A hardy, sunburnt man is lie, A hardy, sunburnt man; No sturdier man you’ll ever see, Though all the world you scan. In summer’s heat, in winter’s cold, •You’ll find him at his toil— Oh, far above the knights of old, Is the tiller of the soil. No weighty bars secures his door, No ditch is dug around ; His walls no cannon .bristle o’er, No dead lie on his ground. A peaceful laborer is he, Unknown in earth’s turmoil— From'-many crushing sorrows free, Is the tiller of the soil. His stacks are seen on every side, His barns ar? filled with grain; Though others hail not fortune's tide, lie labors not in vain. The land gives up its rich increase, Tlfe sweet reward of toil, And-blest with happiness and peace, Is the tiller of* the soil. He trudges out at break of day, And takes his wav along ; And as he turns the yielding clay, HjC sings a joyful song. ' He is no dull, unhappy wight, Bound in misfortune's coil ; The smile is bright, the heart is light, Of the tiller of the soil. And when the orb of day has crown’d With gold the western sky, Before his dwelling he is found, With cheerful faces bv — With little laughing duplicates. Caresses will not spoil; Oh, joy at every side awaits The tiller of the soil. A hardy, sunburnt man is he, A hardy, sunburnt man ; But who can boast a hand so free, As he, the tiller, can ? No summer’s heat, nor winter’s cold, The pow’r has lmn to foil— Oh, far above the knights of old, la the tiller of the soil. Fr<ihe Yankee Nation. THE TWO BRIDES 9 FORTUNES. i( Words are for lighter loves, that spread their films Of glossy threads, whirh, while the air’s serene, Hang gracefully, and sparkle in the sun Of fortune, or reflect the fainter beams Which moonlight fancy sheds; but our’s Was blended with the noblest things we lived for!” Talfourd. I had been wandering upon the continent for many months, and on my return to my native land, I hastened to the home of my fathers, in the neighborhood of Windermere lake; and whilst in quiring after old -friends, did not forget the .wo fair orphans who inhabited a pottage within a leu miles of us, and wh<i were generally designated the “beauties of the lake.' To my surprise, I found that both were on the eve of marriage, and that the double nuptials were appointed to rake place on the following day. The eldest, Caroline Wil ton, was engaged to a Captain Pamlrett, who had been in the army one year, merely for fashion's Eake ; a son ot wild-flower, extremely good-look ing, but who was by no means particular as to his modes anti habits of liie. The younger sister. Emily, had chosen a Mr. Effingham, a gentleman almost unknown to bis neighbors. His fortune was evidently limited, although sufficient to com mand all the com torts of life; and he had nothing in h;s looks to recommend him, except a pair of expressive and melancholy eyes. I was too’much interested in the fortunes of the sisters to neglect the opportunity of being present at their wedding, jit was a line summer s day; not a cloud passed over,the blue expanse of heaven; and .the flowers seemed to rival each other in doing honor to the day. Caroline was conducted to the altar by one ot the handsomest young exquisites I had ever seen. Emily came atterwards, and Mr. Effingham seeming to avoid any thing like osten tation, walked humbly by her side to the altar. The service was performed, and Pamfrett handed his bride, with a great deal of ceremony, to an e'e gant carriage and four, which stood waiting at the church porch. They drove of! amidst the accla mations ol a crowd ot villagers, to whom they gave in return their blandest smiles; and the chinch bells rang a merry peal. •“* £? ve no carriage, Emily," whispered Air. Effingham, "into which to hand you!” but the smile of his bride declared more than words could do—that in possessing his affection she desired no more. “God bless you both!” said I. “lam already blest, 1 ’ was Effingham's reply “and I know not what I have done to deser've such a blessing." The happy pair turned from the church, and I saw them slowly winding up the hill, till 1 losi them beneath the rose and clematis hung porch -ot Effingham Villa. It was a joyous sight to mo to see’such good hearts made happy; but I returned to my habita tion sad and melancholy. Why is it that extraor dinary beauty of any kind has a depressing influ ence upon, the spirits ? Now that Emily was gone, I tancied that the world did not contain a woman that I could love. She was exactly what 1 bad always fancied my own wi e should’be il I