Give mc a theme for scr.g! for taese Are fleeting, false, and frail : Like scattering leaves from withered trees, Borne down the autumn gale. For what is worldly love ? a dream ' Man's truth ? a cheating tale ! And beauty riches? phantoms all, Which they who trust bewail. Cive me a theme for a song my lyre Would take a nobler lay ; It sleeps, till worthier thoughts inspire, Than pleasures of a day ! When woman's eye is lit with truth When woman's faith is strong When woman's heart no falsehood knows Then wake, my harp, the song ! From the London Forget-me-not." LIGHTS AND SHADES. The gloomiest day hath gleams of light, The darkest wave hath bright foam near it ; And twinkles thro' the cloudiest night Home solitary star to cheer it.
The gloomiest soul is net all gloom ; The saddest heart is not all sadness ; And sweetly o'er the darkest doom, There shines some lingering beam of gladness. Daspair is never quite despair ; Kor life, nor death, the future closes ; And rouud the shadowy brow of care, Will hope and fancy twine their roses. From hc Albany Argus.

It is true Miss soon laid aside her romping airs and assumed a very demure appearance, but she was always playing one sly trick or another, and learned to tell lies, in order to throw it upon the innocent. At length she was discovered writing anonymous letters, by which families in the town had been set at variance ; and she was then dismissed from the school vith ignominy. Sfce has since lived a very busy life in the world ; seldom is there a grat crowd of which she does not make one, and she has even

could never be persuaded to learn her multiplication table ; or state right! a sum in the Rule of Three. Miss Lay, and Miss Place are sisters,
great slatterns ; when Miss Place gets
up in the morning she cannot hnd her combs, because she put them in her writing bo::. Miss Lay would willingly go to work, but her house wife is in the drawer of the kitchen dresser, her bag hantnne; on a tree in the garden, and her

Miss Ley is going a ourney, the keys of her trunk are sure to be lost. If Miss Place wants a volume . cut of heT book case, she is certam not to find it along with the rest of the set. If you peep into Miss Place's dressing room, you find her drawers filled with unwashed linen, and her best cap hanging upon the carpet broom. If you call Miss Lay to take a lesson in drawing, she is so long in gatheiing together, her pencil, her chalk,
her Indian rubber, and her drawing paper that her master's hour is expired before she has well got her materials toe-ether.

this very easy and cheap way to poison and destroy at once all the insects of any tree, is so little known that our farmers and gardnera appear to be unacquainted with it. It was discovered in France, and I have verified it by actual experiment. I now publish it again, and request editois fiiendly to agriculture to spread the knowledge of it every where. This umple operation consists in boring a hole through a tree with a girnblet,
about one third of the diameter of the tree in depth Fill the hole with a small quantity ot Fl'jur of Sulfi.hu?t and plug the hole by driving in it a wooden peg.
This docs not injure the tree in the least ; but the sulphur is decomposed, or carried into the circulation of ths sap, and is exhaled by the leaves in a gasceous sta'c, while it poisons and kills all the caterpillars and insects preying upon them. Whether boring and plugging with tulphurthe roots of the peach tree, and other trees whose roots are injured by in sects will answer as well, is unknown to me, not having tried it ; but it is worth while to make the experiment the result may be favorable.

is in Kentucky, situated about 20 miles from Cincinati, and two from the Ohio river In a number of places, the earth is very soft to a great depth, and for seve ral rods in extent, caused by salt springs; and the ground in the vicinity is destitute of vegetation, owing to the salt with which it is impregnated. Vast herds of
animals formerly frequented this place
(to lick the saltish earth) and when the!
countiy was hrst settled, their trails or paths extended from the Lick for miles in several directions, Vast numbers perished in the quagmire, and it is probable that many were destroyed in battles between those of the same or different species. Here are now found immerse
quantities of the bones of the mammoth, elephant, buffalo, elk, and of other animals now unknown. The bones are
