From tbe Great Weu
TO ONE WHO SANG OF LOVE.
BY MISS PH I-BE CAPET.
Thou fang of lo\®'s con ft § ion
Out beneath t’.ie starry i-kie*,
Os the rapture of the moment
When the soul is breathed In sighs i
And the maiden's trembling transport
As she blu3hi gly replies,
To the worship • 1 a lover,
Breathed from speaking Ups and eyes.
By the earnest tender pathos
Os thy every witching line.
Such an hour of bliss cc-t tio
Has surely once been thine:
And I would that heaven might answer
This carne t w sb of mine.
That thy st ir of love and beaut/
May wane not, nor deoline.
Listening to the first con r es>ion,
Lingeri igo’er the fiist sand klt3—
What an age of bl s* is c owded
In an hour of li e like this !
Surely tbi e at such a moment
lla< been perfi ct happiness
And the m iden, th • fond inn.den,
O, 1 ea mot guess her bliss!
Sometimes to mv heart in slumber,
Tnougbt so like the truth wi 1 steal,
That the pressure of a *wei t kiss
On my brow I almost feel;
A: and 1 dream fond lips ha 1 e uttered
What they might no more conceal,
But I cannot’ no I can rot,
Make such happy visio s real.
SONG.
BY WILLIAM ALEXANDER.
Farewell, my love!
May guardian angels protecting tliee;
Heaven’s fairest star still directing thee;
Keep tliee from ill.
And in the night,
May spirits of light
Bo round thee sti 1.
My soul, too, lingeringly, will be beside thee;
Farewell, farewell, dearest love!
Heaven’s blessings betide thee.
tVewell, my love!
May lephyr s s ft harp still sirg to thee,
On gentle wings sweet perfumes bring to thee ;
In thy soft rest—
And may the love
From Heaven above,
Make thee most blest,
My soul, too, lingeri gly wi I oe venue iu;
Farewell, farewell, dearest love.
Heaven’s ble-sings betide thee.
From the Literary Amorican.
TO MY KITTEN.
Oh. yon little bright-eyed thing!
Emblem oi s me human beautiee;
Humor but your whims, you'll sing
Divi iely gentle: O. how true \il
While 1 smooth your g os y fur—
And please the nymph that round me lingers.
She, like you, will fawn and purr;
But crosr you—woe to eyes and fingers!

MRS. KEMBLE’S READINGS.
MACBETH.
BT MR9. JOSEPH C. NEAL.
Many of our readers have doubtless had
the pleasure of listening to Mrs. Kemble,
since the commencement of her readings.
It is not to them that onr “notes” are ad
dress I. We can offer nothing new in the
way of criticism; ami description they do
not need. But we have bethought our
selves that there are many whose residence
is too remote from our larger cities to ad
mit of this, whose taste and allowable cu
riosity might be gratified by a simple, un
garnishe 1 daguerreotype of the scene pre
sented. and the effect upon the audience at
the reading of Macbeth.
We have selected this play for many
reasons. It possesses for us more interest
than almost any other drama—it was the
first in which we heard Mis. Kemble rea l
—and, as it was given in the morning,
there were no artificial aids of light or cos
tume.
Sampson Street Hall is a pretty saloon,
or more properly lecture room, situated
near our principal thoroughfare, Chesnut
street. Thither, as eleven was pointed by
the Slate House clock, drew crowds of
well-dressed, showy-looking woman, with
now and then a solitary cavalier to remind
one of Miss Barret's couplet—
Rotes plenty, roses plenty,
An 1 o.ie nightingale for twenty.
