Influence Of Moral Culture on
National Liberty.

1t may be worthy of notice that the
present age seems to have known that
stability of government and the happi-
ness of society are greatly dependent
upon national morality.
The historical illustrations in proof of
this doctrine are most melancholy and
painful. In various ages have legisla-
tors, w-givers, and the most profound
philosophers devised systems of govern
ment, which, one after another, have been
for time adopted, weighed in the bal
ance,' found wanting, have been discar-
ded, and fallen to decay.
Egypt, Rome, Assyria, Greece, Car
thage, have furnished instances of diver
sity of government, but where are these
They have fed like the vision of a
night that is passed; perished for the
want of popular virtue; and from their
sepulchers is heard the deep thunder
toned voice of wisdom and warning.
Indeed every form of government has
been alike, the victim of popular corrup-
tion; but the progress of decay has been
rapid in exact proportion to the popular
elements Incorporated into each; so that
while the general lesson of decay has
been sufficiently awful, its special appli-
cation to a government and institutions
so popular as ours, is yet the more i'm
pressive!
Coincident with the teachings of histo-
ry are the maxims of modern political
science, which inform us that in the
book of Gods Revelation to move on,
contained the only principles that can en-
sure national stability and happiness.
Here, then, we find the united claims
of patriotism and philanthropy presented
to us in the most impressive manner by
the condition of our fellow men. The
necessity Of moral culture is also demon
:strated by many of the peculiarities of
American character; as an instance may
be noticed that sordid propensity which
is continually driving us into all sorts of
enterprises and money making schemes,
one which has attracted the notice of
travellers from abroad as national trait.
Urged on by the national passion, multi
tudes gather about the altar of Mammon.
while the altars of the living God are
almost entirely deserted, or most sacri
|ligiously desecrated. This great golden
image is of almost universal idolatry. We
seem to be impelled by a similar spirit to
that which moved the Alchemists of the
middle ages and not the ardor which

Marriage is to woman at once tht
happiest and saddest event of her life
it is the promise of future bliss, raised
on the death of present enjoyment. She
quits her home, her parents-her com.
panions her amusements - everything
on which she had hitherto depended fol
comfort, for affection, for kindness and
for pleasure.
The parents by whose advice she has
been guided-the sister to whom she has
dared to impart the very embryo thought
and feeling-the brother who has played
with her, by turns the counselor and the
counseled, and the younger children to
whom she has hitherto been the mother
and playmate-all are to be forsaken at
one fell stroke-every former tie is loos-
ened-the spring of every action is chang
ed; and she flies with joy in the untroden
pathes before her, buoyed up by the con-
fidence of requitted love, she bids fond
and grateful adieu to the life that is past,
and turns with excited hopes and joyous
anticipation of the happiness to come
Then rOe to the Man who can blight
such fair hopes-who can treacherously
lure such heart from its peaceful enjoy
ment, and the watcful protection of home
who can, cOward-like, break the illu-
sions which have won her, and destroy
the confidence which love had inspired.
Woe to him who has too early with
drawn the tender plant from the props
and stays of moral discipline, in which
she has been nurtured, and yet makes no
effort to supply their places; for on him
is the responsibility of her errors-on
him who first taught her, by his example,
to grow careless of her duty, and then
exposed her with weakened spirit and
unsatisfed heart to the wild storms and
the willy temptations of sinful world.

Rather InQuisitivc.

Old Gov. B., of Vermont, was one
of the most inveterate jokers of the early
times in which he figured. An anecdote
is told of him, which has never been re-
lated in print, and never can be, perhaps,
with much effect, but we will try it.
One fall, as he was returning from the
Legislature, on horse back, as usual at
that day, he was hailed from house by
a garulous old maid, who had often an
noyed him with questions respecting pub
lie affairs.
"Well Governor" said she, coming
towards the road; what new laws have
you passed at Montpelier this time %
/" Well, one rather singular law among
the rest" replied he.

beats that-the woman who has the lar

maid, Instantly relaxing her mouth and

Garden Fertilizers.

