ANECDOTE OF A GATE.

A correspondent of the Home Journal,
writing of gates, tells this anecdote FL
once passed though door-yard gate, which
did, though Internationally, give an indica-
ton Of the designers character. The gate
was common one, shut by chain and ball.
But the post, to which the inner end Of the
chain was attached, was carved and painted
in the likeness of negro, with one hand
raised to his cooked hat, and the other ex-
tended to welcome you in. As you opened
the gate towards you, in going in, the negro
post-porter bent towards you, by joint in
his back, and fairly bowed you in. Upon let
ting the gate go, spring in his back brought
him up standing again, ready for the next
conner. This faithful fellow performed the
amiable for his master for many years, with
out reward, except now and then new coat
of paint; and finally died Of a rheumatic
back, contracted in his masters service"

ECONOMY IN WIVES.

A young married woman, who has not had
the opportunity of profting by the advice
and example of good mother, will find some
difficulty at FIRST in spending her money to
the best advantage; for there is really an
art in spending money, though it is getting
rid Of it. Some women will keep house res.
pectably and plentifully on one third less
money then will be required by others. or
without either meanness or illiberal desling.
But to do this, judgment. forethought, and
experience are necessary. One woman shall
be able to tell you how much her house keep.
ing costs to shilling, while another cannot
guess within ten. The former has method,
rule, regularity, and a certain sum assigned to
her; with the latter it is all bap- hazard it
comes and it goes, she neither knows how, nor
cares. And this is almost sure to be the case
if the money is doled out BY her husband in
few shillings at time.

The singular custom Of wearing wedding
rings, appears to have originated among the
Romans. Before the celebration Of their
nuptials, there was meeting Of friends at the
lady's father, to settle the articles Of the
marriage contract, when it was agreed that
the dowry should be paid down on the we'd
ding day, or soon after. On this occasion,
there was commonly feast at the conclusion
Of which, the man gave to the woman ring
as pledge, which she put on the foEh fin
ger Of her left hand, because it was believed
that nerve reached to the heart, and day
was then fixed for the marriage.

A SEAsONABLE RECIPE.

The following from the Germantown Tele-
graph. may be of value:
Rendering Laid.-One of the best House
keepers in the county of Philadelphia, has
communicated to US the following recipe for
rendering lard, which was obtained from
Charleston, aud which possesses many ,mpor-
tapt advantages over the common mode. 1t is
simply to put in the kettle before the lard
say three pints of ley made Of hickory ashes,
to common barrel kettle, Generally hold
ing less than barely.
The advantages Of this are, that the lard
renders easier, becomes much whittier, is
sweeter, and will keep longer. This method
has been pursued for several years, with the
highest satisfaction.

While one set Of the Democratic organs Of
this State tsays thu Richmond Whig) are
crying peace and treating the indicatious to
the contrary as but the ebullitions Of con-
temptible demonstrating to keep their
courage up-we are occasionally furnished
with unnistakable signs Of alarm from others
within the ranks of the faithful organ grind
ers. All combine, to give indubitable proof
that ssthe political horizon BODIES trouble" as
enc ofour Democratic contemporaries remarks
One set makes honest confessions Of terrible
misgvings. We trust they may not fail to
realize all the comforting effects attributed to
such confessions. The ether gives the same
proof, but in different way. The nearer
the storm approaches the more they endeavor
to screw their courage up, under the belief
that there will not be much of storm after
all. We admire their spunk, but it won't do.
The danger must be met, and that right soon.
The present occupant Of the White House has
gotten the party, from one end of the Union
to the other, into an awkward fix, by series
of "nost unfortunate blunders." AS spe-
cimen Of the honest confessions made by sun
dry of our Democratic contemporaries, we
make the following extract form an article in
the Alexandra Sentinel, under the head of
"What of the Nighty' sa
'sThe political horizon bodies trouble. The
New York Hards arc organizing for the de-
fence of their position and the furtherance Of
their views. They held great meeting in
New York on Wednesday evening for that
purpose. Com. Stockton, amo ng others, ad-
dressed the meeting, and expressed the strong
est sympathy for them and their movement.
1t is said that he is backed in this by the De-
mocracy Of his State. Senator Weller of
California, also addressed them letter to
the same effect. The names Of others high
in position, are on the authority of rumor, also
called in the same connection. The difficult
ty in Georgia is ominous of evil there
Meantime the Washington Union, which had
suspended its remarks upon New York mat
tiers, has returned to the assault, either with
a wisdom and foresight and knowledge ofevents
which we do not appreciate Or possess, or with
the infatuation of rage and folly. Wetlook
with extreme anxiety for developments. We
cannot now undertake to pass judgement, be-
cause we cannot yet penetrate DISCUSSES or
understand motives. We shall be prepared
for our duty when issues are clearly presented.

Autumn Tran.plantins Of Fruit Trees.

Hovey's Magazine gives the following rea-
sons why autumn transplanting is preferable
to that of spring on all soils in good con6i-
ton for the growth OF fruit trees and they
should be planted 10 no other:
Autumn planting is better than spring for
tie following reasons:
l. The time is longer than spring.
2. The ground is in better condition.
g. The trees are in the most dormant state
4 The roots. where cue, heal better, and
are prepared to send out fresh ones even be-
fore the frost is out of the ground.
5. The winter and spring rains settle the
earth around the roots.
6. The trees are well established before
warm weather overtakes them.
