I diank you for that downcast look.
And for that blushing check; I would not have you raise your eyes,
I would not have you speak.
Though mule, I dcoin you eloquent, I ask no olhcr sign; ,   While thus your lily hand remains Confidingly in mine.
I know you fain would bide from mo
The toll tale tears that steal
Unbidden forlh, and half beliay
The anxious fears you feci.
From friends long tried, and deeply loved.
The plighted bride must part. Then freely weep—I could uot love
A cold, unfeeling hcait.
I know you love your college home.
Whole in the summer limo Your hands have taught Iho clematis
Around the porch to climb.
ITour casement, with the wild rose screen.
Your liltle garden loo. How many fond remcmbrancea
£ndear Ihem all to you.
You sigh to leave your molher'a roo I
Though on my suit sho smiled. And spurning every selfish thougbt
Gave up her darling child.
Sigh not for her, sho now may claim Kind deeds from more than oue,
She'll gaze upon her daughter's emiles Supported by hor sou I
I thank you for that look—it speaks
Itdlianco on my truth, And never shall unkindness wound
Your unsuspecting youlh.
If fate should frown, and anxious thoughts
Oppress your husband's mind Oh ! never fear to cling to me,—
I could nol be unkind.
Come look upon diis golden ring—
You have no cause to shiink. Though oft ' tis galling as the slave's
Inditsolublo Unk!
And look upon you church the placo
Of blessing and of prayer; Before the allar hear my vows;
Who could dissemble there.
Come lu my home, your bird ehall havo
As tranquil a retreat, Your dog shall find a resting placo
And slumber at your feet.
And while you sit at evening
Oh ! let me hear you sing. Or I sball think you cease to lovo
Your lillle golden ring.
"Woman's Iiove.
The Poem on enlhusiasm by John J. Lewis, Jr., of Pen Yon, N. Y., which received tho premium offered by tbe publishers of the N. £. Galaxy for 'the  bost Poem, is a production of superior order. The folloiving is a passage from this Poem: "But Wo.ihn's Love, a treasure richer far. Than all Ihe Irophics of the viclur are ; Oh Icl the heaitless, sellish wordlings deem. That 'lis the fancy of an idler's dream ; ..-.Tke frigid rialoiii«l may preach in vaiu, Tis but Ihe ficlion of iho poets brain; His frozen heart could never tasle tho bliss Of luolhcr's luve, or gentle sister's kiss, -Sweel as Iho moss iu ils early blush. Is her alfeclion iu ils firsl warm gush. Like sparkling ruby, in ils crimson glow. Or silver founts which iu tbe sunbeam flow, "Tis liko thc snow upon the Alpine height As pure, us stainless, aud as dazzling bright; A talisman of virtues rich and rare. The brigliest jewel happy man can wear. Its clinging fondness never is eslranged,
II ever bums unchangable, unchanged. Nor chilled by limo, not overcome by fear,
Il Boolhes the soul, and dries the fulling tear. So mi Id and bcauluous, ardent yet no culm. Purer than air, more healing than a balm, Enlhusiasm tests its lasting truth. In woman's heart, it reigns iu age and youlh. In every changing circumslanco uf life. Child of enlhusiusui, molher, muid or wife."
A OBKAT cxKSOWK,  (says tho St.  Louis Re- vcille) iu an exchange paper relales, in a very louch¬ ing verse, thc opposilo  fate of twu early friends, The lilllo tale has » great nioral: One look a paper, and his wife Was happier Ihau a king's ; His chiidrcn ull could read and wiile. And talk of mun and Ihuigs.
Tho other look no paper, nnd
Whilo strolling through llie wood,
A treo fell don-n upon his crown. And killed him—as it should.
Had he boen reading of the news
At homo, like uciiibbur jim TII bst a cent that accident
Would not have happened him.

Seed 'Wlieat.
Wo are lold, that in the Islnnd of Jeiser, Eng- lund, where the farmers sell their produce aud livo upon tho refuse, it is customary for thom to lio their wheat in small sheaves, and by striking each twice or Ihrico across a barrel whilo lying on its ciJo on the floor, a superfine sam|i!o of wheat is obtained for market, the sheaves ote thrown by, to be clean Ihruslicd in Uie cveniugs of winler by lump light.
1 have just met with the nccount of a farmer in Vermont, to whom his neighbors resorted for Iho purposo of securing seed wheat of a superior qual¬ ily, very fins in apjienronce, remarkably produclive, and of early maturity; ho readily commaiui Ihrco dollurs per bushel, when tho prico of wheat wss a dollar ond a qunrlcr, culling it tho rod and genuine Barrel wheat. But ihe secrcl was at lasl discovered ; hc used, beforo ihraahing his ivheal, to solcct the best sheaves, and striking Ihom over tho side of the euiply borrel as it Iny on the floor Ihreo or four limes,before luyiiig them downlobecleuii Uirushcd, ho obtained iu this very simpto w-ay a very superior seed wheat, which Ihe wholo coveted ut a doubl price. Thus iho largest nud ripest kernel separated and collected withoul labor or difficulty, nnd u proiilnblti business was curried on until his ncigiibors discovered how lo make 'Barrel wheal' for tliemsclves.—Bo,lun  Cullivalor.
