ADVERSITY.
When stem misfortune's tempests blow,
And fancy points to future Woe.
And hope is flick’rinjr dim and low.
Then let thy strength and vs lor shine
To smile when plotvscl—wliat praise is due?
Good-humor sports when pleasures woo,
And rest content while friends are true—
E'en vicious minds such virtue wield.
Hut when mishap and foes contend,'
To mar thy pcaee, and sorrow blend ;
When e'en betrayed by bosom friend,
To bide upright proclaims thy worth.
Soroiio oui.tcre.—The best soil for
the sorghum is lightish sandy or gravelly
upland. The heavy, black alluvial soils
which border rivers and streams arc quite
unsuitable. The growth of cane may be
good, but the syrup is of a dark eolor, and
of inferior quality. Any good com laud
is good for sorghum, provided it is also
good for wheat. Bottom land, though it
may be good for corn as already stated, is
not good for this crop. No strong, rank
manures of any kind should be used. Pig
manure has been known to impart such a
flavor to the syrup ns to reader it unfit for
use. If the soil is reasonably rich no ma
nure is necessary; where manure is need
ed, only that which is old and well rotted
should be used. A liberal application of
lime, plaster and ashes, unless these ele
ments largely exist in the soil, will be
found highly advantageous. Under-drain
ing and sub-soiling will bo quite as benefi
cial to this as to any crop, though it is not
more necessary than for corn. Plowing
and dragging sllotild be carefully done,
and the soil thoroughly pulverized, as there
is no plant more feeble or sensitive in its
early culture than this. Planting should
he done as soon ns the soil lias become
thoroughly warm and dry. It is not ad
visable to soak the seed. If the soil is dry
when the soaked and partally germinated
seed is put in, the dry soil absorbs the
moisture of the seed and destroys its life.
A half inch of light, fine soil, is abundant
covering for the seed. Many plant in
drills and cultivate one way; others in
hills and cultivate both ways. The drills
should be about four feet apart and the
plants six inches apart in the drills. Hills
may he three and a half by four feet, with
six to eight in the hill. There is a Ques
tion as which way is best for drills to run,
but on account ot the prevailing' westerly
■winds, the plants in drills running east
and west are less linblo to prostration.
The young plants when first up are grass
like in appcarauco. They arc very feeble,
and it is absolutely necessary that all weeds
should be kept down, so as to give them a
good start from the first. When the
plants arc well established and have
reached a bight of ten or twelve inches,
they grow with great vigor and rapidity,
and all subsequent cultivation can.be done
with a horse cultivator.’—[Western Rural.
Rauhits Injuring Turks.-Mix
equal parts of pine tar and fish or neat’s
toot oil. With 11 little paddle thinly cov
ered with the mixture, tap lightly and rap
idly on two, three or four sides of the tree,
according to sizo, leaving little dots the
size of a pea, about two inches apart and
two feet high. It will not apparently in
jure the tree, and will protect them over
winter. Half a gill is sufficient for from
fifty to one hundred trees. Try it A
wash of strong soap suds mixed with sifted
wood ashes to the consistency of white
wash, and applied with a brush in a dry
day in spring will make all right again,
and improve the trees. Try both. Some
people adopt the plan of feeding rabbits to
prevent their doing mischief—such may
try the following: just before snow falls,
go through the orchard, cutting off a few
water shoots or sprouts, straggling and
crossing limbs, and letting them lie under
the trees. The rabbits will effectually
bark them, if not buried in snow. Or
with apples or turnips, coax tligni into box
traps. The boys like the sport of catch
ing, and “folks” of eating them.—[Ohio
Farmer.
