G0itor's GabIe.

V0x PopULI.-This is a weekly journal, pub
lished in Lowell, Mass, of the larger class Of
newspapers, taking u neusral stand in politics,
and receiving, as q thin. it unquestionably dc.
serves, a very EXTENDED patronage, with q well
digested summary Of ssws and general intelli-
gence inside, the outside form furnishes a mis-.
cellany of more richness and variety than is Of
ten to be met with any where. The editor evi.
IDENTIFY understands how to make an interesting
paper as well as a valuable one.
PETERsoN's MAGAZINE FOR MARcH.-The
contents of this number are, The Fortune in the
Tea Cup-a good story Thu Second Lover ;
The Oakleys Little Walter; The G,psey's Leg
dcy; with the usual variety of shorter articles,
all quite Interesting. We did not receive the
February number. Will the publishers forward
it, and oblige.
"MRs. NICHOLS SPEEoH."-Such is the title
of a neatly executed pamphlet forwarded us by
the authoress, the well known editor of the
Windham County Democrat, being her address
before the Woman's Rights Convention at Wor-
cester last October. Those who take up this
pamphlet with the expectation of finding nothing
in it but extravagant defamation about the
right of women to vote and make laws, will find
themselves mistaken. Mrs. N. strikes with a
bold hand directly at the defects of our legal
system in not aiiording what she claims adequate
protection to the property rights of women, il
lustrating the subject with force and ingenuity,
and presenting arguments not easily to be refu-
ted while her remarks on tho responsibilities
OF women, and the education they should re.
ceive for a proper apprehension and discharge
of the duties of their high mission, contain much
strong common sense and sound wisdom. If the
women of Vermont will read this address we
predict that nine out of ten of them would &C.
knowledge themselves instructed.

Orange Co. Agricultural Society

Mr.. Enron AS your paper circulates some
what extensively in this section, / have thought
that a few words relative to the agricultural in
terests of Orange County would be welcome to
a place in your paper. You are doubtless aware
that, unlike many of her sister counties, "Old
Orange" has ever nobly sustained her Agrlcul-
tural Society, and that Annual Fairs have been
regularly holden, with increased interest and
profit to all concerned. The farmers and me-
chanics of the County are of the right stamp
never allowing themselves to become weary in
a good cause. Already arc they once more IN
the field, making preparations to carry out the
objects of the Society this year, with increased
zeal and efficiency. At recent meeting OF the
Society at Chelsea, a committee of one in each
town was appointed, with power to appoint assls-
tants in each school district, for the purpose OF
procuring the statistics of the sales of agricul-
tural and mechanical products in their respective
towns for the year ending the Both of next June,
and 70 report the same to the Society. If this
matter is fully carried out, a vast fund of inter
esting information will be accumulated. The
next Fair of the society is to be holden at Ran
dolph, on the 22d of September 1852. As an
inducement to have the coming fair held in that
place, two responsible gentlemen of Randolph
pledged fifty dollars each to the funds of the
Society from that tpSjp alone. This is the way
to make a gOqd prosper, and we predict
that the Fair akR ahlolph@8ill be gathering of
the deepest interest, profit and pleasure to all
who may attend it. That everything will be
managed in a manner satisfactory to all, no one
will doubt, when he knows that such men as ].
P. Kidder, P. D. Bradford, Edmund Weston,
Philandsr Perrin, and Loren GrlswOld, all of
Randolph, are the committee of arrangements
and that Hon. Geo, P. Baldwin, of Bradford, is
President Of the Society. ORANGE COUNTY.
We insert the above with great pleasure, and
commend the example our Orange County
friends are about TO give to the consideration of
tho friends of agriculture in Washington and
other Counties. The collection of correct sta
tstics will be a most important step for all flu
ture movements for the advancement of the
great interest which SO loudly calls for aid and
improvement in Vermont. This State is being
rapidly drained Of our best young men, and if
something cannot be done to induce more of
them to remain, we may all as well run away in
a body.-ED.

A Voice from the Masses.

One of our patrons appends to a business
letter received a few days ago, the following
pithy remarks, which we insert not only because
they are inst and forcible, but as a specimen of
the numerous expressions Of the kind which we
are daily receiving from various parts of the
State, all going to show the uncOmpromising
hostility still entertained by the great mass Of
our people against the Fugitive Slave law, which
the leaders of the old parties these days seem
to think they can slide over and still retain their
followers. Well, we shall see.-ED.
81 always like to see consistency, and as
there are many people in our little world that
give their votes for the promotion of Slavery
and presuming that they would wish to have
their votes and prayers in unison, | should be
pleased if you, or some one, would give them a
form that they may know what words would be
suitable to use, when they bow before their ma
ker in humble duplication for the spread Of
Slavery it might be Of great use to them
surely it would be pleasing to me. Liberty has
to strive against wind and tide. Plate and
Herod are good friends for the slave power.
Truly we live ina day of wonders-a day Of
progress. l see the old parties are setting down
passive, if not contented under the acts of our
last Congress and if they can, and will do this,
| defy Congress to pass a Bill that they will
not submit to.
do not know the difference between Con-
gress passing an act inficting $1,000 fine on
me and six months Imprisonment if l suffer a

An INTELLIGENT SOLoN.-A few evenings
since, one of our City Fathers, who has late
ly manifested great antipathy to the free
dom of the press, fell in with a company of
printers at the Woodruff House. Among
that company of printers was the delegate to
the National Typographical Union, from the
city of Albany, n. Y. To the gentleman the
wise City Father was introduced as the MEM
Der OF Council from the - Ward.
Happy TO see you, sir-haPpy of your ac-
quaintance,' said the Councilman, grasping
the hand Of the intelligent typo. Always
glad 10 see any body from Albany. for II IS a
fine country. Hhat portion Of albany do yos'
Hre i0 I?
The Typo was about to reply that he did
not live in the country at all, but a sudden
burst Of laughter from the entire crowd rem
dered answer useless. The official Fa-
iher was somewhat puzzled at the humor of
the party, yet consented to laugh also. He
also joined with the crowd in drinking to the
country Of Albany.-[Tn. Times.

