This event opened a new chapter in the social eponomy and moral character of the institution. The affection's, hopes, sympa thies and enjoymnets of these boys all cluj- tered around this family life.

I hat first day’s work ails a triumph to them ; and when they grouped around the lire pi night t!te ambition pf new ideas came iu- i to their JfCluets. Tliora were toyjs. yunfied for rooting out tjje beries and bushes and there were boys of the eircle that would undertake to make them. They went so far as to speake of .making a tool-house nay even a shop, where they would work- in stormy weather. The oldest hot s were sure they cbuld build it alone. At the end of the first week they had made a year’s progress in this new life, find its hopes aud expectations, The earth mound quickly disappeared ; apd the faith that they could no something aud own some thing grew daily within them. . So eager did they become tp accomplish this under taking stys the first Report of his insti tution that they frequently worked, by lan tern-light in the evening roofing up bushes and trees in spite of snow and rain; The winter days and nights caum, and when they could not" prosecute their out door work, their uuited genious contrived employment within; They were --taught knitting and sewing, and other arts of do mestic industry; and in' the' long winter evenings, after recreating an hour in- read ing, writing, or ciphering, they gathered into a circle on the floor—,-a little hand of pj-oss»legged taijors—and plied their needles of every, size, on thick, coarse stockings, frocks, trowsers’ &c., and some the awl on slioes, half wood and half leather, for the future inmates of their home, who might be brought in from such places as they themselves once inhabited. This was a work and a thought that brought kiud feel ings into their hearts; and many a one of the group wondered how such and such a boy, who used to ouddle down with him of a frosty night, on a door stone of . the city, would feel in the frock aud trowsers he had under way. Then came the spring with its 'music and beauty, and birds aud bees, and all 4hing green and gladsome; and with it. came to the boy-family of the r a like has a now life of lahar, hope, expectation, and plans. During the winter, their number had increasd; aud their beds we re foo thick under (he ropf; and their ideas had taken a house building turn during the win ter evenings ; and some of the older boys had tried their hands atthe model qf a cot tage; and all had come to the faith that they could build a house large enough to live ip. The plan was drawn opt, first on the floor with chalk, then with ink on pa per, and they longed for the*winter to be the original, and adniirahlc nevertheless be discerned and many afford imitations and arrangements to those who are seeking to enlighten the ignorant and reform t!ie lowest grades of a vicious popu- Jr-'for ,v cV/r.*.->»«->. • * “ The Ron hr Ecus” of the city of Ham burg was established in 18o3. The literal meaning of his appellation, as nearly as it can be-given in English is, “The Rough House,” ora House of Refuge ' for tjje rudest-, most hoppfeas little vagabond of. beggary and vice-that can be fount! in the lowest lanes and sewers of poverty an d sin. in this institution these young beings whose every day of life has been a year of wretchedness aud crime are brought under the action of two cardinal princi pies—the law; of kindness and the influ ence of family society. , As an illustration of the power of these-principles in trans forming what would seem to be the very jnjsJetocs of humanity into trees bearing the best fruits of virtue, this institution is unequalled ; although several of the kfod have recently sprung up in different .coun tries. A cursory glance at its history will suffice to delineate the principal fea tures of its character. On the 1st, of November, 1833, J. II Wi- efierfi gu earnest man whose heart is #i Hy ing" gospel of Christian love to his kind took possession with his family of a small one story, straw-roofed house fronting du a nar row lane leading out of the village of Horn about three miles from Hamburg. This little building itself was a vagabond house; having been what would have been called a Gum hole”—a resort for the lowest and noi- sist kind of drinkers and smokers. About HU acre qf laud covered with sprawling bushes ditches hillocks, &c., formed with the smutty cottage the foundation of the new institution which was to solve another great problem in the mysteries of humanity No great place or prison-looking building hud been erected by the State for this expe riment of benevolence. None was contem plated or desired. Frpm the beginning to the end it was to be a cottage esta bljsment and this one by the lane side, with its run*- seethed tobacco-smoked wads and roof of black mouldering straw was all the heroic- founder asked for the working out of his scheme of philanthropy, After the lapse of a week spent in purifying the little cot tage and preparing it for a home for the little unfortunate beings who were to be atliered to its hearth three were brought in from the lairs pn the frosty pavement or dq.or stones of the city. In the course of a few weeks fourteen of these young vagabonds were introduced varying from . .. _ _ . . five to eighteen years of age yet all old • F 01le > with its frost and ice, that they might in the experience of wretchedness aud Lfoak^ground with their spades and picks vice. Each had become a hardened vete ran in some iniquitous practice or malacio- ps disposition ; and as such had been pronounced or regarded as incorrigible.