A TRUE TALE. It was a bitter night. The snow had been falling in fleecy flights during the greater portion of the day, an!*'the cold’was so intense that little business of any kind had been prosecuted by the industrious and enterprising citizens of the village. Night had succeeded day. The snow and sleet were still de scending and the spirit of the storm seemed to howl around the house, and through the fields and orchards and forests, among.the distant, mountains. Mr. Rowland had "returned from his counting house at an earlier hour than usual. Supper had ' been served,and the- family had been gathered to the sparkling fire. The. children had been put to bed in an adjoining apartment, and the infant was sleeping in the cradle under the immediate notice of its mother. Mr. Rowland was reading a news paper, and as the'fitful blast moaned around his commodious dwelling, he would makejiome remark relative to the severity oi the weather. Mrs. Row land was patting, the flaxen curls upon the head of the sleeping . babe, and occasionally she im printed the Warm kiss of maternal affection upon its ruddy chdek. ' Suddenly some one rapped at the door, it was opened, when a little girl, .about seven years of age, was admitted. Her scanty dress <Vas tattered and torn, a ragged quilt thrown around her shoulders, ■and a pair of miserable old shoes upon her feet.— She was almost frozen. ' ■ “ You are-the widow . Watkin’s daughter ? ■ said Mrs. Rowland inquiringly. The little girl answered in the affirmative, and adted that her ma was sick, and wished Mr. Row land to step over and see her, for she. thought she would surely die. j ~ ■ . , Mr. Rowland owned the place on which the sick woman resided. She was very indigent, and but poorly able to pay the'extravagant rent which the unfeeling owner exacted. The property was once her husband's, or : rather her own ; being a gift from her father on the day ot her wedding. Mr. Wat kins was wealthy when a young man, and educated for the bar, atid no 1 one seemed more likely to be successful in his profession. He and Mr. Rowland were early associates. The latter, a few years be . fore the period at' which we now find him, had •commenced the nefarious and contemptible traffic in ardent spirits—had grown rich—had induced Watkins to drink—made fiiim drunk, and, by de grees, a drunkard; aud when the poor, besotted victim was unable to pay his debts contracted for rum, and partly by neglecting his professional duties, his former associate, his pretended friend, his de stroyer, was the first to decry and oppress him.—. His horses and oxen were sold by the sheriff; next his household and kitchen furniture were seized and'finally a mortgage was given to Rowland upon the homestead of the drunkard, to secure the rum dealer in payment of a pitiful balance in his favor. This calamity did not check the prodigal career of the inebriate. He still quaffed the liquid poison, and still did the heartless dealer hold out induce ments to upon him to sink lower into wretchedness and shame. A few weeks after, he was one morning found dead in the street. He had left tbe grocery at a very late hour the preceding night, in a state of intoxication. The night, was dark, and he probably missed his way, fell into a gutte’r, found himself unable to get out, and being stupified with rum, he went to sleep and froze to death. ' , Roland, in a short time, foreclosed the mortgage, and the home ol the drunkard’s wife became the le»al property of the man who had destroyed her peace, and reduced her to beggary and want. He permitted her her to remain on the premises, ex acting an extravagant rate of rent. Mental anguish, excessive labor, want of proper nourishment, and exposure, had well nigh worn her out, and she was fast sinking into the grave, where the weary are at rest. No one had been near her—no one seemed to care for her; in fact it was not known even to , her nearest neighbors that she was sick. .i Mr. Rowland felt anxious only for his rent, there being at that time a'-Small sum due. And perhaps it is°owing to that.circumstance that he so readily consented to accompany the litle.girl, to the room of her sick mother. He drew on his overcoat, tied a woolen comfort round his neck; drew on his gloves, and taking his umbrella, set out through the drifting snow and sleet, and bent his way to the. widow’s uncomfortable home. He found her lying on a miserable bed of straw, with her head slightly elevated, the only chair belonging to the house being placed under her pil low, and evidently near the hour of dissolution.— Mr. Rowland being seated on a rudtsjooden stool, she said ih-a feeble but decided tone of voice: o I have sent for you, sir, to .pay me a visit, that 'l‘may make you the heir to my estate. My estate! I know you are ready to ask what estate I have, to bequeath. Ahid well you may ask that. I was once happy—this house was once mine, it was my father’s gift; my wedding'portion. I had horses and oxen, and, cows and sheep, and orchards and meadows. ’Twas you that induced my poor erring husband to drink. ’Twas. you who placed before him the liquid poison, and pressed him to take it 1 ’Twas' you that took away my horses and cows and meadows and orchards and my ow-n home.