THE EEAUTIFUL. 
BY IDA V AIRFIELD. 
’Twas the glorious moru of creation’s birth, 
Our fair earth’s natal (lay, 
Which late from the wildest chaos sprung, 
In its gloomy grandeur lay. 
The spirit of Beauty softly bent 
Before her Creator’s throne. 
And breathed the wish of her earnest heart, 
In a supplicating tone. 
“ Go,” said her gracious Lord, “ I give. 
Full power to thy fairy hand, 
On earth, or air, or sea, to leave .. 
The touch of thy magic wand." 
The spirit sped on the wings of light, 
And crossing the sun’s bright ray, 
She gave a gorgeous gleam of gold 
To the mighty monarch of day. 
Then out in the arching sky she hung 
A veil of the softest blue; 
And over the trees and herbs she flung 
Their own peculiar hue. 
She stooped to paint (’twas a task of love,) 
Each tiny floweret’s cup; 
And a gem of dew, a radiant pearl, 
In each petal folded up. 
Above the cataract’s awful brow 
She bent the iris bow; 
And the snowy foam, and the dark, green hue, _ 
She gave to the depths below;— 
And lingered over the ocean long, 
To tinge its thousand waves; 
And painted the lip of the moaning shell, 
Half hid in the coral caves. 
A veil of moss on the brown rock threw, 
And taught the singing stream 
To wind, like a thread of silvery light, 
The bare, wild cliffs between. 
She caused iu the desert’s barren wastes, 
A cool green spot to spring; 
And hid in the storm-cloud’s blackest wreath 
The folds of a fiery wing. 
She grouped the stars in countless forms, 
With tints of crimson and gold, 
And gave to the moon-light that mystic charm 
Which is felt, but seldom told. 
Thus sped the sprite on her work of love, 
Till in sea, or grot, or deli. 
Or earth, or air, no place is found 
Where the Beautiful doth not dwell.

The softened woman vent back to her seat, 
and the angel did not bend down and whisper 
in her ear again, but all the time his hand was 
busy, very busy at its work. 
“Where is your home, children?” inquired

ACROSTICAL ENIGMA. 
THE WOOL GROWER AND STOCK REGISTER. 
Vol. VI. — Enlarged and Improved! 
The fact that the circulation of the W. G. &• S. R. has 
more than Irtbled during the past two years, and is daily 
increasing, induces us to venture an enlargement and im¬ 
provement, which will at once render the work lar more 
accept able and valuable, if not indispensable, to all engaged 
in Wool Growing, the breeding of improved Stock, or the 
rearing of Domestic Animals generally. Though our 
arrangements are not entirely completed, we can safely 
announce that — 
On the commencent of its Sixth Volume, July, 185-1, the 
Wool Grower and Stock Register will be enlarged to 
Thirty-Two Pages monthly, printed upon new and band- 
some type, and essentially improved in other respects. 
Tlie Yearly Volume will comprise 384 octavo pages,* or 
double the number contained in the present, (exclusive of 
the advertising cover, which will probably be omitted.)— 
This will give ample room for the discussion of many sub¬ 
jects which require attention, but which we can scarcely 
notice with our present limited spate. Among other 
matters, we propose to publish Pedigrees of pure bred 
cattle, horses, sheep, &c., and to give the names, residence, 
&c., of the principal breeders of Improved Stock t hrough- 
out the country — for the mutual benefit of owners and 
those desirous of purchasing. 
Arrangements are making to improve the quality, na 
well as increase the amount of reading matter. Regarding 
the reliability and vnlue of its Contents ns of far more 
importance than the size or appearance of the paper, we 
shall endeavor to secure the assistance, as contributors to 
its pages, of the best and most experienced writers on the 
various subjects discussed,—and cordially invite the co- 
couragement. Specimen numbers, &c., cheerfully sent, 
gratis, to all applicants. Address
