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.—

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. \\

An eminent divine, who is aswelllcnown
as he is universiilly r&pected, many years
81006 was ledjtor the conelns!6h that'«it is
not well for a man to be alone." 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

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. And if the aforenamed, and its ant*
agarms placed in the following quad*
ratio position, they will form what ntiyf 1
be termed an i anagrammatic palindaome i
This word Time is the only word'ib’tjSe
English language which can be thitt ar
ranged, and the different transpositions
thereof are all, at the same time,
words. These words in English, as well
as Latin ; may be read either upwards or
downwards. The English words, time,
item, meti, and emit (td send forth) are
mentioned above; and of the Latin ones
—l. Time, signifies fear thou; 2, Item,
likewise; 3. Meti, to bo measured ;; Emit,
