THE ROSE BUD.

The rose bud that you gave me, love,
Beneath the Intel vine,
Although it fades in others eyes,
Unfaded seems in mine;
No common flower it seems to me,
On sunshine fed and dew
By others reared by others viewed,
Then plucked at last by you.
But 'tis linked in thought with you, love,
With YOU and only you,
As if it in your bosom chaste
Among the lilies crew.
AS if it in your bosom grew,
Oh, gentle maid and fair,
Grew close upon your nursing heart,
And fed its beauty there!
And you pressed it to your lips, love,
The night you gave it me-
And thence, deem, its life, its sweets,
It's deathless bloom must be
1t drew its vermeil from your lips,
IT'S fragrant with your breath
1t lives upon that balmy kiss,
That gives it life in death.
But if they see best who deem, love,
1t sere and yellow grows,
I'll tell you why the life and bloom
Have left the withered rose;
The flower upon my heart has lain,
And my heart has drawn away
The life, the sweets, it drew from yours
What time on yours it lay!
Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-07-30

Many persons choose their friends fol-
the sake of their full purses rather than
their full hearts. They forget that full
purse may soon be exhausted by the de-
mands upon it; while the more full heart
gives away the oflener it is replenished.
We shall fnd the strings of the heart and
strings of the purse both frightened in the
hour OF adversity-the former around U.s.
the latter round itself.

GREEN Com PJDDING-An article in
season.-One of the finest things ever
brought to the table, in the pudding line,
(says a Louisville paper,) is green corn
pudding, prepared according 10 the follow
ing recipe:
"Let every wife, who would like to sur
prise her husband by a rare delicacy, try
it. Take Of green corn twelve ears, and
CRATE it. To this add quart OF swee,
milk, quarter of pound of fresh but
ter. four eggs well beaten, pepper and
salt as much as sufficient; stir all well to-
gether, and bake four hours in buitered
dish. Some add to the other ingredients
quarter Of pound Of sugar, and eat the
pudding with sauce. II Is good cold or
warm, with meat or sauce; but epicures
OF the most exquisite taste declare for it,
we believe, hot and with the FIRST service. =

This salt dissoives in fire or six times

no water OF crystalzation, but holds por-

quietly into an oiI-ike liquid; and if the

Did the Bird intend to commit Suicide,

not suspended by human HANDS for. L we
could suppose any one sufficiently wanlon
to commit such an act, the sma 'Iness Of
the limb, from which it was suspended TO-
gtlher with its distance from tn. body Of