The gentlemen of our industrious city
are, as a general thing, too deeply immers
ed in business at this hour to do homage
to genius—still we noticed a few who ha I
stolen the time ; but many more who were
thankful for this opportunity to pass away
the large stock always on their hands —at
least we suppose they were, as their usual
resource is a saunter on Chesnut street,
between twelve and three, or a lounge on
the steps of some fashionable hotel. There
was a great deal of moustache among this
portion of the audience, and much clapping
of white kid gloves, as the reading pro
gressed
The ladies, as a general thing, were
from among the most intelligent and high
ly educated circles. Many came at the
call of fashion—and we were delighted to
notice hbre and the r e a group whose bon
nets certainly were not Parisian, or their
shawl from Indian looms, but who, never
theless, displayed a keener appreciation of
the spirit of the play and the talent of the
reader than their wealthier sisters, decked
in tire richest silks and jewels. The taste
ful Fall costumes had an excellent effect,
mellowed by the sunlight, as if it came
streaming through the tall windows. The
most brilliant colors, scarlet, crimson and
green, were subdued by contact with the
delicate French grey, of silks and satins,
which many ladies in our Quaker city
never lay aside; plumes waved, perfume
floated out from deep laced handkerchiefs,
and delicately gloved hands made signals
to just discovered friends among the crowd.
It must have been a brilliant coup d'ail
from Mrs. Kemble’s position, an elevated
platform at the upper end of the room, as
she ascended the steps, and stood with
graceful courtesy to acknowledge the ap
plause which greeted her. It drowned the
buzz of conversation, and every eye was
turned upon this celebrated and truly re
markable woman.
Her dress was simple; a plain, though
rustling silk, with a scarf or mantelet of
rich lace, fastened only by a broach. Her
dark hair was folded plainly about her fine
heal, and confined by a band apparenly of
crimson velvet. The snowy gloves fitted
extremely well, and she laid a handker
chief of gossamar texture upon the desk
before her, as she seated herself, after say
ing :
“ I have the honor of reading Macbeth
to you this morning.”
We are sure there were some present
who had little true sympathy with the au
thor or his interpreter—but rve do not think
there was any affectation in the attention
which absorbed every person present, from
the moment the first words, “ when shall
we three meet again,” were uttered, in a
deep, startling voice.
It is not an uncommon thing to see one
character in a play admirably sustained ;
or, perhaps, two stars now ami then shine
togeiher in one of Shakespeare’s master
pieces. But it certainly is a novelty, to
hear even the minor characters, usually
hurried over, or badly rendered upon the
stage, made interesting or effective—nor is
the pleasure thus given diminished by the
reccollection, forced upon you by sight on
ly, that one person, a woman, excites this
varied and wonderful power.
With Mrs. Kemble the weird sisters
were not simply ugly old women, muiter
ing incantations, as a modern fortune teller I
mumbles over her cards—but Fates, super
natural even in their very hideousness, and
ihp depth of their malice. ‘
By the way is not the ill-nature of the
sailor's wife a warning to wives generally
of the influence they may unconciously i
exert on their husband’s fortunes; if not in
provoking‘a malicious hag, by bringing i
upon them ministers of evil more palpable
and quite as destructive.
The reading progressed. Already was
Macbeth urged by the suggestions of am
bition—spurred on to frame a deed without
a name—the moral lesson of the need to
crush even the fainles', fleetest thought of
evil, lest it should become a purpose—had
commenced; and then entered lady Mac
beth.
Yes entered —for she was embodied then,
and Mrs. Kemble seemed to tread on most
familiar ground. We dwell longer here,
for though tone and gesture were perfect,
as Macbeth’s action went on, to his final
remorse, defeat and death, and Macdufl la
mented over his murdered master, and fal
tered his questions and his sorrows when
the destruction of home and family led
him to
“ Play the woman with hit eyes,
And braggart with his tongue,”
though the weird sisters again howled out
their sorceries, and the feeble voice of the
“ crowned child ” prophesied with a faint
ly ca lenced treble, the interest and sympa
thy of the audience were rivited on the
proud and unrelenting heroine.
