CUTTING TIMBER.

BURTON, April 10 1854.
FRIEND BRowN:-I have read the articles in
your paper, upon the proper time to cut timber,
and the conclusions of the different persons do
not seem to agree. think from the experience
which have had, that cutting timber at differ
ent times has different effects upon its capabii-
ty to stand the weather. Every one knows that
the sap-wood, which is from six to twenty-six
rings outside the heart-wood, makes the most du-
rable timber. Itshould always be cut in the
latter part of February and August, as at that
time it will neither rot, or be worm eaten. In
August the inside bark and timber for axe.helyes
can be cut, and red black ash for splinters, as
the tim Der will settle down and be more solid
than any other time in the year. Many cut
their timber when it is most convenient, and it
occasions great loss to them, as their fences rot
soon grub.eaten, but if cut in August, viii last
for years. 1t is the same with bass and lin-wood.
In Connecticut where timber is very cotsly they
fell it in February and let it lie until it is to be
used. There they use the most rigid economy
with their timber. White ash cut in June is
hard and CLASSY, but any other wood is very
higt. When it is required TO do away with the
stumps, the timber had best be cut in June, for
beach and maple rot the same year, and white
oak will rot on account of the sap,
Ship timber is often cut in this season and
i Il. i
er be cut in May or June. Chestnut cut in June
does very well for fires as it will not crack, but it
makes very poor fence timber as it soon wears
out Bush timber can be kept clear, if cut in
August. 1t is best to trim fruit trees in blossom
as they heal over very quick. Many cut off too
much in pruning. JOEL I. MERRIAM.
l have seen several accounts of large crops of
patatoes raised by different persons. As
raised a very good crop las: year, will give
the mode of cultivating. As it was turf ground
plowed it once and then narrowed it well. l
took shovel plow and marked it three feet
The marks were three inches deep. 1 put the
potatoes which were next to the largest and
planted them three feet apart. With each pota-
to placed tablespoonful of plaster paris, and
covered them up with .hree inches of dirt, and
then plowed them with shovel-plow and hoed
dug from half an acre and nine rods, two hun
dred and seventy bushels of potatoes. The soil
was red loan. think it is better to plant
whole potatoes than cut ones, as cut ones are
apt to be small, especially in dry seasons.
Will some one else give the manner of tilling.

WeedS--WeedS,

We often observe, in passing through the
country, the pastures of poor farmers crowded
with armieS-not of Turks and RusSians-but
of mulleins, horse-thistles, and other invaders,
which not only devour the strength of the land
and pay nothing in return, but continually say,
like impertinent tell-tales,to every passing trav-
eler, in the language of a celebrated writer,
"Behold the field of the slothful, and field of
the man void of understanding For 10, it is
all grown over with burdocks, and JohnSwort
has covered the face thereof"
We take it for granted that no reader of this
journal ever voluntarily allows weeds to grow
on his premises, but some, however, obtain
stealthy possession-and if some of our good
friends of this class would go over their grounds
make a careful observation, and estimate the
amount of vegetable growth thus feeding on
the strength of their soil, which might as well
be wheat, corn, and ruta-bagas, they would GER
tainly be surprised at the amount 1t would be
a curious question in philosophy, why so many
will thus allow yearly waste from weeds of
some fifty or hundred dollars, with all qui-
etness an submimission, who would be ready in
a moment to bring an action at law against a
neighbor whose cattle and swine should devour
a fifth part of that quantity.
If we cond only have all the value of the
riches of the country at large thus wasted,
placed in our hands for endowing agricultu-
raj schools, there would be no necessity whatev-
er of applying to national and state legisla-
lures for help.
Now is the very point of time for thinking this
matter over, with determination to act eff
ciently in the premises; and if any one is too
busy or "drore' to attend to it, he has certain
" either undertaken the care of too much land,
or else in pursuing system which may emphat-
ically be compared to Saving at the tap and
wasting at the bung." No one is ever too busy
to turn his neighbors cattle out of his cornfield
and he ought to pursue the same system to-
wards other intruders. We have known farms
to be affected in market value from five and
ten dollars per acre, by being kept neat and
clean in one instance, and foul, weedy, and
repulsive, in the other Country Gentleman.

The Bliss of Marriage.

