HUMILITY. .? herefbre should man, frail child cf clay, ho, from the cradle to the shrtud, Lives but the insect of (he day, Oh! why tbouM mortal nan be prccd! His brightest visions just appear, Thervanish, and no more are found; The stateliest pile his breast can rear, A breath may level with the ground. By doubt perplexed in error lost, "With trembling step he seeks his way ; How vaiu of wisjieo's gift the beast! Of reason" lamp how faint the ray ! Follie and crimes, a count'c;s turn, Are crowded in life's little span: How ill, ala ! does pride become That cmnc, uilt creature man! God of our loves! Father divine! Give us a meek and lowly mind : la mcdest worth, O may we shine, Ai.d peace in humble riitoe find! ENFIELD. XL .. . ; J.. .JilJ THE 1UGUTF.OUS NKVFR FORSAKEN. "Hoot away despair!

And such an one was the widow of Pine cottage; but as she bent ever the fire and took up the last scanty remnant of food to spread before her childicn, her spirits seenvd to brighten up, ns by some sudden and mysterious impulse, and Cowper's beautiful lines came uncalled across her mind Ju.lce not the Lord by fcthle ncnie, but Inut him fjr his jtrace EiKnul a frowning provideticc He hides a smiling face. The sticking herring was icarcely laid upon toe tabic, when a gentle rap at the door, and loud barking of a doy, ittracted the attention cf the family. Thf children flew to open if, and a weary traveller, in tattered garments, and apparently indolent health, entered and begged a lodriea mouthful of food, and said he, "it is row twenty four hours ince I tasted bread." The widow' heart bled anew as under s fresh complication of distresses; for hei sympathies lingered not round her fireside She hesitated rot even now ; rest and thar. of all he b.ui, she proffered to the stranger, MVo shall nt.tbe forsaken, gaid she, orsuffer dcper from an act of charitv."

to the garden, is scarcely U'Lown in most

parts of the kingdom. The seed forms a most excellent and convenient feed for poultry, and it is only necessary to cutofl'the heads of the plant when ripe, lie them in buuches, and hang them up in a dry situation, to he used as wanted. They not only rapidly fatten every kind of poultry, but greatly increase the quantity of eggs they Uy. When cultivated to a considerable exfen.t they are also capital feed for sheep and pigs, and for pheasants. The leaves when dried, form a good fodder for cattle, the dry stalks burn well, and afford abundance of alkali: and when in bloom, the dower is most attractive to bees. The properties of this ornamental flower rendor it peculiarly valuable in the cottager's garden.
