Farewell to the Flowers.
BY MELESNIA A. CATO.

BY MELEsNIA A. CATO.
Farewell. farewell to the lovely flowers,
To the shady woods. and the fragrant bowers
Farewell awhile, to the wild birds lay,
TO the lark's shrlll strain at the opening day
They have cheered me Oft times In my loneli
est hours,
They were my companions, the birds and
flowers
And my bosom with soft emotions swell,
AS | view them departing and sigh farewell.
Sweet scenes Of retirement, and shady groves,
The birthplace Of flowers, the covert of doves
How oft have sought them at ewes still hour
And yielded to solitudes soothing power:
when the cares of earth, and its fever strife,
Have embittered the joys and the bliss of life.
When loved ones were false or unkind to me,
Then welcome the shade of the forest tree.
Sweet scenes Of retirement, how dear to me
now.
When the shadows Of sorrow are traced on my
brow
How often sigh for the blissful hours,
Like the hopes Cncrrsncu y~..--. .'-a---.-s- Z
day,
They are fading In pale autumnal bowers,
And | sigh as bid farewell to the flowers.

POETRY.
For the Van Bufen Press.
D &c q M B e r.

The woods are brown and desolatc,
Which lately looked so gay,
Fhe skies have changed their azure hue,
For curtains dull and grey.
The birds have hushcd their carollings,
Or flown to warmer climes.
Where southern breezes gently play
Amidst the branching lines
Along the sheltered garden walks,
The dead leaves scattered lie,
And brown and withered flower stalks
On every hand are nigh.
The cold north winds 90 sweeping past,
With many dismal moan.
AS ifthey monrned the fragrant flowers,
With summer breczes flown
Then keep the home-hcarth warm and
bright,
While skies are dark without,
Let cheer and comfort shed their light,
To Danish gloom and doubt.
Keep summer-green within the heart
And cherish flowers of love,
Which wintry blasts, or chilling cold.
Are powerless to remove.
And let the immortal bird of Hope,
Sing sweetest songs Of cheer,
TIL skies and fields are bright again,
And spring shall re-appear.

his pocket, yet how few can tell how
they first came into use. For the benefit
Of cur young friends Of either sex. we
will tell them that nearly one hundred
and fifty years ago, the manufacture Of
these useful articles commenced ia Eng
land They were improved upon in
France, and about one hundred years ago
Casper Faber who lived in the village OF
Stein, in Bavaria, commenced to mako
those pencils which are still manufactured
and bear his name. Since 1889, John
Lother Faber has been the head Of the
firm, one of his brothers lives at Stein
with him, the youngest living in New
York But the graphite Of which mate
rial all pencils are made. was found BY
Albert, a Frenchman, in mine in Asist-
ic Siberia. and the immense manufastur-
ing house Of Fabcr is now supplied with
this material exclusively.
