Already the merry youngiters are look ing ahead and anticipating the pleasures that will crown the festive Christmas sea son and the ""hippy New Yeer ?" And their's is a joy to be envied indeed. Well do we remember. when a lighthearted.care- Iless boy, before life had put on its realities, how we gave vent to the exuberance of our spirits in the exclamation—" Only three weeks to Christmas!" And we remember too, with what anxiety we retiredto bed the i night before, to dream of good St. Nick, and to awake in the morning, happier in the poi'- ) session of a pocketful of cakes, than the man who can count his dollars by the mil ! lion, or who owns the soil as far as his eves can see.

At the end of the week Mr. Tinker's turkey came along that way, and crowding the hen otf her nest, took the business of incubation under her own wings. Being more "on hir muscle " than the hen, she maintained her position until a brood of chickens stepped out of the Alien and peeped. The turkey then took the chickens in tow, and return ed to her own and Mr. Tinker's residence. Mr. Church brought an action of trover for the chicken.. claiming them on the ground that his hen Laid the eggs and did the best art of the setting.

The Estate of Stephen Girard.—A hill has been filed in the United States Court at Philadelphia by parties who are subjects of the French Emperor, for the recovery of all the Girard estates. except that which is necessary for the maintenance of the college. The bill, says the Ledger, fills forty-nine closely printed page', and will commence perhaps a lonf oarree of litigation. The grounds' on which the recovery is based are: Ist, that. the present city of Philadelphia cannot legally execute the provisions of Stephen Girard's will ; and 2d, the estate, by reason of mismanagement, has dirninigh psi in extent, referring to the loss of the 'Louisiana lands and the non-productiveneas of those in Kentucky.

There cannot have been much more than 700 or 800 men, if .0 in my, in Spoleto, while the attacking force was at least 15,tion or 2 11 ,- 000 men. A council was held, and of course, instantaneous sw -nder was proposed by Wale as the moat course in the face of Poch odds. O'Reilly, at least for the Irish in the garrison (two companies, 260 men,) utterly declined to he a party to any auch proeneding, and declared that the man w ho scald take upon himself to even announce such astep to his men would run the peril of his life. The council, I can gather, was stoically distracted on the point of capit ulation or no capitulation, but ultimately an express was sent off to ilome, to the min 'late.? of war. anneuncing that it was resolt ed to defend the town a s best they could, and that eome what tiiitrht the Irish companies were resolved to hold Chi. citadel till the courier returned, or blow it into fragments. In the men-ninis the Irish, at dawn. went to mass and I believe io cry individual man among them approve bed if my Communion. In an hour or two afterwards they Vl ere call ed upon to meet the foe. Tlo. Sardinians poured in throusdi two of the chief streets, attempting at first nothins of a cannonade, and evidently conthient of etuTying the place against such a mere handful of men at the bayonet's point. They reckoned rattily.— For hours they a i'rt. held at bay. Little, of course, could be done in the streets, by such a small body against 10,000 or 12,000 men; and, at last, pressed on every point, Ojleilly threw himself into the citadel to make the last stand for life or death—for death alone, I might say—for when the out er gate crashed to. as the last wounded but undaunted defender passed into the quad rangle, there was not a man in all the little band who did not fuel that he had taken his stand to die. They threw themselves upon the walls, and from the tattered loop holes rained "the leaden hail" with deadlysl eff.s.t upon the besiegers. But those old walls proved miserable defences, and the enemy, after a brief but deadly struggle of the kind, soon, with cries that rent the air, clashed at the old gate. A crash, a roar— & petard blows it iuto fragments. Then the struggle oommenced indeed. In poured the besiegers into the outer yard, which I should attention does not appear to belong to the citadel proper. llowever, a bloody recep tion met them there. The Irish had two gun.. loaded with grape, planted inside in a position commanding the entrance, and no sooner was the Piedmontese column seen through the smoke of the gateway than a murderous fire was opened, mowing them down literally like corn before the sickle. Again, again, again the besiegers dashed through the gate: again, again and again a Perfect hail of graperhot front the two pieces in the rani. and initsketry from the citadel walls behind , met them from the Irish in side; while shouts that would stir mane si heart at home. in Ireland, plainly told diet the brave fellows felt but too well the honor of Ireland was on the awful 'oaken( theday. It was mid day, the outer yard wax still unearriecl. and the citadel itself behind un touched, but all this was not fated to hut much longer. The Peidmon tense brought up apiece or two themselves, and after the first discharge poured en amass through the gate. Ufy'nformant asserts that of the heroic Irish men who fought those guns inside not one man (steeped. Sulwequently O'Reilly and hill men. after further desperate res. istenee,, surrendered themselves as prisoners of war.

