Farewell! my more than father land
House of my heart and friends adieu!
Lingering beside some foreign strand,
How oft shall l remember you
How often DER the waters blue,
Send back sigh to those leave,
The loving and beloved few,
Who grieve for me,-for whom grieve.
We part--no matter how we part,
There are some thoughts, we utter not,
Deep measured in our Utmost heart,
Never revealed, and ne'er forgot!
Why murmur at the common lot (?

But when shall I, each lovely spot,
And each loved face, behold again3

1t maybe not--I will not fill
Fond hearts with gloom, fond eyes with
tears,
"Curious to shape uncertain ILL.,"
Though humble,-few and far,--yet still
Those hearts and eyes are ever dear;
Theirs is the love no time can chill,
The truth no change can scar
All have seen and all see,
<o,,y vnuuars cnruI more ana more
Friends cool--hopes fade--& hours flee,
Affection lives when all is o'er
Farewell my more than native shore!
I do not seek or hope to find,
Roam where will, what deplore
To leave with them and thee behind!

Instance of Sagacity in a Dog
He informed me that friend OF his,
an officer in the 44th regiment, who
had occasion when in Paris, to pass
one of the bridges across the Seine, had
his boots, which had been previously
well polished, drtied by poodle dog
rubbing against them. He in conse'
quence went to a man who was stations
ed on the bridge, and had them cleaned.
The same circumstance having occur
red more than once, his curiosity was
excited, and he watched the dog. He
saw him roll himself in the mud of the
river, and then watch for person
with polished boots, against which he
contrived to rub himself. Finding
that the shoe-black was the owner OF
the dog, he taxed him with the ar.ifce
and after little hesitation, he con-
fessed that he had taught the dog the
trick, in order to procure customers
for himself. The officer being much
struck with the dogs sagacity, purchas.
ed him at a high price, and brought
him to England. He kept him tied
up in London some time, and then re-
leased him. The dog remained with
him day or two, & then made his es-
cape. A fortnight afterwards he was
found with his former master, pursuing
his old trade of dirtying gentlenan's
boots on the bridge.
Ingenuity of bees. A large brown
slug made its way into glass hive,
where the Operations OF the bees could
be distinctly seen. Having killed the
slug, and finding that they were unable
TO get it out Of the hive, they covered it
over with the thick resinous substance
called propolis, and thus prevented
its becoming nuisance TO the colony,
Into the same hive one the common
brown-shelled snails also gained ad-
mittance. Instead of embedding it ia
propois, the bees coniented themselves
with fixing il to the bottom Of the hive,
by plas,ering the edge with that sub
stance. l have now in my possession
regular fertilization made of propo.
lis, which one of my stocks of bees pla-
ced at the entrance of their hive, to en-
able them the better to protect them
selves from the attacks of wasps. BY
means of this fertilization few bees
could effectually guard the entrance by
lessning the space Of admission, which
had neglected to do for them.
