T Longfellow thus happily describes the gradual coming on of its shadows: blues Iv, slowly up the wall .Steals the sunshine, steals the shade, E. euiug damps begin to fall, Evening shadows are displayed. Round me, o'er me, everywhere, All the sky is grand with clouds, And Athwart the evening air, Wheel the swallows horite in crowds Shafts of sunshine from the west, Paint the dusky windows red, Darker shadows, deeper rest, Underneath and overhead. Deeper, daxkir, and more wan, In my breast the shadows fall ; tpward steals the life of man, As the sunshine from the wall.

At the foot of Yho boll-tower of tho Kremlin stands, on a granite pedestal, the Tzar Eolokol, or Em peror of Bells, whose renown is world-wide. It was cast by order of the Empress A.nne,1730, but was broken seven years afterwards, through the burning of the wooden tower in it hung. It is a little over 31 feet in height, 22 feet in 'diameter at the bot tom, 121 tons, and the estimated value of the gold, silver, and copper contained in it, is 1,500,000 dole. In one of the lower stories of the tower hangs another bell, cast more than a eet,tury before the Tsar Kolokol, and weighing 64 tons. Its iron tongue is swung from side to side by the united exertions of three men. It is only rung thrice a year, and when it speaks all other bells are silent. To those who stand near the tower, the vibration el the air is said to be like that which fol lows the simultaneous discharge of a hundred cannon. In the other stories hang at least forty or fifty bells, vary ing in weight from 86 tons to 1,000 Ms.; some of them are one-third silver.— When they all sound at once, as on Easter morn, the very tower must rock on its foundation. In those parts of Russia where the Eastern Church is predominent, no other sect is allowed .to !Assess bells. The sound of the bells isa pait of the set of worship, and there fore no heterodox tongue, though of iron, must be permitted to preach false doctrines to half the clty.—Bayard Taylor in Moscow. • tairTbereare signs of war in Europe.

The reader is expected to believe the following story in every particular : When a young man, I was traveling in western New York, and late of a stormy night applied at a log cabin for lodging. Tho occupant, a woman, re fused it, saying her husband and sons were out hunting, and if they found me there would murder me. f preferred the chance to the storm, and she con sented that I might lie down before tile fire. In the night I heard them coming and scrambled up the chimney. Think ing I was safe, when at the top, I stepped over the roof, and, jumping down at the back of t-lie cabin, struck plump into a wolf-trap. A scream of pain from me brought the men and boys out, and they declared I deserved a Muck more severe punishment than death ; so they kept too both in the trap and suspense until morning, and then heading nm up in a hogshead, with no light or air, but the bung-hole, they putting mu on a sled, drove mo some four miles up a hill, and then rolled me off to starve. This I undoubtedly should have done, hut for a very singu lar oecurrenee. The wolves smelled •me out and gathered around my prison, when ono of them, in turning around, happened to thrust Ilk tail into the bung-hole. It was my only chance.— I caught a firm hold, and held on like death to a negro, which frightened the wolf, of course, and he started down the hill followed by the hogshead and inc. It, was a very uneasy ride over the stones and stumps ; but I had no idea how long it was, until the hogs head striking a stone fairly, the staves, worn by long travel, were broken in, and. I jumped out and found myself way down in the lower end of Cattarau gus county, some thirty miles from the scene of disaster. = hinnertit Plea...ure.e. —The Rev.

"'Exactly so, gents, and you may as well keep your seats and tin." " Don't they expect passengers to breakfast ?" " Oh, yes ! they expect you to it, but not to eat it. lam under the impres sion that there is an understanding be tween the landlord' and the driver, that for sundry and various drinks, &e., the latter starts before you can scarcely commence eating."

My location is in 'the set tretne Northern pare of the State, In latitude 881 doge. north. The soil strorrg, calcareous uplands, dry and very productive: ' I sent to Nash-ville, Tenn., for three bashe.s of "Early May Wheat" for the experiment, •and sowed it on-a hemp stubble, Sept. 15. Nashville 4s iw latitude 361 degs. south, of my kicaticm, The experiment was a decided success, my wheat ripening June .14—just two iv ceks in advance ofour acelimatetvevi eties, and free from all diseases--straw as bright as gold—and surrounded by rust of worst character in all the later ripening kinds. And this early ripening continues to the present time; This year 250 acres were grown from this beginning, and all yet free from disease, weighs this year 63 lbs, per bullet, when all the later kinds, from the ef fects of rust, weigh from 54 to 571bei.=-- much shriveled and unmerchantable.— The entire crop of 250 acres has been sold for seed in this country, and is now well desseininated. All efforts to ripen our wheat early by sending north for seed, have signally failed in actual ex periment and always will fail. The ri pening of the crop in any given latitude can be hastened by sowing seed from a more southern latitude. I have remove'd as early wheat 2i dogs. farther north, which would take it up to about tbo latitude of the lino between New York and Pennsylvania. For me to earths - % it would succeed if taken there would only be _a theory. The proper way would be to test it. If tested, I'ShAll not fear the result. NO. 19. Now for the Indian corn. Last yonr our farmers suffered severely from sot% corn, owing to the late ripening and early frost. Opposing theories prevail ed. Says A., if wo want, to ripen oar corn earlier, we must send. north for seed. Says B. w must send s.L outh.— And conseque n tly tly . A. sent to New Jer sey and purchased the 8-rowed yellow" and 13. sent, to Nashville and got the southern gourd. These northern and southern varieties were cultivated side by side in this latitude th 4 present year. The northern pro If the earliest ripener, being in good feeding order by the 15th of August. Tho south ern proved a very late ripener; thusja praettep proving the reverse of the wheat experiment, and demonstrltlng that for early ripening of Indian ll o rn in any given latitude, the growernidat, go further north. Bed Chaff Mediterranean. -A corral'. pondent of the Ohio Cultivator, says:A new variety of wheat of this nams t ,is attracting much attention in Chester county, Pa. it was first noticed anlosg the common Mediterranean, as Whir, standing up better, and the heads well fillod. A few heads were sown at first; it has now become quito common sad ranch in furor with farmers. The writer sowed two bushels last fall beside some white wheat—the difference can be seen as far as the field can. Both were sown at the same time, but the now wheat looks as though sow; a month earlier. A Batch of Bcoatota.
