TNe Oriental Cypress ITee.-Tbe Editor Of
the American Farmer is much indebted to MI
Skinner for the following letter, from Commodore
Porter.
PsRA, Jan. 80.
DEAR SKINNHR:-I send you some OF the seeds
Of the oriental cypress tree, with which the iur'
kish cemeteries are decorated and embellished. -
They are now at perfect maturity. had them
collected Yesterday.
Ihave sent some to the Horticultural Society
of Massachusetts,. where, l have no doubt, they
will be properly disposed Of. Those enclosed
beg you to distribute; as perhaps the climate Of
MARYLAND will be better adapted to them than
that of Massachusetts,, though l have no doubt
that the tree will flourish in both.
Every body has read of the beautiful and *
tensive cemeteries of Pentari, Of Pera and Con-
stautinopIe. Ii is to this tree they owe their beau
ty. Ii is not worth while to 60 into a minute de.
scription OF it. It is sufficient to. say. that it is the
most appropriate tree for grave yards, and as the
question has been agitated in some Of our papers,
how our grave yards should be ornamented, |
send these seeds.
The tree is an evergreen; the top Of a beaatI'
full elongated conicalform. II grows to a good'!y
size, and Of an enormous height, as thick as they
can stand, and may be propagated from cuttings
as big round as the leg or arm.
never pass one Of our grave yards without a
kind Of horror at the idea of being deposited there.
1 never enter a Turkish cemetry without feeling
gay where all is gaiety; for they are placesof re-
sort for amusement Of Turks, Jews and Chris
ttans. There IS no place more gay OF a summer
evening than the Champ des Morris de Pera. This
is all owing to the cypress tree With us, the
deserted and neglected grave yard keeps US in con.
slant terror Of death. Here death has no such
horrors: the lovely groves Of the cypress and the
gaiety of the place reconcile Us to il. Whether
is II best, to live in constant dread of death, or
to be perfectly familiar and reconciled with it,
If the latter, decorate the grave yard and plant
the oriental cypress: the gave will loose its VIC.
tory, and death his sting.
Yours, truly,

A FATAL DUEL. ARIES vs.. Taurus.
On the morning of the ED ult. as -. OF
Buckingham Township, was feeding his cattle In
the barn ward. a large four year old bull and ram
came in collision, as each was attempting to pos
sess a struggling lock Of hay. The latter per
ceiyine his expected morsel about to bes swallow
ed by his adversary, drew back to the distance
of fifteen or twenty feet, aud with q well direct.
stroke, which sounded like a mall, almost pros.
trated the mighty quadruped. The blow was
near being repeated, when the bull retreated ard
was pursued BY the ram round and round the in.
closure, while the head and horns Of Aries came
bang against the sides and rear Of Taurus, with
such of. repeated knocks, that he roared vehement
ly. Atlast, coming up to a five rail post fence, he
cleared the arean, and made down an adjoining
lane, muttering imprecarious at every jump -
His pursuer, steady to his purpose, ran under a
bar raised some feet from the ground, and soon
came up with his enraged and affrighted antago-
nist-the head of the ram still approaching, with
the precision of an engineer, the unprotected part
Of the fort-whiIe every shot of the a~ssailant mo.
we'd on the bulwark, and increased its velocity
in open space, Having arrived at the boundary
Of the course, both suddenly wheeled. and with
the speed of race horses, came full in view OF the
farm house-Taurus bello sing With rage and
fright, and Aries giving him a full salute at the
distance Of about every twenty yards. Running
one eighth Of a mile, brought them to a fence
straight across the course. Here the bull, ex-
hausted and painting for breath, with his tongue
extended, once more put himself in an attidue tor
battle. His antagonist was instant to meet him,
but being the more exhausted Of the two, and the
bull being driven to desperation, with frenzied
force now became the a~ssailant, and with one
tremendous thrust, planted one Of his horns, the
whole length, in the side Of his adversary, Just
behind his shoulder. These terrible pushes were
several times repeated. and the brave but unfer.
%tunate animal expired instantly. Having slain
his enemy, he stood gazing a. him for some mo.
ments with " dread concern" lest he should rise
again, and when the farmer had reached the spot
he found the victor still gazing at his fellow enc.
my, and unwilling to be driven from the scene OF
action. The ram was a'n0ble animal OF the kind
he had been more than once attacked by dogs.
but owing to his courage las is supposedly escaped
without material injury. At the age OF one year
and three months, he sheared 81 lbs. OF wool.

When shadow and sun divide the heaven,
To watch the south win wake up for play

Not ON the mountains, mid rain aud storm,
But when earth is sunny and green and warm.
O woodland wind. how | love to see
Thy beautiful strength in the forest tree!
Lord of the oak, that seems lord OF the Wild
Thou art shaking his crown and thousand arms
With the ease of a spirit. the glee of a chio'

And every tree Of the field or bower,
Or single in strength, or many IN power,
Ouiyer and thrill from the leaf to the stem,
For the unseen wind is master OF them

And the rivulet sings a merrler aong;
The grain in the meadow waves dark aad light
As the trees fling shade, or the breeze IS strong
Aud over the hills, whether rocky or green,
Troops of the MONDAY ghosts are seen;
The lovely shadows Of ~lOvelier Clouds
With the CLEAN OF the mountains amongst their

The birds as they fly scarce use their wings,
They are borne upon Ihose OF the VIM w'uay'
And their plumes are rufhed, hike all green things,
And flowers, and streams, by his noisy play.

Not a wave, not a leaf. not a spray in motion,

The Boston Advocate of the 18th says:-
We have just had intelligence here, of a SUI
eide from poison, committed by a young lady in
Providence, OF a highly respectable family there,
in wealthy circumstances. No cause is assigned
for the deed, and it is not desirable to mention
the name Of the unfortunate. The very genius
Of crime and self-violence seems to have tainted
the pure moral atmosphere of New England
Suicides are b%aEoming alarmingly frequent, and
call for a moral influence 70 be exerted to check
their progress.
Jim CroW has departed, but the remains Of
Calvin Edison, and his wife Polly, have arrived.
We learn that CalvIn's wife has been induced to
accompany him here on a visit by a slight feeling
of jealousy-when CALVIN was in Boston before,
the ladies paid him great attention, and in truth,
rather more than Mrs. Edison relished-there.

wherever he goes, to protect his unsophisticated
and ingenious heart from Imposition.
