TINE TO HE THIS TRUTH HAS
TAUGHT,

Time TO me this truth has taught,
Clis a truth that's worth rcveaIing),
More offend from want Of thought
Than any want of feeling
If advice we would convey
There's time we should convey it,
If we've but a word to say,
There's time in which to say it.
Oft unknowingly the tongue
Touches on a cord so aching,
That word or accent wrong,
Pains the heart almost to breaking
Many tear OF wounded pride,
Many fault Of human blindness,
Has been soothcd or turned aside
BY quiet voice Of kindness.
Many a bcautious flower decays,
Though we tend it e'er so much
Something secret in it preys,
Which no human aid can touch.
So, in many lovely breast
Lies some cankcr-gref concealed,
That if touched is more opprest--
Left unto itself is healed

NapOlean's Private Life.

In an old volume of Baron Mcncvars
Souvenirs Of Napoleon published ma
ny years ago, we find the following
pleasant and interesting picture oFthc
domestic life Of the Emperor and his
consort, Marie Louisa, after the birth
of their unfortunate son, the Duke Of
Rcichstadt:
The Emperor appeared happy. lie
was aflable in his family, and alice
Tomato to the Empress. If he found
her looking serious, he amused her
with lively talk, and disconnected her
gravity by hearty embrace; but in
public he treated her with great re-
spcct, and Il dignity not inconsistent
with polished familiarity.
The Emperor wished her to learn to
ride on horseback. Her first lessons
were taken in the riding school at st.
Cloud. lie walked by her side, hold
ing her by the hand, while the groom
held the bride Of her horse; he thus
Gained her fears and encouraged her.
When her skill did honor to her teach
er, the lessons were continued in pri-
vatc alley Of the park. The Emperor,
when he had u moments leisure after
breakfast, ordered the horses, mount
ed himself, in his silk stockings and
shoes, and cantcrcd by the Empress
side. lie urged her horse and made
him gallop, laughing heartily at her
cries, but taking care that there should
be no danger, by having servants sta
toned all along the path, ready to
stop the horse and prevent a fall.
Meanwhile the King of Rome grew
in strength and beauty, under the
watchful eye of Madame de Monies
quiou who loved him as her own child
He was carried every morning to his
mother, who kept him till it was time
to dress. During the day in the inter
walls between her music and drawing
she went to see him in his apartment,
and sat by him at her needlcwork.-
Sometimes followed by the nurse who
carried the child, she took him to his
father while he was busy. The entry
to his cabinet was interdicted to ev-
erybody, and the nurse could not get
in. The Emperor used TO ask Louisa
to bring in the child herself, but she
seemed so much afraid of her own
awkwardness in taking him from the
nurse, that the Emperor FASTENED to
take him from her, and carried him Off
covering him with kisses. That cab.
met, which saw the origin of so many
mighty plans, SO many vast and gen
erous schemes of administration, was
also witness to the effusion ola fathers
tenderness. How often have | seen
the Emperor keeping his son by him
as ifimpatient to teach him the art Of
governing! Whether seated by the
! chimney on his favorite sofa, he was

Sweet Potatoes.

Mr.. EDITOR: From your pen, and
your numerous correspondents, | have
read with much pleasure and ben
eft a great many valuable articles on
all the various branches Of Southern
agriculture: and for which, | do not
know any better returns to offer you,
and your correspondents at present,
than my little experience on the cul-
turc Of sweet potatoes.
In the preparation Of my potato
grounds, | break it up very shallow,
and particularly so, if the land is OF a
poor thin soil, and make the beds or
lists by tapping two burrows togcth-
or with turn ploWs; three feet dis
lance. My reasons for breaking up
my land shallow and giving but three
feet TO the row is, TO have at the close
ofthe cultivation Il small round high
ridge or list resting ON II firm, unbrok-
en- basis, 50 that the roots Of the pota-
to may not grow deep in the ground,
but TO grow near The surface Of the top
sides Of the list. so that when the roots
begin to grow, the earth may crack
open either on the top or sides, thereby
giving the roots room TO expand. By
this mode of culture, | have smooth
round potatoes. But when break up
my lands deep and lay off rows four
feet, the roots are mostly long and
stringy, or low down in the earth,
where they are often cut or bruised
with the plow or hoe, at the gathering
in Of the crop. Very often the best
part OF my potato crop is planted in
June or July, on old pasture or stub
bic lands. Lay of the rows three feet
distance, rake up The grass or stub
bic with hoes, then double two fur
rows on it, with turn plows: then
plow out the middle with shovcls, but
never break the base or bottom of
the bed or list. The latter prcpara-
ton does best, think, with the draws
or cuttings from the vine. the latter |
prefer, in bits of eight inches long.
The root Of the yam potato does
very well planted, if cut into small
bits, much like we do the Irish potato.
The roots Of the potato for planting,
should never be taken up or planted
in cold, or windy weather, and as fast
as they are cut into bits, they should
be put into barrel or pool of water
till planted, to insure n good early
stand. Draws or cuttings from the
vine, should be done likcwse.-SOH Of

