ABSENCE.
Earth owns no smiles in absence of the sun,
Dark nouns the night when chambcrd in her

The sweet flowers wi,hcr when Soils spring is
run;
Nor fairies dance but in chas,e Luna sheen
Nothing but mouns from that il loves apart;
The lone bird SORROWS from its severd mate
And pines and wihers ths fond human heart,
When those it worshipped leave il desolaie.
Thus in earth, night, flower, bird, creation lord
The sweetest, deares, bond, is sympathy;
Which serverd, snaps the close-entwining chord
That all things binds in some fond unity
Life-killing Absence, meath thy curse pine,
Affections Upas trec--ihat name be thine!
Age is the winter season Of mans life,
The last dim nickering of the taper S ray
'Ts the last act that closes earthly strife;
The latest character tha, he may play.
Yet here i the learn and slippe.'d pantaloon,
With revrcnd hair, white as the drined snow,
We lnadly mock our iae--pay the buioon,
And sclfdecciving to the dark grave go.
The withered leaf clings latest to the tree,
Hope vanly builds itself on dark despair;
The shipwreckd mariner Bullets the sea;
Ard yainIy strives for life, though death be
there.
So age, with palsied hand, TO life doth cling
Most fondiy as from age life ,aketh wing.

Destruction Of Salt on Turks islond.-
A letter dated Turks Island, Salt Key,
Aug. says, "One of the most awful and
destructive hurricanes that was ever expe-
rienced at this Key, occurred on the 3d in
stnnt, (the wind blowing from the N. j..
and S. T.. for about six hsurs,) which swept
away three fourihs of The salt that was upon
the Island, besides destroying almost all our
boats, a number Of houses, and much other
property. The effects of this hurricane
upon the inhabitants cannot be got over for
the next five years. Salt has since risen to
fifteen cents and probably will not be less,
as there is so small quantity on hand, and
1t is not likely that any more will be raked
this year. There is remaining not over one
hundred and twenty Thousand bushels. ]
must now counternand all orders hitherto
given for the disposal of it. AT Grand Key
they have not suffered so much, but the
loss there is one half the stock. Salt Key
has lost about three hundred and fifty thou
sand bushels it is complete ruin"

POETRY
WOMAN.

By the author Of " Clinton BrandshaW.
How beautiful is woman's life,
When first her supplisnt woos and kneels
And she, with young and warm hopes rife,
Believes he deeply feels
Then day is gladness-and the night
Looks on her with its starry eyes,
As though it gave her all her might,
Oven mems destinies,
Rapt watchers of the skyey CLEAN!
Then men are like asrologers,
Who gaze, and gladden. at the beam
Ofihai bright eye Of hers
And il a frown obscure its light,
'ris like cloud to star-ssruck men;
Through the long watches of the night
Oh! for tha, beam again
How heart struck that astronomer.
A gazer on the starry zone,
When first he looked in vain for her,
The lovely Pleiad gone
But men watch not the stars always
And though the Pleiad may be lost,
Yet still there are a thousand rays
From the surrounding host
And woman, long before the grave
Closes above her dreamless rest
MAY be mans empress and his slave,
And his discarded jest
Sill may that Pleiad shine afar,
But pleasure led Ger summer seas,
who dwells upon single star,
Among the Pleiadcs!
Man courts the consultations bright!
That beam upon his bounding bark,
Nor thinks upon the lost lone light,
Till all ;boYe ls dark
Then when be knows nor land nor main,
And darkly in his frail bark tost,
lie courts the separate star again,
And mourns the peiad lost

Propagating apple Trees.--A new plan
for increasing plantations of apple trees has
lately been carried into extensive practice,
by horiiculturists in Bohemia. Neither seed
nor grating is required. The process is,
to take shoots from the cI,ocests sorts, i'll
sert them in potato, and plunge both into
the ground, leaving but an inch or two of
the shoot above the surface. The potato
nourlshcs The shoot, while it pushes out the
roots and the shoot gradually grows up,
aud becomes a beautiful tree, bearing the
bes, fruit, without requiring to be grated.
Whatever may be the success of the under
taking, its novelty, N least, is an induce
mcut to give it II fair trial.
