Bread out West.

IL our Western fricuds can in any way
teach their wives daughters, or cooks to
keep the pearl.ash out of their bread

low children, who arc supposed to be
turned yellow by the fever and aguc, bill.
lious feyers, DC, &c--will soon be re-
turned white. II is great mistake to
suppose that the yellow countenances OF
the West come from bile, when it is only
tho enormous quantities Of pcarl-ash eaten
in the bread, that is reflected through
the skin.
Bread is the staff Of life, it is said, and
so it is, but it is the staff Of death, too, in
this country. Bad bread kills about rs
many people here as bad rum. So many
people eat poisonous pcarl-ash for bread,
that they die Of it by inches. Dyspep-
sia,-that great monster disease Of our
country-that dcranges the liver, brings
on costiveness, and thus, finally, what kills
the human victim is, half the time, "Pearl-
ash" ......
Here in the East--out Of New England
we have nearly driven off the pearl
ash saiGratus cooks, but not altogether.
Pcarl.ash lives here yet in bread, but in
the cities and towns We have whipped
out the murderes. In the distant West

hotels of the lakes, and on the Rivers
Pearlasll, however. under tho name Of sal
Gratus, is King. 1t is pearlash for break
pcarlash for dinner, and pcarlash
for supper. 1t is not any wonder then
that white people East turn yellow West,

One morning Of the fret sad Fall,

They heard the air above them famed,
A light step On the sward,
And lo they saw before them stand
The angel Of the Lord
Behind them smiling in the morn,
Their forfeit garden lay;
Before them, wild with rock and thorn
The dcserI stretched away.
She, blu>hing in her fs.Ieaf sui
For the chssts garb Of old
lie, sighing o'sr his bitter fruit
For Edrn's grapes or gold.
I" dris- !" he said, ''why look behind
When hope is all before,
Aud patient hand aud willing mind
Your loss may yet restore
IL leave with You spell whose power
Can make the desert glad,
Aud call around YOU aui, aud flower
As fair as Eden had.

The curse from of your soil
Your very doom shall seem gih,
Your loss a gain through Toll.

To labor a. to play"
While beamidg over Elen's trees
The angel pIs,el away.
