Oar Yankee Girls.
BY O. W HOLMES.
Lei greener land a nd bluer skies,
If such the wide earth shows,
With fairer cheeks and br ighter eyes.
Match us the star the rose:
The winds that lift the Georgian veil.
Or wave Circassian curia.
Waft to the shores the sultan' tail;
Who beat the Yaukee girls?
The gay gritette, whose fingers touch
Love's thousand chords so well;
The dark Italian, loving much.
But more than one can tell,
And England's fair-haired, blue-eyed dame,
Who binds her brow with pearls;
Ye who have seen them, can they shame
Our own sweet Yankee girls?
And what if court or castle vaunt
Its children loftier born?
Who heed the silken tassels flaunt
Beside the golden corn?
They ask not for the dainty toil
Of ribboned knights and earls,
The daughters of the virgin soil.
Our freebor n Yankee girls!
But every hill whose stately pines
Wave their dark arms above.
The home where some (air being shines,
To warm the wild with love.
From barest rock to bleakest shore
Where farthest sail unfurls.
That stars and stripes are streaming o'er;
God bless our Yankee girls!
From the London Enquirer.
Who are the Rich?
Who are the rich? the favored few
Whose hands their dazzling treasures hold.
With luxury deck their balls, and strew
Their paths with gold?
No! for the wealth so proudly got.
Is borrowed all the fatal bound
May grant it to the grare, but not
An hour beyond.
They are tho rich whose treasures lie
In hearts, not bands in heaveu, not here;
Whose ways are marked by pilty's sigh,
And mercy's tear.
No borrowed wealth no failing store;
These treasures of the soul remain
Its own; and, when to lire is o'er,
To die is gain.
Who are the poor? the humble race
Who dwells where luxury never shone
Fercbance without one friendly face,
Save God's alone?
No! for the meek and lowly mind,
Still following where if a Saviour trod,
1 hitgh poor in all, may richly find
The peace of God.
They are the poor, the rich in ?old,J
Confiding in that faithless store,
Or tremble for the wealth they hold ,
Or thirst for more.
Whee bauds are fettered by its touch ,
Whose lips no generous duty plead;
Go, mourn their poverty, for tuca
Are poor, indeed!
A Character.
A Western man says he once saw in the
. V .....
ooutn one ot tne queerest blackies miagin
able. His face was so black that he
couldn't tell when it-was morning; his wool
curled so tight that it made him round
shouldered; his nose was so flat and grea
sy he had to put tar on his fingers when he
wanted to blow it; his shins were so sharp
he couldn't go through a cornfield without
splitting the stalks; and his heels were so
long, it was impossible for him to go down
hill without tying a couple of stones on
them for ballast? He died young, of mor
tification, which commenced in his legs, in
consequence of their being too crooked for
the blood to find its way up and down!
Practice. Madam, you said that your
eon was a physician. Has he mur h prac
tice. 1
Why, yes, sir; that is. he has nmrtiVo
ui oiiiuMug cigars.
Whose best works are most tramnlorl
upon? A shoemakers; because good shoes
last longer than bad ones.
A Modern Beauty. Blue eyes, sharp
iace aim a ioot that would cover the deck
I a yatch.
Wit. One of the first principles of
v..6UUU icmycr; us arrows oumt al
ways to be feathered with smiles. When
they fail in that, they become sarcasm.
So we Say. 'The Mechanic who is
ashamed of his apron, or the farmer who
is ashamed of his frock, is himself a shame
to his profession.
Pretty Fair. An exchange paper

The Russian Empire.
Its History to the Time of Pettr the Great .
Russia is the most extriordinary country
on the globe, in the four most important
particulars of empire its history,, its ex
tent, its population, and its power.
It has for Europe another interest the
interest of alarm, the evidence of an ambi
tion which has existed for a hundred and
fifty years, and has never paused; an in
crease of territory which has never suffer
ed the slightest casualty of fortune; the
most complete security against the retalia
tion of European war; and a government
at once despotic and popular; exhibiting
the most boundless authority in the sover
eign, and the most absolute submission in
the people; a mixture of habitual obedi
ence, and divine homage: the reverence to
a monarch, with almost the prostration to
a divinity.
Its history has another superb anomaly:
Russia gives the most memorable instan
ces in human annals, of the power which
lie within the mind of individual man.
reter the ureat was not the restorer, or
the reformer of Russia; he was its moral
creator. He fouud it, not as Augustas
found Rome, according to the old adage,
. w
brick, and left it marble:" he found it a
living swamp, and left it covered with the
lertility of laws, energy, and knowledge;
he found it Asiatic and left it European;
he removed it as far from ocythia as if he
had placed the diameter of the elobe be
tween; he found it not brick, but mire, and
he transformed a region of huts into the
magnificence of empire.
Russia first "appeared in European his
tory in the middle of the ninth century.
Its climate and its soil had till then retained
it in primitive barbarism. The sullenness
of its winter had prevented invasion by
civilized nations, and the nature of its soil,
one immense plain, had given full scope to
the roving habits of its half-famished tribes.
