A RKBT S. My home is 'nesth the stormy sea, The diver risks his life for me— r see my soft and lustrous light Gleam from its golden setting bright. Among the folds of her gaudy dresses, Or glitter 'mong her raven tresses. < 'ut off my head, and many a one Would flock to see my qreaicet son, And ape the fashioiis'tfiat he wore. And thrill to think the blood he bore; For I am then a noble thing And claim an audience with a king. Minus the first, remove the last letter. And I am more common, hut something better, For I am a thing of use. and even you < lira me for a servant good and true. J)rop two letters and mix up three, And I a point of time shall he. Change me again and I'm a word, So oft among the farmers heard. When toiling 'neath the burning sun The harvesting is being done. Another change and I'm a fruit That even your taste might suit, My blossoms are of snowy white, My fruit is fair unto the sight, And if you will tell me these answers all, You shall have me when I fall. m.

A Mariner, Consulting Chemists, Chicago, all of whom have ana lyzed the Catawba Brandy, and commend it in the highest terms, for medicinal use. Analysis of the Massachusetts Slate Assayer, January 25, 1858. When evaporated through clean linen it left no oil or offensive matter. In every res pect it is a PUKE spirituous liquor. The oil which gives to this Brandy its flavor and aro ma, is wholly unlike fusil, or grain oil. Its odor partakes of both the fruit and oil of grapes With acids, it produces ethers of a high fragrance. The substitution of this Brandy for Cognac Brandy will do away with the manufacture of fictitious spirits, sold un der this name both at home and abroad. Respectfully, A. A. Ilayes, M. D., Assayer to State Mass., 10, Boyleston St. By the same, in 1804. I have analyzed " L. Lyons' Pure Catawba Brandy,' with reference to its composition and character, being the same as that pro- | duced in past years. A sample taken from i tec casks afforded the same results with re- i gard to purity ; a slightly increased amount of the principle on which its flavor depends ! was determined by comparison with former samples. 1 he indications of analysis show that this Braudv is produced by the same process as most of the imported Brandy.
