I have wandered cn tftrougn many a dime, Whnre flowers of bea uty grew, Where a fl were blissful to the heart, And lovely to the view: I have seen them in the twilight p;ide, .And in the drss of morn But none appeared so sweet to me, As the spot where I was born. I have wandered on throtli many a Tire, And gazed on palace tvalhs, Yet never wished that step of mine Should tread those stately halls; For midst the pomp that circ'.cd me, I still should be fuflvrn; Give me, give me, the lowest cot On the spot where I was born.

The Baron di 13 , cf the ancient cify of S- -, when a young man, fell in Jove with a girl of condition inferior to his ow n, and after a courtship of some continuance made a promise of private marriage, refusing at the same time , to accept a young lady of rank and fortune chosen for him by his fath er. As the old barou was in the habit of re siding a great part of the year in Palermo, his son only waited his departure for that capital to execute his intention, but before this took place, to his utter surprise and consternation the object of his affection disappeared in a mysterious manner from her paternal residence Nothing was heard cf her for several days, duriue which the baron, half distracted, and struKsding between hope and dispair, made fruitless researches and inquiries, until one morning a letter was left for him bv a person iu disguise, acquainting him that his mistress had eloped with a more favored lover. I he shock was so severe, that he was attacked by a fit of illness which endangered his life ; but pride coming to his assistance, he resolved to inuke every effort to overcome a passion so unworthily returned. . Accordingly, to divert his Intention, he made a journey to several parts of the island, nnd returning after some time, immediately married the lady his farther hud selected for him. Several mouths elapsed, the old baron had quitted S for Palermo, leaving the so as to hide his face, walked deliberately up to the light and blew it out. The same sound of the key, as on the preceding night, follow ed, the same footsteps, the same impeded breathing and suppressed cries. Every thing being now too clear to admit of a doubt, he lay in an agony of terror and confusion until morning. Fearful of its reaching -the .ear. of the baroness, and causing some agreea ble consequences, he said nothing of the oc currence to his sou ; but thought it sufficient to order his valet, a stout fellow, to sleep next niVht well armed in his room. At the usual hour was heard the usual noise, on which the baron called loudly and repeatedly for his ser vantbut in vain, no reply was made. Ihe same person as on the foregoing night, made his appearance, and extinguished the light ; nnd the accustomed sounds were again heard, in the morning the valet was found in his bed, totally unconscious of what had happen ed, iu a species of lethargy, from which he did not recover for several days. "The affair was now truly alarming, and the baron could no longer conceal it from his sons, for h had two in the house. I hey thought it would be better to keep it secret, and to inspect the apartments themselves, to discover if there were any secret means of en tering them, which could hardly be suspected, from their having been, as has been before observed, but lately built, and under their own inspection. After a minute search, nothing was found that in any way tended to the eluci dation of the mystery. 1 he young men be gan to treat the matter as a strange effect of fancy and apprehension on the put of their father and the steward ? but the eldest, the baron of whom we have been speaking, de termined to pass the night in the climber with his father ; accordingly, when the hour arrived, having provided himself with a brace of pistols and his sword, he sat with a book in his hand, waiting the mysterious visitor; nor was he disappointed: a little after mid night the door opened, and a person muffled as described walked boldly up to the table and blew out one of the lights; the baron instant ly seized a pistol, and snapped it at him, but it missed fire ; not a little surprised, he pre sented, and drew the trigger of the other with like success, whilst the strange intruder, with out appearing to take the least notice of his attempts, extinguished the remaining candle. Alarmed and confounded, hs was about to have recourse to his sword, when he found himself held forcibly from behind, pinioned, and tied to his chair. In the mean time the sound of the key, the steps, the female cries, were all repeated as on the preceding night. Vo further violence was offered, but the baron was obliged to remain in this disagree able situation until daylight, not thinking it safe to permit his father to call the domestics, who were in another wing of the mansion. After this the apartments were shut up, it be ing considered advisable to keep the matter concealed from the servants, for so superstiti ous are the lower orders in Sicily, that if the report of the house being haunted once got abroad, they would not afterwards have found a person to enter their service, besides which, rumors discreditable to the honor of the fami ly would without fail have been disseminated, had the story been made public. Under pre tence of a change of air, the baron removed his family to a villa which he possessed near the Tonure di Santa Bonaccia, leaving the palace empjy. A few days after he returned in the evening to S , and having ar ranged his plan with some friends, they en tered the house unperceived in the dark, and posted themselves in the apartments subject to the nightly visitations.- At the wonted hour, the door was opened, people crossed the room, the key was turned in the lock as usual, and a minute after the struggling and subdued female cries were heard. At this decisive moment the baron and his compan ions opened their dark lanterns, and to their MtTt - ' 1J III-.-, n UttU as sue o-au moiwc ... The Farmer.

