The Boy of the Times.

We like an active boy-one who has the
impulse Of the age-of the steamboat in
aim.
A lazy, plodding, snail.paccd chap, might
have got along in the world fifty years ago,
but he don't do for these times. We live IN
an age Of quick ideas, Men think quick,
eat, sleep, court, marry and die quick-and
slow coaches are not tolerated. "Go ahead,
fyou burst your boiler :" is the motto Of
every one-and he succeeds tho best in every
line of business who has the most Of :" do or
die in him.
Strive, boys, to catch the spirit Of tho
times be up and dressed always, not cape
ing and rubbing your eyes as IL you were
half aslecp-but be wide awake for what.
ever may turn up, and you will DO some
body before you die.
Think, plan, reflect as much as you please
before you act, but think quickly, closely,
and when you have fixed your eye upon an
object, spring for the mark at once.
But above all things be honest. II you
intend to be an artist, carve in tho wood,
chisel ii in the marble-if merchant,
write it in your ledger. Let honesty DO
your guiding star.

Save Your Plums Now.

We begin to think this can be done. We
were yesterday on the grounds Of one Of oui
best horticulturisss, and saw the application,
and have some faith in it success. Our
friend thinks thsre Is no chance for mistake
about its efficacy. He informed US that he
applied it last year, af.er the curculio had
begun its ravages, and that il no, only saved
those which were unstung, but many OF the
plums on which ,he insect had leh his card,
healed up and ripened we'll. The liquid en-
ten the opened wound and destroys the egg.
This is the only remedy he has evor found 10
avail asains. shis slippery enemy Of one Of
our best fruits. His recipe is-0ns peck Of
unslacked lime, six pounds Of salt, one bar
rel Of water.
The mixture is to be applied with COM
mon garden syringe. If one application is
not sufficient, repeat it. A single applica-
ton answered with him last year.
No time is to be lost, ~ the young plums
are already set, and the enemy has begun 10
show himself. If a syringe Is not 10 be had,
sprinkle on the liquid in some other vay.-
The mixture is cheap and easily applied. and
every man who has plum tree should Try
1t. This is the most philosophical remedy
we have yet seen suggested, and We commend
It, with more confidence than most new
things, to the notice Of fruit growers. If
1t answers our expectations, IL will be worth
millions to the country.-Am1'eaa Agri-

The Western Christian Advocate records
the following interesting anecdotc of Gen.
cral jackson. The s,ene Of 1t was In the
Tennessee Annual Conference, held ut Nash,
vile. less than q year before the hero's death.
and to which he had been invited by voto
of tho members, that they might have the
pleasure of an introduction to HIM -
The Committee was appointed, and tho
General fixed the time for 0 o'clock on Mon.
day morning. Tho Conference room being
too small to accommodate the hundreds who
wished to witness the introduction, one OF
the churches was substituted, and an hour
before the time, filled to overaowing. Front
seats were reserved for the members Of tho
Conference, which was called to order by
the Bishop, seated in q large chair in the
altar just before the pulpit. After prayers
the committee retired, and in minute after
entered, conducting the man whom oil de.
lighted to honor. They led him to the Bish.
OPS chair which was made vacant for him,
he, meanwhile, occupying another place
within the altar. The Secretary was direct.
ed TO call the names Of the members OF tho
Conference, which he did in alphabetical
order, each coming forward and receiving
from the Bishop personal introduction to
the ex.President, and Immediately retiring
to give place to tho next. The ceremony
had nearly been completed, when the Sec
retary read the name Of Rev. James T,
an elderly gentleman with o weather-be"ten
face, clad in suit Of jeans, arose and came
forward. Few seemed to know him. lie
had always been on the circuit, on the from
tier; and though always at Conference, he
never troubled It with long speeches, but
kept his seat, md said but little- but that
little, however, was always to the pur.
pose. Mr.. T. came forward and was intro
duced to General jackson. lie turned his
head towards the General, who said, Ii

