Boring for Watsr.-The New Bruins.
wick On. j. Times state that Mr.. Dis
brow has succeeded in causing streams
of water to flow from the surface in se-
yeral different places in their vicinity,
by boring. "The depths to which he has
to bore, to obtain these springs, varies
pretty much, according TO the relative
elevation OF the ground, from $50 feet
in the lowest, to 2a5 feet on high ground.
These successive results, seem to settle
his theory, pretty conclusively, that on
any land of primary formation, streams
OF water may be caused to flow from
the surface, by boring to a sufficient
depth. This is discovery ofgreat inn
portance; it will be very useful in time
of drought, and in places and on farms
where water is not easily obtained,
Mineral Coal mines might also be found
by this method Of boring.-.N;et. Ea.

She flung her white arm round him-Tbou art all
That this poor heart can cling to: yet feel
That am rich in blessings: and the tear
OF this most bitter moment still is mingled
With strange joy. Reposng on thy heart,
hear the blasts of fortune sweeping by,
As babe lists to music-wondering,
But not afrighted In the darkest hour
Thy smile is brightest and when l am wretched,
Then am most beloved. In hours like this
The SOULS resources rise, and all its strength
Bounds into being would rather live
With all my faculties thus wakcned round me,
OF hopes, and fears, and joys, and sympathies,
A few short moments, even with every feeling
Smarting from fate's deep lash--than long age,
However calm and free from turbulence,
Bereft of these most high capacities.
Not vany have nursed them; for there is
An impulse even in suffering; and SO pure
Rise the eternal hopes called by the anguish
OF a world-weared spirit; with such light
They rush before me like sunny ray,
Piercing The dark shades my clouded thoughts,
That for such high and holy consultations,
! welcome misery; and know thy heart
Hath the same blessed anchor In heaven-ward hopes
We drank the cup of youthful happiness;
And now, when sorrow shades our early promise
In heaven-ward trust, we comfort one another.

LINES ON DEATH OF a FAyouRITE CAT
Grimalkin's dead Poor thing, knew her well,
When she was young and play'd around my feet;
Like the pleasd schoolboy, as he sports along,
Thoughtless and happy, thro' this vale of tears.
Tweue gears, since then, have passed like youth ava
And in old age she's sunk into the grave,
Pitied by others, and thus sung by me.
She was favourite cat--and such cat
As seldom frees the kitchen or the house,
From that dire vermin which so oft infest,
Harass and steal from housewife and from cook;
But now she's gone-regretted by those friends,
Who nurs'd her when kitten in their arms;
While the sly rat and cunning little mouse
Will have their frolcs, both by day and night
Because GrimaKin's pilgrimage is DER:
But were she there, she'd stop their merry mood,
And make them feel the grasp ofhungry death;
Or thin their ranks, as often she has done.
She was foe to all that thieving race
And such foe ev'ry rat must hate,
And ev'ry despise, from reasons pure,
Since she has murdered many friend of theirs,
And prey'd upon their bodies with delight.
But, sleep on puss-thy rest is everlasting
The tongue of millions cannot wake thee now,
1t cen like thunder with voice they spake;
Thou hast no crimes to answer for on high!
Thy time is past away-rnne is to come;
And tho thou vert cat, name disked
BY those who have no hearts TO feel like me,
Still to the world Til give these rustic lines,
An humble tribute to departed worth,
That they may read the virtues which sing,
And know the History of favrite cat.

DON'T SHUT YOUR DOOR.

Don't shut your door, shut your door !;
II Love should come and call,
Twill be no use at all.
1t Love command, you'd best obey,
Resistance will but hurt you;
And make, for that's the safest way,
Necessity virtue.
So don't resist his gentle sway
Nor shut your door if he should call,
For that's no use at all.
I've seen him tame the widest beast,
And strengthen too the weakest;
lie loves him most who plaques him least
His favorites are the meekest
The privileged guests who grace his feast
Have meier opposed his gentle call,
For that's no use at all.
He loves to tumble upside down
All classes--all Connexions
vi those, who fear, or wear a crown,
He mingles the affections;
Till all by love is overthrown,
And moated gate or castle wall
Will be no use at ALL
He is strange and hayward thing
Young, blind, and full of MALICE
He makes shepherd of a king,
A cottage of a palace.
Ills vain to murmur; and to fling
Your thoughts away in grief and gall
Will be no use at all.
He makes the coward brave The wakes
The sleepy with his thunders -
In mirth he revels, and mistakes,
And miracles, and wonders;
And many man he prisoner makes,
And bolts the door you cry and call;
But tits no use at all.

bring the heaviest task on tho vigilance OF
reason; and to bear those faculties with un-
crring rectitud or invariablc propriety, re-
ouires a degree OF frnness, and OF cool at
tcmion, which does not always attend the
highest gifts OF the mind: yet dllAcult as
nature herself seems to have rendered the
task of regularity to genius, itSls the su-

which are the Overlooking o! faculties they

VIRTUE 1TS OWN REWARD
4 TALE.-Fr0M


Towards the close of the summer young
man named Linval, walking in the Ihuille-
ries, found near the delightful bower where
the exquisite statues of Hippomenes and
Atalanta are placed the following billet.
sAn opportunity is offered to the person
who shall find this billet of doing good ac-
ton. If the person is disposed to do it, he
is requested to to the rude de Saintogue,
No. 1342, and ask for Eugenia de Mrande." !"
"P. s. Should the finder be unwilling to so
to the assistance Of an unfortunate mother,
he is requested not to prevent another person
from doing it, but to drop the billet where he
found it,
Linval is the best dancer in Paris after
Trcns; he read the billet, hummed new air
while he was reading it; and with a stroke
of his bamboo, whisked it into the air, and
FASTENED to the FauXbourgh de Rould, to
give his opinion upon robe of exquisite taste
but which it was feared was not sufficiently
striking.
The second person who picked it up, was
man Of middle age, simply clad and walk
ing quick. He stopped, however, to read
it, but casting his eyes towards heaven, as il
he meant to say. at is not to me this let
ter is addressed" he placed it respectfully
in its former place.
A contractor came next, one of those men
who think themselves moderate because they
are content with the trifling gain of three
