They stood beside the old grey mill, And gazed upon the dancing water, And Harry smiled—for in his mind, He thought. ‘At length I’ve surely caught her.* But flowers fade—sweet hopes decay— Things didn’t go as IJal expected ; He popped the question by the mill, And there was sacked—id est —rejected! That night ho heard a whimpering noise, Which hindered him, poor youth, from sleep ing ; He took a key-hole peep, and oh ! There sat his lady, sadly weeping: Weep on. thought he, e’est bien e%al. For joy, to think we’ll never marry! Her bird is dead, or aunt’s been cross ! Os course her tears aint shed lor Harry! And soon they parted carelessly ! And Hal became a desperate rover ! He went from Afric to the pole, And travelled all the Cout’nent over; But let him wander where he would— No matter what the scene before him— He found some unknown friend at work, Who cast a queer, kind influence o’er him. Who squared his overdrawn accounts, And saved him twice from being undone 1 Who sent him those * billets a* tme,’ For several thousand pounds on London 1 Who was it wrote, and found him friends Os every grade, from prince to peasant 1 Who sent him papers, postage paid 1 And every year a Christmas present 1 Hal never knew, but he returned, The same good-natured, careless being ; Resolved to settle down at home, Having beheld all things worth seeing. His early love almost forgot! Perhaps he thought her dead and sainted! But yet she met him at the door— Burst into tears —poor girl—and fainted ! Oh, woman’s heart's a curious thing, And curious ways she takes to show it; And he must be extremely flat Who thinks that he begins to know it: And were they married 1 well, they were; £he made him happy—ne’er abused him : Hal knows not why she sent him off, Nor she, as yet, why she refused him. yi&lls FA IS 52 Ba. From the Great West. CULTURE OF FLOWERS. BY AGRICOLA. Advantages. —Who does not love bright blooming flowers'? Whose nature is so coarse, as not to delight to rear these most delicate and lovely productions of nature ? Each one of my readers, perhaps, mentally ejaculates, “1.” No, my friends, you are mistaken—you deceive yourselves; that you love to see a handsome parterre, or that you look with admiration upon the gor geous tints and wonderful forms of indi vidual flowers, i grant; but that you all pay that attention to the cultivation of these “beauties of nature,” which they deserve, I cannot believe. Why this neglect ? Per haps you answer, “ 1 have no time,” or, “It will bring me no money.” The former maj be true, the latter depends upon cir cumstances. As to the first, if you have no time to cultivate flowers, teach your wife and children to cultivate them for they re quire no severe labor. As to the second, though you may gain more money, by de voting your whole energies to the staple productions of the earth, yet, you lose more than money by neglecting to cherish these worthless (as you think) flowers—you lose a great deal of rural beauty anil loveliness which, otherwise, might be spread around your homesteads; but more than this, you neglect the finest feelings and most delicate sympathies of your own nature. How domestic, how home-like does that cottage seem, over whose window's climbs the green vine, and around whose door bloom fragrant flowers! And cannot every one, no matter how poor, possess these ru ral beauties? A sunny nook or corner, a window-sill, or porch, can each receive a lovely tenant —each can hold a flower-pot, vase, or box containing some favorite plant. Requisites. —The requisites of strong and healthy plants are few. A few moments a day, moments which would otherwise be spent in idleness, spent in training, pruning, or cultivating them, is all that is necessa ry. Their cultivation requires no great de gree of skill. One may easily improve the size and color of a flower, and yet be no horticulturist: he may even propagate new varieties, and yet know nothing of botany. I have known old maiden ladies grow large and beautiful flowers, ynd yet the whole stock of their knowledge had been gleaned only from a short experience. I have seen a beautifully variegated tulip, almost anew variety, reared by an invalid youth, whose •nly knowledge of gardening had been learned from an old servant. All that most plants need is moderate moisture, warmth,and light, give them this, and they will prosper. Rose Cottage , Scott Cos. Ky. TIIE YEOMAN. The man who stands upon his own soil, who feels that by the laws of the land in which he lives, he is the rightful and ex clusive owner of the land he tills, is by the constitution of our nature, under a whole some influence, not easily imbibed from any other source. He feels, other things being equal, more strongly than another, the char acter of man as the lord of the inanimate world. Os this great and wonderful sphere, which, fashioned by the hand of God, and upheld by his power, is rolling through the heavens, a portion is his : his from the cen tre of the sky. Perhaps his farm has come down to him from his fathers. They have gone down to their last home ; but he can trace their footsteps over the daily scene of his labors. The roof which shelters him was reared by those to whom he owes his being. Some interesting domestic tradition is connected with every enclosure. The favorite tree was planted by his father’s hand. He sported in his boyhood by the side of the brook which still winds through the meadow. Through that field lies the path