A FREE VOICE FROM ASHLAND.

Sixteen years ago Henry Clay the inn
mortal statesman Of the West and cham
pion of the Union, thus sent forth his ap-
peal to the Wings of the United States,
who had so often and so calamity with
him withstood the usurpation of power by
the Democratic party
Fellow citizens Of oil parties The
present situation Of our country il one of
unexampled distress aud difficulty but
there is no occasion for any despondency
A kind and bountifui Providence has new
err deserted us; punished us he perhaps
has, for our neglect Of His blessings and
our misdeods. We have a varied and fer
tile soil, genial climate, and free institu-
tons. Our whole land is covered in pro-
| fusion with the means of subsistence and
the comforts of life. Our gallant ship, it
is unfortunately true, lies helpless on a
| tempestuous sea, amid the conflicting bill
lows Of contending parties, without a rud-
der and without faithful pilot. But that
ship is our country, embodying all our
past glories, all our future hopes. Its
crew is our whole people, by whatever
/ political denomination they are known.
If she goes down, we all go down togeth-
er. Let us remember the dying words of
the gallantand lamented Lawrence Don {
gire up The ship. The glorious banner of
our country, with its unstained stars and
stripes, still proudly floats at its masthead.
With stout hearts and strong arms we can
surmount all our difficulties. Let us all
rally round that banner, and firmly resolve
to perpetuate our liberties and regain our
lost prosperity.
Wings, arouse from the ignoble supine-
ness which encompasses you; awake from
the lethargy in which you lie bound; cast
from you that unworthy apathy which
seems TO make you indifferent to the fate
of your country. Arouse awake shake
off the dew-drops that glitter on your gar.
ments, and once more march to battle and
to victory.

cABBAGEs FOR CATTLE.


An intelligent farmer from Berkshire coun-
ty. who is scientific as well as practical, and
cultivates his grounds with his own hands,
informs as that he has worked out the pob-
lem 20 his own satisfaction, that an acre Of
cabbage is worth more Co farmer than an
acre of roots taking into consideration the
amount of labor necessary for cultivation In
raising carrots. for instance, much valuable
time is required i'm putting the seed into the
ground, and in thinning out and wedding the
tender plants-timo that is wanted for other
crops whereas all that is requisite for cab
bages IS an inconsiderahle amount of labor
in sowing sufficient quantity of seeds 20
produce the plants. which will grow without
any attention till about the first of July.
They arc then large enough to be transplant
ed and he does that in rainy days that can
not be spent in tine hay field. The ground
being marked off in rows. he lays the plants
where he intends they shall grow; and then
walks along with a simple tool. with which
he crowds them into the ground at the rate
of a thousand plants an hour. They arc then
cultivated as easily as corn or potatoes.
The crop is gathered In the fall with far
less labor than a crop of roots, and with
stub scythe he cuts down.a row of cabbages
as fast as be can walk The heads are then
slowed away, TO be given 20 the cattle in the
cold weather with their bay. But his prac-
tice. IN She autumn, whom the grass is killed
by the frosts, is TO go between the rows and
gather the lower leaves of the c1bhages and
feed them to hi, cattle with cornstlhs In
this way his COWS arc kept in milk through

The MISCHIEF MAKER.-"When the ab-
sent are spoken OF, says Henry Ward Beech
cr, "some will speak gold of them, some sill
yer, some iron, some lead, and some always
speak dirt, for they have a natural attraction
towards what is evil, and think it shows a
penetration in them. As cat watching for
mice does not look up though an elephant
goes by, so busy are they mousing for defects,
that they let great excelencies pass them un-
noticed | will not say it is not christian to
make heads of others faults, and tell them
over every day; l say it is Internal. If you
want to know how the devil feels, you do
know if you are such one.

