As wo want our readers to know liow tobvliave thomstlvc wht-n out from homo we ubjoin tho following from a Washington letter writer. Wo only nJ J: please don't go to putting on thexe fit) airi atliomc and amonj respectable people: Jcver, or vcfj rarely, ofler to carry a lad? shawl or parasol, or put your hand on her shoulder or round her waist (as is so often dune) in assting her out of the carriage, or into her seat. To a delicate woman all such clapping and clawinj i the moat insullcntblo rudeness. The proper wajr when you alight, is to oiler your lett arm as a support for the lady's rihthand, and to hold your riht hand in readiness, should the exigencies of Airt, tkc, permit her taVing it whh her left. In ascending n staircase, keep side by ido with the lady, but do not du too oatentacious in otlerinjj your arm, lest in the attempt to take it sho neglects the management of her skirt, steps on her dress, and cither fädls or tears it out at the waist. If you attend two ladies, place the one next you who is entitled cither by rank or preference, to the post of honor but on no account whatever walk between them. A man with a lady on ach arm is a laughable paraphraso of h donkey laden with two paniers. Observe a different rule, however, in taking yourplacti in a concert room. The gentleman in those should be pre cccdedand followed by a lady. At a tabic, a gentleman and lady who have a guest ( I peak now of the hotel table for we are really getting to know scarcely any other in this country,) should ' always place him or her between. If the guests are also two, then you placo your lady guest between your wife and yourself, whilo tho gentleman takes the other end of the Hoc, leaving the ladies in the middle. The logic, as well as tho convenience of all these little arrangements, will be suggested by a single thought and how much cwkwardness and conseijucnt mortification and annoyance, would be avoided by a careful observance of these simple rules. There is ouc practice among gentleman at theatres, concerts, dzc, which ouzht to be condemned and tabooed as a monstrous barbarism; that is, leaving a lady alone once or twice in the course of the evening and going out to 'take a drmk. I his desUblo haoit is purely American, and it certainly is a ali 'ht which no lady of spirit ought to endure As to che win1', of course no gentleman can do that in the presence of ladies. Another uiraceful thing is the w-ty in which ladiessit all tho evening with a gentleman's arm pressed closely around the back of the neck, in a manner which anywhere ehe, would be called down right hugging This last paragraph is orthodox

TSE SEWING CIRCLE: CIIAPTETl 3. "There eome extv pilou man an' woman, But ttii i gentry life in common." There was a little Interruption in tho conversation of the ladles of the Union Miasionary Sewing Society, occasioned by the entrance ol u member. She i .r I .ii:.. 1 I came; in panting inn rumujr ty nur ur'o blue eyes, as 11 she had been driven in by a clap of thunder, and threw herself, apparently exhausted, on the first scat which presented tueir, ana begged some of the ladies to give her a glass of water. She was a very fine looking woman, as Mrs. Jenkins said. If she would only let herself be, but she put on so many airs and outundisn ways, and claimed so many attentions, that there was nothing of herself left. She was quite tall, her forehead high and expansive, for a woman's to be, but Mrs. Stella White Ilumsey thought she had as good a right to use certain fine sharpeded inatruments as the other sex, and there was no reaaon she could not have as intellectual a forehead is any one else. So alio shaved it up in front, to auit hsr ideas of a model brow. She was a poetess, and hai written many communications over thesignature of "Stella Sebella." She occupied the poet's corner in tho Ilap-IIazard Telegraph. She was, a harinleas member of tho Society. It is true, she did very lit tle towards its advancement. She was ever so completely wrapped up In her own wild cogitations, that the gossip flew by her "like tho Idle wind, which she regarded not." Whenever her vote was needed, or her opinion desired, (which the ladies sometimes did her tho compliment to crave) her thoughts had gone forth into the interminable fields of imagination. Sometimes sho was stated in a "bower of roses by lledeinoer's stream," or in A gorgsoutlull Lighted far up for fealivel; Braided tresses aaJ cheeks of blsom, Diamond agafl", and milk-white plunej Cencer of roeon, light, Like what the inooa sheds oo aiuminrt't and maiden with linked hauJs Joined In Hie graceful saraband, or roaming through Eden with Milton or with tho lovely young Lnvinin, gleam ing l'shrinon's fields or lingering in tho Ji-rtiliti ol her own poetical vision. After recovering her composure, sho begged the ladies to excu her late arrival. She said she had become so intensely engrossed in her boo, that she was perfectly unconscious of the rapid, ityof time. Before she was awaro of it.ahe found herself wandoring wit!t Bryant in his autumnal woods.

