For the Shirt Of the Ara.


The following verses were written by EMMA v.
G, ON the death Of her beloved Grandmother,
Mrs. Sarah HeDdIen, wife Of Rev. J. Hsndren Of
Norfolk, Va. Agreeable to her request, made
some time previous to her decease, her fas Orite
lynn, "All IL we'll" was sung around her death
bed. ny her children. AT her burial the birds
gathered on the surrounding trees, and made the
air vocal with their melody.
The christians death bed What a scene.
For mortAl eyes 10 view!
Methinks that Heavens bright glory there,
All earthly things, shines through;
And angels droop their snowy wings,
The lovely sight to see
For death there loses all its stings!
The grave Its victory.
Yes, Jesus doth himself draw nigh,
And on bis gentle breast,
he softly draws the loved one, who
Will there hnd perfect rest
AZ gently as the snow-wreath melts
Beneath III burning sun,
So gently doth the christian pass,
When here bis course is run.
Thus died the one Of whom I write!
All full Of trusting love,
She calmly passed from earth away,
Into the Heaven abovel
Oh twas q solemn sight TO see,
The group around her bed
To hear the blessings breath'd for each,
And see the tsar'drops shedl
Yet still more solemn was the seene
For az she calmly lies,
Awaiting the blest summons, which
Shall Waft her to the skies,
There bends above her form, the one
Who through 50 many years,
Has with her shared her every joy,
And wept with her, sad tears.
In mournful accents, sad and low,
lie maFmurs, " Ny dear wife,
Our Jesus, do you trust him nowl
Fast ehbing is your life ?"
oh, what u radiant glory shines,
Upon her peaceful brow
"I'vo trusted him through all my life,
He will not leave me now"
"Aud all Ia clear" he ssftly said
"Your lamp is burning bright,
You do not fear deaths valley though
It s q dismal sightw
And with these words upon his lips,
He sadly turned away,
No more to meot with her until,
They meet in endless day.
Her favorte hymn, "All, all is well
Was sung by children dear.
And as the blessed words gushed forth,
The angels drew more nearl
They bent above her dying form
And canght her whispered prayer!
Heavens gates dew open at that cry,
And ransomed souls sppoarl
oh, blessed sight! They beckon her
On, to the heavenly land;
And In a moment she has joined
That bright and glorious band
Now from this scene, l turn 70 gaze,
Upon her placid face,
But on the smooth and upturnsd brow
can no suffering trace.
We twinod u wreath Of lovely flowers,
Which mingle their perfume,
Above the cherished form Of her
Who now sleeps in tho tomb.
The lilly Of the valley too
We placed upon her breast,
And rs the day drew near its close,
They laid her down to rest!
The feathersd sonEsters Hockod around.
Unmindful Of the throng,
And there, above her new-made grave,
Pourd forth a parting songi'
And then with aching hearts, we turned
And left her lying there's
But at the judgment day, we know
She shall with Christ appear.

BoNAPARTE's EARLY PovERTY.-M. Theirs,
in his history of the Consulate, recites some
very strange and previously unknown partic-
ulars respecting the early life and penury of
Napoleon Bonaparte:
1t appears that after he had obtained a sub
altern's commission in the French service
by his skill and daring at Toulon, he lived
some time in Paris, in obscure lodgings, and
in such extreme poverty, that he was often
without the means of paying ten sous-ten
cents for his dinner, and FREQUENTLY went with
out anything at all. He was under the ne
cessity of borrowing sums and even worn
out clothes from his acquaintance He and
his brother Louis, afterwards King of Hol-
land, had at one time only a coat between
them, so that the brothers could only go out
alternately, time and time about. At this
crisis, the chief benefactor of the future en-
peror and conqueror, at whose mighty name
the world grew pale was the actor Talma,
who often gave him food and money. Napo-
Icons face afterwards SO famed for its classi.
cal mould, was, during that period of starva.
ton harsh and angular in its lineaments, with
its projecting cheek bones. His meagre fare
brought on an unpleasant and unsightly Gu
~taneous disease of a type so ~virulent and ma
lignant that it took all the skill and assidui
ty of his accomplished physician, to expe
it, after a duration of more than ten years.
The squalid beggar then, the splendid EN-
peror afterwards-the threadbare habiliment
and imperial mantle-the howell and the pal
ace-the meagre fare and the gorgeous bar
quet-the friendship of poor actor, the hon
age and terror of the world-an exile and
prisoner. Such are the ups and downs
this ~changeful life, such are the lights an
shadows of the great and mighty.

"sPEED THE PLOUGH"

T7HE Plough which I now offer to the public
has all the improvements which have been
able to make after four years laborious study and
experiment. It has been tested with the best /
could find in extensive travels in the North and
Vest and whether on following Lands, throwing |
up Cotton Ridges. cultivatine crops or blowing
in small grain, its superiority has been acknowl.
edged by nearly all who have seen it tiled.
1t is usually made of cast iron. The blades are
let into the standard by a dovetail, the lower Sc
cured by the point and the upper by an iron
wedge over it-nlaking the bia2ss stronger and
saving expense Of two Bolts. The standard,
holted on the side Of the beam, has three or moro
bolt holes for adjusting the 6eaIn, and q projec-
ton over the beam for Strengthening it. The end
Of the handles and the long Landslide are both
secured by a single bolt to the short Landslide.
Inspection of the Plough, alone, will show that
tits cheaper, lighter, stronger and will wear much
longer than any other and with proper points
and blades, made adjustable otherwise, of steel,
east or wrought iron, the size and form are readi-
ly changed.
The difference between the ordinary mold board
with its broad surfs ce to scour, turning the land
over in an unbroken mass, and cutting blades to
pare off and Tighten the furrow slice, lessen the
friction and pulverize the soil, is so apparent that
almost all who examine my Plough declare it to
be a great Improvement.
The castings of one horse Ploughs weigh from