ever married ; yet i had never thought of loving her! Now it was' too late.to think of it. At flret I could not help wondering what Emily could see in Effingham. It-was my own opinion that he was disagreeably taciturn; but I had not known him a month when I respected him as a wise and elder brothq|; and I found no greater pleasure than to spend a quiet evening with him and his bride. a. e fine evening Effingham and I sat together on a hill, which threw its shadow over the placid lake, where the quiet stars were counting their bright ■shadows— ° Beautiful Windermere ! The silent skies O’er arch thee with a.soft serene embrace. Beautiful Windermere ! Like holy eyes The stars look down into thy placid face. Thou liest in a lovely resting place, Crad-hng thy isles, and girt by guardian hills; While many streams in rocky channels race To thy curved shore, and the blue air distils Beauty in every breath, music in ceaseless thrills. We were waiting for Emily, and the con versa tion turned upon her merits. he is - an aqgeir exclaimed Effingham. •- Be- Jore I knew her 1 was discontented and dissatisfied with the world. My spirit had been broken by early troubles, and-1 was happiest when alone.— But my evenings became long, and I grew tired ol reading; then I pictured a happy wife, sitting and talking by my side. A woman without Nation and sens. I would not have; and one Assessing hose 1 feared would not consent to live sequestered and alone with a solitary being like myself. Such were my thoughts when I was introduced to Emily, "he would leave-her gay companions and her dash ing sister to seek with pencil and portfolio the beautiful scenery around this neighborhood. In these rambles I sometimes joined her. and if I re marked a picturesque spot, I found it a few days iltenvards transferred to Emily's album. When ever she was asked to sing, she began with the air I had saul was my favorite. Sympathy, that invis ible cloud which, running through society, binds ueart to heart, united ours. I fancied that I gained ground in her esteem, and I often saw her forsake gay parties lor a quiet talk with me. All seemed uope, except hope itself, am! that appeared to me to be presumption. One day, however, it was so evident that she preferred my company to any one amidst a numerous party, containing many who would gladly have been made her slave for life, that a light broke on me which for some time daz /.led me; but then I laid rny heart at her feet. Ii was accepted. And now no day is ever too long. I am never tired—never dull: she reads to me. sings my favorite tunes to the music of her harp ; we both love music, walking, reading and retire ment. In a word, we love each, other! And here she comes, " he continued, rising to meet her. Never did the rjsing sun throw more joy over the wearied and midnight traveller, than‘Emily's soiling face did wherever she went. I leit this hupp, pair, and on the following even ing visited the Pamlretts. ‘•A sovereign bet,” exclaimed the dashing officer, *• for which ol us can drink the most champaigne. or ride to the sixth milestone first!" I excused myself, arid Pamlreit declared I was a 1001. Mrs. Pamfrett presided at the dinner table that evening with the state and majesty bfan Eas fern queen. Can this. I mentally exclaimed, be sister to the gentle Emily ? ‘•Have you seen Mrs. Effingham lately?" inquired Mrs. Pamlretr. I replied "that I had enjoyed that pleasure the evening before.’’ '’Pleasure! cried the lady, “O, dear, to think it so! It is three months, I fancy, since I saw her; quite offended me by marrying that poor me] ancholy man. She must be miserably dull. 1 could not live without my parties: and Pamfrett is the king of all games. I have quire my own way, and am admired by all; whilst Effingham.i.s veiy eccentric, sullen, prond, and boorish. The ladies are all envying me. and wonder how I sue ceeded in obtaining the hand of one whom they had vainly tried for: but Emily, poor dear! the) wonder yow she could possifly have married such a dreary, creature as Effingham. *’ I left the two brides thus enjoying their fortunes, and went again touring on the continent. It was four years before I returned to Windermere. Four years! What changes occur in that time. A day or two after my return, I sought the cottage on the hill, where I had left Emily and her husband in the enjoyment ol all the human heart could wish. A heautiml boy was sitting on the grass before the door, placing a wreath ol wild flowers round the curly head of a