Recognizing the yet unformed wishes of
her lord, shaping and strengthening them
by ambitious vision of the future, counsel
for the present, and stinging, taunting
words, at the “ milk of human kindness”
she had dreaded from the first began to
well up in his heart—the exultation with
which she saw “the charm wound up.”
and the horrible firmness with which she
aided in its accomplishment, all this was.
by turns, portrayed. And then her terror
lest his remorse should betray Macbeth to
his enemies, the gradual hold which it
gains upon herself, until “All the per
fumes of Aiabia would not sweeten” the
hand of w hich she had so lately boasted,
“ a little water ” could clean it of the deed,
until there could be found
“ No sweet oblivious antidote
To cleanse the bosom of that perilous stuff
Which weighs ujon the heart,”
and she dies upon the threshold of her dis
astrous denoumait. It is in this that you
recognise the Kemble—the Siddons—the
genius which half a world has recognis
ed.
It was curious to watch the effect upon
the audience as the reading progrsesed.
The young girl who applied a de.icately
embroidered handkerchief to her very fine
eyes at some sentimental passage, which
afforded a pretext for the display, forgot to
do so when Macduff's manly grief might
have moved all to tears. Those who con
sulted their piinled Shakespeare's wiih
such a critical air at first, suffered the vol*
uine to close unmolested from the end of
the first act. The Chesnut street loungers
we have before spoken of, weie surprised
into unusual attention : and many an care
fully-attired belle, whose aspiraiions arose
no higher than a fine establishment and
] equipage, forgot her bfauty and her toilette
sDsaiiSQ© 3 s/iiiaw ©lamia
to wonder at the strange boldness that am
bition brings.
But when all was over, and Mrs. Kem
ble had retired from the scene asquietly as!
she had entered, then again commence!
the strife of tongues. People seemed once
more themselves; young gentlemen pre
pared to he killing ; and ladies found time
to criticise the dress, face, and escorts of
their friends. One wondered ‘‘if Miss
was really engaged to that divine
Mr. L and another ramarked that
“Mrs. V must have got her bonnet at
Miss Wheaton’s opening,” for she had
seen it there.
There were the customary remarks on
the unusually fine weather, as the crowd
emerged from the hall; invitations and
adieus exchanged ; silks, crapes and cash
meres fluttered through the narrow street,
and all was over.
Inais fa[Esaisiß,
NEW METHOD OF GRAFTING AP
PLE TREES.
Plant the seed in rows at a suitable dis
tance from each other, and the hills say
about five feet apart in each rows. But
one tree should be suffered to grow in a
place. Now when the young tree is suffi
ciently grown, in the spring of the second
or third year, any quality of fruit may be
grafted into it in the following manner;
First bend the tree over and obtain for it
a firm resting place, either on a block or a
board resting on the knee, (after it has
been divested of Us branches) and with a
stout sharp-pointed knife, pierce holes di
rectly through the centre of the tree, about
five inches apart, into which thescionsare
to be introduced —leaving above, two or
three buds. A trench is then to be dug,
in a direct line between the trees, about
four inches deep, and the whole tree bent
down and buried, leaving the tops of the
scions above ground. In this condition
the scions become uniformly thrifty young
trees, supported and nourished from the
buried tree, from which issue, in due time,
roots from its entire length. The second
year from this operation, the mhole parent
tree may he dug up, the new growth saw
ed apart, and transplanted. It will thus
be seen that if the tree is live feet in netgnt.
ten or twelve young trees, ot whatever
quality is chosen, may he obtained in this
way’, whereas by the ordinary method ot
grafting, there could be but one. provided
the graft lived. The young scion will
bear fruit, thus transplanted, in the same
time it would bad it been grafted into a
tree fifteen years old.
I know not whether this process is new
among your agricultural community at the
North ; but I have repeatedly witnessed it
in Georgia and Alabama, and 1 have been
informed by some of the best horticultur
ist in those States, that it is always suc
cessful.
Yours, respectfully,
HENRY LEE.
The foregoing communication of Dr.
Lee, deserves the attention of every farn er

AUTUMN WORK.
We cannot in this number, call attention
to every thing it may be necessary or im
perative on the farmer to perform. One
thing, however, we would advise every
reader of ours to do, and that is to take a
leisurely survey of his premises, and note
what requires to be done before it is too
late. The fierce winds and piercing cold
of November, are now upon us. admonish
ing us continually in no very gentle terms
of tlie advent of that season when comfort
will be more desiiable than “much gold,’’
and a well replenished larder and granary,
more invaluable than almost any temporal
blessing that can he named.
