    Do you really think he did?
I waited till tho twilight.
And yet he did not come:
I strayed along the brook-side,
And slowly wandered home;
When who should coma behind me,
But him I would have chid;
lie said he came to find me
Do you roully think he did'
He said, since last we parted,
He'd thought of naught so ewoet,
Asof this very moment
Tho moment we should meet.
He showed me where, half shaded,
A cottage home lay hid;
He said for me he made it
Do you really think he did?
He said when first ho saw ma
Life seemed at once divine;
Each night he dreamt of angels,
And every face was mine;
Sometimes a voice, in sleeping,
Would all his hopes forbiJ;
And then ho wakened weeping
Do you really think he did?
I Love r Laugli.
BY A VOUNQ LADY.
I love a laugh a wild, gay laugh.
Fresh from the fount of feeling
That speaks a heart enshrined within,
Its joys revealing.
I love a laugh a wild! gy zh'.
O, who would always sorrow'
And wear a sad and mournful face,
And fear the morrow?
I love a laugh it cheers the heart
Of age bow'd down by sadness.
To hear the music in the tones
Of childhood's gladness,
I lore a la ugh this world would be
At best dreary dwelling.
If heart could never speak to heirt,
Its pleasures telling.
7 hen frown not at a gay, wild laugh,
Nor chide tho merry-hearted
A cheerful heart and merry face
Can ne'er bo parted.
Just Seventeen.
Juftt seventeen! the sweetest age
That's entered on fair beauty's pago.
Lip like the rose bud cleft in twain,
With pearly gems the cleft to stain;
Eyes like twin stars beneath some cloud.
That comes their sparkling light to shroud;
Rich tresses of the auburn glow,
Frco wavingo'er a brow of snow;
And then the bosom, heaving, swelling,
Where trickling Cupid holds his dwelling
Of woman's life, no year I ween,
Like toft, sweet, pouting seventeen'.
Gcnnine Modern Miracle.
One Strang, a professor of the Mormon
church, promised to endow his followers
with the Holy Ghost, if they would build
a house for the purpose. He took three
or four of them at a time to a room above,
and performed the Mormon rite of wash
ing their feet. He then anointed the
crown of each head with a mixture of oil
and phosphorus, and conducted them to a
dark hall. All being there assembled, each
saw on the heads of all the rest the phos
phoric illumination, which some fools took
for the Holy Ghost, while others smelling
a rat, to wit, the phosphorus, took it for an
impudent imposition. The meeting then
dispersed, one half believing Strang to be a
phrophet, and the rest an imposter.
Pantaloons, theiu gender and n
comingxess. Mrs. Swisshelm, the edi
tress of the Pittsburg Saturday I'isitor,
thinks that the wide skirts of women are
impediments in rural exercises, as she has
often felt in walking through wet grass,
getting over fences, and clambering round
rocks. She does not, however, approve
of her sex wearing the pantaloons, and
says, very emphatically, "It wauld be too
humiliating to be met and mistaken for a
man! We should a great deal rather be
arrested as a sheep-thief. We shall use
all our influence to preserve man's rights
to his pantaloons inviolate. They ought
to be his, and his only; for they are too
ugly for anybody else to wear."

Dickens.
He is a very gay dresser eschews col
lars rejoiceth in bright scarlet facings to
his waistcoat is as fond of rings and
gold chains as a Mosaic Jew. Indeed he
dresses in a manner which, if indulged in
bv another would inevitably call forth
some of his trenial banter. He is fond of
country dances and similar amusements.
By his own fireside he is as pleasant and
companionable as his warmest admirer
could wish: his conversation, however, is
not what might oe expected from a man
so justly celebrated: he telLsastory well,
and with-every fresh variations and nu
morous exagerations. He is a strong ad
nirer of Tennyson and Bi owning; we
have heard him declare that lie would
rather written the 'Blot in the Scutcheon'
than any work of modern times. We
heard similar high admiration expressed
on the other side of the Atlantic. Ta
king this for what it is worth, it still
shows how highly that unpoplur poet, is
esteemed by some of the leading intellects
of England and America.
