Too Goon TO RE Lo&T.—- A young man at a social party, was U'ced to sing a song. He teplieduial he would first Telftr TtoryrTmrl then if they persisted in their demtnd ho would endoavor tn execute n song. When a boy he said he tnnk lessons in singing, nnd one Sun day morning he wont up into his f.ither'« gar ret* 'tp_ practice alone by himself.

The young man was excused from singing the proposed song. MAKING HIS MARK.—A gentleman one Sun- tiny morning watched u country girl on the high road from the village to the church, and observed that, she'louktid hitliei an J tliiihor, this way and that, upon the road, as if she hnd lost her thimble^ or some other valuable.— Tho'bolls wero setting Tor prajyersv, aiidlfcere-f was no one visible on the\ road, except the -girl and, the gentleman, whff* recognized in licrtbe errand maid of a neighboring farmer. <l What ore you looking for, myjjirl P'Hwked tho gentleman, ns the damsel Continued to pore along th<5 dusty road.

He lived only for money, nnd what he called quiet. He rarely spoke; and when he d/d it was to deliver some dry, linrsh, business max im or administer some withering brief rebuke. I was a very wild—boy, und frequently made sad bavoc of the rich cut glass entrusted to my charge. I remember t lie first time. 1 broke some thing I had heedlessly trundled n hoop, in a Inrge- upper loft containing many costly lamp shades, and my sport resulted in tire destruction of about thirty dollars worth of property. Affrighted I ran to the old clerk and made him acquainted with uiy anUfor- • What shall I do V was the query sub- was tlie query mitted. « What do yon mean to do?' inquired ho. •Tell our employers.' « That would be more honest than wise, 1 said he in a sneering tono.

What pnng In the cabin, upon a large settee, sat eight wretched boihgs, linked tngelhor as well by iriine, as by the iron bracelets that bound their nrists and made them fust to a long chain which was secure against breakage or tlte at tempts of tho convicts or their friends. Around those eight unfortunates were clustered malos and females of all :<gei. Beautiful young girls with the blush of vircin innocence* mantling on their checks, nnd the radiance of truth and simplicity boaining in their eyes, stood there cdfftemjilaiTrig \the perversion oTiho attributes-] they possessed, an J wondering to what depth nf-horror r minery ond-woe couldieacik Aged hard-featured men with no charity in their hoarts, synipathy banished from their natures, nere sneering aloud, nnd t :i ]kiiig~of _ ilie—veir geanre of the oQended la«s, forgetting that the oiiji-ct of prisons slionTtTlfo refbTintidon instead of vengeance, and nNo wanting to be reminded that thc> were violating the finest and most beauljful f rincipje^ upon which God himself renrpd tlte guiding creed ol th6 world g crec Women—the mothers of the young girls, nml.- up part of the congregation, nnd indul* <*ni\ in riirinn s rpm:irl.-<i at tn linw thff prisnn- ers felt, and whether tbfy had parents living, wivi's-or childron. And then these matrons ricd the latter and lived in wretchedness wi'.IF jlior-durJng JL tp.rm of Jiventy-fn-o years. 1 thought it more honest than wise to let her manage a large simoutit of property which by right belonged to her; but over which I had ^discro'\>ii n ry pnwnr, : \'d so I ton k u«fr6m her, ind, she—Ilieaven nost thoughtM.oCthose then degraded convicts, Among the classes wo have enumerated were sever.tt very rough, hard looking men who \ere probably candidates for the hard lot of die pnor creatures they ivcro tormenting. Wc have often thought that bating crimi nals with curious looks; converting pnsoneis lo tho purposes of menageries, und leveling prisoners lo the grade of rare animals in cages, should beabolishpd by those whose power can i cme -l v tho great evil. Tho moment the doors of a prison close upon the wretch doomed to stay within for a certain term, that moment all \eyes belocging to the great world without should 16'so sight of him. Many a felon is prevented from returning to the j)ur*uit of honest employments by- hundreds who hnvo -seen-Jiun la thjMrjn^b of th _o_£oiivict. The fear of exposure deters him from ossnylng a useful w.ilk in life upon the restoration of his liberty, put we are digressing. Two of tho unforiunatcs in the chain were negroc, and one other was n woman. Be tween a iifgni iintl n woman was an old man^ whose commanding, Rom.m profile, und singu- j-larly atlilcUcJbiun was pnlrnlntnd IQ attract attention. The expression of the face was pe culiar. It carried an indefinable something which seemed to insist upon having rocpeel and sympathy. It was not the face of a low It betrayed villain nor that of a bad man. full play ho was suddonfy sent for by the o -|d4iirmness, great firmness. Tho unvarying glunco of tho grey eye, the sharp cut lines of the faco, the stern, bold forehead, and tho thin compressed hps, betokened u cruel disposition. The dress worn by this old man was such as would be worn by u tradesman in easy circum stances. Convinced that ho was convicted of- no common crime, and sympathizing with the old man, we sought portuission of (lie officers in charge of' tho gang to speak with him.— This was granted. We approached tho old man with some dif fidence, and addressed him bimply with ' Good day, Mr..' The reply was courteous and gentlemanly, but brief and not inviting further converse— conversation. His style was unaffected nnd exhibited a well cultivated mind. He con versed upon tho current topics .of tho day, showed himsetf perfectly fnfnihof with politics, delivered many judicious opinions of the like\\ 1 ly result of measures llie.ii. bsforo Congress, nnd altogether seemed so like a merchant chatting in his counting hou<o that we entirely lost sight of his position, although, to converse with him we were obliged to stand in a most' unpleasant cheek-by-juwl proximity to the ne gro. The landing ol passenge>s*at-one of the Tn termed iaxo stopping places diverted our-aU tention, and made us fully aware or, flio.poof man's destiny. Witliout reflection nn3 with an abruptness that startled ^nrselyes, ive o'ked— ' What has brought you in contact with theso creatures, nnd entitled you to- a -place among theimotley group .of prisoners at Sing Sing?' Not a muscle of tho man!a_foce moved. In tho same tone of voice in which he had spo ken of tho sub-treasury hill he quietly said— '•Draw near iviili your little coTTrpartimi, and let him hear. My little story may do him some good, and if you are wise yotl will also profit by it. I am here in consequence of Jinving adhered through lifo, to tho very spirit and letter of an' old sentence in general use. My prospects were not very brilliant in early life*. At twelve years ofage J was obliged to go into a wholesale warehouse as nn .errand boy and porter. The wares dealt i» were' crocker ry and glass,*and much caro was required to prevent bteakages and accidents. I hadfll friend (as 1 thought) an old clerk whose heafn seemed a bubble. Nothing could move him establishment fifteen years, mid during that time was always more wise than honest. So We saw yesterdnv, at the residence of Mr. Rnmulus B . G. Grilfiih, in this city, n counter pane made by Mr?. Ann Warner,\ of Hartford county, Md.,*n lady now in her 94th year. *It is a beautify! article both as a sppciinen or fine needle work and in respect to the taste displayed in the arrangement of, the numberless pieces nf winch it is composed.

