A MOTHERS GRIEF.

To mark the suffcrings of the babe
That cannot speak its woe
To see the infant tears gust forth,
Yet know not why they flow
To meet the meek npllfte1 eye,
That fam would ask relief,
Yet can but tell of Agony
This a mothers grief,
Through dreary days and darker nights
To trace The mark Of death
To hear the faint and frequent sigh,
The quick and si,orten'd breath
To watch the last dread strife draw near,
And pray that struggle brief,
Though all IL ended with it's close.-
This is a mothers grief.
To see in one short hour decay'd
The hope Of future years;
To feel bow vain a fathers prayers,
How vain a mothers tears
To think the cold grave must now close
Der Whit was once the chief
Ofall the treasured joys on earth,-
This Is a mothers grief.
Yet, when the first wild tbrob lie past,
OF anguish and despair
To lift The eye of faith TO heaven,
And think, tiny child is there +"
This best can dry The gushing tears,-
This yield the heart relief;
Until the Christians pions hope
OcFcomes a mothers grief.

MoFFAT's LIFE MEDICINES.
GENERAL

bNaL "hh ~
These medicines are indebted for their
name 10 their manifest and sensible action in
purifying the springs and channels Of life, and
enduing them with renewed tone and vlgor,
and to the undoubted fact that at a very early
period in their history they had rescued suf-
ferers from the very verge of an untirnely
grave, after all the deceptive nostrnms Of the
day, prescribed by physicians, had utterly
failed, in which cases they also permanently
secured that uniform enjoyment of health,
without which life itself is but a partial
blessing. 49,.

CAmELs ON THE WEs1Era pRArRrEs-A
writer IN the New Genesee Farmer, a native
Of Russia, who has passed many years Of he
lie IL that portion Of The Empire bordering en-
the UraI and VoIga rivers, suggests that the
camel would prove a most valuable aainal fer
burden in those ~prairies, and especially for
lraversing The county in the far vest, where
water is sosnetinss not found for days. He
says that camels, in the unsettled country,
would be found good to carry mails and con-
vey intelligence. Their speed is great, 100
miles being a common days travel for speedy
ANIMALS, and that the breeding sf camsls wsulA
not be more expensive than hsrses. They
may be obtained en- the Black Sea, and tho
writer suggests if the agricultural societies
would import a few pairs, they would csnfsr
a great advantage on this country. From 900
10 ,OOO pounds, with a rider, 10 a csfnrnsn
load for the camel /; and the comssnest hsr-
bage, even weeds and twigs, will suffice fer
their sns'"nance while enduring their sever

Mr.. Colman. the editor OF the Farmer, 10
disposed to think the foregoing statements
worthy Of consideration. lie says:
