BALM OF COLUMBIA.

Long hair is glory to woman says Paul,
And all feel the truth of the pious quotation,
Preserve 1t then, ladies-your glory may fall

A man has right to go ba1d-ano so has s
woman to so barefoot: and one looks about as
Respectable as the other Now if you wish to
stay bald, or get so if you are not, then do not

There's many maiden
More brilliant, by far,
With the step of a fawn,
And the glance of a star;
But heart there was never
More tender and true,
Than beats in the bosom
Of darling Lulu !!
Her eyes are too modest
To dazzle; but oh!
They win you to love her,
If gos will or no!
And when they glance up.
With their shy, s.ar.led look,
Her soul trembles in them,
Like light in brook.
There are bright eyes by thousands,
Black, hazel, and blue;
But whose are so loving
As those of Lula!
And waves of soft hair.
That poet would vow
Was moonlight on marble,
Droop over her brow.
The rose rarely blooms,
Thro' that light. silken maze.
But when it does play there,
How softly it plays!
Oh! there's many maiden
More brilliant, tits true,
But none so enchanting
As little Lulu!
She flirts like fairy,
About me about me all day,
Now nesting beside me,
Now up and away!
She singeth nnbidden,
With MARBLE as wild
As the lay Of the meadow lark,
Innocent child!
She's playful, and tender,
And trusting, and true,
She's sweet as lily,
My dainty Lulu!
She whispers sweet fancies,.
Now mournful, how bright,
Then deeper her glances,
With love and delight,
And the slow, timid smile,
That dawns in her face,
Seems filled with her spirits
Ineffable grace.
Oh! the world cannot offer
A treasure so true,
AS the childlike devotion
Of happy Lulu!

Lye.-Life is a fountain fed by a
thousand streams that perish if one be
dried. 1t is silver cord twisted with
a thousand strings that part asunder If
one be broken. Frail and thoughtless
mortals are surrounded by innumerable
dangers which make it much more
strange that they escape so long than
that they almost all perish suddenly at
last. We are encompassed with acct
dents ever ready to crush the moulder-
ing tenements that we inha bit. The
seeds of disease are planted in our
constitutions by the hand Of nature
The earth and the atmosphere whence
we draw our life, are impregranted
with death-health is roade to operate
its own destruction. The food that
nounshes the body contains the ele.
ments of its decay-the soul that ami
mates it by the vivifying fire, tends to
wear it out by its action-death turks
in ambush along our paths.

farmer informs the Hartford Times, that
in taking up fence that had been set
fourteen years, he noticed that some OF
the posts remained nearly sound, while
others rotted off at the bottom. While
looking for the cause, he found that
those posts which were set limbs part
down, or inverted from the way they
grew, were sound. Those which were
set as they grew, were roted off,
This is fact worthy the attention Of
