The following is an extract Of an April
poem from the pen Of Willis:
"Take ofmy violets. found them where
The liquid south stole FER them, on bank
That leaned TO running water. There s to me
A daintiness about these early flowers
That touches me like poetry. They blow
With such simple loveliness, among
The common herds Of pasture, and breathe
Out their lives so unobtrusively, like hearts
Whose beatings are too gentle for the world.
Hove TO go in the capricious days
OfApril, aud hunt violets, when the rain
Is in the blue cnps trembling, and they nod
So gracefully to the kisses of the wind.
Iii may be deemed too idle, but the young
Read nature ike the manuscript Of Heaven
Il And call the flowers its poetry"

THE AWAKENING.


Thou'st walked me from a pleasant dream,
And with single word hast sliIPd,
Ofhappy thoughts, the fairest stream.
That e'er through boyish fancy thril'd
/ Idream-alas! sleep-no more,
But with phrenzied memory
Still destined idly to deplore,.
iturn in hopeless PAIN TO thee.
J turn to thee. but turn in vain.
Thou hearst me noi-thou can'st not hear,
Nor heed, the darling hope again,
Though idle, yet to me how dear;
All! could'st thou but one hour restore,
That hour would make me more than free,
And yet, though destined to deplore.
And curse the past, curse not thee.

NV NATIVE ROME.

We find the following beautiful! and sprltet
apostrophe to the South in the - American
Museum" written by Alexander Is. Meek
Esq. of TuscaoosasAlabama.
Land of the South Imperial land!
How proud thy mountains rise,
How fair thy scenes on every hand;
How fair thy covered skies
But not for ths-oh, not for thee,
Hove thy fields TO roani.-
Thou hast dearer spell to me,
Thou art my native home!
Thy rivers roll their liquid wealth,
Uuequalled to The seas
Thy hills and valleys bloom with health,
And green with verdure he;
But not Tor thy proud oceans streams,
Nor for thine azure dome
Sweet sunny South II cling to thee
Thou art my native home!
I've stood beneath Italia's cline,
Beloved Of tale and song
On Helvyn's hills, proud and sublime,
Where Natures wonders Thong;
BY Tcmpe's classic sunlight streams,
Where Gods, of old, did roam
But ne'er found so fair land
AS thou my native home!
And thou hast prouder glories loo,
Than Nature ever gave
Peace sheds o'er thee, hel genial dew,
And freedoms pinions wave
Fair science filings her pearls around,
Religion lifts her dome.
These, these epdear thee to my heart,
My own; loved native home
And "heaven's best gift 10 man. is thine.
God bless thy rosy girls!
Like sylvan flowers they sweetly shine
Their hearts as pune pearls:
And grace and goodness circle them,
Where'er thy footsteps roam,
How can then, whilst loving them,
Not love my native home!
Land of the South-imperial land!
Then here's health 10 thee
Long as thy mountain barrier stand,
Maysl thou be blessed and free!
May dark dissention's banner ne'er
Wave DER thy fertile loan-
But should it come here's one will die
& To save his native home.-

Dutch Butter.-The Dutch Butler is

prepared:
Alter having MIXED their cows, the
Dutch leave thir milk to get cold before

therein, they do not permit il to stand for

hours. They then stir it together more

and continue thus 10 do at least two or
three times day. If it be agiiated in
this manner, as occasionally happeus, till
the whole be quite thick, the butter thus
obtained is the mere highly esteemed. As
soon as it requires the usual consistency, il
is churned commonly about an hour. tIlI

mode, not only far more butter is obtained
from the same quantity of milk, than in

ton of the pyrolignite Of iron, (the liquid
selected by The inventor after seven years
of experiment,) and in short time the
whole tree was penetrated with the solu.
ton. The position Of the Tree, whether
horizontal or vertical, is Of no consequence
as 10 its absorbing power; and the inven.
tor, moreover, found that it was not ne.
cessary to cut the tree down, but that, by
boring holes in the tree, and forming a
trough around these, The absorption i'm
mediately took place. Some singular facts
were also developed in his experiments.
He found that all kinds of trees refused
entirely to take up any vegetable solution,
while neutral metallic solutions were alb
sorbed with avidiiy. He found, also, that
branches of Trees. as soon as cut, begin TO
absorb the air. and by simple contrivance,
ascerrained that fresher cut branch will
absorb five times its own volume of air.
Among the results Of this process are, FIRST
that the wood is preserved from decay
and the attacks from insects; that wood
may be prevented from shrinking; that it
is rendered almost incombuslible; and that
it may be, with great facility, dyed 10 the
very heart in perfect manner. A most
singular experiment was made, in which
dyeing was effected with the wood itself.
A magnificent blue wood was produced,
by causing tree 10 absorb successively
