THE TILLER OF THE SOIL
HI DAVID L. nOATH.
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

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."

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.

Feb. 12, 1850,
THE undersigned adopt this method of inform
ing their friends and the public in genera],
that they have taken the Marble Yard, formerly
conducted by Daniel Fagan, situated in North
Queen Street, in the city of Lancaster, a few doors
north of Van Kanan’s (formerly ScholfieM’s) tavern,
whe e they are prepared to execute all orders in
their line, in the neatest manner, at the most liberal
prices, and with every possible expedition.
William Leonard acquired a thorough know!
of the business in the most celebrated Marb' yj
tabiiahments in Philadelphia and New Yor*.
Abner S. Bear was an apprentice to Daniel Fagan,
and has had many years experience. As their
work is all to be finished by-themselves, they feel
assured, that they can afford entire satisfaction to
their customers.
(>Cr They exhibit John Beard’s celebrated BOOK
OF DESIGNS, embracing a large and attractive
variety, from which their patrons can scarcely fail
to make satisfactory selections.

STORE.*—Just received, together with the
latest Fall and Winter Fashions, the largest and
most splendid assortment of FALL and WINTER
GOODS ever before exhibited in Lancaster county,
at M. T. Ford's Tower Hall Clothing Store, oppo
site Vankenan’s (late Scholfield’B) Hotel.
The citizens of Lancaster county, and strangers
who may be visiting the city, are respect ully in
vited to an examination of this magnificent stock,
comprising an unrivalled collection of uncut Cloths
Cassimeres, and Vestings; with Overcoats, Sack
Dress and Frock Coats, Monkey Jackets, Pams,
Vests, Shirts, Stocks, Shams, Cravats of all des
criptions, Hosiery, Susperders,Gloves, and in fact
everything necessary to complete a gentleman’s
wardrobe, and at prices that no others in the tratie
attempt to compete with.
Remember, gentlemen, that this is no trade
clothing shop, as the proprietor has from the start
set his lace against orders of all kinds, and conse
quently does not put a high tariff on his customers
for fear they may have a builder’s order, but sell
ing exclusively for cash he ran and does sell his
goods for less than it costs most of the Tailors to
manufacture Jhem. Po you see your true interest
lies in patronizing the Tower Hall of M. T. FORD,
North Queen street, opposite the Franklin Hotel.