— Yearly all of them had been Left or trained to beggary lying stealing and every vicious habit. One of tljese adepts in crime had been convicted.of ninety-three thefts; apd yet fie was only ip his twelfth yea? J They had been treated or regarded as a species of human vermin, baffling the powers of the authorities to suppose. They had slept under earts in door-ways herding with swine and and cattle by night when the begging or thieving hours were rast Such were the boys that found themselves looking at each other in wonder or sur prise the first evening they gathered a- Found the hearth-stone pf their new home There was no illusion about the sudden transformation of their experience. There was that bland, benevolent 7»an in their tony from the old Ranhe IJaus. g from top to bottom witfi eyer.- midst,with his kind eyes and voice, look- greens and wreaths of flowers j an<] gg the for cellars. As soon -as the snow banks disappeared, they fell* to, with ambition which took hold of the youngest of them, to build a house for theipselvea ail alone. As soon as dayijght came, and as long as it lasted, they were seen and heard at then- labor. “ On the-llth of March,” says the first report, “ the foundation of this the first Kinderhaus, (children house,) was laid.— All the earth work on this “ Swiss house,” as it w r as named, had been performed by the boys. They dug the cellar, carted the bricks, prepared the mortar; aud now the walls began to rise, and their joy to r{sp.~ Every boy, great or small, held on to the work, longer and later, jiptil on the 10th of April, the whole-company hyng a wreath of triumph on the gable of the house. A few more busy days, and the building was completed, and ready for the reception of the first colon ~ ' It was hun Tims lins t-lfo most ^interesting, institu tion expanded gradually into a large cot- tage-vjilage of boy families, each having their own separate house and home; anil t}lCU’ fatljerly brother, a young man of 'twenty or twenty-five years of age. Hav- ingMetermined to visit this establishment-,'I walked out to it.'from Hamburg,- a distance of about three miles, aud was liufot' kindly received by one of the young men of the institution. He took hie through all the work shops and dwelling houses, their little chapel, the wash and dri fog-house, their printing office and bake Louse, &c.— 11 was a truly beautiiul spectacle, to see these young beings, once so hopeless, wretched and vicious, nqw so Fuji of hope and gladness. There they were parceled into little groups’ busy at every species of. utilitarian handicraft.- They arc all shoe makers, tailors, blacksmiths,'. carpgnfors, Ac., by turns, Fora certain length ' ef time a troop of them may be found mount ed on shaving horses, aud showing them selves a brave little band of coopers; then they may bo aoott sitting oros3-leggetl in a ring in' a large platform, plying their needles on garments for the whole commu nity, and for future co'mess, v For it is the motive of this economy, not only to teach them all kinds of handicraft,-but also tq discipline'their minds to the habit of work ing for each other. -There are-now about seventy boys' and twenty-five girls in this establishment, both sides, varying in age from eight to sixteen years,, ■ ■ . Constanji.iiijple ' The city occupies ti triangular- promote tory of land between the Bosphorus and its inlet the Golden Lorn. It is -about three miles and a half in length and from one to four riiiles hi breadth and is enelosr ed fa a triple range- of walls twelve or thirteen miles in circumference, and entered by .twentyeight gates. ' It is built on an undulating declivity,' rising towards the lurid side. Extenially it lias an - imposi ng appearance, with its mo.squQS,. cupolas, minaretes, and cypresses, and its ports crowded with shipping ; but; internally it mostly consists of a labyrinth of ill-pHved crooked dirty lanes, and low built small houses of wood or rough hewn stone;;— There is a number of public fountains,, which amply supply the city with water.-— Its population is estimated at 400,000, including Gelata and-Para, and it j§ com posed of about 150,000 Greeks and Arme nians, 20,000 Europeans, 60,000 Jews, arid the remainder Turks and Armeni ans. There are between 300 and 400 mosques in the city and suburbs, 40 Mahommedau colleges 87 hospitals, 29 Christian chur ches 180 publio baths and 180 khands or inns besides numerous bazaars, edffee houses, and caravanseries. The seraglio is to the east of the city and comprises an area of about three miles separately en closed by walls, and extending down to. the sea of Marinora. The Golden Horn is a fine harbor, deep enough to float ships of the largest size ; it can receive 1,200 sail of the line, and it is always, full of mercantile and other vessels. On the north shore,of the Golden Horn are the imperial dock yards. There is always a strong garrison gf froopa in this oity, and many new barracks have been built by the late and present Sultan. The commerce of the port is extensive but not so great as might at first sight be anticipated.-^- The city is the see of the Greek, Armeni ans, and Catholic-Araenian partriarchs. (tnnpcraiifc.

