Sweet and Bitter.

When was little boy, l remember
one cold winters day / was accosted by u
smiling man, with an axe on his shoulder
"My little fellow, has your father a
grindstonea" ..-
"Yes, sir"
"You're fine little fellow-will you
let me grind my axe upon it."
Pleased with the compliment of fine lit
tie fellow, ] answered.
ooh, yes, sir! sit down in the shop"
"And will you, my little man." tapping
me on the head, "gct me little hot wa
ter 2" - .....
How could refuse? I ran and soon
brought a kettle full.
"How old are youl What is your
name? am sure YOU are one of the best
lads / ever saw. Will you just turn few
minutes?" + = y
Ticl>led with his hattery, like fool, l
went to work, and bitterly did | rue the
day. 1t was new axe, and | toiled and
tugged until l was tired almost to death
The school-bell rang, and could not get
away; my hands were blistered, and it
was not half ground. At length, howev-
er, the axe was sharpencd, and the man
turned to me with
"Now, you little rascal, you have play
ed the truant-scud to school, or you'll
rue it.,
Alas thought |, it was hard enough to
turn the grindstonc and then to be call
cd "a little rascal" was indeed too much.
1t sunk deep in my heart, and I have
often thought of it since.
When have seen a man of doubtful
character patting pretty girl on the
cheek, praising her sparkling eyes aud ru-
by lips, and giving her a light sqeeze--bc-
ware, my girls, think I, or you will find,
to your sorrow, that you have Icen turn

Beautiful Thoughts.
BY BISHOP TAYLOR.
- -. y

BY BISHOP TAYLOR. -
God has sent some angels into the
world, whose office is to refresh the sorrow
of the poor, and to enlighten the eyes Of
the disconsolate. And what greater plea
sure can We have, than that we should
bring JOY to our brother; that the tongue
should be tuned with heavenly accents,
and make the weary soul listen for light
and case; and when he perceives that
there is such thing in the world, and in
the order Of things, as comfort and joy, to
begin to break out from the prison of his
sorrows at the door of sighs and tears, and
by little begin to melt into showers and
refreshments This is glory to thy voice
and employment fit for the brightest an
gel. .a .--..a ... 7...r ....,
So l have seen the sun kiss the frozen
earth which was bound up with the ina
ges Of death and the colder breath of the
north and then the waters break from
their enclosure, and melt with JOY, and
run i'll useful channels, and flies do rise
again from their little graves in walls,and
dance awhile in the air to tell that Joy is
within and that the great mother of.csca-
lures will open the stock of new refresh
meni, become useful to mankind, and sing
praises to the Redeemer; so is the heart
of sorrowful man under the discourse of
wise comfort; breaks from the despair of
the grave and the fettcrs and chains of
sorrow-he blcsses God and he blcsscs
thee, and he feels his life returning; Cor to
be miserable is death, but nothing is life
but the comforter G d is pleased with
no music below so much as the thanks
giving song Of relieved widows, and sup
ported orphans, Of rejoicing, comforted
and thankful persons. .... ......-. ..

The Call to Prayer.