Shoe-and fought under your command A.
New Orleans" The General arose slowly
from his seat, and throwing his long, with.
cred, bony arms around the preachers neck,
exclaimed, Wen soon meet where there .
no war-whcre the smoke Of battle never
rolls up its sulphurous incense! Never
before or since, have seen so many tears
shed, Us then flowed forth from the eyes Of
that vas, assembly. Every eye was moist
with weeping. Eleven years have passed
away since that day. The hero has been
more than ten in his silent home. The voice
that cheered the trooping fight, and thun-
dcred in the rear of routed armies, is silent
forever. The old preacher, too, has fought
his last battle, laid his armour by, and gone
home to his eternal rest.

Light Springing up.

Every body knows, at least by reputa-
tion, who Long John Wentworth is, and
that he is the proprietor and editor of the
Chicago Democrat. In his paper OF April

WORTHY for the last twenty years has sup

ciplcs now, which he deems primary, seem
to have become secondary 10 tho schemes oi

IL would take the democratic party not
fifteen minutes to settle the whole slavery
difficulty, and restore the party to its orig

sion, with her constitution. in accordance
with the United States contribution. She
has elected her two senators and represcn.
tative, who are ready to take their scits
and to act with the democratic party the
moment they are sworn in. lfbut the free
State senators, alone, would vote for the
admission Of Kansas, in fifteen minutes she
would b, in the Union, and the whole slave

settle the slavery controversy, such agita-
tors as Douglas & Co. would lose their vo-

admit Kansas, that Douglas and his parry

The Young Mans Leisure.

Young Man after the duties Of the day
are over, how do you spend your evenings
When business is dull, and leaves ut your
disposal many unoccupied hours, what dis
position do you make Of them? have
known and now know, many young men,
who, il they devoted to any scientific, or
literary, or professional pursuits, the time
they spend in games Of chance, and loung-
ing in bed, might rise to any cminencc.-
You have all read Of the sexton's son, who
became fine astronomer by spending a short
time every evening in gazing at the stars
after ringing the bell for nine o'clock. Sir
William Phipps, who at the age of forty
Eve had attained the order Of knighthood,
and the Office Of High Sheriff of New Eng
land, and Governor Of Massachusetts,, learn.
ed to read and writc after his eighteenth
year, of u ship carpenter in Boston. Will
liam Clifford, the great editor Of the Quar-
terly, was an apprentice to shoemaker,
and spent his leisure hours in study. And
because he had neither pen nor paper, slate
nor pencil, he wrought out his problems on
smooth leather with blunt awl.
David Rittenhouse, the American Astron-
omcr, when plow-boy, was observed to
have covered his plow and fences with fig
ures and calculations. James Ferguson,
the great Scotch Astronomer, learned to
read by himself, and mastered the elements
of astronomy whilea shepherds boy in the
fields by night. And perhaps, it is not too
much to say, that If the hours wasted in
idle company, in vain conversation at the
tavern, were only spent in the pursuit Of
useful knowledge, the dullest apprantice IN
any of our shops might become an intelli-
gent member of society, and fit person for
most of our civil Offices. BY, such course,
the rough covering of manya youth is laid
aside and their ideas, instead of being con-
fined to local subjects and technicalitics,
might range the wide fields Of creation and
other stars from among the young men OF
this city might be added to the list of worth
les that are gliding our country with bright
yet mellow light.-Rer. Dr.. Murray.

Hay Caps.

