ING BACE MY FLOWERS. "Bring back my flowers !" said a rosy child, As she played by the streamlet's side, And cast down wreaths of the flowerets wild On the ever-hurrying tide. But the stream flowed on and her treasures bore To the far-off sparkling sea, To return to the place of their birth no more, Though she cried, " Come back to me, Yea fairest gems of these forest bowers: Oh, stream! bright stream ! bring back my flow ers.". "Bring back my flowers I" said a noble youth, As lie mournfully stood alone, And sadly thought on the broken truth Of a heart that was once his own Of alight tait shone on his life's young day, As brilliant as man c'er knew; Of a love that his reason had Ted astray, And to him was no longer true. "freturn !" lie cried, "life's brightest hours: Oh, stream of Time! bring back my flowers." "Bring back my flowers !" a mother sighed, O'er the grave where her infant slept ; And where, in her stubbornness and pride, She her tearful vigils kept. "Oh, why does the cruel hand of Death Seek victims so fair as she ? Ob, why are the loved ones of othersleft, While mine is thus snatched from me? Who gave to thee, Death, such cruel powers ? Oh, grave-dark grave! bring back my flowers!" " Bring back my flowers !" said a gray haired man, For the friends of his youth were fled; And those he had loved and cherished most Were slumbering with the dead. But a faith in his God still cheered him on, Though the present was dark and drear, Vor he knew that in Heaven he would meet again The friends upon earth so dear. "Come, Death !" he cried, " for in Eden's bow ers Our God will restore our long-lost-flowers." "WE MEET TO PE~f FOREVER," We rnet to part forever We met, but meet no more. Those hours of joy and happiness Witlithee are ever o'er. All drear. seems the cold, cold world; All niglit--and not one ray Of hope to light the wilderness Or eheer my lonely way. Thy smile an- angel. might have owned I never more shall see, Nor hear again thy voice whieli seen'd Like musie sweet to me. Thy kiss which thrilled my bosonlr Thy pure, thy loving kiss, I never shall receive again It were too much of bliss. Eaceh cherished word and token. Thy goodnesss ever gave, Bymc alraW be far prised abo~ve The gems of sea or cave. Thy memoiry ,..~~ In tliat I'll seek for happiness,; May heav en keep wiateh c'er thinie. Bottom Lands Overrated. We think that the value of ,dver hot. toms, when compared with fair uplands, has been and still is much overrated. For the first few years of cultivation, the biottoms produce heavy crops, with less labor tha~n the hill land. But this state of things is of short duration, unless tbe low land is withini thme reach of freshets, and thus receives, as it wiere, an annual coat of manure from the turbid waters of the stream. An excess of vegetable nmatter nil soils is of no more use than any other inigre dient, anid without a due proportion of the mineral or alkaline constituents, it would riot bring a crop to maturity. A light, spongy, ichl piece of bottom is imore likely to suffecr from dr'outh than a well composed loam. The changes from -wvet to dry are more marked in black mould than in loam, because the latter holds on to its mnoisture wiith more tenaci ty. To make good upland proof against drouth, it is only necessary to stir it well; anid the subsoil plow produces in this respect a wonderful effect. It operates by stirring the mass to a great depth, into which the surplus rain and moisture settles in a wet time, to be held in reserve for a dry one. Bottom land engenders weeds and useless herbage so much faster than upland, that in order to keep it clear, a groa'er amount of labor is necessary. As in the process of cultivation the vege table aliment is extracted, it is not so' easily replaced as' in upland. In bottom lands, the alkalies become first exhausted, and our ordinary stable manure does not replace them. The variety of crops is greater on upland than low land. We all know the benefit of a change of crops. It is like a change of labor to the humau body-it amounts to rest or to relief, and is still labor and profit. Idleness also produces rest, het no profit; but if a man wvho has been work. ing half the day, and -is fatigued, sits down to his lapstone the other half, hre becomes rested, and at the same time makes a pair of shoes. Soil is in thuis respect very much like land; it becomes rested by change of crop, and yet loses no time. It is, therefore, a great advantange to soil that will produce the greatest variety of crops. Upland' isalso better for fruit. For grass it is frequently av good as bot tom land, only it requires move- amd better preparation.-West Agr. -.0. A MAIM.-To enable a man, or a horse, to do a full day's wvork each must be well led-to enable the earth to yield ni plentiful crop, it too, miust be wvell fed. Without a large portion of the material to make it out of, be in the soil, a vegeta bue produc cannot be nerfected.