AN ENCHANTED ISLAND..
A wonderful stream is the river or Time,
As it runs through the realms of — tears,
With a faultless rhythm, and a musiail rhyme,
And—a—hroader_sweep,l_and a surge sublime,
• And blends' with the ucean of years.
There's a musical Isle up the river of Time,
Where the softest ales are playinc •
.There's a cloudless sky and a tropical clime,
And a song as sweet.as a vesper -chime,
And the tunes with the roses are staying.
And the name of that Isle the Long Ago,
And we bury our Areas:tires there ;
There are brows of beauty, and booms of snow,
There are heaps of dust, but we love them so:
There are trinkets, and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of song that nobody sings,
And a part of an infant's prayer;
There's a lute unwept, and a harp without strings ;
There are broken vows an i pie':ei of rings,
And the garment she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the fairy shore
. By the mirage is lifted inlair;
And we sometimes bear through the turbulent roar,
Emmet voices we heard in days gone before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
0, remembered for aye be the bleshed lete,
All the days of our life until night; -
And when evening, comes with its beautiful smite,
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile.
May that —greenwood , of soul be in sight.

Revolutionary Anecdote.
-A' gentleman sends from Kingston to' the Dos
ton,Ti aveller 'the following incident connected
with the revolutionary war, which he believes
has never • befoin found its way into print :
"lii 17—, while our country was at war with
England, the Tories, as they were called,' un
l' to espouse their country's cause.
',Left their country for their ; country's good,
As•tories and traitors always should !'
”Among the:nuintier who thus left for the
British dominions in Nova Scotia, was my aunt
F—,' with her tory husband.
'During the war, an American privateer
was seen approaching L—, where my aunt
and 'other Americans were located. At the
approach of the ugly-looking stranger, all the
Americans fled 'except my aunt, who kept a
small store near the, place' of entry. Having
secured, what she could from her shop, she has
tened to, her house to secure her valuables
there, also; but the officers of the privateer were
too close upon her heels to allow her to secrete
much. They came upon her just as she was
entering a chamber which had been previously
left in some confusion. Seeing the -officers so
near to her, she turned in an instant, and with
her usual quickness of invention., for she was
always ready for a turn, said to the leader—
'l - hope'you will pa'rdon the appearance of my
room, as we have just had the small-pox in it,
• and have not had time to put things to rights
since the patient 'was carried off.' It was 'a
word and a blow,' as we say. In his haste to
escape, the officer turned upon his heel, and
in turning fell over the' staircase and rolled
down two flight of stairs into the street, drop
ping from its scabbard an elegantly mounted
sword, which he left 'behind as a prize to my
aunt. Picking himself up the best he could,
he-was joined by- his comrades, and very soon
the privateer - had her sails spread and was out
of sight and out of danger, leaving niy aunt to
laugh over her'well-timed stratagem, and to
. hunt for her money-box, which was found
- some months afterwards among the currant
bushes in the garden, just where she placed it
hexself when she took it from the shop"."
A Ghost in Love.
.
A farmer; who had lately become a widower,
was aroused at midnight by the loud bark of
his dog. On going to it, the animal displayed
extreme terror, whereup'rn the farmer took his
gun and proceeded to an inspection.
All at once, he saw a phantom, clothed in a
white sheet, rise behind the hedge., The farm
er turned deadly pale, and his limbs shook
with dismay. He, however, contrived to ejac
ulate--
"If you come from God, speak ; if from the
devil, vanish !"
"Wretch !" exclaimed the phantom, "I am
your deceased wife, come from the grave to
warn you not to marry Maria A—, to whom
you are making love. The only woman to suc
ceed me is Henrietta Marry her, or
persecution and eternal torment shall be your
doom !" •
' - -This strange address from the goblin, instead
if dismaying the fanner, restored his courage.
He accordingly rushed on the ghostly visitor,
and, stripping off its sheet, discovered the fair
Bennett.% B— herself, looking extremely
foolish.
- It is said that the farmer, admiring the girl's
trick, has had the bands • publishe for his
marriage with her.

