adoption of colors, without reference to

see light blue bonnet and flowers sur

complexion, associated with a canary
or lemon yellow, or one Of lemon vel
low, or one Of delicate red and white,
rendered almost colorless by the vicinity

that there will be no intermediate class be-
tween those who toll and spin, aud those
whose claim to be ladies' is founded on,heir
being incapable of any thing Of value or

the term lady, estimate the clearness OF
their title precisely in the ratio of their USE

the adjustment Of al! the Compliments of her
dress, each of which has a contour which on

settle; allow her time to receive morning
sisitants, and prepare for afternoon appoint
ments and evening parties, and what time

enormous miscalculation, an infinite mis-
chief-an evil not Of transitory or minor
importance, but lraught with misery and
ruin, not only to the fair ones themselves,
but To society aud the age.

of many, who, though not So often quoted for

INTELLECTUAL CULTURE. While we
deem 1t our duty TO encourage the better
cultivation of the farm, we deem it also of
the first Importance, that the mind and the
heart be not neglected. They need cult

readily yield good fruits. Cultivate the in

men who have struggled with difficulties in
acquiring knowledge, aud so must have ac-
CURED habits of industry, diligence, self
government, aud seIf-deniaI who yet have
remained bad men. Such instances are
rare. There may be distinguished scholars
and men eminent in the sciences, and as
statesmen, who are bad men but we know
not how much worse they would have been,
but for their love of knowledge. Knowl-
edge is directly power, aud indirectly yr-

BuRsrNG or Hone KONG. We have the fol-
lowing particulars OF the great fire at Hong Kong,
in the Tribune Of March 3:
The barque WIN. Watson arrived yesterday,
90 DAYS from Hong Kong, bringing intelligence
of most disastrous conilagratlon IN that city.
Nearly all the city is consumed. Hundreds of
lives have been lost. Every newspaper office
has been destroyed. The barque brings no files,
and we are dependent on the officers ofthe vessel
for the particulars which we subjon. The fire
occurred on the 26th of December and comInen-
ced in the China Bazaar. 1t spread with fearful
rapldity among the bamboo houses OF the CHI
nese and soon commune ated to the finest part OF
the city, becoming perfectly resistless The loss
of life among the Chinese was dreadful. The
number that persisted had not been ascertained.
One Colonel of an English regiment lost his life
in an attempt to blow up building and arrest
the flames. Also lieutenant belonging to ii.
b. N. ship Hastings killed by the falling
! timbers OF a house which had been blown up
A Sergeant of sappers and miners met similar
fate. The public market was destroyed and
much suffering was experienced for few days
after the fire. The Governor and SIR VIM bow

provisions adopted for the public welfare, was

How TO MAKE A FoRTUsE.-Take
earnestly hold of life, us capacliated for,
and destined 10, n high aud noble pur-
pose. Study closely The minds bent
for labor or profession. Adopt it early,
and pursue it steadily, never looking
back to the turning furrow, but forward
to the new ground that ever remains to
be broken. Means and ways are alum
dant TO every mans success, If will and
actions are rightly adapted TO them
Our rich men and our great men have
carved their paths to fortune, and by this
eternal principle that cannot fail to re-
ward its votary, if il be resolutely pur
sued. TO sigh or repinc over the lack
of inheritance, is unmanIy. Every man
should strive to be creator instead Of an
inhertor. He should bequeath instead
of borrow. The human race in this re-
spect, want dignity and discipline. 1t
prefers to WELD the sword of valorous
iorefathers, TO forging its own weapons.
This is n mean and ignoble spirit. Let
every man be conscious of the power in

earn crust than to inherit Golfers OF

porAroe PLANTiNG.-The Plow Loom
and Anvil gives the experiment of three
farmers ia raising potatoes, by mulching
with straw, which succeeded well in each
case This is no new experiment. 1t
has been practised, with various success,
more or less, in Vermont, for the last TWEEN
u years, by few ingenious aud enierpris-
lng farmers The thing is simple and
easily done. Prepare the land, by deep and
mellow ploughing; harrow it we'll; then
Mace the seed ends Of cut potatoes, the
eyes upwards, in rows about two feet apart
upon the surface. Cover the whole with
straw or barn litter, four or FIVE inches
deep The work Of planting is then done,

This is what is called mulchng; but no
greater yield may be expected than is usual

PEAR-SHApED QuiNcE.-We give a
beautiful illustration Of this variety Of the
ounce, not because we think it the best
kind, but to give in our list of fruits all
the leading kinds, so that the culliya,or
may make his selection among them all.
Mr. Downing says "the pear shipped
ounce is larger and Of finer texture than
the apple shaped. 1t is rather tough
when stewed or cooked, the flesh is less
lively in color, and il is therefore much
less esteemed than the apple-shaped va
rieiy The fruit is of medium size, OBJ
long, tapering to the stalk, and shaped
much like pear. The skin is yellow.
The leaves are oblong oyate. II ripcns

about fortnight later, and may be pre-
served in raw state considerably lon
ger"
We think ounces make a much better
preserve by being kept sometime before
using them. We have kept them three
months in damp cellar before preserv-
ing, and then found rich, tender and de-
lcious.
As the ounce is only used as dessert
fruit, we would not recommend its very
extensive cultivation. There is no such
danger with the apple, as Massachusetts
produces scarcely enough for home con
sumption yet.

SOMETHING WORTH kNuwING 1t is
fact perhaps not generally known to FAR
mers, that there are two parts in the
polaloe, which If separated and planted
at the same time, one will produce pota
toes Ill for the table eight or ten DAYS
sooner than the other. The small end
OF the po,atoe, which is generally full
OF eyes, is the part which produces the
earliest; the middle or body of the pota-
Toe the late aud always largest potatoes.
HAsrY CoNcLusIoSs.-Men are too
apt 10 draw general conclusions from
PARTICULAR and local facts. We observed
a'ely an example in paper, where
correspondent had tried the mode,
strongly recommended, Of hanging up
ms eabbages by cords in his cellar for
fresh keeping through winter They
NIlhered, shrunk, and became worthless.
The fault was in his cellar-llke most
other cellars, it was too dry for this pur-
pose-with some which are quite damp,
1t succeeds well. We have kept cabba-
ges through winter in fine condition, in
cellar not moist by placing them close
~ together in one layer on boards laid
on the bottom, and under the apple
shelves, which occupied the central por-
uon. They were in a moist part of the
cellar, and the circulation of air, as when
suspended, could not dry them rapidly
"i'h other cellars perhaps this node
would prove failure.
