THOUGHTS.
BY LILLY MAY.

BY 1ILf MAY.
Iwould not for the world, discard,
The thoughts that in my bosom dwell;
Their presence seems just reward
To have them kept and cherished well;
Does hopes bright star refuse 10 shine,
And darkness spread her sable wing;
/ turn me to that inner shrine,
To commune with the thoughts that spring
From the deep fountain Of my heart,
With untold joy, and gladness rife;
The green oasis set apart,
To cheer the darkened path OF lie.
Oh! It's precious joy to tend,
A heart that's with such treasures blest;
For all such innate good will blend,
To calm the spirits wild unrest.
Iwould not wiluly resign,
The path that time and change may trace
Though tickle fortune, smiles benign,
Or gouds me on, from place TO place.
II iImust mid the jostling crowd,
Of Lifes stern trials bear part;
o, may their shadows ne'er enshroud,
That green oasis Of my heart.
Iwpuld no, that false friends should blend,
Their early arts with things divine;
And fulsome batteries thus lend,
To desecrate SO pure shrine
As that, whereon affection true,
With its attendant virtues rest,
Which goodness only should pursue,
To make the lone heart fondly blest.
I've seen the careless Idler gaze,
With bold defiant looks Of scorn;
Enough to stnrtle, and amaze
The heart where innocence is worn;
And if with such chance to meet,
A chilling blight will round me cling;
They seem so filled with vile deceit,
Thut hateful, and misguiding thing.
Better to wear an humble mien,
Secure from foly's taunts and jeers;
Twill spread glow whereer It's seen,
That shall remain in after years.
The present only we can know,
Though mem'ry turns us to the pasti
But to the future we hestow,
Bright dreams of happiness to last.
Yet all must fade; the pomp and glare
OF iinseled fashion, time will rust;
The worlding's pride, the meek ones share,
Must all alike go down to dust.
Such is the fate that God bestows,
But though all things on Earth must blend,
How glorious twill be for those
Who rise triumphant in the end.

THE IRON SHIp.-An iron ship, called the
Evangelne, has arrived at New Orleans, from
Liverpool. The Picayune says:
"Her entire hull with the exception of fhe
deck panking and some ceilings, is of iron.
The ship timbcrs, as well as the sheetng,
are entirely Of iron. The knee timbers are
all of iron not thicker than ones thumb, and
SO narrow and graceful as to look more like
ornaments than The solid substances they are
to SO immense fabric. The lower deck has,
in consequence, a vast increase of light and
space, which it is difficult to appreciate with
out seeing it. The main and foremasts also
are Of iron up to the cross trees; the top
masts, &C., being wood, These masts are
hollow, and so spacious that man can pass
up in the inside. They ore used as ventilators
for keeping the air below fresh g. pure. The
water tanks of the ship are also Of iron, and
are situated in the kelson. They are capa-
BILE of holding three thousand gallons, and are
divided into three separate air-tight compart-
ments, each of which is communicated with
by a separate pump. The whole arrange
ment is unique, and the economy of space for
burden is very great"
The ship measures 1000 tons, and cost
100000.

SLAVERY IN New ORLEANs.-The Delta
draws dark picture Of the morals Of the
slaves of New Orleans, and makes an import
ant confession concerning the comparative
condition of the slaves and free blacks.
Speaking OF the recent plot discovered among
the servile population, it says:
"That slaves here should be disposed to the
commission of the most atrocious crimes, one
can scarcely be surprised to hear, as every in
centve is openly held out in the low grocer
les, which in defiance OF the ordinances,
they are permitted to haunt. They are en-
couraged to lie, steal and get drunk, to act in
subordinately and licentiously, to an extent
that has almost disgusted every family sutfici-
emily to indnce them to substitute white
labor exclusively.
1.-The free colored population of this city
is most orderly, respectful and well conduct
ed; but the slave is degraded to the lowest
depths"

Guano and other Manures.

Mr.. Brooks, of Princeton, made an excellent
speech at the State House, on the subject of ma
nures, while that question was under discussion.
He thought guano a valuable fertilizer, and NAV
be used, under certain circumstances. with adj
vantage. But the farmer, he said, must place
his chief dependence upon the natural resources
of the farm or its fertilizing agents He had a
farm of fifty acres left him, upon which for a
lifetime, had been kept six cows, pair of oxen
and horse. This, under the old practice was
the extent of its capacity. He had added one
hundred acres of land, and was feeding from the
whole, forty head of cattle. That is, he has
added two proportions of land and more than six
proportions OF stock and had paid for the whole
from the profits of the land He believed that 25
per cent. of all crops may be sold from the farm
annually and the farm still grow better and
that from such sales net gain of from 10 toIs
per cent may be realized yearly. Mr.. Brooks,
practice sustains his opinion.--Neir EneLand

DESTROYING Burdocks.

The Burdock is sturdy nuisance on a farm.
1t strikes its roots strong and deep, its leaves
shade strong area, and its burrs, when ripe,
stick closer than brother to whatever they be-
come attached, and are thus scattered abroad fre-
quently to great distance from where they
grow. The best way to kill them is to take a
sharp spade and cut them off below the surface OF
the soil. They may start up again, but few
more cuttings viii destroy them. Moving them
down two or three times during the season will
destroy them. If any have escaped till fall, and
have ripened their seed the stalks should be cut
and burnt, and the seed thus prevented from
spreading.
As might be expected, plant that has such
an expansion of leaf requires a good soil and
large root to support it in full vigor If you dig
up the roots while green and succulent and throw
them over to the hogs, they will often eat them
greedily. In olden time the roots were thought
to have some medical properties and We're some.
times used as tonic and the seeds, being some
what spicy, were used as stimulants, in the form
of tincture, in rheumatic affections: but we are
inclined to think the leaves the most useful part
of them, being large and soft; the leaves are ex-
ternal applications to the feet and other parts of
the body to get up heat and promote perspiration.
and so our friends must allow b. saeroLeut match
of burdochs TO flourish somewhere on their prem
ises.
Indeed, ifs weed be only plant out of place
give it proper place, and 1t will no longer be a
weed.