A Sheep Speculation.
A very verdant youth, on-thb — shady side or
thirty, travelled out of sightrof 116 - me - for pur-
Poses unknown, and stopped at a hotel to pro
cure refreshments. The usual loungers of the
bar-room, together *with_•a_conple of drOvers
bound for the eastern market with a choice col
lection of sheep. were in that happy good hu
mor said to be produced. by a satisfactory din
ner, going in for anything to 'prolong the cheer•.
A tip of the eye from'one to the Other as he
entered indicated that they considered this
awkward specimen "game," and —mine host"
glanced inquisitively at his rough exterior, as
though taking an inventory and balancing ac
counts for dinner. The innocent object,seeni-
ingly unconscious,. stared at everything. with
dull satisfaction, and answered the queries, ad
dressed to him, with a stuttering,- foreign ac 7
cent, highly amusing. His dinner being ready
'he addressed himself to the "cold bite," not at
all disturbed by the choice bits of conversation
coming up from the bar=rotn below, 'such as
•raw dutchman--fresh from Baden—devilish
fine fun," tic.. mingled with uproarioug laugh- I
ter, which suddenly ceased on his return.
"Sheep, eh !" he said, addressing drover
No. one.
"Yes, sheep : would'utyou like to purchase
some four or five hundred to stock your farm
with ? ha ! ha!"
H-h-how du sell 'um ?" asked the DutelF,
man.
"Seeing it's you," said drover
. No. two, ta
kiln, him by the button-hole and speaking with
mock spriuusness. "seeing it's you, neighbor,
you may have all you can pay for at two dollars
per head."
"P-p-pick !" exclaimed the Dutchman.
"Yes, have
_your pick, and take all you can
pay for at two dollars _per head."
‘.Well, I g-g-guess I will look at 'ern," so off
went the drovers and - dtitchman, followed - by
all in the bar-room, even ;mine host himself, to
see the fun. •
‘‘Gentleinans, yo❑ hear the bargain.'!
"Yes, we hear the_bargain : have all you can
pay for at two dollars per head. .Come, hand
out your money, and pick your sheep."
Dutchman rather leisurely opened his capa
cious wallet, and surprised the bystanders by
piesentino:- in all twenty dollars, and proceeded
to select Cis sheep. Here the drovers discover
ed that he' knew what was mutton, and had
probably learned to dikinguish wool from
another article called hair.
"Hold on, mart!" said drover No. one,
"you've your number, here"s.ten."
"Well. but m-may be I-I-I might find enough
t-t-to pay - for a few more:" So he threw over
in , all one hundred and twenty-five, tha
straightening up,
"H-h-here's your money, sir'; I 'spose I-I
could f -pay for more, but I guess I-I've got all
the g-g-good't'nns !"
The drovers found little satisfaction in the
roars of laughter that greeted this announce
ment, and they cursed the Dutchman most
heartily, who proved to be a Yankee after all.

Joe Dovetail had a wife. a strong-minded
wife, She looked upon Joe as a sort of neces
sary evil, treating him very much as the lady
did her husband on the North 1: ::team
boat, who ventured to object to some of her
arrangements for travel, when she shut hint
up suddenly by telling him, in the hearing of
a dozen passengers—" Why, what is it to you ?
If I had known you were going to act so, I
wouldn't have brought you along." But Joe
and Mrs. Dovetail never travelled. They were
always at home, .thotigh Joe was rarely seen
there or elsewhere. She had long trained him
-to-the habit of- retiring under the 'bed when
company called, and so familiar had he become
with that retreat, it was a question whether,
in default of personal service. , a warning to a
militia training would hold him, unless left
under that bed ; as being his "last usual place
of abode." During the stay of Mrs. -Joe's
friends, he occasionally thruSt out his Lead
like a turtle, but one glance of the loving eye
of his spouse would send him under with cold
shivers running up his-back. One day, as
sh,; was hob-nobbing Over the fire with a
friend and a social glass, Joe thrust out his
figure-head, and defied the-shakes and frowns
of his wife, till, growing valiant and despe

