Harvest Hymn.
JOHN G. WHITTIER
Once more the liberal year laughs ont
O'er richer stores than gems or gold ;
Once more with harvest song and shout
Is nature's bloodless triumph told.
Our common mother rests and sings
Like Ruth among her garnered sheaves ;
Her lap is full of goodly things,
Her brow is bright with Autumn leaves.
0, favors old, yet ever new I
0, blessings with the sunshine sent I
The bounty overruns our due,
The fullness shames our discontent.
We shut our eyes, the flowers bloom ou ;
We murmur, but the corn ears fill ;
We choose the shadow, but the suu
That casts it shines behind us still.
God gives us with our rugged soil
The power to make it Eden-fair,
And richer fruit to crown our toil
Than Summer-wedded islands bear.
Who murmurs at his lot to-day?
Who scorns his native fruit and bloom,
Or sighs for dainties far away,
Besides the bounteous board of home ?
Thank heaven, instead, that Freedom's arm
Can change a rocky soil to gold ;
That brave and generous lives can warm
A clime with northern ices cold.
And by these altars wreathed with flowers,
And fields of fruits, awake again
Thanksgiving for the golden hour,
The early and the later rain.
Sheltering Vehicles and Machines.
Notwithstanding the number of carts,
and mowing -machines, and horse-rakes,
and other tools that we see standing by
the road-side or in the field, the year
round, most farmers believe in the economy
of housing all these things. They know
that iroa rusts, and that wood-work swells
and shrinks with the changes of the
atmosphere. They think it is only a
question of time that the new carriage
house or shed shall be built, where the
scattered tools and vehicles will have a
permanent home. This waiting to provide
the needed shelter is the most expensive
kind of saving. The elements are all the
while at work, depreciating the value of
the wood and iron that are exposed to the
weather. A scythe and snath hung in a
tree through one season is old, warped
and rusty. Stored in the tool room, it is
a little changed in look or value; no re
pairs are wanted, and it is ready for use
as soon as the grass is ready. The new
cart that is left by the roadside soon goes
to pieces; even if painted, the paint soon
wears off; the sun cracks paint and wood,
the heat expands the cracks, tho rain
enters *he openings, and decay commences,
the joints become loose, the felloes and
the spokes shrink in dry weather, and the
tire must be set often to keep the vehicle
in running order. Farmers often overes
timate the expense of a tool or wagon
house. If they have :timber or building
stone upon their farms, very little money
need be laid out to put all running gear
under cover. A roof and siding to keep
out rain is the main thing. Flooring is
not needed. The bare earth under all
wooden wheels with tires, if dry, will
answer instead of plank. Just enough
moisture is absorbed from the earth to
keep the wheel in good condition. The
tire will not need setting so often. A
shed set upon a hank wall makes a good
shelter, and is within reach of most farm
ers Ankeric,co Aarintlturist.
Temper of the Horse.
- is recommended that in purchasing
a horse it should be borne in mind that
there is a direct relation between the
horse's forehead and its'disposition and
qualities. The face must be very broad
between the eyes, but it should taper a
little as it approaches the ears. If the
breadth is carried all the way upwards, the
top of the head will be too wide, the ears
ill set, and the horse probably sulky. As
in the human being, so in the horse, a
great deal of the expression, of the cowl
tenanoe depends on the eye. It is a most
marvelous index to the working of the
wind within. A glianee
. at it will often
reveal the benevolent feeling, the sulky
disposition, or the vicious propensity that
is about to manifest itself. The reason of
all chits must be most obvious, when we
remember that it is in direct communica
tion with the brain—the material instru
ment through which the mind operates.
The eye of the horse should be kindly,
strong, bold and fiery, yet gentle-looking.
it shoug not show much white, as that
ofte% indicates a vicious disposition. A
horse that is looking back so far [as to
expose the white of his eye is generally on
the alert for mischief, and is not to be
trusted with his heels.. The eye gives a
strong indication both of the temper and
temperatement of the animal; and it is
easy to judge from it whether activity or
sluggishness prevails most.
Feeding Pork.
Pork is now lower than it has been for
thirty years, and the prospect for those
who may have many hogs is not. agreeable.
Yet it would not be wise to sacrifice good
herds on this account. Those who have
not, will find this a good opportunity to
weed out their stock, and replace it with a
better quality of animals in preparation
for the Lime which is certain to come,
when pork shall again, bear a profitable
value. The chief profit from pure bred
stock consists in its early maturity ; and
that a pig of a well selected breed and
properly fed, can be made fit for the barrel
at less than a year old, makes it of far
greater worth than one which requires two
years to arrive at a saleable condition. To
keep only the best stock should be the
aim of every one who rears animals for
sale; and there is no better time to begin
to improve one's stock than when the
value is low, and it can be done at the
least expense.—American Agriculturist.

The Empty Cradle
Sad is the heart of the mother
Who sits by the lonely hearth.
Where never again the children
Shall waken their songs of mirth,
And still through the painful silence,
She listens for voice and tread,
Outside of the heart—there only
She knows that they are not dead !