Among the many beautiful illusions to
the solemn and soothing sound of the
"church going bell" as it riggs out on
the clear morning air ofthc Sabbath COM
mend us to the following quaint, yet sur
passingly effective homily, from the pen
of the gifted Jcrrold, the well known au-
thor of "Sr. Giles and st. James" '...
There is something beautiful in the
church bells. Beautiful and hopeful
They talk to high and low, rich and poor
in the same voice; there is sound in them
that should scare pride and envy, and
meanness of all sorts from the heart of
man that should make him look on the
world with kind, forgiving eyes that
should make the earth seem to him, at
least for time, a holy place. Yes, there
is Il whole sermon in the very sound of
the church bells, ifw only had the ears
to understand IL: there is preacher in
every ~pelfry. that 'acries---.Poors weary,
struggling, fighting creatwes--poor hu-
man things, take rest, lie quiet. Forget
your vanitics; your follics, your week day
craft" '.H ..f'.A
And you, yc human vescels, gilt and
painted, believe the iron tongue that tells
ye that, for all your gliding, all your col
ors, we ara the same Adams earth, with
the bcggarS in your gates. Come away
come, cries the church bell, and learn To
be humble: learn, that, however daubed
and stained about, with jewels, you are
but grave clay! Come, Dives, come,
and be taught that ali your glory, as you
wear il, is not halfso beautiful in the eve
of Heaven, ms the sores ofthc uncompIain-
ing Lazarus; and yc, poor creatures, Iivid
and faint-stained and crushed by the
prides and hardships of the world d-come,
come, cries the bell, with the voice Of an
angel-come, and learn what is laid up
for ye. Aud learning, take heart, and
walk amidst the wickedness, the cruclties
of tha world, calmly. as Daniel walked
among the lions. f1s'a He.'

avail himself of ANY and all Improvements

avail himself oflany and all improvements
in farming, took an Agricultural paper
which, perhaps, gave him hints how to pro-
ceed--but, to use his own language, "he
got ahead of his papers," The plan he
adopted was laborious one, and with his
force, very few men would have undertaken
it, He began by digging large open bitches
or canals to convey the water into the creek,
and on each side of these canals he forms
his trunks, whichis done by digging parallel
bitches, 10 or 20 feet apart, throughout the
whole of the swamp, running so as to inter
sect the canals, which carry of all the water.
After digging these bitches, he places pole
of the size of ground pole for fence, at
each siee in the bottom of the ditch, and on
these poles is placed very large gum log,
which abound in the swamp, and could not
otherwise be of service. He then throws
earth over this ditch, generally deep enough
to produce good stalk of corn. Under
meath this log is trunk which never fills
with dirt, and the water has free passage
into the canals, as above stated. These
trunks are dug 81 feet deep by % feet wide;
but may be less if timber is not convent ent
to fill the trunk sufficiently, as in the pre-
sent case. Mr.. Channey was laughed at by
his ncighbors when he undertook the her
culean task of reducing those swamps to cul-
tivation; but we challange the District to
produce finercrop of wheat than his, stand
ing on the land that was few years ago,
in wet weather, regular pond, and when all
other land was dry, was mire of or
inches deep. The cost was heavy on him
in consequence of n want of sufficient force.
1t averaged $3S per acre; but the first year
paid for his trouble, as well as the price of
the land. The wheat crop this year will be
from 35 to 40 bushels to the acre. 1t is un-
doubtedly the richest we ever saw-breast
high to any man, well headed, and free from
rust or smut. He has promised to square
one acre, and measure and send the result
to the writer of this article, which snail APP
pear as soon rs convenient. We believe it
to be our duty to impart any information
that may be of service to our farmers; and if
any good can be effected for Mr.. Channcy or
the readers, VIC viii be fully paid for our
trouble. ErwAN.

Thou Wilt Never Meet Me More.

Thou art gone, but am keeping
In my heart thy treasured name;
If I'm smiling-if I'm weeping,
Thou art with me all the same.
Yes, the link at last is riven,
All our pleasant dreams are DER, +,
And, unless we meet in heaven,
Thou wilt never meet me more.
Once the summer sun alighted
On the petals of a rose,
And although her leaves he blighted,
Still he fingered till life's close.
Thus the heart has sometimes cherished
Thoughts thatwear away the soul,
Giving pleasure while we perish,
Meath this strange yet sweet control.
Thou art gone, yet love hath hcuad thoo
Thou mast struggle to forget,
In the .heartless crowd around thee;
All in vain !-thou'rt captive yet
All, forgive the pain I've given,
And thine own deep wrongs of wore,
For unless we meet in heaven,
Thou wilt never meet me more.

