• The pen of the poet, and the pencill of tbe
artist have in all ages gatheted eagerly from
the sun set west the material for some of their
most exquisite creations. The beauty loving,
imaginative:eye never tires of Its oft-recurring
and gorgeous Scenes,' biat 'always turns with
perennial pleasure to the halo of glory which
the departing king of day throws around'him
as the drapery of his. couch. A new poet,
Alexander Smith, has been discovered iu Glas
gow. One of his peculiarities is a passion for
describing sunsets, which' lie does with,, no lit
tle originality. We give tho following sp,eol
mess, for which we acknowledge indebtedness'
to the Bizarre:'
"The sun Is dying like n clovrn king
In hie own blood; tile while the distant moon,
Liken pale prophetess, whom he hne wronged.,
Leans eager forward, with nlib.t hungry eyes,
Watching him bleed to death, and, on he faints,
She brightens and dilaters; revenge complete,
She walks In lonely' tritimph through the night."
• '•
'Twos at the close of n long 'minter day,
As we were sitting on yon gravy slope, ,
The sunset hung before us liken dream
That shakes a demon in hlssfierY lair;
The clouds were standing round the setting sun '
Like gaping dives, fantastic pinnacles, .
Candela thobbing In theicown fierce light,
Tall epires that mime and went like smelt of flame,
Clink quiveting with fire, snow, end peaks
Of piled gorgeousness, end rocks of lire
A-illt and poised, hare beeches, crimson seas,
All Mane were huddled in that dreadful went,
All shook and trembled In uneleatitast light,
And from IN: centre blazed the ongrystisii
Stern as the unlat-hrd'eye Of God a-glare
O'er evening city with its boom orate.
I remember as we Journeyed home,
- (That dreadful sunset - burnt into our braine,)- -
With what a soothing came the nakttl moon.
She,nike a swimmer who has found Me ground,
Canto-rippling up n silver strand of Cloud.
And plunged from the other side into flight."
• 111. • • • • •
Sunset Is burning like the seal of God '
Upon the cline of day. This very hour
Nicht moittata her chotiot in the eastern glonms
To chase the flying Sun, whose flight has left
Footprint's of glory in the clouded west:
Swift in she wafted by winged swimming steed.,
Whose cloudy maims ire wet with heavy dews,
Anddews_ore drizzling_from-heechark t wheels.
Soft in her lop lls drowsy-'added Sleep,
Brain flail ofdreams, as summer have with bees;
And round her In the pate andaipnetral Ilgist
Flock tints and gristly owlk.en noisefeanwings.
The flying sun goes down the burning went,
Vast night comes noiseless op the eastern slope,
And ear , the eternal chase goes round the world.
Unrest I unrest! The passion• p nnting sea
Watches the unveiled beauty of the store
Liken great hungry soul. .The unquiet clouds -
Break and dissolve, then gather in a mace,
And float like inightriceberge through the blue.
Suitmere,like blushes, sweep the (scoot:earth:: -
Maven yearns in stars. 'Down comes the frantic.
We bear the weiliaf the remorseless winds
In theirntrange'penante. And this wretched orb
KtIONVIS not the taste of rest ; a maniac World. - •
ilomelecs and sobbing through the deep she goes.'

Blanchard & Lea, we copy the following:

Daniel Webster once saicbto me.'
' Squire,' sale I, once arter he had made
one of his almighty speeches to the Supremo
Court to Washington, Squire,' Bahl, that
was splendid! I felt prouder of New England,'•
anis this blessed, day, than ever I felt be
fore since I wets-iiiiiied.'
Well, I reckon it warn't bad,' said ho. ,
'Truth is, as you rirn't'a lawyer, I'll te , l you
the secret of my success at the bar ; I require
. a good swinging fee, and wont work without
it. I wont look at a client's face until I see
his hand.,. : „4, : good horse that works well, e

Whatever ie worth doing at all is worth doing
well. -But, Sam, it ain't no easy matter ar
guin' law bo:oro them oil judges. It must be
all to the point, clear, logical, connected, and
'ably supported by well- selected cases. Ycu
musn't wander away, and you tousn't declaim;
if you do their attention is off, the public see
it, and you-are up a tree. •
Now that's not the case in Congress; the
less you speak to the point there, 'the better,
and the less you are trammelled s and hampered
in life afterwards. A few forcible passages
thrown out for people to get, by heart, and ad
mire as scraps of eloquence, a'strong patriotic
flourish now and then about keepin' the na
tions of the nirth'in order, and eo on, a flash
or two to light up the dullno'es and a peel of
thunder to end , it with, is all that's wanted:

