Ob I fairer than T.rmillios, Shed upoo westeru ikies, Was the blush of that sweet Castilliao Girl, with the deep brown cyei As ber happy heart grew firmer, la the Strang bright days of yore, When eho beard youog Kdward murmur, I love thee, Kleanore 1" Sweeter tban musical cadence Of the wind 'mid cedar and lime, It love to a timid maidou's lleatt, iu the fresh spring-time ; Sweeter than waves that mutter And break on a sineoug .bore, Are the enngs ber fancies ntter To brown-eyed Eleanors. They twain went forth together, Away over the Midland Maiu, Through the golden summer weather, To Syria's mystic plain. Together, toil and danger And the death or their loved ones born, And perils from 1'ayniin, stranger Than death to KleuDore. Where Lincoln's towers of wonder .Sour high o'er the vale of Trent, Their lives were torn asunder ; To her home the good Queen went. Her corpse to the tomb be carried, With grief ut bis heart's stern core And where'er at night they tarried, Ko8e a cross to Kleanore. As ye trace a meteor's onset liy a lino of silver raiu ' As ye truce a regul onset liy streaks of a saffron stain So to the Minister holy, At the west of Loudou's roar, May ye mark how sadly, slowly fussed the corse of Eleuooru. Uuck to where lances quiver Straight buck, by tower and town, Dy hill, and wood, and river For tho love of Scotland's crown. But Ah ! there is the woe within him For the face he shall see no more ; And conquest cunuot win bini From the love of Lcunore. Years after, sternly dying In Ins tent by the nolwuy sea, With the bree7.es of Scotland Hying O'er tho wide sands, wild and free, 4 II is dim thoughts sadly wander To the happy duys of yoro, And he sees, in the gray sky yonder, The eyes of bis Kleanore. Time must destroy those crosses lUibi'J by the Poet-King; lint, ns long as the blue sea tosses, As long as the skylarks sing, As long us London's river Glides stately down to the Kore, Men shall remember ever How he loved Queen Eleaoore. Dublin Unicertity Magazine. ancmis. "TIIE COMMON PEOPLE." This phrase has been in use from time iui memorial, not only as a distinction but as t stigma. btill the "common people,' tlie masses of umukinil, bave enshrined in their hearts the great virtues, and with their Iiudus wrought the great labors of the world, trout the bosom of their needs and aspirations have sprung the noblest exemplars of philosophy mid religion of patriotism and heroism and in every cause and fur every idea, that requir ed martyrs for its vindication, the ranks of the "common people have turnisbed the readiest mcrifice. Many a corner even of wrilteo history bears evidence of this, yet multitudes of aniitocraral and Pharisaical lips have not ceased to curl with scorn whenever they allude to the toiling, patient, humbler majority of mankind. 11 is a good deal now, as it was when cer tain persons asked concerning the "('arpen- tor's Son," "Lave any of the rulers aud I'bar- sees believed on him?" Eighteeu centuries have gone since the aristocracy of Judea re cted the "Light of the orld " because it shono for, and from the midst of, the common people; and who ol to-city is not acquainted with some, even among the professed .lollow- ers of Him who fellowshiped with 'publicaus aud sinuers," who in the bestowal of their regard muke wide allowonce in favor of the "higher classes? Indeed, who does not know some, whose greatest tribulation in the pursuit of good works in thoir oilliculty in lindintr people cood enough to work with. Sir Francis IStirdett honored himself even more than be vindicated our common human ity, when he declared from an English bust iugs thut be knew no common people, in the distinguishing sense of that term. Poor and humble nuonle there were, as contrasted with the rich and the proud, but be bad lived to learn that gome of the poorest specimens of our raco bad come from tbe circles of the most preteutious while many ottb best and noblest men are from tbe ranks of the most unpretending and obscure. He repudiated the phruse "common people 'at on idsuii to humanity and a libel upon God. And if re uuiuteu bv a titled man wiltiin trie inrone, aud in the midst of the proudest feudal castle on earth, bow much more should it be repu diated by us who have rejected thrones and castles 1 We never bear 'the pbrase but it stirs our indignation to its depths, as it calls up in oar mind the host of illustrious names of those who have sprung from tbe character of the race.

