THE WANDERER.
by D. C. coLEswoRTHy.

Return, once more, return,
Thou youthful wandcrer;
The path of happiness discern,
No longer vice prefer.
Come, and thou shalt be blest-
The pas, shall be forgot
The warm out gushings of the heart,
o spurn-O spurn them not.
Return and joy will spring
With gladness in the heart:
What if thou hast been wandering
From all thy friends apart
Who will reproach thee now 7
Who thy past life recall2
will not the sunshine on thy brow,
Make us forget it all ?
Return, we love thee yet
Here thou hast still place,
Where, warmly greeted, thou'lt forget
Thy sorrow and disgrace.
The smile Of love will cheer,
The falling tear restore,
For thou art unto us most dear
o, do not wander more,
We know thou can'.t not stay
We read it on thy cheek;
Though vice still beckons thee away,
Thou'lt hear thy conscience speak.
Thou wilt to us return
AGAIN rejoice at home
And love will in the bosom burn,
To see the wanderer come.
Here by our side how sweet
Will all the moments roll,
Where pleasant friends will come TO greet
The lost but ransomed soul,
And in the prayer unite
In thanks to him who led
The wanderer to the path of light
Restored him from the dead.

REMEMBER THE WnEEL.-Let our rich
men remember that their own offspring may
sometimes be poor. History tells us of the
ancient conqueror, who, having harnessed
several kings TO his triumphal chariot, noticed
one of them frequently look back, and mar
rowly watching the wheel. The conqueror
asked him why he did so. "Iwas thinking"
said he, show quick the top of that wheel
would come down into the dust, and the part
now down would DO on the top" The con-
queror embarrassed HIM. Rich men remem-
Der the wheel.

THE VOICE OF NATURE.

THE visible works of God speak TO us
with IA commanding cloquencc. The sun,
the fountain of life and heart of the world,
that BRIGHT leader of the armies of heaven,
enlhroncd in glorious majesty; the moon
shining with lustre borrowed from its beams
the stars glil'ering by night in the clear fir
mamcnts; the air giving breath to all things
that live and move the interchange Of light
and darkness; the course of the year, and
the sweet viciss,ude of seasons the rain
and the dew descending from above, and the
fruilfulness of the earth caused by them; the
bow hent--by the hands of the Most High
which compasseth the heaven above with
glorious circle the awful voice of thunder,
and the piercing power of lightning; the
great and wide sea, with its innumerable in
lnbitanls all these instruct us in the mys-
teries of faith and the duties of morality.

THE INFANT IN HEAVEN.

DR.. Chalmers furnishes the following
touching expression of his opinion on
the subject of infant salvation. 1t is
expressed in strong and beautiful Ian
guage:
This affords, we think, something
more than a dubious glimpse into the
question, that is often put by dis
tracted mother when her babe is taken
away from her, when all the converse
it ever had with the world amounted
to the gaze upon it few months, or 4
few opening smiles, which marked the
dawn of felt enjoyment, and ere it had
reached the lisp of infancy, it all un-
conscious of death, had to wrestle
through period of sickness with its
power, at length to be overcome by
it.
I Oh, it little knew what an interest
it lad created IN that home where it
was a passing visitant, nor when car
RED to its early grave what a tide of
emotions it would raise among the few
acquaintance it left behind it! On it,
too, baptism was impressed as seal,
and as sign it was never falsifed.-
There was no positive unbelief in its
bosom-no love at all for the darkness
rather than the light--nor had it yet
fallen into that condemnation which
will attach itself to all that perish, be-
cause Of unbelief, that their deeds are
evil. ie i5s
When we couple with this known dis
position of our great foferunner--the
love that he manifested to children on
earth, how he suffered them to approach
his person, and lavishing endearments
and kindness upon them in jerusalem,
told the disciples that the presence
and the company of such as these in
heaven formed ono ingredient of the
Joy that was set before hini-tell us.if
christianity does not throw pleasing

radiance around an infants tomb And
should any parent who hears us, feel
softened by the touching remembrance
of light that twinkled a few short
months under this roof and at the end
of its little period expired; we cannot
think we venture too far when we say
that he has only 10 persevere in the
faith and in the following of the gospel,
and that very light will again shine
upon him in heaven.
The bossom which withered here
upon its stalk, has been transpanted
there to a place Of endurance; and it
will then gladden. the eye which now
weeps out the agony of an affection
that has been sorely wounded; and in
the name of Him who if on earth
would have wept with them, do we bid
all believers present, to sorrow not
even as others which have no hope,
but to take comfort in the thought of
that country where there is no sorrow
and no separation.
"Oh when mother meets on high,
The babe she lost in infancy,
Hath she not then for pains and fear
The days of woe, the watchful night
For all her sorrow, allher fear
An over payment of delight"

TO KEEP BUTTER SWEET AND
FRESH FOR YEARS.

