Her form was round and slender, Her bosom snowy white, Her hair in glossy ringlets, Her eyes "Were sparkling bright, Her dress was spotless muslin, Arranged with nicest care, A wreath of glowing flowers, Encircled her dark hair ; Her voice was witching music. That chained me while she talked, Her feet so small and pretty, I wondered how she walked : . Said she, 111 like '.o marry, If I could only find -A pretty litttle deary, " Just suited to nay mind, I find that all would like to marry, From maid to matron old ; Oh think it not all folly, As you are often told : 1 I saw an ancient maiden, Of an uncertain age.' But she had almost fretted ' r Her hourou 4i utage ; . Her brow waa wrapped-in wrinkles Her cheeks were plastered red, Her teeth were few arid broken, Her hair had lett her head : Here.then, thought 1, is wisdom, Her early dreams are flown; For one she is contented To live and die alone ; Said she, I'd like to marry, If I could only find, Oh, Lord ! just anybody A man of any kind. Till then I was cold-hearted, And jeered at married life ; But now good nature conquered- I longed to have a wife. And so the charming wido -v, Has now my hand and heart ; Her three dears and another Gives us a handsome start ; And we are very happy My love is true and kind , Oh yes I've found a deary, Just suited to my mind. And now ye, pretty maidens, Young men and lovers true, I'll tell thee what I'm thinking, You all had better do ; I think you'd better marry, If you can only find, A pretty little deary, Just suited to your mind. FLIGHT FROM THE BABOONS. The baboon is a large misshapen crec- ture, too well known to need description here, but still very numerous in Kaflraria. They are usually found in herds or troops together, varving in size and number, and if attacked or molested, are very savage. A strange rencontre with one of these troops once occurred to thej author. Whilst on an excursion to Perrie Bush, a- bout 16 miles from King William's Town, j he stsrted from the village alone, for the ! purpose of visiting the saw-pitsr which j were about a mil! or moti towards the j midst of thp forest. Having reached these.'and transacted the business in hand he was infbrmed of a small rivulett at a little : distance further on among the woods, for- ming tome very! picturesque cascades and the banks of which were covered over with a rare kind of flower. He therefore start-; ed alone upon a ramble in search of it, and .sceeeded at length after some little diffi culty, in making it out: Seduced by the wild loveliness of the scene, he advanced further on. at the other side, of the stream. .inn ua ir .fi ,k Kut soon getUng over this, he became entangled i in the bush and underwood.

But this, to his great dismay, was not forthcoming, as they had gone home to the village for dinner. He, therefore, tried to increase his speed, and finaily succeeded in getting well a way from them and back to Piere. ve ry glad, indeed, to escape so easily; and his face and boots telling whether he had been following alter the beautiful or the baboons after him. Fleming's Kajfraria and its Inhabitants, PEACE AT HOME. U , It is just as possible to keep a calm house as a clean housea cheerful house, an orderly house, as a furnished house, if the heads set themselves to do so. Where is the difficulty of consulting each other's weakness, each other's wants ; each oth er's tempers, as well as each other's char acters ? Oh ! it is by leaving the peace at home to chance, instead of pursuing it by system, that so rnauy houses are unhappy. It deserves notice.also that almost any one can be courteous, forbearing and patient in a neighbor's house. If anything go wrong, or he out of time, or disagreeable there, it is made the best of, not the worst ; even effort are made to excuse it, and show it is not felt , or if felt, it is attributed to acci dent not design , and this is not only easy but natural in the house of a friend. I will not, therefore, believe that what is so nat ural in the house of another is impossible at home, but maintain without fear, that all the courtesies of social life may be upheld in domestic societies. A husband as wil ling to be pleased at home and as anx ious to please as in his neighbor's house, and a wife as intent on making things com fortable every day to her family as on set uays to ner guests, could not fail to make their own home happy. Let us not evade the point of these remarks by recurring to the maxim about allowances for temper. It is folly io refer to our temper, unless we could prove we had ever gained anything good by giving way to it. Fits of ill-hu mor punish us quite as much, if not more, j than those they are vented upon - and it ! actually requires more effirt and'inflicts more min tn m th. ,a k- : reauisite to a void thm DANCE TO THE MUSIC.

On Thursday, the' 16th 'instant, while several wagons were passing along the road from Clarksville, some fourteen miles north of Hillsboro', the horses were startled by a clap of thunder., andjcmncedamnjg. The confusion of the moment prevents a clear account of the occurrence ; but it ap pears that Mr David D. Allison, of Person, was driving one of the wagons,and tell from his saddle between two of the horses, and they perhaps upon him. It is not known whether the fall was caused by the effect of the lightning upon them, or simply by the fright. As eachoftjie wagoner was necessarily engaged with his own team for some minutes, Mr Allison was dragged some distance before he could be relieved. He was found to be dreadfully bruised and mangled, but life was flot extinct. He died the Sunday following. Hillol oru' Recorder. THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD. It is an exquisite and beautiful thing in our nature, that when the heart is touched and softened by some tranquil happiness or affectionate feeling, the memory of the dead comes over it most powerfully and ir resistibly. It would seem almost as though our better thoughts and sympathies were charms, in virtue of which the soul is enabled to hold some vague and myste rious intercourse with those whom they loved in life. Alas 1 how often and how long do those patient angels hover around us, watching for the spell which is so sel dom ut'ered and so soon forgotten.

We are gratified to observe that the 1 farmers of the Old Dominion ' planters and are bent upon making themselves practi cally independent. An ounce of hard, earnest effort in the right direction is worth half a session of declamation. W,oo is one of the greatest staples which has been neglected ia Vir ginia from time immemorial. The Nor thern States have hitherto possessed almost a monopoly of this essential articles. What they have failed to supply has been furnished by Spain and Souin America, with an occasional supply from Germany and Saxony. Virginia has stood aside, and seen the wealth derivable from the growth of wool absorbed and appropriated by her neighbors. But a new era has been open ed, and "we bodly predict that our State will shortly rank among the first in furnish ing wool for the marts of the world. We saw, yesterday morning, a sample of fine Saxony wool, grown in this State, that would bring, in any market, from 85 to 95 cents per lb. We also looked over soTe samples of Merino, grown within 20 miles of Richmond, that brought. 60 cenvs in this markeLnegfo weg such rates he could not engage in a raore profitable business. It seems that Le had entered upon wool growing merely as an experiment and has only 170 sheep in his flock. For this season's clip he re ceived about $350. He informed us that he had 100 lam bo for s&'e, for which the butchers had repeatedly offered $4 per head, but that, as they were full blooded Mtrino, he had sold most of them at $10 each, and expected no diffiul'y ; in selling tne remamaer at tne same price. At ims rate his profits for a single year will be from $750 to $1,350 upon 170 sheep ! On being asked the annual cost per head of feediugthem, he replied forty crifj but added that, since their manure was worth three times that sum, he concluded that his wool had really cost him less than nothing Considerable attention is now being paid to the growth of wool upon the poorer lands'of Fairfax and Prince William, and the busi ness is steadily increasing throughout the whole Piedmont region from Harper s Fer ry to the North Carolina line.t , Vfe doubt not that even in the tide water sections of our State, the growth of wool will be found profitable.

I am of opinion that the Bible contains more true sublimity, more exquisite beau ty, more pure morality, more important history, and finer strains of poetry and elo quence, than can be collected from all oth- ti books, in wnatever age or language they have beenwritten. Sir Wn Jontt, I will hazard the assertion, that no man ever did or ever will become truly elo quent, without being a constant reader of the Bible, and an admirer of the purity and sublimity of his language.
