The following article was intended by
its writer to be published in the Maiae Far

there. Although it comes somewhat in the
form of an advertisement. we give place to
it, being DESTROYS to aid in the introduction
Of any new variety of grass which promises
to prove a public benefit.

years been extensively cultivated, and be-

consideres it an invaluable article of diet
and ascribes to 1t very important medica
properties. He declares =
l. chat the Tomato is one of the most
powerful deobstruents Of the Materia Med.
icG and that in all those affections of the
liver, and other organs where caIomeI is in

least harmful remedial agent known in The
profession.

SPEAKING OUT Those who have spo-

CONSERVATION Of the old lady who sp1ke cal

country towns, for those who lived several
miles from church, to remain during the in
terval between morning and evening ser
vice On this occasion she had taken some
milk in pitcher for the children; and in
the most interesting part Of the worship,
dog, who had followed them into the pew,
thrust his head into the pitcher Whether
his head was too large, or the pitcher too
small, is not our province to determine; but
having RECALLED himself, the pitcher still OBJ
stinatcly retained its position, and he was
discovered backing out, with the pitcher
stuck fast upon his head. and the milk
streaming in every direction on his head
and shoulders, Get out, you pup" says
the old lady, Frightened at her own voice

Some English people were visiting an
elegant private garden at Palermo Sicily,
and among the little ornamental buildings,
they came to one upon which was written
&" Non aperite," that is, Don't open"
This prohibition only served to excite their
curiosity, and they very uncivIly proceeded
to dsobey the hospitable owners injunc,
ton. On openngtho door forcible jet OF
water was squirted full in their faces. A
very just, though not very severe retribu-
fion

A CAPITAL HIT.-Congreve rockets were

OLD MAIDS AND BAcHELoRs.-The North
Frisians are very unmercifu to people who
don't marry One of their legends say
that, after death, old maids are doomed to

below the horizon, and the ghosts of the
old bachelors must blow them up in the
East, running like amp"lighters all night

WHAT IS LIFE :

By H. p. PECK,
Oh, what is life tits but an OCEAN
A toilsome, weary, restless sea;
Where tumult, yea, where wild communion
Is the eigning sovereignty
tTis like the sweet and fragrant flowers,
Which in the morn are full of bloom,
But ere the veil Of even lowers,
Their day of vigor ends in gloom.
Some say that life is but vapor--
A bubble rising on the wave
Which swellsand stayeth but ment,
Then dashCs quickly to the grave.
If life is such raging bllow,
Is such dark and dreary tide,
Oh? if 'tis such floating shadow,
Why ought we not in God cohlide :
