Agy;cul.Yre.--Now is an important time for farmers-this is the season to ditch your low lands and carry the turf and dirt into the barn yards. Grass of a good quality wfll not grow where there is, during considerable part of the year. standing water. Mow the weeds and bushes on your pasture lands-cut up the hedge rows about your Relds. Don't let too many trees stand around your pasture and moving lots. they exhaust ihe land ami disfgure your farms. and are of little ,,se for shade; cattle will do better without than ,vi,h them. They olten too attract tho Kgh,ninr when surrounded by cattle. horses and shssre and Amany are killed. Prepare also vo,,r wheat ground. but don't sow more than yo. can in prime order, if you do you will lose your expenue and labor. Make use of vegeta. .hle manure for your wheat land.

1t appears. by letters from the west, that Black Hawk has not been well received, by his nation on bis return. He is charged with having made concessions tO the President which cpmpromit the interests and dignity of the red people. Black Hawk denies an this. and we believe with much truth.

hearer of his sincerity, that he Is ready
to exclaim, dying he would not re-
tract.
Sir, this was proud day for the
Statesman of the West His noble
soul must have throbbed and expanded
with the Hottest emotions--such feelings
as none ever enjoy but those who are
impelled by high and holy zeal for
the welfare Of their country. He is
proud that he has had an opportunity to
go with his offering to the shrine of his
bleeding country-apply balm to her
wounds, and heal her dissentions, un-
mindful of his own fate, and even of his
long and fondly cherished system. He
is for his country and liberty first
then for the Tariff. Never did man
speak as did he to-day. Just before
the question was taken, he arose and
occupied the time of the Senate for Is
or 20 minutes, in bursts of transcendent
eloquence. He was heard with breath
less attention. Amor patrig breathed
in every word--unyielding devotion to
his beloved land, resounded in every
intonation of his manly voice. Long
may he live, to share with his country
men the blessings secured by his map
preciable efforts. May he receive the
fullest manifestations of his country's
gratitude; and his name shine on the
pages of his history, so long as the
splendid fabric of America shall stand
mistaken SO long as patriotism shall be
deemed virtue among men, and so
long as Liberty, on the whole face of
the Earth, shall have votary.

We pushed from the post office stairs
in a gondola with six oars at sunset.
1t was melancholy to leave Venice.
A hasty farewell look, as we sped down
the grand canal, at the gorgeous pa
laces, even less famous than beautiful
"a glance at the disappearing Riolto,
as we shot out into the Gindecca in a
blaze of sunset glory. Oh how mag
nificently looked Venice in that Light
rising behind US from the sea--all her
superb towers and palaces, turrets and
spires fused into gold; and the water
about her, like mirror Of stained glass,
without a ripple!
An hour and half of hard rowing
brought us to the nearest land. You
should go to Venice to know how like
dream reality may be. You will
find it difficult to realize when you smell
once more the fresh earth and grass
and flowers, and walk about and see
fields and mountains that this city upon
the sea exists out ofimagination. You
float to it and about it and from it, in
their light craft, SO arially, that it
seems vision.
With drive of two or three hours,
half-twilights half-moonlight, we enter

could muster. | walked through one

CHOOSING TO BE HANGED RATHER
THAN MARRIED.-It was formerly a
law in Germany, that female COLI
iemned to capital punishment should
be saved it any man would marry her.
A young girl OF Vienna was on the
point of being executed, when her
y outh and beauty made a great impress
sion upon the heart Of one of the spec
tators, who was Neapolitan, middle
age d man, but excessively ugly. Struck
with her charms he determined to save
Iher, and running Immediately to the
place Of execution. declared his intenti-
on to marry the girl, anddemanded her
pardon according to the custom Of the
country. The pardon was granted on
condition that the girl was not averse
to the match. The Neapolitan then
gallantly told the female, that he was
a gentleman Of some property, and
that he wished he was King, that he
might offer her a stronger proof Of his
attachment. 'Alas! SIR replied the
girl. Il am fully sensible Of your az
lection and generosity, but ! am not
mistress over my own heart, and cam
not belle my sentiments. Unfortun-
ately, they control my fate; aud l pre-
fer the death with which / am threa-
tened, to marrying such an ugly fel-
low as YOU The NeaP. Titan retired
it, confusion, and the woman directed
the executioner to do his office.
