What He Might Have Been.

j. Il. Holland. editor OF the Springfield
Mass. Republican, has been rusticating
up in Vermont, and enjoying himself
among the farmers. He thus writes to his
paper upon what might have been his fate
"a happier one by far than is to be expe-
rienced in the editorial cffice:
"Imagine your correspondent imagining
the kind of life he might have led (and
came very near leading, for that matter,
among the hills as farmer. He would
have grown up stalwsrt and strong. with
horny hands and face as black as he ace
of spades. He would have taught school
winters, as he did worked on the farm
summers, and gone out haying for fifteen
days in July at dollar day, and taken
for pay the iron-work and running gear of
a wagon. At two:and-twenty, or therea-
bouts, he would have begun to pay atten.

and that girl with the spit curl would have

ONO LIFE INSURANCE AND TRUST CON-
PANY.-We refer the reader to the proceed
ings of meeting held yesterday afternoon
in reference to this Institution. The reso-
lutions do no more Than speak the almost
universal sentiment of our business COM
munity. The ACTION of the Board of Trus-
tees has not an honest look, and in our
opinion, carries on its face so fraudulent an
intent as should induce the Courts, to
which an application might be made, to set
aside the assignment, and appoint Commits
sioners to settle the affairs of the bank.
The end is not yet, and, if the ears of
the Board are not made to ting'e by a swim

COUNTY FAIRS TURNED INTO RACE CoUR-
sEs.--I have several times, lately, heard it
remarked that our Agricultural Societies
are rather degenerating from their former
responsibility and have suffered themselves
10 be converted into kind of Jockey club
for races in ne-horse sulkies and two horse
wagons.
was last fail at Auburn, at what was
called the Agricultural Fair; but it turned
out to be a Jockey race course, for black
legs and white legs, and very little atten-
ton was given to the real business of the
Society--the agricultural and household
exhibition.
was present last month ct Waterloo, at
what was called "a show of horses, but
this also turned out to be q Jockey race
course.
Now, 1t strikes me that all this is wrong,
and an evasion of the wholesome law pro-
hibiting races. These races at the county
Fairs are an eYcrescence upon the proper
business of the agricultural shows, and
their whole effect upon tfe community is
dcmoralizing. N Y.
ANOTHER SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.--An-
other link of submarine telegraphic com
munication has just been laid. France is
now united to her colony of Algeria. Hith-
erto sea distance of 1856 miles between
Cagliari, in Sardinia, and the Algerine
coast has remained to be completed. Not
withstandlng the shortness of the distance
the depth at one part is equal 10 the great
est depth of the Atlantic plateau. The
cable, however, was paid out rapidly and
without accident, and little doubt is enter
tanned of its permanent safety. Newell IL
Co., of Birkenhead, Liverpool, were the
manufacturers, and they had contracted to
take al! the risk of the operation. The
length of line used was l72 miles, and its
cost f5O,OOO. Its construction was diff
ferent in some important respects from
that of the Atlantic cable, and Newell &,
Co, consider that a considerable economy
might have been effected in the latter.

BARBARA,S COURTSHIP

IT'S just three month and exc a day,
Since in the meadows raking hay
On looking up Glanced to see
The manor's lord, young Arnold Lee,
With a loose hand on the rein,
Riding slowly down the lane.
As l gazed with earnest look
On his face, as on book,
As if conscious of the gaze
Suddenly he turned the rays
OF his brilliant eyes on me;
Then | looked down hastily,
While my heart, like Gagged bird,
Fluttered till it might be heard.
Foolish, foolish, Barbara.
We had never met before,
He had been so long away,
Visiting some foreign shore,
had heard my father say.
What in truth was he to me,
Rich and handsome Arnold Lee?
Fate had placed Us far apart;
Why, then, did my restless heart
Fintter when his careless glance
Fell on me by merest chance?
Foolish, foolish, Barbara.
There are faces-are there mott
That can never be forgot.
Looks that, seen but once, impress
With peculiar vividness:
So it was with Arnold Lee.
Why it was, | cannot say
That through all the live-long day
He seemed ever near to me,
While raked, as in a dream,
Now the same place o'er and Ger,
Till my little sister child,
And with full eyes open wide,
Much in wonder, gently cried,
"Why, what ails thee, Barbara 2"
am in the fields again:
'Tis pleasant day in June,
All the sOngsters are i'll tune,
Pouring out their matin hymn.
All at once consciou. thrill
Led me, half against my will,
To look up. Abashed see
HIS dark eyes full fixed ON me.
What he said do not know,
But his voice was soft and low
AS he spoke, in careless chat,
Now of this and now of that,
While the murmurous waves of sound
Waited me bliss profound.
Foolish, foolish Barbara
Am waking Scarce | know
If | wake, or if l dream,
So unreal all things seem;
Yet | could not well foregO
This sweet dream, if dream itbc,
That has brought such joy to me.
And when |, with cheeks a-glow,
Told him that it was not meet
He should wed with one SO low,
Then he said, in accents sweet,
"Far be thoughts of rank or pelf;
Dear, love thee for tlIyself +"
Happy, happy Barbara.
