With sweet brown eyes and l1alr,
White hands not made to 1abor.
IT'S my delight to greet her
as she trips do:yn the street,:
She looks so trim mud neat,
Each day try to meet her.
Her hat has bright feather,
Hcr dress is si}v|ry-gray;
She nuakctt bright tho dag,
IN fair OF cloudy weather.
Her face Is always smiling;
She nothing has TO vex her,
Or nothing to perplcx her.
While she's all hearts beguiling,
Her days arc full Of pleasure;
All trouble seems to sann her.
And blessings tight uron her;
OF Joy she bus full measure.
Will thrre be any season. -
IN her swcct life, Of sorruw,
When every new Tomorrow

Ah!n no, cannot think IL;
She's like the bNtts and flowers.

NETEMPSYCHOSIS.

There appears to be some discus
sion among the Greek scholars OF
this place as to our correctness in
attributing the doctrine of transmit
grafton to Pythagoras. Some argue
we are wrong; but upon investigation
We retain our original opinion, not
because it is generally by scholars
accredited to him but for more po-
tent reasons. This poet'cal idea is
supposed to be derived from Egypt
or India, although some authorities
state Thsles was the first Greek phil
osopher who propounded it; others
say Pherecydes, the teacher of Pyth-
sgoras, but its importance in Greek
philosophy was impaired through
Pythagoras, who became acquainted
with it through Egyptian sources.
After him Plato assigned it promi-
nent place in his system Of philoso-
phy, and to Hindu writers he in turn
is indebted. He said: 1.-THE soul is
and ever was immortal" 1t is an old
doctrine but not by any means an
obsolete one. The monarch Cyrus
said ON his deathbed: ~ cannot
persuade myself to think that the
soul Of a man, after having sustained
itself in a mortal body, should perish
when being delivered out Of it,"
Shakespeare, in the play of "The
Merchant of Venice" alludes to the
doctrine through "Gratiano', who
is replying to a satire of "Shylock's,"
in the following language: "Thou
almost makes me waver in my faith,
to hold opinion with Pythagoras,
that souls OF animals infuse them
selves into the trunks Of men," At
the present day the Icannas Of Brazil
believe the souls of brave warriors
enter into beautiful birds; those Of
towards into snakesl And a short
time ago philosophical scholar died
we think in England-who believed
in TRANSPORTATION for the reason that
the oldsn philosophers all approved
Of II, and what appeared to them As
reasonable seemed to him common
sense. We hope this will settle the
question, and if there be honor in il.
II should DO given to the wise old
Greek Pythagoras.

PATENT PAPER BARRELs.-The

past. in order TO fully test them in
every particular. They are album

periments, having shipped them
with Hour, etc., to China, Japan,

places, and reports from these differ

the practicability Of the new article.
We hear of some parties who sent
some of these packages, barrels and
half barrels), some three or four
hundred miles, to the southeastern
part of the State, to be filled and re-
turned with borax. This transit in-

of wagon road, and although the
barrels contained two hundred and
fifty pounds each of borax, yet they
came back in tirst-rate condition.
We thin; them particularly adapted

to consider che proprietary of ship

than in bags, the difference in costs,
probably, being more than covered
by the preservation Of the -four dur

sumner. The paper is made water
