From the Metropolitan. MY LIFE IS LIKE THE SUMMER ROSE. BT R. H. WILDJE. My life is like the summer rose, That opens to the morning sky. But ere the shades of evening close, Is scattered on the ground to die. But on that rose's humble bed. The sweetest dews of night are shed As if she wept such waste to see, But none shall weep a tear for me. My life is like the autumn leaf. That trembles in the moon's pale ray; Its held is frail its state is briefRestless and soon to pass away. Yet ere that leaf shall fall and fade, The parent tree shall mourn its shade The winds bewail the leafless tree, But none shall breathe a sigh for me. My life is like the print which feet Have left on Tempe's desert strand, Soon as the rising tide shall beat. The track will vanish from the sand. Yet as if grieving to efface All vestige of the humane race, On that lone shore loud moans the sea, But none shall e'er lament for me. 3&f$CCUcMC0t!& PROFESSOR versus HASTY PUDDING Some students at one of our colleges, being frequently annoyed by the nocturnal and inquisitorial visits of a Professor, who suspected them of playing cards, one evening prepared a kettle of mush, otherwise culled Hasty Pudding, and by the time it was thoroughly boiled, had seated themselves round a table in the attitude of cardsplaying, waiting patiently for the well known step of the Professor. It was no sooner heard than a large outside pocket of one of them was forthwith filled with hot hasty pudding, and all were seated as before. As soon as the Professor opened the door, the student who was loaded with the mush, made a sudden eweep over the table with his hand, as if to gather up the cards; and with an other motion apparently put them into the pocket containing the mush. These movements could not help being noticed, as they were intended to be, by the Pro- , lessor, who considering them as a pretty Btrong evidence of guilt, broke out with "Well, young gentlemen! I've caught ycu at last, have I?'1 Why, yes sir, we are all here So I see you are, and you have been playing cards too? No, sir, it is not so. It isn't haf what have you got in vour pocket, young man? Hot hastypudding sir Hasty pudding, ha! hot hasty pudding, ha you! Pll hasty pudding you, you young scant-a-grace! said the professor, and suiting the action to the word advanced to the well-chanred pocket, with the resolution of taking it by storm'. The student showed apparently the like rosolution to guard it; but again very honestly told the Professor, there was nothing in it but hot hasty pudding, and that if he did not desist, he might scald his fingers. The professor however, was not easily dissuaded; but full of the idea of finding the infernal pack, attempted to thrust his hand in the pocket, which the student held fast, at the same time turning round to keep his pocked on the opposite side, and again assuring the pro fessor that it contained nothing under heaven but hot hasty pudding, and that if he touched it he would most unquestionably scald his fingers. Ah, yes, young man, I know all about it! but recollect sir, my fingers are my own sir, said the professor, who was now more zealous to complete the discovery ,which he thought himcelf on the point of attaining, w hen the tudent having permitted him to increase his momentum by sufficient exertion, as if by accident, left his pocket for a mo?S . ,. i r i-i WTucni uuguurueu, iuiu iuu pioie&.or iiive a tKiuui general, lauing auvaniage 01 nis enemy's weakness; thrust his hand halt way to the elbow m the hot hasty l-iz-i 1 1 r 1 mng: me uoiorous iooks, uic snaking 01 j fingers, the groaning and antic capers of j the professor, arc better imagined than desrihrd.

Mhinrrnf Flour and Surar Milk aV Jiuing of 1 lour ana ugar,JiiiK ana Butler, -Yc The following is taken from j the Southern Planter, and as the writer m says, involves much science in connexion with the explanation: 3Ir. Editor: A gentleman came to my Douse to spend a night with me. I DUt a tpoontull ot wheat iloor and a snooafull cf inferior brown sugar in my marble mortar and stirred them well together, and next morning desired his opinion w hat it nas; ho examined it and pronounced it FUgarof a sjperior quality. When informed that it was half flour he could scarce ly belicvo it, but he wanted to know if a better judge would be deceived in the same way; another spoonfull of each was prepared in the same- vay, and carried twenty odd miles to a man whom he supposed would bo a very good Judge, i knew mytelf that he was raised a merchant and accustomed to deal in the article; he alto pronounced it very superior sugar uch ia the fact that one fpooufull oHlour

and one of sugar, will taste and look exactly like sugar, and that if the sugar

was rather dark colored, it will sweeten as much coffee as two spoonsfull of sugar; in fact it will bo two spoonsfull of sugar. If one cup have the sugar put in first, the coffee and then the milk, and in another cup one third less sugar be put, then the milk, and then be well rubbed together with a little pestle, and then the coffee be added, the last will be found as sweet as the first, although it has one third less sugar, and the taste will be much superior to coffee made by adding the milk after the coffee is poured on the sugar. If a pint of fresh rich milk is made blood warm, and a pint of beer put in it and then be stirred well until cool, a quart of butter will be made; thus prepared it has one defect it will not keep; but it has a quality that should balance this defect; when our butter is quite salt, by preparing in it this way it is one half less salt, and much more paletable. When butter is to be made, if a litt'.e old butter be put in the cream, the butter will come from less churning. When soap is to be made, if a little old soap be put in the lie and grease, the soap will be made by a considerable less boiling. The Conversion of molasses and water is made quick into bear by adding a little old beer to it. A little yeast being added to flour makes it all ferment, and if a little fermented mass be added to more flour, it makes it ferment also, and then a little yeast by proper management would in time convert all the flour of the earth into its own nature.

Stepping into the door, he observed, "Will you please ma'am give me a drink of water, for I am so hungry I don't know where I shall stay all night to night.
