In lonely mooJ Old Home. I trend

Willi rct'rent steps 1 t-areise tlw
Thy precincts oh lov'd fane !
Bcarwith me whilst I check thr grief
That rues when Ircc
How heavily and sternly Time
I lath laid his hand on thee !
Dear spot ! how thou art chang'.l ! a wreck
Of what thotl wert before
When roses deck"d thy lattice woiL
And woodbine crowned thy daor!
When o'er thy walls in sportive wreath
Would foldttie cluvt'riiigTine
Where now the ivy darkly coils
Around each stone of thine !
With aching brow I mark the change
A few short years hath mad?.
And marvel that no brief a lape
Should cause Ihcc thus to fade!
The liingelcss gate and niekct too
Unlateh'd andopen'd wide
A-1 if inTiting all to view
Time's ravages insidi'
The garden plot uhcre once ?eiepcni
So many happy hours;
Scarce belter than a waste of wrrds
Where bloomM the sweetest flowers.
Save here and there a plant may be
That sickly droops fotlorn
A if the storm had left it tlim
For brighter or.es to mourn.

Where c 'ry eve would bring a song
Andcv'n morn a smile.

In milanchuly lose.

?' EDUCATION.
O ! better fir better that the atheist and tbc blas-
phemer and he who. s :ncc the last setting sun has
dyed his hands in parricide or his soul in saciik-gc
jhonld challenge equal political power with the
wisest and the best; better that these blind Samsons
in the wantonness of their gigantic strength should
tear dour the pillars of the Republic than that the
great lesson which Heaven for six thousand --ears
has been teaching to the world should be lost upon
it; the lesson that the. intellectual and moral nature
of man is the one thing precious in the sight of God;
nnd therefore that until this nature is cultivated and
enlightened and purified neither opulence nor
power nor learning nor genius nor domestic sancti-
ty nor the holiness of God's altars can ever be safe
Until the immo'tal and god-like capacities of evejy
being that comrs Into the uorld arc deemed of more
worth are watched more tenderly thnn any other
thing no dynasty of men or form of government can
stand or shall stand upon the face nf the earth ; and
the force of the fraud which would seek to uphold
lhem shall be but "as fitters of fljx to bind the
flame"
Lr-t those tlr n whose wealth is !o.st or jtoparded
by fraud or misovcrnmcnt ; let those who quake
with apprehension for the fate of all they hold dear;
let tfiose who behold and lament the desecration of all
that is holy; let rulers whose counsels are perplexed
whose'plansare baffled whose laws defied or evaded
let them all know that whatever ill they frcl or fear
arc but just retributions ofa righteous Heaven for ne-
glected childhood.
Remember thm the child whose voice first lisps
to-day before that voice sh.JI whisper sedition" in
secret or thunder treason at the head of an armed
band. Remember the child whose hand to-day first
lifts its tiny bauble before that hand shall scatter fire-
brands airo-vs. and death. Remember those spor-
tive groups of youth in whose halcyon bosoms there
sleeps an ocean as yet scarcely ruffled by the pas-
sions which soon shall heave it as with the tempest's
strength. Remember that whatever station in life
you may fill these mortals these immortals are your
care. Devote expend consecrate yourselves to the
holy work of their improvement. Pour out light
nnd truth a God pours sunshine and rain. No
longer seek knowledge as the luxury of a few but
dispense it amongst all as the bread of life. Learn
enly how the ignorant may learn; how the innocent
may be preserved; the vicious reclaimed. Call down
the astronomer from the skies; call up the geologist
from his subterranean explorations; summon if needs
