Till: LITTLE IE A ID. A little ballad- a little original. Fri?m the Baltimore Transcript. There was a lutle rr.au!, Who wore a little bonnet, She had a little finger With a little ring upon it. She Ecrewcd her little waist To such a little size, That it made her little blood Rush to her little eye;?. This pretty little maid Had a pretty little beau, Who wore p. little hat, And gloves as white as snow. He said his little heart Was in a little flutter That he loved the little nintd, And no enc eke but her. She Fmiled a little smile, When ho breathed his little vews: And he kissed her little hand, With many little bews. By Hul-j and little Her lir'.le heart did yield, Till little tears and sighs Her little heart revealed. A YiV.le wlr-le alas! And her little beau departed, With all his little vows', And left her broken hearted. Now, all yc little maids, A.mOral I will give you; fton't trVtsiti little men, They surely will deceive you.

CCRIOl'S FACT CNNKCTKl) WITH THE N Alt KAL f IsTORV lV THE SALMON. A very stellar and inexplicable instinct has been ascribed to the salmon, but which has been doubted and

disputed It manv evenol those who have turned their

attention to the subject. The fact to which we allude is, the propensity of salmon to return from sea to the identical rivers wherein they were spawned. This lias now been established beyond the possibility of doubt. In the report of our townsman, Mr. Robert Iluisr, superintendent of the river Tay, under the act for the protection of the breed of salmon, given in the meeting of herritors in October lat, he noticed a curious experiment made last breeding season in certain small fishing rivers in Sutherlandshire. These rivers disembogue themselves in Loch Skie, and no salmon were 3cr known to havecxisted in their waters tafore, but as they seemed to be well adapted for breeding thir species of fish, the Duke of Sutherland, the proprietor cf these rivers, resolved to have them planted with salmon. Accordingly several pair were carried from other rivers to which they were indigenous and placed i:i these during the breeding season, and there they deposited their spawn. T he result was awaited With consilerable interest, as calculated to set at rest the disputed question. It apr-'eftrs by a letter .Mr. Huist has j ist received from his correspondent there, that the experiment has been successful. The subject is no

!oubt of great interest to those concerned with the fisncrios, and those who are curioiu in this department of natural history. The lettc states: "O ir last yoars planting of salmon has returned to the same mors this year. In the commencement of the close time we carried salmon to one of the rivers where we put them, last year, and left two of these rivers without putting any into them, to ascertain w hether the salmon in reality did or did not return to the rivers where they were spawned ; and at the usual time of spawning we found a few pair in each ofthe.se rivers, where never a salmon was seen before the hh we put into them last year, so

lhatweean have no doubt ol every river having its own breed of salmon, and that they will return to their own rivers unless interrupted oa the passage, or encouraged into other rivers by an unusual quantity cf water. I never believed in this doctrine until 1 had the experience of it from ".he ddll-rent sizes we have in the many rivers of tho north. I hac ? t ulied all this with great care, an 1 I may say now I am a complete disciple to these habits of the salmon."1 Perth Ctm-fihttintial.

of the agriculturist, when, if we mistake not, there is none so peculiarly blessed. The tiller of trie soil, although his lot may not be cast in the midst of brilliant enjoyments, has, perhaps, a greater share of lifes com-

iTorts than any other individual. Withdrawn from the

never ending termoil and bustle 61 ti city life he dwells upon his farm, surrounded by every thing calculated to render existence desirable. It is true, to him the georgeous spectacle and the splendid rout, the gay apparal of fashion, and its round of amusing insipidities, are known by description, but, in their stead, he possesses

the free, w holesome air and the bright sunshine of

heaven and enjoys the quiet companionship of nature i i its loveliest attire. To him, each day, that passes is fraifght with peaceful pleasures the repetition of which, brings no satiety, and the result of which is health, mental and physical. LTnannoyed by feverish excitements and artificial wants, he feel no privations, save those which the fertile soil can supply under the management of juducial indistry. His fields and his Hocks furnish him whereon to be fed, and w herewith to be clad, and although his fare may be simple and his clothing plain, they are all that is necessary for support and protection. In the absence of those falsely styled pleasures, that madden and exhaust his gratifications become the more delightful from the tccnliar appitudc for enjoyment which they produce. Iiet the currency be as it may let trade

languishandimprovcmcnt cea.se, to him they arc mat

ters of bet secondary importance, not involving more of his comforts than can be dispensed with, easily and with almost no sacrifice of feeling. Should plague, pestilence and famine spread their influence over the land, he would look on with comparative composure, for he feels a ware that to him and his household, the woes that await on their presence can never be more than theoretical. Immediately dependent on a kind providence for the blessing he enjoys, he is taught to rely with confidence on the great First Catfsc, for the reward of his toil, and to him the seasons of ced time and of harvest are but alterations of hope anil fruition.

