Some time ago the simple citizens of Saint Louis were made aware through the rn Jimn of large posters, which stared inem from eve- ! ry individual street corner, of the existence in tiieir very midst, of an itinerant violinist, im- j ported directly from the great, city of Paris. Bright and early, on the same morning, a quick, mercurial little man, with an intrepid activity in his walk, and a telegraphic ner vousness in every jerk and motion of his com fortably enveloped little pet son. his cane under his left arm, and his hat gracefully in his right , hand, entered the door of the Apollo Hall. Friend S was at the piano, essaying his j last received Congo Melodies, and was vocife- j rating the chorus with till the energy that | any mortal refrain could, in a reasonable spirit, j require. • Ah, Monsieur,” exclaimed the diminutive I gentleman, advancing tewards the performer, j with a nervous precipitation. ‘ ; vill you be so good, vill you have debonte —ah, dat is veil— , you apperceive. Monsieur. I am riot mooch ac- ! coustume to ze musique Americain—l find it j vary singular, vary—tnais moil Dieu ! I beg ! your pardon. Monsieur.” and the funny little I gentleman then threw himselfinto such a mul- ! tiplicity of complicated bows, and circular in- ■ clinations, that vague conjectures began to Hit ‘ through the mind of our friend about wander- 1 iog in id.ne t and so on. Ah. Monsieur, 11 Unit 1 carry my head in my packed is morning— permit me sain—dis is my carte, Monsieur de ; Rue Concombre, No. 1, Faubourg Asperges, Paris ; my profession, Monsieur, is de fine art. de musique. permit me to leave you zee heel of zee first consuire—Monsieur dc , grand violin, conservatoire of Paris, present compliment to zee citoyen of St. Lou is, give vun grand consaire on zee violin, wiz accompaynement from zee best musicians from zee citie, Vednesday weeks, zee twenty-four Novembre. Permit me to present you wiz i one ticket— but hold. I vish to craek one joke 1 ! wiz you De consaire will not happen on de twenty-four Novembre; zee grand violin vill I get sick.” • How ? you don’t mean .” j “’Tin vun Paris idee, mon chere ; wait, I : vill explain —you perceive zee idee, mon ami— den zee expectation of zee publique willbe excitee, dey vill say. who is dat grand violin from Paris—he must he great man. sacreb'en, to make people vait so long —ah. you see, heim! ah. ah, alt. vun immense idee; ’t s vun Paris itiee —ah, ah. ah good idee, by gar.” And the ‘ little fellow laughed till lie become blue in the I lace, slapping his thighs, and giving other i extraordinary external demonstrations ofgrat ification at the excellence of the hoax. And. ’ amid another round of bows, scrapes and apol ogies for the disturbance, the first violin re ! tired. The twenty-fourth came, and (rue to the promise, it brought tin entire new set of pos ters, which stated, that owing to some unfor tunate casual ity or other, the concert was post poned for two weeks more. At last, however, when the correct time did come, as ill luck would have it. the Hood gates of Heaven were opened. It rained in torrents during the ■ whole night, and on the next day a cold, un comfortable drizzle was substituted, which ap peared to be interminable. It was a regular dog’s-weathers day, but the concert had been put oil'already too often : it must take place to-night. Night came then, and with it the concert, which it is needless to state, was played to about twenty or taventy five persons. A little gent leman might have been seen on that morn ing trudging on Second street, through the mud up to his ancles. His face wore a wo begone air, liis brilliant little eye had become dimmed, and rolled vacantly about in a pecu liarly sombre manner; the man might have been taken tor a rejected lover. He opened the door of a music store and bolted in. “Well how tire you pleased with your con cert ?” said the resident, as he entered. Out ! vat you call consaire—you call dat consaire veil you play zee violin to t wo or tree dozen animal—if dat vat you mean by con ! saire I cos pleased wiz my consaire last night.” “The people out here can’t understand your ! Paris tricks, eh ?” The little gentleman fixed his eyes steadily I for a minute on those of his companion—eol ■ ored to the very tips of his ears —felt for his snuff-box —snutfed furiously, then launching till the fire of his genius into his looks, he an swered— “ Monsieur, dis is not zee country for genius; zee dam Irish wiz his shovel, zee dam Dutch wiz his spade, zee dam Gumbo wiz his cart, all make money, all get support except zee artist; you starve zee artist, you have no ap preciation lor zee art; ugh, mon Dieu vat a country, vat a country;” and with an inimita ble shrug of contemptuous pity, uml a last look of fury launched a. ter his former friend he close 1 the door with a bang alter him.