be the mightiest intellects from the Council Cham-
ber of the nation; enter cloistered halls where the
schoolist muses over superfluous annotations; dissolve
conclave and synod where subtle polemics are vain-
ly discussing their barren dogmas; collect whatever
of talent or erudition or eloquence or authority the
broad Ijnd can supply and go forth and teach
the people. For in the name of the living God
it must be proclaimed that licentiousness shall be the
liberty; and violence and chicanery shall be the law;
nud superstition and craft shall be the rcligioh; and
the self-destructive indulgence of all sensual and un-
hallowed passions shall be the only happiness of that
p-ople who neglect the education of their children.
Horace Mann.
To the Editors of the Louiscillt Journal:
CURING BACON.
Approving highly of the judgment evinced in the
selection of agricultural nrticles which have lately
appeared in your daily paper and wishing to eontri
bute to the desirable purpose intended by their publi-
cation I beg leave to offer to our Western firmprs
a-fow hints on the subject of curing bacon a branch
of their business which must at all times prove of
considerable importance as well from the large quan
tities consumed in their Families as from the exten-
sive supplies required for shipment to those States
less eligibly circumstanced for the raising nnd fatten-
ing of pork. Sly experience in curing the article has
been limited principally to the wants of my own fa-
mily; but having been for upwards of thirty years a
dealer in bacon the remarks I have to make may not
be destitute of value. In the distant States to which
our Kentucky bacon is sent it has acquired r-cnfirally.
a better character than that from the neighboring
Stati s and by devoting more care and attention to
the management of the business on the part of the
f. triners this character may be greatly improved.
It it believed that the new tariff adoptfd by the Bri
tish Government and the low prices of salt provisions
in our markets will authorize extensive shipments to
that country and for siu h a distant trade it is espe-
cially important that the article of bacon should be
prepared in the best possible manner. Persons net
acquainted with the facts would scarcely credit the
Joints osiko around the projecting lone in the centre
and the edges of the pieces then hangthem up to dry
and as soon as they are so raise asmoke under them
to be made of grren hickory wood. Take care never
to raista smoke in wet weather. The smoke should
be kept up four weeks for hams and three weeks for
the other pieces. After thesmoking is over the smoke-
house should be kept as close as possible and in sum-
mer the flirs should be kept out and the roof white-
washed as it tend; ti reflect the rnyi of the sun and
preserve a cool temperature within In shortening
the limb to form the ham and shoulder use the knife
and saw instead ofa hatchet and deliver in order that
the bone may be made to present n smooth and not a
shattered .surface In summer the smoke-house
should be kept both dark ana cool. Under such cir-
Tcinnstanccs the bacon will safely keep through the
prudent house wife should examine it every two or
three week ta be sure that it is safe.
Some persons pack their hamsand shoulders away
in tight barrels with dry hickory ashe or pulveri-
zed charcoal in cither of which they will keep well;
the bttrr we prefer. Others sew the pieces up in
coarse bags and whitewash the outstdes. The latter
tronble may be omitted if the apertures in the smoke-
house be closed with wire mattings the flies be ex
cluded nnd the smoke-bouse be kept cool.

