TIE WASTED FLOWER. I'm the velvet
banks of a rivulct sat rosy child. Her
lap was filed with flowers, and n garland
Of roSebuds was twined around her neck.
Her face was as radiant as the sunshine
that fell upon it; and her voice was AZ
clear as the birds that warblrd ut her
side. The little stream went singing on.
and with each gush of its music the child
lifted flower in its dimplcd hand with
a-mcrry laugh, threw it upon its surface.
In her Glee she forgot that her treasure
was growing less, ahd'with the swift mo-
ton of childhood, she fang them upon
the sparkling tide, until every bud and
blossom had disappeared. Then, scring
her loss, she sprung upon her feet aud
burst into tears, calling aloud to the
stream -" Bring back my flowers"
But the stream danced along regardless
OF her tears; and as it bore the blossom
ing burthen away, her words came bark
in taUnting echo along its rerdy MAJ gin
And long after, amid the waiting of tn"
breeze and the titfnl burst Of childish
grief, was heard the iruitltsS cry ring
back my fiowcrS" Merry mailen who
art idly wasting the precious moments so
bountifully bestowed Of thee, observe in
this thoughtless child an emblem of thy
self Each moment is pcrtImed Hover.
Let its fragrance be dispensed in bless,
.ings all around thee, and ascend as sweet
incense to its benevolent Givcr. Else
when thou hast carceS>iy flung them from
thee, and scest them receding on the swift
waters Of Time, thou wilt cry in tones
more sorrOwiul than those Of the child
" Bring back my fl"wers!" And the Oh,
" answer will be an echo from the Shad-
owy past" Bring back my tlowers!'

To IMPROVE SANDY SoIIs-The defect
in such soils is chiefly Of this sort: They
are mechanically defective, being so light
and poroos that they cannot retain mois-
ture Or manure. if applied. Besides,
they are generally wanting in various i'm
portant elements Of plaut growth There.
fore, To improve them, We must cnleavor
to supply .he radAal defects The first
p"int can be gained by spreading a coat
of clay over the surface and dragging it
in. This will improve its texture, and
wiz also impart fertility. AdheSivencSS
and strength having been gained, manure
from the barn yard may be applied as
fast as it can be procured. An ,ther
method is to dress such lands with rough
composts. Prepare the heaps at leisure,
in The barn yard. The ingredients may
be such as these: ten loads of stable
dung mixed with five loads Of clavey soil,
twenty bushels OF ashes, AMI the same
amount Of lime. After these articles
have been we'll incorporated, let the
masses lie for month or two; then it
"ii lie ready for Lse. Such a Compost,
il is easy to see, will be more enduring
and better in all respects than the same
bulk Of barn yar,l manure. Il will i'm
prove the quality OF thc land permanently
aud viii enrich it with q fertility which
