SALTING MILK COWS.
William Egger, of Lewis county, N.
York, a Swiss dairyman of experience
give* the method practiced in SwiUer-land
by the best Btock-keepers in salt-ing
stork. He says that the cows
should be salted early every morning,
and if they are fed in the stable, the
salt should be given before foddering.
Salting in this way improves their
appetite; they drink with more regu-larity,
are kept in better health and
give more milk than s-hen salted in the
usual way as practiced by the dairy-men
of America.
He thinks it very injurious to salt
milk cows only once a week, as they
will lick too much salt at one time,
and drink too much water for the day.
To have stock do well, they must be
fed with regularity, every day alike,
and never given too much of anything
at one time. He says throwing a lit-tle
salt before the cows in the morning
is much better than to let them have
the free use of it during the day or at
all times, as they choose to take it;
because, as it is not taken with regu-larity,
it has a very important influ-ence
in lessening the average yield of
milk. Cows, he says, should never be
salted after taking water, and then
and have no chance to drink for hours,
as the irritation on account of thirst
will of itself operate to depreciate the
quality ofthe milk and lessen the qnan-tity.
These facts he says he learned
from one of the best and most success,
full stock keepers in Switzerland, and
lias loimil by repeated experiments in
his own practice the best course adop-ted
by dairymen in salting cows in or-der
to get the most milk, and at the
same time keep them in good health

The culture of the beet is said to be
worth more to a country as a fertiliser
than the product directly derived from
the) treatment of the root, the waste
pulp proving more valuable than the
sugar. It is fed to barned cattle in
large quantities. It is stated that in
France, where the business haa grown
to enormous dimensions, the increase
in cattle on account of beet pulp is
wonderful. In the district of. country
surrounding the city of Valenciennea,
where, before the production of beet
sugar, 700 oxen was the total amountr
11,500 was the total amount raised
last year. But this is not all. This
enormous increase Of Stock has so
mnch advanced the fertility of the
land that 192,000 bushels more of
wheat is raised in the same district per
annum than was ever raised in previ-ous
years.—N. Y. Commercial Bulletin.

OLIVE CCLTOBE m THE SOUTH.—
It is said that the olive has been cul-tivated
in Florida and on the coast is-lands
of Georgia for nearly a half cent-ury.
At St. Simon' % and Cumberland
islands there are at the present time
many standard bearing trees—on the
latter more than one hundred—from
which considerable quantities of olives
are obtained. The oil yielded by them
is represented as fully equal to the best
quality of French oil. What is it that

BOOK FARMING.—Wo are social be-ings,
and like to tell each other what
we have accomplished; and likewise,
we like to hear how others have suc-ceeded
in accomplishing some desire or
end. To gain this end it is necessary
that we have some medium through
which to convey our thoughts to each
other, and no other method baa suc-ceeded
so well as the pen, through the
printing press. If the religious aud
political societies call to their aid the
printing press, why not the agricultu-rist

For the Patriot.
PUBLIC OPINION NOT ALWAYS A
JUST CRITERION OF CHARACTER.—
We take this ground, first, because of
the fallibility of mere opinion. It is
said by metaphysicians, that the mind
iutuitively entertains au opinion of
every individual it comes in contact
with, on the first sight. Indeed it is
characteristic of human kind to make
up an opinion in regard to the traits
and manners of every individual of
whom they have ever heard or read,
though not seen. In either case, this
opinion is merely incidental, arising
from the occasion, the time, the place,
the mental and physical condition of
the parties meeting, and nameless and
numberless other circumstances con-nected
with the meeting, or with the
history of individuals. liut as these
external and historical impressions as
often prove erroneous as true, we come
to the conclusion that mere opinion is
not au infallible criterion of character
or principles. That all are liable to err
iu their opinions of persons and thiugs,
is a fact so frequently exemplified in
every day life, that it needs no com-ment.
Xow, if prirute or individual
opinion is thus liable to deception, much
more so is public opinion. For the rea-sons
that it is more credulous, endors-ing
everything that 'Dame Rumor' re-ports
upon her pretended oracular au-thority,
and acts in its decisions, gen-erally,
from mere hearsay. And for
tha additional reason, that it hears and
entertains all rumors, false or other-wise,
in regard to any occurrence, and
makes up au opinion without being a
party to the scene,or knowing anything
about the circumstances, except from
rumor. Thus it often becomes one of
the unjust tribunals of this world, tak
ing up an individual residing hundreds
of miles distant, and without his con-sent,
without no opportunity for him to
defend himself, immolating him upon
the altar of the insatiable God, Public
Sentiment. It is generally on extremes.
It magnifies little kindness into great
benefactions, small performances into
splendid feats, and exagerates petty
misdemeanors into flagrant crimes.—
On the whole, we think it is very pos
sible for public opinion, at times, to
be wrong, and consequently, not au
infallible criterion of character.

