Willi roar, and foam like drifted nnuw? i I
From founts remote thy waters roam,
To find a distant ocean liouie ;
Through lake and river, !<>.' they send
To mingle with th' Atlantic llood.
At first, with stealthy pace they creep,
Then rU.sh nnd plunks and madly leap;
From lake as smooth flii' mirror'd gla**,
Jn tearful rapids soon they pass;
In wild career they dance and whirl,
They downward glide and upward etirl;
With headlong speed they court the deep-?
Then settle down in calm and sleep.
Now to thy thunder voice we list,
And then our faces bitlio in mist;
Thy glorious rainbow arches now?
Prismatic radicnee crowns thy broy.
Who dolli the hcav'nly lustre own
May well dispense with Venus' zone!
'1 iu Indian, who once roamed thy groui d, i
Lingering near thee yet is found ;
No longer does his swift eanoe.
Wake up the night bird's loud " too w lioo
The w ar whoop lie no lunger ehaunts? ;
Yet fondly still thy in: rgin brunts.
Thy caves and dens nnd mossy dt lis?

Tlio terror of thy stormi'sl guise

Yes! human love can e'en be won
By that it fears to look upon '
Niag'ra ! seated on a throne,
Man doth thy proud duininion own ;
Thy beauty and thy rage, combined,
Assert a tnnsl'ry o'er the mind ;
The fancy hind with maple spell,

His footsteps in thy wonders lurk ;
Ilia finger, in thy pride of place,

Hod! Glorious in Holiness!
In praises fcarlul, whom we bless.
Niag'ra ! With thy glorious robe.
Thou art the wonder of the globe !
Not e'en Mont Blanc, w ith nur de giaci,

Behind thy sheet at llorsO Shoe Fall,
The Naiads hold theirnudience hall;
Who treads the brink of that abyss
Beholds thee hoil ar.d foam and hiss,
And sinks iu utter littleness.
Who dares to see th' yiloliun cave,
Courts winding sheet and wnt'ry pra\e?
Unless noble'guide, with trend secure,
Conducts where winds niul waters roar.
Who ean behold thy march sublime? .
Coeval with the march of Time?
Who cad survey toy glorioifs state,

ARE YOU PREPARED TO DIE.
The following is nn extract from a discourse
on " The Last Rattle," by Sparageon.
the modern \S hitotield.
"Put, my hearers, shall I be faithful
with you! or shall I Indie my soul i
Which shall it be ? Are there not many 1
here who, each lime the bell toils the dp*1 1

lion, " Am 1 prepared V' and they must
say, 'No.* I shall not turn prophet to I
flight; but sirs it right for mo to say so,
1 fear not one half of you aro prepared to !
die. Is that tine? Yea, |?t the speaker
ask himself the our* ? !?, 'Am I prepared
to meet tny Maker fate to facet' O, sit
in your seal',and catechize your souls with
rtutl solemn question, Let each one ask
himself, 'Am I prepared, should I lie called
to die ?' Methink* I hear one say
with confidence, ' I know my Redeemer ;
livetll.' ' Let him that thinkelh ho stand- l
eth take heed lest ho fall.' I hear anoth- 1
Cr say, with trembling accents,
' Ah! guilty, weak, and helpless worm,

Yes, sweet wordk! I would rather
hare written that one verse than Milton's
'Paradise loet.' It is such a matchless pfc 1

PRESERVING SHINGLES ON
ROOFS.
The following article we copy from the
Rural Intelligencer, as worthy of attention
hy those who desire to preserve the i..of>?
of their habitations and building*?
"Some paint roof shingles as they are
laid. This tuidtes thein rot sooner than
they otherwise would. Some paint the
courses as they nro laid ; this is a great
preservative, if each tdiingla is painted the
length of three courses.
Iltit as sure a way to preserve shingles,
and that w.t'i little Or no expense, is a
diode recomthended in a letter to us hy
lion. David Hunter, of Clintoh, on the
tiUd of February last. We publish so
much of this letter as relates to tins subject,
in bopes that it may be of service to
innnv of mir f*??.l..~
'There is one thing more that nearly
all people know,if they would only attend
to it; ll>nl is, to sprinkle slacked lime on
I lie roofs of their houses in rainy day*.?
J'ut it on considerably thick, so us to make
the roof look white, and you will never I c
tro'lbied with inoM^nud it the shingles arc
covered ever so thick with moss, by putting
the lime on twice, it will'lake all the
moss oil and leave the roof white and
clean, and will look almost aa well as if it
hud been painted. It ou^ht to be done
once a year, and in my opinion, the shin
gles will last twice aa long as they will to
let the roof all grow over to moss. I ,
tried H on the hack side of my house ten j
years ag<>, whin the shingles were all cov- J
red over witfi mots, and they appeared !
to lie nearly rotten. I gave the roof a
heavy coat of linio, and have followed it
neaily every year since, and the roof is
better now than'it was then to all appear*
ance; if I follow my liWnd it will last ten
or fifteen year* longer. 1 lie shingles have
been on the roof over thirty years. There
is no more risk -shout die sparks catching
on the roof than on a newly shingled roof.
Those that do not havtl lime near by, use
good strong wood ashes', and these will an
swt-r a very good porpots to the same
end.'" '
Tna aeflon of the lirrte qfotfltt the
* t
snrfaco of all impediments to the free noil
rapid passage ol tlio rain water otf. This
enables the shingles lo dry very soon, and
consequently prevents rotting. Musi-covered
roofs will rot very rupidly.
A WRINKLE ABOUT THJS AGE OF
HORSES. **
| A few days ago wo met a gentleman
from Alabama, who gave us a piece of iuforuiHtWn
in regard to ascertaining the
| age of a horse, after he or she has passed
the ninth year, which was new D us, nnd
! will bo, wc are sure, to most ol our readers.
; It is lb ? ; after the horse is nine years old,
j it wrinkle comes on tho eyelid; at tho np
| per c< mor of the lower lid, and every yeai
thereafter he has one well defined wrinkle
foi each year of his ago over nine. IT, foi
instance, a horse has three wrinkles, lie is
I twelve: if four, ho is thirteen. Add iht
i number of' wrinkles to nine and you will
I alwavs get it. So says the gentleman
J and iie is confident it will never fail. A!
a good many people have horses over nine
1 it is ensily tried. If true, the horse dentist
I must gitc up his trade.
Wo believe the best judges have a rule
! which they rely on as infallible to the agi
j of fourteen. The horse has six incisors
I " nipped," as they are commonly callec
1 ?the front teeth. They have such i
j dent in llicm, just like the Jent in gouri
seed corn, and are hence called gourd seed
At four years old, the front pair at button
; lose the gourd seed, become smooth ; a
fix, the n?>:t two?una oil on !i side; a
; eight, the tiert pair, which completes tin
bottom sett. At ten, the front upper paii
becomes smooth ; at twelve, the next paii
at fourteen, the Itist pair. After this tin
" wrinkle *' may cotne into play.
