ways present, is seldom used; and then
the most cruel and indictive whipper is
the colOred ''mavoral." not the white
oyerseer. The planters themselves have
little or nothing to do with their negroes
Some Of them allow their slaves to come
to them personally, with their wants,
wishes and grievances; and these hui
name gentlemen find that nothing is
lost in fulfilling the universal law Of
kindness. As far as have seen, the
proprietcrs are anxious to promote the
comfort, health, and happiness Of their
slaves. No doubt there are exceptions
to the general rule, but they are much
rarer than certain persons would have
us believe.
cline great and increasing scarcity Of
slaves in Cuba, renders it a matter of
se!t-i@terest with the planters, to keep
them, not only in good working, but in
very healthy condition. TO this end
they must be weI-trd and not over-task-
ed, particularly the females. A negro
boy, four or five years old, is valued at
three hundred and fifty dollars, and is
decidedly worth raising. A few years
since the Cubans obtained permission
from Government to import Chinese la
borers; and there are probably some
seven or eight thousand on the Island.
These men Sind themselves to work
eight years, at the rate of four dollars
and a half month. At the expiration
of the time they are permitted to return
or to remain in Cuba. The demand for
labor is increasing SO rapidly IN the Is
land, that orders, for very large impor-
tatlons have been sent to China the pres
ent year. The Cubans would prefer to
bring over laborers from Spain but the
Government will not permit"

Little Things.

Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean,
And the beauteous land.
And the little momenis,'
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
or eternity.
So our little errors
Lead the soul away
From the paths Of virtue,
OF In sin TO stray.
Little deeds of kindness,
Little WORDS OF love.
Make our earth an Eden,
Like the heaven above.
Little seeds ofmercy,
Sown by youthful bands,
Grow to bless the nations,
Far in heathcn lands.

A PRopHET.-Jonas Welch, of MIS-
souri, prophecied five years ago, that on
the Sd of March, 1852, he would lose
his eldest daughter, and that on the Goth
day of October, 1852, he would lose his
wife. On the days specified his wife
and daughter died. He now says on the
18th day Of August, 1854, he will die
himself of cholera. He is considerably
distressed about the matter, and never
for moment doubts but that his life
then terminates. He has already ar
ranged his worldly affairs, as we'll as
spiritual, to be in readiness for the fatal
period.

Bonaparte and Wellington were born in the
same year; and Burns and Hog, the Scotch
poets, were both born on January The 18th; hrt
it is more remarkable that the two greatest
dramatic poets of uoirrn Europe (ShaAc.paarr

ADVERTISEMENT EXTRAoRDINARY.-
The ingenuity OF advertisers is taxed to
the utmost in search Of novel ways of
attracting the public attention. The
following from the advertising columns
OF the Louisville Journal, is good in its
way

A SINGULAR CAsE.-An English pa
per Of a late date, states, that a ma
named Thomas Mitchell. IN rising from
his bed, being apparently in perfect
health, put his hands up over his head,
giving hearty yawn, when one OF the
leaders at the back of his neck snapped,
and his head was forced half round.
Surglcal assistance was shortly at hand L,
but his head could not be restored to its
proper position. The pain on the move
ment of any of the muscles is most in
tense, and he is considered to be in a
perilous condition.

SOMNAMBULlsM.-A curious case OF
somnambulism is related in the Chilli
Gothic (Ohio) Gazette. A daughter of
Mr.. Thomas KANE arose from her sleep,
and in her night clothes walked four
miles up the Sciota river, waded into
the stream, and swan across the deep
part, and was found by an "early riser'
sitting on the bank Of the river asleep!
Remarkable enough, as the girl was
only thirteen years old, and could not
swim when awake.

PRINCIPLES OF AGRICULTURE
great principles of agriculture, are the
same everywhere. Animal and vegets-
BILE matter constitute everywhere the
food OF plants, and heat, moisture, and
atmospheric air are universally the ac-
tive agents OF vegetable nutrition. With
a knowledge oftht truth of These prin-
clples, it is the province of man to ap-
ply them, under the various contingent
cles OF climate, soil and season. And
this is a labor in which the mind, en-
lIshtened by science and fortified IN its
conclusions by experience, can do far
more than the hands. The cultivated
mind, like steam power, is labor-sav-
ing principle, capable of performing or
saving, an immense amount OF labor.
WEEvIL.--These troublesome pests
may be kept out of grain by using salt.
Sprinkle little fine salt on the bottom
and around the sides Of the bin as vou
fill up, and over the top when full.
Wheat kept in old salt barrels will new
er be destroyed by the weevlls.
TO DESTROY WEEvIL IN GRAIN
Soak linen clothes in water, wrlng them
and cover your grain with them. In
two hours time you will find all the
weevils on the cloth, which must be
carefully gathered off that none OF the
insects may escape, and then immersed
in water to destroy them.
CATERplLLARs.-Ac correspondent re-
minds US hat this is the season to de-
stroy the nests OF vermin tina. 60 diStig-
ure our trees. Look at almost every
tree in the city, and you will sre hang
ing from its branches innumcrable PEN
dant nests, swinging in the breeze, look
ing like natural appendages Of the tree.
They are dried leaves wound into con-
form shape and CULTIVATED firmly.
Open one OF them and you will find
thousands Of caterpillars' eggs inside;
thus protected from the frosts Of winter
and waiting for warm weather TO come
forth and devour the leaves, and final
ly TO work destruction to all our shade
trees. Every good citizen should feel
bound to cut them from trees on hs
grounds, for his own sake and the pub
lie welfare.
These destructive vermin may be cas-
lily removed when the trees are getting
trimmed, or an individual, with a sim
pie or long rod, may be able to take or
whip them all off. They look like dead
leaves on the trees, but may be known
by their cocoon form, and by hanging
by a tiament to the branches.
