" ' ? " ': ! - " . . " When the horsed came on the course, it was 'discoved, much : to the chagrin of thoir frieiitls.' that Polk limped with his off hind loot, and that Calhoun's nearshoulder was rather stiff. This for a while threw a damper upon, the anticipated sport, but when the animals came to be harnessed and put to. the sulkies, and driven up and down a few times, it was evident that it would not effect their going much. The odds were decidedly in' favor of Polk, however, and five, six, seven, and ten to one, were ottered freely, and not very free ly; taken cither." The same paper, moreover, states that he Calhoun ?ider used a great deal of un justifiable jockeyship. Here the political parallel ends, as also in another respect. Calhoun has never yet been. beaten ! Let no one who struggled through the last political campaign, less for Iheadvauce ment of men than for the assertion of great principle's, suffer himself to doubt for a . moment that every just expectation will be realized by the administration. The views f 1 he President and his cabinet, upon all -leading measures, are well known, as is .also their "determination to carry out the wiH of those who placed them in power. I b.rc we have a sufficient guaranty that the principles and policy of the democratic par ty will be applied to the administration of afl tirs before the close of the next Congress. Hut we have something more tangible, though not more entitled to our belief,) 'liiti i!ic confidence justly reposed in the ad ministration upon which to base our expec tations from the future. We have explicit assurances that the present oppressive and uncqml tariff law will be promptly repeal ed; and that the money of the peop'e will once more be restored to the custody of their servants. The Hon. Robert J. Walker, 111 a letter from him, recently published in Mississippi, emphatically, "declare: "the ftirij'must be reduced lo a revenue stand ard." We understand, besides, that the dis tinguished Secretary lias for somo time past been busily engaged in preparing a system of financial measures, which will, wo pro sum, bo laid beforo Congress in his annual report to that body. This will effect a com plete and wo trust an eternal seperation bc iwccti the money of the people and banks nud private corporations, and place the cur rency of the nation upon a lastiugand sol id basis. Of course, the intimation of such intentions will be met by iho whole batch of manufacturers and bankitcj with a yell of disapprobation, which w'ill ring loud aiid long through the Jand. The opposi tion of these geutryisnotof such conse quence as it was some eight or teu years a'o, however. Their claws have been rul in the mean time; and indeed, we have nioio to fear from their hostility.

A. (J. Jfjersoman. Lure for Summer Complaint. The Baltimore Sun furnishes the following as a certain remedy for that dangerous disease among children, known as the Summer Complaint. The remedy is simple and harmless, and we commend it to parents and others for trial: Put three-fourths of a lea spoonful of now- !crod rhubarb, and one tea spoonful of inr.gticsia into a tea cup; and pour it full of loiang water, let it statu! till it is cool and then pour the liquid ofT, to which odd two ten spoon?-ful of good brandy nnd sweeten n-ell wiih loaf sugar; give a child of from one to three years old a tea spoonful five or six limes a day. For food, take a dou ble handful of flour, tio it upiu a cloth and toil it three hours; hen cold, take offlhe oukrcovcitng of paste nnd grate the hard white suliftaucc ttia sufficient quantity to thicker with inilk, boil it a minute of two, Mir it with a tticlc of cinnamon and sweet en it.

U. S. Journal. , , . , Sea Pj!ar. The Portland'1 Hulletln de- scribes what it calls a "sea pear," which may be found beueath the waves along tha sea coast of our state. Off Frenchman's bay the fishermen frequently drag samples of it up, attached to their kellecks or anchors. It adheres by sprangly roots to the mud in deep water, has avegetable steraabout three feet in length, to which the animal portion, which in shape is like a pear, attaches. It is difficult to determine exactly where the vegetable emerges into the animal, but it is by no means so difficult to perceive that the lower portion in reality is fa veget able and the upper part of an animal nature. When handled the animal portion shrinks within itself until it becomes as hard al most as stone. Oft dissection, organs of di gestion, respiration, and the various other appurtenances of organized beings, are readily perceived and it is evidently sus ceptible of pain. ' Vermont Girls.--A wrker down cast, in describing the Vermont Girls, says: ' Un tho north side of Ulack mountain is a cluster of some half dozen houses, in a vale, which spot is called the Bosom, but from what cause I do not know. The presiding geniuses of the place are a band of girls, weighing two hundred poHnds apiece, who farm it with their fathers foi a living, but whose principal amusement is rattle snake hunting. Their favorite play ground is the notorious cliff on Tongue mountain, where they go with naked feet (rowing their own boats across the' Lake.) and pull out by their tails from tho rocks the pretty playthings, and snapping them to death, lay ihcin away in a basket as trophies ofiheir skill. I was told that in one day last year they killed the incredible number of eleven hundred." That's right galls, slay urn; what right had they to fool old mama Eve? you're obeying the scripture, for it says:, "Woman shall mash the serpa til's head.' P. Devil. Employers. They that are in power should be extremely cautious to commit tho cxccuiiou of their plans not only to those who are able, but to those who are willing. As servants and instruments, it is the duty of the latter to do their best; but the employers arc- never so sure of them as when their duly is also their pleasure. To commit the execution of a purpose to one who disproves of tho plan cfif, is to employ but one-third of the .man; his heart and his head .are against you you have commanded only his hands. Colton. Pleasure. The only truo and solid pleasure results from the reflection of hav- uig Hone our duty to dod, our fellow crea tures and ourselves; ' having a conscience void of offence towards God and man.'