"Where the giy compiny of trees look down On the green fi-IJ bei 0 nr." Ain't he hrsieuj'1 whispered Mrs.

Jenkins to Mr. Smith. "I'd be ashamed to tell it trump njj through the commons with a man a married man, too. It ain't fair if I was Mrs. Bryant, I'd hoist her, certain." u She means the poet," siiJ Mrs. Smith. "It matters not what ho Is; ho is no great shakes, or he would not be leading another mmi's wife astray." Mrs. Smith put her foot on Mrs. Jenkins's toe; Mrs. Lawson looked at Mrs. Paine, and smiled knowingly. Mrs. Stella White Ilumsey fanned herself, declaring she wtvs nearly expiring with heat that she was quite fa-. ged out; for the last week she had been draped from pillar to post, In her late visit to Cincinnati. She declared folks had no mercy no feeling. 'That Is tho natural consequence of bcinj a lioneas," sal J Mrs. Uerryman, with a wicked twinkle of her eye. "If you will dance, yov must pay the piper." "Hotv do you think Harriet Deccher Stowe Hands it! Did you ever reaJ Uncle Tom' Cabin!" Never," said Mrs. Ilumsey; "I im very sure nothlnj could bo interesting where the hero is a great double-jointed negro." llutit is interesting," said Mrs. Lnw. son; " I know it don't pretenJ to be a his tory of the rcut and the ritined; it was written to do good; I could not put it down alter I took it up until I put through. When Lotty Jane got hold of it, I thought in my soul she would have grow? J to the chair; says 1,'LuUy, come to .upper I" 'Oh! mother,' she ays, 1 can't eat while Eliza is walking over the river with her boy;' and how the poor thing cried when that monster had poor, dear, old Uncle Tom flogged." "Lai Miss Lawson, 1 thought you ICantuck lulka believed iu flowing!" "Not that kind, and under such circumstances, such a faithful creature. Uuht I to put a rulllo ou this sleeve, Miss Jenkins!" "If you have bits enough left, you had a well aet it ofT a little; ii will give it a finished look. Did you say J'riscelU Vauli was a medium 1" "Yea I did that very tiling." 'She denies it, and says alio never had a communication with a spirit in her life." "I said she was a medium for tattlers; as to the spirits, Mrs. Laws in, all I luvo to aay ie, thero are more kiuJs than one." "Do you believe) In tho rappers!" "I cannot aiy that I do; but there Is something mi jhty alrano in it." vVcre you ever at Mrs. Maker's, to see the medium from Cincinnati!" "Shaw," said Mia Fobua, ",t Is all humbu, and if t w.s fact that were done, it is witchcralt, and as such I echdw It." "It is very nieer you will allow that, Miss Fubi'S. Vou know Tilm m Barm!"

"Mrs. Ltwson, that is so:no of Tilman's yarns." "lie says he saw it." "Does tiie Doctor believe in It!" "In course ho does; ho has had communication with several spirits." "Some of his departed patients!" says Mrs. Berry man. "Has ho quit drinking!" asked Mrs. Tucker. 'Yes I believe so." "It ha como to him lately .thon" said l'inklon. "Ever since his shop burned down, you know everybody said that he set it on tire himelf, with m'xiug up his truck, when he was tight." 'Mrs Tucker, I would notliva with a drunkard; it ia dangeroue. Now, there is Mrs. Williams, the can't be perauadod to leave her husband; sho loves him in spite ol everything."

Mrs. Jenkins declared that the sun was down, and it was time to sdjouru. The ladies themselves began to imagine that domestic alTair needed some little attention; so they fn'ded up the garments they had finished, packod away the remnants for future consideration; then, gathering bonnets and shawls, sacks and mantillas, they went though the parting scenes as usual; and as some of my readers have never been so fortunate as to partake'' of the hospitalities of the west, 1 will proceed with my delineation.

