AGRICUIiTUUE.
CAUTION TO SILK CULTURISTS.
Stafford, Va., May 15, 1841.
To the Editor of the Farmers’ Register.
As the season for beginning the rearing of silk
worms is near at hand, and as some of yonr readers
will commcnco the business this summer, I hope
you will give space in tlie Register for a few brief
cautions, that may be useful to the inexperienced.
1. To ail new beginners I say, do nothatch too
many worms at first, nor expect to derive much pro
fit from your first experiment. The knowledge de
rived from experience, which alone can enable you
to conduct the business with economy of labor, will
amply remucrate in subsequent operations all who
will have patience and persevhrance enough to pur
sue the business a iiu!licient time to learn how to
manage it well.
2. Bev/are of expending much for new and high
ly putTed fixtures, until you learn from experience
that they will accomplish all, or nearly all, that their
inventors anti advocates claim for them. An old
practice has been sent t’orth \inder a new name, (the
“non-cleaning system,"’) which, I fear, will be pro
ductive of mischief in several ways. 7'he general
impression made on the minds of the inexperienced
is, that cleanlinesa maybe dispensed with. Beware
of practising on tliis opinion. I have fed with bran
ches for several seasons, as late as the 25th of June,
and the plan works well, with proper attention to
cleaning, and v/hen the mulberry trees are judi
ciously pruned. Tlie mulberry trees must not be
pruned at the lartliest later than the 1st of July, and
then the pruning should be conducted with regulari
ty, and the ground plougljcd or hoed, iiiimediaioly
after the operation. "Witii a sharp pruning bill take
off from 1 to 2 feet of the top, and cut every lateral
branch close to the main stem. Trees pruned ins
this manner, and cultivated inimcdlately, will yield
an abundant supply oi leaves, the next year, and
you will have a wcil-balanced tree; bat if one or
two small branches be left, they will attract nearly
all the sap, and the shoots from the other joints ot
the stem will be feeble. But a reckless mowing
down of the trees in July and August will soon end
in their destruction. This practice iias been known
to destroy the elder, (.;anibucus nigra.) that kardij
pest of American farmers.*
c>. LeavTs gathered in tiie heat of tlie day must
be spread and stirred with a stick before they are
gi\ en to the silk-worm?. If giv*en to them when
warm they produce desease. And whenever large
quantities of leaves aro brought to the feeding roon\
to be kept even for one or two hours, care should
be taken to spread them in thin layers. If fermen
ted leaves be given to the Avorms, their destruction
will certainly follow; although most of them mav
live until near tlie period for spinning.
1. Let tlie silk-worms have (especially in tlie hst
age) an abundant supply of fresh air. The win
dows should be kept partiuliy open, at least, day
and m^ht. and even during thunvlcr storms. A
rnodem iuventor has li)und out that tiie admission of
the exterior air is not v'cry iniportarif. He ventilates
the worms, and is not solicitous about keeping up
currents of air througli the building. Beware of
tl'iis crude ::n 1 ncur-fangled notion.
5. After the v.'onns iiave formed the cocoons, at
tend carefully to the directions for killing the chrysa
lides, found in the Farmers’ Rgeister and the Jour
nal of the American Silk Society. If the use of
camphor, as recommended by ?»Iiss Rap, should be
practised, strict regard to her directions, as to time
cliitdhood IS capable. Nohting aflorded me enjoy
ment in which she did not participate; no amuse
ment \vas sought which we could not share together.
That morning we had prolonged our play till
near the hour of breakfast, w'ith undiminished ar
dor, when at some slight provocation, my impetu
ous nature broke fortli, and in my anger, I struck
my sister a blow with my hand. She turned to me
with an appealing look and the tears came into her
eyes. Her heart was too full to allow her to speak,
and shamed me to silence. At that moment the
breakfast bell summoned us away, and we returned
to the house without exchanging a word. The ex
citement of play was over, and as she sat beside my
mother at breakfast, I percieved by occasional glan
ces at her that she was pale and sad. A tear seem
ed ready to start in her eye, which her little self poss
ession could scarcely repress. It v/as only when my
mother inquired if she was ill, that she drank her
cofiee, and endeavored to eat. I was ashamed and
grieved, and inwardly resolved to embrace the first
opiwrtunity when we were alone, to throw my arms
round her neck and entreat her forgivcnesss.
When breakfast was ended, my mother retired
with her into her own room, and directing me in
the meantime to sit down to my lesion. 1 seated
niyself by the window and ran over my lesson, but
did not learn it. My thouhgts were perpetually re
curring to the scene in the garden and at table' It
was long before my mother returned, anti when
she did, it was with agitated look and hurried step,
to tell me that my poor Ellen was very ill. 1 ask
ed eagerly if I might go to her, but was not per
mitted, lest I should disturb her. A physician was
called, and every means used for her recovery, but
to no purpose. The disease, which was in her
head, constantly increased in violence, and she be
came delirious. It was not until evening that I
was permitted to see her, and wa.s soon taken out
of the room. During that night, and the follow
ing, she continutnl to grow worse. I saw her se.v-
eral times, but she was insensible of my presence.
Once indeed, she showed some signs of concious-
noss, and asked for me, but relapsed into her former
state.
On the morning of the third day, I rose at an
early hour and repaired to the- sick room. My
mother was sitting by the bed. As I ontjred, she
drew me to her, ani for some tiino was silent while
tears flowed fast down her lace. I first l(‘arn :d that
my sweet sister w’as dead, as )uy mother drew asi lj
the curtain that conceahil her IVdui me. I fell as
though my heart woul 1 brealc. Tlrj rememl)ranc
of her afiection for me. and my l ist unlcind detd.
reviv. d in inj’-niind; and bur^'inj luv face ui tlir
folds of the cm tain, I wept l^ng an I bkteily.
1 saw her laid in the coiiin, and lo.vrr'd Ui\o ih.
grave. 1 almost wished to lie down tiieie wish
lier, if so I might once more se»' her smile, and
hear my forgiv'cness pronounce.l in iic; sweet voice.
\ ears have passed away, and 1 am now a man,
but nevt'r does the recollection of this incident of
my early life fail to awaken bitter feelings of :>rief
and remorse. An 1 never do J sec my young
friends exciiange looks or words of anger, wilh-
out thinking oi my last parting with iny ovv’ii loved

