[For the Agitator.] THE SWEiIT SOUTH-WIND, The sweet south-wind from the Valiev Blows, 1 Floating the mist of the curtain's lace; Breathing of moss whgre the flow*rs repose, Then out, again, at the casement;goes, Leaving a kiss on a tearful face. The sweet south.wind had. loitered at pi■> Where the violets hid in the wooded glen/; irbad tossed the .wreaths of tbe .hrookldt's spray And moved Arbutus in a-ebatming way, Then flew to the haunts of men. 1 The sweet South-wind had lingered long. Since it left the balmy clime Where the Right is striving to crush the Wrong And nobles around their standard throng As in wars of elden lime. But the sweet south-wind had a tale to tell; Tbeugh it petted and caressed, It told it not on the lily’s bell Thatailent butfg in the lonely dell ; * To the maid pale with unrest. The sweet soutb-wind tofii the saddest talej | As ibfloated the curtain white ; s J Of a dark, dark spot in a distant vale, ” Of a white cold brow and lips all pale, In the terror and gleom of night. Then the sweet south-wind sighed soft and low And left the kiss on her brow, And straightway there stole a roseate glow O’er pare pale brow and neck of enow Aad eb* -*eid- Jam braver- nuw V* 0, sweet south-wind catch each last word, • And treasure each dying kiss ; And give them opt to the flow’r or the bird; But where the heart is with anguish stirred 0, leaven its pain with bllsl. IvT. Stlctt JHtflteUang. In the little picturesque village of Dudding stone, near Edinburg, lived a poor and honest mender of boots and shoes by the Dhme of Robert Kentoul. He had been a cobbler all his days, but to no purpose. He had made noth ing of the business, although he bad given it a fair trial of fifty or sixty years. To make the ends meet, was as mneb as be could do ; be, therefore, bore no very great liking to a profes sion which had done so little for him, and for which be had dene so much. His mind, in short, did not go with huuwork ; and it 'Was the interest, as well as and pleasure, of bis good wife, Janet, to hold him to it (par ticularly when he bad-given his word of honor 'to a customer) by nil the arts common to her aex—sometimes by scolding, sometimes by taunting, bat ofteuer—for JaneJ was a kind benrted creature—by treating him to a thimble full of dqua-vitse, which he loved Nearly, with its proper accompaniments of bread and cheese, Although, however, Robin did not keep by the shoes withinny good heart, ho could not be called either a lazy or inefficient man. In everything bul gobbling, be took a deep and active interest. In particular, be was a great connoisseur of the weather. Nobody-could prophesy snow like Robin, or fore-tell a black frost. The latter wasßobin’a delight; for with ' it came the people of. Edinburg, to hold their saturnalia on Doddingstone-loch, and cobbling, on these occasions was entirely out'of the question. His rickety table, bottle and glass, were then in requisition, for the benefit of cm lere and skaters in genera), and of bimseif in particular. But little benefit accrued from these to Robin, although be could always count on one good customer —in himself., On the breaking up of the‘lce be regularly found him self poorer than before, and what wag worse, with a smaller disposition than ever to work. It most have been on some occasion .ef this kind, that strong necessity suggested to Robin a step for the bettering of Ins fortunes, which which was patronized by the legislature of- the day, and which he had! beard wn* resorted to by many .with success. Robin resolved to try the lottery. With thirty shillings, which be kept in on "old stocking for the landlord, be went to Edinburg, and. purchased a sixteenth. This proceeding he determined to-keep, a pro found secret from -every one; but whisksy can not tolerate secrets; the first balf-mntobin- with barber Hughisncceeding in ejecting it ;-and as the barber-bad every opportunity, as wellasf disposition' ; to spread it, the circumstance was soon known to all in the village. - -Among others. it reached the ears of Mr. Blank, oTyounggcntlcman who happened tore side at Duddingstone, and who took an interest in the fortunes of Robin. Mr. Blank, (un knowh to the villagers) was connected wtth the press, of Edinburg, particularly with a" certain newspaper, one oopy of which bad an exten sive circulation in Dnddingstone, ' First of all, the newspaper reached Mr. Blank on' the Sat urday of its publication; and on Monday, it feH into the hands of Robin, who like the.rest of his trade, had most leiann on that day to peruse it; on the Tuesday the baker hadi it; onitbeWednesday.the tailor; on tbo Thou* day, the blacksmith; on the Friday, the gar Se&ofciJ to tfcc WHILE THERE SHALLBE A WRONG AND UIITXL “.MAN'S'INHUM i — —l,—i f—i i i — ,tt)i — —— —i / TritTrTrTi . . . .

Bobip was soon surrounded by his cronies of of thp* village, for tbe news'of bis good fortune spread with rapidity of scandal. Innumerable were the shakings of handstand the pledges of goodwill and assistance. .The Sheep’s Head soon became too hot for tbe company, tbe vil lage itself was in an uproar; and as halloo fol lowed halloo, Mr. Blank inwardly. “ shrunk at the sound himself had made.”. Meanwhile, to have the truth of tbe statement confirmed, a superannuated lawyer bad been dispatched on an old horse to tbe lottery office at Edinburg ; and bis return with the intelligence that all was a hoax, spread dismay over the faces of tbs caronsers, and made Rabin’s, heart sink with grief and shame. ~ , A speedy change took place, in the conduct of those fair weather friends who had .flocked aroundthe poor cobbler. I?torn being. the ad.- mired of all beholders, be became an object of scorn and laughter!fill, unbble to stand their mocks and gibes.be rushed from thetr, pres ence and sought shelter under his. own .bed clothes,, The only one who stood trite wits NeiJ tbe tailor. He followed Robin ,to bis own house—took Kim by the hand, and said, “ Rob in, my man, I promised you a suit of clothes of tbe best. I ken ye wad has befriended me had ye got tly cash—rand, lottery or.no lottery —by Jove f Ell keep'roy word.” Mr. Blank., look care to discharge the debt incurred tbe Sheep’* Head, and endeavored by proffers of money ' to„ comfort Robin, and atone in some measure for the in jury which he bad'secretly done. Butßobin turned biepself in bis bed, and would' not be comforted'. Three days he lay in this plight, when authentic information arrived of,, the drawing of the.lottery. Robin’s,:number was, after all a lucky one—not, indeed, twenty thou sand, but five thousand pounds. The. Sixteenth of even this was a little fortune to him. and he received it with a sober satisfaction; very differ ent from the boisterous glee which be-bad for merly displayed. “ I’ll seek hane p’ them this time,” he said, to bis wife, Janet— ’‘ except NeU the tailor; he*puir body.waa the !only, tree hearted creature among them ab I’ve learnt a lesson by what has taken pjace, I'ktn who, to trust.” ' / " ‘ ' "Who is Old. —A "Wise man wilt never gnst'bot.

