A Capital Song.
In a new romance, in two golum^p, entitled Hyperon,
from the pen of Henry NV. Longfellow, the author of
“Outrc-Mcr,” in the following song, sung by a wander
ing German student to the hero at a moment when there
were 6trong suspicions that ho was about falling in
love;
I know a maiden fair to see,
'Poke care!
She ran both false and friendly be,
Beware! Beware!
Trust her not,
She ia tooling thee !
She ha« two eyes so soft and brown,
Take care!
She gives a side glance and looks down,
lleware! Beware!
Trust Imm not,
She is fouling thee!
And she has hair of golden hue,
And what she says.it lanot true,
Beware! Beware!
Trust her not,
She is fooling thee !
She has a bosom as white as snow,
Take cure!
She knows how much it ia best to show,
Beware! Beware!
, Trust her not,
Site is fooling thee!
She gives thee a garland woven fair,
Take care !
It is n fool’s can for thee to wear,
Beware! Beware!
Trust her not,
She is fooling thee!
Tin* Rose ancl Hit* Bee.
A sportivo Bee of fickle mood,
Deserting every flower he wooed,
Once on a bright ami summer’s day,
Wishing to pass his time away,
Did to u Rose Iris devoirs pay.
He bu/./.ed about, lie smiled, he prayed,
No answer to his vows she made ;
And for his sighs she eared much less,
But smiled and laughed at Ilia distress,
Contented in her loveliness.
She knew full well to every flower
He was the lover of the hour;
But for herself, so bright uml rure,
So sweetly,gently growing there,
She allured not vows with cv'ryjair.
The more lie vowed, the more lie sighed,
The more w ith fickle vows lie plied,
She closer folds her leaves—with less
< If anger than of tenderness,
Ui ’shamed of her own loveliness!
Yet do not think she could not feel,
For coyness oft will love conceal;
And well she knew the fickle Beo
Would I»i4 farewell to constancy,
If lie Iter tenderness should see.
She knew his wimjs were bright and fair,
Like7.eph.vrs sporting in thenir;
But yet she knew if wings were bright,
’Tin often proved that they are tight,
Ladies! decide if she was right!
Snorting again in spring-tide hour,
’.Mid e.hangefill April’s sudden shower,
The lover Bee grew wet android,
Unto the Rose his woes he told,
And prayed her leaves she would unfold*
Ah! sillv Rose—beware—there’s guile
Lurking beneath the blandest smile;
But o|i! beware the treni herons tear,
For in it '.Imre m more to lour,
Thun doca to simple eyes nppeor.
From pity she could not refrain,
With griefslm saw her lover’s pain ;
She oped her leaves of rosy line,
That to tin* winds a perfume threw,
And to her breast the flutterer flew.
When nestled in the honied cup,
Her graceful leaves slm folded up—
Sweet, trusting Rose, like woman blind
To art, when pity fills her mind,
Bewure ! I ovr leaves a sting behind.

AN INTERESTING TALE OF HEAL LIFE.
On the road between Shrewsbury and Market
Drayton* in Shropshire* England, lies the beautiful
and picturesque villuge of I Induct. It consists of
but one street on tliu declivity of the sunny side of j
a hill; the principal or rather the only Inn in the!
place, is the Blue Boar ; it is situated nearly oppo- j
site to the public hall or place, in which all sorts of
meetings art; held ; being alternately converted in-
to a dancing school, a theatre, n methodist Chapel, I
a ball-room, &c., as occasion may require. The !
church is a little further off, and the parsonage is a |
white house surrounded with trees at one end of the i
village. A stage coach passes through the village ,
three times a week : and one evening in the month |
of February it stopped as usual at the door of the ,
Inn, and a strange gentleman wrapped in a blue tra
velling cloak alighted; the driver handed him u
portmanteau, and the coach drove on. The stran. 1
ger entered tin? Blue B jur, was shown into the par
lor, and desired the landlord to bring him a pint of
wine. The order was quickly obeyed ; tins win*
set upon the table, and the host proceeded to runs,
the slumbering embers of tin* lire, remarking at the
same time that it was a cold raw night, iiis guest
assented with a nod—then said luquiriugiv, " voti 1