The hour was rapidly appiodchiiig \vKcn his iord-
ship usually took his round, and he would infalli
bly miss his favorite ram. What w'as to be done ?
To tell a LIE appeared to his honest mind the
very essence of degradation—to Eq,uivocate was
meanness execrable—yet an excuse must be had !
A sudden thought seized him—he resolved to, see
how a lie w'ould look before he told it; and plant
ing his crook in the field, and placing his hat on it,
in order to personate himself, he retired to a short
distance, and in the character of his lordship, hailed
the effigy as follows:
“Good morrow, Darby.”
“ Good morrow, my lord.” -
“ How are the flocks to day, Darby?”
Pretty fair, my lord.”
“ Darby, I don’t see my favorite ram—where is
he ? ”
‘‘Oh, my lord, he ^he he ”
“He what, Darby?”
He was drowned—my—my lord.”
Darby, if I did not knovV your gtnf'ic.1 charac
ter for carefulness, I s'lould feel cxT^edingly annoy
ed, but 1 prrsum-' it w.is an accid._:it., Send the fit
and hide up to the caslle.”
‘•That weu't do!” inurrnnrcd Duby, slowly
turning aw'ay. He resolved to try again.
‘•Good morrow, Dai by.”
“ Good morro^v, my lord.”
“ Are the flocks well to-day. Darby ?”
“ Bravely, my lord.”
“ And my ram. Darby, where is he?”
My lord, he h-.-^^ ”
“ Is there any wrong i' t'll moat once.”
He was sto-b'u, my lord.”
“ Stolen ! stolen ! I smv him this morning as I
was riding past! When vvas he stol. n ?”
“ That won’t do eitln r exclaimed the j)Oor shep
herd. as he turned away the scconl time . ^ Ctu-
el, crut 1 Cauth !”
SoiiU thing seemed to whisp'erto hiin, Try it, per-
hajisthe TRUTH will do!” FK’shcouragi seem
ed to animate his d'^sponding mind, and wlieeling
about, he cominf'iicfd the colloquy, an 1 coming to
the usual ititerrogation, “ where’s tiie ra.m” hr drop
ped his knees, and »‘xclaimed, Oil, my lord, I
liad a jailing out with hiy swcetiieait, an 1 she would
not ill ike it up witli me unless 1 tnado her a present

The publishers of the Globe have recently given
to tfie country an exposition of the motives which
prompted the attempt by the Federal party to pros
trate their establishment, by the lawless abro«ation
of their contract as Printers to the Senate. They
showed that there were already six Federal news
papers—to which a seventh is about to be added—
])ublished at Washington—all devoted to the dis
semination of Federal principles, and the defence of
Federal measures. And to make this ov'erwhelm-
ing battery of Federrd presses at the seat of gov
ernment tell with the more efi’ect throughout the
Union, the character of the Globe was to be tarnish
ed, its means impoverished, and its political influ
ence destroyed, bj/ a sweeping denunciation of in-
(ainy on the part of the Federal leaders in the Sen
ate—by throwing the dead weight of an expendi
ture of !$10,000 in preparation to do the Congress
ional work, on the hands of its publishers, (the prin
ters whose contract was violated,) and by having
this whole work of defamation and ruin accomplish
ed by the judgment of the Senate of the Union to
give it the sanction of the highest tribunal knov»’n
to our country. The work was done by a caucus
paclred majority of Fedcrali.-3ts, and the Editors of
the Globe are left to sustain their establishment by
the patronage they nuiy recieve iVom political friends
tor the papers they pub'isli. We will not ask or re
ceive the sort of lunqting contribution by which the
banks and Federal politicians sustain their presses.
We will abandon t!ie publication of tlie Globe, if it
c.aanot be supported by the regular eubscription
price of the i)a{)er. If' such of oar Democratic
friends whose circumfitances do not justify a sub
scription to the daily or semi-weekly-paper, will pa
tronize the cheaper publications issued by us—the
Extra Globe—the Congressional Globe, and the
Appendix—we shall l»e enabled to maintain as here-
toiore, our corps ot' Congres.sional Reporters at the
cost of .'jjiU.OOO j)or anmnn, and to draw to our aid
some of the able.st pens in our country. We trust,
under tiiese circumstaces, and at a time when the
greatest interests of tJie country, and its future des
tiny, are put at stake upon the events with which
tlie first year of' the pr0r>ent Administration is j-reg-
natU, that no individual who has the cause of De
mocracy at heart, will hesitate to meet this appe.al,
when at the same time he will feel assured that this
trifling tax for his ov/n advantage, v.dll sustain in
triumph at "Washington the long-tried and faithful
press of his party.
Tnn EXTRA'gLORE will be published weekly
for six months, comnir'ncing on Wednesday, the
, l!ith ?>Iay. and ending on the lUth November next.

