-THHHB (BAKOILIINJIAN OPENING OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE. Reception of the President at J"ew York. Our northern exchange papers give most glowing accounts of the reception of Gen. ! Pierce at New York, on the-l4th instant. A telegraphic correspondence of the Bal timore papers says that At 10 o'clock on tle 14th, the commit tee of the city councils, together with the committee of , reception, arrived at Ca9tle Garden, having the President of the Unit ed States and suite in charge, accompanied by Governor Fort of New Jersey, whilst salutes w ere being fired from Gouveneur's and Bedlow's Islands and from the bat tery, under the direction of Brigadier Gen Morris. After entering Castle Garden, which was thronged with people, the President was formally welcomed to the city by the Mayor, to which he responded in a neat and appropriate speech, -which was receiv ed with great enthusiasm.: The first di vision ot military were stationed on the battery, with an immense throng of spec tators, and were reviewed by the President on horseback, amid the shouts and hurras of the multitude. The procession was then formed, andvas full one hour' in passing out the Battery. The parade was very splendid, but a severe storm of rain for a time interrupted the evolutions of the troops After the rain had ceased the procession took up its line of inarch for the Crystal Palace. Throughout the entire route the streets were literally iamuied with the .masses of people, and the President was greeted with cheers, waving of handker chiefs, &c. At 2 o'clock the cortege reached the Crystal Palace, and the President and Cabinet were conducted to a platform on the north nave, where were also assembled Generals Scott and Wool, Governor Hunt, and many other distinguished personages fnfln home and abroad. On the platform of the east nave were the officers of the Army and Navy, Brit ish oflicers, Mayors of different cities. For eign Consuls, Mayor and Councils of New York, and various public functionaries. The opening prayer was delivered by the Right liev. Bishop Wainwright, fol lowed by an anthem sung by the New Yoi k Harmonic, and accompanied by the Na tional Guard Band. The President was then welcomed by Theodore Sedgwick in a neat address, to which he replied in a very short address, pleading his inability to speak at length, llc'seemed very much fatigued The cere monies were then closed with Handel's celebrated hallelujah chorus from the k Messiah, '' which, sung by an immense chorus, produced a magnificent musical effect. l ne paiace was not overcrowded , as none but the invited guests, and those hold ing season tickets were admitted. The City Banquet in honor of the Pres ident, took place on the 15th, and was a magnificent affair. A little after one o'clock, while the.au- rTv"aTor the procession, a large pane of glass was knocked out of one of the circle of windows in the dome, by a workman "THE THREE MELON SEED. : When I was a school boy, more than fif- captain's well known hand, but itVas the writing evidently of one who wrote den- cient manuscript.

