Thy bright and irusling smile
Jn the morning of our youth and lovc,

"Whcn ihinearms were twined about my neck,
And mine cyeslookctl into thinc,
And the hcan that throbbed forme alone,

And many an eye of light and love

But the smile is not for my poor heart,
And tbe eye is strangc iu
And loneliness comes o'er my soul
"When its mcmory turns to thce!
l'm thinking on the night, Mary,
The night of grief and shame,
"rV'hen with drunken ravings on my lips,
To thec I homcward came:
D, the tear was in thine carncst cye,
And thy bosom wildly heaved,
Vet a smile of love was on thy cheet,
Though the heart was sorely gricvedl
Bnt the smile soon lcfl thy lips, Mary,
And thine cye grew dim and sad ;
For the tempterlurcd my flcps from thee,
And the wine-cup druve me mad:
From thy chcck tho roscs quickly fled,
Andthyringin?laugh wasgone,
Yet thy heart still fondly clung to me,
And still kept trustingon.
O, my words wcrc harsh to thce, Mary,
For the wine-cup madc me wild;
And I chM thec whcn thine cycs were sad,
And I cursedlhee when they smiled.
God knows I lovcd thec cven thcn,
But the firo was in my brain,
And theciirseofdrinkwas in my heart,
To maks my love a banc.

In the ipring-tiine of our lifr,

The Alpaca is a wool hearing animal. and
large flocks of it were lormcrly owned by the
lucas. sovereigus of that country, and other

It is said to be remarkahle for its hardy
tonstitution and its gentle, doujo disposition,

It is represented as being lcss aflectcd by a

being most rcadily to ndapt itself to altnost
any clime and food. It is easily domcsticated
in any home where it mccts with kindncss. The

Helen and the Young Doctor.
The totvn of A-

no lovelier onc than Helen Eihvards deep,
dark cyes, in whicli you could laney impene
trable depths of fceling, hair black and glos
sy, anJ featurcs moft classically regular.
The artillery of Cupid, which ivc hcar so
much about, seems to havc becn invented
bcforc the discovcryonrre-arms, and the ar
rows Iiedischarged atthe heart ol Helen had
little effect In trutli, ali the young gentlc
men o! the tovvn considercd hcr dccidedly
crucl. She liad lols of verses in herportfo-
lio. asscrting that fact.
Helen visitcd the lown of S , and
there met tlie Young Doctor.' Wc cannot
stop to cxpatiate upon his merits. He was
ivliat every young' lady considers 'alov&.'
Tv'oone evcr questioned the characterof his
coats,('CarpcnterV nodoubt.) and his whis
kers were'faullless. His first visit to Helen
' was in the way of profeesion for, like most
young ladiee, she occasionally had 'such
he.id-achcs,' and was sometimes'Eo nervous,'
, but his professioa Eoon lost thcir profes
sional character. Helen feltlouched physi-
cians havc such winning ways and for
once the course oftrue love did run smooth.
I Helen was an 'cngagcd lady.' By somc
, singular acciddcnt the wh.old town knew it
1 the ncst day ; and it wau delightful to see
thc rcspect with which she was trcatcd by
1 uncngucd Iriends. Even the young mar
' ried ladies cxhibitcd towards her an unusual
' degree. ofdcferrence, as bcing not farfrom
. thcholystatc of matrimony.
j Butiill this is toplacid to be inlcresting.
As, in thc liistory of nations, pcacelul occur

But on one particular cvening hc secmcd

potvcrs of convcrsntion. The Doctor would
not be amused. She opcned thc piano,nsa j

had listened with so much rapturc but with-

States Court in this city. The casc grew
out of thc Millcr delusion and its history in
thc niain as follows : A centlcman iu one of
thc intcrior towns iu ihis Statc. a innnufiictur
cr, engaged ina large and prufitablc business,
became impresscd with the conviclion that
the vvorld was about to comc to an cnd, ac

time hc couductcd his busiucss ashcfure, but
soon bcgan to sco the folly and wickcdness of

aflnirs.when the cnd of all things was so near
at hand. He wished to divest himsclf of his
property, rctaining only enough for his sup
por till "the coining ofthe great diy. His
family and friends prevented him from throw
iugaway his estate. and at last out of tlcfcr
ence, as he said, to theirfeeliiigSjhc disposed
of it, much as he would in casc of his dcath.
To his oldest son he convcj ed all his properly,
bindinf him to pav to his other childrcn their
proportionate shares, and takinc for himsclf
oue thonsand dollars to defray his cxpeuses
for thc short time the world had then to en

