In the vale of Grasmetre, by the side of the high-way leading to Arnbleside,is a gate which, time out of mind,has beencalled the Wishing Gate, from a belief that wishes rormed or in dulged there, have a favorable issue. Hope rples a land for ever green; All powers that serve the bright-eyed Queen, Are confident and gay; Clouds at her bidding disappear; Poitasheato aueht-the bliss drawn neat And Fancy smooths the way. Not such the land of wishes-there Dwell fruitless day-dreams, lawless prayer, And thoughts with things at strife, Yet how forlorn, should ye depart, Ye superstitions of the heart, How poor were human life! When magic lore abjured its might, Ye did not fortiit one dear right, One tender claim abate; Witness this symbol of your sway, Surviving near the public way. The rustic Wishing-Gate! Inquire not if the fairy race Shed kindly influence on the place,' Ere northward they retired; If here a warrior left a spell, Panting for glory as he fell; - Or here a saint expired. Enough that all around is fair, Composed with nature's finest care, And in her fondest love; Peace to emboson and content, To overawe the turbulent, The selfish to reprove. Yea! evenjhe!tranger from afar, Raciineing on this moss-grown bar, Unknowinig and unknown, The itnfection of the ground part'ikcs, Longing for his belov'd-whou makes All happiness leer own. Then why shoukd conscious Spirits fear The mystic stirrings that are here, Th'e artic;ent faith diclaimi The local Genius ne'er befriends Desires, whose course in folly ends, Whose just reward is shame. Smile if thou wilt, but not in scorn, If some, by ceaseless pains Outworn, Here crave an easier lot; If some have thirsted to renew A broken vow, or beind a truc, With firmer, leolier knot. And not in vain, when thtoughts are cast Upon the irrevocable past, Some penitent sincere 31ay fur a worthier future sigh, While trickles from his dowucast eye No unavailing tear. The Worldling, pining to be freed From tturmoil, who would turn or speed The currenet of his fate, Might step before his favored scene, At Nature's call, nnr blush to lean Upon the WVishineg-Gate.

Tiieold bachelkris s'kind hearted, busy old soul, quizzed and loved by every one i the.spheif'.6f his acquaintance. His iethodical preision of word and action draw down upon him the laughter of the f young and the approbation of the old. c His warm heart makes him beloved by all who dwell within the circuit of nis kindly feelings. He is a favorite amongst the la dies, from the fat widov at the manor o ,house to the laundress who sings over the h washing tub at the door of her humble i cottage, and gives a threefold attention to 1 the-pleatiug of the bachelor's shirts. She a ktiows the worth of her particular custo- e mer, and for him alone does she re-starch i end re-iron every rebellious fold in his lin- I' en, as if she were auious to preserve his c character for unrivalled cleanliness and a neatness without a sarcasm. The old 11 bachelor is a being predestined from his v cradle not to marry, and yet he is univer- b sally gifted with a most suseeptible heart. a There is no man nore alive to the fascina- v lions of female beauty and intelligence, o there is no heart which has received Cu- o pid's arrows more often, ind sighed more tenderly over their wounds. At Cullege he stood alone for romance and dress; his g host fitted him exquisitely ; his coat wasl g perfect; and his gloves'-our bachelor wal being of the man. His heart was a "mix- a ture of pride, vanity and generosity, kind it and yielding to a futilt, with a warm spice It of the devil to temper it withal. if ol'end ed. His first love was entlhuiastic and h ardent. The lady or his love was older a than himself by a few years, and, ofcourse e his cousin. Most men begin life by wor- s, shipping a cousin; the tie of relationship n does away with ihat chilling reserve and I awkward timidity, inseparable compnn- s ionsofpassion, when it awakens for the b first time in the human breast. Ile loved h her like a fool; cherished a withered flow- s er she had worn; sang the songs she liked g -would have served her on his knees had r she required it; and died for one kiss from b) her rosy lips! She inspired the first out- c burst of the muse-for the bachelor writes % poelry-it is indispensable; for her be used it brush and crayons, he was artist, musi- v cian, poet; lie would have been anything I she requited, for lie was an enthusiast and t] in love. But the fair cousin married, and d left the student to forget her if he could. r Ile thought to break his heart in despair, I and found that he lived only a little sad- y der than usual. Even then his fellow stu- p dents named him the bachelor, he was so fi peculiar in his ideas, so neat, 0o orderly, it so methodical. It would be too long to ri trace him through his dilferent advent tres: s it is sufficient to give a general outline of his life it would he, also, almost itmpossibtle to b trace him in his diflerent passions. A h ! h naughty old hiachelor, you have fallen in love ten oflen, atnd to every lady you hasve z sworn eternal contstancy.

Mlany excellent foreign and tropical plats hav-e beetn already natturaliz~ed with in thme boundaries ofC the Utnimed States, ad we are pleased to see that efforts are I making to introduce and cultivate others. Experimnent has shown that several of the most valuable prodttctionss of the West int dies grow readily in soite sections of the Floridas; and wye think there can he no doubt that the chtoicest fruits of France would, in several of tho American Statest so flourish as richly to reward the enter prise and means anecessary to theiar intro duction.

This is among the most valuable ofall the i vegetable productions of the earth. The tree begins to bear when it is three yearss old, atnd continues to produce largely to as 'ery gr'eat age, improving its fruit every season for many years after its first yield.

SostrSztaIo Nirw.--The onerous duties )f our daily calling are-occasiontilly reliev ,d by the pleasant. employment ofthroni :ling some laborsaving invention; and a :ase of the kind we bave just been called apon to notice. Col. James flamilton, one of the Vice Presidents of the American Institute, a nechanic of great ingenuity and of most >raiseworthy industry, has just completed tand patented a New Saw.Mill. Its chief recommendation is great sim ilicity and cheapness of construction. It s believed that the cost of making one of he largest class will not exceed two hun Ired dollars. With trifling expense it can e removed and re-established in any spot vhere the land is tolerably even. In short, t can be taken into the midst of a forest ind fully set at work with a few hours of ireparation. Again, it can he used with ny kind of power; but what constitutes nother and one of its best recommenda ions, is that it can be successfully used by ianual labor. It will prove invaluablejn the construe ion of Rail Roads. It can be moved to cep pace with the daily wants of the ad, sawing any kind of lumber in the isking of them; and is of so simple a onstruction that scarcely any instruction i necessary in order to enable common thorers to work it. Another striking fea ire or its usefulness is,' that the logs to be awed are not elevated much above the -vel of the ground; and that the saw asses through the log, instead or the log assing through the saw. This is a very rest and important improvement. It saves i rhe vast labor of hoisting-up heavy logs 7iies . *&Ig them to their proper place; ensive, an it a so saves . isual space required in the common way cut up a log in. There are many districts of our wide pread country where the face of it is flat, d where the timber abouuds of the very estiquality, but where it is almost value ess, because of the great distance to saw Aills. This invention will enable the wners of 3uch lands to transport the onrds and planks to the nearest point of avigation, and by it can successfully ompcte with other manufacturers of lum er.

It is that in the case of a gen leman whose life was insured, the com iany resisted payment, on the ground that he death of the insurer had been hastened y hard drinking, To combat this, the eirs would of course introiluce witnesses prove how much could be taken daily, efore a man would be subject to the harge of being a hard drinker. Hard rining witnesses 'e oold of course be best a stablish the quantily; and one of them wore that for the last eighteen years of ,is life lie had been in the habit of taking 'very nightfour S, twenty tumblers of whis ey punch.
