7 wonder what the deuce le
The matter with the Muses,
For every.one refuses
To hear my earneet prayer;
I cannot tell the reason,
Why In and oitt.'of season,
They look es If they'd fretze
I think We hardly fair.
They love 4 enough to have killed one,
Old Monter, Rhakspcaro, Milton,
But now they love to Jilt one,
And make theiruweetheints cry.
At every youthllti sucker .
Their lips In scorn they p ucker,
And shout." gitont Dan Tucker,
You cant write Poetry."
Now I um sure, in one sense.
Come hit or miss or nonsense,
iti spite of connriSp rk
And goblins. Muses, else's.
And know, ye lndshod lasses,
. The Museaand Parnassus
'Are all a pack of nests,
. .And set up for yourselves.
P. B. Now any that eared about the Muses would'lnt
write a P. S. to .II Poen). But I do not cnre, and
',therefore I write tw many P. S.'s or „Any thing
~pee
ne I like. I merely wished to state that not chewing
the Muses molt ettention - for a while "fetched them
.• to," and now I 'can write Poetry in all quantities,
r Dramatic, Epic, Lyrier — Dhlactic, Odes, Bonnets,
Plays, in fact anything bemoan Macbeth and Mother

From the Boston Merchant's Advertiser,
THE NEWSPAPER.
The old Farm house, wore a t a inet, pleas
ant, look, as the setting sun 'gilded its smal
windows, aver which the luxuriant grape
vine were carefully trained. In th open
door sat thoiarmeryvith a little morocco coy

lie was a man of
_-method and order—old
Riclaud Heath—aside from his regular ac
count I.o — oks - wkich weie,koptAv,itti, novo
lous care, lie always set down in this little
book, in the simplest manner possible, all the
expenses, (no very complicated account, by
the wav,) and all he received during the
year, 'in the real metal,' as he said,.‘and not
by way of trade.'
This last account ha had just reckoned up,
and the result waif highly satistactocy, if one
might judge froth the pleasant expressions of
his lace as he turned to his wile and addres
sed her by her pretty old fashioned name. ,
'Millicent,' said he, 'this has been a lucky
year. How little we thought when we mo
ved on this Ow!, twenty-five years ago, that
we shoula civerzet five hundred a year out
of, the,Metii;tirimi •

said she, 'to- see how different thimgs book
from what they did then) -
'Now l'm going to figure up how much
We'Ve spent,' said Mr. Heath; 'don't nia,ke
a aoistf with Your knitting needles, 'cause it
puts me out'
' His wife:flail! down her knitting in perfect
good humor, and gazed out on the broad,
rich fields of grain . which grow so tall around
the laden apple trees that they looked like
massive piles of foliage. Hearing her own
name thus kindly spoken, led her, thoughts
far back to the' past; for after the lapse of
twenty.five years, the sir sound of the
name she bore in youth Means more to wife
than all the puling epithets of dearest, love,
and darling, so lavishly uttered in a long past
.eourtehip.

JOHN SMITHSON,
Despise the nine old Ladies
Who watch o'er Earth and 'lades
And'then you'll write with great ease
And give your genius play ;
The Muses may neglect you, '
But nature will Meet yon,
And mankind will respect you
'For taking your -own way.

'Oh,'
stathe wife, 'you do not know how
much I set-=by the newspaper. I always'
have a sort of glad feeling when; I see you
take it out 'of your hat and lay it on the
kitchen mantle-piece lust .as Ido when'
some of the children come home. And •
when Pip tired I sit down with my knitting

when I'm reading,) and I feel so contented.:
I don't believe Queen Victory herself takes

This,was not spoken angrily, but so firlP•

matters. It sounded so different frot n her
usual , as you think best,' that he ac t ually
stopped a minute - to consider whether it was
at-all likely she would do as she said. Mr.
Heath -mss a kin,d husband, as - that iothefinite
description is gentrrally understood ; tk tat is,
he did not boat his wife and always gave
her, plenty to eat. More than this, he had a
certain regard for her happiness which made

