CONSTANTINOPLE.
Constantinople has not yet lost her im
portance. "The genius of the place,"
says Gibbon, u will ever triumph over the
accidents of time and fortune." What
part is she next to act ? To the eye that
can appreciate the power of moral instru
mentalities, he appears even now the
scene of a movement, the importance
and the results of which cannot be over
calculated. When Rome admitted the
obscure prisoner who had "appealed"
from Felix "to Ca-sar," she received
into her bosom the element of a revolu
tion incomparably greater and more last
ing than that of her Brutus. When
Constantinople, about twenty years ago,
received the band of American laborers,
who went thither to plant the truths of
the gospel, and the free ideas of the west
ern republic, the fulcrum was silently set
up, and the lever adjusted, which is to
overturn the whole system of eastern
despotism and build up Christian schools ;
these are the artillery which American
hands are now plying at this new siege
of Constantinople an artillery more pa
cilic, but infinitely more effectual than the
great cannon of 3Iohammed.
It is remarkable enough that the cap
ture of Constantinople by the Turks was
the very event which secured it as an
open field of Christian efforPiu the nine
teenth century, and as the great base of
operations for the social and moral re
generation of Asia. In the possession
of a nominally Christian despotism, it
would have been closed impenetrably
against all such efforts and influences.
Were the Grejk empire and the Greek
Church in full and combined strength at
this day, as they were before the middle
of the fifteenth century, printing presses,
chools, the preaching of the gospel, and
free discussion on all subjects, which
would be as much oat of the question at
Constantinople, as they now are at Vi
enna, Madrid, Naples, or St. Petersburgh.
The Greek Patriarch has actually done
all that he could or dared do in opposi
tion to the reformation ; and nothing but
the check of Ottoman irovernment has
prevented him from persecuting even to
death those who had forsaken that cor
rupt church, or protested against its er
rors. JSo power hates, resists, and per
secutes the gospel like a false form of
Christianity. In no city in the world is
the Bible so scarce as at Home. No
where is every bud of religious life nip
ped with so prompt and mutit: a jian j
The strange and incredible violence witn
which Dr. Kins has been persecuted at
Athens, though an acknowledged bene
factor of the Greek race, contrasted with
the almost perfect liberty enjoyed by our
cotmrrynirrt -atrtrii ufiue ul imuuian
power and superstition, presents this fact
in the strongest light. It would not be
so, of course, if the TurkLh empire were
such as it was four centuries ago. Tur
key tolerates, not because the is humane j
or friendly to truth, but because she is I
weak. The complicated exigencies of
her po.-ition compel her to consult all the
Christian powers : and the joint product
of her concessions is that indiscriminate
toleration -which mnkos Constantinople
more open to all kinds of free and Chris
tian agencies than any other city of con
tinental Europe or of Asia.
At the same time, the whole world
could not, perhaps, have offered a more
central and commanding position for such
operations. There almost all the lan
guages of Asia may be learned, and al
most all the tribes of Asia reached;
thence the Eastern churches may be viv
ified ; there terminate the great avenues
of Asiatic trade and travel. Its import
ance will immeasurably increase, too, as
the vast and fertile regions lying on the
shores and penetrated by the rivers of
the Black Sea, are peopled and civilized,
and their energies and resources freed
from the incubus of Turkish and Russian
tyranny. Constantinople is yet to act a
more important part in history than it has
ever yet acted. Wonderful it is, indeed,
that its apparent los3 to Christendom in
the fifteenth century should have insured
its possession in the nineteenth, at the
very time w hen it is most needed, and
when its occupation can be made the
most effective !
" When I was very young," says Du
cas, " I heard wise and venerable men
say that the end of the power of the
Ottomans would come at the same time
with the downfall of the dynasty of the
Pakeologi. We, therefore, who have
lived to witness this last calamity of time,
and have seen this dire and unutterable'
disaster filling upon our race, with fer
vent prayers to God, who chasteneth and
healeth again, wait for our redemption."
