Tie Calif6rnia Ca'turtst.-The De-
ccmber number of this publication more
than sustains the previous reputation of
the work. it contains articles on the
pruning of vines, grating the vine, on
irrigation, the peach, transplanting fruit
trees &C., of interest to mountain cul-
turists. We learn from the agent, Mr..
Geo. w. WEIGH, thatthe Culturist is not
patronized by our citizens bu. to limi-
ted extent. The loss is to them-not the
enterprising publishers. The Culfurist
we can't do without, though we can
hardly make a pretense Of being even
a small cultivator.

PORTRAIT OF LIEUT.. MAURY.-Lieut
Maury, who is delivering two lectures
in the western cities OIL The Atlantic
Telegraph" and The Depths and Won

the Cincinnati Commercial
Lieut. Maury is square. frigate-built,
trim-legged gentleman, five feet eight
add half, halt in his right spar, heavy
timbered, with bold PROV, and obvi-
ously intended for deep sea cruising.
BY the log he was fifty-two January
las: past, but. were it not for bald
crown he would not seem sufficiently
weather beaten in the hulk to justify a
suspicion of that age, by nearly half
score. Everything about him is square,
except his ideas. which arc ronnd and
solid as twenry four pound ball. His
head is solid and square,; his face is sol
il and square; his front forehead is SOL
id and square; his frame we'll knit and
square; and his presence impresses
very decided and determined: motion of
squarenesj and solidity. His eyes are
bright blue, like the ocean in moderate
soundings; wide apart and canopied by
his brows His hair is dark brown and
strong on the sides and back of his head
none from the forehead to the crown
the smooth, shiny surface being a belt
of calm between trade winds. Features
flexible, Ike annealcd metal, playing
anon with quiet humor as if he loved
sailors yarn. Manner self possessed,
but little curt; sharp voice 3; delivery
rapid, and ntterance generally clear, but
occasionally marred by indistinctness.

PLANT TREEs.-1mprore your Grounds
We observe, by looking over our cx-
changes, a general movement to culti-
vate the soil. In the valleys the re-
suits of planting have been of the most
fattering character inspiring the culti-
vator to persevere. In the mountains,
where few years ago barrenness seem
ed stamped upon nature, fertility has
been discovered by the experiments of
pioneer fruit raisers, and almost every
one who is the occupant of square
rood of ground begins to look about him
for some production Of the vegetable
kingdom to adorn and make useful the
spot he calls home. Four years ago how
bleak and dry and dreary were these
hills! They were as cheerless to the
eye as the sand dunes on some desolate
shore, and as arid and hard as the fin
ty surface of parts of Sahara. The idea
of flowers, and orchards and vincy ards
thriving upon such soil was pronounced
by most men preposterous. But at the
expense of ridicule few venturesome
spirits quietly thrust a stray root or two
in the ground few seeds were dropp-
ed here and there, and the results have
astonished the most hopeful.
= We see about us small but valuable
orchards and gardens began as an ex-
pertinent, and ending in success. Hope
has been inspired, and spirit of emu
lation is rife. 1t is well. 1t argurs well
for the future of this young State. The
green trees growing around our old an
cestral homes have but to be repro
duced here to detach in a measure our
affections from the scenes of youth and
fix them more tenderly where our hopes
should be conferred The great curse of
this country has been that we have all
felt we were strangers il a strange
land The idea Of home here has
been the fartlest from our thoughts.-
Happily as the comforts and luxuries of
life grow up around us, the ties to the
country where our lot is cast grow
stronger and stronger. 1t looks more
and more home-like as the verdure of
home land increases under our fostering
care.
It's duty we owe ourselves and the
rising generation to plant, water and
make glad the earth about us. "He
wEo would be saint in the Magian re-
ligion was obliged to plant useful trees,
convey water to the dry lands of Persia,
and to work out his salvation by pursu
ing the labors of agriculture" A wise
and benevolent maxim of the Zendaves-
ia is this : ''He who sows the ground
with care and diligence acquires great
er stock of religious merit than he could
gain by the repetition of ten thousand
prayers" Surely the religion of Zoroas-
ter inculcates no more humane precepts
and practices than are Incumbent upon
the present generation. Make little
oasis then about your dwelling and be
happy while you can.

"THE ATLANTIC MoNTHLY-The Sd
volume of this eminent publication COM
menced on the first of January 1850
We learn from the publishers that the
Magazine, now but one year old, has al
ready circulation of 10000 copies.
This is not so much to be wondered at
when we take into consideration the
corps of distinguished writers employed
to fill the columns of the "Atlantic" com
prising such names as VIM. II. Prescott,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Longfcllow,
O. w. Holmes, Herman Melville, and
dozens of others of the most celebrated
authors in America. We lately met
with a notice of the ''Atlantic" in for
eign journal, in which high compli-
ment is paid to its merits. 1t is allowed
to fairly enter into competition with the
best English Magazines, which is great
concession coming from an English pen.
Any actual subscriber to our paper,
who desires to read the choicest prodnc-
tions of the most brilliant American in
tellccts (and every true American should
read tbem) can by sending us 81 in ad-
vance receive the "Atlantic Monthly and
NEVADA JOURNAL for one year. Any
regular subscriber to our paper in times
past and still taking it, by the transmits
sion of 50 to us free of charge, can have

WHITE ASH LEAVES A CURE FOR RArrLEsNAKE BITE-We take the following from the Tennessee Quid Nunc. It would be well for all to preserve it, as well as to keep con stantly on hand a good supply of the white ash leaves "A little girl of this vicinity was cured ofa rattlesnake bite recently by the use gof a strodg decoction of white ash leaves, taken internally, and also applied to the wound. The de- coction was not used until the day after she was bitten. Had it been used immediately after receiving the bite. there would probably have been no swelling at all. There is a species of black snake (not poison- ous) which always fights the rattle snake when he meets him, and ale ways kills him. But in the encoun- ter he generally receives many wounds from the fangs of his poison ous antagonist. These he cures by chewing white ash leaves and applying his saliva, charged with their pulpy juice, as sort of lini- ment. The instinct of the reptile suggested the remedy to man.

A GooD HusBAND.-When you see a young man modest and retir- ing in his manners, who cares less about dress than his moral charac- ter, depend upon it, ladies, he will make an excellent husband. fyou get the one who is kind and atten- tive to his mother, affectionate to his sister, industrious in his habits, and economical in his business, rest as- sured you have found one of whom you will never be ashamed. The ball room is no place to find a hus- band, the fashionable assembly is no place, it is in the retirement of home, the place ofbusinesa where you can study character and disposition; and where the best is not put on for eff feet or display.
