''C1lcy Say"

4 mere sneeking, cowarily, fiendsh
liar than They say, does not exist
That parsonage is a universal scapegoat
for personal gossip, envy and malice
without form of flesh and blood, when
invoked, and ye. stalking boldly in every
community. The character is a myth,
and yet real; intangible, and yet clutch
ing It's victims with rcmorseles power.
1t is unseen, and yet from an exhaustless
quivcr wings its poisoned arrows from
day to day, And no mail is proof; no
character, position or sex escapes, no
sanctuary is too sacred; no home is bal
warked against its assaults. When one
base heart wishes to assail some persons
character or motives, They say is al
ways invoked. That is the assassin who
in the cloud-the Thug who haun,s the
footsteps of the offender, and torture from
careless word or deed, an excuse for the
stiletto. Men dare not always reveal
their own feelings. With smiles and
pretended friendship, they present the
cnvenomed shaft az coming from They
say BE sure; reader, that when some
villaiuous tale is told YOU, and the rcla-
tor cannot give an author more tangible
than, They Say for it, that the slander
is the creation of the heart byyour side,
and rcekin, with the poison OF envy, and
hatred, and earnest with wish to have
the f,lsehood Of They say bud into real
ity, and become current coin in the COM
munity.
They say'--we repeat, is as cowardly
as it is false and tiendish; phantom ere
alton which smiles, while letting loose a
brood of vipers to crawl in your path,
and blast by their venom. To retail
the stories Of 'They say, is to sneek
behind an intangible peasonage and put
in circulation the infamous inuendoes
and calumnies, which form raw material,
are forged near home.

a DONKEY AMONG TILE BEEs.-A
laughable occurrence took place day
or two since upona farm in the outskirts
Of the city, in which donkey occupied
a very prominent part, and showed HIM
self to be far less intelligent animal than
the one we read Of who, when pcnned
up in the farm yard with the chickens.
remarked, as he trod them under foot,
Every ono for himself and God for us
all
This modern donkey, being pennol up
in 4 yard, under circumstances quite
similar to those of his ancient prototype,
undertook the more dangerous expert
ment Of treading on the bees; 50 he
thrust his ugly nose against the hives,
and made determined onset upon the
whole row, as if each individual hive was
a trough of meal. Not relishng such
familiarity with their domestic arrange.
ments, the bees rushed out in suarms
and commenced their assaults upon him
in such a savage manner as made the
poor beast think he must leave in hur-
ry, which he accordingly did. But the
bee, not content with acting merely on
the defensive, seemed determined to pun
ish him for his temerity. and give him a
lesson which should last him through
life. Literally covering his whole body.
they stung him on his nose, they stung
him ON his ears, they stung him In his
eye. Upon his back and upon IS belly.
upon his neck and upon his legs, they
fastened themselves by hundreds and
thousands, and wherever a sting could
penetrate the poor donkey had to t,kc it
Frantic with rage and pain, the AMI
mail braycd and beloved, and ran and
jumped, and lashed his sides with his
tail; and finally, as if in utter despair OF
getting rid of his assailants, he threw
himself upon the ground and rolled oven
and over in an agony Of pain. Finding
s4ilants seemed to multiply rather than
diminish, the poor donkey picked HIM
self up again, and seeing the kitchen
door open, with ears and tail erect, and
eyes ghstening with tears and terror, he
IN ,de rush into the house. Thithei
the bees followed him; and such scene
as then ensued has seldom been enacted.
In vain the donkey rolled upon the floor
IN vain he Jumped over the cook-stove
overturned the chai s, and upset the Ia
bic, the bees had not done with him yet
and it was not until the whole household
summoned by the noise, and worked
vigorously for some minutes, with nap
kns and dustine brushes, that poor John
Donkey was sufficiently lid OF his ene-
mics to be able to leave in safety by an.
other door than that which he had enter
ed.
This is no fable, reader, but vera.

as good as fit were fable, and one
which the strong, who attempt to oppress

H3tS in Horses.

Mn. EnIToR;-lIlving few leisure mo-
monts | will improve them by writing down
and sending you Il receipt for the cure of bots
i'll horses. Bots are caused by the gad hy
which deposits eggs on the fore legs and 9th.
cr parts of the horse, and afterwards licked
off by the horse, and thus conveyed to the
stomach, where they are Matched, and cling
to the stomach. Some writer's contend that
they are incurable, while others recommend
fresh blood, swectencl milk, or any thing
that will sicken slightly. But the best rem
eiy have ever discovered or tried is simply
s.se tea, which find to be an infallible rem
edy. saved the life of valuable mare,
worth at least one hundred and fifty dollars,
in the fall of 1850, on board steamboat on
the Illinois River, simply by sage tea alone
When every thing els, failed, and she was

dry, as you can hold in your hand, and boil
it thoroughly in a quart or three pints OF
water, cool, drench, and your horse will be

The common field turnip, when properly
cultivated, is not only one of the most prof.
table crops a farmer can raise, but is raised
with the least labor and expense. Many of
my neighbors tell me they can never raise
any, and don't see how always manage to
have 4 ood crop of turnips. The way
manage is, to fence off "A piece of ground, and
yard my cows upon it from the time | leave
off stabins them till the 25th of July
Then l adopt the old rule and SOW nv tur-
nips, wet or dry. The size of the piece of
ground is always to be in proportion to the
number of cows to be yardcd on it.
The advantage of preparing the ground in
this way is two fold: lSt, green manure and
urine are the best fertilizers for turnips, be-
cause they destroy all the bugs, worms and
insects in the ground, consequently the bugs
will never trouble the young plants; and you
get crop of turnils perfectly free from
worms. 2d, it is Il great saving of manure,

the piece three times, and mixed the seed in
plaster. 1t can be sowcd more evenly So
than in any other way. When barn yard
manure, that has not been compostcd, is
used for tuvnips, all the grass seed in the
manure comes up, and pvcr-runs the turnips
before they set good start.

