10 A DEAD CHILD.
By Mrs. Romans,


Thou sleepest but wilt thou wake, fair child
When the fawn wakes in the forest Wild.
When the lark's wing mounts, with breeze of MORN
When the first rich breath of the rose is born;
Lovely thou seepest-ye some hing lies
FOO deep and still on thy soft sealed eyes
Mournful, though sweet, is thy res, to see;
When will the hour Of thy rising be!
Not when the fawn wakes,--no when the lark
On the crimson cloud of The MORN floats dark!
Grief, with vain passionate tears hath wet
The hair shedding CLEANS o'eI thy pale brow yet;
L We, with sad kisses-unel hath priest
Thy meek dro per eyelids and quiet breast -
And the glad $ e, calling cut bird and bee,
Shall colour a | niosson,s far Child, but thee!
hou art from gl; one that thou should'st die
An life be ut to the butterfly,
rhou art gpn as dea d'op is blown from the bough,
-ui for tie Id uhere thy home is now!--
How may We but in doubt aud fear,
lioa may anchor fond hears here,
How should even j,y but trenbl,r be,
Beautiful dtst, when look on thee

Nitrous roots from their bottoms, This may be
seen by drawing up few OF the plants and usually
about the late end of May or beginning of June.
Besides It Is necessary that the sets have formed
root hbres at the bottom, before they are removed,
as where that Is not the case they never succeed
well. The land being prepared IS directed and the
plants provided, sufficient number of Iaborers are

much care is necessary not to injure Them. The
number of plants that can be set in short time
should be taken up at once. They should be pre-.

NEE. the observation Of the honorable gentleman
whose name is used in it, we shall sincerely solicit
his forgiveness, for introducing it into par
agraph, which is of no more Importance, than one
which speaks of an individual Ike the editor of the

us to this course, an Is only 10 screen paper
from the asperscn Of contemporary and to preserve
its character for truth and integrity, that besow
upon the editor OF the publication in question, one
passing observation.
We have been charged by the editor Of the
Journal, with asserting that which is absolutely
unfounded, and Of having given existence to
statements which are calculated to mislead the
public mind; and it is 10 repel and to ref, te
such aspersions-Ihough we know they are harn-

statements made by us in relation to the health of

are proud in being allowed TO advocate.

has not been our intention to apply our structures,
