In n late work published by Longman, of London containing’ a collection ol the writings of 1 hos. B.ibington Macaulay, ve find the following “heart record,” which tiny perhaps explain why the briiiiunt essayist liv.d a bachelor: “By thy love, fair girl of France, And th, arch an ! bashful glance W liicli so well revealed it : By the llash upon thy brniv, By the softly faltered Vow, And the kiss which scaled it ; “By thier foreign accents dear, \\ lo se w.lii caiiei.ee on mine ear Still in slumber lingers ; By thine eyes-of sapphire splendor, By the thrilling press me tender Os thy trembling fingers; “By thy pouting, by thy smiles. And by ail the \ arieu wiles Which so sweetly won me ; Laughter, blushes, sighs, caresses, By thv lips and by thy tresses, .Sometimes think upon uie. “Think upon the parting day, And the tears 1 kissed away .From thy glowing check; Think of many a dean r look, Think of all that 1 have spoken, All 1 limy ttoi speak.” Frtm the Cnncmiuti CLumwrciul, Watermelons. Gentle reader, there is one subject upo.: which we have long wondered that some body didn’t indite a “juicy” article. It is a lruitlul and succulent subject, full of ■ meat, and ovb’itloiinig with suggestion.— I It contains more seeds of thought than hall tiiedismaltln-mes wherewith editors do’ so abuse their own pens and tie patience, oi their readers, ii is a subject whose f-.ir roumied proportions must tie attractive to all save log.c grinders and pedants, and it appeals with an appetizing fiavi rto ail ; pet sous ot itiscerument anti taste. From ; centre to cticttmlcrcnci’, there is no tiry-i ness about i:, and it is full of marrow to the very cme. Need w say that we mean wateritielouß f Tlie veiy idea of a watermelon is re freshing and coot. On a hot, swi lit ring day, when the situ blisters the earth, in. extracts juices tioin all things, wint etii he iihhh coiisnUtory to a pantii'g citizen than a fuil-oibrd melon, fresh irlm l u refngerstor I The very look |ir isi.Mgfai “guuti for sair ecu sand „s fur the taste, them’s in,iliiiig'ltns side H e n.ctar a, c! atobtohia „f Olympus, wlticii will bear to be 1 thought of io the same afternoon. One of our curliest recollect ions is of a ; watermelon patch which lay liatn y a | ceffl'n scboidfioiise at the ci< ** reads ’ (1 f „ j country town. It was a most .milful ami convenient patch ; ami it the respected owusr bad only kanwi.hi.w much ini am a I sat isf act ion ilia conismplstion of it afforded tire juvenile discir,|jH of ibe adiool mfig?. nM, w> are lorn nn would not bars broke u the Tltirri Commandment over our viola tions of the Eighth and Tenth. Another and a later recollection is of the euplrniotts street cry of the- Kentucky African, as his cart slowly wended along the summer street : ‘-Watermelons! VVa tetmelons !"’ By the way, reader, did yon oversee how a genuine plantation darkey eats a watermelon ? it is unique. He gets iiis watermelon, takes a mental inven tory of its contents, balances it till he finds its centre of gravity, and thence cracks it open on a fence rail rr stone. He then takes one section in both hands and care fully inserts his head in tlie concave, and munches, ‘i'iie head remains submerged for the space of several minutes, and when it emerges it leaves an empty hemisphere behind. The longing eyes of Sambo now turn with true Sybarite gustc to the other hemisphere. Tiie head again disappears, and niter a prolonged attack, the second kingdom is minced to possession and the white eyes of Sambo come forth, while, he wipes his dripping frontispiece on bis sleeve and sighs for new worlds to conquer it is not every one who. knows how to cut a watermelon. Some murder it with uncouth slashing, while some carve it so faiitn ticaliy in curious dove-tailed slices, that they balk the hearty appetite winch gives streh zest to the enj •ytuent of the fruit. First pick your watermelon. _it should be large, thin skinned, and dark j rnuled. The thirty-pounds are quite small enough—-and from that up to titty are just tlie thing. To test ii it is ripe, you need b it go through the vulgar prac tice >i'‘'plugging.” Tueiv is a more rx-j c-llent way. Von may tiittmp him with you tinge said thump him • til he crackles | getiiiy—w.hneupnu b • assured that he is ripe and ready for the sacrifice. Now amputate the heard and tail with your car ving knife, and stand him up endwise. — Then f-lit tiis body longitudinally into even and generous slices, leaving the core un touched. Serve out the slices, and add to each a cross section ot the ruddy core.