Time whirls us along the downhill path of
life with the velocity of locomotive; but we
have one comfort-"we can make love on the
road What the negro preacher said of Sa-
tan, may be said of love: "Where he finds a
weaker place, dere he creeps in." There is a
warm corner even in the coolest besrt and
somebody, if that somebody can only be found,
was made expressly to fill it. Thousands of
both sexes live and die unmarried, simply for
want of u proper introduction to one q. .Iother.-
What an absurdityi There is not a woman or
a man of any age who might not find suitable
partner by using proper means The fact is,
that affection is smothered, choked down, SUBJ
dued and paralized by the forms and conven-
tionalitieS of this 'etiquetish'' world. Society
attaches ball and chain to the natural feel
ings of the heart. The fair girl, with her bos-
ON running over with the purest love for a
worthy object, must take as much pains to con-
ceal the fact, as If it were deadly sin, and
heaven had not Commanded us" to love one
another. Is this "natural?' No it is "artif-
cial."
Why should innumerable marriages be pre-.
vented by chilling rules and penalties? Nature
is modest, but she is not starched up prude!
Look at the birds. There are no old maids
dHlouS IHenl' 1HeH HedItS Iual HuIJer uuuer
their jackets follow the instinct of love, and
they take to billing and cooning without the
slightest idea that courtShip should be formal
affair. Why should there be forlorn old bache-
lors and disappointed old maids and lonely
widows and widowers, among the unfeathered
any more than the feathered bipeds? Oceans
of happiness are lost to both sexes every year,
because parties who wish to be married are not
permitted by etiquette to make the fact known.
These unfortunates might very properly say to
the happy married folk, as the frogs said to the
boys who we're pelting them with stones-"T "This
may be fun to you, but tbs death to u.s. Mer.

Nebraska Bill.

The Nebaska Kansas Bill passed the Senate
| by large majority in the shape it came from
the House, that is without>the Clayton amend
ment. 1t has probably before this time receiv-
ed the Executive sanction. We stated last
week that the South gained nothing in a prac-
teal point of view by the bill. We are happy
to see that we are sustained in this view by
many of the leading journals of the South, both
Wing and Democratic. The feelings that pos
sess us at present respecting the disposition of
this qustion is one of Indifference. The South
has gained an abstraction, it is true. So far as
the Missouri Compromise is concerned, we
have always believed it unconstitutional, and
we believe the courts would have so declared,
had it ever come up for adjudication. We have
uniformly expressed this view. The weight Of
authority in the nation sustains that position
But what does the acknowledgement of the alb
stract question Of Congressional non-interventior
amount to, when it is certain that no good can
grow out of it? The doctrine of popular SOW
ereignty" sounds well to the ear; but is "sov-
ereignty," we fear, that will be realised by the
North and only dreamed of in an Utopian way,
by the South. Slavery can never go to Nebras-
ka or Kansas, so long as foreigners are
are allowed TO vote and hold Offices; for they
all to man opposed to African Slavery,
and they will do all they can to exclude it
from territories where they will have the sway.
As regards the Utah and New Mexico terrific
ries, the necessity Of the principle of the Clay
ton proviso was not so great as in the case of
Nebraska and Kansas. The typographical po-
sition of the former would rather invite the i'm
migration of American citizens who will doubt
less have the controlling influence in the terri
tories;and there is more probability of slavery
going to New Mexico and Utah, than to Ne.
braska or Kansas, although the last is in q lat
itude eminenty adopted to slave labor.
So far as the effect of the passage of the Ne
braska Bill is concerned, we are free to con-
fess, that so far from quieting agitation in the
North, we believe it will be one of the surest
means of keeping up agitation; and we further
more believe that the recent popular outbreak,
riot, and bloodshed in Boston, are the first le-
gitimate fruits of the P assage of the Nebraska
Bill. We must look things in the face as we
find them Asheville Spectator.

While yTis Daytime Let Us Work.

Every mortal has his mission,
In this world of active strife,
Whether in nigh position,
Or a lowly walk Of life.
He it is, who now fulfilling
Every duty day by day,
Shows the mind and spirit willing
To perform its onward way.
Life's bark upon the ocean,
Toss'd and rock'd by every gale,
Now sends on with easy motion.
Now with reut and tatter'd sail.
Life's bright and sunny morning,
With some light refreshing shower,
Follow'd by dark cloudy warning
Of the storm that DER us lowers.
Life's the cord of silver binding
Man in contact with his kind;
Death is but the band unwinding,
Setting free the earth-bound mind.
Life's the pitcher Of the fountain
Whence imlaortal rills descend;
'Tis fragile wheel surmounting
Cisterns where pure waters blend.
Life's the day for deed and action,
Deaths the rest, the time of night;
He who works with satisfaction,
Works while yet the hour is light.
Forward, then! the day is waning
Westward sinks the setting SUP;
Onward!-on without COMPLAINING
Work while yet it may be done.

