passenger and then against another. Again
we took him by the arm--for there grew
a mystery about him which increased in in
terest as it increased in perpexing circum.

advised him of the fact. lie begged to be
lett to pursue his way alone, with SO mucl
earnestness that we thought it best to give
the lad n trial, but still kept our eye upon
him: anu found as we feared, that he could
not get on. In few moments he was near
being trampled to death, and we found i. ne
cessary to take him by the arm again. 1t
was with mingled reluctance and submis-
sion that he suffered US to resume his rui-
dance.
When he reached what he supposed was
distance enough, he groped at the door of
largo house. We supposed that his sister
might be there at service, but he pronounced
1t not the place. We conducted him to the

light evening that young sailor just reach

he had arrived at. He changed his tarry
habiliments for the citizens dress, aud on
the wings Of love took his way to call on
his betrothed. At the mansion of her who
now filed his thoughts, he stopped. Soon
with the knockcr in his hand, he stood with
palpilating heart, and knocked at the
door, while with shutllng foot he gently
tapped at the sill, as impatlently he waited
for its opening.

lover, with a smile, as the door swung back,

FALSE DELICACY.

| One of the most remarkable traits IN the
character of the American women, is their
| extreme and almost excessive modesty. 1t
has been noticed by Captain Marryatt, and
almost all foreigners who have travelled
among us. Mrs. Trollope, whose book can
not be so destitute of truth and Justice, as
some have pretended, since it has reached
the fourth finer can edition, often aludcs
to this point in the character of our country
women; and she illustrates it with some ve-
ry laughabIe examples. The conversation
between gentleman and lady about shirt,
which she gives us, in one oE her chapters
in which the gentleman tries all his skill to
make the lady confess what sort of a gar
ment she is making. and the lady on her
part, doubles every way, uses all her inge
nuity, and resorts at last TO downright false
hood to avoid pronouncng SO indecent a
word as shirt, is very amusing, and is con-
tirmcl by almost daily experience.
This excessive pru lery, though certainly
altogether less dangerous than the opposite
extreme, is still ridiculous enough, and Oft
en- interrupts, without any sufficient re son,
the easy flow Of social conversation. 1t is
not, however, peculiar to the Americans, as
the following story VIII show.
When the young Queen of Philip ". Of
Spain, was on her way to Madrid, there for
the first time to behold husband whom
she had married without ever hrving seen
him, she passed through little town in
Spain, famous for its munufaclory of gloves
and stockings. The magistrates ofthe place,
thought they could not better express their
joy, on the arrival Of their new Queen, than
by presenting her with Il sample Of those
manufactures for which their town was so
celebrated. The Major Domo who conduct
ed the Princess, received the globes very
graciously but when the stockings were
presented, he flung them away with great
indignation, and severely reprlmanded the
magistrates for having been guilty of the
egrcgious indccorum and indecency of Of
ierng such present. Kno,c, said he, that
a Queen of Spain has no legs. The young
Queen, who at this time understood the
Spanish language but imperfectly, and who
had often been frightened with stories of
Spanish jealousy, imagined that when she
arrived ut Madrid they would proceed i'm
mediatcly to cut her legs off; just as the
cIIllesc lcIuel IIlcll No'hch CIlppits, 10
keep them at homo, and preserve them from
being expos d to temptation.
As the young Queen was altogether too
fond of melton, to he willing to part with
her legs, she fell a crying, and begged the
Major DDmo to conduct her back to Germa-
ny, protesting, most seriously, that she ne
YER could endure the operation. 1t was
not without great difficulty, and after ma
ny tedious explanations, that her attend
ants could appease her. Philip ". is said
never to have laughed heartily but once;
and that was when this story of his new
wife was first told to him.--B ,stot .4Has