be be here ! Do you think he is handsome ?” These
ami a thousand other question* Ih w about in wins,
pers from one to another,whilst the uuconsei >us ob-
j^et of all ibis interest cast bis eyes rnlmlv. vet
penetrntiegly, around upon the congregation. Nor
was it ail to be wondered at that his appearance 1 has
ra ised a sensation among the good people of Ho-
duet, for he was not that kind of a person whom
one meets with every day. There was something
both in bis face and figure that distinguished him
from the crowd. You could not look upon him onee.
and then turn away with indifference. When tin
service was over, the stranger walked out of tin-
church alone, and remained seated in his parlor at
the? Blue Boar, the remainder of the day. As nun
he supposed, speculation was busy at work, at m*?r<
than one tea table in Uoduct that evening, and con
jectures were poured out with ten, and swulluwed
with toast.
A few days elapsed, and the stranger was almost
forgotten, for there was a subscription assembly in
Uoduct, which entirely engrossed the minds of the
villagers; so important an event not having taken
pkice for nearly half a century before, (treat pre
parations were made, and at length the important
night arrived ; at nine o’clock, which was consider
ed a fashionable hour, the hall was nearly full, and
the first country dance (for quadrilles were not then
known t > the villagers of Uoduct.) was led off bv
the eldest son of the squire of the village, who con-
ducted the chosen divinity of his heart, the only
daughter of one of the Justices of the lYaro fir
the county of Shropshire, gracefully through its
mazes. Enjoyment was at its height, when sud
denly the merriment was checked and more than
usual bustle prevailed the room. The stranger Imd
entered it ; and then* was something so different in
his looks and manner from any other male creatures
present, that everybody surveyed him with renewed
curiosity, which was at first tinctured with aw*?.
“ Who can lie be?” was the question that instantly
started up like a crocus in many a maiden’s throb,
bing bosom. “He knows nobody, and nobody
knows him; surely lie will never think of asking
any body to dance.”
For a long time the stranger stood aloof from
the dancers in a corner of the room, hv himself, and
they were almost beginning to forget that bo was
present. But ho was not idle ; ho was attentively
observing every group and every individual in the
room. And judging by the various expressions of
his countenance, one would have thought lie; could
road character at a glunce. I J, * did seem to regard
the generality of the company present with a very
favorable eye. At length, however, something like
a change came over the spirit of his dreams. I lis
eye fell on Emily Somers, and appeared to rest
where it fell, with no small degree of pleasure. N<
wonder, Emily was not what is generally called
beautiful; but there was a sweetness, a modesty, o
gentleness about her, that charmed the more the
longer it is observed. I Ier winning smiles, her
clouded temper, and her affectionate disposition,
threw their hallowed influence uround her wherever
she went. She was the only child of a widowed
mother. 1 Ier father was an officer in the army, and
fell in battle, and the pension of an officer’s widow
was all they had to support them. It was to Emily
Somers that the stranger first addressed himself,
and asked her to dance with him. Einilv had never
seen him before, of course ; but concluding that lie
had come there with some of her friends, and be-
mg but little acquainted with the arbitrary rules of
etiquette, she immediately with a frank artlessucss,
Mailed an acceptance of his request, and they joined
the merry dancers on the light fantastic too. At
the close of the evening’s amusements, the stran
ger requested permission to accompany Mrs. and
Miss Somers to their residence, which was granted :
and upon taking his leave of them for the night, lie
asked if lie might be permitted to visit them the
next day, which was assented toby Miss Somers.
On the following morning he called to pay his res
pects to them, and so won upon their favor by his
pleasing and gentlemanly behavior, that h«- was soon
allowed to be their daily visitor at Joy Cottage ; but
notwithstanding the apparent intimacy, which was
observed with no small degree of jealousy by some
of the female villagers of Uoduct, lie remained al.
most as great a stranger at the Cottage as when
they first became acquainted with him.—except that
lie bad informed them that his name was Frederick
Burleigh,—that he was a single young inan and of
a respectable family.
The gossips of the village were not sparing in
their remarks of wonder and astonishment, that
Mrs. Somers would allow a person whom she lmd
never seen in her life, before the night of the ball
to lieconie a daily visiter at her house ; it was very
imprudent, wasn’t it! lor aught slur knew be might
be a married man, a swindler, or what not. Much
was the scandal of the villuge. Mrs. Somers, bow-
ever, regarded not the idle talk of her neighbors,
which she looked upon only as the offspring of envy
and jealousy; for to a well cultivate 1 mind she ad.
ded considerable experience of the world, therefore
it did not take her long to discover that their new
friend was, in every sense of the word, a nriii whose
habits and manners entitled him to the rank of a
gentleman; and she thought, too, that she saw i,
him, after a short intercourse, many of those; nobk
qualities which raise the individual to a high and
merited rank among his fellow men. A* for E
ly, she loved his society, she scarcely knew why;
yet, when she endeavored to discover the cause, she
found it no difficult matter to convince herself that
then; w as something about him so infinitely superior
to all the men she bad ever seen be lore, that sh
was only obeying tin; dictute of reason in admirin'
and esteeming him. I h r admiration uml esteem
continued to increase in proportion as she I am*;
better acquainted with him, and tl»i- ... ntiment
seemed indeed to b - mutual; for lie n**w spent bis
time almost continually in her society. Tb* stran-
g**r was fond of music, and Emily, besides being
proficient in tin? piuun-forte, possessed u very line
uutural voice, which she bud cultivate ! w ith great
care, and consequently played and sang with great
taste ami judgement. Nor did she sing ami play
unrewarded ; for Burleigh taught It* r tin- language
of Petrareh and Tasso—-the m » t • ■ i« ' ;*11• gnf ai!

