The Exhibition Palace of 1862.

This structure is to exceed its illustrious
predecessor in grandeur, in beauty of design,
and elegance of finish The main hall is to be
$50 feet long, 25Q feet wide, and 200 feet high !
The picture galleries, built of brick, will be
23O0 feet in length, 60 to 70 feet high and
epts are to be 22OO feet long, 80 feet wide, and
100 feet high. The sheds and other necessary
buildings are planned on corresponding scale
The whole work must be finished in less than
Que year from the present time, or by the 18th
of February next. The Guaranty Fund, which
amounts in all to $3.50 0O0 is headed by that
truly royal patron Of the Arts ond Sciences, the
Prince Consort, for So 900. 1t is stated by
competent authorities, that the entire structure
will cost $3.50 600, or 81 100000 1t is to be
located at South Kensington, The building
will be made suitable for permanently remain
in5 on the site, and will in every way outshine
the Crystal Palace of 1851, or any other struc-
ture cf modern times, A writer states that
the great hall will contain cubcal area more
than ten times rs large as that Of the great
transept of the Hyde Park building, and that it
would contain five of the centre transepts of
the present Crystal Palace it's hight will be
unparalleled. There is a vast space to he oc-
cupied by the worlds products, its inventions,
manufactures. and works of art.
America will be allotted all the room she can
creditably gil, and it is to be hoped that no
time will be lost in making preparations for
having the country we'll represented in all the
departments. Many manufacturers may prof
itably exhibit their goods to the millions that
will be gathered here from all parts Of the
world. 1t is, however, the American inventors
who will, reap the richest harvest of profit and
honor There are 4 thousand inventions in use
in America which are practically unknown in
Europe, that could form one Of the most attrac-
tive collections of the exhibition, and the pub
licity thus given them will amply reward the
exhibitors Aside from those directly interest
ed IN the exhibition, we shall expect tens of
thousands extra American visitors in 1862. Il
will be good time for London and the Allan
tic steamers. Even the Great Eastern will be
able to find profitable enploymons during the
exhibition year. London american.

Agricultural Prospects in England.

The London correspondent of the Ma.
tional IntelIigcnoer, writing March 30,
draws the following rather gloomy picture Of
corn prospects in England this season:
"Pcople fattcred themselves that, after
such wet year, the frost would bring
the soil into glorious condition of pulver-
ization. Now we are told that much of
the young wheat which withstood the immcd.
mediate Influence of the frost, by being
snow covered at first, is now found to be de-
stroyed by the singular expansion of the soil.
First soaked and thea frozen, the soil has
risen so as to cut the stocks of the tender
wheat.
A great breadth of ground had in conse.
quence to be resown; and again we are told
that the fortunes Of the farmers hang on
forward spring So far the spring has been
very boisterous, but the roaring winds are
certainly better than a steady rain of some
weeks, Or an obstinate frost sealing up the
earl y year. The lambing season was look ed
forward TO with e2gerness as the supplying
source Of nation and wool; but the season
has, in soma Of the midland and south ern
counties, been most untoward as respects both
ewes and lambs. In some districts the rot in
sheep has destroyed many Aocks. Thunder
and lightning in February have done as much
mischief as they usually do in July, and the
wind has been more than commonly destruct-
i've.
Still the spring has come, and brought
with it many favorable circumstances and all
its encouraging hopes. The gardeners are
now more discouraged than the farmers
Peaches, apricots pears and p!ums are kill
led, they tell u.s. down to the old wood and
cabbages, broccoli and lettuces are swept
swept from the kitchen garden, and cherries
are to be things hoped for, not seen." Still
the season is, Immediately around us at least,
earlier and much more promising than was
the last All the early flowers have appear
ed and fourished in their brief beauty. The
honey bees have been nearly entirely Destroy
ed and in many counties not one is suppos-
ed to. .lemain alive
The song Ct the bird is heard again in the
copsc, and the ROCKS are as noisy,as busy and
ousting in the avenue as ever Honeysuck.
les and hedge rose trees are full of tender
young leaves and incipent buds strawberries
promise well, and early peas are forward
The farmer admits tbat the fodder has lasted
better than he expected it would, and says if
he grass is not very backward he shall get
through. Nobody is sanguiuc about the
wheat harvest. We are assured that, under
he most favorable circumstances, it cannot
exceed an average crop ;let us hope Tor that"

Our Mothers.

