Whittier's Corn Song.
Heap high up the farmer's wintry hoard,
Heap high the golden corn
No richer gift has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn.
Let other lands, exulting, glean
The apple from the pine,
'oe o'ange frorr the glossy green,
The , `uster from the vine.
We bt lo e the hardy gift
Oui ruggea vales bes.ow,
To cheer ue when the storm shall drift
Ou liarveo• fields with snow.
Through vales of grass and flowers,
Our plows th - ir furrows made,
While on the hills the sun and showers
Of changing April r - Ayt d.
We drop the need o'er bill and plain,
Beneath the Sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber -sows away.
All thrattei the long bright days of June,
Its leaves - 7ew bright and fair,
And waved ILL hot midsummer noon,
Its soft and snowy hair.
And now in autumn's moonlight e,—es,
It's harvest titoe ha. come; .
We pluck away its frosty leaves,
And bear it. '.l,;asures home.
Then richer than the fable gifts
Apollo showered of old,
Fair hands the broken grains shall sift,
And knead its meal of gold.
Let vap;( .ere roll in bilk
Around The costly board ;
Give us the bowl of samp and milk,
By homespun beauty poured.
Then shame on all he proud and vain,
Whose folly laughs to scorn ;
The blessings of -ur hearty grain,
Our wealth of golden corn.
Let earth withhold her goodly root,
Let mildew blight the rye ;
Give the worm the orchard fruit,
♦ad wheat-fields to the fly.
But let the good old corn adorn
The bills our fathers trod ;
Still let u:3 for the golden corn
Send up our thanks to God.
Labels for Trees.
The Germantown Telegraph whose hor
ticultural editor we have regarded as first
class authority, recommends the following
plan for labeling fruit and other trees : "It
is very nice to have all one's fruit trees
labeled both for our own and others' satis
faction, and we should adopt such a mate
rial that it will receive the writing clearly
and will last for years. We have tried
several, and the one that we prefer is made
of strips of zinc, with a hole bored at one
end and fastened with copper wire. Some
pieces of zinc appear oily and will not re.
ceice either chemical ink or pencil; but
all such should bo scratched with a fine
file or anything that will roufthen it. Some
of ears have been hanging from fifteen to
twenty years; but every year they should
be examined and loosened if getting too
tight upon the branch where fastened ;
and sometimes the wire will cut its way
out of the eyelet and needs replacing.
Another label, highly recommened in the
West, which we have not tried, but we
have no doubt of its adaptedness ; is to use
cedar, rah linseed oil over it, and write the
cams before it becomes dry, with a soft
black lead pencil. If fastened with copper
wire it would certainly last for wary years.
This label is easier made and cheaper, and
we recommend a trial of it."
The only objection we note to this plan
is that the duty of loosening the wires is
one which is very apt to be neglected. It
will be safer to have the zinc in longer
strips so that the unmarked part may be
coiled several times around one of the
smaller limbs ; then as the branch increases
in sin ,the coil will expand, and allow the
i n creass-a-oeVera I years growth. A strip
of zinc six to eight incties long and ope
inch wide will inako two labels, which
should' be one inch wide at- 43,tie end, and
tapering - neatly to a point at the other;
the narrow end may be coiled around the
limb and the wide one used for marking.
Improved Wheat.
Majo- liana, who is well known to the
agricultural world on account of the vari
ety of wheat bearing his name, lays down
the following rules as the result of his ex
perience in wheat improvement : "Very
close observation during many years bac
led me to the discovery that the variations
iu the cereals which Nature presents to us
are notAbi;hereditary:but_thatthey pro
ceed upon a fixed praciple, and from them
I have deduced the following law of devel
opitent4: cereals : 1. Every fully-devel
-304 plant, whether of wheat, oath or bar-
ley, presents an ear supetiOr in productive
power to any of the rest on that plant, 2.
Every such plant contains one grain, which,
upon, trial, proves more productive than
any other. 3. The best grain in a given
plant is found in its best ear. 4. The su
perior vigor of this grain is transmissible in
different degrees in its progeny. 5. By
repeated careful selection the superiority
is accurnula t ted. 6. The improvement,
which ifoak first -rapid, gradually, after a
long series of years, is diminished in
amount, and evidently so far arrested that
practically speaking, a limit to improve
ment in the desired quality is reached. 7.
13/ j4sll-continuirg to select, the improve
went is maintained, and practically a fix
ed type is the result." The Major at the
commencement of his attempts to improve
wheat assumed that the habit of producing
wire than two grains in a chest, which is
only occasional in our common crops, could
by proper selection be very much inert is
ed and enlarged as a proof of the correct
mess of this theory he has produced heads
with five and six grains in a cluster, ten
asd twelve in a circle around the head,
with one hundred and twenty three grains
per . hod.. Be by the same means has
wnitiqrfuliy ivicreased the tilling power of
the plant uutil with grains nine inches
apart each way, he obtains an ample crop
of strw and en unusual yield of grain.
