MISCELLANEOUS.

1 VIRGINIA OPERA-HoUsE.--There was
q fine audience at Frank Rivers entertain
ment last night, and several new features
introduced in the bill. Miss Flora Nc
Donald improves in her Scotch songs, and
is fast becoming one of the favorites of the
house. The Austins, in their military
drill and lightning Zouaye encounter, are
admirable. tits difficult to conceive of
anything finer. more brilliant, or really
dramatic in effect. They secure genuine
applause, and handsomely deserve it. The
Rigl girls, Betty and Emily, are perfection
in their art. Miss Emily was more taste
fully costumed last night. The zone be-
comes her. No nymph or goddess should be
without it. Their dancing is exquisitely
poetic and rhythmical in motion. We pity
the man or woman who cannot appreciate it
as such, or regard their dancing as a gem of
artistic beauty and perfection. If philos-
ophy is art allied to nature, much more is
the poetry of motion an art when SO ex-
quisitely and tastefully conformed to ma
ture. We are notsurprised that they were
engaged for over four hundred consecutive
nights at Niblo's Garden. Jersey Sam
still draws heavily on the applause of the
he use. Mckee is SUI gener's in that char
acter. 1t is his piece. Page plays the
cornet against the world. Miss Polly
DAILY, in the French Floaoer Girl, is just as

be. Her acting and singing are exquisite.

The Farmers Vocation Perpetual.

We need not fear that the human race
will ever cease to have q delight III the
cultivation of 1and-the raising of
grain and fruits-in planting trees.
Men always did delight in the pleasure
of agriculture. 1t has been the chosen
pursuit of the ablest and wisest men in
all ages. The pleasures of the hus-
bandman have been the theme of poets
and orators III every language and in
every land. These pleasures, Cicero
tells us, are not checked by any old
age, and make the nearest approach to
the life of a wise man. And he tells us
that Homer introduces Laertes, sooth-
ing the regret which he felt for his son,
by tilling the land and manuring it.
Marcus GURUS, after he had triumphed
over the Samnites, over the Sabines,
over Pyrrhus, spent the closing period
of his existence in agricultural pursuits.
Cincinnatus was at the pillow when it
was announced to him that he was made
Dictator. Good Almighty" says Lord
Bacon, "frst planted a garden; and
indeed it is the puresJ of pleasures; it
is the greatest refreshment to the spirits
of man, without which buildings and
palaces are but gross handiworks." Adj
olson says a garden was the habitation
of our first parents before the fall. 1t
is naturally apt to fill the mind with
calmness and tranquility, and to lay all
its turbulent passions at rest. The
philosopher Bolingbroke was never SO
happy, Pope tells us, as when among
the hay-makers on his farm. And not
alone in the refinements of rural life
will there be an interest. Farmers hold
years when they seem to be of less con-
sequence. Trade or manufactures may
allure some of them for time. But
there will ever be latent in every mans
breast a hope to end his days ON

So Nice to be Engaged !

Every one must have noticed the
great difference, as a general thing, be-
tween the conduct of the betrothed
man and the young betrothed woman.
He, the drawer and stronger of the two,
is utterly confused and bashful, and
seeks to make secret of the fact She,
on the contrary, tries to parade it, is
proud of it, assumes a certain air of
proprietorship over him, and offers to
her friends little delicate confidence as
to how nice it is to be engaged, and how
dreadfully jealous he is if she looks at
any one else. The cause of this is Just
one thing-the one is in love, the girl
is not.
have studied human nature, have
looked into the depths of hearts, l have
made man and woman the study of my
life, and I aver that the girl in love is
rarer than black rose. She simply
has for her lover the same feeling that
the young mother has for her baby.
She has an anxious desire to see to him
for life, to make sure that he is com
Portable, that his buttons are all right,
and that his food is what it ought to be.
She understands that he is in love with
her, and reioices in the knowledge. The
idea of losing his love is madness to
her, but of herself she does not under
stand it. A woman who is not selfish,
and greedy, and mean, who does not
smile on any one who can give her fine
clothes and grand establishment, over
flows with the mother-feeling all her
life She expends it on her dolls IN
childhood, ON her poodle, or her kitten,
or her canary afterward, and, when the
time comes, on her lover. Many man
would lose a great deal of his conceit
and vanity if he knew just how the girl
whom he supposed to be in love with
him really felt She, also, would be
surprised to hear that she was not in
love at all, but only delighted to have
some one in love with her

Hog Manure.

There is no manure made on the farm
equal to the excrements of swine. To
what purpos soever it may be applied it
will sustain its reputation as one of the
best fertilizers. A single hog during
the eighteen months of its existence
will make more than twenty dollars
worth of manure, if it be furnished
with the materials and all the urine
and excrement, saved; but to effect
this purpose the floor of the pen should
be made so that not particle of the
droppings can go to waste. For man
uring corn in the hill the manure made
by fattening hogs stands pre-emlnent
above all others kinds and the alb
sorbents best to make manure for this
purpose stand in point of excellence IN
the following order First sawdust !;
next dried swamp muck then leaves,
straw and other rough materials, which
must undergo fermentation before they
can be made conveniently available to
apply to corn-hills.
Farmers, try the hog on his own merits
give them plenty of sun but no rain.
Keep him decent by giving him plenti-
full supply of the raw material to work
upon; then apply the fruits of his labor
to the corn-crop, and his ghost Will be
seen in the luxuriant crop, while his
carcass is snugly slowed in the meat
barrel.

A Specimen Froude-ism.

Mr. Proud, after beginning with an
acknowledgment that Queen Elizabeth
failed in every duty that belonged to a
worthy ruler, goes on to say that it is
hard to say that in any peculiar instance
she could have acted differently. This
is the law which O'Neill rose in rebel
lion to lift from the shoulders of his
fellow-citizens. O'Neill, brought up in
the court of Elizabeth, brought up in
the knowledge of the chivalry of the
day, the moment his foot touched the
soil of his native island, rose at the
head of his people to fling off the yoke.
And Mr. Froude says what He tells
the story that wolf, treated as a dog,
is still a wolf-that is, an Irishman.
But when Robert Bruce, educated in
the same way, in the court of Edward,
flung away the gilded chains as soon as
he could, and drew the sword for
Scotland, and hurled defiance at Eng
land, then in the language of Mr. Froude,
he is patriot, and Scotland a model
kingdom. He never compares Bruce to
a wolf. And when William the Silent,
left the court of Spain, and the moment
he reached Holland, flung defiance at
Spain, he is not wolf. 1t is only an
Irishman who follows .humbly at a
great distance these illustrious examples
or preceding them sets them the exam
pie of their patriotic course, that is a
wolf treated as a.dog, and still remaining
wolf. - Wendell Philips.
