VIRGINIA. The project Of division of Vir-
is entertained, especially in the Western
praedce, almost free country. Very few slaves
are there, and the habits and customs of the peo-
pie belong to the free States. Western Virginia
demands a new Constitution with different basis
of representation in the Legislature. A system
OF internal improvement is also demanded by
Western Virginia; and to none OF these demands
are the people of Eastern Virginia disposed to
accede..

GENTLE WORDS.

4 young Rose in the Summertime
Il beautiful to me,
And glorious the many stars
That gIimmer on the sea;
But gentle words and loving hearts,
And hands to clasp my own,
Are better than the brightest flowers
Or STARS that ever shone.
The SIN may warm the Grass to life,
The Dew, the dropping Flower,
An eye grow bright and watch the light
Of Autnmn's opening hour
But words that breathe oftenderness,
And smiles we know are true,
Are warmer than the Summer time,
And brighter than the Dew.
Il il not much the world can give,
With all its subtle art,
And Gold or Gems are not the things
To satisfy the Heart;
But oh ifIhose who cluster round
The altar and the hearth,
Have gentle words and loving smiles,
How beautiful is earth

TRIMMING TREEs.-The editor of the
Massachusetts, -Ploughman regards the
months of May and June as the bes, sea-
son for trimming fruit and forest trees. as
wounds then made heal sooner than those
made earlier in the season. He says ::
"Irees and vines cease, to bleed as soon
as the leaves appear, and from this time
TILL autumn they continue to make sap
wood, (alburnham,) and this is the pro-
cess that serves to heal wounds in trees.
very little wood is made till the tree has
full Leaf, for the leafis important to change
and mature the sap that rises in the trunk
and spreads through the branches"

EvADING A LAw.--It is said that no
law can be framed that a Yankee cannot
avoid, and an instance of the fact is given
IN Maine paper. The Legislature of
that State passed law recently requiring
that the composition and the proportion of
each article of the composition of patent
medicine offered for sale, shall be printed
on label and pasted on the bottle, pack
age, &c, containing it. A daring indi.
vldual, who has a patent medicine much
IN demand by the down east people, had
tho composition, proportions, &c. of each
article in the compound translated into
Chinese, and in the language the required
labels are printed. He thus complies
with the letter of the act-because the
law does not define the language of the
labels.
