Night Ger the stormy sea
Her dusky wing unfurls;
The tempest's revelry
The stout ship wildly whirls;
And clouds like goblins grim
Frown round those gallant men
Hopes light is growing dim
Ne'er to revive again!
The lightning fercely leaps
From sky to sea of fire,
The wrathful thunder sweeps
It's wierd and giant Tyre
The streaming sails are rent,
The masts now groan, now fall
Darkness is fifty sent,
The wreck'd ships funeral pail!
The waves are dashing higher
The faithful plank is broken;
One fash-their bark, their pyre-
Few farewell words are spoken
Sea-monsters wistfully
Await their death doomed prey
Their ship, the sea, the sky,
All blazing fade away!
God save those valiant hearts!
Sunk in the treacherous waves,
Their gasping breath DEPARTS
And nameless are their graves.
The xalling winds their dirge,
Are hymning mournfully;
The bounding billow surge
Morn from that drear, dark night,
Wakes radiant and fair,
Wide streams her rosy light
Nor storm, nor ship is there;
No ripple marks the spot
Where men so madly strove-
Her death-fraught rage forgot
All nature smiles with love!
So many mariner
On PASSIONS sea is tossed;
And in the stormy stir,
Now struggles-now is lost;
But life whirls gaily on,
Unmindful of his fate
Not all the bad are gone
Not all the good are great!

To Remove Bots from Horses.

Last summer as some young china trees
(Melia Azadaraeh) reared their tops above the
tops of the paillings by my horse lot, 1 discov-
cred too late to save the tree, that one Of my
horses was eating of it, being busily engaged in
the duties of my profession, l drove the horse
some ten miles that evening and was surprised
to see at every evacuation from the bowels, the
large number of bots, or grubs and small worms
which was passed off Knowing the anthelmin-
thic properties of the china tree, was led to at
tribute the effect at once, to it, so l gathered
some of the green leaves Of the china tree, and
tried it on my other horse and it produced the
same effect; also notice my horses improved
in their appearance, &c. have since tried the
above, and always with certain good effect.