Among the mass OF lnf0rmatlOn lur-
nished by the report of the commits.
sioner of Patents. which is highly in.
terestlng to farmers, is an account of a
process hitherto secret, by which
butter may he kept for years, fresh and
sweet in any climate. Most kinds OF
wood contain considerable quantities
of pyroligeneous acid, which decom-
poses salt in butter Kept in such tubs.
The linden, or bass wood, is the only
one which, it appears by careful expe-
riment, is free from it; others, it is sta
ted, may be freed from it, and thus rem
dered suitable, by boiling three or four
hours, we'll pressed under water. Good
butter is to be we'll churned, andwork-
ed and packed hard and tight in kegs
of seasoned white oak: the head is then
put in, leaving small hole into which
the brine is poured to fill the vacant
space; and of so much Importance is it
deemed to prevent any bad taste, that
the plugs for the holes must not be made
Of ceder or pine, but of cypress or
bass wood as otherwise it would be in
iured. After which, these kegs are
placed in a hogshead, well filed with
brine Of full solution, that will bear an
egg which is then headed up tight and
close. This is the mode pursued in Or
ange county N. Y, and the butter will
keep at sea and in warm climates, and
commands a very high price. The APP
pendix to the report cantains a letter
addressed to Mr.. Ellsworth, by G.
Fox, ESQ.,, a merchant of Hartford,
Conn.,, corroborating the above.

THE AGRICULTURLST.
WHEAT FOR OUR CROPS.
The following, says Mr.. Ellsworth

The following, says Mr.. Ellsworth,
are considered by competent authority
upon the subject, as suitable character
istics to be taken into consideration in
selecting wheat for our crop.
"1st. The general hardness of the
plant, and capability to resist the Hes
sian fly, or throwing out by frost and
winter-kiIling, rust and mildew.
"2nd. A good strong upright stalk,
with just enough straw for the object,
ami no more.
"3rd. No beard is desrable;a head
filed and heavy, and retaining the grain
as long after it is fit to cut as possible.
"4th. A predisposition to tiler well.
"5th. A plump full berry, capable
of yielding large quantity of white
flour, with large proportion of gluten
and as little bran as possible"
The number of-varieties of wheat is
very great. Colonel LIE Contour, of
the island of Jersey, had, it is said, in
his possession $50 varieties, produced
by himself and others, and some of the
new ones have been greatly superior to
the old ones.
COMMON CHARCOAL.
1t is stated by DR.. Lee, in an agri-
cultural address delivered IN Western
New York, that common charcoal is the
cheapest and therefore the best, mate
rial to apply to cultivated fields for fix
ing and appropriating to the use of
plants the large quantities OF ammonia
which descend in rain and snow. 1t
will absorb 30 times its bulk of ammo
MIA and will give it out slowly to the
vital attraction ofthe roots OF plants.
The application Of this well known
substance to the wheat fields in France
has mainly, in connexion with the use
of lime, added within the last ten years,
1Oo,0Oo,OOO bushels to the annual crop
of wheat grown in the kingdom. The
charcoal should be sown down in May,
at the rate offs bushels per acre, well
pulverized. 1t would, undoubtedly be
equally useful to other kinds of grain.
There are many places where other
manures are not easily obtained; but
where charcoal is cheap, farmers SO
situated would find it greatly to their
interest to resort to its use.

Ere had met thee, Lady, life thoughtless crowd

The Tyre waken now to thee, was voiceless and

I've unused on all the deeds Of those who've won
% deatbless name,
Where starry banners Haunted gay, Ger the Grim

Yet have turned from knightly deeds, and dreams
= of wild romance, a.@
To seek more inspiring theme, beneath thy magic

And yet sing not of thy brow, that shames the

Nor'evcn of thy guileless heart, that never care

But, o. as have gazed on thee, in pleasures gid

OFT times dark, mad ming doubt, hath searched

While phantom shapes of wild despair have on my

And from the glare Of fashions throng, I've turned
away and wept
In anguish those alone may know who've moisten-

The grave ofjoys of other days-the shrine of bu-

Ere Friendship was deemed an empty name, or love

Or happiness her Psyche-like wings had bathed in

Nor vet that loveliness dwes in thy starry eyes of
