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. U. V. HSiscell. neoess. 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 dies has sprung from two plan s taken thither by a French botanist from the botanic garden at Pans. On lhe voyage me supply of waler became nearly’ exhausted, but so anxious was the Frenchman to preset ve the plants, that Im deprived himself of his allowance in order to water the coffee plants Formerly coff;e could only be got ata gieat expense, from Mo cha, Arabia. Why do fowls, if kept confined, lay without shells? Because they cannot get at any earth, which contains the material requisite for the shell.— Dr. Pans (m lhe LumfEin Transactions) shows that if the legs ot liens be broken 'hey will l-v their eggs wilhout shells uulii (li< iractme ts repaired; nature employ..;g <i<l iii.j lime in circulation tor tiie purpose of reuniting the bones. | Why are certain small fowls called “ban tams?’’ Be< aure they were first introduced here ' Bantam, in the isle of Java. iVhy are eggs pteservsd by rubbing thet.i ‘ with butler? Because 'ha butter closes th* pores in tho stu ll by which ihe communication us the em bryo w’lih external air takes place. Ttv- ern jbryo is not, however, thus killed.
