call for such a misrepresentation as was
made in the Democrat Of last week. There

Suppose the little eowslp
Should hang its golden cup
And say, "I am such tiny flower,
I'd better not grow up;"
HowImany a weary Traveller
Would miss its fragrant smell!
How many little child would grieye
To lose il from the dell
Suppose the glistening dew drops
Upon the grass should say,
"what can a little dew drop dO'
I'D better roll away"
The blade on which it rested,
Before the day was done,
Without drop to moisten it,
Would wither in the sun.
Suppose the little bTeezcs,
IpOn summers day,
Should think themselves to small to cool
The traveller OH his way;
Who would net miss the smallest
Aud softcst ones that blow,
And think they make great mistake
II they were talking so'
How many DECIDE Of kindness
A little child may do,
Although it has but little strength,
And little wisdom too!
1t wants loving spirit
More than strength to prove
How many things a child may do
For others by his love.

'Tis night-'tis night-thc hour Of hours,
When love lies down with folded wings
BY Psyche in hyr starless bowers,
And down his fatal arrows aings;
Those bowers whcnce not a sound is heard,
Save only from the bridal bird,
Who, mid that utter darkness, sings
Sweet music like the ruDning springs:
This her burthCn, son aud clear,
Love is here Love is here. :"
'Tis night! the moon is on the stream,
Bright spells are on the soothed SEA,
And Hope, the child, is gone to dream
or pleasure which may never be
And now is haggard Care asleep,
And now doth the widows sorrow smile
And slaves are Lushed in slamber deep,
Forgetting grief and toll awhile.
What sight can fiery morning show
To shame the stars or pale moonlight
What beauty can the day bcstow
Like that which falls with gentle night
Sweet lady, sing not Alright
o. turn and tell me, for the day
Is faint and fading far away:
And now eODes back the hour Of hours,
When Love his lovelieT mistress seeks,
Signing like wind 'nong evening flowers,
Until the maiden silence speaks!
Fair girl, inethinks-nay, hither turn
Those eyes which mid their bushes burn
Methinks at such time ones heart
Can better bear both sweet and smart:
loves IOok-the irst-which never dieth,
Or death-which comes when beauty hicth-
When strength is slain-when youth is past,
And all save truth is lost at last.

RrLTN0 PASSION STRONG IN DEArM.-A
late German newspaper relates the follow
ing anecdote: In an imperial city, lately,
criminal was condemned to be beheaded,
who had a singular itching to play at
nine-pins. While his sentence was pro-
nouncing, he had the temcrity to offer
request to be permitted to play once more
at his favoritc game at the place of cXecu-
ton. and then, he laid, he would submit
without murmur. As the last prayer
Of a dying man, his request was granted.
When arrived at the solemn spot, he
found everything prepared, the pins being
set up and the bowl being ready. He
played with no little earnestness, but the
sheriff at length, seeing that he showed
no inclinotion to deSist, privately ordered
the cXecutiOner to strike the fatal blow as
he stopped for the bowl. The execution
er did so, and the head dropped into the
culprit's hand, as he raised himself to see
what had occurred. He Immediately aim
cd at the nine, conceiving it was the bowl
which he grasped. All nine falling, the
head loudly exclaimed" -" Well, have won
the game!" This reminds us of the story
which has been told in proof of the anna
zing dexterity Of the german executioner
in cutting off heads with the sabre. A
culPrit being bound and prepared for the
blow, and not feeling it when il came,
cody asked the man what hindered him,
since the signal had been duly given
"Sbake yourself" said the executioner {;
and, on the criminal doing so, his head,
which had been severed but not displaced,
tumbled on the scaffold.

TAKE CARE OF YOrR EYEs.-One of the
most eminent American divines, who has
for some time been compelled to forcgo
the pleasure Of reading, has spent some
thousands of dollars in vain, and lost
years of time, in consequence Of getting
up several hours before day and studying
by artificial light. His eyes never will
get we'll.
Multitudes of men and women have
made their eyes week for life, by the too
free use Of eyesight in reading fine print
and doing fine sewing. In view of these
things, it will be well to observe the fol-
lowing rules in the use of the eyes:
Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness.
Never begin to read, write or sew, for
several minutes after coming from dark
ness to bright light.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight,
or on very cloudy day.
Never read or sew directly in front of
the light, or window, or door.
1t is best to have the light fall from
above obliquely, over the left shoulder.
Never sleep so that, on the first ava
kcning, the eye shall open OIL the light of
q window.
Do not use the eycsight by light so
scant that it requires an effort to discrim-
mate.
The moment you are instinctively i'm.
PEELED to rub the eyes, that moment cease
using them.
If the eyclids be glued together on wa
king up, do not forcibIy open them but
apply the saliva with the finger-it is the
speediest dilutant in the world; then,
wash your eyes and face in warm water.

THERE is now in the library of West
Point, folded around the likeness of Cen
eral Scott, the identical flag which was
first hoisted on the Rio Grande during
the interview of Generals Worth and La
Vega, on the 2sth of March l846, and
which was again floating from the Nation
al Palace in the city Of Mexico on the
day when Gen. Worth turned over the
city to Gen. La Vega, and the United
States forces finally evacuated the place.
The coincidence is quite noteworthy that
the same flag and the same general officers
were thus conspicuous in,both the open
ing and closing of the war. The relic is
therefore of three-fold interest, and it is ex-
tremely gratifying that it is thus prescr-
we'd.
