We can not mention .the publication in which it first appeared, for some forgetful editor has failed to make the credit due.) There were three of us—Kate, Annette, and myself—fand we Were going into the old wood to hunt for strawberries. Oh ! it was such j a delightful day in June.— The birds sarijg till: the lair was fairly vocal with their melody,-and all the green trees' nodded their heads in approbation. The very brook seemed to have caught the general inspiration,, and danced along through the meadows, us if keeping time to a quickstepi of tfije fairies. Annette Summers acid I had been invi ted ..to spend i the half holidays with our schoolmate' Kate Harrington. 1 Deacon brown house, fronted toward tljo south. Behind it stretched a broad,, and still farther back yfas a densely wooded accliv-, ity, famous for flowers and berries in the geography bf| every child in Ryefield. 11 used ,to love to look at . Deacon Hairing-: ton’s old y days," wheixrl had, ndt a single well de nied iaoUen- bf taste in my enrty read. I know ho# that" it combined, to sm eminent‘degred; the elements of the) jipturpsquo. The Jew rgof, wbieii sloped ■ i wckteara nesrly teethe ground, was gray with moss.- Xvy crept aboutthe windows, and-'.oyer ; thefrustip? poroK climbing roses, hhavy (30^1^) of triunpvt erwper, :■ v i : 1* 1 " There was h rudp scatat the made of the |hltleHdighs of ihe white ’ [indepejTdent in everything.} biTch, twisted together in fantastic fashion 7 and here grandmother Harrington was wont to sit with her gray woolen knitting work. Oh 1 what a treat we used to think it to spend a half holiday with Kate Har rington. “ I wish I were you, Kate,” exclaimed Annette, after we had spent half the long summer afternoon chasing butterflies, and arranging a vegetable baby-house, with hollyhocks for your ladies’ parasols, and tea-pots manufactured out of veritable P°PPJ -pods. "I wish I were you, and then I could be happy all day long, with nothing to trouble me.” “You could, could you ?" and Kate’s cheeks flushed, as she put away from th(jiu tier heavy bands of black-hair. “ Ypu that’s all you know about it. I have a thousand things to vex me.— There’s Rose, for, instance. Mother ex pects me to be constantly taking care of her, and she’s the greatest little torment you ever saw. By the way, girls, let’s start after those strawberries in the wood, now she’s out of sight for a minute, so she wont tease to go with us !” We were just about half-way across the meadow, when we heard a sweet voice cry ing: too.” . turned round, I remember, and thought how beautiful was the little creature coin ing towards us. She was very unlike her sister Kate. Kate was a brunette, but the little white robed figure'tripping across the meadow, had a pale, spiritual face, and long curls of golden hair filing to her tiny waist. There was a flhsh on her cheek, and a lootr of eager, beseeching interest in her large, blue eyes; and she stretched her dimpled arms toward us, and kept crying in her earnestness : “ Please, girls, wait for Rose/ A look of vexation crossed Kate’s face, and she called otit in a tone of extreme irritability: u Go back, Ilose.j you’re too little to come! Go back ! go back !”' Kate always had a way of being minded, and the little one put her fingers to her eyes, and silently turned toward the house. ™ e hurried' on in the direction of the wood, without giving a single glance back wuid. I think Kate s conscience reovoach ed her for her selfishness, and I know my own pleasure was spoiled for the afternoon. We found plenty of strawberries, red and npe among their bed of leaves. There were little blue-eyed blossoms, too, that kept reminding me of Rosie, and I was not sorry when the sunset shadows length ened, and wc turned to go home. ° We had gone down the hill out of the wood and crossed several rods of the meadow-land, when Kate said, 1 iu a horse whisper: “See there, girls, what is that white thing by x the brook ? Do you see it ?” We saw it, and'hurried toward it. It j '^ as Kosc. At first we thought she was dead. Scarcely seemed the faintest breath to steal from her parted lips, and the pul sations of her heart were so weak you coulu scarcely feel them. She was iu a kind of trance-like sleep. It was some time before we succeeded iu waking her, and then her limbs seemed chilled and stiffened by the subtile dampness of the meadow-land atmosphere. l She could not stand. How many times that afternoon the little darling had begged us to “make a chair” for her, with our hands, and we had answered that we couldn’t stop. We ■made one now. She twined her dimpled arms about our necks, and held on very tight, but she didn’t speak, except once, and then she bnly said, “ Ain’t I most big enough, sister Kate ?” i ° Mrs. . Harrington met us at the door with a wild look of alarm. “ Good heav ens, Kate I” she exclaimed ; “ what’s the matter with Bose ?” And taking her from our arms, she discovered that her clothes were almost saturated with mois- ture. “ Kate, child, why don’t yon speak ? Has Rose been in the water ?” “No, ma’am; but she went into the meadow, and got to sleep, and we found her there sleeping.”. _ Oh, there were anxious hearts in Deacon Harrington’s brown house that night.— Very tenderly was the suffering little Rose cradled, on her mother’s breast, but not puce, did she speak coherently. Her cheeks burned, and her eyes sparkled with fever j her dimpled armswero tossed above her head, and every little while, between her moans, she would stretch but her hands towards some imaginary object, and say : “ Please, sister Kate, isn’t Rose most biff enough?” / ' ; Three days pasted—-days of in cespant watching and weariness—-and toward even ing little Rose opened her blue eyes, after a restless slumber.. She seemed much better, and the mother glanced hopefully up to the kind physician bending overber. ' V,l cannot' say she’s better, nadam.