A Tut partitdTof winter ltlllod wlmt comes in consequence of wanton neglect of tbe plaineat dictttea'of common muc, while putting in tbe eei, TbouaaJidj of acre are eowa ererr yaatr upon tvnllorr placea in tbe field which, although the richest anoti, are covered with a pool of water "whenerer a Deary rain Without offering our own npiniom or atopping to tliscrjM the mooted queation, whether wheat will produce chew or not, we can smfelv aar that all auch apota in the wheat field will be morelikely to produce It than the adjoining ground that it free frcm tandina; water; ana that ipota are often aeen at harreat, eurored with worthleet grain, when a ingle furrow or fifteen minutes labor, would hare ripened a drain and kept the aoil dry, and given the owner several buabeli of sound wheat for auch a Terr small outlay of labor.

It wanton waate of labor and seed to throw it away upon a flat clayey surface without turning water furrows to carry off the winter rains as they fall. It ta only upon such neglected spots that the advocates transmutation contend tbe change takes place. And as wheat is so much more valuable than chess, it is perfectly surprising that any people will prepare the ground exactly right to produce the latter. So well dothe wheat growersof lower Virginia understand the benefit, of drainage, that they sow almost imirervalry in beds, and in many places, these are only five feet wide; that is, the wheat is sown upon beda nf tbe aame width as Indian Corn is planted, and the advocates of narrow beds contend that ther can make mora wheat than those who sow upon nine or fifteen feet beds. Until American fanners learn tbe great value of underdraining, we must constantly remind them of the nocessity of keeping the surface dry by opening ditches.

To every one of our readers, therefore, who has an acre of wheat sown, we say most earnestly go at once and examine whether my little pools of water stand after a shower, and if so, tale steps immediately to drain it off as fast aa it falls, or you cannot expect to grow wheat. wougn you may grow cness or weeds. Patting Swine on Apples. The evidence that has heretofore been published, in regard to the Talun of apples as food for stock, is supported by tacts which are frequently brought to our knowledge. Mr.

James M. Ellis, of Onondaga Hill, lately stated to tu that he had tieen in the practice of using apples extensively for fattening bogs, for several years, and their value bad been proved to be such, that he deems it an object of profit to produce pork by the aid of apples, but would no( olherwue, so regard it lie has a large apple orchard, in which he allows Ins hogs to range most of the season. They are of much benefit to tbe trees by destroying many of the insects which the fallen fruit contains, and keeping the ground moist and rich. As the fruit approaches ripeness, the nutriment increases, and the bogs thrive faster. When nearly ripe, those Kvplea which are not readily marketable, and not suited to long keeping, are gathered and boiled, or steamed, and mixed with meal and the slops of the kitchen and dairy, constitute tbe fond for fattening hops.

The meal is increased towards the close of the fattening process, being at last equal to one fourtb of the bulk of apples. Mr. B. informs us that hi; pork is always of excellent quality, and is so regarded by nil who have purchased ft being solid, of good texture, and of a superior flavor. Allan) Cultivator.

The dwarfing of Fruit Trees tbe system much practiced nuw by our nurserymen.

It is at once useful, and fur small gardens particularly practical Trees thus treated take up but little space, nd a greater Tariety may be planted on limited irrounds.

ugwss Jik ECK. From the Mstoe Farmer. Gathering and Preserving Apples. The applf crop will not be a large one, this year, inAlatne. it ia true that ther, will be more Greenings aul Koibury russets gathered this ear than during the lajt, but still there will not be so many as we have oftentimes, and tbe Baldwins will be Tery few, indeed.

The season for ratherinc will soon be TJDon tis. and it is important that it should be done right Ever; one knows that an apple, in order to insure its preservation as long as possible, should not be bruised, but every one does not practice this rule. If they did they would pick them off carefully, by hand, and see that they were so gently handled that no sign of a bruise could be found. But this is too hard or too slow work for many, and so they ihnke them off, or'elub" them off, regardless what tuey hit, or where tbey falL The bruises not only cause the apple to decay much sooner, but it injures the texture and flavor of it, even if used for cooking. Some pcopleare in the habit of picking or gathering their winter fruit before it is fairly ripe, in order that it may shrink or wither a little, aa it will by the escape of the thin, watery, or unripe juice in it Apples thus used will keep longer, but they never have that sprightly and true taste that they ilo when troflered to hang on the tree until more ma.

tared. Apples should be gathered carefully, when mature, and placed in a cool place. Jinny of our orcbardists put them immediately into barrels, and head them up in the orchard, others carry them to some outhouee, where they can be placed in a pile, in order to swear, as it is called, which is probably owing to the escape of what fluid may tie in tbeoi, that has not been elaborated into the peculiar juice of the fruit itselC After tbey have irmlcrerjoe this process, they are sorted o.er, and barreled, or put into bins in cool cellar for winter. Your cellar should not be so cool as to allow them to freexe, nor so warm as to cause them to rot If your cellar is a warm one, it would be well to keep them in some cool barn or outhouse, or, if barreled. You mar keeD tbem out of doors until cold weather cornea on, being careful to roll them in before they freeze.

