AHeroine

IrUm a Sansrfan-
cisco letter will explain, more fully the ac-
count already published, the devotion which
Mrs. Patton, the captains wife displayed
towards her husband, and. the interests of
the owners, in navigating a vessel under
the most extraordinary circumstances
The writer says the ship Neptune's Car
arrived on the 10Th of December. Fifty
days ago Captain Patton was attacked with
the brain fever, and for the last twenty
five days has been blind. Previous to his
iIlress he had put the first mate off duty
on account Of his incompetency. After
the captains illness, the second. mate took
charge of the ship, but as he did not IN
derstand navigation, the captains wife
worked up the reckoning every day, and
brought the ship safe into port. The first
mate wrote Mrs. Patton a letter reminding
her OF the dangers of the coast, and the
great responsibility she had assumed, and
offered to take charge of the ship; but
she stood by the decision of her husband
and declined his offer. During all this
time she acted as nurse to the captain. She
studied medicine to learn how to treat his
case, and shaved his head, and by constant
care and W%atchfulness kept him alive
She said that for fifty nights she had no;
undlessed herself. Few women could have
done SO much and Gone SO well. She wa:
at once navigator, nurse, physician and pro
tector OF the property entrusted to her hus.
band. The matter has excited a coed dea
OF interest here, and independent Of otheI
considerations, all are anxious for her sake
that the captain should recover.

EP We frequently receive articles, and
especially Poetic illusions, accompanied with
a request to publish " as q personal favor,
to the writers. Now this is hardly right !:
tor II a piece possesses sufficient literary
merit, 1t is sure to find a place and if il
does not, the writer ought to thank the Edi-
tor for not exposing it to public criticism /:
instead OF embarrassing him by appeals to
his pafs onal friendship. 1t gives us pleas.
ure to gratifyeonr readers in all reasonable
re4hests,and we have sacrificed much Of taste
and Judgement by inserting articles below
the ll'erary standard, because we desired to
encourage the efforts Of those aspiring to COM
muRcate with the publie-especially the
young. We viii still do SO as much as we
can afford but pray do not lay an embargo
on oar kindly feelings. Send on ycur arti-
cies:+f they are worthy they will be pub,
llshed:-if they are not, be sure thew are
Withheld as an act of kindness to the writer's.

PASTRIES.

Our observations incline Us more and more
to the belief that permanent pastures are the
true policy. This Of course will depend
much on the nature and use Of farm. The
grain farmer, whose land IS all suitable for
The cereals, would hardly like the idea Of
setting apart large portions for permanent
pasturage; and the farmer on broken land
can do no otherwise if he would. In re-
cent trip through the eastern counties of
this State We have been highly gratifed with
the almost universal thrift Of the farmers,
and have witnessed the most striking proofs
of the benefit Of the plaster on old pastures.
Thousands OF the farmers in these high,
mountain regions are using il, and the
quantities Of milk, butter aud beef coming
down the Harlem road, show with what
effect while the style in which these far
mcrs live shows that good deal Of money
goes up the same route. II is said that
plaster does not suit all land. We would
not recommend large and indiscriminaie
outlay for plaster By those who have never
tried nor seen il tried near them; but we
do say that the farmer who has extensive
pasture lands, who goes on from year %
year without informing himself BY actual
trial, whether fifty cents worth Of plaster
10 the acre would double the feed, is moi
true 10 himself. Wood ashes al twenty-five
cents bushel. or anything less, are q good
investment for most pastures and We doubt
whether there. are many pastures on which
il would not be good policy 10 put one hun.
dred pounds Of plaster annually, Al sl0 tht
ton, though We believe that in many regions
II can be had for less than halt that price
The good effects do not alwsys come out III,
first year. Those who make the experiment
should continue ii two or three wears d