rthy than I know you are, I should .” She
stopped, confused, ami a deep blush spread over her
face,she burst into t.-ars, ami would have sank to
tin- ground, bad not h r lover caught her in bis arms, i
Think ol me thus,” be whi.-pered, " till we meet
again, and we may both be happy.”
(fi. I will think of thee thus forever!”—They
had reached the cottage door. “ God bless you
Emily,” said the stranger. “ 1 dare not see your
mother ; tell her *»f my departure, but tell her when
mtumn lias faded into winter, I shall he here again.
Farewell, dearest, farewell.” She lelt a hot and
burning kiss upon her cheek ; and when she von- 1
vil to look round, he was gone,
I In ry arrived the next day, hut there was a gloom j
upon the spirits of both mother und daughter, which
it took some time to dispel. Mrs. Somers felt for
Emily more than for hers* If.—She now perceived
that her child’s future happim-ss now depended more
upon the honor of the stranger than she had hither
to been aware of, and she trembled to think of the 1
probability that in tin- ba-y world he might soon for- j
get th" very existence of i Induct and its inhabitants. '
Emily entertained better hopes, hut they were the
result probably <>1 the sanguine and unsuspicious
temperament of youth. H r cousin, meanwhile,:
exerted himself to the utmost to make liimselfngr* e- j
able. lie was a young, frank, handsome soldier, 1
who had leapt into the very middle of many a lady’s
heart; hut he w as not destine*! to bmp into Emily’s.
She had enclo "d it within too strong a line of cir-
eunivailatiou. After a three months siege it was
found impregnable.—So Henry, who really loved
his cousin, n»-\l to his king and country, thinking it
folly to endanger his peace of mind nr waste his
time any longer, one morning shook Mrs. Somers
and Emily warmly by the hand and took his depar
ture to join his regiment.
Autumn came ; the leaves grow red, brown, vel- j
low, and purple, they dropped from the branches of I
the trees, ami lay rustling in lumps upon the path '
below. Th*? last lingering swain convevcd from
the fields their golden treasure.—The days wen?
bright,clear, calm, nud chill; the nights were full
of stars, ami the ground was wet with dew, which,
ere the morning dawned, was changed into a silvery i
hoar lVo&t. The robin hopped across the garden 1
walks. But the stranger e.mu; not. Darker days'
and longer nights succeeded. The trees were 1
stripped of # th* ir foliage, and the fields had lost their :
verdure. Winter burst upon tit*; earth, and storms !
went careering through the firmament. But still !
the stranger came not. The lustre of Emily’s eye
grow dim ; hut yet she smiled, and looked as if she ;
would have made herself believe that there was >
hope.—And so there was ; for the couch once more
stopped at the Blue Boar : ami the stranger, wrap- I
peel in his blue travelling cloak, one*; more alighted \
from it. Language cannot convey to the mind ol i
the reader the delight experienced by Mrs. Somers
and her daughter at the return of the stranger, who
had so faithfully and honorably redeem*•*! his pledge.
Emily’s eye soon regained its wonted lustre. But
tin*re was still another trial to hr made. Would
she marry him ! Im putting th question be said,
“ my family is respectable, nud it is not wealth I
seek, I have an independence, at least equal I should i
hope to our wishes; hut any thing else which you j
may think niysteri *us about me, I cannot unravel !
until you arc indissolubly mine. It was a point of j
no slight dillieulty ; Emily entrusted its decision en
tirely to her mother. Her mother found tiiat the.
stranger was infiuxihh- in his purpose, and sh*; also •
saw that her child’s happiness was inextricably liti-
ked with him. What could she do ? It hud hern
lietter porhnpi if they had never known him? hut j
kno\vi'._ him, and thinking so highly of him as they \
*!! 1, t’u* re was no alternative—the risk must he |
run.
It was run: they were married in Uoduct, mid '
immediately after the eernmonv they stepped into
a earring*; anil drove away, nobody knew when*.
Wo will not infVingw upon th*; sacred happiness <»l
such a journey upon such an oceason, by allowing
our profane thoughts to dwell upon it. It is cnoug i
to know, that in the afternoon of the following day
after tluy left Uoduct, th* y entered an extensive
and noble park, und came in sight of a magnified.,
(lothic mansion. Emily *-xpres-•»■»! In r admiration

