First hopo alio sketch'd the wave just kiss'd it Then sank to ocean's broast again, As half regretful to have miss'd it, And with the maid lot hope rotnain. Next Friendships name, so fond yet fleeting, The maiden on the sand enshrined : Tlio wavo flowed on but soon retreating, No trace of friendship left behind '. Rove's then appeared 'twas deeply graven On that frail pago, by Beauty'a hand; The wave returned ah 1 silly maiden, Love's vows are ever written on sand. When one by one, each name had periahed, Beauty grow wearied of her nlay.i . Finding that all most prized and cherished, Some passing wave will sweep away !

Although I regret the scpara Vion, yet I am pleased that your prospocts arc pood. You must not thina thai an oe foro you are Elysian fields. Toil, care and trouble, are tho companions of frail human j nature. Old connexions will ba dissolved by distance, time and death. New ones aro formed. Every thing pertaining to this life is on the change. A well cultivated mind united with a pleasant, easy disposition, is the greatest accomplishment in lady. I havo en deavored from tho first to" the present time to bring you up in such a manner as to form you for future usefulness in society. Women was never mado merely to see and be seen, but to fill an important spaco in the groat chain in nature, planned and form ed by tho Almighty Parent of tho Universe. You have been educated in habits of in dustty, frugality, economy and neatness, and in these you have not disappointed me. It is for tho man to provide, and for the wife to care and see that everything within her circle of movement, is donu tn order and season, therefore let method and order bo considered important. A plane for ov crvthine in time, are good family mottos A thorough knowledge of every kind of business appropriate to tho kitchen, is dUnonsablc. for w'lhout such knowledge a hoy is incapable of tho management of her own business, and is liable to imposition tmr Korvants overv day.

Let reason and common sense ever guide these, aided by a pleas ant, friendly disposition, render lifo happy; and without theso it is not desirable. Remember your cousin Eliza. She marri ed with tho highest prospects; but, Irom a petulant,. peevish, complaining disposition and negligence, every tiling wo.it wrong and her homobecamo a place of disquietude to her husband. To avoid thip, he sought a place to pass away vacant limp, where, associated with Ihoso moro wicked than himself, he contracted tho habit of intemp erance, nd all was lost and poor Eliza was thrown on the charity of her friends, Be pleasant and obliging to your neigh bors ready to grant assistance when ne cessary. Bo careful of their characters, and do not readily believo an ill report. Throw the mantlo of charity over the fail ings, knowing that wo aro human and lis bio to err. Abhor a tattler, and "ive no place to tho reports of such. However strong a provocation may be, never contend foi the last worj. Let your bible show that it is ii6ed. Givo no placo to novels in your library." Let histoiy, biography and travels bo read, when time and opportunity admit with out interfering with the important duties of tho family. Be not ignorant of tho o vents of the time being, therefore read some jour nal of the day. ;i.s in hid menus wno may call on you never be coniussd or in a hurry; treat them with hospitality and politeness, and endeavor to make them happy in their own way. Never teaze them to do this or thai which they do not prefer. True politeness consists in an easy and pleasant deport ment, and making our friends easy, and permitting them to enjoy themselves in that way which is most pleasing to them. &ocaK with deliberation.

American Farmer. PREVENTIVE OF THE WHEAT INSECT OR HESSIAN FLY. Mr. E. L'Hommedieu, who lived and wrote, about 50 years ago, some excellent things upon agricultutiirc, says " iho wheat crop for many years in Suffolk eo., N. Y., (his residence,) averaged only fivo or six bushels to tho acre, till tho wheat insect or Hessian Fly, ptit an end to this kind of hus bandry, and in ilia, respect, proved a bles sing instead of a curse; no other way be ing found to prevent tho injury to this crop by tho insect, but by highly manuring the land." Wo observed during tho devasta tions of this insect the past season, thai wheat on strong and well manured land was but little injured, while that on poor land mado nothing. There is no fear of the Hessian Fly, where the soil has enough ma nure and limo to feed tho crop. Agriculturalist.

