 SulScisnt to liayo atooj, llioujh free lo fall, 

 Sncii were created all tile ethereal powers, 

 And spirit.'^, both 111' thorn who st'iod and tliem who

 Freely they stood who stood, and lell who fell. 

 I\'nt freu. whit proof c.mld they h:iv,^ iiiv'.i sineero 

 or true allegiance ; eonstml laith and love. 

 Those stars shone upon the unliap|)y exiles 

 when the',) were liani.-hed from Paradise.' 



Theirs was an ijiitnid p:'.t!i. Sad and pensive 

 was their walk, Eve tm ned to tuUe a linewelJ 

 look of the garden, when she espied liio fluminj; 

 sword, placed ihere to ^nard ilie tree ol' life: she 

 tiiinteol ill Iho anus of her husband who present- 

 ed iier I'lom falliii^r. 



The western wind finned her pnlo clieek, and 

 liroiuht her to roiisciuusness. She tMriie<! her 

 <?ye lijjon hei- Imshaiid with a look of sadness 

 yet of <ieep alTeetion, and said— Oh, my hnshainl, 

 iiow kind art thon to her who has ruined thee! 

 I, who was given ihoe as «n lielpmeel, should 

 have resisted temptation and have slrength-ened 

 thy virtue; lint 1 lislened to the '.-<di'e of the 

 tempter and fell, and then, I persuaded thee to

 {inppimss ni' livinir." His voice we shall nev- 

 tti-a^ain hear: — driven from everything loveiy — 

 the earth cursed— toil, sorivr.v and death otir lu- 

 heiitaiice. She was overcome hy the rush of 

 vecollecliuii, and tears fiowed rnpion.Jy from her 

 eves. Adam was also deeply affected, liut he 

 nmde an efttjrt to speak woriU of consolation to 

 liisspoiisp. Say not (said he) that we are hereft 

 of ail comlorr.— The vei-y toil though pronounc- 

 ed a curse will in our imperfect slate Ik; the

'■ ISul there is ivdeniptioji" — " lJ4erc is iiopc.'"

A friend writes me from Xew Orleans, under date of .\pril 

 9!li — " I learn from the j.-vipers that yon have had a ve.-y .severe 

 winter al tti? Xortii, while we !»ere have had an unusually 

 mild one, anrl wijli the cxcri.-tion of 40 or 50 dnys rain durinsi 

 (he latter part of Deeembtr and tluivji;!] January, the weather 

 b:is been pleasaiiT. Von ran je.dLie liow tittle colO weather we 

 tiave hail, from the fact tlint we have had green peas every 

 loontli since i Uavs been hero, and grown in the open air at 

 tliat, and now we areluxnnating upon strn'.vbcrries and black- 

 berries. The trees are :dl rinUied in a luxuriant foliage, and 

 tJie ross, geranium, caniillia, &c. Idl Ilie air with fragrance." 



The Noble V/hite Pine. 



Before the .State of i\'ew Hampshire was set- 

 tled the vuhie of the pine nee was appreciated 

 try the royal government of Great Briiain: an 

 express provision svas tiiride in the Kitig's grant 

 fur the reserviilion of timber tit to be used in the 

 Navy; and the king's sign iiuuinal or broad R 

 was marked upon lliom to designate titat lliey 

 ■were his excinsive property to t)e used in the 

 j constrnciion of tliips of w;ir. Tbc tnost of this 

 timber in the course of one h'.indred years, since 

 the interior uus sellled has been liule bettcrtlian 

 wasted : liotn the dilScidiJes and e.Vjiense of 

 lrans|iort before canals were constrneletl hy llie 

 falls of onr two rivers, the cost <d' Iranspoi tutioti 

 liaBuhv;iys been neatly ci^iial to their v;-bie. The 

 seltlcd parts of Maine as of New Hampshire 

 have neiirly sutFered a deati loss of their i.«ble 

 pine limbec; but the new parts of that Souiish- 

 iug State are rcidiiing that wejillh froiij the orig- 

 inal lol'iy pine trees tlic Ifaliic in wbicb alone 1ms 

 limit up Iier most (ioiirishinit cides ati<l viibii.'<'.^=. 

 Wu m New ll.nnpsliire have still left many nolilt 

 forests of original pines ill the upper region <jf 

 ConiK'ciicnt river, and some tijirwi the Merrimack 

 aii<l its branches. We have neliced in another 

 place the geowlh of the white pine in this town 

 in the sjcice of fgrly yoars: it niavseem iiicredi- 

 bielhat some oS' tiiis second growth should mea- 

 sure nearly tlirt^e feet in rliameK'f at the butt end. 

 Since we wrote that ;«!ic!e, while straying over 

 our intervale gnxinds on the bank of the river, 

 we irailed a raft of pine spars with bnniWes of 

 shingles (l«ating lo the niiirket conducted by t»G 

 men who were very leisurely guiding li in the 

 proper che.tine!. The spars were, iiistcned as is 

 •usual ill shoolM to lie divided when passing 

 ihriMigh the canals and locks: from the appear- 

 ;uice tliey c^oiild not be iimch over seventy-five 

 fett iti iengtli, and ihe biilloni or liase of tJie raft 

 consisted of tw<;iiiy-five or Ihiny of them. Onr 

 ya«kee curiosity iiidiiccd ns to intpiire respe-ctiiig 

 llicJK. Oik of the river liien iniswcred that the 

 trees were cut in Saii.sh«iy — )b;it tijoy were con- 

 ts-acteiil for to l)e<k'livcre<J ii.wir Biiston atthijtceii 

 ■liollars a to«, atiti that sttn>e oj' lliem would mea- 

 sure over«?veii lotis eatb. Jf, as lie saiil, the 

 CO.-! <ii' jneparin;; Htid tcansfaniting these ini- 

 men-.ie s|ni->-s uiiioiMUed to iiliy dolJars each, in- 

 cluding tolls atnl all ©i1i«' e.^jienges, that ^^onl(l 



leave the slaiidiag tree worth another fifty dol- 

 lars. 



After all the waste of pine timber in New 

 Hampshire, there are still many more of the orig- 

 inal trees left than is generally imagined. There 

 are many noble lots, whose owners u ill snfler 

 the axe to encroiich upon them but sparingly. 

 We now believe the growth of the while pine in 

 this Slate to be nearly if not ijnile equal to the 

 quantity annually cut down. The uvvners of 

 light lands cannot do better than lo spare iho 

 yomig ifrow;lh and even plant and cultivate, the 

 noble pine. 



\Vill .some Iriend upon the Lake shore or Lake 

 I.slands send the editor of the Visilm- at Concord 

 by leaving it «ilh .Mr. Coe, to be forwarded by 

 stage, cars of their best kind of seed corn, suffi- 

 cient to make one bnshc! when shelled ? To 

 come in time ihv iiic, we should have it as soon 

 as the ]Oi!i of Jiav. 



For Candles. — Take 2 lbs. of tilnm for every 

 10 lbs. ol' tallow; dissolve it in water belbre the 

 tallow is put in, and then melt the taiiow in iho 

 alum water, V. ith frtcpient stirring, and it will 

 rlarifv and hanlen the tallow so as lo make n 

 most beaulit'ul candle. — Selected.