Since the construction ot the Western Plank Road we have frequently urged upon our up country friends to bring Hay ami b odder to this place, and wipe out the reproach upon a State essentially agricultural, of depending for such articles upon ISew York, and Connecticut, ant Elaine. e think there is a lair prospect ot effecting this most desirable object During the last wek there were lliree loads, amountiug to near ten thousaiu pounds of beautiful Hay, far exceeding the Northern in quality, (at least such of the Northern as we get here.) brought in from Forsyth county. Two of the loads were brought by Mr Romulus A. Shults, the pioneer in this trade from that quarter. They sold for SI 25 per 100 lbs. One of the w agons, drawn by two small horses, brought what would have been a full load for four horses on the old road. VYe learn that such hay has been abun dant in that country at SO cts. per 100 lbs. but that since the article has been brought here at a profit, it has risen to 50 cts. Let us look therefore at the effect of our Plank Road upon the actual value of lands in Forsyth county. The meadow from which this hay came, has yielded at the first cutt ing ihis year, about 25UO lbs. per acre, ot herds grass, clover, &lc. At the second cutting it will yield fully as much or more of blue grass. 5000 lbs., worth formerly, at 30 cents. 815 per acre ; worth now, at 50 cents, 25 per acre. This shows a clear gain to the farmer of glO per annum A A 1 per acre, or uneresi equal loan increase in me vaiue oi nis lanu oi 5? too 00 per acre. vi e learn that this nay conies Irom a meadow of 12 acres which has yielded its regular annual crop for upwards of a bun dled years, without being sowed or manured. New Vohk, July 15. The President and suite left the Astor House at 10 o'clock this morning, on a trip of pleasure down the bay. Previous to starting he received a large number of vis itors, who thronged the hotel at an early hour. The Crystal Palace is being arranged willi great despatch, and in a few days the exhibition will be opeu in all its splendor and magnificence. The unpleasant feelings which had ex isted with some in regard to the delay in completing the edifice are just giving way to a feeling of delight at the present ap pearance of affair an Knslish iournal. whose name irniron. a siorv which may have been a fic- ' -y . ... ... . tion; but which was very naturany ioiu, and made a deep impression on we then. Twill endeavor to draw it forth from the locker of my memory; and engage before hand, to be very much indebted to any one who will indicate its original source. Three young gentlemen, who had fin ished the most substantial part of their re past, were lingering over their fruit and wine at an eating house in London, when a man of middle age, and middle stature, entered the public room, where they were sitting, and seated himself at one end jif th taldi ami railing the waiter, ordered a simple mutton chop and a glass of ale. His appearance, at first view, was not like ly to arrest the attention of any one." His hair was getting thin and gray; the expres sion of his countenance was sedate, with a slight touch of melancholy; and he wore a gray surtout, with a standing collar, which manifestly had seen service, if the wearer had not just such a thing as an officer would bestow upon his serving man. He might be taken, plausibly enough, for a country" magistrate, or an attorney of limi ted practice, or a school-master. He continued to masticate his chop, and sip his ale in silence, without lifting his eyes from the table, until a melon seed, sportively snapped from the thumb and finger of one of the gentlemen at the op posite table, struck him upon the right ear. His eye was instantly upon the ag gressor, and his ready intelligence gather ed, from the ill-suppressed merriment of the party, that this petty impudence was intentional. The stranger stopped, and picked up the melon seed, and a scarcely perceptible smile passed over his leatuies, as he care- ully wrapped up the seed in a piece of aper, anu placed it in his pocket. litis singular procedure, with their preconceiv ed impressions of iheir customer, some what elevated as they were by the wine they had partaken, capsized their gravity entirely, and a burst ot irresistible laugh ter proceeded from the group. Unmoved by this rudeness, the stranger continued to finish his frugal repast in quiet, until another melon seed from the same hand, struck him on the t ight elbow This also, to the infinite amusement of the other party, he picked from the floor and carefully deposited with the first. Amid shouts ui laughter, a third melon seed was soon atter discharged, which hit him upon the left breast. This also he very deliberately took from the Hour, and deposited it with the other two. As he rose, and was engaged in payin for liia rpnnst. flip o-nvptv ot llipp crmrtino gentlemen became slightly subdued. It was not easy to account for this. Lavater would not have been able to detect the slightest evidence of irritation or resent ment upon the features of the stranger. He seemed a little tallerto be. sure., anil ed to them rather more erect. He walk ed to the table at which they were sitting, and with the air of? dignified calmness. which is a thousand times more terrible than wrath, drew a card from his pocket, and presented it with perfect civility to the offender, who could do no less than present his own in return. While the stranger unclosed his surtout to take the card from his pocket, they had a glance at the undress coat of a military man. The card disclosed his rank, and a brief inqui ry at the bar was suthcient tor the rest. He was a captain whom ill-health ami long service had entitled to half-pay. In early life he had been engaged in several aftiirs of honob, and, in the dialect of the fancy, was a dead shot. lhe next morning a note arrived at the aggressor's residence, containing a chal lenge, in form, and one only of the melon seeds. ; The truth then flashed before the challenged party it was the challenger's ir.tention to make three bites at this cherry three separate affairs out of this unwar t 1. 1 . r 1 - 1 im 1 1 1 ran.auie ironc: 1 ne challenge was ac cepted, ;and the challenged party, in de ference to the challenger s reputed skill with the pistol, h;A decided upon the small sword; but his friends who were on the alert, soon discoved that the captain, who had risen by his merit, had, in the earlier nays 01 nis necessity, gaiurii his Dread as an accomplished instructor in the ue of that very weapon. They met and fired alternately, by lot the young man had selected This mode, thinking he might win the first fire; he fir ed, and missed his opponent. The captain levelled his pistol and fired the ball pass ed through the flap of the right ear. and grazed the bone; and as the wounded man involuntarily put his hand to the place, he . . . remembered that it was on the right ear of his antagonist that the melon seed had fal len. Here ended the first lesson. A month had passed. His friends cherished the hope that he would hear nothing more Irom the captain, when another note a challenge of course and another of those accursed melon seeds arrived, with the captain s apology on the score of ill health, for not sending it before. Again they met, fired simultaneously, and the captain, who was unhurt, shattered the right elbow of his antaironisht the very point upon which he had been struck by the melon seed; and here ended the second lesson. 1 here was something aw fully impressive in the modus operandi and exquisite skill of his antagonist. The third melon seed was still in his possession, and the aggressor had not forgotten that it had struck the unoffending gentleman up on the left breast. A mouth had passed anotherand another, of terrible suspense, it. The seal was proven, there was the melon seed in a blank en velope. "And what, sir, am I-ttfJinder-stand by this?" V You are to understand sir, that my friend forgives yoo-he is dead." s . v. i THE MAN OF Bie WORDS J PROPENSITIES AND HABITS OF LIONo. One of the most striking things connect ed with the lion is his voice, which is ex tremely grand and peculiarly striking. It consists at times of a low deep moaning, nnMiil five or six times, ending in faint ly audible size; at other times he startles the forest with loud, deep toned THE MORMONS.