Tbe St. Louis Republican has the following item as occuring in that city : About five o'clock Monday evening, two young persons, dressed in a gentlemanly man ner, walked into the office of Justice Heck enwratb, on Walnut street. The oldest in troduced himself as Samuel A. Patterson, and said that for several years he had been paying courteous attentions to Miss Louisa Chamberlain, in oue of tbe border towns of Indiana. His suit had been well received by th young lady, and th.y were engaged to be married ; but tbe father or bis affianced inter posed his objectioas to tbe proposed hymeni ul co-partnership, and declared with great positiveness that the twain, should cot be made one flnsb. Finding Chamberlain, Sr., inexorable, Mr. Patterson bad concluded to go to Pike's Peak, hoping to reap golden treasures as the result of bis journey, and on his return experience less difficultv "in con ciliating his sweelheort's obdurate parent." So, about a week ago, bidding good bye for awhilo to his native town, and indulging in a kiss or two, together with a chaste embrace, in which Miss Louisa was a participant, he steered his coarse for St. Louis. The thought of a long separation from her dearly beloved, but more than all the fear that absence might drive ber image from his heart, was too much for the fair Lo'iisa. Sho took a younger brother into her confidence, and poured into his sympnthotic ear tbe story of her grief. There wans ilash of romance in that younger brother, and said he, "Louisa run off meet Sam marry him end the de vil take the consequences." On that hint she spake. That, indeed, the had aireudy resol ved upon. Tho abovo narrative, pprhsps not in the same words, but in substance similar, was told to Justice Herkcnwrath, night before last, at 5 o'clock, P. M., precisely. The Squire meditated. At length he said he would rather not perform the ceremony. "Uut you must," said Mr. Patterson, "and besides, if you don't some magistrate will, and yoit might us well have the money asuny other." The last was a wise thought for the young anticipatory husbsnd. "Well," observed Esq. H., "bring the lady here I'll tie the knot." Mr. Patterson walked to another portion of the room where bis getituul conipauion had taken a sent. Here she is," he announced, as they both advanced to the Justice's denk. We will not say that the functionary who presides over tbe FourtU Ward wus dumb founded, struck aghast, for he was nut. He was simnlv surprised. He shook bis head and remarked that if the lady would retire to her boading honse and re-appear 4u the cus tome of her sex be would cludly accede to their wishes. A short hour claused. Miss Chamborlain attired iu nil the paraphernalia of hoops and other leminino et colerus, now a nioomiug blushinir vonne ludy of sweet seventeen, eiv tered tbe office, accompanied by the smiling and nltorelher bappv Mr. Patterson. Five minutes served to place them in a new rela lion, and after receiving the congratulations of the peace officer ef the State they depart ed on their way "rejoicing" of course. Ysterdav uiorning the iDdetilical pair were seen iu a buEirv but the bur L.ouis was again violating an ordinance of the city, bv beinir drssted in mule attire. Iu the af ternoon she started back to her home in lu diunn, and on Saturday her bueband leaves St. Louis, still bound fur tbo orauge colored Peak of Pike. A Woman on the Sickles Trial The North Iowa Times contains a letter from a lady a sister of Lydia H. Sigonrney commenting unon an editorial in that pa per in relation to the killing of Key, in which it was said that "Sickles could not have lived had be not have takeu vengeance on tho wi. lev scoundrel who had robbed him of hit po sition ntid disgraced his name." This lady ilnnt. bad "fcuonospd that a man's I virtue was inherert, a part of his ualure, and not simply a reflection of the virtue of bis wiTe." Dut she infers from the editorial al luded to, that "when Mr. Sickles went to Congress, bis position, his honor depended upon the chaste behavior of Mrs. Sickles, his wife, and sho au Italian at that 1 Tho beau tifurwoman, captivated by tbe graces of a handsomer man than her husband, tint is dis covered, nud exposed nnd Mr. 8 , the only innocent person in tbe affair, shoots Mr. Key not for betraying bis wife, but for dishonoring hint !" This she pronounces "egregious self ishness," and continues as follows: "It is strange how differently our sexes are constituted. Women survi these disagree able developments every day. If M r. Sickles bud hired this assignation bouse, and met Mrs. Swizzles, do you think Mrs. Sickles would have gone out to thoot tbe faithless crinoline who bad stolen her husband? No, sir. Women do no such fooliab things, and whv ? because, if we tre virtuous we have confidence in our virtue, and we feel that no dereliction of tbe besband can or' ought to affect the virtue of tbe wire. Hut suppose on tonio fiue Sabbath morning a!l the women in Washington who suspect their truant lords should sally out, 'swords and pistols by their sides,' to chastise tbe dear creatures who had stolen their affections, would not this mark an interesting epoch in history?" The following shows what a woman thinks of a man's courage : "And yet this man, who could not meet the hollow shells of humanity that formed bis society at Washington uutil b bad vindica ted bis honor, mutt now meet the multitudes at his trial hear the coarse jceringt of un principled libertines confroot this wife who he magnanimously promised 'not to injur' bear again and agaiu. wilb exaggeration and minutite, the whole history of bit misery re vivedmeet the wondering looks of bis little one turning from father to mother for an ex planation of this mystery, and in after yeara b tortured by ber recurrence to tbe first chapter of her life't reality !

