NEW MODE OF RAISING PINE APPLES.

A manufacturer in the country, who has seam-
engine on his premises and considerable portion
OF superluous steam, has conceived the Idea OF
growing Pine apples by means OF this superhuity.
The steam is introduced under the roots OF the
plant, and the warmth and moisture together oper
ale so powerfully upon it, that it arrives at
maturity whilst the body of the plant, being freely
exposed during the day to the open air, acquires
6rmDess and healthiness, which contribute power
fully towards the fine favour of the fruit, and render
lit superior to that which is produced in close hot
houses. We have not yet had any means OF Jude-
ing how far the economy Of the principle is carried
but we can at least assure our readers hat it is
longer theoretical. We have seen and tasted Pine
apples SO produced, and cet ainly no favour could
lbe more delicious. London paper

SEASIDE THOUGHTS.

Br BERNARD BARTON.
Beautiful, sublime, and glorious;
Mild, majestic, foaming, free -
Over time itself victorious,
Image of eternity.
Epithet-exhausting Ocean!
'Twere as easy to control
In the storm thy billowy motion,
As thy wonders to unroll.
Sun, and moon, and stars shine DER thee,
See thy surface ebb, and flow;
Yet attempt not to explore thee
In thy soundless depths below.
Whether mornings splendors steep thee
With the rainbow's glowing grace -;
Tempests rouse, or navies sweep thee,
IT'S but for a moments space.
Earth-her valleys, and her mountains,
Mortal mau's bebests obey;
Thy unfathomable fountains
Scott his search and scorn his sway.
Such art ttiou--stupendou ocean,
But if overwhelmed by thee,
Can we think without emotion,
What must thy Creator be-

So long and so busiIy has time been at work to

OF its immense population, scarce counts single

this city of the dead. Already do its fields OF
blooming sepucbres stretch far away on every side,
across the brow of the hills and the bend of the
vallies already the avenues which cross each
other at every step in this dominion OF death, so
heightened, that the weary stranger, from whichever
point he comes, still finds before him many dreary
mile of road between marshalled tombs and mourn
full Expresses, ere he reaches his journeys seeming
lily receding end; and yet every year does this COM

it a rapidly increasing size, fresh and wider line
Of boundary, and new belt of young plantations
growing up between new flower-bets Of graves.
AS hurried through this awful repository, the
pale farstretching monumental ranges rose in sight

ceasing succession, that at last fancied some spell
possessed my soul, some fascination kept locked my
senses and therefore still increased my speed
as if only on quitting these melancholy abcdrs
could hope to shake off my waking delusion. Nor

others were OF brick, and nearly all of them large ant
valuable stores we'll filled with goods, many OF Their
having received large supplies from recent impor
tatlons. we are not able to make any estimate oil
the extent OF the loss. The loss in building pro-
oaoiy exceeds two hundred thousand dollars and the
value OF goods destroyed was probably considerably
more than that oil the buildings. Many of the suf.
erers were fully insured, and others partially SO
the claims on the insurance Offices it is said will

buildings might be extinguished before they com.

removal of many goods which might have been sa

It was at length found that the supply of water was
insufficient to check the flames, which continued to
communicate from one building TO another, until af
ter four o'clock in the morning, and by O'Clock,
forty or fifty stores including four on State street,
all on both sides of Central street, several on Broad
street, and nearly all the east side of Kilby street.
most of them four story brick buildings were burnt
down, and their contents, principally English goods,
were either consumed, or scattered in all directions
greatly damaged.
The confusion necessarily produced by the reno
val OF goods trucks carts and other vehicles crowd
ing through The streets, and each one intent upon
the rescue OF his own property, together with the
appalling appearance of the devourng element,

The lire spread with such rapidly, that great part
