THE ADVOOCATE.
) A HEBREW MELODY.
The wave has still e deep a dye
That bresks on Judah’sshore §
Serene and cleudless is her sky
As 'twas in days of yore:
And there the sun as brightly shines ;
But ah ! on Judah's holy shrioce
His beam alfhits no mo e.
On Judah’s mountains end her pluine
The stately olives stand 4
And still her towering palm remsins,
do lonely aod so grand.
As monoarchs of the waste they rise,
But every blast awakes their sighs
For Judab’s hapless land,
On Sharon still, to woo the ga's,
The mountain roses bloom ;
Aud in each wild and woody va'e
“‘ilie hly cheery the glosm
But these in movrainl »plendor tower,
lo\nd lourish like some Jovely flower
That blossoms o’¢r thie tomb.
' BROTHER FARMERS,
We must be sure,this month, to improve
three thirds o' ¢ne tune ! ~
Keep your ticlds (iff possible) as well
as f'our gardens, free from wceds.
temember, that you cannot work too
much among your Indian Corn. Rise at
four in the morning, and plough your fal
lows while the dew is yet wet. Bear in
mind, that every hoe tull of fresh dirt, put
carefully round your corn, will pay you
an bund,l"ed fold. e
| Y our beans, squashes; cucumbers,mel
ons and cabbages, will pay you well for
Pfioeiug them olten.
Don’t let your grass suffer for want of
‘being cut. There is a size or glutinous
'mntter upon it of much consequence to
its swectness and nourishing quality ; but
standing too long, or the ruin. being . upon
it, deprives it of this peculiar excellence.
Oue ton of hay, cut just in time, and well
made and got into the barn, is worth two
tons of that which is sun-burnt, rain-beut
‘en, and badly gotten in,
Yourrye and wheat will n_clauw
your attenuon, e cun,amfi ox,. the
"wutch for the first good weather to hir
vest it after it is ripe. : :
' Remember, for your cncouragement,
that many are the silent joys of the rural
‘husbandman, and honest peasant, who ris
‘es ehecrfuliy and betimes to his™ labor,—
The rich and the opulent, who live in the
cities, may have more dainties ;. but the
industrious farmer and cheerful laborer,
the better appetite and better health,
Socrates said, * that we should cut and
drink, in order lo live ; instcad of living,ae
‘many do, ia order to ec: and drink,”—
This is most excellent advice ; but 1 must
‘add my say thereto, viz. drink neither too
».uch cold water, nor too much hot rum
or whiskey. The last two kill an hundred
to one of the former ; and the immoderate
use of ardent spirits is the principle source
of most of the poverty, depravity, and
wretchedness in tlxis our wurlJ. : ‘
And now a word to farmer’s wives, and
I havedone. Bce help-mates indecd to
your husband—don’t let them or their hir
ed men wait for their meals. Remcmber
that a shower coming over, will not wait
for them to get thcir%m‘v or grain into the
barn. 'Take the care of the garden as
much from them as possible, and be sure
to gather your secds as they ripen, and
your herds while in bloom. This latter
is too much neglected, For, let me tell
you this Tact, that a good bowl of herbi
tea, with soaking the fect in a little warm
water, for a violent cold, saves many a fe
ver, and preserves your purses from being
drained by a doctor’s long bill,
A PENN FARMER.
THE SALEM MURDER-—AGAIN,
It is stated in the Sulemn Gazette, that
the whole number of persons in gaol i
that town charged wita the murder of Mr
White cither as principals or accessaries,
is seven, viz : Richurd Crowninshield, Jr.
George Crowniushicld, Danicl Chase,
Benjamiti Selman, Joseph J. Knapp, Jr.
John Francis Knapp, John Carr, and R.
Palmer. Palmer, like ‘the others, is a
young man of good personal appearance,
possessing manners, and of good educa
tion. He was a prisoncr two yearsin the
Thomaeton State g’risnn,nml had for many
years before been the intimate associate
of the Crowninshields. ,
The last Belfast (Me.) Journal states
that Palmer’s parents reside in that town,
On his examination in Muine, it uppeared
by his confeesion, that he wrote the letter
to Knapp,—thathe was in Salem on the
3d of April, three days before, and again
on the 9th, three days after the murder—
that he saw the Crowinshiclds both times
«<that on the second of April, a paamu. ;
jon wae made to him by one of the Crown
inshields to assist in the murder of Capt.
White and share with them a-third of the
gIOOO, which he was informed Joseph
napp, offered to the pexson who would
commit the deed—that he refused to en
gege, and next evening left Salem-—re
turned on the 9th, the :ay of the funeral,
jmd saw the Crowninshields—that he saw
at their shop a hatchet which he supposed
‘was used in the murder, and hid the same
awuay—that the Crowninshields told him
the daggers were melted. Palmer deni
ed all personal knowledge of the murder,
der, but said he could dginclose other im
portant facts.
One of the incidents related by Knapp,
in his confession, says the Gazette, is
worthy of notice, as-an indication of the
remarkable cold-bloodedness with which
the assassin pursued his “dreadful trade.”
