THE MAGRAfiT LIMBERQER.
Soino folks don't liko tho odor of
Limbergor choose; but there are peo
ple that can't approcial tho flavor of
a well developed polo-cat Uuo even
ing, not very long since, a gentleman
had made his preparations to attend
prayer meeting with bis wife. Prior
to starting, be came dawn to his place
of businoss, and wbilo there an oc
quainlanccdiscovered that ho was about
toengago in tho Vt'odiicsdny evening
devotion. Accordingly ho put up a
villianous job. Procuring a huge slice
of the most fragrant Limborgor choose
to be bad, be watched his opportunity,
and, just as the gentleman stepped oul
of tho door to go homo for his wife,
slipped it into his pocket The parties
repaired to tbe cbnrcb, and wero soon
seated sido by sido in a comfbrlablo
pow near tho stovo. . noon the choose
began to grow loud. ' Tbe sisters turti-
od their heads about and looked as if
kraut barrel bad exploded. Tho
deacons elovated ' their nose and
thoaght of the third plague of Egypt
Tbe preacher smelltd a groat smell,
and tbs wife of the unconscious odor
casket nudged her spouse and Inquired
If ha didn't smell something. "Mariar,
it awlul," he responded ; "It must be
in tho coal." Tha more .the assembly
speculated the louder tbe odor became,
and finally all hands United in hurry
ing tbo proceedings to a closo. Ar
rived at home and while preparing to
retire, the gentleman discovered the
cause of the unpleasantness, and im
mediately removed it on a couplo ot
ehipa.
PRIVATE LAND OWNERS IX
EXGLAHL AND WALES.
The return issuotl by tho Local Gov
ernment Hoard of Ownors ot Land in
Eaglund and Wales, exclusive of the
metropolis, by motion of tho Karl of
Pei liy, liirnisljcB the following details :
The properties held by the colleges
of the r Diversities oft xtird and Cam
bridge amount to 235,553 acres with n
grosa oslmmkd rental of C4 11.504, tb
proportion being Oxtonl 120,879 acres,
rental 219,111; Cambridge 10K.7G4
acres, rental 192,453. The colleges
belonging to Oxford have proporty in
51 counties in Englnnd and Wales
that is, in all save Cornwall, Itutland,
and Westmoreland. Tho Cambridge
colleges bold property in 37 out of tno
54 counties, Cornwall being tho only
county which does not contribute to
elt nor of the Universities. Tho Reelest
astical Commissioners hold property in
in counties, amountingto 14!i,8s2acros,
with a rental of 311,208.
Property belonging to tho Duchy of i
vuuiniui is iuumu ill uvo ununucn, anu
amounts in tbe aggregate to 09.503
acres, with a gross estimated rental of I
AJ1.29Z. 1 he Duchy ot Lancaster has
property in 11 counties, tho aggregate
of which is 1 1,428 acres, with ostiinatod
rental of 20,942. On cxaming tbe
several counties, tho aggregate holding
of the 100 largest private ownors is
3,852,000 acres. Out of theo 1(10 own
ers, there are 47 holding 20,000 acres
and upwards, but less than 30,000 ; 27
holding 30,000 acres and upwards, but
toss man tu.uuu ; oigbt holding 411,000
acres and upwards, but less than 50.-
000 ; eight holding 50,000 acres and up-
waras, nut less than OU.OOO; three hold
ing 60,000 acres and upwards, but less
than 70,000 ; two holding 70,000 acres
and upwards, but less than 80,000 ; two
holding 80,000 acres and upwnrds, but
loss than 100,000 ; three holding 100.-
000 acres and upwards. Nino of those
io'J.ouo owners hold proporty in one
county, 17 in two counties, 20 in three
counties, 21 in four connties, 13 in five
counties, fivo in six counties, four in
sovon counties, six in eight counties,
ono in nino counties, one in ten coun
ties, and three in eleven counties.
1 be twelve largest owners, as regards
area, in bngland and ales, are the
lluko of Northumborlond, Duke of
Devonshire, Duko of Clovelund, Sir
W. W. Wynn, Duko of Bedford, Earl
of Carlisle, Duko of itutland, Earl of
Ivonsihtlo, lrd Loconncld, Earl of
Powis, Karl of Krownlow, and Earl of
I erby.
The number of owners of land ol one
aero and upwards baB already boen
stated at 209,547. Thii number, how
ever, is in excess of the actual not num
ber, owing to the snmo owners fre
quently nppoaring in more thaii ono
county, t rom an examination made
of a certain proportion of names tho re
sult gives an approximate estimate of
auout o,uiiii owners who may bo de
ducted as holding property in more
wan one county.
Another point to be oonsidorcd in
oatabliehing tbe Bet numbor ia that the
name ot tho samo person will occasion
ally bo entorcd more than once in the
same county, owing to tbo difficulty ot
luouuuuauon. ii is roughly estimated
that another 1,000 may be lurtbor de
ducted on this ground also, which will
mako 202,547. Again, if wo deduct
tho names of owners of public proper
ty, which amount to 14,417, wo leave
248,130, as tho probable not numbor of
privateownersol oneacreandupwards.
It should be borne in mind, however,
that this number is exclusive of the
owners in the metropolis, who are not
entered in the return, so that the aggre
gate uumber of owners in England and
Wales of one acre and upwards may
be fairly estimated to exceed a quarter
oi a minion a unicrcni result Irom
that inferred from tbo census returns
of 1801, from which it had been as
sumed that the number of land owners
did not exceed 30,760, that boing tho
number entered under tho head of
"Land Proprietor," and not included
under any occupation or profession.
Tho return gives the extent in acres
of common or wastelands in each county
sbowlnganaggrcgntoon,52l1C48 acres
ot which the North Hiding of York
shire represents the largest viz: 247,
409 acres, and Northamptonshire tho
smallest viz : 255 acres; and thorearo
no counties without land of this char
acter. THE CULTIVATION OF SfM
I' A Til Y.
Sympathy is an especial characteris
tic of women, and its effect upon the
human heart may bo compared to tho
action of light upon tbe optic nerve;
it transfers tho picture from without,
and seats it in the soul. Hy exciting
nil the feelings proper to tho suffering
object it gives us tho most perfect con
ception of bis misery ; causes us almost
to lorget our own situation, and laucy
ourselves tho sutTcrers. Though it is pro
bablo this principlo it is no other than
a modification ot self-love, yot, as iu
effects are instantaneous, and habit re
duces it to a kind of sccondury instinct,
experienco justifies us in tho distinc
tion between this sourco of benevo
lence and that which is an act ot rea
son, grounded on any principle. Sym
pathy is not improperly termed a moral
taste, and, like taste in tho fino arts,
will admit of improvement by reason
and cultivation. Tho sense of danger,
frequently experienced, strengthens
our antipathy to vice; and tho sense
of utility increases, by a common effort
of tho mind, tbe lovo of that moral
beauty, which we loam to bo proflta
bio to us. in vory refined persons,
sympathy proves a fruillul sourco of
virtue; but ln common minds, its
operations are feeble and uncertain ;
lor, as the sympathetic toolings may
bo increased by proper cultivation, so
they mny bo almost annihilated by
false reasoning, by being conversant
with scenes of craolty, or even by peg-
lcct Ileasnn, then, furnishes us with
a rulo of conduct founded on the con
siderations of our real and pcrmanont
interest, and sympathy, hy a kind of
instant inspiration, prompts us to those
benevolent actions where self is not
immediately concerned. In tho train

care should be taken to educate tho
sympathies, in ordr thsltho desirable
means may bo attained which distin

tated by feeling, which wastes its pity
on unworthy or undeserving object.
