The clash of arms interrupted further remonstrance. Demetrius and Gerald mounted their steeds, placing Ida on another horse between them. Thus disposed and surounded by devoted friends, they rushed to meet the advancing foe, now pour* ing into Missolonghi through the open gale. A furious battle ensued, but the handful of Greeks cut their way put tp the open country.

Meanwhile the ihfuriated Moslem inundated the city. A few, who like the patriarch, had refused to quit the place, retired fighting to the church* where tbey runged themselves woih,theif venerable loader before the ruined altar.

"T^skr^a LIGHT—1'* AUIOST HUMK.—^The following is related of a young girl whose journey of life was near its end

About the chamber glided the loved forms of her parents, and only sister. She silently noted their movements with aroiid expression of ber dying eye, lurniug it from side lo side. Arre&tsd by her peculiar looks so expressive of affliction and patient suffering they paused to look upon her, whom they saw but dimly through their tears and so soon should see no more?

A leebk* eflbft to speak, a quivering, voiceless movement of the lips, drew clo$e!y around ber the loving hearts of that sorrowing circle.'"."Mother, father, sister, all came closer to her side. A playful smile lit up her counlenance. She laid her little pulscfess hand within her mother's palm, then dosed her eyelids 10 the light of earth, and sank away. Tbe cold damp air of earth's shadowy valley seemed encircling over her. Slowly sinking down, she glided towards the river's shore which like a narrow stream, divides the spirit land from ours.— But the quivering Hps essay to speak! "Mother!" Oh! how each heart throbbed now, and then each pulse stood still. "Mother" the dying girl breaths ibrth, "1—see—a light-r-I am almost home!"

Blessed thought! Light is sown for the righteous, even amid the gloom /and darkness of the

The following article from the Granville (Ohio,) Intelligencer, will save us so much talk, in answering questions, as to why don't you do so and so, that we give it a place in the Journal, hoping every one will give it a fair perusal—and then ask themselves why they do not compete with Eastern men engaged in their peculiar line of business:

POSTMASTERS WILL PLEASE POST THIS, UP IN A CONSPICUOUS PLACE." The above or a similar sentence is invariably attached to the large prospectuses that are constantly sent out West from many ofthe Eastern publications. Now, what would any Eastern Postmaster say, were we to send him our prospectus, aud request he would post it up in some conspicuous placa? Why, hs would Uugh at our presumption and impudence, and well he might, and should treat it, as We held ours should those of onr Eastern brethren, with contempt. ft is the leek of a little energy on the part of those who oan benefit Ute country press, that continually keeps them in an unflourishing condition, Give us throe or four thousand paying subscribers, and We in'return will give you a paper worthy any community,* one that will be fully as^Dteresting and instructive as the "Mammoth Weeklies" of Boston, New- York and Philadelphia. It cannot, nor ought it to,be expected that a country paper, with only five or six hundred subscribers, can afford to pay the sarrfe attention fo^its columns and secure equal teSent with its contemporaries of the East. How oan they afford it unless they have patronage sufficient to warrant it? They canuot without sacrifipe, and great sacrifice too. "J

We often hear complaints ftliit we aoiioffurhilh enough matteir, tbat-our columns are itot as interesting aa in papers that may be had for nearly one* half the sum. |j| To all such we would say, pay us in advance, as many of you do your 'foreign' neighbors, and a circulation ofthree or four thousand, that's all, and you shall be accommodatcd in every respect with as good a paper. To be sure we will not furnish you every week with a column or two of puffs of ourselves—accounts of the great expense we have been to in running an overland express, and another column or two noticing the "tomfoolery" of some celebrated foreigners who are to exhibit at some of the theatres, ci sing at some musics! hall, &c. No" such things would be excluded, to give place for matter of more importance and usefulness. Nl*

From ihe PToujtb th* loom, afettiM AuAt. Kaa^nwat of OteBarftu

fishy perfpk oomifMia ab«M(t tb^otiproductivecess of their orcliarik. and their uItsuooe^sittlueas in propagating and cubiyaiing fra^ tfeeiCk N^w, Jthere must be some cau^Q for thts f«i)ura in raising and ^prodtfemg fmits. If thiiTcf^mate favora!le foir thb propagation of fro it trees if tbe looatkm be a good o©e, and if thetreas are nghily nanagrd*-anithe ground which they occupy, he well cultivated. tbe« is not the least obstacle* in tbe ^ayjo prevent sitcr cess in the production of fiuelfruit. Wo have ever been successful in producing nice apples, &-c., and our success is more to be attributed the fallowing plan of managing the orchard than to any thing «Uc lhat occurs to nie on t^6 subject:

We have 'otir' hog«pena situated at one rnrt of tbe orchard, so that tbe swine can make their ingress or egress fcto or out of the orchard at a!) lime*, except a few weeks in the f*U, when applqs, dec., begin lo Tall. B^: letting thrm have free access 10 the orchard, we stieoeed in producing the choicest kind of fruit. The amount of manure which they deposit under the trees and in Hie orehferd caus«i tbe ground to b« enriched, and produoes a rapid growth of grass, which is fed down by the calves, &c. And every one who is acquainted with the nattffB" of a hog must know That he is a great animal for practising friction or rubbing against what« ever comes in his way. Through bis robbing, the bodies of the tree are kept sfoooth that is, at Ute Collars of the stems, as fruiiculturists say. and thus a healthy action is apparently given to the whole plant.

We never rnovj our orchard, holding to the prtn» ciple that, grass only tends to absorb t^e very substance which causes fruit trees to flourish and become productive. Aud another thing: if orchards are converted into meadows, the ground around the trunks of tho trees is almost sure to be filled with ants and other insects. When hogs and oalves, dec., are allowed to run among the trees, these insects most generally disappear. We have been in the habjt of lotting our hoga and calve3, dcc., run iu our orchard for years, and when other people in the vicinity have failed of getting fruit, we hav£ most generally been successful in raising the very best kind of apples, &c. Undoubtedly, had wo kept the hogs, £c., out of th« orchard, and let the grass grow so high as to stifle and Injure ihe growth of the trees', we would uot have got any bene fruit than many of our neighbors.

Then, to sum up, if your orchard is favorably situated, and if the climate is congenial to the growth of trees, let your hrtgs, calves and poultry run in your orchards, if you would be blessed with nature's first productions. The idea, in my humbht estimation, of ploughing orchards when the trees have beoomo large is not at a|l a consistent one, for ploughing and harrowing only tei.d, and, in fact, do destroy the lateral roots of trees, and materially injure tbe fibres and spongials, which every one must know are absolutely necessary lo prodi4cp a vigorous growth in plants.

KOSSUTH WANTS HOT Expsxstva HONORS.— When the Magyar was iu Baltimore the Germans cf that city honored him with a grand torch light procession. In his address to them Kossuth said: You, as Germans ought to have known me better. You have reoeived me with a toroh-light procesion, which will coat at least 92J0. Much better would it have been, if you had handed that amount lo me, 6r bought guns with it, instead of spending it for so much smoke/

One of the committee expressed to him the willingness of the Germans to contribute liberally to ihe cause of Hungary, nr.d reoeived the answer:— •What does it matter whether you give ma (wo hundred dollars new or not! the other two bun* dred dollars are irredeemably lost/ is yciy evident from those expressions, and from many Others of a similar Import that have fal len from his lips, that Kossuth not only doe* not desire to see expensive pngaants gotten up in honor of himself, but is actually displeased with them, eon sidcring thai a truly rational sympathy for him and the cause of his country would seek to place 'mate* rial aid' in his hands, rather than empty honors up on his head. Would it not be well for our committees of reoeption to take these feint* into serious consideration?

LADIES: You caged birds of Beautiful plumage bui sickly looks, you jiale pets of the parlor, veggt ating in an unheedthy shade with a greenish white complexion like that of a potato sprout in a dark eel Isr—why dont you go out in the open air and warm sunshine, and add lustre to your steps anil vigor to your frames? Take early morning exeroiae—let loose your corset strings, and run up hill on a wager and down again for fun. Roam in the fields climb the fences, leap the ditches, wade the brook, and go home wiUi an excellent appetite, Liberty thus exercised and enjoyed will render you Iieulihy, blooming and beautiful.
