Drinks for Harvest.

There is nothing which creates thirst more
than laboring in the sun-and such being
the case, it is the duty of the master to have
a cool and refreshing drink supplied once in
each hour to his hands in the field. A hand
would be well occupied whose time was de.
voted TO this object, and it would be well to
have small hand cart fitted up with five
gallon keg or half barrel, in which should
be drink composed in the proportion of one
gallon of water, half a gallon o! molasses
and one quarter of pound Of ginger. The
whole should be well stirred together, and
served out hourly. This drink we have fre-
quently recommended, because we know it to
be inyigorating. and refreshing and safe, no
matter how cold the water may be. The
cooler the water, the more grateful will it be
to the palate, the more refreshing to the sys-
TEN, the surer of giving tone and strength to

A Jealous Wife of a Masonic
Husband.

An anecdote is related of wife who was
very jealous oi her husband, who was a worthy
member OF the Masons. One evening a
and labelled private" o: course this was
sufficient for female curiosity, and therefore
she INDUCED in inspection. Horror of horrors! I!
Blankets, baby's linen, birds eye, ETC., greet
ed FER astonished eyesght, and dreams of
'two families loated through her brain. The
husband soon came in. and after lea, wheh
his wife discovered in his eye the treachery
of his conduct, as she supposed, he took the
bundle and vert olt-but not alone, the
jealous wife was on his track. The fathless
husband little imagined that she who suppos-
ed herself SO foully wronged was lowering
after him. He stepped Unto the house of
friend. who also joined him, carrying a small
bundle. The vile became doubly excited
for the prospect of having a companion in
misery did Lot impress her with the idea OF
division of her grief, but only an addition to
it. She followed closely, and soon halted
before small tenement which they entered.
Here she paused to meet council of war.
What tactics to follow she was in doubt, but
determining TO storm the citadel, she knock
ed, and hastily brushed by little child, and
in a secoi burst upon the aston:shed husb-
and, the embodiment of innocence. Her
feelings were about to express themselves
when the scene before1her caused her to re-
fleet. A poor woman on sick bed, a babe
rot old enough for christening, child in a
crib, two little girls in bed, met her eye.
She read the story at glance, and returned
home under escort OF her lord and his friend,
who assured her that she had discovered the
great secret OF Masonry. She never arrived
at a false conclusion from appearances again.

Now Martha had opened this letter, as shs

if she did: so Martha, like considerate wo-
man, wrote an answer herself to John Hen
derson (of which she kept copy for me to
see,) setting forth that was in TO state to
be moved with such tidings; that, however,
should have the letter as soon as the doctor
saw fit, and sending her love and sympathy

The WHEAT PRosPEcT.-We have made
inquiry during the past week among farmers
in this country in regard to the deperdations
Of the Fly and Weevl, and we are gratiied to
say that the prospect thus far is fine for
good crop. The copious rain, and cold wea-
ther since the rains commenced, have had the
effect of Keeping back the weevil, and It is
probable ii will get SO far advanced as to re-
sisi the operations of this destructive insect,
by the time We have warner suns and war

of rank fields to lodge; but this cannot be
extensively the case.-Mansfeld Shield.

Gen. Houston and the Battle of San
JacintO.

General Houston, in q recent address, in
relation to the battle of San Jacinto, gave a
version of the history OF his incidents, and
his own connection with them, which has
brought out a host of indignant om,aentators
who not only deny the truth of his narrative,
but accuse him of cowardce and incapacity.
The New Orleans Picayune, of the 27th ult
says:
The first to reply was David r. Burnett,
formerly President of Texas, and by the
mails which arrived yesterday we have two
other addresses--one by Geh. Sidney Sher-
man, and one by Gen. Mirabeau B. Lamar,
also once President OF Texas. These gen.
tlemen were officers during the battle Of San
Jacinto, and they concur with Burnett in de-
claring Gen. HoustOn's nj rrat!ve false through
out, and in affirming that the battle was
fought against the wishes and judgment OF
Houston, who is accused, moreover, of behav-
ing with personal cowardice, as well as show
il g utter incaPacity as general. Gen. Sher-
man says that whenever full narrative OF
the battle is gwen truthfuly to the world,

A BEAUTIFUL CUsToM,-Among the French
settlers in Canada, on the lower st. Lawrence
is very peculiar custom-someth thing like
the golden marriage in Germany:
"Whenever venerable couple have trod
the path OF life together for fifty years, they
summon to a banquet under their roof, from
every quarter of the land, all their children
and grand children, in whose presence is re-
performed the ceremony that made them man
and wife half century before, when the
feasting and the dancing, which continue for
two or three nights together, besPeak most
heartfelt happiness as we'll as gratitude; and
at the expiration of every five years from
that time until separated by death, the aged
pair continue to repeat the ceremony Of
pledging their vows of fidelity and truth"