to that village school of his earliest days. He stilll hears from his window, the voice of the Sabbath bell which called his fathers to the house of God ; and near at hand is the spot where he laid his pa rents down to rest, and where he trusts when his hour is come, he shall be dutiful ly laid by his children. These are the feel ings of the owner of the soil. Words can not paint them : gold cannot buy them, they flow from the deepest fountains of the heart; they are the life-spring of a fresh, healthy, generous national character. The Farm and the Desk. —The New York Sun truly remarks, that the young man who leaves the farm-field for the mer chant’s desk, or the lawyer’s or doctor’s of fice, thinking to dignify or ennoble his toil, makes a sad mistake. He passes by that, steps from independence in vassalage. He barters a natural foran artificial profession, and he must be the slave of the caprice of customer, and the chicane of trade either to support himself or to acquiie fortune, The more artificial a man’s pursuit, the more de basing is it morally and physically. To test it, contrast the merchant’s clerk with the plough boy. The former may have most external polish, but the latter, under his tough outside, possesses the truer sta mina. He is a freer, franker, happier and nobler man. Would thatyoungmen might judge of the dignity of labor more by its usefulness and manliness, than by the su perficial glosses it wears. Therefore, we never see a man’s nobility in his kid gloves, nor in his toilet adorments, but rather in that sinewy arm, whose outlines browned by the sun, betoken a hardy and honest toil er,under whose farmer’s or mechanic’s vest, a kingly heart may beat. THE SHAVERS. The barber shaves with polished blade, The merchant shaves in constant trade, The broker shaves on twelve per cent, The landlord shaves by raising rent, The doctor shaves in patent pills, The tapster shaves in pints and gills, The farmer shaves in hay and oats, The banker shaves on his own notes, The lawyer shaves both friends and foes, The pedlar shaves where’er he goes, The office-holder shaves the nation, The parson shares to men’s salvation, The wily churchman shares his brother, The people all shave one another. Blundering Compositors. —The late Mr. Wilson, the Scottish minstrel, par ex cellence, who was very particular in cor recting the bills of his entertainments, was not a little annoyed lately, in the country, when he saw the song of “ Beyond yon hills, where Lugar flows,” thus announced: “ Beyond yon hills, where sugar groics !” When the vaudeville of the “ Welsh Girl” was playing at Liverpool, the bills announced that the music was by John Parry, the celebrated methodist, instead of melodist! Irish Wit. —-One of our eminent law yers, of Irish descent, was engaged some time since lo defend an Irishman who had been charged with theft. Assuming the prerogative of his position, the counsel, in a private interview with his client, said to him— “ Now, Patrick, as I am to defend you, I want you to tell me frankly whether you are guilty or not. Did you steal the goods ?” “Faith, then,” says Pat, “I s’pose I must tell yez. In troth, I did stale ‘em.” “Then yon ought to be ashamed of your self, to come here and disgrace your coun try by stealing,” said the honest counsel. “ In troth, Mr. B , maybe I ought, but llien if J didn't stale , you wouldn't have the honor and credit of getting me ass, d’ye see.” The Devil and his Imps. —At one of the rehearsals of “ Of/to,” Cuzzoni, the fa mous singer, insolently refused to sing the beautiful air, ‘■'■Falsa Imogine.” Handel, who was presiding at the performance, in stantly became enraged. “Vat!” said he, “you vill not sing my mooshic ? I vill trow you out te window, if you vill not sing te mooshic!” “ You sal not vex me, Mr. Handel ; 1 vill raise de dev-vel, wen I sal be vex,’ return ed Cuzzoni. “ You are te tevil,” said Handel, “ but, madame, I am Beelzebub , te brince of te tev ils, and (seizing her by the waist,) J vill trow you out te vindow, if you vill not sing te mooshic!” n§aai©§’ wiasGri ©£3Sina a ID a 3® S ih !L ABUT. TUE EXECUTION. Frederick George Manning and Maria his wife were executed in Loudon for the murder of Patrick O’Conner on the 13th ult. The husband made a sort of “ confession” in which he charged the guilt and the act of the murder on his wife, representing himself as a remonstrant at all stages of the business. The woman made no confes sion, but when asked on the scaffold by the chaplain whether she had anything to say, replied, “ Nothing except to thank you for all your kindness.” What seems to give some probability to the statements of the husband is that he desired to obtain an in terview with his wile while they were a waiting their execution, but she refused to see him unless he would assent to a state ment charging the fatal act upon a third person. For the ceremony of the sacra ment just previous to the execution they were brought into the same room and seat ed on a bench with a male and female turn key between them. While in this position, and before the rev erend chaplain had entered, the first friend ly recognition between the convicts took place. Manning apparently unable to con trol his feelings longer, leaned forward to wards his wife, and in the most imploring accents, said, “ I hope you are not going to depart this life with feelings of animos ity towards me.” The appeal was too much for his guilty partner; and, leaning