The Old Home
The wild bird sings and the rivulet rung
So cheerily round the sp.,t
Where the peaceful shades of the towering hills
Fall dim on my mother's cot,
The windows are low and the thatch is low,
And its old stone walls are gray—
Oh ! I see it, I love it, where'er I go,
That old home far away.
The little clock ticks on the kitchen wall
To tell the passing hours,
And the woodbine is climbing round the cot,
With its sweetly scented flowers.
And the old arm chair, so cozy and low, i
Where mother did knit each day—
Oh ! I see it, I love it, where'er I go,
That old home far away.
My mother; I see her before me now,
Asleep in that old arm-chair,
With the sunshine tinging her wrinkled brow
That was once so smooth and fair:
Her crimpled border, as white as the snow,
And her dark brown hair turned grey
Oh ! I see it, f love it, where'er I go,
That old home far away.
And there's the white cow on its homeward
path,
As it comes so quiet along;
And the little maid with pail in her hand
Is singing that dear old song,
And the frolicsome lambs in that barnyard
Are gathering round to play—
Oh I I see it, I love it, where'er I go.
That old home far away.
Not all the pleasures the world can give,
No richess of land or sea,
Or the wealth or rank of earth's proud lords
Can e'er estrange from me
The roof that cover'd my dear mother's bead,
With the humble floor of clay—
Oh I I see it, I love it, N . % hereer I go,
That old home far away.
But alas I she has gone where all must go,
For we all shall pass away—
Yea ! even the cot that I love so well
Will crumble and decay ;
For this earth is only a resting place,
Its joys are ours for a day—
All my pleasure of life has center'd in
That old home far away.
Cultivation of Wheat.
It is much to be desired, now that the
breaking up of ground for the next crop
of wheat has commenced, that such of our
farmers as are impressed with the import
ance of thoroughly testing the suggested
improvements for the cultivation of that
staple crop, with a view to an increased
yield per acre, should direct their atten
tion in time to the subject. It is as yet
by no means settled that what is known in
this section as the Groff mode of drilling
wheat in furrows, between which the plow
is run in the spring, is superior to the
plan generally in use; but by those who
have given it a partial test, it is, with
some exceptions, claimed to be decidedly
so, and those who speak from the greatest
experience maintain that by the Groff
mode forty bushels can be raised, when
but thirty or thirty-five bushels can be
produced, under decidedly similar circum
stances, by the old plan—and this, too, at
no additional cost of cultivation. If this
be so, the new plan should be, and will be
universally adopted ; but it is not yet
settled that it is so, and that it is this
which we want to see settled now. This
can be done only by fair trial, on a scale
sufficiently large to make the result clear
and conclusive to the minds of all, and by
as many persons as possible, and in all the
divers qualities and conditions of soil in
our county. Five or ten bushels an acre
is a big thing in itself, and would be a
clear profit to the farmer, if it can be
produced by this process, as is claimed by
its advocates, and it is clearly the interest
of all our farmers to know whether the
thing can be done. And as this can only
be determined by actual experiment of
those farmers; they should see to it them
selves and settle the question.
What is wanted is to mark off, as here
tofore suggested by us, several acres in
the same field to be cultivated along side
of an equal quantity under the old process
—the circumstances of fertility of soil,
quantity, and area planted, being suffi
ciently extensive and so perfectly identi
cal as to leave no room for questioning
results. To make this teat thorough, all
that is necessary is to close up or remove
each alternate tube from the drill, so as to
leave sufficient space for plowing, when
the seed is drilled in this fall and next
spring to give the necessary attention to
the plowing of it. Mr. Groff has invent
ed a drill, with a shovel at the bottom of
the seed tube designed to scatter the seed
over the surface of the furrow, which no
doubt is advantageous; bat we think the
experiment may be tested with a simple
drill in the manner indicated above.—

Draining Land.
Draining plays a very important part in
successful and profitable farming. No mat
ter bow much fertilizing matter you may
put on a field, and how well you may at
tend to the crops you may plant therein,
if the place needs draining you will get
but meagre and unprofitable crops ; for the
land will remain wet, soggy and sour du
ring the wet weather, and will bake hard
and" solidon the surface during the hot
summer months, both of which are oppos
ed to rapid plant growth. The drain tile
now so much in use is by far the best ;
for it lasts infinitely longer than wood,
brush or stone drains commonly put in,
though it may cost more to put such a
drain down properly, the tiles, though not
very expensive, making up quite a sum
when a large piece is to be drained. It
pays however, which is what the farmer
really wishes to know. Some years ago
the writer set out in the spring a large
plantation of choice pear trees. Owing to
a dry season the trees made a handsome
growth. The season following being a
wet one the trees did very poorly, and the
year after this a few of them died. In
the fall of the latter year, suspecting the
cause, several thousand tiles were bought
—three-inch ones—and the ground thor
oughly drained. The spring after this
was done the trees made an early and vig
orous start, and have since not only borne
heavy crops of fine fruit, but have also
made good healthy growths of wood and
foliage. So much for the result of drain
age.
SAYS a recent writer : "So long as such
a large number of our farmers remain
careless and negligent about making per
manent and pleasant homes fbr their fam
ilies, without attractions and comforts,
they will continue nomadic in their habits,
while their children will seek other avo
cations whenever possible."

