We form judgments of men from little things about their house, of which the owner, perhaps, never thinks. In earlier years, when traveling in the West, where taverns were either scarce, or, in some places, unknown, and every settler's bouse, wasabouso of "entertainment,'' it was matter of some impor-tarco and somo experi nce to select wisely where you would put up. If there were no trees for shade; no patch of flowers in the yard, we were suspicious of tho place. But, no matter bow ludo the cnlin, or rough tho surroundings, if we saw that 'the window held little trough for flowers, and some vines twined around the strings lot down from the eaves, we were confident that thcro was some taste and carefulness in the log cabin. In a new country, where people) have to tug for a living, oo one frill take the trouble to rear flowers, unless the lovo of them is pretty strong and this tasto blossoming out of plain and uncultivated pcoplo is itself, like a clump of haro-bells growing out of tho seams f rock. We were seldom misled. A patch of flowers came to signify kind pcoplo, clean beds and good bread. - - But other signs are more significant in other states. of society. Flowers about a rich tnau's house mny signify only that he has a good gardener, or that be bas refined neighbors, and docs what ha sees thorn do. But men are not accustomed to buy books unless they want them. If, on visiting the dwelling of a man of slendor means, I find the reason why he has cheap carpets and very plain furniture, to be that be may purchase books, bs rises sconce in vaj esteem. Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else that so beautifully furnishes a house. The plainest row of books that cloth or paper over covered, Is more significant of refinement than the most claboratoly-carvod etagcre or sideboard. ,. . :- --... Give me a house fnrniaheel with books rather than furuituref '. Both, if rod can, but books at any ralel Te spend several day 'sin, friend's house, and hunger lor something to rend, whHo yDu ire treading1 on costly car, pets and sitting upon lnxurous chairs lud sleeping upon flown, is as it one were bribing your -body for the sake of cheating your mind. " 7 ;, ' - Is It not pitiable to see a mart growing rich-,nd beginning to .augumcnt Jhe, comforts of heme, and lavishing money on ostentations up. holstery, upon the (able, npon everything but what the soul needs? ' Wo know of many and many a rich mnn's bouso whero it would not bo safe to ask for the commonest English classics. A few garish annuals on the table, a few pictoriul tnonstro shies, together with the stock religious books of bis "persuasion," and that is sill No range of poets, no essayists, no selection of histori ans, no travels or biographies no select fie tionsor curious legendary lore; but then, the walls have paper on, which cost three dollars a roll, and the floors have carpsts that cost four dollars ayard! Books arc tho windows thtough which the soul looks out. A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if be has the means to buy them. It is a wrong to his family. Ho cheats thorn! Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it. And the love of knowledge in a young mind, is almost a warrant against the interior excitement- of passions and vices. .' Let us pity thoso poor rich inon who live barrenly in grent bookless houses! Let us congratulate the poor that, in our day, books ate so cheap that a man may every year add a hundred volumes to his library for the price of what his tobacco end his beer would cost him. Among the earliest ambitions to be ex cited in clerks, workmen, journeymen, and, indeed, among all that are struggling up in life from nothing to something, is that of owning and constantly adding to a library of good books. , A httloribrory growing larger every year is an taibrablo part of a young man's history. K' S a man's duty-tohavo books. A library is not a loiury, but one of the nccecssarica of life. ... , Mr. Hale Upon Cuba. In tho Sennto, January 21th, upon the in troduction of Mr. Slidoll's Cuba bill, Mr. Halo among other things said: "Mr. President, I do not intend to occupy the attontion of the Scnatoa great whilo: but f 1 do nothing else before I sit down, I hope to be relieved from tho censure which the hon orable Senator from Georgia has made on tho Senator from New York; and that is. that he has not expressed plainly his viows on the main proposition. I am opposed to it utterly, totally, and entirely. I lemoinber sir, for it is some years' sinco this' matter of acquisition has been talked of in this country, that it was first inaugurated