Hear Thy Voicfc, O Spring. I hear thy voice, O Spring, /.

Its flate-like tone* are floating through the air^ Winning my soul. with their wild rsYisbing, From earth1*heart-wearing cap. .. ."

Divinely sweet thy song,—

Bat yet, methinks, as near the groves I pass, Low sighs on viewless wing are borne along Tsars gem the springing grass.

For where are they, the young.

The loved, the beautiful, who when thy voice,' A year agone, along these valleys rungDid hear thee and rejoice!

Thou seek*st for them in vain—

lfo more tbey-ll greet tliee in thy joyous round! Calmly they sleep beneath the murmering main, Or moulder in the ground.

Yet peace my heart, be still!

Look upward to yon azure sky, and know To heavenller music now their bosotns thrill, Where balmier breeze* Wow.

For them bath bloomed a Spring,

Whose flowers perrennial deck a holier sod. Whose music is the song thst seraphs sing Whose light the smile of Goo!

Laughable Blonder*

The Liverpool Times, In a late Issue, gives the following capital joke. Two young gentlemen met, a few evenings *go at the house of an acquaintance, some young ladies, for one of whom both gentlemen entertained tender feelings. In a spirit of frolic one of the young ladies blew out the lamp, and our two friends, thinking it a favorable moment to make known the state of their feelings to the fair object of their regard, moved seats at the same instant, and placed themselves as they supposed by tne lady's side but she had also moved, and the gentlemen were in reality next each other. As our friends could not whisper without betraying their whereabouts, they both gently took, as they thought, the soft liuie hand of the charmer, and when, after awhile they ventured to give a tender pressure, each was enraptured to find it returned with an unmistakable squeeze. It may well be imagined that the moments flew rapIdly, in this silent interchange of mutual affection. But the rest, wondering at the unusual silence of the gentlemen, one of them noislessly slipped out, and suddenly returned with a light—there sat our friends most lovingly squeezing each other's hands—and supreme delight beaming in their eyes. Their consternation and the ecstacy of the ladies may be imagined, but not described. Both gentlemen bolted, and one wasaferwards heard to say that he "thought all the while Miss 's hand felt rather hard."

Measure for Measure.

A traveller mce related, with all seriousness, to a company of persons that he had passed through the five divisions of the earth and that, among other curiosities, he had met one of which no writer had as yet made mention. This wonder was, according to his account, a hugh cabbage, which had grown so high ana broad that fifty armed riders might have stationed themselves under a sinle leaf and performed their manoeuvres, ome one who heard him, deeming this exaggeration not worthy any contradiction, said, with much self-command and coolness, that he, too had been abroad, as far as Japan, where, to his astonishment, he saw more than three hundred coppersmiths at work upon a single kettle, and within the same were five hundred men polishing it. "What could they do with such a monstrous kettle?" asked the traveller. "Cook the cabbage therein, of which you just now have told us!"—Spirit of the Times.

A Smttrt Woman.

The Grove Hill, Ala., Recorder states that in the county of Choctaw, anew one, created at the recent session of the Alabama legislature, a woman was charged with the murder of her husband, and employed a legal gentleman, whose name It is not necessary to mention, promis ing him two negroes as his fee. Mo undertook her defenco, and, contrary to the expectation of all, she was acquitted called upon her for the two negroes, but she gravely informed him that the negroes belonged to her daughter. Not relishing the idea of being cheated out of the negroes, he instituted suit against her for perjury, which she defended and mulcted him for the cost! In a short time she gave birth to an illegitimate child, made oath that he was the father, and compelled him to enter into bonds for its support and maintainance, according to the statute in such cases made and provided.

Strong Preaching.

The "book larnt" negro is one of the most original specimens to be met with But when he aspires to clerical honors, it requires a Dickens to do him full jus tice. Some one who had the pleasure of listening to a discourse from one of these full blown divines, relates that in speaking of a reformed infidel, he wound up bis description thus: "De last word dat dis dying man was heerd to say —de last word he was known to speak -—de last word he was noticed to utter —de last word he eber pronounced —de last syllable he eber breaved —de last idea he eber ejaculated!—yes, my bredren, the berry last word he eber was known to breav forth, sound or articulate—was— g»l«o-r-y!"

A Thought.

