THIS LOST STAR. EV GEORGE W. TlIOMi-SCX. "Like the lost Pleiad, seen no more below." Tlie star that shone upon thy Lirtli No longer Sight's thesky; Ami thus the brightest, best of earth, In all their beauty die; And o'er the sky the clouds will sweepj Tut will not weep alone. Thcfummer winds with bahn and light, Will chase those clouds away; And, in the azure depths of night, The host of stars display; But where thy natal star once shone, No ray will light the sky; Vet 'round its memory thoughts arc throw n; The thoughtfthat never die. The summer wind will drink the dew That night ineilcnce gave; And passing years how brief and few! Smooth down their nameless grave! Thy star no more may mrrt my eye Tose!i defending hSo"!, Tut he who lov'd and saw thee die, Will strew thy grave with llowcrs.

ABSENCE. 'Tis not the loss of love's a-suranco. It is not doubting what thou art, But 'tis the too, too long endurance Of absence that alMicts my heart. The fondpfrt thoughts two hearts can chcri-h, "When each is lonely docia'd to weep, Are fruits on Jeserl isles that porUh, Or riches buried in the deep. What though, untouchM by jealous i.n!:icr:p, rtur bosom's peace may fall to ttiack; Til' undouting heart, that breaks w-ithjiudne.:-Absence! is no! the soul torn by it From more t'tan light, or life or breath! 'Tis Lethe's gloom, but not its quiet, The pain without the peac ot "d-a;!i!

'Vou must sing," said Isabella, eagerly. "Indeed I cannot you must excuse me I am not in the mood." But'ijolle cn this subject was always inexorable. "Will you not sing to please me? You will not refuse mc!"1 said she. The appeal was irresistible. And Ned, at our suggestion, commenced with Alice Gra Those who have heard this old song sung, and well sung, will all testify forus that there is something in it irresistibly thouchmg and attractive. It present's the very picture of a despairing and desponding lover, repining at the coldness of his mistress, and wasting away beneath her frown. And of all men or women whom we ever heard sing it, Ned Rivers gave the most alfocting emphasis to its pathos and simplicity. His voice, at once manly and melodious, expressed all the varying feelings to a perfect charm. Now swelling forth into a tone of rapture, and now dying away in plaintive sweetness, or tremulous emotion. And it was thus that lie sang it now. "She is all my fancy painted her, She is lovely, s-ho is divine; rut her heart, it is another's, She never can be mine. "Yet loved I as man never love'd, A love without decay; O, my heart, my heart is breaking, Tor the love of Alice dray, "Ac. As he commenced, Isalrcllc bent forward intently as iftocateh his tones, hut as he proceeded, her head fell back pensively upon her hand, and she remained in that position till he concluded. We silently left them alone. "IJeautiful!' said she, at length, wiping her eyes. There was a pause, during which 'Belle ventured to cast a glance at Ned. lie was sitting and gazing very fixedly and disconsolately at the grate. "Edward ?" said she, tenderly. J Icr hea rt was touched for him. He turned towards her. Their eves met. Howard rose up and took her by the hand, unchecked, and bending down, imprinted a kiss upon her glowing cheek. It sealed their fate. From that moment Isa-

METHOD OF 15 u IIN'LVG LI Ml J WlTliOUT,KlLNS. The ptacticc of Hmerburners in V tiica was iorn.e'. Iy to burn, their lime in kilns, made broad and shallow, but lately they have begun to manufacture that article without any kilns at all. They place the limestone in large bodies, the stene not being broken small, and calcine these heaps in the same way u ;ed for preparing charcoal. To prevent the flame from bursting out at the tops and sides of these heaps, turfs audoarth are placed against them, and the aperture partially closed; the heat is thus regulated and transferred through the whole mass, and notwithstanding the increased size of the stones, the whole becomes thoroughly calcined. As a proofof the superior advantages that lime in these clumps has over lime burnt in the old method, a preference is always given to that burned in heaps. This practice also prevails in England and Scotland. Farmer and Gardener.
