THERE'S A TIME FOR REPOSE.
BV W. L. DIFSENDERFER,
There's a time for repose—when all cares shall
be ended ;
It will come when the vesper-bell murmurs
its chime,
When the day and the night in soft twilight are
blended,
And the moments are sweetest that wait upon
time;
When the winds are abroad in their symphony
sighing,
And the moon is just touching with silver the
wave ;
When the strength of the spirit, o'er wearied, is
dying—
There's a time for repose from all care—in
the grave!
There's a time for repose—it will come to the
youthful,
It will steal over manhood's warm ardor of
heart,
\s it sinks in the thought of how little is truth
ful,
\nd that hopes w ere but fables that came to
depart.
It will come in the twilight of mind that is sor
row*,
In its time for the languishing spirit to save ;
And, behold, when the sua shall arise on the
morrow,
It will shine for that time of repose—in the
grave!
LOSING ONE'S TEMPER,
BY MRS. MARY GRAHAM.
I was sitting in my room one morning,
feeling all "out of sorts" about something
or other, when an orphan child, whom 1
had taken to raise, came 11. with a broken
tumbler in her hand, and said, while her
young face was pale, and her little lip quiv
ered—
'See, ma'am ! 1 went to take this tum
bler troin the dresser to get Anna a drink
of water, and I let it fall.'
• was in a lretful humor before the
child came in, aud her appearance, with
ttie broken tumbler in her hand, didn't tend
to help me to a better state of mind. She
was suffering a good deal of pain in con
sequence of the accident, and needed a
kind word to quiet the disturbed beatings
of her heart. But she had come to ine in
an unfortunate moment.
' You are a careless little girl !' said I j
severely, taking the fragments of glass from J
her trembling hands. 4 A very careless
utile girl, and I am displeased with you !'
1 said no more, but my countenance ex
pressed even stronger rebuke than my
words. The child lingered near me for a
lew moments, then shrunk away from the
room. I was sorry in a moment that I
had permitted myself to speak unkindly to
the little girl, lor there was no need of my
doiug so, and moreover, she had taken my
words, as 1 could see, deepiv to heart. 1
had made her unhappy without a cause. —
I .ie breaking of the tumbler was an acci
dent, likely to happen to any one, and the
child evidently felt bad enough about what
had occurred without having rnv displea
sure added thereto. If 1 was unhappy be
fore Jane entered my room, I was still
more unhappy after she retired. 1 blamed
myself and pitied the child ; but tiiis did
not in the least mend the matter.
In about half an hour, Jane came up
"very quietly with W illy, my dear little
curly-haired angel-faced boy, in her arms.
He had fallen asleep, and she had, with her
utmost strength, cariied him up stairs.—
tShe did not lift her eyes to mine as she
entered, but went with her burden, to the
low bed that was in the room, where she
laid h1 in tenderly, and then sat down with
her face turned partly away from ine, and
with a fan, kept off the flies, and cooled his
moist skin.
Enough of Jane's countenance was visi
ble to enable me to perceive that its ex
pression was sad. And it was an unkind
word front my lips that had brought this
cloud over her young face !
4 So much for permitting my self to fall
into a fretful mood,' said I mentally. 4 ln
>uture I must be moie watchful over rny
sfate of mind. 1 have no right to make
others suffer from my own unhappy tem
per.'
Jane continued to sit by Willy and fan
him ; and every now and then 1 could hear
a very low sigh come up, as if involuntary,
from her bosom. Faint as the sound was,
it smote upon rny ear, and added to my un
accountable frame of mind.
A friend called, and 1 went down iuto
the parlor, arid sat conversing theie for an
hour. But all the while there was a
weight upon my feelings. I tried, but in
v aiu, to be cheerful. I was hut too distinct
ly aware of the fact, that an individual
and that a motherless little girl was un
happy through my unkindness; and the
consciousness was like a heavy hand upon
my bosom.
4 This is all weakness,' I said to myself
a r icr my friend had left, making an effort
to throw off the uncomfortable feeling.— i
But it was of no avail. Even if the new
train of thought, awakened by conversation
widi my friend, had lifted rne above the
e'ate of rnind in which I was when she
ctme, the sight of Jane's sober face, as
f-ne pasred me on the stairs, would have
repressed my feeiinga again.
In order both to relieve my own and the
child's feeitogs, I thought I would refer to
the broken tumbler, and tell her not to
grieve herself about it, as its loss wus of no
consequence whatever. But this would
have been to have made an acknowledge
ment to her that 1 had been in the wrong,
and an instinctive feeling of pride remon
strated against that.
4 Ah rne !' 1 sighed. ' Why did I per- !
rnit myself to bpuak so unguardedly ? j
How small are the causes that sometimes
destroy our peace! IL,w much of good
or evil is there in a single word V
Some who read this may think that I
was very weak to let a hastily uttered cen
sure against a careless child trouble me
What ar<- a child's feelings 7
I have heen a child ; and, as a child,
have beenbldmed severely by those whom
1 desired to please, and fell that unkind
j words fell heavier and innre painfully,
| sometimes, tlian blows. [ could, therefore,
; understand the nature of Jane's feelings,
and sympathise with her to a certain extent.
All through the day, Jane moved about
more quietly than usual. When I -poke
I to her about anything—which I did in a
kinder voice than I ordinarily used —she
would look into my face with an earnest
ness that rebuked me.
Toward evening i sent her down stairs
| for a pitcher of cool water. She went
quickly, and soon returned with a pitcher
of water and a tumbler, 011 a waiter. She
was coming towards me, evidently using
more than ordinary caution, when her foot
tripped against something, and she stum
| hied forward. It was in vain she tried to
save the pitcher. Its balance was lost, ond
it fell over and was broken to pieces at
my feet, the water dashing upon the skirts
of my dress.
The poor child became instantly as pale
as ashes, and the frightened look she gave
nie, 1 shall not soon forget. She tried to
j speak, and say that it was an accident, but
her tongue was paralyzed for the moment,
and she found no utterance. The lesson
I had received in the morning, served me
for purposes of self-control now, and I said
I instantly, in a mild voice,
' Never mind, Jane; I know you couldn't
help it. I must tack down the loose edge
iof the carpc-t. I came near tripping there
myself to-day. Go and gel a floor cloth
and wipe up the water as quickly as you
can, while I gather up the broken pieces.'
The color came back instaritlv to Jane's
face. She gave me one grateful look, and
then ran quickly away, to do as 1 had d -
reeled her. When she came hack, she
I blamed herself for not having been more
careful, expressed sorrow for the accident,
and promised over and over again that she
would be more guarded in future.
I The contiast between both of our feel
ings now, and what they were in the morn
ing was very great. 1 Celt happier for
having acted justly and with due self-con
trol ; and my little girl, though troubled on
account of the accident, had not the extra
burden of my displeasure to bear.
' Better, far better,' I said to myself, as
1 sat and reflected upon the incidents just
related—'better, far better is it, in all our
relations in life, to maintain a calm exteri
or, and on r.o account to speak harshly to
those who are below us. Angry words
make double wounds. They hurt those to
whom they are addressed, while they leave
a sting behind them. Above all, should
we guard against a moody temper. When
ever we permit anything to fret our minds,
we are not in a state to exercise due self
control, and tf temptation comes then, we
are sure to fall.'— Ladies Wreath.

