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 Michigan Farmer Business Cards.

Sept. 16th, ly ^^ 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.

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.

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.

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 it will fulfill its "manifest destinyrin Brazil, as every where else. DON PIATT pleasantly speaks of Grant as "a stolid, brass-mounted po-litical howitzer, whose bore isin reverse magnitude to his calibre." 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. MIDNIGHT. Mother, is it the morning yet f I dreamed 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.

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!

DAVID GAMTWXLL, D.D., Wi tbe eldest son of Andrew and Cnldwell, and was born in county, Pennsylvania, In tbe year 1 He studied with Mr. Smith somewhere in the eastern put of Pennsylvania, who kept a classical school, (and who wee probably tbe rather of the Rev^. Samuel Stanhope Smith, D. D., after-wards President of the College of New Jersey), and for the purpose of accom-plishing his object, in the pursuit off knowledge, and in order to complet* his studies, which he pursued witi such avidity, ho generously relinquish-ed to his younger brothers all claim to any share in his father's estate, on con ■ dition that they would furnish him the means to carry him through college with which proposition they readily complied. In contemplating the character, ant) tracing the progress ot any man, whit has filled a large share in the public eye,and for a time swayed the deatiueis of millions, or who has in a more silent and unobtrusive way, exerted a sain to-ry 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? ** ferent States, many more became mem-bers 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.*.

Doctor, who sent her haek word that she must trMt them noMtety and furnish them the best supper her house could afford, only she must 1* 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 dressing* circular letter to theehnrebfes under the care of the synod, and of this committee the Kev.

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." FROM rosy mom to dewy eve, who is it makes my soul to grieve, and after all doeatake French leave T My Biddy.
