Cairriut. Antsnicur Arratns—R.ecent events in Central America have awakened in the United States a deep interest in the territory embraced in the States of Nicara- gua, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras and San Salvador. Our design, at this time, is to give a condensed statement of the affairs of these republics, and their relations to each other and to foreign Powers.

The territory of Central America lies between the eighth and sixteenth parallels north latitude and Mexico on its northern border, the Caribbean Sea on the east, the Pacific Ocean on the ivest, and New Gra- nada on the south. Its climate is mild and healthful. Its mineral and agricultural wealth is said to be unbounded. Its popu- lation, estimated at two millions, is about one-twelfth whites, four-twelfths mixed races, and seven-twelfths Indians. In 1503 it was taken for Spain by an agent of Cor- tez, and in l82l it was formed into an independent republic.

COSTA RICA.-—ll would seem, from all accounts, that Walker, filibuster, is not in the firm position in Central America in which he has been represented, and that he has some work on his hands before he can be quite master of that country. It is stated that the Costa Rica militia have been called forth, in consequence of his violent proceedings in Nicaragua, and that they are five thousand strong. It is also stated that the Republics of Guatemala, Salvador, and Honduras are all in arms to go and o pose the invaders. President Mora, of

one Rica, has issued a decree to the effect that the republic, having never grant- ed any part of its territory on the Atlantic ocean, will consider at all times void and of no value, every act that may be executed on the right border of the river San Juan, and on the wild coasts of the northern sea, from the mouth of said river up to the national limits with the Republic of New Grenada, without previous consent and

,legal sanction, Costa Rica being resolved

on claiming and sustaining its right against -every trespass on the Territory of its frontiers. _ The next news from Central America will probably inform us, how the _ above Republics have received the recognition of Walker's new Government in Grenada, made by our Minister Resident, Mr. Wheel- er. In the meantime it is a grave question what_will be the course of our own an other Governments in relation to the matter.

Psruixrr iron Dssraucrion [or A News- rarn ESTABLISHMENT.-—VVe learn from the Chicago Journal, that the case of Alfred Dutch, vs. C Sherman and others, has been decided. The jury ren- dered a verdict for the plaintiff of $15,000. The trial, it will be remembered, was for the alleged destruction of the newspaper edablishment of the plaintiff.

A Youno I-IusaANn.—On making a call the other day, at the house of the Ameri- can missionar in Jerusalem, I saw a little be , in the urltish costume, sitting on a solya. My first thought was, " what an enormous turban that boy has on," and my second, “ how very small he is!”

Judge of my surprise, when I found he was a husband; he being little more than ten years oil, and his wife not quite nine! Truly this is beginning life young.—And this reminds me, that a friend of ours saw an Armenian lady in Alexandria, who, though but he -sic years of age, was a grandmother! his goes quite beyond early marriages in the U. States.—.Mrs. ueie’s Travels in Egypt.

SUGGESTIONS roa run lViNrsn.

Though the season of snow and frost is a season of rest for the farmer, yet it should not be one of idleness. It is pro- per for him to desist from severe manual labor, to recruit his strength, tasked by the hard toil of seed-limo and liarvcst. and to enjoy more intimately for a season. the society of his faitiily and acquaint- ances. But his brain should not be idle. Now is the time to store his mind with infortiiution niost useftil in his high call- ing. When the fire glows \\’(tl'lIll_V and cheerfully on his generous licurth through the long winter cvteiiiiigs, and the tll'l\'lll£_' snow, heating against the window patios, and wliirling around the corners of the house on the whistling wind, cnliances by contrast his sense of comfort, lot him then devote the hours to the acquisition of kiiowledgo which shall be most bone- ficial to him in his occupation.

He should read the transactions of the Agri- cultural Societies of his own State, and of others ; those portions of the Patent Oflice Reports which pertain to farming, and take a lively interest in the various discussions upon the great agricultural questions of the day, which from time to time are going on in the journals. His library should contain works of reference as well as those for more immediate use. —Treatises on horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry, are valuable even for occas- ional perusal ; and it made the subjects of thorough study, would amply repay

On its surfaces were craters of extinct volcanoes, rocks and masses of stones already innumerable. He had no doubt, that if such a building as he was then in were upon the surface of the moon, it would be rendered dis- tincily visible, by these instruments. But there were no signs of habitations such as ours—no vesiige of architecture remains to show that the moon is or ever was in- habitcd by a race of mortals similar to ourselves. It presented no appearance which could lead to the supposition,that it contained anything like the green fields
