m> * c t v ij For the Empire State. The moon looked down on the sleeping flowers, As gently they sank to rest. While brightly rose the evening star From its home in the clouds of the West. The zephyr soft as an infant's breath, Went vrandering carelessly by, And scarcely rippled the tranquil lake That slept in calm serenity. TVas an evening in oar own bright sunny South— The land of birds and flowers ; A milder clime where streamlets flow, ’Mid rural groves and Jessamine bowers. You may speak to me of snow-clad hills, In them no beauty lies ; T love our warmer, brighter clime, Our liluc and sunny skies. I love to rove ’mid orange groves, Or down some flowery glade ; I love the brooks that murmur “ncatli The tall,magnolia’s shade. I love our free, glad hearts at home, With all their wealth of love; They tell ns of a fairer land, A brighter home above. There sorrow never fills the heart, Nor tear-drops dim the rye. And there the sky is always bright, And the flowrets never die. Oh. give me then,my sunny home, With hearts so free and light ; I could not live in a colder clime, Or ’ncath a sky less bright. L I.Y. Griffin, Ga., March 12th. 1 WO. Cesrioiss Plants. Almost every body lias heard of the womb rful walking leaves of Austra ia For a long; time after the discovery of that island many people really believed that the leaves of a certain tree which -flourishes there con'd walk upon the ground. The story arose in this way • Some English sailers la ude it upon the c -ast one clay and alter roaming about until they were tired they sat down trad r a tree to n st themselves. A pun of’ wind came long, ano blew off a shower of leaves which aft v turning over and over in the air as ltav gen lie do finally rested upon the ground A•it v. , midsummer and evirything appeared tpot green theeircumstauce puzzled the sail, i- vo erably. But their s;,prise was nmeii great*--, as yon may well suppose, when, after a sh r time, they saw the leaves crawling along h i ground towards the trunks of the t ee. They ran at once for the v -se! without s oiiping t examine into the matter at all, and set s;d away from the land where every thing seemed to be bewitched. One.of the men aid leaf ‘he expected every moment osee tin* tre, : : l to dance a jig.’ Subsequent explorai-ons o Australia have taught us that these w !k-u . leaves are insects They live uno the tr es 1 heir bodies arc very thin and flat,timir wings : forming leaf like organs When tey -are an- j turbed, their legs are folded away under t.liei bodies, leaving the shape exactly ike a leaf, with its stem and ali complete- * They are of a bright green color in the summer, but they gradually change in the fall with leaves, to brown of frost bit ten vogatloo. When shaken from the tree, they lie fora few iumutes upon the ground, as though they, were dead, but presently they begin to crawl along towards the tree, which they ascend again. They rarely use their wings, although they are pret ty well supplied in this respect. Marrying the-Wrong Digger.—Tint San Francisso Bulletin states that soon ftci i; war* known that.

In the first part of this year, my wife had several small lumps make their appearance in her breast; they continued to increase in stum, until the whole breast became a diseased mass,ami very painful. 1 procured the best medical aid in the city of Rome,and notwithstanding the earnest and faithful attention of our most skillful physi cians. sju- continued to grow worse and worse, until they gave the cast’ up as incurable, and advised amputation. I was advised by many of my friends, to visit Dr. Moseley, of Grittim tea., which 1 did, and, astonishing as it may seem, he Inal her entirely cured within otic mouth, and she is vote in ptod health! 1 would advise all who arc afflicted with Beirrhus, and Cancerous affections to visit the Doctor with out delay, as 1 am satisfied by experience and observation, that he is the most skill fid physician iu the Southern States, in the treatment of that horrible disease—cancer.