Four weary centuries have passed away ;
and, however superstitious may have
been the ground of the historian's hope,
it seems now to be on the eve of a more
sublime fulfilment than he, perhaps, in
the bosom of a corrupt church, a falling
state, and a dark age, was capable of an
ticipating. CT Mathematics is the great Rosetta

ATTILA AND THE HUNS.
BY J. O. XOYES, M. D.
The eastern part of Europe is a mosaic
of nationalities. A Hungariap poet saj s
that his unfortunate country contains
numerous representatives of every race
inhabiting Europe and Asia. When a
student of medicine at Vienna, I often
counted, in the great hall of the Univer
sity, the representatives of twenty-five
different nations, speaking as many lan
guages, and exhibiting almost every type
of the human race. Hungary, as well
as the Danubian Principalities, lay ex
actly in the path which the nomades of
Asia followed in their migrations to the
West. All of these wandering nations,
of whom the complete history remains to
be written, left behind them, in the region
of the Lower Danube, traces of their
nationality, their Eastern institutions,their
nomadic and semi-barbaric life. I say
semi-barbaric; for their history, especially
that of the Huns, was written by their
enemies, the Latins, who were ultimately
obliged to succumb to the impetuous force
of the Eastern conquerors. At the ac
cession of Attila to the Hunuic throne
their empire extended from the Western
confines of Asia to the bases of the Alps.
A barbarous and ferocious character was
given them, as also to the other nomadic
nations from the East, by the enervated
descendants of the brave old Romans,
who, in their time, would have defied
Attila, as they did Hannibal, even at the
gates of Rome. The so-called " Scourge
of God" erected his " iron throne" near
Buda in Hungary. This name was given
him by the priests ; but, on the other
hand, Attila was a wise and generous
ruler, cruel only to his worst enemies.
His court was one of unusual splendor
for those early times. The Roman Pris
cus lias left us a full description of the
palace of Attila at Josbereny. There he
collected around him the wisest and most
polite men of the age, and treated them
with royal magnificence. There is rea
son to believe that certain alphabetical
signs were already employed to represent
the sounds of the Hunnic language
cigns which afterwards disappeared amid
the ruins of the empire of Attila. Even
the art of engraving in relief was well
known among them.
The great Hunnic king was a person
of remarkable sobriety and simplicity.
There is no better proof of his not hav
ing been what the Latin authors repre
sented, than that Honoria, the sister of
Valentiuian III. requested his hand in
m -ire. The proud sister of the Em
peror, irritate his not perm;tt;llg her
to espouse a noble Ron) gccretiv sent
a courier to the court of Attila, with a
time at iuv same
with hknk t0 rellair t0
his bride. She also ...
as a picuge oi ner aucction, ana tu.
wuicn sue desired, to contract. Attila,
supposing, at first, that it was merely a
ruse on the part of the Roman Emperor,
gave a cold response to the singular re
quest of Honoria. Sixteen years later,
however, inspired more by political con
siderations than by the tender passion, he
demanded her of the courts of Ravenna
and Constantinople a3 a bride, together
with a goodly portion of the Roman
Empire, as a dowry. Valentinian IH.
responded that Honoria was married, and,
moreover, that she had no right to any
part of the empire an answer that did
not satisfy Attila. The signal of war
was given, and, at the voice of their king,
the pevplode of the coasts of the Baltic,
the banks of the Volga and the Danube
assembled at the confluence of the Rhine
and the Xeckar, to reduce the Western
Empire. The Hunnic ration itself be
came dismembered soon after the death
of Attila, in the year A. D. 453,
The Huns, like most of the Orientals,
had a plurality of wives. Attila con
ceived a passion for the daughter of Er-
nck, Kmg of Burgundy. The marriage
with her proved fatal to the conqueror.
in whose royal train marched a crowd of
kings and princes, and who, on the banks
of the Mincio, had settled the fate of
Rome herself, with Pope Leo and the
Consular Avinus. Hilgunde repaired to
tne court of Attila, to become his bride,
She was received with all the circum
stances and surroundings of magnificence
that could be afforded by the Occident
and the Orient. Hardly had the nuptial
feasts begun, when Attila, fresh from
conquest, and with the laurels of victo
ries gained over the Romans, on his
brow, fell by the hand of this treacherous
Hilgunde, who plunged a dagger into his
breast. "As with the IIuus, not ordi
nary tears, but tears of blood," were re
garded as an homage most worthy of
ucu a cmet. i hey enclosed his remains
in a magnificent coffin ; and, that they
might be forever "exempt from insult, im
molated the workmen who had dug his
grave.