THE CURRY-COMB.

The free use of the curry-comb is equal to
many quart of oats in the course Of the winter
but it should bo used judiciOusly. Having tied
the horse up pretty close, take hold of the left
cheek of the halter in your left hand and curry
him along his neck to the shoulders, and so go
all over his body to the buttocks, down to his
hocks-then change your hands and curry him
before on his breast, and laying youl right arm
over his back, join your right side to his left
and curry him all under his belly to the chest,
and so all over very well, from the knees and
shoulders upwards. This side completed, go to
the offside, and do that in like manner reversing
the positions. Then with a cotton cloth, dust
off all the dirt raised by the curry-comb. The
brush is next to be used, beginning at the head
and going down to tha fetlocks, (which should
be washed if dirty,l keeping the brush clean
with the curry-comb. Lastly take another cloth,
and rub him down until his coat looks smooth
and bright.
This system of horse cleaning can be easily
learned, and the improved appearance of the
horse will prove its excellence. Cleanliness, in
man or beast, is allimporta Mt.

The Engineers, who have for some weeks
been engaged in making the survey from the
n. Carolina Line, to point on the Z. T. & Va.
R. R. near this place, completed their opera
tions on Saturday. We hear from them q most
gratifying account of the feasibility and compar-
ative cheapness of this Road, and we cannot
but be Sansaiine as to the success which must
crown the efforts of its friends. We learn that
this Road may be made at a medium average
cost, with maximum grades and curvature not
exceeding those used on the E. T. & Va. Road
We also learn from Mr. Owen that he had an
opportunity of meeting the N. Carolina Corps
of Engineers, who were about completing their
survey, and of examining their maps, profles
&C., which show light work, and route more
favorable than any one acquainted with the
country would have deemed possible; nor was
it fopnd necessary even in descending the
Blue Ridge, to adopt maximum grade as steep
as those used on our Roads.
We earnestly hope that our citizens will place
their shoulders to the wheel of this important
work, and spread still farther the growing repu-
tation of E. Tennessee for her public spirit in
all matters Of internal improvement. We hear
that the people of Carter and Johnson are suffi-
ciently alive to their own interests and those
of the State at large to be willing to strain ev-
cry nerve to secure a Road, which will be to
them in every respect an incalculable advan-
tage.

The Bible.
By REV. P. s. GAssADY.


"What is the world a wildering maze,
Where sin has tracked ten thousand ways,
Her victims to ensnare;
All broad, and winding, and aslope;
All tempting with perfdiOus hope,
All ending in despair,
Millions of pilgrims throng these roads,
Bearing their baubles or their loads,
Down to eternal night.
One only path that never bends,
Narrow and rough, and steep ascends
From darkness into light
Is there no guide to show that pathf
The Bible /? He alone who hath
The Bible, need not stray;
But he who hath and will not give,
That light of life to all that live,
Himself shall lose the way?"
What precious volume is the Bible? What
a rich legacy to the worlds Creator. Sparkling
in the rays of its own divinity, and glowing in
the infinite love of Heaven to man, how simple
and yet sublime are its heavenly truths, how pure
and puryiug are its blessed doctrines, and how
elevating, cheering are its disclosures of the Dig
nifty of our present being and the grandeur of our
future destiny. Without its hallowed light sun.
ming our darkened pathway, human life would
be but labarynth of mystery, dark and cheer
less; and human destiny, wrapped in still pro-
founder gloom and darkness, would be but the
uncertain thing of painful conjecture. But with
the Bible all is clear-elear as the sunlight of
heaven. Upon its every page we read our
original primeval putty, the introduction of sin
into the world the forfeiture of the Divine favor,
the plan of redemption by Christ, the duty ofre-
pcntance the nature of faith, the necessity of re,
generation, the free agency of map day of e.
nal retribution, and the changeless destiny of
all men in eternity.
"The Bible-hast thou ever heard
Of such book? the author, God HIMSELF
The subject, God and man; salvation life,
And death-eternal life, eternal death

By which the bark Of man could navigate
The sea oflife, and gain the coast of bliss

As generation drifting swiftly by
