WHAT Strawberries SHALLwE PLANT So
much progress has been made in the cultiya-
ton of this delicious fruit, that it would seem
there was little lett to be desired In the way of
new varieties. With the Hovey's Seeding,
Lougworth's Prolific, McAvoy's Superior, and
Walkers Seeding, and dozen others that
we might name, one must be fastidious not to
suit himself. We have had the above varieties
under cultivation for several years, and can re-
commend them as well adapted to the garden
for family supply. They are finding their way
into field culture, for the supply of the market /;
and for those who live in the vicinity of villages
aud dotheir own marketing on the same day
the Ferries are picked, these varieties will pay
a much larger profit than the smaller and hard
er kinds. Tho cultivation of this fruit is rapid
~ extending at the North, and it will not be
long before two weeks at least will be added to
the strawberry season in our City.-N Y.

SHEEP VERSUS Doos.-In the city it is man
versus dog, and war is made every Summer
upon the canine race out Of regard to the hui
man species. In the country the dogs arc
sheep killers, and the amount of property de.
stroyed by these thievsh quadrupeds every
! year is enormous. 1t is estimated that the
| dogs Of the State Of Connecticut cost ovei
| Sl0O,U00 per anuum. At tho same rate, the
| uoSs ol 'le WhOle country COst over SoJuOUJ
coo, which is cert AMY a very large tax to pay
upon SO worthless an animal. In many part.
ofthe country, it is almost impossible to keei
sheep on account of the dogs fondness fol
mutton. This meat isthe most wholesome and
nutritious that comes to market, and ought Il
b. the cheapest. We are glad to see that the
States are beginning to egislate against dogs
We should like to have the whole race OF cur
extcrminated, and think bounties might bC
offered upon their heads with much more rea
son Than uFon crows and blackbirds.

An atrociduS murder was committed on n
farm in Allegheny county, near Pitl3burg, last
week. Two old persons, brother and sister,
named Wilson, were killed during Thursday
night, in their own house, by some person. a
dIssolute niece OF theirs had been staying at
the house, but left, saying that she was going
to Mrkeesport to see her husband. She did
not, however, take the direction of that place.
and from her subsequent mysterious actions
there seems a general belief that She murder
ed her relatives to get their money, about
5000, which they had managed to hoard up.

SCARCITY OF FEEp.-Great complaint is made
by farmers and Stocl-breeders in many places,
of the scarcity Of hay and feed. The winter
was so long and severe that ordinary stocks of
feed have given ont long since, while the back.
wardness of spring and the recent deep SHOWS,
have occasioncd an absence of grass which is
severely felt. The Charlottesville (Va) Advo-
cate says: "We hear Of some farmers who
were forced this week to go into the mountains
where the snow was five inches deep, and cut
down trees, that their cattle might feed upon
the buds. From this until the early grass is
sufficiently grown to be grazed our cattle must
suffer greatly in many parts Of the country. -

TRUE FRIENDSHIP,

Oh! what happincss-what brightness,
In LIES changclul scenes appear,
When we meet kind words and actions,
And we feel they are sincere;
When the smiles of friendship greet us,
And we know that they are true
What greater charm hath this fair worlt
To offer me or you?
With the beaming sky above us,
And the lovely earth beneath,
With the music of the ocean,
And the flower enamclcd heath;
With these bcautcous scenes Of nature,
What more cheering would you ask
Than the glance that speaks affection,
From the heart without mask?
For pure truth is such jewel,
Oh! so precious aud so rare,
That il seems spark from Heaven,
Seldom lent to mortal care;
When we meet it in carths friendship,
Let us prize its holy might,
For it comes unto orr spirits,
Like an angel winged with light.

FIDELITY OF A SLAyE-At a meeting OF the
Palmetto Association, of South Carolina, some
time since, Mr.. Kctt in the course of q speech
laudatory Of the deeds of the South Carolina
regiment in the Mexican war, related the fol.
lowing instance of devotion in a slave who was
attached to the person of a brother Of Preston
S. Brooks:
When another regiment fed and all the
horrors and scOurges Of war were pouring down
upon the gallant Pamcttoes, bathcd in the
blood of their omrades--when Shields said,
"Who will follow mcw and Butler said, 1--WE
will" Brooks, yes, the STRIPPING Brooks, cried
out, eyes, all will follow you to the DEATH
and he did. The same ball which pierced his
body shivercd his muskct, and shiyercd mus
ket was TO adorn the signet, with the motto
suits mcruisse. When this brother left home,
Brooks told him, his father said to his old
body servant, "Go with him and take care of
himI confidc my son to You" How did the
good old negro act? When the baptism of
blood was going on--whcn perils were linger-
ing around, when hot ignition Of stratagem
was cverywhere-with none to watch the
wounded boy but this old scrvaat, he was at
his labor of love, taking care of his charge
Crushed bones worked out from the wound -
he gathered them up and preserved them.
The noble spirit passed out, and the corpcs
alone was left. What did the old and faithful
slave? The regiment gave him mule and
cart; the soldiers helped him to make a rude
coffin. With his own hands he placed the
earthly remains of his beloved young master in
this hcorsc, he conveyed it to Mexico, he car
ried it to Vera Cruz, he bore it ON shipboard
and by railroad, to his old master home. and
the body and bones of her child to
his widowed and bercaycd mother at the lin
tel of his birth place. This is literally true.
In classic story, in Legendary annals, in ancient
or modern time-whcre is the equal of this
touching story?

