The Poetry of Agriculture.

The principles of Agriculture are ex~ ceedingly simple. That they might be made so, God bimself was the first grea, planter. He wrote it's laws. visible. in th, brightest, lovliest and most sintelligibl, characters, everywhere, upon the broas bosom of the liberal earth in greenes
 leaves, in delicate fruits, in beguiling ane delicate aowersl ] But he does not con
 tent himself with this alone. He be; slows the heritage along with the ex. ample. He prepares the garden and tht home, before he creates the being who is to possess them. He fills them with all those objects of sense and sentiment which are to supply his moral and phys
 ical necessities. Birds sing in the boughs above him. odors blossom in the air, and fruits and flowers cover the air with . glory 10 which that of Solo, mon. in all bis magni6cence, was vain and valuless. To His Land we owe these fair groves, these tall ranks of ma ies.ic trees, these deep forests. these broad plains covered with yerdure, and these mighty arteries of flood and river. which wind them along, beautifying them with the lovIiest inequalities, and irsi- gating them with seasonable fertilization. Thus did the Almi ghiy planter dedicate the great plantation to the use of iha. various family which was to folIow.-
 His home preparsd-supplied with res sources, adorned with every variety of fruit and flower. and checkered with abundance. man is conducted within its pleasant limits. and ordained its culla- vaior under the very eye and sanction of Heaven. The angels of Heaven des seend upon iis hills. God himself ape pears within it's valleys at noonday--its groves arc instinct with life and purity,
 and the blessed stars rise at night above
 the celestial mountains to keep watch over its consecrated interests. Its geor-
 geous forests. its broad savannahs. it's
 levels of flood and pariiie are surrounded
 into the hands of the wonderfully ia ! vofed. the new created heir of Heaven
 The bird and the beast are made bis tributaries. and taught to obey him. :! The fowl summons him at morning to his labors, and the evening chant of the bird warns him 10 repose. The OK sub- miis his neck to the yoke ;; the horse moves at his bidding in the plough and the tolls of all are rendered sacred and successful by the gentle showers, and genial sunshsne which descend from Heaven. to ripenthe grain in its scason and 10 make earth pleascnt with iss fruits. sas NJ a N 's..ss {. s.'1

ATruIe Knight. :

Though he lived and died among us,
 Yet his name may be enrolled :. With the knights whose deeds of daring Ancient chronicles have told. sssEl Still a slripling, he encountered Y al5 Poverty, and struggled. long, Gathering force from every effort, /, Till he knew his arm was strong. Then his heart and life he offered si3a To his radiant mistress, Truth; asi Never thought, or dream, or fallerlng, ,, Marred the promise of his youth. And he, rode forth 10 defend her, t., And her peerless worth proclaim , Challenging each recreant doubter s2 ssi Who aspersed her spotless name. First upon his path stood ignorance, at Hideous in his brut al might, e. ,5,,,s Hard the blows and long the battle
 Ere the monster took to flight. Then, with light and fearless spirit, Prejudice he dared to brave,
 Hunting back the lying craven To her black sulphureous cave.. Followed by his servile minions,
 That old giant, Custom, roses Yet he toe at last was conquered
 By the good Knights weighty blows. Then he turned. and flushed with victory, Struck upon the brazen shield s, g Of the worlds great King, Obj nion, And defied him to Ase field
 Once again he rose conquercr,
 And though wounded in the fight, With dying smile of triumph
 Saw that Truth had gained her right. On his failing ear re-echoing Came the shouting round her throne; Little cared he that no future - With her name would link his own. Spent with many hard-foughs battle
 Slowly ebbed his life away, Z. And the crowd that focked to greet her Trampled on him where he lay. {. Gathering all his strength. he saw her ia Crowned, and reigning in her pride Looked his last upon her beauty,
 Raised his eyes to God, and died.

MiscelianN.
The sovereigns of Europe.

Nicholas, Emperor of Russia, is fifty nine years old, six feet and one inch high, erect and soldier like in form, naughty in demeanor, proud of his person, and when young. was decidedly handsome. He is intelligent, shrewd, stem. resolute, and by no means wanting in personal cour- age. He is gcod disciplinarian, but no. skillful commander in war, as was pro-
 we'd in his younger days. His informa- ton in regard to the condition and policy of all nations is minute and extensive, his plans vast, his ambition boundless. In the last respect he truly represents the Russian character and sentiment. The same disposition prevails in Russia now to pour down on the more fair and wealthy and sunny realms of the south and west of Europe, as in the days when the Roman Empire was overwhelmed.
 Frederick William. King of Prussia. is the brother in law of the Czar, but very different kind of man. He is about fifty years of age, ,despotic in feelings, but somewhat liberal by compulsion. He would gladly join the Emperor of Rus sia in his plans. if he dared but his peo. pie are otherwise inclined. He is fat. . good looking, tolerably good natured, and somewhat stupid sort of a man. Should the present war continue for some years. he will probably be found on the side of Russia. His present declaration for neutrality is merely designed to gain lime to watch the course of events foi one campaign. and then shape his course according 10 results. V af@ Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria. IS twenty -three years of age. and has suc- ceeded in raising small mostachios for his handsome face. and small loan for his exhausted treasury. He has ahigh. broad forehead, good form. about five feet Gen inches in height, and is an expert and ex> cellent horseman. He exhibits no signs of exttao,di ary administrative capacity, and will probably add li.tle'to the repu. tation of the house of Hapsburg. He fell in love with a young lady last fall, "ai frs, sight," and was recently mar. ,ied to her. His Government is almost bankrupt in pecuniary resources bis people are discontented and his Empire is exposed to desperate peril between the conlending interests and nations now at war on tie continent of Europe. He is greatly indebted to the Emperor of Rus- sia, and would join him in the partition of Turkey, but foi the dread of the ven- gesnce of the Western Powers, and tiie opposition of his own people. His posi- iion is perilous. turn which way be will and neutrality is almost impossible.
 Abdul Medjid, Sultan of Turkey, is but thi,ty-th,ee years Cf age. though he has one daughter married, and two more betroshed. He is rather small in stature, with sallow, sad. and mild expression of countenance. He is in favor of reforms in his Empire is just and merciful in his rule. and delights more in superintend> ing his schools and public improvements than in marshaling bis armies and navies for battle; but forced into war for the existence of his empire, as Ls is, he will doubtless maintain the ancient reputation
