FAREWELL. '' There is a word whoso solemn tonq , Comes o’er the spirit like a kneli j 1 Ahd’sadder fhan tho ocean’s moan, ■- Is that low, trembling Bound, “farewell.” It flits across the heart’s green bowers, When roses bloom without a thorn; And ,cn its gay and fragrant flowers, . .■ It leaves a Wight—a waste forlorn. in this dark World we often hear That word, so like a passing boll; And sunniest days of joy and cheer Are ever followed “farewell.” But on that loved and loving shore, Whore death and sorrow cannot dwell, Fond, trusting hearts shall part no inoro, Nor breathe that tearful word, “farewell.’ 3BWlan«a& I Tho Original Good Woman* if , I'M Original GoodiVoiflan, though hot given f to much speaking, was remarkable for always Speaking to the purpose, and never betraying Uny inconsistency or inconsecutiveness in con versation. In'reply to the question, Why ? or Wherefore ? she was accustomed either fo give reason, or to confess she had none to give.—. Her conduct, moreover, was singularly rational, ■and not dictated by whim, caprice, or the blind , impulse of the moment. On the other hand, 'albeit she was not by any means insensible to praise or admiration, yet the desire ot attract ing, it was not always uppermost in her mind, iirid did not constitute her chief and main con-1 sideration. .; In brief, reasonableness and freedom from va nity were the distinctive features of her charac ter : for the rest she was endowed with the good qualities which are peculiarly feminine; But it .observed that bet understanding was of a parti cular nature; she was no fhetaphysician or ma thematician.: she gave her mind to the study of .her part iu life, and consequently she acted it well: and engrossed in itsperformanco.with the htonhdss of the scene, she was not always curt . joying at the spectators. " Her expenditure on dress, whilst She was sin. glo, was proportionate to (he moans of her lami :*y j when she became a wife, to those of her , 'husband. She was never known to bo disoontr ' -ed or unhappy for the want of some piece Of ' dtucry which she could not afford. Her attire #as regulated by her own taste, without any further, reference to fashion than was necessary to avoid being conspicuous.. When, at one time, she' was getting rather plump, instead of pinching her waist, she reduced her diet; - and i one of .the few persons that she over treated with Contempt was a ntodish acquaintance Who re commended her to'“lace a little.” Anotherwas a relation who counselled her to-wear ear-rings. Her infancy was remarkable for an early aban donment of ■ her doll, and for the moderation of her delight in new frocks. All her instructors wore' proud of their pupil; but the least loud in hercommendation was her dancing-master. ' ShoWns much more solicitous ahont-her, health •than her complexion: and for the sake of cxer ; ; ctse would walk bravely forth in all weathers, IdrCssed rather with'reference to the day and season, than with respect to the eyes of behold, ■ors. Thus site spoiled very few bonnets and •Other apparel by' being caught in showers, and such like • accidents. Hence, too, perhaps it was. that she enjoyed such an immunity from .illness; .(ortho Original Good Woman was un conunoniy fortunate in this particular. She Was never known to fhint, or bo troubled with hysterics; and was, ’wonderfully free from all 'sinkings, swimmings, darlings, shootings, draw ings, spasms, and all-over-iahhess. Her ailments, Wheii she had any, wore plain, downright,. une quivocal maladies; as fevers, inflamations, quin, sios, colds In the head—.strange to say, they wore nil such’as. are recognized by the medical facul ty, Otherwise a most elegant creature, she was. .'sever elegantly indisposed; nor did she over :ancqurago herself in the persuasion that she 'Was unwell, still less affect to be so. And on •no occasion did she ever declare that she was paying except once, when it was almost the last •Wproghe ever spoke. Her conversation was distinguished by a free dom ftom needless interjections; from appeals, (0 her goodness I and her gracious! and from de clarations that site never! It seldom related to clothes, unless she was about to purchase them; It never tended to the prejudice of her acquaint ances, nor turned on their potty doings and ai . (kits.

