We feel much pleasure in inviting the
attention of our readers to the advertise
ment of Messrs LANYoN & WABNE. in
another column of our paper to-day. We
have been through their establishment, and
feel confident that they are prepared to do
all kinds of work, in the line of casting

mems of the work of Mr. WARNE, done
before he come to this place, We have no
hesitation in pronouncing him qualified to
execute, in most superior style, any
variety of casting that he may undertake.
An establishment of this kind has long
been needed in this place. and we sincere

who have commenced the business may
find their labors richly rewarded by the
liberal patronage of the public

Trees in Van Dieman's Land.

Last week | went to see two of the lar

that have ever been measured. They
were both on tributary rill to the North

Wellington, and are what are here called
Swamp Gums. One was growing, the

the first branch 900 feet; from thence to

the top it must have been considerably
beyond 800 feet. 1t is 80 feet in dame
ter at the base, and IL at 900, or at the
first branch. We estimated it to weigh,
with the branches, 440 tons. The stand.
ing giant is still growing vigorously,with-
out the slightest SYMPTOM of decay, and
looks like large church tower among
the puny sassafras trees. 1t measures at
three feet from the ground, lO2 feet in
circumference, at the ground 100 feet -
We had no means of ascertaining its
height, (Which, however, must be enor>

Is the Earth full of Seeds z

The fact that earth or soils brought up
from different depths of the earth, have,
when exposed to the sun or air, become
covered with vegetation, has led many to
suppose that the whole earth, from centre
TO circumference, is full Of seeds.
This cannot be the case, but there are
nevertheless, remarkable instances Of the
fact above named. We once threw up a
lot of course gravel, late in the fall, from
depth of nearly ten feet, and early the
next spring twas covered with pig weeds
which grew very luxuriantly. The great
est depth we ever heard of seeds being
buried, we find in recent exchange pa
per. In boring for water ct Kingston,
upon Thames, some earth was brought
up from the depth of three hundred and
sixty feet. This earth was carefully COW
cred with a hand glass to prevent the
possibility of any other seed being depos-
tied upon it, yet, in short time, plants
vegetated from it. is v

A "Fast" Wife.

The Portland Argus tells the following
good story of the smartness and spirit OF
a woman in that settlement. The Argus
thinks it ''the fastest case on record''-
that sit will take balloon 10 beat it !"
"One Of our citizens intended to make
a journey east, last week, picked up his
buds, and started for the cars, just in sea-
son to get seat, leaving his wife (whom
he much regretted could not accompany
him) in the yard hanging out washing
of clothes. No sooner had he turned
the corner, than his wife threw on her 90
to-meetin's, went to the cars and took a
seat before her lord entered. For eighty
miles or so, this happy couple travelled in
the same car, without the better half dis
covering his indefatigable lady. Arrived
at w., while the husband was inquirine
the location of his friends, his wife made
for the house, and had become happily
domicilated before he arrived. Stepping
into the parlor, his friends, after the con-
CALCULATIONS had passed, expressed their
great regret that he had not brought his
wife. "Oh (said he) she is so busy, she
could not leave. Very sorry-very sor-
ry, lcould not bring her along" "Well"
said the hostess, $50 are we. But there
is a lady staying with US that looks so
much like your wife, that you could hard
ly tell them apart. Wait and [ will in~
troduce you" So without more ado, in
she ushers the fast wife, and threw the
poor man, who left his wife in Portland
hanging out clothes, into perfect stag

got there before him.

Liking and Disliking.


Ye who know the reason, tell me
How it is that instinct still
Prompts the heart to like-or not to like
At its own capricious will
Tell me by what hidden magic
Our impressions first are led
Into ikins-or disliking-
Oft before word is saids
Why should smiles sometimes repel us
Bright eyes turn eur feelings cold:
What is that which comes to tell us
All that glitters is not golds
Oh no feature plain or striking
But power we cannot shun,
Prompts our iking-or disliking,
Ere acquaintance hath begun:
Is it instinct, or some spirit
Which protects us, or controls
Every impulse we inherit
By some sympathy of souls
Is it instinct is it nature:
Or some freak, or fault of chance,
Which our liking or disliking
Limits to a single glances
Like presentiment of danger,
Through the sky no shadow filings;
Or that inner sense, still stranger,
of unseen, unuttered things!
Is its-oh can no one tell me,
No one show sufficient cause
Why our likings, and dislikings,
Have their own instructive lawss
