Fair pledges OF a fruitful tree,
Why do ye fall SO fast ?
Your date is not so past:
But you may stay yet here awhile,
To blush and gently smile,
And go at last.
What, were you born TO be
An hour or half's delight,
And SO to bid good night 4?
Twas pity Nature brought you forth,
Merely to shewyour worth,
And lose you quite.
But you are lovely leaves, where we
May read howSoon things have
Their end, though ne'er so brave
And after they have shown their pride,
Like YOU, awhile, they glide

SONG.
Gather the rose buds while sc may,
Old Time is. still flying
And this same flower that smiles to day,
Tomorrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he's getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he's to setting.
The age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse and worst
Times still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And, whilstye may, go marry
For having lost but once your prime,
You may for ever tarry.

Fresemg.-It is owing to the expansion of
water in freezing, that rocks and trees often
split during intense frosts. According to the
calculations Of the Florintne aeadenicans, a
spherule, or little globe Of water only one inch
i'll diameter, expands in freezing with a force
superior to the resistance of thirteen and one
half tons weight. Major Williams attempted to
prevent this expansion, but during tie operation
the iron plug which stopped the orlfce OF the
bomb shell containing the freezing water, and
which was more than two pounds VT. was pro-
jected several hundred feet with great velocity,
aud in another experiment the shell burst. The
imbecility of man never appears so conspicuous
as when he attempts to counterfeit the operation
of laws which were designed BY infinite benef-
cence for his preservation and comfort. The
law in question is eminently important and ma
ture has made it unaterable.
This property of water is taken advantage of
in splitting slate. At Colly Western the slate is
dug from the quarry in large blocks; these are
placed in an opposite direction to what they had
in the quarry, and the rain is allowed to fall on
them it penetrates their assures, and the first
sharp frost freezes the water, which expanding
with its usual force splits the slate into thin lay
ars.
