Whom FIRST we love- you know, we seldom wed.
Time rules us all. And lite, indeed, is not
The thing We planned II out ere hope was dead;
And then We women cannot choose our lot.

Much given away which IL were sweet TO keep.

And yet know the Shepherd loves His sheep.
My little boy begins TO babble now
Upon my knee his earliest infant prayer; Is
He has his fathers eager eye, know,
And they say, too, his mothers sunny hair.
But when he sleeps and smiles upon my knee,
And can feel his light breath come and 20,
think Of one-Heayen help and pity me-
Who loved me, and whom loved long ago.
Who might have been-ah! what I dare not think.
We all are changed. God judges for us best.
God help us do our duty, and not shrink,
And trust in Heaven humbly for the rest.
But blame us women not, If some appear
Too cold at times, and some too gay and light;
Some griefs gnaw deep, some woes are bard to bear
Who knows the pasti and who can judge us right!
All, were we judged by what We might have been,
And not by what we are-too apt TO fall!
My little chid-he sleeps and smiles between
These thoughts and me. In Heaven we shall

Ghosts.

There is curiots case related of d
man who was a well known character.
and man of sense, where it was said
he used to see number of people in
the room with him. Now he himself
has described the whole of the phe-
nonienon, and all the adjuncts to it,
He said, after taking a cup of coffee
'or tea, or so on, they came into bis
room in great numbers; and as he got
better, and less nervous, he has only
seen the arms or legs of the persons,
without seeing any other part of them.
Now this is all an irregular action of
the retiha Of tic eye:
A gentleman sitting in his library
one day, reading or writing, on turu-
ing round his head, saw, sitting in
chair, a woman in a red cloak. And
he said ~
""How came you here, good woman 2"
The woman said nothing. ae...
What is the meaning of your be-
ing here, woman ?"
No answer was made.
y"Iou have no right to be here; go
out Of the, ROOM"
She took no notice of him
he got up and rang the bell foy the
servant. The servant came in.
"Tyrn this woman out" ou

The Dukes MittenS.

In the winter of 1S47, says the author
of "reminiscences of Fifty Years." the
wife of an industrious blacksmith in Es-
sex resolved to knit pair of mittens for
the Duke of Wellington, as she had to
ask his Grace favor, to which the gift
was to be Introductory.
The mittens were received ut Apsley
House, and the Duke wore them the
same day at the Horse Guards, showing
them, with smile, to his military col
leagues there, and desiring that the
honest danes request might be imme-
diately attended to. She stated that her
husband had been one of his Grace's SOL
diers, and that he had had the misfor-
tune Of losing his Waterloo medal, which
he had always worn on the anniversary
of his marriage. She stated that this
anniversary was again approaching, and
that she would ever feel deeply grateful
if the Duke would allow another medal
to be issued, as the loss had seriously af-
fected her husbands spirits. She would
only further trespass on his Grace so far
as to solicit that the medal should be
sent to her privately, as she wrote with
out her husbands knowledge, and wished
to give her partner an agreeable sur
prise on the arrival of the wedding-day.
This was speedily approaching. The
Duke had ordered that her request
should be attended to, but the poor wife
had received no medal. She accordingly
ventured to address second letter to
the Duke this was soon known at the
Horse Guards. His Grace arrived there
one morning in towering passion,
dashed the letter down on the table, and
demanded to know why his orders had
been neglected. The matter had been
overlooked. An instant reference was
made to gentleman in Essex, who in
quired if the claim was correct one
this proving to be the case, the medal
was dispatched without delay, but
whether in time for the nuptial day is
uncertain.

The ClIildren's Land.

One of the first things that strikes the
attention of an American in Germany,
when he begins to get a little insight
into the life of the people, (says DIR.
Hurst, in The MethOdist,) is the equality
and sympathy existing between parents
and children. In no country do parents
take more pains, and likely not so much
to enter the very hearts and lives of
their children than here. They very
early make them acquainted with their
plans, talk with them as to older people,
never go on an excursion or journey
without them, and search everywhere
for whatever will minister to their
amusement and instruction. In no home
would l sooner expect to find a father
turning himself into Il horse, an ele-
phhnt, or a barrel on his parlor floor,
for his children to ride him, roll him
over, or do with him what they please,
than in German one.-and the clergy
mans as soon as any other. There are
probably five juvenile household games
in Germany to one anywhere else, and
the parents exercise wise discretion by
having frequent entertainments for their
children, and providing everything pos
sible for the amusement of all, to make
their homes the most attractive spot on
earth to the little folks. The child that
asks a question is not met with blunt
answer, but with such reply-as pleas
ant and instructive as the parent knows
how to give-as naturally promotes