the dpor fiy open, though it was a miter's

hand, and• long experienee. NoW, ono thing
I have observed abOuk soft sawder for men.
Never flatter a man for what he exec's in';
for he knows that as well as yOut but linter
him for something , he wishes to bo thought'
expert in, that he can't do well.' , •
Hew very true l' said Lord .I' . f.ortort, : a
in

bitious to be thought irresistible . by.vimeen—
which he ie not—than a great statesman and
diplomatist—which be certainly is. You have
a wonderfUl knowledge of human nature, Mr.
Slick.'
'I couldn't dol'ivithout it, my Lord., To
handle o ship yOu must know tho ropes.
Well, whero wan I? Oh! in:tho little back
private room to Washington, a little back par
lor to Washington, a drinkin' and talkin' to
Dana Webstei. Now,' sale I, 'Squire Dane!,
there are two kinds of soft.saWder; ono is
active,, and ono is passive.'
How 7' said ho.
Why,' anis hero is , a ease In pint Uf:the
active. We had to our house a female help ;
she was an Irish gal, and ugly enough ,to
frighten children from crying, and to turn the
milk of a whole dairy. Well, she linnet very
tidy, and'mother spoke to hor, several times
about it ; but it did no good, she was as slat:
ternly as over next day; and mother was goin'
to give her a walkia' ticket. So, thinks Ito
myself, I wonder if there is a created critter
so ugly as not to think herself decent•looking
at anyrate.
sais I, Nora, I am surprised at
you.'
' • What for, your honor, Meister Sam,' said
anis I, lam sutprised that such
a nice, fresh, healthy, good lookin' girl as you
be, don't take better care of your appearance.'
I saw her eyes twinkle again with pleasure.,
'Not,' anis I. that your good looks wants set
tin' (1(1;6a-they -ought to have justice done to
them. I hate to see so handsome a gal, look
•
so ontidy.'
.! I own it's wrong,' sais she ; and it shan't
happen again;' and from that day forth she
was the tidiest and smartest-gel—we. over. had.
Thie is active soft-sawder ; and now what
I call passive soft-savrder is thise—deference.
Instance; if you want to gain a man, don't
know more than him; it,bumilintes a fellow
to be made inferior to the ono he is a talkin'
to. If be lentils advice, that's another thing.
Give it to him; but don't put him right in his
stories when he's adrift,.thet'stmortifyin'; and'
don't make any display about before him atoll.
Get him to teach you, Tor every bOdy knows
something - dies - x ee, near
mae; eitt i hirntt talkin about nets .and bait,
; and so on. If ho lives
in the.:vroodeOuik him bow maple auger is
made; what is the best iseßbon'of the year to
out timber, so as to preaerve it; and if ho:
don't know.nothin' of those things, set him to'
tell huntin' stories, and legends of the woods:
Yea will win that man's heart; for instead of
oppressing him with your' superleitti; you
have made him feel that he is able to giv,e ,a
Wrinkle to one that he is willin' enough to no
'knowledge to be his superior. You will win .
that man forever; for-you have given him the
upper• seat instead of the second, and made
him feel good all over.
4 The fact 19,WETUi went to travel in Eu
rope, and learnt manners, I found politeness
had a great deal of soft sawder in it, but
among the folks we have to "'deal with, you
might take off yOur hat Einar() and serape your
leg behind to all eternity before you'd come
to the 'point. But I'm only* otoppice your
story.'
~,
. No you don't,' said be, , I like to hear yoh;
your experjenco jumps with - mine., 'As a law
yer and a politician, I have had to mix much
with my fellow Men, and in course have stud
ied a good. deal of human natur', too-L-.for law

and disburden themselves nod get consolation,
if they pay well for it; but there is one point

.
I was in'levedeeply, passionaielyjn love.
It was my first piLingo,'aiptit-vms: it deep

-.I was 'not rich in this irorld's goods ;' my
Mamie was inconveniently limited; but I:was
rich iii . bope; Like Mr. Miceirber, I felt 'con
fident that "-something would turn up," and
in anticipation of 'this something, I determined,
on thelirst oppOrtunity, to propose to 'the ob.
ject:of_My
.adoration; that site should shimi
with - me in the- enjoyment of my 'expected
good fortune.
,
The*Opportnnity at length offered itself.
It Was aColdfrosty evening That I brushed
my carefelly. ireeerred dress coat, and par
ticularly tight nnwhispirables," and then
gently dusted my hat . with'my own handker
chief.
‘ I then studimiMY appearance in the cracked

my. vest Collar, and. twitching' my neck

around in order to i3onieltiAlinfact that I wore
thist much rididuled iliele of attire--a dickey:

