Culled from Flora’s choicest bowers,
And distilled in crystal vases,
Like pearly tears, wept by the graces,

From morning dawn till close of day ;
In thy sweet breath dost thou combine
The odor of the Jessamine,
With other flowers, rich and rare,
That scent the fragrant. Southern air ;

The Mosß Rose and the Mignionette,
The Heliotrope, and other flowers,
Blooming in onr sunny bowers,
In thee unite their sweetest scents,
To make thy far-famed excellence.

years ago, after washing windows, was re

through the .glass, running several long
i pieces into her band. After several days
a physician was called, aud, as was suppos
ed, the glass all extracted. But it ap

• quantity was left in the hand, which
soon made its appearance under the skin

I extended to all pails of her body. It
j lias been extracted from the eyes, head,
arms and feet, and in fact, from all parts
jof her body. Six months ago it caused
the lock-jaw, with which she was afflict
ed for about six weeks, except that she
could drink between ber clenched teeth.
s At present she is a raving maniac more
dian half th« time, and in such agony
a> words will no' describe, and too° iu
credicable to tell. At intervals she is
j rational, and able to sit up and do some
work. Lp to the 14th instant over
1,200 pieces of glass had been cut out

last week. The firmer divided an ex
cellent onion with a merchant, and, after
the wholesale buyer had regaled himself
upon the bulbous root, Mr. Farmer al
lowed him to examine a tub of butter in
which the “let k ’ was unable,to overcome
the onion, and ilie butter was pronounc
ed “first-rate,” ar.d sold at a first class
price.