-Ibid. Signs of -a Prosperous Farmers. When lights afe seen burning in the house before the break of day, in winter especially, it shows that the day will never break on the breaking in of the winter of adversity. When you see his barn larger than his house, it shows that he will have large profits and small afflictions. When you see him driving his work instead of his work driving him, it shows that he will never be driven from good resolutions, and that he will certainly work his way to prosperity. When you see in his house more lamps for burning lard or grease than candle. sticlks for more expensive purpose, it shows that economy is lighting his way to happiness and plenty with that light which should enlighten every farmer in the worf. When you always see in his wood house a sufficiency for three months or more, it shows that he will be more than a nine days' wonder in farming ope rations and that he is not sleeping in his house after a drunken frolic. When he ias a house separate from the main building, purposely for ashes, and an iron or tin vessel to transport them, it shows that he never built his dwelling to be a funeral pile for his family and perhaps himiself. When his hog pen is boarded "inside and out, it shows that he is "going the whole hog," keeping plenty inside the house and poverty out." When his sled is housed in summer and his farming implements covered both winter and summer, it is plain lie will have a good house over his head in the summer of eaily life and the winter of old age. Wten his cattle ate properly sheltered and fed in winter, it evidences that he is acting according to scripture wliich says that" a merciful man is merciful to his beast." , When lie is seen subscribing for a newspaper and paying in advanve, it shows that he is speaking like a book respecting the latest improvements in agriculture and that he never gets his walking papers to the land of poverty. -0. The Farmer's Home. From an essay on this subject by Mr. Luke Derwin, we take these suggestions: " There is no farmer too poor, in our land-too poor to have a beautiful home of his own; for it needs not wealth to make it peaceful and happy. God has scattered the means all around us, and a pleasant labor will be sufficient to beau tify and adorn it. Spare a little ground around your dwelling for a lawn, trees and flowers. You can find leisure to plant the trees, and your daugh(er will, I trust, gladly attend to the vines and flow. ers. It will take but little time, and once engaged in the labor itself, and feel within you the happy feeling which can only be felt in adorning and making mnore plea. sant your home. True the ground thus devoted. might lbe uisefuli in a mere do1. -ardiaets points' of viewv, planted with corn; hut if refinement of feeling and increased love of home are any re compense for a few paltry dollars and ents, then this little will pay most usu rous interest upon all the capital invested. If keeping your children from vicion's in fluences, and 'teachintg them to uve- their birth place, and care for its appearance, is aught gained ; then rich will be the yearly,y~ea, and daily return from this small spot! Gladly as they grow older will they tend, and still more beautify it; " Ihome, sweet Home," w~ill ever, in their after life exert its purifying influence on their feelings, leading themr to toil earn estly to make for themselves in their second childhood such a sweet resting place as that in which their earlier years were passed. CzxSYT Rn GRAFI~xo.-The graft. ing season lwejig at hand, it may be of advantage to some of' our readers to state that we have found the very b.est grafting wax made from the following ingreacts: One part tallow, two of beeswvax, and three of rosin ; melt and mix the whole turn it into cold water, and wvork it as shoemaker's wvax. TJheso make a com pound that will not melt in hot summer's sun, nor crack in the severest cold.--Bal timo're Clipper,. To ExTRACT LaMP OIL FROM A DREss. -If lamp oil is spilled upon a dress that will nfot be injured by wetting, lay it im nediately in a small tub' of cold water. A portion of the oil will be see~r to'rise to the surface ; then pour off the water, replace it with fresh, and still more oil will be seen floating on the surfaco. Again pour off the water, and fill the tub anew, repeating the process until no more oil can be discovered oni the surface. Then take out the dress, wvridng it well, and dry and iron. No washing is neces sary. If lamp oil, tar, or any. ether grease is spilled on a white dress, it can be eradicated by washing and boiling in the asual manner. LUcERNE.-We have recently seen it' intimated that this plant will not answer for the Southaour opinion, is, that it will, provided the soil be good, and there be lime in it.

Peterson, the comedian, lent a brother ctor two shillings, and when he made a emand for the debt, the debtor turning eeishly from him, exclaimed, " H-ang it, I'll pay you to-day, in some shape or oth er."