difficulty abouktho payment . f. some' washing
mosey--allegemoneyallegea, to , bo'hor due—she had for
the hat fortnight kept my other shirt-as a
';) . ledge "for future payment; so I was fain to
hide the dubious hue of my linen under the
eforcsitid dickey.
At iength I was satisfied as to the integrity
of my briast-werk, so .gently stroking. my.
moustache, pprobased a few.-days'previously
at a hair dresser's; I strutted out to meet my .
Amanda. . ; •
On-that very rkight , r btkd determined te's. , do

she was there, awaiting me, and 'with a
sinking at my heart I hod never before expo ,
rimmed, I offered her arm. As we strolled
along, -- I - east about - Wray mind - forlailans
to declare my love to her; but as often as the
words ,came to my mouth, I "gulped" and.
swallovied them, once or twice nearly strang
ling myself with . the attempt.
At last, just as I hid - almost , deCided.on

postponing it to some other time, she stopped

speech I had
all over very meth visit' I woe o eoufeended

Yon certainly must be sick," persisted
Amanda.
Tho fact is ? "' I said with desperate ever
gy, "that I—l—l /Otis you I" '
I felt now as if I' was still a geese, but wilb
the addeilsensation of roasting before a very
hot fire. Finding that she made no reply, I
determined - to - go - through It if I lest mylife
in the attempt. •
4 Yes, my dearest Amanda' Louisa—l love
you passionately—devotedly." ~I was about
dropping on ono knee, but a reflection on the
tightness of my dress, at that point, deterred
me. "Without ' , Um' blessed society I should
die. Shall I have the—can I hope that—you
win 'he minet" •
As with rt . lingo effort I jerked ,forth the
artful question..felt as if !had beeaplunied
into an Icy bath, and that the cold liquid was
running through me, from the top of my heed
to the toes of my boots. It was the decisive
g. splurge " of my life—And it almost deprived
me of my breath.
Amanda Louisa blushed, and leaned rather
heavily on my hrut. At length she whispered
that she would see to-morrow."
The ice being now , broken, my old boldness
returned, together with my confidence in the
future. I rattled, away where we would get a
first rite house'; speculated on the advieability
of keeping a carriage; promised,- Amanda an

FRUIT. CULTURE.
The cultivation of fruits has received more
attention for five years pest than it had for a
• whole century previous'. I. am glad the atten
tion of the farmer is directed to this important
aubjeot, for there is no department of rural
economy that beings along with it moro com
fort, and as much profit, with the same amount
of -labor expended, as this when rightly
attended to. . • -
Flaying some experience in fruit culture,. I
here drop a few hints upon the subject, Cape ! .
chilly pruning, transplanting and vatting.
Pruning has an important bearing to the 'well
being of the tree. Some thinl,Spring the best

But whenever you see a limb interfering with
others,cutit away; keep the top free and
open; endeavor to'give the side branches a

THE . RIIDIAN ar.coniNim.
In the 'course of nu address to the Machin.

fessor Henry, its President, in epeaking 'on
the subject of motive power, be said:
" The Illittum body is itself an admirably
contrived °imply* mediae, furnished With
levers, pulleys, cord's, valves and other appli=
anees ftir the application and modification of
the power derlied from the, food. It is in
facia locomotive engine,lmpilted by the same
power. which, _ander another; form, given
nativity and energy to the iron horse of the
railway. In both, the polver is derived from
the comboetton of the ;Arbon and hydrogen
of the' organic matter employed. for food or
fuel. In both,the direction of pervade uncler
the direction of an immaterial, thinking., wii
ltng oalled the soul. But this'must
not bo confounded, as it frequently is, with
the motive power. The soul, of the man no
more. moves the body, than the soul of the
engineer moves the locomotive, and its attend•
ant train of oars. In both oases the soul In
the direeting,. controlling _principle, not the
propelling power. : Let, for;exeraple, *loco
motive engine be placed upon the trook,, with
water in the boiler and fire -In the, grate, in
short, with all the poteritias,of.modon audit
'will still remain quiescent, In this state let
the engineer enter and touch the valve; the
machine instantly becomes instinct with life
and volition; it has now a soul to goiern its
power and direot its operations; and,„indeed,
as a whole, it may be considered as an enor
mous animal, of which the wheals and other
parts are additionelto the body of the ail-
neer."
A remise should be given with (tendon and
`kept ivitb, - ,oare. A promiee should be made
by the heart and remembered by the head. A
promise is the offspring of the intention, and
should be fluttered by the recollection. A
promiee'and ifir_performanos' should,. like the
scales of a true balonoe , always present a mu:
lust adjustment. - A promise delayed is justice
deferred A proideo neglected is an untruth
told. A promise attended to is a debt settled.
