Having passed safely through the anniver- saries, and got over moving, and nearly through house-cleaning, and shown her new bonnet, and stella shawl, and her light silk dress, New York may be said to have fully entered upon the spring season, and a glo- rious season it is. The weather is just warm- ing up tothe summer mark; the air is pure and invigorating, and all that lives feels the throb of renewed youth. But vegetation is remarkably slow; scarcely half the trees are in leaf; the peach and apple blossoms are just out; while for flowers, we have little or nothing to speak of. Nevertheless, the late spring will have praise in the fulness of au- tumn, for no untimely frost bas nipped the tender plant or blighted the hope of the farmer. Although we may say the snow is but just off the ground, we already begin to ** go out of town ;’’ and the groves of Staten Island, the shady walks of Hoboken, and even the sandy reaches of the sen shore, begin to swarm, especially on Sundays, with the rest- less hordes of weary citizens, who seek mo- mentary relaxation from the drudgery of the office and the workshop During the winter ample arrangements have been made to en- tertain these temporary visitors, and numer- ous gardens, oars retreats, and parks, never before dreamed of, have sprung into existence It is worthy of remark, that the character, both of the visitors and the hosts, at these suburban hostieries has, within a few years, undergone matcrial and radical change. Ten years ago, the old-fashioned country tavern, with its plain grub and rye whisky, was about good enough for summer visitors ; but now fine architecture, delightful parks, music part of Lots No. 8and 10, in Davidson’s 15 feet 6 inches on Lith street west between and N streets north, running back 92 feet to a pubiic al- ley, with the improvements, consisting of a sub stantial, well-finished three-story and basement brick Bwelling-House, containing eight rooms, a'lconveniently arranged, with closets, &c.

Brouglit up to consider Sunday a day of recreation they mean no harm, and see no sin in swarm- ing into the country to climb trees, roll on the fresh grass, sing with the joyful birds, and drink lager beer. They are generally peace- able though noisy, seldom get drunk, and re- turn refreshed rather than debauched by their peculiar mode of spending the Sabbath. In the matter of drinking it is worthy of es- pecial remark, that the introduction of the great Teutonic beverage of lager beer has done, strange as it may appear, a surprising work for temperance Lager beer is all the rage; intownand outof town, in the low drinking den, and the aristocratic palace he- tel, in bar rooms, eating houses, summer re- sorts, everywhere lager beer is the great-in- guined fir, tis always-drunk, the ever-popular tink for the masses ; and not enly the masses. but for the sclect, for the aristueracy. Its ex- ceeding wildness almost precludes the possi- bility of getting drunk upon it, while its smarin snd biter flavor make it especially grateful to the palate in warm weather The consequence is there is a perfect mania for lager, and hundreds hard drinkers who were going ata galloping pace toward de- struction through their brandy potations, are growing healthy and sober, under the milder tonie of Inger. If good for nothing else, it would be invaluable to the persons who stand in danger from more ardent spirits, for giving them the means of “tapering eff ’ safely and agreeably Five years ago lager Leer was a thing almost unknown Now it is sold in five thousand places in this city.

Gothic Hall, a fine old Masonic temple, as firm as the hills, and good for a century's wear, is coming down to make room for a fine marble dry goods temple, and the solemn mysteries of apprentice, tellow-craft, and Roy- al Arch Masons, will give place to “cheap ma am, very cheap ; only piece of the kind, I assure you. Mrs has a dress from it, and paid seven dollars a yard.”? The pulling down of the old hall causesmany a sigh of re- gret among our now gray hesded citizens, who first rode the mysterious goat and grid- iron under its roof John Jacob Astor’s old house is going also, to make room for Buckley's Serenaders, and instead of the chime of dollars, there will come up the musicof the banjo and the bones. Indeed, Broadway and many other stree!s could hardly look more like destruction had they been swept by the besom of fire. MR WILLIAM PALMER, Professor of Singing and the Flute, EGS TO INFORS THE INHABITANTS of Washington that he proposes establishing SINGING CLASSES for two, three or four pu- pils, whereby each voice will be properiy ex- amined, and itely cultivated, according to its quality, whieh could not be done, consistent- ly, with simultaneous teacbing—as Sopranos, Mezzo Sopranos, and Contralto Voices require a widely different training. The same care is ne- cessary with male voices, viz: Tenor, Baritone, and Bass. When the pupils are sufficiently ad- vanced to sing ne themselves they will then be taught to take their respective parts in Duets, Trios, or Quartetts. Terms Quarter > $10 for each pupil, if only two pupils one hour will be devoted, and an extra half hour for every additional pupil; $20 per quarter for separate pupils. aps 257 Pennsylvania avenue WOUD AND COAL.

Another machine, built by a Mr. Burnham, threw a stream 130 feet, and another, by Mr Jas.

Altogether, the results were gratify ing, and steam will most likely soon be exten- sively introduced as the most effective means of suppressing the fire fiend. The first award was given to Smith, and the seoond to Larned; but it is said that, in consequence of some dissatisfaction on the part of competitors, the committee of the fire department who made the awards will, ina few days, reopen the case and witness another test, when, if they can find sufficient cause therefor, they will readjust the prizes.

