" ' j have scattered many a furrow and whose only hope irf the care and tur- moil of "life's bleak waste, is the bles- sea assurance, perchance of a happy immortality! There is something in the silent precincts of the "narrow .house," where all the undisturbed lie togetherthe 7 mighty and the noble in state magnificent in their ruin, and the one above whose silent breast and mouldering forni on storied mon ument or sepulchred marble tells how he ended his existence:- There is' something I say, in all this, which would bow the mighty to the earth, and cause the humble slave to walk with a proud heart, and kindle the eye before him who hates hhn. This is a common place theme -but the mind of man reverts often at it acrainst ;his will. There is nought which gives such blunt to the distinctions of earth; which by reflection will subdue every cause -of envy, as this simple and all important theme. Look at the mighty of old; the philosophers and statesmen of years gone by! Where are thev? Ilow many foreOtten? j tA heir J., arc, Cambering in the lamp of obliv ion; the wave of time hath swept even their historians into the boundless sea of ctcrnitv the fallen wall conceals their sepulchres in the lonely ashes of their forefathers and the niglitjwinds sigh among their ruins, where once the song of joy and the burst of gladness stole forth from the heart of glee; and the lustre of many an eye is shrouded in the deep grave's night, which kindled with love and looked abroad on the varied scenes of nature witliT admiration and delight. Alas! the pride of man has gone down with him into the dust! it withers ; when the lamp of this transient exis- tence flickers into' the long slumbering of the . tomb! Whero are they who sounded the. clarion of war along the rqusetl have gone to restthe castles, which have been subdued and won, on whose walls the spear glittered, and the cannon pealed, have crumbled into dust; the iVy lingers about the decay-? ing turrets; the raven builds her nest in the casement, and sends upon the air of midnight her desolating mail ings the owl .hoots where the song was heardand man, proud man, who once fought and won; he who reared the structure, "Sleeps where all must slfep." His memory is not in the bosom of i - ages, ana ne is i lorgimeu; i ? r . . i Should not these things; the mutabili ty and earthly grandeur, pour in the soul, deep and fastening prepara tions for the great, and last change, when a loner and dreamless slumber falls upon man?

Lin- j coin, of Winchester, recommending t that hams, after beuiK smoked, should be packed away :'i.n oats.

To give the best proof of the beautiful state of preservation secured by this method, I send you a ham "weighing II 3-4 pounds you will find it perfectly fresh and full of essence tree from all sorts of speck or blemish. Those practising this mode of preserving their bacon free from skippers or taint of any kind, should recollect that the chest or cask should be perfectly tight, and raised about six inches from the surface of the ground, and the oats packed in quite1 right. A ham of this site should be boiled 3 1-2 hours at least. ' ''-.'. ' ? ;:-.'. v. r. A writer , for a paper called Tc Genius Liberty who sigps "John Potter" says, 'tl have, for more than 20 years past, kept meat hanging up in my smoke house, through the sum mer season,! and no lly or bug has iu- ! jured it. "To prevent such injury, I take clean, strong lyjp, made of wood ashes; I commonly lioil it, to make it stron ger than it generally runs ofT, then I lake my bacon tK. smoked beef, hav ing t wo or three ' gallons of the lye in a large iron kettle, I take each piece of meat, and dip it into the lye, so that it is completely jwetted with it, then I let it dry; then I hang the meat in its former place. By thii process I have invariably found that it kept the meat free from bugs and worms, and no taste of lye is ever perceived, not e- ven on the outside. " , V FRUIT - TREES. A ; J Apple, Pear and Quince trees, may be propagated by slips, cither simple stuck in the ground, pr as some prefer, by planting them in ; the manner of grape cuttings. Trees raised in this way bac the' same kind; of fruit, as the trees from' which they Ijac been 'cut. Either of these fruits rjay be had tvithout a core, or seed, by grafting the top end of the rraft instead of the loxver end. ! Caterpillars, however numerous on a' tree, may be promptly destroyed, by bor inr an aujref hole rather more than half through the body of the tree, then fill the hole withisulphur finely powdered,; a fdug corresponlent to the size of -the auger, must then bo drircn in as tight as possible, and sawed off even with the tree. In a few. days the insects will be I'dead. .- ;.. f-;.r ' ' A Fruitful Tree. In my garden in this place, I have an Apple tree, which produced three crops of fruit in the sum mer and fill of 1823, being the first o! its bearing. In! April, the tree was in full bloom: acrain1 in July, and in Septem ber, it again spot forth bloom. From each of these bloomings, fruit was form ed the first; two brought fruit of full size, the third! crop did not attain a size larger than a small plumb The same tree bore two crop of apples the last year - ' j ';"."' !-.

