BELLS.

BELLS.
The old cathedral bell,
With Its deep and solemn knell
Is sounding on the air
With a voice deep rs despair,
Sadly, sadly,
Its voice is harsh and dread,
For behold king is dead;
And all the bells must toll
Dirges for the passing soul,
And cowled priests must tell
Masses, while ench convent cell
Echoes to the wondrous bell
Sadly, sadly.
Through the old house where dwell
Sounds the grand cathedral bell,
Working with its wondrous voice
Thoughts that make me to rejoice
Gladly, gladly.
From this town, antique and old,
With its sights strange to behold.
My thoughts wander astray,
To village far away.
And the city where dwell,
I forget, as round me swell
Tones of that old village bell,
Gladly, gladly.
My heart clies "all is WE'LL"
AS that little village bell
Seems 10 sound upon my ear,
With its ollen voice and dear.
Gladly, gladly.
Thus it rung when WAS we'd,
Thus, when first my true.lovc's head
Pressed my bosom, all his own;
But, dear God, it changed lis tone,
And death toll did it tell,
With its grand. slow tl,robling kncll
And hearts answered to the bell
Sadly, sadly.

INFLUENCE OF THE MOON ON PLANTS

I. Vines, if pruncd when tho moon is
increasing in light, will shoot out, spread,
and grow fast, particularly if done in tho
second quarter, because. rs tho light of the
moon increases, so does the sap in the tree.
2, Vines if pruned when the moon is
decreasing in light will not spread nor grow
fast, particularly lift be done during the last
quarter, because the sap decreases with the
light.
8. Timber cut down Wien tic moon is
increasing will soon become rotten, ,par,ic-
u''r'y "sho be in her second quarter.
4. Timber cut down when the moon il
decreasing, will last for years, and tho more
durable it will be ifcut down during the Ia, t
quarter.
5. Peas sown during the moons increase
will bloom to the last, and will bo fulI ,,l
rich in flavor; still more certain if sowp
during the second quarter.
| 6. Peas S own when the moon is fecroas-
ing in light, will bo just in the opposite con.
dition.
7. The age to which pomegranate will
''ve' depends on the moons age at the timo
OF planting; it will live just as many years
as the moon was days old.
8. Plants and shrubs shoot up and tako
little root, if planted when tic moon is de-
creaslng in light, and in the zodiacal signs,
Gemmini, Libra or Aquairius.
8. If planted when in tho signs Taurus
Virgo, or Caprcornus, they take deep
root, and do not grow tall.

AN AEMENIAN WEpp1Nu.-Wo were
much interested in the pcculiaritics of 3.
wedding ceremony, to which we were cour-
eously invited, at the house of a wealthy
Armenian. Every one may not know that
the selection of a wife, among tho Armenians
is made by the mother for her son, without
consulting either him or tho young Girl
chosen, the chance being generally that
they have never seen each other. They
marry at very early age, and never 90
into society until after marriage. when
the preIimnarics are arranged, and tho
day Tor the wedding appointed, the bctrolhe.l
attended by some faithful matron, goes to
the house other future husband, and there
the ceremony is performed. Tho choice of
the wife Is of the utmost importance 10 her
mother inlaw, with whom she is to abide.
The probability is, that sho will at least he
ofa docile disposition, since she is to be
subjected to the dominion of her new mother,
who is supposed to be weA.acquainted with
her qualifications for the coming years Of
obedience. For the first year the bird is
not allowed to speak above whisper to-
her mother,in-law, neither is she permitted
to go out, not even 10 church; nn'l If her
husband or any gentleman enter the room,
she turns her face from them, and she holds
no intercourse with her own family during
the first three or four weeks. The new
mother has unlimited CONTROL over every
thing, and if the husband die, she turns the
key upon all their affects, even the most
tritling articles Of the wardrobe. Yet,
notwithstanding SO many restrictions. ,bey
are said to bo very happy in their family. -

Mr.. Seward of New York, introduced bill
amending the existing acts on the slave trade.