Some of irur inenoa jiruserrcu appiea in very excellent order through tbe past winter, by packing tbem down in dry plaster of Paris. A writer in tbe Farmer and Mechanic of 1847, says that be adopted the following modo ofpackine some Tery fineapplea, which be shipped to Cnglsnd, and when they arrived every one was sound. Tne moisture, if any, was wiped from them, and each apple was then rolled in clean, dry wrapjiing paper. The barrel was then thinly lined with straw, and the apples placed in as closely as possible, without jamming them, and tben headed up. An inside lining hoop prevented all danger of the heads being blocked in by accident Thus put up they could tiot be niade to ratUe by common usage.

Directions were sent with them as follows "These barrels of apples are not to be rolled or tumbled about If carted or sent by land, something is to be put on the floor of the cart or wagon, to keep "tbem from being bruised, or jolted This care and labor, says the writer, will appear small, when it js recollected that it may Insure an additional price of several dollars on each barrel, in the EngluJi market Tht Corn and Flow Trail tf Great Britain. The following paragraph taken fpira the Lirerpool Courier indicates a singular change in tbe mode of selling breadstuff which may be of importance to our BhipDcrs." A revolution is about to take place in the metb od of selling flour, which will nave a serious ettect upon the trade, and possibly also upon prices. One of die many French factors (who have established themselves in London since the free trade system was enmmencod) baa issued orcuUra, announcing that he will sell flour and wheal by auction." Large rooms are preparing for tbe purpose, and there is no doubt that the large forced sales will tend to depress prices still further. Indeed, tbe auctioneer expects as much 'goods sold tinder such circumstance, and without reserve, will frequently present to buvers excellent chances of making cheap It la understood that flour is to be the chief commodity sold, and do doubt large quantities of French, end other foreign made floor wQI be thrown on tbe market, to tbe great detriment of the home producer wbo wDl hare to sell his grain at prices to compete with tbe wholesale hioclrirtt; off of foreign flour." a From tha 8u Leau tntelllc.ncer.

When all is so cheerful, ud buoysDt, tad py Just changing In grettineu for orange and gold It remind us that falret of things tjecoma old, And prospects grow dim at tbe close or the day. Til tbe first yellow leaf that Impresses with sadness, When objctt surrounding are pnla'ng with life It retniDds us that Nature Is not ever vtadness. And rtnb'erus of pleasure are not ever blithe.

BT w. wttm ootuss, ACTHoa or 'actonou." Among those wbo attended the 6rst of the King's levtet, during the London season of 18 was an unmarried gentleman of large fortune named Streat field. While his carriage was proceeding slowly down St James street, he naturally sought such amusement and occupation aa he could find in looking on the gay and brilliant scene around him. The uy was unusually fine crowds of spectators thronged the street and the balconies of the houses on either side of it, all gazing at the different equipages with as eager a curiosity and interest, as if the fine vehicles and fine people inside of them wera the rarest objects of contemplation in the whole metropolis. Proceeding at a slower and slower pace, Mr.

Streatficld's carriage had just arrived at (he middle of tbe street when a longer stoppage than usual occurred. He looked carelessly up at the nearest balcony and there, among some eight or ten ladies, all strangers to him, he saw one face that riveted his attention immediately. had never behold any thing sobeautiful.any thing which struck him with such strange, mingled and sudden sensation, as this face. He gazed and gazed on it, hardly knowing where be was, or what be was doing until the line of vehicles began to mor, on. Then after ascertaining the number of the bouse be flung himself back in the carnage, and tried to examine his own feelings, to reason himself into self possession: but it was all in vaia Uawusoizud with that amiable form of social monomania, called "love at first sight" He entered tbe palace, greeted his friends, and performis) all the necessary Court ceremonies, feeling the whole time like a man in a trance.

He apoke mechanically, and moved mechanically the lovely fnce in the balcony rccupied his thoughts, to the exclusion of everything else. On his return home, he had engagements for th afternoon and evening be forgot and broke them all and walked back to St James' street as soon as he bad changed his dress. Tbe balcony was empty the sight seers, who had filled it but a few hours before, had departed but obstacles of all sorts now tended only to stimulate Mr. treatficld ho was determined to ascertain the parentage of the young lady, determined to look on the lovely face again the thermometer of his heart had risen already to Fever Heatl Without loss of time, the shopkeeper to whom tha house belonged was bribed to loquacity by a purchase. AU that he could tell, in answer to enquiries, was that bo had let his lodgings to an elderly eentleraan and his wife, from the country, who hail asked some friends into their balcony to see the carriages go to tbo levt.

