Human Qreatami.
Sir.Tohn Mason, privy connsoller to |
Henry VIII, spoke as follows upon his
death-bed:
"1 haie scon live prince*, and been i
privy counsellor of four.—I have seen
the most remarkable things abroad, and '
been present at most state transactions
for thirty years. After all tills experi- j
ence, 1 have learned this: that serious-!
ness is most commendable, tempernuce '
the best physic, and a good conscience
the best estate. Were I to live again,
lwoutd change the court for the clois
ter; my privy comisellor's bustio for
the retirement of a hermit;. and the
whole time which I have spent in the
palace, for one hour's communication
with God.
When I look upon the tombs of the
great, every emotion of envy dies,
when I read the epitaphs of th|; beauti
ful, every inordinate desire forsakes
me ; when I meet with the griet of pa
rents upon tho tombstone, my heart
melts with compassion ; when leeethe
tombs of the parents themselves, I re
fllect how vain it is to grieve for those
whom wo must quickly follow ; when
I see kings lying by the side of those
that deposed them—when I behold ri
val wits placed sid * by side, or the ho
ly men who divided tire world with
their contests and disputes—I reflect
with sorrow' and astonishment on the
frivolous competitions, factious and
debates of mankind ; when I read tho
several dates on the tombs, of whom
some died yesterday, and some siS hun
dred years ago, 1 am reminded of that
day when all mankind will be contem
poraries, and make their appearance
together.—Addison.
Farming Maxim*.
1. That, however well prepared a
toil may be, it cannot nourish a long
succession of crops without becoming
exhausted.
2. Each harvest impoverishes the soil
to a certain extent, depending upon the
degree of nourishment which it re
stores to the earth.
3. The cultivation of spindle roots
ought to succeed that of running aud
superficial roots.
4. It is necessary to avoid returning
too soon to the cultivation of the same,
or to analogous kinds of vegetables, in
the same soil.
5. It is very unwise to allow two |
kinds of plants, which adnjit of the i
ready growtli of weeds among them, to j
be raised in succession.
6. Those plants that derive their |
principal support from the soil should j
not be sown, except when the soil is '
sufficiently provided with manure.
7. "When the soil exhibits symptoms
of exhaustion from successive harvests,
the cultivation of those plants that re
store moisture to the soil must be re
sorted to.
These principles aro confirmed by
experience; they form the basis of a
system of agriculture rich in its pro
ducts, butniore rich in its economy, by ;
the dmiinulion of the usual quantity of*
labor and manure. All cultivators
ought to be governed by them, but
their application must be modified by
the nature of soils and climates, and
the particular wants of each locality.
--- . i
Size of Farm*.
If farmers who have poor farms of j
large size were to curtail the dimen- |
sions of their corn fields fifty per cent.(
and expend the amount they saved in
labor in manure, they would be enabled
iu a few years, devoted to such policy,
to improve all their arable lands, and
bring their entire estates into a condi
tion of profitable fertility. And while
this would be going on, they would
find by the increase of manure applied
to their coni land, nnd attention to its
culture, that their corn crop would
rather increase than decrease. The
great fault with us all is, that we
attempt to achieve too much, and ow
ing to that circumstance, fail of achiev
ing anything worthy of the character
of good farmers. It should be the
policy and pride of all to do whatever
we do well, rather than too ambitious
nf doinsr much, Large corn fields I
unmanured, and but half tended, ns is
too often the case with many of us, re
flect no credit upon their individual
owners, and are actually discreditable
to the husbandry of the country.
Working llie ground while It la
Wet!
The temptation is often great to use
a fair month for the preparation of the
•oil for crops before the water is suffi
ciently dried off, or drained out of it,
to warrant its being stirred at all.
Thus the gain of forty-eight hours in
time Is often a serious detriment to the j
field for the entire season. Light
sandy loams arc not injured in this j
way, but every clayey loam is, and as |
a general rule so is any soil that ever!
dries in lumps. The plow presses the I
fhrrow slices into clods, which often
dry like pressed bricks ; and the tread
ing of the teams in harrowing makes
bad worse, though the harrow tears
them up somewhat. Even heavy loam
may be worked into a light, porous,
warm seed-bed if in proper condition
lor plowing before being worked.
Characteb.—We may judge a man’s
character by what lie loves—what
pleases him. If a person manifests de
light in low, sordid objects—(he vul
gar song and debasing language, in the
misfortune of his fellow s, in cruelty to
animals, we may Rt once determine
the complcxtlon of his character. On
the contrary, if he loves purity, mod
esty, truth—if virtuous pursuits engage
his heart and draw out his aU'cctioui
—we are satisfied that he is an upright
man.
•SrLife may change, but it will not .
fly till the appointed hour; hope may !
vanish for a time, but it is deuthless : ,
truth may he veiled, hut it endures; ,
and love may he repulsed, hut it re
turns.

The Emblem or Democracy.
EiutorStatesman; Why is it that the
Democratic party adopt the "rooster” as
.ho emblem of victory ? Please explain.
Democrat.
Because the game rooster is the gamest
>ird, when encroached upon by his fel
ows, that ever existed, and the Democracy
s the gamest party that ever voted at an
flection or resented oppression. Both
:he party and its emblem, when they go
nto the fight, make it a matter of life or
leath. Both may be whipped, but not
.omjuerod, for giving up, when once in
flic fight, is a word up known to the prac
tice of the rooster, and it is not found in
the Democratic vocabulary.
This is one reason for adopting the
rooster as the emblem of Democracy, an
atber reason is this:
During the war of 181- the British
fleet on Lake Champlain was attacked by
the American fleet under Couimodoro
McDonough. The fleet of McDonough,
much inferior to that of the English,
suffered terribly in the first part of the
battle. At the moment when it was rag
ing fiercest—the heaviest fire of the ene
my directed against the flag-ship of Mo
Donough—his men driven from their
^uns by the fierce cnnnouudp, and dismay
latupon every countenance, and the storm
)f iron hail, which seemed to threaten
instruction not only to the ship but to
’very living soul therein, was at its height,
i cannon ball struck a -chicken coop and
knocked it to pieces, killing all it contain
ed but a moment before, save only a game
rooster, whose battered comb bore the
marks of many a death fight. Flying up
du the bulwarks of McDonough’s flag-ship,
the noble bird, undaunted by the noise
ana coniusion ana carnage aruuuu nun,
with clarion voice rang out his notes of
Refinance and victory.
Sailors are very superstitions, and when,
in the pause of the thunder of the ene
my’s cannon, they heard the shrill “cock
a-doodle-doo” of the undaunted bird, they
gathered new courage, and repairing again
to their guns, returned anew the fire of
the enemy, cheered by tbc loud crow of
tho emblem of Democracy, until the bat
tle ended, and McDonough, on Lake
Champlain, like the Democracy of Ohio,
was victorious over the enemies of the
country.
Every naval historian makes mention
of the fact, and history says that the bra
very shown on that occasion by the rooster
was the cause of the victory, by the
renewed courage it gave to the sailors of
McDonough's fleet.
From that day to this, in political con
tests, the rooster has been the Democratic
emblem of victory, and when it is seen in
the act of sending forth its “cock-a doo
dle-do” at the head of a Democratic news
paper, it is right to say that tho country
is safe, for the victory is with the Democ
racy.
The gallant birds that grace our columns,
crowing over Ohio redeemed from Aboli
tion misrule, are believed to be, if not
lineal descendants, living likenesses of the
one that cheered McDonough and his men
on to victory in 1812.—Ohio Statesman.