Wash for Trkks.—We have no great
faith in the efficacy of either * washing or
scraping trees—hut as some persons have,
a few words on the subject may not be
useless. 'If washing is determined upon,
the best material in our knowledge is com
mon soft soap mixed with water until it is
of a cousistcnoy of cream. It may be ap
plied in the month of July; it will have a
tendency to destroy the esrss of insects
which are then deposited on the bark and
about the root of trees. The wash will >
also be fouud cflectual in removing moss '
and other parasitical productions. A suf-!
ticient umouift of potash is contained in
the soap to accomplish these ends, and yet
not enough to injure the bark of the tree,
and us it is of vegetable origin, it is more
cougeniul to the tree than lime, aud is al
ways to he preferred. It does not close
pores of the bark ns lime does, but leaves
them unobstructed and open to atmospher
ic influence, aud in a state of vigorous and
perfect health. It has long been used by
orchardists and gardeners, and has never
been known to injure any fruit tree, when
made aud applied as above directed.[—Se

Green Croi*s.—It is of very great im
portance in the improvement of land, to
plow in green crops of some kind. My
experience is, that a clover sod, together
with all the grass aud weeds that will grow
ou it, from the first of .July to the twen
tieth of August, carefully turned under,
is the best green dressing for a crop of
wheat. Other kinds, as orchard, timothy,
henlgrass, blue and green grasses, make a
valuable sod in the improvement of land,
which, when plowed under, is equal to a
moderate coat of manure. When the land
is sown broadcast with any kind of graiu,
it should at the same time be sowed with
grass seed, in order to produce a sod as of
ten as possible, to plow in; as without a
liberal use of grass seed the progress ol
improvement will not be near as rapid.—
[Practical Farmer in Germantown Tel.
Feeding Boxes vs. Hacks.—The
New Brunswick Farmer gives the follow
! ing sensible advice :
“Horses do not naturally gather food
from trees; why, then should they be
compelled in winter to take it. from a rack
over head? Every mouthful requires the
animal to assume an unnatural position,
which, with young horses particularly,
must interfere with the proper develop
ment of the muscles of the neck, and with
the graceful carriage of the head. 31 ay
not the awkward manner in which many
horses thrust their heads forward and up
ward, be attributed to the force of habit
acquired in feeding from a rack? • Anoth
er serious objection to the rack is the dan
ger from the seed, dust, etc., falling into
the eyes of the animal; further, all the
effluvia of the stable, the vapors from the
skin and lungs pass upward, and arc to
some extent ubsorbed by the 4iay—an ad
dition neither savory nor healthful. The
feed-box may be made equally convenient
with the rack, and is open to none of the
above objections. It need not be large,
and if the bottom be made of slats all re
jected fodder can be easily removed.

Fowls Eating Their Feathers.—
This is one of the most annoying habits to
which domestic fowls are addicted. It is
a morbid appetite, apparently induced bv
the impatience of the fowl under confine
ment. The best preventives are animal
food, raw bones, oyster shells and charcoal,
! broken fine, and n variety of grains, with
clean water and clean apartments. Some
times a particular fowl shows a more invet
erate disposition to cat feathers than the
rest of the flock; it is best in such cases to
remove or kill such fowls. It is supposed
that this habit is first" induced while the
fowls arc moulting and their pin feathers
arc filled with blood, of which they are
very fond.
How to do up Shirt Bosoms.—We
have often heard ladies express a desire,
says an exchange, to know by what process
the fine gloss observable on new linen,
shirt bosoms, etc., is produced, and in or
der to gratify them, we submit the follow
ing receipt for making gum arabic starch :
j.UKe two ouiice.s 11110 wince guiu aruuic
powder, put it into a pitcher nnd pour on
it a pint or more of boiling water—accord
ing to the degree of strength you desire—
and then having covered it let it''s‘et all
night. In the morning pour careful from
the dregs, into a clean bottle, cork it and
keep for use. A tablespoouful of gum wa
ter stirred into a pint of starch made in the
usual manner, will give to either white or
printed lawns a look of newness. Much
diluted, it is also good for thin muslin and
bobinot.
