that discovery they will active doubt not,with
their accustomed promptness in the matter"
-Raih'oad Journal.

Love is not a garment we can wear or lay
aside at pleasure, to fit loosely like an easy
glove It's not thing that we can toy or play
or trife with, to entertain or fling aside as
our hayward fancy lists that gains admission
into the heart as chance tenant, and to whom
we may give notice to quit, at moments
warning, as whim, caprice, or humor prompt
1t is a holy, deep, devoted passion--once
gains its admission into true woman's breast,
it fingers there for ever. In her waking and
her dreaming hours it is always present
She would not resign it for her life She
could not, if she would, for without it her bo-
som would be dreary void, and her exist
ence blank. Oh ye that possess that ines
unable treasure, woman's trusting doting
Loves she once, she loves you eternally.-
Change as you will, no change can alter her.

A NEW YEARS GIFT,
FROM A WIPE TO HER HUSBAND

FROM WIPE TO HER HUSBAND.
Dear husband of my heart On this glad morn,
This birthday of the year, fain would bring
Can never tell what thou hast been and art
10 me, my best beloved, my friend and guide
Sharer of all my joys and sympathies;
hind Solace OF my griets; through every scene
mat crowds the varied page of life, thy love
Eatil been the same; it never yet hath waned,
But still the trace of early fbndness wears
Thou art the cherished prop which, next to Christ
My trusting heart most leans upon for strength
In all the dark and trying scenes of life
Whence maternal care hath filed my heart
Kind helper, thou, with sympathy sincere Tme
ana warm, heart cheering smile, hath shared with
A parents anxious thoughts and ever stroYe
10 tighten al my weary tolls and cares.
When days ofagony and sleepless nights
nave pressed on me so heavily that life
Itself became Indebtedness, thy love
Hath been my stay for fond affections's glance
Like some bright spirit from above can nerve
The fainting heart to meet lite's widest storm
And grief divided with kindred soul
Is sWeeter far than all earth IS joys apart
When sickness long hath chained me to my couch
The magic Of thy care hath given to life
a. charm unknown before; to ease my pain
Thy own dear hand the healing art EMPLOYS
And to no hireling leaves its task of love.
On, how unlike the purchased care of those
Whose practiced sympathy is measured ont
with sparing hand, and cold and heartlCss tones
Dear msband-kind physician and friend
Faithful in all, as most my need requires
Naught can thy tenderness estrange from me-
LOT tnou dost prize faithful heart far more
Than beautys witching face or sunny smile.
Ott have felt that all this world could give.
OF glory, wealth or power, were nothing WORTH
Ifthou vert not the shrine whereon my heart
ITS choicest earthly offering might place.
freely laid my hand in thine-and gave
With it my heart-and vowed 20 bear fond
AND faithful part, through all thy after fate,
For well know thou vert aiiectionate,
hlnd, generous and true and cheerfulIy
took that VOW OflOve which binds my soul
10 thine-that vow which Death aione shall break,
And ever shall be thine the confidence.
The love and prayers THY devoted wife.

MURDER OF GEN. TAYLoRs NEGRO. A
letter in the N. Y Herald, dated Monterey,
Nov 8, says-Gen. Taylors negro boy was
murdered by two MeXicans last evening"
The boy was sent by Gen. Taylor after corn,
at some distance from the camp,and while he
was in the field procuring load, two Mexi-
cars, armed With knives, fell on him, and most
brutally murdered him upon the spot. His
body was found soon after by party Of SOL
diers, partially covered with the green corn
the boy had cut The murderers were ar
rested this morning, and turned over by Gen.
Taylor to the acade of the city, to receive
due punishment for the attrocous crime
They fully confessed their gait,and were not
in the least alarmed as to the consequences.

