From Me Philadelphia Dollar Kewpaper,
He Cnuie too I.ute.
Ho came tea late ! Despair had played
lis bilier, scathing pnrt ;
The n aves of bitterness hnj pres'd
Too closely ramd (he heart.
There was no gradual witht-iinu,
Kn brinir with her grief ;
The morn was biht, but quickly pas'd,
The ti j; 1 1 1 wosdiiik and brief.
Nu storm, no stru ;.le to conceal ;
No vain nt'empt to hide ;
IV o dream of cold and strrn revenue,
Nor seme of woman's pride.
No wish to rnntpier -no conflict
Of passion rudely t . ikI
Faith, hope mid hive were hazarded ;
All ventured arid all lust.
Renounced, forgotten madness swept
It's torrent o'er the brain :
'Twas her firft Rrief last agony
She never mourned again.
He came too late ! A fa led fl.iivi r,
A tress of sunny hair,
Were left, mementoes ofihr loni'i,
To stn ngthcii his des-j air.
He came too l ite ! She c u!d not speak
In fond, forgiving trust ;
The lips were mid, the beaming eyes
Were shrouded in the dust. H. A. If.

I. t me counsel ymi then to u'ter nn
expression or do n act which even looks like
soliciting any geutleriinu's htteution. ltetiiem
ber that every rx predion o'' civility, to bo of
any value, nm.-t be perfectly voluntary ; and
any wish on yo::r part, whether directly or in
directly expressed, to make voursi If a tatnritr, !
will he certain to avvakrn thedisgust of all who!
know it. I would not recommend to you any- j
thing like a prudish or affected reserve ; but e- ;
Yen this is not so unt'oi tiunto nn extreme as an
excessive forwardness. While you modestly ne- ,
cept any attentions which propriety warrants, j
let there be no attempt nt artful insinuation on
one hand, or at taking a man's heart bv ttor.u j
en the other.
Bo not ambition? to be eonsldered n belle. 1
Indeed, I had rather you would be almost any- i
thing else, which does dot involve gross moral
obloquy, tlmn this. It is the fate uf most l ei- ',
les that thry tieconio foolishly vain, think of no- '
thing, beyond personal display ; and not unfie- .
quently sacrifice inrmseHcs in a mad bargain ;
which involves their fles'inii s for lite. The j
more of solid and enduring esteem v"U rniov. '
the better; and you ought to gain whatever of
thisyoiican by honorable means; net to he ad
inired, or ft it'ered, for mere accidental quali
ties, which involve nothing of intellectual or
moral worth, ought to render any girl who is
the subject of it nn object of pity. You are at
liberty to desire the good opinion rf every gen
tleman of your acquaintance ; but it would be
worse than folly in you to be nnibitious of a
blind admiration.
I only add, thnt you ought to be on your guard
against the influence of flattery. Rely on it,
the man who flutters you, whatever lie may
profess, is not your friend. It were a much
kinder office, and a real mark Gifric'dship, to ad
rnonish you tenderly yet honestly, of your faults.
If you yield a lutle to flattery, you have placed
yourself on dangerous ground, if you contiuuc
to yield, you are not improbably undone.
Punctuality in habits rarely fuila to establish
an enviable character, and its possessor tiioct
usually succeeds in gaining fortune, and is

Thk I'hm h-Trek Worm This worm can
be destroyed by growing the tanzy, wormwood,
r.r any bitter p'ant or shrub, around the peach
tree. A dozen spro-ils or so are quite sufficient
for protection, and it is Lest to set them out in
tho spring of the ycer. Saltpetre mixed with
m1i at ,ie rat(J (.f lw 0UnCM f tho .rormrr
to one pound of the latter, nnd rpread around
tho trunk uf the tree, will destroy the worm,
and prevent the yellows. Verdigris mixed
with oil and poured into tho holes and plugged,
we have seen also recommended. This i.
said to be certain death to the worm, without
danger of injuring the trees. Notwithstand
ing this assertion, we should be very careful
in the use of verdigri. Am. Agr.
