Concord, N. H., May 4th, 1857.
Ma. EDIroR One year has passed since l
left the pleasant town of Smyrna, endeared to
me by many pleasing associations, 10 dwell for
few years in New England. can assure
you that the change has been very great,-ex-
changing the level, mild and fertile country of
Delaware for the rough and almost barren gram
ite hills, and long, cold winters of New Hamp-
shire. The past winter was very severe one.
Snow commenced falling about the first of No.
vember, and we had good slcighing for about
four months, with scarcely any intermission.-
The thermometer at times, ranging from 80 TO
35 degrees below zero. The snow has dsap-
peared from this immediate vicinity, yet may
doubtless be found little north US. Last Mon
day we had quite a squall, which reminded us
of some of the heavy storms of last December; /;
it passed away, however, during the y;--th"
air being soft and ground damp, the snow did
not remain long.
Concord is very pleasantly situated about 70
miles northwest of Boston, and so west of
Portsmouth. The city is built upon the sandy
diluvium of the Merrimack. The bunk on the
east side is very high,-at one place it. rises
about 20 feet above the river. From the plain
above we have 6ne view of the Merrimack
valley, the city and surrounding country
Through the western part of the city, fine
grained white granite occasionally shows itself,
forming ridges Of hills rising several hundred
feet above the river. In one place an extensive
quarry has been worked for sometime. Large
quantities of stone have been furnished for the
use Of the vicinity, and for the Boston market
OF this the State House is built. and it has
been pronounced by the State Geoogist to be
the best specimen of granite rock that can be
shewn. Beds of mica slate appear also above
the surface. From this part of the city we
have distant view of the Keasarge mountain,
which is lofty and conspicuous elevation, ris-
ing 1890 feet higher :han the village at its
base, sr 3,067 feet above the level of the sea.
| Merrimack river, which runs through the
city, is a fresh-water stream, rising among the
Hills Of the central part Of the State, flows in
nearly southern direction through the State.
then takes northeasterly course through the
northeastern part Of Massachusetts, turning
in its course, it is said, more machinery than
any other river in the world. 1t is constantly
supplied from Winnipiseogee Lake, and gene,
rally, in the spring Of the year, rises very high
when the snow ON the mountains begins &c
melt.

The Ruby Wine.


He quaffed the ruby wine and said,
"Let others fear the bowl;
But as for me, fear it not, '-
Myself can control"
He qdaffed the sparkling wine and said,
'Tis mirth seek therein:
This is the source of festive Joy
And power the heart to win."
He quaffed the flowing wine and laughed
That the bowl should fear.
He said, 'Tis sorrows medicine
An antidote to care"
&
"Thou false, seductive, sparkling bowl!
Thee, fain would forsake,"
He said, but ah, the magic power
That tempts me to partake ~
Oh GOd :" he prayed, assistance give
My passions TO control;
WITHOUT thine aid ne'er can break
These felters from my soal!'
"I can't forbear-too late too late
Alas! too late ~ he cried.
ave tempted death, I've fixed my fate;
Oh, cursed bowl !''-Gnd died!

No MISTAKES REcTIFIED.-An intelligent
Irishma n, in the employ ofa firm on Milk street,
was sent, few days since, to bank in State
street, for the purpose Of obtaining a sum of
money on check The money was passed to
the Irishman, who did not count it until he was
in the street, when he discovered that he had
$40 bill too much. Actuated by desire that
did honor to his head and heart, he returned to
the bank and aecosted the telleri
"It's mistake you have made in giving me
the money, sure," he said awe make no mis-
takes, sir" haughtily replied the teller; "if
your money is not correct, you should have spo'
ken before you left the bank" sand you won't
correct it 7" asked Pat, with a doleful look

employers, and now when he goes to the bank
his money is counted twice for fear of mistakes

OF Human life seems OF inestimable- value,
when in danger of loss from any other cause
than that OF the rum traffic. A thousand people
gathered recently at the Suspension Bridge, and
were wild with excitement as an old man was
rescued from the rapids be ow. Yet that old
man might have threaded the streets OF that vl- ,
lage unnoticed, though murdered by inches
If found dead upon the sidewalk, the occurrence
would scarcely have excited a remark Had he
met death in the terrible form of delirilan tre8l-
ems no croud of one thousand persons would
have gathered to have watched the awful slrug-
gle for life. Aud yet how much less painful to
his family, to know that he died in the angry
current, battling like man for life Few of
that same thousand persons would gather to save =

THH CHuRcH IN CCNvULsIoNs.-An idea is
spreading in England, that a real effort is maj
king to Romanize the Episcopal Church, through
the agency of the Tractarian, or extreme High
Church clergy. That idea, however, has not
been much regarded by the public or the press,
az large, until the Privy Council the other day.
gave decision in the st Barnabas and St.

seem to show that the highest court of appeal,

A New Fashion AT BADEN-BADEN.-A new
custom introduced during the late season at
Baden Baden is that OF ladies who have no male
friends being attended by accompagneurs. -
officials wait upon the ladies' strictly in busi-
ness way, but are interchangeable IN attention, es-
corting them everywhere as cOmpanions rather
than servaHts. Madame's " dccompGg n0tetr."
carries her shawl, her little dog, her portemon-
naie, &C., observes everything, but understands
nothing she does not condescend to ex plain, and
shows the most perfect tact in the manner and
time of his going out and coming. His attend
ance causes no scandal, though it is necessary
for him 10 dress well and maintain a certain
gra witty and dignity of department, and to be
we'll acquainted with the manners Of the ars-
tocracy, so that he may never bo at a loss nor
emba ra ssed in the circles into Which he may
be introduced. A. knowledge OF cards is also
essential, as he sometimes may have TO repre-.
sent Madame in that capacity; and it is also de-
sirable that he shall understand music, in case
be should be called upon to accompany her on
the piano.
Smyrna times., 1857-05-13

SHILLINGs AND PENCE The improvement of
our ordinary currency, in the abolition of shl-
lings ard sixpences, causing some awkwardness
in making change, several of the large estab-
lishments where small sums are paid in-such
as restauTants-have changed their prices so as
to have the dnes paid readily in silver. Some
articles formerly sold at shilling are marked
at ten, others at fifteen cents, and the sxpenny
matters have generally come down to five cents.
A Charlotte russo is only ten cents, while ice
creamers are fifteen cents each, the difference
being made right by the accompaniment OF
cakes. In large quantities articles will no dOu t
bear the same price.
Some OF the stOrekeepers on a small scale
seem very unwilling to give up the four per
cent swindle. We heard one cody inform q
lady who complained that she DID not receive
the proper change, that " it was his rule only
allow twenty -four cents TO the quarter" and on
her objcctng, he remarked that "he did not
care for such skinAInt Customers" 1t is proba-
Bile that many among the poor are still defra I'D
ed IN their purchasers by the shadow and SEM
blance Of the old system. They should insist
on the price of everything in dSllars and cents,
and ignore entirely such things as pence, shll-
lings, &c. And no such imposition as the re-
lusa to allow more than twenty-fou< cents for
quarter should be submitted to- II is swim

We surrender our available space to
make room this morning for the decision OF
the Supreme Court of the United States, de-
livered by Chief Justice TAEEY, in the bred
Scott case. This is perhaps the most i'm
portant decision ever pronounced by the
Court. It completely upsets large por-
ton of the legislation of Congress, and re-
moves all excuse for future agitation of the
slavery question in that body. Two of the
Judges, MCLEAN and Curtis dissented
from the decision.
