STEALING FRUIT.

MEssRs. EDIToRs-The practice of rob
bling 'grievous to be borne AS the case adj
mits CT no immediate remedy, which can be
effected by any ordinary means, it become:
those interested, to avail themselves Of all ex-
pedients calculated TO lessen the evil or miti-
gate the severity of its effects OF these ex-
pedients, the most important, no doubt, is the
multiplying of orchards. In community
where there is no scarcity of fruits, the losses
occurring in this way, are felt less severely; and
the inducements to steal them are greatly d.
minished. Hence, it is an object of the great
est moment for all concerned, TO increase by
all possible means, the culture OF fruits. Let
every farmer have his orchard, and the evil so
much complained of, will, in most INSTANCES,
be scarcely felt. Every man owning an acre
of ground should have fruits of his own.
With regard to the fruit stealing gentry, a
few words will be sufficient. Yet it may not
be amiss to give them an occasional glance at
| their peculiar beauties in the mirror of public
opinion.
here is, in nearly every community, a
certain class Of beings claiming to be part hui
man, who do not scruple to make free with
their neighbours property. This class is COM
posed of the great body Of thieves in general.
| Being the dregs of human society, and a COM
| plcte embodiment of all that is low or filthy
they are utterly Indifferent to the finger Of
scorn, OF indeed, to any sense of shame what
ever. Like other vcrmin, they herd togeth-
or, ard seem to take it for granted that their
neighbor's orchard garden or henroost, are le-
Ultimate objects of plumber.
There is still another class of these WORTHLESS
whose depredatons are principally confined
TO fiuit. This class, for the most part, is made
up of young persons, quite lax in their morals,
whose parents either will not or cannot con-
troll them. These, generally speaking, would
like to be esteemed respectable, but still are
unable TO resist the temptation of stealing a
little fruit.
No doubt some OF them are thus guilty con-
trary to their own impressions of duty, and
the oft repeated injunctions of their parents.
With regard to some Of these, perhaps we
may indulge favorable hopes of reformation.
Yet they should be often reminded of the great
danger of their sinking-deep in the gulf of
iniquity. Children should be taught that the
stealing of fruit worth a dollar, is equally as
criminal as the stealing of sheep worth that
amount.
TIE proper education of children, will no
doubt, exert greater influence in correcting
the morals of society, than all the laws ever
enacted. Children under those moral re-
straints, enforced by salutary discipline, and
virtuous example, seldom fail of becoming re-
spectacle members of community.
Hence the necessity of good schools, and
good teachers-teachers who are themselves fit
models for the young to initiate. w.

DEAD SEA EXPEDITION.

The return of the United States s,oreshiP
Supply, Lieut.. Lynch, from on exploration Of
the Dead Sea, has been already announced.
The Norfolk Beacon states that many curioSi-
ties have been brought home by Lieut.. Lynch,
among them specimens of the water Of the
Dead Sea, the River Jordon, and the Pool Of
Siloah, also fragments of the Pillar Of Salt IN
to which Lots wife was transformed. This
pillar, it is said, is nearly forty feet high, and
stands exactly on the spot DESIGNATED by the
Bible. The Beacon says that Lient. Lynch
expresses the confident opinion that it is the
representative Of what was Lots wife jose
phus states that this pillar Of salt existed in his
time.
There are many other curiositicq (says the
Beacon) on board the Supply As, Egyptian
mummy, a pair Of the cattle OF Arabia, ros;I-
ries made OF wood from the Holy Mount, shells
from shores of the Dead Sea, &c.
We presume that Lieut.. Lynch will girc
the public narrative Of lis expedition. The
Dead Sea has been for many ages an object OF
great curiosity, and We doubt not that it has
been well explored by this expedition, with
the view to the ascertainine, if possible, its Or
igin, The properties OF its water, &c.

of conducting an Administration with Cabi-
net of mixed, antagonistic and repulsive ma
terials
! Viewing, then, the position of General Tay-
Tor in regard to the quality of his Administers
ton. the structure of his character, his free
dom from individual responsibilities, his mod
Grafton, his sound judgment, his republican
principles, his clearness of all fanaticism,
pledges or combinations, what NAV not be ex-
pected OF his Administration ? In his poliG-
cal opinions he is moderate, but decided-a
commitment, but not not 4 propagandist.-
That he will form a Cabinet of believers in
the same faith may be taken for granted but
that he will avoid fanatics of all creeds may
be equally conceded.
Without knowing more Of his purposes than
any disinterested person may gather from
what has been published to the world, we
would infer that it will be his aim to gather
around him in the high places of the Govern
ment, statesmen of the highest reputation for
integrity, talents and experience-but first of
all integrity. This done, the business Of ma
king laws for the people and shaping the do
nestle policy of the nation Will be left in full
Ter measure than 1t has been the custom Of late
TO leave it, where the constitution of the Unit
cd States placed it-with the Congress of that
Republic.
If we have not misconceived Gen. Taylor's
character, he will endeavor to make his Adj
mlnistration memorable on account OF the
good it does, rather than from brilliancy in do
ing it. He will adhere to the landmarks Of
safety in preference to irving unknown or
doubtful theories. We take ii Tor granted
that he will promote public morals by exam
pies of official probi;y at the seat of Govern
ment. That he will induct into Office men of
solid attainments, OF acknowledged worth, Of
substantial interest in society, and of old-fash
toned honesty and that this principle, begun
at the capital, will be carried out through all
the ramifcations of public duty.
He will not look upon one half of the ~
merlcan people as aliens in their own land in
capable of public trust and unfit for execu-
tive employment. Those who live by the
sword may die by the sword :" but unless for
cause, we doubt if the capable officer will feel
the might of the Government upon him. The
pot,house brawler, the open electioneerer,
and he who has abused his office for party
ends, may not choose to remain in office un-
der the inco:ning administrations may save
trouble if they carry ont their professions by
voluntarily resigning but the country has
need Of the peaceful, upright and diligent
public servant"

