Poetical.

WHAT DO WE LIVE FOR? What do wc live for ? Is it to be The sport of fortune's power ; To launch our bark on pleasure's sea, And float perhaps an hour ; To waste our time in idle dreams Of what may be to-morrow ; To glean with caic, from present scenes, The source of future sorrow ? What do we live for ? Is it to find The ties of friendship broken ; That love's a sound to cheat mankind, And dies as soon as spoken ; To mark the woes on others hurl'd. Nor weep their helpless lot ; To hate our fellows, curse the world ; To die, and be forgot ? No ! we were form'd to search for truth, Through paths made plain by reason. To hail that light in earliest youth Which shines in ev'ry season , Yes ! we were made to win below, The boon hereafter giv'n, To calmly smile at earthly wee, And find a home in heaven. MlSCELLAXY.

We have been favored with the

following directions, in relation to beef and pork for exportation, by

Messrs. Bradford, Breedlove and

Robeson, commission merchants of "New Oilcans, accompanied with a request to publish the same for the benefit of those concerned.

m each barrel of beef or pork, te-

siues picKie, to be made with

much salt as the water will hold in solution ; but it is to be observed that beef requires a greater quantity of salt for its preservati on, than pork, and where only a half bushel is used in packing it is rather doubtful, whether, on reaching N. Orleans there would be a sufficiency remaining undissolved, in the barrel, to justify the inspector in branding it, without changing its condition. Valley of the Mississippi.

The valley of the Mississippi, and its tributary rivers, exceeds in extent of surface, the limits of any other country whose waters are accumulated, and flow through the channel of one river to the t cean. The United Statos arc separated, from north to south, into nearly equal eastern and western divisions, by the Mississippi, the valley of which is, therefore, situated in the central part of the Amcrican republic It extends east

to the Alleghany mountains, which divide the union into the Atlantic and Western states, and west to the Hoeky mountains, which separate the territories and states west of the Mississippi riv-