Ma. Editor: It is well known to those who have thought upon the subject of education, that common schools are of more importance to community than any other subject that can present itself to tho mind, and in writing upon them, I will assume the position that they are conducted properly, in reference to government, system and

instruction. In tho first place, in tho common school, children, notonly learn govern ment, out learn to govern themselves, thuy not only become acquainted with good order, but the principles which constitute gooj government become established habits, which aro vicious and demoralizing in their naturo and tendency, are corrected; and moral sentiments, if not ret, are established and perpetuated. Tho common schools may properly bo called tho e . t 'i i . i ? i nursery ot tue juvenile mtnu, in which i all tho moral sentiments are brought j forth, and cultivated; and as morality is the foundation upon which CArwi-1 amty rests; without which the Bible with all us doctrines and teaching, would be of no benefit whatever to man; how important it is, that they are not only well guarded nnd regulated, but encouraged and improved, by all, for the good and welfare of society. Iu the second place, in the common school, children learn system that is they become habituated, notonly.havc a placo for every thing, but keep everything in its proper place, but to attend to everything and study at their proper time. In our common schools, as well as in everyother situation of life, a well regulated system of doing busi ness, 14 an essential to their prosperity as government itself; and yet how ölten are pupils permitted to change seats at pleasure, have their books iVc, in ditleront'places, and study each brunch they are learning, every 15 or 20 min utes, such a procedure, generally, re sults it disorder und confusion, nnd consequently tho bench tor improvement, will be but little. In tho third place, in tho common n"hoil, they become familiar with tho-o branches, vt hielt, not uu!y" eonstiiuko the foundation of an English education, but prepare them lor usefulness in every situation, in which thuy may be placed in subsequent life. I need not hero slop to initon the great importance of tho teachers of our common schools, being well acquainted with the correct principles of those branches they teach, in order to imparl correct instruction to their pupils; for this is already assumed, nnd is well known by all. The injurious results of those schools, which aro improperly conducted, in the aUove respects, can well be imagined; tho teachers themselves have been taught in such, and those of their pupils, who may becomo teachers, in all probability, will continue tho same kind; therefore, I again, repeat how importaut it is, that pupils aro taught correctly, in our common schools. In order that our common schools prove successful, parents and guardians should do their duty, in co-operating with teachers in this great work; for it is well known thnt parental influence with children is greater than any other; and a few words said by parents in the presence of their children, cither in favor of, or against, a teacher, will advance or impede their progress in learning very materialy. In thoso schools where parents do their duty in thus co-operating with teachers; everything appears to prosper with interest and harmony, and to the teachers the duties of the uchool room, are pleasant and agreeable. N. F. WEI BEL. Eaton Ohio, April 5, 1861. Fairfield Aran. 0, 1051. Mr. Editoii: Since your visit to our place there have some things transpired that may bo worthy of note. Tho bidding in which you said tho goat was kept, is now 6o far completed that Messrs Inving have removed their store to the lower part of it. And Ave understand commenced with a heavy stock of goods. Persons wishing to purchase articles in their line would do well to cull and examine thir stock. Tho other merchants of the placo are doing a prosperous business. Wo believe their motto is quick sales at small profits. This is our Election day, nnd everything appears to be passings smoothly along. Wo have seen no men in our streets receling under the influence of alcohol. Nor heard any quarreling, so that we believe, on the whole, we have a tolerably moral town. Dr. Dutum the man celebrated for taking pretty pictures from ugly faces, has left our place, and returned to Brookvilie. We believe tho doctor to bo a pretty clover fellow. But. Mr. Editor, we feel a little liko quarreling with you for being so partial in bestowing your flattery. We cannot see why vou should select thnt sturdy Hon of vulcan to be the sole object. To confess tho truth, wo feel a little insulted. We think you might have been a little more liberal, and given us all a little. However as that dirty blacksmith has left our place, we think we may stand some chance next lime, should you be favoured with our acquaintance. If it were worth while, wo might fall out with clean water, and good tailors, for

bringing that fellow out of the dirt, but it won't pay.. President Locke preached here at our place last Sabbath on the witness of the spirit, Christian responsibility, and Christian privilege The sermon was excellent, and delivered in u familiar manner and was impressive.'

