Culture of the Poppy.

An increase in the number OF aoricul-
tural staples, says the N. o. Bulletin. is
always an addition to the resources of a
country. Every useful production, in
deed whether it should rise 10 the im-
porlance of staple or not, is worthy of
culture, and may come in along with
other products of the field or garden to
increase the variety of the farmers pro-
ducts, and perhaps may render prolific a
piece of soil which would not have re-
turned profitable yield in anything else.

A Tale of "TWa Dogs. :"

The following, which we cut from
late English paper, is one of the best
dog stories we have seen for some time
A gentleman resident in Lincolnshire
was lately on a journey about eighty or
ninety miles from home, and left ia
vorite little dog at an hotel while he Wis
tied another town in the neighborhood.
On his return. the landlady, in dismav,
told him that his dog had been attacked
by large dog of her own, and had run
away from the house. He left, but re-
turned again TO the same hotel after the
lapse Of few weeks when the landlady
informed him that his little dog had re-
turned in the interim, accompanied by
large dog, who had attacked her own dog
so fercely that he neatly killed him.
From the description given of the animal,
the gentleman entertained no doubt but
that it was his own house-dog from Lin
colnshire and on his return home, he
learnt from the servants that, shortl y af>
ter his departure his little favorile dog
returned one day, bearing marks Of much
ill-usage, and after apparent y consulting
with the large animal, the two dogs set
off together and were absent several days,
presenting evidences, on their return, of
having travelled a considerable distance.

A Kind Heart.

o, give me heart that .hrobs a 81
In responsive tone,
Which kindly shares part in griefs
And sorrows not its own;
That seeks 10 shed around on all
Hopes holy light and peace,
And by its unpretending love
Bids others woes to cease.
The recompense of such heart
No language can express,
No mortal man can tell, save those
Who such heart possess;
1t asks not for reward on earth,
1t knows it shall be given
When it has passed to yon abode
Through golden gates of heaven.
Then shall pray that such heart
May beat within my breast;
A heart to lift the burden off
The weary and Oppressed;
Which strives to find, by words of love,
An entrance to the soul,
And then by kindness heal those griefs
Which often scorn control.
They who possess this priceless gem
Have Joy in measure free;
And live not for themselves alone,
But live for thine and thee.
The richest of the jewelled stores
Which men may call their own,
Are hearts that throb for others woes
In responsive tone.

FEMALE BEAUTY. Powers, in a letter to

faverle work, 1--we is an old fashioned body

She wears her hair in a natural and most
primitive manner, drawn back from the tenn
Piles, and hanging loose behind, thus expos
ing those very ugly features in woman
Her waist is quite too large for our modern
notions Of beauty, and her feet, they are SO
very broad and large! And did ever any one
see such long toes They have never been
wedged into form by the nice aud pretty
little shoes worn by her lovely descendants.
But Eve is very stiff and unyielding in her
disposition; she will not allow her waist to
be reduced by bandaging, because she is far
too comfortable as she is, and besides she
has some regard for her health, which might
suffer from such restraints upon her lungs,

Before the thought comes that-he is not there!

With my first breathing of the morning air,
