often encountered in the solitary depths Of
our forests, on bushes and trees, chiefly the

prepared to our hand. they have been passed
by UNDECIDED. Mr.. ID. hopes to domesticate
this worm, and direct their habits to the pur
poses of useful industry. One of the great
advantages resulting from this would be the
very superior quality of the silk ,oorm gut, so
much used by amateur fishermen, aud which
this worm furnishes 80 per cent. heavier and
stronger than those hitherto in use. This

And stir your solid pegs,

And shake your spider legs

And take another turn.

To keep the vulgar out,
We've nothing in the world to do,
But just TO walk about.

And try to beat the ends
It's pleasant work to ramble round
Among ones honest friends.

And twcak that lubber's ear
Hes lost them both don't pull his hair,
Because he wears a scratch
But poke him in the further eye,

Oh. memory, cast spell
Around my childhood home 10 speak OF me,
Jn-c,ibe my name every hill and dell,
Ga every flower and tree
Upon the zePhyr's breath,
Oh waGt tho thought, radiant and sweet and clear
Bot link il not with sorrow, pain and death,

Let tho stfoam's murmuring sound
Whisper Of me, and twilisht's lonely bird.
Recall my spirit, ill it haunt the ground,
Where once my voice was heard.
Bid The white rose bring back
NV image, pure, and spiritual, and meek,
And every flower that decks the sunbeam track
Brightly my memory speak.
To the dark wavy grass,
The morning dew drop, and the clouds Of oven,
The lights and shades which DER the green sward
pass.
A voice Of me be given.
And those who wander there,
Ny friends so loped, oh let them not forget;
Bright in their hearts may they my image wear
And deep my memory set.
Vain dreamer years will sweep,
In silent desolation FER thy grave,
And earth no record ofthy memory keep,
No lingering vestge save.
Then heav inward raise thine eye,
And seek Thy name in Gods own book to trace,
Then shall il live when earth and sea, and sky,
Shall have no further place.

The Restraining Law.-That the law re-
gulatng the rate Of interest and prohibiting
the establishing of offices of deposlte, and
discount, is decidedly unpopular with large
majority of our citizens, must be evident to
all who have felt any interest in its repeal.
No good argument has been ADVANCED
nrobablv none can be--for retaining in our
statute book law which, so far as it relates
to the price at which money shall be loaned
is dead letter, and which, in all its features
is daily becoming more and more obnoxious
to public sentiment. The suggestions o.
the governor on this subject are worthy Of
consideration, and should hayo their due
weight on the minds of legislation but care
should be taken, that, while every thing de-
cidedly Objectionable in the law is rePealeo
no clause may be so construed as TO per
NIT the issuing Of notes or bills oy irres

The Canadians appear to be alive to the
vast advantages of internal improvement.
In addition to the Weland canal so honora-
BILE to the North American provinces and
the mother country, there is in progress a
survey of route from Toronto on Lake
Ontario directly across the country to Lake
Huron, thus shortening the distance some
hundreds of miles and throwing Lake Erie
entirely out ofthe line Of direct communica-
ton. Lake Superiour and all Ouisconsin,
to say nothing Of Upper Mississippi and
Missouri with its fur trade, are thus made
tributary TO the St. Lawrence. To coun-
teract the effect of this improvement upon
several of our western States, it will be
necessary to open by direct communications
every facility between the southern end OF
Lake Michigan and the Mississippi, Illinois
and Wabash rivers on the one side, and the
western end of Lake Erie On the other.--

"THY NAME"

1t comes to me when healths 60 round,
And DER the wine their garlands wreathing
The flowers of wit with music wound,
Are freshly from the goblet breathing;
From sparkling song and sally gay
II comes to steal my heart away,
And fill my soul, mid festal glee,
With sad, sweet, silent thoughts Of thee.
II comes to mo upon the mart
Where care in jostling crowds is rife
Where Avarice goads the sordid heart.
Or cold Ambition prompt to strife:
II comes to whisper if I'm there,
IT'S but with thee each prize to share;
For Fame were not success to me,
Nor riches wealth, unshared with thee.
1t comest 10 me when smiles are bright
On gentle lips that murmur round me,
And kinding chances flash delight
In eyes whose spell would once have bound
II comes-but comes to bring alone me
Remembrance of some look or tone,
Doarer than aught hear or see,
Because twas worn or breathed by thee.
1t comes to me where clustered boughs
Their shadows cast upon the sod.
Awhile in Natures fame my vows
Are lifted from her face to God;
It comes to tell that all Of worth
dream in heaven or know on earth,
However bright or dear it be,
Is blended with my thought Of thee.

DR.. BucklandS diScoreries.-Dr auckland,
at recent meeting of the Warwickshire
Society of Natural History and Archaeology,
stated that he had discovered at Guys Cliff
the remains of an extinct species of animal
never before found or mentioned. He bad
ten years before, obtained some specimens
from GUYS Cliff, which he said "he had
stored among his difficulties, in hope that
some ray of light might dissipate the dark
ness that enshrouded them. Within the
last two hours" he said, "that darkness had
been dispelled, and he was able to say that
at Guys Cliff, he had discovered an extinct
species of animal never before found,
and that those portions of rock which were
upon the table before him were from quar-
nv, the name of which had never been utter.
ed in England. Another discovery which
he had made was, that the town of Leaning
ton rested on the remains of animals which
had existed in other times; and this fact was
not hastily acquired, but was founded on
strict logical deductions. II was, indeed
true that under the foundation of houses a
bennington (where there had been previ
ouslv one immense lake) there were to b
found the remains of elephants, hippopota
muses., hyenas, tigers, buffaloes, and
string Of twenty other animals which n
