Eutu,t —The young wife of William Thornton
who was burled with her infant folded upon he
bOsom, sleeping the sonic deep sleep of its beau

Oh! have they burled her? Emma, so fair!
Away front the beautiful sunlight and air,
With eyelids sealed softly In silence and rest,
Iler arms clasping fondly the babe on he

What shall 1 .ay of her? Words have no power
To tell the full sweets of so perfect a flower,
Loved with such tenderness through her Nhort,
The child and the maiden, the bride and the
wife.
Well might they robe her in garments of white
As fair and as pure as the spirits of light,
And strew• fairest flowers around her, to show
What sweetness and Innoeenee Death had Ink

So young and so beautiful! Why should she
die?
Why should her soul wing its tray to the sky
When earth has such need of the good and the
true,
Ana love and adreet ion had need of lier, too?
Why should such beauty be snatched for the
Louth,
And shrouded away in its darkness and gloom':
But the answer comes quick to the questioning
prayer,
The Saviour in Heaven had need or her there
There—where no tempests orstorms ever lower
Where blooms in perfection each new-gathered
Slower,
Never to fade with earth's mildew or blight,
And never to chill with the shadows of night.
Dot oh! how the heart-strings \yin elingingt

Fast to the treasures He takes to his fold;
Bowing beneath the great weight of the ern,,
And grieving in agony over their loss.

With the strength of Ms word, and the light, of

No Sabbath.
In a prize essay on the Sabbath * written
bYll,l o llrneynain printer in Scotland, which
for singular power of language and beauty
of expression has never been surpassed,
there occurs the following passage. Read
it, and then relied for a while what a drea
ry and dosdlat• page would this life present
if th• Sabbath were blotted out from our
calculation.
"Yoke fellow! think how the abstrac
tion of th• Sabbath would hopelessly en
slave the working classes, with whom we
are identified.
Think of labor thus going on in one
monotonous and eternal cyele, limbs for
ever on the rack, the lingers forever strain
ing, tho brow forever sweating, the feet for
ever ploding, the brain forever throbbing,
the shoulders forever drooping, the 10i114
forever aching, and the restless mind for
ever scheming,.
"Think of the beauty it would efface, the
merry heartedness it would extinguish, of
the giant strength it would tonne, of the re
sources of nature it would crush, of the
s i c kness it would breed, of the projects it
would wreck, of the groans it would extort,
of the lives it would immolate, and of the
cheerless graves that it would prematurely
dig ! See them toiling and molting, sweat
ing and grinding and hewing, weaving and
spinning, strewing and gathering, mowing
and reaping, raising and building, digging
and planting, unloading, and storing, strug
gling in the garden and in the field, in the
granary and in the barn, in the factory and j
in the mill, in the warehouse and in the
shop, on the mountain and in the ditch. on
the roadside and in the wood, in the city
and in the country, on the sea and on the
shore, on the earth in the days of bright
ness and of gloom, What a sad picture
would the world present if we had no Sab

The Legend of St. Nicholas.
St. Nicholas was horn in the province of
Lyeia, in Asia Minor. His parents were of
great wealth, and noble. They had been
ninny years married without the blessing
of a child, and the birth of Nocholas was
hailed with many prayers and exceeding
great joy. Ilis life began with the same
saintly devotion which marked its continu
ance and its end, as is Shown by the re
markable fact that on the day of his birth
he stood up in his bath, and clasped his
hands in a prayer of gratitude to the God
who had given him existence. During his
youth he was distinguished by pious gravi
ty of demeithor and precocious reluctance
to partake in the sports of his more earthly
companions. His parents very conveni
ently died of the plague, so that their vast
possessions - became Lis own. Thereupon
Nicholas gave himself to works of charity.
Many wonderful acts are recorded of him.
Among the most famous was the story of
three hags of gold. For you must ::now
that there was a certain nobletutT who had
great riches and three daughters. But the
riches took to themselves wings, and the
daughters took to tears. Nor had the noble
man anything wherewithal be might feed
and clothe the maidens. Now while he sat
clay by day within his house overwhelmed
with grief, and perplexed with many doubts•
and plans for the sustenance whico he told
not toile niaidens, and while the maidens
wept and mourned exceedingly, St. Nicho
las beard thereof and his heart melted with
in him. So, upon a certain night while the
maidens lay sleeping, and the nobleman
kept watch and sighed in his porch, he stole
unto the house and bethought himself in
what manner he should best dispense his
charity and remain unknown. And while
Ito was doubting within htmself in great
perplexity the moon (by a miracle, of
course,) shone suddenly from the clouds
and pointed out to him the window—of
which St. Nicholas had not b 0,01) bright
enough to think. Then did he joyfully give
thanks, and let fall his bag of gold through
the window, and wont away. With the bag
of gold the mourning father married his
first daughter,and felt relieved exceedingly.
Then did Nicholas in like manner leave a
second bag or gold and depart unknown,
and thus was the second daughter snarried,
and the heart of the daughter made joyful.
Now when Nicholas went the third night
the nobleman kept watch Mr his benehic
tot:, and sprang upon, and cought him by
the robe, and cried, "Alt, St. Nicholas! the
God of the poor be with thee!"
So Nicholas bade him hold his peace in
the city, and went his way.
Now St. Nicholas traveled 111LIal i» ills

