GOOD NIGHT.

Good night! word so often said,
The needless mind forgets its meaning;
IT'S only when some heart lies dead,
On which our own was leaning,
We hear in maddening music roll
That last 'sgood night" along the soul.
"Good night'-in tones that never die;
1t peaIs along the quickening ear,
And tender gales OF memory
Forever wait it near,
When stlled the voice, o crush of pain
That ne 'er shall breathe sgood night" again
Good night-it mocks us from the grave
1t overesps that strange worlds bound
From whence there flows no backward wave,
1t calls from out the ground,
On every side, around-above,
"Good night, good night' to life and love!
Good night o, wherefore fades away
The light that lived in that dear world:
Why follows that good night, no day,
Why are our souls stirred
o, rather say, dull brain, once more,
'Good night thy time of toll is o'er'
Good night-now cometh gentle sleep,
And tears that fall like gentle rain,
Good night, o, holy, blest and deep,
The rest that follows pain!
How should we reach God s upper light,
If llfes long day had no ''good night

SWAMP MUCK.

The value, for agricultural purposes, Of a
good article of Muck, is now apparently al
mos. universally appreciated. The COM
mon term much or 'humus,' is generally
applied to .ha. dark brown or opaque sub
stance which is produced either by The ra-
pid or slow decay of vegetable matters, and
is found on analysis, to consis, Of those or
gsnic and inorganic principles constituting
the elements Of plants. These elements are
drawn IN the soil, and include the mine
raj mai and salts constituting the ash, or
residu N of the structure which remain sf.
ter in .ners.ion, together with large par
Of The carbon constituting The composition
of the fibre. OF ell plants, this fibre cons'i-
.ules the mos. important part. Chemically
contemplated, i. consists of carbon, hydro.
gen, and oxygen, and in the following re-
lauve proportions:
525 carbon.
42.3 oxygen.
So hydrogen.

In many deposits Of muck, we find, it is
true, much ex,rancous matter, such, for 10.
stance, as sand which has often been incor-
porated in the mass by the waftsge Of cur
rents Of water, or BY the sitting of winds,
and occasionally other substances, for The
presence Of which it is often.imes difficult
to account; but in all cases where the orr
gin of The beds is assignabIe to aqueous &C.
tion, the vegetable matter is generally found
to exist in a Stale Of comparative purity
10 some beds which we have inspected, the
deposits appear to have been gradually &C.

grasses inlermixed with detiduous foliage,
and occasionally with limbs and trunks of
trees. When this muck is removed, prepa-
ralory 10 lis application for manurial pur-
poses, it should be exposed for some time
10 the action Of the atmosphere, or be mix
ed with some powerful alkali in order to
correc. its acidity, which might, and certain
ly would, prove injurious to vegetation ra-
.her than beneficial. Quick lime is proba-
bly, one Of the best articles known for this
purpose. Wood ashes are also possessed
Of considerable value, and both ashes and
lime-spart from their neu.ralizing power
possess much value as manure. The action
Of fros, is also highly salutsry, and when
the muck can be removed in latter periods
Of summer, or in autumn, free exposure Of
it during the winter, will not only deprive
ii Of its natural scidity, bu! prove highly
beneficial in breaking up the texture and
rendering the mass fine and pulverized.-
Good muck, mixed with stable manure, in
the relative proportion of one par, Of the
former to two Of the latter, constitutes q
valuable compost for most uses. Mixed
with wood ashes, common salt, gypsum
and bone dust, i. makes an active and vigo-
rous manure for fruit end ornamental trees,
and, indeed, possesses hi gh value for almost
every purpose to which vegetable or pu,Ies-
cen! manure is ordinarily applied.