PARAGUAY has abolished slavery.—
The provisional govermeut at Asuntion
has issued a decree to that effect; also
ordaining that six months nfter the
promulgation ofthe decree all men set-ting
foot on the soil of Paraguay shall
be free.
We believe that shivery is now entire-ly
destroyed throughout South Amer-ica
with the excepteon of lirazil, in
which country it has been dj ingout ev-er
since the abolition ofthe slave trade,
which was the only thing that kept it
up. It is now but nominal even in two-thirds
of that vast country and it would
have been by this time abolished
throughout the empire but for the Par-aguayan
war. As soon as that ends

They say to night is Christmas Eve,andrhigh
as I could reach,
Pre bung my stockings on the wall, and left
a kiss on each.
I left a Uas on each for Him who'll fill my
etoekings quite;
He never came before, but 0, Tm sore He
will to-night.
And to-morrow'11 be the day our blessed
Chriit was born,
Who came on earth to pity me, whom many
others scorn,
And why it is they treat me so indeed I can-not
tell,
Bnt white I love Him next to you, then all
seems wise and well.
I long have looked tor Christmas, Mother—
waited all the year;
And very strange it is indeed to feel itadawa
so near;
But to-morrow '11 be the day I so have pray-ed
to see,
And I long to sleep and wake, and find what
it will bring to me.
Tbe enow ie in the atreet, and through the
window all tbe day
I've watched the little children pass: they
seemed so glad and gay 1
And gayly did they talk about the gifts they
would receive;—
O, sll the world is glad to-night, for thie is
Christ nlas Eve! .
And, Mother, on the cold, cold floor I've pot
my little shoe—
The other's torn across the toe, snd thing*
might there slip through ;
I've act my little shoe, Mother, and it for you
shall be,
For I know that He'll remember yon while
He remembers mo.
So lay me in my bed, Mother, and hear my
prayers aright,
He never came before, but, O, I'm sure He
will to-night.

that it was here;
I thought tbe sun shone through the pane.
so blessed and so clear.
I dreamed my little stockings tbeie, were full
as they could hold,
But its hardly morning yet, Mother—it is so
dark and cold.
I dreamed the bells rang from the church
where the happy people go.
And they rang good-will to all men in a lan-guage
that I know.
I thought I took from off the wall my little
stockings there,
And on the floor I emptied thorn—auch sights
there never were!
A doll was in there, meant for me, just like
those little girls
Who always turn away from me; and O, it
had *i""A curls 1
I kissed it on its painted chock ; my own are
not so sweet,
Though people used to stop to pat and praise
them in the street.
And, Mother, there were many things that
would have pleased you too ;
For He who had remembered mc, had not
forgotten yon.
But I only dreamed 'twas morning, and yet
*t is far away,
Though well I know that He will come lie-fore
the early day.
So I will put my dream aside, thongh I know
my dream was true,
And sleep and dream my dream sgain, and
rise at mom with yon.
CHRISTMAS MORN.
THE MOTIIKR.
All night have I wakod with weeping till the
bells are ringing wild,
All night have I waked with sorrow, and
lain in my tears, like a child.
For over against the wall as empty aa they
can be,
The limp little stockings hang, and my heait
is breaking in mo I
Your vision was false as the world, O darliug
dreamer and dear!
And how can I bear yon to wake, and find
no Christmas here f
Better you and I were asleep in the slnnibr-r
whence none may start.
And O, those empty stockings! I could till
them out of my heart!
No Christmas for you or for mo, darling;
your kisses were all in vain,
I have given your kisses back to you over
and over again ;
I have folded you to my breast with a moan-ing
no one hears:
Your heart is happy in dreams, though your
hair is damp with my tears.
I am out of heart and hope , I am almost out
of my mind;
The world is cruel aud cold, aud only Christ
is kind:
And much must be borne and forborne ; bait
the heaviest burden of all,
That over hath lain eu my life are those lit-tle
light things on the wall.
Hush, Bells, you'll waken my dreamer! O
children, so full of cheer!
Hi- a in tie K-- glad, going by; there hath
been no Christmas here.
Go tenderly over the stones, O light feet trip-ping
a tune!
The slighted thing sleep- in my arms—she'll
waken loo soon, too soon !

