The Lehigh, Mammoth Vein, Locust Moun-

enduring and very pure. For ordinary do-

ashes and slate than most any kind of Coal

As to the Trcvcrton. we can say to any

0, Love 1 Love ! what time: were those,
Long ere the age of belles and beaux,
and Brussels lace and silken hose,
When, in the green Arcadian close,
You married Psyche under the rose,
With only the grass for bedding !-
Hesrt to heart, and hand in hand,
You followed Nature’s swe.t command—
Roaming lovingly through the land,
Nor sighed for a Diamond Wedding.
6‘
So have we read in classic Ovid,
How hero watched for her beloved,
Impassioned youth Leander.
She was the fairest of the fair,
And wrapt him round with her golden hair,
Whenever he landed cold and here,
With nothing to eat, and nothing to wear,
And wetter than any gander ;
For Love was Love, and better than money—
The slyer the theft, the better the honey—
And kissing was clover, all the world over,
Wherever Cupid might wander.
So thousands of years have come and gone,
And still the moon is shining on,
Still Hymen’s torch is lighted ;
And hitherto, in this land of the West,
Most couples in love have thought it best
To follow the ancient way of the rest,
And quietly get united.
But now, True Love, you’re growing old—
Bought and sold, with silver and gold,
Like a house or a horse and carriage l
Midnight talks,
Moonlight walks,
The glance of the eye and sweetheart sigh,
I do not wish to disparage ;
But every kiss
Has a price for its bliss,
In the modern code o'marriage ;
And the compact sweet
Is not complete,
Till the high contracting parties meet
Before the altar of Mammon ;
And’ the bride must be led to a silver bower,
Where pearls and rubies fall in a shower
That would frighten Jupiter Amman.
I need not tell
How it befall,
(Since Jenkins has told the story
Over and over and over again, ‘ _
In a style thatI can not hope to attain,
And covered himself with glory !)
How it befel, one summer's day,
The King of the Cubans strolled this way—
King January’s his name they say—
And fell in love with the Princess May,
The reigning belle of Manhattan ;
Nor how began to smirk and sue,
And dress as lovers who come to woo,
Or as Mas: Moretzek and J ulien do,
When they sit full-bloomed in the ladies’ view,
And flourish the wondrous baton.
He wasn’t one of our Polish nobles,
Whose presence their country somehow troubles,
And so our cities receive them ;
Nor one of your make believe Spanish grandson,
Who ply our daughters with lies and candles,
Until the poor girls believe them.
No, he was no such Charlatan—
Full of gasconsde and bravado,
Count de Hoboken Flash-in-tho-pan—
But a regular rich Don Esteban
Santa Cruz de la muscovsdo
Senor Grandisslmo Oviedo 1
He owned the rental of half Havana
And all Matanzas ; and Santa Anna,
Rich as he was, could hardly hold
A candle to light the mines of gold
Our Cuban possessed, choke. full of diggers ;
And broad plantations that in round figures
Were stocked with at least five thousand nigger- l
‘* Gather ye rosebuds while ye may 1”
The Senor swore to carry the day-—
To capture the beautiful Princess May,
With his battery oftrensure ;
Velvet and lace she should not lack,
Tiffany, Haughwout. Ball 8: Black,
Gcnin and Stewart his suit should back,
And come and go at her pleasure ,-
Jet and lava—silver and gold—
Camels—emeralds rare to behold—
Diamonds—npphires—wealth untold—
All were hers. to have and to hold ,-
Enough to fill a peck measure 1
He didn’t bring all his forces on
At once,bat like a crafty old Don,
Who many a heart had fought and won,
Kept bidding a little higher ;
And every time be made his bid—
"I‘was written down
For the good of the town,
By Jeems of Daily Flyer.
A coach and horses you’d think would buy,
For the Don, an easy victory ;
But slowly our Princess yielded ; Q
A diamond necklace caught her eye,
But a wieath of pearls first made her sigh.
She knew the worth of each maiden glance, .
' And like young colts that curvot and prance,
She led the Don a deuce of a dance,
In spite of the weslth he wielded.
She stood such a fire of silks and laces,
Jewels and golden dressing-cases,
And ruby brooches, and jets and pearls,
That every one of her dainty curls
Brought the price of a hundred common girls ;
was thought the less demented 1
But at last a wonderful diamond ring,
A regular Koh-i-noor did the thing,
And sighing‘ with love, or something the some,
(What’s in a name i)
The Princess lay consented.
Ring 1 ring the bells, and bring.
All the people to see the thing i
Let the gaunt and hungry and tagged poor
Throng around the great Cathedral door,
To wonder what all this huhbub’l for,
And sometimes stupidly wonder
At so much sunshine and brightness which
Falls from the church upon the rich,
While the poor get all the thunder.
Ring 1 ring, merry bells, ring !