under tho gonius of what was Called 'manifest destiny; but I see that manifest destiny has been ridden to death;' wo have got rid Of it, and now succeeds to 'maai. fest destiny,' 'political necessity.' I want to examine that a little. I do not know but what it is necessary that this should come under the auspices of 'political necessity;' because I be lieve tho doctors who taught in the school of manifest destiny ,' only contend that manifest destiny extended over the wholo continent; and now we are to leave the continent and go to sea; we must have a now era, and we aro to take 'political necessity;' and I suppose that is the reason of tho changi. I am opposed to them both. I was opposed to 'inanilest dos-tiny,' and am opposed to 'political necessity.' I am opposed to them for this reason: 'Manifest destiny' has always traveled South, Lr tighter, Although it was tho luisssion of 'manifest destiny' to lake in the whole conti. nent, be never seemed to remember that the. o was a North side of it. He was always trav eling South. Laughter We could not get him to turn his eyes North, So wanting in fidelity to his mission was 'manifest destiny,' that was to overrun this whole continent, so engrossed was ho looking South, that whilst his nijSion had been proclaimed, and he was altondingto Southern interests, the Adminis tration actually sold a part of one of the Nor thern Slates the State of Maine. 'Manifest destiny' was so taken with the Southern as' poet, the he actually lot tho Administration trade oil' a part of one of our own States. Well, sir, for that I never (orgave 'manifest destiny.' "But again, we had .another case. The Senator from Georgia has a magnificent imagination, to say nothing else; but sir, wo had an empire big enough to gratify the ambition of the most ambitious man, lying on tho Pacific coast, running from the llucky mountains to the l'aciflc one that required neither purchase to obtain nor war to keep 'our own indisputable soil;' a soil so very clearly ours that this man now at the head of your national af-lairs, the President of tbo United Sta'cs, as Secretary of State, would not consent lo en-tor into a negotiation with Great Britain about that splendid Western empire of ours, because if he consented to go into arbitration it would admit that there was a doubt about it, while thcro was notany doubt, and the Administration would not admit that there was any doubt as to our tight; 'it was cloar and indisputable.' However, 'maulfcgt destiny,' that was to over-ruri the wholo continent, was looking so constantly Southward, that tho Administration did cot sell cut at that lime, but gave away gave away with the mere dash of the pen that magnificent empire from ihellocky mountains to the Pacific coast, and from 49 dog. to 54 dcg. north latitude. ' ' . . , , ; "Mr.' Durkco,' an! others. Tifky-rour (brtyV '' " '' ' ' ,"Mr. Hale. Yes, sir, we were to have op to 54 40 or ilcht,' and we gave every inch tf that Sway.' It was done with a mere dash o( the , pen. Then, there lay off on the Pacific coast another splendid island, occupying not far frotri the same relative position of the Colombia river that Cuba does W the Mississippi Vancouver 'Island and that was down ueiow ueg., uui witu sifi. um vi uvj pen, we threw in this gigantic empire for noth ing, and gave them Vancouver's Island to in duce them to take it. This is the history of 'manifest destiny' in north latitudo. I have said this, and I wan t to say it again and again, and it ought to bo repeated, and I call Senators to notice the fact, that whenever we have had to deal with 'manifest destiny' or 'political necessity' in any treaty relative to our Korthcrn boundary, il has been cutoff; and, if we could not sell out, we gave away, whilst we have bocn continually traveling south (or acquisitions. This may bo all accidental; probably it is; but, if you ever read rickwidlt, Sir, you remember that, as Sam Woller says', it was most astonishing coincidence." Laughtor. Correspondence of the St, Louis Democrat. The Pike's Peak. "Gold Mines " Auboba Crrr, K. T., Jan, 10, 5ff. Somo persons have already commenced working in the mines; but so far it pays poorly. Diggers who have been the most success ful have not averaged three dollars per day, and somo have not made fifty cents, working hard at that. The gold is very fine. It takes from 20 to 25 particles to make the value of a cent. The largest speck which I have 'heard of,' will not weigh more than 25 cents in val uo. All the large lumps that yon have recciv. ad in St. Louis, as Pike's Peak gold, were never obtained in these regions they