A FEW FACTS. 



During a late visit to New England, v/c were 

 much delighted with what wo saw and heard in- 

 dicative of a reformation on the subject of intenj- 

 perauce. In riding 260 miles by stage, we did 

 not see one driver, nor one- passenger, wlio seem- 

 ed addicted .to this vice. The general call was, 

 at tlie various stopping-places, for « a glass of lem- 

 onade,"-' 



pinks, bachelor's buttons, and the like, are also 

 grown for Covent Garden market, wheic they arc 

 carried, either as entire jilants in flower, with 

 balls for planting in town, ilower-|)ots or in pots, 

 or the flowers arc sold and gathered for nosegay.s. 

 Weld is grown in a few jilaccs.

 between the eyes, nor beneath the pectus and post- 

 pectus, the elytra appear rough from the deep con- 

 fluent punctures with which its surface is impres- 

 sed, and it is destitute of the remarkable humeral 



and subsateral series of deep punctures. The j ifest improvement in favour of temperance since

In his second experiment in boring, he selected 

 the extreme point of a wharf, many yards from 

 the original land. He bored tlirougb the artificial 

 soil, then fhrongh a stratum of mud, then through

At the late show of Manufactures at West 

 Newbury, there was an exhibition of pecuhar and 

 very novel interest by 3Ir. Enoch Boynton, of 

 Newburj-, who produced specimens of Silk of his 

 own manufacture, together with the substance 

 of the material in the various stages of its growtli 

 and prepi-rution. Mr. Boynton, who has been 

 indefatigable in his present undertaking, states 

 that he is now rearing 1000 mulberry trees, 

 which are just coming forward, and expresses the 

 most entire confidence in the result of his experi- 

 ment.

Afiw music. — A young lady of high accomplish- 

 ments, and no pride, in the absence of the servant 

 stepped to the door on the ringing of the bell, 

 which announced a visit from one of her admir- 

 ers. On entering, the heau, glancing on the liaip 

 and piano, which stood in the apartment, exclaim- 

 ed, "I thought I heard music— on which instru- 

 ment were you performing. Miss .'" — "On the 



gridiron. Sir, with an accompaniment of the fry- 

 ing pan;" replied she. "My mother is without 

 help, and she says that I must learn to finger these 

 instruments sooner or later, and I have this day 

 commenced taking a course of !esson.s." 



Contentment. There are two sorts of content- 



green, feet obscure. 



This pretty species is found in dry paths in 

 woods; but does not appear to be common. From 

 what was observed under the preceding species 

 It will be seen that these two must be called c. 

 denticulata, and hcemoirhoidutis, Hentz. 



The other insects of this genus, found in this 

 vicinity, are c. vtilgnris, Say ; c. purpurea,0\i\ier ; 

 c. hirticoUis, Say ; c. formosa, Say ; c. sexgutlata, 

 Fabricius; and c. punctubata, Fabricius.

Poverty is a great enemy to human hajipiiiess. 

 let philosophers say what they will upon the sub-

 to place yourself at least in comfortable circum-