of his superior devotion. And the moat
wonderful of the ;rift:ldes was , in iq wise:
in (he emirs() of his journeys to and fro,
he stopped at an inn where the host being a
corrupt man and brutal, and being short of
meat, was in the habit of stealing children
and dismembering them for his fricasses.
Now when he set his dishes before Nicholas
the Saint was enabled at once to be aware
of their contents, and he cried out with a
voice of Outrider and commanded the Ito.t,
tepent of his silt. l'hen he went into the
tub lvhere the three Unfortunate children

• A noted sportsman, taking dinner at
one of our clubs, exhibited a diamond ring
of great beanie, and apparent value on his
linger. A gentleman present had it great
passion for diamonds. After dinner, the
parties met hi the office. After much ban

ring fin. the sum of six hundred dollars.
As the buyer left the room, it suppressed

the former owner had sold both the ring
and the buyer. Ile said nothing, but called
the nest day upon it jeweler, where lie
learned that the diamond was paste; and
the ring worth about t wenty-tive dollars.
Ile examined some real Mamonds, and
found one closely resembling, the paste in
his OW II ring. Ile hired the diamond for at
few days, pledged t Wel ye hundred dollars,
the price of it, and gave a lit/mired dollars

The Profits or vornlior..
For a man who is thoroughly in earnest,
farming offers a grand field for effort; but
the man who is only half in earnest, who
thinks costly barns, improved stock and a
nicely rolled lawn are the great objects of
attainment, may accomplish pretty results,
but they will be small ones. So the dilet
tanti farmer, who has a smattering of
science, whose head is tilled with rostrums,
win', thinks his salt will do it all, who doses
his crops HOW to feebleness and now to an
unnatural ex überance, who dawdles over
his fermentations while the neighbor's oxen
are breaking into his rye field, who has no
managing capacity, no breadth of vision,
who sends two men to accomplish the work
of one—let such a man give up all hope of
making farming a lucrative pursuit. But
if a Mall, as we said, be thoroughly in earn
est, if he has the sagacity to see all over his
farm, to systematize his labor, to carry out
his plans, punctually anti thoroughly; if
he is not above economies, nor heedless of
the teachings of science, nor unobservant
of progress otherwhere,—let him work, for
he will have his reward. But even such a
one will never conic to his "four-in-hand,"
except they be colts of his own raising or to
private concerts in his own grounds, except
what the birds make.

the best method of deodorizing and cleans

bottle, vet. Chemestry furnishes an agent
in the permanganate ot potassa which fully
meets this want. A pint of the permanga
nate turned into the most musty, filthy

moments will entirely decompose all fun

render the casks as sweet its those that are

of the permanganate, holdingas it does five

will even deodorize carbolic acid. The only
way to remove immediately the odor of
carbolic acid from the hands, is to immerse
them in the liquid permanganate.—Boslon

ME.u. Bur:AD.—Chemists and
physiologists maintain that the very finely
bolted and white flour which is so much
sought after, is far less nutritious than what
is termed middlings, or unbolted flour.
The most nutritious ingredients of the
grain—the wheat phosphates and gluten,—
are removed to obtain the desired white
ness. Dr. Henry Mceormic, an eminent
physician of Belfast, Ireland, in some in
teresting remarks on the subject, says:
"What 1 want, to see everywhere is the pre
paration of whole, meal bread—bread inclu
ding the bran-phosphates, so all-essential
to good bread and the nurture of our flesh
and bones. But I do not think that the