belong to California. All tho accounts of gold find ings of an extravagant character are the fabrications of speculators. I wish to put you and others on their guard against theso stories, especially Gen. Larimer's account. I will ventuie to say that ho does not know anything about tho matter. I have not found a good prospect yet; and I am on th ground. I venturo tbo prediction that few persons will mako fortunes hunting, gold in this country. But as "seeing is believing," lot all who wish to have a sight at the "elephant" come on. I am beginning to get a view of him. There aro more than two hundred cabins built hero; and two hundred more are to be orccted beforo the first of March. A good ho- tel will bo ready for. the "boarders" by tbo end of May. It is (c be two stories high, seven ly-fivo feet in width and one hundred and twenty feet in length. Speculators are already busily engaged in laying off cities, around the diggings, and they are tho fellows who aro sending such glowing accounts of gold discoveries. If enough of gold is not found bo fore the Utter part ot May, many now here will go to California, 2ow Mexico and Arizonia, while not a few will pitch their tents in this region fxrlifo. . - . As I am writing, I bear that there is an affray going on about two squares from my cabin. Throo or four men have got into a quarrel and the report of pistols isdislinctly heard. If any body has been hurt, I will write you I he particulars. Tho principal amusement here, during the winter, has been card-playing, telling yarns, and drinking most execrable Wuiskey. Tho latter is worth ten dollars per gallon in St. Louis it would cost twenty cents! I must not omit to toll you . that I have not seen a white woman since I loft the Stato. lluspectrully, II. L. BOLTOX. Sunday Liquor Traffic in New York. The friends of Temperance in New York have issued a statement in regard to the Sunday liquor traffic in the city, which contains some startling facts. We condense the following items to show some of the more important of its developments: The Police department reports the number of dram, shops in the city at 7,779, or one for every fifteen families; of this number, not more than one in one hundred is licensed according to the statute only sovonty-two licenses in all having been granted by the excise commissioners. Of the tntire number it is stated officially that 5,186 pursuo their business on tho Sabbath, in open defiance o f tho laws of tho State, and tho provisions of the city ordinances. The fact is also stated that prior to tho repeal of the ordinances for the protection of the Sabbath, (1834) and those prohibiting the sale of liquors on that day, there existed no necessity for a Sabbath Police. So longa dram-shops were closed, the city governed itself on Sunday; but when these dens ofin-quity wero thrown open in 1834, it became necessary to appoint Sunday officers, and now as full a force is on duty on that day as on other days, and they generally find ample employment.Tho official records show that tho arrests for drunkenness and crime of seventy-six successive Sundays of 1857-8, amounted to 9.713 whilst the arrests on the Tuesdays during the same period, were but 7,801, showing an ex-ccfsofarrevls on Sunday, of 1,852, as compared with other days of the week! After setting forth the facts, tho committee suggest the following remedies for this crying evil: , 1st, A general change in the pay-day of em- ployee, so as lo lessen the temptations of Saturday night and Sunday dissipation; 2d. the increase of means for innocent, popular recreation in the evenings of the week; 3d. The establ ishment of public fountains; 4th. The multiplication of agencies for popular religious instruction; 6th. The correction sod concentration of public centiment on the evils of this traffic, throogh the public and the press; 6th. Th enforcement of the raws and' ordi-nancos, kindly but' flitoly.by the proper au-thoritical, afdue to the dignvtj of the city and the well-being of its inhabitants. For the itcpublicau The City of Mt Vernon. Mr. Editor: Through the force of some circumstances, I was induced to say some things of your city: In the first place, your city has a very good exterior, a rather prepossessing appearance. Again, your city is adorn d with a respectable number of churches, religious lomp os, dedicated and consecrated to the Living God. It is hoped that much of "the salt ohho earth and light of the world" may be found in your city. A high stand is also taken by you on the very important subject of Education as your very creditable building shows, as docs also tho in