The follow ing passage we cannot too highly recommend to the numer ons crowH ofvnunp rxren in' Our coun try who seek to? be Riders and Law makers. The advice is remarkably good, and cannot fail of a certain in fluence upon the ambitious aspirant for office. We fear we have too ma nv amonc us., like GLAUCON, ivho have a wish to benefit the, State with- out having thought or determined upon the modus' operandi. The ex tract is from Flint's clcellent Monthly Review. One day Socrates, having met af whicb should sef important young gentlem; oC cl.cuuon ui uldmakemen med Glaucon, -you nave tney eii? - , , bv Uie.

IfvoA succeed, you will be in a condition to serve your friends, aggrandize your family, and extend lhf bounds of your country. You will be known not on ly in Athens, but in all Greece; and perhaps your renown will reach neo barbarous nations, like that of Theinis toclcs. Y ou will I w tli cuttiwf f cys;nd you "will attract to yourself ' the respect and admiration of the i u-nr , a ..ki ?.. . .. i "l uun.-s mi lusmuaunp, su flattering, delighted the young man, who immediately succumbed under his besetting weakness. He remained iu silent rapture; and the other continu- ed, 'since you desire rstcem and horw our, it is clear, that you think, also bi renderinir vourself useful to thr nnb- i ! i. . , . -. , ' lie.' Assuredly. Tell me then I pray i what is the irst service which you propose to render the stater" As Glaucoa appeared embarrasf ed ami was meditating hat reply he should make', apparently,' resumed Socrates, it will be to enrich, that is to augment the revenues.' The very same And .without doubt, you' kiiow, in what the revenues consisi' and how much can be raised? You cannot fail to have made that a par ticular study; that, if any great re source should suddenly fail, you might be able to replace it by another?' swear to you, "that this is the very point,! upon which I never thought 4Foint out to me, at lest, the e&pen- ditures of the republic; for j ou know of what importance it Is, to retrench all that are superfluous am obli- ged to avow to you, that I am no bet ter instructed upon this article than" llIe.other,! You must put otT, then, to some other time, the purpose which 'you. have to enrich the republic; for it i impossible for you to doit, if you a r& ignorant both of its revenues and ex penses. i The . conversation began not to he altogether 6 pleasant for the younjg' politician because it compelled hiia lo'tlie humiliating avowal of ignorance upop ' those very points, w here ho ought to have been best informectj Hope however, sustained his vanity; and profiting of an idea which ap peared to v him unanswerable. ft seems to me,' said he, that you pass in silence a mean, ase7icacious, as that, off which you have been speak ing. Can we not enrich the state by the ruin of its enemies?' 'Exactly s6. But to avail of this mean, we must be Uhc strbnerer nartv. OiIieric . run the risk of losing our on n instead; of gaining theirs. Thus he who speaks about undertaking p. war, must know the forces of the one, and the other; that, should he find his party the stronger, he may boldly counsel war; and if be find it the weaker dis suade the people from engaging in it. Do you know what a,re the forces of yoir republic, by land and sea; and what are those of your enemies Have vou this information reduced to writing?

It seems, . then, there are many things for you yet to -know, and much care of preparation yet to bebestowed. 1 He thus led the xounp man over many other; articles, upon which he found him equally hew, and caused him to touch, with his own finger, the ridiculousness of those, w ho have the temerity to inter meddle nhli govern ment, without bringing to it any richer preparation; than a great esteem for themselves, and a measureless ambi tion to mount the first places. Fear, my dear Glaucon, added hr, in conclusion, lcit a too vehement de sire of honor should blind you, and cause you to assume a part which would Cover you kith shame, in bring ing to - the fullest 1 liglit your .incapaci ty and "inexperience.' v f The Mail BoUtrsln Philadel phia on Thursday the Circuit Court of the U.