THE COUNTRY LASSIE.

She blossomed in the country,
Where sunny summer filings
Her rosy arms about the earth,
And brightest blessings brings;
Health was her sole inheritance,
And grace her only dover;
/ never dreamed the wild wood
Contained SO sweet u flower.
Far distant from the city,
And inland from the sea,
My lassic bloomcd in goodness,
AS pure as pure could be;
She caught her dewy freshness
From hill and mountain bower,
/ never dreamed the wild wood
Contained so sweet a flower.
The rainbow must have lent her
Some of its airy grace,
The wild rose parted with q blush
That nestled on her face;
The sunbeam got cntangled in
The long waves Of her hair,
Or she meier had grown to be
So modest and so fair.
The early birds have taught her
Their joyous matin song,
And some of their soft innocence
She's been with them so long.
And for her now, it need be,
I'd part with wealth and power;
/ never dreamed the wild wood
Contained so sweet flower.

ritorial governments, with legislative, execu-

of Congress, for the reason that 1t has passed
under another and a different Jurisdiction.
Hence, if we abolish the territorial govern

stances, since 1900.
While the power of Congress to repeal the

ment cannot be denied, he continues, the
question may arise whether we possess the
moral right of exercising the power, after the

acts, which we have every reason to believe

FASHIONABLE FRIENDs-Thc hardest trial
Of those who fall from allucnce and honor to
poverty and obscurity is the discovery that
the attachments of so many in whom they con,
lided, was pretence, n mask, to gain their
own ends, or was miserable shalowncss.-
Sometimes doubtless, it is with regret that
these frivolous followers of the world desert
those upon whom they have fawncd but they
soon forget them. Flies leave the kitchen
when the dishes are empty. The parasites that
cluster about the favoritc of fortune, to gath
err his gifts and climb by his aid, lingcr with
the sunshine, but scatter at the approach of a
storm, as the leaves cling to the tree in sum
mer weather. but drop off at the breath of
winter, and leave it naked to the singing
blast Like ravens settled down for Il banquet,
and suddenly scared by noise, how quickly,
at the first sound of calamity these superficial
earthings are specks on the horizon.
But true friend sits in the centre, and is
for all time. Our need only reveals him more
fully, and binds him more closely to u.s. Pros
perity and adversely are both rcvealers, the
difference being that in the former, our friends
know us; in the latter, we know them. But,
Notwithstanding the insncerity and grccdiness
prevalent among men, there is a vast deal
more of esteem and fellow yearnng than is
ever outwardly shown. There are more exam.
pies of unadulterated affection, more deeds of
silent love and magnanimity, than is usually
Our msfortunes bring to our side,
real friends, before unknown.
Benevolent impulses, where we should not
expect them, in modest privacy, enact many a
scene of beautiful wonder amidst the plaudits
of angels. And upon the whole, fairly cstima-
ting the glory, and the uses, and the actual
and probable preference Of the friendly scnti
ment, we must cheerIy strike the Tyre and lift
our voice to the fayorite song, confessng after
every compliment is ended, that
There is power to make each hour
As sweet as heaven designed it;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find It'll
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found;
For life hath here no charm so dear
AS home and friends around us.

EDr1NG A NEwspApER.--It is one Of the pc
cuiarities of modern society that every one
fancies himself capable of editing newspaper
or writing paragraph Men are not given to
believe that they can make boot or pair of
brceches without having served an apprentice
ship at the trades required; nor is it usual for
young men about town to undertake to treat a
patient for paralysis, or to plead case in
court without some preparatory training. But
every man, woman, and almost every child be-
lieves that the duties Of an editor are innately
acquired by every mind. So far as our expe-
ricncc goes, there are more men in the country
who could make pair of boots, treat sick
person, plead before the supreme court, or
drive a steam engine, without previous train
ing, than there are who could edit u paper
without previous apprenticeship to the pro-
fcssion