She exhorted him to resist tho temptation; to trample the bribe under foot; and told him that she felt prouder of him for his moral position than'she should bo woro ho a President. “.The thing,” said tho Origi nal Good Woman, “ not tho glory, for us I” His ascent, however, to eminence was a strug gle. In this she did not embarrass, but com forted him; shb.waa a'wife, but not an encum brance.' Never did sbo'onco strive to divert hint from the true and good path for tho sake ofiux nry or ostentation.' No dosiro to . outvie her neighbors'in show, style, and mode of living, over prompted her to endeavor to influence his proceedings. Ho received uoliints from her of an; inclination for carriages and a livery; she was content with his aiming at a comfortable subsist ence and, provision, for themselves,and family. She was Wont to consult with him on their com mon affairs, and to give and take advice thereon in good part. As a mother, she was careful and tender of her offspring; but she did not spoil orpefthem; nor was she possessed with a notion that'there were no such other children in existence. In their management, during infancy, she was gui ded by her physician, and not by'hcr monthly nurse; having, in fact, a profound contempt for. the sayings and practices Cf all gossips and goo dies. Hence, on no pretext was she afflicted by. a craving for inaccessible rarities, and fancies! of that description. She had her weaknesses; bufsho dospisod them and strove to bo rid of them. Except tor strong cause, the Original Good Woman never wept. ■ I In youth she.was beautiful; and her charms, 1 as she advanced in age, wore not destroyed, hut only changed. Sheworo her own hair after it had become grey, and was at no pains to tinker up her. Thus shh grew old without growing ridiculous; and when sho could no longer bo handsome, she was, venerable. Scanty and Intelligence. ' It is not the most perfect in outward form who usually inspire the deepest love.' History shows its that the most lasting and profound at tachments wore lavished on women possessing , hut a moderate share of persons] attractions:. — Beauty in itself, is so’alluring and captivating,: that it is worth our while to consider in what: consists the mysterious and subtle charm which has the power to enchain the heart, in. spite of the eye’s criticism. Women have, in.all ages, regarded beauty as the most effectual weapon to conquer and subdue man; and the desire to possess if, wobeg to suppose; results not from; . any passion for domination, blit from laudable desire to influence him for his.own Comfort and happiness. However this may be, well-inten tioned or not, their solicitude for. the possession' of beauty has induced women of all times and. .nations fo sparch after those things which.seem i to offer a chance ot concealing imperfections, and enhancing or embellishing their natural at tractions. This has led them into numerous follies and extravagances, and given encourage ment.to a crowd of charlatans, who have known, how to speculate upon a woman’s anxiety to; appear beautiful. It the hours expended in contrivances lor the casket were employed in polishing the jewels within—if half tlio . time consumed in the consideration of a coiffure, or even injtho arrangement of a corsage, were de-i voted to the moral,training ot tho heartwhich, boats within, and the developing the vastenpa-; hilities of that noble portion of the human Irnraoi which renders it the most beautiful and.intolli-i gent of created beings, woman would find, her influence more powerful and unfailing ; the ad.;i I duration she would excite would be'sentimcht| compounded of esteem, and love; and .in rdih dering herself worthy of these, slio would at tain what tho toilette, ’with, all its attendant mysteries; , is of itself insufficient to accomplish'. The loftier'ambition to be admired for the graces of tho nmid, niore than for those of the; person, would suggest the habitual practice of the social virtues-of .amiability; kindness and good.temper,-as well as the careful culture of all the faculties which retino the'taste, elevate; the soul, and ennoble the heart.' Intelligence, unlike fashions of the day, becomes all counte nances; and, sweetness of temper has the ines timable advantage of making ugly women ap pear pretty, and elderly ones.yoitthful, -.... . It is a responsible duty woman owes to her self, as well as’to her family and society,to ren der herself pleasing and agreeable. • Her person claims a certain degree of attention ; she has a right to study the art of dress, and to avail herself of the legitimate appliances for the im provement Of her appearance; but the most scrupulous attention to the toilet will never make her sufficiently attractive to be loveable or estimable. Rich, well-chosen apparel will not compensate for a cold heart; a glowing cheek does not neutralize the effect of a freezing, supercillious manner ; nor a bright smile soften the severity of an uncharitable,word. , Woman is happily endowed with qualities Of a gentle and enduring nature, tvltich are often suffered to lie dorrnant or run riot. Slits is em- inently qualified to bo a high worker of benev olence—an inspirer of high and generouslseriti iuents—an instigator of noble deeds; let her riot sink into the thraldom of vanity; letjier not be what we are (old some sagacious sage defines her—"an animal that delights in .fine ry.” Let her awake to her own responsibilities, rind feel conscious that her-influencej well -in tentioned, and wisely directed, is a regenerating principle; that it is not the well-dresScd beau ty, but the woman of higlr intelligence and sweet temper, who becomes the theme of gene ral admiration and individual attachment—the inspiration of the hour—the good genius of eve ry scene. —Anthcnaum Black Version.