— . ’Twas you that ruined my peace, destroyed my husband, in the" Very noon of life, and sent him down to a drunkard’s dishonored grave. Twas yoh-that made me a beggar, and cast my poor, starving babes upon the charity of a pitiless world. I'have nothing left but these quilts— those you do not want; yet I have determined to bequeath you my estate. Here, sir, ie my last will and testament, Iho bequeath to you this vial of tears—-they are tears that I have shed—tears that you have caused. Take this vial, wear it about you, and when, here * afterjiyou present the flowing bowl to the lips of a „ husband and father, remember that you .are inheri ting another |vial of widow’s tears !” An hour more, and the poor widow, the widow of-a thousand sorrows, the once favored child.pt fortune, the -once lovely and wealthy bride, the •once affectionate,wife and devoted young mother, lay cold and: senseless in death, and her soul-had ' been summoned toihat God who said—“ Vengeance is mine—l' • i 1 Palekmo, May 30, 1850, Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of yesterday’s date, on the subject of the.mode of cultivation of sumac (Sicily) —an article of commerce of great important to the .Sicilians, as it is also to the Americans—iit is my opinion that this article, so important for manufacturing purposes and tanning uses,"can be produced in the United States sufficient to supply the world, if the mode of its cultivation be understood and proper attention paid to it. I have no doubt that it is the same kind that grows in the United States, which there runs to the'size of trees. In Sicily, they plant the root or small plant from two to three feet apart; not always in regular rows, (as .we do Indian corn hillß, about three feet apart, rows about four, so that the plough or har row .can save the_hand labor of the hoe;) they hpe it two or three times before the rains finish in May, and gather it in July and August.— The'leaves are the only parts made use of after being separated from the twigs by thrashing, or, in this country, both ways, thrashing and" trod off, by .oxen or horsesj'then the leaves are ground to the fineness you see it in bags in the United States, using sieves or bolting cloths fineness, and put into bags of one hundred and sixty pounds each. The proper season of planting the roots or plants is in November, December arid July. When -in the rainy season, the plants take root The root or stump is cut off about four to six inch es above groundi and the scions or sprouts, four to six, spring up out of each root, arid when at matu rity (in July or August in this island) they arc all, cut off at the stump, and. laid' in small handfuls (not spread out njuch, as the sun will turn the leaves yellow) to dry, say for a day or so, that the leaves will yield to the flail-. Great care should be taken that no rain falls on the leaves after being cut. Terhaps in this country they may find it bet ter to plant nearer together than would be required | in America, on account of the great heat of the sun here, as in this way they shade the ground better. The leaves .are ground in mills moved by horse power, but water or steam power would be much the cheapest and best mode. The perpendicular running stones 'weigh nearly 3000 pounds, which run double or single stones round an upright shaft. The under or foundation stone weighs more, and is„ one third more diameter than the running stone.— The surface is a little rough by occasional touches with the.pick or cold chisel. Some on the outer edges of the running stones have granite stones. Here they use a volcanic- stone, which is as hard as marble ; and following round the running stones is a little piece of wood that keeps -the leaves al ways under the stones. When fine enough to silt or bolt, they have a large high room to sift or bolt it into, with a door to enter and fill the tegs. This article in Sicily is more or less adulterated with spurious stuff, such as other kinds of leaves and an article called brucca, which resemble the sumac'; but in New England this has no value. ” I believe the first year they do not cut off the sprouts. In the second and following years a curious freak of na ture produces a single plant a foot Qr so distant from the original root; and this little plant is what they usually make use of to transplant. Now the plough or harrow would prevent these from grow ing as they would be in the track ; and this may be°the reason why they hoe it; but I think the plough or harrow’in our country might be made use of, and contrive some way or other to save those little plants if wanted. I .would recommend to you to let me engage, to begin this mode of cultivation oi sumac, one or two young Sicilian farmers, to go to Virginia for two or three years, who understand the cultivation, of not only sumac, but lemons and oranges, grapes and olives, as well as all other productions of Si cily. Their wages in Sicily are about twenty five to thirty-three cents per day and found—equal to perhaps half a dollar a day in the United States.— Their passage to the United States could be ob tained for $25, or little over ; or perhaps our Gov ernment would deem it of importance enough to give them a passage either in a merchant or a I United State# vessel. They would take with them . all kinds of Sicily wheat and other grains, and sumac plants, I can always obtain in the proper season, say December and January, twenfy thousand if. required, at a trifling cost. . If the lemon and orange trees of this place were introduced, say in Florida, most likely they would stand the' cold better than what have been already introduced from Cuba, which are not of a hardy kind. I can obtain all that may be wanted for an introduction, and Sicilians to cultivate the trees. The export of -sumac to the .United States last year was 65.000 bags, lemons and oranges 35,000 boxes,' from Sicily; more than' three-fourths from this port. This is the trade in these articles alone; there are also quantities of other productions. If I can serve you or my country in any way | beneficially, it will give me great pleasure to do 60. I am, dear sir, your obedient servant, JOHN M. MARSTON. * Sympathy. Cheerfulness, not enjoyment, is our duty. Be it, then, our aim. In a soul filled with pleasures and mistrust, the heavy air cbeckß the growth of spir itual flowers. Let your heart expand to sympathy’ and compassion, but not to cold mistrust, as the flower opens toThe blessed dew, but closes against the rain.* So little is suffering, so much js happi ness, a proper part of our nature, that, with equal means of delusion, we reach only what'has pained, instead of what has given us pleasuie, Great be reavements work more refreshingly upon the spirit thus than great joyfc; so, on the- contrary, minor sorrows weaken more than minor joys strengthen.