Paul and Virginia = Who has not

over the trials of those beautiful crea-
tions The name of Bernardin St.
Pierre should live until the end of time
and then journey to common grave
with everything that is pure, and beau.
tiful, and true. Paul and Virginia
were the children Of his pure and vivid
imagination !! should be his unfading
epitaph.
Alas that the duty of the i'm, artial
traveller should be to deaden the bright
coloring Of romance with the leadcn brush
of sober truth.
That Paul and Virginia never existed,
is a fact that need not to be mentioned
here, but that NJ. Mentendre and Mad
emoiselle Gallon upon whose sad fate
the story was based) did exist. and that
they perished by an untimeIy and
romantic death is not to be questioned.
The facts which may not be known to all
readers, were these, and are related in the
last letter Of Lieutenant Hartstein from
the Mauritius.
Mademoiselle Gallon, aged eighteen,
and very beautiful, was returning from
France to Mauritius. NJ. Mondcndre
was passenger by the same vessel and
very naturally fell desperately in love-
The vessel was wrecked very near Port
Lauis, and most Of the passengers and
crew were lost. The lovers were on the
ships forecastle, among others, with the
seas breaking threateningly around them;
others Of the crew and passengers were
aft on the quarterback. Many were, it
seems, trying to save themselves in one
way and another, some Of whom even
tually succeeded. NJ. Montendrc might
have been among these latter, but he
would not make tho attempt unless
Madcmosellc Gallon would accompany
him. This the lady shrank from, as it
would necesstate the removal Of her
apparel. In vain the gentleman implor-
ed her to resort to it, as the only chance
of cscape--hcr resolution remained un
shaken.

die with you /. And the green waves
washed mercillessly over them, and the
white boiling foam covered them as with
winding sheet. They were never seen
more-such was the death of paul and
Virginia. When last seen, he was STAN
ding erect, with his strong arm over a
hopeless breast, and she, with a depend
ing hand resting upon his neck, and
eyes of despairing love lifted to the
averted ones of him who could now no
longer save her.
There is something grand in this piece
of self-devotion, something sublimely
beautiful in the purity of this modcsty
which shrank from violation, but not from
death. st. Pierre had u ground well
worthy the creations which his lofty
genius reared upon it. Alas! poor Paul

Some church affairs male it necesoary
for Mr.. Cartwright to visit New York city
some years ago, and it was arranged fo,
him that he should put up at the Asto,
House. 1t was here that his brethren
expected to meet him; his cocial and
denominational appointments had refer
cnce to the Astor House as his head quar-.
ters. When Mr.. Cartwright, however
appeared at the Astor, there was nothing
in his backwoods appearance that suggcs
ted to its proprictors his worthy position
among the fathers of Mcthodism; when,
therefore he requested to be shown to his
room, he was cavalierly turned over to a
servant to show him up stars. Up stairs
they wcnt-up, up, up-Mr. Cartwright
in wondering amazement lost the servant
apparently untiring in his amusement
of ascending. Finally, the servant
opened the door Of an apartment up in
the attic story and pointed i. out to Mr.
c. as his room. Father Peter detained
the servant while he should take gen.
eral survey of the premises; repeated the
inquiry if this was the room he was to
occnpy-and at length, appearing to be
we'll satisfied he disposed of his baggage,
and very politely requested the servant
to be good enough to show him down
stairs again, The servant preceded

ing; but before the servant could make
his escape, Peter inquired if he wouldn't
please to show him up again So up
they went again, heaven ward, and at
last Peter found his room, and permitted
the servant to depart in peace. The
servant, however, had little more than
found himself down stairs, when Uncle
Peter rang the bell vigorously. In due
time. up came the servant, by this time
painting with the unusual cxcrction.
My good friend, am sorry to trouble
you,but should be glad to see the clerk
if you will be kind enough to send him
to my room.
20, certainly
And so down, down goes the servant
to say, to the clerk that singular old
chap up in the upper story wanted him
to come to his room. And, then up goes
MIR. Clerk.
Are you the clerk
'Yes. sir.
We'll, you will place me under great
Obligations to you, if you will show ME
the way down stairs y
And when once more down stairs,
alter Uncle Peter had taken another
careful survey of the surroundings, the
clerk very politely inquired if ,her,
was anything further he could DO for
him.
YES, says Uncle Peter, yes, my friend

Astor; and that it was not further required

again to inquire for, or call upon him

The farmer should not allow his cat.

happens that great deal of time is lost
in catching working animals that are let

green food. For such purposes no far

quantity of clover to be used az soi.ing.
We do not refer to that grown on mead

will be succulent, and while it furnishes
a highly nutriive feed for working ami

Clover grown in the manner referred to,
would produce the second season three

should be fed with clover or other soil.