Now then, emphatically, is the time to
secure your buildings from the intrusions
of those tierce assailants, w ho, more rest
less than the Vandals, will he soon upon
you; thrusting their haggard visages into
every cranny and loop-hole, and paralyz
ing your very life blood with theii chilling
breath. Let not your remissness be the
means of introducing wretchedness and
disease into that circle over which your
duty, as a parent demands your most
watchful care ; nor should you neglect
your dumb animals. Let their quarters be
made comfortable, and nothing be neglect
ed or over-looked that is requisite to se
cure their enjoyment and health, during
the dreary winter, now so near at hand.—

NEW DISCOVERY IN AGRICUL
TURE.
An extraordinary fact was mentioned
the other day, at the sitting of the Aca lemy
of Sciences. One ol the members stated
that tne Agricultural Society of Brest, had,
upon the proposition of a member of the
committee, sown some wheat upon land
without any preparation or digging and in
one of the worst soils possible; and after
having merely walked over the ground to
press the grain on the surface, had it cov
ered with fresh straw to the thickness of
two inches. The produce was. it is as
serted, more abundant and much superior
in quality to corn raised from the same
seed in the ordinary way. Some ears of
corn, the seed of which had been placed
upon window glass covered with straw,
were also exhibited.
WET LANDS.
This is an excellent time to ditch and
drain, and you should improve it. Cart
the dirt excavated from open ditches into
your cowyard, to be there manufactured
by your cows into good manure, each cart
load of which next Spring, will be worth
equally as much as the same quantity of
stable dung.
By rig: lly adhering to the directions
above laid down, we cannot harbor a doubt
hut that they will prove advantageous,
and render your labors successful.
FEME POSTS.
A practical farmer informs the Hartford
Times , that in taking up a fence that had
been set fourteen years, he noticed that
some of the posts remained nearly sound,
while others were rotted off at the bottom.
On looking for the cause, he found that
those posts that were set limb part down
or inverted from the way they grew, were
sound. Those that were set as they grew,
were rotted off. The fact is worthy the
attention of the farmers.
FATTENING CATTLE ON HAY.
Grass which is cut while it is in bios- J
som, anil carefully made, will fatten stock
nearly as well in a dry, as in a green
state. Some of the best farmers in the
western part of Vermont, are particular in
making their hay for this purpose. Mr.
Bowdish, of Weybridge, whose stock is j
well known for its good qualities, and fine j
condition, informed us that he found no i
difficulty in making his cattle thrive on :
hay. His oxen and stears are fed liberal- j
|y on the best of hay through the winter.
With careful driving they perform the la
bor in spring without loss of flesh, and be
ing turned on sweet pastures, at the pro
per time, they get in high order for early
beef for the Boston market, and always
command a good price. —Albany Cultiva

HVIDPICTURMF LIFE IN TUlt-
Fri'B Furnies’ “ O'd World,” just published by
Appleton & Cos.
The sight revels in those confjsed pic
tures of life and men, which crowd upon
your vision as you wander in your daily
walks through the lanes and by-ways of
this glorious city : and the imagination is
strained to find fit description for those mot
ly contrasts which mingle theeternal beau
ties of nature, with the ever-varying and
gorgeous spectacles of her streets. From
early dawn, when you are awakened by
the hoarse ci v of the vender of chiamac,
who passes your door with his towering
load, to the last cry of the Muezzim at
evening; until night approaches, when you
are again disturbed by the rattling wand of
the passing watch, or the startling call of
“yangen van !” fire! fire! youateeveron
the alert, and susceptible to the thousand
objects and incidents which surround you.
As you walk through the long array of
columnar tombs decking the hill-si leof Pe
ra, you see here and there scattered groups
of beautiful children, playing in full health
ami 1 the broken stones of the decimated
Janissaries; and beyond, through the av
enues of terebinth and cypress, you follow
that hurrying gang of Turks, bearing aloft
the frail relics of mortality, as they almost
run to the grave, an 1 press to fulfil a duty
enjoined by the Koran,which protects them
from any taint by pollution.
