THE CUBAN DELUsIoN.-Th he absurd idea that England is ready to assist the United States in the acquisition of Cuba, is still indulged in by some portion of our too incredulous press. This pleasant deuluson rests upon the buncombe speech of lord in Parliament to the effect that Spain must behave with more sense and decency, or England would cease to protect her fine island of Cuba from the lascivious longings of Brother Jonathan.
 There is but one way in which England can help us to Cuba, and that is to take it herself as she has reason enough to do, from Spain, and hand it over to us in consideration of the debt due her by Spain. Napoleon the Third will no, consent to do this and England cannot, will not and dare not touch Cuba without it. live ever get Cuba, it must be by American means, and through strictly independent course of policy There is sure, short, and honest way ol acquiring Cuba, and we may try it some day soon; but it will not be through the love or helr of England d-States

A Profitable Forty Acre Farm.

To show what much labor on little land,, accomplishes, we present brief statement drawn from the Hampshire county (Mass) Az ricultural Society's transactions, there given in the statement of MT. Stebbns, of South Deer field, on entering his farm for the premium of the Society.
 The farm in question contains fl acres, ten of it worn out sandy land when it came into his possession, over twenty years ago. But he "resolved to have better farm" To this sandy field (three acres the first year) he ap- piled clay at the rate of fifty loads per acre, followed by twenty-five loads of manure and POO lbs of plaster This was all ploughed in together, the land planted to corn, and fair crop was the result. After corn, oats were sown,

 Dreams sweet As the olden summers golden that have rolled on
 Still yet feet Then from Alden came maiden-( beauty laden
 Girl was she;) Glorious creature. each fair feature love teacher
 Unto me, " Close beside men-who dare chide me? Here love
 Hide thee; It contesses how her tresses with carresses
 Touched my face. There's no praising the amazing bright eyes gazing
 Into mine. Lips whose meetnsss, whose repleteness of all sweetness
 Were divine But she waited, meditated: I-elated-
 Gently enid. Smiling, told her no one older would behold her. If she did. Nearer, nearer, softer, clearer warmer dearer.
 Came her breath Then forgetting, all regretting, angels letting

From the Washington States Billy Bowlegs and Col. Rector.

BY T. P, OF BALTIMORE. How Billy Bowlegs and his people were il duced to emigrate from Florida after twen years of warfare and the expenditure of 6f million dollars Here is to Colonel Rector,
 A gentleman and friend The hero who from Florida,
 Did Billy Bowlegs send He did what General Harney,
 In vain essayed to do
 With several thousand fighting men, And million dollars, too. He did it with pipe of peace, Smoked in piece of pipe May peace of mind be always his, And his years be full and ripe! The Colonel went from Washington, And sat down in the glades; The joyous boys he took with him, Were his only kind of blades. When Billy heard he had arrived, lie was away from home But said the Colonel need not crow, He soon would cut his comb. The Colonel did not mind the least His saying he'd do so; For Bowlegs is a gentleman,
 And It was not |" C0nanle I faut." Bill hid himself behind tree,
 Of the Colonel took a view, Ard he thought to cut the Cots. comb Was more than he could do. He saw the Colouel's portly form, He saw his broad white hat; He said this is no fighting man,
 l ne'er saw one like that. lie sad he was gentleman,
 Not made of |" tIss and feathers" And that he looked as though he'd back A friend all sorts of weathers. He said, as did the coon with Scott, better had come down. For think more of that Colonels smile Than of Generel Harney's frown. l will not try to cut his comb:
 know where grow some sticks I'll go and cut walking cane,
 And send 1t out Mix With cane in hand, he walked in camp, Our noble friend to meet; The Colonel kindly shook his head And said, Fye come to treat. Says Bill those stupid soldiers,
 Who every day we beat, To treat have never offered once, But asked Us to retreat But you're the very man for me, Says Billy, with a wink Says the Colonel, Billy Pm your friend What will you have to drink Says Billy, 1 have seen "real pain"- Of Champagne" only heard; So Colonel, if you don't object,
 We'll say that Mum's" the word. The Colonel answered, I've DO Num-" But Heidsick is admired. Says Bill, Pve played at hide and seek Until I'm sick and tired. But if you have the Piper brand, A glass of it we'll try, The Piper's music sounds right sweet When one is feeling dry. Then, said the Col Eve "Gold Lack" Quoth Billy that will do; For of gold have lack'd so much To me its nothing new. The Colonel brought the bottle out The cork went with pop; bill raised the glass up to his lips, And drained it every drop. He says: Sir, you have treated me; Pm ready now to treat The Colonel pointed to a stump Friend Bowlegs take seat. Then Bowlegs told him how he thought He'd acted very clever And he was ready now to leave With him the Gades forever. Then honor to our noble friend,
 Who by the arts of peace, And not by war, did Florida
 From hostile foes release.
