The seasons, revolving their annual round,
once more bring in those melancholy days,
denOminated by the poet ''the saddest of
the year." They are so; and the enquiry
naturally arises, why is III what occasions

cause may readily be traced to sympathiz

Tie Poor MANS Grave.
nv ELIZA COOK.

~ ELIZA COOK.
No sable pail, no waving plume,
No thousand torch lights to illume
No parting glance, no heavy tear,
IL seen to fall upon the bier.
There is not one Of kindred clay
To watch the coffin on its way:
No mortal form, no human breast,
Cares where the paupers bones may rest.
But one deep mourner follows there,
Whose grief outives the funeral prayer:
He does not sigh, he does not weep,
But will not leave the sodless heap.
IT'S he who was the poor mans mate,
And made him more content with fate
The mOngrei dog that shared his crust
Il all that stands beside his dust.
He bends his listening head as though
He thought to hear a voice below:
He pines to miss that voice so kind,
And wonders why he's left behind.
The sun goes down, the night is come,
He needs no food-he seeks no home;
But stretched upon the dreamless bed,
With doleful bowls calls back the dead.
The passing gaze may coldly dwell
On all that polished marbles tell,
For temples built on churchyard earth
Are claimed by riches more than worth.
But who would mark with undimmed eyes
The mourning dog that starves and dies!
Such love and faith to guard his grave?

Flowers by tlle VVaysfde.

A long low murmur assembled upward,
borne upon the wings of the morning zephyr.
Like The soft breathings of the Eolian Tyre,
it sweled on the still air, and died away in
the distance. II was the BIuebelI's lament
for her owly lot.
"Oh, Why" she murmured, "am placed

sad and rt.sick, a strain Of thrilling mel.
Ody, like the far.of music Of many waters,
fell on his troubled ear. It was the glad
anthem Of praise and thanksgiving that
arose from the modest Violet and her gentle

SUBSOILING FOR CARROTS


A few days since we were at the House of In
dustry Farm at South Boston, under the excellent
management of Capt. Daniel Chandler, and there
we observed u novel mode of preparing land for
carrots. 1t is dry ridge which was SUBSIDIZED for
carrots last year, and produced an enormous crop,
excepting strip not SUBSIDIZED left for experiment,
where the crop was not more than half SO large as
they suffered greatly with the drought, while those
on the SUBSIDIZED part were green and fourishing.
The rows were planted last year about two feet
apart, across the burrows.
This season the land was well MANFRED, and then
subsolled by running the subso plough once only
between where the rows were last year. After
this operation the common plough was to be used
turning turrow each way on the line of the sub
soil plough, covering up the manure and making
ridge for a row of carrots. In this way most of
the manure will be around the carrots, and they
can extend down deep in the light and finely pull
verified soil prepared by the subsoi plough, and
as the rows this season are between the places
which they occupied last year, and as the carrot
has spindle root, which extends but short dis
tance compared with those of plants that have
branching and fbrous roots, this plan is on that of
rotation of crops, and we doubt not will succeed
well, and it is very cheap mode of management.
we observed the operation Of subsoilng and it
stirred the whole SOIL notwithstanding the plough
ran in lines two feet apart. The subsoiling this
season is across that of last year-Bost. Cuitipa-

WASHING IN FRANCE.

['rhe Paris correspondent of the Newark IN. J.)
Advertiser, describes the manner Of cleaning, or
rather OF mutilottng wash-apparel in France as fol-
lows.
From sheer curiosity just follow my "washing"
in its peranbulations through the city. A young
girl takes 1t from my room and carries it TO the
tabiishment of her mistress. Here every article is
marked with bit of thread. Thence it travels 10
the river at the dirtes portion of it, where the city
sewers dlsembogue their foul contents. At this
delightfully."- selected spot are large houses, built on
boat-shaped foundations, two hundred feet long or
more, two stories in height and provided with win
dows, chimneys, and other conveniences, like a
common dwelling on the land. The lower story
floor Is nearly even with the waters edge, and open
to the air. On this platform to be seen some
hundred or two women in each of these establish
ments, engaged in cleansing the linen. One should
never allow himself to imagine, even for minute,
that the chattel is his own, which he observes UNI
dergoing the torture of publication; the conse-
quences would assuredly be fatal to his peace of
mind. When man beholds his house burning up,
he is in some sort reconciled to his misfortune by
witnessing the manly efforts put forth by generous
fiIemen to rescue his property. But he is reduced
to positive despair when he views the wanon ex-
ertlons made to annhate his nice shirts and with
out any apparent compunclionS of conscience. But
labor is cheaper than SOAP and therefore it is used
with greater freedom. Economy is duly attended
TO- but 1t is the economy of soap and not of linen.
Fuel, as well as soap, is so dear that no one ever
thinks of boiling the "white things" as in the u
niled States. In the place of the former, they use
"l.eau de javelle," which is nothing more nor less
than I've, and SO strong as to fay the hand which
touches 1t. This is applied without mercy. After
this corrosive abluton, they pounded with a
wooden hammer till every button on the shirt is
broken, signal that they have been beaten enough.
The poor victim is not yet entirely despatched;
there are still some remains of vigor left. This is
soon dissipated orit is next laid upon board, and
brush of stiff brstles is energeticay applied by
dusty woman. 1t is then rinsed in the yellow
river, conveyed to the room overhead and dried,
returned to the first hands to be sarched and IRON
ed, and in few days the bundle of rags is sent
home to the unconscious proprietor, who pays six
sous for the transformation, and consigns it 10 the
paper maker. Two sous charged piece for
similar conversion Of collars, handkerchefs and
hose. The consequence of all this is, that dirty
shirts are SO excessively numerous, as to have be-
come almost distinctive of a gentleman. To mark
linen with ndeIible ink is perfectly uscless after
such process even the Kidder's is invisible

COLONIZATION IN AFRICA.

The African Luminary complains of English
designs upon the American Colony at Liberia
The complaint is not so much against the English
Government as English officers traders, and others
who resort to the Colony. The bad treatment is
return OF evil for good, great kindness has always
been manifested by the colonists towards all class
es of people, and especially when in Distress
The African Luminary speaks of many petty an
noyances, and says they have gone on with in
creaslng irritation on the part OF the English, UNI
I'll recently in document from Commodore Jones,
the new and startling discovery is announced, that
the Colonization Society being but company of
American citizens, and as such, possessing no po-
lltcal rights, could confer none upon us and that
we possessing neither political expe-
renee nor right received from them, have no right
to make port regulations to which the vessels of
other nations trading with us, are under obligation
10 CONFORM. Within the two weeks last past, an
EngIsn Captain Informed our Collector of Customs
that " Lord Aberdeen had said that their vessels
must not pay duties within the Colonies"
we hope this statement of the English Captain
is ialse Ii 1t is not, we hope our government will
demonstrate earnestly against it. We are unpre-
pared TO believe that Lord Aberdeen would make
any such declaration but if he has, we hope our
government will throw its own mantle around these
poor coloniss, and protect them. They have sought
a home IN their own land, and are laborine by in
dustry. intelligence and good conduct to acquire
independence. For England to disturb them in
their great moral enterprise, would be an act OF
meanness unparalleled in the history of nations.
We are not prepared to say that our Govern
ment has right to interfere in behalf OF these col
