EINRICH HEINE.-Democracy is the last

I thank you for leaving to me the selection of a

H to equality of and in that of

style. Everybody is to be free to write after his own fashion, and as badly as he chooses-but nobody is to be allowed to write better than he does. -I have the most peaceable temperament in the world. My wishes are very simple: a cottage with a thatched roof, but a good bed under it; good food, milk and butter very fresh; some flowers at window, and before the door some good trees. And if our good God wishes to crown me with satisfaction, he will grant me the happiness of seeing six or seven of my enemies hanging on those trees. With all my heart, I will pardon them, at the final hour, all the ill that they have done me during my life. Yes, we should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hung.

-I have not read "Auffenburg." It seemed to me that it must be a good deal like "D'Arlincourt," which also I have not read.

-I was reading this book, and fell asleep. I dreamt that I went on with the reading, and three times I was waked up by its tediousness.-Old and New.

MARK TWAIN having been engaged to conduct a new department in The Galaxy, with the first "copy" for the May number, sends the following characteristic letter to the Editor :

DEAR SIR :-My own paper, The Buffalo Express, does not occupy my entire time, and therefore I accept your offer, and from the present time forward will edit and conduct a "Department of Agriculture" in The Galaxy Magazine.

feel that my judgment has answered your highest expectations.

I have not made this choice at haphazard. After careful survey of the ground, I saw that the subject of Agriculture had been wholly overlooked by the magazines of the day as a sensational topic, and that all that was necessary for us to do was to enter in and seize this rich opportunity. Fortune is secured to us. Nothing can prevent such a consummation. In this virgin soil I will insert a reaping-hook that shall blossom like the rose; upon this sailless desert I will launch a triumphal barge; in this deep mine of affluence will I plant a sturdy tree of prosperity, whose fragrance shall slake the hunger of the naked, and whose sheltering branches shall stretch abroad until they wash the shores of the remotest lands of heart.

(I never can touch the subject of Agriculture without getting excited. But you understand what I mean.) Under the head of "Memoranda" I shall take hold of this neglected topic, and by means of a series of farming and grazing articles of blood-curdling interest will proceed to lift the subject of Agriculture into the first rank of literary respectability. Herewith please find my manuscript for your May number.

P.S.-I have no practical knowledge of Agriculture, but that need not interfere. You may have noticed that the less I know about a subject the more confidence I have, and the more new light I throw on it.