DR.. Trantlin's maxim, that go penny
saved was two pence earned" is one which
frequently applies with good deal of per-
tinency 70 the business Of the farmer. 1t
is often, indeed, the case that by neglect, he
loss more in hour than he can earn in q
day, or more in week than he can return
by the most eIhausting labor to his treas
ury in month. This Is particularly true
in "haying time" when he is required to be
perpetually on the alert, and to watch his
"hands" in the moving grounds, with one
eye, while with other he marks the aspect
Of the heavens and the direction Of the
clouds. Showers. however, often come un-
eIpeetedly, Occasioning serious loss, because
he has no means Of protecting the hay eI-
posed in his fields from their injurious Of.
fecs. In Catching weather" almost every
farmer feels sensibly the want Of some meth
cd Of protection to obyiate these unpleasant
consequences, and we are happy to say that
modern ingenuity has at last supplied the
desidentum in the durable, efficient and
economical hay cap. This Is made by d.
yidins webs of sheeting, Zone yard widc,)
into strips Of two yards in length, and sew.
ing two Of these strips together. The edges
should be "hemmed," the corners turned
down one inch, and turned again, and fas.
tened by firmly sewing the whole in order
to form fastening through which looI
may be made for the attachment Of strong
twine. When the cap is thrown over tn,
hay-cock, long pin is inserted in this, anC
thrust little upward into the hay to pre-
vent the hay being blown Of, aud keep II il
its place. Good sheeting that csts from
nine to ten cents q yard, will make excellen
protectors, and, with proper care, will las
a lifetime. For grain, when large stack

Directions for Preserving Fruit.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS VoR PRESERVING. Per
haps at the present season few genera
hints on preserving, for the use Of younI
housewife, may not be unacceptable. Sew
cral Of the directions may appear needless
but there may be some inexperienced per
sons to whom they may be beneficial.
l. Let everything used for the purpos'
be clean and dry; especially bottles.
9. Never place preserving pan fai or
the fire, as this will render the preserve Lin
bic to barn 10, as it is called; that Is say, tC
adhere closely to the metal, and then 70 burn
it should always rest on trevet, or on the
lower bar Of the kitchen range.
3. Aiter the sugar is added to them,
stir the preserves gently at first, and more
quickly towards the end, without quitting
them until they are done; this precautiou
viii prevent their being spoiled.
4. AL preserves should be perfectly clear
from the scum rs il rises.
S. Fruit which is to be preserved in syr-
up must first DO blanched or boiled gently
until, ii is sufficiently softened to absorb the
sugar; and thin syrup must be poured on
il at FIRST or il will shrivel instead Of remain
inS plump and becoming clear. Thus, II
its weight of sugar is to be allowed, and
boiled 10 syrup, with pint Of water to
the pound, only half the weight must be
taken at first, and this must not be boiled
with the water more than fifteen or twenty
minutes ut the commencement Of the pro-
ccss. A part Of the remaining sugar mus.
be added every time the syrup is reboiled,
unless il should be otherwise directed in the
receipt.
o. To preserve both the true flavor and
the color of fruit in jams and jellics, boil
them rapidly until they are well reduced,
Hefors the sugar is added, and quickly after
wards; but do not allow them to become SO
much thickened that the sugar will not dis
solve in them easily and throw up its scum.
In some seasons the juice is so much richer
than in Others that this effect takes place al.
most before one is aware of il but the DROP
which adheres 10 the Skinner, when it II
held up, will show the state il has reached.
:. Never use tin, iron, or pewter spoons
or skimmers for preserves. as they will con
vert the color Of red fruit into dingy pur'
pie, and impart, besides, a very unpleasan,
flavor.
8. When cheap jams or jellies are re.
quired make them ut once with loaf sugar
but use that which is ,ssH refined always fol
preserves in general. 1t Is q false economy
to purchase an inferior kind Us, there il
great waste from it in the quantity Of scum
which it throws up -GOdey's Lady's Book

Its appearance above ground. Take one
par. common salt and three parts plaster or
gypsum. and apply about full tablespoon
fal around each hill, and il will be found to
be sure protection. The mixture should
not come in contact with the sprouts, Us 1t
may destroy them. This method has been
tried over and over again by some of the
best farmers Of Pennsylvania, Deleware and
Jersey, and when properly applied, has nev-
er failed to be perfectly successful. We
hope our farmers, who have reason to fear
the depredatiOns of the grub this season,
will Try this mixture, leavings few alternate
rows of corn without the salt, and commun-
icite to US the result.-GermaniOwa Tsle-