lovely little girl “Bless the sweet creatures, I exclaimed, as I stood watching them; and for some time endeavored to trace a likeness between them and the happy pair whose children l at once concluded they were. •• Is papa at home ? e ’ I at length inquired, when the little fellow looked lip from his play, pointing to the door, • Yes. sir. in there." And I hoard both laugh the unchilled laugli of infancy, as I turned towards the house. Mr. Effingham received me as a long absent brother, but on inquiring for Mrs. Pamfrett, I was startled to hear she was dead. " Yes." continued Effingham, Pamfrett was al v>ajs gay and wild, and lie was at length induced to gamble on a great scale, and was ruined. One night he embarked for America, leaving a letter lor Caroline, wherein he stated that she had alwavs been her own mistress, and might continue so; and that if it would not have been for hei; pride, his fortune would not have been wrecked. Poor Car oline was now destitute." continued Mr.Tfffingham. "We lorgot her conduct towards ourselves, and did e\erything in our power to alleviate her sorrow and heartfelt degradation. Emily at length induced her to come amt reside with us. I managed her affairs, sold the estate, and paid what debts had been incurred, with the exception ol those of dis -.honor.'* from which her husband had fled. Bur Carolines pride had received too deep a wound to be healed; she pined ami faded, and within six months alter her husband s departure, died. All ihat now remains ol that once grand, proud family, is the dear boy in the garden, who is with the little girl.” 1/0 Tne entrance of Emily prevented any further reference to her sister's melancholy history, bhe looked, il possible, m re handsome than ever. Her lace wore the beautiful expression of habitual content. So good hearts live! And may they live and prosper; eternal sunshine dwelling o'er their heads! Trimming Apple Orchards. Farmers who own large orchards, usually find it convenient to prune during the mild weather ol v\inter. There are few but have discovered that good and lair Iruit is better grown, when the head ol the tree is thinned enough to allow all parts a lull chance. Small, smothered leaves, within a dense mass of brush, can never furnish a good sup ply ol materials to the swelling fruit. Hence, even ly distributed and thrifty shoots, forming a well balanced aud handsome head, must be the aitn oi every oichardisr. Many discover, after years of neglect, that their trees have become dense, matted and scrubby: and to remedy the delect, the saw and axe are unspa ringly applied, and large limbs are at once lopped and the trees left naked and disfigured. The wounds, being large, must be covered with a water proot composition, and a long time is required for their healing. A better way is to begin early, while the trees are yet comparatively young, and on the first ap pearance of crooked ami thick growing shoots, to cut them out with a knife or chisel. This, if re peated ea'ch winter where it appears to be needed, will pre s ene the trees in good form and condition, so far as pruning is concerned. Even where the tree* have become old and need, much pruning it is decidedly better to accomplish the desired thin ning gradually in successive years, by a sparing and evenly distributed pruning, than to cut in vily at once. In all instances, the cutting of very large limbs should be, if practicable, avoided. ‘■omc of the best orchardists in the country never allow a heavier tool to be used in their orchards than the knife and chisel. The htter, lor cutting expeditiously such branches as may be at a consid erable height from the ground, avoiding at the* same time ti e trouble of handling ladders, and the bruises and injuries to the bark, caused by ascend mg the tree, may be placed on the end of a pole, a blow of the mallet at the lower end of which, will quickly separate closely and smoothly to the tree, -yj-b an inch and a half in diameter. While the importance of pruning is not to be oigotlen, the indispensable necessity of manuring •m rich and clean cultivation must be constantly )orne in mind. A fertile soil and vigorous growth may, to a great extent, compensate for other ne 7 CC -’ n o cutting nor forming of the branches h^ r V rn P ai u lle t 0 a tree which is languishing in a r , s enle, and neglected soil, overgrown with srass and weeds.--.Miwy Cultivator. r* i_- Who dies in vain Upon his country’s war-field’s, and within T , n B . h k II °v" al^ rS ’ Feeblc heart!

CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 5, 1850. THE DEAD BY HENRY ALFORD, The dead alone are great! While heavenly plants abide on earth, The soil is one of dewless dearth ; But when they die, a mourning shower Comes down and makes their memories flower With odors sweet, though late. The dead alone are fair! While thev are with us, strange liues plav Before our eyes, and chase away God’s light; but let them pale and die, And swell the stores of memory,— a -‘ There is no envy there. The dead alone arc dear ! While they are here long shadows fall From our own forms and darken all: But when they leave us, all the shale Is round our own sad footsteps made. And they are bright and clear. The dead alone arc blest! While they are here, clouds mar the day, And bitter snow-falls nip their May ; But when their tempest-time is done, The light and heat of Heaven’s own Sun Broods on their land of rest. Hungary—Close of the War. The Tribune translates the following account of the last events of the Hungarian war from a state ment of Kossuth, published in London, ami trans lated Irom the Hungarian language into German:— An aristocratic coterie was formed in the camp, secretly conducted by Gorgey. The plan began to be known to the Government. This was the true -tale ol things alter the victories of Izsassegh, VVaitzen arid Sazlo. At that time Kossuth consid ered Hungary strong enough to conquer the Rus sians, or at least to protract the war until an hon orable peace could be secured to Hungary by the intervention of European diplomacy. Gorgey only knew how to gain a victory, but not to make use of it. The siege of Comorn might have been a second battle of Mirengo, if Gorgey had followed up the enemy with the Caspar corps, which he permitted to be entirely idle. The General was hen so popular, that Kossuth hesitated to remove him from the supreme command; meantime he named him for Minister of War, and transferred rhe command to Damjairich. But Gorgey delayed his departure from the camp, by all manner of pre rences, until the approach ol the Russians. On the arrival of the lirst Russian corps the idea of treating with them was spread abroad by the friends of Gorgey. The Russian intervention found Hungary fully equipped, and stionger to meet the Austrian Rus -ian army than it had been against Austria alone. An army 01, 141,000 troops ol the line, fortresses in ihe best condition and w.ell provisioned, new battal ions to reinforce the regiments, a reserved force of H* regiments of cavalry all complete, manufactures of arms anil powder in full activity, innumerable hospitals—thes-e were the resources of Hungary.— With those there were MO,OOO Russians, So,ooo Austrians, and -10,000 Jell ichich's men to‘be con quered. It was a plan to beat the hostile corps one after another. Knssulh agreed with Gorgey ro let the Russians enter without giving them bat tle. to beat the Austrians and march to Vienna. In case of defeat, the war must be transferred to Gal lacia, and if there was any loss on this side, an in cursion was to be made through Steyermar into Italy, returning with the Italians and Hungarians who served in Radetzky's army into Austria. This plan was approved by Gorgey, but completely frus trated by him in the execution. The government displaced him, but he organized a military revolu tion, which compelled him to disobey the govern ment. Gorgey now threw off the mask. “At this moment." says Kossuth. “I stood alone, de sorted, powerless. Nothing was left tq me but the choice between banishment and death. As a pat riot, a Christian, arid a father of a family, I chose the lormer. I thought it might be possible by diplo matic intervention to secure to my country some degree of independent life for the future. I saw the power in England most suited for this diplo matic aid."

JOHN ROHRER. A CHRISTIAN HIESTAND, » JACOB FRANTZ, [ 3 WII.UAM GORRECHT, f £ GHRISTIAN WARFEL, „ 3 BENJAMIN HOOVER, Attest—Wm. Tavlou —Clerk. February 19, 1850. 4_3t Blackwood’s Magazine and ttae Hritisli Quarterly Reviews. OWING to the late revolutions and counter-rev olutions among the nations of Europe, which have followed each other in such quick succession, and of which “the end is not yet,” the leading pe riodicals ol Great Britain have become invested with a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They occupy a middle ground between the hasty, disjoin ted, and necessarily imported records of "the news papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatises to be furnished by the historian at a future day. Whoever reads these periodicals obtains i correct and connected account of all the important political events of the old world, as they occur, and learns the various conclusions drawn from them bv the leading spirits of The American Publish ers therefore deem it proper to call renewed atten tion to the works they republish an l the very low prices at which they are offered to subscribers.— The following is their list, viz: 1635 84 THE LONDON QUARTERLY - REVIEW, THE F. DING BURG REVIEW THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW, avn BLACK WOOD EDINGBURGH MAGAZINE. In these periodicals are contained the views, moderately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the three.great parties in England—Tory, W T hig, and Radical—“ Blackwood” and the “London Quarterly” are Tory ; the “Edinburgh Review” Whig; and the “ W 7 estmintcr Review” Liberal. The “ North British Review” owes its establish ment to the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not ultra in its views on any one of the grand departments of human knowledge: it was originally edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since hie death, is conducted by his son-in-law, Dr. Hanna, associated with Sir David Brewster. Jts literary character is of the very highest order. The “ Westminster,” though reprinted. under that title only, is published in England under the title of the “Foreign Quarterly & Westminster,” it being in fact a union of the two Reviews formerly published and reprinted under separate titles. It has, therelore, the advantage by combination, of uniting in one work the best features of both as heretofore issued. The above Periodicals are reprinted in New York, immediately on their arrival bv the British steamers, in a beautiful clear type, on fine white paper, and are faithful copies of the originals, • Blackwood’s Magazine being an exact facsimile of the Edinburgh edition. 1521 50 TERMS'.