engaged in reading an important doc
ument, or whether he went to his bu-
reau to sign despatch, every word
of which required to be weighed, his
son, on his knee, or pressed to his
breast, was never q moment away
from him. Sometimes throwing aside
the thoughts which occupied his mind,
he would lie down on the floor beside
this beloved son, playing with him like
another child, attentive to everything
that could please or amusc him.
The Emperor had a sort Of apparatus
for trying military manGuvres; it con-
sisted Of pieces Of wood fashioned to
represent battalions, regiments and
divisions. When he wanted to try
some new revolution, he used to ar
range these pieces on the carpet
While he was seriously occupied with
the disposition of them, working out
some skilltul manGuvre which mi ght
ensure the success of battle, the
child, lying at his side, would overthrow
his troops, and put into confusion his
order Of battle, perhaps at the most
critical moment. But the Emperor
would re-commence arranging his
men with the utmost good humor.
The Emperor breakfasted Alone
Madame de Montesquiou every NOR
ming took the boy to his fathers break
fast table. He took him on his knee,
and amused himself with giving him
morscls to eat, and putting the glass
to his lips. One day he offered him a
bit of something he had on his plate,
and, when the child put forward his
mouth to take it, drew it back. He
wished to continue this game, but, at
the second trial, the childturncd awaw
his head, his father then offered him
the morscl in earnest, but the boy OBJ
stinately refused it. As the Emperor
looked surprised, Madame de Monies
quiou said that the child did not like
to be deceived; he had pride, she said,
and feeling.
"Pride and feeling" Napoleon re-
pcatod, that is wcll-that is what |
like"
And, delighted to find these quail
ties in his son, he fOndIy kissed him.

To the American Party of
FRANKLIN COUNTY.

At the solicitation of a number of
the friends Of Native Americanism,
the proprietors fthe Winchester APP
peal have undertaken the publication
ola paper friendly to these principles,
and at a considerable risk to them
selves-having freighted all theirhopes
and small means upon the chance of a
liberal support, and the expectation of
a patronage that would enable them
to make a paper worthy of Success
There are more than four hundred vo.
tiers in Franklin county in favor Of Ma
tive Americanism, and there are many
Of this number who do not patronize
this paper. 1t is to this county, par
ticularIy, that the pr oprietors look for
encouragement, and by very small
outlay, that would not be felt by the
people, this paper could be placed
upon a permanent basis, and take
position of equality, at least, with the
better half of the political journals of
the State.
An exciting and important contest
is coming on, and this paper cannot be
made useful to any great extent I'M
less an interest is taken to make it so,
by those who feel, or ought to feel, in
terested in the success of their cherish
ed principles.
The friends of the American party
owe duty to themselves to make an
effort to have their paper sustained by
a respectable subscription. There are
many who willingly send off to the
North the subscription price ofthc APP.

Iictions that are not worth the time
spent in reading them 1t is full time
that the South should take the hint, to

own section.
1t is hoped that an effort will be made
to increase our subscription list, in
this county at least. Get up your
clubs and bring Them in, and we pledge
ourselves that the Appeal will i'm

The Union and Ameriodn's presumption
that the Patriot is not responsible for the
substitution of the word "son" in General
Jackson's will for nephew" is correct. We
published it as we found it in our exchanges.
However, if it will read the first two lines,
it will see that it must have been pure mad
vertence, and not wilful misstatement in
the first instance The extract says: Il be-
queath to my wellbeloved son, Andrew j.
Donelson, the son of Samuel Donelson, de-
ceased" No one with sufficient cunning to
concoct Misrepresentation, would do it
so bunglingly as to make an individual the
son of two men-Andrew jackson and
Samuel Donelson. But it matters little
whether Maj. Donelson was son or nephew,
or in any way connected with Gen Jack
son. A solemnly recorded testament OK
presses the Generals opinion of Maj. Don
elson, as "high-minded, honest, and hon
orable man." and if he were living this
day, he would endorse him as worthy OF
the high place which his fellow citizens in,