to wards him, she said, “I have no animosity towards you.” He said, “Will you not kiss me, then ?” The female convict said, “ Yes;” and both parties having arisen, they shook hands and kissed each other several times. The reverened chaplain here entered in his robes, and, having ta ken his place, at the altar, he administered the sacrament to both the convicts. This sacred rite occupied nearly half an hour, and at its closing the wmetched pair were permitted to meet again. Manning em braced his wife with great fervor, and said, “God bless you, I hope we shall meet in Heaven.” His wife returned hisembrace, and sobbed audibly. From this scene they were taken to the scaffold, their arms having been first pin ioned by Colcraft, the British hangman, a man so identified with hanging, that he is supposed to knowhow it feels. Manning, as he was being pinioned for the gallows, with a simplicity almost ludicrous asked Colcraft if he should suffer much pain, “No,” said the professional consummator of the law, “ if you will keep yourself still, you will auffer no pain at all.” The as surance is said to have given Manning con siderable satisfaction. On the scaffold the culprits again joined their pinioned hands and took their leave of each other. Man ning was dressed in black and his wife in a splendid black satin dress, and the beau ty of her person as she dangled in the wind is remarked by the journalists. But what of the scene outside ? A crowd was assembled in the street in front of the jail during the whole of the previous night, and accumulated during the morning up to the hour of execution, 9 o’clock, to 50,000. One woman was actually crushed to death in the crowd, and many of both sexes were so injured that they were carried to the hos pital. Charles Dickens the novelist, attended to observe the proceedings outside, and we close by copying the letter which he writes to the Editor of the Standard of Freedom. Sir,—l was a witness of the execution, at Horsemonger lane this morning. 1 went there with the intention of observing the crowd gathered to behold it, and 1 had ex cellent oppoitunities of doing so, at inter vals all through the night, and continuous ly from daybreak until after the spectacle was over. I do not address you on the subject with any intention of discussing the abstract question of capital punishment, or any of the arguments of its opponents or ad vocates. I simply wish to turn this dread ful experience to some account for thegen eral good, by taking the readiest and most public means of adverting to an intimation given by Sir. G. Grey in the last session of Parliament, that the Government might be induced to give its support to a measure making the infliction of capital punishment a private solemnity within the prison walls (with such guarantees for the last sentence of the law being inexorably and surely ad ministered as should be satisfactory to the public at large), and of most earnestly be seeching Sir. G. Grey, as a solemn duty which he cannot for ever put away, to orig inate such a legislative change himself. I believe that a sight so inconceivably awful as the wickedness and levity of the immense crowd collected at that execution on Tuesday morning, could be imagined by no man and could be presented in no hea then land under the sun. The horrors of the gibbet and of the crime which brought the wretched murderers to it. faded in my mind before the atrocious hearing.looks and language of the assembled spectators.— When I came upon the scene at midnight, the shrillness of the cries and howls that were raised from time to time, donoting that they came from a concourse of boys and girls already assembled in the best places, made my blood run cold. As night went on, screeching, and laughing, and yelling in strong chorus of parodies on Negro mel odies, with substitutions of “Mrs. Manning” for “Susannah,” and the like, were added to these. When the day dawned, thieves, low prostitutes, ruffians and vagabonds of every kind, flocked on to the ground, with every variety of foul and offensive behavi our. Fightings, faintings, whistlings, imi tations of Punch, brutal jokes, tumultuous demonstrations of indecent delight, when swooning women were dragged out of the crowd by the police with their dresses dis ordered, gave anew zest to the general en tertainment. When the sun rose brightly —as it did—it gilded thousands upon thou sands of upturned faces, so inexpressibly odious in their brutal mirth or callousness, that a man had cause to feel ashamed of the shape he wore, and to shrink from him self as fashioned in the image of the devil. When the two miserable creatures who at tracted all this ghastly sight about them, were turned quivering into the air, there was no more emotion, no more pity, no more thought that two immortal souls had gone to judgement, no more restaint in any of the previous obscenities than if the name of Christ had never been heard in this world, and there was no belief among men but that they perished like the beasts. 1 have seen, habitually, some of the worst sources of general contamination and corruption in this country’, and 1 think there are not many phases of London life that could surprise me. 1 am solemnly con vinced that nothing that ingenuity could devise to be done in this city, in the same compass of time, could work such ruin as one public execution, and 1 stand astound ed and apalled by ;he wickedness it exhib its. Ido not believe that any community can prosper where such a scene of horror and demoralization as was enacted this morning outside Horsemonger-lane goal is presented at the very doors of good citizens, and is passed by, unknown or forgotten.