POETRY.
PHILOSOPHY FOR The TIMES

~
Let those who will, rePine at fate,
And droop theirheads with sorrow,
laugh when cares upon me wait
1 know they'll leave to morrow.
NV purse is light, but what of that 7
My heart is light TO match ii;
And if I tear my only coat,
/ laugh the while l patch it.
I've seen some elves who call themselves
Ny friends in summer weather,
Blown far away in sorrows day,
is winds would blow feather
never grieved to see them go,
(The rascals, who would heed 'em?)
For what's the use of having friends,
Iffalse when most you need EN- ,?
I've seen some, rich in worldly gear,
Externally repining,
Their hearts-a prey to every fear
With gladness never shining.
would not change my lightsome heart,
For all their gold and sorrow.
For that's The thing that all their wealth
Can neither buy nor borrow.
And still as sorrows come to me,
(And sorrows sometimes Will Gomez
I find the way TO make them flee,
Is bidding them right welcome.
Thcy cannot brook cheerful look;
THEY'RE used 10 sobz and sighingi
And he that meets diem with SMILE
Is sure to set 'em flying.

over the surface struck me as showing an I'm
usual state of the atmosphere the purple,
murky light resting on part, and the line
or silver refraction in another. Though the
sky was clear after the morning clouds had
passed away, the sunshine appeared dim, ard
the heat was oppressive. The gentlemen of
the party who stayed behind to battle, de-
clared, on rejoining US at lunch time. that
they had found the common report of the
buoyancy of the water of this sea not at all ex-
aggerated, and that it was, indeed, an easy
matter to float III it, and very difficult to sink.
They also found their hair and skin powdered
with salt when dry. But they could not ad-
NIT the greasiness or sickness which is said
TO adhere to the skin after bathing in the Dead
Sea. They We're very positive about this, and
they certainly did observe the fact very care
fully. Yet have seen, since my return, a
clergyman who bathed there, and who de-
Clared TO me that his skin was so sticky for
some days after, that lie could not get rid of it
even from MS own bands. And the trust
worthy Dir. Robinson. late traveller there,
says: After coming out, perceived nothing
OF the salt crust upon the body of which so
many speak. There was a slight pricbing
sensation, especially where the skin had been
chafed; and sort of greasy feeling, as Of oil,
upon the skin, which lasted for several hours"
The contrast ofthose testimonies, and the di-
versity which exists among the analyses Of the
waters which have been made By chemists,
seem to show that the quality Of the waters
of the Dead Sea varies. And it appears rea-
sOnable that 1t should for it must make a
great difference whether fresh waters have
been pouring into the basin of the lake, after
the winter rains, or great evaporation has
been going on under the summers sun. Ia
following the margin Of the sea, we had to
cross creek, where my skirt was splashed.
These splashes turned presently 10 thin crusts
of salt; and the moisture and sickness were
as great week afterwards as at the n1ment.
We wonnd among salt marshes and brakes,
in and out on the desolate shore of this sea
this sea which is not the less dead and dreary
for being as clear and blue as mountain tarn.
AS we assembled the ranges Of the hills which
lay between US and the convent where we
were to rest, the Jordan valley opened north
wards, and the Dead Sea southwards, till the
extent trayersed by the eye was really vast.
How beautiful must it have been once, when
the Jordan valley, whose verdure was now
shrunk into a black line amidst the sands, was
like an interminable garden: and, when the
cities Of the plain stood bright and busy where
the Dead Sea now lay blank and gray. As
took my last look back, from a great elcva-
ton, thought that SO mournfuI landscape,
for one having real beauty, l had never seen.

CHOOSING \ PRoFEssIoN-'' What shall
do with my boy He wishes TO learn
trade, but think of placing him in store,
for a merchant is more gentecI than a
mechanic" said father 10 us lately. Our
advice was to let the child have his way.
1t is as a general thing the wisest course
to be adopted. 4 boys instinct as to Z
profession for life, is usually correct one.
Nature constitutes us all differently
Some have the qualities that constitute
good merchants; some turn for science;
some powers Of logic and defamation
that fit them for the pulpit, the bar, or
Senate. Every boy, however stupid in
appearance, has natural fitness for some
thing. Place him in that pursuit, and
work becomes a pleasure; but force his en-
ergies into a different channel, and 10 his
whole life is a blunder. We have seen
men thus compelled TO be merchants whose
hearts were in learned profession, and
others delving at law who ought to have
been farmers and mechanics. But al
ways remember to give boy some pro-
fession. If you would have him free
from vice or ennui. give him an occupation
Of some kind to cngross his time and ia
entities -Nr0ES Gazette

WooD, GREEN AND DRy.-Water con-
stitutcs no inconsiderable part of the
weight Of all vegetable substances. Near
ly one-haIf of the weight of u growing
oak tree, according TO count Runfor d,
consists Of sap. Ordinary dry wood con
tains about onc-quarter Of its weight in
water. 1t is estimated by Rumlord, that
an average cord of green wood contains
more than two hogshcads Of water; and
the waste of heat in evaporating this guam
THY Of water, would raise thirteen and Il
half hogsheads Of water to a boiling point.
The buyer of wood may learn from these
facts the advantage Of dry wood over
green, as an article of fuel; and the sell
or, who has the wood to draw, may learn
how TO. economist labor, by drying his
wood, and thus disposng Of about one
quarter part of the weight Of a cord of
wood in water, which he would otherw ise
be compelled to draw to market.
The following table will show the weight
of cord of different kinds Of dry wood,
and the comparative amount of charcoal,
or real combustible matter, found IN each,
