now rises in pillar of fire, sign and
wonder of the world, shall wax dim. the

to shed its uncloldod rays upon

The tyrant in his dreams of power, and
ro1ses the sIumbering energies of an op-

Interesting Experiment The following
method OF obtaining natural flowers in the
winter, any day you please, we copy from
an Old scientific work;
"Choose some of the most perfect buds
ofthe flowers you would preserve, such as
the latestn in blowing, and ready to open,
cnt them off with pair OF scissors, eav
ing to each, if possible, a piece of the
stem about three inches long; cover the
end of the stem Immediately with Span
ish wax, and when the buds are a little
shrank and wrinkIed. wrap each of them
up separately in piece of paper perfect
ly Clean and dry, and lock them up in a
dry box or drawer, and they will keep
without corrupting. In winter, or any
other time, when you would have the flow.
ers bow, take the buds over night and
cut off the end Of the stem sealed with
Spanish wax, and put the buds into water
Wherein ittle nitre or salt has been IN
fused, and the next day you will have the
pleasure of seeing the buds open and ex-
pand themselves, and the flowers display
their most lively colors, and breathe their
agreeable odors"

THE WEALTHY AB5ENTEES FROM IRE
On Erin's sainted isle what hand shall dare
To rear the flag Of freedom high in air
Or light again on altarstones the blaze
That shed deep lustre on her better daysl
What master mind shall rend the chains apart
Whose iron links arc chill upon her heartl
Who from the rampant lion shall reclaim
The fields still voceful with high deeds OF
famel
Not those who1e vampire appetites deplete
Their father land, now PROSTATE at their feet;
The absentees from earth and hallowed
shrnes,
Dissolving Erin's pearls in Tuscan wnos--
Base renegadcs. who blush to own the soil
Which greedy tyranny has made their spoil
Not thcy! the outctsts Of insuli led home,
Bearing the brand Of Cain where'er they
roam;
Grey, pampered minions, parasites abroad,
Alike abhorrcd by nature and its God
Consumers OF the bread the laborers need,
Who starye, that glutted rcvclry may feed;
The thunder.bolt of wrath would scorn to
crush
Such moral traitors in its fiery rush!
Live they--blood- ,bloateb, overgrown,
Till lazy infamy shall claim its own!
The blessed earth where serpents dare not
spawn
Lends not turf to pile their graves upon.

The airs of Erin! Flowers of poetry
Oh, they are sad, yet touched with lnrthful
glee,--
lhe dances of the heart, "a ffection', flow,

Then light and merry as the winged feet
or those whose pulses to wild music beat
Wandering sp'rit-tones by stray winds borne,
TO soothe the pangs of feeling wrecked and

Or, trumpet-tongued, to cleave the vauted

And fill expanse with laundering melody.

THE GIRL OF CADlz.

Oh never talk again to me
Ofnorthern clmes and British ladies';
1t has not been your lot to see,
Like me, the lovely girl of Cadiz.
Although her eye be not Of blue,
Nor fair her locks, like English lasses,
How fair its own expressive hue
The languid azure eye surpasses.
Prometheus-lke, from Heaven she stole
The fire, that through those silken lashes
In darkest glances seems to roll,
From eyes that cannot hide their flashes:
And as along her bosom steal
In lenthen'd flow her raven tresses
You'd swear each clustering lock could feel,
And curld to give her neck caresses
III.
Our English maids are long to WOO,
And frigid even in possession;
And iftheir charms be fair to view,
Their lips are slow at Loves confcsson
But born beneath brighter sun,
For love ordain'd the Spanish maid is,
And who-when fondly, fairly won
Enchants you like the Girl of Cadiz2
".
The Spanish maid is no coquette,
Nor joys to see lover trcnblc,
And if she love, or if she hate,
Alike she knows not to dissemble.
Her heart can ne'er be bought or sold
Howe er it beats, it beats sincerely,
And, though it will not bend to gold,
Twill love you long and love you dearly.
v.
The Spanish girl that meets your love,
Ne'er tannts you with mock denial,
For every thought is hent to provo
Her passion in the hour OF trial
When thronging foeman menace Spain,
She dares the deed and shares the sanger;
And should her lover press the plain,
She hurls the spear, her loves avenger.
And when beneath the evening star,
She mingles in the gay Bolcro,
Or sings to her attuncd guitar
OF Christian knight or Moorish hero,
Or counts her beads with fairy hand
Ben cath the twnkling rays of yesper,
Or join deyotions choral band
To chaunt thesw and holow'd vesper.
VII.
In each her charms the heart must move
Of all who venture to bcholdhcr,
Then let not maids less fair reprove
Because her bosom is not colder:
Through many cline it's mine to roam,
Where many soft and melting maid s,
Sut none abroad, and few at home,
May match the dark-eyed Girl of Cadiz

will give you over his heart, to draw
him to the sense and practice of that

QUACKS AND THEIR DESTRUC-

THE united testimony Of Physicians. throughout

Peiers's Vegetable Pills are the only true Vegetable
Pills. which will stand the test Of Andhzafson-
hence the proprietor would most earnestly urge them
TO the notice of those who have been in the hsbit Of
using as Cafharfics or Aperienfs. The destructive and
i~rratating Quack Pills, SO generally advertised, and
which are nj best but slow customers OF the vital
functions aud murder0us agents, even TO the mos'
hale. II is true, most Of them produce . pursative
effect, and sometimes transient relief, but IN most
cases they injure the digestive organs, and ON habit
ual resort TO them must terminate in confirmed dys'
pepsia.
1t is true, that Cathortic and Aperient Medicines
are often required, but the incest
should always be observed in the selection, ana
ifthis be done nothing injurious can result from Their
use.
To produce this much desired result, DR. Peters
has made it his study for several years, and feels
proud to say he has at length succeeded, far beyond
his expectations. The object Of his Pills are TO su'
