THE GREEN HILLS OF MY FATHE R
LAND
Tho green Lille of my father land
In dreams still greet my view;
I see once more thy wave girt strand—
Thy ocean depth of blue—
The sky—the glorious sky, outspread
Above their calm repose—
The river, o'er its rocky bed
Still singing ns it flows—
The stillness of the Sabbath hours,
When men go up to pray—
The sunlight resting on the floivers—
The birds that sang among the bowers,
Thro' all the summer day.
Land of my birth!—mina early love !
Once more thine airs I breath !
I see thy proud hills tow'r above—.
Thy green vales sleep beneath—
Thy groves, thy rocks, thy murmuring , rills,
All rise before mine eyes, •

Thy gorgeous sunset skies,—
Thy forests, from whose deep recess
A thousand streams have birth,
Glatrning the lonely wilderness,
And filling the green silentness
With melody and mirth.
I wonder if my home would scout
As lovely as of yore!
I wonder if the mountain Stream'
Goes singing by the door !
And if the flowers still bloom as fair,
And if the woodbines climb,
And when I used to train thorn there,
In the dear olden time !
I wonder if the birds still sing
Upon the garden tree,
As sweetly as in that sweet spring
Whose golden memories gently bring
So many dreams to mel
I know that there both been a change,
A change o'er hall and humth !
Faces and footsteps new and strange,
A bout my place of birth !
The heavens above are still as bright
As in the days gone by,
But vanished Is the beacon light
That cheered my morning sky !
And hill, and vale, and wooded glen;
And rock, and murmuring stream,
That Wens such glorious beauties then,
Would seem should it return again,
Thu record of a dream !
I mourn not for my childhood's hours,
Since, in the fur•oll' West,
'Heath summer skies, in greener bowers
My heart both found its rest.
I mourn not fur the hills and streams
That chained my steps so long,
Yet still I see them in my dreams,
And hail them in my sour;
And often
.by the hoarth.firc'a blaze,
When winter eves shall come,
We'll sit and talk of other days,
And
.sing tho well remembered lays
Of my green mountain hopia.

