 A cup of festal wine, Tho pledg'd by many breaking hearts, Still strsng for tiee and thine. With smiling lip, & calm, smooth brow Oar fa,sh hath tanyht the art. From ev'ry loved one, round us now In svidier guise to part. Vhe homes---the homes ofPoland-- The mountains and the plains, The rivers. and the free wild woods, The slave who burst their chains. The mothers sacred Iove--the tears That weep the hero'sfalI-- Vhe memory of our better years-- Fill nigh to one and all. Tho sword--the sword for Poland The keenest, and the best; But fling away the coward shield,
 And bare the warriors breast. As gaily to the battle ground,
 Is to the banquet ,---en! There's music in the trumpet sound, Fill high----though hope be gone. The cross----the cross for Poland,
 Aye. honest heart and true, Flaw hoidly died the peaceful robe, Ing glory E sanguine hue. Beam hoIy cross of conquering fame That led our Constantine; But iremble thou, of recreant name. Before the bannered sign. Good night----Good night to Poland Tomorrow sun may rise I o see it's rest on mother earth,
 Beneath our own blue skies: And welcome, welcome, if the strife be won, to make thee free. Till, to the last dear throb of life, On' Poland----all for thee! $.

 Bus the wind as 1t whistled by, Bare on it's pinion the shout of the strong, And the voice of victory. 1t came on the breeze, that thrilling sound, Aud lie knew that the field was won He sprang like a fawn from the gory ground A pd was dartipg wildly on--- But he gasp'd as ie sunk on the gory sod And his voice was faint and low; ssHc.orcd pss,ssnd d''--ssmy senl to tied''-- s'My curse to my country's ioc'------ ssris done. and no more those lightning rays iiiumine the eye of the dead srTis 0 CT. and the curse ofthe dying weighs Like lead on the foeman's blade.

Like spirits in their airy shrouds,
Seeking their homes on high;'
How oft, in childhood hour Pvo bent

Their changing shape, and varying tint,
Portending droughts or storms;
And wept, could not take my flight
Up to those regions fair,
To bask amidst the golden light
Reflected Swsaslys'h'ro,
But, far above the Clouds, and skies,
feel there is home, -.
TO which at last my soul will rise,
When God shall ibid it come.
Oh! -four eyes could pierce the blue,

Castor Oh for Lamps.-A discovery
which bids fair to become of considera-
BILE importance to the agricultural com
munity, and especially to the western
country, has recently been made by Mr..
Isaac Smith, of EastviIle, Northampton
county, Virginia, by which he is able to
render castor oil fully equal to the best
winter sperm for lamps. we have tri-
ed the prepared oil, with a sample of
which we were politely furnished by
his son, +. II. Smith of this city, the
inventor of the excellent instrument of
music called the harmonicon or musical
glasses. We trimmed double wick lamp
with the oil, and it was left burning five
hours and half without being touched,
during which time it afforded a large and
highly luminous flame, perfectly free
from smoke or the least degree of often
SlYe smell. The tubes and wick were
entirely free from crust till within the last
half hour. The wick was raised con-
slderably higher than we ever were able
to raise it in burning the best sperm thus
a1lordlng much larger flame and vet
the consumption of oil did not appear to
be greater than usual in burning sperm.
The preparation of the oil reduced the
prlce about ninc per cent, so that allow
ing the price Of castor oil to be % cents,
the cost of the prepared oil will be Sc
cents per gallon. As Mr.. S. intends to
take out patent for his improvement,
we are not at liberty to give the particu-
lars of the discovery. We have given
the address of Mr.. Smith above, that
persons wishing further information may
be able to obtain i: from him direct.

We last week visited Mr.. DHomer-
cues Filature, in Pine street, and wit
messed the operation of reeling silk from
the cocoons. The cocoons arc placed
IN large copper kettle filed with water.
under which is fire to keep it constant
ly hot.-The heat soaks the cocoons and
loosensthe ends, six or eight of which
are placed through a reel, and the whole
are rapidly wound off. Six females are
now employed in Keeling, but they are
able to reel only twelve ounces dav.-
The fllature is calculated fornearly twice
the number of hands, but scarcity of
cocoons has materially lessened the bu-
slneSs. From the present prospects there
will be abundance for the future. The
SILK when reeled is worth about seven
dollars a pound, sometimes eight.
