Yet to the dregs this cup of life I'll drain.
This mingled cup of nectar and ofgan:
stu in its depths all hidden may remain,
One drop of life to compensate for all
Perchance, all shrouded IN futurity,
Some bliss, by hope unseen, may descry;
Perchance some sister soul my soul may see
To read my spirit with a kindred eye.
The flower resigns its purfume to the gale,
Breathing its final sweetnesses ere it die
My soul exhales in sorrow, like the wall
OF some low strain OF mournful melody.

A NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOL
Some years ago reports were published
in the chronological journals of Austria
concerning the manufacture of wool
from pine trees. The accular foliage, if
such it may be called, of those trees
was, by certain treatment, brought
into state of fibre which could be
woven into cloth resembling coarse
flannel. Great expectations were enter
tanned of beneficial results to follow;
but the matter appears to have been for
gotten until revived last year by Mr..
Pannewitz, of Bresau. And now bed
coverings, woven from pine fibre, are in
use in hospitals, prisons, and barracks
in Silesia and Austria; and in the un-
woven state it is used for the stuffing Of
mattresses, cushions, chair seats, and
other articles. The cost is said to be but
one-third that of horse hair, and there
is the further advantage that, owing to
it's aromatic properties, the pine fibre
repels the insects that too frequently
lodge in WOODEN textures.

CottOM-PicEiMy Monkeys.

A communication in the Galveston
Ne,rs, from Texas planter, furnishes
evidence that an attempt has absolutely
been made to teach monkeys to pick
cotton. The writer says he was cotton
planter in Georgia in 1S49, but being
obliged t. visit the island of Trinidad
on business he was prevailed on to pur-
chase some monkeys there, in order to
make the experiment as to theircapaclty
for labor. He reached home with twenty
three OF those creatures, which cost him,
delivered on the plantation, $48, 200. He
gives the following as his experience: i
was mighty we'll pleased when | receiv--
ed my monkeys. Their arrival turned
my plantation topsy-turvy. For two
weeks nothing was done by the whites
or blacks but play with the monkeys.
The overseer got one Of the brightest
looking, and remained at his house most
of the time watching the monkeys
tricks, and l must confess that my wife,
myself and children were in the same
business. Seeing this would not pay,
began making preparations to go to
work. | had reckOned on one negro
managing ten monkeys, and five mon
keys picking as much as three negroes.
For the next two weeks all hands, whites
and blacks, were engaged in the cotton
fields teaching monkeys. The result
was somewhat different from my calcu-
lations. Instead of one negro managing
ten monkeys, &C., it took ten negroes te
manage one monkey, and then the mon
key did not pick pound Or an ounce OF
cotton. l became disguised, gave all
my neighhors that would accept a mon
key, and about fortnight since sold the
last eight to travelling menagerie at
five dollars piece. My monkey specu-
lation has thrown me behind six weeks
in cotton picking. The next time go
to Trinidad l dent think l shall want
any more monkeys.

Whenever new article has come up

and we would not do SO now, but for
the reason that we have in our mind an

that we have tried, and know full well
it's value. 1t is not only dressing that
beauties and renders the hair of q nat