Woman’s Love op Approbation.—
Woman was not made to live alone any
more than man, and the absence of the
natural assistant of the gentle sex was felt
in ways separate from protection and suit
port. All the actions of a woman, wheth
er of useful industry or of ornament, are
subject to the approval and pleasure of the
other sex, to which their own are subordi
nate, and on which they arc founded. To
descend to the humblest form of this feel
ing, every one knows that when a fair lass
has arrayed herself in her new gown or
ribbons, or any finery put on for the first
time, although the admiration of her fe
male acquaintance may give a degree of
pleasure, the applause or compliment of
one man is more valued than that of a
thousand women ; and this feeling, modi
fied by the circumstances of individuals.
I runs through the whole sex, and is part of
; the nature of the human being, implanted
j in the heart by the divine artificer, to pro
i duce the most delicious fruit that grows in
the garden of human' life. Women, by
| themselves, require little to be comfortably
they can live without bustle and without
j form ; neither in beauty of raiment nor in
; delicacy of food can they find happiness,
| so as they have it to themselves alone,
j They require to please the other sex before
; they can please themselves. A knot of
| old maids may to be sure, ho bitterly mer
j ry over their tea and scandal, and despite
I the other sex with profound disdain; but
| there is something unnatural in that enjoy
' nient; nor does anybody suppose that the
j respectable spinsters heart bounds with
I such a sweet human delight at the compli
! nients of her female friends, on her neat
n'Wlll, Mlllllll., U1IV* l-vi tVUj »»>’
the heart of the cottager’s wife, when her
tired husband tells her how nicely she lias
cooked liis bit of supper, and how pretty
she looks in her clean cap. It matters not
whether the husband be the master of a
palace or the occupier of a hovel—whether
his day be spent in the sports of the field,
the drudgery of a profession, or the labor
of a farm; the pleasure of the wife, and
the object of her labor, is to have a table
comfortably spread at his return, and to
J sec that ho enjoys the delicacies which she
! has provided for him ; whether tho pro
; vision be merely a piece of bread and
i cheese and a snow white table, or the rich
i soup, the superb joint, and the bottte of
exquisite wine laid out in the magnificent
dining room, the feelings of a woman rela
tive to mail arc the same.
Tut PnorosEU Division of Tkxas,—A Sou
Antonio correspondent of the New York Post,
writing about the Texas State Convention,
says:
The idea of dividing the State has many sup
porters, and perhaps the entering wedge has
already been driven between Eastern and
Western Texas. The basis of representation
j is now under discussion in the Convention,
some of the members desiring it to embrace
j the whole population; others the white men
I only. It will cvidcutly bo to the interest ot
: eastern and southern counties to have the ne
groes counted, hut tho western and north
eastern counties will probably oppose it, ns
their interest is only to count the whites.

Letter from the Secretary of the
Treasury—National Hanking Appor
tionment.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
written a letter to the Chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, on the appor
tionment of national currency.
1 Te says the Senate hill 250 is seeming
ly general in its provisions, but in effect it
1 singles out Massachusetts, Connecticut and
Rhode Island, and reduces their circula
tion to a certain arbitrary standard.
It practically asserts the circulation of
National Banks in Massachusetts shall he
diminished sixty per cent.; the circula
tion of National Banks in Connecticut
shall be diminished fifty-two per cent., and
the circulation of National Banks in
Rhode Island shall he diminished seventy
four per cent.
This principle on which the reduction
is based is not a correct one. 175,000 of
the rural population of Ohio or Illinois do
not need a tenth part required by the man
ufacturing and commercial communities of
Rhode Island.
This hill is an amendment to section
twenty-one of the present national currency
act, and proposes to withdraw the circula
tion from hanks by reducing the rates
j which it shall bear to capital.
| It will affect the banks in all the States
more or less by a certain fixed rate. The
! reduction is to he effected gradually, as the
I circulation becomes worn and mutilated
hind is returned for redemption.
The amount by which the circulation to
be thus diminished approximates twenty
five millions of dollars, and it is proposed
j in anticipation of"this reduction to author
i i/.e the issue of circulation to banks in
j States that have secured the least propor
tionate amount of circulation as it may he
needed „
The Secretary thinks it is important that
Southern State Banks should have an op
portunity to become National Banks, other
wise, by the operation of a law in the Uni
ted States, they will he compelled to wind
j up after the first of next July, and that it
is a matter of great importance that pro
! visions should be made lo meet the wants
i of those States which have been in rebel
non.