The great invasions which broke down
the Roman empire, had drained away the
population from the north, and left nothing
but remnants of clans behind.-Russia had
no sea, by which she might send her bold
savages to plunder or to trade with Sou
thern and Western Europe. And, while
the man of Scandanavia was subduing
kingdoms, or carrying back spoils to his
northern crags and lakes, the Russian re
mained, like the bears of his forest, in his
cavern during the long winter of his coun
try; and even when the summer came, was
still but a melancholy savage, living like
the bear upon the roots and fruits of his
ungenial soil.
It was to one of those Normans, who,
instead of steering his bark towards the
opulence of the south, turned his dreary
B . 1 . 1 . S
adventure to tne norm, that Kussia owed
her first connection with intelligent man
kind. The people of Novgorod, a people
of traders, finding themselves overpowered
by their barbarian neighbors, solicited the
aid ot Rune, a Baltic chieftan, and o
course a pirate and a robber. The name
of N orman had earned old renown in the
north. Ruric came, rescued the city, but
paiu nimseii Dy tne seizure oi tne sur
rounding territory, and found a
which he transmitted to his descendents
and which lasted until the middle of the
sixteenth century.
In the subsequent reign we see the ef
fect of the northern pupilage; an expedi
tion, in the style of the Baltic exploits, was
sent to plunder Uonstantinople. The ex
pedition consisted of two thousand canoes,
with eighty thousand men on board. The
expedition was defeated, for the Greeks
had not yet sunk into the degeneracy of
latter times. 1 hey lought stoutly for their
capitol, and roasted the pirates in their own
canoes, by showers of the famous "Greek
fire."
Those invasions, however, were tempt
ing to the idleness and poverty, or to the
avarice and ambition of the Russians; and
Constantinople continued to be the great
object of cupidity and assault, for three
hundred years. But the city of Constan
tinople was destined to fall to a mightier
conqueror.
Still, the northern barbarian had now
learned the road to Greece, and the inter
course was mutually beneficial. Greece
found daring allies in her old nlnnderprs.
and
in the eleventh century she gave the
Grand duke Valdimir a wife, in the person
of Anna, sister of the emperor Basil II., a
gift made more important by its being ac
companied by his conversion to Christian
ity. a settled succession is the great secret
of royal peace; but among those bold ri
ders of the desert, nothing was ever settled
save by the sword; and the first act of all
the sons, on the decease of their father,
was, to slaughter each other; until the
contest was settled in their grave, and the
last survivor quietly ascended the throne.
Uut war, on a mightier scale than the
Russian Steppes had ever witnessed, was
now rolling over Central Asia. The cav
alry of Genghiz Khan, with came, not in
squadrons, but in nations, and charged,
uoi ukc troops, but like thunderclouds,
began to pour down upon the valley of
the Wolga. Yet the conquest of Russia
was not to be added to the triumphs of the
great Tartar chieftian: a mightier conquest
stopped him on his way, and the Tartar
died.
II is son Tohusi, in the beginning of the
thirteenth century, burst over the frontier
at the head of a half a million of horse
men, ihe Russian nrinees. hastilv ma
king up their quarrels, :Mvanced to meet
the invader; bui their array was instantly
trampled down, and before the middle of
the century, all the provinces, and all the
cities of Russia, were the prey of the men
of the wilderness, Novgorod alone esca
ped.
I he history of tins great city would be
highly interesting, if it were possible now
to recover its aeiaus. xi was uie cui
depot of the northern Asiatic commerce
with Europe; it has a government, laws,
and privileges oi its own, witn wnicu n
suffered not even the Khan of the Tartars
to iuterfere. Its population amounted to
four hundred thousand then nearly equal
to the population of a kingdom. In the
hirteenth century it connected itself still
more effectively with European commerce,
by becoming a member of the Hanseatic
League; and the wonder ana pride oi me
Russians were expressed in the well Known
half profane proverb, "Who can resist
God. and the great ixovgoroar'
There is always eomeimng almost ap
proaching to picturesque grandeur in the
triumphs of barbarism. The Turk, until
he was fool enough to throw away the
turban, was the most showy personage in
the world. The Arabs, under Mahomet,
were the most stately warriors, and the
Spanish Moors threw all the pomp, and
even all the romance oi Jburope into tne
shade. Even the chiefs of the "Golden
Hords" seemed to have had as picturesque
a conception of the supremacy as the Sar
acen. Their only city was a vast camp,
in the plain between the Caspian and the
Wolga; and while they leu tne provinces
in the hands of the native princes, and en
joyed themselves in the manlier sports of
m 1. 1
hunting througn tne plains ana mountains,
they commanded that every vassal prince
should attend at the imperial tent to receive
permission to reign, or perhaps to live; and
that even, when they sent their Tartar
collectors to receive the tribute, the Rus
sian princes should lead the Tartar's horse
bv the bridle, and give him a leed ol oats
out of their cap of state:
But another of those sweeping devasta
j . -
tors, one of those gigantic executioners,
who seem to have been sent from time to
time to punish the horrible profligacies of
Asia, now rose upon the north. Timour
Khan, the Tamarlane of European story
the invincible, the lord of the Tartar world,
rushed with his countless troops upon the
sovereignties of Western Asia. This uni
versal conqueror crushed the Tartar dy
nasty of Russia,-and then burst away like
an inundation, to overwhelm other lands
But the native Russians again made head
against their 1 artar masters, and a centu
ry and a half of sanguinary warfare follow
ed, with various fortunes and without any
other result than blood.
