I pine for the woods--for the grand old woods,
With their aisles so cool and dim,
Where the wandering Spirit of the Wind
Chants her solemn, reverent hymn.
The sky is bright which bends above
•
Those Prairies green and fair,
And soft as the breath of*. sleeping child,
Is the breath of the scented sir.
•
But no green woods look up to the sky
In strength and grandeur and pride,
Breaking the drear monotony
Of the prairies, stretching wide.
The summer min shines clear and bright,
But the brilliant golden beams
Steel not through the twining branches' screen,
In softly waving gleams.
And there are birds on those billowy plains,
But far less sweet b their song,
Than w hen it chimes with the woodland hymn,
sw m ping in power along.
The summer vrinds as they wander o'er
These treeless solitudes,
Wake not such an anthem of harmony
As rolls through the sounding woods
Then giro me the woods—the grand old woods
With their aisles so cool itnd dint,
,Where the wandering Spirit of the Wind,
Chants her solemn, reverent hymn.

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.
From the wall into the sky,
From the roof along the spire;
.Ah I the souls of those that die,
Are but sunbeams lifted higher

The Emperor of Bella.
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

A Story ss is a Story.
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.

find secret vices, malignant sins,

horrid critnes springing up in this hot

moral gratification, anywhere and in

TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR
How "Hes" Got Even With The
Landlord.
A TANKEP. TRICK
In a evict little Ohio village, many
years ago, was a tavern where the sta
ges always changed, and the passen
gers expected to get breakfast. The
landlord - of the said hotel was noted for
his tricks upon travelers, who wore al
lowed to got fairly seated at the table,
when tho driver would blow his born,
(after taking his " horns,") and sing
out, "Stage ready, gentlemen 1" where.
upon the passengers were obliged to
hurry out and take their seats, leaving
a scarcely tasted breakfast behind them,
for which, however, they bad to fork
over fifty cents Ono day, when the
stage was approaching the house of
this obliging landlord, a passdnger said
that he had (Ara heard of the landlord's
tricks, and be was afraid they would
not he able to eat any breakfast. •
" What !—how T No breakfast ?"
exclaimed the rest.
"'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."
" What on airth are you all talkin'
about? Ef you calkelato I'm goin' to
pay four-and-nine-pence for my break
fast, and not got the value on't, yore
wistakin," said a voice from a back'
scat, the owner of which was one fez
ekiali 'Sparkling—though " taw hum"
they call bim " fez" for short. "I'm
goiia' to get my breakfast here, and not
pay nary red cent till I do."
" Tiir you'll be left."
" Not 118 you knows on, I won't !"
Wett,,we'll see," said the other, as
the stage'drove up to the door, and the
landlord, ready " to do the hospitable,"
says :
Breakfutjast ready, gents ! Take
a wash, gents ? Here's water, basins,
towels; and soap."
After performing their ablutions,
they all proceeded to the dining-rocith,-
and commenced a fierce onslaught upon
the edibles, though Ilea took his time.
Scarcely had they tasted their coffee,
when they hoard the u6welcome sound
of' the hfirn, and the driver .exclaint
" Stage ready 1" Up rise eight grum
bling passengers, pay their fifty cents,
and take their seats.
"Ali. on board, gents?" inquired the
host.
" One missing," said they.
Procieeding to the dinning-room, tho
host finds Lies very cooly helping him
self to. an immense piece of steak, the
" size of a horse's hip."
" be left, sir I Stage going to
start!"
" Wall, I hain't got nothin' to Bay
agin drawls out Ilez.
" Can't wait, sir—better take your
seat."
" I'll be gill-darnod efl dew, nother,
till I've got my breakfast 1 I paid for
it, and I'm goin' to get the rano on't
and of Ton ealkelate I ain't yon are
mistaken."
So the stage did start, and loft:ilez,
who continued his attack upon the edi
bles. Buscuitis, coffee, &c., dit,appear-ed before the eyes of the astontabed
landlord.
"Say, 'Squire, them there cakes is
'boat eat--fotch on another grist on
'cm. 'too, (to the waiter,) 'notber
cup of that ere coffee. Pass them or gs.
Raise your own pork, 'Squire? This
is 'mazin' nice ham. Land 'bout toler
able cheap, 'Squire? Hain% much ma
ple Umber in these parts, hey ye r Dew
right smart trade, 'Squire, I calkelat e ?
Don't lay your own eggs, dew ye ?" and
thus kept quizzing the landlord until be
made a hearty meal.
"Say, 'Squire, I'm now 'boat to con
chide paying my devowen to this ere
table, but just give us a bowl of bread
and milk to top off with. I'd be much
oblcegod tew ye."
So oat goes the landlord and waiter
for the bowl, milk, and bread, and soon
sets the= before him.
"Spoon, tow, of yon please."
But no spoon could be found. Land
lord was sure ho had plenty of silver
ones lying on the table when the stage
stopped.
"Say, dew ye' dew ye think them
passengers is gain' to pay ye for a
breakfuss and nut git no compeasathun."
" Ali ! what ? Do you think any of
the passengers took them '?"
" Dew I think I No I don't think,
but I'm earth). Ef they are all us green
as yew 'bout here, I'm going to Locate
immediately, and two at wonst."
The landlord rushes ont to the stable,
and starts a man off after the stage,
which had gone about three miles.—
The man overtakes the stage, and says
tiotnetht ng to the driver in a low tone.—
lle immediately turns back, and on ar
living at the hotel, Ilez comes out,
takes his seat, and says,
How are yew, gents? I'm rotted
glad to see yew."
" Can you point out the man you
think has the spoons r asked the land
lord.
" Pint him out? Sartinly I ken.—•
Say, 'Squire, I paid you four-and-nine
pence for a breakfuse., and I oalkelate,

spoons in the coffee-pot."
"Go ahead! All aboard, driver."

man his exporianos, as follows.:
In August, 1814,i determined %oilman,
an effort to ripen my wheat crop in
time to escape rust, the most filial dis
ease to our wheat in this section of
Kentucky. 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.

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.
