MARRIAGE,

If there is tie on earth deemed sacred and holy
in brighter land, its that which binds man to
his kindred spirit to become one in unity and love;
and yet it rarely happens that he properly appre-
ciates the kindness and sincerity of the female
heart, by setting right value OIL gem so pro-
ductive of happiness to the possessor. There is
nothing in life SO pure and devoted as the un-
quenchable love of woman-mors priceless than
the gems of Golconda, and more devout than the
dola,ry of Mecca is the unsealed and gushing
tenderness which flows from the tount OF the te-
male heart.
lit may here with propriety be asked, what SO
often enhances the sorrow Of the female heart,
causing many anxious days and sleepless nights !!
Is it not the Inconsistency of mar? For whose
sake does she bid adieu to the home of her child
hood? For whom does she leave the loved father
and the doting mother, and the sweet sister who
played with her in infancy? To whom does she
cling with fond embrace, when all but her have
forsaken him?
1t is said that when the mother of Washington
was asked how she had formed the character Of
her son. she replied that she had endeavored early
to teach him three thngs-obedience, diligence
and truth. No better advice can be given by any
parent.
Teach your children to obey. Let it be the frs,
lesson. 1t requires constant care to keep up the
abt OF obedience, ana especially 10 90 II IN SuCi
way as not to break down the strength of q
chld's character.
Teach your child to be diligent. The habit o.
being always employed is safeguard thro' life
as well as essential to the culture of almost every
virtue Nothing can be more foolish than an idea
which parents have that it is not respectable K
set their children to work. Play is a good thing
innocent recreation is an employment, and chile
may learn to be diligent in that as in other things
But let them learn early to be useful.
As to truth, it is the one essential thing. LIE
everything else be sacrificed rather than that
Without it, what dependence can you place il
your chd2 And be sure to do nothing yourself
which may countenauce any species of prevarca
ton or .fasehood. Yet how many parents do teach
their children the first lesson Of deception

JAVA.
GRowTR OF COFFEE AND PEPPER.

In extent. Java is about 700 miles in length,
and it varies from 80 to l40 miles IN width. Its
area is less than 10000 square miles. The face
of the country is more or less broken by mountains
but the soil generally is rich and productive.
The products are rice, pepper, spice, aud pro
fusion Of the finest tropical fruit We were much
interestedin seeing some of these tropical produc-
tions growing. Coffee is cultivated here to as
great perfection as almost in any part OF the
world. Y grows upon large bushes; mat very
much resemble our large chnquepin bushes, and
the grains ofeofee are formed two in berry, a
bout thf s;zs and shape of our common plumb, and
the color, when ripe, that Of pale scarlet The
bush is very productive. Every branch is loaded
with the berries, which grow TWO il place, on
opposite sides of each other, and shout one inch
and half apart. When ripe the skin bursts open,
and the grains of coffee fall out on the ground
But more general way is to spread something
out under the bush, and shake the coffee down.
After the outer skin is taken off, there remains
kind OF husk over each kernel, which is broken
| off after being well dried in the sun, by heavy
rollers. The coffee, after this needs wlnnowing,
in order to he freed from the broken particles of
the husk. 1t has been said by some writer's that
one bush will not with another, average more
than one pound of coffee but it seems to me, tho
| could only judge from appearances, that this
was too small an allowance for the bushes.
Black pepper is also raised to some extent on the
island of Java, but Sumatrx, which lies just across
the Straits, is by far the most celebrated for this
commodity. Tbs pepper is, perhaps, the finest
and most abundant Of any one country in the
world.
Black pepper grows on vine, very much like
our grape vine, and the pepper vineyards remind
me very much'of American vineyards of grapes
The pepper grape grows and looks when greer,
| GOOD deal like our currants There is this diff
ference, however the currant has each its own
distinct stem. but the pepper has not. Each grain
grows hard on to one common stem, Just as each
grain of Indian corn does on the cob, or husk, as
Virginiaqs incorrectly wond say. The color of
pepper whenf first ripe, is almost bright red, and
changes to dead black, common to US, by being
exposed to the heat Of the sun.
| The famous white pepper is nothing more than
thu common black with the outer skin taken off
1t is first soaked until this bursts open, which is
then rubbed off and the grain dried. The white,
therefore, is not 50 pungent as the black, though
it is nicer and more expensive, as more labor Is
necessary to prepare it.

ALLEGORICAL.-A traveller, setting out
upon long journey, was assaied on the road by
ours, mastffs and half grown puppies, which came
out of their kennels to bark at him as he passed
along. He often dsmounted from his horse to
drive them back with stones and sticks, into their
hiding places. This operation he performed every
day, and sometimes as often as twenty times day.
The consequence was that more than half of the
travellers time was consumed in chasing these
dog puppies. At last he was overtaIen by neigh
Dor, who was going the same road, but had set out
long time after him. The latter traveller was
very much surprised to find the other no farther
on his journey; and on hearing the reason, ALAS =
said he, sis it possible that you should have lost
your time and wasted Your strength in this idle
occupation? These same animals hsye beset me
along the road, but have saved my time and la
Dor in taking no notice oftheir barkngs, while you
have lost yours in resenting insults which do you
no harm, and chastising dogs and puppies, whose
manners you can never mend.'

MISCELLANEOUS.
RUSSIAN CUSTOMS.