Be always telling hor from earliest child hood what a beautiful creature she is. It is a capital way of inflating the vanity of a lit tle girl to be cosjstantly PxclaimTug "How pretty!" Children understand shch flattery, even when in tbe nurse's arms, and the evil it done to the character in its earliest formation. 2. Ilerin as soon as she cat toddle around to rig ber up in fashionable clothes and rich dresses. Put a hoop npon ber at once, with all the artificial adornments of flounces and feathers and flowers and curls. Fondness ef drest will thus became a prominent charac teristic and will usurp tbe wholo attention or tbo young immortal and be a long step to wards spoiling her. A. Jvot her visit so much that she finds no happiness at home, and therefore will not be apt to stay there and learn home duties. It is a capital thing for a spoiled daughter to seek all bur happiness in visitine and chance or plaeo and associates. Sba will thus grow as useless as modern fashionable parents de light that their daughters should be. 4. Let her reading consist of novels of the neuspatingly sentimental kind. She will be spoiled she will be spoiled sooner than if she perused history or science. Her heart will be occupied by fictitious scenes and aims pla ced on fashion and dress and romantic attach ment.. fi. be careful that her education gives ber tmnttering of all the accomplishments, without the slightest knowledge ol the things really useful in life. Your daughter wont be spoiled so long es she has a reul desire to be useful in tbo world, and aims at its accom plishments. If her mind and time are occu pied in modern occomplishmeDls, there will be no thought of the necessity and virtue of being of some real use to somebody pervading ber heart, and sho will bs soon ready at a spoiled duughtcr. ti. Ait consequence, keep her in profound ignoranc of all th useful arts or housekeep ing, unptessing upon her mind that it is vul gar to do anything for yourself, or to learn how anything is dono in the house, A spoil ed daughter should never be taught the mys teries of the kitchen such things a lady ul rcayt leaves to the servants. It would be vulgur for her to know bow to dress trout or shad, to bake, to wash, to iron, to sweep, to wring the neck of a live chicken, pluck it and prepare it Tor breakfast, or to do anything that servants are hired to do. As a mistress of a house, it is her duty to sit on a velvet sofa all day, in the midst or a pyramid of silks and flounces, reading tbe last flash novel, while her domestics are performing the labors of I he house.