Banking facilities are necessary to de
velop the industrial interest of tlie South,
and to stimulate the production of those
i staples which enter so largely into the fi
nancial interests of the country.
An Incident ok tiie Bar.—Some of
•the disciples of Themis in the rural dis
tricts of the Empire State oftcu take a
lofty flight.
“May it please the eourt,” said a lawyer,
before a Dutch justice, the other day.
“this is a case of the greatest importance.
While the American eagle, whose sleepless
eye watches over the welfare of this mighty
republic, and whose wings extend from
the Allcghanics to the rocky chain of the
West, was rejoicing in the pride of place.”
I “Shtop dare, shtop dare, I say. Vat
hav dis to do mit wild eagle? Dis has
nottin to do mit the wild bird. It ish von
sheep!” exclaimed the justice
“True your honor; but my client has
! rights here.”
“Ye’s client has no right to the eagle.”
i “Of course not; but by the laws of
language.”
j “ Vat cares I for de laws of de language?
: I understandt do laws of dc State, andclat
ish enough vor me. Confine you talk to
\ de case.”
“Well, then my client, the defendant in
| this case, char ged with stealing a sheep,
ja'id—” . .
“Datvilldo—datvilldo. Your client
I is charged mit stealing a sheep. Yust
i nine shillin. The gourt vill adjourn to
BiU Yorguson’s to drink some lager”
IPSISP " ---—
Sopno Anvrc’K to Parents,—The Philadel
phia Ledger, under the head of thirty Indul
gence of Appetites.” gives this sound advice.
Parents should ponder well on the danger
of an early and capricious indulgence of the
appetites and imaginary wants of their ehild
• run. Repetition soon becomes a habit, and
once formed, even in childhood, will often
remain during the whole of after life, acquiring
strettg.lt every year, nuti11 at last it sets all,
; human and divide, at defiance. Let parents
who yield to the cries of their children for
I dainty and promiscuous food, or who allows
them to torment domestic animals or to strike
| person, consider well on tho consequences.
; Is the mother afraid of an expresion of passion,
1 bribe isloo often promised in the shape of a
cake or tart, as a pence offering. Does it
annoy ajvliolo company by its boisterous or ill
timed pranks it is persuaded to he quiet by the
promise of sonic sweetmeats. If ii has been
good, as the phrase is. and learned its letters,
the reward is still too frequently something
for the stomach. Eating is regarded ns the
chief end and object of life by a child, who
sees in it the chief incentive to good behavior.
A premium would truely seem to he given for
gluttony. The use of the nobler senses, and
of the faculties of the mind, the early cultiva
tion of ihe kindlier and better feeling of our
I nature—generosity, disinterestedness, pity.
I filial Jove—all are overcome or postponed in
■ 1 favor of the one sensual, selfish and absorbing
| ! act of gormandizing.
pj Works in Usk.—The number of words that
wore contained in Dr. Webster's first diction
^ a A of tlie Ehglish language was from 70, 000
• to" 80.000. After several revisions of the
edition of Webster's Dictionary published in
18o9 contained 00,808 words. Professor
, Worcester's Dictionary contains about 104,
i 000, and the latest edition of Webster more
’ ' than l14.(KM) words. Yet. in languages eon
> ! tabling such a copious supply of words very
i few are used. The peasant in many parts
. of England do not make use of more than
s 1 800 words out of the 114,000 in the dictionaries,
j A well educated person, either American or
i, English seldom use more than about 8,000
words for ordinary conversation. Accurate
e thinkers and close rensoners, who avoid
i, vague expressions, employ a large stock and
,C eloquent speakers, who enjoy a large command
. of language, may sometimes rise to the em
. plov mont of 10,000 words. Shakespeare,
s i whose variety of expression is remarkable,
wrote all his plays with about 10,000 different
words. .Milton used but 8.IMHI; and in the
I, Old Testament there are but 5, Old different
o words.