Itwas pleasant morning in May. The
usual exercises Of the school we're about being
entered on, whcn our teacher was called from
the room. Alter an absence of few min
utcs, she returned, b,i' giDg with her l. little
girl, whom she introduced to us as Emma
Lee.
The child quietly took the place assigned
her, aud the duties OF the day proceeded as
usual.
Some weeks after this, before schooltime
one morning we were assembled on the green
enjoying ourselves in cur various games for
exercise. Helen Gray came up in great
haste, saying, " She had something to tell
U.S." With one accord our sports were aban-
doned, aud we crowded around her to listen.
She said that en- the coming Thursday she
would be eight years old, and her mother had
told her that she might invite all her school,
mates to take tea with her on that day.
"Now," said she, " be sure to ask your moth
ers, when you 60 home, if you may come
and we'll have rice time -
Just then the school-bei rang, and it pre-
vented any further remarks. Whilst study
ing my first lesson, happened to look over
towards Emma Lees desk, which was di.
rectly opposite mine, and | saw q tear drop
on the book over which she was bending her
head. Another and then another, fell. Stc
quietly wiped them away and continued
looking over her lesson. Her class was soon
called 10 rccite. Every question that was
put to her was answered with her usual cor
rectness.
When the play hour came of course the
birthday party was the general subject Of
conversation.
Alter few moments, happened to think
of Emma, aud on looking around, ! noticed
her at some distance from the rest Of us
alone.

sou was she wept that morning in school {?
" Why" sic replied "ahen Helen Gray

something sacred in her sorrow.
In few minutes she looked up and said

My heart smote me for [ knew [ had

She told me that she did not remember
her mother, as she had died when she was
but two years old.

Novel Reading.

The Pinsburg Advocate has an article on
this subject. from which we extract the fol-
lowing
The idea of religious novel is sole.

CORY is more descriptive and true-a truth
fgurativcly represented, implying something
not literally expires ed a religious novel is
equal to religious counterfeit giously
false and fictitious. We cannot conceive
that anything false or fictitious is rendered
any the better though qualified by the term
religious. IF false. it remains false; if fc-
titious, it remains so. Religion is neither
fictitious nor false
Then we insist npon the reading and Pc
rusal OF something true, real and substantial;
and, above all, would we recommend the
reading and study of the Bible Its truths
are important Let it take the place Of nov
els on the table in the hand, in The heart,
and in the life. 1t has none like it, and can
find no exposition nor illustration in novels.
There is no principle, tenet or theory in it
that novel can throw any light on. Error
cannot explain truth--fction cannot make
clear reality. The effect of novel reading is
seen in various directions from one stand
point. Wien we contemplate tme though
difficult to define, it is Of infinite importance,
and once gone ca mot be redeemed. Our flu,
ture happiness depends on how VIC employ it,
and it is criminal to abuse it by anything or
in any way. That which will not tend to
our highest and best interests ought to be
left undone We can conceive of no way in
which time is more lily improved and so
wantonly butchered as in novel reading
The sacred moments so inglorously consumed
in the pcrusa of fiction which renders no
intellectual Or moral improvement, are gone
only to be lamented, but not to be repaired
That which is designed for the highest pur-
poses and best employment ought never to be
trifingy used. On the manner in which We
spend time depends our Intellectual improve

Spring.

Spring.
A flush Of green is on the boughs,
Awarm breath panteth in the air,
And in he earth heart-pulse there
Throbs underneath the breast of snow.
Life is astr among the woods,
And by the moor, and by the stream,
The year, as from torpid dream,
Wakes in the sunshine on the buds;
Wakes up in music, as the song
or wood bird wild and loosen'd rill
More frequent from the windy hill
Come greening forest aises along;
Wakes up in beauty as The sheen
OF woodland pool the CLEAN receives
Through bright flowers, over braided leaves,
OF broken sunlights, golden green.
She sees the outlaw'd winter stay
Awhile, to gather after him
Snow robes frost-crystall ID diadem,
And then in soft showersspass away.
She could notSlove rough winter well,
Yet cannot choose hut mourn him now
So wears awhile on her young brow
His gift-a cleaning icicle.
Then turns her, loving, to the sun,
Upheaves her bosom's swell to his,
And in the JOY of his first kiss,
Forgets for aye that sterner one;
Old Winter's pledge from her he reaves-
That icy cold, though glittering spar
And zones her with green cyma,
And girdles round her brow with leaves.
The primrose and wood violet
He tangles in her shining hair,
And tea ches elfin breezes fair
To sing her some sweet canzone..
All promising long summer hours,
When she in his embrac, shall le
Under the broad dome of bright sky,
On mossy couches Starred with flowers.
Till she smiles back again to him
The beauty beaming from his face,
And robed in light, glows with the grace
OF Eden paaced cherubim.
0. Earth, thy growing loveliness
Aroun1 our very hearts has thrown
An undimmed joyance all its own,
And summed US o'er with happiness.