INTERESTING FACTS.
BY PROF. MAPES
A globe placed in water, or in air, in mo
ving meets with resistance and'its velocity
will be retarded. If you alter girl globe to
he form of an egg, there will be less—re
sistance. And then there is a solid of leas
resistance which mathmeticians studied 'ma
ny years to dfectofer; end sylien they had
discovered it, they found they had the form
of a bead! Nature had "rigged.out
the fish witicsuch a figure. ,
The leathers or birds, And each particular
part of them, are ananged at sneli an angle
as to be most efficient in assisting Bight.
The human eye has a mirror on which ob
jects are reflected, and a newer by which
these reflections are carried to the brain ;
and thus we are enabled to take an interest
in the objects which passed before the eye.
Now when the eye is too convex, we 1-use
one kind of glasses tworrect the fault; mid
if it tie not convex enough, if Awe - wish . ,to
look at objects at a different distance, we
use glasqes of entirely •another description,
_ .
But as birds cannot get spectacles, Provi
donee has given them a method of supply
ing. the deficiency. They have the power
of contracting the eye, of making it more
convex, so air to see the specks Which float
in the atmosphere : and catch-them for food;
and also of flattening the eye to see to a
great distance, and observe whether any
vulture or other enemy is threatening to des
troy' that'll. in addition to this they have a
film, or coating, which can be suddenly
I thrown clown-over the eye to protect it; be

and with the delicate texture of 'heir eye,
the least spook of duet would act upon it as
a penknife thrust into the human eye. This
film is to protect the eye, and the same thin,
exists to some extent hobo eye of a horse.
The horse has a very large eye, very liable
f.o take dusts -This coating in the horse's eye
is called the haw, or third eye Ito, arid if you
will watch closely, you may see it descend
and return with electric velocity. It clears
away the dust and protects the eye from in

hardens and projects, and ignorant persons
cut it ofl, and thus destroy this safeguard. •I
You all know well, if you take a pound
of iron, and make of it a rod a foot long, i l
%Olin weight it, will support. But if it be a
hollow rod* will support a weight much I
greater than before. Nature Seems to have
taken advantage of this also, lung before
mathmeticians had discovered it, and all an
imals bones are hollow. The bones of birds
are large incense they must be strong to
move their large wings with sufficient veloc
ity; but they must also be light in order to
froat'easily upon the air: Birds alai) illus
trate another' fact 'in natural philosophy. if
you take'a beg, End hake 'it, air , tight,'and -

You all know that. it a hollow ball be filled
with a gas lighter than air, it will rise and
float away. This fact is beautifully Carried
out it - I , llolre. The Farina, or impregntiting
dust of -plants, - arelittle balls; extremely thin
and filled with gas light. They aid blown
ofl from the male hint and by falling on
the female pant, impregnate it.
Nature has so arranged it, that the unc
tions matter which causes the impregnating
part of plants to attach to others, never oc
curs at precisely the same timein male and
female plants. Thus it tlic farina from . 'the "
male plant hit the male, it does not adhere ;
-but if it hit the female, it does attlich ; the
balls burst but they are fastened_ and take
effect. Thus impregnation often takes place
'many yards distant. In raising Indian corn
. you all must have noticed that a single hill
7f red corn will impregnate an entire field ;
and red corn WI scattered to a long distance
through the whole field.

The gastric juice is worthy of remark. It
if a - tasteless,'•colorlessittodorous limpid
fluid, like water, and is adapted ir. different
animals-to different purposes. In the hyena,
rind other earniverons anitnnlA, it will not
dissolve live flesh but will dissolve dead
flesh. These creatures live, upon other

gastric juice, while it will not dissolve vege
tables at all. On the other hand some alai-,
mats live entirely on vegetables, and their
gastric juice will not dissolve animal food-