~ Go 4 knows I wish I could ; but Rose must idfe^ftra midnight tears 'stood in glittering drops on the good man’s cheeks. The Sfcequietly lifted her darling from the bes> and sat down .with, in, her arms. Kato stood by, Sobbing as If already the brand of Cain were upon her brow. “ Please, sister Kate; Hose wants to go “ P’ease, mamma,” said the little one at length—am I big enough to go heaven V* u e8 > darling,” was the tearful answer. “ Jesus loves little children.” “ And, mamma, do you s’pose he’ll for give me for sitting down in the- meadows to watch Katie, when you told me I mustn’t stay there ?” “ Yes, my pet, the good Saviour will forgive you for anything, if you arc only sorry; but Rosie doesn’t want to go to heaven, and leave mother, does she?” “I heard somebody say, I must go, when I was asleep, mother; a beautiful lady, with oh ! such white, shining wings, and she stretched out her arms to take me, but I didn’t go. I woke up jus Wo kiss you and sister once more. ' P’easo kiss-me, Katie. ’lttle Rose won’t never bo naugh ty any more up in heaven, and I’ll grow big before you come, Katie, so X can play with you up there !” There were tears, sighs, a funeral, and a little coffin. The rosebud opened its petals on the bosom of J>sus. The little earth-flower was “ big enough for heaven.” Our Creed. We believe in small farms and thorough cultivation. D We believe that soil loves to eat, as wall as its owner, and ought, therefore to be manured. v We believe in large crops which leave the land better than they found it—ma king the farmer and the farm rich at once. We believe in going to the bottom of things, and, therefore, in deep, plowing, and enough of it. All the better if with a subsoil plow. e believe that every farm should own a good farmer. We believe that the best fertilizer of any soil, is a spirit of industry, enterprise and intelligence—without this, limo and gypsum, bones and green manure, marl uud guano, will be of little use. We believe in good fences, good barns, good farm-houses, good stock, good or chards, and children enough to gather the fruit. 4 We believe in a clean kitchen, a neat wife in it, a spinning-piano, a clean cub board, a clean dairy, and a clean conscience. \\ c firmly disbelieve in farmei's that will not improve; in farms that grow poorer every year; in starving cattle ;in fanners’ boys turning into clerks and mer chants ; in farmers’ daughters unwilling to work, and in all farmers ashamed of their vocation, or who drink whiskey till honest people are ashamed of them.— Henry Ward Seccher. Influence of the Moon on Plants. —l. \ ines, if pruned when the moon is increasing in light, will shoot out, spread, and grow fast, particularly if done in the second quarter, because, as the light of the moon increases, so does the sap in the tree. 2. Vines, if pruned when the; moon is decreasing in light, wil| not spread nor grow fast, particularly if it be done during the last quarter, because the sap decreases with the light. 3 Timber cut down when the moon is increasing will soon become rotten, par ticularly if she be in her second quarter. • Timber cut down when the moon is decreasing, will last for years, and the more durable it will be if cut down during the last quarter. b 5. Peas Sown during the moon’s increase will bloom to the last, and will bo full and rich in flavor; still more certain if sown during the second quarter. 6. Peas sown when the moon is decreas ing in light will be just in the opposite condition. <* Jhe age to which a pomgranato will live depends on the moon’s age at the time of planting; it will live just as'many years as the moon was days old. 8. Plants and shrubs sbootup and take little root, if planted when the mbon is decreasing in light, and in the zodiacal signs, Gemini, Libra, or Aquarjns. 9. If planted when in thesigns Taurus, Virgo, pr Capricornus, they take deep root and do not grow tall. \\ B@> Aa editor had a bottle of London Dock Gin presented him, and after drink ing the whole of it, he wrote a notice” of it .

After considerable pondering he resolved to offer htmself in marriage to a certain m«nbcr 6f his dock. No .feooner jvas the, plan formed than it.was put into praetn&uid getting out his cane, he speedily reached tho dwelling of his mistress. - : : . It chanced to be on Monday mornihg. a day which many New England readers need not he told is better knotih ing-day. Unconscious of the honor that wash, tended, the lady was standing behindthe tub in the back kitchen, with her arms immersed in the suds, busily engagedin occupation, which to say the least of it, is more useful than romantic. There was a loud knock at the door’ 1 “Jane, go to the door, and-if it is any body to see mo, tell them I am ongagea and cannot see taem.” ■ < The message was faithfully rehears^' “ Toll your mistress that IshoaUsee : I-" ' _ her.” Tell him to call this' afternoon,” said the lady, « and I will sec himi” ft was unavailing. , ' > v “ I most sea her now,” said the minis bfir, tell nie where she is.” ; ; j ; |So saying, he followed; the scrvantinto to the great’ surprise of Her mistress. ■ ‘ •, ■: ■ “filiks——, I hare eoiho to the.com clusipnj tp many; will you the minister'sopening speech. T . . . , llavo you!” replied the astonished lady. “This ft a singular time to: differ yourself. Such an important step should bo made a matter of prayer and delibera tion.” “ Lct us pray I” was Mr. B.’s only re sponse , as he knelt down , beside, the tub, and prayed that a union might he formed which would enchance the hhppineSfT of both parties. His prayer was answered and from this union thus singularly firm ed, has sprang a family remarkable for talent and piety. Time:—A singular word is thatword called “time”—not unlike the word> ;• Leri,” of which, by a chaugaof the le£- teisj sovcrul words niuy bp p)an(\; _ v^e Jive.” Some plodding genius has discovered, while spending His own time, that the word Time, when artificial ly transposed, or metagrammatized, will form the following words: meti, emit, Item.