ledger historian of the COLONY Of New Plym-

NJ. Hue. the great French traveller in China
comedies that his polite countrymen are out
done bv the Chinese He saws that nowhere
else than in China could men be heard OK
changing compliments about coffin. "In
every country people torbear to speak Of this
mournul object destined to contain the re-
mains of a relation or friend. 1t is prepared
in secret out of sight of the world, and when
death enters the house the coffin is introduced
by stealth, to avoid aggravating the grief of a
heart-broken family. The Chinese view the
matter in a totally different light. In their
eyes a coffin is an article Of the first necessity
to the dead and of taste and luxury to the
living. In the great towns they are displayed
with elegant decorations. in magnificent shops,
and carefully painted, vanished, and polished,
in order to allure the passers-by and induce
them to buy People in easy circumstances
always, in fact, provide themselves before hand
with one to their fancy. and, until the time
arrives for lying down in it, keep it in the house
as a handsome piece of furniture Of which the
utility is not immediate, but which cannot
fail to be a consoing and agreeable object in
a handsomely decorated apartment. The cof-
fin. above all is considered an excellent method
for children in a decent rank to show the in
tenton OF their fiial piety to the authors of
their being. 1t is a great consolotion to a son
to be able to purchase a coffin for an old father
or mother, and make a solemn offering of it
when they least expect. When we love, we
are always ingenious in contriying agreeable
surprises. If person is not sufficiently ia-
voted by fortune to keep a coffin ready, care
is still taken not to wait till the last moment,
that the dying man, before sauting the world,
as they say in China, may have the satisfaction
of casting a glance at his last abode. Thus,
when a patient is given over, if he has the
luck to be surrounded by loving friends, they
never fail to buy him coffin, and put it by
the side of his bed

ANEcDorE OF JoHN Hancock A letter
in the New York Tribunc gives an anocdotc
Of John HancoclS's hospitality apropos of the
purchase Of the Hancock estate There
were not less than fifty or sixty at table, but
the host did not sit at meat with them. He
ate at little side-tabe, and sat on a wheel
chair. in which he wheeled himself about the
general table to speak with his guests. This
was because of his gout of which he made
political as well as social excuse for doing
as he pleased On the occasion in question,
when the guests were in the height of ami
mated conversation, and Just as the cloth was
drawn, they were interrupted by a trcmen-
dous crash. A servant. in removing a cut
glass epergne, which formed the central orna-
ment Of the table, let it fall, and it was dash
ed in a thousand pieces An awkward silence
fell upon the company, who hardly knew how
to treat the accident, when Hancock relieved
their embarrassment, by cheerfully oxclaim-

Mr. Enron: - Several of your readers
have requested me 20 inform them of my meth
cd of raising the oats and potatoes. recently
reported in your paper, through the columns
of the Farmer.
The potatoe ground is dry loan, on which
raised corn the previous year. The ground
for the corn was prepared as follows ap-
piled thirty loads Of stable manure to the acre,
plowed in, and ten loads Of hog manure to the
acre, in the hill In the fall planted and
narrowed the ground. Last spring | applied
twenty loads of stable manure per acre, plowed
in, then plowed and narrowed again. Plant
ed it with Danvers red putatoes rows three
feet apart, and the hills eighteen inches apart.
Seed small, cut once, and two pieces in a hill
/ planted twelve bushels ON an acre. The first
time hoeng. ! plowed between the rows twice.
also the cultiyator twice. The second time
hoeing / plowed twice between the rows
Raised sos bushels on one and one-half acres,
good size and sound.
The oats were raised on ten acres green
sward aud three acres old ground. Soil, dry
loam Plowed in the fall eight inches deep.
narrowed thoroughly in the spring before and
after sowing, and rolled. When the oats were
three inches high, applied ] so pounds Of plas-
ter to the acre no manure. Seed l2 BUSH

loosely upon the shelf or in the closet, where
a careless servant, an unthinking child, or
even mischievous mouse may produce dis
astrous results with them. \ little incident
has made me very careful in this matter One
day. when about closing my room, l hastily
threw a key into a drawer where were sew
era loose papers and miscellaneous articles
and closed it but Just as it was closed, there
was a glimmer of light within the drawer
which attracted my attention from its novelty
Opening it, | found that the key had struck
the end of friction match fred it, and, if
undiscovered, the building. worth many thou
sand dollars, would probably have been con-
sumed, and no one could have guessed how
it took fire. 1t is unquestionably true that
many fires have originated from mice nibbling
the ends Of matches, and we know that many
children have been poisoned by biting match
es carelessly left within their reach. Buy or
make metallic or earthorn match safe, and
keep it in a safe place-American Agricutu-
