THEE TEERUsH's zyEsT,
BY J. CLARE.

Within a thick and spreading hawthorn bush, |, That overhung molehill large and round heard from morn to morn a merry thrush Sing hymns to sunrise, and l drank the
 sound With joy; and, often an intruding guest, I watched her secret tolls from day to day. How true she warped the moss to form nest, And modelled 1t within with wood and clay; And by and by, like heath-bells gilt with dew, There lay her shining eggs, us bright as
 flowers,
 ink-spotted over shells of greehy blue;
 And there witnessed, in the sunny hours, \ brood of natures minstreis chifp and aay, aay Glad as that sunshine and the laughing sky.

LAYs OF TxzE HEBREWS.
BY I. F. FAULKNER.

BY I. F. FAULKNER. The dark-hared maids of .Judah's race, Bright as the starry -mantled sky, With naughty mien and witching grace, And stately step, pass by; Those Eden forms, with lustrous eye, Cleaning from lattice and from bower, Might tempt an angels gaze:--ah! why Is beauty like flower! Who like our daughters wake the shell Of Judah to our altar strains! Or fling o'er life it's mystic spell,
 Rich as the sun-touched plains Win from the fount of life, ere wanes Days crimson banner from the sky. Yet cold Destruction's finger stains The charms that fiower-like die! The flowers that gem green Carnel's hill, The roses of sweet Sharon's vale, Luxuriept bloom, and perish--still
 We mourn not when they fail: We mourn that virgin fires grow pale, That lustre drops from loVe's bright eye; Ay, for our dark-haired maids we vail,
 Who iiower-iike droop and die! Pulseless to music's thrilling charms! Gloom be around the brow of day! Homage and glory fill the arms
 Of livid=lpped decay! While weep we Judah's daughters sway, Whose splendid beauty's witching hour Dies-as the moaning of lay,
 That beauty's but flower.

oHILD's FIRST IMPRESSION OF 4 STAR.
 Bg tte sGHte.

She had been told that God made all the stars That twinkledup in heaven, and now she stood Watching the coming of tie twilight on, As if it were a new and perfect world, And this were it's first eve. She stood alone By the low window, with the silken lash Other soft eye upraised, and her sweet mouth Half parted with the new and strange delight Of beauty that she could not comprehend, And had not seen before. The purple folds Of the low sunset clouds, and the blue sky That looked so still and delicate above, FilPd her young heart with gladness, and the
 eve
 Stole on with it's deep shadows, and she still Stood looking at the westwith that half-smile, As if a pleasant thought were at her heart. Presently, in the edge of the last tint Of sunset, where the blue was melted in To the faint golden mellowness, a star Stood suddenly. A laugh of wild delight Burst from her lips, and putting up her hands, Her simple thought burst forth exprsssively- ''Father, dear father, God has made a star!'

 MOTHER THROUGH THE WOOD

ON THE PICTURE OF A GIRL LEADING HER BLIND
 MOTHER THROUGH THE WOOD.
 By ". P. H'ittis.
 The green leaves as we pass Lay their light fingers on thee unaware, And by thy side the hazels cluster fair,
 And the low forest grass Grows green and silken where the wood-paths wind-~
 Alas! for thee, sweet mother! thou art blind!
 And nature is all bright; And the faint gray and crimson of the dawn, Like folded curtains from the day are drawn;
 And evenings purple light Quivers in tremuleus softness on thy sky Alas! sweet mother! for thy clouded eye!
 The moons new silver shell Trembles above thee, and the stars float up, In the blue air, and the rich tulips cup
 Is penciled passing well, And the swift birds on glorious pinions fec Alas! sweet mother! but tthou canst not see!
 And the kind looks of friends Perase the sad expressions in thy face, And the child stops amid his bounding race,
 And the tall stripling bends Low to thine ear with duty unforgot-- Alas! sweet mother that thou seest them not!
 But thou canst hear! and love May rirhly OH human tone be pour'd, And the least cadence of a whispef'd q word
 A daughters love may prove And while speak thou khowest if smile, Albeit thou canst not sec my face the while!
 Yes, thou caaat hear! end He Who on thy sightless eye its darkness hung, To the attentive ear, like harps, hath strung
 Heaven and earth and sea; And 'tis lesson in our hearts to know, THttt 6at one seHse the soul may o0eIJ1oic.

LYNcu's Law lNrRoyrD.--In some of the pla-

is inflicted by the llagcaton ON the body of the

method OF punishment; instead of SHINING him
they 6orcr him, which it is believed will have bet
ter effect than the ancient mode Within the last
two weeks We have had three examples of this
wholesome application. The first of these was the
ninllpart OF u man, alias tailor, who was caught

PALM LEAF HATS.

The braidng of these hats is an important and
increasing business, which has sprung up within ten
years past, and which is doubly valuable in con-
sidcration OF It's moral influence, nasmuch as il of
tcrs recommending domestic employment for thou
sands oil our industrious country women. Few
aware OF the extent to whichihe manufacture is ca-
red on IN the country towns. In Ashby, in MIDI
dlesex county, according To the Ycoman's Gazette
$4,000 hats are braided annually, for which the
braidcrs more than half of whom are girls and
small boys) receive between six and seven thou.
sand dollars This is not high compensation for
the amount Of labor bestowed but the ADVANTAGE
Is that this labor may be bestowed at odd times,
and by those who might otherwise remain them
ploycd In Pctcrsham and Barre, in Worcester
county, great numbers have been made We have
been told that single commission house in New
York, sold hats made in that county in one year, 70
the amount of ninety thousand dollars. The Sou
thcrn market was for great while the principal
outlet the sales have luctuatcd considerably. and
the prices have been gradually coming down. Re-
Gently, large quantities were shipped 10 France
and sold readily and with profit, al one quarter o..
the rate at which the English had been in the habit
OF selling article not as handsome, THOUGH ID
Their more substantial. The French Government.
have somewhat checked the trade, by imposiuo a
duty OF one franc (about twenty ccnts) on the finer
kinds OF these hats-thc consequence is, that tn
common ones are now principally sought for cx-
port.
In this county the business has been prosecuted
to some extent. A dealer in this town, who com
mcnccd a few weeks since has already hundred
and fifty braidcrs employed In Shelburne and in
other towns we believe that considerable number
are made. FronhHn (Hass.) Ncrcwg