and permanent influence over man-kind,
we feel some gratification in
knowing by what reasons he was lead
to pursue the course whioh he did, or
take any important step in that direc-tion
; but in this case we are left to
mere conjecture, from which no certain
conclusions can be drawn, nor any
confirmation of principles derived, bnt
it seems probable that about this time
he made a profession of religion. He
graduated at the Collegeof New Jersey,
iu the year 17«1, at the agi of thirty-six
years, and was ordained a minister
of the Gospel at Princeton the year
following, and in the year 1705 was
appointed by the Presbytery of Phil-adelphia
to labor as a missionary in
the churches of North Carolina, in-cluding
those of which he soon after-wards
became pastor. In visiting the
counties lying between the Yadkin
and Catawba rivers, as well as in
Guilford, he found many from Lancas
ter county whom he had known in his
youth, and while there, he formed, or
rather renewed, an acquaintance with
Rachel, the third daughter of the Rev.
Alexander Craighead, of Mecklenburg,
whom he had known in her childhood,
iu Lancaster county, and they were
nnited in marriage in the year 1776,
which had an important bearing on
his comfort and nsenflness through
subsequent life, with whom he lived
until his death, and by whom he had
eight sons and one daughter, who lived
to maturity, and survived him, (be-sides
three or four who died in their
infancy), five being born within the
space of two years. During the Revo-lutionary
war, part of which time her
husband had to conceal himself to save
his life, which had been imperiled by
the sermons he had preached, advocat-ing
the Revolution and encouraging
tbe men of his congregations to volun-teer
in the service of their conntry,
and his wife was turned ont of the
house while it was occupied by British
officers, and her only habitation, with
her infants, was an old smoke-honse,
with nothing whatever to subsist upon,
except a few dried apples and dried
peaches which were found among the
rubbish, and in this suffering condition
she was treated with great severity
.and indignity by the inferior officers,
until after the battle of Guilford Court
House.
He had been installed pastor of the
churches at Buffalo and Alamauce
long before the war, and in that station
he labored for about sixty years, and
in the meantime he labored on his
plantation, aad ditched and drained
the swamps and low lauds on his farm
with his own hands. The people of
bis congregations «t the time of their
organization, were mostly from his
own county of Lancaster, and had re-moved
there before him; many of them
ha-d known him from his childhood ;
tbev had been taught at the same
school and worshipped at the same
aaiict nary.
A company had been forme<l in I>an-easter
and Chester counties, called the
Nottingham Company, which sent out
Useir agents and purchased a large
are* of land in what is now Guilford
county, near the waters of Buffalo and
Reedy Fork, and when they were
making their arrangements to change
their residence, (which was about the
time he commenced his education),
the}" made a conditional agreement
with him, that, it Providence permit-ted,
when he obtained license to preach,
he would come out and be their preach
In connection with the ministry,
of his scholars became eminent aa
statesmen, lawyers, judgas^ physicians
and ministers of the Gospel, five of
his soholare became 0Wf?ft«H? **

of Congress, aaAny»»j^.fo«ty
ministers were educated, inwholhlot
in part, at his schooL, which served
the Oarolinas for many yettt bofli Be-fore,
and after the Revolution, as an
Academy, College and Theological
Seminary. He took an active and
leading part in the'great struggle for
American Independence, and had to
undergo great hardships, suffering and
imprisonment, while the British army
was encamped on his plantation, under
ConwaUis. - • '
Among the many incidents phjeh
have been reeerded of t his reaiarkablo
man, and the many anecdotes which
have been told concerning ,him, .we
may.'periupsi find room for this one,
for the purpose of illustrating the
character of the man, and which called
for tbe exercise of his different iiualjtie.*.
About the time that Cornwallis' amy

careful to take notice where they put
their guns, aud set the table in the
other end of the house; and In the
meantime he would go over and con-ceal
himself behind a certain haystack,
and while the men were in the other
end of the house demolishing the
viands on the table, without fearing
any danger, he went quietly into the
other apartment, took np one of their
guns which wns loaded, and stepping
to the door of the room in which they
were so comfortably employed, and
presenting arms, told them at the
same time that if they attempted to
er.
resist or make their escape, that their
lives would In- forfeited, and as neither
of them cared to die just at that time,
they surrendered at discretion, and he
marched them over to his own house
where he detained them over night,
aud in the morning put them on their
parole by making them take a solemn
oath on the family Bible that they
would not again take up arms against
the United States, nor in any way as-sist
the British or the Tories, whlah
promise they kept honorably and re-turned
to him on the day appointed.
After the war was over he was chosen
a member of the convention which
adopted the Federal Constitution, and
also a member of the Convention which
framed the Constitution of the State
of North Carolina, and when theByndd
of the Oarolinas held its first meeting,
which was held at Centre Church, in
the year 1778, a committee was ap-pointed
consisting of five ministers
and five elders, for the purpose of ad

under the care of the synod, and of
this committee the Kev. Dr. Caldwell
was appointed chairman. Hecontinued

A Bi.usn.—Goethe was in company
with a mother anil daughter, when tin-latter,
being reproved for something,
blushed and burst into tears. Hi' said
to the mother: "How beautiful your re-proach
has made yonr daughter ! That
crimson hue and those silvery tears be
come her much better than any ana-raeut
of gold or pearls; those may be
hung on the ueck of any woman ; those
are never seen connected with moral
purity. A fullblown flower sprinkled
with purest hue is not so beautiful »»
th is eh ild blushing beueath her parent's
displeasure, aud shedding tears of so»
row for her fault. A blush is the sigu
which nature hangs out to show where
chastity and honor dwell."
