Ths wife's Adieu. ,
I soar to the realina of the brig t and the liles'
Whore the nanurnera ara aolacod and the weary,
at rest, '
I rife to my glories, whilo thou mast remain
la tliif world of teara, dejection and pain.
And hence th:ugh my heart throba exultant tt
i die,
And rieious of glory expand to mine eye ;
Thu bosom that struggles and pants to be free,
Still beats with regret and affection for thee.
I fear not another more fond and more fair
Worn I am forgotten thy fortune should share ;
Oh fiu J but a bosuin dovoted as mine
And ujy Learn latest blessing iorever be thine.
I fear that the stroke that now rends us apart,
Fruiu the putli of the Christian should sover thy
boart;
Lest seckini? in anruish. relief from iliymair.
The vain world tbould lure tlieo to look for it
there.
But !i ! should it totnpt thee awhile to resign,
A treiaure so precious a hope ao divine,
Should the lights of nil glory bo hidJon from
thec,
' In tho hour of thy darkness, oh, think upon
i me.
Remember the hope that entwines mo now,
Though the dews of tho gravu are dump on my
brow,
Tho faith, (hat baa nerred me with transport to
see
Tho hour of luy doom, though it tares me from
thee.

of such grain, ao that the different vnrie-
ties of wheat, rye, corn Ac, may become (

part of a day bo set apart of an actual ex
perimental trial of the best new farm im
plements brought upon the ground, so
that the relative mi its of said implement
may bo known. This will not only be do-'
in g fair nnd equal justice to our manufac j
turcrsof farm implements, but will at the !
same time, save our lurmers from being
humbugged and cheated, mid enable the
f'inner of small means to procure the im

other worms, bugs and insects, that rav

lew dollars spent annually in this way
will lend to experiments aud important
remits.
7. llinh. Let every County Agricultu
al Society see to it that an acting Bird
Cotnmitte is nppointcd in every township
ami borough in the county to look after
and prosecute at the expense of the So
ciety, every onovho causelessly kills or
destroys or robs the neit or nestejigj of
any insectivorous bird within the bounds
of such township or borough, and report
their proceedings in writing to tho next
County Agricultural show. A few en
forcements of the law against such often
d.'rs in our ieveral districts would soon
do Tiuch good by saving the lives of our
birds that live chiefly on the insects so
destructive to our field and gurdeu crops.

I he particulars of I short and sad lion

reasons) came to this city from Syracuse,

made himself scarce, aid had gone, no
one knew where. The newly-made wife,
the disconsolate mother, and unhappy
family were plunged into the deepestdes

departure from among them.
A search was instituted for him, but
unsuccessfully, and the rascality of Gree

fest when or.o of hii late fellow boarders
discover 3d that the sleper hud taken in

tulouni not belonging to him. Another
boarder, about this time, also realised
that the new husband had been opera-
tine on his stock in trade, and had taken
off a satchel, which he had probably wan-
led to pack the stolen garments in. Tho
furniture man got wind of the traueac-
tion. and hurried off to the house, and
carried his rented goods away. The vio-

tle n of the act of Congregs of 3d of March,
1803, the sum of $15, 300, with interest
from the 30th of September, 1704, on re
ceiving from the United States a patent
and posejsion of the township of laud
mentioned in said seotion of said act ; and
upon a modified proposition of the attor
ncy for the parties asking, on the poyi
merit of the money and interest, "tcf re
