bury, of Mirfield, aud measures seven yards by
six, without a seam; II is made in the same
manner as the celebrated carpets made at
Tourney, in France, entirely by needle work; it
is OF very great thickness, and has surface like
velvet The groundwork is deep purple: and
a magnificent pattern. composed of the most
beautiful flowers, in COLOURS at once brilliant and
delicate. is worked upon it. We have never
seen so tasteful or splendid a manufacture of the
kind; the price Of the carpet is eighty guineas,
and 1t is already sold. Mr. Hanbury is likely to
raise the Yorkshire carpet manufacture togreat
emlnence; we learn that these carpets, though
vielng with the French in beauty and durability,
can be afforded for less than half the price.

! HINTS ON DIET.-The means of pre-
scrring health are more plain and simple,
shan those ofrestoring it.
Quacks and clf-doctors often 'Hpour
drugs" Of which they know little, into
bodies of which they know less.
Great eaters never live long. A vo-
racious appetite is sign of disease, or
of strong tendency to disease, and not OF
health as is generally supposed Hach-
cock.
A large number, perhaps majority, of
the standard works Of English literature,
were composed by men whose circum-
stances compelled them to adopt very
spare diet, and probably this is one cause
of their superiority ID.
There is nothing more ridiculous, than
to see tender, hysterical, and va porish
people, complaining, and yet pcrpetually
cramming, crying out they are ready to
sink into the ground, and faint away, and
yet gobJling down the richest and stron-
gest food, and highest cordials, to op-
press, s. overlay them quite. DR.. Cheyne.
More nourshment and strength are i'm

than by 16 imperfectly concocted.

A FROZEN LOVER.

The Lynn Mirror tells a good story of
a court'ng expedition. The following is
the conclusion Of it and contains the es-
sence Of the Joke:
One hour and three quarters brought
MIR Watson to the door Of the Mason
Mansion, in Swampscot aforesaid. All
was still within and no light could be
seen. He gave a loud rap with his rid
ing whip, not however dismounting which
being unheeded, he gave another still
louder. AT length night capped head
protrudcd from basement window; he
called, pronounced his name, and grufI
female voice which he at once recognis-
ed as that of maiden lady Of some forty
years answered, bidding him "begono

sert of life, where the plants and shrubs
remind us of other days, and convey us

Joy. 1t is the anniversary OF childhood;
for il brings back TO us the freshness oi
our youthful feelings; and hard indeed
must be that heart, which does not soften
under its influence. Recollections OF
beloved friends who once contributed to
our cnjoyment-now, alas! far distant, or
in the mansions of the dead--the memo

sister-will be wildly recalled by the
associations of the day; and we censure
not the tear that, perhaps, may fall over
their graves. Still, however, there is SO
much 20 delight, so many dear friends
who remain to us, collected by the occa-
sion around the social board, that our
hearts cannot but expand with the warmth
of affection, and glow with the conscious
ness Of happiness.
Pity it is that our puritan forefalhers
should have discontinued the ancient
customs which our countryman Irving has
so happily described as existing in Brace
bridge Hall. Had it not been for their
overwecning hatred to every remnant
shred of popery, "Dame Mince-Pie"
and her compeers might still have figured
in all their primitive glory.-Still might
the Christmas carol have aroused us from
our slumbers, and the quaint observanccs

TIE CIlILD'S WINTER THOUGHTS.
Bu L. IL .Sioo,l,nen.


Winter hath hid my howers--I cannot find
"A single violet where so many grew;
And all my garden beds, so nicely fringed
With verdant box, are covered thick with snow.
lie has not left one lingering pink TO please
My little sister. Why, It's very hard
For winter so to come and take away
What was my own, and had toiIed to keep
IIeathful and free from weeds.
They say he rocks
The wearied flowers TO sleep, some good nurse
Compes the infant TO resign its sports,
And take its needlul s!umbers. Well ! thought
My roses all looked sleepy---and | know
When one is tired how very sweet it is
To shut the eyeds close, and know no more
Until the Weakening OF mothers kiss.
Winter seems stern, and hath an angry voice;
hope he will no, harm my tender buds,
That just had put their trembling leaflets forth,
Ard looked so frightened.
But know who rules
Harsh Winter, and spreads out the spotess snow,
Like soft curtain, over every hefb
And shrinking plant, that it may rest secure,
And undisturbed. He shields the oneliest shrub
That strikes its rough root at the mountains base,
With the same gentle and protecting love
As the moss rose. Yea, lie doth care for ALL
The lily and the aspen, and the moss
That clothes the ancient wall, and hath no friend
To watch it, and no fragrance 70 repay.
Thou gav'st my weary aow'rs; grant them to wake
AT Springs first call and their beauteor. heads
Reioicng-as my baby brother springs
From his swee: cradle sleep, with tiny arms
Outstretched, and eyes like my own yiolcts bright

NIAGARA, u. c., 2lst Dec.
About ten or twelve years ago, read
in the Spectator q think an account of a
murder committed at Waterford, Ireland,
by man Of the name ofJamcs Fitz Ger
aid, who beat out his wilc's brains with
his shoe hammer, and not cnccting his
purpose soon enough, cut her throat with
a shoe knife, and then dashed the brains
Of his infant child out in the cellar against
the wall. He, however, effected his es-
cape, and came to America, and about
four years ago came here, and as an inn
keeper nearly all that time, has resided
here. About three weeks ago, man
and his wife came here and were recon-
mended to 60 to Fitz Gerald's to stop for
the night, and the moment the woman
cast her eyes upon him, she recognized
him as the man whose wife and child she
had walked, and washed, and prepared for
the lonely dwelling Of the grave. He is
in gaol, and will be sent home in the
spring to expiate his crime.

the machine cast letter, has fully tested
and established its superiority in every
particular, over that cast by the old pro-