A Star in the Crown.
A young lady was preparing for the
dance hall, and standing before a large
mirror, placed a light crown ornamented
with silver stars upon her head. While
thus standing% a little fair-haired sister
climbed into a chair, and put up her tiny
finger to examine this head-dress, and was
accosted thus : "Sister, what are you
doing r You should not touch that crown !"
Said the little one : "I was looking at
that, and thinking of something else."
"Pray tell me what you are thinking about
a little child." I was temember_
ing that my Sabbath school teacher said,
that if we save sinners by our influence we
should win stars for our crown in heaven ;
and when I saw those stars in your crown,
I wished I could save some soul." The
elder sister went .to the dance, but in a
solemn meditation ; the words of the inno-
cent child found a lodgment iu her heart
and she could not enjoy the association of
her friends. At a reasonable hour she
left the ball and returned to her home;
ad going to her chamber, where her dear
little sister was sleepin;, imprinted a kiss
upon her soft cheek, and said, "Precious
sister, you have won one star for your
crown ;" and kneeling at the bedside,
offered a fervent prayer to God for mercy
Spiritual Adversities.
It seems at first a sad and inexplicable
fact, that the soul
,should not only have
its infirmities, its sorrow 4, and its sins ;
but that even when it seeks to turn from
these it should be faced by difficulties—
real, grave, discouraging difficulties—and
should have to fight its way through these
into the enjoyment of God's peace. In
our subsequent experience the explana
tion comes, and we learn to thank God for
early trials from which we have gained so
much. The seed once sown in tears
brings forth its fruit, and we reap our
harvest perhaps in a more reasonable and
intelligent faith ; perhaps in a habit of
calm moral confidence in God, independent
of emotional fluctuations ; perhaps in a
peculiar delicacy of sympathy for others
who pass through similar trials; perhaps
an increased value for, and in a disposition
the more jealously to guard, that which
we obtained at the cost of' so much suffer
ing ; or if not thus, yet in some other way
God's dealings with the seeking soul will
be in a measure justified now, and more
fully vindicated hereafter.—Rev. W. 11.
M. 11. Aitken, in the t'lero»tan's
Condescension of Christ.
In the plentitude ofgrace, the Redeemer
stands knocking at our door, making
choice of our sinful hearts at the ban
queting hall in which he will preside and
feast with us. That he should propose to
"sup with us," seems even more wonder.
ful than that we should be invited to
"sup with him." That he should conde
scend to share our poor provisions, our
imperfect sorrows for the past, our faint
aspirations after higher things, our falter
ing prayers and promises, our poor and
sin stained services, sl as to find joy and
complacency in these, this is a measure
grace, the riches of which surpass all our
comprehension. And, for him who so
"overcometh" the deadly fascinations of
sin and Satan, as to embrace the Divine
offer, what dignity, what glory in the
promise, "he shall sit with me on my
throne !" What felicity can be more
exalted, than that assigned to the once
"wretched and miserable and poor and
blind and naked," the deeply erring, but
now believing and contrite soul ?"—Ree.
J. W. Finley.
The Tiger in the Soul.
gentleman in India once raised a
tiger cub. his kindness seemed to eradi
cate the ferocity of its nature, and it grew
up as a pet. One day its owner, being
alone with it in his library, caressed it,
and gave it his hand to lick. The rough
tongue of the animal grazed his skin and
gave it its first taste of blood. Then its
ferocious nature awoke. Fury gleamed
from its eyes, and crouching, made
ready to spring upon its master. Fortu
nately, the gentleman had a loaded pistol
on his table, and saved his life by shoot
ing his former pet.
Human nature is fallen and the propen
sity to sin is lurking in every human soul.
It may appear at times to be dead, or dor
mant, or not to exist, but in the moment
of temptation, unless the grace of God
interpose, it will spring into life, and woe
be to the soul in which the evil nature is
not kept down by the almighty hand of
God. A new heart and constant divine
restraint is the only hope.
"Laugh and Grow Fat.'
This ancient bit of advice is well enough
for "spare" people, but how about those
that are already too fat ? What is to be
come of them ? Sit still, and I'll tell you.
After many experiments, extending
through months of patient investigation
and toil, the celebrated analytical chemist,
J. C. Allan, has perfected and given to the
world Allan's Anti-Fat. Thus far in
several hundred cases this great remedy
has never failed to reduce a corpulent per
son from three to six pounds per week.
It is perfectly harmless and positively
efficient. Sold by druggists.
IT Is not hasty but seriously reading,
meditating upon holy and heavenly truths,
that makes them prove sweet and profits
table to the soul. It is not the bee's
touching on the flowers that gathers honey,
but her abiding for a time upon them,
and drawing out the sweet. It is not he
that reads most, but lie that meditates
most un Divine Truth, that will prove the
choicest, wisest, strongest Christian.—
Bishop
WE cannot have fertilizing showers on
the earth without a clouded heaven above.
It is thus with our trials.
THE best society and convcrsatiou is
that in which the heart has a greater share
than the head.
THE chains of habit are generally too
small to be felt till they are too strong to
be broken.