r Machine cperates equally well on
A all kinds of land, and is not injured hv
coining in contact with rocks, roofs, &c. It
will plant point rows, and ail irregular shaped
fields, without sowing any part twice over.
With a saving ot from 10 to 15 percent, in
labor, it will, with ease for two horses, plant
from 10 to 12 acres per day of wheat, oats,
barley, and other small grams; and witli one
man and horse, it will readily plant from 15 to
20 acres per day ot Indian corn, beans, peas,
rutabagas, <Jtc.
it will save from 2 to 3 pecks ot seed per
acre, and yield from 15 to 20 per cent, more
than the broad cast seeding, by distributing
the grain uniformly at any desired depth, arid
leaving a ridge of earth between the rows.
The roofs of the young plant are protected
during the winter by the action of the frost
and rain mou'dering the earth upon them, in
stead of being thrown cut and exposed as in
broad cast. On this account the stalk is
stronger and less subject to mildew, and is not
60 liable to injury by the fly.
The farmer is frequently prevented by rain
from harrowing in his grain alter it is sown,
which harrowing is needless in seeding with
litis Machine as it completes the work at once.

Thompson dj- Reed: Esteemed Friends—
I have had the Pcnnock Drill in use tor two
seasons, and from the vast difference in the
wheat crop over the broad cast, it is my decid
ed opinion that every farmer should have one
of them, as lie will be a gainer of at least one
tbird on each acre of his crop.

Mr. Aimer Thompson: Dear !Sir--The
Pennock Drill I got from you last summer,
worked to my entire satisfaction, in rough and
smooth ground. Each tube and hopper work
ing separate and independent of each other, is
a decided advantage, by escaping rocks, routs,
sowing point rows, Ac., and from the appear
ance of my crop at this time, there will be a
better yield to the acre than on what I sowed
broad-cast, besides a saving of one halt bushel
of seed to the acre. I believe it is one of the
most profitable agricultural implements in use
by the farming community.