Itolliuig daunted, Mr.Streatneld questioned and questioned again. What was the old gentleman's namel Dimsdalo. Could ha see Mr. Dimsdale's servant I The obsequious shopkeeper had no doubt he could Mr, Dimsdale's servant should be sent for immediately. In a few moments the servant, the all important link in tbe chain of Love's evidence, made his ap f.irance.

He was a pompous, portly man, and istenedwitb pompous attention, with a stern ju didal calmness, to Mr. StreatfieUTs rapid and somewhat confused enquiries, which were accompanied by a minute description of the lady, andby several explanatory statements, all very fictitious, and all very plausible. Stupid as the servant wss, and suspicious as all stupid penple are, he hsd sense enough to perceive that he was addressed by a gentleman, and gratitude enough to feel considerably mollified by the handsome douceur which was quietly into hie band. After much pondering and doubting, ha at last arrived at the conclusion that the fair object of Mr. Streatueld's enquiries was a Mis?

The family were now sta)ing at London, at street Moreinform ation than this, the servant stated be could not af fordhe was certain he had mate no mistake, for thu Miss Langleys were tbe only very ynuni; ladies in the house that morning however, if Mr. Strealfiild wished to speak to his master, be was ready to carry any message with which he might be charged. But Mr. Streatfield had already heard enough for his purpose, and departed at once for his dub.

Langlev, and who had lately been stat ing at Langiey liafL Tu this friend all the lover carr and anxieties were at once confided and a fitter depository of such secrets of the heart could hardly have been found He tuadu no jokes fur lie was not a bachelor ha atmained from shaking his head and recommending prudence for he was not a seasoned husband, or an experienced widower) what he really did was to enter heart and soul into his friend projects for he was precisely in that position in which the male sax take a proper interest in matchmaking; he was a newly married man. Two days afterwards, Mr. Streatfield was the happiesi of mortals he was introduced to the lady of his lore, to Mia Jane Langiey. He really enjoyed the priceless privilege of looking once mora od the face in the balcony, and of looking on it almost as often as be wished. It was perfect Elysium.

Mr. and Mra Laugley saw little or no company Miss Jane was always accessible, never monopolized the light of her beauty shone, day after day, for her adorer alone and his love blossomed in it, fast as flowers in a hot house. Passing Quickly bv all the minor details of wouinir, to ar rive sooner at tbe grand fact of the winning, let us simply relate that Mr. Streatficld's object In seeking an introduction to Mr. Langiey was soon explained, and was indeed Tuiblelong enough before the explanation.

He was a handsome man, an ac complished man and a rich man. His two first aualificationsconquercd tbe daughter, and the third le father. In six weeks Mr. Streatfield was the acct pted suitor of Miss Jane Langiey. Tbe wedding day was fixed it was arranged that the wedding should lake place at Langiey HalL whither the family went, leaving the unwill er by word or action did he betray what was pass ing mini tiiui.

xie resumeu tua place at toe table, and beireed his euests to do tbe same. He af fected to make light of what had happened en ireaieo. every one to lorget it, or, 11 tbey remembered it at all, to remember it only as a mere accident which would, no doubt, be satisfactorily explained. Perhaps it was only a jest 00 Mr. Street field's part, rather too serious a one, he must owa At any rate, whatever was the cause of the interruption to the dinner which bad just happened, it was not important enough to require every body to fast at the table of a feast He asked it as a favor to himself, that no further notice might be taken of what occurred.

While Mr. Langiey was speaking thus he hastily wrote a few lines on a piece of paper, and gave it to one of the servants. Tba note was directed to Mr. Streatfield the lines contained only these words: "Two hours hence I shall expect to see you alone in the Tha dinner proceeded, the places occupied by the female members of the Langiey family, and by the young lady who had attractedMr. Streatfield notice in so extraordinary a manner, being left vacant Every one present endeavored to follow Mr.

Langley's advice, and go through the business of tbe dinner, as if nothing bad occurred but the attempt failed miserably. Long blank pauses occurred in the conversation general topics were started but never pursued it was more like an as eemouige or strangers than a meeting of friends people neither eat nor drank as ther were accus tomed 10 eat ana annit; they talked id altered voices, and sat with unusual stillness, ever in the same position. Relatives, friends and acquaintances, all alike perceived that some great domes tic caiastropne Had happened; all lurehnded that some serious, if not fatal explanation of Mr. Streat conduct would ensue; and it was vain and hopeless a very mockery of self possession to attempt to shake off the chilling influences that recent events had left behind them, and resume at will the thoughtlessness and hilarity of ordinary lifo. Still, however, Mr.