sold to the soap boilers at a "real loss. To obviate too exnensive. Well I'll trv them n dsv or two on
- Book Shelves. -Ta give someidca of thecxtent
of the -tewportion'of the library ol the British Muse-
um it has as a point of useful information or per-
haps also as a matter of curiosity been ascertained
rhat the ichole length of the; shelves which held
U'50000 volumes was 42240 feetor eight mites. The
ltngth of the shelves of the library at Munich con-
taining 500.000 volumes taking the same prrportion
will bo fifteen miles and two-fifths. The King's li
brary in P.iris of 050.010 volumes must bv the same
rnifiile'iun. haic not Ic25 than twenty miles of
shelf.
ihis loss the farmer should in the first place avoid
letting his hogs feed so long as is frequently done on
beech or oak mast; as it is not the feeding on corn
for a few weeks that will sufficiently harden the flesh
of hogs which have been so long running in the
woods. For making bacon of a marketable size
the largest and the very small hogs should be avoid-
ed. The best sized hogs for this purpose are perhaps
from 120 to 1G0 pounds when killed and dressed;
but none should be n.ade into baron intended for sile
which arc under 100 pounds and those exceeding
200 pounds would suit better for the purpose of bar-
relled pork. In cutting up the hogs a sharp hatchet
and knife arc requisite as it is not possible with dull
instruments to cnt it neatly.
It is scarcely necrssary to direct that the luck bone
should be completely cut out ns every one is aware
now much the value ol the bacon is reduced by its
being left on either the ham side or shoulder. Re
cently too. the purchasers have s-trongly objected to
the ribs being lift in the sides and greatly prefer
those which arc char even at a higher price. In
cutting out the hams the thick rnd should be n-a'lv
rounded oft" all the loose and superfluous fat cut
way the bone which commonly protrudes from th'
middle ol the fl shy side should be cut off even with
the flfsh and the leg ampulahd close below the knee
joint. In salting the sides the use of saltpetre is quite
unnecessary; but with the joints and especially the
hams the saltpetre in the proportion of 12 or 10
ounces to every 1000 pounds of meat mr.kcs a ma-
terial improvement bo'h in the color and flavor of
the baron. The brst mrthod of applying ilie salt-
petre is after b' ing well pounded to mix it with the
salt and to rub tho mixture upon the joints which
if not very dry or frozen will nbsord a considerable
portion even in the operation. The use of tight
casks or vats is doubtless the best for the purpose of
laymc the meat in when sufficiently covered with
salt; but when a large quantity is to be cured this is
not practicable except at too great an expense and
stacking the meat may answer if carefully done so
as not to scatter the salt. In either case however
the hams should be hid at the bottom next the
shoulders and the sides on top. From seven to ten
days after the first saltintr. the joints should be apiin
carefully rubbed over with srilt and after remaininr
in salt from four to six weeks according to the size of
the hogs the whole may be hung up in the smoke
house and should there remain about a week before
any fire is made for smoking it. In this operation
the fire should not be made too large as the meat is
liable to serious injury from being exposed to too
great a heat When sufficiently smoked the bacon
should remain hung up until wanted for use or for
sale; and in wet weather a little additional smoke
will be useful so lone as the meat remains in the
smoke-house. In handling the pork or bacon care
should be taken that it be not used too roughly; as
by bring carelessly thrown abour the meat is Iwblc
to be cracked open at the junction of the fat and the
lean and is thus exposed to the attacks of flics and
bugs by affording convenient places in which to
deposite their eggs. In the curing of bacon some
persons use hickory ashes and if this practice be
confined to the meat intended for their family con-
sumption they may safely be left to the exercise of
their own discretion. To the dealers however
this practice is very objectionable ns when intended
for sale the meat cannot be kept too clean. Some
persons rub pounded red pepper on the fleshy
side of the joints a practice whrh certainly assists
in preserving the meat from the attacks of liics or
buss; but this will be found an unnecessiry pre
caution if the foregoing directions be carefully ob-
served. The smoking should be continued until
the meat becomes ol a deep reddish brown or
dark mahoginy color and as long as the bacon
remains on hand the access of light should as far
as possible be prevented. C.
Another Method of Curing Bacon.. To every
1000 lbs of pork take 3 pecks of salt- - one-half
ground alum the other half fine blown salt 1-2 lb
of saltpetre and 4 lbs brown sugar mix the whole
well together. After your hogs arc cut up rub this
mixtnre well into the several pieces cither with your
hand or a piece of solo leather. Then have a good
tight cask perfectly clean sprinkle on the bottom a
portion of the mixture of salt saltpetre and sugar
then lay down your hams and shoulders first the
skin part downwards taking care to sprinkle each
picceas laid down with the mixture; thes packed away
put in your middlings and smaller pieces the largest
first treated precisely as recommended for the hams
and shoulders. In three weeks unpack the whole
when the middlings and smaller pieces may be hung
up to dry first taking the precaution to wipe ofT the
undissolved salt with a cloth dipped in clean warm
water. As soon as dried the smoking process should
be commenced. At this time (ihe end of the third
week-) repack the hams and shoulders in the brine
putting those pieces least salted lowest down in the
cask. At the end of the fifth week take them out.
wash off the the salt with a w.irm wet cloth rub a
little Cayenne iipppur around the hock nd -.ho'ilder-
expensive. Well 1 II try them a day
pea straw. What was my expectation? Why that
my sheep would look thin and meagre and gauntcd
up. but the reverse was my astonishment. The past
winter I have fed my sheep on pea straw entirely
and never was my flock More hardy hearty or in
better condition than they now are. I've lost none
nor has there been a sick one in my whole flock.
If farmers will keep theirsheepin unbroken numbers
anil in a healthy and growing condition a cheaper
or more sife guarantee to such a result than the cul
turcof peas is not to be found. A ton ol pea jtraw
icell secured will feed as many sheep as a ton of hay.

published a short essay on wheat in the Nashville
Agriculturist in which he says that for fifteen years
past his wheat has not been materially affected by the
fly with the exception of two years. His practice
has been to sun his seed-wheat to days or more
beforesowinsp In the two years excepted his wheat
was not sufficiently sunmd.