A Texan who was returning home after the battle of Buena Vista, having got separated from his companions, and hav ing had his horse stolen by .the Indians, was obliged to take it afoot. Walking along leisurely one Sunday morning, with his rifle on his shoulder, looking out for game to make a breakfast on, without knowing what day of the week it was, he suddenly came to a small stream on the confines of Texas, not knowing that he had as yet reached the border of his native State. Perceiving that the stream abounded in fish, he took a hook and line from his pocket, and procuring some worms for bait, he sat down patiently on the bank, wrapped in a brown study, thinking of his little farm at home, when a preacber who was on the circuit rode suddenly up, and accosted him: " Hallo, stranger! what are you doing there I" " Fishing formy breakfast," replied the Texan, without deigning to look around at his interrogator. " Well, do you know you are violating the Sabbath ?" said the preacher. " No," said the Texan, turning around and looking up at the preacher for the first time, with an air of surprise, which the preacher took for consternation, "I must be somc what near the white settle. ment, then." "Yes, you are," replied the preacher, " and violating the Lord's Day, for which you willhave to answer hereafter, on the g-rat day of judgment." The Texan looked up with a supplica ting air, and the preacher, thinking his penitent mood a good time to make him a convert, continued: " Do you know, my friend, that yon are sitting on the verge of the broad stream of iniquity, and without you leave here and turn into the home paths of vir. tue, that you will be lost? Where do you think you would go to now I" said the preacher, warming with his own elo quence, "supposing the angel Gabriel was to blow his horn I" The Texan coolly hauled in his line, and putting it into his pocket, rose to his feet, and fronting the preacher, said: " You ask me whar I think I would go to if the angel Gabriel should blow his horn 1" "Yes," replied the preacher. " Well, you see, wharever thar is an if the case admits of an argument-now vou are supposin', aint you? Well, now, maybe you know what a beegum ist Maybe you've hlearn tell of these big black bars hearabouts, and maybe you've seen Injins? Well, now, supposin' you was after a beegum, andoue-of these big black bar, was after you, and a smart chance of red skins was after the bar. Nowv, what would you do-keep the tree from the bar, gine the bar agin the Injins, gine the Injins agin the bar, or grease and slope ?". The preacher gave the Texan one look, and rode along. A GETLEX.A on a visit in Washing ton, recently, and anxious to listen to the debates, opened, very coolly, one of the dors to the Senate, and was about to pass in, when thme door-keeper asked. " Are you a privileged member!" " What do you mean by such a man ? sked tihe stranger. T1he reply wvas, a Governor, an ex menber of Congress, or a foreign Min ister. The stranger said, " I am a minister." "From what court or county, if you please ;" said the official. (very gravely pointing ny)-" From the Court of H-eaven, sir." To this our door-keeper waggishly remarked, " This government at present as no intercourse with that foreign power!l" THERE 1S a place in New Hampshire where they never have any old maids.

A SAFE and certain cure for Coughs, Colds, Crou p, Asthma, Consumption of the Lungs Spitting of Blood, Bronchitis, Ilooping Cough, and all Pulmonary Afreetions. A Lovely Young Lady Cured of Consumption I Ta following is from the pen of Wx. 11. Lz visoN, Esq., the distinguished editor of the U. S Military and Naval Argus, under date of New York, January 26, 1851. What could be more conclusiveI "It in seldom we permit ourselves to occupy a space in these columns to speak in praise of any article in the patent medicine way; but when we see the life of a fellow creature uaved by the use of any medicine whatever, we consider it as our right, if not our duty, to give a simple statemeat of facts. that others may, in like manner, be bene fitted. The case which has induced ts to pen this article was that of a young lady of our acquain. tance, who by frequent exposure to the night air, contracted a Cold which settled on the Lungs be fore its ravages could be stayed.- (This occurred two years ago this winter.) Varous remedies were used, but with very little effect or benefit. The Cough grew worse, with copious expeetora tion, and the sunken eye, and pale, hollow cheek, told plainly that pulmonary disease was doing its worst on her delicate frame. The fam-ly physi ean was consulted. and although he would not admit to thie young lady that she really had the Consumption,yet he would give no encouragement. as to a cure. At this crisis her mother was per suaded to make use of a- bottle of Dr. iogers' Compound Syrup of Liverwort and Tar. and we are happy to state she was perfectly cured in less than three months by this medicine alone, after even hope was destroyed. It is useless to com ment on such a case as this, for the simple truth will reach where polished fiction never can. If any doubt the authenticity of this statement, let then call at this Ofice.-U. S.