Whilst we are all running mad after
far fetched manures, we are neglecting
those just as good nearer home which do
not cost half as much. We have found
wheat bran to be valuable food for gar
den products. 1t is so cool in its nature,
that there is little danger of freezing any
crop by its use, and so easy of decompo-
sition, that the plant can appropriate it
by the time its feeders are large enough
to prick. In the culture of the Irish po-
tatoes, it is invaluable. In all cases, it
should be put in the soil, below the seed.
In manuring rows of vegetables, first
open deep furrow and sprinkle bran in
the bottom, cover the bran with earth,
and over it plant the seed. Bran is fine for
cabbage, English peas, snaps, beans and
all plants that do not like highly stimu-
lating food.
The usual price for bran at the mill is
fifty cents per hundred, but at one dollar,
it is cheaper and safer than guano for gar
den culture. There is nothing better for
the onion bed than the scraping of the
hen house. To make it Immediately
available to the plants, it should be thor
oughly pulverized and mixed with wood
ashes. The contents of the wash tub
should be put on the cabbage square, it
is both meat and drink to the plant
If the garden be sandy, clay will be a

Upon life's dark and stormy sea,

And won my heart to love
She told me of peaceful shore,
Where joys forever reign;
She babe me sigh aud fear no more,
And brought me peace again;

Seen life in toughest form,

Dreadful.-A marriage occurred in this
co, a few weeks ago, under difficulties if
not unsurmoutable at least quite interes-
ting. The ceremony progressed without
interruption until the happy pair were
called upon to join hands as finishing
touch, making two hearts one when to
their horror it became manifest that the
delightful ceremony must at once be sus-
pended. Awful situation So near their
happiness, and yet beyond their reaoss. .z=s
The last and blest words, Be thou man
and wife, were ready to be and could
not be, pronounced. They were divided
and no ingenuity, however cunning, could
bring the otherwise happy pair within
shake hands distance. No deep sea roll
ed, yet there they stood divided as the
lands of the Egyptians and the Canaan
ties. Oh, had it indeed been the Red
Sea, the revered father by faith might
have smote its placid bosom and ended
this dreadful suspense in fruition. No,

Women in their nature are much more
joyous than men whether it be that their
blood is more refined, their fibres more
delicate, their animal spirits more light
and vOlatile-or whether, as some imag-
ined, there may not be sex in the very
soul-we shall not pretend to determine.
As vivacity is the grief of woman, gravi-
ty is that of man. They should each of
them, therefore, keep watch upon their
particular bias which nature has fixed in
their minds, that it may not draw too
much and lead them out Of the path of
reason. This will certainly happen, if
the one in every word and action affects
the character of being rigid and severe,
and the other of being brisk and airy
Men should beware Of being captivated
by kind of savage philosophy, women
by a thoughtless gallantry. Where these
precautions are not observed, the woman
often degenerates into coquette; the man
grows sullen and morose, the woman i'm
pertinent and fantastical Taking these
facts as basis for our premises, we may
conclude that men and women were
made as counterparts to one another;
that the pain and anxieties of the
husband might be relieved by the spright-
liness and good humor of the wife
When these are tempered, care and cheer
fulness go hand in hand, and the family,
like ship that's duly trimmed, wants
neither sail nor ballast.

Knowing who to Kick. The late Col.
McClung, of Mississippi, once got into a
dispute in the Office of the Prentiss House,
at Vicksburg, with rowdy, when, to
end the matter without further delay, he
took the rowdy by the "nape of the neck"
led him to the door and kicked him into
the street. The kickee picked himself up,
and walked away, and here the matter
ended. Some weeks afterwards McClung
was in New Orleans, and when walking
up st. Charles street, saw the fellow he
had kicked out of the Prentiss House
kicking third party out of drinking
saloon. McClung walked up to his old
acquaintance, once the kickee, but now
the kickor, and after scanning him close
ly, said: "Look here, my fine fellow,
are you not the man / kicked out of tho
Prentiss House the other day ?" "Soft-

The FIRST Year Of Buchaaan's Admin-
istrdtion.-On the 4th inst, expired the
first year of James Buchanan's Presiden-
tial term. When the impartial historian
comes to write the history of his Admin
istration, the index to the first year will
probably read as follows:
Bankrupts the Treasury.
A hard money Administration sustains
itself by issuing shinplasters.
Kansas conquered by the army.
An outrageous Constitution forced upon
an unwilling people.
Tremendous frauds discovered in all
quarters.
The President charged with bribing
members of Congress, and most Of tho
session consumed in investigating the
charge.
The African slave trade re-opened.
From this promising beginning We
leave our readers to imagine the history
of the remaining three years.
