MAGNOLIA MACROPHYLLA.

The magnolia macrophylla, one of the
most magnificent of our native trees, IS now
in full bloom at the nurseries Of ID. u e.
Landreth, near Philadelphia, and is so truly
worthy of notice that cannot refrain from
attempting description of it for insertion
in your columns. The specimen to which
Imore particularly refer for their nurseries
contain several of considerable size, is esti-
mated at upwards Of thirty feet IN height,
and measures, three teet above ground,
about eight inches in diameter. The leaves
when fully grown, at which state they do
not arrive before July, are generally. foot
stalk included, from twenty-four to thirty
inches in length and eight or ten in breadth.
The upper surface is smooth, OF light
green color-the under, glaucous, from a
coating of pubescence, and marked with
prominent veins, alternately proceeding
from the mid-rib--and are varlably arrang-
ed in clusters of four, or more, near the eX-
! tremty of the branches.
As respects the flower, it is difficult to
give a description calculated to convey az
ADEQUATE idea of its majesty. Mr.. Nuttall
| in his "Genera of N. American Plants
states it to be the largest flower OF any
American plant. In the nurseries herein
referred to, they generally measure eigh
inches in length, and when fully expanded
sixteen inches in diameter, giving circum
ference of nearly four feet. 1t is composed
of but six petals, white, or slightly inclined
to cream color. The three inner ones
marked near the ball, with purple spot
about an inch squaro-forming remarka

- REMEMBER NOW THY CREATOR IN THE pA'
OF THY YOUTH"
0 happy creature on whose brow
The light of youth has shed,
Der whose glad path LIES early flowers
In glowing beauty spread
Forget not him whose love hath poured
Around that golden light,
And ting'd those opening buds of hope
With hues so softly bright;
But grateful to His altar bring
The garlands of life's glorious spring.
Thou tempted one Just entering
Upon " een haunted ground"
Ten thousand snares are spread for thee,
Ten thousand foes surround,
A dark and deceitfuI band,
Upon thy path they lower
Trust not thine own unaidcd strength,
To save thee from their power:
Cling, cling to Him, whose mighty arm,
Alone, can shield thy soul from harm.
Thou, whose yet bright and joyous eye
Must soon be dimm'd with tears,
To whom the hour of bitterness
Must come in coming years
Teach early that confding eye
To pierce the cloudy screen,
To where, above the storms of life,
Eternally serene,
A Fathers love is beaming bright,
a Fathers smile still sheds its light.
o born to die the path of flowers,
Thou dost exulting tread,
Leads to the dreary sepulchre,
The silence of the dead
But if from youth thy spirits love
Hath to thy God been given,
Deaths icy hand will ope for thee
The radiant gates of heaven:
There, blest immortal joys divine,
Transcendant, endless, shall be thine.

Ry our letters from Washington we are led
20 expect an explosion among the Jackson
leaders. Their tone is visiblv aSa,ed, and
their conf ience diminished. Then views and
interests are so different, and thy are so much
The creatures Of s,l6shness and passion, that
intestine discord already preys upon them. -
They seem TO feel the difficulties and dangers
by which they ar. surrounded, cnd think that
the sense Cf the country is coming out against
them. These approximations and feelings have
produced a manifest change. Their dlstrus,

want Of reliance OH each Other was never so
strongly manifested as on Tuesday, when
Mr.. Hamilton's resolution, i'm relation 10 the

Never was there a candidate for The Presi-

boldly, or rlectioneered more necessarily thar
G'n. Jackson has done. Never was a candi-

certain defeat stares them in the face they vii
turn their backs and either fee from The field
or tender their services TO the adverse party. II
is these convictions founded on experience,
