EARLY WOOD AND WVS,

Of sigh not Tor the fair young bride,
GOne in her opening bloom,
Far from her Kindred, loved and tried,
To glad aiioiher home;
Already are the gay brief days
Oi 9iilish triumph done, .. . s
Aud tranquil happiness repays, ..-..
The early wood aud won
Fear shall invade her peace no more,
Nor snrow wound he breast
Her passing rivalrits are o'er,
Her passing doubts at resi-;
The .lillrrin9 hAunls of worldly state
Love whispers her 10 shuu.
Slucr scenes OF pnrer bliss await
The early wood aud won,
Here is "a young and guilerss heart
Contidng, fond. aud warm;
Unsulhed b, The world. vain mart.
Unstaihrd 10y passions Storm;
1T ''hope deferred" she had not PANIED
Till hopes Sweet course was run;
No chains OF sad ie,,ienbrance bind
The early wood and Won.
Her smiles and songs Nave ceased to grace
The hall of festive mirth,
BIZ, woman's safest dwelling place,
Is by the true one's hearth,
Her hours OF dniy, Joy, and love
LII brightness have begun,
Peace be her portion from above,
Thr early wood and won.

HoNEY.-Honey is, according to Mr..
Milton, who has recently published a
treatise on bees in England, a universal
specific and among its other valuable
properties he declares that it prevents
consumption, and states that that des-
troyer of human life is not known in
countries where honey is regularly TAX
en- as an article of food. Those who
have less faith in the specific, may per-
haps attribute the case to difference OF
climate rather than to honey. The
italian singers, it is said, are greatly in
debted to honey; but their practice is
to sharpen it with few drops of acid
though they sometimes take it in pure
state.

WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS.

We have been friends together,
In sunshine and in shade;
Since first beneath the chestnut trees,
In infancy we PLAYED;
But GOODNESS dwells within thy heart,
A cloud is on thy brow;
We have been friends together
Shall light word part us now!
We have been friends together;
We have laughed at little jests;
For the fount of hope was gushing
Warm and joyous in our breasts;
But laughter now has fled thy lips,
And sullen giooms thy brow;
We have been gay together
Shall slight word part US now!
We have been sad together;
We have wcpt with bitter tears,
Ger the grass-grown graves where slumber't
The hopes of early years.
The voices which are silent there.
Would bid us clear the brow;
We have been sad together
Oh what shall part US now!

Horticulture is more advanced in
China than in any other county,
They select a suitable branch Of the
tree, to make circular incision through
about two-thirds of the thickness of
the branch. Then put COW manure in
and over the incision, then put on it a
straw rope five or six times larger than
the branch. All that's necessary after
this, is to keep this bondage moist SO
that it can never be quite dry. Two
months after this, the roots will be
found growing at the incision. The
branch may be cut off from the trees
with the bandage still on, and planted
immediately.