— Then eat. What a luscious, crisp, juicy ! feast ■ e. the fog slice: . blushing ••celestial red ns ii .-y dealt a:- u;:il. lin y are -to he skillfully severed, after directions marked out by Brutus for Caesar's bmt\ ‘•Let'scarve him as adisii ii■ tot the Gods, Not hew hint like a carcase meant lor hounds.” Some people tell a way of improving the fi-ivor of the Watermelon bv pouring in claret or other wme, ami sliU'ering the me lull'to absorb it before eating. We think ties an abuse of the good gilts ot Provi dence. Claret is gi"l in its place, just as a watermelon is superb—by itself. As good win .’ needs no hash, so good water melons i eeds no w iue. D that Ivon! in Emperor who off-red such a fabulous sum to tile man who should in vent him anew pleasure, had onlv lived in Ohio, during ihe month of August, he might La’v saved his reward. In this refulgent summer, till the pro duets of tlie soil are fraught with new luxu riance, and plenty'and profusion arc the order ot the day everywhere’ That fa vorite esculent, the watermelon, shares in this universal bounty. They are not only abundant, l-iit surprisingly cheap. We bought a watermelon the other day for five cents, which was a feast for two or t iree persons ; and for twenty five cents you can furnish a dessert for a small annv. Some tastes, as the taste for tomatos and lobsters, are acquired ; but the. love, of the watermelon is natural, V\ e never knew one, who could dtink water, but was fond of watermelons. They are meat and drink and when, after imbibing ot them to the extent of your capacity, you lean back in your chair with a soothing sense of saiis htetion. they are even more than meai and drink—’-they are rest and repose. A simp may be made from grapes, or any other limit, that;.will not ferment.— Tlie fermentation of the jtticeof the grape may be prevented, in a measure, by the same means used to keep eider from work ing.

Tin; Italian question seems likely once more, to disturb the peaceful relations of Europe. Hitherto the progress of events in tins south of Italy has been tv,itched quietly tlton li not inattentively by Alls tiia. bhe has seen one hv one her old allies, the rulers of Central Italy, despoil, ed of their possessions and deprived of their thrones. She has looked on at the extension of the Sardinian trontieiß almost to the (fates of Home, and at the loss ot Sicily to ti e one msmstey of her influence in the peoit.sida—the King ofNttples— and si e lias not interfeied. Situ Jut* gone on reorganizing her defeated and some what hispiritei army, strengthening the defences of tier more expn.ed provinces, and stliving to deprive lief foes of their i best weapon* again*’ her, the disaffection Hi her lltMigaiiaii mid itnlinn subjects, hv ( efforts a', reform. But she bus not . epart I'd from the dignified a’littn'. which tin I peaco of Villalriinca imposed on her; and her wisp deti-nniiiMtioit has un i with the approoation ill Europe. If reprrt speaks truly, however; she is on thu eve iff m.an tinning her defensive preparation* for of fensive acticp. It ia said that within (be last few flays a note lias reached Turin; in which the Austrian government makes known to Count Cavnur its intention to prevent, if necessary, by force of arms, the rcopatioii of Neapolitan tenitorj 1 y Garibaldi. The Oicta'or’s sojeewhat pre maturely avowed desire to make use of Naples as a base of operations against Venice and of the Neapolitan army and navy—by no means contemptible enemies, ‘fled and inspired by Garibaldi—as an at tacking force, has, we are told, induced the Count of Vienna to bring matters loan issue at once, and to anticipate Garibaldi’s projects. What the Austrian government iias really said we know not; but it is cer tain that a note has been addressed, which lias inspired Sardinia with grave anxiety, and that the. utmost exertions are being made on both sides* of Hie Mineio to be ready when the day for action shall arrive. I “*• contents of this note cannot fail to reach the public ear before long. The P'ltric announces already that it contains the threat that, **in the event of Garibaldi taking possession of the kingdom ofNa pies. o|- organizing an expedition ngaii s’ the Austrian possessions, Austria would not wait for an attack, hut would proceed to meet the Gunhaldian troops on what ever point ot the main land it might he necessary.'’ This is tantamount to a men ace to Sardinia, for it plainly implies a march aero is the territory of the Romagna at present occupied hv the Sardinian army, and virtually Sardinian teiritory. The lesuli ot such a step would inevita bly he war between Austria and the whole oi Italy. We hesitate to believe, for the present, thi Austria lias assumed ni.cli a grave responsibility. It ir. not to he won dered at that Francis Joseph should regard with alarm the programme imputed to Garibaldi, which embraces not nicre y the freedom of Italy, but the independence of Italy; or that lie should resolve to hold his own against the army of revolution.— riven had the plans of the great Italian patriot licen loss publicly expounded, that old warning, “Tim res agttur paries cum projcimu* anlet,’’ would suggest timely precaution. But -between resolute defence and uncalled-for iutci volition theye is a wide difference; and we should regret to see Austria adopt, a course so fatal to her interests, so compromising to her relations with otlierEuropcan powers,and so favora ble to her enemies, as the latter. Francis Joseph lias everything to gain by waiting. Austria forfeited the sympathy of Europe last year by a premature provocation of the conflict. The ill fated march across the Ticino ought to have taught, and w'e trust has taught, her a lesson; and we can not think that she will now'put herself so dvcidedh in the wrong as to plunge into war with disaffected subjects and a bank rupt exchequer, for the ostensible sake of preserving the throne of the Neapolitan Bourbons. Let Francis Joseph wait.— The soldiers who light for Italian indepen dence have prospered hitherto not less from their bravery and devotion, from the bril liant genius of their commander, than from a good cause. Public opionion in every enlightened capital in Europe lirs been with them.— But things would change if tlio in ject of I the attack were other than the dynasty j now. totteiing to its fall. Europe would! discriminate between a war ot indepen dence and a revolutionary struggle. If Austria must fight let her at least avoid the mistake of 1559. There is always sympathy with the power that, is assailed, unlei s its cause he that of flagrant wrong and injustice. Attacked at Venice or in Hungary, she will have the advantage of public opinion on her side. By inviting! aggression she will lose nil the advantage-’ oils results that she has leaped dining the , past five mAiiths, by her conciliatory atti-j tude. and she will imperil her most vital interests. The union of Germany will nev er he consolidated over the mined hopes of Italian independence; nor will the stability of the Austrian empire ha secured b} the sword. Unless the bloody drama of 15.19 is to he re-acted, and a French army of liberation is once more to cross the Alps, Am tna must keep her sword in the scab hard; and, secure in her strength, amt in the justness ot her cause, draw it only in defence of her rights. UowJttChoose a HusbautL A beautiful young heiress had become so disgusted witli a Haltering set of soft pared,'pomatum haired, nmstaclied lipped strongly perfumed suiters for her hand, that she shut herself from the world, turn ed all her propei ty into money, deposited it in banks, donned a cheap wardrobe, put on a mask, and went, pedestrian like, through the city in which she lias hitherto moved with ho inncli display and magnifi cence. She asked alms of those who ot late had knelt at her feet and sued her for | her hand They knew her nor, and cast Img a look of sconf upon her veiled face j and. coarse wardrobe, hade her begone. , Sim entered the country—here she met J with derision and scorn. A few kind-liea?- ted people, it ia true, bestowed aid ; but ihn*e wi re of the poorer class, who had | to wmk to procure their own daily bread, b n they could l ot turn a poor feiinw-orea tme hungry fro* their door, arid therefore gave a small pitlaoce from their scanty t atore. in. 1 One summer day, a Urge company met Terms—sl,so Always in Advance. mostly from m* city Ihe disguised In Less from some cause nr other had wandered there. She a-ked alms of%ome termed “upper tens ” n.ci spoke taunti g 1 y, hut gave nothing. \\ ha. they said hid been heard by q iite a number of their company. Most of them laughed or looked as if ’served her right.’ I lie beggar woman turned about and was walking saaly away, when a good-looking goutleman stepped forward, mill catching hold of her ami, thus spoke : “Stay, my good woman, fell me what you want.’’ Sim replied in a low trembling tone, -I want a sixpence.’’ ••101l shall have ten limes that sum. Here, lie added, drawing from his hand an eagle, and placing it in the gloved hand of the woiiiaii, “take this, and if it is not enough, I will give you another.” The heiress returned the eagle, exolaim tng, “l want a sixpence—only a sixpence. Seeing that he could not he made to nkr the coin, the gentleman drew forth a sixpence, and gave it to the strange being beside liiui, who, after thanking the ger*e rous donor, walked slowly away. After being laughed at for so doing by his com rades, he set out in pursuit of ‘thfe beggar woman. saving. 60 ••I eilmps Hie is an heiiess— or an angel in disguise,—-1 mean to ascertain.” Nil that lie ill,night tins. He. wished to show liisiiii'iiffi rence to what his com panions said, beside satisfying himself about the strange female he Imdjiided. He soon ovetook her, and addressed her thus: •Tanlon me. madam, tor pursuing you. I would know more about you.” As the speaker ceased, the mask drop, ped from the face of the female, and the beautiful heiress was portrayed before the astonished gentleman. ‘ .cl. They were afterwards merited, as the read er has already imagined, for the heiress used tiiis menus of procuring a worthy husband, and the generous gentleman had long been looking for “an angel in dis guise.” • [ lie happy husband is often heard to sav that he got an “heiress for a sixpence.” If aiciiiiiau/ltiiai of the Hour I “All the States must he free,” whether the people thereof desire it or not, is tho standing text of Hie Democrat at Chicago, edited liy the Republican Mayor of that city, and a lending spokesman, for Lincoln in Illinois. In a late article on the Texas insurrection, Wentworth thus discourses: “The only thing that prevents a gener al insui rection at this moment, among tho slaves in the border States, is their belief that in such in event the whole power of the Federal Government W'otild be brought to bear against them, and crush them to j'ice<*s. ••Once let this fear be removed—once let it be known by the slaves that in a contest for freedom they would only have to fight their masters, and nothing could prevent an instant revolution. “Much would depend upon the manner in which tho whites at the South treated this insurrection, when it did occur, if they should see that resistance was vain, and that their only hope of safety to them selves would bo tp } ie!d to tho negroes their liberty, much ot carnage which would otlu rwise follow would he .avoided. But it, on the other hand, they should attempt, ns no doubt they would, to put down the rebellion by fire and by sword, there would ensue such a tragedy as the world has not witnessed tor centuries. “Fancy four millions of blacks, with tropical blood, intermixed with the more nervous blood of their masters, boiling in their veins—with the memories of a life time in oppression, and the hope of a life time offieedorn, urging them on; madden ed by the desire for the gratification of long-smothered revenge, and with the full consciousness that they must triumph or meet a fate worse than death—fancy these men. animated by this spirit, engag ed in a life or death struggle with the whites of the South, and yon have a pic tuie ot what must occur in every South ern State, if they resolve to destroy the old safeguard which they now have—the Union of tin: States. “It is undeniable that at the moment of dissolution there are men at the North who would find secret entrance to the Southern States, and there aid the slave* in the work of organizing and preparing for insurrection.” A gentleman was once dining with a friend, when a most dreadful sorm arose. In hopes of abatement, the enteitaimnent wan prolonged to the latest possible hour; hut at length it was over, and the storm showed no signs of ceasing, hut o n the con? trnrv, grew wofse and worse. The host insisted upon his guests acceptance of a lodging for the night, in view of the impos sibility of reaching his home. The guest complied, but ia few minute* was missed fioin the parlor.. In half an j horn ho reappeared, drenched with fain, i Where, in Heaven'* name, have you been ?” asked the host, viewing the sin i gular 01. j.-ct which looked like a dog •- ’ rouud the paws, And a weeping willow about the head j “U” said he. quietly shaking off the water— “l have been at home to tell my 1 wife, that a* it waa inch a night.