The telegraph, during the past .week,'lias kept up a brief record daily, of the trial at Rochester,of Ira Stout, for the murder of Chas. W. Littles, winch resulted on Friday In a. ver dict of “guilty.”, The prisoner, was sentenced on Saturday to bo hanged on the 18th of June. The murdered man (Littles) was the brother- in law of tire murderer. Littles had not been living very happily with his wife (Stout’s sis ter) and quarrels frequently took,place, lead ing to separations, and, in one instance, appli cation, for divorce,-.-but tliftparlics, .neverthe less, always caino Littles,just before the murder, was told that his wife was in the habit of meeting a paramour, in an out of-the-way place, after dark,—. and ,it ,is sup posed to have, been with a view of satisfying himself of her infidelity that, on the fatal night, after dark to the secluded spot in ques- tion. .' [The prosecution contended. that this story about Mr. Littles, was a decoy, designed to draw licr husband to a place convenient, for despatching him.] Ilcro nt.least he was mur dered, and the body, horribly mutilated, was flung down a precipice, near by. .The theory i-Vthat the murder was the work conjointly of Ira Stout and Mrs. Littles,—and there can be no doubt tlyat, on the trial, that thcory was de monstrated to the satisfaction of the most cre dulous;. When'before the Coroner, and when arraign: cd for trial subsequently, Stout plead “not guilty,” but,'on the trial, as the evidence against hint grew more and more damning, he instructed hismounscl to plead guilty of mart: slaughter, admitting the lulling, of Littles, but not intentionally, nor with premeditation. Lit* ties, he said, had treated his sister badly, and in n.quarrel about the matter, his brother-in- 1 law rolled over tne precipice and was killed. The District "Attorney; however, showed that this change of front was “too late.” . In his summing up, addressing the Jury, ho said : “What is the evidence of it ? Not'a solitary vestige of it. The counsel shows the proximity of houses. Was any human voice heard, in the solitude of.the night?. Where is the quarrel? If there had been, .it . would have been, heard. But wo-hear nothing of it. Had these parties gone down Without knowing what was going onr I tell you, (here would' have been heard a voice. If Mrs. Little’s mmd had not been pro: pared for it, you would have heard a scream that would have transcended all the thunders of the cataract. Human nature is the same ovo> ry where,T’ CO'uld'slie,. unprepared tor (lieevent, immediately have taken the body 10-the.bank ? Everything shows that Ujey hayo, been needs - tamed to such a scene.

And when they' retired to their room, after the case was submitted to them, they, re- solved first to ballot, without discussing'the question. ' Upon the very first ballot, they were unanimous for a verdict of guiltyd • Find ing that they were all of the same mind, it was proposed then I’d weigh their opinions, in order to sec if they could reduce the character of th,e crime to manslaughter'.