WOMAN'S REVENGE.
A TAI,E FOUNDED ON FACT.
PART I.
None excelled, and fow equalled, on the
coast of Spain the beauty of Lady Er►nu; nor
ever did truer knight conch lance in defence
of the walls of old Castile, and iikhonor or its
peerless dames,than hor manly husband, Lu !
dovick. They seemed to command that ho•
inage which honor, love and virtue ever do;
on her lair faceone might perceivd the kind,
benitie.ent heart that throbbed within her
breast; and in his bold and towering front
might be distinguished the manly, upright
virtue that characterised his lichens. He
was a warrior of noble frame and distin
guished, prowess; invincible alike in the
gayer tourney or more deadly battle, a
scourge alike to the wicked and to the en
emies of his country; the low bona quailed
beneath his eye, while the nobler fell be
neath arm;—the, minstrels loved to
sing his praise; and many fair ladies sighed
in envy of :the- lovely . Enna, when ,they
heard in their bowers the goodly .praises
the minstrels, bestowed on, that puissant
knight. But vain might be her sighs, ; for
his heart was devoted to his wedded wife,
mud nought could change his love.
Their biidal feast ,hod now gone by a
twelve month., and.the pompous and formal
rejoicings of the iirst,montlis - hed subsided
into the more touching joys and more en
dearing . companionship of the , bower—
where they loved to hold that sweet con
verse, which minds, elevated by the soft
emotion of deep-rooted love, alone can feel.
On a summer's eve, when tho deepening
shades told Enna she might expect the re.
turn of her husband from the gay and busy
court, he with 11 heavy step and heavier
heart, for-the first time since their alliance,
entered; tha t love-fraught bower.- .
'ln the name of all that, is dear,' cried
Enna; casting her arms around his steel
cased neck, 'tell me, my Ludovick; what
hath caused this change in thee? what
bath crossed thee, love?'
news have I for thee, dear Enna,'
answered he, 'no longer shall I share thy
peaceful bower; no longer shall I listen to
thy pretty tales of love; no longer kiss thy
love-inviting lips! . No, .I must to arms;
my country calls me to. ban le for its rights!!
'Oh, short-lived joy!, cried Enna; 'are wo
to part?'
'Again to meet; when on my head fresh
honors shall be poured! I go to scourge
tire Turk, with thousands of bravo warriors
ofSpaiii, my partners in the strife! Thy
husband shall return with the bright tro
phies of captured banners, and the !oud
shout of thousands in his train—his name
upheld to- henor—spoken with reverence
by all Spanish men! And -thou, shalt es•
teem me, dear, more worthy of thy. love.'
must not :mourn, then,' cried Enna;
'but while thou art away days will .seem
years; and my only joy will be, some kind
messenger to tell me of thy,
,glory, and
dreams of thy return.'
Ere a month had. passed; the sun
gleamed on the bright armor of Count Lu
dovick, as he issued from Castile with his
band of warriors to join the body of his
country's troops, who. were ~already fight
ing. with the Turk, where we will leave
him, hewing his way among the enemy,
creating pools of blond and heaps of tawny
slain, and follow the fortune of our lair he
roine.
For nearly twelve months did she keep
herself aloof from the ..world„ closeted
rrr----retirertietitr whole clays would she
love to sit and to contemplate with fervent
look and fervent hope some gift of her ab•
sent husband; or pore with eagernes over
the book he loved to read when together
in the bower. But constant tidings of his
health and safety, his prowess, his success
in arms, gave her a cenfidence which grad
ually wore off a portion of hor anxiety;
and repeated invitations to court to visit
those friends who had been companions of
her husband, at last summoned her from
seclusion. And hew delighted was she to
find that her change enabled her to con
verse of her husband, and gave her more
frequent opportunities of hearing of him.—
But alas! how soon may the cup of nectar
be dashed from our lips; how quickly will
happiness turn to bitterness and despair,
especially in the innocent and unprotected
—as quickly us the dark, ering, stoi
cloud, wafted by the winds of heaven, doth
obscure the mighty sun.
It may easily be imagined that the beau
ty of Enna had raised up no few admirers,
who, when her husband was near, dared
not so much as breathe to themselves their
very thoughts; but him they had no longer
to fear; and tender looks were! , giving way
to tender speeches;and those who sought
merely to gain a sight Of her form as she
passed by, were now struggling to render
her some service to draw her attention.—
For a time she was unconcious how far she
had attracted the attention ofso many; for
her mind was superior to evil thought; and
want of knowledge 01 the world led her to
esteem all as virtuous as herself in idea
and deed. Alas! how much she erred I
The truth, however, was too glaring, and
could no longer be concealed;' and much
anxiety and annoyance did it give her. But
they ware too puny and insignificant , to
withdraw and seclude her from society;
she merely contented herself with casting
them to n distance with disgust and
wounded pride.
rant
While matters stood thus, there came
from the army Lord Xavier, bearing im
portant despatches to, Philip,. the then
King .of Spain, praying hiin.to raise fresh
troopQ, and transport them with all speed
to the south. It was at a time when the
king was surrounded by hts nobles and a
galaxy of beauteous dames, that Lord Xa
vier had the honor of presenting his de
spatches, and had lull time to view ivith
admiration the amazing beauty that sur.
rounded him. Ho was a man of no pre
tensions, save a large and muscular frame,
a daritoiercing eye, and a pair of lipQ, on
‘vhich ever sat a peculiar sinister
that bespoke %litany of purpose. A strange
ferbralina seized on the heart of Enna as
she caught his gaze full on her face, and
that with no concealed expression of in',
tense admiration; her heart seemed frozen
within her, as.she saw in him an old ne
glected lover, whom she had ever feared
and ever despised; she knew not why, but
she dreaded the man more at that =-
Mem than she ever had done. The court

