"Rock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee :"
Sang the lady, s,ft and low,
And her voice's gentle fow
Rose upon the evening air
With tnat sweet and solemn prayer
"Kock OF Ages, cleft ior ne,

Yet she sang as OF she had
When her heart was gay and glad,
Sang because sne felt alone,
San. because her soul had grown
Weary with the tedious day;
Sang, to while the hours away,
Rock OF Ages, cleft for me,

Al the suggestion Of Count Ramelli, an
eminent agriculturist of Italy, our Minister
at Rome, Mr.. Marsh, has advised the Agri-
cultural Department at Washington of a
proposed International Exhibition Of Reap
ing and Moving Machines, to be held near
Rome in the months Of May, June and July
next. A hope is expressed that, as the
Paris Exhibition will no doubt attract many
constructors of agricultural implements, the
opportunity will be improved, not only for
the purpose Of presenting and of testing
American machines, but of studying means
to adapt them moro perfectly to the modes
of cultivation in Italy, the conditions oil
which cannot be thoroughly understood
from mere descriptions. American agricul-
tural machines have been already introduced
into Northern Italy, and they have been
highly approved; and it is thought, by Mr..
Marsh and other competent Judges. that the
use of such machines might be largely ex-
tended in the central and southern parts of
tho ti,,dom

Ii TIE national bankrupt law Is repealed,
as now seems certain, the only defence
against revival OF the old ami oiious grab
law in this State, will be the State lnsol-
vency law, passed by the last legislature, in
view of the prospect of a repeal of the
national law, While the national law re-
mains in force this is held in allegiance but
on the repeal of the United States statute,
the State law will at once come into life
Whether it will give us a state of things
which will be any improvement on the
present. may well be doubted. Our State
law is eumbrous affair. based on the United
States statute, and retaining some of the
Objectionable features of the national law.
1t is inferior to the national law because its
operation as to persons and property is nee
essarily restricted by the State limits.
Just how it will work remains to be deter
mined, but it will not be surprising if
year or two of the state of confusion result
ing from the change, in this and other
States, should make business men every
where anxious to return to general statute,
with provisions reducing the present inOrdi-
nate expense of bankruptcy proceedings and
safeguards against some Of the abuses of the
present system.

The author of the pretended interview
with Senator ConkliDg is said to be Mr..
Mines, who was employed last Fall to go to
Utica and edit the Republican, new journal
established there by Mr.. Conkling's friends.
When Mr.. Conkling visited Utica to attend
his nephew's wedding, he invited several
gentlemen to dine al. his house, and among
them was this Mines. Subsequently, Mines
was discharged from the editorshiD Of the
Utica Republican, and he then elaborated
what he heard at Mr.. COnklins' ) table, with,
perhaps, the chat of some of that gentleman's
friends, into the extended and doubtless
largely false report which has been published
BY the World The World itself announces
that Mr.. Conkling-forbade the publication
and the printing of the interview, under all
the circumstances, appears to have been a
particularly scaly performance on the part
of both reporter and newspaper.

With sunlight on the sprngng grass and tender

Let your singing hirdSisng loudly, and your flowers

So may you serve the lady Of my love,

Or your sobbng east wind may be bringing rainy

Each is II Nelcnme day, for 1t takes me nearer May,
When my UEly love and shall be together !