Langiey persisted induing tho honors of his table, in proceeding doggedly through all the festive ceremonies of tbe hour, until the ladies roso and retired. Then, after looking at bis watch, he beckoned to one of bis sons to take his place, and quiotly left the room. He only stopped once, as he crossed the hall, to ask news of his daughter from one of the servants. The reply was that she had a hysterical fit; that the medical attendant of the family had been sent for; and that since his arrival she had been more com posed. When the man had spoken, Langiey nwle no remark, but proceeded at onco to the library.

He locked the door behind him, as soon as he entered the room. Mr. Streatfield was already waiting there he was seated at the table, endeavoring to maintain an appearance of composure, by mechanically turning over the leaves of tho books before him. Mr. Langiey drew a chair before him and in low, but very firm tones; began tho conversation thus "i nave given you two hours, sir, to collect your rioge with a daughter of yours I Miss Clara Langiey Here the speaker paused.

His position was lie coming a delicate 'and dangerons one; but he made no effort to withdraw from it Almost bewildered by the pressing and perilous emergency of the moment, harraased by such a tumult of conflicting emotions within him aa he had never known before, he risked the worst, with all the blindfold desperation of lore. The angry flush was rising on Mr. Langley's cheek it was evidently costing him a severe struggle to retain his assumed aelf posseesion but he did not speak. After an interval, Mr. Streatfield proceeded thus: "However unfortunately I may express myself, I am sure you will do me the justice to believe that I am now speaking from my heurt on a subject (to me) of thu most vital importance.

Place yourself in my situation, consider all that has happened, consider that this may be, for might I know to the contrary, tho last opportunity I may have of pleading my cause, and then say whether it is possible to conceal from you that I can only look to your forbearance and sympathy for permission to retrieve my error, to to Mr. Langiey I I can not choneo expressions at such a moment as this. I can only tell you that the feclinj with which I regarded your daughter Clara, when I first saw her, still remain, what it was. I cannot analize it I cannot reconcile its apnarent inconsistencies and contradictions; I cannot explain how, while I may seem to you and to every one to have varied and vaecilliited with insolent caprice, I have really re uiauiuu, tu my own near, ana 10 my own conscience, true to my first sensations and my first convictions. I can only implore yon not to condemn me to a life of disappointment and misery, by judging mo with hasty irritation.

Favor me, so far at least, as to relate the conversation which has passed between ustoyonrtwo daughters. Let me hear how it affects each of them towanls me. Let me know what they are willing to think and ready to tlo under such unparalleled circumstance, as have now occurred. I will wait your time, and flirtr time I will abide by your decision and their decision, pronounced after the first poignant distress and irritation of this day's events have pased over." nttll Mr. Langiey remained silent the angry word was on his tongue the contemptuous rejec mi ui wuiu ne regarucrt lor tne moment as a proposition equally ill timed and insolent, seemed bursting to his lips but once more lie restrained himself.

He rose from his seat, and walked slowly backwards and forwards, deep in thought Mr. Strcatford was too much overcome by hu own agitation to plead his cause further by another word. There was a silence in the room now, which lasted for some time. to be coTmran. NUMBER 406.

Streatfield, speaking faintly and confusedly and still not looking up There lias been an unexampled error committed a fatal mistake which I could never have anticipated, and over v. hich I had no control 1" "Enough, sir, of the language of romance interrupted Mr. Langiey coldly; lam neither of an age nor a diapoeitinn to appreciate it Icome here to ask plain tjuestions honestly, and I insist, as my right, on receiving answers in the samo spirit 1 om, Mr. Streatfield, sought an introduction to ie you profe sed yourself attached to my daughter Jane your proposals were (I fear unhappily for w) accepted your wedding day was fixed ami now, after nil this, when ou happened to observe my daughter's twin sister fitting cnjaite toynu Her twin sister!" exclaimed Mr. Streatfield, and his trembling bonds crumpled the leaves of tho bonk, which bo still held while he spoke.

"Tuu must havo heard over and over again," that my children, Jane and Clara, were On my word and honur, I declare that" "Spore me all appeals to your word or your honor, sir; I am beginning to doubt both." "I will not make the unhappy situation in which we are all placed, still worse, by answering Tour last words as I might at other times feel inclined to answer them," said Mr. Streatfield, assuming a calmer demeanor tnan ne uaa lutnerlo displayed. "I tell you the truth, when I tell ou that, before to day, I never knew that any of your children were twins.

