PARLIAMENTARY REL ORTING.

About the same time, the dcpntc, which
was about English labourcrs, being one
evening unusually dull, Jack E'innarty, who
had but short time before been imported
from Tippcrary, said to the only other cpor-
ter in the gallery at the time, that he left
very drowsy, and that he would be after
taking little bit of nap, if he would tell
him, when he awoke, anything which might
take place. The other agreed; and Jack,
in moment, was fast locked in the arms of
Morpheus. An hour elapsed, and after half
a-dozcn yawns Jack opened his eyes.

question to his friend.

"About the virtue of the Irish potatoe, Jack. "

"The Irish potatoc; and a most eloquent
speech it was"

"Och, it's myself, that's ready at any

nr. last, The following report, as the result
ofits investigations:
The Academy bas charged Messrs.
Arago, de Mirbel, Poncelet. Ganlbey, Au-
doin, Baussaingault and myself, with the
examination of the Memoir of Mons. Bou-
cheric, relative to lhe preservation ofwood,
the following is the result of our labors
"The Academy has already examined,
with the most lively interest, the prepara-
lions Of the author; and has before it, al
this moment, pieces Of these so remarka-
Bile that the task Of its commission is there
by greatly abridged. Mons. Boucherie
proposes TO render wood much more dura-
ble, 10 preserve its elasticity, TO prevent
the variations in volume which it cxpe-
rienccs through the agencies Of dry aud
humid atmospberes, 10 diminish its COM
bustibeness, to augment its tcnaciy and
its hardness; and, finally, 10 communicate
to it various and durable coors and odors.
"To assume that all these exigencies
have been satisfied, and that this has been
accomplished by methods, cheap, simple
and new and consummated through the
agency of substances that are common.
and which bear but low price, is 10 fix
the attention of the Academy, in few
words, upon The important features Of the
subject we are charged to examine.
"For the purpose Of penetrating an en-
tire tree with preservatvc, coloring, or 9TH
er matter, the author has recourse TO no
mechanical, costly or complicated means !;
he finds all The force of which he has need,
in that process, within The tree ilself,-thc
same force by which its own sap is eevat-
ed and distributed through its various parts.
This alone, suffices TO convey from the
base of the trunk to the very leaves, all The
iiouids which he wishes 10 introduce, pro-
yided that these are maintained within cer-
tain limits Of chymical concentration. If
tree be felled, while in full sap and leat,
and The base of the trunk by at once pluug-
ed in vat or reservoir containing the III
ouid which ii is desired the timber shall
imbibe, that liquid. in the space of a few
days, will ascend TO the very leaves, and
penetrate every part of the vegetable It's
sue, except the heart Of the tree, which, in
some instances of great age and hardness,
or imperfect vitality, resists the absorption,
and is not penetrated.
"It is not entirely necessary that the tree
shall retain all its branches and leaves dur
ing this process, although it is important
that those of the extreme top should re-
main uniplured.
"It is not important that the tree shall
remain standing duringIthe operation, which
would not always be convenient: it may
be feled, and its butt submerged in the IL
quid it is destined to absorb, when this wl
find its way to every part.
"On the other hand, the tree may b.
treated standing, if this be preferred: for i
is only necessary that cavities be cut nea
the bottom, or the trunk be partially sever
ed by saw, and that the parts thus Prepar
ed be pu, in contact with the liquid, to en-
sure the desired result.

THE FARMERS ODE.

Let Commerce spread her flowing sails,
And Trade her gainful path pursue;
Without the Farmer what avails,
Or what without him can they Go !
Let learned Divine and Lawyers boast,
Let Physic follow in their train,
The Farmers skill is valued most.
In making golden sheaves of grain,
Let Statesmen rack their brains with care
Some mighty project TO fulfil
The Farmers wiser projects are
His focks to feed, his ground to till.
His prisons at early dawn,
To the Almighty power he makes,
Then treads the dew bespangled lawn,
Orpleasure in light labor takes.
He hears the robins early song,
And ruder notes of cheerful swain,
While heedful Of his crops, along
He travels o'er his own domains.
A stranger he's 10 frellul care,
No busy schemes perplex his life,
Conten,ed with his homely fare,
His children and prudent wife.
He labors to Improve his soil,
While Ceres shews her regard,
And blesses all his careful toll, =
In fruitful crops for his reward.
No prodigal nor careless waste,
On his domain is ever found;
With open hand he yet will haste,
To help :he poor till they abound.
And now his earthly labor's past,
And old in virtue he has grown,
TO crown his well spent life at last,
Kind heaven shall claim him for its ow

Disease in Six Worms.-Mr. Gideon B:
Smith, the intelligent aud ardent advocate
Of The culture of silk in this country, has
addressed a letter 10 the Editors ofthe Ma
tional Inte4igcncer, in which he states that
by an examination Of some plates in
French Journal he has just received, re-
presenting the different stages Of the dis
ease, called Muscadine, in silk worms, he
is satisfied that it is the Identical disease
which destroyed great part of the silk
worms in :his country last summer. By
the ravages in Europe, taking one year
with another, the average loss of worms
has been from for,y-fve to fifty per cent
per annum. He announces remedy and
preventive for the disease, which is fortu-
nate at this season, just before the prepaf-
ations for the ensuing crop, as we'll as i'm
portaut in the incipiency Of the culture
with US. The remedy is the free applica-
ton of air slaked lime to The worms, and
also to the floors Of the cocoonery, and
whitewashng all The wood work of the FIX
lures. 1.-THE lime should be sifled through
a fine sieve on the ,cOrmS two or three times
week, if healthy, and once day if dis
eased, in the morning before the first feed
ing, and after cleaning the hurdles. The
quantity OF lime TO be sified on the worms
may be just sufficient 10 whiten the worms
and leaves we'll; aud it should be COM
menced when the worms are half grown
say twelve or fifteen days old. This RENE.
dy has, during the past Two years, enabled
those persons in France who used it to-
save and obtain cocoons from ninety seven
per cent of all the worms hatched.-Rich-
