THE OKRA PLANT.-It is really sur.
prising that this plant is not more abundant
ly found in our markets. 1t is quite easily
cultivated; requiring no more attention thar
crop of Indian corn. A few days ago the
pods sold in the city markets FER 6sa cent,
for quarter Of a peck. The pods are
most delicious in soups, but many persons
ourselves not among the num- se,S- prefer
them stewed. They should be packed
when perfectly tender, Consequently when
only third or half their growth, otherwise
they are worthless for the table. In this
state, too, they can be strung up with Irvine,
and hung up to dry Tor winter use, when
they are great delicacy. Abundant seed
is produced in the pods allowed TO remain
on the stalks. The seed, however, should
be occasionally changed, otherwise the
stalks will yearly grow shorter Ger,

BE WHAT YOU SEEM,

If you would be deemed a man,
Act manly part;
Affectation is a ban
Show vou have a heart.
Wear no vain deceitful mask,
Artificial wrought,
What does falsehood gain, / ask
Be what you'd be thought.
All that gltters is not gold,
IT'S bat outward gross;
Speech, though courteous. should be bold
Use.no tinsell'd gloss
Tell no flottering tales, and so
Feed mans self-esteem:
Wear your own true look, and show
You are what you seem.
Men OF thought are ever 10th
Hollow prais to give
Only minds of stunted growth
On such diet live.
Empty vessels make most sound,
Words are empty air;
Live above it and be found
What you would appear.

THI CHANCES OF LIBERTY.

The benefcent measure Just passed
! congress for The constitutional establish
ment OF liberty throughout all the States
of the Union has yet to pass the ordeal Ct
the State Legislatures. And we regret 10
ray that the prospect of its immediate
ratification is not at all fatteriug. The
Constitution requires that the amendment
in order TO become effective mupt be
adopted by the Legislatures of three
|. fourlhs of-thc States. And on the preva
lent opinion that all the States must be
counted, twenty seven States must be
found to endorse this amendment.
But as matters now stand those rebel
-lious States now seeking to overthrow the
Government will be able by ignoring the
matter entirely to prevent the adoption Of
This amendm ent, shich exterminates tie
cause of rebellion aud secures universal
liberty throughout the land to all the in
habitaBts thereof.
AT present We can only count with GER
tainty on twenty-tvo States in favor oil
tae amendment, toswit: Maine, NJ Mlssa
chuseIts. Vermont. New II mpshire, Con-
nesiopt, Rhode Island, New York, Penn.
sylvania. Maryland. OHIO, Indiana. Iowa,
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Missouri, Kansas, Oregon, Caiifornia,
Nevada and West Virginia.
The remaining loyal States. Delaware,
New Jersey and Kentucky are doubtful

next winter, and in the meantime il is 10
hoped thlt Tennessee, Louisiana aud Ar
k.ns will once more to be clothed in their
right mind aud in the enjoyment aud ex
ercise Of their rights and privileges in the

I'VE lhink it safe ther efore TO calculate
that in the progress of events five more
States will be ready within The next twelve
