The Old Muske t.
BY GEO. COOPER.

u Nt-o' OOOfEhs
1t has hung for many years
Against the farmhouse wall,
And a dingy rust has thrown
Its mantle over all.
Twas grandsire's hands did WELD
This weapon long ago,
And the barrel is worn with lead
That sped against the foe.
Oft-times did the old man,
Long since gone to his rest,
Take the old piece fondiy down
And press it to his breast;
Twas well-tried friend, he said,
In many a bloody fight;
Then of Bunker Hill he told,
And trembling, clutched it tight.
How his dear face frightened up
As he marched DER the floor,
While his thoughts dwelt proudly on
Those glowing scenes of yore,
When his bleeding country bade
Him join the noble band,
That, dismayed and shattered, drove
The hirelings from our land.
1t has hung for many years
Against the farmhouse wall,
And dingy rust has thrown
Its mantle over all.
But prize the old worn piece
For his sake, who has gone,
And the fancies fond and pure,
That at its sight are born.

New PASTE FROM WooD.-A new paste,
designed to take the place of glue and starch
for many purposes, has been lately manufac-
tured in London by G. Stevens. It is made
as follows The wood is first reduced to fine
shavings, then these are boiled in a strong lye
of caustic soda Or potash until all the fbres
are separated. The best woods used for max
ing the paste are poplar, pine, beech, spruce
pine, and most woods termed " soft" When
boiled a sufficient length Of time for the soften
ing Of the fbres Of the shavings, the fbrous
matter is withdrawn into open vats, and ex-
posed to the air for several days, when it fer
ments, and the whole mass becomes soft and
glutinous. 1t is now cut up in machines like
those employed in paper mills for cutting and
grinding rags to make paper stock, when4lt
becomes fit to be boiled in water, and is con-
verted into a vegetable cement. Such paste
can be manufactured in great quantities and at
less cost in America, than any other part of
the world. Scientific Anlerioan.

Blue eyed girls
With sunny curlS

Blue eyed girls
With sunny curls,
Bright pink cheeks and foreheads fair,
Dark eyed maids,
In heavy braids,
Twine their purplish raven hair
Artless(?) glances,
Soul entrances,
Heart bewitched by auburn curls,
Dreamy eyes,
Bewildering sighs,
Oh the deuce is in the girls
Blue-eyed bellies,
What mischief dwells
In those Chez artless, winning wiles-
Black-eyed maids,
With jetty braids,
All bewitching are your smiles
But It's true,
Eyes of blue
Ever win deceive you--eyer.
Trner yet,
Orbs of JET
Never can you trust them never.

DIARRHEA.-Ihe following seasonable ad
vice we copy from Halls Journal of Health
cit may be well for travellers to know that
the first and the most important and the most
indispensable item in the arrest and cure Of
looseness of the bowels is absolute quietude on
a bed. Nature herself always prompts this by
disinclining us to locomotion. The next thing
is to eat nothing but common rice parched like
coffee, and then boiled and taken with a little
salt and butter Drink little or no liquor oil
any kind. Bits Of ice may be eaten and
swallowed at will. Every step taken in Diarr-
hea, every spoonful of locomotion only aggra-
Yates the disease. If locomotion Is necessary,
the misfortune of the necessity may be lessened
by having a stout piece Of woolen flannel
bound tightly around the abdomen, so as to
double in front, and kept well in its place. In
the practice of many years, we have never fail
ed to notice gratifying result to follow these
observances."
