How TO WIN WoMAN.-A man may flatter
himself as he pleases but he will find that the
women have more understanding in their own
affairs than we have, and women of spirit are
not to be won by mourners. He that can keep
handsomely within rules, and support the car
rage of companion to his mistress, is much
more likely to prevail than he who let's her see
the whole relish of his life depends upon her.
lfpossibe, therefore, divert your mistress rather
than sigh for her.-Steele.

SHOCKING CRUELTY.--A few days since, Mr..
L. Willets, who resides at Birmingham, Oak
land county, who was on his way from the Utica
Insane Asylum, having in charge his son, lad
of eighteen years, who had lately been dis
charged from that institution as incurable,
stepped out at a station on the Central line OF
railroad through New York, to obtain some re-
freshments for the lad, leaving him sitting
quietly on his seat
On returning, Mr.. Willets found the train in
motion, and got into the car behind the one
which he left; here he found IN acquaintance,
with whom he conversed for minute or two,
and then passed on to the car in which he had
left his son. On reaching it he found the seat
vacant and the poor boy gone.
Upon making inquiry, the conductor told him
that he had put young man off the train, some
distance back, who would not pay his fare, nor
give any account Of himself
The anxious father stopped at the next sta
ton, returned and found the mangled body of
his son lying on the track!
He had paid his own fare, and that of his
son, to Buffalo.-Detroi AdV., AprI 81.

FoREsTs.-In this country our timber forests
have been esteemed of small value, and an in
calculable amount of timber trees have been
wasted in years back. Gradually, however,
timber of all descriptions is growing scarcer and
more valuable, and before many years. the man
who wishes to leave a fortune for his children
and grandchildren can do it in no surer way
than by planting suitable land at easily acces-
sible points, with good timber trees. Some of
the largest fortunes of the English nobility have
been realized from forests planted by their an
cestors. A great deal has been written by men
who knew nothing about the matter, in relation
to the parks and preserved forests Of the Eng
lish nobility, as if they occupied land merely
for the pleasure of the rich, which ought to be
thrown open to cultivation. In conversation
With an intelligent Englishman, some time ago,
we were assured by him that the country, as
well as the present owners of these valuable
| estates, owed debt of gratitude to those who
| planted and first preserved the grounds. In
many cases lands, which were of little value
half century ago, were enclosed and planted
with timber trees, and are now of inestimabe
value, yielding some of the finest timber in the
world, and affording the richest grazing for
cattle.
The wealthiest of the nobility receive cattle
into these enclosures for pasture, and in many
of these most valuable and beautiful enclosures
you will see, all around the gates and on the
outer row of trees, painted notices that a GER
tain number of animals can be pastured on the
ground.
The immense commercial and naval marine
of England, as well as its dense population, has
rendered timber of all kinds one Of the most
valuable and saleable products Of the soil and
it is preserved and watched as carefully as
gold.
| The amount of timber alone consumed in
England is estimated at S1l5, ,000,000 a year,
about equal to the whole value of the foreign
imports of the United States; and of this amount
the utmost efforts of the farmers and the nobil-
ity are only able to supply about $50 00O, 900 of
homegrown, leaving S35, ,000,0 600 in value to
be imported. Forty oaks are computed to an
acre in these planted and preserved forests,
which are appraised at $4,000 on an average

HONOR TO JENNY LIND!

The JENNY LIND CONCERT AUcTIoN.--Agree-
ably to public announcements Front street thea
ire was thrown open yesterday morning for the
purpose of aifording the citizens an opportunity
OF obtaining such seats as they might desire at
the Jenny Lind concert which was to have
taken place last evening, but has been post
| poned until to morrow evening AT 10 O'clock
the time appointed for the sale Of tickets. sew
eral hundreds were present, and shortly after.
| Messrs Gibson x Co., the auctioneer. pro-
ceeded to sell the choice seats to the highest
| bidders. The seats in the centre of the par
| quette were first offered, number of which
| obtained each premium of from SO cents to
vi on the regular price, which is $5. The front
rows OF seats in the dress circle were next of
fered, and sold rapidly at premium of from
90 cents to $2 rs; and, when these had been
| disposed of others in the same circle and the
family circle also were sold at q premium o.
shade less. The bidding was very spirited, and
the seats sold faster than at the previous con-
certs. Itwas then announced that the remain
ing seats could be obtained at the regular fixed
prices, when there was general rush to the
stand, and purchasers were supplied freely.
In justice to Mr. Barnum and Miss Lind, it
should be stated that previous to the SALE that
gentleman appeared at the procenium, and
after justifying the mode of disposing of the
tickets the only plan to avoid speculation,
&C., proceeded to express himself upon en-
trely different subject, viz. the charities of Miss
Lind, and in doing so observed that she had
not authorized nor would approve the announce
ment; yet he conceived it to be an act of JUS
tice even to her, that the facts should be known.
Miss Lind, during her previous visit to this
city, expressly desired that the entire proceeds
of one concert should be properly applied to the
wants of various charitable institutions in Bal
timore. The last concert of the series was fixed
upon for this purpose, but in consequence of
receiving telegraph despatch from Charleston,
which informed them they had barely time to
fulfil previous engagements there and elsewhere,
before the sailing of the Isabel for Havana, they
were obliged to leave Baltimore in such a hurry
as to cut off not only the charity concert, but
two more beside, which they intended to give.
Upon their return, Md'lle Lind had determined
that the first concert should be for public cha
rites, and it was arranged between them that
the proceeds of the first night should be for the
charities of Baltimore. Indeed, upon their ar
rival in the city on Monday evening, she told
him that it must be particularly understood and
observed, with the additional remark however,
that she did not wish it to be stated in the ad-
vertisements, thus manifesting her characteris-
tic modesty. When Mr.. Barnum had conclu-
ded, universal burst of applause succeeded the
gratifying announcement

TOILET OF THE BALL.

Translated for the American Telegraph by NJ. EP.]
+ The first day of my arrival at Paris they
drew from me two teeth. The next day they
put on me two thousand curl papers All, this
was true suffering. They took me to the ball,
and was delighted to 90. Alas, did not un-
derstand it. They had told me only of dances
and refreshments, and / awaited the day Of the
BAH with impatience. AT last it arrived, and
they dressed me as shepherdess. ! thought
the dress well chosen, as it seemed to me ex-
cellent for dancing But they have droll idea
of shepherdesses in Paris. AT first they placed
on my head an enormous cap, and fastened it
with pins as long as the arm above it they
placed large hat, and upon the hat gauze and
ribbons, and above the ribbons half-dozen
feathers, of which the smallest were at least
two feet high. l was sinking under the bur-
den. l could neither move nor turn my head
Afterwards they put on me dress covered with
garlands and said to me, "Take care of your
rouge, and avoid discomposing your head-dress
and creasing your dress, and amuse yourself
we'll" Icould scarcely walk. They established
me upon seat, where they told me to wait till
some one came to ask me to dance. / waited a
long time had so sad an air that no one
thought that had the least desire to dance.
Atlast however, was asked, but the place was
taken, and returned to my seat. found that
| the young ladies were much worse than impo
lite; they were cruel they looked at me from
head to foot with stare-an ugly stare,
assure you--and then they laughed among them
selves. / was, without doubt, ridiculous bu
| was frightened and i'll at ease. Ought the
not to have pitied and excused me? The hea
was nsufferable in the hall and although i'm
movable upon my seat, l was drenched witt
