day. 81 like, sir, replied Mr.. Morris,
that kind of preaching which drives a
man into the corner of the pew, and

AN ALTERATION.
! When Mike was counting Kitty Mill,
He begged-as lovers often will
In accents softly spoken,
That she one lock of golden hair
From her fair head to him would spare
BY way of a love token.
Now Mike and Kit are man and wife
Their courting's turned to married strife,
/ And sad difference makes it;
Though still attracted by her hair,
He ne'er now begs lock she'll spare,
! But out IN bandfulS takes 1T

A New YORK paper says ga Virginia
sculptor is to make bust of Captain
John Smith," 1t is really curious what
liking these Virginia artists have for
| this subject. Over two hundred years
ago, Virginian named Pow Hatton
attempted to bust Captain Smith, and
had the advantage of later artists, as he
was to take the subject from life. Still,
we shall be glad to see the last Virginia
sculptor succeed.

opinion he was filter for the steeple.
THE coast of North America, for
1,700 miles from Virginia to the Mis-
sissippi, is fringed with pine barrens
$50 miles wide, and when the trees are
cut down fer the expectation OF their
infammable products from the port OF
Wilmington, zines may spring again on
the best of the bad soils but in gen.
eral the scrub oak is the succession
plant. Towards the outfall of the river,
where magnificent mixed forests OF
liquidamber, elm, ash, white and red
oak, cherry, magnolia, mulberry and
wild grape have been felled, and the
land scorged by corn and cotton and
tl4en abandoned to nature, the pine and
scrub oak, trees of poor soils, have
sprung up. But when the land was left
unscorged, the mixed forest again
clothed the bare earth.
AN English company has just been
organized to import cattle from the
United States on an extensive scale.