— St. Louis Reveille. What is Vulgar ami Ignoble. Every thing is vulgar and ignoble which 1 degrades the fancy and blunts the taste tor the Holy. Tell me what direction thy thoughts take, not when thou with tightened hand con strainest them to a purpose —but when in thy hours of recreation thou allowest them freely to rove abroad, tell me what direction they then take, where they naturally turn as to their most loved home, in what thou thyself in the innermost depths of thy soul findest thy chief 1 enjoyment and then I will tell thee, what tire thy tastes. Are they directed towards the God like. and to those things in nature and art wherein the Godlike most directly reveals it self in imposing majesty—then is the Godlike not dreadful to thee, but friendly; the taste leads thee to it. it is thy most loved enjoyment. Do they, when released from Hie constraint with which thou hast dictated them towards serious pursuit eagerly turn to brood over sensual pleasures, and find relaxation in the pursuit of these, then hast thou a vulgar taste and thou must invite animalism into the inner most recesses of thy soul, before it can seem ; w r ell with thee there. Good natured laughter at vulgarity belongs j to ripened age; the attitude of youth—towards j it ought to be that of stern aversion, and no ; one will he able in after years to look on it, and j yet remain truly free and pure from its taint. ‘ who does not begin in youth by avoiding and ! hating it. ‘ ! The portion of youth in life is the earnest and the sublime ; only after such a y< uthdocs maturity attain to the beautiful and with it to sportful enjo.ment of the vulgar. Further, every tiling is vulgar and ignoble, which weakens spiritual power. I shall in stance idleness ; to ment ion drunkenness or j sensuality, would he below our subject. To i live without occupation of any sorj to cast a dull, unmeaning gaze around utt, will soon make our minds dull and unmeaning. This propensity to non-existence, to spiritual tor por. becomes a habit a second nature ; it sur prises us in our studies or while listening to our teacher, creates a chasm in what would otherwise be a strictly connected whole, in terposes itself here and there between ideas, which we should have bound together, so that we cannot comprehend even those which are most easy and intelligible. * * * Lastly every thing is vulgar and ignnb e which robs man of respect for himself of faith in himself, and of the power of reckoning with confidence upon himself and his purpose, i Nothing is more destructive of character than for a man to lose all faith in his own resolu tions. because he has so determined, and again determined, to do that which nevertheless he has never done. Then he feels it necessary ■ to flee from himself; he can no longer turn in ; ward to his own thoughts, lest he be covered ! with shame before them ; lie shuns no society | so much as his own. and deliberately gives himself up to dissipation and selfforgetlulness. Not so the upright student; he keeps his pur -1 pose ; and whatever he lias resolved to do. that I lie does were it only because he lias resolved jto do it. For the same reason —that he must be guided by his own purpose and his own in sight—he will not become u slave to the opin ion of others, or even to the general opinion. It is doubtless of all things ignoble, when man, out of too great complacency, which at bottom is only cowardice and want of spirit or out of . indolence, which prevents him from thinking ! for himself and drawing the principles of his conduct from his own mind, gives himself up to others, and relies upon them rather than upon himself. Such a one has indeed no self ! within him. and believes in no self within him j but goes as a suppliant toothers, and entreats ; of them, one after another, to lend him their 1 personality. How can such an one regard j himself as lu norable and holy, when he nei ! ther knows nor acknowledges his own heing. Man is not placed in the world of sense alone but the esential root of his being is. its we ! have seen, in God. Hurried along by sense and its impulse, the knowledge of this Life in ! God may readily depart from him, and then. ; however noble may be his nature he lives in ! st rife and disunion with himself, in discord and i unhappiness, without true dignity and enjoy ; mmU ot Life. But when the consciou-ness of the true source of his existence first rises upon him and lie joyfully resigns himself to it till his being is steeped in the thought, then peace, joy and blessedness flow in upon his soul. And it lies in the divine idea that all men must come to this gladdening consciousness ; that the outward and tasteless Finite Life may be pervaded by the Infinite, and so enjoyed; and to this end all who have been fiilled with the Divine Idea, have labored and shall still labor, that this consciousness in its purest possible form may be spread throughout the race of man. Jeflersou’s House, Death, Grave, <fcc. On the summit that commands this enchant ing view, the mansion was built by Jefferson when he had wealth to lavish, on his cultiva ted tastes. The house was one hundred feet long, and of peculiar form and proportion. — You enter a wide and lofty hall, that was