telligence of tho people. The press is of very respectable character with thatof neighboring cities, advocating, promulgating and defending the doctrines, opinions and untrarooled views of a free people. Whilo the people have such organs through which to get access to the pub lic car, they never can.be enslaved. Mount Vernon is also noted for her industry, porsove- ranee, enterprise und thorough going, as isex. emplificd in her improvements; for Instance, her buildings, manufactories, "gas." railroads, iX-C., &o. But I must not forget the principal object of writing, for be it known it was not any part of m y object to flatter, to say smooth things, or to cry peoco where there is no peace The great question now is, whero do you stand, thou city, on the groat subject ol Temper-ance?that is the question. Look back on the past, are you advancing ia the scale of tem- pcranca or are you rctrogading? Look back to tho days of Washingtonianism. How docs your moral, temeprance character stand now. compared with then! How are the statistics; how many more doggeries do you boast now than then? It is true those one story dilapidated old sheila do not grace Main Street as formerly, but is not crime th samo in the lArgo two story Saloon as in the hovel? One of two things is certain; either Mount Vernon is most disgracefully slandered, or she is the fostering mother of crime and debaucherv; if the latter is not true, what is it that gives "aid and comfort" to so many rum shepii, gaming tables and billiard saloons of tbo dif ferent grades, high and low, noble and ignoble. and even somo of tnose places where young men's characters and immortal souls are sacrificed on thei altar ot Bacol us; claim th-) title of respectable, God save tho world from such respectability 1 from whence do these receive support? What part do these play in the drama of the city? They do not do a legitimate commercial business, because they d0 not giro an equivalent; nay worse, for the money they receive they give poverty, wretch edness,. want, rags, hunger, tears, sorrow, bro ken hearts, disease, and in abort they disquali. fy men for every thing that is good and useful and qualifying them for every crime known in all the catalogue of the devil's drudgery. Surely these institutions do not belong to the manufacturing department of your city? Although tbey do manufacture, yet I do not bilicve that tho craft will give tlicin the right ha id of fellowship and cull them brother and wish them prosperity in their business, and why? because the articles that this craft man ufacture are i.ot calculated toadd to the wealth prosperity, happiness or character of tho city in which the commodities are produced . Do you ask an enumeration of the articles manu factured at these sinks of iniquity? Tho catalogue is long, but a few of the works of their bands are bankrupts, bloats, and blotches, in' flamed stomachs and congested livers con stancy on band, a good assortment; widows and orphans made on reasonable terms and at short notice; men's natural affections for their families cr friends taken in exchange- for gray hair, palsied limbs, and a premature gravo; wive's hearts broken, children brought to shame, and parents gray bair brought to tho grave in sorrow for the small amount of what you may be worth; block eyes, bloody noses, and other doformilies made to order. The agents vf Bacchus areauthorized, furthermore, to give all who may favor them with a cull, lessons in billiards, chess, cards, domino, and other games so that they will be very expert in losing all they can get their hands on besides improving the mental faculties so that you can servo and honor the devil and enjoy him forover. Baro opportunities! The attention of the young men from the country or neighboring villages are most earnestly and respectfully solicited to call before they attempt to form their characters for city life. Nevermind, young men, what your parents, brothers, sisters, or seniors told you whon yon left the parental roof, they are loggish and old fashioned, they don't understand tho principles of young Americanism, they are not versed in the science of uppertendom. Then call at once and commcoco forming your character, enter into this mattor with alt your heart, give your entire attention to this matter. Keep away from churches and bible and christians, they will have a tendency to sour your mind and make you gloomy so that you can not so well enjoy o ir social circle and innocent games and amusements, which aro so refining! such intellectual feasts. Ob Babylon! Babylon; tby name has gone out into all the hill country