Arr OF SwIMMIsG.-Men are drowned by
raising their arms above the water, the un-
buoyed weight of which depresses the head.
Other animals have neither notion or ability
to act in similar manner, and therefore swim
naturally When a man falls into deep va
ter, he will rise 10 the surface, and will con-
,inue there if he does not elevate his hands.
If he moves his hands under the water, in
any way he pleases, his head will rise so
high as 10 allow him liberty to breathe and
If he will use his legs in the act of walk
ing, (or rather of walking up s,airs,} his
shoulders will rise above the water, so that he
may use the less exeriion with his hands, or
apply them to other purposes. These plain
directions are recommended to the recollection
of those who have not learned 10 swim in
their youth, as they may be found highly ad-
vantageous in preserving life.

THE DREAMER.

The following remarkable lines are from vol
ume of Poems by Seamstress," and are said
TO be truly the productions of a poor English
girl. They are indeed beautiful; and. under the
circumstances, thoroughly and thoughtfully ap-
propriate.l
Not in the laughing bowers
Where, Wy green twinIng elms, pleasant shade
At summers is made;
Steal the rich breath of the enamored flowers,
Dream L. Nor where the golden glories be,
AT sunset, laying er the flowing sea;
And TO pure eyes the faculty is given
To trace smooth ascent from Earth to Heaven.
Not on the couch of ease,
With all the appliances OF JOY at hand
Soft light, sweet fragrance, beauty at command;
Viands that might god-like palate please,
And Music s soulcreatiy" ecstacics.
Dream l. Nor gloating Ger wild estate,
Till the full, complacent heart elate,
Well satisfied with bliss Of mortal birth,
$ chs for an Immortality on earth.
But where the incessant lin
OF iron hands, and roars of brazen throats
Join their unmingled notes;
While the long summer day is pouring in,
Til day is gone and darkness does begin,
Dream I as in the corner where lie
On wintry night just covered from the sky;
Such Is my fate, and barren though if seem
Yet, thou blind solles scorner, yet dream!
And yet, l dream Tbeen
Dream whata Were men more Just, | might have
How strong, how fair, how kindly and serene,
Glowing of heart, and glorious of mien;
The conscious crown 10 Natures blissful scene
In just and equal brotherhood TO CLEAN,
With all mankind, exhaustless pleasure keen
Such Is my dream.
And yet dream
|, the despised of fortune lift mine eye,
Bright with the lustre OF integrity,
In unappealng wretcheiness on high,
And the last rage OF Destiny defy;
Resolved alone 10 live-alone to die,
Nor swell the tide Of human misery.
And yet, l dream;
Dream ola sleepwhere dreams no more shall come,
Ny last my first, my only welcome home!
Rest unbeheld since life beginning stage,
Sole remnant of my glorious heritage.
Unalienable, / shall find thee vet,
And, in thy soft embrace, the past forgetl
Thus DO l dream.

From the moment she had made the re-
solve to save her lover, Mary Blenhan was
no longer the shrinking timid girl. In an
hour bitter hour Of SORROW, almost cf des-
pair, she felt herself become a woman, and
determined woman IS never conquered by
difficulties. Her first step was to secure the
aid Of one of the soldiers, for her own strength
vas insufficient for the ACCOMPLISHMENT Of
many Of the details Of her plan. After much
thought, she determined to apply to Corporal
PickeJ-with whom we have already been
made acquainted and she hoped that he
might be induced 10 help her, partly bscause
she herself had always found him TO be a
kind-hearted fellow; partly because she knew
he disllked Dor Wilson, and would be glad
of an opportunity Of disappointing his ven
geance; and partly, perhaps chiefly, because

CLovKs-Cloves are the unopened flowers Of a
small evergreen tree that resembles in appear
ance the laurel of the bay. 1t is native of the
Molucca, or Spice Islands, but bas been carried
10 all the warmer parts of the world and is large
ly cultivated in the tropical regions Of America.
The flowers are small in size, and grow in large
numbers in clusters at the very ends of the branch
es. The cloves we use are the flowers gathered
before they have opened, and whilst they still
green. After being gathered they smoked by
a wood fire and then dried IN the sun. Each Glove
consist of two parts, a round head, which is the
four petals or leaves of the flowers rolled up,
closing number OF stalks or Rlaments, the other
part Of the Glove is terminated with four points,
and Is IN fact the flower cup, and the lnripe seed
vessel. All these parts may be distinctly seen II
few leaves are soaked Tor a short time in hot
water, when the leaves Of the flowers soften, and
readily unroL.
The smell of Glove Is vf~y strong and aromatic,
bat not unpleasant. Botfs the taste and the smell
depend on the quantity Of I'll they contain. Some
times the oil IS separated arom the cloves before
they are sold, and the cdor and taste in conse-
quenoe, IS much weakened by this proceeding
