^^^
How Spring returns ; but not to me return^
The vernal joy my better years have known .
Dim in my breast life's dying , per burns
And all the joys of life with health are flown.
POETRY. „
A Man in a deep consumption, feeling him
°%fl fed^g,on the occasion, be heightened, when
^^^
The subject, the manner in whichit is writ
fen, cannotfail of touching the heart :f every
•ne mho reads it.
Starting and shivering in the unconstant wind,
Meagre and pale, the Ghost of what I was,
Beneath some blasted tree I he reclined,
And count the silent moments as they pass.
The winged moments, whose unstaying speed
No art can stop, or in their course arrest;
Whose flight shall shortly count me with the dead.
And lay me down in peace with them that les.
Oft morning dreams presage approaching fate ;
And morning dreams, as Poets tell, aretrue :
Led by pale Ghosts, I enter Death s dark gate,
And bid the realms oflight and life adieu .
I hear the helpless wail, the shriek of woe ;
I see the muddy wave, the dreary shore,
The sluggish streams that slowly creep below,
Which mortals visit, and return no more.
Farewell, ye blooming fields ! ye cheerful plains !
Enough for me the Church-yard's lonely mound;
Where melancholy with still silence reigns,
And the rank grass waves oer the cheerless
ground.
,rHE Subscribers having
A formed a connexion in business under the
firm of
Pearse & Walker,
There let me wander at the close ofev e,
When sleep sits dewy on the Labourer s eyes ;
The World and all its busy follies leave, „
And talk with wisdom where my Daphne lies.
There let me sleep forgotten in the clay,
When Death shall shut these weary aching eyes ;
Rest in the hopes of an eternal d£',
Till the lon^ nig ht is gone, and The last morn arise.

Method of destroying Caterpillar: on tree:.
Take a chaffing dilh with lighted charcoal, &
placing it under the branches that are loaded with
catterpillars, throw some pinches of brimstone upon
the coals. The vapour of the fulpher, which ,
mortal to these infedi, will not only destroy all
that are on the tree, but prevent it from being in
fefted with them afterwards. A pound of fulplier
will clear as many trees as grow on federal acres.
This method has been fuccefsfully tried in France.
In the journal " CEcowomique," the following is
said to be infallible against catterpillars feeding on
cabbage, and perhaps may be equally serviceable
zgainft those th^t infeft other vegetables. Sow
with hemp all the borders of the ground where
you mean to plant your cabbage; andalthougn
the neighborhood is infeded with caterpillars, the
ipace included by the hemp will be perfeAly free,
not one of the vermin will approach it.