round aboiit, we fear and tremble when our sons and brothers seek your borders. The time now is hazard, ous for unsuspecting virtuous young men from the country to enter within your influence, to acquire an education,, trado or piofession; snares, gins and nets of every possible descrip tion are laid at every corner to aansuars their unwary feet and drag tbem into the mael-. Strom of dissipation, dobaschery, shams ana in fa y, ind finally touttor and eternal wretch edness. Totnporcnce men! Christians! a lew practical remarks to you in conclusion. To you we look for the romedy for this deplore-bio state of things. Do yoo show clear hands in this matter? I do verily believe (hat did all that profess temperance, together with the mighty host that profess to In) tho followers of tho meek and lowly Savior take their proper stand, these fountains of Death would wither and die. But to particularize: . My friend, do you run t your room for a rum shop, becausi, forsooth the renter is willing to pay you a good rent and you are sure of your cult? Go on, then, but do not profess temperance or Christianity, anddont whine if your good tenant ruins your son, it will bo your own fault. ' Again, reader where do you throw your influence, where do you givo your patronage in the way of toa, cof-fco, sugar, molaKsos,in short groceries and provisions generally, including tobacco and cigars (if you aro so unfortunate as to use tho nar cotic) if you do not go to the grocery, drug store, or provision storo whore rum is not sold; then do not mourn over your ruined mends and neighbors, ana say ' UU wnat a pity." their blood will be found on your skirts in the great day of God Almighty's wrath. Consistency is it jowel and if those that profess butter things would act consistently and not give aid and comfort to the enemy, and keep up the nefarious trafiic.ourg'.oiious coun try would wipe theso abominable nuisances from tho face of earth. .Young men I I appeal to you ; you aro the hopo o' the world, the hope of church and state. Be nible-minded ; be philanthropic; bo worthy of tho confidence of all around you. Let your ear always be open to tbo cry of suffering humanity. Whilo you have a heart to beat, let every pulsation boat in works of charity, benevolence, and bumau sympathy. Writo your nuuio high up in your country's history, and lot the world know that you aro in it and that you have lived to some purpose. So long os thcro is a drop of warm blood in your veius, despite hate and lovo hate everything that is mean, low, grov eling, penurious and degrading. May God grant that the lime may soon come that the yrung man cannot bo found on tho face of His green earth, that can find it in hi heart to so beliillo.bcincun and degrade himself as to gut down so jfidescriUlily low as to do the dirty work of oi l Belzebub, in the way of selling rot-gut whisky and washing tobacco slobber off of the glasses for the shining throo old rusty coppers. If "to dig I am notable if to beg 1 am ashamed" let me die aud rot like a worm, sooner than, thu disgraco my race. Young men, be courteous, be sociable. be polite and trout everybody with proper re spect, especially your seniors; love and pity the poor drunkard maker, but hate his busi ness with an undying hatrod, give it no conn tenanceor support directly or indirectly, Finally, young men; allow mo to give you a specimen of a thing after which you may pattern, if you think you can do no bettor. A young man on being asked why he profess ing lemporanco could go (o a rum ship to oys" lor suppers in preference to tcmperanco estab lishments? replied tbat they "always threw in a center at the same price so they could have a smoke after eating timir oysters!" Oh! what a magnanimous spirit! What boundless, philanthropy! What a lovely world such men would make!

Young man can you get down to that? A thousand such souls might drink their bowl of punch on the summit of a cambric nccdlo with as much safety as did the few English sailors on the summit of Pompey's pillar. Shun tho gambling hell and the tippling shop, however respcclablo they may claim to be, as you would the reptiles of the Nile. Seek tho company of tho good; frequent the house of God; search good books, especially the Bible.