DOMESTIC EcoHoMY.--Of all the arts
of human life, there is no one branch more
important than the economy Of the house
hold, and yet, strange to say, it is more
talked ofand less written about, than any
thing else. What lady ever took tea
with a neighbor, that did not find out all
about the mullins, how much saleratus
and soda was put into the biscuit how
the butter came to be yellow, and the
thousand triaes, which go to make house
keeper. Now, if that information is worth
any thing to the immediate neighborhood,
is it not equally valuable to those at /,
distancel We should like much to give
series of articles, each number, on our
own peculiar domestic economy. There
have been great losses among our house
keepers in following directions from abroad
for putting meat into pickle, making pre-
serves, sweetmcats, jellies, pickles, &c. The
extreme heat Of the climate is not taken
into consideration, and loss frequently
ensues. Weknow that many are opposed
to book cooking, as well as to book farming,
but we have yetrto learn. that nature ever
taught the art Of baking, stcwing, or rost-
ing and as all have not the same oppor-
tunities for picking up information on these
important subjects, We again offer our
columns for the dissemination of all useful,
practical receipts. Madam, we will thank
you for the history of that batter cake, of
that snow-white bread, of that acid, brit
tie pickle. And you, sweet miss, tell us
what witchcraft wrought that light, spongy
cake, from that heavy, leathery dough.
How that melting, quivcring jelly came
from the acrid crab; how the fimsy, soil
el lace again appears in snowy beauty.
Tell us all this, and more, and perchance
we will give you something in return
which You did not know before-thus Civ
ing and receiving, until one mind, and
one heart, shall bind together, the sisters
of the South.-Soit Of the South. e.

Trunk, or Blind Ditching.

We are surprised to see such quantities of
swamp and bottom land lying altogether
useless to the owners, when, by proper
means, these lands might be brought to the
highest state of cultivation. Our expert
ence in farming is very limited; yet we have
good authority for proposing q system of
trunking land which contain an abundance
of water.
The first experiment Of this kind that
came within our knowledge, was made few
years since, by DIR. J. J. Trautham, in Ker-
shaw Disttict. This land lies on a branch
which runs into Flat Rock Creek, and is
composed of gravel and clay; yet was gene
rally wet or swampy after rain. Being of
good soil, and lying in good position for
tillage, the Doctor supposed he could redeem
it to state of cultivation. He therefore
undertook, (at some expense, as his force
was small0 to run bitches through in paral-
lei lines to intersect the main stream, and by
this means carry off all the water. And
in order 20 make no obstruction, he dug
these bitches in such form as might be
filled with pine poles, or other timber, and
then be covered over, so as to prevent the
frequent stopping and turning which these
bitches would have caused, and also to dis.
Pense with the labor Of continually clearing
out We have seen very pretty corn grow
on this land, which, before, at intervals, was
amiry swamp. It has amply repaid, long
since, all the time and labor expended in re-

as a general thing, was introduced into,
South Alabama more than ten years ago,
and no crop, not even corn, has proved
uniformly more certain and satisfactory.
With the solitary exception Of 1851, when
a severe frost caIne just as the wheat was
heading, and almost cntierly distroyed It,
no casualty of Importance has happened
to it, The rust has rarely shown itself and
smut hardly been known during all this
time. So certain indeed has the crop
been considered that the culture has rap
idly extended during the last four or five
years. When we take into view the slo-
venly mode of culture and the little labor
bestowed on it, we doubt whether the,
most fertile portion of the west gives a
better result. In all kinds of soil-sandy
uplands, river and creek bottoms, red lands
and praires-it has succeeded equally well,
the general product being from ten to fif-
teen bushels to the acre. The latter de-
scrption ofland, containing large amount
of cafcareous matter, seems peculiarly
adapted to the growth of this cereal. AS
the culture becomes to be better undestood
and planters get into the habit of more
pains-taking, large portion of this region
will doubtless be devoted to wheat We
may mention in this connection that it has
been found that good South Alabama
wheat isseveral pounds hc1vicr per bushel
than the best Western.-SouMern Press.
