- - SONG. “ One story’: good till opalller is told." av craannas IWAIN. There's a marina that all should be willing to mind, ’ I‘ia an old oue—a_ltind one—and true as ’t is kind; "Pie worfliy of notice wherever you room, And no worse for the heart, if remembered at home! Ifacandal or censure _be raised against a friend, Be the last to believe it—the first to defend! r Say. to-morrow will coius—-and than time will unfold That “ one story's good It'll osother is told."

A friegdfs like a ship, when with music and song The tide of good fortune still speeds him along. But see him. when tempest hath left him a wreck, And any insan billow can batter his deck; But give me the heart that sympathy shows, And clings tea Ineasmate. whatever wind blows: ml “;" when aspiration, lnauavvered grows cold- Wuit—" one story‘: good till oriollssr is U." TI&iiU SING TO ME, LOVE. Sing to me, love ! I'm sad to-night, A weight of grief is on my breast, And thy sweet voiee alone can charm My spirit to its wonted rest, There's music in the song of birds, Oft times they make rich melody, But music from thy lips, my love, Is sweeter than all else to me.

' to me, love, and let thy voice be sweetly in some favourite strain, For music has a holy power To charm my spirit from its pain. And when the stars begin to glow, How sweet the quiet h mu of eve I It whispers of some for o la , Where we at last shall cease to grieve.

A Misaa’s Laoacr 'ro Quaas Vicroaia.-A Mr. Neild, recently deceased, has be -ieathed to Queen Victoria nearly the whole of his property. _ t consists chiefly of land, scattered in various counties, and is valued at half a million sterling. Neild was a barrister at law, end died in Chelsea, aged seventy- two years. He was possessed of an immense fortune, but was ofvery egentric and penurious habits. At the death of his father, thirty years since, he came into possession of about I I,250,000, which sum had not been touched up to the period of hie death. 'I‘he deceased was never known to weer a great aoa_t. He usually dressed la a blue coat, with metal buttons, which heprohibited being brushed, as it would take olf the nap and deteriorate its value. A few days before his death, the deceased told one of his executors that he had made a most singular will , but as his money was his own, he had done as he pleased with it. The executors, are the Keeper of the Privy Purse for the time being (Dr. Tattan), and Mr. J. Stevens, of Willesborough. After bequeething a few trifling legacies, the deceased has left the whole of his immense fortune to " er Mpstbracioue Majesty Queen Victoria, begging Her Majes- ty s most gracious acceptance of the same, for her sole use and benefit, and of her heirs," &c. The property is estimated at it wards of 89,500,000. For some years before his death, _ r. Neild scarcely allowed himself the common necessaries of life; and has left a poor old housekeeper, who was with him for more than twenty-six years, without the smallest provision or acknowledgment for her protracted and far from agreeable or remunerative services.

n this ct the following observations, occur ' Winslow's sycbolegical Journal :-—“ We have in dreams no true fperoeption of the lapse of tine—-a strange proper! y of mind! fori such be also its prepcri , when entered into the eternal disembodied state, time wil appear to us eternity. The relations of space, as well as of time, are also annihilated ; so that while almost an eternity is compressed into a moment, infinite space is traversed more swiftly than by real thought. There are numerous illustrations of this principle on record. A gentleman dreamed that he had enlisted as a soldier, joined his regiment, deserted, was apprehended, carried back, tried, condemned to the usual prepretions, a gun was tired ; he awoke with the report, and found that a noise in the adjoining room had, at the same moment, produced the dream, and a- wakened him. A friend of Dr. Abercrombie dreamed that he had crossed the Atlantic, and spent afortnight in America. In embarking on is return, he fell into the sea, and awaking in the fright found that he had not been asleep ten minutes.”

Pnac-risiito tor a Venue ro Avrrnar.is.—The other day, some gentlemen cruising on a part of the Irish coast, observing that about the same hour every day a boat, containing two men and a woman, landed its passengers on the shore, and after a short time returned with them. inquired the reason for this daily excursion. “ man " said one, “ what is it makes you come here every do I Is it that you like it?” “ Oh, your honors, not at all, at a I,” was the reply ; “ but fair, your

oners, the wife and me ‘a goin out soon to Australy, and we were just practising the so sic nose, that we may be used to it when we start." ' Wel , sud do you find ourselves im- provingl” “ Ah, shure, your honors, the wi e'a sick every day; but she's getting on purtily, an how.” So the worthy couple were left to qualify themselves for emigration, by prec-

tising to soy sickness.”

‘r err titre a Hniinv.—-A gentleman was separated the other day from his wife, in a most awkward manner, by simply being in too great a hurry. The gentleman alluded to, together with his wife, evidently had intended taking the steam boat for Albany, but arrived at the wharf, just as the boat was taking her departure. The simple-minded man, losing all judgment and eelfcommand in his hurry to get on board, gave a tremendous bound, and gained the deck, leaving his better half behind, and didn't discover his mistake until, in scanning thee cs over which he had leaped, he discovered his wife stao iog on the dock.

To rsavaiir A Cow niuiio in tin MILK.-WIIII the cow's udder and tests with pure cold water before milking, and then milk her morning and evening as dry as possible; negli- gence in this latter recaution is one of the causes of cows fail- in in their milk. he cow should, if possible, be always Ill lied by the same race ; and while the moose is going on, a small quantity of ay should be placed fore the anima . This furnishes employment for the jaws, and draws her atten- tion froia what is going on. and the milk is, in consequence, yielded freely.--utm. Vet. Jour.
