TO A LITTLE GIRL,

Who cried because her Father rcould be gray old
man ,rhen she had gro,rn up.
yex not thy little heart that time will spread
The frost of age upon thy fathers head
Will line his brow, and dim the loving eye
That gazes on thee, as the years go by;
Thy gentle love, my darling, cannot stay
The conquering despot on his cruel way.
No the strange fears that flutter in thy heart,
The tender tears that frcm thy blue eyes start,
The fond embrace that tightens round my neck,
Have not the power his ravages to check.
We both move onward to the expectant tomb:
And my decay accompanies thy bloom
But though my form may alter day by day,
And Natures universal law obey
Though my stout arm may tremble in the cas,
That round thy woran's form is fondly cast;
Though the strong frame that bears thee gaily
now,
Beneath the sadder weight of years may bow;
My heart, defying time, shall ne'er decayl
Years cannot steal its vital warmth away!
Fed by thy love, its deep; parental iov
Is young with strength that age cannot DESTROY
Thy womanhood will never weep to see
Times changing features in my love or thee.
Deep in the oak,s old trunk there hidden lie
Buds that have never opened to the sky;
Let but its noble head be rudelY torn
And forth they spring; the ruin 10 adorn
In the tough fiber of nv being sleep
Buds of warm feeling, thickly strown and deep:
In their quick growth, thy fears shall soaced be,
Should the wild storm wind only threaten thee.

VEGErABLE-At regular meeting Of
the Farmers Club of New York, Judge
Scott read a report on the wax and tallow
plant. The myrtle tallow, or candleberry,
has long been known in America, and occa-
sionally collected for medical purposes, but
never used as candles to take the place of
spermaeeti or tallow. IF the subject was
properly taken up, the writer had little
doubt but vegetable wax would grow into a
manufacture of national importance. The
myrtle is from three to eight feet high. 1.

The wax is obtained by boiling the berries