TOO LONG WHIFFLETREES ON PLOUGHS.
—Most ploughmen have so long whiffle
tr Ala t trit is often impracticable to make
an i,..;"
_gh,.!rork satisfactorily.. Es-
T
cel e ns ploughs are denounced as worth
less and rejected, simply because the double
whiffietree or the ox yoke was too long,yet
the ploughman never suspects wherein
consists the true cause of the difficulty
Our own practice from boyhood has been
to make double wliiffietrees for ploughing
never more than two feet between the point
of attachment to the singletrees, which
were about twenty-three inches in length.
When it was desirabie to plough narrow
film:MP-slices, the singletrees were attached
only twenty-three inches apart. Let a
ploughman attempt to plough with a
double-tree six feet in length, and be will
readily understand why a plough will not
run correctly when the double-tree is too
long. The plough will be drawn too far
from the furrow to the unploughed ground,
unless the ploughman makes a constant
effort to prevent the implement from cut
ting a furrow slice wider than can be prop
erly turned over.
ONION MAGOOTS.—Before concluding
that nothing will destroy the onion mag
got, let readers pour over the bed attacked,
water just off the boil, and perhaps they
will be surprised to find how much more
heat the vegetable can stand than maggot
life.—London Journal of Horticulture.
Al=o tke
Growing Old.
It the solemn thought connected with
middle life that life's last business is begun
in earnest ; and it is then, midway between
the cradle and the grave, that a man be
gins to marvel that he let the days of
youth go by so half-enjoyed. It is the
pensive autumn feeling; it is the sensation
of half sadness that we experience when
the longest day of the year is past, and
every day that follows is shorter, and the
light fainter, and the feeble shadows tell
that nature is hastening with gigantic foot
steps to her winter grave. So does man
look back upon his youth. When the first
gray hairs become visible, when the un
welcome truth fastens itself upon the mind
that a man is no longer going up hill, but
down, and that the sun is always westering
be looks back on things behind. When
we were children, we thought as children.
But now there lies before us manhood,
with its earnest work, and then old age,
and then the grave, and then home. There
is a second youth for man, better and
holier that his first, if he will look on, and
not look back.—F. W. Robertson.
Life's Duty.
THE life of duty, of simple allegiances
to the law of God, of self restraint for His
sake, of passions suppressed because they
may not be lawfully indulged, and so
springing up in new forms, in the strength
of glorious enthusiasm or manly usefulness,
the life which makes the moral being its
prime care—this is manna But if the
youth tire of this, suffer it to pall upon
him, murmur at it, revert in memory to
conquered temptations, linger in wilful
imagination on forbidden sins, look back
from the plough, become first morose,
sullen, discontented, then weak and waver
ing. and so slide subtly into the treason of
idleness, and from this into wandering de
sires into guilty pleasures, and from guilty
pleasures into godlessness and death-0
how can the taste of the manna survive
the reek of these Egyptian fulness ?—bow
can the violets of purity and humility
bloom and shed their fragrance under the
coarse, foul upas tree of sensual passions?
—how can the delicate pulses of spiritual
aspirations beat pure and evenly amid
these force and frightful fever beats of
the carnal life ?—Canon Farrar.
Little Stories.
CHARMING little stories one finds in Le
Figaro. A Paris sculptor, who had amass
ed a comfortable fortune, was in the habit
of receiving at his table every day certain
friends. The company was always the
same his guests became pensioners upon
his bounty, and naturally his servant held
them in supreme contempt and made no
effort to disguise the feeling. One day
the sculptor met one of his comrades whom
he bad not seen for many a year, and invit
ed him to dine with him. At the table,
the servant, in pouring the wine and pass
ing the dishes, had the air of saying,
"Stuff yourself this time, poor devil !.'
The guest, accustomed to the bad manners
of Paris waiters, paid no attention to this
by play. At ten o'clock he took his leave,
and, pressing his friend's hand in the hall
said, "Well, I shall see yo, next year, on
my return from Athens." 'lc lvd not
gone twenty steps when the servant j ,fined
him, with an air of sincere repentance,
and saidin a low tone: "Ali pardon me,
sir; I took you at first for a friend of the
house."
Doing God's Will.
When prayer, love, faith, watching, fast
ing and all those exercises of virtue which
a-2 the proper ornaments and fair fruits
of the soul, are joined with the commun•
ion of the Spirit, they then send forth a
rich and grateful odor, like frankincense
cast into the fire; and then it becomes
easy to walk uniformly in the will of God.