It is a fact well known, at least to those who are
conversant with wood craft, that when a crowth of
one sort of tiecs is cut flow n, the ground il hit alone
will send forth new shoots of a dill’rent species.
Thus in some soils if oaks are removed, pines
will spring up ; and pim s when cut down will he
sucee*- 1 d In chesnut. Tlie germ -of these various
grow tii.j douhtless lie hidden in th" « arth, waiting
their tine and occasion t«» sprout and conic upwards.
W bile stately trees overshadow tin* ground and
their fur.cMending routs imhihe all the nutri-
live css" nee.s of tin; soil fir their own sustenance,
there is n t room nor mean.* whereby tho embryo
plants may “burst their cerements” und court tin
cheering iiilluence of tin* sun. May we not apply
this to illustrate somntliing of the human mind ?
By r« ason of the circumstances in the midst of
which we ar*; placed, certain qualities arc drawn
forth and nurtured into strength so as to become
chara-tei'isties. Yet who can tell whal Intent seeds
lie hid in every man’s bosom which new associations
might cause to germinate ? 11 >\v many sec.oiidarv
coiistilueiits of the character—the undergrowth of
the mind might he made to shout vqiwards into a
commanding height.
Il h is been said that a man’s character cannot b
known until his death. May we not .add—-not even
then—at f a t to the dwellers on this side of tin•
grave. I !<• may have gone through lif-w ith *mly
a portion of his flH'ulties develop"*!. Tli ‘ oaks III*
tii" piu«'s may have grown mix i.si ted l*y the whirl
winds.—such are misfortune.-.,—or untouched by
tne axe,—such is the self-culture, and to outward
appearance it would seem that the soil could give
birth to no other trees. With regard to moral char

'The Pocket Farrier.—Try before yon buy.—If
you meet with a Uor3e you Ulle,and are debiruus of

To Discover a Stumbler.—If you buy of one

To Know m* Age.—Every treatise ufl farriery
has instructed us to know a horse’s age by the
inaiks in hii mouth ; hut not one in five hundred (n
dealer excepted) can retain it in mind.
Every horse has six teeth before in each jaw ; un
til la: is two ami a half years old,they are all smooth
and uniform in upper surface.
\t two nml a half years old he sheds tho two
midd!" teeth, (hv the young teeth’s rising and forc
ing ill*- old ones out,), which at three years old, arc
r«*pla*'"d hv two hollow ones.
When ho is about three years and a half old, h©
shi rks two others, one on each side the two middle

ers, which also are hollow.
'Tin- sharp single teeth in horses, begin to ap-
|H*nr in the lower jaw when the horse ia about three
and n half nr four years old ; they itrc frjl grown,
pointed, and concave in live inaide.
When Ik? is four years and a half old, he sheds
the two corner teeth, which, at five, are replaced al
so with two Tuillovv ones, grooved on the inside;
which groove mark:* the age precisely..
At i\ v* ars oi a*rr this groove begins to fill up,