We happened tho other day to hear young woman, very pretty she is too- expressing the most profound ignorance re specting domestic economy. Credit her own words, and you would beliovo that sho docs not know how a potatoe looks- before it is cooked or whether it grows upon trees with a shell liko a walnut, or is a do mestio animal, fed on corn, and slaughtered for the table. She would have her friends or perhaps we should say hcracquaintan ccs suppose mat sne was never nearer a kitchen than in the hall on tho lower floor: and that sho has no moro idea of culinary operations man KoDinsor. urusoe g man Friday possessed. Yet we aro ready to stake our lifo upon the fact that if sho was not born in n kitchen, she .'Z.z educated as earlier youth she is young yet muc more familiar with the brasses on the area palings, and with the interior of tho stew pans, and with the nshos in the grates, thau with tho piano forto kebs, or with oambrick neodles. Nothing but a ridiculous desiro to mncanl what would bo no digrace to her, if known,, could tempt her to such ridiculou and lving affectation. No truo lady is ashamed of a knowlcdg of the details and duties of a household but on the contrary, would bo extremely mortified al ignorance of such essentials, It is no matter if fortune has eo blessed he that she need not soil her finger's in domes tic occupations. A knowledge of them absolutely necessary to procure their per formanco bv servants. She is a wretched butt of kitchen malice, anil a victim of wan ton wastss, who cannot detect servants in their misdoings by her own knowledge. To command the respect and obedience of servants, a housekeeper should bo to well informed, as to bo. able to answer them up on question somlimes maliciously put. Hnmvo should never long looso sight of snv part of the domestic establishment; and she should bo qualified to orerseo under standingly also. Elso might a man rich as Croesus be beggard by his kitchen, and still he faro none tho better for it. iV. JT. Tattles. Preaching. A parishioner complained to his parson, that his pew was too far from tho pulpit, and said that he must purchase one nearer. "Why," asked the parson, "can't you hear distinctly," "O yes.I can hear well enough." "Can't you neeplaiti ly" "Yes, I can soo perfectly well." "Well, then, what can be tho tiouble!" "Why, there aro so many in front of mo, who catch what you say first, that by the time your words reach my ears, they aro as flat as dish-water." " I must kiss you," said the sunbeam to tho snow. "You will ruin me if you do," said the snow lo the sunbeam. , rj. Mtrali Kissing is often ruinous, - 1841. Numbcv 4LO. GOOD FOR EVIL. A friend relates tho following: A Gen lloman named Thompson in the villago of , recently purchased a honso and lot. His next door neighbor was a widow. who previous to Mr. Thompson's purchase had been in the habit of getting water a! his well. After the latter had taken possession, ho informed the widow that she must ob tain water at some other place, as it -was, in vonvenientfor him to permit her to use of this any longer. This induced her to dig 1 I ; ,i . . uno uu iier own premiiws; in Ulgeins - li. she unfortunately struol; tho vein of water Inch supplied his well, and the latter dried p in consequence, while the widow had a plentiful supply. Sho being informed of is circuinstonces sent a very polite note la Mr. T., informing him that her woll would supply his necessities and her own to boot, and earnestly requested hist to forget what had occurred and use her water whenever ho had occasion to do so. He accented her invitation; but feels somewhat small whenever he lowers her bucket, especially f sho happens to Bee him when ho does so. Republican Watchman. CURING HAMS. A correspondent of tho Farmer's Cabinet gives the following method of preserving hams: I mm my barrel over a pan' or kettle, in which I burn hard wood forsoven or eight days, keeping a little water on the head of tho bairel, lo prevent it from drying. I then pack two hundred weight of ham in my barrel, and prepare a pickle by putting six gallons of water in a boiler, with twelva pounds of salt, twelve ounces of saltpetre, and two quarts of molasses, This I stir sufficiently to dissolve the salt, &u. and let it boil and skim it. I then let it cool, and pour it on my ham, and in ono week I havo smoked ham, very tender, of an excellent Blind Staggers in Sw'me. Th causa of tho decease is stoppage, the cure is effec ted by pnrging. Administer from four to six ounces of castor oil b soon as possible after you dis cover symptoms of tho disease, and con tinue to givo iho animal laxalivo medeclna until tho cause is removed.

The oamo man riding over the same bridge, tha! day year, again turned round and said: "How?" "Poachod, sir."