But, without the Holy Spirit, it is impos
sible for any one to comprehend His will.
And as a woman before she is joined in
marriage to a husband, lives according to
her own mind, and follows her own will;
but, when both are made one, she lives
wholly under him as her head, and ceases
to behold all things with reference to her
self alone; in like manner the soul, though
it has its will, its own rules, and its own
actions, yet, when it has been accounted
worthy to be united to Christ, becomes
subject to the rules ofthe Bridegroom, and
no longer follows it. own will but only
that of Christ.
The Bible.
Do you know a book that. you are will
ing to put under your head for a pillow
when you lie dying? Very well ; that is
the book you want to study while you are
living. There is but one such book in the
world. For one, I have not made up my
mind to put under my head when I lie
dying., anything written by Voltaire, cr
Strauss, or Parker. We are to be scien
tifically careful when we choose a book for
a dying pillow, I will tell you what you
want for a pillow of fire in life—that is,
the Bible, spiritually and scientifically un
derstood by being transmuted into deeds.
Sentiment is worth nothing until it be
comes principle, and principle is worth
nothing until it becomes action. —Joseph
Cook's Lertitre.
_--t-~
Prayer.
Prayer requires more of the heart than
of the tongue, of sighs than of words, of
faith than of discourse. The eloquence
of Prayer consists in the fervency of de
sire, in the simplicity of faith, and in the
earnestness and perseverance of charity.
The abundance and choice of fine thought,
studied and vehement motions, and the
order and politeness of the expressions,
are things which compose a mere human
6rrangue, nA an humble and Christian
prayer. Our trust and confidence ought to
proceed from that which God is able to do
in us, not that which we can say to God.—
Quesnel.
Honey from the Scriptures.
Do not think it enough if you learn to
spell and read, and to say the words of the
Scriptures, but seek to learn the truths of
the Scriptures. Do as the bees do. A bee.
when it sees a flower, does not fly round
and round it, and then fly off again, like
foolish, idle butterflies. It settles on the
flower and sucks the honey out of it. You
should do as the bees do; ycu should set
tle your thoughts on what you read, and
try to suck the honey out of it. Almost
every verse in the New Testament has its
honey. Almost every verse contains a
spiritual truth, fit to nourish some soul or
other.
THOSE who sow early may live to reap
the reward of tleir labor. This has often
been realized by experience, and is forci
bly illustrated in this simple verse :
A raven once an acorn took
From Bashan's tallest tree ;
Ho laid it down beside a brook,
And lived an oak to see.
HE that is much in prayer shall grow
rich in grace. He shall thrive and in
crease most that is busiest in this which is
our very traffic with heaven, and fetches
the most precious commodities thence.

For DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION, Jaundice, Bilious

This unrivaled Southern Remedy is warranted not to
contain a single particle of Mercury, or any injurious min
,eral substance, but is
PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs, w hich an all
wise Providence has placed in countries where Liver Dis
eases most prevail. It will cure all diseases caused by de
rangement of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a bitter or bad
taste in the mouth; Pain in the back, sides or joints, oft
en mistaken for Rheumatism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Ap
petite; Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache;
Loss of memory, with a painful sensation of having failed
to do something which ought to have been done; Debility,
Low Spirits, a thick yellow appearance of the Skin and
Eyes, a dry cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometime. many of these symptoms attend the disease,
at others very few; but the LIVER, the largest organ in
the body, is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
regulated in time, great suffering, wretcnedness and death
will ensue.
I can recommend as an efficacious remedy for disease of
the Liver, Heat thorn and Dyspepsia, Simmons' Liver
Regulator. hrwis G. WUNDIX, 1620 Master Street, As
sistant Poet Master, Philadelphia.
"We have tested its virtues, personally, and know that
for Dyspepsia, Biliousness, and Throbbing Headache, it is
the best medicine the world ever saw. We have tried 40
other remedies before Simmons' Liver Regulator, but none
of them gave us more Alex temporary relief ; but the Reg
ulator not only relieved, but cured us."—ED. TELEGRAPH
AND MESSINGER, Macon, Ga.
BAD BREATH!
Nothing is so unpleasant, nothing so common as bad
breath, and in nearly every case it comes from the stom
ach, and can be so easily corrected if you wilt take Sim
mons' Liver Regulator. Do not neglect so sure a remedy
cur this rerrilsive disorder. It will also improve your ap
petite, complexion and general health.
SICK HEADACHE!
This distressing affliction occurs most frequently. The
disturbance of the stomach, arising from the Imperfectly
digested contents, causes a severe pain in the head,accom
panted with disagreeable-naus a, and this constitutes what
is popularly known as Sick ilerdache. For prompt relief