' Wife versus Lady It is certainly not in good taste fora gen tleman to speak of las wife as his lady, or to register their namos upon the books of a hotel as "John Smith and lady." or to ask a friend, "How is your lady?" This is all fashionable vulgarity, and invariably bet trays a lack of cultivation. The teen wife is far more beautiful and appropriate and refined. whatever may be said to the con trary. Suppose a lady were to say. instead of "my husband." "my gentlemen." or sup pose we were to speak of •• Mrs. Fitz Maurice and her gentleman." The thing would be positively ludicrous, and its obverse is none the less so, if rightly considered. A man's wife is his wife, and not his lady. We mar- Tel that this latter term is not utterly tabooed, in suoh a connection, at least by educated and intelligent people. It ought to be loft for the exclusive use of the cod fish aristocracy. b Many a glorious speculation has fail ed for the same good reasiott that the old American Ranger gave when ho was asked why he didn't buy land when it was dog cheap.

A little girl entered the barroom and in pitiful tones told the keeper that her mother had sent her there to get etght cents. "Eight coots:" said the keeper. " Yes, sir." " What does your mother want with eight cents ? I don't owe her anything." "Well," said the child, "father spends all his money here for rum, and we hare had tibthing to est to-day.

Ens. GENESIP: FARW :-T perceive from the remarks of N. S. N., in July number the Famter, that the mooted miegtion of Whether wheat for early ripening should be bmught from the North or South," is yet uniwttled. Near the city of Edinburgh, in Scotland, is a tract of laud cultivated by intellizent, scientific farmers. These practical !ben, every two or three years, import their seed wheat from the London market, three or four hundred miles south of them, and it pays well, as they gain tno weeks or more in that cool, dripping climate—where I re collect the papers stating. one wet season, they had not ben able to gather their oats yet in December. For corn, the very reverse of this should be the rule, If it is important to have corn to ripen early, bring it from the North, where it must mature early or be caught by the frosts. I have raised corn. Gourd. seed, from the rich Miami bottoms near Cincin nati : it grew large and very promising. but ita habit of late ripening exposed it to frost in the last of September, and but few hound ears could be found in a ten-acre field. Mansfield, 0. c. r. Lime and Wheat. George 11. Chase, ,in enterprising young farmer of Union Strings, N. V., has tried an experiment the pre , ent laCittioll with salt, ashes, and lime, on wheat. An acre each Was selected for the three experiments.— About two barrels of salt were applied to one, two two-horse loads of ashes to a second. and a hundred bushels of lime to the third acre. The Jesuit has not been measured as Tet, bat the e ff ects of each are very visible. he salt proved least useful ; the ashes lion so: and the lime most so of all. The line of superiority marking the hound.tries of the limed portion w as distinct us a line fence. The intzawo of theerop by liming, ever the portions not dressed with any thing, is at least ten bushels per acre. The question occurs whether a smaller quantity of lime would not have produced ao eqv,ot result. This will receive the te,t of another trial: The laud is a strong or clayey loam : and, what is worthy of notice, it la ht the midst of a limestone region, where the country is underlaid by rocks of the eorniferous limestone, which is abundantly scattered over the surface. But acids do not show carbonate of lime in the surface soir.—(bustry Gootlentan. rattraing Cattle upon Hay. Speaking upon thi. subject. a committee of tho 51assacliusetts Board itif Agriculture, remarks: Fattening cattle in winter upon hay stone is a resort of many farmer:, and where hay is plenty and distant from market, the prae tice is not inconsistent with economy. If well attended, good animals consuming four per cent. of their live weight of good hay daily, will gain daily oso pounds of flesh. Suppose the flesh gained to be worth sixteen cents, it - will be equal to zi , S per tun for the hay. The better practice. however, is to give only three per cent. of the lire we;ght of the smimal in hay daily, and an equivalent for the other one per cent. in Indian or roots. Th e gain would be greater for the same cost of food. Another remark worth quoting is tlio fol lowing: "The he-.t age for feeding cattle for btikf to from four to eight yeark. Young growing cattle may be fattened. but it will require more food in proportion, and longer time." Twelve Years. The Opposition have been "nut in the eold" a long weary time.

Arypit. Letter from Gov. Letcher, of Va., to A Pennsylvanian. James 11. Brisbane. of Pa., a few dart Niro wrote a letter to Gov. ',etcher, of Vt., -ridi culing the threatened secession at the gopth and savinst that as two hundred Virginians hal offered to place themselves under his (Brisbane's) command to march against the 'weeding States, he was at the service of Governor I,otcher. - The hitter, in his reply, expvesses his surprise at receiving nut+ a let ter administers a calm and just rebuke to Northern nulification, and shows that dere liction of duty on the part of the North has been the prime cause of all the present tron ides. He advises his correspondent, and all other Northern men, to cca.e their taunts of the South—to correct public sentintetl m at hoe—to discliarge their constitutibna duties, and the% will find no cause of com plaint against the South. IA reference, to the offer of Virginians to Serve against the South, under a Pennsylvania commander, Gov. Letcher says: Virginian+ owe allegiance to t is common wealth. and T have too much respect for my fellow-citizens of all Ixtrties to .soppose that "two hundred" of them in any part of tilt.