An dunce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It is bad economy to use poor harness. The.collar, especially, should always be in good condition. It should be frequently washed and oiled; an'occasional pounding .will keep it soft and in shape. Whenever it becomes thin and broken, pads should bo worn underneath it. Galls are occasioned, often, by putting hor ses to hard work all at once, after a period of rest, as in the spring, after the winter. As a means for preparing the horse for such work, it is well to bathe his breast and back with a so lution ofalum and'wlnskeyt for several daysbo forc the labor begins. It is well to use this preparation alsSyat any other time when the skin becomes tender. .We* have known small sores 10 heal up entirely under the use of this remedy, even though the horse .was kept at work. ’ ■ * .....I' ■ It is another e.vk’llent, preventative ql galls to bathe the shoulders of a* working horse once or twice a week, at .night,- with salt and water, washing off the same with pure water iu the morning. • . When the skin becomes badly broken a horse should ho allowed a few day’s, rest, or if the work is very pressing, the harness should be padded as not to irritate the sore; otherwise,it would be vain to expect a euro. Some of our neighbors use white lead, mixed with linseed oil, (common paint,) to cure galls. And they often succeed with it: at least they get a hard incrustation over the broken skin. But we hardly fancy this tanning a horse’s hide while ho is yet wearing it .—American Agricultural ist. K 7” The world ip lor the working hour; but homo is the placo of refuge.

The Cow Fish of South : America. , One day the fishermen brought us in a flue “Poixe hoi," or ; cow-fish, a species.of rnanatus; which inhabits the Amazon, and is particularly abundant in the lakes in this part of the river. It was a female about six feet long, and about five in circumference in the thickest part. The body is perfectly smooth, and without any pro jection or inequality, gradually changing into a - horizontal, semi-circular flat tail, with no ap pearance whatever, of hind limbs. There is no distinct neck r the head is not very large, and is terminated by a large mouth and fleshy lips, somewhat resembling those of a cow. There brjslle;on'the lips, and a few distinctly I sptutercd'fiinrsbver the body. Behind thehead dire two powerful, oval fins,.u id'jifst beneath I them are the breast, froth which,oh pressure be ing applied; Hows a stream of beautiful white ■ milk.; The ears are minute holes, and the eyes very small. The color is a dusky lead, with some large pinkish white marbled blotches on the belly. The skin ts about an inch thick on ic back, and a quarter of an inch on the belly. Beneath the skin is a layer of fat of a greater or less thickness, generally about an'inch, which is boiled down to make an oil used for light and for cooking. The intestines are very volumin ous, the heart about the size of a sheep’s, and the lungs about two feet long, and six or seven inches wide, very cellular and spongy, and can be blown out like a bladder. The skull is largo and solid, with no front teeth; the vertebrae extends to the very tip of the tail, but shows no rudiments of posterior limbs; the fore limbs, on the contrary, are highly developed,(he bones corresponding exactly, to those of the human arm, having even the. five fingers, with every joint distinct, yet inclosed in a still, inflexible skin, whore hot a joint can have Any motion. The cow-fish feeds on grass at the borders 01 the rivers and lakes, and-swims- quickly with the tail and paddles-; and though tho external organs of sight and hearing are. so imperfect, these senses are said-by the hunters to be re markably acute, and to render necessary all their caution and skill to capture the animals. They bring forth one, or rafely two young Ones, which they clasp in their arms'or paddles while giving suck.

Preserving Gathered Flowers.—For the benefit of our lady readers, we copy the follow ing recipe for preserving the beauty of gathered flowers: Procure a flat dish of porcelain. Into which pour water; place upon it avuse offlowers, and over the vase a bell-glass, with its rift* in the water. The air that surrounds the flowers, being confined beneath the, bell-glass,, is con stantly moist.with water, that rises into it in the form of vapor. As fast as the water be comes condensed, it runs down the side of the bell-glass into the dish; and if means bo taken to enclose the water on the outside of the bell glass, so as to prevent it evaporating into the air of the setting .room, the atmosphere around the flowers is continunlly-damp. The plan is designated the “ Hopean Apparatus. The ex periment may ■bp tried on a sinafl scale by in verting a tumbler over a rosebud in a saucer of water.
