Ci EH A LI) IN E. A BALLAD. The moon was bright, and calm the night And sweetly smil- d the lovely scene But deep the sigh, and wild the eye, And sad the heart of Geraldine. She sought the hill where low and still In deadly lecpthe vanquished lay: JShe rent her hair in wild despair, bhe could not weep, she dare not pray. Her's was the tongue had wildly sunt Of ErinS wrongs, and Erin's woes Her's was the hand did belt his bland, When Connor for his country rose.

Overpowered by his feelings, he could make no re sistence ; but, as he gloomily ic leased her from his hold, gave her a little miniature of himself, and with this little parting token of at taehmcnt, imprinted the last kisses of a dying man upon her lips. On gaining the door, she turned round, as if to gaze once more on the object of her widowed love. He caught. her eyes as she retired, it was but for a moment ; the dungeon door swung back again upon its hinges, and as it closed after her, informed him too surely,

that they had met tor the last time on earth.

keen Clothing. The soft soap that is commonly made use of, generally contains too large a proportion of alkali, which is a powerful solvent of the colouring matter of Nankeen ; and by first washing articles made of that materia? therewith, and in hot water, and then drying them in the sun, is extremely injurious. Both alkalies, and the oxygen contained in the atmospheric air alone, have powerful bleaching properties, but when combined with the sun's rays, they are trebly deleterious. Every lady or gentleman who ad

mires nankeen of a deep yellow should have thcis article washed in tepid water, with the best kind of. 'hard soap, and then dried in the shade, and if they are rinsed in water iii which some annatio baa been dissolved with a little alum, the oiiginal color will be preserv

ed, or rather improved, until the

articles are completely worn out.

jat. Inf. From the American Farmer. A shoemaker, who resides in the east of Sussex, has, for three following seasons, it is credibly asserted, taken the honey f om hi3 b.cs, without destroying: hem, by the following simple means; The hive that contains both bees and honey he places bottom upwards, on a form, with a round hole cut in it of sufficient dimentions to receive the crow n of the hive, & to keep it in an erect position in its inverted state Over this hive he places another, well smeared with beer and honey mixed together & filled about half full with sweet flowers, sweet aromatic shrubs, herbs, &c. Then placing it rim to rim, over the inverted hive, the bees ascend into it and become so tipsy by feasting on the honey Sf beer, that they sleep the whole 6f the next day in their new habitation, consequently, may be removed to any place that might be thought proper, leaving their property behind them, but saving their lives.