If you plough, plough deep: ne rer less than six inches, and then put your sub-soil plou-'h one foot below your sod plough's furrow then pulverizt thoroughly. If you plant corn, furrow your ground off three and a half feet apart and cross at tho sarao distance, and be suru you drop the kernels of your corn from two to two and a half inches apart in tho hill. Nothing is more injurious than to drop six oreight kernels in the circumference of a cent. . ' j If you put your crop in of wheat, fail not to drill it, and put one bushel and a half to iho acre. If you sow broad- j cast, put on two bushels, und sow between the löihof August and tho middle of September. Early sowing succeeds the best as a general thing. By it you escape the rust and the winter's freeze. If you sow oats, never delay 'till after he tenth of April. Oats sown in March will always produce the heaviest crop. Potatoes should never bo planted after the tirst of .May. Early planting succeeds best. To raise a irood crop of good potatoes, you should never manure tho ground stable manurt will give the potatoc a liability to rot Rotation in crops is essentially neces sary to the maintainanco of a fruitful soil. And with a view to this, I would J advise the farmer to divide his farm 'into e ijht cf tnual size. Three held should be sown in wheat each year, one with rye or bailey, one plan ted in corn, two in clover and one left anoptfn fallow. If the farmer own land enough, one held should bo put in meadow. The open fallow should be the field on which corn has been planted the previous year. Keep one clover ileld for mowing and tho other for pasture, and break both up immcdi lately after harvest, and prepare them It Hw"tlW - Jrr - the vcitr accumulation of manure bo hauled out upon the open fallow in the spring. I t. .aa aaa a. . w 1 1 ins iieid should be ploughed, harrowed j and cross ploughed twice through the summer, und also put in wheat in the fall. The field on which barley or rye is sown is a field from which wheat has been taken the same year, e nd which has yielded three successive crops. iThe rye or barley should be succeeded by a crop of corn. The rye lield being work cd in corn and ihen fallowed, as above, no rye can be left to mix with the wheat. To prepare the rye field for corn, it should be ploughed immediately after harvest tho stubble : turned under to rot through the winter. , Clover seed should bo sown on two of the wheat fields early in the spring. The two wheat fields last manured should bo clovered. I By this method each of tho eight fields yields three crops of wheat, one of rye or bailey, two of clover and ono ofcorn every eightyears. In tho mean ' time each field has Iain an open fallow I and has received a heavy dressing of manure. With this process of rotation in crops tho farmer may expect 1600 bushels of wheat (the fields containing not less than IU acres) C50 bushels of barley 000 bushels of corn, at least, and if clover seed is gathered from one field cadi year, it will not yield less than &2QQ worth at present prices. The income from a farm of 14Uacr'S cleared cannot be less than two thousand dollars per annum. The farmer cannot help but say that larming after the loregoitig plan clovering, manuring, &c, will increase the fertility ol the soil andpay him well lor his paius. Now, to accomplish this good, the farmer must have good tools, good fencing, and a good shelter for his stock. He must not bo one of those shiftless, slip-shod loafers who spends more than half his time at the retailer's bar. No such man ever was, or ever can be a successful farmer. Your expert farmer puts things through in the shortest notice. If a tree is to be planted, he takes it up, not from the roots, but by the roots, and plants it in a broad hole, dug up and learned up in the most suitable manner, and after it is planted he keep it free from grass and weeds. His ploughing is always dono in seasonable time, and ho is sure to plough it over once, after he thinks ho has ploughed enough. Ho never sows his wheat broad-cast nnd harrows it so imperfectly as to leave one-fourth to bo dovoured by the fowl of heaven. Tho good farmer will sow bountifully of clover, timothy and other seeds to forestall the mullen, tho foxtail, the ra.' weed nnd daisy. He roll.his wheat. Ins nvadow and his crn ground. II keeps his orchard pruned nnd protects his coftiticld against grass and weeds its well in June and July as in August and September. And he prevents the occurrence of grass spots and weedy places. He ploughs his ground thoroughly when he breaks it up. and never lets his weeds go to seed. The thrifty farmer does everything in its season. He plough and hoe, and reaps and mows, in short, he takes time by the forelock, and shove his,

work, and is al ways careful not to have his work shove him. Farming conducted after the forego ing manner, will contribute eminently to the general utility of all around the vicinity of such farming. Such farming will be imitated by neighboring farmers and all such exemplary farmers prove, (in the language of Scripture) that they "live not to themselves. Tho good farmer is, therefore, a public ben el actor. Every farmer should be careful to improve his stock of domestic animals. I have frequently had occasion to remark that the farmer who repudiates fine stock, and who always qrowt hit