^ ers and the; public generally, that he has dispo-
sed cn^re stock of Groceries, Liquors, &c. to
Mr. John B. Rtmeche of Lincolnton, and will ciose
his business m Charlotte on Thursday of the ensn
mg April County Court. Until then, however, he
will continue m busmes^ at his old s^and, and be glad
to accommodate his customers with every article in
the Grocery hnc, on the most reasonable terms
J. O’F. gives this early notice of his intention lo
close business, m order that all who owe him^ either
by note or book account, may have due time to come
forward and make settlement, which he earnestly re
quests them to do between this and Court, for his
notes and accounts must positively then be closed.

CUT WOP.M vs. CRICKET
A discoveiy tooi? place a few days ago, tliat was
entirely new* to us. One of our citizens observ'cd
that much of ins corn was cut off immediately
above the ground ; and in many instances the blades
drawn into small holes made in the fjround near by.
The appearance of the mischief was so like that of
tlie cut worm, that hostilities ivere immediately com
menced for the purpose of destroying as many of;
those vile intruders as possible, by pursuing them
into their retreats—dragging them out by violence,
and executing them in a most cruel manner, without
benefit of clergy, or even granting them, a her.ring
in their own defence ! But how great wan the as-
tonishraent, when instead of the disgustmgand sav
age cutworm, was found the unsuspected Cridcet,
that, like many otlier animals with more sagacity,
A’tlio oflen annoy the community, had been commit
ting depredations on the credit of others. The in
sect is not the ordinary black or brov/n cricket often
seen in our fields; or at least if it is, it has not yet ac
quired its full growth or usual color; being smaller

V A RIRTY.
MY SISTER.
Our young readers may learn from the follow
ing aflectmg story the importance of being kind at
all times to their brotiiers and sisters, and Indeed to
all around them. Let them remember too, that
their own hves are uncertain, and that they ought
to live every day as though it should be tliier last.
We know not ‘what a day may bring forth.’
One morning in my early life, I remember to
have been playing with a yotmg sister, not then
three years old. It wms one of those bright morn-
iags, that bring joy and life to the heart, and difiuse
gladness and admiration through all the tribes of liv
ing creatures. Our feelings w'ere in perfect bar*
mony wdth the universal gladness of nature. • Even
novv I seem to hear the merry laugh of my sis
ter, as she follow*ed me through the wdnding alleys
of the garden, her cheek suffused wdtk the glow of
Jiealth and animation, and her weaving hair floating
in the wind. She wms an only sister°the sole conT-
panion of all my childish sport. We were con-
btantly together; and my young heart wxnt to hers-
v/ith all the affection, ali the fondness, of which
merry enough
without it, where s the use in taking it ? That
stream can slake my thirst as well. °Yet I’ll not
speak fbi otheis many a one there are, wdio must
have strong drink to give them false spirits. On
them will I spend it to open their hcart.s, and make
them forget their day’s toil.”
^ aie a woitliy leilow, and a philosopher ”
said Lord Amplefield, with a look of triumph as
he and the squire rode off What say you to my
shepherd now ?”
“A mighty plausible fellow inleed • Yet
proud as you are of him, my lord, I bet a score of
sheep that before two days I’ll „uke him tell you
a bare-faced lie, out and out.”
“ Done!” s.iid his lordship, and the squire set
out on his LiE-making expedition. i
He soon ascertained the cause of Darby’s mrl-
ancholy. There had been a quarrel between him
and the girl of his heart, the lovely Cauthleen.
Pride prevented a reconciliation, “though both
\\ould have given the world to be in cach other’s
arms. To her the squire bent his steps, succeeded
m drawmg out the secret that she loved Darby
with a ln^art and a half, and then artfully upbraid-
mg her unkindness in neglecting the “ worthy
young fellow,” wdio was dying for her, contrived
to inveigle her, by a series of fiilsehoods, into a plan
to get reconciled to Darby, and while hi the heio-ht
of his happiness, to coax the ram from him '"it
succeeded next to admiration, and the laughino- n-irl