Attempts are making abroad to intro
duce the artificial growth of the finer
and more valuable sponges. When the
sponge is first gathered at the bottom of
the sea, it is covered with a black gelati-
nous substance, resembling vegetable
granulations, among which microscopic
white and oviform bodies may be dis
tinguished. These are the larvae des-
tined to perpetuate the species. When
arrived at maturity they are washed out
by the sea-water which incessantly flows
through the sponge; they then swim
along by the aid of their vibrating hairs
until they reach suitable rock, to which
they attach themselves, and there COM
mence new life. This emigration of
the Larvae from the parent sponge occurs
about the end Of June and beginning OF
July. The sponge preferred for this
purpose are those found on the coasts of
Syria, where they are collected before
the perfection of the larvm, transported
to the localities desired, and arranged in
stone troughs and sunk.

Usher, hesitatingly, almost wishing he
could back out of the scrape, and go to
grass himself, but he gave hitch to his
chair that brought him a little nearer
Keturah on the other side of the stand.
"Instead of seeding down any more,
if L had your farm, should put a few
barrels of lime on the triangle lot, and
SOW in with clover"
"That's what mean to do" respond

Your pasture looks uncommon well
this spring." he added.
"Yes, the feed is good" said Keturah,
sewing away calmly in the candle light.
The chair hitched a little nearer.
Keturah, that's mighty fine Alderney
yearling of yours" The tone was soft,
persuasive, and melting.
Keturah Just raised her eyebrows.
"Umph |" she knew what 'Lish was dri-
wing at now.
The chair hitched little nearer, the
tone grew more coaxing and oily. Ke-
turah, wouldn't you, couldn't you be
persuaded to sell me that critter I"
The small unmentionables dropped
from Keturah's hand the audacity OF
the request filled her with amazement.
"How can you ask such a question,
Usher Bates? You know 1 wouldn't
part with that heifer for any money"
Usher had heard that "where there's
will there's way" and another wise
saw: faint heart never won fair lady y
He determined upon q strike. "Then,
Keturah," said he, suddenly, you must
marry me, for I'm determed to get lien
on that there critter some way or 9TH

If 'Lisher's unheard of temerity had
stopped here, Keturah would probably
have thrown the small unmentionable al
him, but he did not wait for such dis
aster-he got up, made one stride oveI
to where the bewildered spinster sat
and gave her rousing kiss on hel
cheek. 1t is utterly impossible to pre-.

self along with it; and he being a gooC
man, who knew the use of a door mat
was regular to his meals, and was appre

Oyster Culture in EurOpe.

A valuable contribution to the science
of animal culture, if we may use the
term, is found in the report of a COM
mission appointed in Ireland to inquire
into the methods of oyster culture in
the United Kingdom and France, with
a view to the introduction of improved
methods of cultivation. This appears
to be by far the most complete and
practical account of the subject that has
yet been published, including, as it does,
the Investigations prosecuted under pub
lie and private auspices in the different
countries of Europe. After discussion
of the oyster fisheries of England, and
giving a description of the different
methods and places of culture, it re-
marks, in conclusion, that while not con-
curing in the opinion put forward by
some as to the extraordinary profits
to be realized from oyster cultivation,
the commissioners believe that, If Judi
ciously undertaken and prudently anu
perseveringly carried out, it is profitable,
and that there is much to encourage an
enterprise of the kind. 1t also states that
Ireland possesses external advantages
for the culture, on account of the feed
ing process being attended with so lit
tie risk, and. thinks that ten times the
amount of oysters now actually gather
ed in Ireland could find ready sale.
A summary of the principal laws re-
lating to oyster culture in different
countries of Europe, with tables of tenn
peratures and other information, con-
cludes the report, which is we'll illustrat-
ed with drawings of the oyster in its diff
ferent stages of growth, and plans OF
the localities where the business of oys-
ter raising is prosecuted.
