208 T S g 0 U T ! F OS T . t':- LADIES' DEPARTMENT ndal gilts, interspersed with rustic stands of flowers! Among these gifts' were, several from the Ducaj -family : a heavy silver lea-set from one of the pYjnces and .V massive silver goblet from his brother. Upon the goblet was engraved the motto alliuivd to, '; M it (.Jolt.' Both gifts were ac companied by an' affectionate letter from the pi in" ces, who, as young men, had been pupils of Ilink- The two .capacious .nuptial arm-chairs were al.-o gifts,..hav.ing be.cn exquisitely embroidered bv the fair hands of court lathes. Another gift was a cas ket .containing twelve massive golden spoons, frum a hundred citizens, whose names were subscribed ' to a printed letter of congratulation. Innumera ble embroideries and works of art covered the. o. h er tables. . There were two stands, however, near the aged rtir. which attracted most atteution.-g-t ne was covered with congratulatory letters, which had been received from distinguished men all over Germany, (and, indeed, all over Europe,) w hu t could not be-present on this o casioii. luterspersr . ed with these letters were those of lessdistiwuish ed, but equally admiring friends in the distance, -j. many of which letters were couched in glowing German rhyme the German.,. 'on every occasion that appeals to .his imagination or sensibility, find ing it difficult not to rhyme. This table, if from 'no other cause than affording autographs from ma ny of the nrst distinguished -men of Europe, was one of gi eat interest. The other table afforded a contrast to this. Perched, on the top of it; in rough and inelegant contrast with the flowers and other embellishments of the room, stood a sturdy, capacious German basket, iiink was now, virtu ally, to, begin life again, and the basket, with its contents, was a present from the young man t his youthful housekeeper. On lifting the cover, you discovered a row of fat sacks, with labels attached to them ; these labels reading sugar, sago, coffee, rice, Jlour, and meal. Touahing as were most features of thi- bridal scene, this happy . hft threw a litle gleam of quiet drollery about the whole, infinitely German, and diverting; occasion ally rendered 'much more-so by Kink, who, with a sly expression on his face, would now and then jog nis partner, anu point to tne basket. Aow it seems that the married children of .the venerable . matron bad vainly endeavored, previously, to in-: duce her to wear a rich bridal cap, becoming the . occasion. This, however the simple-hearted and retiring old lady, whose whole pride and heart were , centered in her husband, stoutly refused to d ; -'wishing him to be the centre of all interest and observation, while she stood quietly in the background, declaring that she! had not dressed herself simply her whole-life, to appear that day in her finery. Que of the daughters, however, had secretly worked fiber a very beautiful and becom ing cap. This cap was adorned with three deli cate wreaths. : the iSrst composed of blooming myr tle, to indicate the first "bridal ; the second, of sil ver leaves, to indicate the silver bridal, and the. trjiird wreath composed of golden leaves, but inter twined also with sprigs of the blooming myrtle, to indicate the golden bridal. - "While the venerable matron was busy receiving congratulations, her daughter stole up behind her, and dexterously drawing off her simple white eap, substituted it for the other. The old lady was" thus fairly .stolen a. march upon. She blushed in'" very virgin confusion, and. protested, amid the laughter and entreaties of all j present, that sh'e would not wear the cap,. She was overruled, how ever, and finally acquiesced, saying, that on tkrQ, day her naughty children might do what they-liked with her. The morning was spent in receiving the visits of friends, among whom, first on the ground, had been -Rink s royal pupilsj now mature men, who came as private friends, to sit down and have a chat with the old master. And until the dinner hour, was teard on the steps that led to his com. fortable, though unostentatious abode, the' clash of noble spurs, mingling with the tread of the inore humble citizens. Many remained to dine with the ve e a.louple, two long tables being filled with MUnm&ny baths had been proposed, THE GOLDEN BRIDAL. In Germany, as we mentioned a week or two ago, the celebiation of the fiftieth wedding day, is styled the Golden Bridal. Why it is so called and how beautiful the ceremonial of the occasion is, will be seen from the article annexed, by Mr R. Storrs Willis. Mr. Willis, had, the good fortune to be present, a few years ago, at the Golden Bri dal of the venerable and distinguished composer, Rink, of Hesse Darmstadt, a man of singular sim : plicity and purity of character, revered as much for his piety as for his genius.' We copy from the Musical World:" The golden bridal of the old master was to be celebrated. Residing at the time in aneighbouring city, with some of the near rela tives of the family, ve started