The boat of a whaler was once knockseveral feet in the air by a blow from the tail of a fish to which it was fact. Upon coming down, the steersman fell into tho whale's mouth, and the teeth of the animal closed upon his lag. After being in this terrible position for some timo. he was released, picked up by another boat, and carried on board, where while preparations were making to amputate his crushed limb, he was asked what he "thought of while in the whale's mouth?" With the utmost simplicity, he replied, "Why, I thought she would yield about sixty barrels!"

AND ITS

RKWARD.—Tester-

day a pocket-book containing 11,268 was loss on Canal street. It was found by a boy—quite a lad—and soon after returned to the owner with not one cent missing. Tkf boy was paid on* dollar** reward for his honesty!—N.Q. Cr«#csnl, ttatf.

8tray Notes on Horticulture. Transplanting.—Small plants may be neatly and safely transplanted from borders, &cM by making narrow trenches round them, and filling such trenches with plaster of paris mixed with water to the consistence of thick crcam. This quickly becomes bard, or sets and forms a pot, in which the plant may be lifted without disturbing the roots. With a little ingenuity, the soil and roots may be so encompassed with the same material as to greatly facilitate the safe removal of a choice plant to any reasonable distance.

Drying Plants.—Plants may be dried in such a manner as to be extremely beautiful, retaining the whole of the volatile oil and aroma, and their true colors. To effect this, they must be dried in a dark and close room, and not, as is usu ally the case, by exposure to a current of air and the action of light. When the separation of the aqueous particles is effected by their evaporation and they are tolerably dry, they are to be submitted to pressure in 6mall quantities, enveloped in a slightly absorbent paper, until the oil appears on the surface, and which is known by its discoloration by this, all change of color by the action of the light or further loss of volatile matters by evaporation is prevented. In pot herbs as well as in medicinal plants, this will be found a very decided improvement.

To Preserve Flowers Fresh.—When cut flowers are withering, plunge about one third of the stem in boiling water by the time the waterjs cold they will revive. Then cut off the ends and put them in cold water with a little nitre, when they will keep for several days.

Anls.—To drive away ants, use sulphur steeped in water if in the gravel walks, strew the gravel with saltand then water it this will apply also to worms. Boiling water is also efficacious, but drowning them out with cold water is useless.—Horticulturist.

Simple Core for Croup.

We find in the Journal of Health the following simple remedy for this dangerour disease. Those who have passed nights of alom8t agony at the bedside of loved children, will treasure it up as a piece of invaluable information. If a child is taken with croup, instantly apply cold water, ice water if possible, suddenly and freely with a sponge. The breathing will almost instantly be relieved.— So soon as possible, let the sufferer drink as mhch as it can then wipe it dry, cover it up warm, and soon a quiet slumber will relieve the parent's anxiety, and lead the heart in thankfulness to ths power that has given to the pure gushing fountain such medical qualities.

Care for Ring-Worms.

The editor of the Pfough, the Loom and Anvil, furnishes the following recipe, which he says is infallible for the cure of ring-worms: "Ileat a shovel to a bright red—cov er it over with grains of Indian corn— press them with a cold flat-iron. They will burn to a coal and exude an oil on the surface of the flnt-iron. with which rub the ring-worm, and after one or two applications it will be kilt as dead as Julius Cffisar."

A Singular Discovery.

Has been dug up some 14 feet below the surface of the earth, and more than 60 feet above high water mark, in the garden of Capt. G. W. CUTTER, the residence of Mrs.CUTTER, formerly Mrs. A. DRAKE, an elephant's tusk, which time and the elements have reduced to a substance resembling chalk; it crumbled when taken out of the earth, but a poriton [sic] of it entire, more than 20 inches long, is in the possession of the proprietor of this place, just above the mouth of Licking, opposite. The whole animal is probably in the bank. If this proves to be a real elephant's tusk, which every evi dence now tends to do, it will prove singular Zoological fact, that elephants did once belong to this country.—<Cin. Commercial>.