With letters blue-—
Good for a seat and a nearer view I
Fortunate few, whom I dare not name ;

We commoners stood by the street facade
And chug glimpse of the cavalcade ;
w the bride
In basil-mood pride,
With six jeweled maidens to guard her side-
_Six lustrous maidens in terltan :
She led the van of the caravan :
Close behind her, her mother,
(Brest in gorgeous moire antique,
That told as plainly as words could speak,
She was more antique than the other)
Leaned on the arm of Don Esteban
Santa Cruz de la luscovado
Senor Grandissimo Oviedo ;
Happy mortal l fortunate man i
And Marquis of Eldorado I
In they swept, all riches and grace,
Silks and action and Honiton lace ;
In they swept from the dazzled sun,
And soon in the church the deed was done.
Three prelates Mod on the chancel high—
A knot, that gold and silver can buy,
Gold and silver may yet untie,
Unless it is tightly fastened ;
80 two Very Reverends graced the scene,
And the tall Archbishop stood between,
By prayer and fasting ehastoned :
The Pope himself would have come from Rome,
But urgent matters kept him at home.
Haply those robed prelatu thought
Their words were the power that tied the knot ;
But another power that love-knot tied, , .
And I saw the chain round the neck of the hith-
A glistening, priceless, mansions chain,
Coiled with diamonds again and again,
As belts a diamond wedding ;
And shadowy haunts with no one by, I
Yet still ’twas a chain—I thought she knew it
And half-way longed for the will to undo it—
By the secret tears she was shedding.
But isn’t it odd, to think, whenever
We all go through that terrible River,
Whose sluggish tide alone can never
(The Archbishop says) the Church decree,
By floating one into Eternity
And leaving the other alive as ever—
As each wades through that gently stream,
The satins that mile and gems that gleam,
To the noisome ei’s bottom-clay ;
Then the costly bride, and her maidens six,
[ill shiver upon the banks of the Styx.
Quite as helpless as they were born—
Naked souls, and very forlorn ;
And the beautiful Empress over yonder,
Whose crinollne made the wide world wonder—
And even ourselves and our dear little wives,
Who calico weer each morn of their lives—-
And the sewing girls—and lea chifl'om‘ers
In rags and hunger the livelong day—
And all the grooms of the caravan—
Aye, even the great Don Esteban
Santa Cruz de le Muscovado
Senor Grandlssimc Oviedo—
That gold encrusted, fortunate man i—
All will land in naked equality :
The lord ofa ribboned principality
Will mourn the loss of cordon :
The Princess, too, must shift for herself,
And lay her royalty on the shelf ; 9
Nothing to eat, and nothing to wear,
'Will certainly be the fashion there 1
'Ten to one and I’ll go it alone,
These most used to a rag and bone—
Though here on earth they labor and groan—
Will stand it best whhn we come to rest
On the other side of Jordan.

E.We find the following statement
about the old settlers of Dsnbury in the

Norwalk, we transfer it as a matter of
local interest to our own columns :
. OLD SBTTLBRS.
A Correspondent, who has been. look-
ing after those very respectable gentlemen
the first settlers of Danbnry, communi‘
cates some interesting particulars about
their successful love afi'airs, and who they
married. Those of their descendants
who yet remain here, and have done their
part towards building up and improving
the towa they founded, are of course, as
in duty bound, mach obliged to them,
those old settlers, for having arrived at
the conclusion that it was not good for
man to live alone, and making such sen-
sible Selections in those who should aid
them in settling and populating the town.
We would not for the world particularize
and are far from being sure where the
point would hit, but it' tradition and his-
tory agreeing are to be relied upon, some
among the generations of the desendants
of those “ originals.” bad a full allowance
of mirthfulaess in their composition, and
an average capacity for exhibiting it.—-.
We have in days gone by listened, with
repeated spasmodic emotions, to the nor-
rations by our “oldest inhabitants” of
incidents that happened to their fathers,
in comparison, with which later scenes
of the same caste appear common place.
On the whole, our home readers “may be
reasonably proud of their ancestry and
enter upon the work of tracing their line-
age back to the “ settlers? whose names
are annexed, without any serious mis-
givings :