The celebrated Dr farr, the great ureeK scholar, was once compelled to spend a 1 . Ml ! " it Sunday in a country village in wnrwicK shire, England. He was introduced to the curate of the village, and -to officiate. for him on that day. The curate modestly told him his congregation was tntirely composed of illiterate country jpeople, who would scarcely understand the lan guage of so learned a man. The Doctor obviated this difficulty by promising to use the simplest terms he could call from the He preached:, and. after the sermon, as he and the, curate walked home together, he asked if he had not kent his word. The curate said he certainly had, with the exception of one term. "What is that:7 said the Doctor. ' The word felicity," replied the curate. Oh, nonsense,' said the astonished doc tor ; every body understands that; oee. 1 will ask that countryman lust passing. Here, John, my man, can you tell me the meaning ot felicity r" John tooK on nis hat, and scratched his head, and after thinking a little, said, "Whoy, 1 doan't know, zur, exactly, but I think it be someat out a' the inside of a pig.' The Doctor was satisfied then, as we have been sadly, since, that felicity'' is not well I understood by the Lnghsh peasantry. It is the province ot a gentleman always to adant himself to the oerson3 he is ad- and it is the pride ot tne true scholar to convey his knowledge to others in the simplest and most understandable style.

Such has been my situation many scores of times; and though I am allowed to have a tolera bly good taste for music, I consider the catches which I am regaled with, as the sweetest and most natural I ever heard. ' As a general rule, lions roar during the light their sighing moans commencing as the shades of evening envelope the forest, and mntinuin? at intervals during the night. In distant and secluded regions, 1 have constantly heard them roaring loudly . . .. ,i 1 u..:i. as late as nine or ten o csock uu a sunny morning. In hazy and rainy weath er, they are to be heard at every, hour dur ing the day, but their roar is subdued. It offeri happens that when two strange male lions meet at a fountain a terrific battle ensues, which not unfrequently ends in the death of one of them. The habits of the lion are strictly nocturnal; during the day he lies concealed beneath the shade of some low bushy tree or wide spreading hush, within the level forest or on the mountain side. He is also partial to lofty reeds or fields of long rank yellow grass, 1 n occuring in lowiy vaneys. vi nen ne is successful in his catch, ami has secured his prey, he does not roar much that night, only uttering occasionally a few low moans, that is, provided no intruders approach him, otherwise the case would be very dif ferent.

But what the character of its inhabitants will be is prob ably not very well known. Under the sanction of religion the Mormans have spiritual wives and a plurality of wives. We have just seen it stated that Brigham Voung. their present leader, with his half score of wives more or less, has over thir ty children; and so of the rest of them They have also other practices equally ob jectionable, and if they are to have the government of one of the States of the Union at some timef as doubtless they will, all necessary care should be taken by Con I ress that they are not an enemy in our midst, instead of a friendly member of the great family." the LATER FROM MEXICO.

My text this morning is contained in these words : How solveless is woman! How tender is woman! How lofty is woman! How loving is woman! How childlike is woman! My hearers sure enough, how solve less is. woman! She is an unguessable riddle a most intricate enigma; a flower which, by analyzing no one can tell to a certainty whether it be poisonous or in noxious not always. She has been with man from the beginning, and he hasn't found her out yet. She is comparatively an unexplored country an alphabet of hieroglyphics, a magnetic mystery. No body knows what her head contains. Sometimes it seems stuffed with love, ten derness and sympathy; and at others filled with nothing but grit and gravel. It won't answer to shake her; you cause the acids , and alkalies in her nature to come in con tact; and then such an effervescence takes place as might lower the ambition of per lash and cider. , Like the nonth of April, she is all sun shine and flowers. Many a tear drop evaporates in the warm light of a smile, ere it has a chance to fall, and many a bright smile is suddenly quenched by a passing cloud of sorrow about the size of a blanket. Griefs bubble up from her bosom to burst in an atmosphere of joy, like autumnal Ho vers, spring from the warm bed of her heart, to be cut down by the sudden frost of grief. A queer compound is woman! She is made of modesty, boldness, beauty, silk, satins, jealousy, love, hatred, horse hair, whalebone, piety, paint, gaiety, gum elastic, bear's oil, sympathy, tears, smiles, affections and kindness. She talks with her tongue, speaks with her eyes, is elo quent in her actions, and yet 1 can't un derstand her. My friends how tender is woman! She is as tender as a chicken, and as tough as an old turkey gouler. fche must be screened from the hot summer's sun, shel tered from storms, and protected from the blasts of winter and yet if she makes up her mind to do it she can out sweat the sun, face a northeaster and be a match for the devil.

