handsome octave of near seven hundred pages,
well got up, with index; and is from the pub
fishing establishment of Charles Scribner, N. 7.
It consists of thirty lectures, on such points as
these Origin of Speech, Practical Uses OF
Etymology, Vocabulary Of the. English Lam
guage, Interjectons, Grammatical infections,
English as affected by the Art Of Printing,
Rhyme, Synonyms, Principles Of Translation,
English Bible, English language in America
The great scholarship Of Mr.. Marsh, long since
widely known, is brought to the illustration Of
these and kindred points and the result is an
amount of well-digested information nowhere
else brought together. We find by way of fault,
that the author is far more familiar with New
England poets than he is with others of far great
er genius. E. g., in illustration Of Line-rhyme
and Assonance, he ignores the very best exam,
pies in the language-in Poe's Poems-while he
draws freely from Longfellow's Miles standish.
But that is natural in a New Englander. Mr..
Marsh is Vermonter. t-,sf: -.

body knows the plot of Norma? Among the
master touches Of Parod7s Norma are the inter-
view between Pallione and the mother Of his

can ever forget some thrilling words; as, Sbrig-

on the Oath of next May, the anniversary Of the
Queens birthday. They will proceed to Brus-
sells on the bridal tour. King LEOPOLD, the
great uncle of the bride, is preparing to receive
them in the Belgian capital. ALICE MAUDE Ma

The Cheraw Gazette brings US an account
of the Lecture, delivered in that place few days

we take great pleasure in copying it:
LECTURE BEFORE OUR LYoEUM.-A lecture was
delivered before our Lyceum, on Tuesday even

lumbia A fair audience was in attendance, and
the marked attention must have been gratifying
to the gifted lecturer. We believe it was Mr..
Dayidson's first effort of this kind, and yet we
have listened to few lecturers that furnished more
food for thought and reflection. His subject was
an interesting one of itself, but doubly so from
the genius and learning brought to bear upon its
elucidation. Chow we read one another" has

and comprehensive minds, but how few have

DIFFICULTY QUESTION ANSWERED.

Car any one tell why, when Eve was manu-
featured from one of Adams ribs, a hired
girl was not made at the same time to wait on
her? W. can, easy Because Adam never
came whining to Eve with a ragged stocking
to be darned, collar string to be sewed on, or

CoRS FoDDER-CUT 1T Now.-Now is the
time to cut up corn fodder. If cut before
the ear or grain forms, cattle will eat the stalk
entire, butts and all but if left until the grain
or ear is formed, the cattle will eat very little
if any below the ear. Again, if corn fodder is
now cut, the heat of the sun for the coming
two weeks will dry it, so that il can be stacked
away without risk of heating.
Use a cradle in cutting if a common grain
cradle, make a new head piece and spread the
out clogging. There is a regular corn cradle
made, and we presume for sale by all agricul-
tural implement dealers, and if any one has
ten or more acres Of fodder, It viii pay well to
purchase one.

that existed at the North. Mr.. Seward, once

Republican. At the North, whole slabs of the
American party have united with the new or

enthusiasm which furnishes proof OF Its transi-
tory nature. In proportion to its ardor will be
Ehortness of its life. Its only aim is the pre-
hibition Of slavery in the Territories, and even
if it should succeed in accomplishing this OBJ

force and vitality would be exhausted in the
effort and it would declipS"
