Selected Poetry'. THE PARTING POINT, Thus far, then, side by sde, The self-saws pathwe'ive pled Our hope, our prospect and htorizon one Now this new path I choose; Yet blame not nor accuse, 3ut, parting, bid tao, in God's name, go on, Vor still by day or night, Through travail and delight, With men, or talking with tlo earth and sea, I fluid no written rule, Nor form of creed or school, But something that beats here Is more to Ine. 'Tis better thus to part; lut falsehood to the heart Shoots. bitterer arrows barbed with self disdain; The beaten ways are sweet, Worn with i thousand feet Not with old foot-prints must my path be plain. Think not (he eternal Cool. Is measured with mau's rood, His thoughts scizanneod, as the stars are, one by one1, No prophef, saint or sage Shall stun up truth, or giauago Gott's purpose ripening as tho ages run, In crocus ana. iI rose, Aiouigh (40 sailo suisline glowe, Ono flower waves oriisfn anl one trembles gol Dost thou alone 'claim sight, ? Is love less froo than light, Love's rays In hiunan heart, lest manifold I Nay, yet., thro' scorn and hate, Wei hail but one thing groaf, Ono power the universal heart approves, With lovo's free sandals shod), Man's feet may find out Gori, Far from the world's groat ways and echo ing groves.

Theory of Color int Leavos, The various amnd gorgeous tints which leaves assume on the approach of au. tum~n are due to the absot'ptioni of oxy. geni gas; those lea ves which remain longest greon absorbing least oxygen, Some species of tho. maple, the poplai and-the beach are renmarkable for th< rapidlity with which their leaves change color ; these, it has heon demonstrated will absorb) eight or nine times thoiu bulk of oxygen in the same time thai the Portuigal laurel or the com~mon holly absorb the emallest fractional amount. If several green leaves of the poplar, tht beach, the holly, .and the Portugal lau rel are placed under the receiver of at air puminp and dried thioroughly, keeping~ them from the action of the light, -ani when dried they be taken out and moms. tened with' water, and immediately plae. ed under a glass globe filled with oxygen gas-it will be found that the several leaves change color in oxuiet proportionl o their poQwers of absorbing oxygen, the best absorbere changing coldr piost rapidly., The result of this absorption is the formation of ani acidl, and this acid chanmges the chlorophyllite, or' green pricile, from yellow'to a rod'dish liue. A. Rmilar change is effeicted in the color of the leaves of planlts by merely treat. lug ;hemn with an acid; and if a rod leaf is macerated-in aln alkali, .potash for ex. rimple,.it becomes green.. We thus have another- proof that chlorophyllito awves itsI formation to the absorpt:on md dlecomnposition of carbonic acid by ho plaint under the inlfluence of light ~or,- if this agent be withdrawn, no sb iorption takes place-; on the dontrary, a ~ontmual disengagomoent of' cmtbonic tqid gas. froin the tusauo of the 'piln is herotd--4ndon flo1uage Gdda~&,er r.-he Rfaedh, beniei or hasvana,-bas an board ab~out ten AigtaiiPtf whmo arrived ft'oir Veratt Wu; vi. vo. hl-nind now go to Rt~tifIsh*il' the ntattiot of remaining thero until.they iaV9ni oppostuilLd to join some laox. iong thein nro -Major Hiorron and )arninogs Burau, I~tle 'latter was milia ary comm1asary 9b Vera Orum -.hey ldolareithatr they will rnmlmigm :-'i4ge~ iid avenge Mnotimilian's.

But 1 consider the prosot d asl pecaliqrly appropriate ot the ocea sion of your marrasge. You will remark, u in the Grdt place, tiat they are two In dividuals united in one pair, who are to' walc side by side, guarding against cold I ness4, and giving confort as long as they last. The thread of- their texture " is inixed ; and so, ias, is the thread of life. In tiese, however, the whiteis made to ptcdomiliate, expressing my desire and confidence that thus it will be with tlec color of your e:istence. No black is used, -forT bIelievo you will be wholl y free fron the biack papoious of wrath and jealonsy. The darkest color is blue, which is excellent who we do not ulko it too blue. Other appropriite thoughts riso in my mind regarding those stockings. Tlho most Idifferent subjects, when viewed by the mind in a suitable frame, may furnish Instructive infrences, as saith the po')t: "The iron dogm, tho fuel and tongo, Tho bollows that havo feathorn lungs ;. The firewood, ashes~and stuoke, Do all to righteousness provoke."' But to the subject. You will per ceive that the lops of those stockings (by which suppose courtship to be rep resented) are seamed, and by mieaus of soaming are drawin into a snarl, bit af. terwards comes a time when- the wholo. is made plain, and continues so to tho end and final -towing off. By this I wish to congratulate you that you ire nwxv through with reenmtag, and have como to plain reality. Again, as the whole of-thes comely stockings were not made at once, but by the addition -of on'o stitch after another, put in with skill and discretion, until the wholo presents the fair and equal pieco of work which you see, so like does not consist of one great action, but millionw of 1ttle ones combined; and so may it be with. your lives-no stich dropped when du. ties are to be performed, no widening made whe bad principles are to be ro. proved, or economy io to be preserved ,neither scaniing- nor narrowing where 7 truth and generosity are in question. Thus every stitch of life made right, and set in the right place, none either too large or too small, too tight or too loose, may you keep on your smooth and, ever* coturse, Mfiaking existence one fair and and consistent piece, until to gether, having passed the heel, you come to the very too of lire ; and hero In the filial narrowing off and dropping of the coil of this emblomatic pair of companions and comforting associates, nothing appears but white, the token of iinoceuco and. peace, owpirity and light. May you, like these stockings. the final stitch being dropped, and the work com pleted, go together from the place where you wero formed, to a hi ppier state of existence, a present from earth to [-eaven. Hoping that these stockings and ad. monitions may meet a civil reception, I renim, in the true blue friendship, seem ingly, without seeining, yours from top to toe. Terrible Tragedy. The Hlanburg News relates a terri ble ti'agedy, but which is scarcely to be credited from its atrocity.
