The Yankee Bugle-Player.

Some ten or twelve years since, an A
merican bugle-player concluded to make a
trip to England, to learn by personal obser-
vation the state of instrumental music in
that country A day or two after his arri-
val in London, lin which place he was al
most total stranger,) he saw an ADVERTISE
ment in the "Times," for a bugle player
in one one of the regiments of the Guards.
Our American presented himself the next
morning to the band master of the regi-
ment, and introduced himself, by saying
that he had seen an advertisement for a
bugle-player, and he had come to offer him
self as candidate for that situation.
The band.master, not thinking that the
str niger presented very promising appear
ance, treated him rather cavalier'y, but fl
nally told him that there would be a rehear

timating at the same time that his qnalltica
tous must be very high to obtai the place.
Nothing daunted, our American made his
appearance with his E fiat bugIe in his hand.
and took his place in the band.
The rehearsal commenced with new
piece containing solo for the cIarionet,
which the performer Oh that instrument
found great difficulty in executing.
After several failures, the Yankee bugle-
player requested permission of the band
master to play the solo upon the bugie.
The band-master laughed at him, and
ridcuIed the idea of his being able to per-
form it upon that instrument. However,
the American being very sanguine, consent
to the trial was finally obtained, and the
band having performed the prelude, the So
10 was commenced; but scarcely had our
hero sounded half dozen no.as, when ev-
erybody else ceased playing, and listened
with wonder to the magic notes
The solo was concluded, having been ex-
ecuted to perfection. A universal storm Of
applause shook the building
The band-master rushing up to the per-
former, aud grasping his hand, exclaimed
"who are you?" MY name is Kendall,
replied the Yankee.

Sweet as chimes Of low bells peaiins,
When eve fades away;
Sad as winds at night that moan'
Through The heath, DER mountains lone,
Come the thoughts of days now gone
On manhood's memory.
As the sunbe ans from the heaven
Hide at eve then light;
As the bells when fades the even
Peal not on the night;
As the night winds cease to sigh
When the rain falls from the sky,
Pass the thoughts of days gone by
From ages memory.
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,
And the bells give sweet voiced warning
To the world to wake
Soon tho winds shall freshly breathe
O'er the mountains purple heath;

Management of Soils.

We fluid short article under the above
caption in the Cottage Gardner The sug-
geslions which it contains are important.
The writer says:
"a soil would never get exhausted, if
managed with skill, but would continue to
improve in depth and fertility, in proportion
to the industry bestowed upon it. The food
of the plants. it is true, may be exhausted
from the soil by a repetition of cropping
with any family of plants, il we neglect the
application of such fertilizers as may have
been taken from the soil by that family !;
but no part of the growing time is required
for the sol, to rest, or to be fallow, if Judi
oiously managed by successive varying of
the crops, or by supplying such food as may
be compensation for what has been taken
off by the previous crop. The first object
to be attained for securing profitable re-
turn of produce from the soil must be thor