Your danghter Jane has frequently spoken to me of her absent "i iter, Clara, hut never spoke of her a her twin sister. Until to day, I have had no opportunity of di covering the truth; for until to day, I have never met Mia Clara Lang ley since I saw her in the balcony of the hone in James street The only one of your children who was never present during my intercourse with your family, in London, was your daughter Clara the daughter whom I now know, for the first time, as the young lady who really airested my attention on my way to the leree whna affections it wns really my tihject to win in seeking an introduction to you.

There was a momentary pause as Mr. Streatfield sadly and calmly pronounced the last words. Mr.

Langiey appeared to be absorbed in thought At length proceeded, speaking to himself. "It is strange I I remember that Clara left London on the day of the leree. to set out on a visit to her aunt and only returned here two days since, to bo preent at her sister's marriage," "Well sir," he continued, addressing Mr. Streatfield, "granting what you say, granting that we all mentioned my absent daughter to you as we are accustomed to mention her among ourselves, simply as 'Clara, you have still not excused your conduct In my eyes. lici TTtth his deadly proboscis Ibe lawyer baa pni And there.

But even the long march of the law has its end, lakeotber moral things at the expiration of ten days all was completed, and Mr. Streatfield found himself at liberty to start for Langiey HalL A large party was assembled at the home to grace tb, approaching nuptials. There were to be tableaux, charades, boating trips, riding excursions, amusements of all sorts the whole to conclude (in tbe play bill phras.) with the grand climax of the wedding. Mr.

Streatfield arrived late; dinner was ready; be had scarcely time to dress, and then bustle into the drawlig room just as the guests were leaving, to offer bis arm to Miss Jane all greetings with friends and introductions to strangers being postponed till the party met round the dining table. Grace had been said the covers were ta ken off; the loud, cheerful hum of conversation wnsjust beginning, when Mr. Streatfielda eyes met tho eyes of a onng lady who was seated opposite at tbe table. The guests near him, observing at the same moment that he continued standing after every one el hod been placed, glanced at him inquiringly. To their astonishment and alarm, they observed that his face bad suddenly become deadly pals; his rigid features looked struck by paralysis, Several of bis friends spoke to him; but for the first few moments he returned no answer.

Then, still fixing his eyes upon the young lady opposite, he abruptly exclaimed, in a voice the altered tones of which startled every one who heard him 'That is tbe face I saw in the balcony 1 woman is the only woman I can marry I be next instant, without a word more either of explanation or apology, he hurried from the room. One or two of tbe guests mechanically started up, as if to follow him the rest remained at the table, looking on each other In speechless surprise. But, before any one could act or speak, almost at the moment that tbe door closed on Mr. Streatfield, tbe attention of all was painfully directed to Jane Langiey. She had fainted.

Her mother and sisters removed her from tbe room immediately, aided try tbe servants. As they disappeared, a dead silence again sank down over the company they all looked round with one accord to the master of Visa flAI laUS "Mr." Langley's face and "mannersufiiaently're Vealedth and itorpeose' ce was secretly eodaring. Sot he was a man of tha world oeith matkable as tho resemblance is between the sis ters, more remarkable even, I am willing to admit, than tbe resemblance usually is betwem ta ins, there is yet a difference, which, slight indescribable though it may be, is nercrtheleen discernible to all their relations and to all their friends. How is it that you who represent yourself so vividly impressed by your first sight of my daughter Clara, did not dwover your error when you were intra duced to her sister Jane, as the lady who had so much attracted you i "Ton forget, sir," rejoined Mr. Streatford, "that I never beheld the sisters together until to day.

Though both were in the balcony when I first looked up at it, it was MUs Clara Langiey alone who attracted my attention. Had I only received the slightest hint that the absent sister of Mrs. Jane Langiey was ber twin sister, I should have aeen her at any sacrifice, before making my proposals. For it i my duty to confess to vou. Mr.

Langiey, (with the candor which is your undoubted due.) that when I was first introduced to your daughter Jane, I felt an unaccountable impression that she was the same as, and yet different from, the lady I had seen in the balcony. Soon, however, this impression, wore off. Under the circum stances, could I regard it as anything but a mere caprice, a lover's wayward fancy I I dismissed it from my mind cea cd to affect me until to day, when I first discovered that it was a warning which I had most unhappily disregarded; that a terrible error bad been committed, for which none of us were to blame, but which was fraught with misery, undeserved misery, to us all." "These, Mr. Streatfield, are explanations which may satisfy you," said Mr. Langiey, in a milder tone, "but they cannot satisfy mc; they will not satisfy the world.