Every reflective man recognise the nature., and admits the value of agriculture; yet every such man is not himself a farmer, nor can '. ho conveniently become ou the lot of. many being cast in other departments of la-r bor. Probably there are mora wha wouH cultivate farms, if thoy wero fortunate enoughs to possost tbem, then there are who, possess- ing tbem, would forseko thorn for a vocation! less stable. Ago, with iU wisdom, likes than farm better than youth with its too frequent vain show and empty aspiration. . . ; t If it bo true, as MuNTEstjuisn observes that "countries are not cultivated in propor tion to their fertility, but to their liberty,"! than republican American must soon rank second to no other nation in her perfection of1 terra-culturo. Our agricultural population-may not exactly lead or control our country.. yet they hold the truest sword in its defence;, and in tbo heat of any contcgt, will imbiber now courage fiom the recollection of their, pleasant homes. -. ., . I desire to present some thouKhts" upcm this suhjeot, in the form of distinct propo sitions. . - , . i 1. As the roots end trunk of a Ire are lot its branches, so is agriculture to society; il upholds it, and drav- s from the earth and dist Pfnses its nourishment to the different branches of tho social Gibric, whilo at tb same time it derives new vigor from a vital reciprocity. Hence, ,.. ...... ; t.jf 2. Agriculture is the foundation of a- welU established nation, and th most stable ulr moot of its wealth, independence, and great-i nesa. . Therefore, . . .. .... ., 3. Agriculture should receive the fostering-care of the state, and respect and encourage-, ment of every patriot. " 4. Every farmer, to proscculo bis busk ness successful'!, should feel and cherish an ambition in it, and a conviction tbat he It just the man for it; and, however unlettered' he may be, under such incentives ho will make great progress, not only in the profitable cultivation of his farm, butalse in mental improvement.. If he has not too atimulusof emulation, he should choose a business where bo may be thus prompted, as agriculture can well spare the "slothful in business." 5. Although farmers as a body may never expect to become erudite scholars,, each and. every ono would begreatly benefited by asaoU library of standard agricultural and uiiacel-, laneous books. They are fuitbful companions tbey always instruct and elevate. - , ' . 6. If it be the 'mind tbat makes the man,' it is not alone in its intellectual phase, but also in its moral- Every former who chooses,, can attain to a degree of intellectual cuKuro, and to a moral staudard second to none. He can and ought to make himself the M highest stylo of man." 4 7. Although in their well-being vocation are mutually dependent, to a great or less degieo, the farmer should nover mistrust tho value of bis profession, but should defead its dignity and woith by a oommsnsurat nilependence before all men. WutMalurd, Mast. D. W. L, What can bs Done on ono Acre ol Giound. . The editor of the Maine Cultivator, pub-' lished a few days ago, his management of one, acre of ground from which we gather the following result: ... , One-third of an acre of ground usually pro duced thirty bushols of sound corn for grind ing, besides somo refusors. This quantity:, was sufficient for family us end for fattening on or two small hogs. From th gmi ground he obtained two of three hundred pumpkins, and his family supply of beans From the same bed of six rods square be usu ally obtained sixty bushols onions; these he sold at one dollar per bushel and th amount purchased his flour. Thus, from one-third an acre and one onion bed, he obtained his bread stuffs. The rest of the ground was ap propriated to all sorts of vegetables for the summer and wintor use potatoes, beets, par snips, cabbages, green corn, peas, beans, oa cumbers, melons, squashes, ic, with fifty or sixty bushels of beets and carrot for th win-. ter food of a cow. Then he has a flower gar-, den, also raspberries, currants and gooseber-. rics, in great variety, and a few choice apple. pear, plum, cherry, peach, and quince trees. . , Bow Data in March.' ' : Three of us neighbors concluded w would sow our oat last spring as-early the latter part of tho third month. Sow it. upon Stubble without plowing, and depend npon a very thorough ban owing to cover it. We did o, sod th result wa a good crop of grain on bcautilul bright straw. f Th success is no doubt attributed to lb early sowing, and I have no question if th oats erop of Ohio should be got in next spring as early as th J latter part of the third or first ' part of the fourth month, the rust may be nearly if not entirely avoided. - ....,,-'; I wosld recommend all petsona intending-. to sow oats, te have their ground ready to sow without plowing, next spring. : If it hi corn stubble ia good lUlg, free from weeds.; it will do without plowing. If it is foul, or t should b sod. it ought to have been plowid Ust tall. -IT. B.
