I have acted as they bid rue, He said that he was hlees‘d, And the sweet seal of belrothal 0a or forehead has been pressed ; But my art gave back no echo To the rapture of his bliss, And the hand he clasped so ondly ‘ Was less treruuloits than his. The iee his lcrdl beauty, Ar,uIPI‘ltncw that bye is fuir——

Ofhieeunny e eeend it; And though my in utay ve held » A heavier rt t it now, I have told him that I love him, And I cannot break the vow.

He called me the fair lady Of a cutie o'er the seas,

And I ht about a cottage Nestled own among the trees ; And when my cheek beneath his lip

Blushed not nor turned aside, I thought how once e lighter kiss Ilad left it crimson-dyed.

What care I for tl. breathing

0f wind harps among the vines.’ I better love the swinging

Of the sleepy mountain pines, And to trnclr the timid rabb'

In the snow-shower as I list, Then to ride his coal-blaclt. hunter

With the hawk upon my wrist.

lleh would I leave the grandeur Of the onken shadowed lawnu, " And the dimly stretching forest, l Where the red roe leads her fawus, To gather the blue thistle And the fennel’s yellow bloom, Where frowni turrets cumber not The path wit gorgeous gloom.

Let them wreaths the bridal roses \rVith my tresseu as they rnuy— There are phantoms in my bosom That I cannot keep away ; To my heart as to a banquet, are crowding pale and dread, Butl told him that I loved him, And it cannot be unsaid.

Ta! Tetra: on Zulu.-—The following singular facts are derived from a very interesting letter written by t 0 David Livingston, air English missionary in South Africa, and eon-in-law of the distinguished missionary Robert Mnflat, to hie brother in Massaelt-rsetts, which letter was recently read before the American Geographical and Statistical Society .— “ The tsetse is the name given to an insect found in the interior of Africa. In size it is between the common house-fly and the honey-bee, and is of a drab colour, having some ycllow bars across the hinder part of the body. They seem to be confined to certain districts, generally along the banks of rivers, where reedy swamps intermingled with trees prevail. They are very numerous, and from their devastations among domestic cattle, have been termed the scourge of Africa. It is supposed that the “zimb,” mentioned by Bxucc,is the same as the Tsetse. The most curious fact about this insect is, that while its sting is harmless to man and wild animals, it is certain destruction to horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, or any other dom- esticated brute, except goats and young calves. Scvera instances are known where all the cattle, horses, and dogs ofa traveller have been swept off by it. A horse was taken among them by adoubter; about fifty settled on him, and immediately he began to lose flesh ; in eleven _days he was dead; when an ox is bitten, at once Ilia countenance stares, the eyes run, he loseejetrength, swells under the jaw, staggers, grows blind, an

mes emaciated, which continues, sometimes, for months,

when death ensues. Upon removing the skin, a great many air bubbles are found on the surface of the body, under the cellular membrane. The fat is of air oily, glary consistence, and of a greenish yellow colour. The heart is soft and pale,

' lungs and liver diseased, and the gall bladder unusually dis- tended with bile. The musclcs are flabby. the blood contains very little colouring matter, and not a pailful is found in the BM]. There is no suclt tlting as becoming accustomed to them and the natives, in localities where they abound, are unable to raise a single domestic animal. In these same districts, elephants, buffaloes, zcbraa, gnus, &c., live unaffected by the Taetae. A dog fed on the meat of game. lives ; one reared on milk falls a victim to them It is said that trams meat is possessed ofa peculiar acid four d but sppringly in tame animals, psrhapsthis may be the antiseptic. at then why do calves who subsist on milk, escape! Sometimes an entire herd of cattle is cut uffexcepting the calves, and these follow likewise, ifkept in the region for a year or two.”

_ Srnawseuntue ciurrttn on Roses.-—Ashort time ago there were exhibited in Paris, in a florist's shop on the Boulevard des Italiens, several rosetrecs, upon which were grafted a few strawberry plants. This curiosity attracted muclt attention from the pasaers-by. The process by which it was effected waeee follows :-—In autumn a few dogroscs of good sorts, on their own roots, are selected and planted in pots; at the same time a wellrooted strawberry is placed with each rose, planted just beneath the stem ofthe rose. In spring, when the runners push out, two or three of them are tied up to the stem of the rose. It is well known, that the runners of‘ the strawberries a ton make their own roots, and in due time these roots are cut away, making the cuts as for a scion, and then they are grafted on the rose stem, "without cutting or rearing the runners from the parent plant in the ground.” They should be preserved very carefully, to lead the sap up to the scions, and, treated in this way, the strawberries will vegetnte upon the roaetree for some time.

Srnettr Love.—'‘ Art illiterate female,” said Dr. Chalmers, "in h_umble life, applied for admission to the sacrament, but, at the customary examination, could not frame one articulate reply to a single question that was put to her. It was in vain to eelt her of the offices or mcditaion of Christ, or of the pur-

efhia death. Not one word could be drawn out of her; and yet, there was a certain air of intelligent seriousness, and the manifestations of light and appropriate feeling ; a heart and e tenderness indicated, not by one syllable of utterance, but by the natural signs of emotion, which fitly responded to the topics of the clergyman, whether she was spoken to of the III that condemned her, or of the Saviour who stoned for her. Still, as she could make no distinct reply to any of his questions, he refused to enroll her as a comrnunicant, when site, on aetlrieg, exclaimed, in the fulness of her heart, ‘ I cannot speak for him, but I could die for him l‘ The minister, overpowered headed to her a sacramental token, and with good reason, although set treason fell in utterance from her.”

Oltserving also that Notices have been issued, signed " B. W. A.

Such is not as yet case.

The Tenants are therefore, hereby, further cautioned, not to be misled by any representations whatsoever, into paying Rent In any ollrer than the Undersigned Trustees, nor to allow thsmselveeto be induced to attorn or render themselves liable in respect of Rent for Land in their ion, to any person not having a Deed of C re nnco from tho Undersigrted.