is at an end, and as the nobles pass under
the platform where the ladies are seated,
Lord Xavier, as ho passed Lady Enna,
bestowed on her a rude, vulgar, but admi
ring stare, and whispered audibly, 'would
she were mine!'
She could not mistake his thought, has
purpose; she knew well ho would resume
his old suit.
Alas! her trial was at hand. A few
hours afterwards, he gamed adMission to
her presence, to give letters that count Lu
dovick had entrasied to him, hula suspect
ing he placed himself so much in the power
ofa viper. From that moment she knew no
peace; each day she was tormented by his
vile presence, and his vile persuasions,
that brought the blush of shamo into her
cheeks, surmounted only by the glow that
concious pride induced. Strong were his
persuasions and forcible, but mildness was
succeeded by anger and - stern deterniina
tionyon finding himself "cleated, and spurn
ed as a base creature; threats were alike
useless; each day brought fresh fortitude
and renewed firmness to her, and further
removed his chance of success.
But the preparations for the departure of
Lord Xavier were drawing to a conclusion,
arid 'he resolved to make his last attempt,
and accordingly threw in the full force
of soft persuasion and harsh threat; but he
was met with scorn, and repelled with dis
gust. High was his passion—bitter his
imprecations; his ardent love, or rather lust,
seemed turned to most implacable balm!,
and longing for revenge, he rushed from
her presence resolved on her destruction.
On the same evening Lord Xavier, re
paired to his Cafe, burning with revenge,
and anxious to catch something wherewith
to gratify the will. lu this mood lie took
his seat at a little distnnce from a party of
young nobles, who were full oi mirth and
conversation, so touch so, indeed that they
did not notice the entrance of Xavier, to
most of whom, he was personally known.
Their jokes, however, were laid aside, 'on
the name of Lady Enna being mentioned
by one of the cavaliers.
'By my sword,' cried one, 'she is the 1
loveliest in the land.'
'My body should pass,ihrough fire and
water to obtain hut one smile trete her
lovely lips,' cried another; and every gal
luta then 'gave vent to his feelings in win.
tar tones of enthusiastic admiration, vet
somewhat tempered with respect. Rut
while this was passing at their table the
heart of Xavier beat high, as ho fancied
he now saw a favourable mode of revenge
within his grasp; twice did he give it up
as ungenerous, but the evil spirit was
stronger than the good, and conquered; and
before his mind could be again changed he
was at the table of his friends, and had
stripped sweet Edina of her fair natne.—
Some believed; others, looking up to her as
a thing too pure to be contaminated, be
lieved 'him not—still, doubt oppressed
them, as the slander wore a bold front, on
which appeared stamped the tome of
truth—yet all grieved that it should he
thus.
Report soon spreads—Enna's name was
in the mouth of all; those that were jeal.
ous of her could now take exception at her
actions and multiply their trifling reminis
cence. Poor Enna I she was doomed to
great suffering; at the same time that the
odious aspersions reached her ears, and
had roused her indignation to the highest,
her senses were overwhelmed with grief at
tidings from the army that her husband was
either killed or taken prisoner; ‘ilently,
but deeply, she sorrowed, that the only
being she loved was carried from her, per.
haps forever. Still there was some hope;
he might yet be a prisoner, and time might
restore him to her arms; tho afflicted ever
catch at hope. Her mind was for a time
numbed with the poigoancy of grief; but
hope afforded some consolation. Who
bath she now to protect her in cage of need?
whom to fly to, to sustain her against ma
licious wrong? None bath she, save the
supporting strength of her own virtue.
'God, aid me now in mino extremity,'
cried she, 'for I am sore beset, forlorn, and
unprotected! 'Twere better ho should die
than suspect my honor. Oh, Ludovick,
Ludovick ! would thou wert here to avenge
thy, injured wife ! but deeds, not words,
must now be thought of!' and with a
strength of mind worthy a politiciai►, her
course was quickly shaped.
Early on the morrow, when King Philip
was holding counsel with the elite of his
warriors, Enna forced . kerseir into the pre
sence, and on bended knee poured fourth
her grievances and accusation against Lord
Xavier, claiming at once protection of the
king, and demanding vengeance. All cried
shame on him; but ho still persisted in his
affirmation.
'Shame on ye, shame !) cried Enna, 'to
driven woman to this extremity; but I chal
lenge ye to the lists !—the trial by the
sword !'
A dozen dobles, on hearing this, sprang
to their feet with a cry of admiration, and
threw their mailed gauntlets in defiance
before Lord Xavier.
`numb, thanks. my lords !' cried Enna.
gathering up the gauntlets, and restoring
them each to its owner; 41 would not' that
ye embroil yourselves for me; !leaven de

my cause.'

By a State Liar of the Staie of New
York, from December to April all persons
were prohibited Item kdling Deer, under a
penalty often dollars, halt the fine going to
the complainant, and in th-fault of payment
tea lashes on the naked back-
A Yankee passing through the State of
N. Y. sear Albany, its the month of Janu
ary, observed a young Dutchman, from his
barn door,sqtrinting eve: his 'above] at a
deer about thirty paces from him. and
soliliquising
thuse—
".Miu.e Got—if I had mine gui here, and
it was not for the raw, I would have some
teer tnr mine miner."
The Yankee had a rile, with him, and
immediately shot the Deer, and threw his
rifle into the snow unolbserced by the
Dutchman. and rcmuir4,T, up to tam, said—
"Ah ! my gond fellow, you have been
killing a deer—for 1 saw }&u }on shot
him with yk.ur shovel."
The Dutchman rep Ned—
"Aline Cal—l &deal think mine shov
el was loaded. IdA not thick it would go
off; I never knew it to go Gllbefore."
4.We11," said the Yankee,
,"you have
killed the Deer, and I will --71) to the justice
and complain of yor., and make you pay
your fine, unless vacgive ma the skin and
two dollars."
"Vel," said the Dutchman. "the' 1 did
not think my tamed o!d shovel von!ii go
MT, dat is better den pay ten dollars.'
So the bargain eras coccicdeil; the Yan
kee receiving the skin and two .3t.liars, left
the Dutchman to take care of his venison.
While the Dutchmaa was taking care of
his venison, and before he bad prat itout of
the way, another Drachmae came up and
threatened to curaplaio, upon which Hans, '
the Shovel Shooter, related all that bad
passed between 6ia e f and the Yankee.
Yanderhaun told Hans be had been
imposed upon, that the Yaokze killed the
Deer himself. The tarn Dutchmen then
agree to pursue the Yankee, and to bring
him befure the Justice ,and have him fined.
They soon overtook him and carried
him before the Justice; and Hans entered
his complaint pro Bono public°. W here
upon, the Justice, after hearing all the
testimony pros and cons, and taking the
subject matter into cool, serious and delibe
rate consideration, come to the conclusion
ithat the Yankee killed the Deer with a cer
tain instrument called the rifle, and that
he pay a fine of 810, or he be whipped ton
' lashes. The Yankee chose the latter.-7
The Justice then ordoted the Yankee to
be stripped, tied to a tree 'and the whip
applied. There being no officer present,
the Justice concluded to d'o' the whipping
himself, and. et it he went. After' lie had
given the Yankee five lashes, and was Pro