LIVING IN THE COUNTRY. [From the Sparrowgrass Papers.] It iv a good thing to live in the country. To escape from the prison walls of the sabeeialte —the great brickery we call the “‘city”—and to live amid blossoms and leaves, in shadows and sunshine, in moonlight and starlight, in rain, mist, dew, hoar-frost, and d it, out in the open campaign, and under blue dome that is bounded by the horizon only. It isa good thing to have a well with dripping buckets, a porch with honey-buds, and sweet bell: hive embroidered with nimble bees, a Sun-dial mossed over, ivy up to the eaves, curtains of dimity, a tumbler of fresh flowers in your bed-room, a rooster on the roof, and a —— the piazza. and I moved into hen Mrs. Sparro’ the country, with our bends full of fresh but- ter, and cool, crisp radishes for tea ; with ideas entirely lucid respecting milk, and a loseness of calculation as to the number in family, it would take a good laying hen to supply with fresh eggs every morning; when Mrs. Spar- rowgrass and I moved into the country, wo found some preconceived notions had to be abandoned, and some departures made from we had laid down in the little back parlor in Avenue C. One of the first achievements in the country is early rising—with the lark—with the sun — while the dew is on the grass, “‘under the opening eyelids of the morn,’’ and so forth. rly rising! What can be done with five or six o'clock in town? What may not be done at those hours in the country ? ith the hoe, the rake, the dibble, the spade, the watering- pot. To plant, prune, drill, transplant, graft, train, and sprinkle? Mrs. S. and I agreed to rise early in the country. “* Richard and Robbin were two Pretty men, They laid in their bed till the clock struck ten : Up jum, Richard and iooked at the sky : O, 3 Robbin ! the sun’s very high '”’ ly rising in the country is not an instinct; it is a sentiment and must be cultivated. A friend recommended me to send to the south side of Long Island for some Very pro- lific potatoes—the real hippopotamus breed. | Down went my man, and what with expenses of hore hire, tavern bills, toll gates, aud breaking a wagon, the hippopotami cost as muuch apiece as pine-apples hey were fine potatoes, though, with comely features and large, languishing eyes, that promised in- crease of family without delay. As I worked my own garden (for which I hired a landseapo gardener, at two dollars per day, to give me instructions,) I concluded that the o! yject of iny first experiment in early rising should be the planting of the hippopotamusses I ac- cordingly rose next day at five, and it rained. The next, and itrained! It rained for two the plans weeks! We had splendid potatoes every d. for dinner. ‘ My dear,” said I toMrs Bpas. rowgrass, ‘‘ where did you get these fine po- tatoes ?’ Why,” said she innocently, “* out of that basket fr m Long Island!” The last of the bippopotarausses were before me, peeled, and boiled, and mashed and baked, with a nice thin brown crust on the top. Iwas more successful afterwards. I did get some seed potatoes in the ground. But st was tho matter; at the end of the season, did not get as many outasI bad putin. Mrs. Sparrowgrass, who is a notable house wife, said to me one day, ‘“‘Now, my dear, we shall soon have plenty of eggs, for I have been buying a lot of young chickens.” There they Were, each one with as many feathers a: « Srasshopper, and achirp not louder. Ofcourse we looked forward with pleasant bopes to cue period when the first cackle should annou the milk white egg, warmly deposited in tho bay which we had provided bountifully. They xrew finely, and one day I ventured to remark that our hens had rewarkably large comb: which Mrs. 5. repliei observed a we “Yes, indeed she had that; but if I wanted to have areal treat, [ ought to got up early in the tmurning and hear them crow.’ “Crow,’’ said I. faint. ly, “our hens crowing! Then the ecek that crowed in the morn, to wake ‘se priest a! shaven und shorn, we might as weil give u all hopes of having any eggs,’’ said 1, --fo; sure as you live, Mrs.S., our bens are all roosters!'’ And so they were roosters that grew up and fought with the neighbors’ chick - ens, until there was uot a whole pair of eye on either side of the fence. A dog is a good thing to h 1 have one which I saised from a pup. He is @ good stout fellow, and a hearty barker and feeder. The man of whom I bought him, said he was a thorough-bred, but he begins to have amongrel look about him. He is a good watch-dog, though; forthe moment he sees any suspicious-looking person about the prem - jses, he comes right in to the kitchen and gets behind the stove. First we keep him im the house, and he scratched all night to get out Then we turned him out, and he scratched all night to getin. Then we tied him up in the b f the garden, aud he howled so thatour or shot at him twice before day break Finally, we gave him away, and & cams back; and now is just recovering from a fit in which he has torn the patch that has been sown for our spring radishes. A good strong gate is a necessary article for your garden. A good strong, heavy gate with a dislocated hinge, so that it will neither open ‘ ut Such aone have 1. The grounds before my fence are in common, and all the neighbors’ cows pasturethere I remarked to Mr 5, as we stood at the window in a June sun-et, how placid and picturesyue the cattle ooked as they strolled about cropping green herbage. Next morning I found the innocent creatures in my garden. They had not left a &reen thing it. The corn in the milk, the bean< on the poles, the young cabbage and tender lettuce, evon the thriving shoots on my young feui Shad vanished. And there they wero looking quietly on the ruin they had made Our watch dog, too was for gathering with them. It was too much, so I got a large stick and drove them all out, excepta young heifer, whom I chased all over all the flower-beds. breaking down my trellises, my woodbines and Sweetbriers, my roses and petunias, until I cornered her in the hot-bed. { had to call for assistance to extricate her from the sashes and her owner has sued me fordamages.

Does “by themselves’ mean that it Was accomplished in a corner, as a thing to be ashamed of ? Or if not, why didn’t the Union state the particulars of this union—what charms, incantations, declaration and pro- testations were emplowed ? . If there are to be no reverend men of God, no Justices of the Peace present to sanction these ceremonies, what in the name of friend George Fox, is the need of having any cere- weed at all? “By themselves”—it bas a terri y lonesome sound. Wedo not under stand how a woman can feel like a bride un der such isolated circumstances. It must have been painfully dreary. One thing may be said of these self-acting marriages They arecheap.
