THE WIsHING-GATE.

In the vale of Grasmere, by the side OF TIT
highway leading to Ambleside, is gate which
time out of mind, has been called the Wishing
Gate, from a belief that wishes formed or in
dulged there, have favorable issue.
Hope rules lard for ever green;
All powers that serve the bright-eyed Queen,
Are confident and gay;
Clouds at her bidding disappeari
Points she to aught ?-the bliss draws neay.-
And Fancy srnoOths the way.
Not such the land OF wishes-ihere
Dwell fruitess day-dreams, lawless prayer,
And thoughts with things at strife,
Yet how forlorn, should ye depart,
Ye superstitions ofthe heart,
How poor were human life!
When magic lore abjured its might,
Ye did not forfeit one dear right,
One tender claim abate;
Witness this symbol Of your sway,
Surviving near the public way.
The rustic Wishing-Gate
inquire not if the fairy race
Shed kindly influence on the place.
Ere nor,hward they retired;
Ifhere warrior left spell,
Painting for glory as he fell;
Or here saint expired.
Enough that all around is fair,
Composed with natures finest carc'
And in her fondest love;
Peace 10 emboson and content,
To overawe the turbulent,
The selfish to reprove.
Yea! even the stranger from alar,
Reclining on this moss-grown bar,
Unknowing and unknown,
The infection ofihe ground partakcs,
Longing for his belov'd-wlio makes
All happiness her own.
Then why should conscious Spirits fear
The mystic strings that are here
The ancient faith disclaim2
The local Genius ne'er bciriends
Desires, whose course in folly ends,
Whose Just reward is shame.
Smile ifthou wilt, but not in scorn,
IF some. by ccaseless pains outworn'
Here crave an easier lot;
IF some have thirsted to renew
A broken VOW, or bind true,
With frmcr, lolier knot.
And not in vain, when tioug hts are cast
Upon the irrevocable past,
Some 2enitent sincere
Nav for a wor,hier future sigh,
Willie trickles liom his downcast eye
No unavailing tear.
The Wording, pining 10 bc freed
From turmoil, who would turn or speed
The current of his fate,
Might step before his favored scene,
At Natures call, nor blush to lean
Upon the Wishing g-Gatc.
The Sage, who feels how blind, how weak
Is man, though 10th such help to seek,
Yet, passing here, might pause,
And yearn for insight TO allay
Alisgiving, while the crimson day
In quic'ucss wi'idraws.
Or when the church-cocks kncll profound
To Times first step across the bound
Ofmidnight makes reply;
Time pressing on with starry crest,
'To fhal sleep upon the breast,
Or dread eternity WORDSWORTH

Farmers, Mechanics, and Working Men,
generally, are the bono and sinew of do
mocracy. They seldom ask Offices; but
they are always keen sighted in penetras-
ing the difference between the true heart

Ney Producfs.-There are doubtless
sections of the American continent, in The
suil and climate OF which all the fruits and
vegetables of the different continents Of
Europe would flourish and reach matnrl-
ty. Many excellent foreign and tropical
plants have been already naturalized with
in the boundaries of the United States,
and VIC are pleased to sec that efforts are
making TO introduce and cultivate others.
Experiment has shown that several of The
most valuable productions of The West In
dies grow readily in some sections OF The
FIoriflas; and we think there can be M
doubt that The choicest fruits Of France
would, in several ofthc American States
so flourish as richly TO reward The enter
prise and means necessary 10 their INTRO
duciiou.
1t is stated that an eminent horIicul'd-
ris, in New York has recently gone IdTse-
ly into the culture ofLanguedoc Almond,
the best variety of this fruit raised IN
Franco. "Ele has raised in the vicinity oil
New York city, this year, 10000 OF these
trees, many Of which are five feet high,
having made most luxuriant growth
He is confident the trees will prove per.
rectlv hardy, and on The third season will
Weld fruit abuntlanlly."
In Texas, an en'erprising horllculturlst
has a nursery of olive trees, which, we
have seen il stated are growing finely
This is among the most valuable ofall the
vegetable productions fthe earth. The
tree begins to bear when i, is three years
old, and continues TO produce largely 10 a
very great age, improving lis fruit every
season for many years after its first yield.

that the seed Of the date, rs purchased al