the day before the celebration for the house, where preparations were already making for the . event. The rooms into which the old couple (or rather the young engag ed pair, as we had now to consider them) were not allowed to enter, were exquisitely decorated with flowers, and embellished with the various ornamen tal articles and gifts which, from all friendly quar terSj had confe pouring in. The next morning, at ; an early hour, the venerably-youthful pair were al ready receiving their visiters. The bridegroom and bride sat side, by side in two great arm-chairs, the very picture of mellow and serene old age. Sus pended above them hung the portraits of both, which were taken at a much earlier period, but which seemed not half so beautiful in their youth ful lineaments as the venerable heads, which now, in the serene Indian summer of life, rested be neath them. Erom two large vases below, on ei ther side of the portraits, snrancr two vigorous '. shoots of living ivy, which ascended and enwreath ed tlie portraits, forming a kind of triumphal arch for those beneath it : for, the accomplishment of fifty years of such unclouded and successful mar ried life as that of the old master and his spouse,. .. could well be regarded as a triumph, and as such be celebrated. On either side of the two arm-' chairs, also, stood a flower-stand covered with blooming flowers, which fiiled the room with their fragrance. But it was difficult to say which was the; more, beautiful, the flowers, or the classic head of life old master ; which, snowy white, with the most silken of silvery hair, was embowered among. them. The room was encircled with tables, cov ered wiih ! and toasts drank,, the old man retired, as usual, to take a few moments of mid-day 'repose, which his advanced age had, within a few years, rendered ne- . cessary. While he was doing tis, however, in an adjoining apartment had been quietly collecting a group of singers, meditating for him a musical sur prise. A signal by one of the family was given, when the slumbers of the old man were finished, and immediately this chorus of thirty young voices, began s'inging a beautiful ehurjeh .cantata, which ' Rink had composed when v ery young. The door opened as they sang, and Rink appeared in the opening. He had4 ho sooner jseen the singers, many of whom had been his pupils, and recognized the tones of his early devotionalj music, than lifting the little velvet cap which always covered his head, ' his silvery hair floated out, and raising his glistea ing eyes to God, to whom these' solemn tones were addressed, he seemed for a moment overcome with gratitude to Him.. The old people were now con ducted to the two bridal arm-chjairs, and the music was resumed for the singer! had come prepared to furnish Rink with an afternoon concert. A space was left between the arra-chairsi and the piano fac ing them, around which the singers collected. The music was conducted by the court chapelmaster, who was a young man affianced to afair maid of the Rhine. (An affianced couple in Germany, are called bride and bridegroom.' A composition, written for the occasion by the young bridegroom, was performed, and at its close he came forward with a laurel wreath, and, approaching Rink, placed it upon the. head of the old master, and kissed him. The young bride then approached the 'mother, placed on her head a myrtle wreath, and kissed her alsOj As the afternoon wore onj, and all the assem bled" guests had testified their respect and love for the venerable couple, the concert, was finally closed, . by an Epithalamium, which, as Ian humble offering on my own part, I had composed for the old cantor, being unwilling that America,: in whose churches the solemn voice of the old master had so often been heard, should alone seem insensible to the homage due to genius. The German words for the Epithalamium, were written by Schnyder von Wartensee, and the piece was performed bv a cfioir of about thirty singers in very effective style. The evening was merrily spent with German games, music, and dancing, and concluded with a glorious supper. And thus ended that delightful festival. Risk's Goldkn Bridal." YOUTHS' DEPARTMENT. THE EMPi-ROE, AND THE YANKEE ; OR, AMERICAN PERTINACITY. The following amusing occijirreuee is quoted bv Fiederika Bremer, in her late work on America, as from the letters of Mrs. Child, and gives a graphic illustration of a prominent feature in American character. The adventurous youth alluded to was the brother of the lion. Charles Summer, one of the present Senators in Congress from Massachu setts. Instead, however, of coming immediately to this country, as! the story intimates, he pursued his tmvels in the East, and wasi returning home 'in the ill-fated brig Elizabeth, w ith Margaret Fuller -.Ossoli,'ahd with her, perished in the wreck of that vessel off the southern shore otj Long Island. The date of the following scenes was about 1837, when the lion. George M. Dallas, since Vice President, was our minister to the court of Russia : One day a : lad, apparently about nineteen, presented himself before our, ambassador at St. Petersburg. He was a pure specimen of the genus Yankee with sleeves too short for his bony arms, irowsers half way irp to his knees, and hands play ing with coppers and tenpenny nails in his pockets, "lie introduced himself by saying " IV ed just come out here to trade with a .few Yankee notions, and I want to get a sighttof the Emperor." " Why do you wish to see him ?" ,."I've brought him a present all the way from A'meriky. I respect him considerable, and I want to get at him and. give it to him with my own hands." ' , ' - I Mr. Dallas' smiled as he answered "It is so com mon a thing, my lad, to make crowned heads a present, expcting something handsome in return, that I am afraid the Emperor will consider this only a Yankee, trick. What have you brought V " An acorn." "An acorn ! What under the sun induced you to bring the the Emperor of Russia an acorn ?" Why just before I sailed, mother and I wen.t out to Washington! to see about a pension ; and when we was there, we thought we'd ju.t step' over to Mount Vernon, I picked up this acorn there; and I thought to myself 11 bring it to the empe ror. Thinks, says I, he must .have heard a consi derable deal about o'ur General Washington, and ' I expect he must admire our institutions. So now you see I've brought it, and I jvvant to get at him." " My lad, it's not ah easy matter for a stranger D to approach the Emperor; and I am afraid he will take no notice of your present: You had better keep it." "I tell you I want to have a talk with him. I expect I can tell fiim a thing ortwo about Ameriky. I guess he'd like, mighty well to hear about our railroads, and about our free schools, and what a big swell our steamers cut. And when he hears how our people are getting on, may be itwill put him up to doing something. The long and short on't.is, I shan't be easy till I get a talk'with the said Jus wife could speak better English than he could. So I weni again yesterday ; and she's a fine knowing woman, I tell you, and her daughters are nice gals." v " Oh she asked me a sight o' questions. Don't FARMERS' DEPARTMENT. BULES FOR WINTEB.

It costs, on an average five dollars a year to raise a common cow, in the common way, to maturity, at four years old and then you barely get twenty dollars for it. It may cost you seven dollars a year to raise a fine 'made to maturity, at three years old, ami you will ret fatty dollars for it. As regards horses the differ ence is greater still. Depend on it, no one ever made money on stock by half starving and neglect but you cannot fail to make money, if you breed - juduiouslv nnd shelter liberally. 7. If you would grow profitable crops, and prevent your hind from being impoverished, you must manure liberally. This, manure vou must either make or buy, if you can rind anv one to sell ii, ror our lands must have vegetable, as well as mineral manures. Now, if you allow vour cattle and sheep to run loose all winter, you will make; no manure. The annual difference is, probably - on a common farm, twentv him j - " v " w v vlj twenty dollars.

Farmer's Companion and Hort. Gazette. Cure for swelled Face and Tooth ache. To ' reduce the swelling of the fate caused by tooth ache, make a hnament of the tincture of belladona. j two drachms ; laudanum, one draebm.; spirits of hartshorn, half ounce ; and rub the face frequently with it. The following is an excellent remedy for tooth- 'acho: Dissolve one drachm of tannic acid, in one ounce of chloroform, and apply to the tooth with a piece of raw cotton. A small quantity should also be rubbed on the gums and outside of the face. If this application be faithfully used, it seldom fails to relieve the pain. Measuring Graik in Bulk. To reduce solid feet to bushels, multiply the number of solid feet by 45 and divide the product by 56 ; the quotient will be the number of bushels. Beason. As one bushel contains 2150 2-5.inches, one solid foot is 45,56 of a bushel. ; ' Example. How many bushels in a box or crib -n8 feet long, 4 feet wuje, and 2 feet deep ? Multiply the length by the width and depth; and the product by 45, which divided by 56, gives 21 3-7 ; the number of bushels which the box contains. HUMOROUS A CHICKEN STrW Col. R. and Gen.

Some idea of the value of apples, says the 'Rome Sentinel, as an article of profit to the farmer, may be found in the fact that no less than 17,000 barrels have been purchased by two buyers, chiefly in the towns of Kirkland, Marshall, anc Augusta, and shipped east to market. The amount received is about $20,000. The Rochester Union says the crop of this valua ble fruit is light in that section. Buyers for the eastern markets have been active in purchasing the product of many orchards. No less than 500 bar rels were shipped by canal from that city eastward in the last two days. The price paid has been about 1,25 per barrel. A .1. ...Ml I . ucii et:us win mii-r th,.... " -'"-ii a unto tt thev trnnblft vnn miw.l. .7,ii.