$erubt by accident, it invar iuÜy himself a tcrub, and should be dubbed the tcrubblest of all tcrubs. Finally, good farming invariably in sures respectability. o youngsters should be more respectable than the si r . . piougn-ooys ana usiry maids, ami nocitizen more honored than tho intelligent industrious man of the soil. And every farmer, considering the interest of his craft and of hiscountrv, will not fail to. give lus children each a trood education to ut incm lor uio practical amies of lie. I he state of the world, and particularly America, is becoming 60 improved in science and literature, that those who have not a good education have not a common chance in society. riicreforc, as . good society is to bo desired next to pure and wndefiled religion, it is important that the farmer's children should inherit tho blessed boon. God speed the plough until the earth is made a paradisical Eden; and every one have his garden where he can sit under his hg tree and vine none daring to molest or make afraid. From the New Albany Tribune. ALBANY ATD MADISDIT AD THZnt r AILS;) AD INT RESTS. At a railroad meeting recently held it Eaton, Ohio, called doubtle at tbe Instance of our Madison friends, Gen. StrP of that ".ity being principal speak er, the following resolution waa adop ted: "Un motion of T. J. I.a:ah. It w unonimoutly resolved. That this meet in? hold it to be the true policy to make Aladiaon, Indiana, a point on this great thoroughfare from the N. E. to the S. W. and it is hereby urged upon tho dircctora of said road to consummate such a location.' This Mr. Larsh, upon whoso motion the above resolution was adopted is the editor of the Eaton Register, who from tho beginning, has tome how or other allowed his teal for the Interests of MadUun to outrun hia knowledge of the difficulties with which the subject ia environed. In his editorial remtrks, which may be found in another column, he says the differences between New Albany and Madison must be compromised, and be intimates that the difficulty lies In a spirit of local prejudice and rivalry between the two cities. If he means to apply this to New Albany he does her great injustice indeed. It certainly would be greatly to the interests of New Albany, commercially considered to mako Madison in the direct line of our road to the Lake; and so far as we understand the feelings of our people they all desire to make that a point on this groat thoroughfare, provided it were practicable, keeping iu view directness of route, lowness of grade, cheapness of construction, and the general interest of the road jury cannot conceive now any inciUi J. i ,k 'J?" Madison bv ihe construction of this road thro, gh that city, could possibly Inuro to tbe injury ol Iew Albany.

Supp, the gentleman who addresaed the meeting at Eaten, to be the only practicable basis ofa compromise that could be 0 tie red or adopted. But our good friend of the Eaton Register says tnere should be but one road Irom the Falls to the Lake. In that we agree with him. And thia road he thioka should have its starting point at New Albuny, and pass directly through the city ot Madiaon. Agreed again, it auch a thing be practicable, without sacnticing tno vitality ol the great enterprise. But he seems to beeo well posted up in regari to the topography ot the country about Madison, that he can aee no dilhaar r. cully lathe way ofita accomplishment.

Wrightfiom the"New Era," the Ternpcrance paper published at Lexington: Gov. WaicKT or Isdiaka. Our leaders have all heard of Governor Wright's visitto our State recently, upon the, invitation ot Gov. Powell, llie Excellency also accepted the hospitalities of Lexington and Louisville. During all the round of feaatlng, Gov. Wright never tasted any epirituoue or malt liquor, wine or cider. We have learned, moreover, from one fully informed in the matter, that during the five yetra he has held the office of Governor, no intoxicating drink have been uaed in the Executive Manaion. Gov. Wright's viailera must "find their own liquors." Indiana may well be proud of her Governor. How worthy thia conduct In the chief executive of a great State the bead ot 2'olice.