I Jo not nle .an to say that I became a thief in the common acceptation of the term. My dishonesty Avas the species termed worldly wisdom. I thought it more honest than wise to bestow a trifle in charity.

I acknowledged the justice of his claim for mercy; but to let him escape would bo I argued more honest than wise—the world would shun me—and so I maimed him for life. And for that I am on my way to tuke up ray abode initio cell of a felon.' The old man paused, and fixing his eyes upon the littlo boy with us, said, in a torle that we can never forget—' • Ahvnys be honest. To be honest is to be wise. Honesty is wisdom, nnd there is no possibility of a man being more honest than wise. 1 confess that this truth never struck me until to day, when the officer il&rf chain ed me with ih\^mgrOi'^~-Noahts-WcckhjJU£S scnger.* from others, in such debate right, than be President.' His magnanimity has, nn more occasions than one, barfed the ihior to Tm advancement, irrtlie-case-of-the-nolopinus chameof'fiarg'oiii.'icir the election of Mr. Adams, in 1S35, it has for nearly a quarter ofa century, been in the power of Mr. Clay, at any moment, to prove by positive evidence that the dishonora ble proposals were made by those who brought the charge, but who, havingljecn spurned, nnd an ticipating an arrangement on the count, were first in court, with a gross fabrication in their right hand. But magnanimity, and that to a political opponent, who was himself the agent in this transae'lioa, has hitherlo kept the key to the secret. In a future page of this woik it'will be unlocked.\ CLOVER.—Clover is less exhausting to the soil than almost any other crop. It derives. much nourishment from tho atmosphere; and its Tap-rebis, penetrating the soil to-o-great-depib, break and pulverizo it, and fit it admirably for the reception ~at Trllnge-cropes We eonsider tho use of clover as cattlo food, great as it is. but secondary importance to the former —its most profitable uses being (6 feed crops and fur nish seed. No green crop is so serviceable as manure; and tho second crop of the early vari ety may be profitably preserved for scad. We have recorded in the Cultivator the practise of Mr, of Tompkins county, who has convert ed a poop-ftjm into one of great productiveness —almost'entirely the use of clover. He sows the seed liberally, preferring the early or southern variety. This he'foods till the 20lh of June, or, if it is-to be mown, he cuts it by the 25th of that month. He thoo leaves it far a second or seed crop; and after this is off, he generally turns up the ley for a winter or spring olop. Thus the first cfop serves to food his cattle; tho second serves the double |)ui'|)dtid <i( feud iog his cattle nnd filling his purse, for tho We \persevered however; tiul mp^lihtrinf^g\ P roduco 18 4 or ° ftybeb por aero of ' -. . ° OOBH ,l ,n etAm q nTO rnrnltlllv. aavn H nnrf- OA.-UA seed, tho stems are carefully- saved, and* serve for cattle food and litter; while the roots and foliago-left upon I he field, g o to fortihze it for ibo next crop.— Cultivator. 05 s ' A medical student-of Berlin foil deeply in love'with (he daughter of the lady ot whoso houBe ho lodged ; his passion was warmly re turned, and the lovers swore oternal fidelity ond entered into a promise to marry But (hero was an insurmountable obstacle to their union, in thd fact of the lady being a Protestant Christian, and the gentleman a Jew ; and both, professed lbGmselvwjio- less attached to thoic_respectiye| failh than to each other**.

Judge Story was horn in MarUehcad, in 1779, and was the eldest child of a respectable, physi- cian^Dr. Elisko_Story,, hy Jus second jnarnagc, and, by the early death of his futher, sustained the parental relation tn the numerous junior mem bep of his family, and was the stay and the Rtafi\ of his aged mother, who still survives him in a vigorous old age.and with an unimpared ink Heel .Judge Story received his early education at a scluiul lung—distinguished P «r th\ \hihly nf im instructors, the Murblehcad Academy, It was under tharJiitrgn nf R .pypri»nil jOr, Iliirns, then Episcopal clergyman in Morblehcail, and after wards President of Columbia College, in the city of New York, and of Michael Walsh, the a is\ tingtiished mathematician, who was the writing master and mathematical teacher of that school. Judge Story entered college in his sixteenth year. In. college hewos distinguished by that indefatigable industry which has been his char acteristic through hie. Whilst there he studied sixteen hours a day, leaving only eight hours for sleep and exercise.