once adorned with works of art which he had selected with a master’s skill, in the high places of the earth; then you pass on to tiie spacious dining-room, with polished inlaid lloor; then to his library, and study, and parlor. As cend this flight of staits, not more than wide enough for more than one to walk up at a time, and you find the chamber where he died on the 4th of July 1826. The bed was in a re cess. the end of which contained two cross pieces and on this were thrown the mattresses on which lie laid himself to die. It was the gloomiest place—the dead room—that I was ever in; there was the strangest gatherings of thoughts, crowded upon each other, and each claiming to be the true emotion of the hour and spot. I thought of liberty and rev olution—of philosophy and of religion and in fidelity. and death hereafter—of the soul of a mighty man struggling with the fetters and rushing away with them into the darkness of an untried future, to the presence of the In finite. in whom the wisdom of man and an gels is but a drop that falls into the ocean— before whom the soul of the unholy shrinks away, and finds the nigs of human glory and the fig-leaves of philosophy to be no covering when the eye of the Holy One searches the spirit. Such thoughts ars these pressed upon me as I stood in the chamber whence the soul of Jeff'rso.a had fled to judgment. The mansion, now owned by Capt. Levy, is Billing into decay; it was sold, and all his furniture, Jefferson having died insolvent, and almost the only relic left of a man whose name is identified wi it his country’s history, as a devoted patriot and distinguished President, is a bust of Voltaire, which stands here a tutelar divinity of this deserted, dilapidated house. As you ascend the mountain, you pnss an enclosure, without a gate, that contains the grave of Jefler.-on; and a more neglected, wretched burial-place, you will seek in vain. It Campbell’s last man had been buried there, lie could not have been less cared for. The wife of Jet Verson, torn from him by death, ten years after their early marriage, lies here. A granite obelisk, battered much by pil grims. but without name or epitaph, is doubt less the monument of Jefferson. It was here placed by his executors, and the panel on which was to be inscribed the epitaph he wrote lor himself, has never been inserted in the stone. I was told it was lying, with the iron gates destined for the enclosure, on the banks of the river where landed, and that no man has troubled himself to see that they reached their destination.— N. Y. Observer. A Beautiful Extract. I'eaw a mourner standing at eventide over the grave of one dearest to him on earth.— The memory of joys that were past came crowding on his soul. ‘Ami this,’ said he. ‘is | all that remains of one so loved and so love ly ? I call, but no voice answers. O ! my | loved one will not hear ! O Death! inexora j ble Death ! what hast thou done? Let me lie down and lorget rny sorrow in the slum ! hers of the grave !’ When he thought thus in agony, the form jof Christianity came by. He heard the song and transport of the great multitude which no man can number, around the throne, there were the spirits of the just made perfect, there the spirit of her he mourned. Their hap piness were pure, permanent and perfect.— The mourner then wiped the tear from his eye, took courage and thanked God; - all the days of my appointed time,’ said he, ‘will I wait till my change comes.’ and he returned to the duties of hie no longer sorrowing as those who have no hope. The Beautiful Fegentl. We find in a late sermon of Thomas Par ker, the following story. The subject ot the discourse is hest : They tell a story that one day Rabbi Ju dah and his brethren, the seven pillars of wis dom sat in the Court of the temple on feast day, disputing about rest. One said that it was to have attained sufficient wealth, yet, without sin. The second, that it was fame and praise of all men. The third that it was the possession of power to rule the state. The fourth that it consisted only in a happy home. The filth, that it must he only in the old age of one who is rich, powerful, famous, sur rounded by children. The sixth said that all were vain unless a man keep ail the ritual law of Moses. Aud Rabbi Judah, the venerable, the tallest of the brothers, said, “Ye have VOL. XXVI.—No. 51. spoken wisely, but one thiugmore is necessa ry. lie only can find rest., who to all the*e things addeth this, that he keepeth the trad.- tion of the elders.” “ There sat in the Court a fair-haired boy. playing with his lilies in his lap. anJ hearing the talk, dropped them in astonishment lron his hands and looked up —that boy of twelve — and said. 1 Nay fathers, he only lovelh rest who loves his brother as himself and Gi with his whole heart and soul. He is greater than fame and wealth and power happier than a happy home, happy without it. better tlia honored age. he is a law to himself and abov* all tradition.” The doctors were astonished. They said when Christ cometh shall he tell us greater things! And they thanked God for they said, the old men are not always wise, yet God be praised that out of the nt mill of this young suckling, has his praise become perfect.” Never (Jive Fp! Here is something lor t hose who are mourn ing under misfortune, from the New York Star. Read it. and • try again:’ “ All young men have to lie ruined once —if they begin rich or prosperous. Nothing but a miracle can save them. They either get m ir ried before they can afford the luxury of a wife —or fail, and then, and not till then, are they good for anything. Men are not mode by coaxing. They seldom thrive long o 1 su gar plums. To be men they must rough it. And the sooner they begin the better. Oaks are rooted in wind and storm.

