A BEAUTIFUL FIGURE.-Lfe is beautifully
compared to a fountain fed by thousand
streams, that perish if one be dried. 1t is sill
yer cord, twisted with thousand strings, that
part asunder if one be broken. Frail and tho't-
less mortals are surrounded by innumerable dam
gers which make it much more strange that they
escape so long, than that they almost all perish
at last We are encompassed with accidents
every day to crush the Wondering tenements
we inhabit. The seeds of disease are planted
in our constitutions by nature. The earth and
atmosphere whence we draw the breath of life
are impregnated with death; health is made to
operate its own destruction the food that nour-
ishes contains the elements Of decay, the soul
that animates it by vivifyng first, tends to wear
it out by its own action; death turks in ambush
along the paths. Notwithstanding this is the
truth so papably confirmed by the daily exam
pie before our eyes, how little do we lay il at
heart! We see our friends and neighbors a.
mong us but how seldom does it occur to our
thoughts that our knell shall perhaps give the
next fruitless warning to the world.

Sweet POtatOe Culture.

Believing that the following extraordinary
yield of sweet potatoes with the system of cul-
tivation adopted, would be interesting to your
readers, furnish thesame To those Of us living
on the seaboard, the potato crop we consider
very important {; and our planters have devoted
no little attention in ascertaning the best sys-
tenn of culture. The subjoined account, as you
will perceive, was furnished to the Agricultural
Society of Liberty county, by one ofits members,
Mr.. G. B. Dean. ! would further remark that
the gathering of the potatoes was under the su-
peryision Of a committee, Of which l was chair

old worn out lands filled with carpet grass, and in
July planted the same in slips. In the fall
of the same year, dug the potatoes, and turned
in hogs, which, by rooting turned up and expo
sed the roots of this grass to the winters cold.
In tt month of January l649, listed it up in
five feet rows; in March bedded up the ground
and planted sweet potatoes about the 25th. |
put twenty bushels to the acre or five to the
task, taking good care to have both ends cut off
and cutting the seed two or three inches in length,
placed them two or three inches apart in trench
three inches Deep So soon as the potatoes be-
gan to come up, | shaved OFT the top OF the bed
with hoes, some five tasks to the hand. This
work destroyed all the fine grass, and the plant
then came up finely. As soon as the potatoes
were all up some three or four inches, 1 listed
down with the hoe some three tasks to the hand.
Four days after, | run two furrows with the
Ruggles plough, and drew up the bed being care
full to place the dirt well under the potatoes.
7 allowed them To remain until the vines were
about twelve inches long l then listed down
again near the plant, very lightly turning up the
vines carefully. After allowing them to remain
two days, 1 broke up the alley by running once
with the double mould board pillow, deep in the
centre. then bcdded up closely, returning the
vines to their places carefully with the hand. l
did nothing more except to pick over in the
month of June, all the grass. The yield was
from nine to ten and a quarter bushels to the
task row. One fourth of an acre yielded two
hundred and ten bushels, or at the rate Of eight
hundred and forty bushels to the acre.

late census, but say there are 200, 900 horses and
and mules in the State, which is probably not
very far wrong, and probably only 10000 is

which, at $50 head would make the startling
sum of two million and a half of dollars paid to
the western States, and for what! $4,000 hor-

Mn. CLAY AND THE GoAT-Amost every

SHIP FEVER IN New YoRK.-From various
statements which have recently appeared in the
newspapers, as well as from the death reports,
there can be no doubt of the fact that ship fe-
yer prevails to a very great extent in different
districts of the city, and that it is nolonger con-
fined to the emigrants who bring it, and the
poor who inhabit the most unhealthy quarters,
and come into immediate contact with the emf

surrounding country, and in many instances is
fatal to persons in comfortable circumstances in

