The Use Of Tobacco.

Tho Messrs. Fowler, enquirsd of Mr.,
Greeley OF the N. Y. Tribune his views
on the use Of tobacco. and received the
following reply: ..,. .5.so. .r'
GENTLEMEN You ask me for state
1nent Of what l know and think respect
ing tobacco. l have had good deal Of
experience on tins subject; in fact once
smoked nearly an iuch Of cigar myself.
1t served me right, and l have never since
had any inclination to outrage human ma
turs and insult decency in any such way.
i was then some six years old. and natu-
rally aspiring to the accomplishments of
manhood and gentIlity; but the lesson |
then received will suffice for my whole
life, though It should be spun out 10 the
length OF Methusela's. l have since en-
dured my share of the tumigations and
kindred denominations OF tobacco, but 1 have
inflicted none. .e re-
] wish some budding Ella, not slave
to norcotie, sensualism, would favor US
with an essay on 'The Natural Affinnies

Whether we play or labor. or sleep,
dance or study, the sun passsth and the
sand runs. Ia all the actions man per-
forms, some part OF his life passeth. We
die without doing that Tor which only our
sliding life was granted. .-.
Nay, though we do nothing time keeps
his constant pace, and as fast in idleness
as in employment. An hour OF vice is O.
long rs an hour Of virtue; but the differ
encr which follows upon good actions is
infinite from that OF the i'll ones.
The good, though it dminishes our
time here, yet it lays up a pleasure for
eternity, and will recompense what it
taketh away with plentiful return at
last. When we trade with virtue, we do
buy pleasure with expense OF time, 20 il
is not so much consuming OF time as an
exchange. Time is ship which never
anchors; while ! am aboard, had better
do those things that may advantage my
landing, than practice such as shall cause
my commitment when l come 10 the
shore.

EMMIcRATIoN TO CALlvonNIA.-Injuri-
Gus Effects upon the West We perceive
by the Western papers, that thousands Of
men, women and children are making
preparations to leave by the first Of june
by the overland route to California. Al
most every village or hamlet will send
forth its hundreds this Spring
In New York city, for a few days back,
parties Of five, ten, twenty, &C., bound to
California, were arriving BY railroad and
steamboats,, to take passage ia the steam
ships Georgia, Cherokee and Empire City,
which will leave that port tor Chagrss.
The Detroit Advertiser says that not
less than 5000 men have already made
arrangements 10 leave that State for Call-
fornia, and anticipates much pecuniary
Inconvenience thsrefrom to those who re-
main. Many mortgagsd their farms, &C.,
At high rate Of interest, and besides thus
taking off the sinews Of credit and bns.
ness, they are mostly young and active
men, who will be embarrassingly missed
from fields and workshops.
The Iowa Reporter says that three thou
sand emigrants will leave that State for
California this season, being three times
the number who went last Spring. Esti-
mating that each emigraut will take with
him means equal to $780, appears that
the emigration to California, this year,
will be loss 10 Iowa Of 81 100000.
The St. Louis Republican says that there
will probably be an emigration Of from
fifteen to twenty Thousand persons frem
Missouri Tor California during the current
Spring. Estimating the number at H. 800
and each emigrant's outfit to~verage $3.50
Missouri will be drained the current spring
Of over six millions Of dollars.
Tho Rochester IN. w. Advertiser, Of
Tuesday, says:
We are informed BY q gentleman from
Burlington, Iowa, that on the 18th Of
March large company Of California en-
igrants passed through that city, consist
ing OF about 5000 men, from nearly all
of the Western States. Two hundred
men-mostly citizens of Burllngton-join-
ed the company At that place. They 20
the overland route through Oregon, and
expect to reach the "diggins" in about
three months. The teams that belonged
to the party numbered 1000. The men
are mostly middle aged, and many Of them
have families.
About year since, quite 4 company Of
men left Burlington and vicinity, and
went TO California in search OF the 'dust,
and this Spring all returned in excellent
health, richly remune:ated for their ad-
venturous enterprise. Their good fortune

As the season OF the year is now APP
preaching for planting corn, we publish
the following hlRt which we find in an
agricultural paper. After you have pre-
pared your ground, SOW on each acre two
bushels OF salt, harrow it in, then roll and
plant your corn: and you will experience
but little annoyance from grub and other
worms, as the salt will give them their
quietus just as notably as though you had
done it with bodkin. Besides this the
salt will, to a considerable extent, act as a
fixsr to the ammonia in the soil as il may
be formed, attract moisture from the al
mosphere, preserve the corn plants from
firing, and furnish no uncomfortable guam
t'ty OF soda and chlorine for their apprs-
priation. t.g- f"'t.

And the merk-eyed toxg love blooms.

And bares it rpotIess crest,
AS ftsaliby zephyrs, in noseless tread,

To deck the verdant field.