Many times 1 have callud my little ones from their play when 1 have seen Willie passing the bouse, as he drove a neighbor's cow to uud from pasture. Such vulgar and profane language 1 never heard from the lips of a child. Oue day a lady callud him to her. "Do you po to school, Willie?" A gruff "Xo," was the only reply. "Can you rend ?" "Xo, not much; and I don't want to." The lady pitied tbe boy. He bad no en couiagumeut or instruction at borne. Hit parents were very poor, and what wat fur worse, t'lctuu.t, and the people with whom be lived saw very 'little to encourage tbem to instruct him. After a few kind inquiries. "Will your call a minute as you go back, Willie?" the lady asked. He aetented with a look of wander, and be procured a nice Testament, aud wrota his same in it. In due time he called, seemed pleused at the interest tbe lady felt iu bim and promised her that be would try to pick out at least one verse a day in bis New Tes tament, and that be would go to meeting the next Subbath. Now a fear has past. Among those who statedly worship at yonder Sanctuary tbero is not a more punctuator attentive worship per than Willie 11 . I love to watch bim as ho sits with bis eyes riveted upon tbe Min ister, seeming to drink in every word be utters. The same little 1 estament is seen in the Sabbath School as often as tbe week comes around. With his lesson well learn ed, and his hair neatly brushed back from a fine open brow, and in bis clean "go-to-meeting suit," you would not recognize bim os the same ragged, rough, vulgar boy ol a year ago. lie still passes my bouse upon bis daily errand, but the children are no lon ger called away at bis approach. He is at modest aud respectful as be wus ruue and profane. IIORItlltl.E Ml'KPKK IN A Lt'NATIC ASYLUM One Ma mac cut to Pikcks by Anothkr. The Lunatic Asylum, at Columbus, Ohio, was recently the scene of a horrible affair, resulting iu the death of one of tbe least offensive tenants in tbe institution Among those confined was a butcher, whose insanity appeared to be of tucb a mild type, that he was allowed to range about the establishment at will, and was considered "only a little cracked." At the commencement of tbe pre sent month, a new patient was brought to the asylum, and for the new comer the butcher apparently entertained a feeling of extraordi nary affection. The circumstance was noti ced by the keepers, but they paid do particu lar attention to It ; and the madman were al lowed to be together almost eoutiaually. Oue night, the butcher prevailed upoo his new friend to sleep in bis Cill wilb bim ; but no sooaer was tbe poor creature stretched upon the cot, .than a knife was in bit heart, and bit murderer grasping bistbroat. After making numerous other wounds id the body ol bis victim, tbe maniac cut tb corpse into twelve or fourteen pieces, aud pinned upoo each a bunch of ribbons, and bung thorn upoo hooks in tbe walls of bis apartment as price meat 1 He then called to tbe other lunatics to come aud buy of him, and bad actually told every piece bror'e b wa detected I "The noise of tb maniacs rejoicing over their canibal feast," says an Obio paper, "alormed tbe keeper, who cam in, and soon fooud that there was a mau missing.

The mnsical world has been occupied with tbe debut or Madame Ouetrubella, who is tbe daughter or a former American Consul to Liverpool, Mr. Ward. She is remarkable for greet beauty. Her history. is peculiar. On the death of the Consul, Mrs. Ward left for Italy, in order to complete tho musical education of her daugh ter' At Rome the beauty and talents of tbe young lady attracted the atteution of a young Ku.sinn nobleman, the Count Guerbel. At no other proposition but marriage was admis sable, the Count demanded Miss Ward's hood and they were privately married at Homo A short time afterward th bridegroom dis appeared ; and, after the most heurtronding anxiety on the part oT the riesertud wile and her mother, news was received of his return to l'usbia ; and when applied to for tin expla nation of hie extraordinary conduct, be re turned for answer that he considered himself a free men, not having been, married ir, th Greek church, and that Miss Ward was also at liberty to marry whom she pleased, without any fear of molestation from him. The bit terness and indignation with which this com munication was received can b well imagin ed ; but the American mother was not to be put down by threats or coutempt she im mediately set forth with bar rinnphtcr for St. Petersburg. There the American Con sul, taking the affair in hand, laid the case before the lOmperor Nicholas, who, immedi ately sending for the Count, after administer ing a reprimand, declared it his imperial will that the marriage should be immediately per formed in the imperial chapel of the palace. This was accordingly done, and Miss Ward became tho Countess of Guprbel to all intents and purposes ; but, the ceremony over, the withdrew, nor would the ever apply for one farthing of tho ineome, which the Count dare Lnot, for the life of bint, withhold from hers should she insist upon claiming it.

She wat taken to an eminent occulist, who pronounced -her incurable. She wished to know what the doctor said about ber state, and lier mother told her. "What mother!" exclaimed the child "am 1 never to see the sun, nor the bijtautiful field, nor you, my dear mother, nor my father ; O I how shall 1 bear it?" She wrung her hands, and wept bitterly. Nothing seemed to yield her the slightest comfort till her mother taking a pocket liable from tbe table, placed it in her hands. "What, is this mother?" inquired the disconsolutu little girl. "It is the bible, my child." Immediately a score of its most consolatory passages presouted themselves to her mind, she paused, turned her poor be nighted eyeball towards the ceiling, while an angelic expression played on her countenance and then, as ir filled with the Holy Spirit, breathed forth in an impassioned, but scarcely audible whisper' "J'ty fill be done on earth et it it dune in heartn !"

