MOBILIZATION OR BUDDING.

A bud may be considered an embryo
plant, of the same species as the parent
tree, possessing distinctly developed parts.
and individual vitality, and of course when
removed to congcnal place. capable of
continued growth and a reproduction of lis
species. In this transferrance OF the bud
from one place OF growth to another, it Is
necessary that the plant into which the
transfer is made, should be Of the same
genus of plants, and even the same species
will usually be found most congenial. All
the varieties Of the apple and pear may be
budded togclher and the apricot, necta
rne, and peach may be treated IN the same
manner. The plum and the peach are
sometimes budded on each other; but the
cherries are usually confined to stocks Of
the same kind OF tree,
The time Of budding is partly depending
on he tree itself and partly on the vlgor Of
It's circulation, July and August are the
usual months for budding, but he cherry
frequently succeeds in June, and the necta
rne, &c. as late as September. The
greater part of the failures that occur in
budding arise from it's being attempted at
an improper time, when the bark does not
separate freely, or when the new wood for
the year is so far formed that new unions
are no, readily made. A sure indication of
the tree being IN q suitable state for bud.

Ny aunt my dear unmarried aunt!
Long years have DER her flown;
Yet she strains the aching clasp
Tina, binds her virgin zone
know it hurts her-lhough she looks
As cheerful as she can
Her wais, is broaIer than her lie,
For life is but span.
NV aunt my poor dclnded aunt
Her hair is almost grey,
WHY will she train hal winter curl
In such a spring ike way?
How can she lay her glasses down,
And say she reads as well,
When through double convex lens,
She just makes out TO spell
Her raher-Grand papa forgive
THIS erring lip its smiles
Vowed she would make the finest girl
Within y hundred miles.
He sent her TO stylish school;
Twas IN her thirteenth June
And with her, as the rules required,
"'wo towels and spoon"
They braccd my aunt against board,
To make her straight and tall {;
They laced her up, they starved her down,
To make her light and small.
They pinched her feet, they singed her hair,
They screwed it up with pins
O never mortal suffered more
In penance for her sins.
So when my precious aunt was done,
Nv grandsre brought her back,
Bv daS- light. lest some rapid youth
Might follow on the track.
All said my grandsire as he shook
Some powder in his pan,
What could Ibis lovely creature do
Against ii desperate man!
Alas nor chariot, nor barouche,
Nor bandit cavacade
Tore from the trembling fathers arms
HIS all accomplished maid.
For her how happy had it been!
And Heaven had spared TO me
To see one sad, unga'hered rose
On my ancestral Tree.

TIE DEATH OF KEELDAR.

lie was, upon two occasions, singular
unfortunate: once when an arrow. who
he had discharged at deer, killed his Gel,
brared dog Keeldar; and again when, bt
ing on o huOtng party. he was betraye
into the bands of clan called Crossar,
whom he was murdered. Mr.. Cooper
Painting ofthe first of these incidents su
gesred the following stanzas:-
Up rose The sun DER moor and mead;
Up with the sun rose Percy Rede;
Brave Keeldar, from his couples freed,
Caree'd along the lea;
The pafiey sprung with sprightly bound,
As if match the gamesome hound
His horn the gallant Hunlsman wound
They were IA jovaI three
Man, hound, or horse, of higher fame,
TO wake the wild deer never came,
Since AIpwick's Earl pursued the game
On CheVIol's rueiul day:
Keeidar was matches in his speed,
Than Tarras meier was stauncher sliced,
A peerless archer Percy Rede:
And right dear friends were they.
The chase engross'd their Joys and woes,
Together ~ the dawn ihev rose,
Together shared the Moons repose,
BY fountain or by stream;
And off, when evening skies we're red,
The heather was their common bed,
Where each, as wdering fancy led.
Still haunted in his dream.
Now is the thrilling moment near
OF sylvan hope and sylvan fear.
Yon lhicket holds the harbour'd deer,
The signs he hunters know =
With eyes Of flame, and qui,ering ears,
The brake sagaclOus Keedar nears:
The restless pairey paws and rears;
The archer strings his bow.
Tine games aloot !-IIaIloo Haloo A!
Hunter, and horse, and hound pursue
But woe the shaft that erring flew
That e'er it left the string
And i'll belide the Gnhless yew!
The Stag bounds scalheless DER The dew,
And gallant Keeldar's life blood true
Has drench'd the grey.goose wing
The noble hound he dies, he dies,
Death, death has glazed his fixed eyes,
Stiff on the bloody heath he lies,
Without moan or culver.
Now may day break aud bugle sound,
And whoop and hollow ring around,
And Ger his couch the stag may bound,
But Keeldar sleeps for ever.
Dilaled noslrils, staring eyes,
Marx The poor pallrey's mute surprise,
lie knows not that his comrade dies,
Nor what is death but still
Ills aspect hath expression dear
Oigrie(, and wonder, mix'd with fear,
Like startled children when they hear
Some mystic tale of i'll.
But he that bent the fatal bow,
Can well the sum Of evil know,
And DER his fayore bending low,
In speeches grief recline
Can think he hears the senseless clay
In unremoachfu accents say,
"The hand that took my life away,
Dear Master, was it thine
Sand il it be, The shaft be bless'd,
Which sure some errng aim ADDRESSED,
Since in your service, priz'd, caress'd,
in your service die;
And YOU may have a feeler hound,
To match the dun deer's merry bound,
But by YOUR couch will ne'er be found
So true IA guard as l."