FIRST SETTLERS or DANBUBY, AND THE

Samuel Benedict, James Benedict and

MESSRS. EDITORS :—To enable your
home readers to trace back their lineage
to the settlers mentioned in your last is-
sue, I hereby annex in a concise form
some further information of one of the
first settlers (Thomas Taylor) obtained
some time since of Mr. Levi Taylor, of
the Wolf-pitt district in Bethel, now de-
ceased :
The father of Thomas Taylor (John)
was one of the first settlers of New Ha-
ven, by trade a. pewter-smith. He sailed
in 1647, when Thomas was four years
old, for England on some business con-
cerning the trade of the colony. The
ship fonndered at sea and all on board
perished. [See Conn. Historical Collec-
tions, page 162.] '
The brother of Thomas (John 2d).
moved from N ew Haven to 'Dccrfield,
Mass, was Captain of militia and killed
in a skirmish With the Indians in King
Phillip’sf war, he left two sons ; one set-
tled in Philadelphia, the other in Sangu-
tnck and had four children. The moth-
er of Thomas after the death of his father
moved to Norwalk’and married a Hoyt.
Thomas was 41 years old when he
come to Danbnry. He was esteemed a
very worthy man, and - represented the
town a number of-years in the General
Court or Assembly. He'died at the ripe
age of 92, leaving 10 children, 7 sons and
3 daughters.
The oldest son (Thomas 2d) married a
Miss Benedict, and lived on the right
hand corner as you turn to go over Conl-
pitt bill. He - had two sons Thomas 3rd
and David ; Thomas 3d had t..o sons,
Thomas 4th and Samuel ; his brother
David had 4 sons, David 2d, Gilead Eli-
as and Derrick. Thomas 4th had a son
but whether named Thomas, being Thom-
as 5th, I am unable to say.
The second son of the first set tler,Jobn
married Miss Bette and moved to Wilt-
on, had a son and daughter. The son had
no children ; the «laughter married a Mr.
Bette and lived to be 100 years old.
The third son, Daniel or Samuel, mar-
ried Miss Benedict, located at the south
end of Main street and had two daugh-
ters. He married fora second wifc,Miss
Starr by whom he had two sons,Nathan-
iel and Daniel 26. Nathaniel, D. D.
moved to New Milford. His children
were Urania wife of Daniel Everett,
Esq, Gen. Augustus, and Major W11-
liam. Daniel had but one son, Major,
and Major had a s on Daniel.
Another son, Ti mothy located in Beth-
el and married Miss Davis, had one son
ry, who first settled in Norwalk 1655,-
Judas and a number of daughters. Ju-
das had six sons, Elijah, Timothy, Jon-
athan, Joseph, Judas 2d and Ebenezer.
Another son, Nathan, removed to
Bethcl, married Hannah Benedict and
had nine children, Nathan 2d, Matthew,
James, Daniel, Mercy, Mineville, Debo-
rah, Rhoda and Hannah. Nathan 2nd
married Molly Weed and had 8 children
Nathan 3d, Silas, Noah, Eliud, Phineas,
Molly, Mercy, and Deborah. Matthew
married Esther Waller and had ten chil-
dren, Matthew 2d, Abigal, Preserved,~
Daniel, Joshua. Noah, Hannah, Levi the
narrator of this genealogy, and Eliznr.——
James married Elizabeth Benedict and
had five children, James 2d, Eliakim,Rc-
becca, Miucville and Elizabeth. - Daniel
died young. Mercy married Noah Rock-
well and bad one son, Eliud. Mineville
married Daniel Sherman and had five
children, Daniel, Taylor, Eunice, Hannah
and Sarah. Deborah married Phineas
Judd and had 4 children. Daniel, Molly,
David and Eliud. Rodah married Phin-
eas Waller and had 10 children. Han-
nah married Joseph Knapp, and had no
children. Thus you perceive that Nu.-
than was the umst favored of all the sons
and daughters of the first settler, having
been blessed with 40 grand-children.
Another son of the first settler, The.
ophilns, moved to Bethel and married
Miss Bushnell, by whom he had 2 chil-
dren, Theophilus 2d and Lydia. His
2d wife was Sarah Gregory, by whom‘ he
had 3 children, Sarah, Benjamin and
Rebecca.
The oldest daughter of the first settler,
Deborah, married Daniel Betts and set-
tled in Norwalk, bad 2 daughters, one of
whom married Mr. Greenwood and bad
17 children ; the other had no children.
Another daughter of the first settler,
Rebecca, married Daniel Benedict and
bad 6 children, Daniel 2d, Theopilous,
David, Matlhew, Aaron and Noah.
The youngest daughter of the first set-
tler, Eunice, married Benjamin Starr and
had three children, Benjamin, David and
Eunice.
The followmg is from Robbins Centu‘
ry sermon : The family of Mr. Thomas
Taylor, one of the first settlers, as a fam-
ily was remarkable for longevity. He
had 10 children. The whole amount of
his age and theirs is 947 years, the aver-
age of which is 86 years, but three of
them saw less than 90 years.

