FRESH BONES FOR HENS.

Those who keep their hens confined, will
find it for their advantage to keep them lber
ally supplied with ashes, lime, gravel, and
pounded bones. THESE articles are highly ben
especially the latter, which, with a
large per centum of animal matter, contains
also another principle highly essential in the
formation of the shells of the eggs. While
on this subject, we would advise every one
who keeps hens to provide them literally with
vegetable and animal food. When permitted
to range abroad through thefelds and gardens,
a very considerable portion of their sustenance
isobtaned from insects, and if they are restrict
ed and deprived of the privileges of seeking
it for themselves, they must be supplied, or
they will become unhealthy, and an expense,
rather than income to the farmer. We have
known one or two doses of jalap relieve hens
entirely from desire to set; and. in our opin-
ion, it is far better for the purpose than the
cold-water cure. We have known English
fowls to lay III three weeks afterwards.

Stephens, the traveller tells us that, while

the present King OF Prussia, and his military
council had with the greatest interest followed
Gen. Taylor through his whole route on the

Gen- W aShIngton was remarkable for read
ing at once the character of those he came in
contact with, and of putting true estimate on
their value.
All who have intercourse with Gen. Tav-
Tor bear witness to his astonishing knowledge
of men and of his true estimate of character.
Gen. Washington would only accept of the
Presidency independent and unirammeed.
Gen. Taylor has repeatedly, in writing on
the same subject almost used General Wash

of thought and feeling.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.

1t is amusing to note the errors con-
tanned in many of our exchanges. We
do not claim that our own paper is free
from them-on the contrary. we are FREE
quently perplexed to find, after the entire
edition was worked off, some egregious
blunder of the composition, making abso-
lutte nonsence of the sentence in which il
occurs. 1t is exceedingly provoking when
4 whole sentence is so mutilated as to con-
vey meaning entirely opposite to what
was intended by the writer,-yet.such is
frequently the case.
A few weeks ago. in recording cir
cumstance which took place in this city,
we used the words, procuring gun, he
snapped it at the ulconcious object of his
hate" The compositor made the last
word of the sentence, "(F)ate." We read
the proof, marked the "villanous type"
plainly as we could, and supposng all
right, the edition was worked off. A day
or two subsequently our attention was call
ed TO the article, when, lo-the sentence
read Snapped it at the unconscious object
of his (P)atc !" But, when our wrath
had spent its force upon the devoted head
of the unlucky knight of the Composing
stick, we took up one of our exchanges
(of the democratic school, too, } by way
of cOofng-Of, and read, "Thomas Jeffer-
son, that great apostatc of Civil and Re-
ligious Liberty" we felt that we were not
alone in our trials. A professed demo-

\ DREAM OF SUMMER.
BY JOIN G. WHITTIER.

Bland as the morning breath Of June
The southwest breezes play;
And through its haze the winter noon
Seems warm as summer day.
The snow-plumed angel of the north
Has dropped his icy spear;
Aeain the messy earth looks forth,
Again the streams gush clear.
The .ox lis hillside cell for>akes,
The muskrat leaves lis nook,
The blue-Lird in the meadow brakes
Is singing with the brook
" Bear up. o Mother Nature" cry
Bird, breeze, and strcamlct free,
"Our winter voices prophesy
Of summer days 10 thee =
So in the winters Of the soul,
Bv bitter blasts and drear,
Oerswept, from memory's frozen pole,
VIII sunny days appear,
Reviviug Hope and Faith, they show
The soul its living powers,
And low beneath the xinter's snow
Lie gems of summer flowers.
The night is mother of the day,
The winter of the spring,
And ever upon old decay
The grceneSt moses cling;
Behind the cloud the starlight turks,
Through showers the sunbeams fall;
For God, who loveth all his works,
Has left his Hope with all.

SHE stood breast high amid the corn,
Clasp'd by the golden light Of morn,
Like the sweetheart Of the sun,
Who many glowing kiss had won.
On her check and autumn flush
Deeply ripened such blush
In the midst of brown was born,
Like rcd peoples grown with corn.
Round her eyes her tresses fell,
Which were blacklist none could tell,
But long laslcs veil'd light,
Thai had else been all too bright
And her hat, with shady brim,
Made her treSSy forehead dim =
Thus she stood amid the stocks,
Praising God with sweetest looks
Sure, I said, hcav'n did not mean,
Where I reap thoa shouldst but CLEAN,
Lay Thy sheaf adown and come,
Share my harvest and my home.

can cotton, grown here aud converted into cot

cannot we so convert it ourselvesf'
For the best reason in the world-that an
American Congress, under the auspices Of the
Loco Foco party pass laws, the effects of which
are direct encouragement to British capital and
British manufactures. Further on, Mr.. Inger-
soil says, that "SLAVE LABOR is the very
best in the world for such purpose Mark
this. 1t is because the slave labor of America
is nearly as well paid as the pauper labor of Eu-
rope, that an attempt is made to argue South
ern members of Congress into an idea of the
capacity of this country to manufacture cotton
twist upon the same advantageous terms as it
is made in England. The great question for
American Mechanics to answer is, whether
they can live as Southern Slaves live. or as
European peuper paid labor. The effect If the

Corcoran & Riggs, a few DAYS before the re-
ceipt of the Treaty of Peace, were uilt red the
w'ole loan, at par, and were at liberty tn re-
ceive il either in Treasury Notes or in Stock
They declined the Gcvernment Stcrk, and notes
selling at a fraction under Ear. though a few
months before thew were selling at seven per
cent. premium. Their resent bid was fni 26
premium, fraction over one AMI quarter per
cent: and, since then. the Government Stock
has risen sufficiently to make very handsome
premium upon the price paid Most of the un-
successful bidders are quite chop fallen at the
price paid. At the eleventh honr. one Of the
Philadelphia Brokers came on in SPECIAL train,
with hid of three tenihs Premium. To his a
mazement, he found that bids were in at one per
cent. and a fraction over fve-tenths. Wash
ington City bids fair, by and by, TO become a
mart of political stock -iobbing: add, What is
more, as at the European Capitos, the money
lenders may become the power behind the
throne. and greater than the throne itself. Be-
tween foreign loans to carry on an American
war, and foreign Indebtedness incident to the
neglect of our own capital and n1ustry, we give
promise of paying an enduring tribute to our ri
walls. There is story in circulation, that the
Government, on the day the lean was taken,
was possessed Of six millions of money. So,
perhaps, thought some of the officers of the
Treasury, but upon examination, it was found
that but little more than half this sum W as vail
able. So ignorant is the Secretary of the Trea-
sury of the details of his Office. and SO absorbed
is he inquestion foreign to the business of his
Department, that, if justice were done,he would
be removed in twenty-four hours.