I. have stood beside the fond mother when the terrifying intelligence of her infant s death was first announced to her, and she bent over its lifeless form and wiped away the cold death damp from holy affection. As she gazed upon its glassy and motionless eye, sunk beneath its half closed lid, and its graceful limbs livid and stiffened by the touch of death, I have listened to her stifled Ihriek, and seen her -turn away from this last remnant of mortality, a lone, desolate, and heart stricken being. From the first moment of that iufant’s existence her heart strings had been twining around it, until every, holy feeling that a mother’s love ever knows every fond hope that a mother’s lote ever forms, every cherished idea of purity and virtue and inno cence were centered upon it, so that in its death she heard the knell of all her worldly hopes, of all her bright visions of the future. The hope that he was to soothe her sorrow in after years by his filial love, was crushed, the cherished expectation that he would watch by her bed-side at the hofir of depar ture, to close her aching eyes, to whisper her fare well, “To breath a deep sigh to winds that murmur low And think on all her love and all her wo,” was swept away, and she was left, bereft of solace, and sadly convinced that her hopes were “as the baseless fabric of a vision.” Oh! who can measure the extent of a mother’s deep and sacred love for her-ofispring! It cannot now changel It gushes forth in its holy power as she watches the couch of slumbering innocence,it lives in its freshness and beauty when her child has assumed the stations and duties of manhood; and when time wrinkles the features and palsies the hand it ebbs not l her last prayer is that her child may be blessed; her last look of tenderness is for him alone! .; An Illinois Marriage Certificate. —A cor respondent of the Spirit of the Times writing from “ Coperas Precinct,” Illinois, gives the following as among the “rich ones” which his researches among the legal records have brought to light. We give iis own language: i “ Examining a land title the other day, which involved a question of legitimacy, I stumbled, upon the following .marriage certificate which is decid edly too good to be lost, and is literally bona fide. The marriage, of which this is the only legal evi dence, took place in Coperas Precinct, in this co., in the infancy of the country; or rather in primi tive times, and the magistrate ought to be immor talized, whether he ever gets his commission or not The certificate is in these words — State of Illinois Peoria county ss To all the world Greeting.

O M -B [ss] Justice Peace. I put the initials only of the magistrate, for the reason that this legal luminary is still living, and probably too modest to covet the fame to whieh he is. so justly entitled. Don’t he deserve a pension, and the unanimous thanks of those interested in the rapid peopling of the State, as well as thoße who can't,wait lor commissions'?” Petticoat Sovereignty. —The following from the outlandish biped of York Times, is the most ungallant thing we have seen for a long time. If woman, he says, is to be a man! (what heresy!) she ought to pay her own way, “like a man”—do her own fighting, and sundry other masculine things- Here are the “ odious conditions ” he desires to exact from her for assuming to wear the unmentionables. We are only surprised how the Amazonians ol the Empire City can rest quiescently under such outra. geous demands. Hear what the scape-grace says: “ We trust in aspiring to the dignities of man, the feminines will relinquish the special privileges they enjoy as the weaker sex. If woman is to be man —if she is -to share in all our enjoyments and pat ronise our tailors, we submit that she ought to take her chance in the omnibuses, rail-cars and steam boats—pay her own to places of amusements —and, in all respects, do her own fighting ‘‘ like a man.”— If we are to take our turns at rocking the cradle and washing the dishes, she must “shin it” on quarter day. see to the delivery of goods and make out invoices. If she insults us,, she'must expect to have her nose pulled; for in putting off her own delicacy, she loses all title to be treated with deli cacy by us. After taking the world and tumble for a few months, the veriest Spartan of the -sex would be content, we think, to subside into the de pendence which is the very essence of her sov reignty.” Melodt of Death. —One oi the most beautiful effusions of Byron bore this title, and it strikes us that the following extract from the poem embodies sojne of the sublimest ideas the English language has ever expressed: “ Thou shaft lie down With patriarchs of the infant world —with kings, The powerful of the earth —the wise, the good, Fair forms and hoary seers of ages past, All in one migkty sepulchre. . |XT *4 Bustle as is a Bustle.— An English paper •informs us that a Miss Gresley Jarman’s bustle waslately exhibited at the Clerkenwell Police Court, and contained no less than ten pounds of feathers, which she was charged with having stolen from her lodgings. She denied the robbery,* and declared that ten pounds of feathers'was the usual compli ment of the bustles she wore.
