The London correspondent of the Philadel-
phia North An'eircan says;
Should war, unhappily be commenced. il

Every modern improvement has been introduc

brazen airlettes, which give to the balls a
precision never before attained.
They have constructed near Marseiles large
number of newly improved small armed steam
ers, very hat, carrying one gun each, on n swiv-
el, and the gun and gunners are protected by
an iron shed, so that the enemies balls must
glide off on either side, without doing anv harm
Horses have been purchased IN such great num-
hers that vast temporary stalls lave been erect
ed in several dIstirtcs of France Thirty thous-
and pairs of shoes and thirty thousand overcoats
have just been ordered in France, for the Sar-
dInian army. With the vast armies of France
and Austria, the terrible war ndterie which

dogs of war once let loose, all Europe Will be
involved. no wonder the people shudder and

Little Feet on the Fender.

In my heart there liveth a picture
of kitchen rude and old
Where the freight ,ripped DER the rafters,
And redeemed the roofs brown mould;
Gil'ins the steam from the kettle
That hummed on the footw hearth,
Throughout all the liyelong evening
It's measures Of drowsy uairth.
Because Of the three light shadows
That frescoed that rude old room
Because Or the voices echoed
U-p mid the rafter's gloom
Because Of the feet on the fender,
six restless, white little feet
The thoughts Of that dear old kitchen
Are to me so fres.i and sweet.
When then the first dash on the window
Told Of the coming rain.
Oh wheIeer were fair young faces
That crowded against the pane:
What bits Of freight stealing
Their dimpled cheeks between.
Went struggling out in the darkness
IN shreds OF silver sheen.
Two orthe feet grew weary,
One dreary, dismal day,
Ana We tied them with snow-white ribbons,
Leaving him the by the way.
There fresh 'ay on the fender
That weary, wintry night,
For the four little feet had tracked it
From the grave on the bright hills hight.
Oh Why on this darksome evening,
This evening Of rain and sleet,
Rest my feet an alone the hearth-stone
oh where are those other feet:
are they treading the pathway of virtue
That AT bring Us together above:
OR have tuey made steps that viii damPen

Gallatlne, Saline Williamson, Union, Jackson.
Johnson Pope. Hardin. Massac, Pulaski and Al

from an intimate knowledge Of twenty years
residence IN tn country, and we have again and

climate soil for the growth of fruit Especially

above. Peaches have not failed on some of the
high localities, once in twenty years-whllst ali
over the country they will generally hit at least
four out OF five years.
