S& ft. -Mi, From the Wilmington Advertiser. The following stanzas were the last effort of the I arte iMr. Ellen wood. They were written on the evening of the 2Gth tilt, and four or five hours only, before his fatal attack. His playful fancy was then in one of its gayest moods, and had small presage of the withering blat, that was so soon to fade its brightness, and shiver his intellect to atoms. Little, little, alas! did he think when tracing these sportive lines, that he, himself, would in so short a time, exemplify the truth of the sentiment, 'There's nothing un changing below.' OLD BACHELOR'S LAMENT, inscribed to the Editor of the Oxford Examiner. The approach of age. 'Tis a fact that I cannot deny, Though deny it I would if! could, "Well, how many Gods are there!' "How many! why I don't rightly know; dares de got of Jucob, and de got of A braham, and dc got of Isaac, and a great many more; about twenty altogeder." "You had better study your bible a lit tle longer, I can't take you into 'the church vet." Hansleft the Dominie, and on his way home met Yerry. "Turn hack, Yerry, you can't get in upon de church." "Why, what's de matter Hans!" 'Why do Dominie will ax you so ma ny tings whfil you don't. know: now, how many Gots be dare, Yerryl" 44 Why one."

Sweet, if by toil he earns his bread; He knows not half the cares and dread Which agitate the weak man's mind And make him watch and weep; But, casting sorrow to the wind, Sweet is the farmer's sleep! Refreshing are his dream?, No tantalizing scenes of wealth, Mock him possessed of ease and health, He fears no murderers, storms nor f;rc, The weak man's mighty themes; But innocence and pence inspire His light and pleasant dreams. And when the cheerful morn The watchful cock proclaims aloud, Light by his slumbers, as a cloud, Reflected by the noon day sun, On ivings of light is borne, No head ache vils, in mantly dun, The farmer's happy morn. 0 bless my sweet repose! When toils invite my limbs to rest, May no false horrors harm my Test, Breathe thro' my lips thy kindest dreams, My willing eyelids close, And as the farmer's seems, I3e such my calm repose. Anecdote of two Dutch men. Jans Vauderpeh was a good honest old Dutch man, and some years si nee lived near the head of the Mohawk river. Jlaris had tor a loner time been ttllcitig about joining the church, or as he expressed it, being "taken in upon de church;" accor dingly he took occasion to stop at the parsons on Sunday, on the road to church, and communicated to him his intention. The Dominie expressed great satisfac tion, and appointed a day for Hans to vi sit him, so that lie could examine him as to his knowledge of scripture. During service Hans wore a most becoming look of gravity, and expressed to some one near him that he felt already that he was an altered man. On the road home, Hans fell in with one of his neighbors, Yerry Van Cleck to Yerry he related what had passed be tween him and the Dominie, and they a ped that they would go together and both get "taken in upon de church." When the appointed day came, Yerry did not arrive in time, and Hans wcnt 0Jff t0 the Dominie alone. "Well, Dominie," said Hans, "I've come to be taken in upon de churVh " "Have you studied your bible, Hans''" asked the Dominie. . "Yaw," replied Hans, "from de pecin nmg to de end. v b Kentucky.

Neic Potato. A plant, called the oz alis crcnata, has lately been introduced .into England from South America, and promises to be extensiveycultivateii,as de cidedly preferable to the common potato. Newspapers. A writer in the January number of the London Metropolitan fur nishes an article on the Newspaper press of that city, which discloses miny truths not very creditable to the political honesty of those who control them, and which throw the comparatively petty inconsist encies and tergiversations of American Editors which sometimes "astonish the natives," entirely in the shade. The most singular of these is the fact, that four of the most prominent political jour nals in Londonthe Morning Chronicle, the Observer, the Englishman, and Bell's Life in London, are solely owned by one individual, but have always been bitterly opposed to each other in politics some times changing sides, but always at en mity.