Yankee bawled out--

GOOD ADVICE. ---In .a mixed company
never start a discussion of a religious or
political nature.
In walking with a . lady in public, her
opinion of yon will not bo the least erihnric
cd, it your countenance wears a. petpetu•
al and unmeaning stnirk or grin, or if you
keep dancing around her like a monkey,
A conirquential strut, or a mincing gait,
sniaht be avoided with advantage..
If you are but a newly married pair--
just caught—the dining room, parlor or
stage coach, is not a proper place for
your billing and cooing. It is worry rig.
g.aw•ating to old bachelors. Avoid debt
and dirt, rum and rheumatism. Each and
all can be successfully shunned.
Do not enter the room suddenly where
you now know there is a young' gentleman
and lady sitting, busily engaged in fanning
a flame.
Never ask a guest to take wine and cake,
if you have got plenty in the' house, With
out proving your sincerity by bringing forth
the articles.
If your sister, while tenderly engaged
in a lender conversation with her Sweet
heart, requests you to hrir.g her a glass of
water from the adjoining room, yol:can
start on the errand but you need not return.
Your absence will not be Missed.
Your dress should be'influenced by your
business and age—more particularly by the
latter. Mutton dressed lamb fiisition is not
generally admired.
Never be induced to drink an immoder
, ate quantity, for fear of lotting the • charac
ter of being a "good fellow."
If you are dining out, en famate,• bp
sure to notice, caress, fondle and kiss all
the sons and daughters under twelve
,ilearB
°rage; and permit the little interesting va
gabonds, to pull you about, sprawl over
you, and soil your clothes; and, although
you may be smothering with rage, smile
benevolently on 'em all.
Be on the best of terms with your land
lady. Remember she has it in her power
to starve you, and can jeopard your health
by putting damp sheets on your bed.
Under no circumstances, and in no situa
tion, be guilty ofa mean action.
It is not incumbent on you to chuck un•
der the chin, the bar or chambermaid,
although she may be both young and pret
ty. Recollect that sho can and will pre.
sume on your familiarities, and pine you
frequently in awkward and; disagreeable
sil uations.
If you are desperately enamored of a
pretty face, be sure and see it at the break
fast table. This remedy has been often
taken with success.
If you would not be thought utterly,
hopelessly irreclaimably abandoned and
depraved—beyond the pale of society—pay

SMALL FATIMB —lf it were not for the ir.
resistible desire of cultivating large fields,
a system might be commenced, the bene
fits of which would soon be acknowledged
by every farmer; a small amount of land
well cultivated will make a poor man
thrive—a large tract neglected will bring a
wealthy man to poverty. If a man caw
obtain from one acre mere than he usually
obtains from five, the renovating system
ought not to be delayed a day. When hay
turns out less than hallo ton to the acre,
the labor and expense of getting the same
will be double that of getting it when the
produce is two tons. Fifty loads of ma
mire to the acre will raise the prodnee ..of
our hay land—worn out to the half ton
standard—up to the value of two tons for
five years; and half 'that ' quantity fur
the succeeding five years, will 'keep the.
land up to that point. In one case the land,
produces without manure five tons of hay;
the expense of fencing, taking Care of land,
and cutting add curing the hay, will amount
to three fourths of the value of the pro
duce—so if the hay be worth $l2 a ton, the
annual income of the land will be 815 only;
but in the other case seventy five loads of
mailer° will give twenty tons of hay per
annum, worth 824(, on land which on the
exhausted system gave $6O only; leaving
'et the end of ten years, more than the dit
ferelice of the value of the land itself, with
the satisfaction to the proprietor, worth
as ouch more, of witnessing good crops,
where only wretched ones grew before.
