cesses of Ellerse-to muse, in Quiet's lonely walks,
on the fondly cherished scenes of youth-to call
from Memory's mystic cells the melancholy tales of
times gone by.
This beautiful abode lay in a romantic glen, on
The borders of the Juniatta. On entering its pre-
cncts the variety and grandeur of Natures works
the mingled melody of her vocasts-and the har-
mony Of the waterfall, conspred to divert my mind
from its solitary wanderings: my thoughts ran in

the Joyous accents which flowed from the vernal
chestra Following narrow path that wound
down the hill side, my ear caught the echoes Of

and simplicity of which, and the kind attentions Of
her aged mother, excited in me feelings Of the
highest respect and admiration.

loved father, from whom she inherited this small

Being naturally Of contempative mind, she glad

secrated every cliff, and cave, and rock and rill, by
the tender lay of her own loved Muse-and had
sketched, with the skill of pupil of Hogarth, the
surrounding scenery. Amongst the collection of
finished pieces which composed her tiny gallery,
was forclby struck with representation OF the wa

now raised to the lip of Flemmon may be cast from
him, and he saved from the greatest unhappiness-

Matilda dies, Flemmon may be no more Think not,
gentle reader, that the cause of this tumut in the
breast OF Flemmon, occasioned by the illness of
one who dear to him because she was beautiful.
Do not imagine that this prayer offered up for
one who had filled his mind with frenzied love if
you do, you mistaken. For although Matilda
was beautiful although she was amiable, and al
though Flemmon loved her. yet it was not that
impassioned love which is sometimes felt by per-
sons of his age, and which, like the rank grass,
falls and dies by its own weight. No his
love which had long held dominion in his
heart it the love which a brother should
feel for sister, (or she was his sister y it was
passion that for many years had harbored in his bo
som, had "grown with his growth and strengthened
with his strength" Flemmon was absent from
his beloved sister many miles, yet he had received
a letter which informed him that her life was de-
SPARED of; her physician had pronounced her case
hopeless, and it was thought she was dying. He
perused the first of the letter, which informed him
OF the dangerous situation of his dear Matilda, and
that it was thought she was dying, with calmness
and resignation; but when his eyes glanced over
the sentences" Although expiring she is pray
ing Heaven to bless you; and although in the very
agonies of DEATH anxiously inquirng for and wish
ing to see YOU" When he read that her frequent
words were, {" Oh my dear Flemmon, my dear bro

dure with tranquility. His soul was distressed -
his feelings were narrowed up; his every sympathy
was awakened; every fond recollection of his dear
sister revived in his mind and although the
night was dark, stormy and wet, yet was in unison
with his feelings, and in paroxsm of grief he rush
ed from his habitation, and wandered he knew not
where, until at length overcome with fatigue, he
sunk upon rock. There, buried in reflection the
most PAINFUL he regarded not the rain which was
descending in torrents on his head. There he fan

The coffin and winding sheet were presented to his
view; he approached her, as he thought, to i'm

He behed her borne to the burying ground, lower

of earth rafting her cofin his very heart

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

At the late stated meeting of the
Agricultural Society of Loudon, Eau
quier, Prince William and Fairfax, the
undersigned were appointed to propose
the subjects upon which it would be
expedient to confer premiums at its
next exhibition. They have accord
ingly adopted those contained in the
subioined list. 1t will be perceived
that the premiums themselves have not
been affixed. The undersigned have
declined doing SO from the hope they
entertain, of large accession Of mem
bers 10 this Society, which, if realized,
will enable them to advance the pre-
miums, beyond what it would be pru-
dent in them to allow upon the present
resources of the institution. They
would remark further, that at the late
exhibition of the Society, it was found
to be exceedingly agreeable, as well as
convenient, to have retained some funds
to be dispensed discretionary. They
hope, on the approaching occasion, TO
have this fund considerably augmented.
To the end that it may not be unem-
ployed, they invite the attention of the
community to the subject. 1t is not
easy at all times to calculate from what

CASTOR BEANS.

CholOa oGANos
We beg leave to call the attention
of the farmers Of Illinois to the pro-
duction of this article. The few ex-
periments made in its cultivation, have
proved that the manufacture OF Cas-
tor Oil may become source OF vast
profit to the western country, as an ar
ticle Of expectation.
Mr.. John Adams, Of this town, as
an experiment, has purchased guam
tity of these beans, and commenced the
pressing of oil from them. For the
present, he uses his cloth press for that
purpose, and obtains seven quarts of
cold-pressed oil from bushel of beans.
He presses them without either grind
ing or pounding.
The Castor Bean was cultivated the
last season by Capt. George Allen, Of
Marine settlement, Mr.. Calvin Barnes
of Ca rlyle, and by Capt. John Adam
son, Of St. Clair county, who, it is pre-
sumed, can supply seed, and give all
necessary information to those who
wish to engage in the same business.

Women the slender, graceful vine,
Whose curling tendrils round it Irvine,
And deck its rough bark sweetly o'er
Man is the rock, whose towering crest
Nod Ger the mountains barren sides
Woman's the soft and messy vest,
That loves to clasp its sterile breast,
And wreath its brow in verdant pride.

Ofwoman's soul and woman's form,
Cleans lightly on the gathering gloom.

Blend with each woe blissful leaven,
Change earth into an embryo Heapen,
And sweetly smile our cares away.