You have repudiated, in the most public and abrupt manner, an engagement, in tho fulfilment of which the honor and happiness of my family are concerned. You have given me reasons for yonr conduct, it is true but will those reasons restore to my daughter the tranquility which she has lost, perhaps forever I Will tbey stop the 1 whispering of calumny! Will they car ry conviction to taose strangers to me, or enemies of mine, whose pleasure it may be to disbelieve them I You have placed yourself and me sir. in a position of embarrassments nay, a position of iianer anu uisgrocc, iruui uiui uie strongest reasons and the best excuses cannot extricate us." "I entreat you to believe," replied Mr. Streatfield, "that I deplore from my heart the error the fault, if you will of which I have been un conciously guilty. I implore your pardon, both for what I said and did at your table to day but I cannot do more.

I cannot and dare not pronounce tbe marriage tows to your daughter, with my own lips, when I know that neither my conscience nor my heart can ratify them. Tho commonest justice and the commonest respect towards a young lady who deserves both, and more than both, from every one wbo approaches her, strengthens me to persevere in the only course which is consUtent with honesty and integrity for me to take;" "You appearto forget," said Mr. Langly, "that it is not merely your own honor, but the honor of others, that is to be considered In the Course of conduct which yon are now to pursue." "I have by no means forgotten that it is due to you," continued Mr. Streatford, "or what rerponsi bilitiea I have incurred from my intercourse with your family: Do I put too mnch trust in your for bearanayii I now assure you candidly 'and unreservedly, that I still plaoo all my" hope, of happiness in the prospect of being connected by mar The Wants of California. It takes a lady's eye to discover quickly and sensibly the domestic wants of a country like California.

They want more women says a lady correspondent ol the Journal of Commerce, but many of them who went there as wives wont remain because, they can get no servants. They want more children, but children can't come without their mothers. They want schools, but people hare little or no time to leam. Educated men, as such, almost starve.

Bains of Cartilage. Stepping out of the walled enclosure, the eye ranged over tbe whole extent of Carthage. The plain, the shores of the bland lake communicating with the sea, and probably the original harbor, every where bear traces of the site of buildings; deep and dangerous faults yawn beneath the feet of the careless traveller, and fragment, of walls and columns are embedded in a luxuriant growth of wild flowers.

For more than two miles we followed the shore, everywhere lined with the continuous ruins of the building, of the city, huge blocks of which, of a sort of conglomerate formed by the mixture of mortar and pebbles are strewed upon the soil, intermingled with reefs of rocks and marble columns, and frazments half in the sand; while over what seems to be the traces of piers, as well as the foundation walls of buildings the waves broke grandly, sometimes covering us with prar as we climbed over some jutting fragment; while tbeir melancholy monotony kept up an incessant requiem over this scene of fallen magnificence.

Margaret has withal a handsome face of her own and a personable figure.

During the summer she has had charge of part of the rooms at the Cliff ton House, and it is not unlikely that occasionally, when off duty, her present Ieige may have found opportunity of communicating his personal "views" to her in one of those long walk, that persons sometimes take of a summer evening; at fashionable watering places.

Among other rooms under her charge are those occupied; by Miss Jenny Lind, whose sterling good sense could scarcely Lave failed to discover the many good points in Margaret's character. On Saturday last Maggie, in the most strict and confidential manner possible, conj municated to Mis. land's maid the fact that on lie following day she was to be married, and the maid, as in duty bound, communicated the same to her nustnm. Xo sooner waa this done, than Miss Lind with tlie same kindheartednesa that one of her marked characteristics, and with what we can scarcely fait to attribute to a genuine desire for Maggiea happiness, resolved that she would be mistress of ceremonies on the happy occasion, and immediately took Margaret's part in it under her own supervision. From her the "fair bride" (and a fair tine she U) received presents of beautiful ear rings breast pin, gloves, fan, the wedding bonnet, dx.

and by her she waa decked oat for the interesting ceremony. This completed. Miss Lind read to her and to her future husband that beautiful chapter of Holy Writ, wherein is set forth the peculiar duties towards each other of those who are about to enter the married state. Miss Lind then ordered her own carriage, and taking into it her companion, Miss Ahmausen, (we don't undertake to say that we've spelled her name correctly,) and Miss Maggie, started for Lewiston followed in another carnage by Mr. Otto Goldsmith and tbe happy Mr.

James Copehind Mason. Arrived at Lewiston, they proceeded to the Epuuxipal Church, entered, walked up to the chancel rail, and there Miss Lind officiated as bridesmaid and Mr. Otto as groomsman, were united in holy wedlock by our excellent friend tho Ber. Mr. Treadway.

We have given, perhaps, more space than it deserved, to this htt'e episode in the life of Mile Lind, but it struck us as illustrating too fully the simple frauk beartedness of the nigntengale, to be passed by. It has been by acts of graceful kindness tike this, that she has made her personal character so well known and appreciated. Devoid of all affectation, without the slightest idea that tha occurrence would ever reach the public knowledge. en. lentner sympatuie.