Mr. Dickens lives in good style in the
Regent's Park, and is reported to live 'not
too wisely, but too well.' Men of quick
feelings and ardant sympathies are not
expected to be Cocker's Arithmetic in
the flesh, or to have the calculating mind
of a London or a New York merchant.
lie abominates argument; delights in
walking the crowded thoroughfares of life
and noting the humors of his fellow-crea
tures. lie has a strong sympathy with
all the oppressed classes, and has no tol
eration for the misanthrope or the cold
hearted aristocrat. He now and then ad
ministers a little gentle rebuke to affecta
tion, in a pleasant, but unmistakeable
manner. We remember an instance
where he silenced a bilious young writer
who was inveighing against the world in
a very 'forciable feeble manner.' During
a pause in this philippic against the hu
man race, Dickens said across the table
in the most self congratulatory of tones; 'I
say, , what a lucky thing it is you
and I don't belong to it. It reminds me
continued the author of Pickwick, 'of two
men, who a raised scaffold were awaiting
the final delicate attention of the hangman
the notice of one was aroused by ob
serving that a bull had got into the crowd
of spectators, and was busily engaged in
tossing one here and another there;
whereupon he said to the other: I say
Biil, how lucky it is for us we are up
here: '
In general however, his remarks are
not happy. Notwithstanding his theoret
ical sympathy with the lower classes, he
pays an absurb difference to men of rank
and thinks no dinner table cempiete with
out a lord, or a very rich merchant cr
tanker. This has been decidedly in
jurious to bis writings: it has cramped
his hand and checked the thunder in mid
vol lev.'
Untutored Eloquence-
A Catawba warrior, m 1822, named
Peter Harris, made known his wants to
the Legislature of South Carolina, in the
following language:
'I am one of the lingering survivors of
an almost extinguished race. Our graves
win soon oe our only habitations. 1 am
one of the few slocks that stili remain in
the field where the tempest of the revo
lution passed. I have fought against the
British for your sake. The British have
disappeared, and you arc free; yet from
me the British have taken nothing, nor
have I gained any thing by their defeat.
1 have pursued the deer for substence
the deer are disappearing and I must
starve. God ordained me for the forest,
and my ambition is the shade. But the
strength of my arm delay, and my feet fail
me in the chase. The hand which fought
for your liberties is now open for vour
relief. In my youth I bled in battle" that
you might be independent let not my
heart in my old age bleed for want of your
commiseration.

About Orchards.
Management of Youkg Apple Or
chards. The following mode of treatment
of a young apple orchard, transplanted in
the spring of 1818, by which all lived and
made a vigorous growth, has been furnish
ed by J. Talcott, of Rome, N. Y.
Last year the ground was planted with
potatoes; in the fall, after the crop was off
it had a heavy top-dressing of horse ma
nure, drawn from the village and plowed
under. The trees were earthed up to pro
tect them from mice. This spring, the
ground was crossed plowed, and it is now
sown to carrots, parsnips, onions and some
beans planted among them; the ground has
been forked around the trees for a circle
of about five feet. They are making a fine
growth. The stems have been -washed
with diluted soft soap.
A Profitable Orchard. The Amer
ican Agriculturist says: 'A gentleman
within our knowledge has a small orchard
on the Hudsn river, of less than seven
acres, which produces from $500 to $750
worth of ipj)les annually. This is not
one year of plenty, and another or two of
famine, but is a regular, steady average
yield. All th is is secured by the simplest
process, viz: good management.
Another. in old orchard of four acres
had not been plowed for nearly thirty
years, and was regarded by the neighbors
as worthless. It did not yield more thar
eight barrels a year. It was well plowed,
and thoroughly manured for three succes
sive years, and cultivated with crops. It
then produced two hundred and eighty
barrels of apples.
Somcthins to Think
Of.
At West Point, our government long
ago established ajmilitary school. Young
men are selected from different States ev
ery year, sent there, costs the United States
government from four to five thousand
dollars.
More than 6 1,000,000 have been bes
towed bv the U. States upon that institu
tion; and all for what?
