Seems warm as Summer's day.
The snow-pluni'd Angel of the North
Has dropped his icy spesr ;
Again the mossy earth looks forth,
Again the streams gush clear.
The fox his hill-side cell forsakes,
The muskrat leaves his nook,
The blue bird in the meadow brakes
Is singing with the brook.
"Bear up, oh I mother Nature I" cry
Bird, brueze, and streamlet free,
"Our Winter voices prophesy
Of Summer days to thee !"
So, in those winters of the soul,
By bitter blasts and drear,
O'erswept from memory's frozen pole,
Will sunny days appear.
Reviving Hope and Faith, they show
The soul its living powers,
And how beneath the Winter's snow
Lie germs of Summer flowers I
The Night is Mother of the Day,
The Winter of the Spring,
And ever upon old Decay
The greenest mosses cling.
Behind the cloud the starlight lurks,
Through showers'the Ku:damns fall ;
For God, who loiPeth all his works,
Hath left his Hope with all.
HONOR THY P.&IMIINii6
As a stranger went into the churchyard of
a pretty village, he beheld three children at a
newly-made grave. A boy, about ten years
of age, was busily engaged in placing plats
of turf about it, while a girl, who appeared a
year or two younger, held in her apron a lbw
roots of wild flowers. The .third child, still .,
younger, was sitting on the gross, watching,
with thoughtful look the movements of the
other two. The girl soon began planting
some of her wild flowers around the; head of
the grave, when the•stranger addressed them.
"Whose grave is this, children, about which
you are so busily engaged ?"
"Mother's grave, sir," said the boy.
"And did your father send you to place
these flowers around your mother's grave r
"No, sir ; father, - lies here 'toe, '.and little

GIVIXO .TOl - TO .t —Blessed be the
hand that prepares a pleasure for a child, for
there is no saying when and where it may
again bloom forth. Does not almost every
body remember some kind-hearted man who
showed him a kindness in the dulcet days of
his childhood? The writer of this recollects
himself at this moment, as a barefooted lad,
standing at the wooden fence of a poor little
garden in his native village, while with long
ing eyes he gazed on the flowers which were
tlooming there quietly in the brightness of a
Sunday morning. I The possessor came forth
from his little cottage ; he was a wood-cutter
by trade, and spent the whole week at work
i s the woods. He had come into the garden
to gather flowers to stick into his coat when
he went to chureh. He saw the boy, and
breaking off the most beautiful of his yams
tioas—it *as streaked with red and white—
hegave it to him. Neither the giver nor the
receiver spoke a word, and with bounding
steps the boy ran home. And now here, at
a vast distance from that home, after so many
events of so many years, the feeling of rati
tude whit agitated the breast of that boy ex
presses itself on paper. The carnation has
long since withered, but now it blooms
afresh. —Douglas Jerrold.
A DAY. —A Day ! It has risen upon us from
the great deep of eternity, girt round with
winder; emerging from the womb of dark
nets ; a new creation of life and light spoken
into being by thd word of God. In itself one

fillet and emt4ied of the sun. Every past
gemration is represented in it ; it is the flow

and better than all other days which have
premded it. And'vre have been recreated to
new opportunities, with new powers—called
to dis utm l ost promontory of actual time, this
centre of all coming life. And it is for to
day's work we have been endowed ; it is for
this we are pressed and surrounded with these
facitties. The sum of our entire being is
concentrated here ; and to-day is all the time
we absolutely have.Chapin.

How Tlik. SCOTTLILI SHENIEV.D3 EDUCATE
Tam CHILDREN.—CoIoneI Maxwell and Mr.
Sellar, British Commissioners engaged in an
inquiry into the state of education in Scotland,
report that there are no classes who display
more anxiety for the education of Weir chil
dren than the shepherds of Scotland. "In nine
cases out of ten," they say, "the shepherd's
house is far from any road : it may be separa
ted even from a pathway by a river, or a
mountain, or a morass, hardly passable in
summer for children, but impassable in win
ter. Yet it is an uncommon thing to meet a
shepherd who is unable to read and write, and
their children are always taught, by some
means or other, at least the elements of educa
tion. Last summer Hr. Seller met two little
children, a boy and a girl, aged nine and
teven, in the middle of a wild moor in the
fighlands. They were five or six miles from
their father's house, who had an outlying herd
ing some seven miles from any road, and eight
or nine from any habitation. He asked them
where they were going. They said it was
Saturday, and they were going home from
school, five miles off, and had to be back a
gain early on the Monday morning.
"He went a little way with them and met,
their father and mother coming to meet them.
The shepherd told him that they went every
Monday to board with another shepherd for
the week, and that he and the other herd kept
a lad between them to educate their children.
This lad cost him .ca 10s. per annum, and he
had to pay the weekly board for his children
besides. Ile did not know what that would
be, but the other shepherd was a reasonable
man and would not cbarge more than he could
help• 'And you see, sir, we must give them
what we can when they are young, as they
must do for themselves very early. The lad
does not take them far on ; just reading, writ
ing. and a little counting. If they get that
well, and maybe a little bit sewing for the las
sie, that's all the schooling I care for; but
they must get that, or they will never be any
thing but herds all their lives.' This is no is
solated
instance. We heard of several other
cases where education was procured at great I
personal sacrfice by shepherds for their chil- 1
dren."
ExrANDrxc, rna LUNGS. — Step out into the
purest air you can find ; stand perfectly erect,
with the head up and the shoulders back, and
then fixing the lips as though you were going
to whistle, draw the air, not through the nos
trils, but through the lips into the lungs.—
When the chest is about half full, gradually
raise the arms, keeping them extended with
the palms of the hands down as you suck in
the air so. as to bring them over the head just
as the lungs are quite full. Then drop the
thumb inward, and after gently forcing the
arms backward, and tine chest open, reverse
the process by which you draw your breath,
till the lungs are empty. This process should
be repeated three or four times immediately
after bathing, and also several times through
the day. It is impossible to describe to one
who has never tried it, the glbrious sense of
vigor Which follows this exercise. It is the
best expectorant in the world.