— And when, in our prayers and thanksgiv ings for the season, we are humbly expres sing before God our desire to remove the moral evils of the lard, > would ask your readers to consider whether it is not a time to think of this one, and to root it out.—l am, sir, your faithful servant, Charles Dickens. Devonshire-terrace, Tuesday, Nov 13. SHAWL ARISTOCRACY. The degiee to which ladies care more for each other's opinion of their gentility of ap pearance, than for the opinion of gentlemen, on the same point, is, at least, equal to the difference between a French shawl and a Cashmere—one worth fifty dollars and the other worth from five hundred to a thou sand —for, though no man knows the imi tation from the real shawl, as he sees it worn, a fashionable woman without aCash mcre feels like a recruit unarmed and une quipped. The pilgrimage to Mecca, which entitles to the privilege of wearing the green turban, would not, by the majority of women, be considered too much to un dergo for this distinction —recognizable, though it be, by female eyes only. “ She had on a real Cashmere” would be sweet er, to numbers of ladies, as a mention when absent,than “she had a beautiful expression about her mouth,” or “she had such love able manners,” or “she is always trying to make somebody happier,” or “ she is too contented at home to care much about so ciety.” It is, moreover, a portable certifi cate of character and position. A lady “ with a real Cashmere on,” would be made way for, at a counter of Stewart's—differ ently received when introducing herself at a first call—sooner offered the head seat in a pew—differently criticised, as to manners, and very differently estimated in a guess as to whom she might be, in any new city or place of public resort where she chanced to be a stranger. The prices of the bestCash mers vary from four hundred to fifteen hun dred dollars. There are two plausible ar guments in their favor, usually pleaded by ladies—first, that they fall in more grace ful folds than any other shawl, and have an “undefinable air of elegance,” and, sec ond, that, as they never wear out, they are heir-looms which can be bequeathed to daughters. The difference between a thou sand dollar shawl given to a daughter af ter twenty years’ wear, and the same thou sand dollars invested for a daughter and given to her with twenty years’ interest, puts this latter argument upon its truest ground; but one word as to the superior becomingness of Cashmers. Theieare very few women, outof France, who wear any shawl becomingly—for it requires either the tase of an artistic mind, or a special education, to know its effects and arrange it to show the figure to advan tage —but a Cashmere, by the very pliabil ity which is subservient to grace, betrays awkwardness or a bad figure just as readi ly. For a round back, flat chest, or arms held at inelegant angles, there is more con cealment in the French shawl, than in the slighter tissue of an India one, but, in ei ther way, we fancy, the difference is too tri fling to be recognizable by one persen in a thousand. As to the beauty of color and texture, we are very sure that, to men's eyes, the dull complexion of a Cashmere conveys the impression of a cover-all,grown somewhat shabby, and which the wearer would not have put on if she had “expect ed to meeet any body.” There is not one lady in a hundred, of those who own Cash meres, who do not look better dressed, (to most female and all male eyes,) iti any oth er out-of-door covering. As our city readers know, there has been a three days’ exhibition and auction of Cashmere shawls, in the large hall over the theatre at Niblo’s. The vessel in which this precious cargo was being conveyed to England,was abandoned at sea by the crew, and, an American ship securing the cargo and bringing it to this country, the goods were sold by the British Consul, to arrange salvage and remit the remainder to the right owners. The shawls were hung upon lines, up and down the immense hall, and. between these aisles of Cashmere, the sash- ionable ladies of tlie city promenaded, with close scrutin) and comparison of opinion— (and with a degree of keen interest that we should like to see given to agallery of pic tures!) Having, ourself, fortunately se cured the company of Mr. Flandin, who was the only importer of Cashmeres to this country for twenty or thirty years, (and whose eye, for better reasons, is familiar with the Parisian grace of a shawl's wear, and its value in becomingness,) we took the opportunity to enrich our knowledge in the matter. After having all the advanta ges of the India fabric pointed out to us, however, and hearing, from our well-in formed friend, what class were the purcha sers, and what made the difference of hun dreds of dollars in the cost of shawls which to a common eye would seem of equal val ue, we came away satisfied that a better present could be made with five hundred dollars, than to bury it in a Cashmere Shawl —that things better worth having could be had for a quarter of the money and that the arbitrary aristocracy, which is based upon the wearing of them, is one of those illuso ry valuations which this common-sense age is constantly on the look-out to put down. —Home Journal.
