has consumed, or the waters have swal-
lowed up the fruits of many years hard toll; or
your faults are magnifed; or enemies have ira
duced, friends deceived. Never mind, don't get
mad with any body; don't abuse the world or its
creatures, keep good natured, and your word will
come right. The soft south wind and the genial
sun are not more etfectual in clothing the earth
with verdure and sweet flowers Of spring, than is
good nature in adoring the hearts ofman and wo-
men with blossoms of kindness, happiness and
affection, those flowers the fragrance Of which
ascends TO heaven.-New York Organ.
