POETRY.
Leaf Fall.

Iedl rail-
Fall--let them fall around;
FALL on the reddenng ground;
Fall. as we fall away from lite's sere tree
Into the ocean Of eternity
Lost swallowed up and drowned.
Fall, though the sun is high
And bright and blue the sky;
Yet every soughing wind its myriads sends.
Falling, still falling as false hearted friends
In our adversely.
Yet while they fall, still fall,
BONNER light than all,
A bluer sheen than yon autumnal sky,
Shines on me as feel thy love-lit eye
Dispel my beings thrall.
We walk these leaves above,
Thy soft voice, like the dove,
Low murmuring, or, as when the woods among
On morn of Valentine, the wild birds song
Viii peIs her mate of love.
So let them fall away.
Friends of the summer day,
False friends who cannot bear Affections test,
L know the love that liveth in thy breast
Will never tall away.
Neverl not even when
Beyond earths narrow ken,
Like dead leaves iuttering in the autumn tide,
We too have passed, our love shall still abide,
Shall have grown perfect then.

To Make Soft Soap with
Potash.

To 20 pounds Of clear grease
take II pounds of clear white
potash. q prefer this to con-
centrated I've put up in tin box
esq Buy the potash in as small
humps as can be procured, and
place it in the bottom Of a soap
barrel, which must be water
tight and strongly hoped
Boil the grease and pour it boil
ing hot upon the potash; then
add two Shaker pailfuls of scald-
ing hot water; dissolve one
pound Of borax in two quarts
of boiling water, and stir all to-
gether thoroughly. Next morn
ing add two pals of cold wa
ter, and stir for half an hour;
continue this process until a
barrel containing IS gallons is
filled UP. In a week, or even
less, it will be fit for use. The
borax can be turned into the
grease while boiling, and also
one pound OF rosin. Soap made
in this manner always comes,
and is first rate article, and it
will last twice as long as that
bought at the soap chambers.
The grease must be tried out,
free from scraps, ham rinds,
bones or any other debris; then
the soap will be thick as jelly,
and almost as clear.
