The ST. Louis Revelle is publishing a
tale purporting to be some adventures in
the life of young physician, from, which
we take the following extract:
"a snow having fallen, the young folks
Of the village got up grand sleighing
party 10 a country tavern at some distance:
and the interesting widow Lampkin sat in
the same sleigh under the same buffalo
robe with myself
oh. oii-don't.' she exclaimed. as we
came to the first bridge, catching me by
the arm. and turning her yelled face to-
wards ne, while her little eyes twinkled
through the gauze in the moonlight.
Don't what!' asked, 'I'm not doing
anything
We'll, but thought you were going to
rake toll, replied Mrs. Lampkin.
TOLL | reloined. what's that2'
Now do tell!' exclaimed the widow, her
clear laugh rising above the music of the
bells. Doctor Mellows pretends that he
don't know what toll isl
Indeed don't them l said, laughing
in turn.
when they go a-sleighing. claim kiss as
ION When tney cross OlioSe! wen,
never!'
But shall tell il all7 The struggles Of the
widow to hold the veil were not sufficient
to tear it; and. somehow, when the veil
was removed, her face was turned directly
towards mine. and the snow glistening in
the moonlight and the horse trot,ing Oh of
himself, the toll was taken for the first
time in the life of Dr. Mellows.
Soon we come to long bridge. but the
widow said it was no use to resist and
she paid up as soon as she reached it.
But you wont take toll for every span.
will YOU doctor2' To which the only re-
ply was a practical negative to the ques-
ton.
Did you ever, reader, sieigh-ride with a
widow, and take 'toll' at bridge!'

Bnckwhcdt rithom GrH.-Did any
person who eats buckwheat cakes ever
have the good fortune to get any not con-
tanning a grit! 4 method not generally
known was lately stated to us by practi-
cal farmer. who says that the buckwheat
raised in this way is entirely free from the
difficulty.
The buckwheat is sowr at the usual
time. but before narrowing. bushel of
rye is sown with it TO the acre: thew both
come up together. and the buckwheat. be-
ing much the most rapid in growth, soon
obtains the ascendency, he rye ONLY
forming a smooth green carpet beneath.
which completely prevents The dashing Of
the grit of the soil upon the buckwhe a,
when it is cut. and otherwise keeps it
clean. After the crop of Buck xhea, is
removed, the rye obtains sufficient growth
before winter, and the next season affords
a good crop of itself Thus the buck
wheat is protected and two crops obtained
from a single seeding.-[Penn'a Cultiva-

a RARE QUILT.

One of the most elegant productions
that fell under our observation in the hall
appropriated to the handlwork of the la
dies at our late fair. was a quilt wrought
by Mrs Charles Taylor Of Chicago. Ii
was composed Of $500 pieces of silk,
each of which was about an inch square.
and all scwed with exceeding beauty and
neatness Its chief charm, however, was
the great skill evinced III the ingenious
blending Of colors. 50 as to produce a
proper effect in the representation OF va
rious figures which ornamented in every
part. y brilliant sun shone in the centre
the moon and stars beamed out from one
corner, while in another appeared a
storm in the heavens. with lowering
clouds and flashes OF lightning.
Around the border were various de-
signs Illustrative of the seasons and OF
the rapid growth of our Western country.
At one place appeared a barren heath.
with Indians and hunters roaming over il:
next. a military station, with the glorious
banner of our country streaming from the
flag staff; then city. and vessels gliding
i'm and out Of port. All these and many
other figures which we do not now remem-
Der. were brought out by the shades OF
silk use d. and in our opinion, the tout
ensemble was fully equal. if not superior.
10 any thing else on the ground. Ii un-
doubtedly cost an infinite deal Of labor.
and is well worthy of going down to sue
cessive generations as specimen OF the
taste evinced bv its fair contriver. both as
to design and workmanship. We are
proud OF any daughter of Michigan who
is competent to the production Of such a
work Who will equal her by a like ef-
fort at the next State fair!-[ Detroit Adv

law of the land. On the 9Th Of July, /
communicated 10 Congress the ratified
treaty, with such accompanying docu-
ments as were deemed material to foil
understanding uf the subject, to the end
that Congress might adopt the legisla-
lion necessary and proper TO carry The
treaty into effect. Neither the address
of the Commissioners, nor the reply Of
rthe President OF Mexico on the occasion
OF their presentation, nor the memoran-
dunn of conversations embraced in the
paper called Protocol, nor the CORES
pondence now sent, were communicated,
because, they were not regarded as in
any way material; and in This | con-
formed le the practice Of our govern
ment. 1t rarely. if ever, happens that
all the correspondence, and especially
'.the instructions to our ministers, is com.
municated Copies Of these papers are
now transmitted as being within the
resolutions Of the House, calling lor all
such correspondence as appertains to
Said treaty."
When these papers were received al
Washington, peace had been restored,
the first inslalment Of three millions paid
10 Mexico, the blockades were raised;
the city of Mexico evacuated, and our
troops on their return home. The war
was at an end, and the treaty as ratified
by the United States was binding on
both parties, and already executed in a
great degree, In this condition Of things,
1t was not competent for the President
alone, for the President and Senate OF
for the President, Senate, and House OF
Representatives combined, to abrogate
the treaty, to annul the peace, and res.
tore state of war, except by solemn
declaration ofwar.
Had the Protocol varied the treaty a:
amended by the Senate Of The United
States, i, would have had no binding
effect.
1t was obvious that the commissioner:
Of the United States did not regard the
Protocol as in any degree part of the
treaty, nor as modifying or altering tho
treaty as amended by. tie Senate. They
communicated i, as the substance ol
conversations held. after tie Mexican
Congress had ratified the treaty, ant
they knew that the approval of ,le
/ Mexican Congress was as essential tc
The validity Of a treaty in all its parts, a.
the advice and consent Of the Senate o
the United States. They knew, too
tha, they had no authority TO alter o.
modify the treaty in the form in whicl
1t had been ratified by the United States
but tina, if failing to procure the ratifica
lion of the Mexican government, other