The improvements and discoveries now making and having been made, in every department of science, and particularly in Agriculture, induces us to make the pre sent effort. ; . Hitherto the citizens of this portion of the State have beeii engaged in other pur suits, and have neglected, or have been somewhat indiffereut about the cultivation of the soil; but this country -affords no lon ger a spontaneous herbage for the nume rous hocks of cattle heretofore reared: and we have to resort to the cultivation of the soil. We well know that the present sys tem of farming cannot last. Instead of clearing more and more land, we must seek the means of reclaiming that which is already impoverished by unwise or con stant cultivation, or both. V : One of the objects of this Society is to supply this defect. We hope we shall be met by all of our agricultural friends on the abovo occasion. W. P. CHERRY, -WILLIAM HARTFIELD. I II.

It will be his endeavor to combine in nractie. nil that he has found by long experience, and uy nuenuve owervation-on the different systems of teaching best calculated to ex cite an ardor for study in the youthful mind, ond to fapilitate its progress. A very common defect in schools, paj- uciiinriy in inose 01 a rngncr grade, is trie undue timo and attention paid by teachers to the more advanced pupils, to the great noglect of the younger ones. Parents are therefore often obliged to withdiaw their children, after they have lost Iheir time, and what is far worse, contract lad habits, and a dislike for study, aiid to place them in schools of less pretentions, wnere indeed more attention may be paid by the teacher; but the danger is incurred of placing them in unexperienced ond incompetent nands. Hence it is, that we see so tew youths who fiave attained to the age of 14, possessed of more than a third of the acquirements which could have been made under proper management. It is lamentable to think how many years of childhood ,and early youth are frequently lost at school, to say expense incurred in the meantime. Let it not be said that much must not be expect ed from pupils from the ogeof7 orS to 14 or 15. Even tho infant mind is capable of wonderful progress, as must be admitted by every one who will observe the readi ness wiih which an infant acquire langu age from its nurse or little play mate. But that the progress of young pupils may be proportionate to their capacity, the art of the teacher must be employed to make them love school; they must be kept busy during school hours; they must not be set aside for hours at a time to prepare a lesson, but they must be frequently. cal led for recitation. , In order then to give due time and at tention lo nil, lo awaken and keep- tip a spirit of emulation, nnd to increase the ad vantages, and facilitate many of the exer cises of the Academy, none will be receiv ed who js above 15 years -of age, or who can not be conveniently classed. It is easi ly fpreseeu that this regulation may retard ine increase 01 pupils and render the school less profitable, but it will be attended with less labor for the Teacher, more justice to mo rnpiis, and eventually with more creou 10 mc Academy. As all knowledge is only desirable so far as it cau be made useful, .great care win uo taKen to give every branch that is studied, a practical turn, and to show its connection with the business of life. The Pupils will be frequently required to write letters in me uitlerenl languages they may Desiuuymg, ana to compose on subjects connected with their actual studies: and as additional means of acquiring a practical knowlcdjcof a foreign lnn!ruiije, tho stu dents will Ikj restricted, at stated times, to. the exclusive uso of it on ihe play-ground, and in uie lamuy or social circle; Ihey will also ireqticmiy attend conversation clas scs and perform dialogues or short Slavs in the languages which they wish to learn to speaic.