Well, what then? Before Washington
left the Presidency, he earnestly recom
mended Congress to establish a Board of
Agriculture, or to take some other meas
ures to foster that peaceful but leading and
important interest. They have been since
repeatedly urged to lend the strong arm of
government to the elevation and encour
agement of that neglected calling. What
have they done? Nothing. Millions and
millions have been expended r lo learn
young men how to fight; not the 'first red
cent'' to teach the noble, bread-giving, world
sustaining service and art of agriculture!
Maine Farmer.
Weeds.
'One year's seeding makes seven year's
weeding.' Old Adage.
The farmer, and indeed every one who
cultivates the soil, should wage an unceas
ing warfare against weeds. They should
never be tolerated, and never permitted to
mature their seeds, even in uncultivated
soils. A single thistle will often be the
means of fouling a whole field and of ren
dering its cultivation difficult for years.
It is not unfrequently that we see the cor
ners of lots and unoccupied by the fences
overgrown with thistles, mullens, nef.les
and the like; and very often the soil around
stone steps, that cannot be got at convent
ently by the plough, is abandoned to their
usurpation. This, however, is bad policy
and should never be countenanced on any
farm, no matter what may be the dimen
sions, or the uses to which it is applied.
Set Your Fence Posts Right. A
practical farmer informs the Hartford
Times, that in taking up a fence that had
been set fourteen years, he noticed that
some of the posts remained nearly sound,
while others were rotted off at the bottom.
On looking for the cause, he fouud that
those posts that were set limb part down,
or inverted from the way they grew, were
ay tney gr
sound. Those that were set as they grew,
were rotted off. The fact is worthy of the
notice of farmers.
San Francisco Post Office.
The Californians are loud in their de
nunciations of the present management of
the Post Otlice of San Francisco. The
following is an extract from a letter dated
Francisco, July 18, received by a gentle
man in Boston:
"I am satisfied there is no honesty in
the Post Office here, and shall not pre-pay
any more letters. I heard a man at the
Post office window this afternoon ask for
letters the address being handed into the
window on a slip of paper, and was an
swered, 'we cannot attend to it.' 'Can you
let me know to-morrow?' 'No! We can
not promise.' 'I will satisfy you for your
trouble.' The answer was. IIow much
will you give?' He replied, 'I will give
$10,' and was answered, 'call in the morn
ing and you shall have them.'
"I am also credibly informed by men I
hnow, that they have called for letters re
peatedly, and were answered there were
none, and by making another call they
succeeded in getting them."

Thc-IIappy Valley.
The persecuted Mormons have found a
refuge in an isolated valley on the western
slope of the rocky Mountains, in which we
rather hope than expect that they will be
permitted to remain unmolested. If the
following description, said to have been
communicated by a Mormon resident in
the new settlement at the opening of the
valley, near the shore of the Great Salt
Lake, to a friend in Ohio, is correct, this
singular people have at length found an
abode rivalling in its attractions Mr. Mel
ville's Vale of Typee:
"There is an extensive gold mine here,
from which many of my neighbors are en
gaged in digging gold. Those who work
the mines make from $30 to S750 per day,
each. If a man wants gold, all he has to
do is to go and dig it. In fact, Miles, mon
ey is as plenty heie as pine slabs used to
be at Schroou, Vt. We have gold dust,
gold and silver coin, and a paper currency
for our own convenience, paper being bet
ter to handle than gold dust.
"Pure salt abounds here to an' extent.
I can shovel up a wagon load of salt here
as soon as you can a load of sand on your
lake shore. There are hot springs here
that are very useful. Within four miles
of the city there is a hot spring, the water
of which is sufheiently hot to scald a hog
in. There is another spring within one
mile of the city, the water of which is
about blood warm there we bathe for
health; also, an oil spring, a soda spring,
and an alkali spring near the lake, at which
place it requires but a few minutes to load
a wagon with as good saleratus as ever we
used in fact, we use no other. Theire is
not much timber in this country. Game
is very plenty, such as buffaloes, antelopes,
deer, bear, kc. Fowls and fishes of all
kinds in abundance.
"Cattle can live hear the whole year
without either hay or corn, and be fat
enough for beef at any time. There has
been one crop raised in the vallev, and
there is a large crop of wheat in the
ground. There is a canal being construct
ed here, for the purpose of watering our
fields, as there is very little or no rain in
the summer season." JVis.

'Well, let me hear all about it,' asked the
