MISCELLANY. 



Forflle New England Fanner. 

 HAPPINESS. A Song. 



No glory I covet, no riches I want, 



Ambition is nothing to me ; 

 The one tiling 1 beg of kind Heaven to grant 



Is a mind independent and free. 



With passions unruffled, untainted with pride, 



By reason my life let me square j 

 Tiie wants of my nature are cheaply supplied, 



And the rest are luit lolly and care. 



The b'cssings which Providence freely has lenf, 



I will justly and gratefully prize ; 

 While sweet meditation, and cheerful content, 



Shall make me both happy and wise. 



In the pleasures the great man's possessions display, 



Unenvied I challenge my part, 

 For every fair ohject my eyes can survey 



Contributes to gladden my heart. 



How vainly, through infinite trouble and strife 



Mean misers their labors employ, 

 Since all that a happy man needs in this life 



Is what at! if they please may enjoy. 



MAXIMS FOR MARRIED LADIES. 



The following maxims, if pursued, will not only 

 make the men in love with marriage, but cause 

 them to be good husbands: First, be good your- 

 self. Avoid all thoughts of managing a husband. 

 Never try to deceive or impose upon his under- 

 standing, nor give him uneasiness; but treat him 

 with affection, with sincerity and respect. Re- 

 member that husbands, at best, are only men, sub- 

 ject like yourselves to frailties. Be not too san- 

 guinis then, before marriage, or promise yourselves 

 happiness without alloy. Should you discover 

 any thing in his humor or behavior not altogether 

 what you expected or wish, pass it over, smooth 

 your own temper, and try to mend his by atten- 

 tion, cheerfulness, and good nature. Reproach 

 not him with misfortunes, which are the accidents 

 and infirmities of life — a burden which each has 

 engaged to assist the other in supporting, and to 

 which both parties are equally exposed — but in- 

 stead of muniuirings and reflections, divide the 

 sorrows between you ; make the best of it, and it 

 will be easy for both. It is the innate office of 

 the softer sex to sooth the troubles of the other. 

 Resolve every morning to be cheerful throughout 

 the day — should any thing occur to break your 

 resolution, suffer it not to put you out of temper 

 with your husband. Dispute not with him, be the 

 occasion what it may ; but much sooner deny 

 yourself the trifle of having your own will, or of 

 gaining the belter of an argument, than risk a quar- 

 rel or create a heartburning, the end of which it 

 is impossible to see. Implicit submission in a 

 man to his wife, is ever disgraceful to both ; but 

 implicit submission in the wife, is what she prom- 

 ised at the altar, what the good will revere her for, 

 and what is in fact the greatest honor she cau re- 

 ceive. Be assured that a woman's power, as well 

 as her happiness, has no other foundation than her 

 husband's esteem and love, which it is her interest, 

 by all possible means, to preserve and increase. 

 Study, therefore, his temper, and preserve your 

 own. Enjoy with him satisfaction, share and 

 sooth his cares, and with the utmost assiduity con- 

 ceal his infirmities. — .American Fanner. 



If all the fools wore white caps we should look 

 like a flock of geese. 



EARLY FRUGALITY. 



In early childhood you lay the foundation of 

 property or riches, in the habits you give your 

 children. Teach them to save every thing, for 

 some good use, — and teach them to share every 

 thing with their playmates, but never allow them to 

 destroy any thing. I once visited a family, where 

 the utmost economy was observed ; yet noth- 

 ing was mean or uncomfortable. It is the charac- 

 ter of true economy to be as comfortable, with a 

 little, as others can be with much. In this family 

 when the father brought home a package, the chil- 

 dren would of their own accord, put away the pa- 

 per and twine neatly, instead of throwing them in 

 the fire or tearing them to pieces. If the little 

 ones wanted a piece of twine to spin a top, there 

 it was in readiness; and when they threw it upon 

 the floor, the older children had no need to he 

 told to put it again in its place. — Frugal House- 

 wife. 



SELECT PROVERBS OF ALL NATIONS. 



If you trust before you try, you may repent be- 

 fore you die. 



If things were to be done twice all would be 

 wise. 



If wise men play the fool, they do it with a 

 vengeance. 



If you would have a good servant, take neither 

 a kinsman nor a friend. 



If a fool have success it ruins him. 



If it were not for hope the heart would break. 



If you can bite never show your teeth. 



Ill got, ill spent. 



If you would wish the dog to follow you, feed 

 him. 



If you lie upon roses when young, you'll lie up- 

 on thorns when old. 



If you had had fewer friends and more enemies 

 you had been a better man. 



If you would have a thing kept a secret, nev- 

 er tell it to any one ; and if you would not have a 

 thing known of you, never doit. 



I wept when I was- born, aDd every day shows 

 why. 



I love my friends well, but myself better. 



Ill-will never spoke well. — Scotch. 



Discovery of the Longitude. It is well known 

 that to find the longitude at sea, is a difficult oper- 

 ation, and rewards have from time to time been of- 

 fered for the discovery of a certain and easy method. 

 In 1714 the British Parliament offered £20,000 

 reward, hut in 1828 the act was repealed. Capt. 

 Shain, of Cincinnati, now claims the honor, and 

 says he has constructed a mathematical figure, 

 which, if you have the latitude and the bearings 

 of an object, will give the required longitude. 



Why are the turnip, the radish, and the cabbage 

 considered very wholesome'^ Because of their high 

 antiscorbutic powers, which depend upon a cer- 

 tain acrid volatile oily principle. This is particu- 

 lirly abundant in the seeds of mustard, and the 

 roo;s of horse-radish ; and in less degree in scurvy 

 gr.iss and the roots of the radish. Plants of this 

 or ler are also believed to possess diuretic and dia- 

 phoietic properties ; and they are always eatable 

 when their texture is succulent and watery, as in 

 the roots of the radish and turnip, and iu the 

 leaves of the cabbage tribe.— Lour/on. 



" It is believed," says the Edinburgh Review, in 

 an article of Babbagc on machinery and manu- 

 factures, " that an individual can at this moment, 



by means of the improved machinery now in use, 

 produce about two hundred times the quantity of 

 cotton goods than an individual could have pro- 

 duced at the accession of George III. in 17u'0."
