Tliey tall me you do not wish to marry, That you're content to dwell tilone, That with sweet woman you'll not tarry, But marrying eternally postpone. The thought is rash: oh ! ponder well, Ere yon should thus decide ; The future no ono can foretell, And may be tlms you'll not nbide. Your heari is tod so ley cold, But somo impression may be trmde: Woman though neither bought or sol.!, Needs n supporter?needs his ni?i. With her you'll then see happv days Nor caro or sorrow c're intrude; Pleasures of love will strew your ways, And with new life you'll bo endued. Will you recall this rash resolve, And seok soute woman's love to gain ? When so much does the case involve. Think you your efforts will bo in vain ? Some hnppy maid will stop your grief, And womun's love you'll find is true ; Tormented not with blank or brief, You'll then liivt jovs in children too. KATE.

Ouu scene opens upon u highway, nearly three leagues front London. The shades of evening were fast setting, when a horseman bestriding a noble steed who seemed quite exhausted by his day's journey, entered the avenue leading through llalstcad Wood ; and the young man? ?for ho seemed scarcely twenty-two years of age?jus ho entered the forest, now made gloomy by the darkness of the falling night, drew from his head the richly embroidered cap of velvet, and as he wiped from his brow the perspiration, ho murmured? "Hut a short distance now, my good steed, and our journey is ended. Tis a long time since I left the city of my birth, and my parents and sweet sister? drawn to tho horse, could prevent it, or Wore his^ arm could be rawed, one hand of the traveller fairly grappled upon hie throat, and the other pinioning the arm which held the piatol. Fiercely did th ;gg1e in his endeavors t? freo hiuiaelf JilWn the young man's grasp, but Was all in vain ; he might as well have tried to move a rock. Soon his face turned to a puqde hue, and as he vainly endeavored to utter a sentence,1 he opened his hand, the pistol dropped up-, on the ground, and he turned his eyes with an imploring look upoo his captor. Nor was it unheeded, for the young man * ' unloosed his hold of the robber's throat, and drawing from his pocket a hamlkerhe iirmly bound the hands of the captive ; and then taking the loaded pistol from the ground, he placed it within hi* own bosom. The robber, as his captor stepped from kim, sank upon the turii and to the astonishment of the young man, hurried his face in his bound hands, and burst into a flood I * e'tnn. ' I } % , . * +mw ; 44 Alasl poor Marian,9 he sobbed, ilyou will now starve, and I, oh heavens 1 shall not be near you! " T 44 Starvo?Marian !" repeated the young man, whose astonishment was great;44 by all that's good, I have a sister by that name, and sho of whom you speak shall not starve. Tell me, my good mat), why ! did you attempt to rob me ? You seem i not like a common villain." 44 Neither am I, said the robber, lifting his head at the words of the young man. 44 Then why, T ask again, did you attorn pi my robbery?" " I will toll yon, as you desire it, and God known it in nil truth. Two years ago I wan a clerk in tho employ of a wealthy influential firm in London. At the mansion of the junior partner, I one evening made the acquaintance of a beautiful young ladv, daughter of a rich merchant. Our intimacy ripened into love, and we became pledged, to one another. Thus our affairs stood, when tho father of Marian became acquainted with the fact, and forbid me his house. I was an hnmbloclerk, he said, and not a match for her whoso affections T hail gained. But tho sternness of tho father altered not tho feelings of tho daughter, for in a few weeks wo effected an elopement, and then Marian become my wife. "Her father from that moment would never see her face; and ho declared that not a pound of his wealth should ever be bestowed upon his ungrateful girl. By his machinations, also, I lost my situation, and six months since, lefl the employ of my hitherto kind benefactor. Oh, God! tho agony of mind I have since endured would have maddened mj brain, had not UIV crentlo Marian J? ? ^ n ?wwii uiv/at hi my thoughts. For many weeks I have sought employment, but could not gain it. Since yesterday, myself and wife have tasted no food; and to-day?Heaven forvive me the act?I started from that city determined to rob. You can see how I have succeeded; and yet, thank (Jod, you overpowered me. Had it not been for my wife, 1 would never attempted this; but I could not see her starvo?I could not!" and as he concluded, ho again sobbed like a child. <4Nor shall she!" cried tho young man "I know not but you are playing me fulsoj but I can scarcely l>elievo it. Forgive me, however, if I take proper precaution a* gainst treachery." As he spoke, he again mounted his horse, and bidding bis prisoner go on before, they started on their way to Loudon. "Lend mo to your own dwelling," he continued, as they darted from tho spot, "and if 1 find you havo told inc the truth, you shall not sutler." "Thank you?thank you!" was all the overpowered man could loply, r.nd they proceeded on in silence. Tho bells of the c'ty were striking tho hour of ten when the two men n?-riv?iling water, stir one table spoonful of Indian meal, spread the paste thus made upon a cloth, and spread over the paste one o ispoonful of mustard as it is prepared for the table, instead of mustard (lour.

This wash will remove film from horses eyes ; will cure king's evil, and most kind: of fever sores; will destroy proud flesh and causo the sore to heal. It is grea for hoof rot in sheep, and may be applie* to any sore with safety. The sore shouh be kept clean, and washed twice a day with the mixture, until it is completely healed. For the eyo it may be dilutee in soft water one-half, but should in all ea ses, l?e used as strong as the patient cai bear. For hoof-rot iu sheep, add as mucl gunpowder as vitriol ; pare away all tin affected part of the hoof, wash freely ev? ry few days, turn the sheep into fresh pa ture, and you have a cure.