Of those who re fuse to quit, the ladies say “ We sin cerely hope they will, upon timely reflec tion, retract thpir answers at an early day; if not they will have to abide the conse- qunuces of their business, which can now be read in the feelings, the sentiments,and the will, of an ogtraged and injured pub lic.” Here are the replies of the sellers : J will quit when my license runs out; that will be ,the 1st of April; 1855. , , .-’ r v Wm.

It was kept iu the same • room with a parrot at that time, when “Pol” befog out of her eage, flew across the room and alighted upon the cage of the robin The robin was very much frightened and and since that time has never sung a note, or acted like the same bird it was before But what is still more singular its feathers are gradually turning white.—Lock-port Courier, A Double execution in Kentucky.

Preparations for Corn Planting. With so many broad acres to be covered, as our system of culture on southern bUo- tations seem to demand, wc have but iittl* hfjpe of seeing the sub-soil plows Jused in, breaking our lands juxitid cast. We there fore suggest a sort of compromise between what out to be done/and what wjl( or may be done. In the formation of tho list for planting, in all lands which arc hard dr tenacious, with an under stratum of d«y, •we advise that the first furrow be ran wire a large and long scooter plow; in the hoi-, tom of this, run the sub-soil plow as deep possible ; then rui.^tho scooter on eeen side, and sub-soil in the bottom of each of these furrows. This makes the prepare, tioir good immediately under the root, lead ing the opportunity fop breakinqj^thq*isii4- dles thoroughly at subsequent^wof^ing^ of the corn. If the year should oe wet, nett ing will be lost; if dry,jevcry'thing will be gained by this deep plowing. We set up no claims to foreknowledge, but judginc from the extreme quantity of rain whiea has fallen in the past year, we may reason ably expect that this will be dry, aad as notliimyexccpt a littlo extra labor will ho requjpcd, it would certainly be prudent, ty make our preparations for any emergency which may arise. The last of February, the planting of corn may commence, and if these prepara tions are not now made, the oj p irtunttj to cure an omission, which may prove fatal, will be lost for the season. No crop sends out so many and such wide spreading root! as corn : and deep and soft, well pulverised egfth must bo prepared for their ftp* and easy penetration. The fate of the corn crop is dependent on, aud may be irrever sibly controlled by the preparatory work now to be done. Be not misled thctefvre in your estimates, by the succecs of the past year, when the rains made the cen^ to grow even in the fence corners, but look out and prepare for success when season^ may be Hss propitious.—Soil of the S<s*th, A Dressing of leached ashes, at thereto of 100 to 150 bushels per acre, we have seen attended with very beneficial result;) on wheat, ou sandy and gravelly soil.—? Old leached ashes frequently increase the yield of wheat, on soil on whieh unleached ashes have no effect. The value of leached aahosfor wheat, therefore, cannot bo ate tributedto the potash they contained other- wisq, the unlcachcd would prove very bea-i efieial for wheat whieh is certainly not the oaag, * To Take Lnk out a? Ltn B.v.-^Take e piece of tallow meft it and dip the spotted part of the ligon into the melted tallow.?— It may then be washed aud the spot ffilj disappear without injuring the Ifoeti. Lime in Planting Takes.—An Eng; lish paper says that a large plantation of trees within the last few years has been formed without the loss of a single tree, and this has been achieved by a simple process; it is merely putting a smalj quaa-. tity of lime in the hole with the plant.—^ About foqr bushels of jime will suffjcq foe an gqre. It must be thoroughly mixed »nd incorporated with the mould before the plant is inserted. The qffcqt of lir^t is to push on the growth of t j)g plaqt eg the first precarious state ; new fibres bfgin to form and ramify from the tap-mot, and Bpt only is the safety insnpud. but growth is advanced in doujile ratio. How to Make Hqvmony.—Wftah \ pint ot grist (particles of flint corn ground to one fourth the size of a grain of mustard with the fiucr^arts of the flour seperated by a sieve,) in two or three waters 'taking, care each time to let them settle. *When you pour off the water the grist must bq before sundown. Now, farewell ! farewell! w n n ii, - , , . . . . iiKet me iu the ^ber world. I a, tS? see you all in Heaven.” An old jmijj Thej} nill 01 r ^' * semewhat druqk, pressed upon him. Short said; “ W.tiskey Brought me to this; I oxpqct you along in a few days J” Hanning, then, quaking in every limb, got up aud said : “ I haven’t got anj-thing against any man fo the world, and I hope nobody’s got anything against me now.” Short repeated this remark- Large num bers of hie acquaintances crowded about, shaking hands with him and asking ques tions, until the last-moment, ” ’ aputtjjcin into a saucepan, with _ pint of water sllghtoly salted and let theni boil sjowly for nearly half an hour ocre- •ignly stiring the mixture as ^on as it he^ gins to boil.
