No., to thy enchanting smile,
Tho muse would fain some tribute raise :.
Would grasp The trembling chords awhile.
But cannot soar 10 sing thy praise.
Not the false garb Of ha.tcry's loom
Shall clothe her tribute of esteem.
Not golden hopes gay dream presume
10 violate the much loved theme,
Had independence nursed my years,
And kindly given some noiscless scat,
Far from wants and clam'rous cares:
Far from the follcs of the great.
In some s2qucstered, rural dale,
To count the hours of life away;
Each passing moment better tell
December's night, or April day.
The first fond wish my heart would own,
And with it feel her joys increase
Would be to live with thee alone,
And lose world in thy embrace.
ANA when the rosy morn Of Spring
Should give garment to the grove,
The muse, inspired by thee, would sing
The sweet delights of faithful love.
Or when the light OF Summer shines,
WA, heat intense and splendid beam
Though universal nature pines,
My heart should feel an equal flame.
Or when the sultry summers gone,
And Autumn spreads her bounlcous feast.
Content, with sweet UNMARRIED tone,
Shall melodizc the rich rcpast.
And when chill Winter sweeps the plain,
III hail him as a welcome CUES,
I'll smile amidst his ruthless reign,
And clasp thee closer TO my breast.
And thus, as time and nature fly
wit swift, nnwearicd, volant wing
Wh'le living should we learn TO die,
And hail an everlasting Spring.
But whittier fancy bears thy flight
Why lure to dsappointments cell
Well known 10 me is tn gorgan sight,

the oil ate less meal, weighed the
heaviest, and brought more money
per stone in the London market. the

from two ounces to quarter Of II piut

lager quantities Were used the fat

The experiments with bulocks have
been equally satisfactory. lie feeds
the bullocks oil mixed up with meal
and chaff the pigs have it mixed with
dry meal d; the sheep have split beans
soaked in oil. The .commoncst oil
costs in England about rs cents Der
gallon, and the saving Of expense is
very considerable. DR.. Pollock also
says that the relief to a broken w:nded
horse from the administration of cold
liver oil, Is very soor perceptiblc.-