The Russians have some curious customs--ioI
instance. their funerals When man dies, the
priest comes and takes possession OF the room IN
which he lies. The room is darkened, and a
number of candles lighted, the priest continuing
to mutter his prayers until the funeral takes place
The body is carried to the church, where the re-
lations come and take the hand of the deceased,
asking pardon for any offences they have gwen
him in life A paper is put Into his hand, testify
inc that he was an honest man and member OF
the Greek Church he is pat Iato the
ground and the grave filled, food is placed near 1t
for the purpose of propitiating the spirit Drunk
enness aad disorder frequently prevails during this
ceremony.
Their marriages are also singular. They are
always in church, at the door of which the priest
meets the COUPLE and kisses their hands, at the
same time giving them his benediction They
follow him Is the altar, and a crown, light, and
generally made of silver, is placed upon their
heads. This is called the marriage crown. lie
puts taper into each of their hands, and reads a
portion of Scripture; sweet and bitter drink, en-
blematcal OF the joys and sorrows OF married lie,
is given to each. The whole service lasts about
an hour, and ends by the bride and bridegroom,
with all the spectators, following the priest around
rage of the Duchess of Olga, second daughter of
the Emperor, to the heir apparent to the throne OF
Wertemberg. and it was very beautiful sight,
The dresses of the parties, and Of some OF the spec
tators, who were very numerous, were magmfl-
cent.
When merchant gives dinner, he and his
wife stand behind the chairs Of the guests, and
wait upon them, receiving the dishes from the
servants and placing them on the table. Every
time. one Of The guests asks for more sweetening in
his wine, the merchant must march round the
table, meet his wife and salute her. When it is
a newly married couple, this ceremony, from the
frequency Of its being required, often becomes
fatiguing to the parties.
The Court ofRussa is one of the most splendid
in the world. The present Empress is excessively
fond of balls and shows, and they are very frequent.

guished the Court Of Queens G "a n and ann

THE REAPER AND TIE FLOWERS.

THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS
Their is reaper, whose name is Death,
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain att breath,
And the flowers that grow between
"Shal have nought that is fair 2" saith ke;
"Have nought but the bearded grains
Though the breath of these flowers issweet to mi
will give them all back again"
II. gazed 3. the flowers with fearful eyes.
He kissed their dropping leases;
1t was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them in his sheaves.
."Mv Lord hath need Of these fowersts gay
The reaper said, and smiled;
eDear tokens of the earth are they.
Where he was once child.
'.They shall all bloom in the fields Of light,
Transplanted by my care,
And saints upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love-
She knew she would find them sll agsiR
In the fields of light above,
o, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth
And took the flowers away,

ts1IE CAN'T COME TT.sa

There lived in the County Of H-.a very
pious old Methodist Of sixty ode winters who had
the misfortune few months since 10 lose his
dear Abigail, the partner Of his bosom and the mo-
Their of his b'hoys Feeling the loneliness of his
situation he determined, after such prayerful con-
sideraton Of the subject as become a follower of
Wesley TO get him another wife; bnt he was
sorely puzzled TO fad, in the whole circle OF his
acquaintances, any woman that would exactly ut
the slippers Of his lost Abigail In this state Of
perplexity, doubt and dependency, his next door
neighbor, very old man, dropped off leaving
fine estate TO his single daug hter, who, though
member of the same church with our Wesleyan
friend, and on the sunny side of 60, had never at
tracted the notice of ''the courting widower."-
1t must be confessed that the intended Mrs. Abigail
No. could not boast the symmetrical proportions
of the Venus de Nledicis, nor were her features
altogether regular, but then MIR. Abigail had no
reason to complain of this for in these respects as
well as in their religion, they were amazingly
similar. After the death of the father, however,
it was discovered that the young lady had many
shining qualities, and our wldower determined to
pay his '.distesses" to her in manner becoming
a christian He accordingly called on his Dull
cinea one lovely morning in May, and after lew
what heightened dissertation on the best method
of curing gapes in young chickens, our hero sud
denly drew close to the side OF his bonny lassle
and squared himself in his chair, and inhaling a
full volume of elo9uence, thus delivered himself
''Well sister p, the Lord hath sent me here to
get a wfo-blessed be the name of the Lord"
Now, this was subiec. on which "sister f.,
had never been spoken to before by mortal man
and her surprise was as great as her answes was
prompt and dryly made:
sWell, brother r., the Lord can't come it
He has sent you to the wrong place, for you can't
get wife here" --Dcnvi9e Register.

IMPORTANT Drc1s.os.-Much interest was
created some time ago, by the ayrea Of Mr. Kalff
man, wealthy farmer in Cumberland county in
this State, for giving feed and assistance to fan-

Maryland or Virginia, and left on his premises
The owner of the slaves brought suit, and gained,
in one Of the inferior cours verdict against Mr..
Kaufman of $1,000. An appeal was taken to tho
Supreme Cont and on Monday last. after a fui!
argument, Judge Coulter delivered an opinion rc

BEEHIVE!
On an entirely new plan.


YTNHIS Hive is decided to be the best Hive in use,
Il by those who haze used it, and BY the most
experienced bee keepers.
LIST. 1t has three projections against the miller or
bee moth list. the bottom is iron, SO that the egg
will not hatch under it, I'd, it is constructed thai
the worm cannot crawl above the bottom box, if
the egg should hatch 3d. the room can be in
creased diminished, by removing the drawers ar
ranged upon the sides, and Turning the bees in upon
the centre, sufficient to keep the comb covered
with the bees, all through the season, and the bees
will protect the comb from the miller
I'd. This Hive can be used for a swarming a
non -swarming Hive.
3d. The bees can be made to swarm any day you
please, in the swarming pant OF the season.
4th. 1t is perfectly simple in its construction,
and gives the bees ample room for all TO work at
the same time. so that they will never lay on the
outside of the hive.
9Th. The bees will increase onet third more in this
Hive than in the other kinds, and make twice the
amount of honey.
9th The old comb can be removed at any time
with safety.
Having purchased the above patent I am now
prepared to fill all orders for Hives, and will ex-
plain all the advantages of this Hive 10 any who
may give me call. Twill also furnish Hives with
bees to persons wishing to raise bees.