Here is the desolate cradle,
The pillow so lately pressed,
But far away has the birdling
Flown from its little nest.
Crooning the lullabies over
That once were her babe's delight,
All through the misty spaces
She follows its upward flight.
Little she thought of a moment
So gloomy and sad as this,
When close to her heart she gathered
Her child for its good night kiss.
She should be tenderly cherished,
Never a grief should she know,
Wealth, and the pride of a princess,
These would a mother bestow.
And this is the darling's portion .
In Heaven—where she has fled ;
By angels securely guarded,
By angels securely led.
Brooding in sorrowful silence
Over the empty nest,
Can you not see through the shadows,
Why it is all for the best ?
Better the heavenly kingdom
Than riches of earthly crown ;
Better the early morning flight,
Than one when the sun is down ;
Better than empty casket,
Than jewels besmirched with sin ;
Safer than those without the fold
Are those that have entered in.
—The Scotchman
A Time to Die.
Dear reader, there are many reasons to
justify your anxious inquiry about your
future well being. The wonder is, not
that you are now so anxious; but that you
have lived so long without being so; yea,
the wonder is that all men do not feel the
same concern about their everlasing future
that you now feel. You do well to be
anxious, for remember
YOU ARE MORTAL !
You are destined to decay. It is the orig
inal curs° upon man's sin. "It is ap
pointed unto men once to die." Your
bodies are of dust. They have in them .
the very elements of dissolution. "Dust
to dust" is inscribed on the fairest fore
head. No fact is so certain and none so
solemn as this.
Again, you belong to a dying race.—
"One generation passeth away, and anothtr
generation cometh." Neither affection
nor piety can retain those who, being of
mortal mould, are destined to pass away
from the stage of life into the world un
seen. "Your fathers, where are they ?,
And the prophets, do they live foreve z ?"
You are marked victims of the Ic, i)g o f
Terrors. You are appointed to o:te. The
fact of your death, the time of your death,
the manner of your death, the place of
your death, are all as much, appointed as
the fact, the time, the place of your birth,
and the bounds of your present habitation.
The place that now knows you will know
you no more forever. Your name will
but life in memory ; you yourself will have
passed away. Tl).en your anxiety about
the world beyor,d death is reasonable. It
is the highor,t wisdom. And the more so
when yor' remember that death which is
certain as to the fact of it, is to you un
certain as to time of it. You must die,
some time. You may die at any time.—
You may die soon. You may die suddenly_
This year thou mayest die; yea, this night
thy soul may be required of thee. And,.
with these solemn facts before you, do you
not well to be anxious ? Do you no* well
,c;, inquire how you may die safely,, hew.
you may be saved. Were you expecting
to he summoned away suddenly and soon
to spend the rest of your days in some
foreign land, would you not often think
about it ; and would not the thought that
soon you would quit your country excite
peculiar reflections, and beget a different
estimate of things around you ? How
much more should you be excited to serious
reflection when you .. remember that soon
you will be called to quit earth forever.
Day of Judgment, day of wonders,
Hark! the trumpet's awful sound,
Louder than a thousand thunders,
Shakes the vast creation round :
How the summons
Will the sinner's heart confound l
See the Judge our nature wearing,
Clothed in majesty divine I
You who long for his appearing,
Then shall say, "This God is mine !
Gracious Saviour,
Own me in that day for thinc.
Cmusl. bath died, "the just fur the
unjust, that he might bring us to God.''
Tell it to that despairing sinner--that man
who is just about to seek escape from the
upbraiding of an angry conscience by the
terrible alternative of self-murder.—Go to
him. Be quick ! Tell him he need not
die, fur Christ has died—hath died to bear
his his sins away.
"Iv we be dead with Christ, we shall
also live with him." le who is born of
God and in whom God's seed remains,
died that he might be born, was born be
cause he bad died. am crucified with
Christ, nevertheless I live. Yet not I,
but Christ liveth in me."
SUSTAIN and comfort yourself in the
Lord, and be strong in his power if you
are under the Lord's crosses, fur you are
in the beaten and common way to heaven.

That Boy.
Dramatis personnw.—A young Ameri
can in roundabout and leggins, perched
upon the fence devouring a huge piece of
mince pie, and a maiden of five summers,
in pantalettes, looking very wishfully at
the gormand on the fence. Young America
—"I say sis, does your mar make mince
pies ? If she does I'll bet they ain't so
good as my mar's." Little Miss (timidly)
—"I like mince pie awful well." Young
America—" Well, now, that's funny ! Just
look here (drawing a quarter of a pie out
of his jacket pocket) and it's boss, too!
Ain't my mar good ?" (carefully stoking
it away in his pocket). That boy "is
father to the man" who must have his
cigars and any other masculine luxury his
contemptible selfishness craves, while his
poor sickly wife must do the work of two
women (girls waste more than they earn,"
he says) and for the want of a little money
to purchase "a few bottles of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite prescription, the sovereign reme
dy for female diseases and weaknesses, she
is literally dying by inches—and all be
cause of that masculine selfishness that
would not divide the childish luxury with
his playmate, and now tacitly refuses his
wife the luxury of health.
