Selected for the Recorder.
TO MISS H
I blame thee not thou dark eyed one,
I never did, nor can I now;
I would not harm th slenderest hair
That clusters round thy sunny brow.
I would not rob thy rosy cheek
Os that bright bloom which reds it o'er,
Nor banish from thv beautueus lip.
The smile it long hath sweetly wore.
Tho’sorrow long hath dimmed mine eye,
And thorns of anguish torn mv breast;
Stilt may thine own fair maid enjoy
The sam'e'calm undisturbed r.st.
Though envy’s chilling breath has left
A withering blight upon the flower,
’Twill lift again its drooping head.
In Friendship’s sweet, reviving hour.
Go grace the crowded hall again.
Go shine the brightest in the dance;
Thy form the fairest of them a!'.
Thine eye which beams the sweetest glance.
Go win anothercnptive heart,
To bow adormg at thy shrine;
And let ancthir press these lips.
Winch ft I’ve fondly press’d to mine.
Yet when thv heart is dancing light.
In pleasures gay and giddy muz- ;
And vm.n . life’s star is shining bright,
Forget not thou the by-gone days.

WHY AND BECAUSE.
The following extracts are from a small book
entitled ‘'Knowledge for the People; or the
Plain W hy and Bera is-
V'. hy does a silve/ or metal ten pot, wfiep
filled a second time, produce worse lea tliuti
the e «r hen w o e vessels?
Berate the heat ro' ined hy tho silver or
metal vessel so far exha <slh the herb, when this
water is first poured in, as to leave very little
soluble substance for second infusion; wnoieas
the reduced temperature of (lie water in the
earthen pot by extracting only a small portion
at first, leaves some soluble mutter for a se
cond infusion.
Why is it adviseable to pour irn’i ig Waler
into he tea pot before lhe ten is made?
Because the vessel, beint> pr< vmusly warn?,
may abstract less heal from the mixture, and
thus admit a more powerful action.
Whv is it recommendable hi aid only a
sin ill Ji .‘Uiiiuy of boiling w.iter at frsi(
Because only the water immediately in con
tact with the herb < an act upon it, and it cools
very rapidly, especially in earthen vessels;
it is therefore clear that the effect will bo
Stronger where the heat is kept up by addition ;
of boiling water, than where lhe vessel is fill
ed at once, uud the fluid suff'enii gradually t >
cool.
Why is a strong infusion oi green tea an
efleclual poison for flies?
Because ot the prnssn acid it contains.
Why is coffee so seldom well made in Entr
iand?
Because, Ist. The berries are overmasted,
their proper color being (hat of ciimiimou.—
2d. The coffee is ground too line. 3d. Not
enough coffee is 4<b. I' is usually over
boiled, by which means lhe bitter pr.uciplo is
ex'ructed from the bernes.
Why are we in some measure indebted to
the French for our present abundant supply of
coflee?
Because all the coffee grown in the W< ~t In