This Da. and Mas Ives. In common with other newspapers, we inserted some days ago a silly paragraph to the effect that Mrs Ives was returning to Rome with her brother, Dr Hobart, in consequence of that gentleman having been notified, by the Pope, that Mrs Ives and her husband could no longer sustain the conjugal rela tion, as the leverend convert would receive hiiiy orders in the course of the summer. This interesting piece of information is preposterous and ridiculous, ami carries its own refutation with it. All the cur rency which it has obtained hitherto has been due either to oversight, or to the most amusing ignorance of the discipline and doctrines of the Roman Church. Imprimis, the Pope, has no power to di vorce Dr Ives and his wife the marriage relation is regarded by the Papacy to be as holy and indissoluble an alliance as it is by any of the reformed churches, by which it is treated very much in the light of a civil contract. In the second place, without a voluntary and complete separa tion consummated and rendered inevitable by the act. of the parties, the Pope has just as little power as inclination to confer holy orders on Dr Ives. In the third place, it is not probable that the late Bishop is a man of such extraordinary abilities that the Roman Camera would be unuaally anxious to secure his apostolical services as a presbyter or priest nor is it likely that there is any scarcity of able, learned, and efficient men within the brilliant cir cle of the great hierarchy. Mrs Ives is very likely returning home probably us stated with her brother but without the alleged di mitt as. If there is any separation at all it is her own act for though Dr Ives may be torn from the Episcopal Church, his conversion has not sundered him from the conjugal chains of Mr Ives. She may still claim him and sue out a habeas corpus for him if she likes, as soon as he gets back to the United States.

In the great arena of life's varied pursuits, there Is no class of actors more shamefully misrepre sented than the author and the printer. The world forms a wrong estimate of the value of each, from not being able to dis tinguish, in the perfection of their labors, the efforts of one- from the other. An author is sometimes lauded to the skies, when in fact, if his manuscripts hail been given to the public instead of the printed volume, he would have appeared in a most ridiculous aspect?; and if a comparison of two were made a striking resemblance would be found only in the title page. Among this grade are some Congressmen, Assemblymen, &c. , whose elevation may be attributed to a false public estimate of their abilities from reading their printed speeches. A work was published a short time ago in this city, and favorably notic ed by the press, the manuscripts of which would compare with the effort of "Chavvles Yellow plush ;" and it is really a read able book, but the compositor and proof reader made it so. Such writeis are a source of more vexation to the printer, than perhaps anything else withwhich he has to contend; while the necessity begets such a proneness, that others often appear to a disadvantage through his uncontrollable habit of altering and amending ; and thus the innocent suffer from his intrepid zeal in behalf of those who are really culpable.

Xo matter whether born in a cellar, she can sometimes be as lofty as a garret. When once she gets her back up, O cats dnd broomsticks! look out lor yourselves! one is mgti as Olympus, and savage as a sausage machine. In high wrath, she is as crazy as a bed bug, as strong as a tiger, and as terrible as a tornado. She can blaze away as though heaven, hell and earth were coming to close quarters; but in a few moments it is all over nobody killed. Then she comes down from the mountains whence she has been rolling big stones on the people below softens down to a j'lly, and becomes as quiescent as a goose pond after a tempest. The breeches won't fit she must resume the petticoat, and be a woman after all. My hearers how lovely is woman! Aye, she is amazingly sickly in her attach ments. She will cling to the chosen ob ject of her heart like a 'possum to a gum tree, and you can't separate her without snapping strings which no art ran mend, and leaving a portion of her soul upon the upper-leather of her affections. She will sometimes see something to love where oth ers can see nothing to admire; and when her fondness is once fastened on a fellow, it sticks like glue and molasses to a bushy head of hair. My hearers how childlike is woman! A plaything for herself, she is fond of eve ry plaything in the world's great toy shop. Iler home is the realm of fancy; her exis tence is the very ideal of reality; her ery miseries are mingled with a pleasing ro mance; her present is always bright and her future still brighter. Would that I were a woman, to be pleased with every posey that pops its head above the weeds of this wicked world, and have no thorns to molest me whilst gathering the wild flowers of imagination. Childlike, woman is ever happy. Tickled with the straw of flattery, delighted with every rainbow bubble that floats upon the wave of time as antic as a young coon by moonlight; and as merry as a cricket, she dances in the sunligt of joy and seems to use every en deavor to coax us male, moody mortals in to brighter and happier paths.
