MISCELLANY.

FOR THE GAZETTE.
Mn. SHIRLEY--I would recommend to our
country farmers, through the medium of your
Gazette, the necessity of economy, in the use of
wood, for fuel, as well as its preservation when
there are any possible means TO be used, to that
effect. The scarcity of wood, in some parts of
Maine, is truly alarming, and little attention
might greatly remedy this evil Respecting the
use of wood in families would recommend tight
houses, the use of Stoves and small rooms for
winter. As TO the preservation of wood, would
recommend planting trees by the side of walls,
and other fences, and cultivating them as much
as possible. lwoud further recommend TO those
Who have low swampy lands, which are almost
useless, 10 decorate them with some kind trees
OF rapid growth, such as the Balm OF Gilead tree.
They are easily transplanted, as all that |. to be
done, is to cut the limbs of, Of growing tree
early in the spring, and stick them INFO the
ground, allowing about sixteen square feet TO
tree, (or more if necessary aud an acre at this
rate, viii produce two thousand seven hundred
and twenty two trees, WHICH will thrive very
fast, and take root as firmly in the ground, as if
nature had planted them Ii will not be pre-
tended, that this kind Of wood is by any means
the best, but its growth is RAPID and il will, If
cultivated, supply in some measure the great de-
ilcienCy OF this article, both for frewood and
FENCING. This wood is remaT kaby good for
fuel when dry. The buds of the Balm ofGiead
tree early ia the spring when they are numer-
Gus, will fill the air with an agreeable and whole
some perfume. By little attention to these
thing now, the next generation would have cause
" to rise up and call us blessed"

THE MANIAC.


THE MANIAC.
THE hour Of frenzy sure is nigh
Tnmntuous throbbngs rack my breast,
s,range phant0ms hoat before my eye,
sIs brain with horror i oppres't
Won mountain takes a giants form,
Lifting his huge head 70 the sky;
And dismal as the wintry storm,
Ho@ls every gale that PASSES by.
That brook. which once 20 oft did pour
It's soothing nurTnsrs on my car,
Thnnderlng, as with the c,,taract's roar,
Shakes all my shaidering nerves with fear.
That pale moon IS my mothers face,
sDaath-Iike. as when she breathed her last,
Down looking, from her heavenly place,
Upon her orphan child, out-cast.
Oh mother, would were the child,
That once did prattle on thy knee,
When thy sweet song my tears beguiled,
And babe rnI childish troubles flee.
All have other SORROWS now,
Friendless, forsaken. lonely, wild
Despair sits brooding on my brow,
Oh mother, help thy orphan child.
Those twin-stars are my fathers eyes.
Now deigning first to look on me
They told me, he went to the skies
While was yet in infancy.
That heecy cloud, soft-cIiding by,
Shall be my white, cold winding sheet -
fain would lay me down and die,
For death to misery is sweet
An whittier am left to roam,
| never trod this path before;
How sparkling is that briny foam,
How silent IS this pebbly shore.
This rock shall be couch to me,
This moss the pillow Of my sorrow;
Here will rest till agony
Brings new despair or death, tomorrow.
Haste, friend Of wretchedness to save
The wiIdered maniac, lone, torlorn,
All rescue from the gloomy grave
One who may life's bright scenes adorn.
Let human art its skill apply
To chase this frenzy from her breast,
While Friendship sits consohng BY,
And soothes the sufferer to rest.
When Reason doth her mind resume,
Aud DER her soul its radiance pour,
Point her to JOYS beyond the tomb,
To Heaven, where sorrow IS no more.
Let Faith direct her anxious eye,
To the Physician ofthe soul,
For he her wants can all supply,
And make her broken spirit whole.