A Tragedy The Ohio Democrat gives the til lowing sad tale: Charles Seymour, engineer on the Eaton and Hamilton Railroad, bod been paying attention to Miss Julia A. Gould; her father having become acquainted with the state of affairs called upon S. and requested an interview at his (O's) residence. During the interview, certain propositions were made to S.

with which he refused to comply, whereupon tha enraged and distressed parent drew a large knife and thrust it into S. making a frightful wound in the lower side of the abdomen, through which the intestines protruded an awful and dangerous wound was also given in the neck, and S's bands and face were considerably cut' He is now lying in a Tery critical state. Much sympathy is expressed for the parent, wbo is one of the best citizens, SaiAeellenL We learn that Enoch Weatwood. a boy aged 13, was killed at the Tiroli Satinet Factory, Saturday morning. He bad jumped upon the platform elevator, which is moved by water, and lying down, was looking over the edge, when the elevator was passing the fifth floor, his head was caught between it and the 'beams, and his neck broken."

Albany Brjuttr. Gay Scene ia England. The London correspondent of the St Louis Intelligencer gives quite a graphic picture of the prorogation of Parliament, thus: "AU that England can boast of rank and beauty is assembled within the gorgeous House of Lords on this occasion. The lords are in their ermine cloaks the ladies in feathers and diamonds, tho bishops 111 full robes. I remember last year bow the old Duke entered, leaning on the arm of the beautiful Marchioness of Wellesly, whose portrait some of your readers may have seen, painted by Lanseer, in lost year's exhibition of art Tin, Queen enters in full state, with a constellated crown of diamonds, her train carried by four pages of gentle blond.

A peer bearing tbe crown of state, another the sword, (the duke,) another the sceptre, die. form an interesting procession. By the aide of the Queen walks Prince Albert lie takes a seat on her left on the right of the throne is the seat of the Prince of Wales. Hitherto he has not attended. Oue of tbe bishops reads a abort prayer.

Two counsels in black rubes and wigs demand the Queen's assent to certain bills. The Queen bows each time. The counsels bow in return, and exclaim, in old Xorman French, 'la Brine le veut' "A rushing nuie is then heard on the corridor, like a pack of Eton schoolboys. It is the Hon. House of Commons rushing up stars.

When this uproar has subsided, the Queen, wbo has been conversing with Lady Ltaidonderry, rises, and in a voice clear as a sdver bell, the metahc tones of which penetrate into every comer of the hall, reads the speech of prorogation amidst dead silence. The procession then leaves as it came; a blast of chivalrous trumpets; 'Ood save the Queen' strikes up by the band of Guana deafening cheers of a loyal population and the roar of artillery close the session. It is a sight which every foreigner shontl endeavor to see if possible, but the tickets are very limited. AU the Ambassadors attend in full costume." Harmonious Omens. The Bufialo Courier is anxious to know wmething about the loco foco platform.

It that "Democrats throughout the State want to know where they stand whether "on sen, or dry land The Fugitive slave law is the back booa of tho compromise, and tbe Democratic State Convention congratulated tbe country upon its passage, in conjunction with kindred measures of adjustment of a dangerous controversy. These facts are undeniable, by the record. This being so, would respectfully call the attention of all Democrats who hare consistently sustained tha compromise measured from the begirining, and intend to stand by them to the end, to the following extracts from papers which fly at their mast bead the names of the persons nominated by tbe Convention for State office i It ia to be borne in mind that these things are said within a week after the platform is constructed and the nominations made." From the Xew York Evening Post: Aware that differences of opinion existed amnog Democrats about the Fugirire Slave Law the Convention very properly refused to give it then approval, or to permit such an unnecessary and unprofitable issue to be mtroduced into the canvass. From the St Lawrence Republican An effort was nude in the Convention br a few ultra men, who are always bent on rjoischief to approve the Fugitive Slave Law, and commit the Democracy of Haw York to this measure. The attempt signally foiled, and the Democracy stand upon their ancient principles and tried integrity.

leaving the ugitive act and kindred measures to the fostering care of their authors, After making the above quotations, the Courier adds very significantly "We only desire to call the attention of notional Democrat to the above, in order that they may be enabled to comprehend the position which in the esdmation of certain parties to the compact recently formed at Syracuse, they nets occupy. It is a matter of the first consequence, about which there need not and will not be either doubt or misap prehension, or mistake, before the ballot boxci an tuned, thu fall" The allusion to the rvfes is bringing the subject home. with withering force. But tie threat is made in earnest Tbe Hunkers in different sections of the State, are resolved to occupy no longer tbe position of "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for tho barnburners. The Courier and Enquirer remarks that the coming election in this state will undoubtedly determine the canal puliay of the stata forever.

