were understood by the Egyptians in
the early ages Of the world, and no
doubt now exists among scientific men,
that the preparation used in the en-
balmment of bodies, was composed
principally Of this ingredient. In later
ages, II was found to be III universal
use among the aborigines Of America
and atthis day Ills their principal, and
IN fact, only medicine for an u%nsound
state Of the lungs, OF any approach e

She obeyed, and beheld star cleaning from
bright spot of azure in the murky sky, whose

she had mistaken Tor her own lost gem.

Written for the Boston Post, IN response TO d com

A form before my youthful vision rose,
Clad in robe pure as celestial love;
And bv its holy air and calm repose,
If seemed an Angel from the realms above
Affection glowed upon her peariy cheek,
And mid compassion lit her azure eyes, -
With voice melodlous, she seemed to speak
e. Language more pure than aught beneath
the skies.
Her fiaxen hair fell softly on her breast,
As throbbed her fairy bosom with delight
And swelled with fragrant breath her ample
chest,
Onc,half concealed, and half revealed tc
sight.
Her figure was the graces all in one,-
And cast in Beauty's perfect mould were
they:
She moved majestic SIS the glowing sun,
When crowned by fair Aurora Queen o
day.
| strove to clasp her in enamored arms,--
And suoye again, but found no substance
there:
No change appeared--l still beheid tn

And form divine, the fairest of the far.

Before the wooing vision of my mind;
Combining thoughts Of noble, pure and gooC
That all my aspirations have inclined.

The Pin and the Needle.

Lem Smith, the cute and philosophical editor
of the Madison Record, tells the following witty
fable which, is as good as anything we have ev-
er seen out Of Esop.
A pin and needle, says this American Fon-
tame, being neigbbors in a work basket, and
both being idle, began tn quarrel, as idle folks
are apt 10 do.
81 should like to know" said the pin, what
Won are good for, and how you expect to get
through the world without head !"
"What is the use of your head" replied the
needle, rather SHARPLY, "if you have no eye?"
"What is the use of an eye" said the pin, "ii
there is always something in it?'
IL am more active, and can go through more
work than you can" said the needle.
"Yes but you will not live long"
Why not"
Because you have always stitch in youl
side" said the pin.
/" You are poor, crooked creature" said the
needle.
"And you are so proud that you cau't bent
) without breaking your back" said the pin.
"Tll pull your head off if you insult IN
again"
AI'il put your eye out if you touch me ; re
member your life hangs by single thread,
SAID the pin.
While they were thus converslng little g
entered, and undertaking to sew she very 500
broke off the needle at the eye. Then she tie
the thread around the neck of the pin, and, "a
tempting to sew with it, she soon pulled
head off, and threw it into the dirt by the slt
of the broken needle.
"Well, here we are" said the needle.
ave have nothing to fight about now" sa
the pin.
"It seems that misfortune has brought us
our Senses"
"A pity we had not come to them sooner
M said the needle
"How much we resemble human beings, W
quarrel about their blessings till they lose the
and never find out they are brothers Till tn
ye, lay down in the dust together, as we do"