CoLoRED STATUEs.-Mr. Bryant, editor
of the Evening Post, gives an sccoun, Of
the new experiment by au aIlis, Of Italy in
coloring a statue.
'The ancienis, you know, colored or
painted their statues, and this is supposed
to have been done by persons who made il,
their particular profession. Gibson has a
statue of Venus, very pleasing figure, the
hair of which has been colored of verv
light warm brown, binding i. with file,
Of the most delicate blue, stained the eve
with dim azure, with lint Of a crimson
vein or two at The corners, laid the fan,e.t
possible bloom on the cheeks, touched the
lips slightly with scarlet, and suffused the
skin, over the whole form, with carnstion
just perceplible, through which the blue
stains Of the marble appear like wandering
veins. The drapery Of the figure is le(, in
the original color of lbe marble, except The

TO KATE.
Pm sitting in the moonlight, Kate,
Beneath an old oak tree
l'm gazing on the starry skies,
But thinking, love, of thee.
IT'S beautiful here tonight, Kate,
Meath Cynthia's beaming rays,
No sound disturbs the quietude,
Save the night-bird's sad lays.
There seems seal of silence, Kate,
Upon all objects round,
No zephyr stirs the yellow leaves
Now scattered Ger the ground.
o! would that were with thee, Kate,
Where moonbeams softly glow,
To gaze with thee on moon-lit scenes,
Is JOY long to know.
Alas that JOY can ne 'er be mine,
IT'S one too bright for me,
Enough it is, for such as l,
To cherish thoughts of thee.
I'm bending now my footsteps, Kate,
Towards my dwelling place,
There to lie me down to sleep,
And dream of thy sweet face.

MARRIAGE.

MARRIAGE.
Among the msny reveries incidental 10
Bachelors, marriage is no, un(requen'ly a
subject Of reflection; and especially with
those who smooth down with eviden, salts
faction, their first respectable crop Of wha, o
more fsssidious writer has termed The ''down
Of vorlity." Being identified with those
who are passing through The first grade
Of bacbelorhood, we are much prone TO
thoughts on this subject. We have often
accepted Mr.. Tupper's invitation to wander
through the "greenwood Of refec.ion," bu.
generally found ourself lettering longer and

and brought US up through lit,le storms to
the Isle of Man, God would bring our lillle
Eve aboard with divine Injunction to love

Early impressions are hard to be obIileraled
and we were sometime in doing away with
this, for circumstances and strange coinci.
dents would often make the maxim very
plausible. But as we grew older we grew
wiser, and as our regard increased for such
beings as wear calico, so was our in,eres
heightened in the contemplation of The sub
jeci; and according to the enlightenment
created by the sunbeams which played up
on us while s,rolling Tupper's"greenwood,'
we have long since come to the conclusion
that the "old saw" was dull when it lei GsI

THE COBVRGs,

Public opinion in England is excessively exasperated

his influence from the roy al drawing room and chamber
to the Cabinet Councils, and with dvulgng TO his
German kindred and friends the secrets OF the Gov
eminent concerning the momentOus Eastern question
He is accused of being devoted TO Russian interests
opposed to war, and very cold with regard to the
French alliance. Ii is even said that this undue aud
unconstitutional interference viii be brought before the
next meeting Parlament, and that the wcllknown Mr.
RoEBuCk is to be the accuser this occasion Prince
Albert is charged with doing all this ii not for the
further ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of his family, at least for the
consolidation of the Coburgs in the various positions oc
cuped by them throughout Europe.
These Coburgs are petty princes belonging to the in
Vulnerable sprouts of German ruling families who trace
back their common origin to Wittkind the Saxon for
long years an undaunted antagonist of Charemagne.
Their principal branch is now fixed among the green
hills extending both sides othe Thuringan forest in
the Dukedom Of Coburg and Gotha which rules the
elder brother of the accused Prince Consort This
arcby Is composed Of about lS5 square miles Of land
with some $50 600 inhabitants. The yearly revenues
Of the State amount to $3.50 600, with a promising
yearly deficit, and an old debt of Sl,70O000. The
military force consists Of from fifteen hundred to two
thousand men, The country is generally fertile well
wstered and cultivated. The Cobures were once
rather waTlke race and one OF them was dis in