If the democrats succeed in electing State officers enough to control the Canal Board, it says that the public works will again be stopped. Tha Cou rier argues that ererr cormderatioo of expedience demand tbe immediate completion of the Erie Canal: "'o greater folly can he conceived, than a continuance of the miserable policy heretofore adopted of completing tba enlargement of the Erie Canal out of tho surplus of the canal revenue. Hudson River Railroad was opened to Poughkeep eie a year ago now what would bar, been thought of tbe Directors of the Company, if instead of burrowing money to complete it to Albany, they had determined look to their lurplus revenue to accomplish so desirable a result I There can be no doubt aa to their course. sane man in tbe state, we care Dot to what party he belongs can for a moment doubt that It would be wise and prudent for a company, under auch circumstances, promptly to raise the necessary funds to complete their work. And what would be wi io a 00m I pany to do, to benefit their stockholders." is equal ly.

Female Education. Shame on us, that we, who boast of having woman, in tbe nineteenth century, to the position in life which she ought to hold, so educate her that not one of her powers, phy lical or mental, can er er attain a lull and healthy action. Better go hack to. tha days our great grand mother, and be content with DQworth's spelluig.look, and Assembly's Catechism nay. Letter go back to far earlier days when neither catechism nor spelling, book detained the damsel from the distaff or the loom, than rear for the coming generationa race of nervous wives and sickly mothers.

When the boy runs merrily fW ti. 1 chases in the race, or leaps over the bound, the girl must walk demurely in the garden, because, forsooth, running and leaping and tumping are ungraceful in the girt, When the boy runs freely over the hills or through the wood in summer ne coasts down the hill or skates merrily twer thw pond in the winter, the girl, untrasted, rinbenefit ted, walks pensively by the side of the teacher, to the village, or takes a two mil. airimr in a aleurh once a week. She never pitches the quoit, never throws the ball, never slides down hill, never roams through the wnooV, because, save tha mark these are deemed unfeminine. In fiict tha never thoroughly exercises her body at all, and in consequence soon becomes unable to endure any kind of physical fatigue.

To ererr woman, whaterer ntuatioa she may occupy, life is a fact, stubborn, earnest, real, to be shaped and moulded by her own efforts, or to he borne and endured by her own fortitude. Happy is she who ia prepared for it, not by ber own despairing efforts in after life, but by the judicious, careful and thorough discipline of early education Com.

It did not happen to me to be born in a log cabin, but my elder brother and sisters went born in a log cabui.Jraised among the snow drifts of Jfew Hampshire, at a period so early, that when the smuke first rose from it rude chimney, and curled over the frozen hill, there was do similar evidence cf a white man's habitation between it and the settlements on tbe river, of Canada. Its remains still exist I make it an annual Tisit I carry my children to it to teach tbem the hardships endured by generation which have gone before them.

Dr. Arnold very strikingly remarks, "Men forget what they were in their youth, or at best only partially remember it; it is hard even for those whose memories are strongest and lively, to put themselves exactly into the same position in which they stood aa boys they can scarcely fancy that there was once a time when they cared so much for pleasure and troubles which now seem so trifling. Aral it may be. if we rise hereafter to angels' stature; if wisdom be ours such as we dream not of; if, being counted worthy to know God a he is the poorness of all created pleasure shall be revealed to us flashing upon our uncreated spirits like light it may be that we shall then feel it ia hard to fancy how we could have cared for what we now deem most important; how twenty years, more or less taken from this span of our earthly life: bow being parted for a few years, moro nr lea, from those dtar friends with whom we are united forever how this could have seemed of any importance to beirgs born for immortality. It is quite reasonable to suppose that the interests of manhood wul hereafter appear to us junt as insignificant.

I ought rather to say ten thousand times more so than the interests of our boyish years may seem to til now." What will Enin Children. To have parents exercise partiality.

Hired to Keep the Sabbath. An eminent minister in Wales, hearing of a neighbor wbo followed his calling on the Lord's' day and asked him why be broke the Sabbath. The man replied that bo was driven to it, by finding it hard work to maintain his family. "Will yon attend pnbuc worship," said Mr. P.

"if I pay you a week day's wages "Yes, most gladly," said tbe poor man. He attended constantly and received his pay. After mm tuna, Mr. P. forgot to send the money and recollecting it, called upon the man and said.

"I am in your debt" "Xo sir," he replied "yon are not" "How so said Mr. P. "I have not paid you of late." "True," answered the man, "but I can now trust Ood; for I have found that ho can bier the work of six days for the support of my family, just the same aa seven." Ever after that, he strictly kept the Sabbath, and found that in keepiog God' commands there i. not only do loss, but great rewards; A Cheap place to lilt in.