One night the family steward, who occupied the floor under the new apartments, which were not yet inhabited, was alarmed by footsteps, and a noise like that of people struggling overhead, which was followed by groans, and cries of a female voice, but suppressed aud indistinct, as if the mouth of the person who uttered them was forcibly stopped. His first idea was to ascend by a private communica tion from his own- apai true nt3 ; but reflecting that the bavon only hud keys of the room iu question; he conceived, however improbable tho conjecture, that it could be no other, and that ho had some extraordinary disagreement with his lady. Under this impression, he in quired of the servants iu the mom i tig, if any dispute had occurred the overnight between his master and mistress ; but was told that so far from that being the case, the baroness had been unwell, and had retired to rest at an early hour, and that the baron himself had followed soon after. At night the same noise was again beard by the steward and his fami ly, who now thought it his duty to report the atluir to his master, by whose direction the apartments were examined, but nothing was found to indicate their having been lately iu any way disturbed. After this, the noises ceased for some time, although Don Guiseppo, the steward, fancied he still heard them occa sionally, but fainter than before, which the baron treated as the mere effect of imagina tion. In the course of a few weeks the baron's farther returned from Palermo, and chose to occupy the new apartments. On the first night of his arrival, he was awakened by a slight noise, and found the chamber liht ex tinguished ; at the same time he heard a sound like the turning of a key, and a few minutes after footsteps in the room, with sobs and violent efforts to call out, like those of a person under suffocation. Being advanced in years, and fearful of the consequences of leaving his bed, he judged it most prudent to lemain quiet. After a time every ihing was again silent. - In the morning he attributed what had passed to a dream, and made no mention of it to any one ; be did not, how ever, as may be imagined, feel verv easy on going to bed that night, and could not sleep. Vhilst he lay in this state, the door of the apartment which he had carefully locked, opened, and a loan imiRlcd up iu a great coat, astonishment and horror, discovered that tho intruders were the baron's own brother am! his servant, who between them forcibly car ried an unhappy female, into whose mouth they had thurst a handkerchief to stifle her cries ; but what was tne increased surprise and indignation of the baron when he recog nized this unfortunate person as the object of his affection, whose supposed elopement had been the source of so much misery to him ; but for his friends, he would have sacrificed this unworthy brothet on the spot That young man, who had not completed his twenty-first vear, had been occasionally employed by the barou in delivering letters aud messages to his mistress, with whom, in executing his commission, he fell desperately in love; finding her affections immutably fixed, he conceived and executed the daring plan of carrying her off. It happened that the improvements were at the time going on at the place, he took the opportunity of privately directing tho workmen to make a winding stair-case, which led to a small dark room, or rather hole, as, to avoid discovery, but little space could be spared from the other apart ments. To this uncomfortable place he con veyed his victim ; as there was no room for a bedstead, a mattrass was all she had to lay on ; at night he rrgulaily visited and brought her food, and generally with the assistance of his servant carried her to his own chain ber. It is impossible to recount the brutality with which she was treated ; prayers, teirs threats resistance were alike unheeded, al though he offered to release her, provided she would consent to marry him ; aud swear to keep the secret; both which conditions she resolutely relused. Ilcr sunerings, menta and bodily, had in the mean time ruined her health and reduced her to a skeleton. The young man offered every reparation in hi pOver, and even his brother, seeing that the evil admitted of but one remedy, entreated her to forgive and marry him. All solicitations were fruitless; she reiected him with con stant loathing and disdain ; declaring it to be ner intention, if she got over her confinement, to spend the remainder of her davs in a con vent. Her exhausted frame proved too weak to support that event, which she surv ived but a few hours. The wretched author of her misery and rum, stung by remorse and shame, and still a prey to his violent and unlimited passion fell into a rapid decline, and outlived his victim only three months. as pray.

An English paper says that a larre planta- lion ot trees, within the last tew years, has been formed without the loss of a single tree, and this has been achieved with a simple pro cess, a is merely putting a small quantity of the avidity with which animals cat it when given them, there are many who scarcely salt meir auimals tnrougn the season.

The ouantitv al lowed in Spain for 1500 sheep, is twenty five quintals probably twice the amount the same number usually get in this country; and this quantity is consumed by them in about five months, they getting little in the winter, or while journeying to and from their mountain pasture. J.ord feomerville allowed a ton of salt to a thousand sheep, and found thev con- sumed the most in the spriuijand fall, and at these seasons it was probabv most useful to them as security against disease. Of its val ue for animals in a medical point of view the loitowing tact, stated by the celebrated Cur wen, must be deemed decisive: "Before I commenced giving my cattle salt. my farrier's bill averaged 5S pounds per an num, (or more than two hundred and fifty dol lars,) and since J have used salt, I have uever paid in any one year more than five shil- Timfoer nncl Lumber Agency.