In the fifteenth century Russia began to
assume a form. Ivan III. broke on the
vassalage of Russia to the 'Golden Horde.'
He had married Sophia, the niece of the
Greek Emoeror. to which we may attri
bute his civilization; and he received the
embassies of Germany, Venice, and Rome,
at Moscow. His son, Ivan IV., took Nov
frorod. which he ruined, and continued to
fight the Poles and Tartars until he died.
His son, Ivrn in the middle of the sixteenth
century, was crowned bv the title of Czar
formed the first standing army of Russia
named the Strelitzes, and established i
code of laws. In 1598, by the death o
thft Czar Feoder without children, the
male line of Ruric which had held the
throne for seven hundred and thirty-six
years, and under fifty -six sovereigns
be
came extinct.
Another dynasty of remarkable distinc
tion ascended the throne in the beginning
of the seventeenth century. Michael Rom
anoff, descended from the line of Ruric, by
the female side, was declared Czar. His
son Alexis was the father of Peter the
Great, who, with his brother Ivan, was
placed on the throne at the decease of their
father, but both under the guardianship of
the Princess was sent to a convent, Ivan
who was imbecile in mind and body, sur
rendered the throne, and Peter became sole
sovereign of Russia.
The accession of Peter began the last
and greatest period of Russian history.
Though a man ol herce passions ana oar

ception of the value of European arts,

Agricultural Science,
The time has gone by, when Agricul
tural Science was a subject of derision or
neglect by practical farmers. Every one
must rejoice to see the rapid advance
which it is making in the United States.
Its greater triumphs have been hitherto
in the old world, and especially in Eng
land, where it has made a garden spot of
the whole island, and enabled a mere
speck on the surface of the waters to sup
port an immense population. But even
in our own country it has achieved its
victories, for our farmers are every day
paying more attention to the principles
on which it devolves, and applying them
with great success in their cultivation of
the soil. This is particularly obsevrable
in some of the worn out lands of our own
State which have been made to renew
their youth, and though at one time as
poor as Job in his lowest estate, yet it
may now be said of them, as it was of the
afflicted patriarch, that their 'latter Jend is
better than their beginning. We have
the authority of one of the wisest practi
cal farmers of the State for the opinion,
that Virginia, by the advantages afforded
by practical agricultural science and the
enlightened and persevering employment
of them, is destined not only to repair her
waste places, but make them equal in fer
tility and beauty to the virgin reagions of
the Western States. Richmond (f a.)

Fall Transplant
lo-.
Mr. E. C. Frost, of the 'Highland nur
series,' Seneca Lake, New York, writes,
in the September number of the Albany
Cultivator on the subject of 'Fall Trans
planting to the following effect:
Persons of limited experience differ in
their opinions, as to the relative advan
tage of spring and fall tiansplanting trees
while the most experienced fruit growers
prefer the fall for all hardy kinds.
Some believe that the apple, pear, plum
&c, can be moved with the least injury in
the fall; while the peach and apricot will
succeed best in the sprinsr. Air. Downing
I says, in relation to the peach, North of
JN . 1 ork it is better always to make plan
tations in the spring. South of that limit,
it may usually be done with equal advan-
tage in
autumn.
My experience has confirmed me in the
opinion that in our latitude fall planting
for the peach is better than spring, if set on
dry ground, and they should be placed on
no other.
On the 5th 6h 8th and 9th of Novem
ber last, I set in the orchard one thousand
five hundred, worked on budded peach
trees; and now, on examining them, find
that all are alive but ten; the trees are
not only alive, but are making a good
growth, so that the rows can be seen half
a mile.
I have six hundred peach trees, which
have been in the orchard from three to five
years, the most of which were transplanted
in the fall, with success equal to those set
last autumn.
The manner of preparing the ground and
treatment of those set last fall, has been
as follows:
The field was sowed to buckwheat last
season; after that was harvested, straight
furrows were plowed one rod apart, then
furrows were run the other way the same
distance, where the furrows crossed each
other was a mark for a tree, and the plow
ing assisted in digging the holes. The
roots were set no deeper than the plow
run; th"y were hilled up a little more than
would be required for spring planting.
Early in the spring they were examined
to see whether all had kept their position,
and if Ihe frost had started any during the
winter they were attended to. About the
middle of June each row was plowed, the
the same as a row of corn, with a two
horse team, having a short whiffletree for
the offside horse; two men followed the
plow, and hoed each tree.
The ground has since been plowed
clean and sowed to buckwheat, but
none allowed to grow within two feet of
the trees.
This field occupies a high and bleak po
sition; front being a level eminence, the
balance sloping north and west.