The Queen-Dee at Home. j The community of bees is an example o>‘ I pure monarchy, unrestrained by any checks jor power, yet never deviating into lespotism t on the one hand, or anarchy oa the o ar.— i Some years ago while our gracious t,u a,. was making a royal progress through l. r | northern dominions, we witnessed a less’ j interesting sight of the progress of jteen j bee. in the glass hive of an ingeniot ier-J j and a lover ol nature at his country i eat. | The hive was of that construction whi -I. open ed from behind, and showed the wi.oic erov>4 ‘my within. In a few minutes the qu ni ma:!r her appearance from the lower part oi ti e ! hive. Her elongated body and tapering at 1 domen. at once distinguished her. She mov j ed along slowly, now and then pausing to de posit an egg ia one oi the empty combs; and ; it was most interesting to perceive how sh. j was constantly accompanied by nearly a do ! zen of bees that formed a circle around her, ’ with their heads invariably turned towards her. The guard was relieved at Irequent i: tervals, so that as sh : walked forward anew group immediately took the place o ; the old. and these, having returned again, resumed j the labor in which they had been previously engaged. Her appearance always seemed I . give pleasure, which was indicated by a quiv ering movement of the wings. The laborers, in whatever way occupied, immediately for sook their work and came to pay homage to their queen, by forming a guard around her person. Every other part of the hive mean while, presented a busy scene. Many bees were seen moving their bodies with a tremu lous motion, by which thin and minute film of wax were shaken from their scaly sides. — Olliers were ready to take up this wax and knead it into matter proper for constructing cells. Frequent arrivals of bees from the field brought pollen on their thighs lur the young grubs, and honey, which they dejosit ed in the cells. All was activity, order and peaceful industry. None were idle but the drones.’who seemed to stroll about like gen tlemen.—British Quarterly Revltvc. Cultivation of Native Crapes. I think very few rs the thousands who now cultivate the Isabella and Catawba Grapes, , in the middle States, are aware how much | the size and quality of tiie fruit is ini] roved by high culture. The deep and rich borders, always prepared for vineries of foreign grapes, your readers arc familiar with; and the magnificent growth of wood, and enormous clusters of grapt s that are obtained by using such stimulants. I think equally satisfactory results may he ob tained t>y making deeply prepared” borders for the native grapes. Os course, I now re fer to vines planted lor table fruit; as it is well known that in planting vineyards for wine, the quality of the juice is the only ]>oint to be considered ; for in that case, high manuring always injures tiie vinous quality of the Irun. I have tour Isabella vines, which have giv en me. for two years past fruit nearly as large as those of the Black Hamburgh and of very fine flavor. Perhaps it may please some of your readers to know the treatment they have received. They stand in a border. 12 feet wide by 3t feet long. I prepared this border by throw ing out all the soil and subsoil to the depth of three feet. The bottom was then filtd up •with stones, mixed with half liuu rubbith , (from the walls of an old house ) one loot ia ( depth. Throwing away ail tiie subsoil, l then mixed with the good soil ten cart loads ’ oi stable manure, and two barrels of bone dust, and a cart load of leached ashes. W ith these all incorporated together, the border was made complete by filling up the remain* i ing two feet upon the stones and lime rubbish in the bottom. The vines were planted 6 leet apart, and trained to an upright trellis. I was astonished at the gigantic $! oots which they made the second and third \ are. 1 The shoots were some of them 24 lev t ong. as thick as my thumb. I pursue the s tuple spur mode of’ pruning, and obtain regular and heavy crops. Some of the bunches weighed a pound and a quarter last year; and the ber ries were so large that many persons who saw the fruit, would scarcely believe it was the same variety as the common Isabella grape. So much for the effects of high culture. [ Horticulturist.
