There was sorrow there, and tears were

ner of the room but the little sufferer
was still; its young spirit was just on the
verge of departure. The mother was
bending over it in all the speechless yearn-

its pillow, and, with the other. uncon-
sciously drawing the little dying girl closer
and closer to her bosom. Poor thing!
in the bright and dewy morningit had fol-
lowed out behind its father into the field;
and, while he was there engaged in his
labor, it had patted around among the
meadow flowers, and had stuck its bosom
full. all its FURNISHED tresses, with carmina
and lilytinted things; and, returning tired
to its farther's side, he lifted it upon the
loaded cart; but a stone in the road had
shaken it from its seat, and the ponderous.
ron-rimmed wheels had ground it down
into the very cart path-and the little
crushed creature was dying,
We had all gathered up closely to its
bedside, and where hanging over the
young one to see if it yet breathed, when
slight movement came over its lips, and
its eyes partly opened. There was no
voice, but there was something beneath
its eyelids which a mother could alone in-
terpret. Its lips trembied again, and we
all held our breath-its eyes opened a
I little further, and then we heard the depart
ing spirit whisper in that ear which touch.
ed those ashv lips: "Mother! mother
don't let them carry me away down to the
dark, cold graveyard, but bury me in the
garden-in the garden. mother"
A little sister, whose eyes were raining
down with melting of the heart; had crep'
up to the bedside, and taking up the hand

UsE OF BoNEs.-Some twenty years
since, at the suggestion Of the late Judge
BuEL, gentleman of this city put up
mill grinding bones for manure. The
farmers, however, failed to avail themselvs
Of its advantages, and a larger portion Q
the bones were shipped to England for the
use Of the British farmers. Within the
last few years, however,, change has &C.
CURED. The demand for bone-dust has
been steadily increasing: and with all MS
efforts, Mr.. Couison, the proprietor OF the
bone.mill in this city. has been unable I"
supply the orders he has received, although
he succeeded the past year in grinding
over $4,000 bushels. Most Of this. we
learn is shipped to Philadelphia, Baltimore
and other Southern cities.-Country gen