spreading and digging in the hole, which is all
a waste of manure and labor to the farmer.
Dung in the hole makes nest for worms, keeps
the roots from running off into the soil to pro
tect the growth against drought, and burns n,
in dry time
Another reason against heavy manuring aud
poughing in is that it would occupy SO little
ground that the farmer could not live, for TWO
or three of the first years. This is not true.-
Let him put on to one acre and turn in deep,
wha, he usually puts on six, and he will realize
more net profit the first year. If that land
should be sowed to grain the next year, it only
wants to be sowed and plougbed lightly or har-
rowed heavily, for the steam of the gases
from the manrre, until it shall be exhausted.
will from year to year keep the land highland,
if ploughed at all, it needs but light furrow.
Then do the same the next year, and so on,
and farmer will soon get his fields in high cu-
tivation. And the higher the state of cultivation,
the longer the fields can lay down the labor of
cultivation will lessen each year. If the field
can he put into such state that they will need
deep poughing only once in five or ten years,
81 very light furrow in The intermediate years,
how much heavy labor and expense it would
save farmer. If he can by this means also in
crease the fertility of his lands and the quantity
OF pruduce, he is reapng an advantage both
ways, besides relevingEhis own body from
heavy toll. Why then should not the farmer be
willing SO to manage as to reap three advana
ges; improvement of soil, increase of crops, and
less labor.

ANCIENT CARTHAGE.

Sir Grenville Temple, who lately arrived at
Malta, from Tunis, on board the Ottoman frigatc
Surlcl, has employed himself for the last six
months IN making excavations on the classic soil
OF Carthage--a city, the mere mention Of whose
name awakens in the bosom of every scholar
thousand recollections Of glory which once adorn-
ed the mistress of the African seas, and the i'm
mortal rival. of the Roman republic. His labors
have been well rewarded by the peculiarly inte-
resting discoveries he has made. Among them.
we may notice that, on the site of the Temple OF
Ganath, or Juno CGlests, the great protecting
deity Of Carthage, he found about seven hundred
CONS, and various objects Of glass and earthen
ware. But the most remarkable, and perhaps
least expected, of his discoveries, is that of
yila, situated on the sea shore, fifteen feet under
ground. Eight rooms are completely cleared, and
their size and decorations prove that the house
belonged to wealthy parsonage. The walls are
painted and the floors beautifully paved in Mosaic,
IN the SAME manner as those at Pompeii and Her
culaneum, representing great variety Of subjects,
such as marine deities, both male and female, diff
terent species of sea-fsh, marine plants, vessel
with female figures dancing on deck, and sur
rounded by admiring warriors other portions
represent lions, horses, leopards, tigers, deer re
bras, bears, gazeles, hares duck, herons, nj the
like. Ten human skeletons, apparently of those
slain during the assault of the city, were found in
the different chambers. Sir Grenville also dis
covered, in another house, other mosaics Of great
interest: these represent gladitors contending in
The arena with wild beasts, and over each man is
written his name. In another part, are seen
horse-races, and men breaking in young horses.
Our limits oblige to restrict these details; but
we hope-lndeed we understand-that Sir Gren-
vile Temple will shortly publish complete ac-
count OF his important and extraordinary discove-
rles We are aware that Sir Thomas Reade,
from the early period of his residence as his Va
jesty's Agent Consul General in 1unis, drew
many specimens OF antiquity from the same spot,
which we believe were sent to enrich some of
our public institutions in England but Sir Gren-
VILE Temple has had the good fortune TO make
connections which assisted greatly his own ardor
tor antiquarian research, and the objects he has
been thus enabled to recover from their long OBJ
security are of nature to throw minuter light
upon the customs and state of the arts in that ce-
LIBERATED Roman colony. These discoveries may,
perhaps, eventually equal in interest those which
have long commanded the general admiration in
Southern Italy, and will. no doubt, render cee-
brated the name of the perseverng discoverer,
amongst other British psychologists; particularly
If any of the curosities found should be placed
amongst the valuable remains of antiquity which
Great Britain already possesses.
