oh, none of your boarding school misses,
Your ''sweet, timid creatures" for me
Who raw about Cupid and blisses,
Yet know not what either map be:
don't feel at all sentimental,
Nor care for BYRON rap
But give me jolly and gentle
Young widow in weeds and cap.
To her wonld offer nv duty.
For, in truth, all belief it exceeds,
To find how the blossom of beauty
Il heightened by peeping from 'waeds -
She is armed can-a,pie for the struggle
To her c"p a captive belong,
And the wink Of her magical oglc
Is a challenge to courtship and song.
The tremors Of gir,bood are over,
Loves blossom has ripened to fruit;
Aud her ''fir love- asleep under clover,
Is the soil whore my passion 'akes root:
'Tis pleasant to know "the departed
Was tenderlv cared to the last"
And that she viii not die brok en-hearted,
If should pop off just as fast.
Her temper is never so restive,
Her duty she knows--anda shape
Is never 10 swcetly sugge. tive;
As when it is muff1ed in Grape.
The maid wears one ring when she marries,
In PROOF she all othcrs discards -
Blu, the widow wife wiselier carries
A pair of these marital guards!
So none of your boarding chool misses,
Your -weet, timid creature. for me,
Who rave about Cupid and blisses,
Yet know n.t what either may be!
don't feel at oil sentimental,
Nor care I for Byron rap
Give me plump, jolly and gentle
Young widow in weeds and cap!

DR.. Hull of Newburg has given US q

He says:
They were completely expelled by
watering the plants daily with a strong
d'c"ctlon OF quassia, mads by pouring
fur gallons OF wae. on four pourds of
quassia in barrel, and, afer twelve
hours, filling the barrel with water. The
'ntolerable squash or pumpkin bug was
thoroughly driven off by decocticn of
double strength. containing pourfof glue
20 ten gallons TO make it adhere. The
result was, product Of sixteen hundred

The value Of one melon is more than

We take The following extract Of let

who engaged in the batlle in which Lieut..
NJ. fell.
On the morning Of the 2oth June, Bre-

about 60 dragoons there being no dra-
goon officers ON duty at the post) started
in pursuit Of the party of Apaches. whose
trail had been seen the day before a short
distaucs from The post. After hard and
vigorous trail the command came in sight
ON the 3Oth. Capt Sykes sent Lieut..
Maxwell with 20 dragoous, up preciPi-
tate "mesa." or small mountain, TO cut of
the retreat Of band Of about 20 Indians
who were attempting to grain difficult
and almost impregnable passes Of the
mountains, Lieut.. Maxwell being well
mounted, charged at the head Of bis men
TO cut of the enemy ere they could pass

ly, possibly from being better mounted,
himself and one sergeant and two men

some few moments ere the rest Of his
troops had closed up. As soon As Lieut.
Maxwell, who was ahead with his three
men, arrived at the above mentioned place
the Indians showed themselves above, and
commenced deadly discharge Of arrows
Lieut. Maxwell, with revolver in hand

aud unless he responds to our cali, male

one neither to be sough for nor refused.

on the Nebraska storm. the raven Of fanat-
acism invaded its graceful columns, and
croaked in dismal notes the old malsdic-
tons spd falsehoods Of Abolition.
