Gam I Bound to take Coffns?"

Mr.. C, a veteran lawyer ofSyr-
acuse, used to tell a story of a client,
an impetuous old farmer, BY the name
of Merrick, who had a difficulty with
a cabinet maker. As was usual in
such cases, the matter excited a great
deal Of interest among the neigbbors.
who scverally allied themselves with
one or the other of the contending par
ties. At length, however, to the mu-
tual disappointment Of the allies, the
principles offered a compromise, by
which Merrck was to take in full of
all demands, the cabinet makers note
for forty dollars, at six months, "pay1-
Tile in cabinet ma,,e."
Lawyer C was called upon to
draft the necessary papers to consum-
mate the settlement, which, having
been duly executed and delivered, the
client was apprised that the matter
was fully and amicabIy arranged
C saw no more of the parties un-
til about six months after, when one
morning, just as he was opening his
office, old Merrick rode furiously up.
dismounted, and rushed in, defianilv
exclaiming: II cay, Squire, am

Walkers Affairs Com. Pauiding's
Instructions,

WASHINGTON, December 20.-Let-
tess have been received by the Navy
Department from Com. Paulding, in
which he refer, the Department to
former le11e.5. He SAYS hs could not
regard Walker and his followers other
than as outlaws, who had escaped the
vigilance Of our officers, and had left
our shores for rapine and murder, and
he therefore saw no other course but
to send them home. He also said he
was fully aware Of the responsibility
that he had taken upon himself, and
asks justification by our government.
The Cabinet were considering the
matter to- day, and thought that Com,
Paulding was not strictly justifable
by his Instructions, but think his con
duct palliated by circumstances which
he details.
1t is reported that Walker will be
released from arrest and be prosecu-
ted for violation OF the neutrality laws.
Capt. EngIe had an interview with
the President and detailed to him the
circumstance of Walkers capture.
Walker arrived in Washington this
evening and was accompanied by
Marshall Renders, Of New York, and
was received with cheers by large
concourfe of people as he entered
Browns Hotel.
WASHINGTON, December 30.-It is
positively asserted that Commodore
Pauldlng will be recalled. Walker
means to ask the Government to re-
ihstate him in the position and place
from which Paulding took him. He
was surrendered to Secretary Cas-,
who declined having anything to do
with him, except by orders from ju-
iicia. AUTHORITY.

Ey Sweetest Song tor Thee.

BY sALLIE A. REEDY.
There's not careless wind that blows
But has its own beloved rose.
And when the West foretslls the hour
1t HES to that remembsred bower,
And in some nyrlle's dewy shade
Begins its gentle serensde.
And though at morn upon the hills
1t trfles With the mountain rills.
And whispers to each aower it meets
Some gentle word that's full Of sweets,
Still--still the dssres! song it knows
Is saved for that beloved rose.
There's not star in yon blue sky
But downward turns listless eye,
Until its wandering glances rest
On that blue wave il loves the best.
Then it begins to tell once more
Things sweet as il unheard before.
The beauties Of the land may smile
That star may turn and sport awhile.
With those soft dews that wet the cheel
OF flowers that with their perfume speak
And though ils glance may idly seem
To have for all loving beam.
The Grst, the brightest. and the last
On that blue wave is fondly cast.
have m essage for the rose
And for that wave that gently flows,
And they will tell TO wind and star
or one sweet love that's brighter far
Than aught that winds or stars Of HEAVIER
Tc flowers or waves have ever given.
And thus where e'er thy home may be
I'll waf my sweetest song to thee.

Circular to Agricultural Societies.

By Instructions from tho Agricultu
raj Bureau, am directed to call your
attention to the provisions Of the Law
establishing the same. 1t is the earn
est desire Of the Bureau, that each so.
cisty now in operation, ehall re-or'
ganize, SO as to avail itself Of the pro
visions of the act, and in other coun-
tries where none exist, steps shall i'm
mediatsly be taken to establish che
same.
In pursuance OF the duty before me,
| may be allowed to say, that nothing
has been done, by Mississippi Legis-
lation for many years, Of moro vital
consequence to our domestic interests,
than putting into operation this new
department Of State government; and
if tits duly appreciated by the farmers,
and others, for whose benefit it was
created, it will, ere long. introduce .
new era in the history Of Mississippi
Agriculture and Mechanical Industry,
with their CO. ordinate branches.
Agriculture, as an individual pur-
suit, requires no aid or protection from
the State, but there are interests con-
nected with it, which individual en-
terpri.e cannot reach or control, no
matter how vigorously prosecuted. To
obviate this difficulty, and represent
the collective benefits of Agriculture,
the Legislature established the Bureau,
through which individuals and COM
binations may act in developing the
vast and varied resources Of the State,
as they are applicable to the me
chanies and farmers interest. Much,
however, rs may be expected from
the Bureau, it is evident to every dis
cerning mind, that the main hope Of
its success and usefulness, depends
upon the number and activity of coun-
ty associations. As we'll might We
lock for q deep and swelling stream,
when the rivulets that supply it are
dried up, as to expect Of thei Bureau
great results, when county societies
are few in number and sluggish in
action.
The Bureau would therefore re-
commend monthly meetings, or meet
ings IS often rs circumstances would
justify, and have lectures read, and
reports made, upon given subjects.
Such meetings, attended with addrss-
ses and discussions also, must elicit .
vast amount Of valuable information,
upon all the various and diversifisd
interests of the farm, tae garden, and
the workshop, which, embodied in
published reports thre' the Bureau.
will eventually lead to . discovery Of
our true policy in oil these pursuits.
Independent ofthese advantages, de-
rived from frequent meetings, the 90
eiety will be kept in working order,
and when the fairs approach, and
committees are appointed, there will
be no want Of slscrity or willingness
on the par, OF any in serving.
Among the fret things after organi- |
cation the Beard would recommend
that premium lists be made out and
published. The object Of awarding |
premiums, is not simply to fiatter the
pride of those who get them, but to
elicit from the suceessfal competitors,
the mode and manner Of cultivation,
if it be = product Of the soil; or its sd- |
over those now in use, If il
be IN agricultural implement, or ma
chine used in plantation economy.