RICHES THRUST UPON HIM.
Someipen are born rich, others make them
selves Aih, while a third happy class have'
riches thrust upon them. Such is the story
told of a farmer, one Mr. Sayre, of Lexington,
Ky., who made a great hit in spite of himself.
It is as follows :
Mr. Sayre lisps a little. .9 Some years since
an overseer of one of his farms told him •he
needed some hogs on, his, place. Said Mr.
Sayre:
"Very Well, go and buy four or five thows
and pigths right away, and put them on the
farm."
The man accustomed to obey, and• that
without questioning, asked :
"Shall I take the money with me to pur
chase with?"
"No, thir 1 They . all know me. Thend
them here—lll pay for them, or give yon the
money to pay when you get them.'
The overseer went his way, and in two
weeks returned, when the following conver
sation took place :
"Well; Kr. Sayre, I can't get that, many
pigs. I have ridden all over the country, all
abOut, and can get but between eight and nine
hundred."
"Eight or nine hundred what?
Eight or nine hundred pigs !"
"Eight y or nine hundred pigthe ? Who told
you to buy that many pigths ? Are you a
fool ?"
"You told me to buy them two weeks since
I have tried to do it."
"Eight or nine hundred pigths ! My God !
I never tOld you any thatch thing !"
"But yOu did ; you told me to go and buy
four or nye thousand pigs!"
"I diden't do any such thing ! My God ! I
told you 6 go and buy four or five thows and
their little pigs : and you have done it, I
thould dty."
Mr. Sayre had pork to sell next fall. Pork
rose, and Mr. Sayre made his pile.

have to tell them, and then they are likely to

PRETTY POOR PRACTICER.
"Cosmos," who edits the rural column of
the Saturday Evening Post, thus enumer
ates a list of pretty poor practices :
It is pretty poor practice for a farmer to dig
and delve, tug and grub, and clear up fifty
acres of land at a cost of $2,000, and then la
the third year surrender about a if* of It to
the briers, brambles and ox-e7e Mules.
Poor practice to half manure, half plough,
half seed and half cultivate a field, and .then
harvest from it less than half a crop.
To keep two inferior, scrawny, scrub cows
for dairy purposes, that give less milk than
one good one, and consumt more food than
three.
To purchase in town 500 Toads of livery *a
ble manure, and suffer 600 of better home
made manure to run to waste.
To attempt" to fatten three hogs into 1200
,Eunds of pork on just as much teed as would
!Cep two nicely growing.
To estimate agricultural fairs as 'mut hum
bugs, and spend three days every month
Saving the country at political meetings.
To depend upon borrowing your neighbors'
rakes, mowers, and all sorts of implements, In
haying and harvest time.
,!To house up - a thousand bushels of grain,
waiting for a rise, till one-tenth ham, gone to
fee4l rats and mice, and the remaindg smells
like the essence of rat, and the price is down
40 per cent.
To plant out an orchard of choice fruit
trees with a first thought of money-Making,
and lean them to do or die.
To keep two fancy firs hundred dollar car
riage horses, and-pay six dollars a day for a
team to plow.
It is positively a poor practice to call "book
larnin" all bosh, to ignore news and agricul
tural papers, and attempt to keep up an even
yoke with your progressive neighbors 'try
main strength and stupidness.
TO PROTECT CORN p X THE CUT
WORE.
There seem to be different opinions about
the advantages of soaking corn in gas tar,
previous to planting. Our own experience' is
that unless the !season Is very wet, the gas tar
acts on a grain of porn as it does , when ap
plied to roots and fences to presscre them, by
preventing the access of moisture. Thaeoat
ing of tar interferes with the alisorption by
the corn of the necessary moisture for germi
nation. Ours has laid in the ground for
weeks in the same condition as when planted,
the tar first, and-then the plaster It was rolled
on. covering it completely, and apparently
preventing its sprouting. A far better plan
to keep off the cut worm is to drop a table
spoonful of coarse salt on the top of each hill
soon after planting. This is carried. down
by the rains, and acts as a fertilizer, besides
destroying the cut worm. Salt is peculiarly
obnoxious to this class of insects, and perhaps,
all classes.
Some of our friends, instead of putting the
salon the hill, spread about eight bushels
the acre broadcast upon their cornfields after
ploughing, and before harrowing. This is
also a very profitable application. •
4: REEN ;,FORAGE.
The necessity of having a supply of green
forage for soiling is every year becoming ap
parent. Rye, vetches, red clover, lucerne and
maize may be used for this purpose with good
effect. When rye is sown in the usual time
in the fall it yields a large supply of green
food early in the spring, and is well adapted
for forage for horses. When rye begins to
form grain it is too ripe for fodder, and should
be superseded by red clover or vetches. The
latter make nutritious food for horses, cattle
and hogs. Every farmer should have s few
acres of them to come iu succession. Thiscan
be done by having a few weeks between each
sowing.
