The Vienna Exhibition.

In letter to General Thomas B.

wants some American pines, especially
thS Washington, to add TO gIoup or
American trees now growing hire,
which he proposes TO transplant to the
Pratel. My impression Is that ii we
have such al exhibition IL all respects
as America ought to make, 1t Will give a
great impulse To emigration on the part
OF the better claSS-skilied Workmen,
small farmers with money, and gradually
Otmen notcultureand science. And there
can be nothing more suggestive of
fertile soil and pleasant nome than
generous supply OF fruits and Vtge-
tables. The Baron hopes for rich as-
sortMents Of ores from the different
States, and aS the time is so short for
individual contribution, why ShCuld
not each State and each city contribute
something on its own account? \ Sug-

probably secure general acquiescence
IN the plan, especially il it were under

people in regard to America. He has

Mud Pies.

Under the apple tree, spreading and thick.
HAPPY with only pan and a stick,
On the soft grass in the shadow that lies
our little Fanny is making mud pies.
On her brown apron and bright drooping head
showers OF pink and white blossoms are shed:
1led 10 branch that seems meant lust for that
dances and tiutters her little straw hat.
Ddsh' tull OF Joy In the bright summer day.
Leaiousiy chases the robins away,
BarKs at the squirrels, or snaps at the flies
All the while Fanny is making mud pies
SnnShlne and soft summer breezes astir
"mle she Is busy, are busy with her:
cheeks rosy, glowing, and bright sparkling ewes
Bring they to Fanny, while making mud pies.
Dollies and playthings are all laid away.
Not to come out till the next rainy day,
Under the blue Of these sweet summer skies.
Nothlngs SO pleasant as making mud pies.
Gravely she stirs, with serious look
Making believe she's a true pastry-cook:
Sundry brown splaSheS on forehead and ewes
Show that our Fanny is making mud pies
But all the soil of her innocent play
Clean soap and water will soon wash away:
Many pleasure in daintier guise,
Leaves darker traces Than Fanny's mud pies.
