WOMAN--A SONG.--By Ba'Ty Cor1cGH Re gentle with woman, our heart of hearts, Who ioveth us even while life departs! tF. Oh call her not ickle, nor false, nor van! Oh, toGch not so tender heart with pam! What! woman, the treasure, the gem, the tiowerf The star that is hrghtin the widest hour The bird that comes singing to sterner breast F Al should we not teach 1t to love it's nest2 Come on let us vow that they all are lair; Let's shout of their virtues in earth and aIr! Let's sooihe them, and guard them, and so repay The love that slIey lend in our darker day Oh, value their gifts beyond gifts of gold, All you of the slerner and coarser mould And learn that their love, amidst toil and strife, Is the spirit that cAlmeth and crowneth life!

WONl0ns-AS the QeW lIeS, lOHSeSt dHo produces most fertility in the shade. SC woman in the shade of domestic retirement sheds around her path richer and more per- manent blessings than man, who IS more exposed to the glare and observation of pub liclife. Thus the humble and retired of- ten do more valuable benefits to society than the noisy and bustling satellites of earth, whose very light of unconcealed en- joyment deteriorates and parches up the moral soil it flows over.
 Idlemess.-Standing waters are apt to putrify-weapons laid up and disused con- tract rnst-nay, the very air, ii not aglta- ted by the wind, becomes unhealthy and presidential. Thus ideness destroys the faculties of men, and industry promotes the health and happiness of his mental and moral powers.
 Modesty.-Beauty is never so lovely and attractive as when ii is hidden beneath the veil of retiring modesty. The most beau- tiful flower ofthe garden, that most attracts and charms the senses, never appears so lovely ss when it is beheld sweetly peep ing from the midst of it's curtain of green leaves, which serve to partially protect it from the sun and elements, and render its charms doubly interesting and beautiful.
 Genius and 1alents.-G without talents is the pure, inexhaustible, and liv- ing spring, which is ever bubbling uP and pouring forth its wealth of waters in spark ling rivulets, which run among seques,ered deserts and unexplored wilds, and which seldom contribute to the benefit of man.-( Talents without genius are like those same waters, uniting into dark lake, whose stagnated surface scarcely permits the beau- ties of nature to be reflected upon it's be- som. But genius combined with talents, is like that insignificant rivulet which rises from the mighty mountain, and becomes the source of the Ganges, the Mississippi, or the Hudson, which enrich. enliven, and support numerous villages and cities situa- ted on their banks.-N. Y. Star.
 Blistering s0ithout pain.-An lrishman whose wife had been suffering under some pectoral complaint, called lately for medi- cal advice on surgeon in Girvan, who or dered a blister to be put upon her chest. The poor Hibernian. like many of his countrymen. interpreted the direction he got quite literally, although certainly not in the right way, for on going home, he searched his whole cabin for q chest; but finding, as he afterwards informed the sur geon, nothing so like one as a bit of a trunk where Kate kapes her muches,' he actually clapped the blister tothe lid ofthe tr1nk; and his wife, by good luck, getting immediately better of her complaint, he declared in perfect belief of the efficacy oi the application, that it had cured her com plateiv - EnO P60er