A Black Joke.
The. appended negro story, copied from a
Southern correspondent of the Boston Journal,
is not bad :
" General gave his black man, Saw

worth of zoology at a menagerie, at the same
time hinting to him the striking affinity be
tween the Simla and negro races. Our sable

a bright idea, he extended his hand with a
genuine Southern air—•llow dy'e do, uncle ?'
The ape clasped the negro's hand and shook
it long and cordially.
...Sawiiey then plied his new acquaintance
with interrogations as to his name, age, nativ
ity, and former occupations, but eliciting no
replies beyond a knowing shake of the head.
or a merry twinkling of the eye. (the ape was
probably meditating-the best way of tweaking
the darkey's nose.) he concluded the ape was
humid to. keep non-committal, and looking
cautiously around, clinckletiout :

It appears that an Eastern collector had stop
ped at Dayton to spend - the night, and gain
some information about his course. During.
the evening he became acquainted with an
old drover, who- appeared- well posted as to
the geographyoftge country. and the collector
thought he aught as well inquire as regards the
best route to different points to which he was
destined.
'•I wish to go' to Greenfield," said the col
lector, "now which wilt be my shortest way ?"
"Well, sir," said the 'drover, "you had bet
ter go to Napoleon and take the road leading
nearly north.''
9 he traveller noted it down.
“Well, sir, if I wish 'to go to Edinburgh ?"
"Then go to Napoleon, and take the read
west." '
—Well, if I wish to go to Vernon ?"
"Go to Napoleon, and take the road south
west."
"Or to Indianapolis ?" asked the collector,
eyeing the drover closely, and thanking he was
being imposed upon. •
"Go to Napoleon and follow the north-west
road."
The collector looked at his note-book : every
direction had Napoleon in it: he began to feel
his mettle rise, and he turned once more to the
drover, with :
‘..Suppose, my friend, I .wanted to - io to
h—ll.?'
The drover never smiles , scratched his head,
and after a moment's' consideration, said :
"Well, my dear sir, I don't know - of atty
shorter road you could take than to go to '...\:apo-
Leon."
A Western correspondent of Zion's Harald.

story.:

with an animated countenance to the glowing

of his freaks are thus recorded : On his first

brellas of the place, as it was a rainy day. and
had them presented to the pipulation in the
streets. On arriving at, Paris, he went to the
theatre, and seeing a large audience of bare

immediately for such number of hats as would
cover the destitute thousands before him. The
day after, be stationed himself opposite

large carriage-stand on the Boulvevards, and
employed himself with begging every young

expense. A subsequent enterprise has been
to ride through the city, followed by a load of
ready-made cloaks and over-coats, and stop

to beg his acceptance of the article he seemed
to need. Ile is said to have negotiated for the
hire of a whole theatre and performance, to
stand himself at the door, and beg the passers
by to go in free. At the - restaurant where he
once dined, he sent a choice dish and a bottle
of wine to each other person dining in the
room. There is an expensive claSs of Parisian
beauties on his track, who, it is thought, will