To Polish STovEs.-1IesSrS. Editors
Cold weather is coming. and We housekeepers
who pride ourselves upon being in trim, have,
in addition to our other duties, to polish and
keep in polish, the stoves which have been
put aside for few months. therefore send
you a receipt for those of your fair readers
who, like myself, have tried a little of every
thing, been completely humbugged by patent
backing, warranted to keep stove bright as
a coach body, by two applications a year.
Make weak alum water and mix your Brit
ish Lustre, with it, perhaps two teaspoonsful
to 4 gill of alum water-let the stove be cold,
brush it with the mixture; then take dry
brush and dry lusture, and rub the stove till it
is perfectly dry. Should any part become so
dry before polishing as to look grey, moisten
it with the brush and proceed as above. l
sometimes take tolerably strong alum water
and 90 over the stove one morning, and polish
it the next; and in twenty minutes can thus
have stove that would answer for mirror.
If the above save one person the vexation that
black lead and vinegar, patent backing, &C.,
have given me l am satisfed.-Prairie Farm

SOWING SEEDS IN AUTUMN

Goblet, in his O American Gardener, re-
commends the sowing OF several kinds OIL
seed in Autumn-such FOR instance, as car
rots, beets, onions. parsnips and many other
kinds. lie remarks, in illustration Of the
truth OF his theory, that "lhe seeds of al
plants will remain safe in this way all winter
though the frost penetrate TO the depth o
three feet below them, except the seeds o.
such plants as slight frost will cut down. -
A writer Of some distinction in one o.! our a g
ricnIlural exchanges, enormously advocates
the same plan, ana remarks that this is the
natural system pursued by Dame nature
who CASTS all her seeds upon the soil in au'
tumn. and never fails crop. Onions we
have long practiced sowing in the TALL, AND
the same method is adopted by many-es-
pecialy those who wish 10 have them early

President TAYLoR's SYsTEM.-The fol
lowing passages are from long and carefully
written editorial in the New Orleans Picay-
une, of November 20. The article attracts
attention especially from the prevalent rumor
that Mr. Bullitt, one of the Picayune editors,
is to be the conductor of the "ofiicial organ
under the new Administration.
"Whatever distrust Of General Taylor's
Administration was urged during the canvass
was based upon his ayowal OF Wing primer
pies. =
Though no public man, no candidate for Of
fee. whether such by his own choosing or by
compulsion of popular nomination, could have
avowed political creed Of a milder charac-
ter, yet the great body Of the Democracy fell
off from him upon his enunciation Of Wing o.
pinions. Even many of those who supported
him before his avowal of Whiggery, abandon
ed him on the appearance OF his first Allison
letter. as if it were possible he should be indlf-
ferent to the issue Of the preceding Preslden-
tial canvass.
MANY of those who adhered to him after the
publication of that letter, abandoned him alter
his nomination by the Philadelphia convention
thus evincing a willingness that he should
accent nomination Of any and every party
bnt his own. However, the secession OF his
Democratic supporters may not add to or di-
ninish the substance of his first Allison letter,
if shows that party spirit is too high and too
omnipotent for mixed Cabinet and the rev.
Citations of the last four months may confne
his selection Of constitutional advisers 20 the
party of which he is a member-the Wing
party. This is the only retrenchment upon
the exercise of unbounded latitude in forming
Cabinet, and this restriction is enforced by
the impossibility, as established by known fact:

A CHRISTMAS HYMN.
BY II. W. LoNGFELLow.

BY II. W. LoNGFELLow.
1t was the calm and silent night
Seven hundred years and ffty-thrce
Had Rome been growing up to might
And now was queen of land and sea-
No sound was heard of clashing wars
Peace brooded DER the hushed domain;
Apollo, Pallas, Jove and Mars,
Held undisturbed their ancient reign,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries agoi
IT was in the calm and silent night
The Senator of haughty Rome
Impatient urged his chariot's fight,
From lordly revel rolling home
Triumphal arches, cleaning, swell
His breast with thoughts of boundlcss sway;
What rocked the Roman what befell
y paltry province far away,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago
Within that province far away,
Went Flooding home a weary boor;
a streak of light before HIM lay,
Fallen through half shut stable door
Across his path lie paused, for nought
Told what was going on within;
How keen the stars! lis only thought;
The air, how cold and calm, and thin,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries agol
Oh, strange Indifference! low and high
Drowscd over common joys and cares;
The earth was still, but knew not why;
The world was listening-unawares
How calm moment may prcccde
One that shall thrill the world forcverl
To that still moment none would heed
Mans doom was linked, no more to sever
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
1t is the calm and solemn night!
a thousand bells ring ont, and throw
Their Joyous peals abroad, and smite
The darkness-char1ned and holy now
The night that erst no shame had worn,
To it happy name is given;
For in that stable lay, newborn,
The peaceful Prince of earth and heaven.
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!

CLOVER FOR HoEsEs.-Iti is a common re-

There are two remedies for this. One is to
deposit the hay in a manger instead of A rack.
The leaves of clover cured after the old fash
ION are so dry and crispy, that they crumble
and puiverize as they are drawn violently from
the rack, occasioning dust, which being inhal-

Is created.