which are situatcd ou tlie west of thc priuci-

Lake Champlain, and coiiiiirisin?, pcihaps,
ihe most fcrtile portion of Vermont. Under
thcir approprialo head?, wc proposc to spcak
bricfiy ofthe dillcrcnt subjects to vt liicli our
attcntion w.is attiactcd.
Soil. A consideniblc polion ofihcsoil of
this district is calcarcous clay, oftcn strong
ly tcuacious, bascd on what geologists term
transition or silurian liinestunc. This is
more parlicularlv thc character ofthe valleys
aud lowcrparts ofthe district. The soil of
the hills and highcr parts, lying above th
limcstune, has iu its coinposition a larger
proporlion ofsaud, and of cousc pnrtakcs also
of thc nature ofthe slaty rocks uf nhich the
hills are formcd. In most cascs gypsum op
pcratcs well on these soils. Wo learned a
rcinatkablc insMuce of its efiects from Mr.
Rudman Chapman, of Vergennes. He had
some casks oi" phistcr which had been wel
in a frcshet, hauled out on some barrcu clay
knolls, aud sprcad over ihe ground. The
effect was to clolhe thc ground with thc
most luxuriant srowth of u hitc dover, bluc-
grass, and yclow trefoil a plant or two of
thc lattcr haviug comc up accidcnlly, from
from which it wns sprcail ovcr thc uearly
thc wholc ficld. Thc swnrd on thc lot,
(which wc cxamincd,) still finc, and product

Cultivation. As beforc remarkcd, the
plow is not cxtcnsively uscd iu this section of
thc country the objcct ot larmcrs tieing gcn
erally to raisc ouly about thequantity ofgraiu
aud vcgctablcs rcquired for home consump
tion. It is.however.stated by those best qual
ified to kuow, that Addison county produced
lastycar a considci ablcsurplus of bread-stuffs,
beyo.nd supplying the inhabitants. Wheat
has been lcss cultivated since 1530, than for
inerly, owing to thc attack of the wheat
inidge, (Cecidomyia tritici.) For the last
two orthree years, this insect has been di
minishing, and a knowledgc of this fact en
couraged the farmers to sow this grain more
cxtensirely last scason than ihey had douc
several years beforc. Spring wheat is the
kind gcnerally sown winter wheat being lcss
certaiu to yield well. But since it has becn
ascertaincd that the injurious inscct before
mentioned is diminishiug, some farmers have
concluded to try winter whea', and we were
shown several small lots vihich were very
nromisinz. The Black-sea spring wlieal

Indian Corn is cultivated with succcss on

ett has a variety.whicb, for a northern latitude,
we ibink highly superior. It is a twelvc
rowed coru, but has been grcatly improved
by sclcction. The cob is small, and com
pletely coycrcd with corn, packed iu the
closest possible manner. Oats are a sure
crop. and produce from forty to seventy-five
bushels to thc acre.
Potaloei flourish remarkably well, and arc
ofsuperior quality. The yield is iwo hun
dred to five hundred bushels per acre.
Tbey are in some iusunccs used for the pur
pose offattening stock, and forfeedingsheep
and store cattle through the winter. Those
who have tried potatocs for this purpose
tpeak very highly of them. Oth'cr vegetables
are in some instances cultivated for feeding
stock. Mr.W. Chapman, of Middlebury, is
much in favor ol the stigar-beet. He has-
tried it for store stock, aud to some cxtent for
lattening cattle. Iu February, 1842, he kilt-
ed a heiter. tattetl nliollv on beets and liav.

amljucy tlian wbeu fattcd with meal.
Wc understood that it is n vcry unifwrm
practicc in this district to mautire theground
iutended for corn and potntocs very hcavily.
Wlieie frum thc nature of the soil or tbe
dcaroessoflalior. (as is the case licrc.) it is
expcdient to cultivatc much land. we belierc
this to be tlie truc coursc. It takes but
little more Iahor to cultivatc nn acre which
is madc so rich that it will jield sixty or sev

it were uot lor the fact that the qnantily of

sliould say it was plowed "in too deep. We
