"REEF SAILS"
" MRS. LYDIA Ii. sIaoURNEy


By MRS. LYDIA IL. sIdoURNEy.
A ,houehlless pair, with sreamers gay,
Der Hymens waters sweep,
Proiusion dancing al the helm,
AMI Prudence laid 10 sleep;
Al Labor's ancient chart they scof,
On murdered hours they tread
And lavish waste anoher'S gold
When all their own is fed.
Reef sails Reef sails a whirlpooPs nigh,
The angry breakers sound; .n.,
Haste, change your reckoning, ere " P'""s'
In gulphs profound.
Young Beauty, in her painted barque
Like Esyp;s boosted queen,
For whom, lis sad the world was lost,
With naughty brow is seen;
The morn is fair, the breeze is rare,
And gliding on her way,
She deems each pillows flashing crest
To her doth homage pay;
Reef sails, my lady there's cloud
To threat Thy noon-tide skies,
A wrecking sand, lonely strand,
Be timely wise.
Pride launches bold, with canvass spread,
And top-masl towering high,
Regardless of the warning blast,
That through the shronds doth sigh.
Reef sails! lis moi for him OF dust,
Whose fall the worm doth wait
To magnify the ileeline pomp
That seeks his high estate;
Reef sails Rect sails! ifes bubble breaks
The stern grave claims lis paIl,
But heavens eternal favor crowns
The lowiy heart

ARMY WoRM.-Our friend, MIR. Edmund
Whaley, showed US Yesterday specimen OF
reptile which has made lis appearance in the
cotton, and is committing alarming ravages. II
was sent by one Of his correspondents from Ma
olson county, and he writes that it is there in
some parts sweeping every green thing, bolls,
leaves and buds, from the fields.
The worm showed US was not the army worm
of last season, and is not catterpillar-or, al
least, does not hang BY a web when shaken of
The leaf, as caterpiIlars do. II seems a genu-
inc cu;-worm, CT some Of the grasshopper tribe,
though, 10 first view, it very much resembles
The army worm. Whether army worm or mol,
however, il eats cotton, as we had ocular de-
monslralion, and if il comes in any numbers,

name as another. Tie destruction will be i'm
