AUGMENTATION By SUBTRACTION.
A rustic, bred in country life,
Had passed, remote from noisy strife.
The morning OF bis days
mid howery meads and fertile feds,
Where nature in profusion yields
N Her stores in corn and hay.
To luxury or want estrsnged,
He piough'd the soil or woodlands rang'd,
Or respt the golden corn,
His nervous limbs braved ail fatigue.
No sieepless nights. no foul intrigue
Disturb his thoughts i tn morn.
When seated round the cheerful fire,
His wife and prattling babes conspiro
To cheer the winters night,
Content. he then felt happier far,
Than does the hero IN the war
Who gains the sanguine fight.
But anxious thoughts invade his mind,
lie feels with bis own want entwin'd
. The wants Of others grow;
A rising family now share
His daily bread, and meddiDg care
Sits heavy on his brow.
One winters day, when threshing corn,
Alone. he thought, within the barn.
We'll. filled with cares his head.
Perpiex'd and in thoughtful mood.
Upon his hail.shsft leaning stood,
And TO himself he ssid.--
"From two--take one. and three remain,
From two-tske two. and tours the gain
And three from two leaves FIVE;
III this goes on, my masters COW
Will ne'er be paid for, that know,
Whilst him or mes alive"
The master unperceivd was near.
And did with due attention hear,
This strange conclusion drawn.

Had ne'er such problems known.
"What rule 10 that" said he to John.
" You ground these propositions on Z"

We're bound by wediock's sacred tic.

And ere the second year begun.
These arms embraced my firsl-born son,
Then one from two made three.
Another year roll j DER my head,
My wife again was brougi, TO bed,
Thus two--from TWO, made four:
Twas then the COW YOU kindly sold.
Which has been worth her weight in goidS

The EtojlIe,a ministerial paper, con-
tains a short paragraph, which was con-
sidered important from belief that it
was authorized by the government. In
alIuding to the comments upon the Pre-
sident's Message, and the attitude as
s,lmed by the U. States, the Etoille pre-
tends to sheer, and says in substance
"France disctaims oil intentions against

The Journal des Debats of the seb,
speaking upon the same subject, says
1--WE read in the American papers, that
England has proposed to the United
States to join her to repulse all the at
tempts which The Continental Powers
are expected to make against the indie
pendence Of the American colonies.
We are not in the secrets of cabinets,
and cannot tel whether this is true or
false, but We know that two belligerent
parties are necessary to make a war;
and, therefore, since we see the cont
nent perfectly tranquil and nobody
dreaming of war, the United States
may, if they please, enjoy the little
pleasure there is in paying their fleets,
and sailing il triumph over seas where
they will meet none but friends.

the widest despair possessed me when my
thoughts dwelt upon it for moment You were
just learning to prattle when the hour of sepa-
ration arrived But let me not dwell upon it
why do think of it Little did think the
sight of that little flower would recall such feel
ngs to my soul. Pardon me, my love, for weep
ing, and for wringing tears from thy tender
heart, Take thy harp, child, and play me one
of thy liveest airs. Virginia took her harp, but
her voice was tremulous, and her eyes so full
OF tears, that she could not comply with her
fathers wish for some minutes At length the
lively air was played another-and another.
Her tears were dred-her cheek kissed by her
father-and all again was quiet. And now, said
Virginia, will put my lily away, and then re-
turn and relate to you the pleasing and interest
ing story told me by old Francis White -.

''How little expected to find thee here,
sweet lily, hiding in thy large leaf, as though
thou shrunk from the ardent gaze Of the bright
sun! Yet think he kissed thy white bells as
they peeped out towards the east this morning
should have passed without observing thee,
had not thy sweet perfume attracted me; shall
pluck thee from thy green bed, and from the
green leaf that loves to embrace thy fair form
0, yes! viii pluck thee, and wear thee in my
BOSOM until you droop your white bells: then |
viii place thee with my rosebud and migno
net, in my Bible. You seem to smile, delighted
at the idea, thou emblem of purity. 1t will be
a sacred place for thee-thy pure bells will not
sully the sacred words upon which place thee"
Thus saying, Virginia plucked the lily, kissed
it, and placed it in her white bosom and then
returned home, where she met her fond father.
What have you there, dearest Virginia %
THE modest lily of the vale, my father"
Then it is an emblem of thyself, if it is modest,
thought he. " Let me look at, and smell it,
love.----O, yes it is sweet as thy breath
could tell thee when ] first saw thatlitte flower,