Over the hill you look out on the gay
piocession of young children, who are es
corting a companion to school, amid sound
of chant and notes of wild music; and as
you watch the glowing eyes of the young
neophyte, you cannot but admire these
pleasing introductions to their education,
and these charming artifices which soften
the avenue to learning, and cheer the schol
ar, while they bind the affections of the
children to their teachers.
Far off, by the angle of a corner, there
are groups of singing women, shrieking
more like funeral dirges, than what was
thought to be entertainment; and as you
hurry on, passing the doors of the calfce
geeaml wine shop, you look in upon groups
of revellers and idlers, listening to the tales
of a story-teller or dervish, or joining in
the dance of young boys, whilst others are
strewn about, vaguely smoking away ex
istence liom the mouth-pieces of their chi
bouques and the snaky lengths of the nar
guiilee.
Here by the bridge you are startled by
the sharp snap of the Suredgee's lash, who
runs before to announce the approach of
his noble lordship, and yju are amused on
every turn to see the deference paid to a
child, the infant son of some Lord of the
Household.
And in the gay confusion occasioned by
the momentary stoppage of the crowd, you
are struck with the rich costumes which
are bullied together in such picturesque
confusion ; while fustanelled Greek, broad
tailed Armenians, the ragged Jew, pilgrims
and camels, Aiabs and Circassians, are hel J
aback, showing the richest contrast of col
or and races; and, opposed to the glorious
views of the Horn, the white walls of the
city, and the shipping, which almost bury
their prows in the windows of the town.
Hurrying along, come a band of Hamels,
porters of enormous strength, dragging a
ton up the streets of Galata, whilst lean
lank, mangy dogs growl as they dispute the
way.
Acrossin the city,the crowd grows denser
within the narrow limits of the bazaars,
where the little space allowed is ftlle I with
venders of sweetmeats and pulp and water,
mingled with lumbering vehicles and the
spirited coursers of the Prophet’s racers,
whilst Pachas pass with their bands of fol
lowers swelling in dignity with their tails:
and all are hurrying onward, and pushing
their way through that gay array of goods,
wares, arms, and morocco, which line the
walls of the merchant’s stalls.
Aside of the maiii bazaars, which are no
! thing but covered streets, are the khans of
j rich Persians and Armenians. Here the
richestgoodsare displayed, and within their
narrow and ill-furnished chambers, are ar
ranged rich shawls of Cashmere, fine linen
of Damascus, the wealth of the Indies, and
gold of Africa ; all brought hither under
convoy of the caravans, which here dis
charge; and they also open their halls for
the enteitainment of travellers and pilgrims.
The Armenians are the true bankers of the
Turks, who are not permitted to take inter
est by the Koran.
The Turks have limited ideas of commer
cial enterprise, as they sell their goods by
the piece; but they are never troubled about
the sale of their merchandise, and will
smoke cross-legged, for hours, waiting pa
tiently until chance or good fortune favors
them with a buyer.
The life of the “Bazaars’’ makes up the
chief attraction of the city; and as they
seemed always well frequented by the wo
men, presented a field for observation and
remark.
These and the thousand other sights, min
gle with the beauties of nature, and corres
pond to the glories of this sweet land. It is
in that nature that the Turk finds his hap
pinessand home. Here, under the favors of
rich skies, tropical sunshine, and the con
tentment of his placid nature, he revels amid
his visions of the Paradise of the Prophet.
Here he surrounds himself with the heaven
of his women, where all the treasures of
earth are brought, at the ‘ Golden Gates of
the City of the Sun.” If he indulges in
the luxury of opium, in women and his
wives, he is comforted to think that the
Pi ophet sanctioned them first; and whilst
he dreams away existence under the seduc
tive influence of the narcotic, he revels
amid visions of Houris before the gates of
Paradise, and wakes to the realities of con
cubines, who always looked to us like fat
ghosts, dressed up in green and yellow 7 flan