‘At the interview which Knapp had with
him in the centre of the Mall, he informed
K. that he had seen it stated inthe news
papers that 13 stabs were found in the
body, but that he did not give more than
four or five. Kuoapp replied, that perhaps
he was alittle agitated, and could not re
member exactly. The assassin said*“No,
for after he had done for the old man, he
i put his fingers "j"’“ his pulse, to make cer
tain he was dead.”
The Knapps are the same young men
who a few v.ecks ago pretended to have
been attacked by highwaymen, on the
road, near Wenham Pond, an account of
which wase published in the newspapers.
J.J. K. acknowledged that the whole was
a fabrication. [Very few people, in this
quarter, belicved the story—as was inti
mated inghis paper at the time.]—Bost.

Marine Corps.—QOur readers may recs
ollect that the ** Heaven-born” Auditor,
Anios Kendall, among other discoveries
he made inthe way of construction, found
out that the officers of the Marine* Corps
had been allowed more than enough to
kedp body and soul togcther, under all
the administrations, from Washington’s to
thdt of his own master ; and accordingly
curtailed their allowances, Congress,
however, seemed to think that these gen
tlemen might possibly starve under A
mos’ regimen, and passed a joint resolu
tien, explanatory of the ‘‘ act coucerning
the pay of the officers of the Marine
Corps.” The bill was returned with the
President’s signature on Saturday, but ac
companied by a message, stating, in sub
stance, that, as the estimates for the naval
service had been (vunded upon the vew
construction of the law, an additional ap
ptoprintion was rendered necessary to
carry the joint resolution into effect. A
bill wnaking such anappropriation was ac
cordingly rcported by the cominittce ol
Ways and Mcans, but, in the hurry and
rush of business, it was imposible to get

. SUPERSTITIOUS CREDULITY.,
1 AN AUTHENTIC FACT.
A widow lady at Paris, aged about 65,
who lodged in a two pait of stairs floor
with pnzy a maid servant, was lccultome&
to spend several hours every day before
the altar dedicated to #t. Paul in a neigh
boring church. Some villains, observing
her extreme bigotry, resolved, as she was
known to be very rich, to share her
wealth. One of them, accorgg, took
the opportunity to conceal himself behind
the carved work of the altar, and, whenno
person but the old lady- was there, in the
'|dusk of the evening, he contrived to throw
‘|a letter just before her. She took it up,
‘|and not seeing any one near supposed it
came by miracle. In this she was the
.|more confirmed, when she saw it signed,
| Paul the Apostle,” expressing the sat
isfaction he received by her prayers ad
dressed to hiin, when so many cannenized
saints engrossed the devotion of the world,
and robbed the primitive saints of their
. {wonted adoration; and to show his regerd
| |for the devoteé he promised to come from
r |heaven with the angel Gabnel, on a cer
; {tain evening and sup with her at eight o’-
]|clock. The infatuated lady believed the
» {whole, and rose from her knees in trans
» | port, and immediately began to meke pre
| | parations for the cntertzinment of her heav
-|enly guests,
. 'F he supper being bespoke, and the
sideboard set out to the best advantages,
e | she th%n%t éhnt her own plate, worth a
-1 | bout £4OO, did ?0; flluhs ea slegant an
t | appearance as might be wished -
. fif’r{:f sent to her bgrother, a cgun.:‘eqk‘#em
the parliament of Paris, to borrow all his
-|plate. 'The maid, however, was charged
» | uot to disclose the occasion, but only to
- | say, that she had sompany to supper, and
» | would be obliged to him if he wonld Jend
, | his plate for the evening. The councel
‘lor surprised at the application, well know
ling his sister’s frugal life, began to sus
r!pect, that she was enamoured of some
|| fortune hunter, who might marry her, and
| thus deprive his family of what l{e expects
led at his sisters’s death. He therefore
»!posti\'cly refused to send the plate, unless
- the maid would tell what guecsts were ex
{pected. The girl, alarmed - for her mis=
tress’ honor, declared that her pious lady
"had no thoughts of a husbancr-'—but that
'BSt. Paul, having sent her a letter from
{heaven, promising that he and the angel
| Gabriel would sup with her, she wished to
'make the entertsinment as elegant as pos<
'gible.
| The counscllor immediately suspected
'that some-villain had imposed on Ler; and
'sending the maid with the plate, proceed
(ed directly to the commissary of that quar
ter. On the magistrate’s going to the
‘houao adjoining with him, they saw, just
before 8 o’clovfi(, a tall man, dressed in &
ilong vestment, with & white beard, and a
young man in white, with large wings at
his shoulders, alight from a hazg'my
coach, and go up to his sister’s apartruent.
The commissary immediately ordered
12 of the police guards to post themselves
on the stairs while he Imocmd at the door,
and desired admittance. The lady repli
ed that she had com,i;my, and could not
speak to any one. But the commissary
answeied that he must come in, for that
he was BSt. Peter, and had cotne to ask St,
Paul and the angel Gabriel, how they
came out of heaven without his knowledge,
The dirine visitors wer@astonished at this,
not expecting ony more saints (o jois, but
the ln«ry overjoyed at h 80 &u an.
Apostle with her, ran yto 3
when the commissary, her brother,
the police goards, rushed i, pt%.
their muskets, seized her guests, and car«
ried them to prison. | -
On -enrchfu‘ the criminals, two ¢
