" MY MOUNTAIN HOMK— FAREWELL.' 

 Home of my heart, — furt'WcU ! 



My own wild mountain lionie 

 Ofslindy nnok and flowery dell, 

 Whence summer breezes come, — 

 Full of odors offered up 

 From Nature's own rich incense cup. 



Home of the unforgot. 



The years of childhood mirth, — 

 Thine image is the gi:issyspot 

 On the desert waste ofeartli ; 

 For 1 love thy rocks and yellow sands 

 Mi.ie than the flowers of other lands. 



■Tliere is joy in llie crystal spring 

 That gushes amid thy woods ; 

 And joy in every glowing thing, 

 Of tiiy glorious solitudes. 

 Woe for the vvonl that breaks that spell, — 

 My own, my mountain Ho.me — farewell! 



33=There is something peculiarly pleasing to us in 

 the few lines which succeed, dedicated to "Winter Flow- 

 ers." 



Ye wintry flowers whose pensive dyes 

 Wake, where the sumnjer's lily sleeps, 

 Ye are like orphans in whose eyes 

 Their low laid mother's beauty weeps. 

 Oh, not like stars, that come at eve 

 Through dim clouds glimmering one by one 

 And leach the failing licart to grieve 

 Because another day is gone ! 

 But like the liopes thai linger yet 

 Upon the grave of sorrow's love, 

 And dare affection to forget 

 The form below, the soul above; 

 Or like the thoughts that bid despair 

 Repose in faith on meicy's breast. 

 Givers of wings from toil and care 

 To fly away and be at rest. 



THASING. 



This is no triviiil subject. It is a science as 

 regularly taught and leiirned as any other. The 

 Vermont Chronicle gives a specitnen of it, with 

 some suggestions, which vre subjoin : 



" .Mother, motker, mother, may I, mayn't I 

 won't you, shan't she, shan't he, I won't, I must, 

 do now, mother, mother, mother, mother," &c., 

 &c., &c., &-C. Why, if fiv(! thousand women had 

 to hear the whole of it, it would <lrivo them cra- 

 zy ! And then, how ran a woman work to any 

 purpose, whose thoughts are put in confusion ev- 

 ery minute liy such onsets? And then for family 

 government, and family enjoyment, and family 

 affection ; it makes sad work with these, and 

 witli everything which is lovely and vahiahle. 



Children are taught to tease, very iniichasthey 

 •are taught to cry. With all his little wants, real 

 or iniitginary, the child runs to his mother. They 

 are n)atters of importniu-,e to him. He vvaitts a 

 definite and desisive answer, one which will set- 

 ile the<(U(!Sli()n ; and his mind will he on the rack 

 tin he has it. It is not in th ; nature of a child to 

 feel otherwise. He will have no peace himself, 

 and will theicfore give his mother no peace till 

 J)e understands and knows llmt the point is sct-l 



tied. If you j:ive no answer till he has sjioken 

 ten times, and then, if he has any reason to sus- 

 pect that speaking twenty tiines more will obtain 

 an answer more favorable to his wishes, he will 

 speak twenty times more. And this will soon 

 grow into a habit. But give him an answer the 

 first time he speaks, and he will not he obliged to 

 speak the second tiii.8 to obtain one ; and never 

 alter your decision for his teasing, an<l he will 

 soon give it up as of no use. Your answer may 

 be almost any thing. It may be, "wait ten min- 

 utes and I will then tell you ;" " wait till I have 

 done this piece of work.'.' But it must be some- 

 thing definite, something that tlie child can un- 

 derstand, and which he knows will not be altered. 

 If you have leisure, and the occasion seems a 

 proper one, you may let him argue the case be- 

 fore yon decide it, but not afterwards. Indeeil, 

 if he has learned by experience, that your decis- 

 ions are final, he will seldom, if ever, attempt it. 

 He will consider an answer as an answer. His 

 mind will be at rest on that jioint, and soon find 

 something else with which to atnuse himself. 



Now, mothers' do not stiy that you have not 

 time to answer the requests of your children as 

 soon as they are made. If your time is so occu- 

 ))ied, that you find it difficult, how can you af- 

 ford to neglect it, and thus teach them to tease, 

 and thus bring upon yourself an inconceivable 

 greater hindiance ? 



O.NE OF THE WONDERS OF THF, .AgE. We haVB 



been shown a sheet of paper one himdred feet in 

 length, and two feet wide, printeil on both sides, 

 by a machine at one operation. This extraordi- 

 nary invention enables a person to i)rint ofT any 

 length of paper required for any number of copies 

 of a work or a public journal, without the assis- 

 tance of any person, except one to put in the rags, 

 at the e.xtremity of the machine. The work 

 comes out complete. This wonderful work is ef- 

 fected by placing the types or stereotype plates on 

 the sm'facc of cylinders, which are connected with 

 the paper making machinery. The paper, as it 

 issues from the mill, enters in a properly mois- 

 tened state, between the rollers, which are evenly 

 inked by an ingenious apparatus, iind emerges in 

 a printed form. The nmnber of copies can be 

 measured off by the yard or mile, according to 

 the demand, or according to the siipidy of the 

 'raw material.' The work which we have seen 

 from this press, is Robinson Crusoe, and consists 

 of sixty duodecimo pages. Tlie whole labor of 

 wetting down the paper, the hands required to 

 put it into the Napier press ami take it out, the 

 trouble of effecting perfect register, (which is 

 sometimes impossible) are all dispensed with in 

 this maehine. Mr T. French, the inventor, is 

 from Ithaca, and is now in this city. We hav(! 

 had the pleasure of seeing his drawino-s, and ex- 

 amined several copies of Kobinscm Crusoe. He 

 has one roll of printed paper, six inches in diam- 

 eter, which is 600 feet in length. V. Y. Star.

How TO COMMIT MuiiUER.-Take a pretty youne 

 lady — tell her she has a pretty foot — she will wear 

 a small thin shoe — go out in wet spring weather, 

 — catch a cold — then a fever — and die in a month. 

 This receipt never lails. 



Did universal charity jirevail, earth would be 

 a heaven, a hell a fable. 



A CARD. . 



J. R. Newell would inform his patrons and the public, 

 that he has disposed of all his interest in ihe Agricultural 

 Warehouse, to Joseph Breck & Co. In taking leave of a 

 business he has so long conducted, he desires to express his 

 gratitude to his customers and friends, for their liberal patron- 

 age. As he retires from an employment, which has been so 

 cottnected with Agriculture, he hopes that, by the improve- 

 ment and inveiilions of many valuable implementa, he has con- 

 tributed, in no small degree, to the advancement and prosper- 

 ity ofllte agricultural interests of our country.

Patent Lamp Apparatus for Heating Water, 

 Coukin^, &-C*

 ilies, and tor such persons as ina^- wisii to prepare tea or 

 cotTee-drink, cook oysters, &c.. in their owji apartments wilit 

 out the trouble of a wood or coal fi.c. It is very conveuicn- 

 in public houses, cofTce-houses, and other places where it is

 answering all the puiposes of what is called the nurs^ lamp it 

 may be made to boil liom one pint to a gallon of water, l>y a 

 method, which in many cases will be found the most econom- 

 ical and expeditious, which can I e devised.