Lime-aralifenerator-of-A-miniania:
Na.' Enrrort :--Being one of the' old school
class of farmers who have strong faith in the
efficacy of Lime, I have been waiting with
some anxiety to see whether the ‘•progressive"
spirit, - so rife 'every where. would not atteMpt
Ao"rule it out of use. So fierce an onslaught
was made upon it a feW years since, that many.
who knew of the value of Lime by repiitation
only, and not from an actual practical, test.
were led to look to other sources for the means
with' which.to improve the character of their
land. lam pleased however to observe that a
reaction is taking place, and the hope 'may now
be reasonably indulged that Lime will Mice
more hold its original phsition in the affections
of the farmers... Having used it largely upon
clayey limestone soil for, many years with de
cided advantage, I heve So innch confidence
in it, that I know of no other snbstance' with
which I could replace it, with equal advantage.'
In the. following extract from an English
periodical, I observe that a new (to me at least)
effect is produced by effebt diainetri
catty the opposite of that which it has, hitherto
beenfupposo to exert. viz., a generator of
ammonia, instead of a dissipater of it : '
“It may be asked how it is possible that
'ammonia can' be engendered by the addition of
lime, when it is a notorious fact, that lime dis
sipates ammonia, and drives it out from the
soil ? But facts are true. Whenever chile:
quick 'orslacked lime is mixed with a soil con
taining ammonia, in its salts, the ammonia is
volatilized (driven away) ; but when the lime
.nice becomes wild, that is, converted into car
bonate, it ceases to expel ammonia from its
combinations inthe soil : it' does not however
in -this state, cease to act on the' vegetable_
matter of soils, but assists greatly in the for
mation of ammonia, and also of nitrates. The
presence of mild lime assists especially in the
formatiot of nitrates, from the influence of the
nitrogen contained in the ammonia. _ It is well
known that the 'production of nitre and salt
petre.' depends upon certainproperties of lime,
whereby nitric acid is, engendered from yege-,
table matter. In old compost heaps. nitrate
of lime is always to be found, and this salt is
a most valuable manure. This. explains a
common practice among farmers, for many of
theta are in favor of applying lime soon after a
dressing of farm-yard manure. Now, however
objectionable 'this may be, and nothiiv , indeed
can be more so, than to mix quick limT with
well fermented manure ; with manure there
fore, which contains the largest amount of
ready formed ammonia, the case is greatly al
tered when lime is mild. It then imolai!) , aids
in retaining or keeping in the ammonia by
turning it first into nitric acid, which unites
with a portion of 'the lime, forming nitrate of
lime, and in this way retaining whatever is
valuable in the ammonia. without in the least
'degree impairing its efficacy for promoting
vegetation ; for if nitrates are not valuable,
how can we account for the Marvellous effects
of the nitrate of soda, as a top dressing for
corn (wheat &e.) crops'?" ar. -

The Speaker read the folhaWing letter :
~,
"Boston. Sat urday .. April '2 1; .1855;
Hon.' Daniel C. Eddy—Sir—The }lenge 'of
representatives having ,to-day, for -the .first
time, voted to receive the evidence' relating to
certain slanderous charges made, by a venal
political press, of criminal, condiict'on niy Peri
while a -member of 'a committee 'of the liOnse.
subsequently 'voted that -said charges were not
• sustained."
In view of these facts
,1 consider• my perso
nal honor entirely vindicated, and that further
action on my part might seem unnecessary.
It is evident. however,'that a corrupt polit
ical press, L aided 'by the, personal enmity of
individuals, by continued agitation of the sub-,
ject, design to injure,.through me, the Atneri
can, party. pf which I maven humble member,
-and to delay the business of the session:
Ftherefore respectfully resign .thy' Seat as' a
representative from the city of Boston, - 1 ....„:
It was any intention to have resigned at an
earlierday. -I'desired; hoWever, to retain niyi
seat until . , all - the _facta in .the. case .wehe.mtide
known to the.,public... In .resigning, permit
Inc to express - my respect for the members in
dividually, and - My 'earnest' liopekhat their ac
tion in all respects may redound.to the . honor•
of the State,of Massachusetts and the Anieri-,
can cause. - : ' ' ."- ' l' t '" ' ''' -.:.
I am, sir;respectfully, your obedient servant;
JUSITII 11155.,,'
Mr. GRIFFIN, of CharleStown, said he'had
a few words to say 'in relation to this matter:
and he Should subsequently move - that Ahis
letter be not aceepted. ft -was not proper that
the house should accept the resignation of, Mr.,
Hiss ; and the house owes it, to itself to
;dis
pense with his services in some other Way. ft
had been said that suicide was confession—in
this case it may be alleged that- resignation is
confession; and .it .is because of the,damnable
evidence that has been produeed that ?0b.,. Hiss,
has sent in his letter of resign:mini: " ' ' ''' ''
Mr. Griffin,- after' these( brief 'prefafory re;
marks, proceeded to give the reasons I of, Ins
opposition to the acceptance, of the yesignation.
of Mr. lliss : _ ,
Firin—Jeseph Hiss went to 'Uveil on-ofit-•
dal business in the name and at-the charge:of
the commonwealth, *on 'March ,t49.th. 1 k 355 -.
Before reselling ,the ; Washington llmetc, „In
Lowell, he was Seen, in - etinversaiien:With 'it

