Soil AMI Climate Of the Southwest
Shore Of Lake Superior,

Extract from the report of the Bay
field LNceum, ON the agricultural pIOduc.
tion of that vicinity, in In Pointc coun-
ty:
vegetables remain green from the
18th May to 10th October, making our
grazing season five months fully equal TO
that OF the Middle States. Oar winters
are somewhat longer than in those States =:
but our summers are nearly If fnot quite,
as long. This, together with the unilor-
nifty of temperature in winter and the
heaIthiulucss Of the climate, both for man
and cattle demonstrates the fact tha., at
no distant day, this is destined to be a
fine stock growing country
Extract from @ letter written by q cler,
gyman in Bayfield,, dated January Sth
1859;
"If the people abroad had proper i'm
pressions concerning the soil climate &C.,
Of this region, the population would rap
idly increase. Many have an idea that
this is a barren, inhospitablc, and cold re-
gon, unfit for for human habltation.-
This is a mistake. Wedo not fell the cold
as in Pennsylvania, nor do we we fell chill
~ as there. The winter is lovely and du-
ldblt. never saw Sutl hFtulllul winter
weather, so much sunshine, no mud, nor
slush, such magnificent sunrise and sun
set scenes. One would rather he out than

a gentleman, now residing in Bayfield,,
formerly resident of the southern part
of Ohio, stated that for two successive sea.
sons he left his former residence late in
Autumn, after the vegetation had been
killed by the frost, and that when he ar
rivedin Bayfield, the grass there was green
and the cattle was still grazing. His opin.
ion was, that frost was from ten days to
three weeks later in Bayfield, than in south
ern Ohio.

IHE RELATION OF THE SExEs.-Strance.
and passing strange, that the relation be-
tween the two sexes, the passion of love,
in short should not be taken into deeper
consideration by our teachers and our leg
islators. People educate and legslate as
if there was no such thing in the world
but ask tho priest, ask the physician-let
them reveal the amount of moral and
physical results from this one cause. Must
love be always discussed in blank verse
as if it were u thing to be played in TRACE
dies or sung in songs--a subject for pretty
poems and weak novels, and had nothing
to do with the prosaic current ofour every
day existence, or moral welfare? Must
love be ever treated with profaneDess, as q
mere illusion or with coarseness, as a
mere impulse! or with fear as a mere dis.
ease or with shame, as a mere weakness?
or with levity, as a mere accident? Where
as, 1t IS a great mystery, and great ne.
cessity, lying at the foundation of human
existence, morality and happiness--mys.
terious, universal inevitable as DEATH
Why, then, should love DO treated less
seriously than death 1t is as serious a
thing.-lfrS. Jameson.

A PARRY CoNcEGT.-We Yesterday saw.
IN tho parlor Of friend, very beautiful
conceit. 1t is, of course, the fancy of 4
lady, and consists of the burr of a pine
tree placed in a wine glass half full of
water, and from between the different lay
ors of the burr are shooting forth green
blades--brght, beautiful, refreshing. For
little thing, We have seen nothing that
so pleased us by its beauty and novelty.
And the secret is this: the burr was found
dried and open; the different circles were
sprinkled with grass seed, and it was pla
ced in a wiue glass, with water in as above.
IN few days the moisture and nourish-
ment gayo the burr life and health, tho
different circles closed and buried within
themselves the grass seed, and few days
more gave to the seed also, life, sprout and
growth and now a myramid of living
green, beau fully relieved by the sombre
hue of the burr, is the result-as pretty
and novel q parlor ornament as we have
for long while seen. We do not know
whether the idea originated with tho
lady. but we do know that its success il
beautilul.--Th2J Times.

GENEVIEVE.
ny SAMUEL TAYLOR coLERIDGE,

All thoughts, all passions, all delights,
Whatever stirs this mortal frame,
All are but ministers of Love,
And feed his sacred fame.
Of in my waking dreams do
Live Ger again that happy hour,
When midway on the mount lay
Beside the ruined tower.
The moonshine stealing DER the scene,
Had blended with the lights of eyej
And she was there, my hope, my joy,
Myown dear Geneyieye
She leaned against the armed man,
The statue of the armed knight:
She stood and listened to my harp
Amid the lingering light.
Few sorrows hath she of her own,
Nv hope, my joy, my Geneyieye
She loves me best whenere l sing
The songs that make her grieye.
Iplayed a soft and doleful air,
sang and old and moving story
An old rnde song that fttcd well
The ruin wild and hoary.
She listened with fitting blush,
With dowcast eyes and modest grace;
For we'll she knew. could not choose,
But gaze upon her face,
told her of the Knight, that woro
Upon fis shield u burning brand
And that for ten long years he wooed
The lady of the Land.
told her how he pined and, alb
The low. the deep, the pleading tone,
With which l sang anothers love,
Interpreted ny own.
She listened with Gitting blush,
With dowucast eyes and modest grace
And she forgaye me that gazed
Too fondly on her face
But when / told the cruel scorn
Which crazed this bold and lovely hnlsht
And that he crossed the mountain woods
Nor rested day nor night;
That sometimes from the savage den,
And sometimes from the darksome shade,
And sometimes starting up at once,
In green and sunny glade.
There cane, and looked him in the face,
Au angel beautiful and bright;
And that he knew it was' fined,
This miserable knight
And how, unknowing what he did,
He eaped amid murderous band,
And saved from outrage worse than death
The Lady Of the Land.
And how she wept and clasped his knees,
And how she tended him in vain
And ever strOye to eXpiate
The scorn that crazed her brain;
And that she nursed him in n cave;
And how his madness went away
When on the yellow forest leaves,
dying man he lay.
His dying words-But when l reached
That teuderest strain of all the ditty,
Ny faltering voice aud pausing harp
Disturbed her soul with pity
All impulses Of soul and sense
Had thrilled my guileless Geneyieye,
The music and the dOleiul tale,
The rich and balmy eve;
And hopes, and fears that kindle hope,
An undstinguishable throng!
And gentle wishes long subdued,
subdued aud cherished long
She wept with pity and delight;
She blushed with love and maiden shame
And like the murmer Of a dream,
heard breathe my name.
Her bosom heaved-she stepped aside
As conscious Of my love, she stepped
Then suddenly with timorous eye
She fed to me and wept.
She half enclosed me in her arms,
She pressed me with a meek embrace;
And bending back her head, looked up,
And gazed upon my face.
Twas partly love, and partly fear,
And partly twas bashful art,
Iha' might rather feel than see
The swelling Of her heart.
Gained her fears; and she was calm,
and told her love with virgin pride;
