INDIAN CoRN-All, or nearly all, the accounts
that are published of great products of Indian
corn, agree in two particulars, viz; in not using
the plough in the after culture, and in not earth
ing. or but very slightly, the hills. These re-
suits go to demonstrate, that the entire roots are
essential to the ygor Of the crop; and the roots, to
enable them to perform their functions as nature
designed, must be near the surface. If the roots
are severed with the plough, in dressing the crop,
the plants are deprived Of portion Of their nour-
lshment; and if they are buried deep by hilling,
the plant is partially exhausted in throwing out
new set near the surface, where alone thew
can perform their whole office. There is another
material advantage in this mode of cultivating the
corn crop-it saves vast deal of manual labor.

.4atun'n.-The first severe frost had come.
and the miraculous change had passed upon the
leaves which is known only in America. The
bood-red sugar maple, with leaf brighter and
more delicate than Circassian lip, stood here
and there in the forest, like the Sulan's standard
in host-the solitary and far seen aristocrat
of the wilderness; the birch, with its sprit-like
and amber leaves, ghosts Of the departed summer.
turned out along the edges of the woods, like a
lining of the palest gold; the broad sycamore and
the fanike catalpa Haunted their saffron foliage in

lady-bird; the kingly oak, with its summit shaken
bare, still hid its majestic trunk in drapery Of

The TAILoR's FIRST LovE.-Just after was
put to my apprenticeship, having made free choice
of the tailoring trade, had terrible stound of
calf-love. Never shall forgetit. was growing
up, long and lank as willow wand. Brawns to
my legs there were none, as my trowsers Of other
years too visibly affected to show The long
yellow hair hung down, like a flax wig, the length
OF my lantern jaws, which looked, notwithstanding
my yapness and stiff appetite, as if eating, and
they had broken up acquaintanceship. My blue
Jacket seemed in the sleeves to have picked a
quarrel with the wrists, and had rereated to TAFT
below the elbows. The haunch-buttons on the
contrary, appeared to have taken strong liking
to the shoulders, little below which they showed
their brightness. AT the middle of the back, the
tails terminated, leaving the wel-worn rear of my
corduroys, like full moon seen through dark
haze. Oh! but must have been bonny lad.
My first flame was the minister's lassie, Jesse,
a buxom and forward quean, two or three years
older than myself. | used to set looking at her
in the kirk, and felt adrol confusion when our cen
met. 1t dried through my heart like dart, and I
looked down at my psalm book, sheeping and
blushing. Fain would have spoken to her, but
II would not do; my courage aye failed me at the
plnch, though she whiles gave me smile when
she passed me. She used to go to the well every
night with her two soups, to draw water after the
manner OF the Israelites at cleaning; SO thought
OF watching, to give her two apples which had
carried in my pouch for more than week for that
purpose. How she laughed when slapped them
into her hand, and brushed by without speaking! !!
Stood at the bottom Of the close listening, and
heard her laughing till she was like to split NV
heart f1apPt in my breast like pair Of tanners.
It was moment of heavenly hope; but saw
Jamie Groom, the blacksmith, who / awe Jealous
ed was my rival, coming down to the well. i
saw her give him one of the apples; and hearing
him say, with loud guffaw, Where is the tailor!'
took to my heels, and never stopped till found
myself on the little stool by the fireside, and the
namely sound Of my mothers wheel bum-bum-
ming in my lug, like gentle lullaby.

From the Ne1o York Star.
VICTORIA.

The queen, you know, was eighteen in May.
She is an agreeable looking young woman, with
a blonde complexion, (not clear blonde, but the
sudden hue which people get who reside for some
time in London.) Her eyes and hair are light
She wears her hair in the planest manner, usually
drawn behind her ears. In the back it is dressed
a la Grecq. Her forehead is good, the skin
light on it, but not SO tight to give the CLASSY
appearance Of polished marble, which looks very
ugly. The lips rather full, pouting, and red.
Her teeth are regular and not particularly white,
nor does she show them much when she speaks.
Her nose is almost aqueline, and would call il
her best feature. She has rather high cheek bones
and her face when looked at in front appears toe
broad and flat to be handsome. In word, she is
an agreeable, good humored looking, but by no
means handsome young woman. She is appa-
rently in good spirits and laughs very frequently
The Queens neck is longer than due proportion
warrants. Her head sits well upon it. Her
waist is small. Her hands and feet are small !;
the hands white and plump, with taper fingers,
loaded with many neat rings.
Were you to see the Queen on her throne. or
on a chair, or on horseback, you would think that
she was fully of the middle height, but when she
rises, you see that she is of the 'dumpy genus
The fact is, she sits as if she was FIVE feet five
inches high, and she stands more than three
AuChCo lCSSs Hlo 10 OWluS W lcSS DcIIg us
proportionably short This disproportion causes
her to walk indiferently- along in fact.
To carry off her want of height, she is fond, on
state occasions, of having her train borne by two
very little pages-youngsters of ten years old. But
as i'll luck would have it, the Marchoness of elles-
ley, Marchioness of Lansdowne, Countess of
Mulgrave, Duchess of Sutherland, and other
ladies about her person, are tall women, and the
contrast makes the Queen appear of lower stature
than she really is. Her mother is a tall, well
made, dark haired brunette, with remarkably fine
eyes. Her father, like the rest of the royal family.
was over the middle stature.
Very little is now said about the Queens mar
riage. Methinks she has quite time enough to
think of that some years to come They saw.
indeed, that Lord Elphinstone is coming back
from India, and that she had penchant for him.
How far this is true, there can be no means al
present Of fascertaining On one point there is no
dlspute-the Queen may legally espouse sub
ject, if it SO please her.

sumptuous dyes, like stricken monarch, gather
ing his robes of state about him, to die royalty IN
his purple; the tall poplar, with its minaret OF
silver leaves stood blanched, like coward, IN the
dying forest, burdening every breeze with It's
complainings; the hickory, paled through its en-
during green; the bright berries of the mountain
ash, flushed with more sanguine glory IN the
unobstructed sun; the gaudy tulip tree, the Syba-
rite Of vegetation stripped OF its golden cups, sll
drank the intoxicating light OF noon-day In leaves,
than which the lip of an Indian shell was never
more deIicately tinted; the still deeper dyed vines
of the lavish wilderness, perishing with the noble
things whose summer they had shared, outshone
them in their decline, woman, in her death,
is heayenlier than the being whom, in life, she
leaned; and, alone and unsympathising in this
universal decay, outlaws from nature, stood the
fir and the hemlock, their frowning and sombre
heads darker and less lovely than ever in contrast
with the death-struck glory Of their companions.
The dull colors of English autumnal foliage
give you no conception of this marvellous pheno-
menon. The change there is gradual; in Ame-
rica it is the work of night--of single frost.
Oh! to have seen the sun set on hills bright in
the still green and lingering summer, and to wake
IN the morning to spectacle like this'
1t is as if myriad of rainbows were laced
through the tree tops-as if the sunsets of sum-
mer-gold, purple, and crimson-had been fused
in the alembic Of the west, and poured back in a
new deluge oflight and color over the wilderness.
II is as if every leaf in those countless trees had
been painted to outfush the tulip-as if, by some
electric miracle, the dyes of the earth's heart had
struck upward, and her crystals and ores, her sap
phires, hyacinths and rubies, had let forth their
imprisoned colors, to mount through the roots oi
the forest, and, like the angels that, in olden time
entered the bodies of the dying, reanmate the pc
rishing leaves, and revel an hour in their bravery
