I COULD HAVE LIVED FOREVER.
I dreamed last night I saw thee
Sweet spirit, thou wert there;
TIM ruby lip was smiling.
To step was light as air.
Thy easrt seemed like a fountain
Of waters gushing free.
And in thie eye such glances
As sparkle on the sea.
It twined thy golden tresses
With blossoms rich and rare,
Aa3d premed thy cheek. sweet maiden,
8,, beautifal, so fair.
The summer left its beauty,
And waited through the vale,
A fond of perfamed incene,
On ev'ry passing gale.
SI eimaId 6 lived forever
So radant aa loi
Was the valiev o' my dream;
The liquid songs ofgladness.
Fram birds o ev hue,
Were stealing throng the shadows
Of the cyprus aad the yew.
The hum of varied insects
Came sweetly on the ear.
Ihe wandering tones of music,
That evening zephyr. bear
The stre'lets marmuring whisper t
Was melody to me.
Forever as I hastened,
It told a tale of thee.
It said thou wert brighter.
Than the early morning hour
It raid that thou wert purer
Than the dew drop os the Bower.
It told me thou went gentle
As the sighing winad of even.
And liked thy youthful spirit
With the golden dreams of heaven.
Ah! how Iloved to linger
By that chrystal water's Bow,
And hear its chaunted cadence,
Its numbers soft and low,
Its echoes were the voices,
tif a low-breathed magic lute.
Or the sweetly warbling accent.

The Gola Mine.-Many years ago, whbe
the now proud Queen city of the Wei

The keeper of the 'Chained Bear' was
at a loss to fid his customer, and racked
his brain to divine the nature of the 'migh

had their say-old Mrs. Koownll her guess

Ofcourse the news,
through the town, that

The bar-rmom of the -,Biar" was throng

to a varicty of devices to pull wool over the
eyes of the unsophisticated countryman.
Ihe lunmps passed through the hpads of
thousands-the knowing ones, in bearing
of the stranger, expressed doubts as to
their quality-others co'tended they were
copper, and not a few pronounced them
stone! The excitement hourly increa.ed
various offers were made for tho Snake
creek farm-but the owner did mot appear
the least disposed to sell. Five, ten, and
twenty thousand dollars were olfiered for
land not worth a bundred, but the clodhops
per wai inflexible; he did'a care about
selling out his gold patch. At last he was
offered by a company of enterprising spe.
culators thirty thousand dollars for it, on
the nail, on his assurance that " the boys"
had gathered a pile of similar looking
lumps. The bargain was closed-the cash
forked over-the eager purchasers shown
the "gold patch"-but no more lumps were
found ! Men were employed to dig in eve
my direction, but no traces of a vein could
be discovered, and the greenhorn was never
seen afterwards.
AN usrOaTUr~aTE AERONAUT.
After noticing the several not very favor

,Aeronaut, en the autumn of last year, from
the Gardem of Plnts and the Rotode des
.Brotmeaux am Lyons. the Courier de Lyon
gives an account of another of his flights,
thbe results of which were 'till muore disas
, trous. It appears that M. Cosnmachi, hay
i ing gone to Turin to exhibit his balloon
I duming the fetes on the occcasion of the
- marriag of the Duke of Savoy, made a
a successful ascent, to the great satisfaction of
I all the spectators; but unfortunately reach
Sed the earth again at a place not very far
a from Turin, called Montcaller, garrisoned
as by a regiment of soldiers, who had never
is seen or heard ofra balloon, aod who, in
, their ignorance. took M. Cosmashi for sonme
p fallen angel, sent to hring wo and death
es upon the world. They consequenmtly set
i upon him, and beat him until he became
g senseless. and then tore his air-borne car,
le with all its apparatus, to tatters, causing
ke him a loss of at least 18,000 francs. in ad
m dition to his personal injuries. The Lyorms
i Journal adds, however, that the King of
m Sardinia, en learning this act of stupId

on the regiment, and compelled it to make
I ample compensation to M.'ICosmachi for
all his loss and suffering.

that oily food is particularly indigestible.

There is now residing in the vicinity of

Army, and was on a visit to this ennntry
with a view to offer his assistance to the
heroic band then stn ggling for their free

were thrust into the Jersey Prison Ships,
and underwent the dreadful cruelties and
sufferingswhich prevailed in those living

Mr. Editor,-Allow me to claim a small
space in your valuable paper, merely for
-the purpose of correcting a slight masap
preheusion of-A Breeder" in respect to the
color of the sow from which Is descended
the beautiful white pig belonging to Mr.
Subleti. referred to in his article in your
June number. She was truly (as I am
informed) the nf5pring of a white Berk
shire boar. but her mother is not white, as
your correspondent describes ber. She is,
to use his own descriptive language, "dis
tinguished by a tawny ground, marked
with blackish spots"-a brief yet compro
bensive compendium of what Low and
others have said cf the Berkshire breed of
swine, Of the genuineness as Berkshires
of both parents I entertain not a doubt, but
that they are of a different variety from the
black Herkshires I am equally confident,
not having been subjected to the Siamese
cross, which constitutes the peculiar and
distinctive characteristic of the last men
ioned breed. The sow above referred to
is now in my possession. She has a litter
uf pigs by a very fine black Berkshire boar
of tbel:st blood, but not one of them is
marked after their sire. They are all spot
ted after the manner of their mother, and
partake of her symmetry and beauty in
form and appearance. I hild these in
just as high estimation as I do my Berk
shirr pigs of Siamise descent, yet I should
not think of sending them to a person or
dering in the usual terms. "Berkshire pigs."
because they are not of that precise varie
ty I bhould presume to be intended. They
are only China Lerkshires, while the oth
ers are Siamese Berkshires, Admit these
distinctions and all controversy about white
and black varieies would be at an end.
Yours, respectfully.