An Anaconda on the Isthmus, The Panama Star of tho 4th inst., says, last week, several gentlemen in crossing the Isthmus, when about a mile this side of Gorgona, came in contact with a large anaconda, that lay basking in the sun shine near the road. The natives, when they saw the reptile, took to their heels and run, and could not be induced up on any consideration, to return and attack it. The Americans, having nothing but a pocket pistol with them, felt a little skittish about undertaikng the task of killing so huge a monster. So the "ter rible visiter" was suffered to pursue his way unmolested. It was about eighteen feet long and twelve inches in diameter.

Naval Desertions.

One of the officers at the Navy Yard furnishes the New York Tribune with the following intelligence, just received by him from an officer on the Pacific station: The writer states that the sloop-of-war Preble will probably be condemned and laid up at San Francisco, and that the store ship Fredonia will be sent home. Desertions from U. S. vessels are numerous. The frigate Savannah has only 150

Mr. Beaton and Mr. alfeoaa. It is reported that Mr. Benton has ordered a considerable number of Mr. Calhoun's speech, for distribution in Missouri. He will not reply to it.— When asked if he should answer, his response was—"No, sir proves all I said of him, sir. I predicted the whole thing. sir, in my Jefferson citv speech, sir.— Rank disunion sir nothing else, sir, all explained in my speech, sir here are two copies, sin find the whole explained there sir.**

Abbot Lawrence,our Minister to England, writes by the last steamer to the American Institute in New York, in reference to the World's Fair, in London, next year. Mr. L. is confident that we can «go ahead'* of every other nation with our notions, and calls therefor* upon his countrymen not to be behind with tbeir kirickknsek*

JIJDSON'S STAVE-DRESSER.

THIS

Machine, on which LETTERS PATENT were granted on the first of May, 1847, is one of the most important improvements of the age.

It will dress rived Staves in the most perfect manner, and challenges competition with any other Machine yet put in use, or even the drawing knife of the Cooper. It possesses the advantage of following the grain of the wood, so as to leave the full strength ol the timber, on winding and crooked, as well as the straight inspected Stave, and runs at the rate of 540 per hour— which is as fast as an expert workman can examine and properl place a stave in a machine—making good work of every stave that should properly oe worked into a barrel, reducing all to a uniform thickness.

The DRESSER is accompanied by a JOINTER of an entire new construction, which produces a most perfect joint, preparing staves wuhout any refitting, of sizes varying from a half barrel to a hogshead, that when set up will be found perfectly air-tight.

This Machinery is recommended with confidence to the attention of all persous engaged in the Cooperage business, either for their own mills, or in the manufacture of cooperage-ware for the market.

The Machinery is in use in most of our large seaport cities also at St. Louis, (Mo.) and Urbana, Ohio, and driven by water or steam power.— Where the latter is used, with a boiler properly set, the shavings will afford more fuel than an engine of a 15 horse power will require.

Machines and Rights for the counties in the

States of Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois, can behnd on application to the undersigned at Urbana, Ohio, where the Machinery is in successful operntion.

These Medicines have now been before the public for a period of FIFTEEN YXABSt and daring that time have maintained a high character in almoat every part of the globe for their extraordinary and immediate power of reatonng perfect health to persons suffering underneariy every kind of disease to which the human frame liable.

So efficacy invariably and infallibly proved, that it haa appeared scarcely less than ™ir"ul«u8 those who were acquainted with the beautifully philosophical prindplea upon which they are commanded^ and upon which they consequently act. It was to their manifest and aensible action in DUrifving the springs and channelaof life, and enduing ijiem with renewed tone and vigor, that they were indebted for their name. th.

They are entirely composed of extracts from rare and powerful planta, the virtues of which, though long known to several Indian tribes, and recently to aome eminent pharmaceeHeal chemists* are altogether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to medical science wid were never before adminiatered in so happily efficacious a combination.

The first operation is to Jooeen from the ooate of the stomach and bowels the various impurities and crudities constantly settling round them and to remove the hardened ftsces which omlect In the convolutions of the small intestines. Othsr medicine* only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind to produce habitual Coativeneaa, with al' its train of ev:la, or sudden Diarrhoea with its imminent dangers. This fact ia well-known to all regular anatomists who examine the human bowels after death and henoe the prejudice of these well-informed men against the quack medicines of the a^._The_^cond effect of the VEGETABLE MJTJS fronts is to cleanae the kidneys and the bladder and, by this means, the liver and lunga, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon foe regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and lungs, before it passes into U»e heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek.
