THE EARLY DEAD.

They 60, a fresh and beautiful band
To the sunny sky OF the Esprit land;'
To the music soft of an angel choir,
They hymn their joy golden Tyre; -
Gladly, al gladly, they soar away,
As bird rncaged or child al play.
They 90 while the rainbow Of hope is fair,
Its arch unbro' EN- by sin or care
While the rosy tint of their lle's young glow,
Is as bright as sunbeam on beds of snows
Aud they pass as gently, as softly on,
As the snow flake me ing till all are gone.
They 60 while untouched by the opening blast
Which whitening time on the old hath cast
While fancy pantoth the amethyst hue
With the diamond gttering and blending through
As the nightly host in their mildcst beam,
Or tn imprisoned trust of the lovers dream.
They 20 when the tcndris of love entwine
ROM the heart, untouched by the wintry wind;
While the spring hath nonght NJ early bloom
For its lovely one of despair or sNhAn
While oach bany urn on the Towering strand
Sends forth rich doors through all the land
They go ere the lattice on which they chung
Of its iaires and dearest hath lost not one;
Till lost TO the bark is its guide and say
Tossing about on thetrackless way;
They 20 while are mirrored their cherished forms
Which the stream of youth on its bosom warns
They go-and why should they lnger here,
OUTLYING al gifts that are sweet and dear,
Till the crystal drop Of the morning flies,
And LIES fair stream at the fountain drcs1
Ah mourn FIR the things that 10 earth are wed,
Eut not, all mourn not the early dead.

New Mcention.-A German is now in
Liverpool, endeavoring to induce the mer-
chants and shipowners of that enterprising
town TO patronise an invention which, if sue
cessful, would be likely to supersede the
steam-engine. 1t is thus described in all
extract Of letter with which friend has
favored us :-"This machine can be en-
ployed instead of the am-enuine - ant,
fuel of any kind li.d "nnout boiler; it
neeas very little repairs, and can be worked
without danger; any power can be employ
ed, from l to 1000 horse, or more; it may
be made of brass or iron, and the power of
the machine exists within itself, and does
not diminish, but remains always the same.
1t may be employed on railroads, in ships,
and manufactures, with the same effect as
the steam-engine, and does not create any
noise. and does not require more attendance
than the steam-engine, and the first cost no
more than lalf,and may be made with or with
out wheels. 1t may also be remarked, that
as no fuel of any kind need be employed, it
would be well adapted for vessels making
long voyages" Cork Constitution.

Curious Plant.-A very extraordinary
and interesting natural curiosity has lately
arrived at Windsor Castle, where it has been
placed upon a large pedestal in the grand
veslibule, (leading to the Waterloo Cham
ber,) to which the public are admitted. It
was, we believe, sent as "a present to the
sovereign of this country from China, and
evinces, in a peculiar manner, the perseve-
rance and ingenuity of the Chinese, who, du-
ring the progress of the growth of plants, have
discovered the means of so Transforming or
training their roots as to make them assume
the shape of various animals. The object
referred to is supposed by some to be the
root of the large Chinese dog-rOsc, and by
others to be the root of the vine. 1t is about
three feet in length, and of proportionate
height, and bears close and extraordinary
resemblance to the shape of lion, having
the legs and feet, head, tail and body, with
its shaggy name most rudely perfect. By
what means the Chinese acquire this mode
of expanding and shaping the roots is still a
mystery, although many ingenious inquiries
and researches have been made on the SUBJ
ject. This, however, does not appear so ex-
traordinary as the power some of the Chi
nese possess of dwarfing plants, for it is
known they will produce an oak, not more
than five or six inches in height, bearing
acorns; and the same with respect to Or
ange and lemon trees, Of the same dwarfisl
character, also bearing fruit. Some speci-
mems of these trees have occasionally been
brought TO this country, but none have lived
for any length of time.-Court Journal.

The Brahmin did so: but no sooner did

animalcula. The puzzled Hindoo drew out
the pomegranate, (Which perhaps, my rea-
ders are not aware is more closely filled will,
insects than any other fruit, looked at it, ex-
amined it, replaced it, and again beheld the
myriads of living creatures with which it was
rife. He felt it with his hand, to convince
himself that there was no trick in the affair.
Then suddenly drawing Iimselfup, he slowly
uttered, "Bus such Ill.," (enough-it is true.)
You acknowledge then that you have

Clarke paused for moment, for he had
that morning paid ten guineas for it; and be.
ing poor man, he could i'll afford to part
with it. But as the Indian was urgent, al
most to entreaty, he at length consented les
pecially as he thought the other would afford
him in return some curiosity of equal value)
and presented it to him.
The Brahmin took it, gave one look of
triumph round the hall, and suddenly raised
his arm, dashed it into thousand atoms on
the marble floor.
'What do you mean by tllis?' exclaimed
Clarke in undsguised establishment.

KNOWLEDGE.

Benlley's Miscellany, for September, con.
tains, among other things, the following
"reminiscences of an English missionary nam
ed Clarke, who went out to convert the ma
tives of India to Christianity, but failing in
his efforts, returned in despair to Calcutta.
We give the rest of the anecdote in the wr-
ter's own words -
One day our missionary learned, to his
great joy, that Brahmin of the first rank
had arrived in the metropolis. Determined
to bring matters to an issue, Clarke wrote to
him, and begged him to meet him on a GER
tain day, when he undertook to convince
him 1.-THE Hindoo priest) of the errors of his
faith. To this the Brahmn consented, and
at the time appointed, the heather and
Christian champion met to discuss, in pres
ence ofseveral witnesses, the merits of their
respective creeds.
As is usual in polemical discussions, the
controversy was opened by several inconse-
quenlial queries and answers. For half an
hour neither party had put forth a starting
proposition: the willy Indian taking care to
coniine himself to the defensive. Tired at
length by this scene, Clarke suddenly and
abruptly asked him,
Are you forbidden to eat anything in
which animal life exsts!'

Have you never broken through this awl'

no other reward, the power it gives us, TO
benefit and relieve others, is enough to make
US ever active
In one month from the time Ellen's lettcr
was received, she, with her children, was in
mates of Moreland's cottage. Gradually the
light returned to her eye, and something of
the former glow of health and contentment
10 her cheek. Her children in few weeks
were as gay and happy as any. The de-
light that glowed in the heart of William
Moreland, as he saw this pleasing change,
was double reward for the little he had sac
rlficed in making them happy. Nor did e.
len feel, with her children, an entire burden
upon her sister and husband her activity
and willingness found enough to do that need
ed doing, and Jane often used to say to her
husband,
Il don't know which is the gamer over the
other, me or Ellen; for | am sure, can't
see how we could do without her.