" His body," says Gibbon, was sol
emnly exposed in the midst of the plain,
under a silken pavilion, and the chosen
squadrons of the Huns, wheeling round
in measured evolutions, chanted a funeral
i song to the memory of a r,rrt i:.

ther of his people, the scourge of his ene
mies, and the terror of the world. The
spoils of nations were thrown into his
grave, the captives who had opened the
ground were inhumanly massacred, and
the same Huds who had indulged such
excessive grief, feasted with dissolute and
intemperate mirth about the recent sepul
chre of their king."
TIME OF FALLING SNOW.
BY GEORGE LirrARD.
The tears come into my eyes when
the snow falls, for it was the time of fall
ing snow she died. A dreary morning,
cold and desolate, with sleet patting on
the window pane, and snow upon the
ground. The tower of the church, which
you could see from the window of the
death chamber, rose drearily and alone
into a leaden sky. And I can see her
now, by the light which came but dimly
through the half-drawn curtains. That
face stricken by death those eyes, yearn
ingly to Heaven, and filled with light
that shone upon them from the better
world; those cold thin hands, clasped
over the shrunken breast I can see her
now, even as she looked in the moment
before she died. 0, if you had all the
power of expression that language in its
sublime flights affords, you could not
paint the agony and rapture of that dying
face. She knew us all, knew that she
was the last of many we had given to the
grave she called us by name, and told
us how hard it was to part with us, and
in the same breath, (a quick gasping
breath, for she was struggling between
time and eternity,) she told us how good
it was to go home. We watched her as
she died. One moment her eyes were
ght the next they were filmy and
cold.
And I can remember now how I w ent
from that death room, leaving her upon
her death bed, even as the life had just
passed her lips. How I hurried out into
the cold ar.d felt it good to feel the sleet
upon my face, and drink of the winter
air with delight. How I went to work,
and amid the care and clamor of work
drown the thoughts of her who all the
while lay cold and beautiful in my home,
attired for coffiin and graveyard, her thin
white hands folded on her shroud. And
I can remember how I came home at
night and went into my room and wrote
still cherishing a latent thought that
she was not dead, but only waiting for me
to come and read to her what I had writ
ten. And when I had written I re
member it yet I arose up and took the
manuscript in my hand, and placed that
upon the door which led into the next
room her room I had forgotten she
was dead ! It had been my custom to
read to her what I hail wTitten and I had
unconsciously fallen into the old habit.
My hand was upon the door then, and
not till then, did the truth rush crime,
that she was not sitting in her chair
her beef m6' but ttat she was lai1 upon
j t. ' 'rT ea,l hands upon her
dead bosom. That stu, .
thought I say rushed upon me It cru!
me back against the wall like a blow from
a strong arm, and for a long time held me
there choked and gasping, without the
power to say a word. And I can remem
ber how we took her forth, on that last
day ot the year, when the sun was out
and the snow glistened in his beams, an.1
a blue sky was over the wintry earth
how we took her forth and laid her in the
grave, amid the graves of her people, and
heard the rattling of the frozen clods upon
1 - rr ... A
iier comn na.
And also do I remember how for days
and weeks and months after she was gone,
(I cannot say dead) I would come home
at evening, and expect, as I opened the
door, to find her there as of old. And
how, when I Law her place vacant, the
truth would rush upon me and crush me
afresh just as though she had only died
a moment before.
This is why the tears come into my
eyes wnen tne snow falls.
And when I sit in my room and look
out upon the leaden sky and new fallen
snow, I see her dying face again. And
turning from the scene without, I look
within. I see the book in which she
wrote her name tho day before ahc died
I see the door which opens into the next
room, and through its panels I can see
her sitting there waiting for me to come
ana read to her.
But for all this I feel I know that
sue is not dead.
