The ( first of the ruite of these magnificent j rooms is tbe large white gold salon, c The hangings are made of crimson 2 velvet, and the furniture wrought out , of rosewood. Then follows a small a room with red silken hangings and j hlaek walnut furniture. The boudoir, j hung with green velvet and furnished j in the most elegant stj-lo, which is ^ adjoining to the bed chamber, has been transferred into the Queen's ptudy. The bod-chamber is hung with dark red velvet, spacious and' very bcau'iful. The bed, which the Queen with her from Spain, is made is made of cast iron, beautifully gild-! cd, and filled with three mattresses covered with satin. Adjoining the Queen's chamber is another bedroom, which is occupied ] by her femme de chambre. It is fill- , ed with a number of clothes presses , and strong boxes, containing the fa- ( mous and precious jewels of the j Queen. Iler servants call it the dia- t mond room. Opposite the Queen's ! j apartments aro those of the King j ponsort. consisting of a large and I r email saloon, a bed-chamber and five t other rooms. The Prinqo qf the Aaturias lives with his father, antl occupies a part of those rooms. The King's hod, as well as that of the f Queen, hap been brought from Spain. ( Bat it is very plain, made of'cast iron, without gilding, and as narrow , as that of a child. Betweeq the j apartments ot the Kjng and tl^ose pf Queen, which communicate with one ' another, there is a splendid and very . largo dining hall, with farnituree of parved oak wood and hangings of superb damask. " ' ( Breakfast is served at eight o'clock, and invariably consists of chocolate. At eleven luncheon is served. The King eonsort and the Qaeen sit down t |oit alone.

We rvproluee them now thut the readers of the Vhroiiicle & Sentinel may make the nec- 8' ishHiy arrangiMU'-niH in time for the Sumiicr guwinj. Mr D'ck-on says: The benefits of {irowiug green crops, l1' itif) burying them in the soil lor the bum-fit 1,1 >f future crops are too well under?tood to w >e questioned by any one, but it has open d it question in agricultural economy 111 lint lias not bpen settled so satisfactorily. ^ Nie English farmers formerly used half a 8C on ?>f ground bonas per acre to grow a w ingle cr. p. but tliQy have found by di?? ftS olving 200 pounds of bones in acid, at a ni o.?t of 50 per cent. on the price of hones making the whole coat, equal to (lint of iOO pounds of boue.-*,) ibat it will produce ne fame effect at an outlay of only 30 > ier cent, on that of the former mode, the tl utter motlmd giving them die means of eturning the same amount ot manure to lie land next year as the former did, by c( imducins the sainw amount of hay, tur- ?* ips ?nd other furagd to feed stock. ^ Now, admitting that jt wiil pay to grow ei rab and clover, to be turned under as jrtilizers. the following questions arise i in it what lime should they be turned uuder ln d insure the greatest benefit? Would it u1 ?y belter p feed them ofl the land ihan j cover llioin with n plow, and what do liey Iosh by diying before bei'-j; turned inler? . Here again the question of 8<ilu 111 le and insoluble manures is involved. I Bc av? always taken the side of soluble nia- ti ure? an being the most economical. Dry fa h*h vines and clover will t>oon become bo- e< jble. . ft' I will give ynu my practice. It ia one 01 liat. will pay, although I will not say that ct ; ia the beet. First, keep your land in >od heart; let he field 'hat you intend is j bow peas on remain fallow, until you bt iv t>v your corn?Ray from the let to the til Oih of Jul?. You will then have a large be rowth of green weeds to turn under.? I tart your teams with good turn plow*, dt ji ning off the land an nearly level as you at an, and go round and round until the m tnd or cut is finished. Start the pea I ropperafter every third plough, and the di and with the manure after the pea drop- b:i er. Drop the manure within f.urimhes Bit F the pe??. It you find it? peas will nc iake from eeven to fi'teen bushel*' pe1 fo: or*, turn stock ii\ upon them, plating s?it jui i places over the field, to came the moat f the manure to be dropped on the field. ja] 'fl?n invest all ihfl nrnfiL ?ri*in<r front ? r pfl teiling stock on the field in bou69 and 'eruvian guano for tbe ?>ext crop, and you Q1] ill find tins syMum will pay. I have co Joption, with both wheat and col Jon, itb good success. If the pea# fail to ?C uit, turn then) under whilst green. Second Plan.?Plant peas the first of ipril, ramu us above, turn under before *B le siemu become very woody, and plant ^ nd manure a second crop at tbe same . tne that you are turpi, g under the first rop of vine*, and treat the second crop as 9U did the first. j The true policy is to secure the greatest mount of soluble vegetable mold yon can cumulate with the least oost.

It seems to be u prevalent opinion mong a certain class of young pcrans, that a church is a building in2nded for social intercourse, for tho xcliango of billefdoux, written some- j mies upon the margin of hymn-1 ooks, designedly left, no doubt, for liat purpose, or for witty remarks \ liispered from to pew to pew, reiark8 so offorve?eing i.s their humor, liat they cannot be kept until the irmon is over. In tho midst of their brilliant en>ymcnt, it may not occur to thoso orsons, that therfc aro others who ike a different view of this subject, ho honestly believe that a church is plaeo for the worship of the one lie and living God, and who arc tinoyed when they 6ee it devoted to thcr purposes. In these days of conferences, counils, conventions and convocations, I ouId modestly suggest that pomeling of this kind bo held to settle lis matter, aud let lis know at once hat tho use of tho church is. If it is intended solely for the wcrlip of God, I suppose it would then c decided that those conversations, owever entertaining, are out of lace, since they cannot be considered' i any sense, as forming a part of that orsliip. There is a story told of a minister i the reign of George III, wlio took I lis serious view of the subject, and ems to have maintained himself itli great dignity and propriety in jsertitig it. The king being very luch delighted with the eloquence of ie speaker, was continually culling ic attention of the queen, his wife > the most striking passages: "Cbaritte, do you lu*ar that? Listen to jttt, Charlotte I" The minister was islurbed by these interruptions, and , length, puusing, solemnly exclaim1: "When the lion roars, the beasts the forest tremble, and whon the ord speaks, let the kings of tho irth keep silence 1" If one's earthly father were speakg, it would be a great discourtesy to terrupt him, even for the purpose of storing a sage and weighty remark; _>w, then, can we excuse the utterico of flippancy when the great 1 n?ho.? i ' ' uiun in iivut VU 13 BCIlUlllg US XI IB essage of love by which lie would ive us from the most fearful perdion ?

I believe lis; I believe many laugh and talk jcause tbey are not listening at all. sat and saw a young girl laughing iring one of the most painfully artling and awful appeals of the inister. I was shocked ; but theu said: "She does not hear it?infference makes her doaf." Yet God ys: "O that my pcoplo would conler!" Why? Because if they do it, they will be lost. "What, just ra want of consideration?" Yos, for that. There are others who wonld not ugh or talk in church, who are lined to see it done, who would con'mn it as a most irreverent practice, id who would not accept a "want of msideration" as an cxcuso, and who t think it quite allowable to indulge the pastime cf chewiug tobacco irug the service; but if the ohurch bui|t only for the worship of God, id chewing tobacco is not a part of at worship, it must be admitted that is out of place.