I immediately perceived that the . porpoise was i “ very. rbad.;’’- be was upon' his side, and every now and then turning hisimder side uppermost.' His breathing, or rather blow- labored; andhis 'wo'nder fujfy-oonstrnetod bloW' hole” hf.Bie top.o'f •hla'bead Wast Working with difficulty, 1 I count ed his respirations, which were eight a minute, loud and powerful; (especially the expirations,) reminding-one of-a man snoring heavily; it was quite evident tfaat tbe porpoise was in a very exhausted state. • Now I; as a doctor, could not help reasoning, thus; this is an an imal with a i four cavitied heart, Warm blood, and air-breathing lungs; his system is muph' ’exhausted from a slow process of drowniug in air; in fact, it is in exactly the same condition ss a human being would be half drowned’in water, Seasoning thus, I could not help ad vising stimulants; and, having. gained the per roission of,Mr. Bartlett, we.agreed to give the porpoise a dose of ammonia immediately; but how to do it wks’ the question. There, was Ofily one way; so-1’ braved the cold water and jumped- into; the tank with the-’porpoise. I -then, held; - bin -up in my arms (he was very heavy) while Mr. Bartlett poured a good dose of sal volatile and water down bis. throat wfth a soda-water bottle. I then dashed cold water on 1 him about every ten minutes,’to help the effect of tbe medi<finC. This treatment bad some salutary effect. for his respirations, which when 1 first saw him were eight in the minute, increased to ten, and then to _t.wglvo. In two hours time I yisited Him again, and, again go ing into tbe water, lifted him up while Mr. Bartlett poured down hid throat a good glass of stiff brandy and water; again; the malts were good—the respiration increased to thirteen a minute. Perceiving that, the water in which be,was .floating was stained with blood, I ex amined him all over, and.ihund. a wpuudin bis tail, which was bleeding pretty fast. This -I soon stopped with common salt. Seeing that, in spite of all done, tbo porpoise did not get much better, Mr. Bar.tlett.acd myself agreed to give into another chance; so we fished him oot of his tank, and carried him quickly to the scat’s pond, and pnt him carefully and gently into tbe wateij. In about an hour he got deci dedly better, and of bis own accord swam twice across tbe pond, using bis taikwitb that peculiar motion seen'only in tbe whale tribe. He was however, very blind and stupid, for be invari- arrlVielf thereT** however, hVwascer-i tainly better for the change.-and dean water,; (for bis toll .had now oeased to bleed,) and bis; respirations^were thirteen in the minute, and 1 certainly stronger and longer. I Was ouriaqs to take the temperature of his warm’tothe hand'as it came out of tbe bjowhota.in ft jet, striking the hand like the breath of a human being blowing bard against it. Ajs far as I could make tbe exper iment with a thermometer, its temperature was about fifty-two) or fifty-five degrees. There were only two objectors to his being ‘placed in the Seal pond, and! those were ".Kate” and “Tom,” the two sdsls, the rightful, inhabitants thereof. Jt, was most absurd, to see them cut away in the greatest Olarm to tbe farther end of the pond, tarn suddenly around, and stare np at the poor sick porpoise with ibdirhuge eyes dis tended to twice their size; and then down again they went in an instant under their house, shortly) to reappear and have another long and frightened stare at the intruder. I fear the poor porpoise—who was caught at- Brighton, and allowed, unfortunately, fo spend .several hours panting on ft fishmonger’s slab in Bond street—will dio after all, in spita of the .brandy and water and other treatment. He has bad too many hoars’ start of his doctor. However, the [ stimulative treatment, 1 really believe, prolonged his existence, even if it will hot save his jlife. However, we have gained one fact at least, »’. e., that it is possible to trans plant a live .porpoise to the gardens, and that he will litre out of the sea several hours. This is most encouraging to .the idea o.f Dr, Sclater, tbs secretary, Mr. Bartlett, arid many fellows of the Society! wlio are very desirous of having, oneof these dayl.’alivC porpoise at the Zoolog ical.; and should any gentlemen residing at Dover, Folkestone, .Brighton, Southampton, or any place within, easy reach -of London, be kindly willing to aid in procuring a live and uninjured specimen (I'shpiild 'say tie him by the tail ia-tbe seft when daUght) Mr. Bartlett, or myself, if telegraphed for, .wiH be too hap py to run down and see if we cannot bring bim up alive to .London, in .-the,place of our sick marine friend 1 ; to whom,' in spite of his present qqpdition, WO wish a speedy'tb’covery. —The 11 PROPAGATii-G BV Cbttikgs.— Propagating by enttmgs is noi nearly so well understood by peo ple generally as it should be. • We may say'by gardeners, generally.
