Theresa spO, ,haii love, there's home that
prize
Far better than any on earth;
1t is bound TO my heart by the holiest of ties !;
And prize, oh T! how tondy, Its worth
'Tis not beauty nor splendor, endearS it to mc,
Oh no for its grandeur hath flown:
But It's londest affection that binds me TO thee /;
My old house-my dear happy home!
Oh horne--what dear magic in that swee,
sound;
How closely il speaks to the heart:
What a world of deep tenderness in thee is
found;
Oh! who from such treasure could part1
Could barter the joys of a sweet home of love,
For path in a strange world unknown;
Could seek for vain pleasures and heartlessly
rove,
If they knew the real value of homer
Some sigh to be wealthy, some seek to be
great,
Some envy what others can do;
But oh! arn content with my lowly estate
For the hearts all around me are true:
And ties that are nearest and dearest to me,
And hearts that are truly mine own,
With fondest affection now bind me to thee,
My old house--my dear happy nome!

GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1852

0y- The following beautiful poem we publish
by request. 1t has been taken up as wdif in one
of the by.ways of newspaper poetry, and is by
its claimant respectfully dedicated to the memory
of MARGARET WIsNER TAYLOR, deceased:
To the Departed.
Thou hast left u.s. sweet sister in sorrow and tears
They have smoothed the green turf DER thy
breast,
Where thou, in the beauty and bloom of thy years,
Art laid down in silence to rest
There's seat now left vacant, dear missing face,
In the circle around the home hearth;
And the dark wing of sorrow broods over the place,
Once gladdened with innocent mirth ..
But, oh we believe that thou dost not forget
To be round us though hid from our sight,
That the love of thy spirit is true to us yet,
Though our own may be shrouded in night!
Yet tell us !-stoop down from that star.lghted
way
Which thy feet, mid the seraphim," tread,
And say if earth's ties DER thy spirit have sway,
In the bright land to which thou art fed!
Oh come through our sleep let thy bright vision
CLEAN,
And our bosoms shall cease to repine,
While our spirits, entranced in some beautiful
dream,
Shall mingle, enraptured, with thine!
Fare thee well, sweetest sister! there's many
heart
That pines thy dear image to sce
There are fond eyes, that wept when they saw thee
depart,
Still heavy with weeping for thee
Fare thee well round thy name, which long, long
shall endure,
While the lily and myrtle we twine,
We will pray that our hearts may be ever as pure,
And our lives ever lovely as thine.

TEXAS WINEs.-We learn from the Hous-
ton Telegraph that very large quantity Of
wine has been made in Texas this season from
native grapes. Most of the wine has been
made from the mustang grape, which yields a
wine of beautiful claret color, and seems to
combine Of the qualities of caret and port
The mustang grapes on the hill sides, in the
undulating region of Texas, grow on and on,
year after year, and year after year produce
successive crops of grapes that are as luxuriant
and free from every defect as those of the best
vineyards of Spain or France. We recently
visited the valley of New Years Creek, WASH
ington County, and were astonshed to potice
the immense quantities, and the extraordinary
luxuriance of the grape vines. They were ex-
tended in many places in festoons, several rods
in length, and some of them seemed loaded
with tons of fruit. We believe we saw
several vines, each one of which would have
yielded barrel of wine. Ifthese native grapes
grow thus luxuriantly on the natural terraces,
surely the choice varieties of the grape might
be cultivated there to advantage. The valley
of New Years Creek probably contains hand
red thousand acres that are as we'll adapted to
the culture of the vine as the lands in the val
ley of the Rhine, and if an enterprising and
wealthy capitalist like Mr.. Longworth, of Gin.
cinnati, would encourage few poor emigrants
from the vine regions of Europe to commence
the culture of the grape in this beautiful valley
in a few years Texas might furnish the Attain
tic cities with wine of a quality equal to the
best that has ever been imported from Europe"

would be to a sexagenarian to look into the

I AMAD WoLF.-Letters recently from Smyr-
ma, give an account of a terrible disaster which
occurred at Adala some days before. "A furi-
Gus wolf appeared in the market-pace, and bit
several persons most severely, but, taking fright
at the cries which arose on all sides, he jump
ed over wall and got into large garden
where several hundred persons, who had come
to town on account of the silk CROP. were
sleeping in the open air. Here he wounded
l2S persons, but, being again frightened away
by the cries of the people, he got into a sheep
fold, where he killed 80 sheep, and wounded n.
Unfortunately the governor had caused the
whole population to be disarmed few days
before, so that the unfortunate people were
without the means Of defence-but on the fol-
lowing day arms was distributed and the wolf
killed. According to the report of the physi-
clan of the place, the wounds inflicted by the
animal are hideous-but the most horrible cir
cumstance in this disaster is, that several of
the wounded have already died Of hydrophobia,
so that the whole population is in the utmost

