the streets of the city, if they may be so
called, Tie saw a splendidly embroidered
piecg qf §jlk in one of the shqp windows.
He stopped a), the shop' door, and ordered
one of his retinue to purchase and carry it
to his hotel. TV hen he arrived there he
found that it had been stolen from his ser
vant. Upqq freafiRg ifejp expressed his
gfjfprjse tnat, under so active and vigilant
a government as that of Venice, such a
theft should have beep gommifted iu oppn

on by an officer of the gtpjte, citing him to
appear before a tribunal which was then
sitting. a little, the oftccr as

table, at w)iich sat three judges in sable at

awful voice, as to who he was, hig name,
his condition and his motive for visiting

terrifying solemnity. Though a prince,
and possessing supreme authority in his

which had risen in the neighborhood of_

they have never since regained their for

Extraordinary Scenes iu New York.
Never was such a s;atc of things witness
ed in the city of New York mi at [fris tiufq.
A gentleman of frachiqoud who has jus[ re
turned frqlu the great metropolis of the
Empire State, says that the vast multitude
of unemployed workmen and ]afrorera of
that city, §{,imnlated by the agrarian doc
trines which their orators propound, are
holding the whole population of New York,
who possess anything, iu absolute fear aud
dread of them. Many of the wealthy peo
ple are in such tejpqr qf qn attack; that
the} r employ guarefs in their houses to pro
tect tfrem and their property iu case of an
outbreak. Many of the large stores (we
suppose the provision stores) are guarded
iu like manner. Other and extraordinary
means ape qjopted to conciliate the excited
and embittered multitude. Several goq-
men of wealth, among them Stuart ofthe
Marble Palace, and a German gentleman,
Mr. Liudeumuller, have each established
pijvate soup houses, to stop the fierce and
hungry mouths which are clamoring on
every side. It is said tfrat Stuart supoliqg
food to as many as a hundred persons a
day. The rich of New York aro contribu
ting freely, and money, they say, flows like
water. Go into close and hard-hearted
poor, an'd tjie strong frox opens a* if by

plied he; I think well of it. Give mq
that and I will have hope; I h^ve signe^
lodges OTCI- and uiaiu, only tjO
haps I went too far. For if thq property
was equally distributed, tfrere are lazy peo
ple, who would not work, ana who would
spend their money foolishly, and between
the indolence of some, the folly of others,
aud tfre. qYo^eac.hiug of rascals, things
would soon get back to their presen,t situa
tion. And what would we do then ?”
“Make another distribution,” shouted Pat
with an oath.
What makes the matter worse in New
is, tfraf tbfi large efra^ites iffriefr aj.e now
given to propitiate the multitude, wall soup
pQtne to be considered as a right, so that if
they should be withheld or even diminish
ed, there will be danger of a riot.

the only one which is regularly iuoroasing

from the fact that in 1842, 617,648 boxes
were exported; and iq 1847, l,274,81fr.

Drunkenness.—Watson, an old Puri
tan divine, thus wrote of this crying sin :
* There is no sin which doth more efface
God’s image yhiyn; cjnynkenness. It yfrs-
giyiseth a peisqiyj yiyyd doth even unman
him. Drfihkcnhess makes him have the
throat of a fish, the belly of a swine, and
the head of an ass. Drunkenness js the
shame of nature, thq extingqisfrer of rea-
sop, tfre shipwreck 1 of chastity, and the
murder, of conscience. Drunkenness is
hurtful to the body—the cup kills more
than the cannon ; it eause.tfr cjpopsies, ea-
tarrfrg," apoplexies; it fiyes wiffr
fire and the Iqgg with water, and turns tn e
body into a hospital. But the greatest hurt
it doth is to the soul; excess of wine breeds
the worm of conscience. The drunkard is
seldom reclamed by repentance; and the
ground of it is partly because fry |fris sin
(hq s-. q ? es are so enchanted, thq Upasoq so
impaired, and lust so inflamed ; and part
ly it is judicial—the drunkard being so be
sotted by his sin, God saith of him, as .of
Ephraim, he is joined to his cups, let him
alqnq : ?ef frw drown himself in fire.’

Agricultural
Manuring.
m C.qmpq^ freaps and all barnynr),
manure, ought now to be frransfered to tne
field, with all possible despatch. It ys better
with almost all manure of this kind, to
have them depesifrbct \n yfre earth long
enqugh for fermentation to subside and
yncortybrafrion to fre made before tfre eyop

nityon ^friefr we have' before given.' ‘ Do
notallow your manure to lose'ifrs mbsl
valuable properties, by lying exposed in
siqalf piies in the field terrain, ' wmd auq

Every day of such exposure is wj&ting
its fertilizing properties by the constant
escape of ammonia. A want of proper

A Good Garden
Nq frranch of husbandly is more iyeg-

who live too fafr froth ‘ market to indulge
often in the luxury of fresfr toqafr are sHl|
content to dine on'salt pork or beef^withi
the addition of potatoes only rather than
devote a few hours to the cultivation of a
kitchen garden. But health and' good
taste demand that a farmer’s table should
contain q full yayiqty of vegetables.—
Radishes, ’ iefrfqce, cauliflowers, beans,
peas, tomatoes, beeta tqrqips, and indeed
many other should be found there in tfro