exceedingly dangerous. Now that the summer

Hurrah for bright-robed Spring!
She comes with her angel-band,
And sparkling gems DER Earth upspring,
AS she waves her magic waad.
Hurrah for the blooming flowers.
The bursting buds, and the leaves!
Oh soon they'll deck our bowers
With the garlands Flora weaves.
Hurrah for the perfumed breeze,
AS it sings in our fav'rite grove,
Around the hallowed trees,
The trysting place Of Love.
Hurrah for the glorious sunshine,
The warm, bright days OF Spring,
The merry notes of the joyous birds
AS they fit by on the wing!
Hurrah for the gushing streams.
Now freed from Winters thrall,
And dashing, meath sunny beams,
To the leaping waterfall!
Hurrah for mount and plain,
The moon and stars so bright!
Spring holds her court and reign
At morn, at noon, and night.
Hurrah for the honest Farmer!
He labors now with zest,
Prepares the soil, plants the Seed
Kind Heaven does the rest.
Hurrah for the Farmers boy.
Oh we'll he guides his steed
With merry "Gee-wo-hoy,"
AS his plough moves on with speed.
Hurrah for the angel, Spring
That smiles DER all the land,
And bird and bee, flower and tree,
Feel her reviving hand.

MARK OF ILL-BREEDISG-Therc is no better
test of ill-breeding than the practice Of inter
rupting another in conversation by speaking, or
commencing a remark before another has fully
closed. No well bred person ever does it, nor
continues conversation long with one who does.
The latter often finds an interesting converse
ton abruptly waived, closed, or declined by the
former, without suspecting the cause. a we'll
bred person will not even interrupt one who is in
all respects greatly inferior If YOU wish to
judge the good-breeding of person with whom
YOU are but little acquainted, observe him or her
in this respect, and you will not be deceived.
However intelligent, fluent, or easy she may APP
pear, this grace proves the absence of true po-
liteness. 1t is often amusing to see persons pri-
ding themselves on the gentity Of their man
ncrs and putting forth all their efforts to appear
to advantage i'll many other respects, 50 readily
betray all i'll this particular.

ROADS ARE CIvILIzERs.-Mr Summer in a
recent speech uttered the following philosophical
reflections upon the agency Of Roads in advancing
civilization:
"Where roads are not, civilization cannot be !;
and civilization advances as roads are extended.
BY these, religion and knowled ge are ditfused !;
intercourse OF all kinds is promoted; the produ-
Ger. the manufacturer. and the consumer AFRO all
brought nearer together; commerce is quicken
ed; markets are opened; property, wherever
touched by these lines, is changed as by magic
rod, into new values, and the great current of
travel like that stream of classic fable, or one of
the rivers of our own California, hurries in chan
mel of golden sand. The roads, together with
the laws of ancient Rome, are now better re-
membercd than her victories. The Flaminian
and Appian ways-once trod by returning pro-
consuls and tributary kings-stil remain as be-
ncficent representatives of her departed grandeur.
Under God, the road and the schoolmaster are
the two chief agents of human improvement.
The education begun by the schoolmasters is
expanded, libcrazed and completed, by inter
course with the world; and this intercourse finds
new opportunities and inducements in every road
that is built"

lie must have been a good deal of an obser-
yer, and something of a philosopher also, who
wrote as follows, in a unique paper, some fifteen
years ago:
"Man is never contented. He is the fretful
baby of trouble and care, and he will continue
to worry and fret, no matter how pretty are the
playthings that are laid before him to please him.
He will sometimes fret because he can find moth
ing to fret about I've known just such man
myself If he were bound to live in this world
forever, he would fret because he couldn't leave
and 60 to another, "just for change" and now,
seeing that SOONER or later he must 60, and no
mistake, ne frets like Gagged porcupine and
thinks he would like to live here always. The
fact is, he don't know what he wants.
"rve seen about enough of this world my
self. For forty years I've been searching every
nook and corner for some pleasant spring of hap
piness, instead of which have only found few
tiood,swollen streams, bearing upon their surface
innumerable bubbles of vanity, and all along by
their margin nests of young humbugs are con-
tinually being Matched. l have drank of these
waters nigh unto bursting, and have always de-
parted as dry as cork.
"In fact, I've been kicked about like an old
hat, nearly used up by the flagellations of Old
Time, and am now feeling the way with my cane
down to the silent valley. But, yet, I'm happ-