For lean see her, young and beauti
iui, Miung oy calm waters in the other
land, and in her hands she holds a child
whose soul has just escaped from clav to
tjrOd.
And I know that they are together
the sister who died in winter and the child
who did b autumn. And I know that I
snail meet them yonder.

Agricultural HcaMng.
GEOWTNG EUTA-BAGAS.
Turnips, both of the Swedish and com
mon varieties, are cultivated to a much
greater extent in England than in this
country. A few years ago we met with
a statement to the effect that the annual
value of the turnip crop in England, with
a population about the same as that of
the United States, was somewhere in the
vicinity of 20 millions of pounds sterling,
or nearly equal to $100,000,000. About
the same time the turnip crop of the
United States was so inconsiderable that
it was not included or reported in the
Census Returns of 1850 at all. Accor
ding to the above estimate, and the Cen
sus Returns of the Agricultural Products
of the United States, the turnip crop of
England not only exceeds that of the lat
ter country immeasurably, but is fully
equal to the largest crops we raise. Ac
cording to the census of 1850, the wheat
crop of the U. S. was a little over 100,
000,000 bushels, which at $1 per bushel
would make the value of it just equal to
the estimated value of the turnip crop of
England. In 1850 the hay crop of the
U. S. was 13,838,642 tons ; and this at
eight dollars per ton would again be about
of the same value as the turnip crop of
England. From these data it is very
obvious that this crop is much more high
ly valued in England than in this coun
try, and much more extensively cultiva
ted. We were led to make the examination
of the Census Returns, &c., the results
of which have been just stated, in conse
quence of a visit lately made to an En
glish farmer, who is somewhat celebrated
for raising ruta-baga and other root crops.
He has raised crops of ruta-bagas aver
aging over COO bushels per acre, for sev
eral years, and notwithstanding that he
makes as widely known as possible what
he esteems as the advantages and recom
mendations of this crop, still very few of
his neighbors have ever been induced to
try to raise it. This seems truly surpri
sing considering that the recommenda
tions which he gives of this crop do not
fall much if any below a dozen in num
ber. Of these we remember the follow
ing as the most important.
1. Ruta-bagas are a very profitable or
remunerative crop, as an acre will gener
ally produce from 500 to 800 bushels,
with an expenditure upon it, for seed, la-
uor, occ, oi irom 5zu to 5ci. uur in
formant stated that no crop he had evjr
raised had cost him as much as five cents
a bushel, and that for feeding all kinds of
stock be estimated them, by a comparison
with the value of hay, &c, at average
prices, to be worth as much as twenty
five cents per bushel. After deducting
expenses of cultivation, there would be,
according to this estimate, a net profit of
orff one hundred doTlai'SperTKrw. Our
informant assured us that repeated trials
of this root as to its feeding qualities had
made Mm confident, or as he phrased it, I
" perfectly certain and no mistake," that
''pre is no crop that he raises, or that is
usually in the xortuernj Middle
and Western States, vhiol, is as profita
ble, per acre, as this crop.
2. Ruta-bagas make a good and pala
table food for oxen, sheep and hogs.
Horses, also, often eat them.
3. Sheep are particularly fond of them,
and thrive on them.
4. They are especially good for ewes
having lambs.
5. They can be kept easily until there
is a good supply of grass in the spring.
They do not become pithy or deteriora
ted in their feeding qualities, as wl:ite
turnips do.
6. They can be planted as a second
crop, as the last week in Jnne or first in
July is about the right time of sowing,
in the latitude of 42, and two or three
degrees on each side of that.
7. They do not "run the land," as they
derive much of their nourishment from
the atmosphere.
8. They can stand up in the gronnd
till all other fall work is disposed of and
out of the way.
These and some minor advantages of
this crop, having been set forth with some
earncatneaa and enthusiasm, have deep
ened our conviction of the importance of
it. To aid in fixing in other minds a
similar conviction we have been induced
to make a record of the principal recom
mendations which may be urged in favor
of increased attention to this crop so
generally and so unwisely neglected.
Additional reasons for more attention to
this crop may be found in the Country
Gentleman and Cultivator for 1853 and
1854. Country Gentleman.
