From "All the Year Round
WITHERED FLOWERS.
Strange are the memories, OH withered flowers.
That to my heart We bring in voorhees, speech;
Brightly as sunshine fails ON distant towers,
And gilds their ontiines-of the past ye teach
For from my childhood and its sunny pleasures,
AS with key, ye turn the lock of years,
lie hit the lid, and bring forgotten treasures
Before these eyes that watch the store with tears
Have ye mirror in your withered petals,
wherein read the history of my youth,
mat ye give back like glass or polished metals
A thousand visions fraught with light and truth?
Again view my home at quiet even;
The sparrows hopping on the gabled caves,
Windows illumined by the crimson heaven,
Vanished with joy and framed with quivering
seem TO hear the murnur of the river
- As it flows on beneath the arching bridge;
To see the moonlight with its Whitehead SILVER,
Lying i'll bands upon the pebbly ridge.
And, stranger still, have the self-same feeling
That traced the letters of my old romance;
The glow of love, DER all around me dealing
One hue OF joy-that old forgotten trance.
A moment since, and some unknown connection
Gave me a strange reality of bliss;
pressed another's hand i'll dear affection;
felt my forehead glow beneath kiss.
Now-but the light is vanished from my spirit
A cloud conceals the splendor of my sky.
How could build on mortas who inherit
The common tate-to liye-tO loye--to die
For they dead, those loved ones Life is fleet
ing,
And steals away the props on which we trust
Leaving one only hope of future meeting
stone for memory and a heap of dust.
Leaving affections like these withered flowers
That we may hold and turn with reverend hands:
And thoughts that picture out the glorious bowers
vi winch these figures are but Swallowed bands

The POTATO DISEASE IN IRELAND.-The
Cork papers state that the blight, in its oldest
and worst form, has attacked the potato crop
in that quarter. The Examiner gays:
eve regret to say that, so far as has come
under our observation, in the rural districts
around the city, the potato disease is becoming
very general In one instance that has come
to our knowledge, a splendid field of fifteen
acres, excellent land and highly cultivated the
crop, on which it was expected to realize $500,
is now become absolutely worthless. In many
cases, half and even two thirds of the crops
have been lost, An esteemed correspondent
informs us that the blight hes set in with dead
ly virulence along the coast from Kinsale to
Clonakilty."
The Dublin Evening Post in noticing the
harvest operations, says;
''llere potatoes are excellent, quite equal to
the quality before the blight; and the produce
is large, although a considerable portion are
small"

Anson kimball had been married about
month. His business was tin-making,
and he had shop of his own, and his whole
stock was paid for, he felt quite indie
pendent, the future looked all clear and
bright. His wife was one of those mild,
loving creatures that hang fondly upon the
interests and affections of the husband, and
whose soul may sink or swim with the for
tunes of the being it has chosen as a part
ner.
One evening the young couple were sit

band engaged in reading, and the wife work
ing busily with the needle.

WHAT USE IS A CoMEr.-Among the
ingenious speculations of philosophers con-
corning what at present seem to be the
mysteries of nature, the question of the util-
ity of comets has always held conspicu-
Gus place. As every one is aware, they
are composed of light ETHEREAL and lu-
minous matter concentrated in one bright
spot, forming the head, and gradually re-
ceding with misty or hair-hke appearance,
spreading out as the luminosity decreases,
forming the tail. Their name is derived
from the Latin coma, hair. S. w. Fullom,
well-known as the author Of some pleasant
books, suggests use for comets in his
/" Travels of Science" which is ingenious
and worthy Of prepetuating. Descartes,
Euler, and many others, believed that there
is subtle media pervading all space,
which they called /" ether" and which forms
the ocean in which the planets and fixed
stars swim. To this media the comets act
as scavengers, preventing any accumula-
tons of ether, and keeping it in such
proper and equabIe state of tenuity that the
forces of nature, as gravity, electricity, and
light, always act with regularity and preci-
sion. In fact, Mr.. Fullom supposes them
to be, in their eccentric paths, the regula-
tors of our solar system.-Scientifc amer

A THRILLING REVOLUTIONARY INcI-
DENT.-At the battle of Bunker Hill, as
the British were advancing through Charles
town to the attack, soldier entered the
house where the husband lay sick. His
wife was young and beautiful, and hearing
the soldier in the next room, went out to
meet him. He Immediately addressed in-
sulting proposals to her. Being angrily re-
pulsed he attempted violence, when her
screams aroused her husband from his bed.
Nerved with the sudden excitement, he
leaped up, and seeing his wife struggling
in the arms of British soldier, ran him
through the body. The man fell back OH
the floor, and as his eyes met those of his
destroyer, he shrieked out, My brother"
The recognition was mutual, and with the
exclamation g | have murdered my brother,
the over-excited invalid husband fell dead
on the corpse. These unhappy brothers
were Scotchmen. One had emigrated TO
America several years before the other.

long separation thus met TO perish together.

STARVING PoINT.-If we can not with
any precision say how long starvation will
be in affecting its fatal end, we can say
how much waste is fatal. From the cele-
brated experiments of Chossat on lnanition,
it appears that death arrives whenever the
waste reaches an average proportion of 0 A..
That is to say, supposng an animal to
weigh 100 lbs. 1t will suecumb when its
weight is reduced to 60 lbs. Death may, of
course, ensue before that point is reached,
but not be prolonged after it. The aver
age loss is crater. especially if the animal
be very fat thus, in the transactions of
the Linnean Society,", case is reported of
fat pig which was buried under thirty
feet of chalk for one hundred and sixty days I;
his weight fell in that period no less than
75 per cent. Curiously enough, as an IL
lustration of what was just said respecting
time not being on index, fishes and reptiles
were found by Chossat to perish at precise
ly the same limit of weight as worm-blood-
ed animals, but they required a period
three-and-twenty times as long to do it in;
thus, if the experiment be performed of
starving bird and frog during the warm
weather, although both will perish when
their loss of weight reaches 40 per cent,
the one viii not survive a week, the other
will survive Internationally weeks

Footprints of Slavery.

The editor of the Brooklyn Star, Yir-
ginan, says that instances of the sale Of
their own children by Shareholders are by
no means uncommon at the South. He
mentions a remarkable instance that occur
red in his own knowledge. A brother and
sister were brought up together till the
brother went to Cambridge. When he re-
turned he found his father insolvent, and
that his sister was inventoried among the
slaves and about to be sold. He stole her
away and rode with her night and day, un-
til he reached the underground railroad
west of the Ohio river. He gave her a
dagger with the injunction not to let it from
her grasp until she was in Canada, and also
his money, and left her to the mercy of the
humane. The pursuers got on her track,
and it was only by means of two fast horses,
the property of member of Congress
from that State, that she was carried to the
lake and escaped to Canada in advance of
them. She taught music in seminary at
Montreal, until she was married to the son
of an English nobleman, and her brother
now resides with them. About ten years
ago wealthy planter of Alabama died,
leaving two daughters whom he had edu-
Gated, partly ina seminary at Philadelphia,
where they had been accustomed to all the
refnements Of life. He left them all his
property, his brothers to be the executors
of the will. They knowing that the IA
ther's marriage TO the mother was invalid,
she being quadroom whom he had pur-
chased in New Orleans, took the property,
under the law, and sold the girls as slaves.
The records of this case can now be found
IN the courts of that State.