Connecticut Agriculture.
'I'IIE FAR“ 0F STEPHEN HOYT d 8035 NEW CANAAN.
A particular description of this farm is
given in the transactions of the State
Agricultural Society for 1857. The re-
port of the farm committee upon its con-
dition at that time was very full and cor-
rect. The some practice which then
prevailed of using two hundred thousand
fish for manure, and one thousand loads
of muck annually is still continued. The
soil is a light gruvelly loam, and culture
speedily dissipates the organic matter
contained in it, unless it is maintained by
the use Of muck or other vegetable ma-
nure. As upon this farm of two hun-
dred and thirty acres, thirty five are in
nursery trees, and about sixty-live under
culture for grain and root crops, some fer-
tilizer must be sought for beyond the nat-
ural produce of the farm. White fish
composted with muck are found the most
available resource. All the grain is con.
sumed on the form, while the nursery and
the root crops are the dependence for in- ,
come.
Sixteen men have been employed the '
past summer, and the cleanly culture of 3
all the crops as well as the nursery, and :
the large heap of compost ready for use, é
would indicate that this labor had been
faithfully rendered and judiciously cx-'
pended. Everything appdu‘ed to have
been done in the right season, and well
done. TheJoot crops embracing about
seven acres of onions, carrots and rate.
bagas, were still in the field, and were
particularly noteworthy for their even- 3
ness, size and healthy appearance. The
onions now ripe are estimated at seven
hundred bushels per acre, while the car-
rots and ruin. bagas, if October proves
favorable, must exceed one thousand
bushels per acre.
The trees from the nursery are mostly
sold at two or three years from the b Id, ‘
thus insuring quick returns, and by the
destroying of the refuse, preventing the
propogation of diseases or insects from
one generation to another, and sccur.’ ng
against the accumulation of unsalcable
stock to exhaust the land. If they had
more room, we should prefer to have them
stand another year before planting out,
but it is better decidedly to plant small,
thrifty and symmetrical trees, than Older
ones which from crowding in the nursery
rows, have lost their babinco and run up
tall, with too few roots to hold them up-
right when planted in the orchard.—
About iWclvc hundred apple trees have
been planted out in orchards, and for ,
bealthiness, symmetry and thrift, we have ,
never seen them surpassed.
, We commend the farm of the Messrs.
Ionls, asa specimen of thorough, sub-
stantial, wide-awake farming, and Wore
such more common, the cries of ‘naturafly
sterile,’ and of ‘ worn out land,’ would be
heard less often within the borders of
the good old State of Connecticut.
In addition tothe labors of the farm,
Mr. Edwin Hoyt has taken up house-
building, and with the aid of common
farm hands, has erected a beautiful and
substantial house of that cheap material,
cobble stones. It is about forty feet
square, the walls one foot thick and cov-
ered with stucco. A hundred loads each
of gravel & cobble stones,and 35 barrels of
lime were used in the walls. The cost
has been less than to have used brick «le-
livercd free on the ground. N o pans
have been spared to prevent the ingr ass
of water in any part, and should them or-
tar prove as durable as now indicated, a
new era in housebuilding must be con: id-
ercd as established. Every man u ay

is given, and a most beautiful and perfect
exterior is obtained, while the non-con-