SINGULAR DIscovERY.-lt is stated in one of
the English papers that the work of draining
the Lake of HARLEM has led to the discovery
of an immense mass Of human remains, deeply
imbedded in the mud, and placed precisely on
the spot where according to Typographical
chart, laid down in 1911, and which has always
been considered as perfectly accurate, the un-
fortunate village of Nierewenkirk was situated,
and which in 1889 was swallowed up by one
Of those eruptions of the North Sea, which
formed the Lake of HARLEM.

AN ERECT PosITIoN.-A writer on health
very justly condemns the habits of lounging in
which a large number of persons indulge, as in
furious to health. He says: An erect bodily
attitude is of vastly more Importance to health
than people generally imagine. Crooked posi-
tons maintained for any length of time, are al
ways injurious, whether in the sitting, standing
or lying posture-whether sleeping or awake.
To sit with the body leaning forward on the
stomach, or to one side, with the heels elevated
to level with the head, is not only in bad
taste, but exceedingly detrimental to health
1t cramps the stomach, presses the vital organs
interrupts the free motion of the chest, and en-
feebles the muscles of the abdominal and tho
racic organ and in fact, unbalances the whole
muscular system. Many children become
slightly hump-backed or severely round-shoul-
dered, by sleeping with the head raised on a
high pillow. When any person finds it easier
to sit, stand or walk, or sleep in crooked po-
stion than straight one, such person may be
sure his muscular system is badly deranged-
and the more careful he is to preserve a
straight or upright position, and get back to ma
ture again, the better.

The CHAMELEoN.-An officer in Africa thus
writes of the habits of this animal:
AS some of the habits of the chameleon may
not be generally known, will take the liberty of
mentioning few of them, which came under
my own observation. One morning on my re-
turn from parade, ! saw very close to my own
tent a large chameleon hanging on bush. |
Immediately secured him, and provided a box
for him to repose in. In the course of few
days he became quite familiar, and having seen
them before knew how to gain his affections
which, in the first place, was done by feed
ing him well-and in the next place, by scratch
ing his back with n feather used to put him
on my table at breakfast, and in the course of a
very few minutes have sseen him devour at
least five flies, catching them in the most dex-
ferrous manner with his long and Shiny tongue
nor does he ever move from his position-but
so sure as an unfortunate fly comes within his
reach, so sure he is caught, and with the rapid
ty Of thought In the forenoon always gave
him large slice of watermelon, the whole of
which he devoured, and he generally supped on
as many flies as he could manage to entrap, set
ting at defiance the "nobe Hamlet's" theory
of the chameons dish Promises would not
have suited him at all, being at the end of each
day considerably more like a crammed capon
than an air fed chameleon.
1t is not true that this animal will change
his color according to what he is put on-but
he will change shade according as he is pleased
or displeased. His general hue is green, with
small gold spots over his body-he remains at
this shade when he is highly pleased, by being
in the sun, or being fed, or scratched, which he
delights in. When angry--and he is very cas-
lily made so--his hue changes to dusky green
almost black, and the gold spots are not to be
seen. But never could perceive any other
color on his body but green, in a variety of
shades--the spots enlarge very much when he
is in good humor--so much so, indeed, as to
give yellow tinge to the upper part of the an
imal--but in general they are mere little yel-
low spots here and there on the back and sides.

AN Inch OF YtME-" Millions of money for
an inch of time" cried Elizabeth, the gifted,
but ambitious queen of England, uponher dying
bed Unhappy women, reclining upon royal
couch-with ten thousand dresses in her ward
robe-a kingdom on which the :" sun never
SETS" at her feet, all are now vauless, and she
shrieks in vain for single "inch of time."-
She had enjoyed three-score and ten years.
Like too many of us, she had so devoted them
to wealth, to pleasure, to pride, to ambition,
that her whole preparation for eternity was
crowded into her final moments-and hence
she, who had wasted more than half a century,
would barter millions for m inch of time.