EXTRACTS FROM LACON,

The inexhaustabe resources OF Great
Britain were always an nexpIcabIe mys.
terry to Napoleon. and he was taught their
reality only by their effects; there was a
period. when to the defence of the noblest
cause, England brought the highest vaour,
while oil that were oppressed, drew at
sight, on her treasure and on her blood.
1t would have been glorious if she had
evlnccd a magnnnlml,y that calculated not
on return; # she had continued to sow
benefits. although she might reap ineratl.
tude. Alas she found 1t more easy TO
conquer others, than herself. Her safety
requires not the compromise Of her honor
tor although her prosperity will draw envy,
her power may despIse 1t she is beset with
difficulties. but 1t Is her own fault # thew
become dangers; and although she NAV
suffer somewhat # compared with her for.
mer self she is still gigantic If compared
with others. She may command peace,
since she has not reinqusheG the slnews
of war; a paradox to all other nations, she
will say TO America, territory is not power;
to India, population is not force and to
Spain, money is not wealth.
Princes rule the people, and their own
passions rule Princes but Providence can
over rule the whole, and draw the instru-
ments of his lnscrulabe purposes from the
vices, no less than the virtues Of Kings
Thus, the Reformation, which was planted
by the lust of Henry the Eighth of Eng
land, was preserved by the ambition of
Philip the Second of Spain Queen Marv
would have sacrificed Elizabeth to the full
establishing of the Catholic faith: if she
had not been prevented by Philip the
Second her husband, who foresaw, ~ the
death Of Elizabeth, the succession o Mary
Stewart, then married to Francis the
Second, and IN that succession, he antci.
paied the certain union of Great Britain
and France; an event that would have
dispersed TO the winds his own ambitious
dream OF universal monarchy. The conse.
quence was, the life of Elizabeth was pre-.
served and the protestant cause prevailed.
The great estate of a dull book maker is
biography; but we should read the lives of
great men, if written by themselves, for
two reasons; TO find out what others really
were, aud what they themselves would
appear TO be.

From he Laui.sianiaa. :.

T. From the LQulsiania-ts- - :" y.
The Lrish..-It is most true that during the late
excitement, we did espouse the part of the Irish
portion of our fellow citizens, because we know
large majority Of them are firm democrats-6e-
cause we thought they had been unjustly assa-
ed-and because we number many of them among
our personal friends. As to the charge which has
been made that we intended 10 turn the excitement
to political account, it is certainly well founded.
We cndeavored to convince the Irish, whose
training and feelings strongly incline them towards
democracy, that the iederalisls, as a party, arc
radically, and from the nature Of things, hostile
to them; and to impress upon their minds that
the aspersions Of Mr.. Peyton are mere repeti-
tion of what has been uttered thousand times by
the federal presses. In this way we wished TO
turn the excitement TO political acconnf-thatis, is,
by showing them the inconsistency of ad!erin G.
to party, by whose orators and presses lthey
are hahi,uaIly reviled. After this, should any
portion of the Irish still be found in the federal
ranks. we can only regret it-This is a free coun-
try. where every man may entertain whatever
opinion pleases him best.

ADDRESS OF THE NATIVE AM. ASSOCIATION

It appears that this Association, following in
the footsteps of the one in this city, has publish
ad its annual address The papers speak highly
of it as patriotic appeal to the country, and as
pointing out in simple All convincing terms the
great evils which the vast increase Of foreign pop
ulalion is causing to our country i'll every sense.
We ourselves have heretofore been accused OF be-
ing premature in our earrs-that the evils we an
ticipatel were many years in the bosom OF tutu
rty; but now, alas. the convincing proofs have
come upon us that we and all the American peo-
ple have been too tardy--that the enemy are at
our Threshold and that in all probability we shall,
if MT vigorous in our doings and unanimous in
our efforts, have to submit to the potency of num-
hers. 49,,
The conduct of the Irish lately in New Orleans,
in their attempt to bring Mr.. Bailie Pey'on TO the
bar of their Milesian condemnation for words
truthfully spoken against the evil influence OF that
neon,e among us. has opened the eyes OF the
.,,mher;no Natives, and now hundreds have vo-
UNFAIRLY focked to that undivided American cause
have thrown themselves into the Society OF the
Native brotherhood, who before looked upon their
fears and th.i, efforts as helusve dreams which
