Faox THI ASHICAW filVIl, An effectual jn'cthod cf preserving poultry I, houses free from vermin. Sir : At I do not know that you have pos itively interdicted all communication from f armcrmc, I must ask you to record a grand discovery, which I consider myself to have made,4 in the noblcrart of raiting poultry, .. it ma) save much trouble to4my sister house ' wives, to whom, according to the order pre scribed by the lords of the creation, this de partment of domestic economy has been as signed. It is well known, that in this branch of our humble duties, the greatest difficulty arises from our poultry houses being so much infested with vermin or, to be more plain, jnjJ5. 1HS f lh Paltry-yard, with .chicken lice. Now, I have proved by long experi ence, that they will not resort to houses where in the roosts, nest boxes, Sec. are made of .tat: taras wood You may smile, and ask me the reason of it : I tell you I am no philosopher our business, you know, is with plain duty and matter of fact, almost denied the faculty v, of reason, and positively forbidden to excr cise what we have ; hence a learned woman, you know, is the most odious animal in crea- V tion, and a lady dare not read a word of nat- "Avural philosophy, at the expense of never get ting married. But I tell you sassafras wood , will keep lice out of hen-houses : I know it tojbe a fact, and when you will tell me, why "& irrrat chips of cedar wood or tobacco will JL. keep woollen. free frorn moth, then I will en---tleavour toell you why it is, that sassafras wood will keep away chicken lice one is uni versally Known to bevtrueThe other one less " tru's; though less known. :. - - ,v A SPINSTER. Omissions, &e. From an essay in the Democratic 'rr, (Phil adelphia,) on the election of President, wc make the following extracts, as showing the efficiency of a Republican Government, its superiority, in ""every re spe'eti overa monarchical; and the claims it has to the aflectionsand support of every Ame rican. The seeming opposition of interests be tween different sections of our country, the hon est but erroneous opinions of some, and the am bitious designs of others, may create occasional contentions and sectional jealousies, causing a- . larm, and threatening danger to the Union : but we cannot believe that the enlightened and free people of this happy country, will ever letkpas- ; sion of prejudice, or want of reflection, lead them - to break asunder those cords which bind us to- fcether, and render us a great, a powerful, and a respectable nation : that they will ever consent to rlsT( allihaposiiive blessings which they now en- joylMbcafctyhichhey-nov-feelr-all-the prospects which lie before them, to obtain an ad ditional but doubtful good, or to remove a ores- - ent evil, whcnthc t fleets oT its removal miht produce a greater onthan that attempted to be got, rid of. ut our only motive in the com mencement ofthese remarks, was to recommend the following etnaa serious :;.rcflcctionio.if oureaders : Monarchist and aristocrats o1ject to demo rratic institutici their alleged liability to irista lility and turbulenccr .But look at the practical demonstrations ltterlyextarit.

While the President of the United States owes his elevation to the unanimity of universal suf frage, the only popular monarch In Europe obtai ned his crown by the strangling of his father Count Capo D'lMria, a highly accomplished min inter of (hat monarch, (by birth a Corsicnn,) ex cused the holy alliance to an American gentle man by saying, that, as there were tliirly-tight millions of barbarians of the forty millions com puting the Russian empire, such strong guards were indispensable to the throne. The monarrhs "of Europe "tax : their subjects to maintain a million of men in arms, as has been I itcly truly s;iid by Durdctt. for no other purpose, now in peace and prosperity, than to make war on their own subjects. The people of these Uni ted Slates pay no taxes, have. scarcely any army, and can change their rulers whenever they please. Does not the unanimous re-election of a chief magistrate prove that democratic institutions Are not only the cheapest and wisest, but the steadi est m the world f . While all the scaffolds of Europe are contin ually reddening with traitors' blood, not a traitor has ever been executed in this country. While all the prisons of Europe are crowded with rebels and scditionists, not' a symptom of turbulence or insubordination exists here ; and sedition, like toleration, is a thing unknown, be cause there is no action for it. 44 These glances at things comprise, it is sup posed, some reasons why a presidential re-election is, in the abstract, a desirable event, as evi dence' of that virtue, which is said to be the vital spirit of republics." NEW SYSTEM OF BANKING. -From an advertisement, signed 44 Leroy Pope, President of the Planters' and Mechanics' Bank of Huntsville," we learn that the said Hank will "receive cotton on consignment, and ship the same, on account and risk of the owners, to any port in the United States, and will advance, on delivery of the cotton in Huntsville, ten cents per pound, and will pay the balance of the net pro ceeds, at the Huntsville Hank, as soon as the cot ton is sold and the money received " This is the only instance in the United States where a Dank has become a Commission Mkkchant !

He told the lad that it was not at present in the collection ; but soon would be. Anxious to know the real drift of the lad, he conveyed him to the professor of Mathematics in the.L luversity, whor after- some conversation, exclaimed to the Librarian, 14 If this lad is properly encourapd, he will turn me out of my chair in a few years. .

The art was introduced into England in 1471, by Wm. Cuxton, only four years be fore this book was finished We find the name and era of the printer on Thomas's List, thus stated : " Cologne, John KoelhofT, 1470," which was the date at which he commenced the trade, which he had probably learnt of the first printer on types. There are in the Library of Congress ma ny curiosities in Literature, more valuable than tnis book, but none so oldi Among them js Debree Collection of Voyages, in three volhmes folio, a work so scarce that a copy vf.it is valued, in an English catalogue of rare books, at twelve hundred pounds ster ling ! There is also Purchas'i Pilgrimage, a single small volume, valued at fifty pounds, and many others in equally high esteem, of which Congress became possessed by the for tunate chance of obtaining, by purchase, Mr, JefJcrson's Library.

Pause and contemplate her enviable station at the hour of these unhappy nuptials ! The created world could scarce! r exhibit a more interesting spectacle. There was no earthly bliss of which she was not either in the possession or the ex pectancy; Jloyal alike by birth and by alliance ; honored as the choice of England's heir, reputed hs the most accomplished gentleman in Europe ; her reputation spo'Jess as the unfallen snow ; her approach heralded by a people's prayer, and her footsteps obliterated by an obsequious noSility ; her youth, like the lovely season which it typi fied, one crowded garland of rich and fragrant blossoms, refreshing every eye with present beauty, and filling every heart with promised benefits I No wonder that she feared no famine in that spring-tide of her Inppincss ; no wonder that her speech was rapture, and her step was HOW TBI ALB AX Y 0 AXETTF.

You had a world to choose, and she was your selection ; your ages were compatible ; your births were equal ; you had'drawn her from the house where she was honorable and happy ; you had a prodigal allowance showered on you by the people ;.you had bowed your unointed head before the altar, and sworn by its majesty to cherish and protect her, and this you did in the presence of that mo ral nation from whom you hold the crown, and in the face of that church of which you were the guardian. The ties which bound you were of no ordinary texture ; you stood not in the situation of some secluded profligate, whose brutal satiety illicit leave its victim to a death of solitude where no eye could see, nor echo tell the quive rings of her agony.