-one simultaneous shout burst from the Shore

drowned the echo Of the heavy guns-the

MILK FOR THE PEOPLE. There exists on
Long Island, near Brook YIN, several manu-
factories of Milk--the process (Which should
be known One of these diaries covers a
space of 600 feet front by 800 deep, carefully
fenced in, so as to be as private as possible,
(the business of the people being to drink the
milk, not to know how it is made,) in which
enclosure 400 cows are kept the whole year
round. These COWS are fed on the refuse slop
of the whiskey distilleries, and it is given to
them 'carm. Each barrel costs six cents, but
being adultcrated with water and cheap feed,
brings the price still less. Such is the fond
ness of the cows for this vile compound, that
after having fed upon it for a week or more
their appetites become so dcpravcd that they
will take no other food. The result is that
their k-produeing organs are stimulated to
a wonderful degree; they yield enormously
but soon become diseased; their gums ulcer
ate, their teeth drop out, and their breath be-
comes fetid Though thus diseased they do
not fall away in flesh, but on the contrary puff
up and bloat to an appearance of great fat
ness their joints become stiff, SO that they
cannot lie down, and rarely or never come

: THERE is AN HOUR OF PEACE
Full REST"
BY WIN. b. TAPPAN.

BY WIN. b. TAPPAN.
There is an hour of peaceful rest
TO mourning wanderers given
There is a joy for souls distressed
A balm for every wounded breast
IT'S found alone in Heaven.
There is Il soft, q downy bed,
Far from these shades of even
A couch for weary mortals spread,
Where they may rest the aching head,
And find repose in Heaven:
There is n home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven;
When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise, and ocean rolls,
And all is drear-'tis Heaven.
There Faith lifts up her cheerful eye,
To brighter prospects given
And views the tempest passing by,
The evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene in Heaven.
The fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given
There rays divine disperse the gloom
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of Heaven.

ELEcTRICITY-AP PLEASING EXPERT
MENT Notwithstanding the effects of the
wonderful power of electricity are continually
before us, and we are constantly witnessing
its wonderful phenomena, with all the mys-
terious DEVELOPMENTS and results which it pro-
duces, we can scarcely realize how inseperably
connected it is with all the various and rami-
fed working and changes ofthe natural world
and its consequent connections with our own
vital properties and powers. The Mechanics
Magazine relates asimple and pleasing expert
ment, illustrative Of its singular effect, from a
simple sheet of foolscap paper. The Maya
zine says:
Place an ron-japanned tea-tray on a dry,
clean beaker glass; then take a sheet of fools
cap writing paper and hold it close to the fire
until its hygrometric moisture is disslpated,
but not so as to scorch it; in this state it is
one ofthe finest electrics we have. Hold one
end down on table with the finger and thumb
and give it about dozen strokes with large
niece of India rubber from the leftto the right
beginning at the top. Now take it up by two
of the corners and bring it over the tray, and
it will fall down omit like stone; the finger
be now brought under the tray a sensible
shock will be felt Now lay a needle on the
tray, with its point projecting outwards, re-
move the paper, and star sign OF the mega
tive electricity viii be seen; return the paper
and the positive brush will appear. In fact,
it forms very extemporaneous electophorous,
which will give a spark an inch long, and
strong enough to set FIRE to some combushbIe
bodies, and to exhibit s!l the electric pheaofn<
eaa not requiring ceated sufaces. flour beSk-

PetiOn'S Daughter.

While Potion administered the government
of the island of Hayti, some distinguished for
eigner sent his little daughter beautiful bird in
very handsome cage. The child was delight
ed, and with great exultation exhibited the pres
ent to her father 1t is indeed very beautiful
my daughter, said he but it makes my heart
ache to look at it. hope you will never show
it to me again
With great establishment, she inquired his rea-
sons He replied When this island was called
St. Domingo, we were all slaves 1t makes me
think of it to look at that bird, for he is slave
The little girls eyes filed with tears, and her
lips qulsered as she exclaimed, Why, father
he has such large handsome cage; and as much
as ever he can eat and drink
And would you be slave said he, if you
could live in agreat house, and be fed on FROST
ed cake p
After moments thought, the child began to
say, half reluctantly, Would he be happier if /
opened the door of his cageT He would be
free was the emphatic reply, Without anoth-
err word, she took the cage to the open window,
and moment after, she saw her prisoner play
ing with the humming birds among the honey
suckles.
