Jn artless youth, when Love was Truth,
1 felt its sweetest power for thee,
Nor will it change to passions llame,
Eut ever pure and hallowed be.
When we played in our native glade,
Or sat beside that ancient tree,
With thee alone in a trembling lone,
I told my parly love to thee.
As now I stand on a foreign strand,
Beside the plorious sea,
Its rriijrhfy sound so deep piofound,
But makts n.y youthful love for thee.
Can cooling age or wildest rage
Of proud Ambition drive from me ?
Or bands dissever? I'll love forever,
And cherish love alone lor thee.
No golden prize or golden eyes,
Hiall ever win this love from me,
I'll scorn the treasure and fill the measure
Ol love, pure love alone for thee.
Low-browed shame, and sharp-tongued blame
Has driven thy early love from me,
And while 1 roam without a heme,
Alas! I am forgot by thee.
A few short years ol bitter tears,
And 1 perhaps no more will be,
Oh ! then you will remember still,
My life, was only love frcm thee.

From the Southern Agriculturist.
GARDEIE It S C A L f ;.M) Eft FOR n A Y.
The destructive frosts of the first of the past
month, m.-ide it neccsnry to plant over many
crops, and ihe caretil and attentive gardener was
soon able to ascertain the st ite of the first plant
ing ol be.ins melons, cucumbers and squashes, in
order to make up for dericiences, fiom 'allures, be
fore the season was too fir advanced. The prin
cianl sowioc season, for ceneral erotis. mav lie
r f ' ci ' ,
j r .rsiderptl as pas! ; but there are many hinds of
! srf which may soil lie sown this month. Cab
j faffe sed may still be sown, to raise plan's for the
principal tall tru winter crop, por this purpose,
we pr ff iVrgen's Lat Flat Dutch, as the best
art fy , but hen this cannot be ob ntin d, i v,
ble, on the South by Sore shins, and on the West
by Vexation."
" What are its chief producls?"
"Peevish babies, scolding wives, henpecked
husbands, smoked coffee, burnt ham and sour
pies."
" What is said of its climate ?"
" It has a variant temperature than that of any
other state in existence. In that portion of it cal
led the Honey-moon the climate is salubrious and
healthy the atmosphere laden with ihe sweets ol
the flowers of Hymen. In some parts the inhabi
tants experience a freezingly cold reception when
they expect most warmth and in some other parts
there is nil the burning Fensation of the torrid
zone. Sometimes a fellow's house in the slate ol
matrimony gets too hot to hold him, and strange
to say he travels with all speed not to, but from
the poles, where cold is generally supposed to
exist."
" Sarah, has John given a correct outline of ihe
State of matrimony T
' Can't say sir; I never was in that State. Bill
Simpkins gave me an invitation the other day to
travel in it with him, and when I return J will
answer the question."
" Well, Sarah, as you seem to be ignorant in
Geography, I will examine a ou in Grammar.
Take the sentence, ' marriage is a civil contract.'
Parse marriage1
" Marriage is a noun, because it's a name.
And though Shakspenre asks what's in a name
and say s that a rose by any other name would
smell as sweet, yet marriage being a noun, and
therelore a name, shows that by the rule establish
ed by a bard of Avon has at least one exception.
ror marriage certainly is ol very great importance,
and being a noun, and therefore a name, Ergo
there is something in a name.
" Good ! Well, what is the case of mar
riage ?"
" Don't know sir."
" Decline it and see."
' Don't feel at liberty to decline marriage after
having made IJill the promise I have. Had rather
conjugate."
" Jane, can you tell Sarah in what case war-

That is all.

2. The world will go on without ns. Wre may
have thought a very important wheel in the great
rrvafetunary will be ungeared when we are "one.
I5ut ihe world goes clattering on as if nothing
had happened. If we filled important stations in
society if we have wondered what would or
could be done, if we were removed vet how soon
others will fill cur stations! The world wi'l be a
bustling active world will be a bustling active
worid without us. It was so before we entered it.
It will be so when we are cne.
3. When we are dead, affection may erect a
monument. But the head that sets it up will soon
be as powerless as ours, and for the ame cause.
How soon they mat weep over us will follow us !
The monument itself will crumble, and it w ill fail
on the dust that covers us. If the rharbfc or ihe
granite long endures, yet the ees of affection will
not endure to read the graven letters. Men will
give a glance at the name of one they never knew,
and pass on, with not a thought of the slumbeier
below.
On my grassy grave
The men of future time will cart less trade.
And rend 1113' name upon the eulutured stone;
Nor will the sound, familiar to their ears,
Recall my vanished memory.

the re-opening of canals dug by ISahopolassar and
Nebuchadnezzar, The mcl important fact, how
ever, which they disclose, is, that the eldest sou
of Nabonidus was named Bl sharezar, and that
he was admitted by his father to a share in the
government. This name is undoubtedly the Bel
shazzar of Daniel, and thus furnishes us with a
key to the explanation of that great historical
problem which has hitherto defied solu'ion. We
can now Understand how Belshazzar, as joint king
with his father, may have been Governor of Baby
Ion, when the ciiv was attacked by the combined
forces of ihe Medes and Persians, and may have
perished in the assault which followed ; while Na
bonidus, leading a force to the relief of the place,
was defeated, and obliged to take refuge in the j
neighboring ;wns of Borsippa (or Birs-i-Nimrud.)
