FIRST LOVE.


IT'S twenty years! Yes twenty years
Have fled into the past
Oh, twenty long and weary years,
Since | beheld thee last !
They say that time has brushed away
The brightness from thy cheek,
And that thy light and ringing laugh
Is more subdued and meek
IT'S twenty years Yes twenty years.
But | can meier forget,
How Edon-lke thy presence made
The places where we met
And as the aurmur of the deep
The sea she'll ne 'er forsakes,
Thy gentle voice within my heart
Its sweetest echo wakes.
IT'S twenty years Yes twenty years
But thy beloved face
Is mirrored in my memory yet
In all its girlish grace
And thou art still the same 10 me,
Thine eve as brightly blue
Thy cheek as warm, thy lips as red,
Thy heart as kind and true.
IT'S twenty years! Yes twenty years!
And other eyes may see
A shade upon thy polished brow,
Invisible to me
| see thee still with charmed eye,
And time has not erased
A single line, a single tint,
That young affection traced!

From the Home Journal.
SUMMER.
The early Spring hath gone; see her stand
Afar off, on the his-white clouds, like doves,
Yoked by the south wind to her opal car,
And at her feet lion and lamb
Couched side by side Irresolute Spring hath gone
And Summer comes, like Psyche, zephyr-borne
To her sweet land of pleasure
She is here!
Amid the distant wales she tarried long;
But she hath come, oh, joy for have heard
Her many chorded harp the Iive-long day
Sounding from plains and meadows, where, of late
Ratified the halls sharp arrows, and where came
The wild north-wind, careering like steed
Unconscious of the rein. She hath gone forth
Into the forest, and its poised leaves
Are platformed for the zephyr's dancing feet
Under its green paviIions she hath reared
Most beautiful things. The Spring. pale orphans lie
Sheltered upon her breast the birds loved song
At morn, outsoars his pinion, and when waves
Put on Nights silver harness. the still air
Earth with her joyful weeping she hath blessed
All that do rest beneath the wing of Heaven,
And all that hail its smile. Her ministry
Is typical of love; she hath disdained
No gentle office, but doth bend to Irvine
The grapes light tendrils, and to pluck apart
The heart-eaves of the rose. She doth not pass
Unmindful the bruised vine, nor scorn to lift
The trodden weed, and when her lowlier children
Faint by the way-side, like worn passen
She is gentle mother, all night long
Bathing THAR pale brows with her healing dews
The hours are spendhrifts of her wealth the days
Are lowered with her beauty.
Priestess queen!
Amid the ruined temples of the wood
She hath rebuilt her affairs, and called back
The scattered choristers, and over aisles
Where the slant sunshine, like curious stranger
Giided through arches and bare chairs hath spread
A roof magnificent. She hath awaked
Her oracle, that dumb and paralyzed,
Slept with the torpid serpens of the lightning,
Bidding his dread voice-Nature's mightiest-
Speak mystically of all hidden things
To the attentive spirit. There is laid
No knife upon her sacrifcial altar;
And from her lips there comes no pealing triumph
But to those crystal halls, where silence sits
Enchanted hath arisen mingled strain
Of music delicate as the breath of buds
And on her shrines the virgin hours lay
Odors and exquisite dyes, like gifts that kings
Send from the spicy gardens of the East!

over, debts OF the most sacred character have
been poslposed in consequence of The al

Paris is all agog, to-day, to witness the
meeting of the National Assembly. Yes
1erday, the new building erected in The court
of the late Palais Bourbon or Chamber of
Deputies, was opened for public inspection
You can hardly conceive the interest which
was manifested to get view of the interior.
Thousands of men, women and children,
many OF them appearing to belong even TO
the class of ladies and gentlemen, were con-
tent to stand en- queue-lhat is 10 stand in
long line, and wait many hours before their
turns came to be admitted. ! think, with
ont exaggeration, that the two tails which
were formed, may be set down as half-a-
mile in length, three or four abreast Many
were compelled TO retire because the clos
ing in of night interrupted the CEREMONY
The anxiety to obtain admil,ance at the o.
pening to-day, at ten O'Clock, is such that
the queue for entrance to-day was com
menced at nine o'clock las. night! One or
two hundred men stood in line all night,
and are standing there now to enter at one,

Corn CoB.-lt is believed by many, that
there is very little nutrmenl in corn cobs
but as one proof to the contrary, we will adj
duce the following. A farmer in Virginia,
few years since, afraid his corn crop would
not be sufficient to last through the winter,
determined to try, and did winter his horses
on corn cobs alone, pounded in common
hominy mortar with his own hands. They
received no other substance excep, long for
age, as hay and fodder. Upon this they did
their work and were in very good condition.
C.. " Dement,. ' ''"5
Among the evidences of the nutriment
contained in the corn cob, the experiment,
by dislllation, Of Mr.. Minor, Of Virginia,
showed that five bushels Of cobs contained
four gallons of spirit He also found other,
nutr.ive matter than the saccharne, as mu-
ciilage and oils. ..a...uT

COVERING CoRN.-.At the South shovel
plough or scraper is used for covering the
corn. The hills are made five feet apart,
and a smart girl can drop as fast as two
ploughs can cover, so that two mules and
three hands can plant from IL to, 90 acres
in day. One planter five miles below Au--
gusta cultivates nearly 1000 acres in corn
this season. 1t is no uncommon thing to
see thirty ploughs running in one immense
field. ..#- .sg '.Fr