SIR : The accompanying interesting
letter from the patriot Magyar has been
elicited through an expression of , sympa-
thy from the lamented Professor Nichol
and other tried friends of Continbiltal
freedom in Glasgow, who approved? the
late attempt to free his native land, ,pnd,
while sorrowing with him in his disap-
pointment, had assured him, through Inc,
of their abiding faith in his conduct and
patriotism, and ot a hearty welcome phat-l.
to this country from the people of ' Scot
land. The deep and continued interes-
takeu in him by my fellow-citizens will, '1
trust, justify me in giving as much of h
letter as may be proper and safe in th.
present circumstances. The facts men
tioned by him regarding his care for'tnv
safety of the Hungarian soldiers who had
joined him at Acqui, I was apprised of
by other means within a Week of "its ta-
king place, but did not feel justified in
publishing my letters of that date, witha
due regard to the safety of brave men in-

will suggest to my countrymen how they
should act in the circumstances, I am, re-

MY DEAR SIR : 'l‘he fa al day of'Villa-

House of Austria as soon as the war

. And the pOsitive knowledge of this fact
only adds to the bitter pangs of , my' dis-
appointment. To be thus stopped at the
moment when we were stretching out our
hand to pluck the ripe fruit of liberty is
distressing beyond description.
Well it is as it is, and must be borne.
It shall be borne undespondingly, though
not without grief. I feel tranquil in my
conscience that I have done theduty of
an honest man, and. of a good citizen, by
not neglecting to try whether or not
events might be turned, on a solid basis,
to the profit of my native land.

that no diplomatic tricks—in fact, noth-
ing that the lying craft of despots may
i devise—will ever for a moment divert my
nation from its unaltcrable determination
to take advantage of every reasimable
opportunity for reassuming its independ-
ence. '
I have learned that this resolution can
as little be broken by terrorism as it can
be shaken by any concessions which the
Hapsburgs may devise in the hour of
their need. I have learned that Hunga-
ry knows how to endure, how to wait but
never will change. I know that the nu-
tion is as well disciplined as it is deter-.
mined. ‘
I have been confirmed, together with
my nation, in the conviction that no great
European question can ever receive Its
definitive solution without us; nor can
Europe he brought to a settled condition
without the rights and legitimate claims of
Hungary being tak en into one account.
From this conviction we derive the cer-
tainty of our future We believe in our
future freedom,thercfore we shall be free.
The corresponding resolution has, with
the whole _ nation, become a religious
creed.

faction tO know that by not allowing my-
self to be influenced by promises, that by
insisting on the guarantee of irretracni-
blc facts preliminary to my giving the
signal for rising, I have preserved ‘my
country from great misfortunes for- arms
which were not our own, and have pre-
served its future uncompromised—Intact.
This, at lens; is a bright speck on the
dreary horizon of my deep grief.
I was particularly careful to warn my
fellow-countrymen in cxnlc not to be led
away by impatience, to throw up their
positioas which they may have gained by
industry, before events take a mm which
will warrant my calling them. I even
wa "Red, in public papers, my countrymen
in America to wait, and not to stir.—
‘l‘haaks to this precaution, no harm ac-
crued to any one on my account. But
the p"isoners of war from the Hungarian
rejgimant-s flocked spontaneously to our
banner. '
We had already five battalions (up-
ward 01' 4,000 menu) organich—ulns l In
three weeks more we should have had
25,000 Of them. When the war was
brOng-ht 10 an untimely end I considered
it a duty to guarantee the condition of
the gallant band. I wished them to re-
turn home, rather than be scattered over
the face of the earth, provided 1 could
secure to them a safe return.
I tilel'i‘fOl'e insisted on a double stipula-
tion for teem—that of amnesty, and that
of exemption (conga dejioitif) from fur-
ther Austrian military service. I suc-
ceded in bath regards. France insisted
eremptorily, and Austria felt obliged to
“yield—both points are guaranteed as far
as stipulations can guarantee ; remains to
be seen how Austria (false Austria) will
execute them. .
On this point I want to be kept in