Second—lle registered; the nanit -of ;it Mrs..
Patteraon ;he hotel, thouglrshe,eird.pohAwt ,
company, him thither, but subsequently came.
Third-Ile requested 'that she might tid q fur;
wished with agoodr own.
fourth--As usually ; is done at public houses
in cases where gentlemen are itcpa n paritvdhy'
ladies, the clerk 'or Other ,
perSein whii'aSsigited'
rooms to this party, gave Mrs. Patterson No.
12, and designated No. 13 to'Mr.. lliss—these ;
rooms being adjacent.
Iliss cannot remember,
when inquired of - in coMinittee of the whole:
whether he asked that this - woman's supper
should be sent to her room, to be eaten in pri
-vate or not ; but the clerk at the hotel,. had lie
been interrogated on- that painti. would chairo
testified that he did, make,sucli arequest,
Sixth—Although M r . Iliss knew that he bad
registered Mrs. Patterson 'with the cnturnittee,
and although he wasasked by the clerk if - the
bill - he contemplated should be made to the'
State Should inclUde the vvliole,. - Mr, :168- re
plied affirmatively, and never intimated- to'the
bar 'keeper or anybody else either that Mrs.
Patterson was to tray for herself. or -that she
was-not to be made a charge to the counuon
wealth. ,' •
Seventh—No other persone.,.' cept Mr. flies
ever appeared at the hotel to settle Mrs. Pay- -
terson's Irill,.por did .the., unknown gentleman
to by Mr. hiss, nor Mrs. Patterson,
ring op the landlord or his servants,' iii - b - rdt;r
to settle the same.' „
Eighth—Thu bed of Mrs. Patterson, the;
connoittee even were-compelled upon
the facts, had been invaded by a Atari during
the night
Ninth—The adjacent. couch
_assigned to Mr.,
Hiss and open to his occupancy, 'althOtigh . in
some measure disturbed, as feeble-minded
cunning even would dictate, did not look as
though it had a permanent tenant during am
night.
Tenth —Now this Woman with whoin lie was
seen=to converse, the woman whom he designa
tO a 5 Mis. Pattersorhon the register, and who
occupied No. .1.2 at the hotel, was one and the
same person ; and a woman, as the committee
found in the testimony before them; of natori
ou,ly easy virtue.
Eleventh—'Although Mr. Hiss Said in the
committee of the whole, that he knew the man
who had this woman in charge, and who, as
he must. have intended, we should believe oc
cupied the room with her, thus acecffinting for
the disturbed condition in which the bed was
he-rli-fu-se3s-to--4-isel use the-n-mO3-I.4 , casu..
he promised not to do so ; but says he - will tell
the name to the committee, if they will give
him assurance that it never shall be diz 3 closed.
Twelfth—lf this apology be heeded it plunges
him who offers it still deeper in difficulty, be
cause if he acted as the purveyor to the &pray
, e tiLp of his friend. and connived at and
made arrangements for the commissioi . and
protection of his crimes, he di.“graced himself
i and the legislature of which he is a member.
I quite as badly as though he himself had fallen
i by a lion like temptation springing suddenly
i and pnwerfidly upon his pasauns ••and over
! connug his virtue before resistance could
begin " ..s.
