the population have dispersed since the first visit
of Capt. Cook, period of seventy years. and about
sixth of the remnant have died within the last

deaths during the past year at about ten thousand
or more than one tenth of the whole population.

The DEFENCE OF VEN1cE-The heroic defence
of the Veniiians, the good use they made of their
liberty, and the manner of their yielding. when it
would have been madness to prolOng the struggle
against an overwhelming force, cannot but excite
strong sympathy and interest. From February
iS4o TIL! the present hour, there has beeen pop
ular movement conducted with so much dignity and
maintained with such answering decisions as that
of Venice. The recent defence of the Queen of the
Adriaic may add another page to the history in
which many gallant deeds of war, and many re-
suits of prudent policy, are chronc!ed to the admi-
ration Of posterity. We know of no example in the
history ola Siate-for Venice, isolated among her
lagunes is State-which, after so long period
OF prostratlon, and,a it were, extinction of the ma
tiona spirit, has risen from its torpor with such
good effect. Venice and its inhabitants had almost
become a by word in Italy for softness and effem-
macy. The Venlans were tactly assumed to he
the men that Beckford, in his travels, described
some hara century ago. But never did a people
indicate their claim TO be enrolled among the vi
rIle population of Europe with more determined
| spirit, or In a more effective way.--FhH Stn

GUARD AGAINST FUTURE EvILs.-A woman
who would fill the station for which God evidently
designed her, must make being agreeable part Of
her duty. They need no urging TO look as pretty
as they can nature takes care of that. But nature
contents herself with this low prompting. She does
not always suggest to us that higher atractveness
without which even beauty is shorn of its beams,
and which often supplies the place Of beauty If
any OF our readers have ever foolish old wo-
man, they will not need anything further on this
point. Foolish young women we see every day ;
their youth and good looks carry them along in a
certain way among certain class, pretty well for
the present-may even get them husbands such as
they are. But when we see the result of such mar
rlages, let us ask ourselves seriously, where lies
the difficulty? What drove the husband to dissi-
patton ?-the wife to folly? May it not have been
something which made home disasiefu? Life is
full of petty trials. trials petty that they are not
to be met directly, with special efforts of prnci
pie, but provided against, in the mass, by such
stores of mind as will give something to think OF
besides the occurrences Of the moment. Without
this, every trfle fday life becomes of consequence
every little vexation finds n bare nerve; woman
may become sour without knowing it, and think he
lot peculiarly hard, merely because she is i'll provi
ded with the requisite deences against lot which
she parakes with the whole sisterhood

! The AMERICAN AGENT TO HuNGARY.-The
Paris correspondent of the London Times says "A
letter from New York, received in Paris within the
last few days. says that the President of the United
States was most anxious TO be the first TO welcome
Hungary Into the family ofindependent nations, aud
to announce, In his message To Congress- the recog-
milton by the American Union of the 'young Euro
pean republc.' In the early part of the struggle,
Ko>suth had applied 10 the Minister of the United
States in Vienna, to mediate between Hungary and
Austria. but the Intervention of that dipomatist fail
ed to effect the desired reconciliation. Since then
the government Of the United States has cherished
lively feeling of sympathy for the Hungarian
cause and the President, SO far back as June last
sent confidential agent TO Hungary to obtain cor
rect Information on the state of the country and TO
ascertain, as far as possible the probable result of
the struggle. The gentleman charged with that
important mission. NJ. ID. Nj was an amateur di
p'oma,ist residing at the time in Paris, and who
was in the habit of communicating occasionally to
the American government his impressions dc cou-
age.
nj. ID. NJ, having no ostensible character or posi-
ton, was well fitted for amission,in the accomplish
ment OF which the utmost discretion was strictly en-
joined. He was, above all cautioned not to commit
dispatches TO the postoce, but to avail himself of
a safe mode OF forwarding them and with view
TO greater secrecy, the Minister of America at vi
emma, was ordered 10 put at hsdsposal the cyphers
used by the legation. M. ID. Nj. was instructed
to make the best of his way to the seat of the pro-
vlsona government at Pesth, or wherever it might
be established on his arrival and he was furnished
with letter of recommendation from Mr. Clayton,
the foreign Secretary of State, TO the Minister of
Foreign Affairs of Hungary, apprsing the latter Of
the official character Of the bearer and the object of
his mission. The confidential agent in question was
moreover furnished with full powers TO conclude
commercial treaty with Hungary, or to enter into
any arrangement he might consider necessary or
useful to the interests of the United States

kindly voice Of age-who can hold cheer
ful converse with one whom years have de-
Iprived of charms-show me the man who
lis as willing to help the deformed who stand
in need OF help, as if the blush of Helen
,mantled on her cheek--show me the man
would no more look rudely at the poor girl
in the village than at the elegant and well
dressed lady in the saloon-show me the
man who treats unprotected maidenhood
,as he would the heiress, surrounded by the
powerful protection of rank, riches and
family--show me the man that abhors the
libertine's gibe, who shuns as blasphemer
the traducer of his mothers sex--who
scorns as he would coward the ridiculer
ofwoman's foibles, or the exposer of wo-
manly reputation--show me the man who
never forgets for an instant the delicacy,

TfanspIlnting Trees.

We find, in the Utica Gazette, facts
showing that il is not necessary to select
small trees for ransplanting, in order to
ensure their growth. Large trees may be
as successfully planted as small ones. The
mode and result of an experiment, made
by Massrs. Pomeroy and Dunon, of Utica,
are thus given: Those gentlemen trans
planted trees, comprising naples, elm,
beech. ETC., some thirty feet in height, which
were transplanted without being shorn OF
any OF their branches The process ofre-
moval was as follows: In the fall, before
the frost trench was dug around the trees
selected, from ten to fifteen feet in dame
Ter, aud the roots severed. In the winter,
when the ground was becoming solid from
freezing the trees were pulled out by the
aid Of oxen and levers, with the mass of
earth firmly attached to the roots. They
We're then transplanted erect on a strong
sled, built for the purpose, and set out.
These trees grew in open land, mile
and half from the city They put on
their foliage last spring as if wholly uncon.
scious that they were not still in ther native
soil, and the enterprising gentlemen, who
undertook this unusual course, are reward
ed with shade trees which by the old prac-
tice it would have required twenty years
10 produce.
This plan of transplanting should al.
ways be pursued, by those who build their
houses on exposed situations. unprotected
by standing trees.