GT CLARKNCR MAT. Spring is wafting bnmly odors From Ihe sunny Southern sears, And the maple buds are swelling On the tall nud waving trees ; There is music in the streamlets That are sparkling down tbe vale, And a soft aud gentle murmur Fills the dewy evcuing gale. There are furies in the woodlands Singing all the Sunny day, As they bring tbe bright huod flowers From the Southland far away ; And I know they linger n-ar us, As the gay hours speed along, breathing gladsome spirit ttiuviu, Filling every heart with song. but the Spring brings not the visions Tliot it did in yeata of yore, Ere my heart knew auoht of sorrow, Ah ! "dear old titrto" is o'er : And its music can not cheer me With that soul enthralling spell, Making earth fur gayer, brighter, As it ou my spirit fell. There arc loved ones lowly sleeping 'Neath the cold aud grassy sod ; Tbo' 1 know that they ere biippy, For tbey have wandered home to God, but the heart must ever sadden, Whuu the loved of earth are goon, And we miss the voice that gladdened With its fond, devoted toue. Aye ! tbe Sprigg is still as joyous As it wot in days ofynre, but I think of friend" departed, And its music-spell is o'er. There are whispers in eoch zephvr, As it wanders lightly by.

The preparation of the ground will now ba pushed on as urgently as possible, bear in maid tho necessity ol closer planting man is nasal, to give you a full crop of eorn. W hile five feet square will give about 1,700 hills,( four reel each way will give 2,700 and three and a half feet each way, more than 3,700 bills. With manure enough and proper working, this number will grow as well with out firing and burning as that first named. But you must not put off working it until Ju ly. You com 0' go withiiloupb or cultivator into corn six to eight feet high tho roots, branching through every inch of tho toil witbont doing it irreporable damage. Wo say, therefore, ogain work your corn before it is planted, and work it immediately after it is planted, plant closely, and "lay by" early, if vou expect to make a full crop. Get on quickly now with the planting rolling the dry corn in tar till each groin is coaled slitrbt ly, and sprinkling with gypsum or dry ashes to separate the grains. ci.ovra riEt.Ds.

This crop is oonstantly growing in importance As to kiud, we should plant always a good variety of white potatoes. We have not met with a yellow potato that any nui-Tial above a hog should eat, and it is amazing to see the variety of. miserable root with which tho market it glutted, called potatoet. For the main crop, the Peach blow stands high as to quality and productiveness. The Foxito (while) we know by experience to be excel lent io quulity, and much more productive than the Mercer. Tbe Mercer is oo old fa vorite as to quality, but a poor producer. There are several other varieties which are highly spoken of north of us by their severul advocates, as tbe Prince Albert and the bvck eye, which have not been tested with us. Tho Carter, though a good potato, bus declined in popularity. The crops should be plnoted in a rich well turned sod, if it cuu be had ; though any well worked, well manured ground will do. Where rot is feared, it is very desirable we think the manure the tod sufficiently in the fall by top dressing, and to apply only a mo derate dressing of asliea and pluster at the timo of planting. We are in the habit, how ever, of using all sorts of manures wilb suc cess iu immediate connection with thu plant inga. Peruvian Guano is very good put in tbe drills at planting. Stable and oilier long manures we put on top of ihe planting be fore covering. It acts as a mulch, and what it very important to thi crop, preserves a uniform temperature. Time of planting. Much difference of Opiuion exist at to tho lime of planting po tatoes for the main or lata crop. The ulmosl universal recommendation of Ihe (icricullniul journals is to plant early. A warlv ev. u us April and the beginning ol si ay. ill sup posed thut the tally planting' exempts thu crop in a measure Irom ihe liability to rot. W doubt very much the correctness ol this theory, and think it should nut be considered in determining the question. Our droughts are must likely to take pUre between il.e middle of June tnd tbe middle of August -It it no advantage lathe crop to have the tuber forming at tny time during tbo period, iritbegius to bloom by the middle of Au gust there will ba time enough to mature in this latitude, and the growth of the tuber a ill ,he going ou during a peiiod when -llie tem perature ol tbe earlli win ue more roi ji iimi. and wben they will he most likely lo have sufficient moisture. One -of ihe LFgett crops bv ever made was iu a season which wa uunsutlly dry until a tine rain cojue on the IClh of September. With a markable flourishing growth of viiiet, there wat cot a tuber formed until this rain orcuried. Our experience w the tame iu tbe past year with a crop planted iu July and just out of the ground by tbe first of August. We uever wade a better crop.

Tl ashes cost 12$ cents a bushel, and potato sold at 35 cents, returning full 50 cents a ti shel for the ashes employed. u . .' .' . . tx. t t I J) c s How to Make Spruce Beer.
