I've aot some news to tell that you cant guess if you try till next never, so you may as well give it up furst as last afore you bep-in. And vou aint to let on a word about it on'y to Julii terand Kier and Selinv. Comi to think, I don't rare if you 1ej Sain Penderrrasses wife, bein as how she's a partieklrr. friend o' mine. Out dont you opn yer head aliuiiciv i. .... --w,' ... ...... .. v want tosupprisi th W'upjlelown folks, and make em open thrr eves a lot-tie. Come to consider, I guess you'd better not tell Miss IVnderrrass, for line afeavd she cant ke p it to herself. She miiht let it out to the Kenipes, and they'd tell the Crosbys, and the Crosby's they'd carry it straight to Major Coon's wife, and she'd be sure to tejl old Dawson's wife, (Ibe widder Jinkins that was she 'twas Poll Bingham,) and site's the verry undenlical person I want to keep it from till it busts upon her all of a sutlding, like a thunder clap. I guess Tie letiher know't I can hold my head as high as hern in futur, for who did she git but a decrippid old bun": head that she wouldn't a had if she could got anybody else. I guess on, the hull you hadn't better say nothing about it to Kier's wife, for fear she'll tell her folks, and thpy'll sartainlv devulgate it all round. If you dew tell her, you make her promise she wont hint a sillyble about it to her stepmother she 'twas Rosier Winkle nor to nobody else. You must all keep it a profound secret till I come. If nothing happens to pervent, we shall be in Wiergh ton next week a Saturday, on our bridle tewer. , A Sunday rnornin we calki'ate to go to meeting long a you and Jubiter, and in the arternoon we shall tend the baptist meetin. I tell ' ye, wont ther be-some starin' in Wi-r-rletown that day. - I sim-ss they'll find out that Ime as good as enrjy on 'm if not a leetle better. I shant liev on none o' the things they've ever geen me wear. , My rig?in is to be intijvly new. ..Y-'r Uncle Magwire. has made me a present of a handsome green merino diK-ss,. and your aunt Magwire has gin me a new brown velvet bunnit, and yer cpusin Jefll-rson has presented me a nele gaiit plad shawl, and I catkilate -to come Qut ju. em a" in Wiggieow'n.' 11 Speakin q' niy new Wardrobes, reminds ,Tiet.o tell you that if Jabe Clark' comes your wav a peddlin, not to trade a cents wotli with him.

" My blud biles how a thinkin on 't. lie portended he'd experienced religion, and lamented over the wav he used tocbeat and lie1; Bud as true as I lire and breathe, actillv sot round me so 't he preBwadod m.e to swop away a uelegant stun colored silk, that cost me a dollar a yard, for a miserable slazv stnmd consarn, itrmt he said was al) the fashion now called it "aiody flewry" , and what makes it more ajgravatin, made me pay tew dollars to boot, Hut that want the wost on 't. for come to onroll itr we found that three or four yards away at tother eend on 't was all dammidged and stained up twant fit for nothing. Yer aunt was mad at me for bein so took ih, and yer uncle he lafft and hectored 'mp. and went on about it you know what a critter he is (o bother a boddy. At last i busted out cry In, and went off and shot rnysvlf up; in my room, and stayed there till tea tiintt and when I r.ome down, lo and behold, yer uncle etept up and handed mo a rir-w.pTfen merino dress he'd ben off to the store nd bought it a pur post (or Aip.'fringe, andut tons and everything to trim it with ; fnd Ive cot it mane up, and it setslik a nanny ; SUNBlJitV, NORTriUMBKRLAN D COUNTY, 1A.

But taint to be wondered at that I forgot, for Ive got such a numerous number c things to think on now. My future com panion is the baptist minister of this place by the name. Elder Sniffles. The way we come acquainted was quite singular. You see I took to altendin his meetin be cause the presbyterian minister here is such small polaters that twant eddilvin for me to set under his preachin, and tinderstandin that oltler bnilfles was a very gilled man I thought Ide go to hear him."' Well, 1 liked him wonderful well, he's a powerful speak er and his prayers is highly intereslin. So I goes to hear him a number o' times. Hp obsarved me and wasividently pleased with me but, ciurinz a! the time I was crealin such a s nsalion in hisfeelinsl never knowd but what he had a wife. How I did feel when I found out he was a M iddiwrr. I was dr.-tfully fhistrated, and'kt p mvself as scerce as possibfe. ' But ho follerd me tip accept of him. Its so moloncolly to be alone in the world, and then ministers dont irow on evry bush. The weddin is to take place next week a Wensday evenin at yer uncle's. .. Elder Yawpers, from Slab town, is to reform tho ceremony and preach in elder Sniflleses place the next Sabbath when we're gone. The elder lives in a gamble rufft yaller house, I mean to make him put wines to't and make it look ruther more fashionable. It stans on a descendin elevation that slants down to thp canawl on oile side, and not fur behind it is a morantic grove, He haint no family but a little hiirhty tiihty gal that they brought up. I tel) ye if I dont make her stan round when. I get there Ime mis taken.. We shall start , for Wigglotown a Thursday, in the stage and git thrfe,'I spose, a "Saturday evenin. : Now Melissy Smith remember youre to keep it a profound secret.

Bui this we have not seen. Cnpt. Kiivolski, how ever, assures us that it s very easily done. The Philadelphia market is pretty well supplied wjth capons at present, by some Jersey farmers, who have made a deal of money by attention to this improvement. The price is still held so high as to limit the demand very much ' ' We would advise every farmer to try this. If he lacks confidence, he can make his first essay oh the dead bird. A.

A per centum ol tho proceeds ot the public land sales is to be applied lo the con struction of .the woik. It is to be an under taking by the Government, without the co. operation of individual stockholders. The Government is to build tho road, and to own it wnen Uuiit. . A branch road is to run to Oregon and to connect with the Columbia river. ' In submitting this plan, Mr. Benton made? a most eloquent speech, bf which the follow ing is an extract : ; ! '; v "The road I proposo is necessary lo n, and now. We want it now. The state of our possession on the Pacific demands it. The time to begin has arrived. All the necessa ry information is on hand. The means, are ready. The title to Oregon is settled, and a government established there, and population is growing up. California is acquired, peo. pie are there, and a government must follow! We have a fleet on thnt coast: troops there, and going. - Streams of population are con centrating there. Since the discovery of the new world by Columbus Jhero has , not Uceu such an unsettling of the foundations of socie ty. Not merely individuals and companies, but communities nnd nations are in com motion, all bound to the setting sun to the gilded horizon of western America. 'For want of an American road, they take foreign routes, far round, by sea, and land, to reach, by ail immenso circuit, what is a part of their own laud. Until we can get a road of our own, we must use and support a fo reign route, but that is a temporary resource, demanded by tho exigency of the times, and and until we can get our own ready. Never did so great an object piesent itself to tho ac ceptance of a nation. We own the country from sea to sea, from the Atlantic lo the Pa cific, and upon a breadth equal to the length of the Mississippi, and embracing the whole mporatzjvi,1.X.hji:0 tUQUsnnd.m.ies across ilellogram of our domain.
