" Tu Manes nc U-de mcos; sed parce solvit is

I do not say. ' Forget mc not
Wlicn in the tranquil grave I he! "
Nor bid thee come to mark the spot
With bleeding heart and streaming ejc.
Tliou hast been faithful to my life
And when lis sands are nearly run
Watch me bat through the latist strife
Then let thy task be done !
I until J not bur in my tom'i
A wealth of tenderness like thine ;
Nor wish the spirit veiled in gloom
That thtcw such cheering light o'er mine.
Liie for the living not the dead '
Thy mission is to love and bless;
And tears enough there are to shed
O'er coasciuus wretchedness.
Still like an angel smiling peace.
Go whisper hope to hearts that ache :
And guide them whe-c all sirrovvs cease
By the bright palh thv footsteps I tke !
I shall not hear thy gentle tread
Nor canst thou reach mc w nh thy prayer
Among the mouldering dead.
Tar far within a happier sphere
Mv ransomed soul on Jeus' brcaM
Shall wait thy coming without fear
To .pin me in the holy rest
And if I may from that pure height
Look on thee et as 1 do now
O let me see the s-une sweet light
Upon thy placid brow '
O let mc meet thine upward eye
- Undimmcd by unavailing tears
Tor him whose trouble has swept by
To usher in immortal years '
Recall no more our dais of pain !
Think of the love that charmed our lot !
And in fond trust ta meet agim
Dearest forget me rot !

iiad not been long since suggested. It is
composed mainly of two cy Iindci-. closely ct
together a feeder and the otdmniy fan The
Cotton containing the seeds .s tin own on the
feeder from which it is taken by the cylin-
ders which extract the seeds whole the Cot-
ton being passed by the fan into a rcciur.
The quantity of Cotton cleaned by this ma-
chine will far exceed that by the ordinary
saw-gin now in use and a third less powei
i required to keep it ii operation. By tins
method the texture and length of the fihie i-
completely preserved the alue of the Cot-
ton nil! he greatly enhanced and (he intr id-
sic worth is inci eased fiom a cent to a cent
and a half per pound. It is calculated that
a thousand pounds of Colton can he extrac-
ted in the same space of time that is required
to extract twenty-four pounds by the com-
mon saw ain. The machine may be woiked
for ten years without requiring repair. It
will when generally known supercede eve-
