* sung at the late anniversary celebration Of Il
Andrews Society Of that city.
Tune" .9d,et, a heart rarni find adieu.''
Though Scotlands hills are far away,
And ocean bows roll between,
Still, on our holy patrons day,
Fond memory shall recall the scene
Where oft our hearts, with biithesome thrill,
Responsive beat in youthful glee,
While roaming DER the heathciad hill,
Or sporting on some daisied lee:
While merry song, or legend tale,
Of days lang syne, went gaily rounds
Of the bold deeds OF plaided Gael,
Who reused him at the pibrochs souHd
And like his native mountain stream,
Rushd foamng on th' invading foe,
While his broad claymore's lightning CLEAN
Laid many saxon basnet low.
Wen call to mind those glorious days,
When the brave Wallace and the Bruces
Onward amid the battles blaze,
Bore gallantly Saint Andrews cross.
That sign 10 every Scotsman dear
Proud banner ofth mountain land,
That never wat' d DER heart of fear,
Or spread its folds in coward hand.
And Mada's plains, and Egypi's sands,
And Wateroo's sad glorious field;
Both Paynim and the Christian kinds
Know Caledona's spotess shield;
Sons of such sres, in valor bred,
And craded on the northern blast,
Far as the sun his beams hath sped,
Your fame shall sound, while time shall last.
Nor martial pride alone we claim
Science and song are both our own;
High on The roll Of letter'd fame,
Stand Scntiand's sons in bright renown,
Her daughters, too, are chaste and fair,
Adornd Nth every female grace;
And purest love, in wtching air.
Sits smiling on their blooming face.
Then aye upon Saint Andrews night,
Scotsmen! join hearts and hands as one;
Fill high the flowing goblet bright
In honor of your native home;
LIE, every cline, where'er you dwell,
From rising to the setting day,
Bear witness to your loving well
Auld Scotand's hills, though far away.

ICE HOUSES.

JOHN S. SKINNER, Esq
,Sir,- Some inquiries have been made oil you
observe lately, about the proper mode OF construct
ing ice houses, which have given Use TO several
communications from your correspondents on 'he
subiect.-As always feel disposed to add my mite
Of experience to the columns OF your useful Journns
will give you in as few words as possible, the con-
strucon, dimensions and cost OF an ice house which
have on my lot, the chief accommodation OF which
is its chespnrss, and the little mechanical skill me-
cesssry for its construction as mine was built en-
tireiy by the common laborers on my farm.
dug a circular pit seventeen feet deep. the di-
ameter of which is eighteen lee at the surface, and
twelve at the bottom he bottom, which was q
fine yellow sand, made to incline from he sides 10

was the lowest point dug well three ieet square
and four feet deep, in order that the water might
drain off Immediately from the ice. when any thaw-
ing took place. On the bottom Of the pit over the
well, placed four large locus, sll's, and on hem
put floor of locust logs. close together as they
would lie.-l then put down logs end~se sixteen

wards, until the whole pit was lined round with
logs; at the bottom of the logs where they came in
contact with the floor. and at The top put strong
hoop. (made by splitting long viii oak saplines)
nailed every log, and two similar hoops in the IN
tcrmediae space, in order 10 keep the logs securely
in their places-on the surface over this, erected

with corn stalks, which excellent non -conduc-
tors, and in that sheltered situation will last mary
years. consider the plan Of puttipg the logs down
endwise as much the best, because when they be-
gin to decay. il is but little trouble TO draw one out
at time and replace it with sound one whereas,
in the other plan Of building log pens, if one log
should decay near the bottom, the trouble OF re-
pairing is almost equal to building new one. In
filling my ire house, place thin cove' u green
cedar brush at the bottom, on which the ice Is
thrown and take when getting the Ice, TO have
every large piece struck with the eye OF an axe, so
as to reduce il to pieces of about pound 10 weight
place small quantity Of straw between the ice
and The wall of the house. and when foil cover the
whole with dry, clean oak leaves, which have ound
to preserve the ice much better than straw. During
the sunni er | have dry straw stuffed in between he
walls and the ice, Gas the latter recedes by melting
from the walls,) which is easily done with long

AS that which fills the l.ca;t thou gricves.
In all the bloom Of beauty's pride
In all ambitions vainest spiendor,

With bliss 50 pure, with JOY SO tender.
Canst thou forsake thy joy 50 soon
Canst thcu forget the lips that blessed thc 4
When bending DER the precious boon

Is it for gau,ls Of dress aud dance,
Thou canst renounce a claim 50 holy,
To win the warm insulting glance,
And WOO the praise of idle folly
Then go "a fair, but fragile flowcl.

To risk Thy tame-to lose thy power

Go and thy bosom's lord offend,
Consign thy suffering babe to sorrow--
