Thou lingering star with less'ning ray,
That lov'st to greet the early morn,
Again thou usher st in the day
EIy Mary from my soul vas torn.
, o Mary! dear departed shade
Where is thy place of blissful rest?
Seest' thou thy lover lowly laidT
Hearst thou the groans that rend his breast:
ThsH sacred hour can forget,
Can forget the hallowed grove,
Where by the winding Ayr We met,
To live one day of parting love
Eternity viii not effacc
Those records dear of transport past;
Thy image at our last embrace;
All little thought we twas our last
Ayr gurgling kissed his pebbled shore,
O'erhung with Wild woods thick'ning green
The fragrant birch and hawthorn hoar
Twined amorous round the raptured scene,
The flowers sprang wanton to the breast,
The birds sang love on every spray,
Till too, too soon, the glowing west
Proclaimed the speed of winged day.
Still o'er these scenes my mem'ry wakes,
And fondly broods with mser care!
Time but tn impression deeper makes,
As streams their channels deeper wear.
My Mary, dear departed shade!
Where is thy blissful place of rest?
See'st thou thy lover lowly laid?
Hearst thou the groans that rend his breast

The Gar and the Sultan.

Every summer a series of military
maneuvres is executed in Russia, which
as nearly as possible resembles actual
warfare. The Gar takes command Of
an army of twenty thousand men, and
the Grand Duke Alexander of another
army of equal size, They fight mimic
baules-the losing party (Which is al
ways the Grand Dukes retrea,s-is
pursued to its quarters--the camp is
stormed, and the war terminates amid the
roar of canon, the explosion Of mines,
and the blaze Of bonfres.
This extraordinary hut charactistc pas

ten days, and attracts many visitors from
England aud the Continent. If they are
military men, whatever be their nation,
they are entertained at the Czar's ex-

and have every facility afforded them to
behold and admire the discipline of the
troops and the tactics of the generals.
1t was at one of these maneuvres that l

march, and we had taken horses at Sar-

To keep up the fertility OF the land, these
articles should be consumed. as far as
may be, upon it, and the refuse and man

1t is dcub,ful if a farmer can find any
better investment for his money, above

Successful Mode of Grating the Peach.

To successfully graft the peach tree.
has been universally considered next TO
an impossibiliiy but in consequence ot
the ease and success of budding, this con-
cession has seemed Of but little practical
importance. Yet every one, of the least
experience in matter, knows that many
trees where budding had been neglected
or unsuccesslully performed, might be
saved and rendered valuable if grating
could be performed with success.
| am aware that DR.. Page. OF W ashing.
ton, published and copyrighted about
year ago. a method Of grating the peach,
for which he claimed success, equal to
that attending ordinary grating His plan
consisted in checking the growth OF the
Tree simultaneously with grating, by
transplanting or root pruning.
The plan given below is more simple,
and from limited experience | should
think more successful.
1t consists in grating early, as for other
stone fruits, in the manner of the common
cleft.
The side seams are TO be waxed in the
usual manner. the cleft filled, and the end
of the stub covered with warm or melted
composition. The whcle is then to be
wound with composition cloth, TO prevent
curling of the bark,
That this plan will succeed, is demon.
strated fact, but in how great proportion
of cases, experience is too limited TO deter>
mine. Suffice it TO say, that eight scions
set in difTeren, branches of the same tree,
all lived and grew with astonishing rapid.