Most assuredly then, of all lots on earth that of the j

worker ol the soil is the most independent, and consequently the most enviable.-: American. l'ATENTlil TVER. We learn from the Silk Culturist that the Emperor of Rusia has issued a patent to one of his subjects, for anew method of making butter. It is thus: simmer

I the milk, w hile still sweet, 13 minutes, taking care not

to burn it, and llicn churn it. The butler comes very soon, and is of a quality much superior to that made in the common mode. It is richer and preserves its flavor mu'di longer; and the milk, being left sweet, retaining its value lor ordinary uses.

The consequence was, that the young fellow had to persist in his mimickry while he remained in the room. A punster happening, by some strange accident, to get into the society of Dr. Johnson, observed that he was extremely proud of having been born on the same day with so great a man. "Sir," said the Doctor, "if it be so, you have the rmsfortue to be fifty years old." "I'm older than that? said the wag. "Not if we were born on the same day," said the Doctor. "I beg your pardon, added itiewtf," You are Hfty, and I am fifty too." A rOOR SITUATION BETTER THAN NONE. The following conversation actually took place the other day between two cabmen :-"I say, Tom, have you seen Jem lately? ' "No not for along while because he's got the influency." "Well, 1 am glad of that, poor fellow, for he's been out of a situation for along time."

An old joker. -Ii is said of Benjamin Spencer, w.o recently died at (lamorshir, in the 100th year of his age, that his humor and teeth contained so unimpaired, that he could crack both nuts and jokes to the last. .( Women and men of retiring timidity arc cowardly

Original anecdote. An Irish officer of distinction attended a ball, but was not as proficient in dancing as in the use of his sword. While standing up in a" cotillion, his partner called his attention to a young man opposite, who had previously exhibited much skill as a dancer, in the act of mimicing the movements of the officer, w ho was of gigantic proportions. A little observation convinced him that it was the intention of the young gallant to ridicule him; and, therefore, stepping up towards kirn, he inquired, "Is that ye're natural way of dancing?" He was answered that it was.

" wen," says the officer, "if so, by Js if I catch you

but your comprehensive

mind has acted upon the noble principle of advancing the interests of the country, and the whole country; and the whole country honors, you as her gifted son. Although many of us have never before had the pleasure of meeting with you personally, rest assured, sir, you are no stranger here, for the citizen of Illinois points to you with pride as the Great American Statesman and Patriot, whose efforts, whoso services, and whose character have reflected new honor on our land. Sir, we meet here t6 day to bid you welcome. No splendid procession can attend you no magnificent rc-

Unue can accompany you, lor we are but the 1 loncers of a new find comparatively unsettled country. But, sir, wc point you to a fine and fertile land aland rich in its mineral wealth, and in its traditional lore a land where but a few short years ago, nought was seen but, the wigwam of the red man V here blazed the cor.ricil fires of his chief, and where the untutored savage, in the simplicity of his nature, worshipped tlfe Great Spirit w ho rode amid clouds and darkness. Wc point you, sir, to the little fort with its block house and loop holes, where the gallant Atkinson and his noble band defied the rifle and the tomahawk of the merciless savage. Wc point you, sir to these beautiful prairies nature's own flower garden, which roll before you,

which are destined soon to be adorned by the home of

the settlor, and to be ripe and waving with the golden

harvest we point you to these hardy and enterprising freemen, the pioneers of the Far West some of whom

are from the sea girt isle some from Old Erin, and some from your much loved state not driven here by crime or want, but animated by an ardent desire to build up a new and growing country, all of whom .entertain for yc'ur character and conduct the mostgreatcful respect. We trust, sir, you may be pleased with your sojourn among us we hope that you will return to the cast, gratified with your Western tour. What

wc have, willingly wo extend to you. Our hospitality may be rough, but it is sincere and unaffected it is the tribute of respect; it is the offeiing of the heart. That your life may be long spired to your friends and to your country and that the highest honors of a grateful people may yet be yours, is the ardent wish of my fellow citizens who now surround you, and in their name and in their behalf, I bid you welcome! welcome!.' thrice welcome! to our land. Mr. Webster responded to this speech in a most .eloquent reply, which we regret is not in our power, to fur-

nisn. it was, however, worthy of his ereat name anu
